Policy Text:

To ensure that any Existing or Future application of road salt ceases to be, or never becomes, a significant drinking water threat, where this activity is, or would be, a significant drinking water threat, the County of Brant will require implementation of a Salt Management Plan with a goal to minimize salt usage through alternative measures while maintaining public safety.

The Salt Management Plan shall include, as a minimum, measures to ensure application rate, timing and location, reduce the potential for salt-related surface water run-off and groundwater infiltration and meet the objectives of Environment Canada’s Code of Practice for Environmental Management of Road Salts including the salt vulnerable area mapping to include areas where significant threats can occur.


Monitoring Text:

BC-CW-1.9: The County shall provide a report to the Source Protection Authority, by February 1st of each year, summarizing the actions taken to implement the Source Protection Plan Policies.

Where the County is required to implement education and outreach programs as the primary means of managing the risk associated with significant drinking water threats, the report must indicate, at minimum, the properties where these programs were

implemented and additional details on how the significant drinking water threat was managed and/or ceased to be significant.
