The Region of Waterloo has not prioritized storm water incentives due to a lack of eligible properties. The Region will continue to evaluate the requirement of an incentive program, and will implement one as warranted.

Policy Text:

To promote best management practices and to provide guidance about the importance of source water protection, the Regional Municipality of Waterloo shall develop and implement an incentive program for persons engaging in the existing discharge of stormwater from a stormwater management facility exempt from Environmental Compliance Approvals in the following areas:

i. In Wellhead Protection Areas A and B where the vulnerability is equal to ten (10);
ii. In Wellhead Protection Area E where the vulnerability is greater than or equal to eight (8);
iii. In Intake Protection Zone One (1);
iv. In Intake Protection Zones Two (2) and Three (3) where the vulnerability is greater than or equal to eight (8);
v. Where a Nitrate and/or Chloride Issue has been identified, in all Issue Contributing Areas except in Wellhead Protection Area A.

Monitoring Text:
