Application for an Amendment to a Ministry of Environment Operational Certificate Under the Provisions of the Environmental Management Act
The Corporation of the City of Vernon, 3400 30th Street, Vernon BC, V1T 5E6, has submitted an application to the Director to amend Operational Certificate (OC) ME-12215, issued October 31, 1997 and last amended February 25, 1999 which authorizes the discharge of reclaimed wastewater to ground by irrigation, and effluent that is surplus to the needs of the irrigation system to Okanagan Lake, from a municipal sewage collection system and sewage treatment system.

-----------
Any person who may be adversely affected by the proposed amendment and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 30 days after the last date of posting, publishing, service or display, send written comments to the City of Vernon at 3400 30th Street, Vernon BC, V1T 5E6, with a copy of the written comments to be provided to the Assistant Regional Manager, Ministry of Environment, Environmental Protection Division at 102 Industrial Place, Penticton, BC, V2A 7C8.

DON QUIXOTE NOTE: The outfall system valued at $3,395,161 on Vernon's books should be fully paid after 2007 and this item will disappear from your Tax Bill if you were one of the lucky ones who was paying for it the last 20 years. The answer to the Premier's question is there are 1,000,000 litres in a megalitre.
