    Notice of completion - December 1, 2023

    Supply capacity increase for Palgrave Well 4. The Class EA Study and preferred solution

    The Class EA Study

    Peel Region has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study to identify the upgrades/modifications to the existing Palgrave Well #4 Water Treatment Plant required to accommodate the proposed increase in water taking capacity of the existing municipal production well, Palgrave Well #4. An increase in water taking is necessary to enhance the security of supply in the Palgrave/Caledon East Drinking Water System and meet the long-term water needs of the serviced area.

    The study has been conducted in accordance with the requirements of a Schedule ‘C’ project under the Municipal Class Environmental (Class EA) Assessment document (March 2023) which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA study included a comprehensive assessment of alternatives to accommodate additional treatment capacity in the existing Palgrave Water Treatment Plant. The Class EA study has identified the preferred recommended solution, comprising the following upgrades to the existing Palgrave Water Treatment Plant, located at 9 Buckstown Trail:

    • Replacement of the existing greensand filters with larger units
    • Twinning the existing chlorine contact pipe
    • Replacement of the existing indoor diesel emergency standby genset with a larger natural gas genset unit.

    All works associated with the proposed upgrades will be contained within the existing building footprint. A building expansion will not be required. Construction work will be limited within the existing property boundaries. The preferred solution has been selected to minimize potential impacts and maximize the opportunity to provide sustainable and reliable water servicing to the Palgrave-Caledon East serviced area.

    Your opinion matters

    An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared to document the planning and decision-making process, as well as consultation efforts, followed in the Class EA Study. By this notice, the ESR is being placed on the public record for a 45-calendar day review period from December 1, 2023 to January 15, 2024. The ESR will be available for public review on the Region’s website.

    Peel Region is committed to ensuring that all Regional services, programs, and facilities are inclusive and accessible for persons. Please contact the Project Manager if you need any accommodations to provide comments or feedback for this study. All requests must be received within the review period.

    Interested persons may provide written comments to our project team on or before January 15, 2024. All comments and concerns should be sent directly to Erin Ihnat at Peel Region by mail or e-mail.

    In addition, a request may be made to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks for an order requiring a higher level of study (i.e., requiring an individual/comprehensive EA approval before being able to proceed), or that conditions be imposed (e.g., require further studies), only on the grounds that the requested order may prevent, mitigate, or remedy adverse impacts on constitutionally protected Aboriginal and treaty rights. Requests on other grounds will not be considered. Requests should include the requester contact information and full name.

    Requests should specify what kind of order is being requested (request for additional conditions or a request for an individual/comprehensive environmental assessment), how an order may prevent, mitigate or remedy those potential adverse impacts, and any information in support of the statements in the request. This will ensure that the Ministry is able to efficiently begin reviewing the request. The Section 16 Order request should be sent to the Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks and the Director of Environmental Assessment Branch. You can submit your request by mail, email or hand delivered it to:

    Hon. Andrea Khanjin, Minister
    Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks
    777 Bay Street, 5th Floor
    Toronto ON M7A 2J3

    and

    Director, Environmental Assessment Branch
    Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks
    135 St. Clair Ave. W, 1st Floor
    Toronto ON, M4V 1P5

    Requests should also be copied to the Region of Peel’s Project Manager, Erin Ihnat by mail or by e-mail. Please visit the ministry’s website for more information on requests for orders under section 16 of the Environmental Assessment Act.
