The Shoreland Pollution Control Regulations, 1976 are legal rules established under Saskatchewan’s Public Health Act to prevent pollution in areas near lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water. These regulations apply to land within 1,500 feet of the high water mark or areas designated as reservoir development zones. They govern both new and existing buildings, including any extensions or reconstructions, especially where pollution or nuisance is present. The regulations require that sewage and solid waste be managed in ways that protect ground and surface water. Sewage disposal must be approved by health authorities, and systems not connected to public sewage works must use approved private systems like septic tanks. There are rules about where and how sewage can be discharged, including minimum distances from wells, buildings, and water sources. Storage tanks and privy vaults must be watertight and properly located, and their contents must be removed under the supervision of local or park authorities. Owners of recreational or public areas must provide adequate toilet facilities and garbage disposal. Outside toilets are permitted but must meet specific construction and location standards. The regulations also allow for inspections and impose penalties for non-compliance, including daily fines until violations are corrected.
