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 />
