Tenth Line and Mountain Road Improvements - Class EA Addendum Report

The Municipal Class Environment Assessment (MCEA) document, as published by the Municipal Engineers Association, outlines a planning process for municipalities to follow to complete infrastructure projects in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA).

In 2019, Ainley Group, on behalf of the Town of Collingwood, filed a Notice of Completion for the Tenth Line and Mountain Road Improvements Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA). The purpose of the Class EA was to examine road and intersection improvements along the Tenth Line, from Sixth Street to Mountain Road (approximately 1.2 km)and along Mountain Road from Cambridge Street to the Tenth Line (approximately 1.3 km) in an effort to address capacity and operational deficiencies and to accommodate future growth.

If there are any significant modifications to a project or changes in the environmental setting for a project that occur after the filing of the ESR, this is to be reviewed by the proponent and an addendum to the ESR completed.

The addendum must describe the circumstances necessitating the change, the environmental implications of the change, and what, if anything can and will be done to mitigate any negative environmental impacts.
