Soil Processing Facility Permit for DS Soils - Barrie Industrial Area
Official title: DS Soils Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)
DS Soils wants to open a facility in Barrie that processes dirt and soil from construction sites. Trucks would bring in up to 1,000 tonnes of soil daily, where it gets tested, cleaned, and sorted for reuse or disposal. The facility would operate around the clock in a new industrial area.
Why This Matters
Live or work near Middleton Court in Barrie? This facility could mean more truck traffic in the area. The 24/7 operations might affect noise levels. Separated water would go into the local sewer system.
What Could Change
If approved, DS Soils could process up to 365,000 tonnes of soil annually at this location. The facility would be authorized to operate continuously, receiving materials from across Ontario. Wastewater would be discharged to the municipal sewer system.
Key Issues
- Should this facility be approved to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year?
- Is the proposed daily limit of 1,000 tonnes appropriate for this location?
- Are the wastewater discharge plans to the sanitary sewer adequate?
