Septic Waste Disposal Permit Renewal - Green Valley, South Glengarry
Official title: Goulet Septic Pumping and Design Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)
Goulet Septic Pumping wants to renew its permit to spread septic tank waste on farmland near Green Valley. The site uses a lagoon and reed filter beds to store and treat sewage from portable toilets and septic systems before spreading it on 17 hectares of land.
Why This Matters
Live near Green Valley or South Glengarry? This site spreads septic waste on farmland close to your community. If you're worried about odours, groundwater, or truck traffic on rural roads, this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, the company can continue operating for another permit term. The permit sets rules for when and where waste can be spread—not during winter, not near wells or homes, not on steep slopes. New monitoring requirements for groundwater could be added.
Key Issues
- Should the permit be renewed for this septic waste spreading site?
- Are the environmental safeguards adequate to protect groundwater and nearby residents?
- Are odour and traffic controls sufficient for the surrounding community?
