Policy Text:

To ensure the existing and future handling and storage of a dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPLs) and/or an organic solvent cease to be or never become significant drinking water threats, where these activities are, or would be, significant drinking water threats, the Townships with the assistance of the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks should develop and produce an education and outreach program for municipal delivery targeted towards:

a) an individual for personal or family use to promote the use of non-toxic products and additional opportunities for participation in household hazardous waste disposal.
b) industrial and commercial users to promote the use of alternatives to DNAPLs (including non-toxic products), pollution prevention approaches, Best Management Practices, and safe disposal in industries.

Monitoring Text:

DC-AEG-CW-1.8: Where the Townships are required to implement education and outreach
programs as the primary means of managing the risk associated with
significant drinking water threats, the Townships shall provide a report to the
Source Protection Authority by February 1st of each year. This report must
indicate, at a minimum, the properties where these programs were
implemented and additional details on measures implemented to ensure the
significant drinking water threats cease to be or never become a significant
drinking water threat.
