The Town of Oakville has initiated this Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to assess creek erosion and stability of West Morrison Creek from Upper Middle Road to McCraney Street. The study is intended to characterize the existing site, determine the causes of erosion and develop comprehensive alternative solutions for the stabilization and rehabilitation of the creek channel and banks along Morrison Creek. 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 (2013), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The EA process includes public and agency consultation, an evaluation of alternative solutions, an assessment of the potential environmental effects of the alternative solutions, selection of the preferred solution, and identification of reasonable measures to mitigate any adverse impacts.
