Sewage System Upgrade for Cedar Crest Campground - Varty Lake Road
Official title: Lori-Ann Jean Holliday and David Holliday operating as Cedar Crest Cottages and Campground - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A campground near Varty Lake wants to upgrade its sewage treatment system. The owners are swapping out a smaller pump chamber for a larger one and changing the treatment technology. The overall treatment area would actually shrink.
Why This Matters
Live near Varty Lake or camp at Cedar Crest? This affects how sewage gets treated before it reaches the ground. Proper treatment protects local groundwater and the lake itself.
What Could Change
If approved, the campground can install a 9,000-litre pump chamber instead of the current 6,000-litre one. They'd also switch to a System O nested pipe treatment system. The Ministry would update their Environmental Compliance Approval.
Key Issues
- Is the larger pump chamber appropriate for the site?
- Will the new System O treatment technology adequately protect groundwater?
