With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record. This Notice is issued on August 31, 2017. Notice of Study Completion Taplow Creek Localized Erosion Protection Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study Manchester Crescent and Mayfair Road The Town of Oakville has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to address the problem of localized erosion and creek instability along Taplow Creek (adjacent to Manchester Crescent, Edgehill Place, Runnymead Crescent and Mayfair Road). The study characterized the existing site conditions, determined the causes of erosion, and developed alternative solutions for stabilization and rehabilitation of the creek channel and banks. The study was conducted in compliance with a Schedule "B" project as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (Oct. 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, and 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The selected preferred alternative to address erosion concerns within the study area is to locally realign Taplow Creek away from the toe of valley slope and provide additional ecological benefit through wetland creation. The Project File has been prepared to document the planning and decision-making process for this study. By this Notice, the Project File is being placed on the public record for a thirty (30) day review period from and including September 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 at the following locations and through the following website at http://www.oakville.ca/ environment/taplow-creek-erosion-protection.html: Town of Oakville Engineering and Construction and Clerk's departments Town Hall, 1225 Trafalgar Road, Oakville, ON Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Oakville Public Library, Glen Abbey Branch 1415 Third Line, Oakville, ON Sunday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Interested persons may provide written comments to one of the Project Team members listed below: Kristina Parker, P.Eng., Water Resources Engineer Town of Oakville, 1225 Trafalgar Road Oakville, ON L6H 0H3 Tel: 905-845-6601, ext. 3889 (TTY 905-338-4200) Fax: 905-335-7861 kristina.parker@oakville.ca Anna Howes, M.Sc., P.Eng.
