Septic System Approvals – Who, What, How, When?
Did you know that the proposed streamlined approval process for existing onsite sewage systems will be available soon?
Approval is required from the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change to use, operate, establish, alter, extend or replace sewage works subject to the Ontario Water Resources Act. The Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change will be joining us at the 2016 Northern Ontario Tourism Summit to educate and discuss sewage systems. Join us to learn about:
1) Sewage Works – Legislative requirements, Approval requirements, Inspections by ministry staff, Best Management Practices and Regular Maintenance. (Drew Brennan)
2) A proposed streamlined approvals process for existing onsite sewage works meeting specific criteria, such as serving less than six permanent residential units and with under 20,000 litres/day capacity.  (Kevin Plautz)
