SERVICING FEASIBILITY STUDY - HIGHWAY 401 CORRIDOR INDUSTRIAL
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended to the Hydro Liaison Committee:
1. That Report ADMIN. 2 - 89 be received;
2. That the Terms of Reference for the Servicing Feasibility
Study contained in Attachment #2 of Report PD-10-89 be endorsed;
2. That the selection of Totten Sims Hubicki Associates Limited
for the purpose of conducting the subject study as approved by Council
of the Town of Newcastle on January 16 1989 be endorsed;
3. That the required funding for the Servicing Feasibility Study
in the amount of $29,500 be drawn from the Community Impact
Agreement Station 'A' Account of the Agreement between Ontario
Hydro and the Corporation of the Town of Newcastle dated March 1977.
REPORT:
In the recent past, considerable discussion has taken place by the Committee
regarding the provision of additional serviced lands to assist in the stimulation
of employment opportunities in the Town. In particular, this has been reviewed
and discussed previously in relationship to the impact of the declining workforce
at the Darlington Generating Station.
ADMIN 2 - 89 Page 2
Accordingly, the Town has initiated planning studies to determine the ultimate
usage of the existing potential industrial lands located along the Highway 401
corridor between Darlington Provincial Park and the west limits of the Bowmanville
Urban Area. As there is no existing municipal sanitary sewer and water supply
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 sewer and water services to the general area. As the Committee
realizes, this area is vital to the Town's economic development. It has been
determined that no further "unserviced" industrial land should be designated and
that as soon as possible, it would be desirable to provide full services to the
current unserviced industrial lands currently under development.
Town Council has given approval for three (3) areas to be considered for servicing
industrial lands as follows:
Area A Lands designated as Special Study Area #11 in the Durham
Region Official Plan bounded by Darlington Provincial Park, Highway
401, Darlington Generating Station and north of Lake Ontario.
Area B Lands currently designed for unserviced industrial uses in
south Courtice, roughly bounded by Highway 401, West limit
of Lot 33, CP Rail and east limit of Lot 24.
Area C Lands within Ontario Hydro property previously considered
for the Energy Park and potentially available for prestige
industrial uses.
In the meantime, Town staff has conducted preliminary meetings with Regional
officials and Totten Sims Hubicki Associates Limited on the nature and scope of the
work. Terms of Reference have been prepared and form Attachment #2 to Report
#PD-10-89 provided. Town Council adopted the recommendations of said report on
January 16 1989 which authorized the hiring of Totten Sims Hubicki subject to the
approval of this request for funding from the Hydro Impact Funds. The consultants
are in a position to commence work immediately.

1. 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 "A" 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
i
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 j
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.

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
CControl 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.
