Notice of PIC 2 for Greensville Municipal Backup Well
The City of Hamilton completed the Mid-Spencer Creek and Greensville Rural Settlement Area (RSA) Subwatershed Study in 2016 which fulfilled Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) process http://www.hamilton.ca/ Greensville Study.
One of the recommendations of the Subwatershed Study was the creation of a backup system for the Greensville Municipal Well http://www.hamilton.ca/greensvillebackupwell. This alternative was selected based on the impact to the environment, capacity of groundwater resources, consistency with existing policy and the objective to provide a better level service to the 36 homes currently serviced by the municipal well.
The Process
The current Study is being undertaken to satisfy Phases 3 and 4 of the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) process in order to present and evaluate the impacts of alternative design concepts of the backup well; select preferred design concept; and document the evaluation of alternatives and the consultation related to the project in an Environmental Study Report (ESR).
Source Protection
The Halton-Hamilton Source Protection Committee has made great progress in the protection of your drinking water sources. In December 2015, the Source Protection Plan took effect. The policies in this Plan are designed to protect the quality and quantity of the groundwater that supplies the Greensville municipal drinking water system. The Plan sets out actions to eliminate, manage or reduce potential risks to drinking water sources. Studies in the Greensville area were recently completed to assess the proposed new municipal well and re-evaluate the existing well for potential risks to both quality and quantity using a new modelling process. The Plan and associated documents have been updated to include the findings of the studies. The Committee is seeking your feedback on the amendments to the documents and asks that you review them on our website at www.protectingwater.ca or during working hours at 4052 Milburough Line, Campbellville. Please provide your feedback by December 4, 2017.
