Pond and Landscape Upgrade at the Winnipeg Tax Centre
This is a non-designated project on federal lands or outside Canada. The listed authorities are responsible for the project assessment.
The Winnipeg Taxation Centre is in East Winnipeg on a large 10-hectare site adjacent to major thoroughfares. Constructed in 1979 at 66 Stapon Road, this is a large footprint (31,710 gross area - square meters), two-storey building with a rentable space of 27,922 square meters. South of the building is a storm water retention pond that also serves as a contemplative and reflecting pond. The retention pond was designed as a storm drainage pond to capture excess rain and snow melt from around the property. Water samples taken from the retention pond indicate that the body of water is in a eutrophic state which means the water has high nutrients and low dissolved oxygen, resulting in excessive aquatic growth and an odor. An aeration system will be installed and placed on a concrete pad and covered with a lockable sound booth. Two floating fountains will be spaced evenly in the pond and include a total of six LED lights. LG Sonic E-Line Ultrasound Algae Control will be installed with a 2-E-line system and a control panel. The contractor will maintain wetlands shoreline plants and native grasses for one year in the riparian zone. In addition the on-site irrigation system will be upgraded with new underground piping, valves, and pumps.The Winnipeg Taxation Centre is in East Winnipeg on a large 10-hectare site adjacent to major thoroughfares.
