Water Permit Amendment for Golf Course Irrigation - Carlisle
Official title: 1370569 Ontario Inc. - Permit to take water
A golf course near Carlisle, Ontario wants to draw water from two ponds for 15 more days each year. The permit would allow water taking from March through October for irrigation. This is classified as a Category 3 permit—the highest risk level for potential environmental impact.
Why This Matters
Live near Carlisle or East Flamborough? This permit could affect local water levels. The golf course wants to pump up to 3.5 million litres daily from one pond alone. If you rely on a private well nearby, you might want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, the golf course could take water for 245 days per year instead of 230. That's an extra two weeks of pumping from local ponds. The permit would last 10 years.
Key Issues
- Should the water taking period be extended from 230 to 245 days per year?
- What are the potential environmental impacts of this Category 3 water taking?
