Vineyard Creek Estates Stormwater Management Environmental Assessment

The Study

The Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) to support proactive stormwater management improvements, address localized drainage concerns and improve the Vineyard Creek Stormwater Management (SWM) pond. This study will explore alternative solutions and identify a preferred approach to enhance stormwater management.

The Process

The study is being completed in accordance with the MCEA Schedule B process. The study will develop alternative solutions and identify a preferred solution that is technically feasible to address localized drainage concerns within the Study Area, as shown in Figure 1, while minimizing potential natural, social, cultural and economic impacts. Subject to the identification of the preferred solution, the detailed design, and the receipt of the necessary approvals, the Town will proceed with the project upon the conclusion of the MCEA study. The project is anticipated to take approximately 1.5 years to complete.
