Sewage System Expansion for Northwood Beach Resort - Bayfield, Huron County
Official title: Northwood Beach Resort Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A trailer park near Bayfield wants to expand from 53 to 69 sites. To handle the extra sewage, they need to replace their entire septic system with a larger one. The new system would process about 29,000 litres of wastewater daily using anaerobic digesters and biofilter tanks.
Why This Matters
Live near Bluewater Highway in Bayfield? This expansion could affect local groundwater. If you rely on a private well nearby, you might want to weigh in on whether this sewage system is adequate.
What Could Change
If approved, Northwood Beach Resort could add 16 new trailer sites. A new sewage treatment system with anaerobic digesters and biofilters would replace the existing septic system. The Ministry would set conditions for operation and monitoring.
Key Issues
- Is the proposed sewage system adequate for 69 trailer sites?
- What are the potential impacts on local groundwater?
- Are the anaerobic digesters and biofilter tanks appropriate technology for this site?
