The Municipality of Sioux Lookout has initiated a Schedule C Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for the proposed expansion of the existing Sioux Lookout Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). This Class EA study will identify the extent of expansion required at the Sioux Lookout WWTP to accommodate projected growth in the area and to address current capacity limitations, including hydraulic limitations of the plant’s outfall into Pelican Lake.

A Public Information Centre (PIC) 1 is being held to introduce the project, preliminary results of activities completed to-date and to solicit public and indigenous communities’ feedback on the information presented. The PIC will follow a drop-in format. Project team representatives will be available to answer questions and discuss next steps.

The Process

The Class EA study is being carried out in accordance with the requirements of a Schedule ‘C’ project of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000, last amended in 2024). The Class EA study will identify and evaluate alternative design concepts for the WWTP. Preferred treatment design concepts will be selected to minimize technical, socio-cultural, natural environmental and economic impacts.

The Class EA process includes public, indigenous and external agency consultation, an evaluation of alternative solutions, an assessment of potential impacts associated with the proposed improvements, and development of measures to mitigate identified impacts.

Public Consultation
Public consultation is an integral component of the Class EA process, and your input is valued during the planning process. This PIC is the first of two PICs that will be held in association with the Class EA study. Notices are published in local newspapers, on the Municipality’s website (www.siouxlookout.ca) and distributed to all individuals, communities, and agencies who express an interest in this project.
