Policy Text:

To ensure the existing and future handling and storage of a dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPLs) and/or an organic solvent cease to be or never become significant drinking water threats, where these activities are, or would be, significant drinking water threats, the Townships with the assistance of the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks should develop and produce an education and outreach program for municipal delivery targeted towards:

a) an individual for personal or family use to promote the use of non-toxic products and additional opportunities for participation in household hazardous waste disposal.
b) industrial and commercial users to promote the use of alternatives to DNAPLs (including non-toxic products), pollution prevention approaches, Best Management Practices, and safe disposal in industries.

Monitoring Text:

DC-AEG-CW-1.8: Where the Townships are required to implement education and outreach programs as the primary means of managing the risk associated with significant drinking water threats, the Townships shall provide a report to the Source Protection Authority by February 1st of each year, in accordance with the Clean Water Act, 2006. This report must indicate, at a minimum, the properties where these programs were implemented and additional details on measures implemented to ensure the significant drinking water threats cease to be or never become a significant drinking water threat.
