This will involve avoiding areas such as: Within an area, confine development and construction to the least sensitive areas.In particular, wetlands, stream headwaters and major areas of groundwater recharge should be avoided. Avoid areas of significant ecological value or sensitivity.For construction related activities, these include: A number of factors can be identified during the planning phase that will help to foster incorporation of ecosystem principles and reduce or eliminate the need for expensive control measures and post-construction remedial work. In short, this implies fitting the development into the existing environment without creating any major detrimental effects. Planning for any type of development must incorporate an ecosystem approach if many of the past environmental problems are to be avoided. The series of documents are titled "Evaluating Construction Activities Impacting on Water Resources" and covered major land-disturbing activities associated with highways and bridges, oil and gas pipelines, marine construction and small scale riparian activities to enhance recreational uses of waterfront properties. This document updates the series of construction handbooks issued by the Ministry in the mid-70's and revised during the mid-1980's to complement its policies on the protection of water resources from sediment and associated contaminants. Part III, the Dredging Handbook, will continue to be distributed as a separate volume. The current document updates and supersedes Parts I, II, IV and V. Part IV: Marine Construction Projects (1986).Part III: Dredging Handbook (1991, revised 1994).Part II: Guidelines for Highway and Bridge Construction (1984).Part I: Guidelines for Construction of Hydrocarbon Transmission and Distribution Pipelines Crossing Watercourses (1984).This document is an update of the MOEE's "Evaluating Construction Activities Impacting on Water Resources" published in 1976 and updated in 1984, at which time it was published as a series of five separate documents: Ontario Water Resources Act, RSO 1990, Sections 29, 30Įnvironmental Protection Act, RSO 1990, Sections 3, 6, 14 (This guideline is a consolidation of former Ministry guidelines B-6, B-8, B-10 and B-11.)
