Decision details
On November 30, 2022, we approved a new Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) for Lamoureux Pumping Inc. for a waste disposal site (transfer).
The ECA approves a new waste transfer site for the receipt and transfer of non-hazardous waste limited to liquid organic waste generated from industrial, commercial and institutional sources within Ontario, including:
- slaughterhouse blood and water
- organic waste matter from grease traps and interceptors used for the treatment of wastewater from food or feed processing or preparation facilities
- whey and milk washwater from cleaning the processing equipment and the surrounding area in a facility for processing dairy products
The site will receive and temporarily store the liquid waste in two 200 cubic metre in-ground storage tanks constructed near the northeastern corner of the site. The trucks will load and unload the waste via camlock connections to minimize the chance of spills and odours, and the loading/unloading will take place on an impermeable pad that is equipped to capture and contain the largest potential spill. The in-ground storage tanks are also equipped with a leak-detection system so that any leaks are quickly identified.
The site is approved to receive up to 180 cubic metres of liquid waste per day and 10,400 cubic metres of liquid waste per year, with a maximum storage limit of 400 cubic metres of liquid waste.
The site is approved to operate between 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 5:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday, unless restricted by municipal by-laws.
This decision notice relates to the waste disposal site only.

Start the process to appeal
If you’re an Ontario resident, you can start the process to appeal this instrument decision.
First, you’ll need to seek leave (i.e. get permission) from the relevant appellate body to appeal the decision.
If the appellate body grants leave, the appeal itself will follow.
Seek leave to appeal
To seek leave to appeal, you need to do these three things:
- prepare your application
- provide notice to the minister
- mail your application to three parties
1. Prepare your application
You’ll need to prepare an application. You may wish to include the following things in your application:
- A document that includes:

- your interest in the decision, and any facts you want taken into account in deciding whether you have an interest in the decision
- the parts of the instrument that you’re challenging

What is considered
The appeal body will consider the following two questions in deciding whether to grant you leave to appeal:

- could the decision you wish to appeal result in significant harm to the environment?

In your notice, please include a brief description of the:

Original proposal
Proposal details
This proposal is for a new Environmental Compliance Approval (waste disposal site) for a non-hazardous liquid waste transfer facility, located at 2251 County Road 8 in The Nation Municipality, Ontario.
The proposed waste storage and transfer facility will be used for organic waste, including:
- slaughterhouse blood and water
- grease interceptors
- whey
- milk wash water
It is proposed that the organic waste material be stored in two 200 cubic metre in-ground storage tanks constructed near the northeastern corner of the site. The tanks will be equipped with mixers to prevent the waste from solidifying or freezing. No heating components are anticipated to be added to the units at this time.
It is anticipated that approximately 200 cubic metres of non-hazardous liquid waste will be accepted at the site weekly, and 10,400 cubic metres annually. The organic wastes will be collected from restaurants, slaughterhouses, and cheese factories in eastern Ontario and southern Quebec. The material will be periodically disposed of at a licensed facility.
The site generally operates from:
- 7:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday
- 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday
