Septic Waste Spreading Permit Renewal - Peters Septic Service, Trent Lakes
Official title: Duane Edward Peters operating as Peters Septic Service - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)
A septic hauling company wants to renew its permit to spread sewage waste on farmland near Trent Lakes, Ontario. The site at 238 County Road 49 would continue surface spreading on about 8 hectares. The permit sets rules for when and where spreading can happen.
Why This Matters
Live near County Road 49 in Trent Lakes? This permit affects what gets spread on nearby land. If you rely on a private well, you might want to know about the setback distances from water sources. Neighbours may also care about potential odour during spreading seasons.
What Could Change
If approved, Peters Septic Service can continue spreading hauled sewage on 8.17 hectares until the permit expires. The renewal slightly reduces the useable area from 8.37 hectares. New conditions require written spill procedures and staff training before operations resume.
Key Issues
- Should the permit be renewed for spreading septic waste at this location?
- Are the proposed setback distances from wells, residences, and waterways adequate?
- Are the odour and nuisance controls sufficient for nearby residents?
