Future handling and storage of fuel for a retail gas station or bulk fuel storage facility excluding bulk fuel storage associated with a municipal emergency generator facility within a Wellhead Protection Area A (WHPA-A) are designated for the purpose of Section 57 of the Clean Water Act, 2006 and is therefore prohibited to ensure this activity never becomes a significant drinking water threat.
