Stormwater Pond Approval for Niagara-on-the-Lake Greenhouse
Official title: Niagara Propagators Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A greenhouse operation in Niagara-on-the-Lake wants approval for a new stormwater management pond. The pond would collect rainwater from greenhouse roofs and release it into a municipal drain that flows to Lake Ontario. The province says the discharge shouldn't affect the lake.
Why This Matters
Live near Concession 7 Road in Niagara-on-the-Lake? This pond would discharge into the Bergman Municipal Drain right next door. If you rely on local water sources or farm nearby, you might want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Niagara Propagators could build a stormwater pond holding over 40,000 cubic metres of water. The pond would discharge directly into the municipal drain system flowing to Lake Ontario.
Key Issues
- Should the stormwater pond discharge into the Bergman Municipal Drain be approved?
- Are there concerns about water quality impacts on the municipal drain system or Lake Ontario?
