Bulletin summary

A new Permit to Take Water No. P-300-8085043519 has been issued to Spacebuilders Ottawa Ltd. on August 24, 2020 for the temporary dewatering for the construction of a proposed residential development located in Clarence, Ontario. The new Permit to Take Water has an expiry date of August 21, 2029.

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Ontario Regulation 115/20 was revoked on June 15, 2020, however, we are posting this decision as a bulletin because the proposal was posted on April 1, 2020 while Ontario Regulation 115/20 was in effect.

Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consulted with the public on this proposal by posting ERO# 019-1596 for public comment from April 1, 2020 - May 1, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
