About The Project
FRENCH CREEK Pollution Control Centre (FCPCC) treats wastewater from about 29,000 people and businesses. It serves the communities of: Qualicum Beach, Parksville, French Creek, Pacific Shores, Surfside, and Barclay Crescent. FCPCC also treats trucked waste from homes with septic systems and holding tanks. The facility currently provides Secondary Treatment, which is the provincial and federal requirement.
The RDN is developing an expansion and odour upgrade to:
• increase plant capacity by about 30 per cent and meet the service area demands to 2040,
• improve operational effciency and replace aging infrastructure in the existing plant,
• incorporate extensive odour control upgrades for the existing plant,
• include odour controls for the expansion, and
• contribute to carbon neutrality by using solar panels and recovering heat from treated effuent.
