Long Point - Assessment Report

The Long Point Region Assessment Report is the technical foundation for the Long Point Region Source Protection Plan. It makes up Appendix B of the plan.

The Assessment Report:

• describes the Long Point Region watershed,
• identifies the vulnerable areas related to drinking water sources,
• identifies the types and number of threats to water quality and quantity, and
• ranks the potential threats as low, moderate or significant.

The Tables of Drinking Water Threats, issued by the Ontario government, was used to identify and rank threats.
