Implemented: Policy outcome(s) evaluated - No further action(s) required

Planning has a process in place for approving settlement area expansions that consider source water protection policy implications. Furthermore, Greensville is the only municipal well where a WHPA-Q was delineated but future reduction in recharge was not identified as a significant drinking water threat. No further action is required.

The Town’s sub-watershed study requirements include a requirement for a water balance analysis and promote the use of LID measures where feasible; not only in wellhead protection areas.

Policy Text:

Within a wellhead protection area Q2 where a future reduction in recharge would be a significant drinking water threat:

a. the municipal planning authority shall require that planning applications demonstrate that all attempts have been made to achieve a pre-development recharge condition using best management practices and including low impact development measures.

Monitoring Text:

T-59-C (b): The municipal planning authority shall report on actions taken to implement this policy to the Source Protection Authority by February 1 of each year.
