Schedule C environmental assessment
Notice of study commencement and Public Notice Centre #1
Background

Figure 1: Inglewood Study area mapClass EA Study Process
A Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study is being initiated to plan for supply capacity and redundancy increase through addition of a new municipal production well to meet the long-term water needs of the serviced area.
Two (2) candidate sites, shown in the adjacent map as Site K (Forks of the Credit Road & McLaughlin Road) and Site 6 (Highway 10 & The Grange Side Road), have been identified as potential areas to develop a new municipal well. Additional groundwater exploration is underway in the southern areas of Inglewood.
The Class EA study is being conducted according to the requirements of a Schedule ‘C’ project of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (February 2024). The purpose of the study is to evaluate and identify the preferred solution to increase the supply capacity and redundancy in the Inglewood DWS and the associated infrastructure improvements.
