  • Environmental Impact Study of Proposed
    ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY OF CORE AREA WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES: TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENT Part 2: McLoughlin Point- Hartland Facilities June 2010 This page was intentionally left blank for double-sided printing. Summary This report is Part 2 of the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) of the Capital Regional District‟s (CRD‟s) Core Area Wastewater Treatment Program: Terrestrial Environment. The Part 1 EIS describes potential effects and mitigation measures of wastewater facilities in Saanich East. In compliance with provincial directives to institute secondary treatment of wastewater, the CRD is developing plans for treatment facilities to serve the CRD‟s core area. The facilities will treat wastewater flows from Victoria, Esquimalt, View Royal, Oak Bay, Saanich, Colwood, and Langford. Following extensive engineering and planning study, in the spring of 2010 the Core Area Liquid Waste Management Committee (CALWMC) selected the McLoughlin Point site and the Hartland North site as the preferred locations for wastewater treatment facilities and determined that the existing facilities at Macaulay and Clover points will be upgraded. The sites of the McLoughlin Point-Hartland facilities and the required ancillary infrastructure are shown in Figure 3-1. The flows from the current Macaulay Point and Clover Point catchment areas will be diverted to McLoughlin Point for treatment. Sludge will be processed at a biosolids facility built at the Hartland North site. The McLoughlin Point-Hartland facilities will also create opportunities for resource

TD227.B7K46 2004 333.91’04’0971128 C2004-960175-X Executive summary This project focussed on the delineation and classification of developed aquifers within the Capital Regional District of British Columbia (CRD). The goal was to identify and map water-bearing unconsolidated and bedrock aquifers in the region, and to classify the mapped aquifers according to the methodology outlined in the B.C. Aquifer Classification System (Kreye and Wei, 1994). The project began in summer 2003 with the mapping and classification of aquifers in Sooke, and on the Saanich Peninsula. Aquifers in the remaining portion of the CRD including Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, District of Highlands, the Western Communities, Metchosin and Port Renfrew were mapped and classified in summer 2004. The presence of unconsolidated deposits within the CRD is attributed to glacial activity within the region over the last 20,000 years. Glacial and glaciofluvial modification of the landscape has resulted in the presence of significant water bearing deposits, formed from the sands and gravels of Capilano Sediments, Quadra and Cowichan Head Formations.
