This
project is no longer active. The following information is provided
for archival purposes.
In
2002, the City of Toronto completed a Class Environmental Assessment
to find the preferred solution for managing residues generated
at the R. L. Clark Filtration Plant. Five alternatives were
evaluated. The preferred solution selected is treating the liquid
portion
of the residues on-site, and hauling the remaining solids away
for disposal.
Steps in the EA process
-
Recognized that the practice of discharging residues to Lake
Ontario could have an environmental impact.
-
Identified alternative
solutions to discharging residues from the
water filtration process to Lake Ontario.
-
Evaluated and selected
the preferred solution of managing residues.
-
Completed
report in October 2002 and posted it and a Notice of Completion
to inform people when the review period started and where
to go for more information.
Communications and Consultation activities
Throughout the R. L. Clark EA process, a public consultation
program was implemented to ensure public input. Now that
we’re
in the design phase and moving toward construction, the City
will communicate with the public and continue to provide opportunities
for residents to contribute to the process. Communications and
consultation activities will include media relations, distribution
of newsletters/construction bulletins, and updated information
on the City's web site.
