TSSA continues to administer O. Reg. 217/01 in accordance with its regulatory mandate with respect to bulk plant, cardlock/keylock and retail outlets. This includes periodic inspections, design reviews and variances where applicable, which are posted on the Environmental Registry for stakeholder review and input. In 2024, TSSA continued to develop a regulatory proposal for government that includes licensing for private fuel outlets. Consultations by TSSA continue on the scope of possible regulation amendments for private outlets.

Policy Text:

Where the handling and storage of fuel at an existing bulk plant, cardlock/keylock or retail outlet including a marina (licensed facilities) as defined in Section 1 of Ontario Regulation 217/01 is a significant drinking water threat as described in Appendix B, this activity shall continue to be managed through existing regulatory requirements. The existing requirements under Ontario Regulation 217/01 and the Liquid Fuels Handling Code administered by the TSSA already manage this activity so that it is not a significant threat to drinking water.
