MTO is supportive of considering source water protection during the environmental assessment process for MTO activities to avoid or minimize impacts on source water. The environmental assessment process is an opportune time to include environmental considerations in road design measures as this process is meant to capture, address impacts and prescribe applicable mitigation measures including, but not limited to, those related to source water protection. MTO currently evaluates factors in environmental assessment based on project specifics, including consultation with affected stakeholders as well as Indigenous Communities. Source water protection will be investigated similarly to other factors in environmental assessment.

No snow storage beyond roadside windrows created from plow operations, our vulnerable areas are identified in our salt management plan and call for reduced quantities applied as part of winter operations. City crews give special attention to Salt Vulnerable Areas.
