Original proposal
Proposal details
This proposal is to amend the existing Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) No. 0652-AEHQ7N, issued on March 29, 2017 for the approval of sewage works serving the Sun-Brite Foods Inc. food processing facility, located at 1532 County Road 34 in the Town of Kingsville, Ontario.
The previously approved sewage works were designed for the collection, transmission, treatment and disposal of treated process effluent and non-contact cooling water from a food processing facility canning tomatoes, sauces, condiments and beans. The approved sewage works discharge via an existing 375 mm diameter outlet pipe located on Part 2 Plan 12R-24285 to the Melville-Bruner Drain Extension, and ultimately via the Melville-Bruner Drain and the Lane Drain (mixing zone) to Lake Erie or by spray irrigation.
The proposed amendments are for approval of:
- a change of the "harvest period" definition from "approximately six (6) week period in the month of August, September and October in a calendar year" to "approximately twelve (12) week period in the month of August, September and October in a calendar year"
- an increase of non-contact cooling water discharge from the existing maximum rate of 1,100 m3/day during the harvest period and 455 m3/day during other times of the year to a maximum rate of 3,500 m3/day during the harvest period and 1,000 m3/day during other times of the year
- existing and proposed stormwater management works
- the existing irrigation tank
- the existing lagoon/storage pond/stormwater management pond
