Authorizations
Letters of authorization are issued under the Sewer Use Bylaw in cases where overall contaminant loads to sanitary sewer are low or where discharges are predicted to have a low impact on collection and treatment systems and/or the receiving environment. Authorizations contain site-specific discharge requirements and best management practices designed to limit the impact of the discharge and the potential for illegal discharges. Authorizations are normally issued without expiry dates and have no sampling or reporting requirements. Inspections are carried out on a periodic basis by Source Control staff.
If you are starting a new business or have an existing business, which discharges to the sanitary sewer operated by the CRD, but are not currently operating under a Permit, Code of Practice, or authorization, please complete the following form.
