All 12 branches of the Huron Coun-
ty Library will be participating in
the popular 'Food for Fines' program
from Nov 23 to 29 again this year.
During the week all branch loca-
tions will accept non-perishable food
items in place of cash for overdue li-
brary fines.
The project is offered through the
Huron County Library in partner-
ship with the Huron County Health
Unit and local food banks.
This is the fourth year the Huron
County Library has offered the pro-
gram at their library branches.
When the program was run in 2008,
534 people donated 790 items to lo-
cal food banks through their public
library in Huron County.
'Food for Fines' provides library us-
ers the opportunity to clear their re-
cord, return overdue materials, and
support local food banks.
During the program fines for items
are waived on a one to one ratio; it's
simply one item of food for each book
overdue.
All donations through this pro-
gram are redistributed to food banks
within Huron County.
For more information on Food for
Fines or other events at your library
visit your local branch or www.hu-
roncounty.ca/library/.
MUNICIPALITY OF HURON EAST
CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
FOR SANITARY SEWAGE SERVICING
(COMMUNITY OF EGMONDVILLE)
THE PROJECT:
The Municipality of Huron East initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) in 2007 to
determine the most appropriate method to extend municipal sanitary servicing to the community of
Egmondville. Phase I of the study established a need within the community due to deficiencies identified with
existing on-site sewage disposal (septic) systems. The second public meeting, which was held in June of this
year, presented a summary of various servicing alternatives available to extend municipal servicing to
Egmondville. A preferred servicing alternative has now been selected by the Technical Steering Committee
(TSC) formed in conjunction with the study. The TSC is recommending that traditional gravity sewers be
utilized to service the community of Egmondville. Detailed information on the preferred alternative, as well as
all of the servicing alternatives that were considered, is now available for input and review.
CLASS EA PROCESS:
The planning for this project is following the environmental screening process established for Schedule B
activities under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) document. Schedule B
projects are approved subject to the completion of Phases 1 & 2 of the Class EA process. The purpose of
the screening process is to identify any potential environmental impacts associated with the proposal and to
plan for appropriate mitigation of any impacts.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT:
As part of the public consultation program developed for this project, a Public Information Meeting has
been scheduled to advise residents of the current study investigations and to receive additional input from
interested parties.
