Decision details

The decision is to refuse the renewal to Permit to Take Water No. 1066-BJAQXM for Bayou Cable Park Inc. for recreational purposes. Water was requested to be taken from two streams in The Blue Mountains, Ontario. 

The application was refused as it was inconsistent with the Ontario Regulation (O. Reg.) 387/04 (water taking and transfer) and PTTW Program policies related to reserving water and that additional, updated technical input is required to address for the potential for environmental impacts.

Details of the requested water taking are as follows:
