Notice of Public Consultation Centre: Tavistock Wastewater Treatment Plant
Tavistock Wastewater Treatment Plant Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study
About the study
Oxford County is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study to explore a range of possibilities for expanding the Tavistock Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in the Village of Tavistock in the Township of East Zorra-Tavistock. The study will determine the preferred approach that is cost-effective, environmentally sound and sustainable to increase wastewater treatment capacity to service the existing sewage flows, as well as future growth, to 2046.
This Municipal Class EA Study is being carried out in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule C projects as outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2023), approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
Public consultation
Public, Indigenous, and agency consultation is a key component of the Class EA process and will be sought throughout the study. As part of the Class EA study, a Public Consultation Centre (PCC) is being held to present the long-term wastewater servicing solutions that are being considered and evaluated for capacity expansion of the Tavistock WWTP, and to provide residents and interested parties with the opportunity to provide comments and ask questions of Oxford County staff and the County’s consultant, R.V. Anderson Associates Ltd.
Both in-person and virtual meeting options will be available for this consultation period and will include a presentation by R.V. Anderson Associates Limited, followed by a question and answer period. The agenda will include an introduction to the study, overview of the Class EA study process, review of work completed, summary of alternative solutions considered/preliminary preferred solution, and discussion of next steps in the study. PCC dates and registration details are as follows:
