BACKGROUND 1.1 On October 31, 1988, the General Purpose and Administration Committee, by resolution (Report PD-202-88) authorized Planning Staff to prepare Terms of Reference and select a consultant to undertake a preliminary servicing study. This study will determine the feasibility of extending the sanitary sewer and water supply services to Special Study Area No. 11, the Courtice Industrial Park and the lands identified by the Darlington Energy Park Task Force for industrial use. The lands under consideration are identified in Attachment # 1. The Study will also examine stormwater management requirements for services to.these areas. 1.2 Council in adopting the recommendation of Report PD-202-88 on November 7, 1988 also authorized a request to the Ontario Hydro Liaison Committee to provide funds to the upset limit of $30,000. for the Servicing Feasibility Study from the Community Impact Agreement Station "All Account. As of the date of writing of this report, the Ontario Hydro Liaison Committee has not met to consider this request. 1.3 Subsequently, Staff drafted Terms of Reference for discussion purposes and established a Technical Steering Committee comprised of Planning and Works Staff from the Region of Durham and the Town. 2. COMMENTS 2.1 It was the intention of Staff to obtain quotes from several engineering firms for this work to obtain competative bids. After discussion with Regional and Town Works Staff, it was determined that Totten Sims Hubicki Associates Ltd. was the only firm with intimate knowledge of the existing sanitary sewer and water supply systems. They could thus provide efficient service without requiring substantial assistance from Regional Staff and without incurring significant time and expense at the Town's cost to understand the existing system. 3. . . REPORT 0O. : PAGE 3 _______________________________________________________________________________ Totten Sims 8ubioki have been involved with the design of the Harmony Creek Polutiou Control Plant expansion, the Port Darlington Sewage Treatment Plant and the BovmaoviIIe Water 3oppIl' Plant. They have also done some servicing studies for the Ontario Hydro Energy Park lands. It should also be noted that Totten Sims 8obicki can complete the work within four months. Given the time-frame of the Interim Control By-law on Special Study Area # ll' a tiuely report is required to enable the completion of the balance of the study. 2.2 Tot-ten Sims Bobicbi Associates Ltd have prepared detailed Terms of Reference which form Attachment # 2. The ouat to complete the study has been determined to be $29,500. It is recommended that Totten Sims Bobioki Associates Ltd. be retained to conduct the Servicing Feasibility Study, subject to the approval of funding from the Ontario Hydro Liaison Committee, and further that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to enter into the necessary Municipal Engineering Agreement.

W: l t PTY STREET.. •�' � LIBE TERMS OF REFERENCE PRELIMINARY SERVICING STUDY FOR THE HIGHWAY 401 CORRIDOR INDUSTRIAL AREAS TOWN OF NEWCASTLE Totten Sims Hubicki Associates Consultants December 1988 5 (j > -1- 1.0 INTRODUCTION: The Town of Newcastle is proposing to initiate planning studies to determine the ultimate usage of the existing and proposed industrial lands located along the Highway 401 corridor between Darlington Provincial Park and Ontario Hydro's Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. As there is no existing municipal sanitary sewage or water supply works within this immediate area, a servicing study must be undertaken prior to the planning stage to determine the feasibility, costs and the options available for extending sewage and water services to the area. Totten Sims Hubicki Associates have been requested to prepare detailed Terms of Reference for the provision of engineering services to undertake the above-noted study for the Town of Newcastle. 2.0 PURPOSE The purpose of the study is to examine the feasibility of extending municipal sanitary sewage and water supply facilities to the area. If these services can be economically provided to the area, a detailed planning process can be initiated to determine the ultimate usage of the lands. In addition to the servicing feasibility study, the treatment of storm drainage from the study area will be addressed. 3'.0 LOCATION The potential industrial lands to be studied are comprised of three separate areas. For identification purposes, these areas have been identified as Areas A, B and C. Area A: This area includes Special Study Area No. 11 of the Region of Durham Official Plan. These lands are generally located within lots 25 to 31 Broken Front Concession and have the following general boundaries: North - Highway 401 South - CN Rail West - Darlington Provincial Park East - Solina Road -2- 3.0 LOCATION (Cont'd) Area B: This area is identified as the Courtice Industrial Park. These lands are located within lots 24 to 33 inclusive, of Concession I of the former Township of Darlington. The general boundaries of this site are as follows: North - CP Rail South - Highway 401 West - West limit of lot 33 East' - East limit of lot 24 Area C: Area C is known as the Ontario Hydro Industrial Park. These lands are located within lots 18, 19 and 20 of Concession I, former Township of Darlington. The general boundaries of this site are: North - Highway 401 South - CN Rail West - West limit of lot 20 East - East limit of lot 18 4.0 SCOPE OF WORK The scope of work required for this project was discussed at a meeting held on December 13, 1988 with Region of Durham and Town of Newcastle staff. The work is limited to the preparation of a feasibility study report to identify the servicing alternatives for each site. Public input will not be considered as part of this project. Public input will be solicited during the future planning component of the work to be undertaken by the Town of Newcastle. The outcome of the study will form part of the background reports for the planning process. It is acknowledged that the works ultimately recommended by this study may be subject to the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association Class EA document for Municipal Water and Sewage Projects. In this regard, the work will be undertaken in two (2) phases in accordance with Phase 1 and portions of Phase 2 of the planning and design process for Class EA Type Municipal Sewage and Water projects. The phases to be undertaken are: Phase 1 - Identification of the Problems Phase 2 - Identification of the Alternative Solutions -3- 4.0 SCOPE OF WORK (Cont'd) The study will be managed by a Technical Co-ordinating Committee comprised of staff of the Town, Region and TSH. The Region of Durham will review and provide comments on the water supply and sanitary sewage aspects of the project. The Town of Newcastle will be responsible for the storm drainage component of the project. 5.0 WORK PROGRAM 5.1 Phase 1- Identification of the Problems Under Phase 1 of the project, the Consultant shall undertake the following tasks: a) Determine the existing and ultimate capacities of the Harmony Creek and the Port Darlington Water Pollution Control Plants and provide an assessment of their capability for handling sewage flows from the study areas. b) For each of the three study areas, prepare base information indicating catchment areas for the sanitary sewer works, the location of future trunk sewers and the potential location for Water Pollution Control Pumping Stations and forcemains. c) For each of the three study areas, the Consultant will identify other factors such as topography, etc. that may affect the extension of ` sewer services to the study areas and the provision of sewer services within the study area. d) Calculate the estimated sanitary sewage flows from each service area based on the assumed 'Prestige Industrial' designation for future land uses in Area C and the land adjacent Highway 401 east of Regional road 34 in Area A and Area B. 'General Industrial' uses will be assumed for the remaining area. e) Determine the catchment area for sanitary sewer drainage between the north limit of Area B and the existing Courtice Urban Area Boundary which could ultimately drain into Areas A and B if these lands were developed in the future. f) Calculate the estimated sanitary sewage flow from the area identified under (e) above. g) Determine the existing and ultimate capacity of the existing Whitby - Oshawa Zone 1 water system and the Bowmanville Water Supply Plant and provide an assessment of their capability for providing water to these sites. h) Prepare base information indicating location and size of existing water distribution mains in the vicinity of these sites. -4- 5.0 WORK PROGRAM (Cont'd) i) For each of the three study areas, identify other features such as topography, etc. which may affect the extension of water services into the study area or the provision of water services internally within the study area. J) Calculate water consumption requirements for each of the three study areas based on the proposed 'Prestige Industrial' and 'General Industrial' land use designations as described in (d) above. k) Calculate the additional water consumption requirements that would result from future development of the area identified under (e) above. 1) For each of the three study areas, prepare base information indicating the current patterns of storm water run off and the existing infrastructure for handling storm drainage within the study area and from adjacent areas, if applicable. m) For each of the study areas, identify major factors such as topography, etc. both internal and adjacent to the study areas which may affect the provision of facilities for the management of storm water runoff. 5.2 Phase 2- Identification of the Alternative Solutions Under Phase 2 of the Project, the Consultant will determine .and evaluate the available alternative solutions, and associated capital and operating costs to the service these three sites. For sanitary sewage servicing, these options shall include, but not necessarily limited to, the following scenarios: Scenario A - Provide treatment facilities for Study Area A, B and C from the Harmony Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. Scenario B - Provide treatment facilities for Study Areas A and B from the Harmony Creek Water Pollution Control Plant and service Study Area C from the Port Darlington Water Pollution Control Plant. Scenario C - Similar to Scenario A except that provision is provided for future servicing of the vacant lands between the north limit of Area B and the existing Courtice Urban Area Boundary. Scenario D - Same as Scenario B except that provision is provided for future servicing of the vacant lands between the north limit of Area B and the present Courtice Urban Area Boundary. -5- 5.0 WORK PROGRAM (Cont'd) For water supply servicing, the options shall include investigations on the feasibility of providing water from the Whitby - Oshawa Zone I system, from the Bowmanville Water Supply Plant or from a combination of both systems. For storm drainage treatment, preliminary storm water management plans will be formulated for each study area. Those storm water management plans will be conceptual in nature as the road patterns and other planning issues have not been finalized. 6.0 PROJECT STAFF Totten Sims Hubicki Associates, an independent Canadian consulting firm established in 1962 provides a broad range of consulting services to government, municipal and private clients.
