Policy Text:

To ensure that any existing onsite sewage system, including upgrades and replacements to such system, with a design flow of less than or equal to 10,000 Litres per day and subject to approval under the Ontario Building Code Act or the Ontario Water Resources Act and located within an Intake Protection Zone, where such an activity is a significant drinking water threat, ceases to be a significant drinking water threat, Haldimand County shall implement an onsite sewage system maintenance inspection program, as required under the Ontario Building Code Act. Inspections should be prioritized based on the proximity to the drinking water supply.

Monitoring Text:

HC-CW-1.4: The County of Haldimand shall provide a report to the Source Protection Authority,
by February 1st of each year, summarizing the actions taken to implement the
Source Protection Plan Policies.

Where the County is required to implement education and outreach programs as
the primary means of managing the risk associated with significant drinking water
threats, the County shall provide a report to the Source Protection Authority. This
report must indicate, at a minimum, the properties where these programs were
implemented and additional details on how the significant drinking water threat was
managed and/or ceased to be significant.
