Policy Text
Where a policy in this plan refers to an ""existing ; threat, it is generally understood to mean an activity that commenced or has been engaged in at some time within the last 10 years or up until the day before the source protection plan comes into effect. A ""future ; threat activity is generally understood to mean an activity that commences on a day on or after the day the source protection plan comes into effect.
However, despite these definitions, in order to be fair to bona fide applications in process and to recognize approvals obtained, it is important to allow certain ""future ; prohibited activities to be treated as ""existing ; activities and therefore subject to the policies that apply to ""existing ; activities.
Where a policy in this Plan prohibits a ""future ; threat activity, the policy for managing ""existing ; drinking water threat activities applies in the following cases even though those activities will commence after the source protection plan comes into effect:
A drinking water threat activity that is related to a development proposal where an application was made or an approval was obtained under the Planning Act or Condominium Act on a day before the source protection plan comes into effect. The policy for ""existing ; drinking water threats also applies to any further applications required under the Planning Act, Condominium Act, or prescribed instruments, to implement the development proposal.
A drinking water threat activity that is related to an application made under the Building Code Act on a day before the source protection plan comes into effect.
A drinking water threat activity that is related to an application made for the issuance or amendment of a prescribed instrument on a day before the source protection plan comes into effect.
