To reduce the risks to drinking water due to the future application of road salt where this activity would be a significant drinking water threat, the County shall include policies in their Official Plan requiring all new development in vulnerable areas to provide salt impact assessments as part of a complete application for development which includes new roads and parking lots.

Such assessments should include but not be limited to mitigation measures regarding design of parking lots, roads and sidewalks to minimize the need for repeat application of road salt such as designing ponding of parking areas with the goal of reducing salt use; directing stormwater discharge outside of vulnerable areas where possible; and provisions to hire certified contractors.

BC-CW-1.10: Where the County is required to amend their Official Plan and/or Zoning By-law to bring their planning documents into conformity with the Source Protection Plan, the County shall provide proof of compliance to the Source Protection Authority and shall provide a copy of such compliance within 30 days of the amendment(s) coming into effect or, where the matter has been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board, the date of their decision to approve.
