Subject:
Wainfleet Water and Wastewater Servicing Class Environment Assessment Study:
Response to Questions/Comments
Dear Hoskin Family:

Thank you for your comments providing input into the Wainfleet Water and Sewer Servicing Class EA project. Your interest and comments are very much appreciated. The following provides responses to your specific questions as extracted from various pieces do correspondence received from you by the Township of Wainfleet and Regional Municipality of Niagara. My staff has prepared these responses after discussions with Regional staff and project consultants.

The first ten questions have been extracted from your June 7, 2005 e-mail and follow your numbering scheme. The remainder have been drawn from previous correspondence.

Q1. Will they have water shut off values so they may close the water off when they close the cottages up? Will they have to install the values in the cottages or will it be in the ground outside their property?
A1. With regard to your question on winter close-up, the Township would like to maintain the same situation as currently exists. To do this we proposed to install a shut off valve at each dwelling below the frost line, at a location identified by the homeowner. This will allow a property owner to drain the system, as is currently the practice.

Q2. Will they have to pay the City of Port Colborne to come shut the water off for the winter and pay again to have it turned on in the spring? If so how much? Will they be able to do this themselves? Most cottages are not insulated for winter and the water has to be shut off?
A2. First of all, it should be clarified that the proposed system would not be the responsibility of the City of Port Colborne. As is the case in all publicly-serviced municipalities in Niagara, responsibility would be shared between the Township and the Region. Niagara Region would be responsible for treating water and sewage at Regional plants located in Port Colborne, as well as the large sewage collection and water delivery pipes connecting to the new Wainfleet system. The Township would be responsible for local collection and distribution systems, not the City of Port Colborne. The Township has yet to determine how its local components will be operated and maintained.
As noted above, shutting off the water in private dwellings in the Lakeshore Water and Wastewater (W&WW) Service Area will continue to be the responsibility of the homeowner, as is currently the case. To prevent pipes from freezing in unheated cottages during the winter, it will be necessary for the property owner to drain all waterlines as is presently the common practice. Watermains/services installed external to the individual dwellings will be installed at sufficient depth, or insulated in shallow rock areas, to prevent freezing. As a result, there should be no costs to the homeowner related to municipal shut-off charges.

Q3. Some have looked into the home owner policies and asked their insurance people the same question? Some policy’s state: if there is municipal water you must have fire hydrants. No hydrants no policy. This is raising flags with them. This also pertains to full time homes also. Check what insurance company say, it is exactly what their policy states. It is a hidden clause. This has to get out to the public if this project happens.
A3. Regarding the availability of fire hydrants, we contacted four insurance companies that provide coverage in Wainfleet (i.e. TRG, The Cooperators, Allstate Insurance and State Farm) regarding potential implications on homeowners' policies. All of the agents verbally confirmed that installing a watermain without hydrants would not affect homeowners’ policies or insurance plans/rates. All four agencies confirmed that the lack of fire hydrants would not result in refusal to issue an insurance policy.

Q4. Some cottagers feel they should not have to pay full load for their part if this project goes through. I know delusional, but this is what they think. Or are they delusional? Will cottages get a break? Common sense tells me one thing but...........
A4. We understand that the main homeowner concern relates to the cost and affordability of the proposed water and sewer works. The Township/Region will set a flat rate and every Wainfleet homeowner receiving benefit from the proposed services will pay the same rate. The Township/Region will not differentiate between seasonal and permanent residences. Servicing solutions and costs were reviewed during the Value Analysis Exercise. Estimated costs to Wainfleet homeowners are as presented in the Environmental Study Report, Section 12.4, a copy of which is attached.
Final homeowner costs will depend on the amount of funding from other levels of government, particularly the Provincial and Federal governments. One promising funding source is the COMRIF program (i.e. the Canada Ontario Municipal-Rural Infrastructure Fund). Currently, the Township is preparing an application, with the assistance of the Region, to be submitted to the Province for consideration in September. COMRIF funding has the promise of significantly reducing project costs for benefiting Lakeshore Area residents.
In addition, the Township/Region is currently exploring additional ways of reducing costs and improving affordability for benefiting property owners. These options include phasing of services, design innovation and project delivery options, an extended repayment period, loan programs, and a grace period for properties with properly functioning private services. Township/Region is also taking steps to refine and minimize project costs, where appropriate. For example a geotechnical study is currently be underway to assess how costs related to rock extraction and dewatering can be minimized.

Q5. If this project goes through, they also feel they should only have to pay for water and sewer service, if they are only up here for the summer. Will they not have to pay a basic rate for the year? Logic tells me one thing, common sense to them says pay for only what we use. I understand where they are coming from.
A5. Water charges will likely involve both billing methods. Water and sewage user rates will be set by the Township. These will be based on the uniform rate charged to the municipality by the Region of Niagara for treatment. In addition, the Township intends to install water meters for every residence so that the charges can be accurately calculated.
As is done in other municipalities in the Region, the Township will likely adopt a base rate with additional charges based on metered water use. The Township will determine how and at what rate the charges will be applied after the project. In other words, a part of the bill will reflect the actual water used based on meters.

Q6. This is the one that really made me think... how many of us live in what was a cottage and are now full time homes. I know I do and a couple on PAC members do. Most of the traffic here on the Lakeshore for cottagers starts when the weather get nice (CDN long weekend in May) and slows right down by Sept long weekend. That is the busiest time down here. A good percentage of cottagers feel if they are going to sink this kind of money into their cottages they are going to turn them into fulltime homes. This will cause a population growth down here.
A6. We agree that the number of seasonal dwellings in our municipality makes Wainfleet somewhat unique. The conversion of summer cottages to full-time residences is permitted providing that Township zoning and Regional Public Health requirements can be satisfied. It is estimated that roughly 50% (or about 650) of the dwellings in Lakeshore Servicing Area were originally constructed as cottages. Of these, Township staff‘s best ball-park estimate is that about 20% (or about 130) of the seasonal dwellings have been converted to permanent homes over 50 or more years.
With regard to your comment on population change in the Wainfleet Lakeshore area, we are also concerned that the unique character of our community is protected. To do so, we are in the first steps of undertaking a Secondary Planning process for the Lakeshore community. For additional information, please refer to the answer provided on page 13 of this letter.

Q7. We have more than a few cottages owned by single owners or co-ops on a single piece of property. They have asked this question and it’s a valid one. If I have 10 cottages on my property how many hook up fees do I have to pay? So how many will they have to pay for? Will it be pro-rated? Will I be able to get a government grant for this?
A7. For a complete answer to this question, please refer to attached ESR Section 12.4, as attached, for information on charges for multiple cottages on one lot. These proposed charges were determined to reflect fairness in charging people, where more that one service is involved.

Q8. If I own an empty lot that is on a separate deed, beside where I live, will there be an extra cost to bring this pipe past the empty lot and to our home / cottage?
A8. Yes. All individual lots will be subject to servicing and hook up charges as established by the Township/Region.
Assessments against property for sewer and water servicing are made up of two parts: a flat rate charge and a connection charge. All benefiting properties will be subject to a flat rate charge. However, owners of vacant lots who elect to not have a service connection installed will not have to pay a connection charge. In such cases, connection charges would be assessed at a later date, when an owner applies for a building permit for a vacant lot. However, the cost for installing such services at a later date will likely be higher. In any case, a property owner would be required to pay a flat rate servicing charge, whether a lot is vacant or not.

Q9. How is it only the homes that are 200 metres from lakeshore are in this plan? If we are so worried about water contamination. Poor drinking water and leaching into the lake are not the homes that are past the 200 meters also not in danger also???????
A9. Our focus is on the public health risks and environmental contamination associated with dwellings along the Lakeshore. Technical information collected by the Township/Region regarding the extent and concentration of groundwater pollution and well water contaminated by bacteria was used to define the Servicing Area. Data collected from well water tests undertaken in 2002 and 2005 confirmed that groundwater contamination was concentrated in settlements along the lakeshore.
The decision to limit services to an area approximately 200 meters north of Lakeshore Road was made in response to the Regional Policy Plan. The Policy Plan does not permit the extension of municipal sewers and water supply mains outside designated urban areas, except to correct an existing health problem. The Township is outside the Regional urban boundary. However, the Medical Officer of Health has recognized that a substantive health risk is posed by contaminated wells and malfunctioning septic systems. Therefore, the service area has been drawn to comply with the Regional Policy Plan’s servicing policy.

Q10. Have any decisions been made where they are going to put these 7-9 pump houses? Whose property will be expropriated for this? Will it be my cottage?
A10. Your cottage will not be affected by land requirements for pumping stations. It is proposed that pumping stations will be constructed within the existing publicly-owned roadway, as underground structures. Property will be required for the main pump station located at the unimproved right of way at the intersection of Bessey and Lakeshore Roads. Please refer to Section 8.1.4 of the ESR, as attached, for pump station siting information. The Township/Region does not intend to acquire property at 12154 Gallenger Road for pumping station purposes.

Q. This brings up another question, if the people of Port Colborne are paying for water and sewers and we are using basically their water and sewage plant, will we be paying Port Colborne the same rate as they charge their citizens?
A. Improvements in those parts of the proposed Wainfleet water and sewer system located in Port Colborne fall under the jurisdiction of the Region of Niagara, not the City of Port Colborne. Because Niagara Region is responsible for operation, maintenance and upgrades to the system, all users will pay the same Regional rate. However, as is currently the case, local municipal rates will vary across municipalities. The Township will determine what costs will apply in Wainfleet over and above the Regional uniform rate for treatment. This would be totally separate from Port Colborne and the City’s water and sewer rates.

Q. My first question is: Can the Township of Wainfleet afford to help finance the 25.4 million until the 1,400 residents pay this part of the bill off, we have been given 20 years to pay for this part?
A. The Township believes the cost of these services to be unaffordable without external assistance. The Township will look to Niagara Region to assist in securing attractive cost financing terms for the proposed work. In addition, we will apply for the federal and provincial governments to provide funding under COMRIF.
The Township/Region will also consider a variety of methods of enhancing the affordability of this servicing solution in order to reduce costs to residents. One such consideration will be for the Region to assist the Township in providing for amortization of project costs for a period of 20 years.

Q. Do you think they should have gone to all the governments before you brought this to the people?
A. We must make sure that we don’t put the cart before the horse. The necessary first step in the process is to secure approval under the Environmental Assessment Act. This requires the Township/Region to develop the required EA documentation, and then present it to the Ministry of the Environment for approval.
The Township/Region is completing this step and, in parallel, is seeking funding assistance from both the Federal and Provincial government under the COMRIF program. If successful, this will assist in reducing costs to benefiting property owners. In this way, the Township/Region is receiving feedback from various levels of government concurrently.

Q. Will the 9 pumping stations that we need for this 22 kilometer of line, will they be directly hooked up to the electricity so that when we have a power failure (we are known here for power failures and we live with it) the sewage does not back up in other people property like it has in Fonthill, Fenwick and just recently in Welland as this will be a gravity type system?
A. Yes, we agree that steps must be taken to deal with such possible black-out situations. As a result, all pumping stations will be provided with emergency reserve power for use in normal power failure situations, thereby eliminating the risk if sewer back-up.

Q. There have been new homes built in the last couple of years who have shelled out 40 thousand dollars to meet the requirements of the regional health department only to be told that they will have to hook up to the system. Is this fair to them?
A. We agree that Wainfleet property owners have a right to know what the rules of the game are, so they can make their own informed decisions. The Township/Region have taken steps to make area residents aware of what is happening in the Lakeshore area regarding public health issues and related servicing. Area residents were advised of the Township/Region’s decision to proceed with the Environmental Assessment by way of a public notice issued in August 2003 and at subsequent meetings. The Township of Wainfleet’s approach has been to advise all property owners making a building permit application in the Lakeshore Servicing Area of the potential for possible extension of municipal services. Public Health Department policy is that all persons making an application for a Certificate of Approval for a septic system in the Lakeshore Servicing Area are to be notified of the potential for the extension of municipal services. It is then the applicant’s decision to proceed with private servicing or wait until municipal services are installed.

Q. Would it be too hard for the regional health department to do their jobs and just come in and condemn those septic systems that are problem?
A. Unfortunately, the solution is more complicated than that. It should be recognized that failing septic systems are not just those systems that break-out or pond on the surface. Septic systems are also faulty if they do not properly treat the effluent they discharge and thus contaminate groundwater. This could result from lack of overburden, proximity to fractured bedrock, etc.
These systems are not easily identified by a visual inspection. Furthermore, many lots are significantly undersized and cannot accommodate an effective private sewage system. Consequently, enforcement strategies applied at an individual level are not the answer to what is, in fact, a community problem.
Where the Public Health Department identifies or becomes aware of a faulty septic tank system, the most appropriate corrective action is identified and the property owner is required to make the necessary improvements. Where necessary, further legal action is taken if voluntary compliance is not forthcoming. However, due to the many limitations characteristic of the lakeshore area (e.g. small lots, high densities, lack of overburden, etc.) the identified solution often involves an improvement, without necessarily bringing the system in line with today’s Ontario Building Code requirements.

Q. Does the township of Wainfleet not think they should put a building freeze on until this matter is decided to prevent anymore of this happening?
A. Yes, this step has already been taken. In connection with a Secondary Planning exercise planned for this summer and fall, the Township passed an Interim Control By-law. This essentially defers approval of any new development within the Lakeshore Water and Wastewater Servicing Area.

Q. There was even land sold last week here so people could build new homes and someone forgot to tell them about this proposal. The township knew that there has been a problem from a study that was done in 1962 and they let this problem grow and did nothing about it then.
A. the Township/Region is acting responsibly to address serious water contamination concerns identified in the Lakeshore area. The decision to proceed with an Environmental Assessment came following studies which identified the extent of public health risks and environmental issues related to the Lakeshore area. Area residents were advised of the decision to proceed with the EA by way of a public notice issued in August 2003.
The question is a matter of timing. The decision to install new septic systems is at the discretion of individual property owners. Township/Regional staffs have advised inquiring property owners of the status of the EA process and the intention to provide full municipal services in the near future. This information would also have been available for any recent property transactions.

Q. Will someone out there listen to us as we are screaming for some reasonable answers to a big issue here? A. We hope that this letter will provide you with some clear and reasonable answers to your questions. Unfortunately, it has taken time to gather sufficient information to answer these and other enquiries appropriately.
In accordance with the requirements of the provincial Environmental Assessment Act, public consultation has been a significant element in the EA process that has been followed by the Township/Region. Public input by way of comments received at three Public Information Centres, written correspondence, emails, telephone calls and requests directed through the Public Advisory Committee have been encouraged throughout the process. We are responding to all comments and the hundreds of questions submitted, such as yours. The comments and responses will also be included with the documents which will be submitted to the Ministry of the Environment as part of the Class Environmental Assessment submission. In accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act, this is the most appropriate way of responding to questions from the community.

Q. The town lawyer says there are even cheaper systems that can go in that would cost in the 15 – 20 million dollar range will some please listen to what he has to say.
A. The provincial Environmental Assessment process being followed by the Township/Region is not intended to identify the cheapest solution to Wainfleet’s public health and environmental problems. The provincial Environmental Assessment Act requires that alternatives be considered in terms of public health and safety, natural environmental, social/cultural and technical criteria, as well as economic/financial considerations. The Township/Region has assessed all reasonable servicing alternatives and input provided by the public in the Environmental Assessment process, including the Waterloo BioFilter and many other alternatives. A broad range of alternatives were also reviewed by technical experts at the February 2005 Value Analysis Exercise (VAE), the result of which was the endorsement of the Consultant’s recommended preferred water and wastewater servicing solution.
In the context of the above criteria, the Township/Region believes that the preferred solution, involving a water and wastewater connections to Port Colborne and local collection and distribution systems, is the most appropriate long-term solution to address public health risks and environmental contamination issues in the Wainfleet Lakeshore community.

Q. Have the alternatives that were mentioned in the Valuation Exercise report ever been looked at, the ones that said they should looked into further? When can we expect a report on those?
A. Yes. The Township/Region’s consultant, Earth Tech, reviewed the Value Analysis Exercise findings and conclusions in detail and considered the VAE results in finalizing the Environmental Study Report (ESR). Please refer to ESR document, Section 7 (Water) & 8 (Wastewater), as attached.
However, a number of Value Analysis Exercise (VAE) recommendations (e.g. pipe insulation, use of a rock trencher, chemical injection for odour control, pre-fabricated pumping station components, etc.) will need to be considered once detailed engineering design and project construction take place.

Q. How much are our property taxes going to go up, just the assessment part? Wainfleet already has the one of the higher tax base now. Then add the hook-up fee, I will have to pay the retrofit for my home in one year of hook up. More than likely that will be a loan or second mortgage payment.
A. We realize that many residents are concerned about high taxes and what services they get in return. Taxes paid by Wainfleet property owners represent the current level of services, but do not include municipal water and sewer services, which are obviously not available. Where municipal water and sewer services benefit a property, owners will pay for those services separately from taxes.
Property taxes are not considered under the provincial Environmental Assessment Act, under which this project is being undertaken. Taxes are based on assessed property value which is the responsibility of the provincial Ministry of Revenue.
Typically, if a property value increases, there is a good chance that respective taxes would also proportionally increase at some point after the new property value is recorded by the Ministry. This usually occurs as a result of various building improvements that affect property value, or a re-assessment based on recent sales in the neighbourhood. This result is to be expected with regard to the provision of municipal services.
Specific questions related to your property should be directed to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) located at One St. Paul Street in St. Catharines (905-688-0233).

Q. Then the wonderful water and sewer bill every month. I am deathly afraid of what the cost overruns will be if this project goes through. We have already been told we will be accountable for those. If you agree to a certain price, I know that will not hold a grain of salt to what the true price will be. Camden and St. David prices went up after the fact. I have never heard of one government project where there were not cost over runs or for that matter it was under the projected cost. Can any guess what they may be? I don't believe for one minute that there will not be cost overrides.
A. Nailing down project costs is an important matter that the Township/Region is currently addressing. During the Value Analysis Exercise, held in February 2005, construction cost estimates prepared by the Township/Region’s consultants, Earth Tech, were thoroughly reviewed by independent construction cost experts. After careful examination, these costs were refined. (Details are presented in Section 12.4 of the Environmental Study Report, as attached). Before a project is fully designed and tendered for construction, cost estimates will be developed based on the best available data.
Currently the Township/Region is taking steps to refine and minimize project costs, where appropriate. For example, a geotechnical study will currently be underway to assess how cost estimates related to rock extraction and dewatering can be minimized. Should the project proceed to the design, tendering and construction phases, cost estimates would continue to be refined based on further detailed technical design and construction drawings.
The Township/Region will continually assess and refine construction cost as additional information becomes available through the design, tender and construction process. Significant cost increases would be noted and the impact on the feasibility of the project considered.
Lastly, the competitive process of awarding a construction tender to a contractor usually requires review by the Council of the municipality. In this case, approval by the Township of Wainfleet and Region of Niagara Councils would be required. The political process will allow further public input to ensure that actual tender costs do not vary significantly from the construction cost estimates.

Q. We are setting the precedent for every home/cottage around all the Great Lakes in Ontario. Every lakeshore resident in Ontario is going to be affected by this as everyone must have leaching into the lake, not just us. If we even think of agreeing to pay such a high price for hook-up, we are setting the standard for every cottage and home around the lake in Ontario.
A. The Township/Region agrees with you that the task of improving water quality in the Great Lakes is a formidable one. We should each do our part to make a positive contribution to improved water quality, wherever possible. However, closer to home, the Township/Region believes that it is our joint responsibility to address public health and environmental issues associated with malfunctioning septic systems in Wainfleet, where appropriate.
The proposed water and wastewater solution and arrangements for cost sharing between the Province, Region, Township is unique to the Wainfleet situation, and may or may not be appropriate in other communities bordering Ontario’s Great Lakes. The Township/Region believes that similar problems in other jurisdictions will be addressed appropriately by the respective municipalities, agencies and governments based on their unique local circumstances.

Q. I still feel. The solution to this problem is making every home and cottage owner responsible for their own sewage problem. If it is broke make them fix it. Bring it up to code. Have the health department done their job and do it properly.
A. It is assumed this question means that only those septic systems which are not being operated correctly, or are not in compliance, are causing the problem for everyone else. This is definitely not the case. Enforcement is part of the answer, but it does not address the big picture. The 2005 “On-site Septic System Sustainability Report” prepared by AMEC Environmental for the Wainfleet Class Environmental Assessment concluded that most of the systems in the Lakeshore Study area are failing or operating improperly. It is not just a few failing systems that are causing the public health and environmental problem.
The 2005 AMEC report confirms that small lot sizes, high density and unsuitable soil characteristics of most properties within the Servicing Area has resulted in groundwater impacts, regardless of whether or not septic systems have been appropriately installed or are operated correctly. The groundwater contamination problem is very widespread. Most properties are out of compliance with current regulations, and many of those in compliance are contributing to groundwater and lake pollution. The scale of the contamination problem requires a community-wide solution.

Q. Just where does the contamination start...highway 3, past highway 3, the village? I know it makes sense to have some sort of cut off point for this project but just where does the contamination start? There has/had to be some sort of study done to see where exactly this contamination starts. This is what I would personally like to know. Were not some homes outside the 200 meters mark not also tested? What were the water testing results from the 2nd test in regards to the homes outside the 200 meter boundary?
A. We have attached a map to assist you in understanding the limits of the Water and Wastewater Servicing Area. The results of water well and septic system surveys carried out in 2001, 2003 and 2005 confirmed that the concentration of malfunctioning and aging septic systems and contaminated well water is in the vicinity of Lakeshore Road. Additional testing was undertaken outside of the Wainfleet W & WW Servicing Area with no adverse water quality results being reported. A summary of the 2005 water well testing program is attached for your information.

Q. Can they not sue because Wainfleet did not supply them with good water? Suing seems to what has everyone scared off, the town council, Dr. Robbins, the region. Were they not all given numbers by the lawyers what they could be responsible for if something happened?
A. The Township does not currently provide municipal water and sewer services and, therefore, would not be subject to the type of legal action suggested here.

Q. The other comment is I will rent the place out for the 10 months. How many cottages get converted every year to full time homes now? How and can this be controlled? If we have municipal water and sewer this is going to happen we are asking for growth no matter how you put it. I can see it happening now without sewer and water. Are there any stats on this? Anything to compare this to?
A. Based on Township estimates, on average, two seasonal dwellings have been converted to permanent homes annually over the past 20 years. The Township is currently preparing related data, which will soon be sent to you.
Currently, the Township is taking steps to initiate a process to control growth through the preparation of a Secondary Plan. A Secondary Plan is a community-based, land use planning exercise that directs future development and redevelopment in part of a municipality. A Secondary Plan is implemented under the Ontario Planning Act and represents Council’s intention regarding the ultimate design and development of the community. In the case of the Secondary Plan proposed for the Lakeshore area, technical issues regarding servicing, roads, drainage, and lot patterns will be addressed. Input from affected property owners and residents of the area will be broadly solicited.
As part of the Secondary Plan exercise, the Township recently passed an Interim Control By-law for the Lakeshore Area. The Interim Control By-law has the effect of deferring approval of new development in the Lakeshore Area., thereby ensuring that such development would conform to the policies of the approved Secondary Plan. The Secondary Plan for the Lakeshore Area will provide an opportunity for local residents to participate in the long-term growth of their neighbourhood.

Q. They have read in the paper if you have camping on your property you may qualify for a grant tourist area. Will they get the same treatment?
A. Neither Wainfleet nor the Region provides any grants for tourist area camping facilities. We are unaware of such tourist area grants for camping facilities at the provincial or federal levels of government.
The Township/Region will set a flat rate for municipal water and wastewater services provided to lands located in the Water and Wastewater Servicing Area. All benefiting property owners will be required pay the same servicing charge. After connections are made, water costs will be based on the metered use of each consumer.

I hope that we have satisfactorily interpreted and answered the Hoskin Family’s questions. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or my staff at the numbers listed below.
