The terms and conditions may include requirements for regular maintenance and inspections conducted by the proponent.

Where the Source Protection Plan policies may result in amendments to an existing Prescribed Instrument or the issuance of a new Prescribed Instrument, the applicable ministry shall provide a summary of any actions taken the previous year to implement the policies and provide a written report summarizing this information to the Source Protection Authority by February 1st of each year.
