Implemented
Based on criteria, the prescribed instrument application may be flagged for a more detailed ‘secondary screening’ to determine if the activity associated with the application is a significant drinking water threat. If yes, the appropriate standard operating policy is applied. As legally required, where a source protection policy that relies on a prescribed instrument to prohibit an activity that is a significant drinking water threat, the ministry is conforming to the policy by refusing to issue an instrument for the activity.
Policy Text:
For those lands located within a wellhead protection area where the vulnerability score is 8, future sewage systems or sewage works where they would be a significant drinking water threat will not be permitted. This includes, for example, but is not limited to the following (for full circumstance details refer to the MOE Tables of Circumstances):
* a below grade or partially below grade sewage treatment tank or sewage holding tank that is part of a wastewater collection facility or wastewater treatment facility which is designed to discharge treated sanitary sewage at an average daily rate of more than 50,000 cubic metres and where a spill may result in the release of a vinyl chloride or a DNAPL that could degrade to a vinyl chloride.
