How will we site the facilities?

approach modeled after the Ministry of Environment’s Statement of Environmental Values

siting and development will be based on:

direction at important junctures

opportunities for public consultation and stakeholder involvement

an open and consultative process

Siting Process Public

Consultation (we are here)

propose siting methodology

finalize siting methodology and evaluation criteria – report to County Council

identify potential County-owned sites and willing vendor privately-owned sites

Screen 1 - use exclusionary criteria to remove sites from further evaluation and develop long list of sites

Screen 2 - further screening of remaining sites using additional criteria to determine short list

Screen 3 - detailed comparative evaluation of short list

preferred site presented to County Council

Public Consultation
