Sewage System Expansion for Lyons Little Austria Campground - Burford

Official title: Lyons Delyn Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)

Open Regulations & Permits Environment & Climate
A seasonal campground in Burford, Ontario wants to add two sewage systems to its existing permit. One serves the pavilion with washrooms and laundry. The other handles a caretaker's dwelling. The Ministry is deciding whether to approve the amendment.

Why This Matters

What Could Change

If approved, the campground can operate expanded sewage systems handling up to 22,130 liters per day total. The pavilion system and caretaker dwelling would be formally added to the Environmental Compliance Approval.

Key Issues

  • Should the campground be allowed to add two more sewage disposal systems to its permit?
  • Are the proposed septic systems adequate to protect groundwater in the area?
