Ministry staff have completed the review and screening process to identify previously issued Environmental Compliance Approvals for sewage works located in vulnerable areas where prescribed instrument policies may apply with the initial source protection plan approvals. However, the ministry continues to identify and review new existing Environmental Compliance Approvals as a result of source protection plan amendments on an annual basis. For those existing instruments that were screened by the Ministry and subject to existing threat prescribed instrument policies, the existing instruments had been reviewed to determine if the Standard Operating Policy can be applied or if amendments are needed to protect municipal drinking water sources.

Policy Text:

Where an existing stormwater management facility is a significant drinking water threat as described in Appendix B, the MOE shall ensure that the Prescribed Instrument that governs the facility (Certificate of Approval or Environmental Compliance Approval required under the Ontario Water Resources Act) includes appropriate terms and conditions to manage the threat so that it ceases to be significant. The MOE shall review, and if necessary amend, the Prescribed Instrument within three years from the date the Source Protection Plan takes effect

Monitoring Text:

MON-7-LB Annual Report from the MOE — Legally Binding Policies
By February 1 of each year, the MOE shall provide the Source Protection Authority with a summary of implementation activities for the previous calendar year related to significant/moderate/low threat policies where the MOE is the implementer.
