In 2007, five wetlands were constructed to deal with the
stormwater draining from two storm sewer outfalls for the
Ellis Avenue and Colborne Lodge Drive area near High Park
and cost $5.8 million. The wetlands are located in the following
areas:
-
Colborne Lodge Drive and Lakeshore Blvd.: The wetland
treats stormwater flow from the Colborne Lodge
and Lakeshore Blvd. area. The stormwater is pretreated
by an oil and grit separator.
-
Adjacent to the Humber River: A large, state-of-the-art
wetland and forebay treats stormwater flows from
Lakeshore Blvd. and Colborne Lodge Drive.
-
Rennie Park: A wetland and forebay, along with creek
restoration treats stormwater flows from the north
Swansea neighbourhood
-
Southwest section of Grenadier Pond: A wetland and
forebay treats stormwater flows from West Pond and
Ellis Avenue
-
Bottom of Ellis Avenue: A wetland treats stormwater
flows from the south end of Ellis Avenue and the
Queensway.
In 2002, a Schedule "C" Class Environmental Assessment Study was completed.
