Policy Text:
Within Wellhead Protection Area B where the vulnerability score is 10, any existing storage of ASM or NASM where it is a significant 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) Agricultural Source Materials (ASM) in any quantity,
b) Non-Agricultural Source Materials (NASM) where either:
i. the storage is at or above grade and the mass of nitrogen is greater than 5 tonnes, or
ii. the storage is in a permanent nutrient storage facility below grade or partially above grade where the mass of nitrogen is at least 0.5 tonnes, or
iii. the NASM being stored contains material generated by a meat plant
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 shall include terms and conditions 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, Nutrient Management Plans or NASM Plans are expected to form the basis of the Risk Management Plan.
