For lands that do not require a Nutrient Management Plan or Strategy, where the application of commercial fertilizer to land is, or would be, a significant drinking water threat (excluding incidental quantities for personal use), the following actions shall be taken:

1) The application of commercial fertilizer (containing nitrogen) 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-E in an Issue Contributing Area for Nitrates (future).

2) The application of commercial fertilizer (containing nitrogen or phosphorus) to land 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 any of the following areas:

WHPA-B (VS = 10) (existing, future); or
WHPA-E (VS = 9) which is not in an Issue Contributing Area for Nitrates (existing, future); or
WHPA-E in an Issue Contributing Area for Nitrates (existing); or
the remainder of an Issue Contributing Area for Nitrates (existing, future).
