The Process Figure 1 ­ Approximate Study Limits The study is being conducted in accordance with the approved requirements of a Schedule `B' project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (June 2000), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA process includes public and review agency consultation, an evaluation of alternatives, an assessment of the potential environmental effects of the proposed improvements, and identification of reasonable measures to mitigate any adverse impacts that may result. The map above shows the approximate limits of the study area. As part of the Study, a Public Information Centre is planned for early 2007 to present the project to the public and government review agencies for review and comment. The Public Information Centre will provide background information on the study and the various alternatives considered, including a comparative analysis of those alternatives. Representatives from the Region and its consultant Earth Tech will be present at the Public Information Centre to answer questions and discuss the next steps in the study. Notification of the Public Information Centre will be provided at the appropriate time by means of a similar advertisement in this newspaper. Upon completion, a Class EA Report will be prepared to document the planning process followed, including conclusions and recommendations, and how public input was received and considered. The Class EA Report will be available for public review for a period of 30 calendar days. At that time, notification of the review period and Class EA Report locations will be made by means of a similar newspaper notice and a letter mailed to those on the project contact list.
