Based on criteria, the prescribed instrument application may be flagged for a more detailed ‘secondary screening’ to determine if the activity associated with the application is a significant drinking water threat. If yes, the appropriate standard operating policy is applied. As legally required, where a source protection policy that relies on a prescribed instrument to prohibit an activity that is a significant drinking water threat, the ministry is conforming to the policy by refusing to issue an instrument for the activity.

Policy Text:

For any new stormwater management facility that would discharge stormwater where this activity would be a significant drinking water threat, the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks shall prohibit this activity through the Environmental Compliance Approvals process to ensure this activity never becomes a significant drinking water threat.

Monitoring Text:

(OC-CW-1.12): Where the Source Protection Plan policies prohibit an activity through the use of a prescribed instrument, the applicable Ministry shall summarize the actions taken the previous year to implement the policies and provide a written report summarizing this information to the Source Protection Authority and the County by February 1st of each year.
