Notice of PIC: Town of Penetanguishene Class Environmental Assessment Schedule ‘B’ Municipal Snow Storage Location

The Town of Penetanguishene (‘Town’) has initiated a Schedule ‘B’ Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for the selection of a Town owned storage location for snow that is removed from the road network and Town owned parking lot areas during winter maintenance operations. Currently, the Town utilizes one (1) privately owned snow storage site situated on Fuller Avenue between Robillard Drive and Laurier Road, which has been the solitary storage area for snow since 2018.

Preliminary Class EA Report:

A Preliminary Study Report has been completed and has identified a preferred snow storage location and an evaluation of multiple locations according to the Schedule ‘B’ Class EA guidelines. The results of the preliminary report are to be presented to the public through a Public Information Centre (‘PIC’).

A PIC is being held to provide an opportunity for the Public to review and provide input on the new snow storage preferred location. The PIC will consist of a short presentation followed by a question-and-answer period. Representatives from the project team will be present to provide the presentation and answer questions regarding the preliminary study report.

For those members of the public that wish to attend the PIC virtually, please contact Sarah Marshall, Communications and Technology Coordinator, at smarshall@penetanguishene.ca.
