Orangeville NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT AND PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE Mill Creek Rehabilitation Study From Bythia Street to the Credit River Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study – Schedule B The Study The Town of Orangeville is carrying out a rehabilitation of Mill Creek to address concerns relating to erosion, flooding, slope stability and other problems. Aquafor Beech Limited has been retained by the Town to undertake the Mill Creek Rehabilitation Class Environmental Assessment and Design Study (Class EA). The Class EA will focus on Mill Creek from Bythia Street in the west to the creek’s confluence with the Credit River in the east. It will build on the work carried out by the Coldwater Conservation Challenge in 2011, which found that the Mill Creek community is largely supportive of creek restoration and would like a restoration that is effective, aesthetically pleasing and natural. Mill Creek Study Area The Process The Mill Creek Rehabilitation Study from Bythia Street to the Credit River is subject to the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act as a project that will follow the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Schedule B process. Public Interaction The first Public Information Centre (PIC) for this project will review the existing conditions (and problems) together with potential alternatives (rehabilitation options). It is anticipated to be held in September 2012 and will be designed to engage the public and collect feedback. If you are interested in participating in this project, please contact: Douglas G. Jones, M.E.Sc., P.Eng.
