Within a wellhead protection area where the vulnerability score is 10, any existing or future commercial fertilizer or pesticide application where it is or would be a significant drinking water threat, is designated for the purpose of Section 58 of the Clean Water Act, and requires a Risk Management Plan. This includes, for example, but is not limited to the following (for full circumstance details refer to the MOE Tables of Circumstances):

a) the application of commercial fertilizers where either
i. the livestock density (according to livestock density mapping) is greater than 1.0 nutrient unit/acre or
ii. the percentage of managed land is greater than 80%.

b) the application of pesticides to an area of land greater than 1 hectare resulting in the presence of chemicals listed in the MOE Table of Circumstances.

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. Prescribed Instruments such as Nutrient Management Strategies or Nutrient Management Plans are expected to form the basis of the Risk Management Plan.

Policy P.12.10 – Monitoring Policy for Policies where a Municipality or Principal Authority is named as an Implementing Body
By February 01, 2016, and then thereafter annually by February 01, where a policy of this plan prescribes that a municipality or a principal authority shall undertake an implementing action, the municipality and the principal authority shall complete and submit to the Source Protection Authority, the monitoring report in a form to be established (this includes reporting from Risk Management Officials).
