STUDY BACKGROUNDThe Water/Wastewater Master Plans are infrastructure planning exercises that strive to
maximize the use of the Township’s current infrastructure, and identify where
and how additional capacity may be provided to address the needs of new
development areas outside of the current urban boundary, and redevelopment and
intensification within the built boundary.
Study Area
The Study Area for the Master Plans includes the communities of King City,
Nobleton, and Schomberg. The Ansnorveldt water system will also be reviewed.
Overall Class EA
The planning of major municipal projects or activities is subject to
the Ontario Environmental Assessment (EA) Act, R.S.O. 1990, and requires the
proponent to complete an Environmental Assessment, including an inventory and
description of the existing environment in the area affected by the proposed
activity.
The Class EA process was developed by the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA),
in consultation with the Ministry of the Environment (MOE), as an alternative
method to Individual Environmental Assessments for recurring municipal projects
that were similar in nature, usually limited in scale and with predictable
range of environmental effects which were responsive to mitigating measures.
Master Plans are long range plans which integrate infrastructure requirements
for existing and future land use with environmental assessment planning
principles. These plans examine an infrastructure system or group of related
projects in order to outline a framework for planning for subsequent projects
and/or developments. At a minimum, Master Plans address Phases 1 and 2 of the
Municipal Class EA process.
A flow chart describing the Class EA planning and design process is available in
the 'Notices and Information' section of this page.
