Upon the Plan coming into effect, all future Environmental Compliance Approvals issued by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment for new or replacement septic systems which are systems regulated under the Ontario Water Resources Act, and which are proposed to be located within a highly vulnerable aquifer or significant groundwater recharge area where they would be a moderate or low drinking water threat, should include terms and conditions which when implemented will adequately manage the risk to sources of municipal drinking water. It is recommended that where the Director considers it appropriate, the following terms and conditions be included: require all new or replacement septic systems to be tertiary treatment systems.

Policy P.12.11 – Monitoring Policy for Non‐Legally Binding Policies where a Provincial Ministry, Municipality, Conservation Authority, or Source Protection Authority is named as an Implementing Body.

Where a policy of this Plan recommends that a Provincial Ministry, Municipality, Conservation Authority, or Source Protection Authority should undertake an implementing action, the Municipality or Authority should, by February 1 of each year, prepare and submit to the Source Protection Authority a report in a form to be established, summarizing their actions and results for the previous year.
