Pigeon Lake Regional Wastewater Strategy and Master Plan
Welcome and Introduction of Steering Committee Members and Project Team
1
Meeting Purpose 1.
To provide an opportunity for property owners from the summer villages and counties to view the progress of the study to date
2.
To view and comment on the options under consideration.
3.
To provide and opportunity for questions and answers in a localized setting where individual issues and concerns can be addressed.
Project Commencement
Steering Committee Introduction Remarks
2
Project Objectives To develop a regional wastewater strategy and master plan for the Pigeon Lake watershed area as well as the Dorchester Development.
Complete a feasibility level economically based assessment that: • • • • •
defines logical project boundaries; provides conceptual cost estimates for options; provides recommended project phases; considers community growth requirements; and provides recommendations for a viable governance model(s).
Public Communications Overview Overview and Summary of Common Themes (15 completed) • Increasing concern for the environmental health of the lake • Unprecedented growth and increasing density • Status quo is not an option for most • Complete cost for the entire system and ongoing fees for maintenance and upkeep are important
3
Public Communications Overview Overview and Summary of Common Themes (con’t) • • •
Devise a funding solution that is fair to all – eg. user pay proportionally A recommended solution bought into by all is a necessity. If a mutually agreed solution with 100% buy-in is not achieved, mandate it and make all stakeholders contribute – including the provincial government.
Project Summary to Date • Project Need • Wastewater Management Options • Funding Opportunities • Planning Criteria • Master Plan Options • Next Steps and Input
4
Project Need • Urbanization of lakeshore areas • Private sewage systems costly and risky • Intensifying development • Changing property use – Seasonal to Permanent • Protect the lake • Act now rather then react later
Existing On-Site Systems • Holding Tanks - Truck Haul - Need Disposal Facility - Leakage?
• Disposal Fields -
Suitable Low Flow / Low Density Requires Suitable Soil Conditions Requires Maintenance Difficult to Monitor
• Outhouses

Beginning Assumption Some how we need to dispose of our wastewater. (We might even have to treat it!)
Wastewater Planning • Good assessment of the need (what are the real problems? What are the treatment objectives) • Good information regarding various alternatives. • Good community involvement Buying into the need Address the problems to select an alternative
