Bulletin summary

The 2020 Closure Plan amendment for the Sugar Zone Project is now filed by the Director of Mine Rehabilitation.

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# 019-1889 for public comment from June 4, 2020 to July 4, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
