Policy Text:

To ensure an Existing or Future Stormwater Management Facility that discharges stormwater ceases to be or never becomes a significant drinking water threat, where this activity is or would be a significant drinking water threat, the MECP shall review and, if necessary, amend Environmental Compliance Approvals to incorporate terms and conditions that, when implemented, will ensure that this activity ceases to be or never becomes a significant drinking water threat.

The terms and conditions may include requirements for regular maintenance, monitoring and inspections conducted by the proponent. For Stormwater Management Facilities located within the WHPA-Q in a Chloride, Sodium or Nitrate ICA, the MECP shall consider conditions which require best management practices to protect water quality, and which address how recharge will be maintained and water quality will be protected including consideration of how water quality will be protected from application and storage of winter maintenance materials including Salt.

Monitoring Text:
