====3. Topsoil Analysis and Certified Crop Advisor Report for Beneficial Use Evaluations====
The topsoil analysis would only be conducted if the O.Reg. 153/04 bulk soil tests determine that the sediment does not require landfill disposal due to high contamination levels. Topsoil analysis would be necessary to demonstrate that amending the receiving site soils with the sediment would provide a benefit to the soils, as required by the [https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/02n04 Nutrient Management Act], without inhibiting plant growth.
The list of analytes to be considered includes:
*Trace metal scan including hot water extractable boron
*SAR
*EC
*pH
*Soil Organic Matter (OM)
*Extractable (i.e., Available) Nutrients
*PSD
