The policy applies in all vulnerable areas where the establishment, operation or maintenance of a system that collects, stores, transmits, treats or disposes of sewage is a significant drinking water threat, in particular the discharge of stormwater from a stormwater management facility (existing activity).

Municipalities shall give due consideration to evaluating existing stormwater management facilities in vulnerable areas. If found to be deficient, due consideration shall be given to implementing measures that would improve the functioning of the facilities with respect to water quality.

An initial review shall be completed within three years of the effective date of the Source Protection Plan.

Monitoring policy MP-19 applies.

MP-19: Municipalities shall, by February 15 each year, provide to the local Source Protection Authority a brief summary report for the preceding calendar year that gives information on the activities taken toward implementing the policy.
