Policy TP-1 is not a legally binding policy and as such as not been a top priority to date. The policy will continue to be considered in future work plans as resourcing (financial and staff) are available.

The Severn Sound Source Protection Authority, in collaboration with the Township of Tiny, shall undertake an education and outreach program to inform the owners and operators of transport pathways within the Georgian Sands Issue Contributing Area for Nitrate about the following:

1) The potential for the transport pathway to endanger the municipal water supply
2) Best management practices for upgrading transport pathways to minimize the potential for impacts to the water supply; and
3) For wells subject to O.Reg 903 of the Ontario Water Resources Act, their legal obligations with respect to well construction, maintenance, and abandonment.

Monitoring Text:

MON-5: The local source protection authority shall include in the annual report, documentation on the risk reduction efforts they administered throughout the year.
