The Ministry of the Environment should update its spill prevention, spill contingency plans and emergency response plans, including procedure cards, to identify municipal wellhead protection areas and intake protection zones in the Cataraqui Source Protection Area within one year of the Source Protection Plan taking effect.

The Ministry should also undertake a program analysis to determine what, if any, procedural changes are required to ensure that drinking water sources will be protected through the Ministry's response to spills in these areas.

In order to monitor the implementation of a. and b., the Ministry should include information about this policy in an annual summary of actions taken to achieve source protection objectives and make it available to the Cataraqui Source Protection Authority. It is recommended that the summary include information about spills that might have an adverse impact on a source of drinking water in a wellhead protection area or intake protection zone, including a summary of any resulting contamination and the results of any site remediation required.
