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:

To ensure any existing combined sewer discharge from a stormwater outlet to surface water where such an activity would be a significant drinking water threat, the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks shall review Environmental Compliance Approvals to ensure that terms and conditions are incorporated that, when implemented the activity shall cease to be a significant drinking water threat.

Monitoring Text:

(CB-CW-1.9): Where the Source Protection Plan policies may result in amendments to Prescribed Instruments or the issuance of a new Prescribed Instrument, the applicable ministry shall provide a summary of any actions taken. The applicable ministry shall provide a written report summarizing this information to the Source Protection Authority by February 1st of each year.
