Based on criteria, the prescribed instrument application may be flagged for a more detailed ‘secondary screening’ to determine if the activity associated with the application is a significant drinking water threat. If yes, the appropriate standard operating policy is applied. As legally required, where a source protection policy that relies on a prescribed instrument to prohibit an activity that is a significant drinking water threat, the ministry is conforming to the policy by refusing to issue an instrument for the activity.

Policy Text:

To ensure any future combined sewer discharge from a stormwater outlet to surface water where such an activity would be a significant drinking water threat, never becomes a significant drinking water threat; the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks shall prohibit these activities within the Environmental Compliance Approvals process.

Monitoring Text:

(CB-CW-1.10): Where the Source Protection Plan policies prohibit an activity that results in a denial of a Prescribed Instrument, the applicable ministry shall summarize the actions taken the previous year to implement the policies and provide a written report summarizing this information to the Source Protection Authority by February 1st of each year.
