Town of Innisfil Official PlanENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTPolicies:4.1.1 Areas of significant groundwater recharge shall be protected to ensure the ecologicaland hydrological integrity of the watershed. Areas of potential major groundwaterrecharge are schematically delineated in Appendix 5.4.1.2 An aquifer can be easily changed or affected by contamination from both humanactivities and natural processes. Areas of high aquifer vulnerability have been mappedvia the South Simcoe Groundwater Study and will be refined through Source WaterProtection planning. In the interim, the storage of materials set out in Policy 4.2.1 forWellhead Protection Areas shall also be prohibited in Areas of High Aquifer Vulnerability.4.1.3 The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Area has identified the sand and gravel depositsin the vicinity of the 10 th Side Road and Lovers Creek as a hydrogeologically significantarea. This area is delineated in Appendix 6.4.1.4 Areas of groundwater discharge are also found within the Town generally through themiddle area of the Town corresponding to the glacial meltwater channel now occupiedby Lovers Creek to the north and Innisfil Creek to the south. Other areas of groundwaterdischarge occur along the shoreline of Lake Simcoe and Cooks Bay in the vicinity of theOld Lake Algonquin Shoreline. Groundwater discharge is important to stream baseflowand fish habitat. Areas of potential groundwater discharge have been mapped in theSouth Simcoe Groundwater Study and are schematically delineated in Appendix 7.4.1.5 Areas of significant groundwater recharge and discharge can have implications fordevelopment. However, the scale of mapping available makes it difficult to quantify thesignificance of the recharge or discharge function in these areas and the implications fordevelopment. As such, more detailed study shall be required through secondary planstudies and prior to approval of any site specific applications to identify and refinegroundwater recharge /discharge areas and areas of high aquifer vulnerability, to assessimpact from development and to protect the hydrological integrity of significantgroundwater recharge and discharge functions.4.1.6 The hydrogeological studies required in Section 4.1.5 above shall: characterize groundwater system , (i.e., stratigraphy, aquifer zones, groundwaterflow, vertical hydraulic gradients, etc.); characterize shallow soils hydraulic conductivity and infiltration potential, characterize sensitivity to contamination; define recharge/discharge conditions; identify groundwater /surface water interactions (i.e. cold water fisheries, wetlands,ponds fed by groundwater); define the influence boundaries; assess impact of proposed site development with water balance analysis (i.e. preandpost-development scenarios); and evaluate mitigation options and provide recommendations for preferred mitigationoptions.4.1.7 The hydrogeological studies completed at a secondary plan stage shall assess thesensitivities of an area, identify critical areas, define the influence boundaries, ensure thehydrological integrity of the areas are protected, provide recommendations for mitigation87Adopted July 26, 2006 Approved by OMB May 2009, March 2010 & April 8, 2011
Town of Innisfil Official PlanENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTmeasures, set out policies on permitted uses or lot restrictions and identify criteria toassess subsequent applications. Where applicable, water balances will be provided todemonstrate that wetland features can be maintained or improved. A subsequent studyshall be required in support of a development application to refine the impactassessment with more detailed recommendations for site design and mitigationmeasures. Such studies shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Town in consultationwith the applicable conservation authority.4.2 WELLHEAD PROTECTION AREASIntent:Wellhead Protection Areas were defined in the South Simcoe Groundwater Study(2003). The study identified areas around municipal wells susceptible to ground watercontamination. The direction and travel time of groundwater flow were mapped aroundeach municipal well using concentric rings representing between 50 days and 25 yearsof groundwater travel times through the aquifer to the wellhead. These rings estimatethe time of travel of the groundwater to the municipal wells. These well head protectionareas are schematically delineated in Appendix 8. However, the areas identified aswellhead protection areas could change due to future refinement of our understanding ofthe groundwater flow regime.Policies:4.2.1 Animal agriculture shall be prohibited within the 50 day travel time zone or within 100metres of the well, whichever is greater, delineated in Appendix 8, and the storage of thefollowing materials shall be prohibited within the 2 year travel time zones: animal manure, petroleum fuels, petroleum solvents and chlorinated solvents, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, construction equipment, inorganic fertilizers, road salt, and contaminants listed in Schedule 3 (Severely Toxic Contaminants) to Regulation 347of the Revised Regulations of Ontario, 1990.4.2.2 Within the 25 year travel time zone, studies of potential risk and means for mitigation willbe required before any of the uses outlined in Section 4.2.1 or other industrial uses arepermitted.4.2.3 The implementing zoning by-law shall contain an overlay zone which prohibits the usesset out in policy 4.2.1 within the respective travel time zones.4.3 INTAKE PROTECTION ZONE88Adopted July 26, 2006 Approved by OMB May 2009, March 2010 & April 8, 2011
