To reduce the risk to municipal drinking water sources from existing sewage storage in vulnerable areas where it is a significant drinking water threat, the Province (Ministry of Environment) shall review and, where necessary, amend Environmental Compliance Approvals (ECA) to incorporate terms and conditions. These terms and conditions, when implemented, shall manage this activity so that it ceases to 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 February1 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.
