Update Announcement

Permit number 4812-BPZJRK was revoked and replaced with permit number 2677-BW5LFV on December 10, 2020 to correct an administrative issue with the preceding permit. The new permit imposes the same terms and conditions as the previous permit.

Bulletin summary

An amendment to existing Permit No. 8342-B8HK9Y was issued to support Penguin-Calloway (Vaughan) Inc. project for dewatering activities related to a proposed construction at 175 Millway Avenue, in Vaughan, Ontario.

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.

Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consult with the public on this proposal by posting ERO# 019-1670 for public comment from April 28, 2020 - May 28, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
