Status: The
Notice of Study Commencement was published in June 2017. A Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on November 2, 2017. A second PIC was held on April 17, 2018. The final draft report is now published on the website below. Barrie City Council
endorsed the Master Plans on May 13, 2019. The
staff report from that meeting is available. - see
Legistar for details on the amendment made by City Council. A Notice of Completion was issued in June 2019 for the Master Plans:
Notice of Completion
List of Schedule B Projects
Consultant: C.C. Tatham & Associates Limited
Study Level: Municipal Class EA – Master Planning Process, Approach #2 **Please Note: We have switched the study to Approach #2 prior to the second PIC.
Purpose: To consider design alternatives and establish the preferred recommended design alternative for drainage improvements throughout the City of Barrie.
Scope:
The study was completed in accordance with Approach #2 of the Master Planning Process outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015). Alternative drainage solutions were developed and evaluated based on their natural, physical, social, cultural, and economic impacts and the opportunities and constraints of the project. A Notice of Completion is being issued for Schedule B projects. The Master Plan will become the basis for, and be used in support of, future investigations for Schedule C projects identified within it. The Study Area excludes the Sophia Creek watershed and Mulcaster drainage area and the Salem and Hewitt’s Secondary Plan Areas, which were studied under separate projects.
Key Considerations: Impacts on property, municipal road systems, public safety and the natural environment.

Summary |
Drainage Master Plan Report | Main body of the report |
Appendix A - Figures | Figures from the main body of the report |
Appendix B – Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modelling | A technical memorandum on the detailed computer modeling information used to model the existing and future scenarios. This appendix also includes the geotechnical report that was used to determine infiltration rates. |
Appendix C – Background Recommendations | Contains a summary of the previous studies that were used as input into this 2019 Drainage Master Plan |
Appendix D – Private Property Flooding | This appendix contains a list of properties that potentially could be impacted by flooding during a severe storm event. This is only an estimate for comparison purposes and does not replace floodplain mapping or site specific flood studies. |
Appendix E – Fluvial Geomorphic & Erosion Threshold Assessment | Contains the report completed by WatersEdge consulting. The report identifies the areas of existing erosion through geomorphic field assessments and identifies erosion repair projects. |
Appendix F - Source Water Protection |
Contains a technical memorandum by Azimuth Environmental outlining sources water protection issues that should be factoring into the Drainage Master Plan. |
Appendix G – Natural Heritage Assessment |
Contains a technical memorandum by Azimuth Environmental to that identifies potential terrestrial and fisheries constraints regarding Natural Heritage Features and Functions associated with the defined study area, including Species at Risk and general characterization of vegetation communities, fish and fish habitat. |
Appendix H – Archeological Assessment | Include a report to document the Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment in support of the Drainage Master Plan |
Appendix I – Cultural Heritage Review | This report review properties potentially impacted by drainage projects on Barrie's existing heritage inventory; and, any additional properties of prospective heritage value that are on site, adjacent or nearby, but have not yet been identified on Barrie's heritage inventory. |
Appendix J – PIC#1 | Contains information related to Public Information Centre #1 held in November of 2017. |
Appendix K – Phosphorus Reduction | A technical memorandum to identify and assess stormwater management facility (SWMF) retrofit opportunities and low impact development (LID) measures, with the primary intent of reducing phosphorus discharge to Lake Simcoe. |
Appendix L – Preliminary Preferred Solution | Documentation of the preliminary preferred alternative presented as PIC#2 |
Appendix M – PIC#1 | Contains information related to Public Information Centre #2 held in April of 2018. | Appendix N – Conceptual Drawings | This appendix contains the project by project drawings (maps) of all the projects proposed in the drainage master plan.
