Why not use the fifth line and the concession heading north off of Hilliard St. The road base is there already and you will not disturb any of natural habitat or the land owners for that matter. look at the map you have drawn up...how does the future road system look after the bypass is implemented, as you have drawn it? There is a future plan i hope? Peterborough's streets are a mess because of poor planning in the past. Please don't do that to Bridgenorth, we are just getting started!

From: Bradley, Chris <[email protected]>Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2017 1:15 PMTo: 'Verne wall'Cc: Steve Taylor; 'Darcie Dillon'Subject: RE: Bypass
Good afternoon Mr. Wall, Thank you for submitting your comments. They will be recorded and made part of the record. Sincerely, Chris Bradley, Director of Public Works, County of Peterborough, 310 Armour Road, Peterborough, Ontario, K9H 1Y6 705-775-2737, ext. 3102 [email protected] ** County phone extensions, emails & web address have CHANGED. Please UPDATE contact info.** From: Verne wall [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2017 1:11 PM To: Bradley, Chris <[email protected]> Subject: Bypass We have lived on the Ennismore side of the causeway for 19 years. Each year the traffic coming into Bridgenorth gets heavier. Each time we return from Peterborough, depending on the time of day, we find ourselves waiting as far back as Tim Hortons waiting for the light to change, and sit through several changes while there is NO traffic going through the lights from the side street. This can't be good for the environment. I think the bypass is a good idea. Although I can understand the concerns of the Ward St. business owners, I agree with the engineer that Ward St. not only could be a destination, but already is. I get my car serviced at Bell's, and that would not change with a bypass. We shop at Valu Mart, Guardian, Beer Store, LCBO, Pizzaville, etc. None of that would change with a bypass because these are destination purchases, not impulse buys because we happen to be going by them. Not everyone will be happy with any decision you make, but I think the bypass will be a huge improvement to the area. However, since I am 73 years old, I doubt I will live to see it. Verne Wall Gifford Drive, Ennismore

Thank you Steve This will form part of our record of consultation and you will be added to our mailing list. Steve
Steve Taylor P.Eng., M.Eng., CVS-LIFE, P.E. President 100 Craig Henry Drive, Suite 201 Ottawa, Ont. K2G 5W3 E-Mail: [email protected] Phone: 613-228-4813 FAX: 1-613-280-1305 Toll Free: 1-855-228-4813 www.bteng.ca From: Steve Kirton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: September 21, 2017 10:04 AM To: [email protected]; Steve Taylor Subject: Comments on Bridgenorth Info night... Hi guys, First let me convey my compliments on last night's effort. I found it very professional, helpful and informative � Having lived in Bridgenorth for almost 20 years this is an issue I feel very strongly about. As I mentioned in my hand-scribbled comments last night, you can call Ward St. what you want, but don't call it "nice"...there is indeed nothing at all "nice" about the center of Bridgenorth as long as it remains dominated by the freeway that runs through it. No one in their right mind would ever consider a "stroll down Ward St.", or a trip into Bridgenorth for "a little discretionary shopping", "lunch at a roadside café" etc etc. For things like that, people go to Lakefield or to one of the other "nice" villages in the region. In reading through the info posters and in conversations with you folks last night, I am hearing the following:
� That Ward St. at the present time is operating close to it's traffic volume capacity. � That all options for the widening of Ward St. constitute temporary "alternative" proposals in the face
of opposition to the only proposal that can ultimately resolve the traffic problems; that being the Bridgenorth bypass.
19
2
� That the traffic volume forecasts suggest that anything less than a 4-lane highway will not adequately resolve the longer-term traffic problems.
� That the narrow right-of-way along Ward St. limits the extent to which the road can be widened. � That analogies with other jurisdictions suggest the bypass will not materially affect business traffic
along Ward St. � That the bypass design (including round-a-bouts at each end) will facilitate easy and quick access to the
center of Bridgenorth from both the north and south. � That the bypass may actually be the cheaper option.
Furthermore, it goes without saying that any proposal to widen Ward St. will not enhance Bridgenorth's attractiveness as a destination for discretionary shoppers, tourists etc. Rather any widening will have the opposite effect. Business owners who oppose the bypass are acting out of self-interest and fear of change, with little regard for the residents, and unaware of the negative impact the status-quo is having on their businesses. In my case, I am forced to make a left-hand turn onto Ward St each time I drive into Bridgenorth, which often results in me turning right instead, where all of the same amenities can be found 4 km down Chemong Rd. My own preference would be to "narrow", not widen Ward St., this in conjunction with the bypass. This would provide the additional boulevard space for all manner of transformational opportunities to turn Bridgenorth into something, well, nice... So to conclude, the bypass constitutes the only long-term solution for Bridgenorth, and the many years of stalling on it are due to a minority of very loud business owners who lack the foresight and the stomach to embrace it. It's therefore time that they, the municipality, and other stakeholders embrace it now. Please keep me in the loop on this and I would be happy to articulate these thoughts at a public debate forum or other similar venue or social media platform. I know there have been many of these, but it's time for another one...the sooner the better. Regards, Steve Kirton

I received two (2) questions in relation to the EA Addendum for the Bridgenorth By-Pass that I need your assistance with:
1. What is the technical rationale for the alternative link from Gore Street? This is to provide a second route for trips (peds, cyclists and vehicles from the community to the north. Community to the north may be 30 % of the total population of Bridgenorth and without it all trips must go through a single intersection.
2. As part of this EA addendum, can you quantify changes that can be made to the original EA study? What is an acceptable change per the EA addendum process. Changes can include significant changes as long as it includes public consultation. It can include alignment changes and intersection changes. These in our study are all quite minor.
Also, please note that comments from Chemong Public school will be coming by the end of this week (Oct. 6th) and may miss the Oct. 4th deadline. We will hold the report and allow the extension. No deadline we can’t live with by extending. Steve Let me know if you need any clarification. Thanks in advance Steve, Doug

This should be taken into serious consideration. The proposed arterial road off Gore Street cuts through our Places to Grow, one of the only areas in the Bridgenorth area where we can expand with residential, commercial. The proposed arterial road off Gore Street traverses right past our Chemong Public School which will increase traffic exponentially and create safety hazards for school children. There already is traffic on the road due to school busses, additional vehicular traffic is ill advised. This is in the middle of a community hub. Not a good place to access the proposed bypass. The proposed roundabout on Chemong Road should be at the T lights at Chemong and Lindsay Road, not where it is shown on the map. Accidents happen at this intersection, and a roundabout at Lindsay Rd and Chemong would increase safety. Thank you. Sherry Senis, Deputy Mayor

I have copied this e-mail to our consulting engineering leads for the respective projects so that they can be added to the formal project record. Regarding your other two points, I agree. I live north of Ennismore so I see both issues. Regarding the issue at CR 14 and CR 16, I was surprised to see where the Yield sign was posted when I moved here a number of years ago as it contrary to what we typically see, but it works. A larger Yield sign may work and I will ask my Engineering staff to look into it. We are currently conducting a review of the intersection of CR 18 and CR 1 and I will ensure your comments are forwarded to the Engineering staff.

[email protected] ** County phone extensions, emails & web address have CHANGED. Please UPDATE contact info.** From: Dale Mokrey [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2017 1:32 PM To: Bradley, Chris <[email protected]> Subject: issues Hi Chris.....my 2 cents worth. I have lived on Tara Rd., Ennismore for 40 years and have seen major changes in traffic flow through Bridgenorth. The installation of traffic lights at O.P.P. station has provided some opportunity for vehicles to leave shopping areas on Ward but it is stressful for that exit in order to beat the onslaught of the green light. Drivers should have limited stress when driving. This same traffic light causes a major back up to Tim Hortons' and not just for holiday traffic, as often sited. I have seen others as well as myself, search out other routes through the village in order to avoid the back up. This is adding traffic and safety concerns to non corridor routes, and again at 'beat the corridor cars' speed.Things will only get worse.As a result of this stress, I intentionally do not shop in Bridgenorth but do so in Peterborough when I make a multi purpose trip. I do understand the concerns of the merchants of Ward street, that they need to rely on passerby traffic in order to remain viable but human nature will dictate where they shop. Byron Bell surely must realize that his business still exists not because of passing traffic but because many people do not want to get out of their car to pump their own gas. His service is what maintains his business even at a price higher than the station down the road. All his customers and those of all those local merchants know what the prices are and will shop accordingly. On my return home trip, I wish to return as quickly and that means as directly as possible. This requires the bypass. If I need to make a driveby purchase on rare occasions, I can easily exit before the causeway to do so and also support my local merchants which I would then be more than willing to do. I see a third lane for turning as a stop gap method which will help but not solve future problems. Four lanes would help even more but is there room for this expansion. I must also add that I resent that local merchants can dictate my convenience and driving trips. In my case it has backfired in a loss of my business. Maybe there are others who feel the same way ! Other issues: I am not sure if this is your jurisdiction and if not, could you pass this along. I am unsure if tourists are to be blamed but many times I have crossed the causeway from Bridgenorth, and turned north onto Cty 16 which has the right of way. The problem is from vehicles driving east on Cty 14 and turning north onto Cty 16. There is a yield sign but they do not see it and I and I would imagine many others have had similar close call accidents. Could a possible solution be a much larger yield sign or better yet, flashing yield sign ? The intersection of Cty 18 and Cty 1 , heading north. The merge just north of the intersection has become a' game of chicken'. Vehicles will time their speed to arrive at the merge so that they can bypass all the vehicles just taking off at a light change.I have seen many near accidents with vehicles riding on the gravel and trying to force themselves onto the main lane of traffic and not being allowed entrance because they chose what they think is a faster route. Again there is a small merge sign prior to the intersection and I believe that all the drivers know how difficult the merge can be but will persist. Could a possible solution be to have a large flashing sign, strategically placed well before existing merge sign, to merge into main lane before the intersection. Yours truly, Mike Mokrey

Thank you for your comments and interest. The planning for this corridor was a previous Environmental Assessment completed by the County and it was completed following the approved planning process by the Province of Ontario. The Recommended Plan has maintained its status by continuing to complete cyclic updates to the original EA and through reviews by the County’s Transportation Master Plan. The project is protecting for a future road if and when the County choses to implement the project as travel demand grows. The process minimizes property impacts by defining the project so far in advance that land is acquired only when the project proceeds to a construction phase or when willing sellers approach the County. It is a proactive means of planning long term projects. Your suggestion would be an alternate project. It will be recorded as part of the Record of Consultation and will be reviewed by the Technical Advisory Committee. Thank you for taking the time to send this comment. You will be added to our study mailing list and be advised of the upcoming PIC later in the spring. Steve Project Manager

From: Sent: February 10, 2017 3:39 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: county road 18 I just don't understand the planning process. I am just now getting interested in this bypass thing with the literature I have recently received. I apologize for my ignorance of the topic, but I am going to ask anyways.

why come off chemong rd so far north? why not come off at the Lindsey hwy turn we have enough intersections, lights, and stop signs in ptbo. why go through untouched properties and or farms? there is already a consession that runs from hilliard north. you already have a road base started and you won't be taking any land from anyone. it could go north right to concession 8. I think you could move the walking path easier than building a new road base. the walking path is not a real hot spot anyways. I know that a lot of the traffic is going north to Selwyn area and I truly believe that people would go that way. it would also keep some of the traffic off of chemong rd. you could even take a road from there across to the light,...maybe? use an already existing concession stop taking peoples land and farms!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Mr. Taylor Thank you for providing the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS) with the ������������ �������� ����� dated January 18, 2017 prepared by BT Engineering for our review and comment. MTCS’s interest in this EA project relates to its mandate of conserving Ontario’s cultural heritage, which includes archaeological resources, built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes.
������������ �������� �������������������� �
Section 3.0 states that this study will complete the 10 year review of the project, and the final documentation will be an EA Addendum. “The project will also provide an update of the . . .archaeological and cultural heritage . . . inventories previously completed.”
MTCS has no record of the previous EA studies. As previously requested, would you please send us the previously approved ESRs so we can identify how the cultural environment was addressed.
����� ������) ���� �section of the Draft Study Design (p 13) states, “No archaeological assessment will be conducted for this assignment. The County commits to completing a Stage 2 archaeological assessment during the further detail design (EA-Phase 5)”.
This does not sufficiently address the requirements of an EA, nor does it adequately consider MTCSadvice of October 13, 2016. As we stated, under the EA process, the proponent is required to determinea project’s potential impact on cultural heritage resources. As such it is necessary to identify whether cultural heritage resources, in this case, archaeological resources, are present in the study area, and then to identify potential impacts to those resources. A Stage 2 AA determines the presence of any archaeological resources on a site. As such a minimum of a Stage 2 AA should be completed early in the planning process so that alignment modification can be made as necessary. For more information and adescription of the stages of archaeological assessments please refer to the Ministry’s website.
For your information, MTCS records indicate that in 1992 a Stage 1 archaeological assessment (AA) was undertaken for, what appears to be, a similar study area being considered under the current EA Addendum. The 1992 Stage 1 AA identified areas of high archaeological potential along the proposed by-pass corridor, and recommended further archaeological assessment be undertaken.
Page ( of (
Please also be aware that on January 2, 2011 MTCS released Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists, compliance with which is mandatory for all consultant archaeologists who carry out archaeology in Ontario. As such the 1992 Stage 1 AA may have to be updated to comply with the 2011 S&Gs. An appropriate approach can be addressed by your licensed archaeologist when they submit therequest for a PIF to conduct a Stage 2AA.
��������7 ����� 8 %.9 states, “No cultural heritage investigations were completed in the original EA or Addenda and no cultural heritage issues were identified in any previous studies”. If the cultural heritageinvestigations were not previously completed, they should be completed as part of the current EA Addendum.
We refer you to our letter of October 13, 2016 in which we provided MTCS ����������� ��������!��������������2�������������������������2�������3��������� to be completed to help determine whether your EA project may impact cultural heritage resources. The Clerk or planning staff for the municipality can provide information on property registered or designated under the &������2����������. You could also contact Ms. Sheryl Smith Chairperson for the Township of Selwyn Heritage Committee.
If potential or known heritage resources exist, a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), should be prepared by a qualified consultant, to identify the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and assess potential project impacts. Our Ministry’s ����#(���45'2���������������������������������������!��� outlines the scope of HIAs. Please send the HIA to MTCS and municipal planning staff for review and comment , and make it available to local organizations, such as the Municipal Heritage Committee or individuals who have expressed interest in heritage.
Please be aware that at least two cultural heritage resources that meet the screening criteria are present within the study area. As such, cultural heritage investigations are warranted for this EA Addendum.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. We would appreciate being informed of how MTCS recommendations have been considered. Meanwhile please continue to keep us informed of this project as it proceeds through the EA process. Please contact me for any questions or clarification.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Shearer: Thank you for providing the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS) with the Cultural Heritage Assessment (CHA) for your project. We have reviewed the CHA and offer the following comments.
The cultural heritage technical report(s) carried out as part of an environmental assessment study should identify the built heritage resources (BHRs) and cultural heritage landscapes (CHLs) in the study area, by applying the full set of criteria (including sub-criteria) in Ontario Regulation 9/06 against each property, structure or other feature in the study area that, based on basic screening, has the potential to be identified as such a resource. It should document each of these resources using photographs and text to demonstrate how they qualify as BHRs or CHLs under the criteria. It should then list the potential impacts to the heritage attributes of each resource, and recommend mitigation options.
This CHA points out some attributes of the study area that have cultural heritage relevance. It does not however identify BHRs or CHLs within the study area. While it is possible that Lots 9 through 12 collectively constitute a CHL, the report does not clearly indicate this finding. Rather, it seems to use the terms “cultural heritage landscape” and “cultural landscape” to refer to the cultural heritage conditions of the study area altogether.
More specifically, it is unclear why elements of the area’s topography, geology and soil compositionconstitute cultural, as opposed to natural, heritage attributes. While it is certainly possible for natural features to be important parts of a CHL, the relevance should be made explicit.
The second paragraph of Section 9 of the CHA says that “there are no direct impacts on the existing buildings or structures of heritage value that would require removal.” This statement is confusing, since any existing buildings or structures of heritage value that would require removal would therefore be subject to direct impacts.
Thank you for consulting MTCS on this project: please continue to do so through the EA process, and contact me for any questions or clarification.
Sincerely,
Copied to: Chris Bradley, County of Peterborough

County of Peterborough
Attention: Chris Bradley, Director of Public Works [email protected]
Dear Mr. Bradley:
Re: County Road 18 Bridgenorth Causeway Link (Bridgenorth Bypass), Peterborough County
Thank you for providing the September 29, 2016 and October 6, 2016 letters notifying us of the commencement of this project. The notice states that the project is being planned in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Addendum process.
As the MOECC Regional EA Coordinator for this project, I am interested in receiving information and notices for this project. My contact information is:
, Environmental Assessment Coordinator Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change 1259 Gardiners Road P.O. Box 22032 Kingston, Ontario K7M 8S5
telephone:email:
This ministry’s interest in road projects includes impacts to surface water from stormwater discharge, impacts to groundwater and surface water quality and quantity due to construction (for example, water crossings, dewatering, erosion and sedimentation, potential spills, impacts to wells), noise and air quality impacts to nearby existing or planned sensitive land uses, potential for encountering contaminated soil or contaminated sediment, and appropriate removal and disposal of waste material.These issues should be addressed during the EA process.
The following comments are standard MOECC comments for road projects. They may not all apply to the proposed project.
- 2 -
Noise and Vibration
The Project File should include commitments to comply with municipal noise bylaws, implement general noise control measures, investigate noise complaints, and comply with MOECC sound level criteria for construction equipment.
Where there is a potential for permanent noise increases from this project, a noise study should be completed as part of the Class EA process to assess impacts on residences, proposed residential development, or other sensitive land uses. This noise assessment should be available to the public during the Class EA process and should be included in the Project File.
If blasting is required, pre-blast surveys are recommended, and the proponent should establish protocols for notifying residents and addressing blasting complaints. Noise, dust and flyrock should be controlled.
Water
Where there is a potential to impact creeks, rivers and lakes, appropriate mitigation measures should be considered prior to construction:
� machinery should not operate directly in a watercourse; � refuelling of all vehicles and equipment should be done away from watercourses; � adequate erosion and sedimentation controls must be incorporated into the
planning and construction for the project; � the time between excavation and restoration must be kept to a minimum; � disturbed shoreline should be stabilized as soon as possible; � removal of vegetation from the right-of-way should be kept to a minimum; � materials removed and stockpiled such as excavated soil and backfill material
must be contained in a manner to ensure sediment does not enter a waterway; � contingency plans should be developed to respond to spills from equipment or
release of sediment into a waterway; � spill containment materials should be available on site and workers should be
trained on spill containment and other contingency measures; and, � construction work should be monitored to ensure mitigation measures are
working and to ensure contingency plans are implemented when necessary (for example, in-stream turbidity and suspended solids).
If construction involves taking, dewatering, storage or diversion of water in excess of 50,000 litres per day, the activity may be required to be registered on the Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR) or may require a Permit To Take Water. The process to be used depends on the source of the water, the quantity of water taken, and the type of construction activity. EASR requirements for water takings for road construction and construction dewatering are prescribed in Ontario Regulation 63/16 under the Environmental Protection Act. The Permit To Take Water requirements are prescribed in Section 34, Ontario Water Resources Act.

Guidance on nearshore construction and dredging may be obtained from the following MOECC guidelines:
� B-6 Guidelines for Evaluating Construction Activities Impacting on Water Resources;
� Evaluating Construction Activities Impacting on Water Resources, Part III A, Part III B, and Part III C (dredging handbook) and accompanying Appendix A Provincial Sediment Quality Guidelines; and,
� Guidelines for Identifying, Assessing and Managing Contaminated Sediments in Ontario: An Integrated Approach.
Stormwater management should be in accordance with the Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual. Stormwater ponds require an approval under section 53 of the Ontario Water Resources Act.
MOECC has concerns with the use of a cured-in-place process (CIPP) for culverts. Styrene released into the environment can result in harm to fish.
Source Protection
Proponents undertaking a Municipal Class EA project must identify early in the process whether a project is occurring within a source water protection vulnerable area. This must be clearly documented in a Master Plan, Project File report or ESR. If the project is occurring in a vulnerable area, then there may be policies in the local Source Protection Plan (SPP) that need to be addressed (requirements under the Clean Water Act). The proponent should contact and consult with the appropriate Conservation Authority/Source Protection Authority (CA/SPA) to discuss potential considerations and policies in the SPP that apply to the project.
Please include a section in the report on Source Water Protection. Specifically, it should discuss whether or not the project is located in a vulnerable area or changes or creates new vulnerable areas, and provide applicable details about the area. If located in a vulnerable area, proponents should document whether any project activities are a prescribed drinking water threat and thus pose a risk to drinking water (please consult with the appropriate CA/SPA). Where an activity poses a risk to drinking water, the proponent must document and discuss in the report how the project adheres to or has regard to applicable policies in the local SPP. If creating or changing a vulnerable area, proponents should document whether any existing uses or activities may potentially be affected by the implementation of source protection policies. This section should then be used to inform and should be reflected in other sections of the report, such as the identification of net positive/ negative effects of alternatives, mitigation measures, evaluation of alternatives etc. Even if the project activities in a vulnerable area are deemed to not to be a drinking water risk, there may be other policies that apply, so consultation with the local CA/SPA is important.
- 4 -
Waste
Waste, including contaminated soil, must be managed in accordance with MOECC standards. The Environmental Protection Act (EPA) and Regulation 347 require waste to be classified and disposed of appropriately. When determining the waste category, the proponent must ensure compliance with Schedule 4 of Regulation 347.
Where the removal and movement of soils is required for the project, we recommend that you refer to the MOECC document Management of Excess Soil – A Guide for Best ManagementPractices and Ontario Regulation 153/04 and the accompanying Soil, Ground Water and Sediment Standards for Use Under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Actfor guidance on assessment, management, restoration and soil quality criteria.
The Waste Disposal Site Inventory, dated June 1991, may be helpful in identifying the locations of open and closed waste disposal sites in Ontario.
Spills should be reported to the Spills Action Centre at 1-800-268-6060.
Consultation with First Nation and Métis Communities
Your proposed project may have the potential to affect Aboriginal communities who hold or claim Aboriginal or treaty rights protected under Section 35 of Canada’s ConstitutionAct 1982. The Crown has a legal duty to consult First Nation and Métis communities when it has knowledge of established or credibly asserted Aboriginal or treaty rights, and contemplates decisions or actions that may adversely affect them.
Although the Crown remains responsible for ensuring the adequacy of Aboriginal consultation, it may delegate procedural aspects of the consultation process to project proponents. The MOECC relies on Aboriginal consultation conducted by proponents as part of its assessment of the Crown’s obligations and directs proponents during the prescribed process.
Where the Crown’s duty to consult is triggered in relation to your proposed project, the MOECC is delegating the procedural aspects of rights-based consultation to you through this letter.
Based on information you have provided to date and the Crown`s preliminary assessment you are required to consult with the following Aboriginal communities who have been identified as potentially affected by your proposed project:
� Curve Lake First Nation � Alderville First Nation � Hiawatha First Nation � Mississaugas of Scugog First Nation � Metis Nation of Ontario � Kawartha Nishnawbe First Nation � Huron-Wendat (if archaeological assessments will be undertaken)
- 5 -
Steps that you may need to take in relation to Aboriginal consultation for your proposed project are outlined in the “Code of Practice for Consultation in Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Process” which can be found at the following link:
https://www.ontario.ca/document/consultation-ontarios-environmental-assessment-process
Additional information related to Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act is available online at:
www.ontario.ca/environmentalassessments
You must contact the Director of Environmental Approvals Branch under the following circumstances subsequent to initial discussions with the communities identified by MOECC:
� Aboriginal or treaty rights impacts are identified to you by the communities; � You have reason to believe that your proposed project may adversely affect an
Aboriginal or treaty right; � Consultation has reached an impasse; or, � A Part II Order request or elevation request is expected
The MOECC will then assess the extent of any Crown duty to consult for the circumstances and will consider whether additional steps should be taken, including what role you will be asked to play in them.
Should you or any members of your project team have any questions regarding the material above, please contact me at (613) 540-6852.
Yours truly,
Environmental Assessment Coordinator Eastern Region VM/dv

Environmental Impact Statement: Bridgenorth Bypass
Corridor, Peterborough County
The James A. Gifford Causeway across Chemong Lake will require a new road alignment (CR
18) to bypass the urbanized portions of Bridgenorth, Selywn Township, Peterborough County
(Figure 1). This development is anticipated after 2031, but requires preliminary route planning
now. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIS) of the larger corridor area and potential bypass
routes will facilitate suitably informed route decision-making in these considerations.
The current study represents an Addendum to the 1996 Proposed Bridgenorth By-Pass
Environmental Study Report, Smith Township, Peterborough County (Greer Galloway Group
Bridgenorth Bypass Corridor
Page 2 of 7
1996). That was reviewed in subsequent addenda by Greer Galloway Group in 2001 and again in
2006, who concluded "field inspection along the proposed alignment did not reveal any new
impediments to the design. The proposed alignment follows, for a majority of its length, either an
existing bush road, mined-out aggregate quarry or open fields".
This EIS has been conducted at a reconnaissance level of inspection, recognizing that natural
features, functions and potential values will need to be re-examined prior as part of the future
design and development process. Changing evaluation criteria will also mean that the
consideration of features presently considered insignificant is virtually certain to be required
closer to the actual time of development. Accordingly, this EIS aims to provide a broad
understanding of natural environment values and potential constraints to bypass planning and
development but does not evaluate currently prescribed values such as SAR through the
investigative protocols typically required of an active development proposal.
The site inspection was conducted by Daniel F. Brunton on 17 July 2017 under good (clear,
warm) field conditions. Access to natural and near-natural habitats was gained primarily from the
eastern side of the corridor (westward from the Bridgenorth Trail) and eastward from Chemong
Road (CR 18) where natural and near-natural habitat persists. Field notes and photographs were
taken to document observations. Voucher specimens of vascular plants were obtained in some
cases to verify identifications and/ or document the occurrence of potentially significant features.
The study area
The Bridgenorth Bypass (hereafter, the Bypass) study area (shaded area - Figure 2) is a large
area of rolling (drumlinized) till-based landscape in Selwyn Township with a long history of
agricultural development. Relatively little of the area remains in a natural or near-natural
condition west of the extensive Snelgrove Brook Provincially Significant Wetland Complex
(PSW) that marks the eastern edge of the area.
The woodland in the east and to the south is predominately swamp forest. No large open water
bodies are evident although Miller Creek, a tributary of Snelgrove Brook, transects the Bypass
corridor. No bedrock outcropping is evident.
Bridgenorth Bypass Corridor
Page 3 of 7
Natural Habitat
The habitat diversity of the Bypass area is low, consisting mostly of non-natural transformed
cropland (mostly corn) that has little or no potential to support significant natural environment
features or values. Beyond that, i.e. in and about the PSW along Miller Creek, the habitat
consists of deciduous swamp forest with small pockets of swamp thicket and a few groves of
upland forest on higher remnant sand deposits adjacent to the exhausted aggregate site half way
along the Corridor.
The three major natural habitats are evident within or adjacent to the Corridor are described
below.
Deciduous Swamp Forest habitat: this young to submature woodland is dominated by Green
Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) and Red Maple (Acer rubrum), with representation also by
Trembling Aspen (Populus tremuloides), White Elm (Ulmus americana), Balsam Poplar
(Populus balsamifera), White Birch (Betula papyrifera) and White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis)
(Figure 3). Much of the woodland has areas of shallow standing water, although this may reflect
the unusually wet conditions of 2017 rather than typically drier mid-summer conditions. The
undergrowth is dense, consisting of a tangle of native shrubbery such as Speckled Alder (Alnus
incana ssp. rugosa) and both Red-osier and Rough Dogwood (Cornus sericeus and C. rugosa)
Bridgenorth Bypass Corridor
Page 4 of 7
with wetland herbs such as
Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis)
and Sensitive Fern (Onoclea
sensibilis) dominating the peaty
substrate. Non-native invasive
shrubby such as Common
Buckthorn (Frangula alnus)
dominates the disturbed edges of
the swamp vegetation with weedy
native species such as Tall
Goldenrod (Solidago altissima) and
Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus
vitacea).
This habitat dominates the lowlands along Miller Creek, constituting the vast majority of
woodland in the Bypass area. Green Ash is even more dominant in this habitat over a virtual
meadow of non-native Reed-grass (Phalaris arundinacea) at the physically disturbed
southernmost portion of the Corridor adjacent Chemong Road
Swamp Thicket Habitat: although commonly expressed along Miller Creek and eastward along
the PSW (according to satellite imagery), thicket swamp constitutes a minor component of the
wetland habitat closer to and within the Bypass corridor. It is best expressed as Field Willow
(Salix petiolaris) and Green Ash sapling dominated scrub in the (formerly cleared?) wetland area
adjacent to Chemong Road but otherwise represents small glades within the swamp forest
habitat.
Upland Deciduous Forest habitat: a small area of dry, sand-based upland forest exists along
the severely disturbed north and south edges of the exhausted aggregate pit half way along the
corridor. Young Sugar Maple (Acer
saccharum), Red Oak (Quercus
rubra) and Large-toothed Aspen
(Populus grandidentata) are
conspicuous here over an open,
native herb and shrub-dominated
ground vegetation (Figure 4).
Characteristic plant species
observed in this small (2-3 ha) area
include Canada Yew (Taxus
canadensis), Purple-flowering
Raspberry (Rubus odoratus), Blue
Cohosh (Caulophyllum giganteum),
White Trillium (Trillium
Bridgenorth Bypass Corridor
Page 5 of 7
grandiflorum) and Zig-zag Goldenrod (Solidago flexicaulis).
Fauna
Vertebrate fauna were observed incidentally to the investigation of the floristic and vegetation
characteristics of the site, as is appropriate for a reconnaissance level assessment of a
significantly disturbed and homogenous study area. All observation were of common birds,
mammals and amphibians that are typical of disturbed, young forest and forest edges in southern
Ontario.
Faunal observations included bird species Common Crow, Great Crested Flycatcher, Eastern
Wood-pewee, Black-capped Chickadee, House Wren, Red-eyed Vireo, Northern Yellowthroat,
Red-winged Blackbird, Common Grackle, Swamp Sparrow and Song Sparrow. Green Frog and
America Toad tadpoles were found abundantly in flooded scrapes in the transformed landscape
of the exhausted aggregate pit. Evidence of the presence of Woodchuck, White-tailed Deer and
Raccoon was also noted.
Significant Features
No exceptional or ecologically significant features are evident in the study area, excluding the
expected occurrence of three commonly encountered species that are designated as SAR in
Ontario (see below). All native plant species observed are common in southern Ontario, as are
the forms of swamp forest vegetation found here. None of the habitats are either of sufficient
quality (size, age, condition) or size to have a substantial potential to represent significant
features or ecological functions of the larger area.
The agricultural area offers limited potential to the grassland bird SAR that are typically found in
such landscapes across southern Ontario, as this cropland (mostly corn) is unsuitable to most
native bird life. Similarly, while Five-lined Skink (Plestiodon fasciatus) is reported on the
MNRF Natural Heritage data base (accessed 30 August 2017) from the general vicinity of the
Bypass corridor, none were seen in the vicinity of the corridor. The southern Shield population
of this species is a designated Special Concern SAR, which could afford Significant Wildlife
Habitat status to the habitat in which it is found., No examples of potentially suitable habitat
(typically dry, rocky ground) are evident here.
Designated Endangered SAR Butternut (Juglans cinerea) trees were noted along Miller Creek at
44.37747 - 78.37245 and 44.37676 -77.3781; the first is a seemingly healthy plant showing no
signs of blight, as is typical for such 1 cm DBH saplings (the blight typically does not infect
Butternut plants until they attain a few years of age). The second plant is a severely infected,
non-retainable tree ca. 22 cm DBH. Neither plant is within the preferred alternative route nor
would be affected by development there. Their observation confirms, however, that Butternut is

present within wooded portions of Corridor. Should the species still be extant in 2031+ when
development is scheduled, a pre-development survey involving formal provincial investigation
protocols will be required.
Two designated Special Concern SAR were detected during the site reconnaissance. A Monarch
butterfly (Danaus plexippus) passed through (flew by) the area of the exhausted aggregated pit.
Monarch Butterfly is a common species of virtually all natural and non-natural habitat in
southern Ontario and thus the occurrence of a single individual flying across the landscape is
ecologically irrelevant and has no practical application for project planning or conservation
management purposes.
In addition, two Eastern Wood-Pewee (Contopus virens) flycatchers were detected (heard) in the
swamp forest along the western edge of the Snelgrove Brook Wetland (along Miller Creek). This
bird is found in most medium to large size deciduous woodlands across southern Ontario and in
virtually all such forest in eastern Ontario (pers. obs.). Accordingly, its occurrence here is
expected and uninformative beyond satisfying minimum standards for identifying Significant
Wildlife Habitat (see Significant Ecological Functions, below).
Significant Ecological Functions
Provincially Significant Wildlife Habitat (SWH) designation can be achieved for a particular site
by the presence of any one of a long list of criteria involving various assemblages of floristic or
faunal features and conditions. The most frequently satisfied criterion is the presence of one or
more SC SAR - such as Eastern Wood-Pewee in the Bypass area. The 2014 Provincial Policy
Statement (PPS) requires that natural features and values that resent defining criteria for SWH
designation not be compromised by proposed development. Notwithstanding that public
transportation is exempted from the definition of 'development' in the PPS, the proposed Bypass
construction would not materially impact the extent or (modest) quality of young deciduous
forest in the larger area and thus does not contradict PPS requirements.
The wooded areas of the Bypass Corridor could constitute Significant Woodland (SW) as
defined in the PPS, if so designated in pertinent municipal Official Plans. That would most likely
be promoted were the Corridor area be considered as part of a large woodland unit, such as the
woodland of the Snelgrove Brook PSW, or for cultural reasons deemed pertinent by the
municipality. As with SWH above, the test for acceptable development within or adjacent SW is
the degree to which the proposed development would compromise the natural or cultural values
that support the designation. The only natural values which seem feasible in this regard here are
woodland size and ecological function. Neither would be compromised by roadway development
along the western periphery of the larger woodland.

Constraints to Bypass Development
No natural environment constraints to development of the Bridgenorth Bypass are evident on the
basis of data gathered in this EIS Addendum or its predecessor studies. This assumes typical
accommodation of surface water flow (culverts and water course set-backs dictated by fish
habitat protection requirements) and run-off (storm water control). No special feature or sites are
evident nor is there significant potential evident that such features or functions could be detected
in the future.
This is notwithstanding whatever SAR designations may exist in 2031+, which may required
provincial protocol investigations to be undertaken and a mitigation response to be prescribed.
Given the low to modest representation of native biodiversity in and about the Bypass Corridor
study area, however, this is not likely to present a significant development constraint.

areas where the new roadway will require watercourse crossings and perhaps minor realignments. It appears that all culvert crossing locations will be situated within the PSW.
At the south terminus of the Bypass the new roadway must cross over the Snelgrove Creek main channel (road chainage 11+550) several metres east of the existing Chemong Road culvert. Approximately 250 m of Tributary ‘A’ channel will require realignment to accommodate the new roadway corridor and proposed roundabout. Both Snelgrove Creek and the tributary channels were well defined ( 1.5 m W, 0.2 m D) with a sandy, fine gravel bottom. Watercress was prolific, which typically identifies an area as cool/cold water fish habitat, with possible spring upwellings nearby.
A further 700 m to the northeast at chainage 12+850, a crossing of the south-flowing Tributary ‘C’ will be necessary. An existing CSP placed when the haul road was operational remains; however, the roadway appears to have been overtopped frequently and the culvert crossing is no longer functional. Immediately upstream is a well-maintained beaver dam, headwater pond and grassed meadow. The culvert was perched 200 mm at its outlet. A small outlet pool quickly narrowed as the channel disappeared into the wooded swamp. Forage fish were observed near the culvert outlet. No watercress was apparent.
An additional 150 m to the northeast at chainage 12+990, a Tributary ‘D’ culvert crossing will be required. Once again there is an existing CSP; however, it has been completely washed out over the years and moved several metres downstream. The surrounding area including 100 m of roadway adjacent to the crossing was flooded to approximately 200 mm depth as a result of the record high spring and summer 2017 rainfall. The channels up and downstream, typically were well defined.
A final crossing of Tributary ‘D’ will be required at chainage 13+550 just west of the present small diameter CSP culvert under the B. E. L. Rotary Bridgenorth Trail (Brumwell Street ROW). The area is entirely wooded at this crossing location but appears to be somewhat drier. East of the trail is a very large cattail swamp that appears to be the source-waters for Tributary ‘D’.
Discussion
The Provincial Policy Statement (2014) provides guidance with regard to proposed development adjacent to significant natural areas including PSWs. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is typically required that can demonstrate that any impacts associated with the development can be adequately mitigated with minimal residual effects. Although infrastructure related projects are exempt from the policy and are permitted to enter PSWs, (municipal) proponents are expected to adhere to EIA requirements and duly mitigate all impacts to terrestrial and aquatic environments.
In order to adequately determine necessary mitigation measures, investigation of the Snelgrove Brook resident fishery will be required. Hydrotechnical investigations may subsequently be necessary if brook trout are found in order to confirm whether proposed watercourse crossing locations are impacting critical fish habitat (in the case of brook trout - spring upwelling areas at Tributary ‘A’).
Species at Risk (SAR)
Although there is no Aquatic Species at Risk Mapping available for the study area, the adjacent mapping to the east2 identifies that no aquatic SAR species have been located in the immediate vicinity.
Environmental Management during Construction
Recommended measures during the placement of culverts include:
Dewatering and fish salvage required at all crossing locations;

No in-water work from September 15 through June 1;
Silt fencing to demarcate work zones and identify the limits beyond which vegetated areas are not to be disturbed,
Provision of temporary and permanent site protection and restoration measures (seed, native trees and woody shrub plantings);
Maintenance of equipment to avoid spills: and
Vegetation clearing is to be undertaken only during non-nesting periods (April 1 through August 1).
These restrictions are to be stipulated in the construction documentation as required environmental protection measures.
Permits and Approvals
A DFO Request for Review Application must be completed. Environmental protection measures that adequately protect the resident fishery will be required. A work permit will be required from the Otonabee Region Conservation Authority. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry will require submission and approval of an Environmental Impact Assessment study in order to determine the adequacy of mitigation measures proposed to protect the integrity of the surrounding PSW.
