General Overview
The City of Burlington has initiated the West Aldershot Erosion Control Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study to address erosion concerns and produce detail design for erosion control works within the study area. This study is being completed as a 'Schedule B' project in compliance with the Municipal Engineers Association Class EA process.
Associated Engineering has been retained to complete this Environmental Assessment for the city. This study will identify the needs and opportunities for the implementation of erosion control mitigation measures for West Aldershot Creek between Fairwood Place and Lake Ontario. The Class EA Study will develop and evaluate a variety of remedial measures to address erosion issues, infrastructure protection and enhancement of aquatic and riparian habitats.
During this study, the existing conditions will be assessed, and possible mitigation measures will be evaluated and presented to the public, stakeholders and regulating agencies for comments at various stages during the EA study. A preferred solution will then be recommended, with preparation of a Project File Report. Detailed design drawings will be prepared in 2018-2019 and construction is expected to occur in 2019-2020.
The study area is defined as an area section approximately 500 m along Aldershot Creek, from the 750 mm storm sewer outfall near Fairwood Place/Aldershot School to Lake Ontario.
