Where an existing or future activity in a WHPA Q1 identified as having a significant or moderate risk level takes water from an aquifer without returning the water to the same aquifer, and is a significant drinking water threat, the MOE shall ensure that the Permit to Take Water that governs the water taking includes appropriate terms and conditions to ensure that:

1) municipal water supply requirements will be met on a sustainable basis
2) the water taking will not affect the ability of the aquifer to meet municipal water supply requirements, and
3) hydrological integrity is not adversely affected, and that the activity ceases to be or does not become a significant drinking water threat.

MON-2: By February 1 of each year, the MOE shall report to the local source protection authority on the steps taken in the previous calendar year to implement these significant threat policies, and recommendations, where appropriate.
