1.0 INTRODUCTION
On August 7,2002, a Public Information Centre was held in Council Chambers of the
Municipal Administrative Centre to present to the public alternatives for the
improvement of traffic flow in the northwest area of Bowmanville. The proposals
centered on extending Longworth Avenue from Scugog Street westerly to Regional
Road No. 57 with options for alignment and grade also presented.
This Public Information Centre was the second mandatory point of contact in the
Municipal Environment Assessment process for the project, which began with a
published Notice of Commencement in February 2000. The project is planned under
Schedule C in accordance with the Class EA process. The lengthy time frame from
commencement to the second point of contact was primarily the result of inactivity in
getting the creek realignment works underway.
In all, eight members of the public attended the centre and four registered at the meeting
and gave written comments. In general, the response was favourable but concerns were
raised particularly with respect to environmental issues related to the former landfill site
located in the vicinity of the proposed road alignment. A copy of the register and the
written comments are provided as Attachment NO.1.
2.0 BACKGROUND
The pace of development within the Bowmanville Urban Area has put increased
pressure on the road network and its ability to provide efficient movement of traffic.
Consequently, a study was commissioned to review transportation needs within the
context of the Official Plan of the Municipality of Clarington. This study, referred to as
"Transportation and Implementation Study, Phase 1 - Bowmanville", confirmed that a
major requirement of the future road network is an extension of Longworth Avenue (in
four lanes) westerly to Regional Road No. 57. As a consequence of this, the
Environmental Assessment process was commenced to implement this
recommendation.
724
REPORT NO.: EGD-54-02
PAGE 3
In conjunction with the extension of Longworth Avenue, realignment of the Bowmanville
Creek and construction of a large storm sewer outfall are also necessary. This
undertaking was the subject of an earlier Environmental Assessment carried out by
Sernas Associates but to date final approval for this work has not been received from
the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and no construction has been undertaken.
Completion of this work is the responsibility of Halloway Holdings Limited. Their
obligations are documented in a Front-Ending Agreement they entered into with the
Municipality in May of 1997. The Director of Engineering Services has had numerous
discussions with representatives of Halloway Holdings Limited over the past year
regarding the need to complete the creek realignment works in order to permit the
extension of Longworth Avenue. These discussions have concluded with letters from
both Valiant Property Management and their consultants Sernas Associates to the
Director of Engineering Services. The letters commit Halloway Holdings Limited to
complete the works in 2003 and define a schedule common to that of the Municipality
for approvals and construction. Copies of the letters are included in this report as
Attachment Nos. 4 and 5.
3.0 PROJECT STATUS
In addition to the delay in the creek realignment, concerns were raised at the
Information Centre, which have also affected the project schedule.
Comments raised at the Information Centre pertaining to the extent and content of the
former landfill site have dictated that further field investigation be carried out to fully
assess the conditions and implications of a larger landfill area than what has been
determined to date. This investigation is ongoing and expected to be completed by
December 13, 2002.
We believe the landfill limits established in the report prepared by Soil Probe in April
1995 are accurate. The investigation in the vicinity of the proposed road works showed
clean ground conditions. Further soils investigation for the project bridge foundations
and road embankment construction is necessary however, and this is now being
undertaken. With this field work, some additional probes are being advanced to satisfy
725
REPORT NO.: EGD-54-02
PAGE 4
concerns raised at the Public Information Centre in August 2002 with respect to the
limits of the landfill area.
In conjunction with the soils work, Mr. Lawrence Jackson, Co-Director, Advance
Archaeology, has been hired to undertake additional archaeological assessment of the
area. This work is currently ongoing and will be completed by December 20, 2002.
Following the above investigations and assessment of impact, the Environmental Study
Report will be completed in accordance with the Environment Assessment process. A
Notice of Completion will be published to advise Review Agencies and the General
Public of the status of the project.
It is anticipated that the Environmental Study Report will be on record by the second
week of January 2003, barring unforeseen developments from the work currently under
way. It is anticipated that Construction will commence in June of 2003.
4.0 PUBLIC COMMENT
In all, eight altemative approaches were outlined in documentation at the Public
Information Centre. The preferred alternative was presented as a high level bridge
crossing of the Bowmanville Creek with two horizontal alignment options displayed for
this approach.
Verbal and written comments received at the Information Centre were generally
favourable. The alternative of using Concession Road NO.3 was suggested by at least
one attendee as a viable alternative. There was urgency expressed by several
residents from Jackman Road about the current state of repair of the Bailey Bridge
which carries Jackman Road over the creek. In addition, removal of this structure was
seen as a matter of urgency by those same residents.
As previously mentioned, concern was expressed about disturbing the existing landfill
site for channel realignment or excavation for structure foundations. The need to
realign Bowmanville Creek drew the most concern, although it was not the focus of this
726
REPORT NO.: EGO-54-02
PAGE 5
Information Centre and had previously been dealt with as a separate project through the
EA process.
5.0 CONCLUSION
While it was originally intended to start construction of the Longworth Avenue Extension
in 2002, completion was always anticipated for 2003. Clarington staff still believe that
even with the delay in obtaining project approvals, a Fall 2003 completion date is
realistic.

Re: Bowmanvllle Creek Valley Works
Municipality of Clarington
Our Protect No. 94010
We understand that the Municipality of Clartngton is proceeding with the design
and construction of the Longworth Avenue t>r1dge. The bridge piers and
abutments are reliant upon Bowmanville Creek realignment works to be
completed. The c:o-ordlnatlon of these works were the subject of meetings on May
28, 2002 between Valiant Property Management and municipal staff; and on June
28, 2002 between the approval agencies - Central Lake Ontario Conservation
(CLOC), Municipality of Clartngton, Ministry of Natural Resources, Department of
FISheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), and the consulting engineer, Semas
Associates to revtew the process and schedule for Longworth Avenue bridge and
that of Bowmanvtlle Creek realignment workS. ihese matters were also di8c;o'-llCI
at various times, the latest over the past several weeks, to confirm how these
works will proceed.
It was the condusion of the June 28. 2002 meeting and acknowledged by CLOe
and the DFO, that the creek realignment design was acceptable In principle. A
copy of the minutes of that meeting is attached. We have asked for CLOC and
DFO to acknowledge this In writing to assist you in reporting to Council.
We have prepared the following schedule for the creel< realignment work to be
undertaken by Valiant Property Management and to assist In co~ordinatlng the

Dear Sir:
Re: Bownumville Creek VaUey Works
Municipality of C1arington
"
Valiant Property Management acknowledges responsibility for the Bowmanville Creek
Realigmnent Work summarized in the North Bowmanville Stormwater Management
project noted in the front-ending agreement between Halloway Holdings Ltd. and the
Muncipality ofClarington as H-A works.
The valley works are contemplated to be undertaken in two stages: the first phase would
act as a monitoring control section and would be proposed for the section of creek from
the north limit to the proposed realigmnent southerly for.balfthe distance to the Hockin
erosion site. This would provide the realignment to Bowmanville Creek in the area
affected by Longworth Avenue bridge construction.
We are committed to meeting the schedule as per the attached correspondence forwarded
by Semas Associates (October 28rl1, 2002) including the timing for Phase V and VI (plan
18T -87057) registration and construction of the related over-the-bank works presented in
Semas Associates correspondence of October 29dl, 2002.
Please accept this as our undertaking to proceed with the work.
