Since May 2015, the Ministry has been screening environmental compliance approval (ECA) applications to determine if the activity is located in an area where the activity could be a significant drinking water threat. This is called the “primary screening”. Based on a set of criteria, an ECA application is flagged for a more detailed ‘secondary screening’ to determine if the activity associated with the application is a significant drinking water threat.

Policy Text:

The Ministry of the Environment, when reviewing applications for the establishment, operation or maintenance of sanitary sewers and related pipes that would be a significant drinking water threat in Miller Manor WHPA-A and WHPA-B, should require the incorporation of appropriate risk management measures to protect the source of drinking water as part of any environmental compliance approval.

Monitoring Text:
