Future industrial effluent discharges shall be prohibited so that this activity never becomes a significant drinking water threat. The Province (Ministry of Environment), through the Environmental Compliance Approvals (ECA) process shall prohibit this activity in vulnerable areas where it would be a significant drinking water threat.

(5.04) Ministry of Environment, and all other implementers, shall establish monitoring programs as per Section 45 of the Clean Water Act. The information collected through these monitoring programs shall be included in a monitoring report that shall be submitted annually to the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority. The information submitted to the Conservation Authority shall be consistent with the guidance developed pursuant to policy 5.02 where that guidance identifies items required to
meet provincial reporting requirements of the implementer or SPA.

Aspects of the guidance which are beyond that which is necessary to satisfy provincial reporting requirements shall be considered in submitting
the monitoring reports. Monitoring reports are to be submitted by February 1 of each year following the first anniversary of the effective date of the
Source Protection Plan. Monitoring reports shall include information since the submission of the previous monitoring report to December 31 of the
year previous to the deadline for report submission. For the first report, the information shall include information from the effective date of the Source
Protection Plan.
