                                                     of the facility (refer to Appendix
                                                     4).

                                                     The proposed facility will be
                                                     located away from wetland
                                                     systems and will unlikely impact

                                                     Furthermore, the foundations
                                                     and earthworks are to follow
                                                     engineering design standards
                                                     and stormwater dissipation is
                                                     provided through the proposed

                                                     addition no buildings are
                                                     proposed           and          a

                                                     not a habitable use, therefore
                                                     no effluent run off will occur.

                                                     The proposed facility will also
                                                     have restrictions to prevent
                                                     public access, including a
