Wastewater collected within the Port Perry Urban Area is currently treated at the Nonquon River Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP), with treated effluent discharged to the Nonquon River on a seasonal basis. Wastewater flows are nearing the rated capacity of the WPCP; therefore, the Region of Durham is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to plan for additional wastewater treatment capacity to service the Port Perry Urban Area.

The Class EA process provides members of the public and agencies with opportunities for input, and ensures that all comments are appropriately addressed and documented for the public record. The Region has engaged the consulting engineering firm of CH2M Hill to assist with the public consultation initiatives, as well as to provide technical expertise during the Class EA.

This website has been created to present background information on the study, facilitate access to key project documentation, and provide updates on the status of the study. Comments may also be submitted to the project team via the website. The website will be updated regularly as additional information becomes available, and we invite you to visit the website throughout the study.
