NEW: Given consideration to the December 2020 What We Heard document, the current scope of proposed flood mitigation work is focused on the area from Portugal Cove Road to Kings Bridge Road. Another public meeting will be held prior to the submission of the Environmental Preview Report for this current scope of work. Check out the Key Dates for details.

The Rennies River Catchment Stormwater Management Plan (RRCSMP) was completed in 2014. On May 26, 2014, Council Directive CD# R2014-05-26/5 recommended implementation of the recommendations below to address flooding in the area.

While the report recommended that the weir at Long Pond be given priority and the two problem areas located downstream of Long Pond be given second priority, the City has been working through the provincial environmental approval process for the Long Pond Weir Project since that time and the process is still ongoing. It has been determined through floodplain modelling that completion of the work in the Priority 2 area can proceed before the proposed work at the outlet of Long Pond.

Feedback gathered through this project will be included in the City's submission to the Government of NL as a part of the Environmental Assessment process.

    Thanks for the follow up. With the flow control structure in place, the pond will retain water for a longer period of time (which can be measured in days). This very short-term flooding is not expected to negatively impact trees.

    Thank you for your question. Water logging should not be an issue.  A local storm system is proposed behind the berm for properties along Winter Ave.  This will be discussed by the consultant at the Public Meeting on March 22. To register see the Key Dates on this page.

    What is the estimated cost to construct the berm upstream from Portugal Cove Road to the bottom of the Larch Place Park steps?

    David Winter asked over 3 years ago

    The flood mitigation works behind Pringle Place must also include the work along Rennie's Mill Rd, as well as, on the upstream side of the bridge parapet at Portugal Cove Rd.   The estimate to complete the flood mitigation in this area (which includes costs for engineering, construction and HST) is $1.5M.

    Fred Hubley asked over 3 years ago

    Thank you for your question. During detailed design, special attention will be given to areas where water could become trapped; the design solution will ensure that excessive amounts of water does not build up in isolated areas during significant rainfall events.   The proposed berms will be constructed on existing trails; therefore, excavation of river banks will be limited. Any excavation that does occur will be reinstated. For areas where erosion protection is requires, there will be some excavation in the river; however, the erosion protection design will minimize the amount of required excavation.  Standard practices, including the use of silt fences, will be employed during construction to protect the Rennie’s River.

    Concerns raised are duly noted.  Not sure why your raise hand did not work effectively in Teams. We can certainly test that out for a future session in advance.  The river system has been hydraulically modelled incorporating the proposed flood mitigation measures. The berms will be designed in consideration of water levels that would be experienced during a significant runoff event.  For the Portugal Cove Road bridge, it is proposed that the existing safety rail on the upstream side of the bridge be raised by approximately 0.2 m by constructing a concrete wall. The elevation of the top of this new wall will match the elevation of the berms on either side of the river at the bridge.   Project funding budget is noted in the FAQs.

    As part of the current flood protection work, the City is planning to provide erosion protection for this section of river bank. It is likely that amour stone, similar to the stone currently in place along this river bank, will be placed along the unprotected section. The intention is not to remove mature trees.

    At the rear of 3 Pringle Place there will be a concrete retaining wall structure along the trail alignment.   Canadian Building code requires a minimum 1,050mm high handrail / fence along the top of the retaining wall adjacent to the elevated walking trail.  The detailed design for the handrail / fence have not been started.   Homeowners will be consulted on their preference of the fence height adjacent to their property.   The concrete retaining wall design can accommodate a 1,800mm high fence at the top of the wall.   Adding a 1,800mm high fence to the top of this retaining wall will increase the overall structure height (retaining wall 1,350mm plus fence 1,800mm) to 3,150mm at the rear of 3 Pringle Place.

    The proposed berm to be constructed from Portugal Cove Road to approximately the foot of the steps leading to Larch Place Park was to be built following the weir dam at Long Pond ( Phase 1 of the recommendations) .Has the City formally asked the resident property owners, whose properties are adjacent to the proposed berms , if they want the berms built , without Phase 1 (the weir dam) being constructed firstly?

    David Winter asked over 3 years ago

    As noted in the August 24, 2020 Decision Note, one of the concerns raised during the December 19, 2018, Committee of the Whole meeting was what would be the affect with proceeding with Phase 2A flood mitigation works prior to the completion of the Long Pond Weir Project.  (This issue was raised through Council via email from area residents.)   CBCL were subsequently hired to undertake additional storm water modelling to review the impact of the downstream phasing sequence in the absence of the Long Pond Weir being competed.   Completion of the Long Pond Weir alone will not offer flood protection to accommodate the 1:100 AEP Climate Change design storm. The recent modelling completed by CBCL, as the alternative project phasing sequence, allows for the Phase 2 works to be completed in advance of completion of the Long Pond Weir and provide the necessary 1:100 AEP Climate Change flood mitigation to properties at Pringle Place, Winter Ave, Vaughan Place, Kings Bridge Road and The Boulevard.
