Stormwater Management Approval for Industrial Development in Bancroft
Official title: 2425052 Ontario Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A company wants to build stormwater management facilities for a new industrial development on Highway 28 in Bancroft, Ontario. The system would collect rainwater runoff through sewers, ditches, and a dry pond before releasing it into a local waterway in the Bay-York River Watershed.
Why This Matters
Live near Highway 28 in Bancroft? This industrial development could change your neighbourhood. The stormwater system will discharge into a local waterway, which could affect water quality downstream.
What Could Change
If approved, the company can build storm sewers, ditches, and a dry pond to manage runoff from the industrial site. The treated stormwater would flow into an unnamed waterway in the Bay-York River Watershed.
Key Issues
- Should this stormwater management system be approved for the industrial development?
- Will the dry pond and treatment system adequately protect water quality in the Bay-York River Watershed?
