Beach Street Sewage Pumping Station Diversion - Notice of Completion
The Study
The Region of Peel has completed a Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) study to review existing sanitary sewer infrastructure and evaluate options to divert flow from the Beach Street Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) to the new Beechwood SPS. The map shows the area that may be directly impacted by the proposed construction.
The Study recommends the following:
- Installation of a new trunk gravity sewer tunnel from the existing Beach Street SPS along Aviation Road and Lakeshore Road East to the Beechwood SPS, and from Aviation Road to East Avenue to provide additional capacity to accommodate development east of East Avenue;
- Open cut replacement of an existing gravity sewer on Hampton Crescent and Lakeside Avenue from Hampton Crescent to Aviation Road to replace aging infrastructure;
- Required upgrades to the Beach Street SPS to meet current Region standards; and,
- Upgrades of the Beach Street SPS will also allow it to be used in contingency operations, including major equipment failure or extreme wet weather events within the sewershed.
Process:
The Study followed the process for Schedule B projects in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2023), with the opportunity for public input throughout the project.
The purpose of this Notice is to inform you that a Project File Report (PFR) has been filed and will be available on the project website from Tuesday April 9, 2024 to Thursday May 9, 2024 for a 30-day comment period. The PFR documents the MCEA process followed, including the identification of existing conditions, a summary of consultation activities, the developed alternative solutions and the evaluation process followed, identification of the preferred solution, and potential impacts, proposed mitigation measures and commitments.
The PFR and other project information are available on the project webpage.
Subject to comments received as a result of this Notice, and the receipt of necessary approvals, the Region of Peel intends to proceed with the design and construction of this project.
