Stormwater Permit Amendment for Procter & Gamble Expansion in Belleville
Official title: Procter & Gamble Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
Procter & Gamble wants to expand its Belleville facility with a new building and parking lots. To manage rainwater runoff from these additions, they need to amend their existing environmental permit. The plan includes a new dry pond and drainage swales to control water flow and quality before it leaves the site.
Why This Matters
Live near the Procter & Gamble site on University Avenue? This expansion could affect local drainage patterns. The new stormwater controls are designed to prevent flooding and filter runoff before it reaches local waterways.
What Could Change
If approved, Procter & Gamble can build a new 0.52-hectare building and parking lots. A new dry pond holding 2,156 cubic metres will be constructed to manage stormwater. Future expansions would require similar controls.
Key Issues
- Are the proposed stormwater controls adequate to prevent flooding and protect water quality?
- Will the new dry pond and drainage system effectively manage runoff from the expanded facility?
