November 2, 2022 – Notice of Study Completion
The City of Orillia has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for proposed upgrades to the Bayview Sewage Pumping Station (SPS), located at 406 Bayview Parkway. The Class EA identified and evaluated alternatives to improve the capacity and operation of the SPS, and to bring the SPS in compliance with current codes and guidelines. The preferred solution is to construct a new SPS.
The Class EA was completed in accordance with the Schedule B requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015).
A Project File, documenting the Class EA process is posted for review and comments on the City’s project webpage at orillia.ca/bayviewsps. Comments can be submitted using the online comment form or by e-mail to the contacts below. Comments will be accepted until December 2, 2022 and will be taken into consideration and included in the final Project File. Comments are collected in accordance with the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and will be part of the public record.
