Highway 50 to Hardwick Road watermain replacement
Notice of study commencement
Background
Peel Region has initiated a Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) study for the watermain replacement from Highway 50 to Hardwick Road, in the Town of Caledon. The existing 300mm diameter watermain is aging and requires replacement to improve water quality and reliability. The MCEA Study will develop and evaluate a variety of watermain alignment alternatives that will consider the existing environment as well as stakeholder input.
Process
This notice signals the commencement of the MCEA Study, which will define the problem, identify and evaluate alternatives, and determine a preferred solution in consultation with the Town of Caledon, regulatory agencies and stakeholders. The MCEA Study is being conducted in compliance with Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2023), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
Your input is important
Public and agency consultation is a key element of the MCEA Study process and input will be sought throughout this study. Upon completion of the MCEA Study, a Project File Report (PFR) will be prepared and placed on the public record for a minimum 30-day review period. The PFR will detail the planning and consultation process and the preferred alternative.
Comments received through the course of the Study will be considered and documented in the PFR. Additional information related to the MCEA Study and consultation process may be obtained through the project webpage.
Online Public Information Centre
An online Public Information Centre has been arranged to provide details regarding the MCEA Study, including project background, developed alternatives, evaluation of alternatives, proposed mitigation measures and next steps.
Online public engagement provides an opportunity for residents, businesses, and interested members of the public to review and comment on the evaluation of alternatives, including selection of the recommended alternative.
How to get involved
Please submit any comments, questions, or concerns by Monday, October 21, 2024. Any input received by that date will be incorporated into the Project File Report, which will be available for public review when the study is completed.
