The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks is strongly encouraged to undertake an updated risk-based program analysis of the compliance program associated with the Wells Regulation 903 as amended, made under the Ontario Water Resources Act.

The program analysis should consider:
· Increased MOE field presence with well contractors;
· Complaint response prioritization where the presence of a transport pathway would endanger sources of municipal drinking water; and
· Focusing resources in areas where improperly constructed maintained or abandoned wells may increase the potential threat to municipal drinking water sources.

This policy complements Policy G-4-F.
Applicable Areas:
- WHPA B, C and D – Deloro, Madoc, Peats Point, Point Anne (WHPA B and C only) and Tweed.

Effective Date: When the Plan, or any plan amendment, as applicable, takes effect.

The Ministry shall prepare an annual summary of the actions it has taken to achieve the outcomes of this Source Protection Plan policy and make that report available to the Quinte Source Protection Authority February 1st each year. It is recommended the report include the number of inspections conducted, deficiencies found and remedial measures taken during the previous calendar year.
