Snow Storage Sites Analysis and Conceptual Design Project

Background

Peel Region has begun a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate snow storage opportunities at selected Region of Peel (and one Town of Caledon) owned properties. The snow storage sites identified will provide near and long-term snow storage solutions that are environmentally sound and acceptable for the Region and its area municipalities.

Process

In accordance with the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Class EA document (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015) snow storage facilities are “Schedule A” or pre-approved projects. However, the Region is following a Schedule B Municipal Class EA planning framework for this study to allow for the evaluation of snow storage siting opportunities in consultation with key stakeholders, regulatory agencies, and the public.

Your Input is Important:

The study including conceptual designs is expected to be completed in Spring 2023. One virtual Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held to present the findings of the EA study and provide opportunities to give feedback to the project team. The PIC will be a narrated video to present the snow storage sites considered and planning process. Once the study is complete, results may be published in a Project File Report and made available for public review and comment. Facility design and construction of preferred snow storage facilities is to be determined by the Region on an individual basis.
