Why consultation isn't required
The ministry responded to an urgent and unforeseen need to access funds held by the Crown to address the critical requirement to operate the leachate pumping station and prevent overflows of toxic leachate to the environment.
Cessation of operations at the site would have resulted in the pumps being turned off and the uncontrolled discharge of toxic leachate into the environment. In order to prevent the discharge of untreated, toxic leachate from the site to the natural environment, the ministry needed to take immediate action as there were no immediate sources of funding available from the company following the death of the company's sole director, no directing mind.
Exception details
Mansteel is the current owner of the Site and the person to whom Amended Environmental Compliance Approval Number 5377-9CXPXG (“ECA”) was issued on April 29, 2014. Condition 11 of the ECA requires the provision of the financial assurance to pay for any incurred or potential expenditure by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (“Ministry”) to carry out any environmental measure, including any obligation of the owner in connection with the Works, as defined in the ECA, which is imposed by any other provision of the ECA, any order, or the Environmental Protection Act (“EPA”), Ontario Water Resources Act (“OWRA”) or any regulations made thereunder.
Following the death of the company's sole director on June 17, 2024, the Ministry was advised by the company's lawyer that there were no funds for the continued operation of the site.
On July 11, 2024, the Director issued an order under section 136(1) of the Environmental Protection Act, to allow the use financial assurance currently being held by Ontario. The funds will allow the ministry ensure the continued management and operation of the leachate management system at the site.
