UNDERTAKING REGISTERED:

Holyrood Residential Pilot Sewage Treatment System                                   (Reg. 1189)
Proponent: Town of Holyrood

The proponent plans to construct a pilot residential sewage treatment system on Country Path Road in Holyrood. The system consists of three pilot scale Kickuth bioreactors. The Kickuth bioreactor is a natural treatment process which consists of a subsurface flow wetland engineered to treat wastewater from a variety of sources.

Construction of the sewage treatment system is tentatively scheduled to begin in the spring of 2005. The project was registered on April 8; public comments are due by May 16; and the minister's decision is due by May 23.
