Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study 

Oxford County is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study to select the most appropriate design concept for a sanitary servicing solution in the William Street area of Tavistock. The design will support ongoing sanitary servicing needs and anticipated community growth to the year 2046. 

About the study

The William Street Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) receives sewage from homes, businesses and institutions within the William Street SPS study area (refer to Study Area map). Oxford County initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study that is considering a wide range of SPS and/or collection system alternatives in order to select the most appropriate conceptual design that will support ongoing wastewater servicing needs to the year 2046.

The Class EA study is being planned in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule B projects as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2023), which is an approved process under Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act.

We want to hear from you

Consultation with stakeholders is a key component of the study process and input will be sought throughout the study.

An in-person Public Consultation Centre (PCC) is being held to provide a project update, present the alternative servicing solutions, and present the evaluation criteria for selecting the preferred servicing solution.
