To reduce the risk to municipal drinking water sources from the storage of snow in aggregate operations, the Province (Ministry of Natural Resources) shall include conditions on Aggregate Permits and site plan approvals under the Aggregate Resources Act. Where it could be a significant drinking water threat (existing), site plans should be reviewed to ensure that they are consistent with Aggregate Resources Policy A.R.5.00.14; and where it would be a significant drinking water threat (future), that Aggregate Resources Policy A.R.5.00.14 continue to apply for the approval of future sites.

(5.05) Ministry of Natural Resources, 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. Monitoring reports are to be submitted by February 1 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.
