Policy Text:

To ensure any Existing or Future application of road Salt ceases to be or never becomes a significant drinking water threat, where this activity is or would be a significant drinking water threat, the municipality and/or County of Wellington shall review and, if necessary, revise or issue new Salt Management Plans for the application of Salt on roadways.

The Salt Management Plan shall include, as a minimum, measures to ensure application rate, timing and location reduce the potential for Salt-related surface water run-off and groundwater infiltration and meet the objectives of Environment Canada's Code of Practice for Environmental Management of Road Salts including the Salt vulnerable area mapping to include areas where significant threats can occur. Where an RMP applies to municipal Salt application, the Salt Management Plan shall be incorporated into the RMP.

Where the municipality and/or County is required to implement education and outreach programs as the primary means of managing the risk associated with significant drinking water threats, the report must indicate, at minimum additional details on how the significant drinking water threat was managed and/or ceased to be significant.
