Policy Text:
Within a wellhead protection area where the vulnerability score is 10, and where no Environmental Compliance Approval is required, waste disposal sites within the meaning of Part V of the Environmental Protection Act which are a significant drinking water threat, are designated for the purpose of Section 58 of the Clean Water Act, and require Risk Management Plans. This includes, for example, but is not limited to the following:
a) PCB waste storage either below grade, partially below grade in a tank, or outdoors and not in an approved container or
b) the storage of hazardous waste or liquid industrial waste, or
c) the storage of wastes as described in clauses (p), (q), (r), (s), (t), or (u) of the definition of hazardous waste at a site that is not approved to accept hazardous waste or liquid industrial waste.
The Risk Management Official shall negotiate or establish a Risk Management Plan with the person engaged in the designated threat activity within three years of the Plan coming into effect. The RMP is to contain, at a minimum, structural or management alterations (if any) which when implemented will ensure that existing operations continue to function in a manner which minimizes the risk to sources of municipal drinking water.
