Lorne Street Stormwater Management Project

Sackville , New Brunswick

The Lorne Street Stormwater Management Phase 3 project delivered

a connected , multi - pond stormwater system that strengthens f lood

protection , improves water quality , and enhances environmental

resilience for the town of Sackville . Designed as an integrated network ,

the completed system combines adaptive reuse of existing features

with new , naturalized infrastructure to create a sustainable and ef f icient

stormwater management approach .

A key element of the project was the transformation of an abandoned

quarry into a functional stormwater retention pond . Through the

construction of a new outlet , dyke , and outlet control structure , the

Englobe project team repurposed the former quarry into critical

municipal infrastructure that safely retains stormwater and regulates

downstream f lows . The system was further expanded with the

creation of a new , naturalized retention pond in the Charles Street

area , designed to work in coordination with existing stormwater

infrastructure on St . James Street .

The ponds are interconnected through a combination of underground

piping and a gently sloped open drainage channel , allowing controlled

conveyance while maintaining natural hydrologic function . Native

wetland and upland vegetation were incorporated throughout the

system to promote inf iltration , enhance habitats , and support water

quality improvement .

By strategically reusing previously disturbed lands and minimizing

impacts on sensitive ecosystems , the project delivers long - term

f lood mitigation while supporting biodiversity and future community

growth . The result is a resilient , future - forward stormwater solution

that protects the Sackville community and will enhance stormwater

management performance for decades to come .
