    Environmental Assessment chapter 3. description of the potentially affected environment 3. Description of the Potentially Affected Environment This chapter is divided into four different sections which describe different components of the baseline or existing environmental conditions. The first section describes the river characteristics which will influence the development of alternatives. This information has been separated from the remaining description of the natural environment such that some emphasis can be given to those aspects of the existing environment that are driving the development of alternatives for the DMNP. The second section describes the remaining components of the natural environment: fish and fish habitat, terrestrial vegetation, and wildlife. The third section addresses components related to soils and groundwater contamination. The final section describes socio-economic components: land use, air quality and noise, archaeology, aboriginal interests, and built heritage. 3.1 River Characteristics in the Project and Impact Assessment Study Areas The Don Watershed possesses a dendretic drainage pattern that flows southward for 38 kilometres (as the crow flies) from the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) to the Inner Harbour of Toronto. The Don possesses two major branches (the East and West Don), each consisting of many smaller sub-watershed systems, such as but not limited to Taylor Massey Creek, Wilket Creek, Patterson Creek and Pomona Creek. The confluence of the East and West Branches occurs approximately 6 kilometres upstream of the Impact Assessment Study Area. Downstream from the confluence, the sub-watershed is known as the Lower Don and includes all of the Don Narrows until reaching the Keating Channel. The entire watershed area or drainage basin of the Don River is approximately 360 square kilometres (Figure 3−1).

  • Uwindsor Engineering OUTREACH
    UWindsor Engineering OUTREACH Building Earthquake Resistant Structures: Grades 9 to 10 YOUR MISSION In this activity, you will use marshmallows and toothpicks to design a structure that is capable of resisting the forces experienced during an earthquake. There are two shapes used in designing and strengthening buildings, squares and triangles. In building design, these are called trusses and cross bracing members. You will gain experience in designing a building and learning about the types of energy released by an earthquake. Watch this video to learn about the world’s largest shaker platform. WHAT’S GOING ON Engineers are problem solvers and they come up with solutions to problems to better the lives of everyone around them. They do this by coming up with designs, products, technologies, innovations, procedures and systems to make the world a better place. Civil Engineers are responsible for designing buildings and structures. Two of the more well-known structures in the world are the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the CN Tower in Toronto (Figure 1). Civil Engineers have to make sure they design earthquake-resistant buildings to protect people and property and ensuring the safety of all those who are using them. They can test their designs by simulating the effect natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes, have on their designs and on the strength of their materials used prior to the actual construction of the buildings. Figure 1: Eiffel Tower (Paris, France) and CN Tower (Toronto, Canada) UWINDSOR.CA/ENGINEERING/OUTREACH In addition to the vertical force of gravity, buildings must also deal with the horizontal force of the wind.
