Policy Text:
Under the following circumstances, the handling and storage of liquid fuel are significant drinking water threats, and are designated for the purpose of section 58 of the Clean Water Act. Therefore a risk management plan is required for these activities in Miller Manor WHPA-A and WHPA-B:
the existing and future below grade or partially below grade storage of more than 250 litres but less than 2,500 litres of liquid fuel, and any associated fuel handling.
The risk management plan for the handling and storage of liquid fuel associated with oil for heating appliances (e.g., furnaces) should require, at a minimum, annual inspections by a certified Fuel Oil Burning Appliance Technician, confirmation of the repair and/or replacement of any defective equipment to the satisfaction of the certified Technician, and the implementation of best management practices as appropriate such as the installation of leak detection and spill containment equipment.
If these activities are engaged in immediately before the Source Protection Plan takes effect, the risk management plan shall be agreed to within two years of the Source Protection Plan taking effect.
If these activities are to be engaged in after the Source Protection Plan takes effect, the risk management plan shall be agreed to before the activity becomes established.
