Water Permit Renewal for Aggregate Washing - Hurontario Street, Caledon
Official title: 2004295 Ontario Inc. - Permit to take water
A gravel company wants to renew its permit to take water from a pond for washing aggregate at a site on Hurontario Street in Caledon. They're asking to take up to 26 million litres per day for 200 days a year, over a 10-year period. The permit is classified as low-risk for environmental impact.
Why This Matters
Live near this site in Caledon? This permit could affect local water levels for the next decade. The operation would run from March to December, taking significant amounts of water daily. If you rely on nearby wells or care about the local pond ecosystem, this decision matters.
What Could Change
If approved, the company could continue taking up to 26 million litres of water daily from the pond for aggregate washing operations. The 10-year permit would allow operations 200 days per year from March through December. As a Category 1 permit, it's considered lower risk, but conditions may still be attached.
Key Issues
- Should the water taking permit be renewed for another 10 years?
