The Plant services the community of Paris, which has an existing population of over 12,800. The 2020 Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan for Paris concluded that the current capacity of the Paris Plant is insufficient to meet the needs of planned future growth in the community and an upgrade and expansion will be required. The plan recommended expanding the Plant to the north of the existing facility. This study will evaluate various design alternatives and treatment technologies to effectively treat the future wastewater flows from the community of Paris.

The study involves an environmental inventory/impact study, archaeological investigations, and a cultural heritage investigation. An assimilative capacity study is currently underway to update the Plant’s discharge water quality limits to ensure that negative environmental impacts are mitigated for the increased flows. All information for this study will be available for review here on EngageBrant.

Public consultation is a key component of this study. We are interested in receiving your comments. An extensive public consultation process will be arranged including two (2) Public Information Centres, newspaper advertisements, postings on the County’s website and updates to Council throughout the completion of the study.

    Thank you for your comments and your interest in this project. The treatment plant is capable of remaining in operation during high water levels in the river. If water levels are high enough, treated water must be pumped to the river rather than flowing by gravity. The treatment plant will likely be expanded into the natural area to the north of the current plant and will also be designed to remain in operation during flood conditions. The upgraded plant will also be designed to handle peak flows related to weather events, with partial plant by-passes being a very rare occurrence. The upgraded plant will include some small control buildings but the majority of new works will be in-ground tanks. We are working towards a public meeting that will be held in the fall of 2023. Conceptual designs will be presented and we will be interested in receiving feedback from the community. Again, thanks for your questions.

    Thank you for your question. Mitigating odours will be included as an important criteria for evaluating different alternatives for the upgraded facility. The facility will continue to produce occasional nuisance odours in the vicinity of the plant but any new plant layouts and designs will consider approaches to reduce negative impacts to neighboring properties.

    Theresa McClenaghan asked over 2 years ago

    Thanks so much for your comprehensive set of questions. We will most certainly address all of them as we go through this Class EA project. Through the initial public contact we have received a number of questions from the local community and we certainly do have an understanding of these local concerns and what we will need to address during this Class EA. At this time we are conducting background studies on potential archaeological and environmental impacts to the site area and conducting an effluent assimilative capacity study that will eventually lead to effluent limits for discharge to the river. Until these are completed we are not in a position to provide you with answers to your questions. Be assured that when we complete the background studies they will be shared with all interested parties and agencies and we will do our best to address all of your concerns. Our goal is to complete all of the background studies prior to the first Public Information Centre. We anticipate this to be in early fall but will depend on completion of studies, some of which may be seasonally dependent. We hope to be in a position to specifically address all of the questions we have received to date prior to the first Public Information Centre in order to make that public contact as productive as possible. Again, thank you so much for your input and we look forward to engaging with you as we try to find the best wastewater servicing solution for our community.

    Elizabeth asked over 2 years ago

    Thank you for your questions. The County completed the Paris Master Servicing Plan in 2020 and it considered various alternatives for wastewater treatment, including replacing the existing facility at a new location, or building another facility in a different location to handle the increased flows. The study ultimately confirmed that the preferred solution for wastewater treatment was to expand the existing plant to handle future flows to the design horizon of 2051. The current project is to determine the preferred design concept for expanding the existing facility in the same location. The facility will be expanded to handle future flows to the design year 2051, but flows will only increase incrementally each year. Truck traffic isn’t expected to dramatically increase for the foreseeable future. The expansion will require some of the forested lands to the north of the facility, but we plan to only remove trees where necessary.

    asked over 2 years ago

    Thank you for your questions. We’re still early in the Class EA study for the plant expansion, so we don’t yet know what the treatment process and layout will be. Some of the more odorous areas of the plant will be enclosed, but some tanks will remain open to the atmosphere. While there will always be some odour produced by the treatment plant, one of the goals of this upgrade will be to expand the plant while reducing the impact of odours on neighboring property owners.

     The expansion will require the removal of trees in the green space to the north of the existing plant, but we plan to keep as many trees as possible, including along the Race Street frontage if possible.

     Public access to the river will continue to be available at Bean Park and the Optimist Park. Public access through the existing green space will be reviewed and considered.

     Several roads in the vicinity of the treatment plant are scheduled for resurfacing, some as early as this year, 2022. Any proposed changes to the plant entrance will be identified once the layout for the expanded plant is developed, later in the study.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your question. The study is just getting started so we don’t have much to share yet, but we do know that the plant capacity will need to be increased from the current 7,000 cubic meters per day up to about 12,000 cubic meters per day. The expanded plant will likely include an improved access for truck traffic, so that they don’t need to back into the plant from Race Street. One main goal will be to expand the plant while also improving existing noise, traffic, and odour issues. Through this spring and summer we’ll be looking at the various options to expand the plant and we’ll plan for a public meeting in the fall to present the findings and to receive feedback from the public and agencies. We hope you’re able to attend that meeting in the fall.
