Guideline B-7: Incorporation of the Reasonable Use Concept into MOEE Groundwater Management Activities
Description: This guideline establishes the basis for determining the "reasonable use" of groundwater on property adjacent to sources of contaminants and for determining the levels of contaminant discharges considered acceptable by the Ministry. The guideline is designed to facilitate implementation of the groundwater quality management directions contained in Procedure B-1-1: "Water Management -- Guidelines and Procedures of the Ministry of Environment and Energy," which are predicated on the protection of existing and potential reasonable uses of water. The reasonable use concept, in this context, applies only to groundwater quality management.
