This information shall be confirmed with the Town prior to the start of design of the internal servicing of the site. C 2.00 Storm Drainage Area Plans The Storm Drainage Area Plan shall include all information as per Section A 3.05. The external drainage area plan shall be prepared and shall be submitted to the Town at the functional report stage and prior to the commencement of the detailed storm sewer design. In the case of large areas under single ownership and/or blocks requiring future site plan agreements, the design shall be prepared on the basis of the whole area being contributory to one manhole in the abutting storm sewer. If more than one private storm connection is necessary to service the property, the appropriate area tributary to each connection shall be clearly shown and taken into account in the storm sewer design. C 3.00 Storm Sewer Design C 3.01 Design Flows The design flow, in each manhole length of sewer, shall be computed on design sheets according to the “rational” formula Q = 0.002778 AiC, where A = contributing drainage area in hectares i = rainfall intensity mm/hr C = run-off co-efficient Q = volume of run-off in m3/sec C 3.02 Rainfall Intensity For normal residential development storm sewer pipe design, the rainfall intensity shall be determined from the 5-Year IDF Curve as per section C 4.05. The 25-Year Storm Curve, as per Section C 4.05 shall be used for all culvert, watercourse and major trunk sewer design, unless, a higher year storm duration curve is required by the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Long Point Region Conservation Authority or the Ministry of Transportation. C 3.03 Overland Flow Section C – Storm Sewers C-3 Operation Services The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg The overland flow for the major 100-year storm shall be accommodated in the road cross-section and/or in blocks of land dedicated to the Municipality as per Section F 5.00.

C 3.10 Pipe Crossings A minimum clearance of 0.15 m below and 0.50 m above shall be provided between the outside of all pipe barrels at all points of crossings. In cases where the storm sewer crosses a recent utility trench at an elevation higher than the elevation of the utility, a support system shall be designed to prevent settlements of the storm sewer, or alternatively the original trench will be re-excavated to the top of the utility and shall be backfilled with compacted 19mm clear stone or concrete fill to adequately support the storm sewer. When the storm sewer passed under an existing utility, adequate support shall be provided for the utility during and after construction to prevent damage to that utility. C 3.11 Head Losses Suitable drops shall be provided across all manholes to compensate for the loss of energy due to the change in flow velocity and for the difference in the depth of flow in the sewers. In order to reduce the amount of drop required, the designer shall, wherever possible, restrict the change in velocity between the inlet and outlet pipes to 0.6 m/sec. Hydraulic calculations shall be submitted for all junction and transition manholes on sewers where the outlet is 1050 mm in diameter or greater. In addition, hydraulic calculations may be required for manholes where the outlet pipe is less than 1050 mm if, in the opinion of the Town, there is insufficient invert drop provided across any manhole. The minimum drop across manholes shall be as follows: Change in Direction Minimum Drop (mm) Section C – Storm Sewers C-5 Operation Services The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg 0 25 10 to 450 50 460 to 900 75 NOTE: Where pipe sizes change across a manhole, it is preferred that upstream and downstream sewer obverts match, or to use the aforementioned minimum drops, whichever is greater [see C 6.03(c)]. C 3.12 Pipes Abutting Upstream Lands All pipes shall be sized to accept design flow from the ultimate, future tributary or from the interim pre-development condition, whichever is greater. C 4.00 Stormwater Management C 4.01 General The need for and extent of the Stormwater Management will be assessed on an individual project basis after consultation with the Town of Tillsonburg, MNR, MOE and the Long Point Region Conservation Authority. Generally, all design concepts shall follow the MOE’s “Stormwater Management Practices (SWMP) Planning and Design Manual”, June 1994 and revised 2003, subject to the above-mentioned regulatory agencies. C 4.02 Submission of a Conceptual Stormwater Management Report Required with Draft Plan of Approval A distinction shall be made between developments proceeding within a new planning area and those developments taking place within an infill area that is part of an already substantially completed neighbourhood. The distinction shall be made by the Town of Tillsonburg, in conjunction with other regulatory agencies, such as MOE, MNR and LPRCA. The stormwater management report for the first type of development shall implement the recommendations of the subwatershed master drainage plan for the larger planning area. The stormwater management report for the latter type of development shall implement the SWM targets established in Section C 4.02(b) of this guideline, complemented with any specific requirements by the above-mentioned regulatory agencies. The subwatershed master drainage plan and the stormwater management report shall be prepared by a qualified consultant capable of providing a multi-disciplinary approach to stormwater management approved by the Town of Tillsonburg and above-noted agencies. The report is to include the following: A) Subdivision development within a new planning area of District 1. Establishment of the subwatershed master drainage plan (MDP) findings, conclusions and recommendations on the best stormwater management Section C – Storm Sewers C-6 Operation Services The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg practices (SWMP) that are to be implemented within and adjacent to the development area. Stormwater management criteria and associated control targets are to be developed on a watershed and subwatershed basis. Therefore, the preparation of a subdivision stormwater management plan must be preceded by a subwatershed plan to identify the management criteria and the regional facilities that are to be implemented to protect and enhance the existing drainage features within the watershed, including all measures required to migrate impacts of development on the hydrology, water quality, existing water bodies, hydrogeology and creek base flow, fishery, creek hydraulic capacity, the erosion potential of the receiving water course and the terrestrial resources of the watershed. In essence, the subwatershed master drainage plan must reflect an ecosystems approach to land use planning which takes into account all of the above water resources and be structured to include: inventory, impact assessment, derivation of SWM targets for the subwatershed and establishment of the MDP. Input by the MNR, MOE, LPRCA and OMAF is to be obtained during the initiation and preparation of the plan. Environmental enhancement rather than mitigation should be the primary goal of the MDP. Cost estimates and cost sharing provisions based on land ownership, if applicable, are to be included in the report recommendations. 2. Preparation of a conceptual (or preliminary) stormwater management plan for the subdivision development which implements the best SWMP, recommended by the subwatershed plan. In the event the subwatershed plan recommendations indicate the need for a stormwater management facility within or as part of the subdivision plan, the report is to be accompanied by a plan showing the area and size of the stormwater management facility that is to be incorporated into the subdivision plan, based on detailed hydrologic modelling. The SWM block and it’s size is to be identified as an open space block on the draft plan of the subdivision. Slopes of pond embankments are to be a maximum 4(H):1(V) to ensure safety, maintenance and accessibility. Maximum water depth above any terrace to be 1.0m. The submission may need to be complemented by a list of the planting materials that will be used to improve the aesthetics of the facility and be based on the nature of the facility. Any soft SWMP’s, identified by the subwatershed plan for the subject development area, are also to be shown on a plan and detailed in the conceptual SWM plan. 3. Establishment of the major-minor drainage concept for the subdivision development and the adjacent lands. Storm water flows from the site must be released at a 5 year pre-development flow rate and the difference between the 100 year pre-development and 100 year post-development must be detained on-site. 4. Preparation of a plan, showing the erosion and sediment control measures that are to be implemented during and after construction, as well as the establishment of a maintenance schedule of these controls. The extent of these measures is to be in accordance with the MOE criteria for sediment Section C – Storm Sewers C-7 Operation Services The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg controls. The conceptual plan should be reviewed and approved by the Town of Tillsonburg prior to or at the time a submission is made for Draft Plan of Approval. B) Subdivision development within an infill area is not part of a Subwatershed Master Drainage Plan In the absence of a subwatershed master drainage plan, a stormwater management plan is to be prepared which is to address the means by which all post development flows will be controlled to pre-development levels. The submission is to include the water quality control measures that will be implemented for the first flush run-off volume generated by the proposed development. Prior to initiating the preparation of the conceptual stormwater management plan, the subdivider must consult with the Ministries of the Environment, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Food (if required), Long Point Region Conservation Authority and the Town of Tillsonburg on the stormwater management criteria that are to be implemented in the subdivision plan. Guidelines issued by these agencies are to be followed for the prepartion of the SWM plan. The required detail of the submission of the conceptual SWM report t o the Town of Tillsonburg is outlined in the above paragraphs A.2, A.3, A.4. The conceptual plan should be reviewed and approved by the above noted agencies prior to or at the time a submission is made for draft plan of subdivision approval. C 4.03 The preparation of the conceptual stormwater management plan will be considered as the basis for the submission of the final SWM report as part of the final engineering and servicing design for the subdivision development. C 4.04 Submission of the Final Stormwater Management Report The final and (if requested) conceptual stormwater management reports shall be submitted to the Town of Tillsonburg accompanied by:  Complete hand and/or computer simulation calculations in metric.  Acceptable computer models, subject to consultation with the above-mentioned regulatory agencies, are listed in “MTO Drainage Management Technical Guidelines”, Appendix C, Nov. 1989. NOTE: Previously successful reports have utilized the SCS method of run-off (CN2) for a 3-hour Chicago-type storm distribution. MIDUSS is an acceptable hydrologic simulation model.  In the event that a computer simulation model is used, modelling logic diagrams, area and parameter summaries, along with a copy of final output files, should be included in appendices. (Files on 3 1/2” disc would supplement but not replace Section C – Storm Sewers C-8 Operation Services The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg the hard paper copy.)  Final letters of approval and/or comments from MNR, MOEE, OMAF and LPRCA. C 4.05 Rainfall Intensity For stormwater management design and modelling, rainfall IDF curves shall be based on “MTO Drainage Management Technical Guidelines”, District #2 – East of London, Nov. 1989, as follows: i = a mm/hr (t + b)c Return A B C 2 568.522 4.326 0.770 5 785.255 4.631 0.776 10 918.044 4.618 0.777 25 1065.506 4.618 0.773 50 1205.613 4.631 0.778 100 1289.347 4.236 0.775 C 4.06 SCS Curve Numbers A modified SCS method of determining run-off is preferred with initial abstraction (IA) = 0.1 x potential storage (S).

All exposed threads shall be painted with asphaltum, or taped with Denso, after nuts are tightened. Cadmium plated components may be required. E 4.00 Water Main Testing E 4.01 Charging the Main Before tests are carried out, the main will be charged under the s upervision of the Town of Tillsonburg's Inspector or other assigned persons at the expense of the Contractor from a temporary connection. The temporary connection shall include an appropriate cross-connection control device consistent with the degree of hazard (a double check valve assembly or a reduced pressure zone assembly) and shall be disconnected (physically separated) from the new main during the hydrostatic pressure test. The cross-connection control device shall be certified for use by a qualified person on site. During the charging and inspection each valve will be checked and will be left fully open or closed as required. E 4.02 Pressure Testing When the installation and back-filling of the pipe and all services and fittings has been completed, the new installation or any valve section of the installation shall be tested under hydrostatic pressure of 1035 Kpa. (150 psi) for a time of 2 hours. Fire main testing shall be tested under hydrostatic pressure of 1380 Kpa (200psi) for 2 hours as per the National Fire Code. Each valve section of pipe shall be slowly filled and the specified test pressure, based on the elevation of the lowest point of the line or section under test and corrected to the elevation of the test gauge, shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. The pump and all connections and equipment shall be furnished by the Contractor at no expense to the Town of Tillsonburg. The Town of Tillsonburg will furnish the gauges for the test and the Contractor shall make all taps and shall furnish all assistance for conducting the tests. Before applying the specified pressure, all air shall be expelled from the pipe. If permanent air vents are not located at all high points, the Contractor shall install corporation cocks at such points so that the air can be expelled as the line is filled then replaced with a brass plug. Any defective materials or equipment discovered as a result of this test will be replaced with sound material until satisfactory to the Engineer. Section E – Watermain E -14 Operation Services The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg Where any section of the main under test is provided with concrete anchorage, tests will not be carried out until at least five days after installation of the concrete has elapsed. E 4.03 Leakage Test Leakage test may be conducted either with the pressure test or after the pressure test has been satisfactorily completed. The duration of the leakage tests shall be 2 hours with the pressure applied for this test to be 1035 Kpa (150 psi) at the low point in the line. The amount of water required to restore the pressure to 1035 Kpa (150 psi) after the test period of 2 hours has elapsed will be the amount of leakage. The allowable leakage is in accordance with that in the following table. TABLE #3 ALLOWABLE LEAKAGE FOR MECHANICAL JOINT OR PUSH-ON JOINT PIPE IN 5.5M (18 FT.) NOMINAL LENGTHS AVERAGE TEST PRESSURE - 1035 Kpa (150 psi) PIPE SIZE - MM 100 150 200 250 310 400 - IN (4) (6) (8) (10) (12) (16) ALLOWABLE LEAKAGE LITRES PER HRS. 1.97 2.62 3.50 4.38 5.24 7.00 PER 300m If a line under test contains fittings or pipe lengths other than the nominal 5.5 m (18') lengths, Table #3 will not be used and the leakage allowed shall be in accordance with A.W.W.A. Standard C600, Section 13. If any section under test discloses a leakage greater than that allowed, the Contractor shall locate and repair the defective joint for leaks at their own expense. E 4.04 Disinfection The A.W.W.A. Standard C651-05 shall be used as a guide for the disinfection of watermains. Disinfection equipment and materials will not be available from the Town of Tillsonburg. All disinfection material (ie. Sodium Hypochlorite) shall be NSF certified. All labour, equipment and materials necessary for the sterilization will be provided by the Contractor. Sterilization of the main must be carried out under the supervision of the Town of Tillsonburg's forces. All new water mains shall be cleaned by the use of a minimum of two (2) foam swabs introduced at hydrants or at special entry sections and forced by water pressure through the main to exit points approved by the Town of Tillsonburg. Cleaning shall be repeated until the discharge water is clear and approved by the Inspector. All new water mains shall be cleaned and swabbed after the water services have been tapped and before the water mains have been disinfected. Section E – Watermain E -15 Operation Services The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg Foam swabs will be supplied, and disposed of, by the Contractor. Mains shall be cleaned or flushed before hydrostatic testing and disinfection is done. The swabs should be propelled through the main with sufficient flow so that their velocity is approximately one meter per second. If the swabs are flushed through the new water mains via the existing water mains, a properly tested backflow device or a minimum of two valves must be utilized. The connection between the existing and new water mains will be properly separated by a double check or backflow device until all testing of the new water main has been approved by the Town of Tillsonburg. An exception to the above may be given by the Town of Tillsonburg when a new water main is tapped from an existing water main, in this case, disinfection must precede any pressure or leakage test performed on the new water main. The continuous feed of chlorine solution is the preferred method because it provides a uniform chlorine residual. Water from the existing distribution system shall be made to flow at a constant rate into the new main through a properly tested backflow device. The water shall receive a constant dose of chlorine also fed at a constant rate. The hypochloride solutions shall be applied to the water main with a gasoline or electrically powered chemical feed pump designed for feeding chlorine solutions. The two rates shall be proportioned so that the chlorine concentration in the water in the pipe is maintained between 50mg/l to 100mg/l. During the application of chlorine, valves shall be manipulated to prevent the treatment dosage from flowing back into the line supplying the water. If the proposed main is longer than 300m, two persons from the Town of Tillsonburg shall be present to ensure no chlorinated waters enter into the existing distribution system. Chlorine application shall not cease until the entire main is filled with the chlorine solution. The inspector from the Town of Tillsonburg will check at the time the main is filled to assure an even distribution. Chlorine shall be applied on a continuous basis at a rate of 50 ppm or greater if required in order to produce the residual of 10 ppm after a 24 hour retention period. Chlorine solution shall be applied to the new system at the following rates: Approx. Flow Rates Time Required L/min. (300m in length; 150mm dia.) 18mm dia. – 20 L/min 4.4 hrs. 25mm dia. – 26.7 L/min 3.3 hrs. 38mm dia. – 40.4 L/min 2.2 hrs. 50mm dia. – 53 L/min 1.7 hrs. After the retention period of 24 hrs. the Operator from the Town of Tillsonburg will take tests at several locations for adequate residuals (25 mg/l minimum). If the Section E – Watermain E -16 Operation Services The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg test is successful, the main will be thoroughly flushed and tested again to ensure that the chlorine concentration in the water leaving the main is no higher than that generally prevailing in the system, or less than 1mg/L. If residual is below minimum (25mg/L), the complete sterilization procedure must be repeated. Two sets of samples should be taken, twenty-four hours apart. Ecoli, total and background should all be less than one. The water samples shall be delivered to a qualified lab by Town of Tillsonburg Water Staff for bacteria testing after disinfecting of all new water mains and services 50 mm (2") or larger at no cost to the Town of Tillsonburg. Upon receiving approval from the lab, the Town of Tillsonburg will allow the connection of new water mains and services to its distribution system. The installation shall not be turned on into the existing and operating distribution system of the Town of Tillsonburg until the chlorine residual has been reduced to a level satisfactory to the Engineer. Prior to the disinfecting, the water mains shall be thoroughly flushed under the supervision of the Town of Tillsonburg. All other labour, materials or supervision made necessary by additional pressure testing, sterilization or leak repairs shall be paid for by the Contractor. E 4.04 Disposal of Chlorinated Water All chlorinated water used for testing, flushing and disinfecting water mains shall be disposed of safely. Acceptable means of disposal are by discharge to storm sewer or open environment (drainage ditch or receiving water) with a maximum chlorine residual of 0.0 mg/L (i.e. no detectable level of chlorine). Discharge of chlorinated water directly to sanitary sewer is no longer acceptable as of January 1, 2003. When discharging to the open environment or storm sewer, it will be the responsibility of the contractor to ensure the effectiveness of the dechlorination process. The acceptable chemicals available for dechlorination can be found in the table below. The chemical that the contractor will use must be submitted to the Town of Tillsonburg for approval, along with the process used in dechlorinating. Adequate mixing and dosage of the chemical with chlorinated water must be ensured. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that there is appropriate measures in place to avoid erosion at the point of discharge and downstream. The contractor must provide a location for monitoring the chlorine residual at the point of discharge. Use of Chemicals for Dechlorination of Water There are several chemicals, which can be used to dechlorinate effectively. The following comments are offered with respect to potential impacts of each on the receiving body*. Section E – Watermain E -17 Operation Services The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg Chemical Comments/Impacts Hydrogen Peroxide This is the best chemical when discharging to an environmentally sensitive watercourse. An overdose will only add more oxygen. Sulphur Dioxide This will slightly lower the pH in the receiving water. Sodium Thiosulphate Will cause some sulphur turbidity, but an excess is harmless. Sodium Sulphite Excess will lower dissolved oxygen. Sodium Metabisulphate (sodium pyrosulphite) Excess will lower dissolved oxygen. *the above information was taken from the former MOE Bulletin 65-W-4 “Chlorination of Potable Water Supplies”.

In this regard, the design of the grading for all developments will be of primary concern to the municipality and the following criteria shall be used in preparation of all lot grading plans for new developments. In applying the criteria, while maximum limits are specified, the main objective is to ensure that the property owner (ie. Resident) will have maximum usage of their property while still providing good drainage. Consequently, initial grading design shall avoid maximum grades unless there are no alternatives. F 1.01 Slope Stability Requirements Consideration shall be given to all developable lands adjacent to rivers and streams that may be subject to flooding and erosion. For these lands, a slope stability report shall be prepared by a qualified engineer and submitted to the Town of Tillsonburg for review. This report shall include, but is not limited to, Toe Erosion Allowance, Top of Stable Slope, Erosion Access Allowance, and Erosion Hazard Limit. The study shall be prepared in accordance with the manual “Understanding Natural Hazards” by the Ministry of Natural Resources, latest revision.
