NOTICE OF COMPLETION – ADDENDUM TO THE FRONT STREET
WASTEWATER PUMPING STATION WASTEWATER DIVERSION SCHEDULE
B MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

Study Background
In 2019, the Region of Peel completed a Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study to address wastewater flows from the Front Street Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) catchment area to align with the Region’s long-term sustainable plan to provide wastewater services. When the EA was completed, a Feasibility Study began to review alternate design configurations to maximize the Region’s investment. The Feasibility Study identified an opportunity to move the proposed Richards Memorial Sewage Pumping Station to Jack Darling Memorial Park.
Since completion of the Feasibility Study, the Region of Peel has prepared an Addendum to the 2019 Class EA Study that includes the following Preferred Solution:
• Elimination of the new pumping station identified at Richard’s Memorial Park
• Construction of a new pumping station at Jack Darling Memorial Park

An Addendum Report to the 2019 Class EA Study has been prepared to summarize the study process and recommendations, and is now available for a 30-day public review period from December 8, 2022 until January 13, 2023. The report is available electronically at the following location: peelregion.ca/construction under the Environmental Assessments

Interested persons may provide written comments by January 13, 2023 via email directly to the Region Project Manager, Lyle LeDrew (lyle.ledrew@peelregion.ca) or discussed via telephone (905-791-7800, ext. 7836). In addition, a request may be made to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks for an order requiring a higher level of study (i.e., requiring an individual/comprehensive EA approval before being able to proceed), or that conditions be imposed (e.g., require further studies), only on the grounds that the requested order may prevent, mitigate, or remedy adverse impacts on constitutionally protected Aboriginal and treaty rights.

Requests on other grounds will not be considered. Requests should include the requester contact information and full name for the ministry.

Requests should specify what kind of order is being requested (request for additional conditions or a request for an individual/ comprehensive environmental assessment), how an order may prevent, mitigate, or remedy those potential adverse impacts, and any information in support of the statements in the request. This will ensure that the ministry is able to efficiently begin reviewing the request.

The request should be sent in writing or by email to the Region of Peel and to:
Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks
