STAGE 3 ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT BURNETT LANDS Executive Summary The Executive Summary highlights key points only; for complete information and findings, as well as the limitations, the reader should examine the complete report. Golder Associates Limited (Golder) was retained by Claridge Homes (South Nepean) Inc. (“Claridge”) to complete a Stage 3 archaeological assessment for the Jock River 1 site (BhFw-121) situated within the proposed development property located at 3370 Greenbank Road, adjacent to the Jock River, known as the Burnett Lands. The subject property is located within part of Lot 13, Concession 3 (Rideau Front), Nepean Township, Carleton County, City of Ottawa. Three prior archaeological investigations have been completed within 100 metres of the Stage 3 study area detailed in this report. These included the Stage 1 (Golder, 2015a) and Stage 2 (Golder, 2015b) assessments for the South Nepean Collector (SNC) project which was completed in 2015. These assessments did not identify any Indigenous cultural materials which could be related to the Jock River 1 site documented in this report. The third prior archaeological investigation been completed within 100 metres of the Stage 3 study area was the Stage 1 and 2 assessment for the entire Burnett Lands development property (Golder, 2017).

  • Meet the Water Rangers Guardians! This Year, with the Help of Great Lakes Guardian Program, We Transformed How Ontarians Interacted with Local Waterbodies
    Meet the Water Rangers Guardians! This year, with the help of Great Lakes Guardian program, we transformed how Ontarians interacted with local waterbodies. Funding provided by An innovative environmental non-profit From the tiniest creek to the biggest lake, Canada is known for its water. Yet average citizens do not realize how their livelihood is connected with their watershed. Even when they learn about beaches closing or fish dying, they do not feel there is anything they can or should do. Water Rangers empowers citizens to learn and take action on water conservation through our user-friendly web platform, water stewardship training, and water quality testkits. Founded in 2015 through Aquahacking, we’re a non- profit organization based in Ottawa aiming to make water science easy to understand. We deepen our impact by providing tools and training to understand, test and protect waterways. About this Funding provided by project Water Rangers Guardians conduct water quality tests, clean up garbage and naturalize shorelines in order to become guardians for their local lake, river or stream! The program engaged community groups over the year, and trained students during excursions. This project w funded by Ontario through the Great Lakes Guardian Fund.

  • 2.0 Water Quality - Introduction
    2.0 Water Quality - Introduction Water quality is central to the health of the Rideau River. Water quality is important (and intimately linked) to both human and natural communities along the River. Many human activities can have adverse affects on water quality. Deterioration in water quality can arise from contamination by toxic substances and/or bacteria, increases in suspended matter, and enrichment by nutrients. This pollution originates from easily identified point sources, such as sewage treatment plants, as well as non-point (or diffuse) sources such as surface run-off, and is hastened by human activities such as shoreline development, which result in the loss of riverbank vegetation and accelerated erosion. The definition of water quality differs, depending on how the water is to be used. Different water quality criteria are set depending on whether the water is intended for drinking, recreation, industrial or agricultural use or is considered as habitat for aquatic life. Water quality criteria have been established for a wide range of parameters, at the national and provincial levels. These parameters include physical or chemical characteristics (such as temperature and pH), major ions (ex. calcium and sodium), nutrients (ex. nitrogen and phosphorus), organic compounds (such as pesticides), inorganics (metals) and microorganisms (ex. fecal coliform bacteria). Water quality has been evaluated in the Rideau River by several different organizations. These include the Ministry of the Environment (MOE), the City of Ottawa (formerly RMOC), the Canadian Museum of Nature (CMN), the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) and a number of different health units. In addition, several research projects conducted by researchers at the University of Ottawa have focused on water quality in the Rideau River over the last decade.
