Cobalt.
1.4
Policy Statement
The Town of Cobalt will provide efficient and cost-effective winter maintenance to ensure, insofar
as reasonably practicable, the safety of users of the municipal transportation network in keeping
with applicable provincial legislation and accepted standards while controlling the use of road salt

3.3
Level of Service
The Town of Cobalt provides the following level of service during the winter maintenance season,
as set out in Part 4, in response to a winter weather event.
While this Winter Operations Plan establishes levels of service, it is acknowledged that conditions
may occur which temporarily prevent achieving levels assigned. In such cases, attempts should
be made to keep roads open, consistent with resources available.
When it becomes evident that available resources are not sufficient to maintain roads open and
passable, the Public Works Department may implement road closing procedures in co-operation
with the Ontario Provincial Police.
3.4
Weather Monitoring
(1) From October 1 to April 30, the minimum standard is to monitor the weather, both current
and forecast to occur in the next 24 hours three times per calendar day, at intervals
determined by the municipality.
(2) From May 1 to September 30, the minimum standard is to monitor the weather, both
current and forecast to occur in the next 24 hours, once per calendar day.
In order to determine an effective winter event response and allocate the appropriate resources,
the Town supplements road patrol information with weather information from various sources
which include:
-
Observations from municipal staff, communication with staff of adjacent municipalities
and MTO contractors
-
Monitoring websites i.e. www.theweathernetwork.com
Weather forecasts are monitored on the radio, television, and online for the purpose of planning.
Patrolling by the Public Works Superintendent is used to monitor ongoing situations in order to
determine whether equipment should be dispatched.
3.5
Patrolling
(1) The standard for the frequency of patrolling of highways to check for conditions described
in this Regulation is set out in Table 3.5.1. O. Reg. 23/10, s. 3 (1); O. Reg. 366/18, s. 3 (2)
Table 3.5.1 - Patrolling Frequency
Class of Highway
Patrolling Frequency
1
3 times every 7 days
2
2 times every 7 days
3
Once every 7 days
4 - Connecting Link
Once every 14 days
5 - Remainder of Town
Once every 30 days
(2) If it is determined by the municipality that the weather monitoring indicates that there is a
substantial probability of snow accumulation on roadways, ice formation on roadways or
icy roadways, the standards for patrolling highways is, in addition to that set out Table
3.5.1, to patrol highways that the municipality selects as representative of its highways, at
intervals deemed necessary by the municipality, to check for such conditions. O. Reg.
47/13, s. 2; O. Reg. 366/18, s. 3.
(3) Patrolling a highway consist of observing the weather and road conditions and may be
performed by persons responsible for patrolling highways or by persons responsible for or
Town of Cobalt
Schedule "A"
Winter Operations Plan
By-Law
Page 8 of 20
performing highway maintenance activities. Should a winter event be observed, or a
winter event response is required, the person responsible for patrolling highways shall
mobilize winter maintenance operators and equipment. O. Reg. 23/10, s. 3 (1);
(4) On the approach of a winter event, or during a winter event, the route of representative
roads may be modified, insofar as reasonably practicable, depending on the type and
severity of the winter event or the direction from which the storm approaches.
3.6
Procedure for Declaring a Winter Weather Event
(1) Trigger of a Winter Weather Event
The procedure for declaring a winter weather event (WWE) is to be followed whenever a
WWE is occurring or is about to occur. The following criteria should be considered when
deciding to declare a WWE:
- Environment Canada's weather hazard warnings
- Road Weather Information System weather hazard warnings
It is prudent to consider other weather forecast tools, including but not limited to, snow/ice
fall intensity, sun light, temperature, dew point, time of day, etc. and actual site
conditions. If there is uncertainty as to whether a weather event is significant, treat it as
significant.
Municipal staff is responsible for reporting changing winter weather and/or road
conditions as the charges are observed in the field.
In the event that a road must be closed due to a severe winter storm, OPP will contact
the Public Works Superintendent. The Public Works Superintendent will then assure that
barricades are properly placed that prevent any vehicles from entering onto the roadway.
Detour signs will also be placed in proper positions to redirect traffic.
However, it should be emphasized that the decisions will be subjective and external
input, whether in this plan or elsewhere, merely acts as an aid in determining if a call out
of staff or equipment is warranted. It is vital that the Public Works Superintendent records
the prevalent conditions and relevant information when they make a decision. When a
WWE response is required, the Public Works Superintendent or their designate, will
initiate a call out.
3.7
Snow Accumulation
(1) The minimum standard for addressing snow accumulation is,
(a)
the Public Works Department will deploy resources as soon as practicable
after becoming aware of the fact that the snow accumulation on a roadway is
greater than the depth set out in Table 3.7.1; and
(b)
After the snow accumulation has ended, to address the snow accumulation
so as to reduce the snow to a depth less than or equal to the depth set out in
Table 3.7.1 within the time set out in the table:
i. To provide a minimum lane width of the lesser of three meters for each
lane or the actual land width; or
ii. On a Class 4 or Class 5 highway with two lanes, to provide a total width
of at least five meters.
Town of Cobalt
Schedule "A"

Page 9 of 20
(2) If the depth of the snow accumulation on a roadway is less than or equal to the depth set
out in the Table 3.7.1, the roadway is deemed to be in a state of repair with respect to
snow accumulation.
(3) For the purpose of this section, the depth of snow accumulation on a roadway may be

(a)
Patrolling Highways
(b)
Performing highway maintenance activities
(c)

Performing a visual estimate
(5) For the purposes of this section, addressing snow accumulation on a roadway includes,
but is not limited to:

If the municipality determines that there is a substantial probability of ice
forming on a roadway; treat the roadway to prevent ice formation within the
time set out Table 3.8.1, starting from the time that the municipality
determines is the appropriate time to deploy resources for that purpose.
(2) If the municipality meets the minimum standard set out in subsection (1) and, despite
such compliance, ice forms on a roadway, the roadway is deemed to be in a state of
repair until the earlier of:
