LAKESHORE TRANSPORTATION STUDIES - NEW CREDIT RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION (AT) BRIDGE STUDY

The SAR and SCC species were assessed to identify the habitat potential within the study areas (Appendix D), the results of the SAR assessment are detailed within Section 5.7, and SCC are discussed in relation to SWH in Section 4.3.4. [...] The marsh system ends upstream of the CN bridge; however, the works being completed on the downstream section as part of the Credit River AT bridge are within the PSW 120 m AOI. [...] To identify the likelihood of species occurrences within the study area, each species was assessed based on the habitat criteria of that species and the availability of habitat (Appendix D). [...] Category 1 includes the nest, Category 2 is the area within 5 m of the nest, and Category 3 is the area between 5 to 200 m of the nest. [...] 8.1 Potential Impacts The construction of the active transport bridge will require dewatering at the proposed bridge footing above the high-water mark on either side of the Credit River as well as permanent land alteration and revegetation of the study areas.
