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 storage of ASM is a significant drinking water threat. This will continue in 2026. In 2025 no existing properties were identified with Storage of ASM as a Significant Drinking Water threat.

Policy Text:

To ensure any existing storage of Agricultural Source Material (ASM) on farms not phased-in under the Nutrient Management Act where such an activity is a significant drinking water threat, ceases to be a significant drinking water threat, this activity is designated for the purpose of Section 58 of the Clean Water Act, 2006 and a Risk Management Plan shall be required.

As a minimum, this Risk Management Plan shall be based upon the regulatory requirements of a Nutrient Management Plan and/or Strategy under the Nutrient Management Act and scoped to address these specific threats.

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.
