Policy Text:

The following existing activities are designated for the purpose of Section 58 of the Clean Water Act, and require Risk Management Plans: the storage (for any period of time), or handling of fuel where it is a significant drinking water threat either entirely or partially within a wellhead protection area where the vulnerability score is 10, including, for example, but not limited to (for full circumstance details refer to the MOE Tables of Circumstances):

a.) below grade or partially below grade storage of fuel where the quantity is greater than 250 litres, or
b.) above grade storage or handling of fuel where the quantity is greater than 2500 litres.

The Risk Management Official shall negotiate or establish a RMP with the person engaged in the designated threat activity within three years of the Plan coming into effect, including persons seeking a demolition permit as part of a proposal to remove a fuel oil heating system. The Risk Management Plan is to contain, at a minimum, structural or management alterations (if any), which when implemented will ensure that existing operations continue to function, or that decommissioning occurs, in a manner which minimizes the risk to sources of municipal drinking water. Risk Managements Plans should reflect current Ontario Regulations such as, but not limited to, the requirements of the Liquid Fuels Handling Code and/or the Fuel Oil Code.
