| Background |
| The Town of Caledon has been investigating opportunities for improving the stormwater management pond located south of Columbia Way between Taylorwood Avenue and St. Michael’s Crescent in Bolton.These efforts included an Environmental Assessment in 2017 and a design exercise in 2019. In part, the objective of this work is to improve the flow of water impacting the stream that is currently flooding over a section of trail near Kingsview Crescent.
The existing stormwater management pond was built in the early 1990’s to provide flood control. Stormwater management has significantly changed over the last three decades. The Columbia Way Stormwater Pond was identified as high priority for improving the design to meet present day stormwater objectives. The Town completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Schedule ‘B’ to inform the preferred design. Through the Environmental Assessment process, stakeholders identified upgrading the stormwater pond to a constructed wetland as the preferred design approach. |
