To ensure the handling and storage of fuel ceases to be or never becomes a significant drinking water threat, where this activity is or would be a significant drinking water threat, this activity shall be designated for the purpose of Section 58 of the CWA and a Risk Management Plan shall be required where the following apply:
a. any Existing handling and storage of liquid fuel of more than 250 Litres; or
b. any Future handling and storage of liquid fuel of more than 250 and less than 2,500 Litres
This applies in a wellhead protection area where the vulnerability score is 10; for full circumstance details refer to the Technical Rules.
The Risk Management Official shall negotiate or establish a Risk Management Plan with the person engaged in the designated threat activity within three years of the Plan coming into effect. The RMP is to contain, at a minimum, structural or management alterations (if any) which when implemented will ensure that existing operations continue to function, or that decommissioning occurs, in a manner which minimizes the risk to sources of municipal drinking water. Risk Managements Plans should reflect current Ontario Regulations such as, but not limited to, the requirements of the Liquid Fuels Handling Code and/or the Fuel Oil Code.
