Future & Existing

Implemented

Spill response and notification procedures have been updated to geo-spatially determine if the spill is in a source protection vulnerable area. These new procedures ensure that if a spill has the potential to impact a drinking water treatment plant, the plant is notified along with any other affected parties.

Policy Text:

The MOECC is strongly encouraged to update spill response procedures for the purpose of protecting drinking water sources with respect to spills that occur within a Wellhead Protection Area or Intake Protection Zone along highways and railway lines. Action to implement this policy should be initiated within one year from the date the Source Protection Plan takes effect.

Monitoring Text:
