BACKGROUND AND REPORT: Correspondence and a concept plan has been received from Twin Brand Orchards Incorporated requesting permission to lay a plastic water pipeline along the Third Concession of (former) Clarke Township, in order to provide seasonal irrigation to new orchard stock. The Public Works Department has reviewed the subject proposal and it is felt that, providing the facility is designed and installed in accordance with Town direction and requirements , and that a satisfactory Agreement related to the pipeline is legally in place, the work may proceed. t� ry , 4 �� WD-36-82 - 2 _ The procedure for this project will be as follows: 1 . Submission of a draft Agreement, prepared by the proponents ' solicitor, covering the items detailed in the attached letter to Messrs. Twin Brand Orchards Incorporated. 2. Review of the draft Agreement by the Public Works Department and the Town Solicitor, and revisions to the same, if necessary. 3. Execution of the Agreement.

Ontario. LOA 1HO. April 27, 1982. Attention: Mr. David A. Gibson. Dear Sir: Re: Farm Irrigation & Water Supply System. Lot 31 , Concession 2, former Clarke. In response to your recent correspondence, this is to advise you that this Department will recommend that the Town enter into an Agreement with you in respect of the subject item. It is hoped that we may be able to submit a report to the General Purpose & Administration Committee, for recommendation to Council , in the very near future. In the meantime I would suggest that you have your Solicitor draft an Agreement which should include the following items: 1 . Design and location of the pipeline to be approved by the Director of Public Works of the Town of Newcastle, and all restorations to be to the satisfaction of the Town. I 2. Piping to be in accordance with Municipal standards for plastic piping. While this Municipality is not involved in the design of water services, we will look to the Regional Municipality of Durham for guidance, specifically Mr. W.A. Evans, Design Manager (Telephone 416: 668-7721) . 3. The pipeline is not to be attached to the bridge on the Third Concession at Pollard Road in any way whatsoever. j 4. We would prefer that the pumping station be located on the south side of the road. 5. A Road Occupancy Permit must be obtained from the Public Works Department prior to the commencement of any works. I 6. Construction is to be inspected by the Town of Newcastle and, subsequently, approved by same. 7. To cover the Town' s costs for legal fees, engineering, etc. , a deposit of $500. 00 (Five Hundred Dollars) should accomp- any the Agreement. The Agreement should also stipulate that all costs to the Town exceeding this amount will be documented by the Town and payable by Twin Brand Orchards Inc. 8. The Agreement should provide for liability insurance with the Town stipulated as co-Insured. 9. Twin Brand Orchards Inc. will indemnify and save harmless the Town from any claims, suits, damages, etc. , which may result. 10. Twin Brand Orchards Inc. will assume full responsibility for any damages to the road, or right of way of the road allow- ance, or to private property, which may result from a mal- function of the pipeline during it's operation in subsequent years. 11 . Twin Brand Orchards Inc. will relocate, at it's own cost, said pipeline, if such relocation is necessitated at a future date as a result of works on the road undertaken by the Town. It is obvious that the process involved here could be fairly time- consuming and could defeat your goal and date of commencing oper- ations so, in the interim, I would be pleased to discuss your proposal with a view to using a pipeline in the ditch, or some similar arrangement. As I have. indicated I will recommend Council 's endorsement of the pipeline proposal , and will await the submission of your draft Agreement. Should you wish to pursue the possibility of interim measures, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours truly, I R.G. Dupuis, P. Eng. , Director of Public Works.
