Decision details
The ministry issued an Environmental Compliance Approval to Halton Crushed Stone Limited for the establishment of sewage works for the collection, transmission, treatment and reuse of wash water from a proposed aggregate wash plant located within the Kirkfield Quarry site in the City of Kawartha Lakes.
The approved sewage works consist of:
- a primary settling pond complete with a 1 m thick compacted liner made of local low permeability clayey and silty materials and a minimum 1 m high perimeter containment berm, receiving wash water from the proposed aggregate wash plant, and discharging by gravity to a secondary (polishing) settling pond
- a secondary (polishing) settling pond complete with a 1 m thick compacted liner made of local low permeability clayey and silty materials and a minimum 1 m high perimeter containment berm, receiving effluent from the primary settling pond, and discharging by gravity to a tertiary (clarifying) settling pond
- a tertiary (clarifying) settling pond complete with a 1 m thick compacted liner made of local low permeability clayey and silty materials and a minimum 1 m high perimeter containment berm, receiving effluent from the secondary (polishing) settling pond, and discharging by gravity to a fresh water intake pond
- a fresh water intake pond complete with a 1 m thick compacted liner made of local low permeability clayey and silty materials, a minimum 1 m high perimeter containment berm, and a 3 m wide emergency spillway discharging to the existing quarry sedimentation pond, receiving effluent from tertiary (clarifying) settling pond and on an as-needed basis from the existing quarry collection sump, the fresh water intake pond discharging to the proposed aggregate wash plant for re-use in aggregate washing operations.

Original proposal
Proposal details
The proposal is for a new Environmental Compliance Approval for industrial sewage treatment works serving Halton Crushed Stone Limited, located at 1563 Kawartha Lakes Road 48 in Kawartha Lakes.
The industrial sewage treatment works comprise of four ponds which create a closed loop and allow for settlement of fines, which are removed from the aggregate product.
The suspended solids will undergo settling in the primary settling pond, secondary (polishing pond) and tertiary (clarifying pond), and then returns to the fresh water intake pond via pump or gravity flow.
There will be no off-site discharge of surface water from the wash plant or from any of the wash ponds. The ministry may require monitoring of the industrial wastewater effluent discharge leaving the site.
