Comment
The attached letter details our comments. Key highlights include:
- recommend peer review of technical assessment by a qualified third party and stakeholder engagement including source water protection authority and municipality;
- questions surrounding this proposal's alignment with the upcoming amendments to O. Reg. 287/07 under the Clean Water Act;
- recommend robust oversight measures to ensure ongoing protection of drinking water sources and enforcement of the ministry's mandate under EASR.
The proposed changes should not compromise the integrity of the source protection planning framework. If this proposal is implemented, enhanced review mechanisms, stakeholder engagement, ongoing evaluation of effectiveness, and regulatory clarity will be key to ensuring that requirements and commitments are met.
