Where the handling and storage of liquid fuel and fuel oil at non-residential properties, multi-unit residential properties or small businesses (in quantities = 2500 litres above or below grade) is in an area where the activity is, or would be, a significant drinking water threat, the following actions shall be taken:

1) The handling and storage of fuel 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 handling and storage of fuel 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).

Without limiting other requirements, risk management plans shall incorporate appropriate provisions of Ontario Regulations 213/01 and 217/01 and their codes, best management practices and standards as amended from time to time to ensure the activity ceases to be a significant drinking water threat.

3) The Source Protection Authority shall:
a) request inspection reports from the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) on Private Fuel Outlets (PFOs) in areas where the handling and storage of fuel is a significant threat as requested by the SPA; and
b) provide this information to the Risk Management Official to aid in prioritizing the development of the risk management plans for those that pose the greatest risk first; and
c) provide to TSSA any data about leaks and other concerns observed, as they relate to TSSA's mandate to enforce O. Reg. 213/217 (as amended) and their corresponding codes, at PFOs from RMOs or through SPA staff work that would support TSSA's enforcement of regulatory requirements for PFOs.

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.
T-14: The policy shall be complied with within 180 days from the date the Source Protection Plan takes effect.

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.

MON-3: The source protection authority shall include in the annual report pursuant to s.46 under the Clean Water Act, 2006, documentation on the risk
reduction efforts they administered throughout the year. 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.
