Environmental Assessment Notice of Commencement for the Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area Project. Includes a description of the project, first steps, and information on public information centre.
Consultant report documenting a review of the literature and policies and practices in southern Ontario related to ecological buffers, and the development of an evaluation methodology for determining appropriate buffer widths around natural heritage features based on this review.
This Stormwater Management Guideline replaces the Stormwater Management Criteria (2012). The new document reflects climate change, new technologies, and policy directions. The SWM Guide supplements CVC’s Planning and Development Administrative Procedural Manual (CVC, 2011), with more detailed direction regarding the Stormwater Management component of development approvals.
This paper is intended to raise awareness and stimulate a dialogue on the challenges associated with current stormwater management practices in Ontario, identify the benefits of low impact development (LID) and act as a roadmap for broad scale implementation of LID across Ontario.
Feasibility Study on the Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area to define risks and to explore the costs and benefits of the project in advance and to support an environmental assessment that may follow.
The study uses a survey of residents in the Credit River Watershed to determine exactly how natural areas contribute to their wellbeing. These include the role of natural areas in the provision of ecosystem services which maintain or enhance human well-being, and in the provision of physical, mental, and social wellbeing.
Report documenting Phase 1 and 2 of the Natural Heritage System Strategy for the Credit River Watershed. This work includes the characterization and assessment of existing conditions in the watershed through a Landscape Scale Analysis.
Summary version of “Towards a Natural Heritage System for the Credit River Watershed: Final Technical Report”.
Appendix A of “Towards a Natural Heritage System for the Credit River Watershed: Final Technical Report”. Includes maps associated with the characterization and assessment of existing conditions in the Credit River Watershed for Phase 1 and 2 of the Natural Heritage System Strategy.
This report (phase 2) estimates the value of retaining and restoring wetland services in the Credit River Watershed using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM).
Using inventory data, the total tons of carbon stored in Credit River watershed’s forests and plantations was estimated, and predicted up to 2030.
This study used a comparative analysis between two deicing treatments: sand-salt mixture and salt treated with magnesium chloride.
This report is intended to inform CVC municipalities as to the programmatic approaches and solutions that have been used to integrate LID into stormwater management programs.
This report (phase 1) details valuing wetland ecosystem services in the Credit River Watershed. This report summarizes the literature about: (i) identifying/ quantifying wetland ecosystem services; (ii) assessing the impact that human activities/actions have on these services; and (iii) estimating the economic value provided by these services.
This study evaluates the increase in the value of properties proximal to natural features (i.e.,
ravines and upland green space).
