Description

Long Point Region Conservation Authority (LPRCA) intends to hire a qualified Engineering Consultant to develop Sediment Management Plans (SMP) for Vittoria Dam and Teeterville Dam. The intention of the SMP is to acquire the supporting information to make decisions about the dams through a future environmental assessment process. LPRCA will evaluate the submitted proposals for engineering services received, and select a successful consultant to undertake the project.

Project Scope:
Vittoria Dam
A Dam Safety Review (DSR) was conducted in 2014-15 by AECOM. The report describes the natural heritage/environmental features in the vicinity of and downstream of the dam. The DSR included a cursory sediment quantity estimate for Vittoria Dam. No sediment quality sampling was carried out. LPRCA requires a written report recommending how accumulated sediment can be managed at Vittoria Dam in the event the reservoir is drawn down. The SMP should include:

Sufficient quality testing to satisfy Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) requirements for sediment quality testing. LPRCA will require sediment quality samples to be collected and analyzed in a certified lab.
A detailed estimate of accumulated sediment
A strategy for managing sediment should the reservoir be drawn down for any reason including decommissioning, repair or replacement.
A recommendation on a monitoring program and sediment release contingency plan.

Teeterville Dam
The Dam Safety Review and Condition Assessment (DSRCA) was conducted in 2016 by AECOM. The report describes the natural heritage/environmental features in the vicinity of and downstream of the dam. The DSRCA also includes a sediment quantity and quality analysis. The report concluded that the reservoir had accumulated 321,500 m3 of sediment and that it could be disposed of on-site or at any other suitable location.

The successful consultant will review the DSRCA’s sediment management section and determine whether it contains sufficient detail to satisfy the MOECC’s requirements for sediment quality testing. If it is determined that there is not sufficient detail, further testing should be conducted. LPRCA may require sediment quality samples to be collected and analyzed in a certified lab.
A review of the accumulated sediment quantity estimate, if necessary for the purposes of this project.
A strategy for managing sediment should the reservoir be drawn down for any reason including decommissioning, repair or replacement.
A recommendation on a monitoring program and sediment release contingency plan.
