SUMMARY OF LOCAL OPPORTUNITES<br />

SIX MILE CREEK<br />

Element Urban Non-Urban<br />

• Erosion control– bank protection,<br />

• SWM – Erosion control enhancement<br />

• Enhance bed morphology<br />

• Removal of on-line ponds (MND-2, MND-5)<br />

• SWM – Erosion control enhancement Enhanced bed<br />

morphology<br />

Flooding<br />

(infrastructure,<br />

floodplain)<br />

Natural Heritage<br />

System<br />

• Remediate 4 potential flood damage centres, through<br />

conveyance improvements, and potentially local floodproofing:<br />

• up to 25 flood-prone structures near the<br />

intersection of Bethune and Shirley<br />

• 3 on Centralia (sheets 2,4)<br />

• 1 at Bernard and Nigh<br />

• 16 at Dominion and Burleigh, on the Mann drain<br />

• shoreline protection<br />

• upgrade 10 culverts that create significant backwater<br />

during the 100 year event<br />

• retrofit existing development with SWM<br />

• Erosion control required<br />

• Reach SMC-6: rehabilitate straightened channel by<br />

re-establishing flow in the existing original natural<br />

channel.<br />

• Reach MND-1: establish natural riparian vegetation<br />

buffer along watercourse.<br />

• Rehabilitate straightened channels (Reaches SMC-7,<br />

SMC-8, MND-2, MND-3, MND-4, MND-5, and<br />

MND-6) as part of potential future urban or<br />

residential development.<br />

Stormwater<br />

Management<br />

• Peak flow and volume control required in central<br />

and upper subcatchments, and MAN102.<br />

Water Quality • PS potential contaminant loading identified at. Auto<br />

wrecker on Stonemill south of Garrison Road<br />

• Main Opportunity: Protection<br />

• Main Opportunity: Protection<br />

• Protect EPAs; conserve ECAs & LSAs according to • Protect Shoreline if lake levels decline<br />

Official <strong>Plan</strong><br />

• Protect EPAs; conserve ECAs & LSAs according to<br />

• Street trees, roadside swales, green roofs could<br />

OP<br />

improve runoff and moderate microclimate.<br />

• Enhance existing natural areas through slough<br />

• Where feasible opportunities exist, intensify new<br />

mosaic reestablishment, if feasible, appropriate<br />

development to save areas elsewhere<br />

opportunity<br />

• Where opportunity outside EPA and appropriate • Encourage shoreline owners to restore coastal<br />

landscape (see map NH8) and communities, enhance habitats<br />

existing natural areas through slough mosaic<br />

• Extend corridor linkages northward and westward<br />

reestablishment<br />

and along creeks<br />
