The purpose of the study was to assess the problem of shoreline erosion and evaluate alternatives to reduce risk to public and private property. Shorewood Promenade shoreline was identified as a high priority erosion site following the 2019 record breaking high Lake Ontario water levels. The recommended solution to reduce erosion risk within the studyarea includes constructionofanarmour stone revetment to protect the toe of the natural bluff. The recommended solution was evaluated along with two (2) other alternatives and was selected based on various environmental, social and cultural, and economic considerations. The recommended solution addresses the long-term sustainability of the shoreline and considers such factors as lake levels, wave events, ecological function, tableland uses and impacts on adjacent shoreline sites. The presence of bank swallows, which are designated under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Species at Risk Act (SARA), were confirmed during the course of the study. Town staff and our consultants are working closely with the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks (MECP) to obtain the necessary approvals for this project to demonstrate an overall net benefit to banks swallows, subject to the ESA and SARA. The study was carried out in accordance with the requirements as described in the Municipal Engineers Association'sMunicipal Class EnvironmentalAssessment (EA) document (October 2000, as amended in 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
