An environmental assessment (EA) has been submitted to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change by the Regional Municipality of York for the undertaking, which includes:

  • A water reclamation centre treating 40 megalitres per day (MLD)
  • A project-specific phosphorus off-setting program.
  • Modifications to the existing York Durham Sewage System (YDSS)

The project extends to areas in the Towns of Aurora, East Gwillimbury, Georgina, and Newmarket.

The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change has prepared a Review of the EA for public and agency comment. The Review of the EA does not make a decision about the EA. That decision is made by the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change after the comment period is over and consideration of all submissions.

You can submit comments on the undertaking, the environmental assessment, and the ministry Review. You may also request a hearing by the Environmental Review Tribunal. If you request a hearing you must state in your submission, whether you are requesting a hearing on the whole application or on only specified matters related to the application.
