Policy Text:
Where there could be a significant threat from the handling of liquid fuels and fuel oil in a quantity exceeding 2500 L, the storage
of liquid fuel in tanks of 250 L or greater that are located partially, or completely below grade, and tanks greater than 2500 L for any facility located
above grade, the Municipality, in association with appropriate partners, shall plan and deliver an education and outreach program within one year of the date
the Source Protection Plan takes effect. The program shall be designed to ensure those involved in the handling and storage of fuel, including but not limited to the
owner/operator of the facility, are aware of the risks posed to source water, how to reduce those risks, and how to recognize and respond to a spill.
The program shall be made available and updated as necessary on an ongoing basis as is deemed appropriate by the Municipality.
Further, the program may be delivered more broadly at the discretion of a municipal council.
The policy shall apply in the following vulnerable areas:
Mattawa WHPA-A and B;
Powassan WHPA-A and B1;
