A residents’ group concerned about the environmental impacts of a commercial/industrial port on Picton Bay has commenced
a legal action against Prince Edward County council.
The group, Save Picton Bay, has made application to the Superior Court of Justice and a hearing will be held October 27th at the
courthouse on Union Street in Picton.
Save Picton Bay will challenge county council’s decision to allow the storage of salt, coke and other materials at Picton Terminals.
Recently, council voted to sanction the operation as a “legal non-conforming use”.
Currently, Picton Terminals is the focus of an investigation by the Ministry of Environment for not covering salt piles according to
regulations.
