The project involves the construction of new septage treatment facilities adjacent to the sewage treatment plants currently servicing the communities of Wingham and Exeter. The new facilities would be designed to accommodate septage material collected within the County, as well as adjacent municipalities. Treated effluent from the proposed facilities would be discharged into the existing treatment plants for disposal Both plants have sufficient hydraulic and organic capacities to accommodate the sewage flows anticipated from the proposed works. The project is being planned in accordance with the recommendations of the County of Huron Study of Septage Treatment and Disposal. This study was commissioned to investigate opportunities for treating septage at existing sewage treatment facilities within the County, in advance of restrictions to land application scheduled for December 31, 2006. Based on an analysis of study findings, it was recommended that the County of Huron proceed with the further evaluation of two septage treatment sites (considered the most practical servicing plan). This recommendation was received by Huron County Council in a motion dated October 3, 2002 County Council recently identified the provision of the proposed treatment facilities as a health and safety priority. Accordingly, the project is the subject of a funding application submitted by the County of Huron under the Canada-Ontario Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (COMRIF). The project is following the planning process set out for Schedule C activities under the < Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) document. Schedule C projects are approved subject to a comprehensive assessment process designed to identify potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed works and to plan for appropriate mitigation. The process includes multiple opportunities for consultation with the review agencies, stakeholders and the public The Ethel euchre was held on Monday.

Two information meetings are being planned to provide stakeholders and the general public with details on the initial phases of the investigation and to receive input from interested persons.
