The masons for the imposition of these terms and conditions are as follows:

Condition No. 1 is included to define terms used in the Certificate.

Cohdition No. 2 is included to emphasize that the issuance of the certificate does not diminish any other statutory and regulatory obligations to which the owner is subject in the construction, maintenance and operation of the works.

Condition No. 3 is included to clarify how the certificate is to be judicially interpreted and specifically, to clarify that the requirements of the certificate are severable and that they prevail over supporting documentation.

Condition No. 4 is included to emphasize that the owner is under a statutory obligation to ensure compliance with the certificate.

Condition No. 5 is included to ensure that Ministry personnel, when acting in the course of their duties, will be given unobstructed access to the facilities, information and records related to the works which are the subject of this certificate, to enable the Ministry to be assured of the owner's compliance with the terms and conditions of this certificate.

Condition No. 6 is included to clarify the Owner's responsibilities pertaining to the mitigation of adverse impacts in case of non-compliance with the effluent requirements.

Conditions Nos. 7 and 8 are included to ensure that the Ministry Records are kept up to date with respect to the works and to ensure that subsequent owners are made aware of this Certificate.

Condition No. 9 is included to ensure that the works will be operated, maintained, funded, staffed and equipped in a manner enabling compliance with the terms and conditions of this certificate, such that the environment is protected and deterioration, loss, injury or damage to any person or property is prevented.

Conditions Nos. i0 and 12 are included to set out non-enforceable effluent quality objectives which the owner is obligated to use best efforts to strive towards on an ongoing basis. It is the Ministry's experience that setting of such objectives coupled with the bona fide efforts of the operating authority to achieve them tends to assist the operating authority in complying with the generally less stringent effluent requirements specified in Condition No.ll Subsection (2) thereby serving the environmental goals set out in the reason for the latter.

i0. Condition No. ii is imposed to set out the maximum concentrations and related loadings of materials which are allowed in the discharge of effluent from the works to the Lake Ontario. These limits are established to minimize the environmental impact to the receiver and to protect water quality, fish and other aquatic life in the receiving watercourse. They are based on the Ministry's publication entitled "Water Management Goals, Policies, Objectives and Implementation Procedures of the Ministry of the Environment - November 1978, Revised May 1984", and recommendations of the International Joint Commission on the Great Lakes.

ii. Condition No. 13 is included to ensure that the average daily flow and the peak flow rate of sewage through the works are within the approved treatment capacity of the works.

12. Condition No. 14 is included to indicate that bypasses of untreated sewage to the receiving watercourse is prohibited, save in certain limited circumstances where the failure to bypass could result in greater injury to the public interest than the bypass itself, where a bypass will not violate the approved effluent requirements, or where the bypass can be limited or otherwise mitigated by handling it in accordance with an approved contingency plan. The notification and documentation requirements allow the Ministry to take timely abatement and enforcement action in an informed manner and will allow the owner to be aware of the extent and frequency of bypass events.

13. Conditions Nos. 15, 16 and 17 are imposed to ensure that all pertinent information is available for the evaluation of the performance of the sewage works and that disposal of sludge generated at the sewage works is in accordance with the Provincial Sludge Utilisation Guidelines and consistent with requirements of Part V of the Environmental Protection Act.

You may by written notice served upon me and the Environmental Appeal Board within 15 days after receipt of this Notice, require a hearing by the Board. Section 101 of the Ontario Water Resources Act, R.S.O. 1990, C. 0.40, provides that the Notice requiring the hearing shall state:

Dear Ms. Bowen:

RE: CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL (AIR) NO. 8-4212-96-006 ODOUR CONTROL SYSTEM - RAVENSVIEWWPCP

Please f~d enclosed the above noted Certi~cate of Approval.

Based on our technical evaluation and the information submitted with your application, the odour control system is capable of operating within this Ministry's requirements.

However, given the nature of the facility, under certain atmospheric conditions,, odour problems may result o~ the property. Odour is a contaminant, emissions of which may result in an adverse e~ect, which is a violation of section 14 of the Environmental Protection Act, R.S.O. 1990 (Act) and section 6 of Regulation 346, R.R.O. 1990, (previously Regulation 308) enacted under theAct. Therefore, you should exercise all reasonable care to prevent such occurrences.

We emphasize that if, at any time, emissions from the screen building exhaust contravene any part of theAct, Regulation 346, or any conditions included in the above noted Certi~cate, such contravention may become the subject of enforcement in accordance with section 186 of the Act. In addition, the Director may issue an Order or amend or revoke the above noted Certis in accordance with his powers under the Act.
