Policy Text:

To reduce the risk to municipal drinking water sources from the handling and storage of dense non-aqueous phase liquids in concentrations typical of household use, where this activity is, or would be, a significant drinking water threat, municipalities, in collaboration with the Conservation Authority, the Ministry of Environment, and/or wherever possible other bodies, shall develop and implement an education and outreach program directed at the owners and/or occupants of such properties.

The program may include, but not necessarily be limited to, the provision of education material and information about the nature of the threat, how DNAPLs can be identified and handled and disposed of in a manner so that the activity would cease to be or never become a significant drinking water threat. This policy shall be initiated within one (1) year of the effective date of the Source Protection Plan.
