Effects of consultation

No comment was received in response to the ERO notice.

Neighbor notification

  • In response to the Neighbor Notification, a response was received via email on September 11, 2022, from a nearby property, which is used for commercial operations. Though no specific technical concern was raised, the business owner requested that they be provided proper opportunity (retaining a consultant) to evaluate and comment on the proposal.
  • A soft copy of the Design and Operations report was provided to the business owner on September 15, 2022, via email with a request to provide their input by October 15, 2022. No comments received thus far. Since the expansion does not involve approval of additional capacity and the building expansion will improve site operations as processing will take inside the building. We do not anticipate any negative impact on the environment associated with the proposed site expansion.

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:

  1. prepare your application
  2. provide notice to the minister
  3. 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:

  1. A document that includes:

    • the ERO number and ministry reference number (located on this page)
    • a statement about whether you are a resident in Ontario
    • 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

  1. is there is good reason to believe that no reasonable person, with respect to the relevant law and to any government policies developed to guide decisions of that kind, could have made the decision?
  2. could the decision you wish to appeal result in significant harm to the environment?

2. Provide your notice

You’ll need to provide notice to the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks that you’re seeking leave to appeal.

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