Sewage System Approval for Highway Meadows Mobile Home Community - Bayham
Official title: 2572306 Ontario Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A mobile home community near Tillsonburg wants to expand its sewage system. The Highway Meadows community needs approval for 35 existing septic systems that were never properly permitted, plus 15 new ones for planned homes. The systems treat wastewater on-site before releasing it into the ground.
Why This Matters
Live near Plank Road in Bayham? This affects groundwater in your area. The community is adding capacity for 14 new mobile homes, and 35 existing systems were never properly approved. If you rely on well water nearby, you'll want to know how this is being managed.
What Could Change
If approved, the community could add 14 new mobile homes with individual septic systems. The 35 previously unpermitted systems would become legally compliant. Total sewage capacity would reach about 72,600 litres per day.
Key Issues
- Should 35 existing but unpermitted septic systems be approved retroactively?
- Should 15 new septic systems be approved for community expansion?
- Is the combined sewage capacity of 72,598 litres per day appropriate for this location?
