Newcastle WPCP Class EA Addendum Report available for review
Whitby, Ontario – The Regional Municipality of Durham is seeking feedback from the public on the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Addendum for the Newcastle Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP). The plant will receive upgrades to increase the sanitary sewage treatment capacity for the surrounding community. The upgrades will also include replacing the existing odour control system.
When: Comments will be received between November 23 and December 23.
Where: The addendum report can be reviewed at durham.ca/NewcastleWPCP.
Why: Public consultation is an important part of the Municipal Class EA process. The upgrades proposed for the plant will accommodate continuing growth in the community of Newcastle with minimal impact on the surrounding area.
Note: A virtual public information centre was previously held from January 11 to February 11 to provide an update on the amendment to the Newcastle WPCP Class EA and to obtain resident input on the results and proposed solutions for the Municipality of Clarington’s Newcastle community.
