Provision of additional wastewater treatment capacity to service the Port Perry Urban Area NOTICE OF 2" PUBLIC pao) INFORMATION CENTRE WORKS DEPARTMENT PUBLIC NOTICE What are the study findings to date? In October 2010, Durham Region initiated a Nonquon River Municipal Class Environmental Assessment WPCP (Class EA) to plan for additional wastewater treatment capacity to service the Port Perry Urban Area. Thus far, the Region has consulted with the public and agencies on the objectives of the study, as well as the servicing options. Based on input received to date, the preferred approach is to provide additional treatment capacity on the existing Nonquon River Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) site by either enhancing the existing treatment process or by constructing a new WPCP. (C)Port Perry Urban Area What stage is the study currently at? The Region is reviewing the various treatment technologies that could potentially be implemented at the existing Nonquon River WPCP site to provide additional capacity. We have developed a preliminary “short-list” orth thes most viable treatment options, which the Region is proposing to carry for further detailed evaluation. We are inviting your input on the various Mieinent technologies to assist us in confirming the “short-listed” options. How can | provide comment?
