The draft amendments include new technical work and maps for Ripley in the Township of Huron-Kinloss to delineate wellhead protection areas around two new wells in the community. It also includes an adjustment to the Point Clark Wellhead Protection Area as a result of a new replacement well that was drilled next to the existing well building.
