Policy Text:
To ensure that existing and future discharge from a stormwater management facility never becomes or ceases to be a significant drinking water threat, where this activity is or would be a significant drinking water threat, the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks shall ensure Environmental Compliance Approvals include terms and conditions that, when implemented, will reduce the risk to drinking water sources. Terms and conditions may include, but not be limited to, current best management practices, requirements for regular maintenance, periodic removal of accumulated sediment, lining of the pond, ongoing monitoring (by the owner) of the contaminant discharges, and other requirements to address site conditions.
