Sewage Disposal Permit Renewal - Hodgins Custom Service, Lucan Biddulph
Official title: Hodgins Custom Service Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)
A septic hauling company near Lucan wants to renew its permit to spread sewage on farmland. The 32-hectare site has been operating under this approval before. If renewed, the company can continue disposing of waste from septic tanks and portable toilets by spreading it on agricultural land.
Why This Matters
Live near Coursey Line in Lucan Biddulph? This permit affects what gets spread on nearby farmland. If you rely on a private well, you might want to know about the setback requirements. Odour and traffic from hauling trucks could also affect your daily life.
What Could Change
If approved, Hodgins Custom Service can continue spreading hauled sewage on 32 hectares of land. The permit includes rules about when spreading is allowed—not during winter, not when ground is frozen, and not near wells or waterways. The company must keep logs of daily operations and report any spills.
