Wastewater System Upgrade for Camp Barcovan Trailer Park - Quinte West
Official title: 825678 Ontario Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A trailer park near Lake Ontario needs to fix its failing septic system. The current wastewater beds are too small and keep breaking down. The owner wants approval to build a new underground distribution bed to handle sewage from 129 trailers, tent sites, and cabins.
Why This Matters
Live near Stoneburg Cove or use Lake Ontario for recreation? This trailer park's sewage system has been failing. A proper fix could protect local water quality. Nearby well owners and lake users should pay attention.
What Could Change
If approved, the park can build a new wastewater distribution bed designed for 59,350 litres per day. The five existing septic systems would connect to a central treatment system with backup alarms. This should stop the current system failures.
Key Issues
- Is the proposed wastewater system adequate to handle sewage from 129 trailers and other facilities?
- Will the new distribution bed protect water quality in Stoneburg Cove and Lake Ontario?
