Halifax Water Integrated Resource Plan Executive Summary ES 5.3 IRP Objectives Fourteen specific IRP objectives were elaborated for the three IRP drivers: Growth, Regulatory Compliance and Asset Renewal. The objectives were based on the current Halifax Water Levels of Service (LOS) as presented in the Halifax Water Corporate Balanced Scorecard (CBS) 7 . The objectives reflect the current and anticipated compliance requirements (seven objectives) for the three infrastructure systems, optimal asset renewal requirements; as well as a number of related issues addressing water and wastewater system reliability, adequate stormwater capacity, adaptability to climate change and energy efficiency (five objectives); and two growth related objectives addressing the need to extend servicing requirements and the requirement to manage flow capacity allocations. The specific objectives are presented in Table ES-2. Table ES-2 Driver IRP Objectives Infrastructure System Wastewater Objective 1. Meet Current Nova Scotia Environment WWTF Permit to Operate.

Halifax Water Integrated Resource Plan Executive Summary ES 6. ES 6.1 ES 6.2 PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS Existing Halifax Water projects and programs as well as new or refined programs and projects proposed through the IRP process were key ingredients in the preparation of the alternative IRP plans. Existing Programs and Projects The existing projects and programs included in the IRP were obtained from three principal sources. The Halifax Water Five-Year Business Plan 8 , which provided a projected Five-Year Capital Plan for the period 2012 to 2017, was the first source. Since the FY 2012 - 2013 was already underway during the preparation of the IRP, only the final four years were included at a value of approximately $200 million. The individual projects were programmed into the IRP with the same timing as in the original Five-Year Capital Plan. Projects, which in many cases were continuations of programs and projects initiated in the Five-Year Business Plan period, were allocated to 2018 and beyond. This included about $410 million in additional projects that were further refined through the IRP as to both capital requirement and timing. The recently completed draft Regional Wastewater Functional Plan (RWWFP) 9 with an estimated cost of $645 million was also incorporated into the IRP. The RWWFP provides Halifax Water with a wastewater servicing plan addressing both the needs for future growth and offsetting the impact of growth on wastewater overflows. The RWWFP examined a wide range of alternatives settling on a regionalized wastewater strategy. The projects originating in the RWWFP were incorporated into the IRP with the same timing and capital requirement as the RWWFP. New or Refined Programs In addition to the existing programs and projects, a number of new projects and programs were developed. As well, some of the existing programs were refined through the work performed during the preparation of the IRP and incorporated into the alternative IRP plans. Table ES-3 summarizes these programs. 2 Halifax Water Five-Year Business Plan 2012-2013 to 2016-2017, Halifax Water, December 2011 3 Regional Wastewater Functional Plan, Halifax Water, June 2012 Revision: 2012-10-29 Integrated Resource Plan – Executive Summary ES-11 October 31 2012 Page 13 of 272
