Robert Adams Pond Rehabilitation and Sediment Cleanout including Removal of approximately 1,200m3 of sediment

completed

Closed

The Robert Adams storm water management Pond was tendered for rehabilitation and sediment cleanout in summer 2016 including removal of 1,200 m3 of sediment. The contract was awarded on the basis of 3 stages to be completed over 3 years. Stage 1 construction was completed in 2016 and funded by the annual budget. The remaining Stage 2 and Stage 3 works are scheduled for 2017/2018 construction with an estimated cost remaining to be split over 2 years. We note that Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) has expressed their preference to complete the remaining works in 2017 rather than over 2017/2018 to minimize the number of disruptions to the local environment. The project was identified in the SWMFMG report as an immediate priority; the estimated year of sediment removal was 2012. As such, cleanout of the Robert Adams Pond is Clarington’s top priority, we have nominated this project on the basis that the funding will accelerate the project for completion in 2017. The storm water management (SWM) pond is located in Courtice, Ontario draining to Farewell Creek. The removal works are capitalized as they extend the life of the asset. The scope was increased to complete cleanout and rehabilitation of the quantity control cell of the Robert Adams Pond because the outlet grate was 90% blocked and required removal of an additional 90m3 of sediment from the pond.
