Proposal details

This proposal is for an Environmental Compliance Approval (industrial sewage works) for Peel Meat Packers Ltd. for an enclosed non-hazardous liquid waste storage / holding tank. The storage tank is located in Mapleton, Ontario, County of Wellington.

The storage tank is located on a property approximately 40.8 hectares in size that currently operates an abattoir. The storage tank has been pre-existing and operational since 2002, measures approximately 30.48 metres long by 12.19 metres wide by and 2.44 metres deep, and contains a volume of 906.6 cubic metres. The storage tank receives approximately 95,000 litres per week, equalling to approximately 4.9 million litres per year.

The waste from the storage tank is pumped regularly on an as-needed basis and spread onto farming land under two NASM approvals. The integrity of the tank is verified by monitoring the level of waste within the tank during periods of non-operation. The facility operates from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday.
