Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study

Notice of Public Information Centre #2

THE STUDY:

The Municipality of Kincardine (Municipality) has retained Stantec Consulting Ltd. to complete a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to identify options for expansion of the Kincardine Water System and Water Treatment Plant (WTP) at 155 Durham Street, address potential community growth in the study area, and consider a possible extension to Bruce Power. See study area map.

Expansion alternatives presented at the first Public Information Centre (PIC #1) identified that the preferred solution includes:

• Expansion of the Kincardine WTP within the existing site,
• A booster pumping station along the existing watermain, and
• Extension of the existing watermain approximately 1.1 km north to the Bruce Power boundary.

A second PIC (PIC #2) is being held to provide an update on study progress, the next phase evaluation of Alternative Designs, and to identify the preliminary preferred Alternative Design concept.
