Policy Text:

To reduce the risk to municipal drinking water sources from activities subject to an environmental assessment (EA) in areas where the activity would be a significant, moderate or low drinking water threat the Conservation Authorities (CAs) should:

* review EA documentation when circulated by the proponent;
* provide available Source Protection information; and
* request Source Protection Planning information (including an assessment of risks for the proposed and preferred alternatives) be included in the EA.

Participation in this program by the CAs will be contingent on funding and municipal support of the CA involvement in this program.
