Sewage System Approval for Paul's Creek Campground - Lanark Highlands
Official title: Paul's Creek Camping Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A campground near McDonald's Corners wants approval for its existing sewage system. The septic tank and disposal bed handle about 5,000 litres of wastewater daily. The province may require monitoring and set limits on what can be discharged.
Why This Matters
Live near this campground or draw water from a private well in the area? This permit affects how sewage is treated on site. Campers using Paul's Creek Campground are also affected by how waste is managed.
What Could Change
If approved, the campground can continue operating its sewage system legally. The Ministry may impose effluent monitoring requirements and discharge limits to protect groundwater.
Key Issues
- Should the existing sewage disposal system be approved to continue operating?
- What monitoring and effluent limits should be required?
