Overview The Region of Peel has identified the need to provide a new municipal well to service the Village

of Inglewood within the Town of Caledon and allow for the abandonment of Well #2.

Project Objective Investigate alternative solutions and methods to provide a new municipal well for the Village of

Inglewood to replace an existing municipal well (Well #2). Through this project, the Region has

the opportunity to improve system reliability and security of supply for the Village of Inglewood.

Groundwater Exploration Program: Focus of the groundwater exploration program was to examine the buried bedrock valley aquifer complex in the vicinity of the Village of Inglewood and to establish two (2) high yielding deep test wells. A total of nine (9) potentially viable test well sites were identified and prioritized for drilling. A total of five (5) test holes were drilled until two (2) viable test holes were located:

Three (3) test holes (Sites B, C & H) failed to identify sufficient coarse grained overburden deposits to warrant the construction of test wells.

Two (2) test holes (Sites K & N) were successful in encountering sufficient coarse grained overburden (deep aquifer) deposits that warranted the construction of test

Recommendations Proceed with Option D1 “Construct New Well Supply as the preferred alternative involving:

A new production well (IW4) with a rated capacity of 900 L/min. 400m north of existing

Inglewood Well #3, west of Highway 10

Groundwater from Well #4 will be pumped directly to the Inglewood Well #3 facility for

treatment

Modifications to the existing Inglewood Well #3 treatment facility will be required (i.e.,

additional filter), which may require an increase in the existing building footprint (i.e.,

addition) within the existing property limits

A watermain will be constructed adjacent (parallel) with Highway 10 (Final alignment

CVC/MTO to be confirmed during detailed design)

Next Steps 1. PIC Comments to be Received by March 17, 2016

2. Confirm the Preferred Alternative

3. Prepare Class EA Project File (Spring 2016)

4. Issue Notice of Completion and 30-Day Review Period (Spring 2016)

5. Proceed to Design and Construction of Preferred Alternative, If no objections are

expressed (Spring/Summer 2016)

Problem and Opportunity Statements

Problem Statement

The Region of Peel has identified the need to provide a new municipal well

to service the Village of Inglewood within the Town of Caledon and allow for

the abandonment of Well #2.

Project Objective

Investigate alternative solutions and methods to provide a new municipal well

for the Village of Inglewood to replace an existing municipal well (Well #2).

Through this project, the Region has the opportunity to improve system

reliability and security of supply for the Village of Inglewood.

Class EA Process Overview & Study Area

This project is being conducted as a Schedule B Municipal Class EA.

Project

Background Information

The Village of Inglewood is serviced by two existing municipal groundwater

production wells (Inglewood Well #2, Inglewood Well #3) each rated at 1,295

m3/day.

Well #2 was constructed in 1978 and is a shallow well (9.4m Deep) that is

considered to be groundwater under the direct influence of surface water (GUDI).

It is located adjacent to the Credit River.

Well #3 was constructed in 1995 and is a deep well (54.7m deep) that is

considered to be groundwater (Non-GUDI). It is located on Highway 10 adjacent

to Ken Whillans Resource Management Area.

Due to a variety of concerns/issues associated with the potential long-term

viability of Well #2 including Source Water Protection requirements, Well #2

has been identified for replacement/abandonment.

Long List of Alternatives

Alternative Description

Alternative A - “Do Nothing” Continue with existing operations (“Baseline” alternative with Well #2 in service).

Alternative B - “System Capacity Reduction”

Abandon Well #2 without constructing a new municipal well.

Alternative C - “Implement Water Conservation Measures”

Reduce system demands and water supply (well capacity) requirements through water use conservation.


Construct a new municipal well with sufficient capacity to replace existing Well #2.

Alternative E - “Extend Lake-based Water Supply”

Construct a new transmission main from the existing lake-based water supply to Inglewood.

Alternative F – “Increase Capacity of Existing Well”

Increase Capacity of Well #3 without constructing a new municipal well.

Groundwater Exploration Program

Focus of the groundwater exploration program was to examine the buried

bedrock valley aquifer complex in the vicinity of the Village of Inglewood and

to establish two (2) high yielding deep test wells.

A total of nine (9) potentially viable test well sites were identified and

prioritized for drilling. A total of five (5) test holes were drilled until two (2)

viable test holes were located:

Three (3) test holes (Sites B, C & H) failed to identify sufficient coarse grained

overburden deposits to warrant the construction of test wells.

Two (2) test holes (Sites K & N) were successful in encountering sufficient coarse

grained overburden (deep aquifer) deposits that warranted the construction of

test wells.

Preferred Alternative (Preliminary)

New Groundwater Production Well (Well #4) at Site N

Located approximately 400m north of existing Inglewood Well #3, west of

Highway 10

Provides a minimum of 1,295 m3/d (900 L/min) of sustainable water

supply capacity

Groundwater from Well #4 will be pumped directly to the Inglewood Well

#3 facility for treatment

Modifications to the existing Inglewood Well #3 treatment facility will be

required (i.e., additional filter), which may require an increase in the existing

building footprint (i.e., addition) within the existing property limits

A watermain will be constructed adjacent (parallel) with Highway 10

(Final alignment CVC/MTO to be confirmed during detailed design)

Testing indicates that both existing Well #3 and proposed Well #4 can be

operated simultaneously
