What is Prohibition?

Within vulnerable areas for municipal drinking water systems, a Section 59 Notice (S.59) from the Risk Management Official (RMO) is required before the municipality processes an application for a development proposed under the Planning Act, Condominium Act or the Ontario Building Code. Notice from the RMO will identify if the activities related to the proposed development are prohibited under Section 57, whether a Risk Management Plan is required under Section 58, or that no Risk Management Plan is required.
