Item Description Action By
1.0 Phase 1 Report – The Phase 1 Report was submitted to the Region on January 26, 2012. The purpose of the Phase 1 report is to identify the problem / opportunity statement. The Region has initiated their review and will provide TMIG with additional comments. TMIG will provide additional detail regarding the rationale for the EA study area limits.
Peel
TMIG
2.0 Review Alternative Alignments – The City of Brampton road classifications include Major Arterial, Minor Arterial, Collectors, and Local roads. TMIG identified alternatives along the east-west Major and Minor Arterials. There is limited east-west connectivity of the Collector roads, so only portions of the long list of alternatives have been identified along Collector Roads. At this time, no Local roads have been identified as a potential alternative. The Region was in agreement with the alternative alignments. If required Vodden may also be considered as a sub-alternative.
TMIG
2.1 Connections - Given the number of watermains that the Zone 5 Sub-transmission main will cross, it was suggested that connections only be made to watermains 300 mm and larger. Some of these connections may be normally closed, but will provide operation flexibility in the future. For connections to watermains 400 mm and larger, a chamber will be required. Once a preferred alternative is identified, (end of Phase 2) TMIG will review the potential connections location by location with the project team. The connections to the existing distribution systems should consider Water Age/Water Quality, Phased connections.
2.2 Existing Water System – Other than the existing 900 mm diameter watermain along Steeles Avenue, there is limited connectivity between the east and west. The Region
G:\Projects\2011\11139 - Zone 5 Sub-Transmission Main EA\Reports\ESR\Appendices\A - Public Consultation\A2 2012-02-03 RoP.doc

noted that there are currently high velocities within the existing watermain along Queen Street, east of Mississauga Road.
2.3 Connection to West Brampton Reservoir – There is no Zone 5 watermain stub available in the yard/site. There are Zone 5 stubs available in the station. The Region will arrange for a site visit with Matt Bennette or Anthony Parente and the Project Team. If the meeting is scheduled early in the day, it will provide an opportunity to drive the alternative alignments.
3.0 Typical Cross Sections – TMIG prepared typical cross sections for each of the routes that illustrate the location of the watermain trench and the required work zone. These sections continue to be developed during Phase 2.
TMIG
4.0 Project Management Plans – The Region does not have any additional comments on the plan. TMIG will update the schedule to reflect the revised strategy of holding the first PIC at the end of Phase 2, rather than at the beginning stages of Phase 2. The PIC dates will be scheduled so that they don’t fall within July/August. Potential times for the PICs may be May and September.
TMIG
5.0 Notice of Commencement, PICs – Since the Public Consultation Program meeting of January 24, 2012, the Region rethought the public consultation strategy and decided to issue a separate “Notice of Commencement”, but issue both notices in the same Brampton newspaper on the same day, preferentially on the same page. For consultation purposes, this project will be referred to as “West Brampton Watermain EA.” The Region provided TMIG with an updated draft of the Notice of Commencement on February 12, 2012. TMIG will provide their comments by February 7, 2012.
TMIG / Peel
6.0 Moving Forward – TMIG will send out the long list of alternatives to the subs
Watermain size –The watermain size will be confirmed during Phase 2.
Evaluation Criteria – TMIG will prepare evaluation criteria that represents the broad definition of the environment described in the EA Act (Natural Environment, Social, Cultural, Technical, Financial), and that is specific to the study area. The Technical Criteria will consider the operational and maintenance requirements. The Region will provide samples of criteria as a reference.
TMIG
Meetings – The Region’s RFP included 6 meetings with the “Agency” or Region. This is meeting number 4. There is a provisional item for additional meetings should the Region require additional meeting.

By
1.0 Project Overview – The Region of Peel’s Master plan identified the need for an East-
West transfer between the east and west parallel water systems. The Region undertook a
feasibility study which identified that the east-west transfer should connect the existing
West Brampton Reservoir and to the north-south main (currently undergoing a Schedule C
EA) between Beckett Sproule Pumping Station and East Brampton Pumping Station. The
Region of Peel has retained The Municipal Infrastructure Group Ltd. to undertake the
Schedule ‘C’ Class EA to evaluate the alternatives for the east-west watermain which is
currently in Phase 2.
Info
2.0 Study Area – The study area is bounded between Mississauga Road, Bovaird Drive,
Dixie Road and Steeles Avenue.
Info
3.0 Review Alternative Alignments - The east west Zone 5 sub-transmission main will
connect within the property limit of the West Brampton Reservoir to the west and to the
future north-south watermain to the east. Four main alternatives and three sub-alternatives
have been identified within the study area:
Alternative 1 – Bovaird Drive
Alterantive 1B – Bovaird Drive, Kennedy Road, Williams Parkway
Alternative 2 – Williams Parkway
Alternative 3 – Queen Street

Alternative 4B- Queen Street, Chinguacousy, Steeles Avenue, Rutherford, Glidden
4.0 Traffic:
The BA Group is a member of the project team and is currently undertaking a qualitative
analysis of the long list of alternatives based on data received from the Region and the
City. Once a preferred route is identified, they will undertake a more detailed analysis and
prepare preliminary staging plans at critical locations.
City of Brampton advised that the staging plan should consider planned construction on
parallel routes, and the future traffic forecasts. The City would like to review the
preliminary staging plans.
The preliminary staging plans will be included as part of the EA, and The City of
Brampton will have an opportunity to review the plans prior to issuing the final ESR.
The staging plans will be finalized during the detailed design.
TMIG
5.0 Intersection Crossings:
Currently, Hurontario will be crossed using trenchless technologies for each alternative.
Other trenchless intersection crossings will be identified based on the existing traffic data
provided by the Region. City of Brampton has asked that the impact to the side streets
also be considered in the construction methodology, which will also be incorporated as
part of the preliminary staging plans previously discussed.
TMIG
6.0 Preliminary Staging Areas:
The staging areas will consider the adjacent land uses and accesses to the staging area.
The City advised that not all vacant lands will be made available for staging areas unless
there is a site plan condition on those lands.
The City’s preference would be to use existing entrances for the access, which will also be
incorporated as part of the preliminary staging plans previously discussed.
Info
7.0 Bridge, Culvert, and Pedestrian Access Crossings – The project team will discuss the
proposed methodology during Phase 3 of the EA. The two options that are being
considered are going around the existing structure, and crossing under the existing
structure.
The City of Brampton will not allow the watermain to be strapped to the existing bridge
decks.

3.1 Pipe Material The pipe will be either a 750mm diameter or 900 mm diameter
watermain. The material is anticipated to be concrete pressure pipe (CPP).
Info
3.2 Pipe Depth The depth of the pipe will be based on existing constraints and whether it
is installed using open cut or trenchless technologies.
In general, the depth will be approximately 2.5 m deep if installed using open-cut
methods, and 2.5 tunnel diameters deep if installed using trenchless technologies.
At watercourse crossings, the project team will consider the scour.
Info
3.0 Existing Natural Environmental Features
3.1 The main existing features within TRCA jurisdiction include Etobicoke Creek, the
Heartlake Wetland Complex, the regulated watercourse west of Dixie Road, and the
natural feature on Queen Street. All the alternatives cross Etobicoke Creek.
Info
3.2 TRCA will provide the project team (Arbinder cc Italia) with background information
which will include TRCA property information and regulated areas within the study
area. At the end of the meeting Ben mentioned that there are no properties owned by
TRCA along any of the route so the property information won’t be required.
TRCA
4.0 Review of potential impacts within TRCA jurisdiction
4.1 Crossing Methodology – It was agreed that the methodology would be dependent on
the exiting subsurface conditions, and overall impacts. Piped crossings will be
considered as watercourse crossings. It would be preferred to have trenchless crossing
however TRCA is open to open cut methodology depending on mitigating measure
Info
4.2 Potential impacts – evaluation should consider impacts to both the aquatic and
terrestrial environments, impact to the valley wall, and overall conveyance.

In general, the depth will be approximately 2.5 m deep if installed using open-cut
methods, and 2.5 tunnel diameters deep if installed using trenchless technologies.
Watermain Location – The majority of the watermain will be located within the existing
limits of the right-of-way. Potential property requirements will be around the staging
areas.
4.0 Review of crossings within CVC Jurisdiction
All the watercourse crossings are red-side dace habitat, therefore MNR will be involved. Info
CVC would like to minimize the number of watercourse crossings. Info
CVC’s preference is for the routes further north within the study area where the creeks are
smaller and the valleys are less defined. CVC’s least preferred is Steeles Avenue.
CVC requires that the watercourses be crossed using trenchless technologies. Open cut
will only be considered if trenchless is not an option. The project team will consider both
micro-tunnelling and conventional tunnelling.
Installing a watermain on an existing bridge – The City of Brampton does not want the
watermain to be suspended from the bridge. The option will need to be reviewed with the
Region for the Region’s roads. The condition of the existing bridge would need to be
assessed to determine if it has the capacity to support the proposed watermain and any
potential transient pressures.
5.0 CVC Submissions:
Evaluation Matrix and environmental reports in advance of the PIC. CVC advised that
their typical review time over the summer is 4-5 weeks.
PIC Invitation
Draft ESR – 1 hard copy and 1 digital copy

4.0 Review of Highway 410 Crossings
4.1 MTO indicated that they had construction challenges at Queen Street and Williams
Parkway. At Queen Street, a high water level was encountered. At Williams Parkway, the
existing soils needed to be sub-excavated and replaced with granular. Based on the
hydrogeological report, the Brampton Esker is located at the north east part of the Study
down to Queen Street.
Info
4.2 Trenchless Technology – Highway 410 will be crossed using trenchless technologies.
The recommended technology will be based on the geotechnical and hydrogeological
studies.
The project team will consider conventional tunnel as well as micro-tunnelling.
MTO requires a continuously welded steel liner. Concrete reinforced pipe will not be an
accepted alternative.
The strength of the tunnel liner should be equal to or greater than the carrier pipe.
The shafts would be approximately 8 m diameter or 7x10m. MTO would prefer that the
shafts be located outside the MTO ROW, however alternative locations will be reviewed.
The tunnel horizontal alignment will be a minimum 10m from the bridge footings.
The EA recommendations will include settlement monitoring during construction and for
12 months after construction.
TMIG
4.3 Based on discussion with the City of Brampton, it is preferred that the accesses to the
staging area use an existing access where possible.
Info
4.4 If at an interchange, the access will not be from the ramps. The watermain location, shaft
location, and chamber location should consider future flexibility/construction at the
interchange. MTO’s preference would be to cross Hwy 410 where there is not an
interchange.
TMIG
4.5 Bovaird Drive Crossing
TMIG provided a draft sketch of the crossing at Bovaird Drive. There is existing
residential development on the south side and commercial development on the north side.
There is an existing driveway access to a communication tower on the south side between
the onramp and the highway. Given the existing space constraints on the west side, all
parties agreed that the existing tower access could be used as a staging area. MTO
indicated that there would be working hour restrictions. No permanent structures would be
proposed, and the spoils would need to be trucked off-site
The project team will also consider recommendations for minimizing mud-tracking.

4.6 Williams Parkway Crossing
TMIG provide a draft sketch of the crossing at Williams Parkway. There are two parks on
either side of Highway 410. It is currently anticipated that access to the west staging area
would use the existing park entrance and parking lot, and access to the west staging area
would be either the entrance to the GO commuter lot or the access to the existing park.
TMIG
4.7 Queen Street
TMIG provide a draft sketch of the crossing at Queen Street. The Queen Street
interchange is busy (traffic). There is also limited room for a staging area or access to the
staging area. Also soil conditions could be an issue in this area
TMIG
4.8 Steeles Avenue
TMIG provide a draft sketch of the crossing at Steeles Avenue. Similar to Queen, Steeles
Avenue interchange is busy (traffic). There is also limited room for a staging area or
access to the staging area. MTO is planning a Stormwater Management facility at the SE
corner between the ramp and the Highway and watermain may place some constraints in
the headwater, maintenance of the pond and may require liner to be designed for it.
TMIG
5.0 Review of MTO Projects within the Study Area and Status
5.1 MTO completed an environmental assessment and is currently at the 60% Design stage
for the widening of Highway 410 from Highway 401 to just south of Queen Street. Within
the study area, the widening will be from 6 lanes to 10 lanes and occur within the middle
of the road. The grass median will be replaced with a piped system. Any watermain
crossing should be sufficiently deep to avoid conflicts with the proposed storm sewers.
Construction timing is not yet known and funding has not been approved for this phase.
TMIG
5.2 MTO had provided 2 CDs to Syeda Banuri for the other Region of Peel EA. The CD
included information on the approved EA and the updated drawings.

n
5.3 MTO is reviewing existing conditions from Queen Street to Bovaird to determine whether
an EA is required.
Info
5.4 MTO is also planning minor rehabilitation projects with the study area. Another project
currently underway is the GTA West corridor EA.
Info
6.0 Project Schedule
The first PIC will be planned for the end of June or early July. The EA is planned to be
completed by the end of the year.
Construction will be phased, and potentially coordinated with other works in the study
area. (2016 – 2017)

7.0 Moving Forward
Next meeting will be when an alternative is selected and the methodologies are being
