How to Appeal

Cet avis de décision peut être porté en appel. Vous avez jusqu’à 15 jours à partir du 15 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:

5.6.1.10.

All bulk plants shall be designed with an oil/water separator, acceptable to the

Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change.

 

Safety Assessment

Several features and risk mitigation measures exist to ensure that the refuelling of the mobile

tankers can be performed safely without an oil-water separator. These features are outlined below:

 

1. During fueling the operator remains within approximately 2 meters of the fuel connection and

emergency stop device. This allows for an immediate operator response in the event of a concern. Even in the unlikely event of a component failure, operator response will be very rapid to avoid a significant spill.

 

2. The refuelling connection is a double dry-break connection so that upon disconnect, the

contents from the truck and the fueling couplings are contained. It is a standard operating

requirement that the operator places a containment pan under the fuel connection during the

connection, fueling process, and disconnection of the truck. Any minor drips or spills during the

connection process will be captured.

 

3. Fuel tanker overfill prevention will be ensured using a Scully Intellitrol system which is

interlocked to ensure that the vehicle cannot be inadvertently overfilled. This equipment is the

same as and meets the safety standards of fuel transfer equipment at major distribution terminals.

 

4. The fuel facility is equipped with numerous global emergency stop devices (situated at all

fueling locations) to immediately stop the flow of ALL fuel in the event of a leak or spill. During

the tanker refueling process, the operator procedure requires that the driver remain in attendance

at the fuel connection point which is within approximately 2 meters of an emergency stop device.

This proximity will help ensure that the equipment can be shut down to prevent any significant spill during the tanker refuelling process.

 

5. The fuel facility is equipped with a large readily accessible spill containment kit in the

event of a leak or spill. This kit includes spill booms, spill mats, absorbent materials, collection

drums, and spill/drip trays. These materials are stored on site.

 

6. The bulk fuel tanker will be positioned inside a spill containment “lane” when it is

being loaded. A fuel-resistant liner will be buried below the truck loading area and covered

with a granular cap. The ends of the lane will be closed off with spill containment

socks/booms to provide containment.

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