Water Permit Renewal for Black Diamond Golf Club - Kawartha Lakes
Official title: Black Diamond Golf Club Inc. - Permit to take water
A golf course near Pontypool wants to renew its water permit for the next 10 years. They'd draw water from a pond for irrigation and a well for the clubhouse. This is a Category 3 permit—the highest risk level for environmental impact.
Why This Matters
Live near this golf course? Get your water from a private well? This permit could affect local water levels. Category 3 means the province thinks there's a higher risk of environmental impact worth watching.
What Could Change
If approved, the golf course could take up to 980,600 litres daily from the pond and 120,000 litres from the well for 10 years. The Ministry may add conditions to protect local water sources.
Key Issues
- Should this Category 3 water permit be renewed for 10 years?
- Are the proposed water taking volumes sustainable for local water sources?
How to Participate
- Review the permit details on this consultation page to understand the proposed water takings.
- Submit your comments through the Environmental Registry by the deadline, or email enviropermissions@ontario.ca.
