Policy Text:
In accordance with Section 59 of the Clean Water Act, all land uses, with the exception of residential uses, where significant drinking water threat activities have been designated for the purpose of Section 57 and 58 of the Clean Water Act, are hereby designated as Restricted Land Uses. Within these areas, a written Notice from the Risk Management Official shall be required prior to approval of any Building Permit, Planning Act or Condominium Act application.
Notwithstanding, a Risk Management Official may issue written direction specifying the conditions that would permit a planning authority or building official to make a determination whether to: 1) designate a site specific residential land use as a Restricted Land Use; or 2) exempt a site specific land use from the Restricted Land Use designation. In order to exempt a site specific land use, the planning authority or building official must be satisfied that:
a. The application complies with the written direction issued by the Risk Management Official; and
b. The applicant has demonstrated that a significant drinking water threat activity designated for the purposes of section 57 or 58 will not be engaged in, or will not be affected by the application.
