Notice of Public Open House #2
Hanlan Feedermain and Mississauga City Centre Watermain
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment

The Study

The Region of Peel, through their consultant AECOM, is currently conducting a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study to select the preferred routes for two new large diameter municipal water pipes in the City of Mississauga. The larger pipe (2.4 m in diameter), called the Hanlan Feedermain, will extend approximately 15 km north from the Lakeview Water Treatment Plant to the existing Hanlan Reservoir and Pumping Station (see map). The smaller pipe (1.2 m in diameter), called the Mississauga City Centre (MCC) Watermain, will extend south from the Hanlan Reservoir and Pumping Station to a connection point with the existing distribution system at the corner of Burnhamthorpe Road and Cawthra Road.

As documented in the Region’s 2007 Water and Wastewater Master Plan Update, the new Hanlan Feedermain is required to meet the Region’s future water supply needs to support planned growth, including intensifi cation in the City of Mississauga. The proposed feedermain will also provide back-up service in the event of a disruption to the existing feedermain (security of supply). Similarly, the new MCC Watermain will support planned intensifi cation in the City of Mississauga, specifi cally to supply minimum water pressures along the Hurontario Street corridor.

Recommended Routes

The recommended Hanlan Feedermain route includes a combination of open cut and tunnel construction south of Lakeshore Road (Lakeview Park) and along Dixie Road, Eastgate Parkway and Tomken Road. An interconnection to the existing Hanlan Feedermain is also proposed along Burnhamthorpe Road. The recommended MCC Watermain route includes a combination of open cut and tunnel construction along Tomken Road, Eastgate Parkway and Cawthra Road. Construction for both pipes is scheduled to start in 2012, although some sections could be advanced for construction with other approved capital works.

Public Open Houses

In June 2008, the first round of Public Open Houses was held to present study background information, potential Hanlan Feedermain routes and the proposed evaluation criteria to determine the preferred route. A second round of Public Open Houses is now planned to present further details about the recommended routes, including construction methods, associated impacts and proposed mitigation measures. Public Open House 2 will consist of informal drop-in centres scheduled for:

Tuesday, June 2, 2009
6 to 9 p.m.
A. A. Martin Public School
1390 Ogden Ave.

Following Public Open House 2, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared to document the planning process followed, including conclusions and recommendations, and how public input was received and considered. Notification of the ESR public review period will be provided by means of newspaper advertisement and direct notifi cation to those on the project mailing list.

Comments

Public consultation is vital to this study. Comments received through the course of this study will be considered in finalizing the preferred routes and construction mitigation measures. If you cannot attend one of the two Public Open Houses, there are other ways you can provide input and/or be kept informed:

• Visit the Region’s website for study updates: www.peelregion.ca/HanlanEA; or
