Is this request for a combined sanitary and storm sewer overflow even legal?

The Notice heading doesn’t note that this innocuous looking 955 Lake Shore Boulevard West address is the public’s Ontario Place, not just a single business or residence. The reader has to go to the Map to see that the discharge would be into the Ontario Place West Channel. The ERO notices should provide key wording . In this case it should have included "Ontario Place" not just a street address. The impact of such a combined flow on Lake Ontario, boaters, swimmers and the Toronto shoreline is also not provided and should be.

Aren’t Toronto and Ontario trying to separate sanitary and storm sewage and treat them separately? If it’s legal does this mean the Province still considers it good public policy to discharge untreated sanitary sewage near an Ontario Place shoreline? How long is the “interim” for? The notice doesn’t provide that and it should.

Is this the proposed flow that was in the papers months ago and that described that the debris and untreated sewage from the combined flow would end up in the channel that boaters and swimming use just to move the discharge away from the proposed large spa?

This proposal isn’t a good idea. Infrastructure Ontario (The Province) should at least treat the sewage before discharging it into the lake.

Attached is an article from 2023 that summarizes a lot of the public's concerns. Have these issues been resolved by the City or the Ontario government?
