Bulletin summary

A new Environmental Compliance Approval has been issued to Cielo Vista Farms, located on Part of Lot 7, Concession 7, Municipality of Leamington, County of Essex. The approved works include domestic wastewater treatment system servicing the greenhouse bunkhouses, discharging to the Hooker Drain adjacent to the property.

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.

Ontario Regulation 115/20 was revoked on June 15, 2020, however, we are posting this decision as a bulletin because the proposal was posted on April 29, 2020 while Ontario Regulation 115/20 was in effect.

Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consult with the public on this proposal by posting ERO No. 019-1711 for public comment from April 29, 2020 to June 13, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
