In March 2017, the City of Barrie (City) retained Tatham Engineering Limited (Tatham) to prepare a Drainage Master Plan for the City following Approach #2 of the Master Planning process outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Document (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015). The study area for the Drainage Master Plan includes the entire City of Barrie excluding the Sophia Creek watershed, Mulcaster drainage area and Annexation Lands (which were studied under separate projects).
Key Considerations: Impacts on property, municipal road systems, public safety and the natural environment. Final Report

Summary |
Drainage Master Plan Report (March 2019)
| 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
| A Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment was completed: 1) to provide information about the property’s geography, history, previous archaeological fieldwork and current land condition. 2) to evaluate in detail the property’s archaeological potential, which will support recommendations for Stage 2 survey for all or parts of the property; and 3) To recommend appropriate strategies for Stage 2 survey. |
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. They are organized by watershed with the project numbers below. |
