To ensure that any Consumptive Water Taking never becomes a significant drinking water threat, where this activity would be a significant drinking water threat as prescribed by the CWA, Municipalities, when reviewing planning applications for New development requiring a new or amended PTTW for groundwater taking within a WHPA-Q, shall consult with the MECP to discuss any necessary approval conditions of the PTTW.

Municipalities shall consider the use of holding zone provisions or a community planning permit in order to ensure that a PTTW, if required, is in place prior to the commencement of any development activity.

WC-CW-1.9: The Municipality and/or County 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 specifically required by the policies.

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.
