STRATEGIC RELEVANCE:
Well Managed and Well Maintained Infrastructure
BACKGROUND:
In 2018, the Federal and Provincial Governments introduced the Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP), which funding program includes the Green Infrastructure - Environmental Quality Sub-Stream. The purpose of the sub-stream is to provide a frame work for funding that will support quality and management improvements to potable water, wastewater and storm water.
Each level of government is required to provide a portion of the funding. The breakdown is as follows:
* Federal - 40%
* Provincial - 33.33%
* Municipal - 26.67%
Engineering and Public Works have identified a potential project in order to gain access to this funding. This project would meet the objectives of increased capacity to treat and/or mange storm water, and would lower the impact of storm water on receiving water bodies. The scope of the project would be the design, construction and operation of potentially three storm water oil/water/grit separators (OWGS). These would either be prefabricated structures or cast in place depending on the results of detailed engineering. The potential locations for these OWGS are:
* Catchment 1 - Westbay (outfall 0781)
* Catchment 2 - Gorge C...
