Sewage System Upgrade for Cedar Crest Campground - Varty Lake Road
Official title: Lori-Ann Jean Holliday and David Holliday operating as Cedar Crest Cottages and Campground - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A campground near Varty Lake wants to upgrade its sewage treatment system. The owners are swapping out a smaller pump chamber for a larger one and changing the treatment technology. The new design actually reduces the overall treatment bed area.
Why This Matters
Live near Varty Lake or camp at Cedar Crest? This permit affects how sewage is treated before it enters the ground. If you rely on well water nearby, you might want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, the campground can install a larger 9,000-litre pump chamber instead of the current 6,000-litre one. They'll also switch to a System O nested pipe treatment system. The treatment bed footprint would shrink.
Key Issues
- Is the larger pump chamber and new treatment system adequate for the campground's needs?
- Will the reduced treatment bed area still protect groundwater and Varty Lake?
