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:

Proposition initiale
Détails de la proposition
Liquid Fuels Handling Code (LFHC) Requirements that Would Not be Met:
3.5.2. Tanks and tank compartments shall have a maximum individual capacity of 80,000 L and a maximum aggregate capacity of 200,000 L.
Note: This Clause does not apply to cardlocks/keylocks located at bulk plants.
Why the Code Would Not be Met
Clause 3.5.2 of the Liquid Fuels Handling code limits the aggregate capacity for aboveground tanks to 200,000 L. However, in the past years the site run out of fuel causing backup on highway transport. To avoid this issue and to ensure adequate fuel supply the facility capacity needs to be increased. The facility is located in the Northern Ontario with limited options for fuelling in the area.
Safety Assessment
- Tank overfills are a leading cause of spills associated with aboveground fuel storage tanks. To prevent this, all tanks will be equipped with three stages of overfill prevention.
- Stage 1 – high level warning alarm / light which will signal the delivery driver that a specific tank is reaching “Full” status. This warning will be triggered by the tank level monitor, sounding a warning buzzer and illuminating a warning light at the offload pump control panel adjacent to the offload pumps. This alarm will be initiated when the tank is approximately 90% full, allowing the driver to verify progress and safely complete offloading.
- Stage 2 – cUL approved mechanical overfill prevention valve installed in the tank fill connection to stop fuel transfer into the tank at 95% in accordance with LFHC 2017.
- Stage 3 – critical high level alarm light and shutdown of any offloading pump associated with the tank which is being (over)filled. This approach will safeguard against any loss of product due to overfills.
- The storage tank facility will be fully enclosed by a 6 ft tall chain link fence with lockable access gates and privacy slats. This fencing will prevent unauthorized persons from accessing the tanks and associated piping.
- The storage tank facility area will be equipped with automatic pole mounted yard lighting for visibility and safety.
- Traffic protection will be installed around the tank area perimeter to provide protection from vehicle damage.
- The existing Cardlock operation is equipped with an oil water separator to capture and process any fuel spillage. This provides additional containment in the unlikely event of a tank area fuel spill.
- The storage tank facility will be approximately 60 meters from the nearest building and 45 meters from the closest public roadway.
- The facility will be equipped with 4 emergency stop devices (ESD). The activation of any ESD which will stop ALL fuel pumping and dispensing operations. ESD’s will be situated at Cardlock, Point of Sale, Building Exterior, and Tank Farm / Offloading area.
TSSA assesses that there is likely to be no environmental impact should this variance be granted.
