KAWARTHA LAKES-The City of Kawartha Lakes is initiating a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for the Detailed Design of Anne Street and Front Street Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) in Bobcaygeon.
The study includes potential upgrades of the existing force-main connecting the SPS locations to the sewage treatment plant, identifying and reviewing alternatives and recommending preferred alternative to accommodate the increased growth within the north side of the Bobcaygeon River.
This Municipal Class EA process will follow the planning and design process as described in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Document. The goal of the study is to accommodate the increased growth within areas north of the Bobcaygeon River, review, recommend and design upgrades required for the two SPS or propose a new SPS to intercept additional flows and study options for twinning/replacing some/all of the existing force mains on the existing or new alignments.
Currently the existing settlement within the North-West area is serviced by the Front Street SPS. The Front Street SPS is a tributary SPS to the Anne Street SPS. The Front Street SPS and the Anne Street SPS are located on the north side of the Bobcaygeon River. The area is serviced by a municipal wastewater collection system with several SPS that ultimately discharge to the Bobcaygeon Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP).
The process involves consulting the public, Indigenous groups, and external agencies. It includes evaluating alternative solutions, assessing potential impacts, and developing measures to mitigate them. This ensures that environmental concerns are addressed, and adverse effects are alleviated.
