Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station Upgrade Regional Municipality of Durham, City of Pickering NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT Class Environmental Assessment

WORKS DEPARTMENT February 13, 2006 NEWSLETTER

The existing Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station (SPS), located at 563 Rodd Avenue in the City of Pickering, requires upgrading to provide additional sanitary sewage pumping capacity for increased sewage flows from developments within the Rosebank Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Neighbourhood, in accordance with the Regional and Pickering Official Plans. The upgrade is also to complete improvements to comply Mary Bellinger taps on her heart to signal her approval as the J. Clarke Richardson with current engineering standards and health and safety regulations. Collegiate Concert Choir, under her direction, hits a poignant moment in rehearsal Tuesday for the Ontario Vocal Festival, running at the Ajax school February 23 and 24. As part of the increase in sewage pumping capacity, the existing forcemain conveying sewage flow from the SPS to the existing gravity sewer on Park Crescent, crossing Petticoat Creek and Petticoat Creek Conversation Area on an existing easement, may need to be upgraded.
