OC-5.09: Ministry of Transportation 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

the monitoring reports. Monitoring reports are to be submitted by
