Tuck Creek Class EA Flood Assessment and Crossing Upgrades at Rockwood Drive and Rexway Drive
General Overview
The City of Burlington hired IBI Group to conduct a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study Schedule 'B' for the section of Tuck Creek located south of Fairview Street to the hydro corridor (see Study Area Plan). This is to find opportunities for flood mitigation, while protecting the natural heritage features and functions. It will also look at upgrades to the culverts located at Rockwood Drive and Rexway Drive.
We are doing this work to follow up after the flood on Aug. 4, 2014, during which crossings at Rockwood Drive, and Rexway Drive were flooded.
The flood assessment study is being conducted 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 make recommendations, leading to municipally-led work to reduce flooding risks. A set of alternative solutions will be evaluated and presented to the public and agencies for comment at various points throughout the study. The study will also identify mitigative measures to reduce impacts of the work.
