Notice of construction: Wigton St. at Argyle St. – Nov 18

AVERTEX Utility Solutions Inc. has been contracted by Bell Canada to complete the preliminary relocation work that is associated with the rebuild of the Argyle St bridge. This work includes underground cable vault rebuilds, underground conduit replacement and installation, placement of new cast-in place cable vaults, directional boring work and new cable installation. This work is going to take place both North, South and West of the current Argyle St bridge. The anticipation is that the civil work for this project will be on-going in different staging areas for approximately 5 months starting in late November.

The first stage will require a road closure of Wigton Street at Argyle Street. The closure will affect northbound access to Argyle Street at Wigton Street. Southbound access to Wigton Street from Argyle Street will be unaffected. Work is planned to start during the week of November 18th and continue until December 20th, with the potential of continuation on January 9th until January 24th. Between December 20th and January 9th the northbound lane will be open to normal traffic. Below follows a list of specific items that will be affected during this time;

  • Recycling and Garbage pick-up will be at 7AM. AVERTEX will move the containers from residents living on the east side of Wigton Street to across the road for pickup. Please ensure your containers are labeled with your address number. Containers will be moved back by AVERTEX at the end of the day.
  • Pedestrian access will be maintained during construction.
  • Construction equipment and material will be occupying the NB lane of Wigton at Argyle.
  • All residents and buses will be required to leave Wigton St heading Southbound.
  • Access to residential driveways will not be disrupted

Information for permanent residents affected by the October 31 storm

On November 4, Haldimand County Council passed a resolution requesting that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing activate the Disaster Recovery Assistance Program (DRAO) to assist permanent homeowners with the costs of cleaning, repairing and replacing essential property.

Homeowners whose primary residence was affected by the storm are encouraged to read the DRAO funding guidelines/eligibility criteria to see if they qualify. Ultimately, the decision to activate the DRAO program rests with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing.

Given the severity of the storm’s impact, residents of the County with proper documentation (e.g: driver’s license, tax bill, utility bill, etc.) may bring debris, tree limbs or construction waste from clean up activities to the Canborough Transfer Station free of charge until November 30.

Notice of Public Information Centre: LPRCA Flood Hazard Mapping & Risk Assessment (Nov 27)

Long Point Region Conservation Authority
Flood Hazard Mapping and Risk Assessment

Long Point Region Conservation Authority (LPRCA) has initiated a project to update and create new flood hazard mapping focused on flood-vulnerable communities within its watershed. Accurate floodplain mapping is required to support land use planning and permitting decisions, flood-related emergency response and mitigation planning in at-risk communities. This project will also update municipal risk assessment information for flood hazard mapping, inventorying at-risk infrastructure and estimating damage potential. The project will be completed by early 2020.

To share project information and receive public feedback, LPRCA will be hosting Public Information Centres (PICs) in several locations across the study area. Two rounds of PICs will be held, with the first set of sessions scheduled at the following locations:

DateLocationPIC Study Area
Nov. 26, 2019
6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.		Long Point Region Conservation Authority,
4 Elm Street, Tillsonburg		Tillsonburg, Norwich

Nov. 28, 2019
6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.		Vienna Community Centre,
26 Fulton Street, Vienna		Port Burwell, Vienna

 

Landowners and members of the public are invited to attend the PICs to contribute knowledge of local conditions and learn about project findings. The PICs will be open house events with no formal presentations. Staff from LPRCA, local municipalities and Wood, Environment & Infrastructure Solutions will be available to answer questions relating to the project.

The scope of this project is limited to updating the hazard mapping using current technology and resources. Updates to policies and plans are not included in the scope of this project. Public consultation requirements for any resulting amendments to the regulated area of Ontario Regulation 178/06 made under the Conservation Authorities Act will be met by the PICs.

Project comments and input provided at a PIC will be maintained on file for use during the study and may be included in study documentation.

Lake Erie conditions statement – high lake level outlook 

This message is to provide an update on the elevated potential for lakeshore flooding and erosion along the Lake Erie shoreline. Water levels remain well above average in all of the Great Lakes. As of October 10, Lake Erie’s level was 68 cm above the long-term average for this time of the year.

While the lake’s level has decreased over recent months, there remains a heightened risk of shoreline flooding, beach submersion, crawl space and septic system inundation, and wave-driven erosion due to these record-high static levels on Lake Erie. This risk is expected to remain in place through the fall.

Local police and Haldimand County flood co-ordinators are advised that there is higher than normal potential for shoreline flooding and shore erosion through late 2019. The public is reminded to exercise caution around the shoreline, as well as nearby rivers and streams. Private land owners should prepare their properties as best as possible, and monitor shoreline erosion works on their properties. The higher than normal lake level coupled with wave action can impact and cause failure of shoreline erosion works.

Lake conditions and forecasts are being monitored closely and flood messages will be issued as necessary based on Lake level forecasts.

Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Updated Provincial Flood Watch

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry updated a Provincial Flood Watch for Lake Erie based on high static lake level on October 8, 2019, which indicates:

  • Great Lakes water levels remain well above average with most continuing at or near record highs.
  • Lake Erie’s September monthly mean level was 69 cm above average, a new record high for the month.
  • Lake Erie fell 12 cm last month, which is more than its average September decline of 9 cm.
