The Regional b ur eal C p Ap Municipality of Halton NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ACTON WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY HALTON The Regional Municipality of Halton has retained Dillon Consulting Limited to prepare a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for increasing wastewater treatment capacity for the community of Acton, to service current and future development. The Acton Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), located at 1202 Churchhill Road, is currently operating near its rated capacity of 4,545 m3/d. Additional treatment capacity of approximately 2,836 m3/d is required to accommodate "build-out" of the Acton urban envelope. The project is being completed as a Schedule "C" project under the Municipal Class EA (2000). This type of project is subject to the full Class EA process and requires public and agency consultation. The purpose of the Class EA study is to identify a preferred solution for increasing wastewater treatment capacity and to identify a preferred design of any new facilities or infrastructure (if required). Technical issues, cost and potential impacts on the natural, social and cultural environment will be considered in the evaluation of alternative solutions and selection of the preferred design. The plant releases treated water effluent to the environmentally sensitive Black Creek just west of Churchill Road and will require special attention throughout the study. The impact assessment of the preferred design will be documented in an Environmental Study Report and placed on the public record for the required 30-day review period. If the Minister of the Environment receives no Part II Order requests, the construction of any new facilities or infrastructure (if required) may proceed to detailed design and construction. Opportunities for public and agency consultation will occur throughout the project. A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be scheduled as the project proceeds. Notices will be published in the local newspapers and on the Region's website (www.halton.ca) and distributed to all individuals expressing an interest in the project.
