Bayshore Village Effluent Spray Irrigation System Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Update Notice of Public Information Centre

Details:

• Date: Wednesday, May 22, 2024

The Township of Ramara is updating the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) that was previously completed in 2017 for the effluent spray irrigation system at the Bayshore Village Sewage Works. Treated effluent from the Bayshore Village sewage treatment lagoons is spray irrigated on two fields near Concession Road 8 and Sideroad 20. The Class EA is updating the evaluation of alternatives for effluent disposal to address current capacity and operational issues.

A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held in person and virtually to present the alternative solutions under consideration and the preliminary recommendations, for public input. There will be a presentation at 6:00 pm followed by a question-and-answer period. 

To attend the meeting virtually, please advise the Township of your name and email address before 4:30 p.m. on May 22, so an invitation to join the public meeting can be sent.

The Process

The Class EA update follows the Schedule B requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, as amended in 2023.

Public Consultation

Public consultation is an integral component of the Class EA process, and we value your input during the planning process. 

Written comments are invited and can be submitted during the PIC or by e-mail to the contacts below. Comments will be accepted until June 7, 2024, to be considered in the study. Following the PIC and upon review of comments, the preferred solution will be selected, and a study report will be prepared.

The recorded presentation will be available on the Township's YouTube Channel for those unavailable to attend the PIC.
