Abstract
Part of the planning for the revitalization of the Toronto Waterfront is the naturalization of the mouth of the Don River. Flood protection of the lower Don River is a key component of this project, along with sustainable sediment management throughout the study area. TRCA has identified the lower Don River as the number one priority for flood protection in their jurisdiction. A Class EA was recently completed to provide a solution to flooding west of the Don and this project will be soon under construction. Baird and TRCA are part of the team undertaking the environmental assessment for naturalizing the Don River and addressing flooding in the Port Lands. This presentation presents the analysis of flooding, flood protection performance and sediment transport through numerical modeling of the mouth of the Don using the Delft3-D hydrodynamic and sediment transport model. This includes sediment trap analysis and evaluation of dredging options; assessment of sediment transport and deposition in different naturalized channel alternatives, plus geomorphic analysis, analytical modelling of sediment transport and deposition, and evaluation of the functional design for the restored channel, wetlands and flood spillways.
