Stormwater Permit for Enbridge Gas Facility in Lunenburg
Official title: Enbridge Gas Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
Enbridge Gas wants approval to manage stormwater runoff at its facility near Lunenburg, Ontario. The system would use a bioretention swale to filter water before releasing it onto nearby farmland. This is a routine environmental permit for industrial stormwater infrastructure.
Why This Matters
Live near County Road 15 in South Stormont? This permit affects how stormwater from the Enbridge facility is handled. The water will discharge onto adjacent farmland after treatment. If you farm nearby or rely on local groundwater, you may want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Enbridge would be authorized to operate stormwater management works at this site. The bioretention swale would filter runoff before it reaches agricultural land. Conditions may be attached regarding water quality monitoring or discharge limits.
Key Issues
- Should Enbridge be approved to discharge treated stormwater onto adjacent farmland?
- Is the proposed bioretention swale adequate for treating industrial stormwater?
