The Province is leading this
work, and it is being done in concert with the Master
Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP). The water
balance study provides important background information
for the MESP.
More specifically, the
study shall address the following matters:
- Quantification of
the sensitivity of the affected aquifers, aquitards,
and groundwater-fed wetlands and streams, in
relation to proposed land use change;
- Identification of
the relationship between land use changes, and local
and regional ground water recharge dynamics and path
flow regime;
- Where necessary,
provision for the mitigation of potential
development impacts on private wells, groundwater
flows, and steam and wetland water quality and
quantity through the establishment of quantitative
and/or qualitative hydrogeological targets or
performance standards; and
- Where necessary,
identification of requirements for the on-going
monitoring of groundwater conditions and contingency
strategies for mitigating negative impacts that may
be identified over time.
