b. where a significant threat is identified, the risk management official shall:

i. establish risk management plans with the persons using or proposing to use farm lands for livestock outdoors within a wellhead protection area-A of any nutrient units and in a wellhead protection area-B and E where there are 5 nutrients units or greater per farm property. The implementation of these risk management plans shall be overseen by a risk management inspector and their content shall be based upon the regulatory requirements of a nutrient management strategy under the Nutrient Management Act and incorporate the best management practices for livestock grazing and pasturing land as set out in Streamside Grazing (2007 and as amended) including extensive grazing within a wellhead protection area-A, and scoped to address these specific threats.

ii. undertake an education and outreach program on nutrient management methods and their potential impacts on drinking water sources, in a wellhead protection area-B and E where there are less than 5 nutrients units per farm property.

c. the risk management official shall document in their annual report, in accordance with Section 65 of Ontario Regulation 287/07, action taken regarding risk management plans and education and outreach for the use of land as livestock grazing or pasturing land, an outdoor confinement area or a farm-animal yard and submit this report to the Source Protection Authority by February 1 of each year.
