[All] GREN comments on proposed Grand River Source Water Protection Plan

[John Jackson]

On Wednesday, GREN submitted our comments on the proposed Source Water
Protection Plan. The Source Water Protection Plans, which are being
developed throughout the province, are a requirement that the provincial
government set up to avoid future Walkerton tragedies.

Our comments on the Grand River Plan were divided into three main topics:
A. The introduction to the report acknowledges the need ³to protect current
and future sources of drinking water², yet the Plan fails to assess
additional drinking water sources that may be needed by the community;
B. The Plan falls short on assessing future threats, new threats or
escalated threats that would necessitate additional sources of drinking
water; and
C. Some recommendations are inadequate to protect drinking water resources
due to weak language.
