Teresa Goetz-Zimmerman - Approval for a consent (subject to conditions) in an area where there is no official plan in place

Application 60-C-210654 was approved on March 10, 2022 subject to standard conditions and:

That prior to final approval, this Ministry is to be advised in writing by the transferor that the Offer of Purchase and Sale agreement, or alternatively, an acknowledgement by the transferor and transferees if the transaction is between family members, contains the following clauses:

1. No assessment has been undertaken for groundwater quality or quantity. Groundwater supplies may not be adequate to support the use of individual private wells, should this source of water be used in future.
2. Should wells be considered as drinking water sources, they must be constructed in accordance with Regulation 903 – Wells, under the Ontario Water Resources Act.
3. Water from any water bodies on or near the lot should not be used for human consumption unless it is disinfected and/or treated to meet the Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards, as stipulated in O. Reg. 169/03 of the Safe Drinking Water Act.
4. Small private sewage disposal facilities which have a daily sewage flow of 10,000 litres or less per day must be certified by the Northwestern Health Unit. Large private sewage disposal facilities which have a daily sewage flow of >10,000 litres, or communal systems, must be approved by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. The Northwestern Health Unit should be contacted for information on the proper installation and operation of Class IV septic systems and Class 1 (pit privy) sewage systems.
5. Domestic waste must be appropriately handled and disposed of at an approved waste disposal facility.
6. The use of Best Management Practices for shoreline development is strongly recommended. Best Management Practices such as shoreline naturalization and vegetated buffer strips can reduce the adverse effects of shoreline development on inland lakes. It is recommended that sewage systems be located where native soils are deepest, and at the furthest distance possible from the shoreline. Additional resources regarding Best Management Practices are listed in Appendix B of the Lakeshore Capacity Assessment Handbook, 2010, available at: http://www.ontario.ca/environment-and-energy/lakeshore-capacity-assessmenthandbook-protecting-water-quality-inland-lakes.

The last date for appeal of this decision under the Planning Act is March 30, 2022.
