Application of RipRap on the Shoreline and Canal Bed for Erosion Protection - 3510 Donnelly Drive, Rideau River

The property owner of 3510 Donnelly Drive, located on the Rideau River and part of the Rideau Canal, is proposing to stabilize a portion of their shoreline through the application of rip rap. The applicant is proposing to install riprap over 120ft of shoreline that has been eroding due to the waves from the nearby navigation channel. At least 50% of the shoreline within the project zone has mature shoreline trees and the root systems are exposed due to the erosion. The landowner proposes to install riprap around the root systems, which would encroach onto the bed of the canal a maximum area of 22.5 m2. The property is within a Provincially Significant Wetland, and impacts to the wetland will be evaluated within the Impact Assessment.
