Policy Text:

The Risk Management Official may require additional conditions in the Risk Management Plan, to be met such that water bodies are protected adequately from the application of NASM. The Risk Management Official will have discretion as to what constitutes a satisfactory Risk Management Plan.

- Windsor IPZ-2
For future threats, the date of compliance is when the Source Protection Plan takes effect.
For existing threats, the Risk Management Official shall comply with the policy within 5 years from the date the Plan the Plan takes effect.
