Why consultation isn't required

On April 1, 2020, the Ontario Government made a temporary regulation to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Ontario Regulation 115/20 exempts all proposals for policies, acts, regulations and instruments from posting requirements under the EBR until 30 days after the declared emergency is terminated.

Proposal details

This proposal is for a new Permit to Take Water for the temporary dewatering for the construction of the proposed Morris Village residential development (Stage 5) in the Municipality of Clarence-Rockland. Water will be taken for dewatering of construction excavations to allow for geotechnically sound excavations and provide a safe working environment for those within the excavations.

The groundwater that is removed from the excavations at the subject site is intended to be discharged to the ground surface where it will be re-infiltrated into the overburden.
