(2) 1 km upstream and 100 m downstream from a category 1 or 2 withdrawal site if it is situated in the St. Lawrence River or, in the parts of the St. Lawrence River where the current may reverse due to the tide, 1 km upstream and downstream from the withdrawal site;
(3) 500 m upstream and 50 m downstream from a category 1 or 2 withdrawal site if it is situated in any other watercourse.
