a. Loyalist Township should determine the cause of increased sedimentation at the Bath water treatment plant by evaluating a series of samples along watercourses and storm sewers in Bath IPZ-1 and IPZ-2.
b. The Township should then work with landowners of properties in Bath IPZ-1 and IPZ-2 to reduce incidents and volumes of sedimentation. Sediment can carry contaminants associated with activities that are moderate or low drinking water threats such as the application of agricultural or non-agricultural source material, commercial fertilizer and pesticide to land, as well as the use of land as livestock grazing or pasturing land, an outdoor confinement area or farm animal yard and waste disposal sites.
c. Some actions that may be appropriate include establishing vegetative buffers along the creek, fencing out livestock, and installing catch basins and settling ponds for tile drainage and stormwater runoff.
d. A strategy to implement the action outlined in a. should be developed within two years of the Source Protection Plan taking effect.
