This study is being undertaken to update the planning that was completed as part of the 2007 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) process. This Schedule C MCEA project was conducted to identify the preferred strategy to provide wastewater treatment capacity for population and employment growth in the Colborne area.
The 2007 MCEA document is available upon request.
The MCEA planning process (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, and 2015) is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act, which applies to municipal infrastructure projects, including roads, water and wastewater projects. The MCEA provides a consistent, streamlined and easily understood process for planning and implementing infrastructure projects.
As part of the MCEA process, if there is a lapse of time of greater than ten (10) years from the completion of the MCEA to the commencement of construction, the planning and design process and current environmental conditions are required to be reviewed to ensure that the proposed project and mitigation measures are still valid given the current planning context. The Township is now undertaking this review to ensure that the recommendations for the expansion of the Colborne WWTP are still valid.
This MCEA Addendum project is currently in the early stages and additional information will be made available on this page as the project progresses.
