financial capability.<br />
6. IRP process will model planning and financial<br />
scenarios resulting in a range of resource plans<br />

Under the compliance driver, Objective 4 comprises of projects and programs to meet future<br />
WWTF compliance. As noted in Table 5.4 the timeframe to implement future WSER compliance<br />
for the HHSP WWTFs is 20 years. The timeframe to implement nutrient compliance for WWTFs<br />
discharging to sensitive receiving waters is 10 years. The nutrient reduction strategy will occur<br />
as per the timing period implemented in the RWWFP.<br />
Objective 5 comprises of projects and programs to meet future Drinking Water compliance. The<br />
implementation for the projects and programs was within 5 years as per the <strong>Halifax</strong> Water Five<br />
Year Capital Plan.<br />
Objective 6 comprises of projects and programs to meet future wastewater overflow<br />
compliance. The enhanced program, above projects designated by the RWWFP, will have a 30-<br />
year implementation period.<br />
Objective 7 comprises of projects and programs to meet future stormwater quality compliance.<br />
The implementation timing of 10 years is for stormwater quality program development.<br />
<strong>Halifax</strong> Water embarked on the preparation of an Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) for its water,<br />
wastewater, and stormwater services in order to define its overall program and resource needs<br />
for the next thirty years (2013 -2043). Specific projects and programs were allocated to each<br />
objective in the financial plan from existing <strong>Halifax</strong> Water initiatives and new program<br />
initiatives (Section 5.4), identifying the long-term servicing needs of <strong>Halifax</strong> Water’s water,<br />
wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. Section 5 identifies how the IRP was developed<br />
and analysed in a cost-effective and reliable manner.<br />
