EROSION CONTROL AND SLOPE STABILIZATION IN METROPOLITAN TORONTO
19B3 PROGRAMME
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to outline the progress of the Erosion Control
and Slope Stabilization Project for Metropolitan Toronto which is designed to
carry out the following
(a) Major erosion control and slope stabilization remedial works carried
out on a priority basis, on watercourses draining generally in excess
of l,300 hectares
(b) Initiate a preventative programme in the form of minor remedial works
and revegetation of embankment.
Since site conditions change continually, the priorities have to be reviewed
on a regular basis The current top priorities are reflected in the work
programme for 1983 and the 'Pool of Priority Sites', which are found in the
respective sections of this report

CURRENT PRIORITIES
Due to the large number of sites requiring erosion control and bank
stabilization work throughout Metropolitan Toronto, major remedial work is
being undertaken on a priority basis The original priority ratings listed
in the James F MacLaren report of March, 1970, are used as a starting point
in assessing the rate of progress and deterioration during the twelve years
that have elapsed Based on year-round monitoring, the severity of the
problem in its present state and a fair idea of its relative potential to
deteriorate, the staff has determined a pool of sites bearing high priority
ratings. Since erosion is a dynamic problem, the priorities within this
pool change continually as we strive to ameliorate the list with the steady
influx of technical data on site conditions. Therefore the following list
of "current priorities" will be reviewed regularly during 1983 in order to
accommodate any significant changes and the possible inclusion of new sites
Added to our current priority list, denoted by an asterick (*) , are sites
which were considered for remedial work in previous years, but for various
reasons have been deferred indefinately These sites are included for your
info1IDation and will be reconsidered for remedial work upon the resolution
of outstanding issues.

EROSION CONTROL AND SLOPE STABILIZATION IN TIlE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF PEEL
1983 PROGRAMt1E
INTRODUCTION
Following the erosion inventory and priority study that was carried out for
the Regional Municipality of Peel, a list of significant erosion sites was
prepared, from which staff formulates the annual work programmes.
Since site conditions change continually, the priorities have to be reviewed
on a regular basis. The current top priorities are reflected in the work
programme for 1983 and the 'Pool of Erosion Priority Sites' which are found
in the respective sections of this report.
It should be noted that i~ the Region of Peel, the municipal share of the
costs of erosion control programme are passed on to the local municipalities.
As a result, the erosion priority pool is divided to coincide with the three
local municipalities within the Region of Peel, namely the Town of Caledon,
the City of Brampton and the City of Mississauga and consequently, the
relative priorities are not given on a regional basis.
1983 is the second year of the 1982-1984 Project for Erosion Control and
Slope Stabilization in the Regional Municipality of Peel. This project
has budgeted $30,000.00 for the 1983 programme.

CURRENT PRIORITIES:
Given the number of sites requiring erosion control and slope stabilization
work throughout the Region of Peel, major remedial work is being undertaken
on a priority basis. The original priority ratings listed in the Erosion
Inventory and Priorities Study of 1977, are used as a starting point in
assessing the rate of progress and deterioration of erosion sites during
~
the years that have elapsed. \ \ \

has determined a pool of sites bearing high priority ratings Because
erosion is a dynamic problem, the priorities within this pool change
continually as we strive to ameliorate the list with the steady influx
of technical data on site conditions. Therefore, the following list of
"current priorities" will be reviewed regularly during 1983 in order to
accommodate any significant changes and the possible inclusion of new sites.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this addendum is to provide additional funding for the proposed
flood control remedial works as outlined in the approved Lrief on Channel
Improvements - Main Humber River, Village of Bolton, Town of Caledon, dated
May 1981.
C-57
- 2 -
LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The work proposed in connection with this project involves the Main Humber
River in the village of Bolton as shown on Figure 1 The majority of the
existing development in the Village is situated on the floodplain of the river
at the bottom of a deep well-defined valley In many areas including the
downtown business section, existing grade is only about 2 metres above the
normal water level of the river
In the recent updating of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority's Watershed Plan, Bolton was identified as a damage centre This
indicates that it is a flood susceptible area in which potential damages and
community disruption are significant Based upon a ranking of factors such as
expected damage, threa t to li fe, disruption. of transportation routes, etc ,
the Bolton Damage Centre was identified as an area of high priority for the
implementation of flood protection works.
The various components proposed in this project are detailed on Figure 2 and
consist of a major channel diversion to bypass the oxbow, the construction of
a new bridge over the diversion, the reconstruction of an existing King Street
bridge and the berrning of three low lying areas situated upstream of the
diversion. Some channel improvements are also required below the diversion
to the reconstructed bridge These proposed works not only provide a high
degree of flood protection to the Village of Bolton, but also maintains the
existing Old Mill Dam and by restricting the King Street Bridge just below the
diversion, a base flow will be maintained through the existing oxbow. This
will ensure the retention of a riverside environment for the residential
development which abuts the existing stream bank.
Due to the time delay between carrying out the preliminary engineering design
cost estimates and the completion of the detailed design to the point of calling
tenders, the estimated cost of the project has increased primarily as a result
of inflation. Also, some minor changes were required in the original proposal
as a result of detailed design. These included some additional berming upstream
of the Old Mill Dam (see Figure 2) , modifications to the flow restrictor at the
upstream King Street Bridge and some additional costs for the relocation of
municipal services.
It is therefore necessary to request additional funding through this addendum
to enable the completion of the proposed works The estimated additional
funding has been included in the Authority's 1983 budget

I PURPOSE OF PROJECT
The purpose of this project is to enable 'I'he Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority to continue to carry out channel
improvements on the East Branch of the Highland Creek
The channel improvements proposed will offer protection to those areas
which require attention at this time Although it is anticipated that
some control on reducing the high flows and velocities through the
East Branch will be part of the recommend~tions of an engineering
study presently underway, site specific works are required at this time
to ensure protection to development at the top of the valley wall and
to municipal services in the valley.
A great deal of the erosion on the East Branch occurred during two
major floods in late August, 1976. Since this branch had never had any
erosion protection works, the damage that ensued was very extensive
However the highly urbanized character of most of the watershed has
also contributed greatly to the erosion problems The increase in peak
flows, higher velocities and more frequent flooding combined with the
eroded condition of the valley and the very erosion susceptible soils
inherent to the nighland Creek demands that protective steps be taken.
Otherwise, the natural valley character will be totally destroyed
resulting in a hazardous situation to existing aevelopment along the
valley rim and the municipal services in the valley.
The estimated cost of this project is $150,000.00
C-65
II LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The remedial works proposed in this project are located on the East
Branch, Sitc No 2 and 3 on Figure 1
Coincident riverbank croGion, combined with cxcessive ground water
seepage and the sandy/silty soils found at both these sites has
resulted in very largc, vcry active scars and sediment generating
sources If left unattended, the erosion scars will soon encroach
into adjacent urbilll areas and the loss of valuable open space and
mature vegetation will continue unabated
The specific remedial works proposed will eliminate or at. least
minimize the effects of the erosion and will basically consist of
(i) minor channel relocation
(H) rip rap armouring to protect the toe of
the valley wall
(Hi) and the introduction of plant material and
drains to aid in the rehabilitation of the
slope
Site locations and scope of these works are illustrated on Figure 2
and Figure 3 while a typical channel section is found on Figure 4.
