This ERO proposal says "Ontario is proposing to make residential foundation drainage systems exempt from requiring a PTTW for water taking of up to 379,000 litres of water per day". In other words, building permits would be granted in flood plains. This is just plain wrong.

Please do not proceed with this proposal. Conservation authorities cannot manage water levels if they are unaware of potential water-taking projects.

I have been voting Conservative for 55 years. When Covid hit in the winter of 2020, Doug Ford was heard every other day talking to the people helping them to deal with the unknown. He had to make a lot of hard decisions.

Regulation Amendment
Environmental Protection Act, R.S.O. 1990
RE: Streamlining permissions for water takings for construction site dewatering activities and foundation drains
Read more
I am very concerned about the streamlining proposals that are described in this ERO. Specifically, I worry that eliminating critical government and public scrutiny from some projects could have significant impacts on the environment and human health.

Je n'ai malheureusement pas eu le temps d’étudier en détail tout les changements présents dans ces propositions.

This proposal comes across as careless without sufficient management. Our water is one of our sacred resources and we lack sufficient management and oversight to minimize current negative impact.

I do not agree with the proposal to streamline permissions for water taking and dewatering. We do not need fewer regulations. We need to ensure the safety of our water.

I DO NOT SUPPORT these regulatory amendments to the Environmental Protection Act. I am deeply concerned about the potential harm and damage to the environment and species at risk, as well as the risks to human health and the potentially devastating impacts on rural agriculture and eco-tourism.
