Policy Text:

To ensure the establishment of any new on-site septic system and holding tanks with a design flow of greater than 10,000 Litres per day and regulated under Section 53 of the Ontario Water Resources Act never becomes a significant drinking water threat, where such an activity would be a significant drinking water threat, the Township and County of Grey, where applicable, shall prohibit development which relies on this type of on-site septic system within the municipal planning approval process.

Monitoring Text:

GC-S-CW-1.8: Where the Township and/or County of Grey are required to amend their Official
Plan and/or Zoning By-law to bring their planning documents into conformity with
the Source Protection Plan, the Township and County shall provide proof of
compliance to the Source Protection Authority and shall provide a copy of such
compliance within 30 days of final adoption of the amendment(s) or, where the
matter has been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board, the date of their
decision to approve.
