Date: Monday, July 11, 2011

Background
The City of Toronto has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental
Assessment (EA) study to identify solutions to reduce erosion, restore and rehabilitate, and protect City sewer infrastructure in Duncan Creek (see map of study area). It will develop a Duncan Creek restoration strategy to rehabilitate the existing stream channel with subsequent improvements to aquatic habitat. Options for stormwater management, intended to reduce erosion and improve water quality, are also being assessed as part of the study.
In 2003, Duncan Creek was identified in the City’s Wet Weather Flow
Master Plan as a priority site in need of repair. On August 19, 2005,
an extreme rainstorm resulted in the exposure of the City’s storm and
sanitary sewers in and adjacent to Duncan Creek to a level where they are at a high risk of failure.
The Process
The study is being conducted under the Master Planning provisions of the Municipal Class EA process (amended 2007). The Class EA process will provide members of the public and interest groups with opportunities for input to this study. The study will define the problem, consider and evaluate alternative solutions, assess impacts of the proposed solutions, and identify measures to lessen any adverse impacts.
