To ensure the following existing and future activities cease to be or never become significant drinking water threats, the Townships in collaboration with the Grand River Conservation Authority, Source Protection Authorities, and Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, where practical, will develop and implement education and outreach programs for the following activities:

a. Establishment, Operation or Maintenance of a Waste Disposal Site, within the Meaning of Part V of the Environmental Protection Act
b. The application of agricultural source material to land
c. The storage of agricultural source material
d. The application of commercial fertilizer
e. The handling and storage of commercial fertilizer
f. The application of pesticide to land
g. The handling and storage of pesticide
h. The use of land as livestock grazing or pasturing land, an outdoor confinement area or a farm-animal yard. Such programs may include, but not necessarily be limited to, increasing awareness and understanding of drinking water threats and promotion of best management practices.

The Education and Outreach program may consist of targeted mailings to specific property owners, inserts with current Township mailings, inclusion of Source Water Protection information in existing education and outreach programs and/or information available on the Townships� websites.

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.
