About the study
Halton Region is completing a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study for a new wastewater pumping station and its associated infrastructure on Lower Base Line Road.
This project was identified in the 2011 Sustainable Halton Water and Wastewater Master Plan to support growth and provide reliable wastewater services for new homes and businesses in Milton and Halton Hills. Through this study, alternative site locations for the Lower Base Line Wastewater Pumping Station and alternative alignments for the associated infrastructure were evaluated, considering social, cultural and environmental impacts, along with technical feasibility and cost.
Process and consultation
The study is being carried out in accordance with Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA), (October 2000, as amended 2007, 2011, 2015, 2023 and 2024), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
A key part of the study is consultation with the public and review agencies through a Public Information Centre (PIC). The purpose of this PIC is to present and obtain input on the study’s problem and opportunity statement, evaluation approach, and preliminary preferred location for the new pumping station and associated infrastructure.
Upon completion of the study, a Project File Report will be prepared and made available for public review and comment for 30 days.
