Decision details
Amendments to the Ontario Water Resources Act (OWRA) made on April 1, 2020 removed the need for a permit to take water for the construction or operation of a dam for the purposes of generating electricity.
This activity no longer requires a permit and none was issued.
The ministry advised the applicant that no permit was required on August 26, 2020.
