Industrial Sewage Approval for Aggregate Washing Plant - West Montrose
Official title: Ontario Custom Aggregates Limited - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
Ontario Custom Aggregates wants to build a new aggregate washing plant at their Jigs Hollow Pit in West Montrose. The system would use a closed-loop water cycle with three settling ponds to wash gravel and sand. The Ministry is reviewing whether to approve this industrial sewage system.
Why This Matters
Live near West Montrose or the Jigs Hollow Road area? This facility would operate in your community. The closed-loop system is designed to recycle water, but the Ministry may require monitoring of any discharge leaving the site.
What Could Change
If approved, the company could operate an aggregate washing plant with industrial sewage works at this location. The Ministry may impose effluent monitoring requirements for any water discharged from the site.
Key Issues
- Should this industrial sewage system for aggregate washing be approved?
- What effluent monitoring requirements should apply to any discharge?
How to Participate
- Review the proposal details on the consultation page to understand the proposed aggregate washing system.
