Within one year of the Plan coming into effect, municipalities in collaboration with the lead Source Protection Authority (SPA) shall implement an outreach and education program, developed by the lead SPA, for delivery to all landowners within their jurisdiction engaged in road salt handling, storage or application* where it is a significant drinking water threat, either entirely or partially within a wellhead protection area where the vulnerability score is 10. This includes, for example, but is not limited to the following (for full circumstance details refer to the MOECC Tables of Circumstances):

a) application* of road salt where the impervious surface is greater than 80%
b) storage of road salt where the vulnerability score is 10 and the quantity stored is greater
than 5,000 tonnes.

The outreach and education program is intended to help inform affected landowners of risks to sources of local municipal drinking water and help identify means by which such risks can be minimized. The education program should be based on existing programs such as �Smart About Salt�.
* It should be noted that road salt application cannot become a significant threat to drinking water without an increase in the impervious surface area to 80% or more of the lands within wellhead protection areas (please refer to the explanatory document for further information).
