Section 58 Risk Management Plans

In progress/some progress made

The City of Brantford Source Protection Plan underwent a Section 34 amendment in 2025 (approved July 2025). Policies were updated and circumstances under the 2021 Technical Rules are now used for the City of Brantford's IPZ (not yet the Ohsweken IPZ as this requires the Section 36 update planned in the future). Threat verification visits and re-assessment of properties in 2025 were initiated to identify properties where existing handling and storage of fuel is a significant drinking water threat. This will continue in 2026. In 2025, 2 properties were identified with Fuel Handling and Storage as a Significant Drinking Water threat. Draft RMPs are currently undergoing negotiations to manage these drinking water threats.

Policy Text:

To ensure any existing handling and storage of fuel greater than 2,500 Litres, where such an activity is or would be a significant drinking water threat, ceases to be a significant drinking water threat, this activity is designated for the purposes of Section 58 of the Clean Water Act, 2006 and a Risk Management Plan shall be required.

The Risk Management Plan shall include the requirements for all storage tanks to comply with the requirements of the Technical Standards and Safety Act and its regulations, for all owners/operators to have an emergency response plan with emergency contact information of the municipality responsible for water services and the Spills Action Centre, and for the owner/operator to call both agencies in the case of a release of fuel.

Monitoring Text:

CB-CW-1.8: The Risk Management Official shall provide a report to the Source Protection Authority, by February 1st of each year, summarizing the actions taken by the Risk Management Official to implement the Source Protection Plan policies, in accordance with the Clean Water Act, 2006 and associated regulations.
