Sewage Spreading Permit Renewal - Hodgins Custom Service, Lucan Biddulph
Official title: Hodgins Custom Service Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)
A septic hauling company wants to renew its permit to spread sewage on farmland near Lucan, Ontario. The 32-hectare site on Coursey Line has been used for surface spreading of waste from septic tanks and portable toilets. The renewal would continue this practice with rules about when and where spreading can happen.
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 distances from water sources. Odour and truck traffic are also regulated under this approval.
What Could Change
If renewed, Hodgins Custom Service can continue spreading hauled sewage on 32 hectares of land. The permit sets maximum spreading rates and bans winter spreading. Setbacks from wells, homes, and waterways would remain in place. Spills must be reported to the Ministry.
Key Issues
- Should the sewage spreading permit be renewed for this site?
- Are the proposed setback distances from wells and homes adequate?
- Are the odour and traffic controls sufficient for nearby residents?
