Sewage Treatment Plant Approval for Gateway Casino - Innisfil
Official title: Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Limited - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
Gateway Casinos wants to build a private sewage treatment plant for a new casino and hotel complex in Innisfil, Ontario. The plant would treat wastewater from the casino, hotel, and two restaurants, then discharge treated effluent into Innisfil Creek. The facility would process up to 180 cubic metres of sewage daily.
Why This Matters
Live near Innisfil Creek or downstream? Treated sewage will be discharged into it. If you fish, swim, or get water from this area, you might want to weigh in. Neighbours of the proposed site at 255 Reive Boulevard may also have concerns about the development.
What Could Change
If approved, Gateway Casinos could build and operate a private sewage treatment plant discharging 180 cubic metres of treated effluent daily into Innisfil Creek. The approval may include conditions on water quality standards, monitoring requirements, and discharge limits.
Key Issues
- Should the sewage treatment plant be approved to discharge treated effluent into Innisfil Creek?
