Twinning of the Meadowvale North and Streetsville Transmission Mains

Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment

Notice of study commencement

Background

The Region of Peel has initiated a Study for the Twinning of the Meadowvale North and Streetsville Transmission Mains to meet the Region's growing water demands. As part of the Study, alternative routes for the new transmission mains are being examined. There are two sub-segments to this route: from Herridge Pumping Station to the Streetsville Reservoir, and from the Streetsville Pumping Station to the Meadowvale North Reservoir. The alternative transmission main routes will be comparatively evaluated in consideration of several evaluation criteria and the opportunity for public feedback leading to the selection of a preferred route.

This Class EA will explore solutions to provide water transmission capacity that is essential to service future community growth and development to 2051. The Study will also consider opportunities for resiliency and security, operational flexibility, and system maintainability to continue to provide safe and reliable water servicing.

Study process

The Study is being performed in accordance with the Schedule C process in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA), 2024, which includes defining the problem and/or opportunity, identifying and evaluating alternatives, selecting a preferred alternative, identifying potential impacts on the environment, and developing appropriate mitigation measures. As part of this Study the Region will be:

Holding public and agency stakeholder meetings
Providing a solution that best meets the needs of existing and future servicing areas
Investigating alternative long-term servicing strategies, routes, and design concepts
Confirming the preferred plan, including routes, design, and schedule

Your input is important

Consultation with review agencies, Indigenous Communities, and the public is an important component of the MCEA. Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held during the Study period to obtain input from the public for consideration by the Region. The first PIC is planned for Fall 2025 to present the alternative routes, evaluation, and recommended route. Once the Study is complete, an Environmental Study Report will be prepared and made available for comment.
