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:
- prepare your application
- provide notice to the minister
- 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:
- 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
- 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
- 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:
- 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?
- 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)

Proposition initiale
Détails de la proposition
Liquid Fuels Handling Code (LFHC) Requirements that Would Not be Met:
1.3.1. Equipment installed at a facility or on a highway tank shall be approved and
installed in accordance with the requirements of this Code and the manufacturer’s
instructions, and shall be appropriate for the service for which it is intended.
4.1.13. Where a flexible hose connector is used, it shall conform to ULC/ORD-C536, shall
not be direct buried, and shall be installed using the approved installation procedure.
Safety Assessment
Subhod Iyengar, P.Eng. in his sealed letter dated June 10, 2024 informs that:
- The ULC/ORD-C536 standard has now been superseded by the ANSI/CAN/UL 536 in which section 1.9 states that it does not cover “Flexible connector piping for liquid fuels, which is covered by the Standard for Flexible Connector Piping for Fuels, UL 2039.
- The proposed 4-inch flexible metallic connector required to connect the piping from the mine diesel tanks into the pumphouse at this location does not include certification to the ANSI/CAN/UL/ULC 2039 standard.
- It is the opinion of the undersigned that the proposed 4-inch Flex-Pression Fixed by Floating, #150 Flange assembly, 24 inch (610 mm) long metallic piping connector meets the safety objectives listed in the “Standard for Flexible Connector Piping for Fuels” ANSI/CAN/UL/ULC 2039.
- Similar Flex-Pression flanged 12 to 24-inch (305 mm to 610 mm) long metallic piping connectors have been in service for fuel transfer at various facilities for more than 10 years with no reported concerns.
- To mitigate premature failure of the connector, the owner shall put into place a regular monitoring and maintenance program which includes the inspection of all flexible pipe connectors at this site. Inspections are intended to determine the condition of the equipment and its fitness to continue to operate safely, by visual examination with the naked eye from arms length of the installed connector by trained and competent personnel.
- Minor discoloration or minor dimensional changes are to be noted during inspection and ongoing routine monitoring is to continue.
- Excessive permanent deformation, cracking, splitting, braid failure, kinking, excessive corrosion, loss of corrosion protection or evidence of product leaking are to be noted during inspection and immediate corrective actions are to be taken.
- The flexible pipe connector shall be replaced at the first indication of leak, cracking, splitting, braid failure, excessive corrosion, or visible damage to the end fittings (flanges).
TSSA assesses that there is likely to be no environmental impact should these variances be granted.
