NOTICE City of London Stanley Street Sanitary Pumping Station Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Schedule B) Notice of Completion -

The City of London retained Dillon Consulting Limited to complete a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) and Functional Design for a new sanitary sewage outlet for the Stanley Street and north Wortley Village area. The existing sanitary sewer siphon outlet pipe beneath the Thames River servicing the area is in poor condition and represents a significant operational and environmental liability to the City, and is no longer suitable to serve as the outlet. As a result, a new sanitary sewage pumping station is required.

Three potential locations for the pumping station were considered and evaluated based on a range of criteria, including impacts on the natural and socio-economic environment, design and constructability considerations and cost. Public and agency input was also incorporated into the evaluation, including feedback from the October 20, 2011 Public Information Centre. The preferred location is at the east end of Becher Street, south of the existing parking area.

The Class EA of the sanitary sewage pumping station followed the requirements of the Municipal Class EA (2000, as amended in 2007) for a Schedule "B" project. The process is documented in a Project File. A copy of the file is available for a 30 day review period from January 7 to February 6, 2012 at the following locations:
