2023-KCCA-Mapping - KCCA Watershed Enhanced Riverine Floodplain Mapping

Kettle Creek Conservation Authority (KCCA) is soliciting quotes from qualified engineering consultants to undertake the necessary work to generate inundation mapping for Dodd Creek and its tributaries and drains in the project study area. All components of this analysis shall be consistent with applicable standards and in accordance with the 2002 Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) River & Stream Systems: Flooding Hazard Limit – Technical Guide and the Federal Flood Mapping Guidelines Series (Natural Resources Canada and Public Safety Canada, 2018-2022). All maps must be suitable for regulatory purposes, including having final engineering reports and maps stamped by applicable qualified professionals. To ensure maps can be used for regulatory purposes, the Province’s technical guidance, standards and policies take precedence where any conflicts arise. Inundation mapping for the study area will be developed and implemented to assist with flood forecasting and warning as well as emergency response, including an access/egress assessment during a flood event and to inform land use planning and permitting decisions.
