Notice of Public Information Centre No.2

Glen Erin Booster Pumping Station
Class Environmental Assessment

The Region of Peel is undertaking a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to select the preferred site for the Glen Erin Booster Pumping Station and Feedermain route alignment, in the City of Mississauga. The project is being proposed as a result of observed low and high water pressures within the study area in the Region of Peel. The observations are consistent with previous modifications to the Region’s pressure zone boundaries. In an effort to resolve these concerns improvements are proposed to regulate pressures in the Region’s Pressure Zones 4 and 5.

The study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of Schedule ‘B’ projects of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (June 2000). The Class EA process includes public and review agency consultation, an evaluation of alternatives, an assessment of the impacts of the proposed works and identification of measures to mitigate any adverse impacts.

Public and review agency consultation is a key element of the Class EA process. The Region wants to ensure that anyone interested in the study has an opportunity to get involved and provide input before any decisions are made on a preferred solution.

A first Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on Jan. 21, 2008 to introduce the project, the alternative sites for the booster pumping station and the feedermain routes, and the evaluation criteria to be used for the selection of the site and the feedermain.

A second PIC is scheduled for:

The purpose of the second PIC is to present the results of the evaluation of site options and feedermain routes, introduce the recommended site for the Glen Erin Booster Pumping Station and its associated feedermain, and the next steps in the study. Staff members from the Region of Peel and KMK Consultants Limited will be available to provide details on the project and discuss your comments.

You are encouraged to attend the PIC and provide your comments so that they may be included in the study. If you are unable to attend the PIC and would like to stay informed, you can visit the Region’s website for study updates: www.peelregion.ca/glen-erinEA.

Please contact either of the following if you wish to be added to the mailing list or if you have any questions or comments, or wish to obtain information about the project.

Information will be collected in accordance with the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. With the exception of personal information all comments will become part of the public record.
