The pesticide policy required a one-time communication to one local industry (Vale Ltd.) in a vulnerable area on the application of Glyphosate only for vegetation management along hydro transmission lines. A letter was sent to Vale, Sudbury Operations in September of 2015 and copies were previously provided to the GSSPA. The target audience for this policy was reached with the desired outcome.

Policy Text:

The City of Greater Sudbury shall inform applicable property owners that the application of glyphosate to land could be a significant threat in an IPZ-1 with a vulnerability score of 10. The education and outreach program will encourage property owners to avoid applying glyphosate and provide them with a list of safer alternatives. This education and outreach policy requires a one-time communication - it is not an ongoing, annual requirement.

Monitoring policy M16 applies.

Monitoring Text:

M16: The City of Greater Sudbury shall provide a copy of the required communications to the Source Protection Authority.
