This process includes consultation with the public, stakeholders and review agencies. The purpose of the Class EA screening process is to identify any potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed works and to plan for appropriate impact mitigation. The Portsmouth Pumping Station Flow Direction project is being carried out as a Schedule B undertaking. The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (“Class EA”) process is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act and allows municipalities to follow a Class EA process when undertaking municipal infrastructure projects.

The EA study was undertaken in conjunction with the Front Road Watermain Interconnection project, a Schedule A+ undertaking. This recommendation also provides additional opportunity to potentially reduce combined sewer overflows (CSO) within the system. The EA study evaluated the options and recommended the redirection of the flow from the Portsmouth Pumping Station (centrally located) to the west towards the Cataraqui Bay WWTP in order to help alleviate any potential system constraints in the central and eastern portions of the City’s wastewater network. Due to a planned increase in development through the central and east area of the City, higher wastewater flows are projected to be conveyed through the central and eastern portions of the City’s wastewater network. The City’s existing sewer network is currently laid out such that wastewater flows generated in the central and east areas of the City are conveyed to the Ravensview Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and wastewater flows generated in the west area of the City are conveyed to the Cataraqui Bay WWTP. The purpose of this EA study was to identify how to best support further development (through intensification) in the City of Kingston through sustainable servicing.
