On October 16, 2017 a sole director for the company Power Grow
Systems Inc. was convicted for failing to comply with the terms and
conditions of a Provisional Certificate of Approval for a period of
approximately four months from April 11, 2015 until August 11,
2015.
The individual was the sole director of the company that was
operating under a Provisional Certificate of Approval
("CoA") that set out the terms and conditions for the
operation. The CoA limited the amount of wood waste permitted to be
stored on the property to a maximum of 1,000 tonnes.
During a routine inspection, the Ministry of the Environment and
Climate Change ("MOECC") found that the amount of wood
waste appeared to exceed the 1,000 tonnes permitted. During the
investigation, the MOECC found that there was approximately 4,230
tonnes of wood waste stored on the property. The MOECC concluded
that the excess wood waste started to accumulate on the property
April 8, 2015.
