About the William Street SPS Class EA - Tavistock

Project Study Area

Oxford County is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study to identify the most appropriate sanitary servicing solution to support ongoing sanitary servicing needs and anticipated community growth to the year 2046 in the William Street area of the Village of Tavistock.

The Class EA study is being planned in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule B projects as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2023), which is an approved process under Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act.

Process

Oxford County has retained MTE Consultants Inc. to lead the study. A notice of commencement letting the public know the study has begun was issued on March 7, 2023.

Over this project, the County will consult with the public, Indigenous communities, and regulatory agencies. Any potential impacts of the sewage pumping station upgrade alternatives on social, cultural, economic and natural environments will be evaluated and assessed during the Class EA Study.

Once the study is completed, a report will be submitted to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks and made available for public review for a period of 30 days.
