NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION
MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE FORMER CHINGUACOUSY LANDFILL PUMPING STATION AND FORCEMAIN

The Study

The Region of Peel has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to replace a pumping station and a 75 mm diameter forcemain that conveys leachate from the former Chinguacousy Landfill site located at Dixie Road and King Street to the Mayfield Pumping Station located at Mayfield Road and Bramalea Road in the Town of Caledon. The existing forcemain and pumping station are scheduled for replacement. A comprehensive and environmentally sound planning process that incorporates public consultation and involves a wide variety of stakeholders has been completed.

Note – this project is separate from the ongoing/proposed upgrades to the Peel Curing Facility.

The Class EA has determined that the preferred alternative route to replace the existing force main is along King Street. The pumping station located in the former landfill would also be replaced.

The Region has planned this project under Schedule ‘B’ of the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2007, as amended in 2007). The Class EA report has been prepared to document the planning and decision making processes involved. By this Notice, the report is being placed on the public record for a 30-day review period in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class EA. Subject to comments received as a result of this Notice and receipt of necessary approvals, the Region intends to proceed with the construction of this project in the summer of 2009.

The Class EA report is available for review at the following locations starting Wednesday, February 4, 2009:
