How to Appeal

Cet avis de décision peut être porté en appel. Vous avez jusqu’à 15 jours à partir du 23 mars 2023 pour entamer le processus d’appel.

Veuillez lire les renseignements suivants attentivement pour en savoir plus sur le processus d’appel.

Comment interjeter appelClick to Expand Accordion

If you’re an Ontario resident, you can start the process to appeal this instrument decision.

First, you’ll need to seek leave (i.e. get permission) from the relevant appellate body to appeal the decision.

If the appellate body grants leave, the appeal itself will follow.

Seek leave to appeal

To seek leave to appeal, you need to do these three things:

  1. prepare your application
  2. provide notice to the minister
  3. mail your application to three parties

1. Prepare your application

You’ll need to prepare an application. You may wish to include the following things in your application:

  1. A document that includes:
    • your name, phone number, fax number (if any), and/or email address
    • the ERO number and ministry reference number (located on this page)
    • a statement about whether you are a resident in Ontario
    • your interest in the decision, and any facts you want taken into account in deciding whether you have an interest in the decision
    • the parts of the instrument that you’re challenging
    • whether the decision could result in significant harm to the environment
    • the reason(s) why you believe that no reasonable person – having regard to the relevant law and to any government policies developed to guide decisions of that kind – could have made the decision
    • the grounds (facts) you’ll be using to appeal
    • the outcome you’d like to see
  2. A copy of the instrument (approval, permit, order) that you you are seeking leave to appeal. You’ll find this in the decision notice on the Environmental Registry
  3. Copies of all supporting documents, facts and evidence that you’ll be using to appeal
What is considered

The appeal body will consider the following two questions in deciding whether to grant you leave to appeal:

  1. is there is good reason to believe that no reasonable person, with respect to the relevant law and to any government policies developed to guide decisions of that kind, could have made the decision?
  2. could the decision you wish to appeal result in significant harm to the environment?

2. Provide your notice

You’ll need to provide notice to the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks that you’re seeking leave to appeal.

In your notice, please include a brief description of the:

  • decision that you wish to appeal
  • grounds for granting leave to appeal

You can provide notice by email at minister.mecp@ontario.ca or by mail at:

College Park 5th Floor, 777 Bay St.
Toronto, ON 
M7A 2J3

3. Mail your application

You’ll need to mail your application that you prepared in step #1 to each of these three parties:

  • appellate body
  • issuing authority (the ministry official who issued the instrument)
  • proponent (the company or individual to whom the instrument was issued)

Détails de la proposition

Liquid Fuels Handling Code (LFHC) Requirements that Could Not be Met:

4.5.1.3.

(a) Double-wall underground pressure piping systems that were installed prior to January 1, 2006, and were approved to one of the following standards

  1. ULC/ORD-C107.4-1992, Ducted Flexible Underground Piping System for Flammable and Combustible Liquids;
  2. ULC/ORD-C107.7-1993, Glass-Fibre Reinforced Plastic Pipe and Fittings for Flammable and Combustible Liquids; or
  3. ULC/ORD-C107.19-1992, Secondary Containment of Underground Piping for Flammable and Combustible Liquids

shall be upgraded with Electronic Line Leak Detection (ELLD) within three years of the effective date of this code.

  1. If the certification for the pipe is undetermined, the piping shall be upgraded in accordance with (a).
  2. The ELLD shall be programmed to run the 0.76 litres/hour test every month and the 0.38 litres/hour test annually and it shall shut down the submersible turbine pump when a leak is detected.

Why the Code Could Not be Met

Due to the 2020 construction delays caused by COVID-19 related restrictions and challenges, Shell’s underground piping replacement projects were pushed out to 2022 (i.e., 2020 construction projects were considered higher priority and were therefore completed in 2021).

Shell has been working to meet the code requirement at each of its sites by upgrading a series of sites each year since the code requirement was introduced. Shell’s original construction schedule would have allowed them to complete all site upgrades prior to the deadline, had there not been interruptions due to COVID-19 in 2020.

Shell has determined that this site will require additional upgrades: new dispensers, sumps (dispenser & STP), new electrical, new aprons and a new tank pad and therefore they would need more time to complete all work.

Equivalent Safety Measures

There are several activities that Shell engages in to ensure their petroleum systems are in working order and do not pose any risks to the environment. These include:

  • Shell currently monitors their piping systems with liquid sensors in the dispenser sumps.
  • Third party petroleum and facility maintenance contractors perform annual and bi-annual inspections on all fuel systems.
  • The retailers perform weekly inspections and are mandated to call in any irregularities they may observe.
  • Shell's SIR (Statistical Inventory Reconciliation) group monitors any variances, and if they determine that any discrepancies are concerning or have a pattern, they request to have Tank and Line testing performed by Cantest, a company that specializes in third party leak detection testing, evaluation and calibration services for storage tanks and fuel dispensing equipment.

Please note that TSSA has granted similar variances.
