Stormwater Approval for Norwich Residential Subdivision
Official title: Stubbe's Property Development Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A developer wants to build a new residential subdivision at 136 Main Street in Norwich Township. They need provincial approval for the stormwater system that will manage rainwater runoff from the new homes. The system includes storm sewers, a wet pond, and will drain into the Orth Drain.
Why This Matters
Live near 136 Main Street in Norwich? This subdivision could change your neighbourhood. The stormwater pond and drainage system will affect local water flow. If you're downstream on the Orth Drain, this matters to you.
What Could Change
If approved, the developer can proceed with building the subdivision. A new stormwater wet pond will be constructed. Storm sewers will connect to the municipal Orth Drain. The Ministry may impose conditions on water quality and flow rates.
Key Issues
- Will the stormwater system adequately protect water quality in the Orth Drain?
- Are the proposed erosion controls sufficient during and after construction?
- Will the wet pond handle stormwater quantity from the new subdivision?
How to Participate
- Review the proposal details on this consultation page. Supporting materials may be available to view in person by contacting the ministry.
- Submit your comments through the Environmental Registry by the deadline, or email enviropermissions@ontario.ca.
