The Study Area for the project consisted of a large area extending along the Lake Huron shoreline from the Ausable River Cut to Huron Road 84, in the municipalities of Lambton Shores, Bluewater and South Huron, including the hamlet of Dashwood. The goal of the Master Plan was to identify a long-term, environmentally and economically sustainable servicing scheme to meet the servicing needs of existing and future development over the next 20 years. Phase 1 of the study concluded that malfunctioning septic systems in the Study Area, as well as discharges from the Grand Bend Sewage Treatment Facility (STF), are adversely affecting surface and groundwater, including Lake Huron, the area's most important natural and recreational asset. Septic system malfunction rates are expected to be high over the next 20 years. In addition, currently proposed and future growth must be serviced by municipal sanitary sewage services to comply with Provincial policies and legislation requiring environmental protection. Phase 2 identified and evaluated alternative solutions for addressing these problems. Based on Phases 1 and 2 and public and agency input, the preferred sanitary sewage servicing solution chosen by the three municipalities consists of the following components: • provide municipal sanitary services to the entire Study Area, phased in over time • expand and upgrade the Grand Bend STF to service the entire Study Area. A Mechanical Treatment Plant Upgrade was recommended as the preferred expansion and upgrading option • accept and treat septage at the upgraded plant, but further assessment is required to determine the quantity of septage • low pressure sanitary sewage collection system for almost all of the Study Area. For Dashwood, a conventional (gravity) collection system was selected. The three municipalities will complete the servicing projects identified in the Master Plan over the next 20 years. The priority for improvements includes the following: 1. Expansion and upgrading of the Grand Bend STF to accommodate peak (summer) flows from Pinery Provincial Park and proposed Southbend Estates 2. Lambton Shores - servicing of Pinery Park and Southbend Estates 3. Lambton Shores - servicing of existing subdivisions, west of Southbend Estates 4. South Huron - servicing of South Huron from north of Grand Bend to Huron Road 83 5. Bluewater - servicing of the Lakeshore (west side of Highway 21) from Huron Road 83 to 84 6. South Huron and Bluewater - servicing of Dashwood. Further EA studies, following the requirements of the Municipal Class EA, are required before any of the projects included in the Master Plan can be constructed.
