This phase of Lake Ontario Integrated Shoreline Strategy involved the collection and analysis of background information to determine historical and existing conditions within the Study Area. It also identified data gaps, prioritized these gaps, and developed approaches to addressing the gaps to adequately characterize the shoreline.

The principal purpose of this report is to identify restoration opportunities within the Credit River estuary and adjacent tablelands centred on species at risk and species of conservation concern.
This report responds to a recommendation from LOISS to gain insight into the interaction of the watercourses and Lake Ontario, to identify watercourses most sensitive to backwater from the lake, and to identify watercourses providing the highest sediment inputs to the shoreline. Since Moore Creek is contained within private property of the Lorne Park Estates and access permission had not been established, this creek was not assessed during the LOISS study. The fluvial geomorphic assessment of Moore Creek was consequently identified as a data gap. CVC was subsequently granted access to Moore Creek and retained Aquafor to undertake this study to complement the LOISS dataset.
The purpose of this study is to understand and quantify the movement of sediment from Applewood- and Serson – creeks as they approach Lake Ontario.

To provide baseline information to establish a recession monitoring program for the entire CVC watershed shoreline. The recession monitoring was recommended to fill a data gap identified in the LOISS. The project consists of two components: 1) a field monitoring program; and 2) photogrammetric monitoring program.

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.
This guide’s aim is to offer information, guidance, case studies, and tools to properties managed by municipalities and other public lands about low impact development.
This guide’s aim is to provide information and guidance to residents to help retrofit residential lands with low impact development practices.
This guide’s aim is to offer advice and support – both political and technical – for the adoption of low impact development within road infrastructure in order to maintain and enhance a municipality’s level of service.
This study explores new options and processes for enhanced stormwater control, including lot-level measures which address stromwater at the beginning of a drainage system. It also examines the opportunities and constraints to residents’ implementing at-source stormwater management measures.
