Policy Text:

To reduce the risk to municipal drinking water sources from the existing handling and storage of fuel, this activity shall be managed where it is a significant drinking water threat.

This activity shall be designated for the purposes of Section 58 of the Clean Water Act and a Risk Management Plan shall be required. The Risk Management Official must be satisfied that the Risk Management Plan will adequately manage the activity so that it ceases to be a significant drinking water threat. Where, in the opinion of the Risk Management Official, a future expansion of a facility handling and storing fuel is of such size that it cannot be managed, the Risk Management Plan may restrict the size so that the activity ceases to be a significant drinking water threat.

This policy shall not apply to the storage of fuel for use in back-up generators for Water Works.
