Stormwater Permit for Procter & Gamble Parking Expansion - Belleville
Official title: Procter & Gamble Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
Procter & Gamble wants to build a new parking lot and battery storage facility at their Belleville plant. The 2.2-hectare expansion needs approval for how it handles stormwater runoff. An underground tank would store rainwater and filter it before release.
Why This Matters
Live near the P&G plant on University Avenue? This expansion could affect local drainage and water quality. The stormwater system is designed to filter runoff before it enters local waterways.
What Could Change
If approved, P&G can develop 2.2 hectares for employee parking and a battery energy storage system. The permit would set requirements for stormwater treatment, including a 764 cubic metre underground storage tank.
Key Issues
- Is the proposed stormwater management system adequate to protect local water quality?
- Are there concerns about the battery energy storage system at this location?
