Where a source protection plan policy outcome is to manage a significant threat to drinking water sources through the prescribed instrument for sewage works, the ministry is meeting the policy’s obligations by including design and operational measures in an Environmental Compliance Approval. To assist in the implementation of this approach, anyone subject to policy requiring management of a significant drinking water threat is required to include in their application a description of the measures necessary to protect drinking water and submit a ‘Source Protection Supplementary Report’ to outline how the activity for the sewage works will be managed so that the activity will not become a significant drinking water threat.

Policy Text:

In reviewing applications for Environmental Compliance Approvals (Certificates of Approval) under the legislation governing this activity, for in the Windsor IPZ-1, the Ministry of Environment shall allow the establishment of systems that store combined storm water and sewage, where such systems are specifically for the purpose of reducing combined sewer overflow.

The Environmental Compliance Approval (Certificate of Approval) shall require that, through terms and conditions specified in the Environmental Compliance Approval (Certificate of Approval), the future storage of stormwater and sewage is managed in order to protect sources of drinking water.

The above applies to the future significant threat of the storage of sewage, in the vulnerable areas mentioned above.

The date of compliance for future threats is when Source Protection Plan takes effect.

Monitoring Text:

(W1-Storage-2):The MOE shall prepare and submit a report to the Source Protection Authority which summarizes the actions taken to comply with policy W1-storage-1 (Prescribed Instrument).

The above applies to the future significant threat of the storage of sewage, in the vulnerable areas:
Windsor IPZ-1.

The date of compliance is by February 1 of each year.
