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.

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

Proposal details

The proposal is for a new Environmental Compliance Approval for industrial sewage works (ISW) at the Tackaberry Richmond Quarry located at Lot 8, Concession 5 in the Township of Drummond-North Elmsey, County of Lanark.

The ISW comprise:

  • a collection system
  • a quarry sump designed to settle suspended solids
  • a discharge pump with an installed capacity ranging up to 115 liter per second
  • a discharge pipe
  • effluent measurement/monitoring equipment and associated appurtenances

The proposed dimensions of the quarry sump in the following table, are dependent on the pump rate required to dewater the quarry sump as the quarry excavation increases with time.

The ISW are designed to meet an effluent total suspended solids (TSS) concentration of 25 milligrams per litre prior to discharge to Blueberry Marsh.

A discharge monitoring program has been proposed for the industrial wastewater discharge from the site.
