Purpose of this Public Information Centre
Problem Statement
This evening’s Public Information Centre (PIC) is an opportunity for local residents,landowners, and other stakeholders to:
The developing area of the Highway 417 Industrial Park, including Rockdale Northand South, is currently not serviced by municipal water and wastewater. As such,the Township of Russell is looking to extend its municipal water and wastewatersystem to service the area.
The purpose of this study is to determine the preferred solution to provide municipalwater and sanitary servicing to the area denoted as the Highway 417 Industrial Park.
The Study AreaThe study area boundary shown below includes the entiretyof the Township of Russell, as well as a portion of the City ofOttawa (Rockdale North).
o Review and discuss the project with Township staff and their Consultanto Provide input for the Township to consider during the planning of this projecto Voice concerns regarding the projecto Discuss potential construction impacts to local residents, businesses and
other stakeholders
The municipal water and wastewater servicing project is classified as a Schedule‘B’ project and is being undertaken in accordance with Phases 1 and 2 of theMunicipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) process.
As part of the Class EA process, the public is invited to provide comment forconsideration in the planning and design of this project. The Class EA processensures that the opportunity is given to agencies and the public to providecomments and voice concerns regarding environmental, social, cultural, economicand other issues for consideration in the planning and design of the project.

Hwy 417 Industrial Park Water and Wastewater Servicing Class EA
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Process
The Highway 417 Industrial Park Municipal Water and Wastewater Servicing project corresponds to a Schedule ‘B’ undertaking, in accordance with the planning process outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011, and 2015). As such, the Study requires the completion of Phases 1 and 2 of the MEA Class EA process. Upon completion of the Study, a Class Environmental Assessment Project File Report will be prepared and filed for comment.

Service from the Russell Water System
• Service from existing Eadie Road Feedermain
• New watermain to 417 Industrial Park
• New watermain to Rockdale North and South
• Supply from a new in‐ground reservoir and PS or a new Elevated Tank
Service from the VarsWater System
• Service from the Vars Water Treatment Facility (WTF)
• New watermain to Rockdale North and South
• New watermain to 417 Industrial Park
• Supply from a new in‐ground reservoir and PS or a new Elevated Tank
Service from both the Russell and Vars Water Systems
• New watermain to Rockdale North and South from the Vars WTF
• New watermain to 417 Industrial Park from the existing Eadie Road Feedermain
• Supply from a new in‐ground reservoir and PS or a new Elevated Tank

The following criteria were applied to evaluate the identified Alternative Solutions:
1. Natural Environment: Refers to any potential impact to natural areas or features, groundwater quality, surface water, erosion, and flood control.
2. Social and Cultural Environment: Refers to any potential impact to residents, built‐up areas, and regulatory requirements.3. Technical Suitability: Refers to system operation, future expansion, and ability to provide consistent and efficient servicing.4. Economic/Financial: Refers to the capital cost, operating cost, and phasing (implementation).
Based on the evaluation, water servicing from the Township’s Eadie Road Feedermain is the preliminary preferred solution.

Water Servicing from Eadie Road Feedermain
This alternative was determined to be the most preferred water servicing solution because:
• It meets the level of service and system performance requirements and accommodates the long‐term servicing needs of the Industrial Park.
• Construction is limited to undeveloped lands.• Short‐term construction impacts can be mitigated to best practices.• Design considerations can mitigate potential impacts to surrounding
natural and social environment.• Option to phase in watermain looping for redundancy.• Lowest estimated capital cost to Industrial Park land owners.
Based on the evaluation of alternatives, the preferred solution for addressing the water servicing problem statement is:
Based on the evaluation results, water servicing from the Township’s Eadie Road Feedermain is the preliminary preferred solution.
This alternative solution allows the Township of Russell to proceed with project implementation independently without impact to the City of Ottawa. The City of Ottawa may choose to implement in the future.

Trunk Sewer from Industrial Park to New Castor SPS
Trunk Sewer from Industrial Park to Local SPS then to New Castor SPS
Decentralized Wastewater Treatment
Does it address the problem?
Is it technically feasible?
Service via Trunk Sewer from Industrial Park to New Castor
SPS• Gravity flow via trunk sewer• Discharge to a new sewage
pumping station (SPS) located near the EmbrunReservoir
• Ultimate discharge to the Russell Lagoon
Service via Trunk Sewer from Industrial Park to Local SPS Then to New Castor SPS
• Gravity flow via trunk sewer to a SPS local to the Industrial Park
• Flow from local SPS to a new SPS located near the EmbrunReservoir
• Ultimate discharge to the Russell Lagoon
Decentralized Wastewater Treatment
• Construction of a new wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) in the Industrial Park for local treatment of wastewater.
• WWTF effluent discharge to Castor River

Wastewater Servicing via a Trunk Sewer from the Industrial Park to a New Castor SPS
This alternative was determined to be the most preferred wastewater servicing solution because:
• It meets the level of service and system performance requirements and accommodates the long‐term servicing needs of the Industrial Park.
• Short‐term construction impacts can be mitigated to best practices.• Design considerations can mitigate potential impacts to surrounding natural and social
environment.• The new Castor SPS design would be modular to allow for phased development of the
Industrial Park.• Lowest estimated capital cost to Industrial Park land owners.
Based on the evaluation of alternatives, the preferred solution for addressing the wastewater servicing problem statement is:
Based on the evaluation results, wastewater servicing from the Township’s Eadie Road Feedermain is the preliminary preferred solution.
