4) Any other measure deemed necessary to reduce the risk of a release to the environment;
5) The timing of plan implementation;
6) Monitoring and reporting;
7) A reference to Section 60 of Ontario Regulation 287/07 indicating the Plan may not be transferred to another person without the written consent of the risk management official.

- IPZ 1 and 2 (vulnerability score of 9) - Belleville (IPZ 1), Deseronto (IPZ 1), Napanee (IPZ 1) and Picton (IPZ 2).
