PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE FEBRUARY 23 TO EXAMINE TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR STORMWATER IN DESERONTO
A Public Information Centre will be held on Thursday, February 23, 2017, to discuss proposed improvements to the stormwater outfalls that drain into the Mill Pond. The format will be ‘Open House’ and residents are invited to drop in anytime between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Information boards will be on display and representatives from Quinte Conservation will be available to answer questions and provide information.
The project aims to improve water quality using conventional approaches to treat the stormwater which currently drains, untreated, directly into the Mill Pond and then the Bay of Quinte. The project is a cooperative effort between Environment Canada’s Great Lakes Sustainability Fund, Ministry of Environment’s Canada-Ontario Agreement for the Great Lakes, The Town of Deseronto, and the Quinte Conservation Authority. This project is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment.
