  • Flood Plain Mapping Study Burnt River
    Flood Plain Mapping Study Burnt River Final Report May 2019 Executive Summary The primary goals of this study are to create hydrologic and hydraulic models of the watershed and produce flood plain mapping for Burnt River from the outlet to Cameron Lake to the hamlet of Burnt River. The mapping will allow the City of Kawartha Lakes and Kawartha Conservation staff to make informed decisions about future land use and identify flood hazard reduction opportunities. The Burnt River Flood Plain Mapping Study was subject to a comprehensive peer review for core components: data collection, data processing, hydrologic modeling, hydraulic modeling, and map generation. The process was supported throughout by a Technical Committee consisting of technical/managerial staff from Ganaraska Conservation, the City of Kawartha Lakes, and Kawartha Conservation. Topics discussed in this study include: • Previous studies in the area • Collection of LiDAR, bathymetry and orthophoto data • Proposed land use • Delineation of hydrology subcatchments • Creation of a Visual OTTHYMO hydrology model for Regional (Timmins) Storm • Calculation of subcatchment hydrology model parameters • Derivation of flow peaks at key nodes along the watercourse • Flood Frequency Analysis for the 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 year events • Creation of a HEC-RAS hydraulic model • Creation of flood plain maps Key elements of this study include: • The Timmins storm is the Regulatory Event for the watercourse • Flood plain maps are to be created based on the highest flood elevation of the calculated water surface elevations Key recommendations of this study: • The maps created from the results of the HEC-RAS model for Burnt River Creek should be endorsed by the Kawartha Conservation Board.

  • Salerno Lake Sentinel 2017 Spring / Summer Edition June 2017
    SALERNO LAKE SENTINEL 2017 SPRING / SUMMER EDITION JUNE 2017 It’s about family, friends, community, relaxation, fun! Greetings After the winter of our discontent, of divisive politics, of deep ice encrusted snow and bitter cold, followed by a spring of endless rains and almost biblical plagues of mosquitoes and black-flies, we are now brightening our outlook. Summer is coming! The cottage roads are open again. Life is good. Welcome back to Salerno Lake (if you ever left….) Take a look at our SDLCA Events Calendar for this summer and mark the dates. There’s much to look forward to and it is our hope that you will participate. We have a terrific community here on Salerno Lake and you are an important part of it. The annual Canada Day Fireworks will be held this year on - gasp - Saturday July 1st, the actual Canada Day. That hap- pens only once every seven years… On July the 8th we have our very first Dock Sale AND our 7th Concert On The Lake at 6:30 PM featuring Kiyomi Valentine (McCloskey) a talented young woman who has a deep family connection to Salerno Lake. (Her sister Chloe was married here just last summer!) It’s also the summer of our 50th Annual Canoe Race, an incredible milestone in a long, storied tradition. And we will be holding the 2nd edition of the Youth Race for those 6-12 years of age. These events will be held on Sunday August 6th. The route of the Canoe Race is still to be determined due to the large log jam on the Irondale River.

Box 325 52 Hunter Street East, Peterborough Ontario, K9H 1G5 Telephone: (866) 217.7900 Facsimile: (705) 742.7907 cambium-inc.com 2018 Annual Report, Glamorgan Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Municipality of Highlands East Cambium Ref. No.: 7210-003 March 26, 2019 Executive Summary The Glamorgan waste disposal site operates as a waste transfer station under the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Park Provisional Certificate of Approval No. A330401, most recently amended April 5, 2011. The Glamorgan landfilling operation was officially closed in July 2002, with final capping of the mound having occurred in 2006, and now operates as a transfer station. The Glamorgan waste disposal site is on Lot 30, Concession V, in the geographic township of Glamorgan, in the Municipality of Highlands East, County of Haliburton, approximately 3.0 km east of the Hamlet of Gooderham, south of Highway 503, at 1070 McColls Road. Groundwater elevations recorded in 2018 indicated that the overburden groundwater flow was to the south-southwest in the shallow overburden layer and to the south in the deep overburden, towards the Irondale River. Based on the water quality results from 2018 there was a dilute leachate plume emanating from the waste mound towards the south. Due to site closure and natural attenuation, the leachate plume was weak and did not extend laterally much beyond the actual waste pile.
