CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999

Guidelines for Canadian Recreational Water Quality: Physical, Aesthetic and Chemical Characteristics

Pursuant to subsection 55(3) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the Minister of Health hereby gives notice of the final Guidelines for Canadian Recreational Water Quality: Physical, Aesthetic and Chemical Characteristics. The technical document for these guidelines is available on the Water Quality website. This document underwent a public consultation period of 60 days in 2021 and was updated taking into consideration the comments received.

On behalf of the Minister of Health

ANNEX

Foreword

The Guidelines for Canadian Recreational Water Quality are comprised of multiple guideline technical documents that consider the various factors that could interfere with the safety of recreational waters from a human health perspective. They provide guideline values for specific parameters used to monitor water quality hazards and recommend science-based monitoring and risk management strategies. Recreational waters are considered to be any natural fresh, marine or estuarine bodies of water that are used for recreational purposes; this includes lakes, rivers, and human-made constructions (e.g. quarries, artificial lakes) that are filled with untreated natural waters. Jurisdictions may choose to apply these guidelines to other natural waters for which limited treatment is being employed (e.g. short-term application of disinfection for an athletic event). Recreational activities that could present a human health risk through intentional or incidental immersion and ingestion include primary contact activities (e.g. swimming, bathing, wading, windsurfing and waterskiing) and secondary contact activities (e.g. canoeing and fishing).

Each guideline technical document has been established based on current, published scientific research related to health effects, aesthetic effects, and beach management considerations. Recreational water quality generally falls under provincial and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore the policies and approaches will vary between jurisdictions. The guideline technical documents are intended to guide decisions by provincial and local authorities that are responsible for the management of recreational waters. For a complete list of the guideline technical documents available, please refer to the Guidelines for Canadian Recreational Water Quality summary document available on the Health Canada website.

Guidelines

The following physical and aesthetic parameters can be used to help determine the overall quality of a recreational area:

pH values should range from 5.0 to 11.0, to avoid skin and eye irritation.
Waters should be clear enough to allow users to estimate depth and to see hazards.
Time-temperature combinations which appreciably increase or decrease core body temperature should be avoided.
Low oxygen conditions may cause water quality issues.
Turbidity values below 50 nephelometric turbidity units are preferred.
Colour should not be so intense as to impede visibility in areas used for primary contact activities.
Recreational bathing areas should be free from floating debris and materials that will settle to form objectionable deposits.
Oil, grease and petrochemicals should not be concentrated enough to form an extensive visible film, sheen or discolouration on the surface or be detectable by sight or odour on shorelines and bottom sediments.

Physical, aesthetic and chemical characteristics of recreational areas

The document outlines the physical, aesthetic and chemical characteristics of the water and surrounding beach area that may affect their suitability for recreational activities. Guideline values or aesthetic objectives are recommended where possible. The values and associated guidance are intended to be applicable to all recreational waters, regardless of the types of activities practised. Responsible authorities may, at their discretion, wish to establish separate guideline values or aesthetic objectives for waters intended for secondary contact use. The division of duties (e.g. responsibility for monitoring or the communication of results) between the provincial or territorial authorities and the beach managers or service providers may also vary depending on the policies in place.

A risk management approach that focuses on the identification and control of water quality hazards and their associated risks before the point of contact with the recreational water user represents the best strategy for the protection of public health. More details on the risk management of recreational water quality are available in the Guidelines for Canadian Recreational Water Quality - Understanding and Managing Risks in Recreational Waters technical document.

The Bank Swallow (Riparia riparia) is listed as threatened on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act and is a migratory bird protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994. The Bank Swallow forages over open country and aquatic habitats that support insect populations within 500 m from nesting habitat, and nests in colonies in natural settings generally along river bluffs, lakeshores or coastlines. In Canada, the Bank Swallow breeding range includes all provinces and most territories.

The latest recovery strategy for the Bank Swallow, available at https://species-registry.canada.ca/index-en.html#/consultations/1586, identifies the critical habitat for the species in a number of areas, including within federally protected areas.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to subsection 58(2) of the Species at Risk Act, subsection 58(1) of that Act applies, 90 days after this publication, to the critical habitat of the Bank Swallow identified in the recovery strategy — for that species that is included on the Species at Risk Public Registry — that is found within the Baie de L’Isle-Verte National Wildlife Area, Big Creek National Wildlife Area, Columbia National Wildlife Area, Îles de Contrecœur National Wildlife Area, Long Point National Wildlife Area, Pointe de l’Est National Wildlife Area, Tintamarre National Wildlife Area, Wellers Bay National Wildlife Area, Black Pond Bird Sanctuary, Bonaventure Island and Percé Rock Bird Sanctuary, Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, L’Isle-Verte Bird Sanctuary, Montmagny Bird Sanctuary, Red Deer Bird Sanctuary, and Saint-Vallier Bird Sanctuary described in Schedule 1 of the Wildlife Area Regulations made pursuant to the Canada Wildlife Act and the Migratory Bird Sanctuary Regulations made pursuant to the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994.
