To ensure that any Existing or Future onsite sewage works with a design flow of greater than 10,000 Litres per day and regulated under the Ontario Water Resources Act, 1990 cease to be, or never become, significant drinking water threats, where these activities are, or would be, significant drinking water threats, the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks shall prepare or review and, if necessary, amend Environmental Compliance Approvals to incorporate appropriate terms and conditions.

The terms and conditions may include, as appropriate, requirements for the proponent/applicant to undertake mandatory monitoring of groundwater impacts, contingencies in the event that drinking water quality is adversely affected, regular and ongoing compliance monitoring, mandatory system inspections at least every five (5) years, and upgrading of these septic systems to current standards, if necessary. In addition, the terms and conditions may include the proponent/applicant to provide annual reporting to the Source Protection Authority and County of any monitoring and inspection programs required and their results.

(BC-CW-1.12): Where the Source Protection Plan policies may result in amendments to Prescribed Instruments or the issuance of a new Prescribed Instrument, the applicable ministry shall provide a summary of any 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.
