Notice of Study Commencement No. 2 – Schedule C Class EA
West Caledon Storage Facility and Transmission Main
Study area boundary
Background
The Region of Peel completed the 2020 Water and Wastewater Master Plan for the Lake-based Systems which identified the need to construct a new pressure zone 7 water storage and transmission infrastructure for West Caledon. This Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) will support this recommendation by developing, evaluating, and selecting a preferred storage facility and transmission main route to service the projected growth within the study area to 2051.
Process
The study will follow the Schedule C Municipal Class EA process including:
- Holding public and agency stakeholder engagement 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
- Supporting the phased implementation of the preferred plan
- Confirming the preferred plan including routes, storage sites, design, and schedule
Your input is important
Three Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held to present the findings of the Class EA and to provide an opportunity to give feedback to the project team.
PIC No. 1
Date and Time:Wednesday, November 9th, 2022 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Location: Margaret Dunn Valleywood Library and Community Room, 20 Snelcrest Drive, Caledon, ON L7C 1B5
PIC No. 1 will outline the background and objectives of the study, the Class EA process, the development, evaluation, and recommendation of the preliminary preferred storage type, and the selected preliminary preferred focus area for the new storage facility. Information will be presented on display boards and staff will be available to answer any questions and discuss the next steps in the study. PIC No. 2 is planned for Spring 2023 and will be finalized and published at a later date.
