Administrative By-Law 2

The purpose of the Hearing Procedures is to guide the Kawartha Conservation Hearing Board in conducting hearings under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act. These procedures reflect the changes to the 1998 Conservation Authorities Act. The Act requires that the applicant be party to a hearing by the local Conservation Authority Board, for an application to be refused or approved with contentious conditions. Further, a permit may be refused if in the opinion of Kawartha Conservation the proposal adversely affects the control of flooding, pollution or conservation land, and additional erosion and dynamic beaches. In addition, a Hearing may be convened at the request of a holder of a permission (“permit holder”) when it is Kawartha Conservation's intention to cancel a permission. Ontario Regulation 182/06, pursuant to the Conservation Authorities Act, provides for the cancellation of permissions (a permit or other form of written authorization), if Kawartha Conservation is of the opinion that the conditions of the permit have not been met.
