8.         SIXTEENTH AVENUE SEWERS DEWATERING (5.5)

 

Mr. Paul Bowen of Terraprobe, made a presentation regarding the Sixteenth Avenue sewer. Mr. Bowen reviewed that Terraprobe had been retained by the Town of Markham to provide an independent review of potential impacts to water supply wells arising from dewatering activities carried out for the 9th Line and 16th Avenue sewer construction. The presentation included a review of the scope of the analysis by Terraprobe, the local geology, and the dewatering operations by McNally International.

 

Mr. Bowen offered the following conclusions and recommendations:

- impacts to local wells can be expected within a distance of approximately 2 to 3 km north of 16th Avenue;

- the severity of the impacts must be reviewed on a case-by-case basis;

- the Region should conduct further investigations to determine the reasons for the reported well impacts in areas beyond the predicted zone of influence, and continue to provide assistance to affected residents;

- the contractor has provided insufficient information and monitoring points to clearly establish extent of impact and rate of recovery;

- a proactive program should be implemented where impacts are predicted;

- a clear response program for reports of water loss should be developed in conjunction with the contractor, the Town, the Region, and the community. 

 

Committee discussed the effects of the quality of water, recovery of the aquifer, and other possible reasons for water losses. Staff advised the Region is being requested to continue the response program, and with the Committee's endorsement, staff will convey Terraprobe's recommendations to the Region for future projects.

 

Staff advised they will be providing a report with respect to policies for future dewatering projects, and a formal report by Terraprobe will be presented at a future meeting. The residents' group is also preparing a presentation to the Committee. Staff was directed to discuss Committee's concerns with Regional representatives prior to consideration of a request for Noise By-law exemption scheduled for later in the meeting.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the presentation by Mr. Paul Bowen of Terraprobe, with respect to Sixteenth Avenue sewers dewatering be received for information, with the understanding that Terraprobe will provide a formal report, and that staff will provide a report with respect to policy recommendations for future dewatering projects, including the use of pressurized construction and other alternatives.
