Policy Text:
Within three years of the date the Source Protection Plan takes effect, the Municipality shall develop a pesticide management plan for municipal properties to ensure that the application or storage of pesticides does not pose a significant drinking water threat. This plan may provide direction to minimize the use (volume, area of application, application rate and frequency) of pesticides, target reductions and suggest alternatives to their use where possible.
The policy applies to the following vulnerable areas:
Callander IPZ-1 and 2;
Mattawa WHPA-A and B;
Powassan WHPA-A and B1; and
South River IPZ-1 with the exception of lands in Laurier Township (which are subject to LAU1).
