The existing handling and storage of road salt is designated for the purpose of s. 58 requiring Risk Management Plans in the vulnerable areas where the activity is a significant threat. In the Ramsey Lake Issue Contributing Area, this policy applies to 0.5 tonnes of road salt and greater.

The risk management plan shall require at a minimum that a permanent structure be constructed to house the salt and/or sand/salt mixture. The structure will be constructed on an impermeable pad and drainage will either be treated (e.g. collected and transferred to an appropriate treatment facility) or directed to flow away from sources of municipal drinking water. If excess outdoor storage space is required, the sand/salt will be stored on an impermeable pad, covered by a tarp, and drainage will either be treated or redirected to flow away from sources of municipal drinking water. Expansions to existing activities are permitted provided that the activity can be adequately managed.

All land uses except residential in the City of Greater Sudbury Zoning By-Law 2010-100Z are designated for the purpose of Section 59 of the Clean Water Act in the vulnerable areas where the handling and storage of road salt could be a significant threat.

Monitoring policy M2 applies.

M2: By February 1 of each year, risk management officials shall report annually to the Source Protection Authority with the information required in section 65 of Regulation 287/07 related to the previous calendar year.
