1)For the SDWT activities that are to be managed through EASR, the SPC should have the ability to introduce Part IV policies to manage these activities, as the EASR is not a PI. There are several activities that are now being managed through EASR , that are no longer subject to a PI, which would still be considered a significant drinking water threat (i.e. water taking threats – dewatering and foundation drainage) and sewage(SWM) threats. Will the SPC/SPA be able to introduce part IV policies for these threat activities in the SPP, given that EASRs are not considered PIs?
2)There are some waste activities identified as significant threats that are not addressed through PIs, will the SPC still be able to include part IV policies to deal with these activities?
3) It is difficult to provide comment on the appropriateness of standardized wording for PI policies , when the proposed wording is not being shared. Of particular concern to the Municipality of Orangeville is the requirements that will be introduced for PTTW PIs, due to the water quantity protection area (WHPA-Q1/Q2) delineated for the Orangeville well system. The Town would like the opportunity to provide further input into the standardized language for PTTW PIs, where new water takings would be identified as a significant threat due to the significant risk of our drinking water system.
