Drumbo WWTP Capacity Expansion
Status: In progress
Purpose
The purpose of the study is to explore a wide range of possibilities for expanding the Drumbo Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to increase capacity above 600 m3 per day (refer to map) in order to determine the most appropriate solution that will support the growing wastewater servicing needs within the Village of Drumbo in the Township of Blandford-Blenheim.
Scope
This notice signals the commencement of the Class EA Study which will define the project, identify and evaluate alternative solutions, and develop preferred WWTP capacity expansion design concepts in consultation with the public, Indigenous communities, and regulatory agencies. Any potential impacts of the WWTP expansion alternatives on social, cultural, economic, and natural environments will be evaluated and assessed during the Class EA Study.
This study is being carried out in accordance with the requirements of Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2024), approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
Upon completion of this study, an Environmental Study Report documenting the process will be submitted to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks and made available for public review for a minimum period of 30 calendar days.
We want to hear from you
Public, Indigenous, and agency consultation is a key component of the Class EA process, and your input will be sought throughout the Study.
