The Appellant, an auto wrecking business, appealed a Director's Order requiring the design and implementation of a storm water management system following a petroleum spill into a nearby creek.
During the protracted pre-hearing process, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) requested and was granted participant status due to its mandate to protect the affected watershed and its status as a downstream property owner.
The Tribunal documented the extensive history of the pre-hearing process, which involved 22 status updates over three years, and adjourned the preliminary hearing to allow the parties to continue developing the required storm water management plan.
