Bulletin summary

We have issued a new Permit to Take Water No. 5576-BP4L6Z on June 2, 2020, which cancels and replaces Permit to take Water No. 5075-AQ5KWH for CRH Canada Group Inc. (Dufferin Aggregates, a division of CRH Canada Group Inc.) located in Kawartha Lakes, Ontario.

The new Permit to Take Water has an expiry date of May 20, 2030.

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Ontario Regulation 115/20 was revoked on June 15, 2020, however, we are posting this decision as a bulletin as because the proposal was posted on April 20, 2020 while Ontario Regulation 115/20 was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# 019-1652 for public comment from April 20, 2020 - May 20, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
