The policy applies in all WHPA-A vulnerable areas where the storage of agricultural source material is or would be a significant drinking water threat (existing activity or future activity).

The expansion of an existing permanent nutrient storage facility, or the establishment of a new permanent nutrient storage facility, for agricultural source material shall be prohibited.

The expansion of an existing temporary field nutrient storage site, or the establishment of a new temporary field nutrient storage site, for agricultural source material shall be prohibited.

Therefore, the storage of agricultural source material is designated for the purposes of s.57 of the Clean Water Act.

For clarity, the improvement of an existing permanent nutrient storage facility is allowed where it is determined that such improvements would provide additional measures to protect sources of drinking water.

Any material within temporary field nutrient storage sites existing as of the effective date of the Source Protection Plan shall be removed within 240 days of the effective date of the Source Protection Plan.

As of the effective date of the Source Protection Plan, no new material may be added to a temporary field nutrient storage site existing as of the effective date of the Source Protection Plan.
