MTO - Fuel

Have Regard to

Prescribed Instruments

Future

Implemented

There are currently no proposed prescribed instrument applications affected by source protection policies. All (existing and future) MTO Aggregate/Wayside Permits, as well as existing dormant Permits activated for a provincial highway contract, must contain fuel handling and storage conditions in the site plan, as prescribed by regulation. This includes installation of fuel storage tanks in accordance with the CSA B139 Installation Code for Oil Burning Equipment and compliance with the strict conditions specified by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) Liquid Fuels Handling Code, 2017, as amended. Furthermore, MTO does not allow permanent or long term storage of fuel at MTO permit sites. Such requirements ensure the activity is managed in a manner that reduces the risk of contamination.

Policy Text:

The Ministry of Natural Resources, through its review of site plans included in applications for licences and permits for new or expanding aggregate extraction, should require terms and conditions be included to reduce the risk of groundwater contamination from a spill or leak associated with the handling and storage of liquid fuel at the site, where this activity would be a low drinking water threat.

Monitoring Text:

(5.5.8-NB): The Ministry of Natural Resources should include information about policy 5.5.7-HR in an annual summary of actions taken to achieve outcomes of source protection policies and make it available to the Cataraqui Source Protection Authority.
