INTRODUCTION GM BluePlan Engineering Limited (GMBP) was retained by the County of Grey to undertake a planning process toward addressing the deteriorated condition of Bridge No.900-272 adjacent to Highway 6 in Orchardville, where shown on Figure 1. The Municipal Engineers Association (MEA), in cooperation with the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP), has developed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process to assist in planning projects of this nature. The EA planning process develops a Project Statement, considers alternative solutions, and documents the public consultation process toward the selection, by Council, of a Preferred Solution to the Project Statement in a Project File. Since the alternative solutions consider alteration of a structure that is over 40 years old, which has been determined to have cultural heritage value, and which would be less than $2.4 million, a Schedule ‘B’ EA process is considered appropriate for this undertaking. This report is prepared as the Schedule ‘B’ EA Project File for Bridge No.900- 272. The Project Statement is considered as follows: “Inspection Reports for the aging Orchardville Bridge No.900-272 note advanced deterioration of the super structure and sub structure to a point where the bridge can no longer fulfill its intended function as a crossing and, therefore, consideration should be given to addressing a long-term solution.” The Project File is considered a “living document”. This initial version of the Project File is issued to present the Project Statement; identify the range of Alternative Solutions considered to address the problem or opportunity; evaluate the anticipated ‘environmental’ effects and proposed mitigation; and to provide a preliminary assessment and evaluation of alternative solutions and the rationale for the selection of a Preliminary Recommended Solution. This version of the Project File is issued to the Public, Agencies, and First Nations for consultation purposes. The Notice of Project Initiation was first advertised on September 12, 2019. The Notice includes an invitation to the public, agencies and First Nations to review and provide comments on the Project File. Comments received through the consultation process will be incorporated into a subsequent revision to this Project File and included in an updated Evaluation of Alternatives, ultimately with a Recommended Preferred Solution presented for consideration and acceptance (or otherwise) by Council.

MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PLANNING PROCESS Municipal infrastructure projects are subject to the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EA Act). The Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) is an approved self-assessment process under the EA Act for a specific group or “class” of projects. Projects are considered approved subject to compliance with an approved Class EA process. The Municipal Class EA (Municipal Engineers Association October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015) applies to municipal infrastructure projects including roads, water and wastewater. The Municipal Class EA outlines a comprehensive planning process (illustrated in Figure 2) that provides a rational approach to consider the environmental and technical

    CONSERVATION 2007-2011 Beatty Saugeen River Watershed R E P O R T C A R D A report on the general condition of the Beatty Saugeen River Watershed 2013 Watershed Perspective The Beatty Saugeen River is a tributary of the Main Saugeen River draining approximately 274 ES square kilometres. The river system is 46 kilometres in length with an average gradient of 4.5 E GRAD ERAG metres per kilometre. The main source of the Beatty Saugeen River is found in the eastern rural AV ditions est Con wooded wetlands of the Township of Southgate (former Egremont Township). The system drains For ns B onditio into the South Saugeen River immediately west of Hanover, Township of Southgate. land C Wet ality A ter Qu ce Wa The headwaters area is located almost entirely in the Dundalk Till Plain. In spite of the elevation of Surfa lity r Qua this area, drainage is slow, resulting in swamps, bogs and poorly drained depressions. The B dwate AGroun remainder of the watershed is located within both the Horseshoe Moraine and the Teeswater Ni Drumlin Field. Forest Conditions With an average grade of 'B' for forest conditions, the Beatty Saugeen River Watershed meets the Environment Canada guidelines of 30% forest cover. Both forest cover and riparian cover scored a 'B' grade. The recommendation is that 50% of the 30 metre wide riparian zone should have forest cover. The Beatty Saugeen River Watershed has 47.7% of the riparian zone forested. The grade for forest interior was a 'C' which remains the same as the last report card.
