MECP - Spills Response
Strategic

Future & Existing
Implemented
Spill response and notification procedures have been updated to geo-spatially determine if the spill is in a source protection vulnerable area. These new procedures ensure that if a spill has the potential to impact a drinking water treatment plant, the plant is notified along with any other affected parties. The source protection information atlas (SPIA), the online mapping tool, has been made available to the Spills Action Centre, among others, which displays the location of source protection vulnerable areas to incorporate into their business process.

To ensure spill prevention plans, contingency plans, and emergency response plans are updated for the purpose of protecting municipal drinking water sources with respect to spills that occur within a WHPA along highways, or railway lines,
The County is requested to incorporate the location of WHPAs into their emergency response plans in order to protect municipal drinking water sources when a spill occurs along highways or rail lines.
The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change is requested to provide mapping of the identified vulnerable areas to the Spills Action Centre to assist them in responding to reported spills along transportation corridors.
