The two year extension contains a new requirement to have an inspection of your sewage system(s) conducted by a qualified individual, and the results submitted to MNRF by no later than September 16, 2019. This requirement is a condition of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change decision to deny the Part II order requests that were made concerning the Environmental Assessment for the continuation of cottage lots in Rondeau. Please note: failure to complete and submit a sewage inspection satisfactory to MNRF could jeopardize any further extension in the event that a decision is made to extend cottage lot occupation beyond December 31, 2019.
Sewage systems include all systems that deal with human waste or household waste water. Septic inspections shall investigate and evaluate ALL sewage systems on the cottage lot including outhouses, composting toilets, grey water pits, septic tanks and leaching beds and holding tanks. Existing systems that are no longer used but have not been decommissioned must be included. Cesspools should be identified and will be required to be removed/decommissioned.
