CITY OF PICKERING
FRENCHMAN’S BAY HARBOUR ENTRANCE
CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY REPORT
Improving the
Frenchman’s Bay harbour entrance was identified as a
priority project in the City of Pickering’s 5 Year
Implementation Plan for the Pickering Waterfront and
Frenchman’s Bay.
The Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA) on behalf
of the City of Pickering has completed the
Environmental Study Report (ESR) and by this Notice
it is being placed in the public record for review.
The ESR recommends enclosure of the east log crib in
steel sheet pile lined with sloped rip-rap and
armour stone as well as construction of a new
western armour stone breakwater located further west
to facilitate an entrance channel 30 m wide at the
navigation depth of 3.2 m below datum. Formal
pedestrian access will consist of concrete walkways
on both the east and west breakwaters, which will
tie into existing trails and the City’s long-term
waterfront trail plans.
This project was planned under Schedule C of the
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, October
2000, as amended in 2007.
The ESR is available for review on the City of
Pickering’s and TRCA’s websites:
www.cityofpickering.com and www.trca.on.ca and at
