A developer faces hefty penalties for failing to properly maintain a private sewage facility and allowing human effluence to leak into the environment.
A B.C. property developer has been handed nearly $200,000 in administrative penalties for failing to maintain a wastewater system that leaked human effluence into an orchard-turned-vineyard and a public road.
The latest penalties, handed to Aantjes in June, come after years of alleged violations of provincial regulations. Between 2013 and 2022, the ministry carried out nine inspections, issued four warnings and four administrative penalty referrals. Then, in April 2022, the ministry issued three penalties totalling $19,300, that have since been paid.
Aantjes said he couldn’t speak to all of the allegations levelled against him by the province because staff manage the day-to-day operation of the wastewater facility. He said the details would be addressed in his appeal to the province.
