Effects of consultation

The comment received was about the Environmental Registry notice itself and not the proposal to issue the permit. The comment had no impact on the decision to issue the permit.

Third parties are not able to apply for leave to appeal in respect of proposals which were posted while Ontario Regulation 115/20 was in effect between April 1, 2020 and June 14, 2020. Ontario Regulation 115/20 exempted all proposals for instruments from posting requirements under the EBR. Leave to appeal may only be sought in respect of instruments that are required to be posted to the ERO.

Appeals

Appeals are not allowed. This instrument type cannot be appealed.
