Policy Text:

The County and/or Municipality shall amend, as required, their Official Plan and Zoning By-Laws to:

a. Identify the vulnerable areas in which drinking water threats prescribed under the CWA would be significant;
b. Indicate that within the areas identified, any use or activity that is, or would be, a significant drinking water threat is required to conform with all applicable Source Protection Plan policies and, as such, may be prohibited, restricted or otherwise regulated by those policies;
c. Incorporate any other amendments required to conform with the threat specific land use policies identified in this Source Protection Plan.

Consistent with the above policy direction, the County and/or Municipality shall amend, as required, their Official Plan and Zoning By-laws to ensure that any Consumptive Water Taking and/or Recharge Reducing Activity never becomes a significant drinking water threat where this activity would be a significant drinking water threat.
