Soil Processing Facility Permit - DS Soils Inc., Barrie
Official title: DS Soils Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)
DS Soils Inc. wants to open a facility in Barrie that processes soil and road sweepings from hydrovac trucks. The site would handle up to 1,000 tonnes daily and operate 24/7. Clean soil gets reused; contaminated material goes to licensed disposal sites.
Why This Matters
Live or work near Middleton Court in Barrie? This facility would operate around the clock, with trucks coming and going daily. Wastewater from the process may go into the local sewer system. If you're concerned about noise, traffic, or water quality, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
If approved, DS Soils could receive up to 365,000 tonnes of soil annually at this Barrie location. The facility would be authorized to discharge treated water to the sanitary sewer. Operating hours would be unlimited—24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Key Issues
- Should this facility be approved to operate 24/7 in an industrial area of Barrie?
- Is it appropriate to discharge treated water into the local sanitary sewer system?
- Are the proposed daily and annual waste limits (1,000 tonnes/day, 365,000 tonnes/year) acceptable?
