Veuillez lire les renseignements suivants attentivement pour en savoir plus sur le processus d’appel.

Comment interjeter appelClick to Expand Accordion

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.

Seek leave to appeal

To seek leave to appeal, you need to do these three things:

  1. prepare your application
  2. provide notice to the minister
  3. mail your application to three parties

1. Prepare your application

You’ll need to prepare an application. You may wish to include the following things in your application:

  1. A document that includes:
    • your name, phone number, fax number (if any), and/or email address
    • the ERO number and ministry reference number (located on this page)
    • a statement about whether you are a resident in Ontario
    • your interest in the decision, and any facts you want taken into account in deciding whether you have an interest in the decision
    • the parts of the instrument that you’re challenging
    • whether the decision could result in significant harm to the environment

  1. is there is good reason to believe that no reasonable person, with respect to the relevant law and to any government policies developed to guide decisions of that kind, could have made the decision?
  2. could the decision you wish to appeal result in significant harm to the environment?

2. Provide your notice

You’ll need to provide notice to the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks that you’re seeking leave to appeal.

In your notice, please include a brief description of the:

Détails de la proposition

Vankleek is requesting 3 variances:

  1. To bring back into service a double-wall fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) underground ethanol tank that has been out of service for four years.  The tank was originally installed in 1995 (25 years old).  The applicant plans to return the tank to service in Spring 2021 when the facility is modified.
  1. With regards to TSSA Fuels Safety inspection report # 845493, an extension until December 31, 2020, to complete the following:
  • Tank sump entry boot repair on Tank #2 & #3
  • Service to manhole skirt on Tank #1
  • Service to all tank sump lids and gaskets
  • Securing tank vents
  1. To monitor the interstitial space of Tank #2 and manually record the brine levels monthly until Spring 2021, when the sensor will be replaced.

Please note items numbered 1, 2 and 3, respectively, correspond to the numbered items under each subheading.

Vankleek plans to modify the facility. The modification was originally scheduled for Summer 2020, but due to complications caused by COVID-19, the contractor has been delayed and the work hasn’t started. The work is scheduled for Spring 2021.

The scope of the planned work includes:

  • reconditioning all tank sumps and concrete work at the tank nest;
  • replacing defective wiring and the out-of-service underground ethanol tank’s interstitial sensor (requires excavation);
  • returning the out-of-service underground ethanol tank to service; and
  • modifying piping from the out-of-service underground ethanol tank to tie into and feed a regular line manifold under a retail dispenser.

 

Liquid Fuels Handling Code (LFHC) Requirements that Would Not be Met:

1.  2.4.2.1. Where an underground storage tank is out of service for 2 years or more, the owner of the tank system or the owner of the property on which the tank is located shall remove the tank and piping from the ground.

2 & 3. 1.3.4. Every retail outlet, marina, private outlet, bulk plant, and highway tank shall be maintained in a safe operating condition by the authorization holder and shall be operated safely. Any defective equipment or component shall be repaired or replaced.


Safety Issue Addressed by Code:

  1. Prevents sludge from leaking into the environment
  2. Ensures that all equipment is in proper working order
  3. Detects any leaks in the underground tank


Safety Status / Equivalent Safety Methods:

1.  The tank passed a precision leak test on October 19, 2020 (Cantest)

2 & 3. The temporary variances detailed in the Proposal Summary would maintain safety at the site, until the site is modified in Spring 2021
