2796017 Ontario Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)

This proposal is submitted for an amendment to the Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) no. 9604-9GJMYY for Springwood Cottage Resort (SCR) to establish sewage works for the collection, treatment and subsurface disposal of up to 25.60 cubic meters of domestic sewage per day, from a site located at 1018 Blue Heron Ridge, Township of Central Frontenac, County of Frontenac, Ontario. Although there is currently an ECA in place for sewage works (no. 9604-9GJMYY) issued March 13, 2014, the proposed systems referenced in the ECA were never constructed. There are nine sewage treatment systems currently located on the site.

Existing wastewater systems, WWTS 1, WWTS 3, and WWTS 6, are to be decommissioned as are all existing greywater treatment systems. One new sewage treatment system (System A1) is being proposed to work in conjunction with some of the existing sewage system infrastructure currently in place at Springwood Cottage Resort. The combined daily design sewage flow for the buildings that will be serviced by System A1 is 13,550 liters per day. System A1 will transfer 11,000 liters from the balancing tanks to the anaerobic digester tank (AD1) per day. This will then be distributed to a Waterloo basket biofilter tank (BB1). Level IV effluent from BB1 will then be treated for nitrogen in a Waterloo biofilter tank before ultimately being discharged to a shallow buried trench dispersal bed. The septic tank servicing Cottages #1, #2a and #2b will be disconnected from WWTS 1’s Leaching bed and converted into a pump chamber that will transfer wastewater to proposed System A1 via a 50 millimetre diameter forcemain. Cottage #14 will be disconnected from Existing WWTS 4 and its existing pump chamber will be replumbed to transfer wastewater to proposed System A1 via a 50 millimetre diameter forcemain.

Cottages #7, #8, #9, and #10 will be disconnected from existing WWTS 6 and WWTS 7 and connected to a new pump chamber (Pump Chamber A) that will transfer wastewater to System A1 via a 50 millimetre diameter forcemain.
Cottages #9 and #10 will be disconnected from existing WWTS 7 and connected to a new individual pump chambers that will transfer wastewater via a 50 millimetre diameter forcemain to proposed System A1.
