Specific changes of note include proposed amendments to the
definitions of "noise receptor" and "odour
receptor", which would require a part of the renewable energy
project to actually be constructed on a parcel of land in order for
the exemption from the definition (and corresponding setbacks to
apply); this is in contrast to the current definitions which
require only that the land owner has entered into an agreement with
the developer to permit development of their land. The proposed
changes also include an amendment to the requirement that final
letters from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ministry of
Tourism, Culture and Sport be made available prior to the public
meeting. In response to feedback received from proponents that this
requirement made it difficult to address concerns raised at final
public meetings, these will now be required for a complete REA
submission instead of prior to the final public meeting.
The proposed amendments are available for review and comment
until May 17, 2012 on the Ontario Environmental
Registry. All interested parties are encouraged to
review and comment on the proposed amendments.
