How to Appeal
This instrument decision can be appealed. You have 15 days from July 19, 2023 to begin the appeal process.
Carefully review the information below to learn more about the appeal process.
How to appealClick to Expand Accordion
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 name, phone number, fax number (if any), and/or email address
- 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
- whether the decision could result in significant harm to the environment
- the reason(s) why you believe that no reasonable person – having regard to the relevant law and to any government policies developed to guide decisions of that kind – could have made the decision
- the grounds (facts) you’ll be using to appeal
- the outcome you’d like to see
- A copy of the instrument (approval, permit, order) that you you are seeking leave to appeal. You’ll find this in the decision notice on the Environmental Registry
- Copies of all supporting documents, facts and evidence that you’ll be using to appeal
What is considered
The appeal body will consider the following two questions in deciding whether to grant you leave to appeal:
- 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?
- 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:
- decision that you wish to appeal
- grounds for granting leave to appeal
You can provide notice by email at minister.mecp@ontario.ca or by mail at:
College Park 5th Floor, 777 Bay St.
Toronto, ON
M7A 2J3
3. Mail your application
You’ll need to mail your application that you prepared in step #1 to each of these three parties:
- appellate body
- issuing authority (the ministry official who issued the instrument)
- proponent (the company or individual to whom the instrument was issued)

Original proposal
Proposal details
A risk assessment was undertaken for this property to establish the risks that the contaminants identified in the risk assessment may pose to future users and to identify appropriate risk management measures to be implemented to ensure that the property is suitable for the intended industrial/commercial/community property use defined by O. Reg. 153/04.
Our review of the risk assessment involved the following reports, documents and information/correspondence:
- “Risk Assessment Report for 677 Erie Street, Stratford, Ontario”, report prepared by Intrinsik Corp., dated December 23, 2019
- “A Revised Risk Assessment Report of 677 Erie Street, Stratford, Ontario”, report prepared by Intrinsik Corp., dated May 14, 2021
- “A Second Revised Risk Assessment of 677 Erie Street, Stratford, Ontario”, report prepared by Intrinsik Corp., dated July 12, 2022
Based on the documents provided to us as part of the risk assessment report, the reviewers can confirm that the risk assessment has been conducted in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act (the Act), Ontario Regulation 153/04 (the Regulation), and the associated guidance documents. The director provided the proponent with written Notice of the Director’s Decision to accept risk assessment number 6178-BE7QWE relating to the property in accordance with section 168.5 of the Act on January 20, 2023.
The director is considering the issuance of a CPU in relation to the site. The proposed CPU incorporates the risk management measures proposed in the risk assessment and additional conditions proposed by the director. The proposed CPU number 5154-CMRMM9 is attached.
