Sewage System Approval for Grace Family Farms - Leamington
Official title: Grace Family Farms Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A farm in Leamington, Ontario wants to build a new sewage treatment system. The system would handle wastewater from a residence and a bunkhouse, processing about 33,500 litres per day through septic tanks and underground leaching beds.
Why This Matters
Live near this farm on County Road 18? This sewage system could affect groundwater in the area. If you rely on a private well nearby, you might want to weigh in on how wastewater gets treated and disposed of.
What Could Change
If approved, Grace Family Farms can install a Class IV on-site sewage system serving both the dwelling and bunkhouse. The Ministry may attach conditions about monitoring, maintenance, or groundwater protection.
Key Issues
- Should this sewage system be approved for a farm with worker housing?
- Are there concerns about groundwater contamination from the leaching beds?
