G.E. Booth Wastewater Treatment Plant

A Schedule C Class Environmental Assessment (EA) will assess G.E. Booth’s long-term servicing needs.

We strive, through proactive planning and forward thinking, to optimize, upgrade and expand Peel’s wastewater treatment system to meet community needs.

Peel’s 2020 Water and Wastewater Master Plan (2020 Master Plan) outlines our strategy to ensure that wastewater infrastructure services keep meeting treatment needs from 2020 to 2041.

Notice of completion

The Environmental Study Report (ESR) for the G.E. Booth Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) is being made available for public review for a 45-day public review period starting March 13th, 2024 and ending April 27th, 2024, in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class EA process. The ESR documents the environmental assessment process completed, including the evaluation of alternative solutions and technologies, anticipated environmental impacts, mitigation measures, consultation completed throughout the study, and commitments for future work. Please see below for website links to the ESR and respective appendices. Please circulate all comments to the Project Manager at GEBoothEA@peelregion.ca by April 27th, 2024.

Report documents

Other information

We held 3 public consultation opportunities to share the findings of the EA and gave residents the opportunity to give feedback.

An Environmental Assessment is a type of study that assesses the environmental impacts of a project and how to best minimize those impacts.

The Region has initiated a Schedule C Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the G.E. Booth WWTP.

This study:

Clarkson and G.E. Booth Treatment Plants area map

  • Is needed to address the long-term servicing needs as identified in Peel's 2020 Master Plan.
  • Will take approximately 2 years to complete.
  • Is happening at the same time as the Clarkson WWTP Class EA because the system that collects and conveys the wastewater is an integrated system.

The solutions developed through this Class EA will be integrated with the solutions developed for the Clarkson WWTP Class EA to encompass the entire system.

Study goals and objectives

This study is following the Municipal Class EA process for Schedule C projects.

The goal of the Class EA is to develop an innovative, sustainable and flexible treatment solution by:

  • Identifying an overall integrated plan for treating future wastewater needs in Peel, in conjunction with the G.E. Booth WWTP Class EA Study.
  • Establishing treatment requirements for the Clarkson WWTP to the year 2041, with a vision for the longer term beyond 2041.
  • Effectively communicating and consulting with the public and stakeholders.

Study area

The G.E. Booth WWTP Class EA Regional study area includes the entire wastewater system.

The local study area is the plant site and surrounding area.

Study benefits

  • Continued protection of the environment and community
  • Support growth and investment in Peel and help our local economy
  • More flexibility in how we manage our wastewater
  • Development of sustainable solutions that will meet the needs of the Peel community now and in the future
