Official title: 2791488 Ontario Limited operating as Big Basswood Lake Resort - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
An RV park with cabins near Thessalon wants to install a new sewage system. The proposal includes two septic tanks and a subsurface disposal bed handling about 13,900 litres of wastewater daily. Ontario's environment ministry is asking for public input before deciding whether to approve it.
Why This Matters

What Could Change
