General Overview
The City of Burlington has hired Aquafor Beech Limited to do a Flood Mitigation Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the section of Appleby Creek between Fairview Street and New Street - see Study Area Plan.
The study is being done because of the flood of Aug. 4, 2014. The study is to find ways to prevent flooding, while protecting the natural heritage of the creek. This study is being done as a 'Schedule B' project in compliance with the Municipal Engineers Association document Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and is addressing Phases 1 and 2 of the Class EA Process.
The Class Environmental Assessment will set up recommendations, leading to municipality-led capital works to look at and fix flooding risks. A set of alternative solutions will be evaluated and presented to the public and agencies for comments at various points during the study. The study will also find ways
to reduce impacts of the work.
