Bulletin summary

An Environmental Compliance Approval was granted to Gerdau Ameristeel Corporation for stormwater management works located at 2025 River Road in the City of London. The stormwater management works are comprised of perimeter ditches and embankments, sediment traps, and a stormwater collection pond, and dykes to prevent discharge from the site.

Why consultation isn't required

On April 1, 2020, the Ontario Government made a temporary regulation to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Ontario Regulation 115/20 exempted all proposals for policies, acts, regulations and instruments from posting requirements under the EBR.

Ontario Regulation 115/20 was revoked on June 15, 2020, however, we are posting this decision as a bulletin because the proposal was posted on April 2, 2020 while Ontario Regulation 115/20 was in effect.

Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consult with the public on this proposal by posting ERO# 019-1590 for public comment from April 2, 2020 to May 17, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.

Instrument decision details

An Environmental Compliance Approval was granted to Gerdau Ameristeel Corporation, for ditches and stormwater management works located at 2025 River Road, in the City of London.

The stormwater management works are comprised of stormwater quality and quantity control features to capture and contain surface runoff within the Gerdau facility site boundaries and prevent stormwater from discharging offsite. The system consists of perimeter ditches and embankments, sediment traps, and a stormwater collection pond, and a dike along the southern property line to provide secondary containment and prevent stormwater discharge from the site during the regional storm event. Following storm events, the pond will be pumped and hauled offsite as needed to maintain sufficient capacity to manage storm event runoff and prevent any potential discharge from the site.
