Notice of study commencement
Environmental Assessment – Connection new Caledon east well #6
Background
The Region of Peel owns and operates the Caledon East/Palgrave Drinking Water System, a groundwater-based system, supplying drinking water to the communities of Caledon East, Palgrave, Palgrave Estates, Mono Road, Albion, Centreville, and Cedar Mills, in the Town of Caledon. The system is currently supplied by six (6) municipal groundwater sources located in Palgrave and Caledon East.
Class EA Study Process
A Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study is being initiated to plan for the connection of the new Caledon East Well #6, located on the north side Castlederg Road just east of Airport Road, to the existing Caledon East/Palgrave Drinking Water System.
This new groundwater well will provide additional supply capacity to the existing Caledon East/Palgrave Drinking Water System. The Class EA study is being conducted according to the requirements of a Schedule ‘B’ project of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 & 2015).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate and identify the preferred infrastructure improvements to the water supply system in the Caledon East/Palgrave Drinking Water System.
We will consult the public, review agencies, Aboriginal Communities and First Nations Groups throughout the Class EA study. A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held in association with this study. Notices for the PIC will be published in local newspapers, on the Region’s website and distribute to all individuals who express an interest in this project.
