The transportation of fuel and nitrogen based fertilizer along provincial highways, county and local roads, railways, waterways and the transportation of liquid petroleum products through pipelines have been identified as local threats in some IPZ-1, 2 and 3s where event based modelling has been undertaken. Where these local threats have been identified as significant drinking water threats in the Assessment Report, the Province (Ministry of Transportation) in consultation with municipalities and relevant police services, shall consider source protection information as a criterion when establishing and reviewing Emergency Detour Routes.
