Decision details
On Apr 15, 2020, we approved new Environmental Compliance Approval (Private Sewage) No. 6731-BHNLSY for Everton Scout Camp, of Scouts Canada Central Ontario, to replace an existing septic system with a seasonally operated 8,500 L/d Class 4 septic bed system to accommodate sanitary sewage service need of an existing wheeler lodge and a swimming pool; approved two (2) existing individual Class 4 septic systems (800 L/d and 900 L/d capacity respectively) serving a year-round operated ranger house and a seasonally occupied stone lodge in the developed area in the camp; as well as approved multiple Class 1 systems serving seasonal cabins, adirondacks, an archery range, and camp sites in the wilderness area in the camp.
The proponent has confirmed the capacity adequacy and physical condition soundness of those existing systems to be remained for continuous service. There is no plan for expansion or changes of use for the subject property.
The ministry requires all the sewage septic systems be operated and maintained properly, as well as the swimming pool water be sufficiently dechlorinated to meet total residual chlorine limit prior to discharge and not to cause erosion and sediment build-up.
