Policy Text:
The following activities are designated for the purpose of Section 58 'Risk Management Plans' of the Clean Water Act in the Windsor IPZ-2, in those cases in which the activity is not subject to Provincial Instrument: the future storage of non agricultural source material (NASM) such that:
the NASM (no volume threshold) contains material generated by a meat plant (e.g. slaughter plant, meat packaging, defined as per O. Reg. 31/05 under the Food Safety and Quality Act) when any portion of NASM is stored at or above grade, and a spill or runoff could result in pathogen/s in the surface water.
The Risk Management Plan will include the requirements of a NASM plan as per the Nutrient Management Act, for the storage of NASM. Therefore the Risk Management Official (RMO) will obtain documentation from the owner of the facility that demonstrates that the requirements of a NASM plan are met. The RMO will ensure that the owner has the risk management plan prepared by someone certified to develop a NASM plan that meets the requirements of Reg. 267/03.
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 storage of NASM. The Risk Management Official will have discretion as to what constitutes a satisfactory Risk Management Plan.
The above applies to the future significant threat of the storage of Non Agricultural Source Material (NASM), in the vulnerable area:
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 takes effect.
