Sewage Approval for Aggregate Washing Plant - Jigs Hollow Pit, 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. They're asking for approval to handle the wastewater. The system would use three ponds in a closed loop—water gets used, settles in two ponds, then cycles back for reuse.
Why This Matters
Live near West Montrose or the Township of Woolwich? This facility would operate close to you. If you rely on well water or care about local water quality, this approval could affect your area. The closed-loop system is designed to prevent discharge, but the ministry may still require monitoring.
What Could Change
If approved, Ontario Custom Aggregates could operate a new aggregate washing facility with a three-pond wastewater system. The ministry may impose effluent monitoring requirements for any discharge leaving the site.
Key Issues
- Should the closed-loop wastewater system be approved for this aggregate washing operation?
- What effluent monitoring requirements should be imposed?
