Checklist - Sewage Collection Application
Consolidated Linear Infrastructure Environmental Compliance Approval
The Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) has modernized its Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) process, transferring approval responsibilities to the Town of Saugeen Shores.
This updated process is now called the Consolidated Linear Infrastructure Environmental Compliance Approval (CLI ECA).
To support this change, the Town has introduced an online application process for developers seeking municipal CLI ECAs for:
-
The municipal sewage collection system
-
The stormwater management system
The process also integrates the Form 1 – Watermain Application.
Developer and their Engineering Consultant are responsible for completing these forms (similar to the former MECP C of A Application). Please also note, the Ministry's new post-construction requirements.
Application Process
Complete the application package specific to your request(s) (forms listed below).
Submit completed application package(s) using this form: Submit an application for Consolidated Linear Infrastructure Environmental Compliance Approval (CLI ECA).
Visit the Town of Saugeen Shores Municipal Office (600 Tomlinson Dr, Port Elgin, ON) to complete your payment.
