The ministry has implemented its commitment to review and consider the policy and will continue to report on the actions resulting from the review of the policy.

Policy Text:

Where a spill from a facility could reach an off-site storm sewer such that it would be a significant drinking water threat, or moderate or low drinking water threat as identified in the Tables of Drinking Water Threats, the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks should enact the necessary regulation and/or instrument to require such facility owners to be subject to provincial approvals for spill prevention/ mitigation plans.

Timeline:
T-15: The policy shall be considered within 2 years from the date the Source Protection Plan takes effect.

Monitoring Text:

MON-4: The provincial ministry shall, by February 1 of each year, prepare and submit a report to the Source Protection Authority 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.
