B6 - The Canadian Champion, Fridav. Seotember 7. 2007 Datelno NOTICE'OF COMMENCEMENT AND PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE SOUTH HALTON WATER AND WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN UPDATE MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDY The Study Halton Region has initiated an update to its Water and Wastewater Master Plan to identify a preferred servicing strategy to accommodate growth to the year 2021. In 2002, a comprehensive master servicing strategy (Halton Water and Wastewater Master Plan Review, 2002) was prepared to address the Region's water and wastewater servicing needs within the 2016 planning horizon. This update will review the recommendations from the previous study in the context of the current regulatory environment and planning estimates; provide alternatives to revise and update the plan; and identify a preliminary preferred servicing strategy for consideration and comment. The South Halton study area (refer to map) includes the urban areas of Burlington, Oakville and Milton as well as the Halton Hills 401 Corridor. The Process The study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements for master plans under Section 4, Approach #2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) (Municipal Engineers Association, 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 intent of the master plan is to fulfill all of the Class Environmental Assessment requirements for Schedule B projects (those having a minimal environmental impact and require only a screening) as well as completing Phases 1 & 2 of the process for Schedule C projects (those with a greater degree of environmental impact). Projects identified as Schedule C undertakings will proceed to Phases 3 & 4 of the Class Environmental Assessment process following the completion of the master plan, which entails additional study and consultation. As a part of the study, a Public Information Centre (PIC) is planned to provide background information on the study and the revisions to the previous plan being considered, including a rationale for the changes. It will also present the preliminary preferred servicing strategy (subject to public comment and agency review), associated impacts and proposed mitigation measures. Representatives from Halton Region and its consultants will be present at the PIC to answer questions and discuss the next steps in the study. The PIC is scheduled for: Date: lime: Location: Wednesday September 19,2007 5:30 pm to 9.00 pin Halton Regional Administrative Building, Auditorium 1151 Bronte Road, Oakville You are encouraged to attend the PIC and provide your comments so that they may be included in the study. Comments received through the course of the study will be considered in finalizing the recommended servicing strategy. Comments and information regarding this project are being collected to assist the project team in meeting the requirements of the Class EA process. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record. Upon completion, a master plan will be prepared to document the planning process followed, including conclusions and recommendations, and how public input was received and considered. The document will be available for public review for a period of 30 calendar days. At that time, notification of the review period and master plan viewing locations will be made by means of a similar newspaper notice and a letter mailed to those on the project contact list.
