The City of Greater Sudbury shall incorporate into its official plan policies related to reducing stormwater runoff volume and pollutant loadings from developments in the vulnerable areas where stormwater management facilities could be a significant threat.

These policies shall:

Encourage implementation of a hierarchy of source, lot-level, conveyance and end-of-pipe controls;
Encourage the implementation of innovative stormwater management measures;
Consider flexibility in development standards to incorporate alternative community design and stormwwater techniques, such as those related to site plan design, lot grading, ditches and curbing, drive way surfaces, and the use of open space as temporary detention ponds; and
Support implementation of source control programs, which are targeted to existing areas that lack adequate stormwater controls.

Monitoring policy M3 applies.

M3: By February 1 of each year, the local planning authority (the City of Greater Sudbury) shall report to the Source Protection Authority on the steps it has taken in the previous calendar year to implement the policies set out in the Source Protection Plan and its decisions under the Planning Act and the Condominium Act.
