Annual Performance Report for the Stormwater System

There are two types of alterations related to the Township’s CLI-ECA applications:

1. Sanitary (sewage) collection system: All connected sewage collection works within the Township of Wilmot and owned and/or operated by the Township of Wilmot including pumping stations and pipes.
2. Stormwater management system: All connected stormwater management works within the Township of Wilmot and owned and/or operated by the Township of Wilmot, including pipes, stormwater management facilities, and Low Impact Development (LID) infrastructure.

You need to request a CLI ECA alteration for the following types of projects:

• Changing, replacing or extending sanitary sewers and storm sewers, including extensions into new residential developments
• Changes that are on Township-owned property that include parks and community centres serving a single parcel of land
• Adding new sewage pumping stations or changing existing sewage pumping stations
• Adding new stormwater management facilities or changing existing facilities (examples: wet pond, infiltration basins, engineered wetlands, oil grit separators)
• Adding new or changing existing equipment with emissions to air (examples: emergency power generators or venting for odor control) related to sanitary and storm sewers, sewage pumping stations and/or stormwater management facilities

Send us an email if you have any questions or are unsure if your project will need CLI ECA alteration.

You don’t need to apply for a CLI-ECA alteration for privately owned sewage works on industrial or commercial land.

For these projects, you may still need an individual ECA from the MECP or a building permit.
