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

Policy Text:

To ensure the existing handling and storage of commercial fertilizer never becomes a significant drinking water threat, within Intake Protection Zone 1, where such an activity is or would be a significant drinking water threat, these activities are designated for the purposes of Section 58 of the Clean Water Act, 2006 and a Risk Management Plan shall be required.

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.
