Notice of Study Commencement – Environmental Assessment Study

Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study
Road Network Expansion, Vars Industrial Park, Township of Russell

Public Notice – March 13, 2024

This notice is to inform stakeholders and interested parties that the Corporation of the Township of Russell is initiating a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to review and study the proposed expansion of the road network within the Vars Industrial Park. The road network expansion intends to provide access to subject lands, optimize new lot configuration and improve transportation efficiency to and within the park, all while considering existing conditions and constraints.

The Schedule B Class EA (Environmental Assessment) process aims to thoroughly review the expansion of the roadway infrastructure within the industrial park. The expansions would involve the construction of new road ROWs (Right of Way), and implementing associated drainage infrastructure, to expand the current road network and to assess potential connections to Burton Road and Eadie Road.

The purpose of the Environmental Assessment is to assess the project area existing conditions, design alternatives and identify potential environmental impacts associated with the roadway expansion, and ensure design is compliant with relevant regulatory agencies.
