Sewage System Upgrade for Springwood Cottage Resort - Central Frontenac
Official title: 2796017 Ontario Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A cottage resort near Arden, Ontario wants to upgrade its sewage treatment system. The resort currently has nine separate systems, some dating back to 2014 that were never built as approved. The new plan would consolidate everything into one modern treatment system handling about 25,000 litres of wastewater daily.
Why This Matters
Live near Blue Heron Ridge or use the lake in the area? This permit affects how sewage from a 14-cottage resort gets treated before going into the ground. Properly treated wastewater protects local groundwater and nearby water bodies.
What Could Change
If approved, the resort would decommission three old sewage systems and all greywater systems. A new consolidated treatment system would handle wastewater from multiple cottages through anaerobic digestion and biofilter treatment before subsurface disposal.
Key Issues
- Is the proposed sewage treatment system adequate for the resort's wastewater volume?
- Will the subsurface disposal protect local groundwater quality?
- Should the amendment be approved given the previous approval was never implemented?
