| Abstract | Ontario supports "green" heating and cooling sources, such as geothermal systems, and is committed to ensuring the safe installation of these systems to protect human health and the environment.
Consequently, the use of geothermal systems is expected to increase. Over the next decade, installations of geothermal systems will become routine and common, especially systems using deeper boreholes in dense urban areas. If not properly constructed
and managed, there is a potential for geothermal systems to impact groundwater and surface water sources as well as present human health and public safety issues. The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change will present some examples of
incidents that ministry has responded to and mitigated over the last ten years. |
