Effets de la consultation
One comment was received from the Regional Municipality of Niagara identifying the location of the water taking within the Region’s Natural Environment System (“NES”) Official Plan designation. The Region had no objection to the renewal of the proposed water taking, provided that the water taking does not negatively impact natural heritage features, or the quality and quantity of water available to service existing uses in the surrounding area.
Ministry Response
This comment was considered in this decision and was also considered under previous renewal decisions at the same site. The ministry is satisfied that the water taking continues to be sustainable and impacts to natural heritage features and other water users are not anticipated. The ministry relies on an adaptive management approach to respond to evolving environmental conditions and new information, allowing us to evaluate this information and adjust water taking and permit conditions as necessary.

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
- provide notice to the minister
- 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:
