As the Source Protection Planning Process progresses, the Ontario Drinking Water Stewardship Program must change to align and adapt to its needs. In the third and fourth year of the stewardship program, the assessment reports will be completed, identifying who may be affected and what activities may be a threat.

Interim risk management plans may be put into effect during this period, with associated costs to landowners for implementation and Source Protection Plans will begin to be developed.

Education and outreach programs during this period could play an important role in ensuring stakeholders are engaged in the preparation of assessment reports and source protection plans.

We want your views on how the program scope and delivery model should change through the third and fourth funding years (2009-10 to 2010-11).

Please see our Downloads section for the form.  Feel free to provide any additional comments that you have on the discussions that have taken place in the form as well. All comments are welcome and appreciated.
