Greencity Limited - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)

This proposal is for a new Environmental Compliance Approval for Greencity Limited for the establishment of subsurface disposal works, rated at 12,100 litres per day serving the Upper Rideau Resorts, located at 9748 County Road 42, in the Township of Rideau Lakes, Ontario.

The Upper Rideau Resorts consists of six seasonal small 3-bedroom waterfront cabins and one 5-bedroom multi-family dwelling which remains partially occupied throughout the year.

There are currently three class 4 wastewater treatment systems (WWTS) located on the site:

• System 1 services two cabins utilizing two traditional septic tanks, a pump chamber, and a dosed in-ground filter bed.
• System 2 services four cabins utilizing one traditional septic tank and a gravity fed in-ground conventional leaching bed.
• System 3 services one 5-bedroom multi-family dwelling utilizing a traditional septic tank and a gravity fed in-ground conventional leaching bed.

The following modifications are proposed to the existing WWTS systems:

• Upgrades to System 2, including the decommissioning of the existing in-ground conventional leaching bed, adding a new pump chamber and rerouting the effluent from four cabins to a new partially raised leaching bed comprised of type II leaching chambers.
• Upgrades to System 3, including the decommissioning of the existing in-ground conventional leaching bed, adding a new pump chamber, and rerouting the effluent from the 5-bedroom multi-family dwelling to a new partially raised leaching bed comprised of type II leaching chambers. The new partially raised leaching bed has been designed to have the capacity to treat four 3-bedroom cabins and one 5-bedroom multi-family dwelling with a combined theoretical daily design sewage flow of 8,900 litres per day.
