Sewage System Approval for Whitby Warehouse Development

Official title: Halls-Lake Ridge GP Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)

Closed Regulations & Permits Environment & Climate
A developer wants to build a sewage treatment system for a new warehouse and office complex in Whitby, Ontario. The system would handle up to 59,000 liters of wastewater daily using underground treatment tanks and dispersal beds. Ontario's environment ministry is asking for public input before deciding whether to approve the project.

Why This Matters

Live near Halls Road North in Whitby? This sewage system would be built in your neighbourhood. If you rely on well water nearby, you might want to know how treated wastewater will be dispersed underground.

What Could Change

If approved, the developer can build a multi-stage sewage treatment system with underground dispersal beds. The approval would set limits on daily wastewater flow and treatment standards the facility must meet.

Key Issues

  • Should the sewage treatment system be approved for this location?
  • Are the proposed treatment methods adequate to protect groundwater?
