Disposal location closures
We make best efforts to keep the disposal locations open. However, we may not be able to accept hauled sewage due to poor weather conditions, operational difficulties or other issues at the receiving facility.
Staff will notify registered sewage haulers of closures as they happen as best as possible.
Special disposal requests
Disposal requests should be made as far in advance as possible with the operations manager or operator-in-charge for the facility. Requests for after-hours disposals for special events (multiple loads or unusual circumstances) must be done 48 hours in advance.
After hours and special project disposal
The treatment plants may be able to accept disposals outside of regular disposal hours.
Haulers must meet the necessary requirements for after hours or special projects.
- Request for after hours or special projects must be submitted by email to environmentalenforcement@niagararegion.ca
- Written approval must be obtained for after hours or special projects before any disposals
Emergency after hour disposals
If an emergency after hours disposal is needed, haulers must:
- Contact the operator-in-charge of the facility to arrange approval. If the operator-in-charge cannot be reached, call Niagara Region Dispatch at 1-800-263-7215.
- Written or verbal manager approval must be obtained before any emergency disposal
No person may discharge sewage or remain on-site after the hours of operation unless previously arranged with the wastewater treatment plant operations manager or operator-in-charge.
Haulers must obtain written permission from the operations manager for the disposal facility, such as an email response from the manager.
