| Environmental Assessment: Glen Walter Water Treatment Plan and Water Pollution Control Plant (2022-2023) |
|
Project Status: Temporarily On-Hold
Overview The Township of South Glengarry has initiated an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the expansion of the Glen Walter Water Treatment Plant and Water Pollution Control Plant currently located along County Road 2 approximately 2km east of Cornwall. Township Council approved the Glen Walter Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan on February 7, 2022. The Servicing Master Plan developed a preferred strategy to provide water and wastewater services to the Glen Walter Community while meeting the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. The Servicing Master Plan considered three options:
The Servicing Master Plan identified Option 2B – Partial Expansion of Municipal Services Boundary as the preferred option. This option positions the Township to provide sufficient capacity in the municipal water and wastewater systems to support growth within the following areas: infill within the Glen Walter Core and Farlinger Point, Place St. Laurent, Country Club Estates, and two other areas identified in Figure 6 of the Study Report. The development of these areas is expected to increase the service population within the municipal serviced area from 1,000 persons (2021) to 3,000 (2051). Completing this Schedule ‘C’ Environmental Assessment for the expansion of each plant is the next step required for implementing the preferred option.
Study Process The Study is being conducted in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) process for a Schedule ‘C’ project. The planning and design process will lead to the development of functional design for the project that is technically sound, innovative and that includes effective consultation and consensus building. There will be ongoing consultation activities throughout the study. This first public consultation event will provide:
Interested persons can provide comments throughout the EA Study. Any comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

Lancaster Lagoon Dredging (2023) |
|
Project Status: Complete
The Township undertook dredging of the Lancaster Wastewater Lagoon to remove the excess sludge that had been accumulating in the active lagoon cells. The dredged material will be stored in the inactive lagoon cell to dry and can be used in the future as final cover material at the Township’s landfills!
Dredging is an important form of maintenance that supports the longevity and efficiency of the lagoons. By dredging, the Township is restoring the design capacity of the lagoon (more space!), improving the efficiency of the wastewater treatment process, and reducing the potential for odors.

Municipal Drains
| Filion Drain Engineer’s Report (2022-2023) |
|
Project Status: Complete
Overview The Filion Drain is one of (approximately) 130 municipal drains located within the Township of South Glengarry. A municipal drain is a system to move water which is created pursuant to a bylaw passed by Township Council. Most often, the drain is located on private property and the municipality is responsible for the construction of the drainage system and future maintenance and repair. Costs are then recovered from the property owners in the watershed of the drain. The existing Engineer’s Reports for the Filion Municipal Drain were prepared under the previous 1970 Drainage Act where culverts were an owner’s responsibility to maintain. Township Council has initiated an update to the Engineer’s Report under Section 78 of the Drainage Act, R.S.O. 1990. This update will incorporate the 20-30 large arch pipes as part of the drainage works into the Engineer’s Report, thereby making them eligible for future maintenance grants provided by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). More information about Municipal Drains is available at: http://omafra.gov.on.ca/english/landuse/drain-eref/municipal.htm
Study Process The Study is being conducted in accordance with the Drainage Act. Township Council appointed McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers Ltd. under Section 78 of the Drainage Act to update the Filion Drain Engineer’s Report in January 2020. The project was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic and on April 4, 2022 Township Council extended the appointment of McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers Ltd. The first public information session (On-Site Meeting) was held on June 6, 2022. A second public information session (Meeting to Consider) was held on April 3, 2023. Interested persons can provide comments throughout the Study. Any comments received will be collected under the Drainage Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.
