Policy Text:
To ensure the establishment, operation or maintenance of a new waste disposal site, or aspect thereof, within the meaning of Part V of the Environmental Protection Act, which does not require an Environmental Compliance Approval and comprises one of the following waste disposal site threat subcategories:
storage of wastes described in clauses (p), (q), (r), (s), (t), or (u) of the definition of hazardous waste, or in clause (d) of the definition of liquid industrial waste;
storage of hazardous or liquid industrial waste; or
storage of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) waste
and where such waste disposal site would be a significant drinking water threat, it shall be designated for the purpose of Section 58 of the Clean Water Act and a Risk Management Plan shall be required to manage the activity such that it never becomes a significant drinking water threat.
The requirements of the Risk Management Plan may be based on Ministry of the Environment tools and requirements for such activities, as set out in the Environmental Protection Act, but may also include any modifications or additional requirements that are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Risk Management Official.
