The study assessed the town's existing stormwater management system in order to understand vulnerabilities related to flooding. The study included consideration of land use changes (e.g. land redevelopment) and climate change (e.g. increased rainfall frequency and intensity). The Environmental Assessment Study (EA) provides an evaluation of works to decrease the risks of flooding and pollution, including the consideration to adopt new/revised procedures and/or standards to ensure that the town's storm sewer system continues to operate effectively. The study provided recommendations for both storm sewers and roadside ditches (the minor system) and road right-of-ways (the major system) based on network performance. Recommendations include minor works such as improvements to inlet grates, as well as more substantial works such as upgrades to storm sewers, increasing system storage, and roadway re-profiling. Work will be prioritized based on the relative risk for flooding, condition and age of infrastructure and consideration of other capital works.
