Addendum to the Great Cataraqui River Utilities Crossing Project Municipal Class Environmental Assessment.
BACKGROUND
A Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment was completed for a new water main and sewage force main crossing of the Great Cataraqui River in July 2001. As a result of investigations
undertaken since that time it was determined that dredged material cannot be stored on the east shore as originally envisioned, and that an off-site temporary dewatering facility would be required.
Five sites were examined in detail with land located west of the City's snow disposal site, north of Hwy 401 and west of Perth Road (Division Street) and known as the Knox Farm, identified as the
preferred location. Council approved use of Knox Farm for that purpose in January 2003, and authorized Utilities Kingston to pursue the necessary approvals. As an off-site disposal facility was not
included within the original class Environmental Assessment, an addendum to the EA is required.
YOUR COMMENTS ARE WELCOME
The purpose of this Open House is to present information regarding the proposed temporary dewatering facility and to provide the public an opportunity to comment.
The meeting will take place:
Wednesday June 11, 2003
Johnson Street Library, Delahaye Room
5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
