Septic System Upgrade for Beckley Beach Cottage - Haldimand County
Official title: Beckley Beach Cottagers' Corporation - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A cottage association wants to replace an old holding tank with a modern septic system at a property near the Grand River. The new system would treat up to 2,000 litres of sewage daily. They're also updating groundwater monitoring requirements.
Why This Matters
Live near Beckley Beach or along the Grand River? This affects local groundwater quality. Private well users in the area should pay attention to how sewage is handled nearby.
What Could Change
If approved, the cottage can switch from a holding tank to a filter bed septic system. New groundwater monitoring conditions would apply to ensure the system doesn't contaminate local water sources.
Key Issues
- Will the new septic system adequately protect groundwater quality?
- Are the revised groundwater monitoring conditions sufficient?

- Review the proposal details on this consultation page to understand the septic system changes being requested.
