This project was identified as a high priority site in the 2010 town-wide Creek Erosion Inventory and Assessment Study (Creek Erosion Study). A high degree of erosion was observed throughout the site, coming in close proximity to residential areas at several locations. The Creek Erosion Study is available at oakville.ca/environment/creek-erosion-study.html This EA will develop, evaluate and recommend preferred alternatives for the stabilization and rehabilitation of the creek channel and banks along Morrison Creek. To determine the nature of the problem, an inventory of the local physical and social environment will be completed. Once the problem is fully understood, a set of alternative solutions will be developed and presented to the public and regulatory agencies for comment. The study is being carried out in accordance with the requirements of a Schedule B project as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class EA document (October 2000, as amended in 2007 and 2011), Cycling to the RBC Canadian Open just got easier!
