Town of The Blule Mountains Drainage Master Plan No�ce of Public Informa�on Centre 2

The Corpora�on of the Town of The Blue Mountains is undertaking a Drainage Master Plan under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Master Planning Process to iden�fy exis�ng drainage deficiencies and develop drainage solu�ons to address the deficiencies, reduce flooding, resolve public safety concerns, and improve maintenance opportuni�es within the seblement areas of the Town. A Public Informa�on Centre (PIC) was previously hosted in February 2022 to review the iden�fied drainage deficiencies and elicit input from the public regarding addi�onal observed deficiencies and public preference regarding poten�al alterna�ve solu�ons. A second Public Informa�on Center is planned to advise you of the preliminary preferred alterna�ve solu�ons developed to address drainage deficiencies iden�fied throughout the study area.

The Study area encompasses the whole Town with the primary focus being the seblement areas including Lora Bay, Thornbury and Clarksburg, Craigleith and Camperdown, and the Blue Mountains Village area. The exis�ng drainage infrastructure in the study area consists of a combina�on of open channels, ditches, watercourses, culverts, storm sewers, overland flow routes, stormwater management facili�es, and low impact development measures.

The Drainage Master Plan is being completed in accordance with Approach #2 of the Master Planning Process outlined in the Municipal Engineers Associa�on Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011, and 2015). The Town has retained the consul�ng firm Tatham Engineering Limited to complete this Drainage Master Plan.

The Town hereby no�fies all interested individuals and par�es that Public Informa�on Centre 2 will be held virtually and in-person. The PIC2 pre-recorded presenta�on will be posted to the project website (www.thebluemountains.ca/masterdrainageplanea) on March 6, 2023.
