A rural property lies in an area where the local source protection plan under the Clean Water Act, 2006 designates a land use as restricted under s. 59. The buyer plans to construct a building for that use. What must the buyer obtain before building?

Correct Answer

B) A notice issued by the risk management official under s. 59(2)

Section 59(1) of the Clean Water Act, 2006 provides that where a source protection plan designates a restricted land use and area, a person may not make a prescribed Planning Act application for that use, or construct or change the use of a building for it, unless the risk management official issues a notice under s. 59(2). The official issues the notice on application only if the statutory conditions are met.

Answer Options
A
Nothing more, since a building permit alone satisfies source protection rules
B
A notice issued by the risk management official under s. 59(2)
C
Written consent from every neighbouring owner who draws well water
D
An environmental compliance approval from the Ministry of the Environment, renewed every five years
