Effets de la consultation
The Ministry has reviewed and considered the comments received for the proposal during its review.
The information below summarizes the public's comments received and how we considered and addressed them as part of our decision:
Comments:
Public raised concerns around local physical features and community uses, as well as impacts on the environment, including:
- hauled sewage application rate
- groundwater
- dust and traffic
- wildlife
- odour
Ministry response:
The management of untreated hauled sewage is regulated under the Environmental Protection Act and proposed hauled sewage disposal activities are considered by the Ministry on a case-by-case basis to ensure protection of the environment and public. As part of this review, the Ministry considered local site conditions, including characteristics of the soil, depth to water table and bedrock, slope of the land and distance to nearby sensitive features (such as surface water features, drinking water wells, and residences). The Ministry will only issue an Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) where local site conditions are considered suitable and the Ministry’s requirements are met. The ECA sets out terms and conditions restricting on how operations at the site must take place to ensure the activities meet the Ministry standards that are in place to protect human health and the environment.

Start the process to appeal
If you’re an Ontario resident, you can start the process to appeal this instrument decision.
First, you’ll need to seek leave (i.e. get permission) from the relevant appellate body to appeal the decision.
If the appellate body grants leave, the appeal itself will follow.

To seek leave to appeal, you need to do these three things:
- prepare your application
