Bulletin summary

This decision is for a new Permit to Take Water for dewatering and remediation purposes for Graham Construction and Engineering LP. Water will be taken from four (4) wells related to construction activities, located in the City of Toronto, Ontario.

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.

Ontario Regulation 115/20 was revoked on June 15, 2020, however, we are posting this decision as a bulletin because the proposal was posted on May 22, 2020, while Ontario Regulation 115/20 was in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# 019-1794 for public comment from May 22, 2020 - June 21, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
