Notice of Public Information Centre No.1
Biosolids Management Master Plan
The City of London (the City) is updating its Biosolids Management Master Plan (the Master Plan) to ensure the City’s biosolids are managed in a way that is sustainable, protects our environment, and has the capacity to handle the City’s growing population.
Study Area:
There are wastewater treatment facilities in every area of London, so this Master Plan will consider the entire city. How we manage the biosolids generated as part of the wastewater treatment process impacts all City residents and has the potential to affect our environment. Your feedback is an important part of the master planning process.
What are the Goals of this Study:
The Master Plan will look at how the City is currently managing and treating biosolids at our Wastewater Treatment Plants and guide how we will continue to meet the demands of our growing community over the next 30 years. The key focus is to develop a plan that ensures we respond to future population growth in a sustainable manner that protects the environment, while minimizing the financial and other potential nuisance impacts on the City’s residents.
Public Information Centre – event details:
A virtual Public Information Centre (PIC) will be available for viewing by the public starting Thursday, October 7 at 8:00 a.m. and will be available for a period of 28 days. This PIC will provide an overview of the City’s current approach to managing biosolids, as well as the evaluation process that will be used to select the preferred strategy for future biosolids management. The next PIC, forecasted for winter 2021, will provide a preliminary evaluation of alternative strategies. The link to view the interactive open house as well as supplementary materials will be available at the project’s Get Involved page at https://getinvolved.london.ca/biosolids
