The Salt Management Plan shall include, as a minimum, measures to ensure application rate, timing and location to reduce the potential for salt-related surface water run-off and groundwater infiltration and meet the objectives of Environment Canada's Code of Practice for Environmental Management of Road Salts including the salt vulnerable area mapping to include areas where significant threats can occur.

All locations for Salt Management Plans for existing activities shall be inventoried within three years and plans established within five years of the amendment to the Source Protection Plan taking effect
