Overview: The Port Lands: Flood Protection and Redevelopment
• $1.25-billion flood-protection project in Toronto’s Port Lands district
• Largest urban redevelopment project currently underway in North America
• 100-hectares (~250 acres) of contaminated property
• Redevelopment includes• Building a new river valley and re-naturalizing the mouth of the river
• Environmental risk management measures

River Valley Design Objectives
• Hydraulic Control During Construction• Limit amount of dewatering and water treatment required
• Facilitate construction of horizontal RMM barrier and River finishes under dry conditions
• Risk Management Measures• Long-term protection of surface water, visitors, workers, and
ecosystems from future contaminant transport (dissolved and free phase)
Design: Vertical Cutoff Wall and Horizontal Barrier

Groundwater Model
• Simulate groundwater flow conditions to:• evaluate design assumptions
• assess potential for groundwater mounding
• assess potential impact on dissolved phase and free phase petroleum hydrocarbons
• assess changes in flow paths to inform long term monitoring

Design Considerations
• Construction sequencing and scheduling
• Roadway and bridge relocations
• Work in the wet vs. work in the dry
• High water treatment costs

GEOMEMBRANE TREATMENT LAYER
PROTECTIVE COVER LAYER
RIVER FINISHES• Required contingency supplementary to
Geomembrane and Geosynthetic Clay Liner
• 60-mil HDPE geomembrane primarily governed
by long-term longevity and chemical
compatibility
• 1.5-cm bentonite GCL liner
• Primary hydrologic and physical barrier isolating
the underlying impacts from proposed river
finishes
• Facilitates collection of any potential seepage
water contacting the GCL and premature
hydration during barrier placement
• Mechanism for keeping excavation dry

Reactive Treatment Layer Zones
• Carbon dosage corresponds to max groundwater concentrations under Horizontal Barrier
• Either granular activated carbon or powder activated carbon
• Groundwater dissolved phase breakthrough criteria based on accepted aquatic protection values
