رسم الخرائط والدراسات

يوفر رسم الخرائط عبر الإنترنت معلومات حول مستجمعات المياه الخاصة بنا ، بما في ذلك حدائق هالتون للحفظ وغيرها من الممتلكات ، بما في ذلك نياجرا إسكاربمنت والحزام الأخضر ، بالإضافة إلى رسم خرائط حدود التنظيم التقريبية.

على مدى السنوات القليلة الماضية ، شرعت Conservation Halton في مراجعة وتحديث رئيسيين لخرائطنا التنظيمية (على سبيل المثال ، رسم خرائط مخاطر الفيضانات ، ورسم خرائط الأراضي الرطبة ، ورسم خرائط المجاري المائية ، وما إلى ذلك). تساعدنا تحديثات الدراسات التقنية والنمذجة، باستخدام أدوات وتكنولوجيات جديدة، على فهم طبيعة ومدى المخاطر الحالية و/أو الأراضي الرطبة بشكل أفضل. رسم الخرائط هو عملية ديناميكية. ومع تقدم استعراضات الخرائط وتحديثاتها، سيكون من الضروري إدخال تحسينات على رسم خرائط الحد التقريبي للتنظيم، حيث يمكن تحديد أو إزالة مناطق إضافية خطرة أو خاضعة للتنظيم.

Conservation Halton developed a protocol to establish at what point in the mapping update process will the draft data or mapping be considered “best available information” for understanding the extent of the hazard, assessing potential risk to life and property, identifying potential interference to a wetland, identifying areas requiring further analysis, making decisions when development is contemplated in hazardous or regulated areas and administering Ontario Regulation 162/06. The Mapping Implementation Protocol establishes the key stages in the mapping update and study process, what data will be used at each stage of the process, how the data will be presented in online mapping, when the data can be used for administering Ontario Regulation 162/06, and when public and stakeholder engagement will occur.

The Conservation Halton Board of Directors endorsed the Mapping Implementation Protocol Report for use on نوفمبر 26, 2021.

برنامج رسم خرائط السهول الفيضية مسؤول عن تحديث وصيانة خرائط السهول الفيضية لمستجمعات المياه ، والتي تحدد مخاطر الفيضانات ومخاطرها. تستخدم هذه المعلومات لتطوير خرائط تقريبية للحد من اللوائح لأغراض المراجعة المرتبطة بلائحة أونتاريو 162/06 ، وكذلك تستخدم لدعم قرارات إدارة مخاطر الفيضانات والاتصالات

تتمثل الخطوة الأولى للحد من تأثير أضرار الفيضانات داخل المجتمع في الحصول على خرائط تساعدنا على تحديد مخاطر الفيضانات بدقة. تعمل شركة Conservation Halton مع شركائنا للحد من مخاطر الفيضانات في مجتمعاتنا من خلال تحديث خرائط السهول الفيضية الخاصة بنا ، والتي يزيد عمر بعضها عن 20 عاما. تساعدنا تحديثات الدراسات التقنية والنمذجة، باستخدام أدوات وتقنيات جديدة، على فهم مدى مخاطر الفيضانات بشكل أفضل. ومع تقدم استعراضات الخرائط وتحديثاتها، سيكون من الضروري إدخال تحسينات على رسم خرائط حدود التنظيم التقريبية، حيث يمكن تحديد مناطق خطرة أو خاضعة للتنظيم إضافية وإزالة بعضها.

دراسات الخرائط الحديثة:

Wetlands are the most biologically diverse kind of ecosystem, as they support both aquatic and terrestrial plant and wildlife species. These ecosystems provide a range of benefits, such as flood management, water quality improvement, groundwater replenishment and climate resilience, as well as recreation and economic opportunities, such as for timber, hunting and fishing.

Conservation Halton uses wetland mapping to identify potential wetlands and to determine if a property may be regulated by Conservation Halton. Conservation Halton regulates all watercourses, valleylands, wetlands, Lake Ontario and Burlington Bay shoreline, and hazardous lands, as well as lands adjacent to these features. Up-to-date mapping supports the delivery of our regulatory and planning programs and helps ensure wetlands are protected.

A report on Conservation Halton’s Wetland Mapping Review and Update project was brought to the Conservation Halton Board of Directors on يونيو 23, 2022. The associated public engagement period began يوليو 13, 2022, continuing until the end of 2022. CH staff held engagement sessions, undertook site visits to confirm and delineate wetlands on individual properties, and had numerous discussions with individuals and stakeholders.

Staff was on track to bring the mapping to the CH Board for approval in Q1 of 2023; however, in late Fall 2023, the Province introduced Bill 23, as well as a number of other proposals that could impact how Conservation Authorities regulate and map wetlands in the future (e.g., proposed changes regulations under Section 28 of the CA Act; changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System, etc.). As such, Conservation Halton’s Wetland Mapping Review and Update project is on hold. Staff updated the Board on the status of the project on فبراير 16, 2023.

The following next steps will be taken for this project:

      • Staff continue to review and make edits to the mapping, where necessary.
      • Where requested, staff will complete site visits to ground truth the mapping.
      • Final draft mapping will be taken to the Board of Directors for approval once the Province releases new Section 28 regulations and/or wetland mapping guidance for Conservation Authorities.

Note: Conservation Halton staff will review and update the mapping on a site-by-site basis, where necessary, and after the mapping is approved by the Board of Directors.

Flood Hazard Mapping Updates – Lower Rambo and Lower Hager Creeks

Updates to technical studies and new flood hazard modelling can help us better understand the nature and extent of existing flood hazards. These updates can also result in changes to hazard and conservation authority regulation mapping.

The City of Burlington recently completed a Phase 2 Flood Hazard and Scoped Stormwater Management Assessment for downtown Burlington and the Burlington GO Major Transit Station Area (MTSA). The Phase 2 study is considered the best available information for decision-making when development is contemplated in hazard lands.

Conservation Halton’s (CH) approximate regulation limit mapping will be updated to reflect the Phase 2 study findings in Fall 2023.

Under Ontario Regulation 162/06, CH regulates all watercourses, valleylands, wetlands, Lake Ontario and Burlington Bay shoreline and hazardous lands, as well as lands adjacent to these features.  Permission is required from CH to undertake development within these areas.

Conservation Halton (CH) is updating flood hazard mapping for Tuck, Shoreacres, Appleby, and Sheldon Creeks in your community.

Flood hazard mapping is an important tool that supports CH’s regulatory, planning and flood forecasting and warning programs, as well as municipal emergency management, flood mitigation, and infrastructure design.  Advances in technology allow us to understand flood risks and develop better flood hazard mapping.

Flood hazards include floodplains and spills.  A floodplain is an area of land that is flooded with water by a nearby creek or lake during large storms. Spills occur when flood waters leave the valley and floodplain and “spill” into surrounding lands, rejoining the watercourse at a distance downstream or moving into another watershed.

One of CH’s top priorities is to protect life and property from natural hazards and updating hazard mapping is one of the ways we do that.

In 2021, CH retained the engineering consulting firm WSP, to update the flood hazard modelling and mapping for Tuck, Shoreacres, Appleby and Sheldon Creeks which cross through parts of east Burlington and southwest Oakville (referred to as ‘East Burlington Creeks Flood Hazard Mapping Study’).  Updated mapping and modelling provides CH, municipalities, the public, and stakeholders with a current understanding of the magnitude and extent of riverine flood hazards in this area.   The study also provides background information and technical details about how the riverine flood hazard modelling and mapping was updated.

In أكتوبر 2021, CH hosted a public engagement session to provide notification of study commencement and provide an opportunity for property owners, residents, and other stakeholders to ask questions and share feedback.

Public Engagement Session #2

A virtual public engagement session was held on يونيو 6, 2023 at 7:00pm.  This was an opportunity for those looking for further information to learn more and ask questions.   A copy of the public engagement session presentation can be viewed here and the slides can be found here.

A copy of the draft mapping and reports can be found in the links below.  Draft mapping and reports will be available online for comment until يوليو 6, 2023.

CH will review all feedback and make any necessary revisions to the draft flood hazard mapping.  It is anticipated that the final draft mapping and study will be presented to CH’s Board of Directors for their approval and inclusion in CH’s Approximate Regulation Limit (ARL) mapping later this year.

Should you have any questions about the study or upcoming Public Engagement Session #2, please contact us via email at floodplainmapping@hrca.on.ca or call (905) 336-1158 ext. 2296.

Information will be collected in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record.

Conservation Halton has retained consulting and engineering company, Greck and Associates, to update flood hazard mapping and modelling for the West Branch of Sixteen Mile Creek in the Town of Milton. Advances in technology allows us to better understand flood hazards and to develop more accurate floodplain mapping. One of Conservation Halton’s top priorities is to protect life and property from natural hazards and updating flood hazard mapping is one of the ways we do that. An important part of the process of updating flood hazard mapping is to inform and engage with residents and other stakeholders in the study area.

Flood hazard mapping is used by Conservation Halton and municipal partners to identify areas that may be susceptible to riverine or shoreline flooding, and to inform flood forecasting, emergency response, community planning, infrastructure upgrades and other flood prevention efforts. Flood hazards include floodplains and spills.  A floodplain is an area of land that is flooded by a nearby creek or lake during large storms. Spills occur when flood waters leave the valley and floodplain and “spill” into surrounding lands, rejoining the watercourse at a distance downstream or moving into another watershed.

As part of this study, Conservation Halton hosted three public engagement sessions. The first engagement session occurred in أكتوبر 2019 to announce the study. A second engagement session in مارس 2020 presented high-level draft results. The final engagement session in فبراير 2023 shared the detailed draft final mapping. Presentation material from the final public engagement session is available here: Urban Milton Flood Hazard Mapping—Final Consultation.
