Under Section 27(3) of the Clean Water Act, O. Reg. 287/07, municipalities shall notify the Source Protection Authority (SPA) and the Source Protection Committee (SPC) if a person applies to the municipality for the approval of a proposal to engage in any activity in a Wellhead Protection Area (WHPA) or Intake Protection Zone (IPZ) that may result in the creation of a new transport pathway or the modification of an existing transport pathway. This notice shall include a description of the proposal, the identity of the person responsible for the proposal, and a description of the approvals that are required to engage in the proposed activity. The notification shall be included as part of the existing planning process where possible and the proponent is required to be provided with a copy of the notification. A summary of all such notifications is required to be included as part of the annual reporting requirements identified in policy 5.01.

5.08: Municipalities, 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 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.
