Policy Text:

Where an approval under the Environmental Protection Act is not required, the establishment, operation or maintenance of a waste disposal site, including for the storage of PCB waste where it is, or would be, a significant drinking water threat, will require the following actions to be taken:
1) The storage of PCB waste is designated for the purpose of s.57 under the Clean Water Act, and is therefore prohibited where the threat would be significant in any of the following areas:

WHPA-A (future); or
WHPA-B (VS = 10) (future); or
WHPA-E (VS = 10) (future).

2) The storage of PCB waste is designated for the purpose of s.58 under the Clean Water Act, requiring risk management plans where the threat is significant in any of the following areas:

WHPA-A (existing); or
WHPA-B (VS = 10) (existing); or
WHPA-E (VS = 10) (existing).


Timelines:
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.

Monitoring Text:

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.
