The Cataraqui Source Protection Authority shall consider coordinating its targeted efforts, as well as those of local partners, and communicate via Conservation Ontario with those provincial partners, who deliver relevant education and outreach programs so that educational resources are updated to include related drinking water source protection information for use in the wellhead protection areas and intake protection zones where significant drinking water threats can or do occur.
An initial meeting or series of meetings of local and provincial partners should occur within six months of the Source Protection Plan taking effect.
The appropriate organization should develop or update programs accordingly within two years of the Source Protection Plan taking effect, and provide the Source Protection Authority with a report describing the actions it has taken to do so.
The Source Protection Authority should prepare a report that includes a description of what steps are being taken to determine the extent to which the program has achieved its objectives, and suggestions to improve the effectiveness of the education and outreach program.
