The Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP) Regional
Services Class Environmental Assessment (EA) |
| Brief
Description |
Durham Region is currently
undertaking a study for the provision of regional
services to the Seaton Community. The CPDP Regional
Services Class EA builds on the CPDP completed by the
Province in 2006 and will be conducted in accordance
with the Ontario and Canadian Environmental Assessment
Acts. In doing so, the Class EA will meet both the
Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) and Ministry of
Energy and Infrastructure Class EA planning processes,
and develop a servicing plan that will form the basis
for implementation of regional water, wastewater,
transportation, and transit systems for the Seaton
Community in Central Pickering. In addition, the Region
has chosen to undertake a separate Class EA process for
the service facility component of the regional services
To provide the regional
services, three projects are being undertaken with water
and wastewater completing Phases 1 and 2 (Schedule B)
and transportation and transit as well as service
facilities completing Phases 1 to 4 (Schedule C) of the
MEA Class EA process. The Class EA process finishes off
with the issuance of a Notice of Completion and public
review period for the Project File Report for the
Schedule B project and an Environmental Study Report for
the Schedule C projects. The reports will document a
preferred servicing strategy for Central Pickering
Development Plan area, including property ownership
issues with respect to right-of-way and easement
requirements. |
