Any Prescribed Instrument issued under the Nutrient Management Act that is created or amended or is used for the purposes of obtaining an exemption from a Risk Management Plan under section 61 of O. Reg. 287/07 shall incorporate terms and conditions that, when implemented, manage the activities they regulate such that those activities cease to be or never become, a significant drinking water threat. OMAFRA is expected to review all Prescribed Instruments issued under the Nutrient Management Act in areas where the activities they regulate are, or would be, significant drinking water threats to ensure the Prescribed Instruments contain such terms and conditions, including the Prescribed Instruments that are not directly created or issued by OMAFRA, such as Nutrient Management Plans.

(CG-CW-1.11) Where the Source Protection Plan policies require a provincial ministry to undertake an action regarding an activity under the Environmental Compliance Approval process or review, issue, amend or create a new Prescribed Instrument, the applicable Ministry shall provide a copy of the amended or approved Prescribed Instrument to the City of Guelph.

The applicable ministry shall provide a written report summarizing the relevant information to the Source Protection Authority by February 1st of each year.
