Organizations including but not limited to Municipalities and Conservation Authorities, in collaboration with the Province (Ministry of Environment) and other bodies where possible, shall consider supporting existing incentive programs and/or where deemed necessary or appropriate, support the development and implementation of new incentive programs directed at existing significant drinking water threats with a priority on existing threats contributing to an issue.

Such incentive programs may include, but not necessarily be limited to, assisting with the costs of implementing risk mitigation practices and transport pathway maintenance and decommissioning and shall be subject to available funding.

Incentives shall only be considered for existing significant drinking water threats as prescribed in O. Reg. 287/07. However, incentives shall not be considered for the application of untreated septage; the storage of mine tailings; the application of non-agricultural source material (NASM); the handling and storage of NASM; and the management of runoff that contains chemicals used in the de-icing of aircraft.

Protection Authority. The information submitted to the Source Protection
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
