Start the process to appeal
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:

- 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

What is considered
The appeal body will consider the following two questions in deciding whether to grant you leave to appeal:

- could the decision you wish to appeal result in significant harm to the environment?

In your notice, please include a brief description of the:

Original proposal
Proposal details
This proposal is for a new Environmental Compliance Approval (waste disposal site) for 2419787 Ontario Inc., the operator of a waste processing facility located at 2355 McGee Side Road in Carp, Ottawa, Ontario. A 6.4 hectare portion of the 15.75 hectare site will be used as a hydrovac soil processing facility.
The site receives slurry from hydrovac vehicles from multiple sites in eastern Ontario and dry soil is generated by physical water separation. The maximum daily receiving rate will be 250 tonnes of liquid soil and a maximum total storage capacity of 5,000 tonnes of soil at any one time. The maximum amount of truck traffic will be 25 trucks per day.
Soil is tested and then largely used for beneficial reuse on a separate part of the property in compliance with an Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNRF) Aggregate license, since the soil typically meets Table 1 Background standards. Some soil and aggregate material are recovered for recycling and for beneficial reuse at other appropriate properties. Residual soil which does not meet reuse criteria is transported and disposed of at a permitted off-site treatment or disposal facility in accordance with existing Waste Management Environmental Compliance Approval requirements.
Separated water is managed though on-site settlement ponds and tested weekly. A groundwater monitoring plan also is in place.
Receiving, processing and shipping may take place between 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. The site also occasionally provides hydrovac services outside typical operating hours (e.g., after hours and weekends).
