Stormwater Permit Amendment for Grace Family Farms Greenhouse - Leamington
Official title: Grace Family Farms Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A greenhouse operation in Leamington wants to expand its stormwater management system. Grace Family Farms is adding drainage pipes, swales, and expanding a wet pond for their phase 2 greenhouse development. The overflow would discharge into the Jacob Fox Drain.
Why This Matters
Live near County Road 18 or 19 in Leamington? This expansion could affect local drainage patterns. If you're downstream on the Jacob Fox Drain, more stormwater will flow your way during heavy rains.
What Could Change
If approved, Grace Family Farms can build new drainage infrastructure including an expanded wet pond and emergency spillway. The amendment modifies Environmental Compliance Approval No. 6469-CJ7QND to allow increased stormwater discharge to the Jacob Fox Drain.
Key Issues
- Should the stormwater pond expansion and new discharge to Jacob Fox Drain be approved?
- Are the proposed drainage systems adequate for the phase 2 greenhouse development?
