Implementing a habitat adjacent to homes. click here>>>  Due Diligence.

Regulatory agencies (OMAFRA, APEO, MMAH), require municipalities uphold OBC in construction and in relation to drainage impact. When significantly altering the water table near homes a Geotech engineer is consulted resulting in an engineering report.

Appropriately, our petition of 2020 included foundation concerns. The city’s resulting focus, has no Geotech engineering report, related assessment or due diligence procedures.

Based on guidelines, the city can measure to assess our homes at peak water levels. If necessary, probable risk can be confirmed with Monitoring wells. Please let me know if measurements or wells have been applied to your properties?

The city has indicated that, each individual household, should engage the services of a soils or structural engineer.” But we are Multiple  homes?

OBC guidelines were followed when our homes were built, but these homes are now adjacent to persistent water levels, and would require extra margin.

This habitat was not planned, or properly assessed. If city engineers and/or building inspectors, were consulted, none have stepped forward to say the raised water table is harmless to our homes.

I have put forward a formal complaint to city engineering planning and the CBO. Dependant on how the city responds I may specifically petition for the city to conduct a proper water table assessment.

Alternative, actions will be dependant on how responsibly the municipality responds.
