Project Objective. Describe the Project’s overall objectives. The effects of climate change (increased frequency and severity of heavy rainfall and snow melt, sea level rise, increased wind, wave action and salt spray, as well as increased magnitude and frequency of storm surges) have resulted and are projected to further increase the risk of flooding and failure of the infrastructure included as part of this Project (harbour front seawall, 9 wastewater pumping stations, 1 water pumping station) including the SJE Project (relocation of 2 electrical substations). The Project is intended to mitigate the risk and increase the resiliency of the critical infrastructure. The 3 components listed in this Project have been determined based on vulnerability risk assessment of where the biggest risk is associated with the effects of climate change due to flooding. Based on the infrastructure vulnerability and options available the approach has been determined as either, move to higher ground, provide further protection/barrier from water and any other design requirements to assist in avoiding future damages and keeping the City safe.
