The proposed Clean Water Act, 2005, Bill 43, was introduced for First Reading on December 5th, 2005. The Bill provides regulation-making authority to the Minister of the Environment (Minister) and the Lieutenant-Governor in Council (LGIC) in a number of areas. It also provides rule making authority to the Director in respect of risk assessments, risk management plans and any matter authorized or required to be included in an assessment report.
The purpose of this document is to provide a description of proposed regulations in respect of various aspects of the source protection planning process and to pose questions for the purpose of soliciting feedback from the public on various policy issues that the regulations will deal with.
This document is the first in a series and will provide information on the first three areas to be addressed in regulations: 1) the establishment of Source Protection Areas / Regions and lead Source Protection Authorities, 2) Source Protection Committees and 3) the Terms of Reference. The descriptions of the additional areas to be addressed in regulations and Director’s rules will be posted on the Environmental Registry in the near future.
