Letter to Environmental Approvals Branch
Posted:
Together with the International Institute for Sustainable Development and the Lake Winnipeg Indigenous Collective, we reiterate our call for accelerated phosphorus compliance at Winnipeg’s North End Water Pollution Control Centre (NEWPCC). We provide recommendations to support the province’s review of the revised NEWPCC Upgrade Plan, which the province will be receiving from the City of Winnipeg on June 30, 2022. We also call for amendments to the NEWPCC licence to require compliance with the 1 mg/L phosphorus limit upon completion of the plant’s new biosolids facilities.
