3 Plan Regulatory background Technical background Match Plan Exploratory program Regional context / Hydrosystem description Field work Pilot test Numerical model Outcomes

4 Regulatory Background Post-Walkerton Effect Environment Quality Act Regulation respecting the Quality of Drinking Water Groundwater Catchment Regulation Directives and Guidelines Province wide Municipal Reorganization (mergers)

5 Technical Background Surface Water Source (lake) + Disinfection Shrinking Water Source Frequent [THM] and Turbidity Non-Compliance

6 Match Plan Ministerial Order New Water Supply (2 concurrent approaches) for the Amalgamated Town Municipality Population 27,000 + Industrial / Commercial / Institutional Current Daily Needs = 14,380 cu.m./day

7 Exploratory Program Phase 1 - Exploration 12 Sectors / Aquifers Preliminary Work: Geophysics, Exploratory Drilling and Aquifer Testing Conclusion: Expand Search Area

8 Exploratory Program Phase 2 - Exploration 5 Sectors/Aquifers Preliminary Work: Geophysics, Exploratory Drilling and Aquifer Testing Conclusion: one Potentially Outstanding Aquifer with High Environmental Impact
