This notice is for informational purposes only. There is no requirement to consult on this initiative on the Environmental Registry of Ontario. Learn more about the types of notices on the registry.
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 exempted 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# 019-1783 for public comment from May 15, 2020 to June 14, 2020 . To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
Bulletin details
The client will install a 35,000-litre and a 9,500-litre double-wall aboveground storage tank inside a concrete dike (a barrier surrounding the aboveground storage tanks that provides liquid retention capacity). The dike will meet the construction requirements in section 3.3.1.3 of the LFHC. This solution will provide triple-wall containment of the fuel. Three walls provide substantial protection from a potential fuel leak into the environment.
