Royal Canin Canada Company - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)

This proposal from Royal Canin Canada Company is for an amendment to Environmental Compliance Approval No. 1042-A3QQRY for industrial sewage treatment and stormwater management works serving 100 Beiber Road in Puslinch, Ontario.

The proposed modification and expansion of the existing sewage treatment works are to increase treatment capacity from 30 cubic metres to a total of 150 cubic metres, separate sanitary and process wastewater, and install a new packaged Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) to treat process effluent, with the existing Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) being retained to provide treatment for the sanitary wastewater.

Treated sanitary effluent would be discharged to the existing leaching bed. Treated process effluent would be discharged to the existing stormwater pond and then flow downgradient towards two bermed flood control and infiltration areas owned by Royal Canin. When the storage capacity of the bermed flood control and infiltration area would exceed, treated effluent will flow further southwards to the depressed area adjacent to Hwy 401.

The ministry will impose effluent limits and require effluent monitoring.
