I, as an individual, agree with the Canadian Environmental Law Association in the following points.
*There will not be an up-front, detailed review by Ministry staff to assess the potential environmental impacts of the specified operations

I am providing a single set of comments in response to the policy and regulation proposals in the following postings on the Environmental Registry of Ontario: ERO #019-6951, ERO #019-6853, ERO #019-6963, and ERO #019-6928 ("ERO Proposals"), as these proposals are intended to implement a single packa

I am a very very concerned citizen who adamantly opposes the streamlining of the permit process. Fast tracking a process, which should take into account a great number of factors before making a decision is risky and careless.

I am very much opposed to this proposed change.
I cannot fathom why you would even be considering it.
Everything to do with the Health of our province deserves More scrutiny- not less.
Please do the RIGHT thing.

This proposal is lack of consultation with municipalities in Ontario. Especially for small municipalities, there is no engineer to review or understand stormwater management design.

As an industrial owner, this proposal shows that the Ministry is removing its responsibility to regulate this industry but increase the burden of industrial owners.

I insist that public consultation MUST be formally included in the application process.
I also insist that Conservation Authorities MUST be involved in planning and oversight of stormwater management on these sites.

We don't believe that the proposed changes are to modernize its environmental permissions to be more efficient for critical infrastructure projects.

There are major concerns in regard to this proposal as it relates to our community in Porcupine, Ontario. There has been 50 years of sewage bypasses going into our small lake and no one paid attention until concerned residents became vocal due to sewage and toilet paper along their docks, etc.

Removing the application and approvals process should never happen! Those protections are there because they need to be there. I am absolutely opposed to any changes to this instrument that will weaken any current processes that protect our environment.

Proper regulation should never be seen as a 'burden'. It has become a 'burden' to those who seek profit over human health. Please uphold and enhance environmental protection. Do not proceed with this proposal as it further erodes protection that was put in place for the right reasons.
A government that doesn't understand or ignores history is destined to repeat mistakes. Under the Harris Government, efforts to reduce oversight and management of drinking water lead directly to the water tragedy in Walkerton.

Improper management of wastewater and stormwater has the potential to cause serious impacts to human and environmental health.
Protecting water quality and quantity and mitigating risk to drinking water sources is the role of government which you are abdicating with these proposed amendments.
