Hauled Sewage Disposal Permit Renewal - Brockton Township Farm
Official title: Martin Bradley Gregg - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)
A farmer near Brockton, Ontario wants to renew his permit to spread septic tank waste on his fields. This is a standard renewal for an existing 33-hectare disposal site. The permit sets rules for when and how sewage can be spread to protect nearby wells, waterways, and neighbours.
Why This Matters
Live near Side Road 5 in Brockton? This permit affects what gets spread on nearby farmland. If you rely on a private well or worry about odours, you might want to weigh in. The site has been operating under existing rules, but renewal is your chance to raise concerns.
What Could Change
If approved, the operator can continue spreading hauled sewage on 33 hectares of farmland. The permit includes setback distances from wells, waterways, and homes. No winter spreading is allowed. Spill reporting and odour control requirements would remain in place.
Key Issues
- Should the permit be renewed for this hauled sewage disposal site?
- Are the setback distances from wells, waterways, and residences adequate?
