for Stage J development. ‘lo accommodate this development, the City has
upgraded the existing Dominion Pump Station from 1.22 m*/s to 4.05 m*/s and
has provided 100,000 mm of additional lowland storage to reduce impacts to the

remaining lower lying areas.

To reduce potential flooding probleras- in the Laurier area, it is possible to
increase do\.nstream pumping to enable discharge of floodwaters during high
river stages, increase ditch sizes to store larger volumes of water when
floodgates are closed, increase the outflow during low river stages by providing

additional flood boxes, or increasing the capacity of existing flood boxes,

6.2 Recommendations
It is recommended that a 1 m‘/s submersible propellor pump, complete with
discharge piping and power be installed at the Laurier floodbox at an estimated
cost of $200,000 and that the detailed design take place immediately.

It is recommended that ditch levels upstream of the Laurier floodbox be
routinely monitored during freshet and during upland peak winter flows to
evaluate the success of this alternative in reducing flooding and timing
requirements for installation of a second pump, as development of the Northeast
