Decision details
The application for the Permit to Take Water was cancelled by the ministry due to the amendment of the Ontario Water Resources Act (OWRA) to exempt water takings for the construction or operation of a dam within the meaning of the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act (LRIA) and for dams associated with the production of electricity.
No permit was issued and the ministry closed the file on August 26, 2020.
