The policy applies in all vulnerable areas where the handling and storage of an organic solvent is a significant drinking water threat (existing activity).

1) product handling
2) product storage
3) record keeping
4) disposal methods
5) spills response plan.

The Risk Management Plan shall be renewed every five years or at the discretion of the Risk Management Official.
All locations for Risk Management Plans for existing activities shall be inventoried within three years and plans established with five years of the effective date of the Source Protection Plan.
