2 Nutrient Management Strategies were submitted in the Grand River Source Protection Area in significant drinking water threat areas in 2023. One had an insignificant amount of overlap with WHPA A (property boundaries barely touching) so no action taken. One had conditions placed on approval, where the conditions were: no establishment of an ASM storage, OCA/yard without Director notification and approvalFor 2 - Overlap with WHPA A, no conditions added because NMA already prohibits activity in WHPA A (also very small incidental overlaps) A list of the municipal tax roll numbers for operations follows: 221900000400600 301803000502701 301803000503400 301803000503450 292000100015600 324502005024900 Conditions: no establishment of an ASM storage, OCA/yard without Director notification and approval Risk Management Official copied on approval
