For farms that do not require a Nutrient Management Plan or Strategy, where the application of ASM is, or would be, a significant drinking water threat, the following actions shall be taken:
1) The application of ASM is designated for the purpose of s.57 under the Clean Water Act, and is therefore prohibited where the threat is, or would be, significant in any of the following areas:

WHPA-A (existing, future); or
WHPA-B (VS = 10) in an Issue Contributing Area for Pathogens (future); or
WHPA-E in an Issue Contributing Area for Nitrates or Pathogens (future).

2) The application of ASM is designated for the purpose of s.58 under the Clean Water Act, requiring risk management plans where the threat is, or would be significant. In addition to any other risk management measures required through the risk management plan, the risk management plan shall as a minimum ensure:
a) the application of ASM is not applied during restricted periods, or any other time when the soil is snow covered or frozen consistent with the limitations of subsection 52.2 - 52.4 of Ontario Regulation 267/03 under the Nutrient Management Act, 2002 to avoid runoff; and

b) soil testing is required for plant available nitrogen each year prior to application of ASM to determine appropriate application rates, in any of the following areas:

WHPA-B (VS = 10) which is not in an Issue Contributing Area for Nitrates or Pathogens (existing, future); or
WHPA-E (VS = 8) which is not in an Issue Contributing Area for Nitrates or Pathogens (existing, future); or
WHPA-B (VS = 10) in an Issue Contributing Area for Nitrates (existing, future); or
WHPA-B (VS = 10) in an Issue Contributing Area for Pathogens (existing); or
WHPA-E in an Issue Contributing Area for Nitrates or Pathogens (existing); or
the remainder of an Issue Contributing Area for Nitrates or Pathogens (existing, future).


Timelines:
T-4: Activities (existing) designated for the purpose of s.57 under the Clean Water Act as prohibited, shall be prohibited by the Risk Management Official within 180 days from the date the Source Protection Plan takes effect as per s. 57(2) under the Clean Water Act, unless otherwise specified within the policy.
T-5: Activities (future) designated for the purpose of s.57 under the Clean Water Act are prohibited immediately upon the date the Source Protection Plan takes effect.
T-6: Activities (existing) designated for the purpose of s.58 under the Clean Water Act, requiring risk management plans shall be identified and confirmed within 1 year by the Risk Management Official. Risk management plans shall be established within 5 years from the date the Source Protection Plan takes effect.
T-7: Activities (future) designated for the purpose of s.58 under the Clean Water Act, requiring risk management plans, are prohibited until such time as a risk management plan is approved by the Risk Management Official, immediately upon the date the Source Protection Plan takes effect.

MON-2: The Risk Management Official shall, by February 1 of each year, undertake the reporting requirements specified in s. 65 of O. Reg. 287/07 under the Clean Water Act, 2006 on the actions taken in the previous calendar year to achieve the outcomes of the source protection policy. Reporting shall include information related to the effectiveness of the policies in ensuring a threat ceases to be, or does not become significant, and any actions required to respond to a drinking water threat during the reporting period.
