Correspondence from A. Sweetnam, Seaterra Program - Re: McLoughlin Point Wastewater Treatment Facility

Presentation on the Proposed McLoughlin Point Wastewater Treatment Facility

On April 7, 2014 the Council of the Township of Esquimalt rejected the application from the Capital Regional District to rezone the McLoughlin Point Property for the core area wastewater treatment plant. This decision was based in part on submissions from members of the public, who raised a number of concerns about the McLoughlin facility. The senior management team of the Seaterra Program would like to present to View Royal Council the facts on the public concerns that led to the rejection of the rezoning application. We believe that the Seaterra Program has addressed most of the concerns raised at the public hearings. The presentation would include such topics as the architectural design, 'super bugs', contaminants of emerging concern, treatment technology, tsunami protection and project costs.

We are requesting an allocation of approximately 20 minutes on the council agenda of September 2, 2014 for the presentation, followed by questions from members of council.

Thank you,

Albert Sweetnam, P. Eng Program Director Seaterra Program
