That Report OES 40-09 of the Director, Operations & Emergency Services regarding the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer associated haul routes be .received; 2. That the City of Pickering approves of the use of Scarborough-Pickering Townline Road, Rosebank Road, Fairport Road, Dixie Road and Third Concession Road as described in and subject to the conditions outlined in Report OES 40-09 as haul routes for the construction of the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer; and 3. That a copy of Report OES 40-09 be sent to the Region of York and the Region of Durham. Executive Summary: Through the process of determining a preferred route for the new southeast collector trunk sewer, the Region of York has hired a consultant to assess the conditions of existing surrounding roads to determine proposed haul routes. Haul routes are to be utilized during the construction of the southeast collector trunk sewer to provide access to and from the construction activity sites (shafts), to transport equipment and materials, and to remove surplus excavated material from the tunneling activities. Haul routes have been proposed by York's consultant and consist of the following roads in the City of Pickering Scarborough-Pickering Townline Road (north of Third Concession Road) Rosebank Road (north of the hydro corridor) Fairport Road (north of the hydro corridor) Dixie Road (north of the hydro corridor) Third Concession Road (Whites Road to Dixie Road, and in Cherrywood) Report IDES 40-09 July 6 12009 Subject: Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer 2 8 7 Haul Roads Page 2 Brock Road (from Hwy 401 to Hwy 407) Taunton Road (from Brock Road to York Durham Townline Road) Finch Avenue (from Valley Farm Road to Brock Road) York-Durham Townline Road (from Taunton Road to Hwy 407) The Region, through the consultant's report, is recommending approximately $1,639,000 in upgrades to the haul routes that are under the jurisdiction of the City of Pickering in order to bring them up to a standard to withstand the projected loads during construction of the new southeast collector trunk sewer. Staff is recommending that Council approve the use of the proposed haul routes subject to the conditions as set out in this report. Financial Implications: Approval of the haul; routes and the completion of the proposed upgrades by the Region of York will have a financial benefit to the City in that approximately $1,639,000 of future rehabilitation/reconstruction needs will be addressed. Sustainability Implications: The improvements to the surface of the haul roads will result in a better and safer driving surface, thus reducing maintenance costs and reducing liability and meets the economic and social lenses of sustainability. The rehabilitation methods proposed are designed to reuse existing road materials and therefore meets the environmental lens of sustaiinability. Background: The Regions of York and Durham have submitted the Individual Environmental Assessment to the Ministry of the Environment for the proposed Southeast Collector (SEC) sanitary trunk sewer, part of the York Durham Sewer System (YDSS), on November 28, 2008. The proposed route of the new SEC trunk sewer is along 14th Avenue, Townline Road, the hydro corridor, Liverpool Road, and Finch Avenue to Valley Farm Road. During construction of the new SEC, there will be a requirement for Regional and City roads to be used as haul routes to provide access to and from the various construction compounds. These compounds are required where maintenance shafts and construction shafts are located. Haul routes will be designated roads used to supply material, such as equipment and tunnel segment liners to the compounds, as well as remove surplus excavated material during the construction of shafts and the sewer tunnel. Haul routes must be able to handle heavy equipment and loads during all mgnths of the year, including when load restrictions are imposed during March and April.' It is anticipated that the haul routes will CORP0227-07/01 revised Report OES 40-09 July 6, 12009 Subject: Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer Haul Roads Page 3 288 be required for a period of three years (2010-2012) as the new SEC is being constructed. The process of determining haul routes by the proponents commenced early during the evaluation of the short listed five sewer routes back in November 2006. City staff conducted a preliminary review of haul routes but did not provide detailed comments on all five sewer routes and decided to wait until a preferred sewer route was chosen. Once the preferred route was selected for the new SEC, further discussions took place regarding the proposed haul routes for the preferred sewer route. Over a period of approximately one year (November 2006 to November 2007), certain City and Regional roads were added and deleted to the proposed!haul routes, including connection points to Hwy 401 and Hwy 407, as the preliminary design of the trunk sewer was being refined. The proponents initiated a haul route condition survey and assessment using the consulting firm of Conestoga-Rovers & Associates (CRA). A preliminary meeting was held October 17, 2007 with affected municipalities and the consultants to discuss the survey and assessment process. The work plan was to conduct a visual survey in the fall of 2007 and physical assessments in spring; 2008, with a report to follow. A draft report was prepared in September 2008. A copy was not sent to the City until January 2009 upon request. A set of draft haul route upgrade drawings was received in December 2008 for review and comment. In Report OES 05-09 dated January 12, 2009 regarding comments of the Final EA Report, November 2008, staff indicated that sufficient information had not been received in order to accept the EA Report's recommendajtion on the use of haul routes. Council approved the recommendation that endorsemeh, t of the preferred alternative is subject to receiving more information on the haul roads ',under the jurisdiction of the City of Pickering and approval of those haul roads by the City of Pickering. City staff received the final report on the Haul Route Condition Assessment dated April 2009 on May 20, 2009 and commenced a detailed review in conjunction with the 70% design haul routes drawings. Haul Route Condition Assessment: The haul route condition assessment report pre~ared by CRA was completed for the following purposes: • evaluate the existing condition of the proposed haul routes • document the locations with major deficiencies • assess the capability of each section of the haul routes to sustain the existing and future projected vehicle loadings CORP0227-07/01 revised j Report OES 40-09 July 6, 12009 Subject: Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer 2 $ 9 Haul Roads . Page 4 • evaluate the capability of each section of the haul routes to carry additional truck loading during the construction period • provide maintenance/rehabilitation recommendations to improve the road conditions, and • provide design recommendations to increase the capability of the haul routes to carry projected construction and design loads The report recommends the following roads to be used as haul routes: Provincial Roads H 401, H 407 and H 7 York Region Roads York-Durham Townlinee Road, 14 Avenue Durham Region Taunton Road, Brock !Road, Whites Road, Altona Road, Finch Roads Avenue Markham Roads 9 Line, Box Grove B -Pass Pickering Roads Scarborough-Pickering Townline Road, Rosebank Road, Fairport Road, Dixie Road, Third Concession Road The pattern of the haul routes is illustrated in the attached figure (Attachment #1). It is recommended in the haul route condition assessment report that prior to commencement of the sewer tunnel construction, certain roads be upgraded to provide suitable strength to meet the loading requirements. Also, when construction is completed, the roads will be re-assessed as they are to be left in or re-instated to an acceptable condition to allow for general use by the public. It is important to note that the required upgrades to the haul routes before'and after construction of the tunnel are a requirement for mitigation and are not considered enhancements related to the proposed enhancement plan. Haul Route Upgrades All of the recommended haul roads under the jurisdiction of the City of Pickering require upgrades prior to being used as part of the haul route system. The following upgrades have been recommended in the report by CRA: Road Limits Upgrades Scarborough-Pickering Third Concession Road to Pulverize, remix, add 25mm Townline Road Taunton Road Granular A, repave base and to as halt Rosebank Road SEC to south of Third Pulverize, remix, add 25mm Concession Road Granular A, surface treatment Rosebank Road North of Third Concession Remove and replace 50mm Road to Taunton Road Granular A, surface treatment Rosebank Road South of Third Concession Cold plane 40mm asphalt and Road to north of Thi replace CORP0227-07/01 revised i Report OES 40-09 July 6, 2009 Subject: Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer 290 Haul Roads Page 5 Road Lim #s Upgrades Concession Road (Hamlet of Cher ood Third Concession Road Between Rosebankl Road and Cold plane 40mm asphalt and Rosebank Road (Hamlet of replace Cher ood Fairport Road SEC to Third Concession Full reconstruction (granular Road and asphalt) Dixie Road SEC to Gossamer Drive Remove 90mm asphalt and replace Dixie Road Gossamer Drive to third Pulverize, remix, add 25mm Concession Road Granular A, repave base and to as halt Third Concession Road Whites Road to Fairport Road Pulverize, remix, add 25mm Granular A, repave base and to as halt Third Concession Road Fairport Road to Dixie Road Pulverize; remix, add 25mm Granular A, repave base and to asphalt The Region's consultant has estimated that the;value of the proposed upgrades is approximately $1,639,000, including a 10% contingency. City staff do not concur with the recommendation for the upgrade to Rosebank Road in the context of allowing full load vehicles during load restrictions (March and April annually). The Region of York is requesting approval for the use of the above noted City roads as haul routes. In order to start construction of the new SEC in 2010 (subject to approval of the Individual Environmental Assessment) haul route upgrades must commence in summer 2009 and York Region is committed to undertaking the upgrades prior to EA approval. A tender package has been prepared and is scheduled to be out for bidding in July 2009 with an award in August 2009. HaWl Route construction will be complete in spring 2010. Conditions of Haul Route Approval City staff recommend approval of the aforementloned roads to be used as haul routes for the construction of the new SEC with the following conditions: 1. The Region's contractor apply for Road Qccupancy Permits prior to commencement of construction of the upgrades. 2. The Region be responsible for all costs associated with the upgrades regardless of whether the IEA for the new SEC sewer is approved or not. CORP0227-07/01 revised i i Report OES 40-09. July 6, 2009 Subject: Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer 291 Haul Roads Page 6 3. The Region guarantee workmanship of the upgrades for a period of two years following completion of all works and reqtification of any deficiencies. 4. The works include the removal and replacement of all entrance culverts and cross road culverts deemed deficient in the opinion of City of Pickering staff. 5. That all haul routes be upgraded to a full load standards such that reduced loads do not have to be imposed during the period that such restrictions are normally imposed (March and April annually). 6. The Region acknowledge that the recommended upgrades to Rosebank Road (surface treatment) do not constitute the standards for full load road and that load restrictions will be imposed on Rosebank Road during the period that such restrictions are normally imposed (March and April annually) or alternatively the Region substitute the surface treatment with base and top asphalt. 7. That approval of the upgrades to and the use of the haul routes, prior to the acceptance of the proposed enhancement plan, does not negate the possibility of incorporating enhancements into these roads as a component of the enhancement plan. 8. The Region provide full-time inspection services during the construction of the upgrades as well as regular monitoring and compliance control during construction of the New SEC for speed adherence and designated haul route adherence. 9. Should the location of the approved site to receive the surplus excavated material require additional City of Pickering roads to be used as haul roads, a similar condition assessment and approval process be followed for the additional haul routes.
