Geothermal Heating System Permit - 2530 Bedell Road, North Grenville
Official title: Jamie Alan Ghossein - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A homeowner in North Grenville, Ontario wants to install an open-loop geothermal heating system at their house. The system would draw groundwater from a well, use it for heating, and return it to the same aquifer. They're seeking an Environmental Compliance Approval to do this.
Why This Matters
Live near 2530 Bedell Road? This permit could affect local groundwater. The system would move up to 43 cubic metres of water daily through the aquifer. If you rely on a private well nearby, you might want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, the homeowner could operate a geothermal system that cycles groundwater for heating. The permit would set conditions on water volumes and aquifer protection. Neighbours with concerns about well water impacts have until January 29 to comment.
Key Issues
