To reduce the risks to drinking water due to the establishment and operation of a liquid hydrocarbon pipeline within the meaning of O. Reg. 210/01 under the Technical Safety and Standards Act or is subject to the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, where the activity would be a significant drinking water threat, the pipeline proponent, the Canada Energy Regulator, and Ontario Energy Board, are encouraged to provide the Source Protection Authority and the Town the location of any new proposed pipeline within the Town and/or Source Protection Area.

The Source Protection Authority shall document in the annual report the number of new pipelines proposed within vulnerable areas if a pipeline has been proposed and/or an application has been received.
