Policy Text:

Within three years of the Plan coming into effect, municipalities should require all commercial landowners within their jurisdiction which are located either entirely or partially within a wellhead protection area where the vulnerability score is 10 and engage in the handling, storage or application of road salt where it would be a moderate or low threat, to develop a salt management plan. The salt management plan will outline required (if any) structural or management alterations which when implemented will ensure that existing operations continue to function in a manner which minimizes the risk to sources of municipal drinking water. The salt management plans are expected to be based on existing programs such as Smart About Salt.
