Manitoba Commission limits waste disposal and sewage overflow
The Manitoba Clean Environment Commission issued orders on a waste disposal ground and a sewage lagoon system. The Local Government District of Pinawa faces a five year overflow study with strict testing, reporting, and schedule rules to prevent groundwater contamination and odor, plus constraints on discharge between November and May 15. Swan River Town seeks continued operation with trenches limited to ten feet, separation of bulky metal, no petroleum dumping, a clay lined septic pit, and immediate burial of dead livestock.
