Sewage System Expansion for Presqu'ile Provincial Park Campground
Official title: Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Ontario as Represented by the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
Ontario Parks wants to add 42 new campsites to Presqu'ile Provincial Park near Brighton. To handle the extra visitors, they need approval for a new septic system including comfort stations and a trailer dump station. The system would process about 18,670 litres of sewage daily.
Why This Matters
Camp at Presqu'ile? This expansion could mean more spots available next summer. Live nearby? The new septic system will handle sewage from thousands of campers each season. If you have concerns about groundwater or environmental impacts, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
If approved, Ontario Parks can build a new septic system with three large tanks and a leaching bed covering over 1,900 square metres. The park's group camping area would grow by 42 sites. New comfort stations and a trailer dump station would be added.
Key Issues
- Is the proposed septic system adequate for handling sewage from 42 additional campsites?
- What are the potential environmental impacts on groundwater and the surrounding area?
