The Proposed Project

The City of Ottawa is proposing the rehabilitation of six (6) stormwater outfalls at 5 locations within the geographic limits of Ottawa, Ontario that exist within the urban area along the south shore of the Ottawa River. The proposed involves work in both previously disturbed and undisturbed environments. Rehabilitation work will occur on federal lands owned by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the National Capital Commission.   The rehabilitation of the outfalls is required due to ongoing deterioration associated with their end of life cycle. The works include rehabilitation/replacement of the current stormwater outfalls to the Ottawa River which will improve the overall resiliency of the structures and provide protection from shoreline erosion. A project works description for each outfall is provided below. It is expected that the work will occur August 2020 and be completed by December 2020. Project components at each location include:

 

•             OUT4312 & OUT4313 (Broadview)Removal and replacement of the existing headwall with railing, steel grate, and splash pad

•             Implementation of ice scour protection

•             Implementation of a scour pad to prevent erosion

•             Temporary cofferdam installation

•             Vegetation removals, excavation of existing material, minor regrading

OUT04452 (Boteler/Bolton)

•             Abandon existing submerged outfall in its current location including on land portion of the pipe up to the first upstream manhole

OUT04504 (Birch Street)

•             Abandon existing submerged outfall in its current location including on land portion of the pipe up to the second upstream manhole

•             Placement of armour stone around the new headwall for erosion and ice scour protection

•             Implementation of a scour pad to prevent erosion

•             Temporary cofferdam installation

•             Vegetation removals, excavation of existing material, minor regrading

OUT11723 (St. Laurent Blvd)

•             Replacement of the 375 mm diameter pipe between the first upstream and second upstream manholes
