Notice of Study Commencement – City of London Pollution Prevention Control Plan (PPCP) Update Study
What is this study about?
The City of London, together with GM BluePlan, is starting a project to update London’s Pollution Prevention Control Plan (PPCP). The study will be conducted to update the 2018 PPCP Implementation Plan and identify areas of improvement to address future needs. The study will:
- Identify an effective management strategy to limit the volume and frequency of untreated wastewater discharges into the Thames River and receiving streams;
- Consider options for how the frequency and volume of sewer system overflows can be reduced; and
- Incorporate a cost-benefit analysis to support prioritization of pollution source reduction options
The PPCP will ultimately develop a prioritized 5-year action plan that outlines remediation activities and strategies to proactively manage the wastewater system in the City of London, while demonstrating that the wastewater system meets the requirements set out by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks (MECP).
How is this study conducted?
This study will be performed as a Master Planning Study, satisfying Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Engineers Association Class Environmental Assessment process (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2023), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
Get Involved
The City of London encourages residents and other interested parties to actively participate in the review and update of the PPCP. Information about the study can be viewed at london.ca/PPCP
