Policy Text:

In accordance with Section 59 of the Clean Water Act, 2006, all land uses, except solely residential uses, where significant drinking water threat activities have been designated for the purposes of Section 57 and 58 of the Clean Water Act, 2006 are hereby designated as Restricted Land Uses and a written notice from the Risk Management Official is required prior to approval of any Building Permit, Planning Act or Condominium Act application.

Despite the above policy, a site specific proposed land use that is the subject of an application for an approval under the Planning Act (as prescribed in O. Reg. 287/07 Section 62), or for a permit under the Building Code Act, is not designated for the purpose of Section 59 if the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the planning authority or the building official, as the case may be, that a significant drinking water threat activity designated for the purposes of Section 57 or 58 will not be engaged in.
