Plant still planned for McLoughlin Point

Re: “Discouraged by lengthy process, CRD abandons base sewage site,” June 8. The article creates some confusion — some who read the story may believe that the Capital Regional District is no longer proposing to build a sewage-treatment plant there.

The article creates some confusion — some who read the story may believe that the Capital Regional District is no longer proposing to build a sewage-treatment plant there. I have received many reports from people happy that McLoughlin Point is no longer a site for the sewage plant.

To clarify: The CRD abandoning the idea of siting a sewage-treatment facility on federal lands surrounding Esquimalt does not mean that it has abandoned the idea of locating the plant at McLoughlin Point.

The McLoughlin rezoning application put forward by the CRD is still before Esquimalt council.
