2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On June 4, 1987, the former Town of Newcastle entered into a
subdivision agreement with Foster Creek Developments Limited
to develop certain lands by plan of subdivision, located in
Newcastle Village and described as Plan 10M-799 (Attachment
No. 1). The agreement required the developer to construct all

roadworks,. including hot-mix paving, curb and gutter,
sidewalks, boulevard sodding and street trees, a storm
drainage system and street lights, hereinafter referred to as
the 'Works'.
2.2 The subdivision Works were completed in two (2) phases. The
main portion of the subdivision was completed first and all of
those Works were accepted by the Municipality through Report
WD-16-92.
2.3 The culvert and bridge Works on Edward Street were completed
secondly, and issued separate 'Completion Certificates' dated
as follows:
-initial Stage Works: January 2, 1992.
-Final Stage Works: January 2, 1993.
The Agreement required the Initial Stage Works to be placed on
a two (2) year maintenance period while the Final Stage Works
be placed on a one (1) year maintenance period. Accordingly,
both maintenance periods expired on January 2, 1994.
2.4 All of the Works were re-inspected and all deficiencies have
now been corrected and are satisfactory. In addition, a
certification letter has been received from the project
Geotechnical Engineers, Gibson & Associates Limited,
certifying the integrity of the culvert slope stability
(Attachment No. 2).
2.5 Accordingly, it is now appropriate to issue a 'Certificate of
Acceptance' for both the Initial and Final Stage Works. The
subdivision agreement provides for this certificate to be
issued by the Director of Public Works, subject to the
approval of Council.

Re: Edward Street Culvert
Newcastle, Municipality of Clarington
Gentlemen:
September 27, 1994
Our Fle No. F-tiW
This letter preserrts the results of our review and assessment of the geotechnical aspects
of embankment stability at the Edward Street Culvert in the urban community of
Newcastle, Municpality of Clarington. The geotechnical assessment has been carried out
as requested by your letter of August 31, 1994.
Our geotechnical engineering assessment has included the following scope of work:
• review of the project files concerning subsurface soil conditions, embankment
stability, evaluation of the May, 1991 instability, the consequent plans for
remediation and the actual remedial construction;
• a review of background and more recent settlement hub data provided by Biddle
& Associates;
• plus a thorough walkover sfte examination on August 26, 1994 of the embankment
and its slopes.
The results of our geotechnical engineering assessment indicate that there are no
apparent indicators of embankment slope instability or potential distress. Rather, the
results clearly suggest that the embankment has reached a satisfactory level of slope
stability from a geotechnical viewpoint. The current stability is expected to further improve
with time in the future as the formerty soft and wet embankment soils in the outer shell
are further weathered and dried.
In conclusion, it is our opinion that the Edward Street embankment is in excellent overall
condition. Remedial construction during the summer of 1991 to repair the damaged
pavement and failed side slopes appears to have been successful. We consider the total
embankment and culvert system to be safe and secure from a geotechnical viewpoint.
