Applicable Activities: The application of pesticide to land is an existing significant drinking water threat (see Table 4.6) and the activity requires a Pesticide Permit under the Pesticides Act.

*In addition to the coloured areas shown above, this policy also applies in the yellow-coloured area on the Frankford policy applicability map for the application of pesticide on an area greater than 10 hectares that may result in the presence of MCPA (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid) in groundwater or surface water.

A-3: Review all existing Pesticide Permits related to the activity to determine if they are adequate to ensure that the associated activities are not significant drinking water threats. If they are deemed to be inadequate for this purpose, they will be amended to include additional conditions that will ensure that the activities cease to be significant drinking water threats. All amendments required by this policy must be carried out within three years from the date that the plan takes effect or such other date as the applicable Director determines based on a prioritized review of Prescribed Instruments that govern the activity.
