MECP - Spills Response

Strategic

Specify Actions to be taken to implement plan or achieve its objectives

Future & Existing

Implemented

Spill response and notification procedures have been updated to geo-spatially determine if the spill is in a source protection vulnerable area. These new procedures ensure that if a spill has the potential to impact a drinking water treatment plant, the plant is notified along with any other affected parties. The source protection information atlas (SPIA), the online mapping tool, has been made available to the Spills Action Centre, among others, which displays the location of source protection vulnerable areas to incorporate into their business process.
