Ottawa River Outfalls Rehabilitation

Project description

The City of Ottawa is responsible for maintaining its storm and combined sewer outfalls. Several outfalls to the Ottawa River between Shirley’s Bay and Petrie Island were constructed in the 1930’s to 1960’s. They are now nearing end of life and require rehabilitation.

Given the scope, complexity and permitting requirements to complete this project, replacement and/or rehabilitation of the various outfalls will take place in phases. Rehabilitation of the first three outfalls began in the summer of 2019, with final landscaping work to be completed in the spring of 2020. Rehabilitation works on the second phase of outfalls was undertaken in the summer and fall of 2020. The third phase is currently in design and construction is expected between 2021 and 2022.

Project timing

The anticipated construction period for each of the outfalls is presented in the table below. For most of the outfalls, it is anticipated that construction work at each site will take less than 2 months to complete. For the more complex outfalls in the third phase of the project, construction may take upwards of 6 months to complete. The actual construction timing will be subject to final environmental approvals.

COVID-19 is an unprecedented situation and the City of Ottawa is committed to protecting people and the community. The Province of Ontario has allowed certain businesses and workplaces to reopen, including all municipal construction projects, as long as they comply with strict measures for public health and safe operations. In addition to the City’s ongoing work on critical infrastructure projects, we are now able to resume work on other construction projects that were paused due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The City is working closely with the industry and complying with restrictions and recommendations provided by municipal, provincial and federal health officials, as well as the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development.

The City of Ottawa (City) will be undertaking work to rehabilitate the sewer outfall in your community.

What: Work will involve removal or replacement of sections of damaged and corroded pipe, as required. To improve erosion control, existing stones will be hand placed at the outfall location.

Why: The City of Ottawa initiated the Ottawa River Outfalls Rehabilitation Project with the objective of rehabilitating twenty storm sewer outfalls where they discharge into the Ottawa River.

When: This work is expected to start in August 2020 and to be completed by end of September 2020.

Where: The outfall is located on the shoreline of the Ottawa River, just west of the Sir George-Etienne Cartier Parkway and north of the Rockcliffe Park Pavillion.

Who: The City of Ottawa has retained In Depth Contracting to complete the work.

Accessibility

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. The City makes every effort to provide access through and around construction sites. If you require special accommodations, please contact the undersigned. Accessible formats and communication supports are available, upon request.

Traffic Impacts

Construction access to the site will be via the existing parking lot west of the outfall from the Rockcliffe Driveway. No large construction machinery is expected to be required for this work and, as such, limited disruptions to existing adjacent pathways are anticipated.

Construction Disruptions

The contractor will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the everyday life of your family but, as you can appreciate, there may be some inconvenience during the course of the work, such as delays when travelling through the construction zone, noise and dust. You may also feel vibrations due to heavy equipment operations. Vibrations from construction activities are quite common and rarely cause any problems. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation.

For construction activity hours of work, the City of Ottawa follows provincial requirements and the City’s the Noise By-law (2017-255).

Notice of commencement

The City of Ottawa is responsible for maintaining its storm and combined sewer outfalls to the Ottawa River to an acceptable level of service. Based on a regular inspection programme, twenty nine (29) of these outfalls have now been identified as needing rehabilitation to the physical/structural components.

The Process

This study is being planned as a Master Plan project in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, 2007, which is an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act. Upon completion of Phase 2 of this study, during which alternative solutions will be identified and evaluated, a Master Plan document will be prepared that will establish the outfalls rehabilitation plan.

Consultation

Members of the public, agencies, and other interested persons are invited to provide comments for incorporation into the planning and design of this project, and/or to ask to be placed on the project's mailing list.
