Notice of Study Commencement - Lake Street/Waterfront Trail

Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Detailed Design - Shoreline Erosion Protection at Lake Street / Waterfront Trail

The Study

The Municipality of Port Hope has retained the services of Planmac Engineering Inc. to undertake a Schedule ‘A+’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) and Detailed Design for shoreline erosion protection approximately 25m in length. This includes a portion of the waterfront trail that runs along the top of bank between Lake Street and an eroded section of the Lake Ontario shoreline. The study area is shown on the key map below.

The Process

The section of shoreline has significantly eroded from wave action to a point that the waterfront trail is no longer safe for use. Any further erosion will result in potential impacts to Lake Street. Immediate remediation is required.

Planmac Engineering Inc. will complete the Municipal Class EA, in accordance with the Municipal Engineers Association document, “Municipal Class Environmental Assessment”, October 2000, amended 2007. Consultation with external agencies, Indigenous Communities and the public is integral to the development of the detailed design.
