To ensure that any Recharge Reducing Activity ceases to be a significant drinking water threat, where this activity is a significant drinking water threat as prescribed by the CWA, the MECP shall review and amend, if necessary, Environmental Compliance Approvals for Stormwater Management Facilities and / or Sewage Works to incorporate conditions, where appropriate, to address groundwater recharge considerations. Where appropriate and feasible, the MECP shall encourage the implementation of measures for the maintenance of groundwater recharge functions including LID, minimizing impervious surfaces and lot level infiltration. Where appropriate and feasible, the MECP shall consider establishing approval conditions in the Environmental Compliance Approval to ensure the proper functioning of groundwater recharge measures including, but not limited to, conditions requiring or related to operations, inspection and maintenance of the Stormwater Management Facilities and / or Sewage Works, groundwater or surface water monitoring related to groundwater recharge, and documentation including manuals and maintenance records.

For Stormwater Management Facilities and / or Sewage Works located within a WHPA-Q in a Chloride, Sodium or Nitrate ICA, the MECP shall consider conditions that address how recharge will be maintained and water quality will be protected from application and storage of winter maintenance materials including Salt.

WC-CW-1.12: Where the Source Protection Plan policies may result in amendments to a Prescribed Instrument or the issuance of a new Prescribed Instrument, the applicable ministry shall provide a summary of the actions taken the previous year to implement the policies and provide a written report summarizing this information to the Source Protection Authority by February 1st of each year.
