Profiles of Technically Feasible Eastside Sites

Eastside Select Committee Wastewater Treatment - Technically Feasible Public Site Profiles

Introduction Technically Feasible Public Site Profiles This document presents the Eastside Select Committee’s site profiles of potential public wastewater treatment sites that are “technically feasible”. The City of Victoria, the District of Oak Bay and the District of Saanich have brought forward potential sites as part of a comprehensive public engagement process that will end with selection of a site or sites where a wastewater treatment plant or plants will be built.

Each member municipality in the Eastside Select Committee has provided sites that its staff, mayors and councils have determined to be, at a base level, technically feasible for wastewater treatment. This document provides detailed information regarding the site location, size and other characteristics. The following page provides reference information that was used to develop the profiles.

These profiles will be used to assist further public dialogue and technical considerations as the sites are narrowed down to “solution sets” by the end of June 2015.

The next step will be to review the locations and to use public priorities and emerging technical, social, economic and environmental considerations as filters to help narrow down the number of sites.

The Eastside Select Committee is an official sub-committee of the Capital Regional District.

The participants (Oak Bay, Saanich and Victoria) are working to identify solutions for wastewater treatment and resource recovery that meet the unique needs of the eastside in a proactive and timely way. The Eastside Select Committee will develop a plan for the eastside that, in combination with the plan from the Westside Select Committee, could form the basis for an amendment to the Core Area Liquid Waste Management Plan (CALWMP).
