TOWNSHIP OF RAMARA
BAYSHORE VILLAGE EFFLUENT SPRAY IRRIGATION SYSTEM
MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT UPDATE
The Township of Ramara is updating the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) that was previously completed in 2017 for the effluent spray irrigation system at the Bayshore Village Sewage Works. Treated effluent from the Bayshore Village sewage treatment lagoons is spray irrigated on two fields near Concession Road 8 and Sideroad 20. The Class EA is updating the evaluation of alternatives for effluent disposal to address current capacity and operational issues.
The Class EA update follows the Schedule B requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, as amended in 2023.
A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held in person and virtually to present the alternative solutions under consideration and the preliminary recommendations, for public input. There will be a presentation followed by a question-and-answer period. Attendees can also join the PIC online by accessing the Zoom link that will be available on the Township website at www.ramara.ca/news. The recorded presentation will be available on the Township’s YouTube Channel.
