Nigigoonsiminikaaning Wastewater Treatment and Collection System Project
This is a non-designated project on federal lands or outside Canada. The listed authorities are responsible for the project assessment.
Nigigoonsiminikaaning First Nation (Rainy Lake 26A) is located in northwestern Ontario approximately 40 kilometres east of Fort Frances, on Highway No. 11 (Trans-Canada Hwy), and is comprised of approximately 2,000 hectares (4,942 acres) of land. The project includes development of a communal wastewater collection and treatment system in the community for a design period of 20 years. The wastewater system will consist of approximately 3,500 m of small diameter low-pressure sewer system with individual septic tank effluent pumping (STEP) systems at each house/building and a packaged membrane bioreactor wastewater treatment plant located in a new building. The existing individual on- site septic systems will be removed or decommissioned.
