Policy Text:
The City of Windsor will continue to meet the requirements of the Environmental Compliance Approval (Certificate of Approval) (or any updates or replacements to it) under the Ontario Water Resources Act for the Little River Pollution Control Plant (LRPCP) and continue its current monitoring scheme which includes the testing of mercury and PCBs in the raw wastewater and E. coli in the bypass. The City of Windsor will also give due consideration to the reduction of the frequency and volumes of bypasses through sewer separation and downspout disconnection programs, and other such measures while developing plans or strategies to manage storm water and sewers. The City of Windsor will initiate the development of plans or strategies, to manage storm water and sewers, when the Source Protection Plan takes effect.
The above applies to the existing and future significant threat of sewage treatment plant bypass discharge to surface water, in the vulnerable area:
