COUNTY OF HURON
CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
FOR THE PROVISION OF SEPTAGE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES
NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING
The County of Huron is considering a plan to provide regional treatment and disposal
facilities for septic tank wastes and other hauled domestic sewage (known collectively as
septage). 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.
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. The intent of these initial meetings is to discuss factors associated with the
selection of the preferred septage treatment and disposal plan. Matters relating to the design
and implementation of the preferred servicing plan will be evaluated during subsequent
project stages and discussed at future information meetings.
