The Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA) will provide information on drinking water threats (the transportation of various quantities of organic solvents, dense non-aqueous phase liquids, fuels, pesticides/herbicides and fertilizers) and vulnerable areas (through maps) to various parties and organizations, and encourage them to include this information in their spills response, prevention and/or emergency plans.

The various parties and organizations include municipalities (various departments), Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO), Ministry of Environment (MOE), Hazmat, Environment Canada, railways, Transport Canada, Chemistry Industry Association of Canada, Regional Environmental Emergencies Team (REET), Canadian Coast Guard, Port Authorities, harbours/marinas, ferry operators, Ambassador Bridge authority, local distributors and dispatchers, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and other emergency responders. Information on the drinking water threats and vulnerable areas may also be sent to other relevant parties and organizations that the ERCA may become aware of. The information will assist in responding to spills (such as reporting and containment), and preventing spills on transportation corridors within the Intake Protection Zones in the Essex Region watershed. The information will be sent by the ERCA to the various parties and organizations within 1(one) year of the date of the approval of the Source Protection Plan.

Further, the ERCA will encourage marinas within or near the Intake Protection Zones to refer to best management practices in the Clean Marine Program related to fuel and other relevant substances, and will encourage marinas to participate in the Clean Marine Program.
