Appeal process for decisions published before June 1, 2021

If you’re an Ontario resident, you can start the process to appeal this instrument decision.

First, you’ll need to seek leave (i.e. get permission) from the relevant appellate body to appeal the decision.

If the appellate body grants leave, the appeal itself will follow.

Seek leave to appeal

To seek leave to appeal, you need to do these three things:

  1. prepare your application
  2. provide notice to the minister
  3. mail your application to three parties

1. Prepare your application

You’ll need to prepare an application. You may wish to include the following things in your application:

  1. A document that includes:
    • your name, phone number, fax number (if any), and/or email address
    • the ERO number and ministry reference number (located on this page)
    • a statement about whether you are a resident in Ontario
    • your interest in the decision, and any facts you want taken into account in deciding whether you have an interest in the decision
    • the parts of the instrument that you’re challenging
    • whether the decision could result in significant harm to the environment
    • the reason(s) why you believe that no reasonable person – having regard to the relevant law and to any government policies developed to guide decisions of that kind – could have made the decision
    • the grounds (facts) you’ll be using to appeal
    • the outcome you’d like to see
  2. A copy of the instrument (approval, permit, order) that you you are seeking leave to appeal. You’ll find this in the decision notice on the Environmental Registry
  3. Copies of all supporting documents, facts and evidence that you’ll be using to appeal
What is considered

The appeal body will consider the following two questions in deciding whether to grant you leave to appeal:

  1. is there is good reason to believe that no reasonable person, with respect to the relevant law and to any government policies developed to guide decisions of that kind, could have made the decision?
  2. could the decision you wish to appeal result in significant harm to the environment?

2. Provide your notice

You’ll need to provide notice to the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks that you’re seeking leave to appeal.

In your notice, please include a brief description of the:

Proposal details

This proposal is for an Environmental Compliance Approval for the establishment of seasonal subsurface sewage disposal works for Camp Moshava, to include new sewage works and consolidate the existing Environmental Compliance Approval, located in the Township of Selwyn, Ontario.

The proposal is for the approval of one Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) to incorporate all the existing sewage system on the property. This includes:

  • a large central sewage system under ECA No. 4013-4X9NAB, rated at 55,220 litres per day
  • a number of small individual systems servicing each of the buildings on the property.

A new large central sewage system, rated at 75,000 litres per day, is proposed to replace the small individual sewage systems spread throughout the site which will be decommissioned. The new system will also allow for future expansion of the camp.

The Camp is operated seasonally (summer), with a single year round residence on the property. The Camp will have subsurface sewage disposal works at 143,320 litres per day. Septic tanks will service either individual buildings or a building cluster.

Effluent disposal will be to either a small individual subsurface disposal bed, or the effluent will be discharge to a pump chamber. The pump chamber will pump effluent to the central sewage system disposal area.

The camp will ultimately have five sewage systems:

  • the sewage system for the year round residence, rated at 2,000 litres per day
  • the central sewage system servicing the lower camp, constructed under ECA No. 4013-4X9NAB, rated at 55,220 litres per day
  • the sewage system for the existing kitchen/dinning hall, rated at 8,100 litres per day
  • the sewage system for the existing recreational building, rated at 3,000 litres per day
  • the proposed new central sewage system for the upper camp, rated at 75,000 litres per day
