Permit Requirements

A Hauled Liquid Waste Permit Application Form is available for new operators while current operators will receive a renewal application annually.

The following requirements must be met to obtain a Permit:

  • Possession of a Ministry of the Environment, Climate Change and Parks (MECP) Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA)

  • A current WSIB clearance certificate to enter City property.
  • Employees must have a valid NORCAT Photo ID and complete the 'CGS EHS Rules – Service Contracts or CGS is Constructor' course
  • Employees must complete the City's Indoctrination Training for the Sudbury Wastewater Treatment Plant
  • Provide an up-to-date list of all vehicles hauling liquid waste that includes; make and model, year, licence plate, assigned access card (in the case of renewals), and capacity. Unlisted or incorrect vehicles cannot discharge waste, and access cards cannot be shared between vehicles or carriers.
  • A Certificate of Insurance must be included with the renewal application, showing proof of the following minimum insurance liabilities: $2,000,000 Automobile Liability, $2,000,000 Commercial General Liability, and $1,000,000 Environmental Impairment/Pollution Liability. If no proof of pollution liability is listed on the certificate, a letter from your insurance provider must be provided confirming coverage in the event of a spill.

Ensure that applications have been completed in full, supporting documentation is included and payment is provided.

Undocumented vehicles cannot discharge waste, and access cards cannot be shared between vehicles or carriers.

Haulers must maintain compliance with the City’s Sewer Use By-Law 2010-188, City’s Hauled Liquid Waste Discharge Procedure and their issued Permits. Billing accounts must also remain in good standing.

Failure to follow the requirements of the program may result in immediate deactivation of receiving station access cards.
