Municipal Class EA Environmental Study Report

Project Details:

The need to replace the existing Wellington Wastewater Treatment Plant was identified in the 2021 Wellington Master Servicing Plan for Water, Wastewater and Stormwater. New water and wastewater treatment plants are required to accommodate projected growth in the area and to address current capacity limitations with the existing systems.

The new treatment plant will be built within the property boundaries of the existing site, as shown by the study area limits

Process:

The Class EA study will identify and evaluate alternative design concepts for the new wastewater treatment plant. Preferred treatment design concepts will be selected to minimize technical, socio-cultural, natural environmental and economic impacts.

Public Consultation:

Public consultation is an integral component of the Class EA process.
