The following activities are designated for the purpose of Section 58 of the Clean Water Act, 2006 (Risk Management Plan), where the activity is or could be a significant drinking water threat for activities that are not subject to the requirements of the Nutrient Management Act, 2002 (as amended):

the storage and application of agricultural source material (ASM);
the use of land for livestock grazing/pasturing or outdoor confinement area/farm-animal yard; and
the handling, storage, and application of commercial fertilizer.

The Risk Management Plan will be based upon the same principles as the requirements of a Nutrient Management Plan/Strategy or Environmental Farm Plan. The Risk Management Plan will include these conditions where appropriate:

Requiring soil samples be done at least once every five years (the default value of 101 ppm of plant available phosphorus and 251 ppm of plant available potassium can be used in place of the first soil test)
Based on soil samples, fertilizer and ASM shall be used at the appropriate rates
Requiring the establishment of minimum vegetative buffers from surface water
Requiring structural or management alterations needed to meet current best management practices (i.e. nutrient management standards for runoff)
No ASM or fertilizer shall be spread within the WHPA-A (100 m around the wellhead)

Risk Management Plans or voluntary Nutrient Management Plans/Strategies prepared by a person certified by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs under the Nutrient Management Act which meet the expectations of Section 58 (15) of the Clean Water Act, 2006 and Source Protection Plan shall be accepted by the Risk Management Official.
