Policy Text:

To reduce the risk to municipal drinking water sources from the future handling and storage of non-agricultural source material (NASM) where NASM would be stored in a nutrient storage facility as defined under the Nutrient Management Act (NMA), this activity shall be prohibited where it would be a significant drinking water threat.

This activity shall be designated for the purposes of Section 57 of the Clean Water Act so that the activity never becomes a significant drinking water threat.

Any Prescribed Instrument related to future NASM Storage that is created shall be consistent with this policy.
