Where the storage of snow is, or would be, a significant drinking water threat, the following actions shall be taken:

1) The storage of snow 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)

2) The storage of snow 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-B (VS = 10) (existing, future); or  WHPA-E (VS ≥ 9) (existing, future); or  The remainder of an Issue Contributing Area for Sodium or Chloride (existing, future). Without limiting other requirements, risk management plans shall include appropriate terms and conditions to ensure the storage of snow, and associated runoff, ceases to be a significant drinking water threat. Notwithstanding the above, emergency snow storage may be permitted outside of WHPA-A as determined by the risk management official and the municipality responsible for snow storage in the absence of a Risk Management Plan.

MON-2: The Risk Management Official shall, by February 1 of each year, undertake the reporting requirements specified in s. 65 of O.
