    Humber Bay Shores Stormwater Management Pond


    Inspection and Testing
    Expected Start Date: March 28, 2016 (Pending Weather)
    Expected Duration: 5 Days
    The City of Toronto manages and maintains 85 stormwater management ponds across Toronto.
    These ponds are specifically constructed to help manage and treat stormwater runoff caused by rain
    and melted snow. In large cities like Toronto where there is a lot of pavement, stormwater ponds
    collect runoff from roads and sidewalks. The sediment contained in the runoff settles at the bottom of
    the pond and cleaner water is eventually released improving lake water quality.
    A condition assessment was completed on the Humber Bay Shores Stormwater Management Pond
    (located in the Humber Bay Park on Lake Ontario) and further inspection and testing is required to
    ensure the pond is functioning as designed.
    WORK DETAILS
    The inspection includes:

    Divers: To complete an underwater inspection of the facility.


    Dye testing: Placing red fluorescent dye into a maintenance hole near the stormwater
    management pond and observing and recording the path of the dye through the pond to
    ensure the water is flowing and is not stagnant. The dye is used by municipalities throughout
    North America specifically for the purposes of tracking the flow of water. The dye is non-toxic
    and biodegradable.
    The City of Toronto has advised the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change that the
    inspection and testing is taking place.

    A map of the work area can be found on page 2 of this notice.


    WHAT TO EXPECT

    There will be two to four field staff and divers working as a team for several days. Staff will be
    wearing yellow/orange/green reflective vests and will have identification that indicates the
    consulting company that they represent.
    Residents may notice red dye in the stormwater management pond. This dye will help identify the
    flow of water in the pond and will dissipate during the test. Please do not be alarmed if you
    observe a red liquid in the pond during the testing period.
    Every effort will be made to reduce the impact to the public and your co-operation and patience is
    appreciated.
