Implemented

The ministry continues to identify and review existing Environmental Compliance Approvals as a result of source protection plan amendments on an annual basis. For those existing instruments that are screened by the Ministry and subject to existing threat prescribed instrument policies, the existing instruments will be reviewed to determine if the Standard Operating Policy can be applied or if amendments are needed to protect municipal drinking water sources.

Policy Text:

Within three years of the Plan coming into effect the MECP shall review and amend as required all existing Environmental Compliance Approvals issued for sewage systems and sewage works where they are a significant drinking water threat. For full circumstance details refer to the Tables of Drinking Water Threats in the Technical Rules.
The Environmental Compliance Approval shall include terms and conditions which when implemented will adequately manage the risk to sources of municipal drinking water.
