Water and Erosion Control Infrastructure Operational Plans

Ontario Regulation 686/21 requires that a Conservation Authority (CA) provide programs and services that support the operation, maintenance, repair, and decommissioning of the following types of infrastructure the CA owns or manages:

  • Any water control infrastructure, the purpose of which is to mitigate risks to life and damage to property resulting from flooding or to assist in flow augmentation.
  • Any erosion control infrastructure.

Programs and services provided shall include the development and implementation of an operational plan on or before December 31, 2024.

Some water control infrastructures in the 糖心直播 (UTRCA) watershed are not owned by the CA but are managed through an agreement with the owner. These structures also require operational plans.
