Sewage System Approval for Paul's Creek Campground - Lanark Highlands
Official title: Paul's Creek Camping Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A campground near McDonald's Corners wants approval for its existing sewage system. The septic tank and disposal bed handle about 5,000 litres of wastewater daily. The Ministry may require monitoring and set limits on what can be discharged.
Why This Matters
Camp at Paul's Creek? This is about the sewage system handling waste from campers. Live nearby or draw water from a well in the area? Subsurface disposal can affect groundwater if not properly managed.
What Could Change
If approved, the campground can continue operating its sewage system legally. The Ministry may impose monitoring requirements and effluent limits to protect groundwater and nearby water bodies.
Key Issues
- Should the existing sewage disposal system be approved for continued operation?
- What monitoring requirements and effluent limits should apply?
