Hagersville Master Servicing Plan Update

Initiated in 2023, the Hagersville Master Servicing Plan update will build on the original Plan from 2009 and identify what's required for future growth.

General overview

In 2023, we retained J.L. Richards & Associates Limited (JLR) and CIMA+ (formerly C3 Water Inc.) to prepare a Master Servicing Plan update for Hagersville.

Using the framework for Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Schedule ‘B’ projects, the update is intended to identify the individual water, wastewater, stormwater and transportation infrastructure improvements required for Hagersville's future needs.

Master Servicing Plan Report

The updated Master Servicing Plan Report was presented to Council on June 19, 2024.

In line with the MCEA process, the Project File Report was posted to the website for public feedback for the mandatory 30-day period from July 3 to August 3, 2024.

This represents the final phase in the MCEA process, and once completed according to Ministry guidelines, the County can proceed to implementation.

What is a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment?

The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) is an approved process that municipalities must follow under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Class EA projects are classified in terms of schedules (A, B or C) depending on the degree of impact on the environment.

Class EA schedules

Schedule A projects include normal or emergency operational and maintenance activities. Environmental impacts of these projects are usually minimal and; therefore, they are considered pre-approved.

Schedule B projects involve improvements and minor expansions to existing facilities. There is some potential for adverse environmental impacts and; therefore, these projects go through a screening process including public consultation.

Schedule C projects involve the construction of new facilities and major expansions to existing facilities. These projects must go through the entire EA planning process.

Phases of the Municipal Class EA process

Identify problem/opportunity
Identify alternative solutions
Examine alternative design concepts for the preferred solution
Prepare Environmental Study report

Phases by schedule

Schedule A projects only require the completion of Phase 1.
Schedule B projects only require the completion of Phase 1 and Phase 2.
Schedule C projects must complete all phases.
