Temporary Sediment Basins for Lily Lake Road Development in Peterborough
Official title: Durham Building Corporation - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A developer wants approval to build temporary sediment basins at a construction site in Peterborough. These basins catch dirt and debris from the site before water flows into Jackson Creek. It's a standard environmental permit for a housing development.
Why This Matters
Live near Lily Lake Road or Jackson Creek? This permit affects what flows into your local waterway during construction. Sediment basins are meant to protect water quality, but their design matters.
What Could Change
If approved, Durham Building Corporation can proceed with construction using temporary sediment basins to manage stormwater runoff. The basins will discharge treated water into Jackson Creek during the development phase.
Key Issues
- Will the sediment basins adequately protect Jackson Creek water quality?
- Are the proposed discharge levels appropriate for this waterway?
