Business Plan.
Objective 6 comprises of projects and programs to meet future Overflow compliance. The enhanced
program, above projects designated by the RWWFP, will have a 30-year implementation period.
Objective 7 comprises of projects and programs to meet future stormwater quality compliance. The
implementation timing of 10 years is for stormwater quality program development.
The development and analysis of the alternative resource plans was a multi-step iterative process
involving the Halifax Water technical team comprised of staff and consultants collaborating with the
Tellus team.
One of the central tasks of the IRP was to build a working framework for future integrated resource
planning. This in turn required that the IRP process itself be defined as well as linking the IRP to other
Halifax Water and HRM planning and financial processes.
The concept is illustrated in Section 7.6, Figure 7.2, and Halifax Water IRP Planning Overview.
As noted in the future IRP recommendations, it is recommended Halifax Water evaluate the adequacy
of Halifax Water's existing institutional capacity and staffing to implement the programs and projects
identified in the IRP.
