Source Protection Plan

 

Source Protection Plans will contain a combination of voluntary and mandatory policies to protect drinking water sources. Plans must set out:

  • Policies to mitigate, reduce or prevent significant threats;
  • Policies to prevent low or moderate threats from becoming significant;
  • Who is responsible for taking action;
  • Timelines; and
  • How progress will be measured.

The Plan will propose a range of tools that can be used to accomplish these goals.

Source Protection Plans must be submitted to the Province for review and approval by August 2012. Source Protection Committees will work closely with municipalities to draft Plans with lots of input from the public and stakeholders.
