How to Appeal

Cet avis de décision peut être porté en appel. Vous avez jusqu’à 15 jours à partir du 1 avril 2025 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 Would 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 L/h test every month and the 0.38 L/h test annually and it shall shut down the submersible turbine pump when a leak is detected. (See Table 5)

Director’s Order FS-250-20

Due to the consequences that COVID-19 (a new development) has had on the fuels industry, including the economic impacts, the impacts from the requirements of social distancing and the impacts from the closing of non-essential businesses, the Director has recognized the challenges industry owners may have in obtaining compliance with the upgrade requirements by October 1, 2020.

Therefore, pursuant to his authority undersection 36(3)(a) of the Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000, the Director, in order to accommodate the new development of COVID-19, temporarily authorizes the following change to clause 4.5.1.3. of the Liquid Fuels Handling Code (LFHC) 2017: the deadline for compliance with the upgrade requirements is extended from “three years of the effective date of this code” by an additional one year and shall hereafter be read “four years of the effective date of this code”; the compliance deadline is therefore extended to October 1, 2021, effective immediately.

Why the Code Would Not be Met

The entire site including piping is scheduled to be upgraded within two years.

Safety Assessment

Tanks and piping at this site are tested for leaks every two years using Precision Leak Testing methods. The last testing was completed in October 2024 with passing result.

TSSA assesses that there is likely to be no environmental impact should this variance be granted.
