MECP – MRDWS – Fuel Handling & Storage

Conform with

Prescribed Instruments

Existing

Implemented

All incoming applications to the Municipal Drinking Water Licencing Program are screened to determine if fuel storage or handling activities are being proposed or altered. Applications are reviewed to ensure conformance with significant drinking water threat policies. As part of the current round of licence renewals (with updated licences being issued between 2024-2027), licence conditions will be amended to ensure municipal drinking water system owners assess potential new and existing threats to drinking water per the most current version of the technical rules and any updated source protection plan policies, and implement mitigation measures where policies apply.

Policy Text:

Where the handling and storage of fuel associated with the drinking water system (existing and/or future) is or would be a significant drinking water threat as described in Appendix B, the MOE shall ensure that the Prescribed Instrument that governs the system (approvals issued under the Safe Drinking Water Act) includes appropriate terms and conditions so that:

a) The handling and storage of fuel (existing) ceases to be a significant drinking water threat; or

b) The handling and storage of fuel (future) never becomes a significant drinking water threat.

The MOE should consider including in the terms and conditions the risk management measures listed in policy FUEL-1-LB-S58. The MOE shall comply with part (a) of this policy within three years from the date the Source Protection Plan takes effect.

Monitoring Text:
