NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTER 2 - CARLING CREEK STORMWATER MASTER PLAN - Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
The Study
The City of London has retained the services of Matrix Solutions Inc. (formerly Ecosystem Recovery Inc.) to
undertake a Municipal Class Stormwater Management Master Plan and Environmental Assessment (MCEA)
study for the Carling Creek subwatershed. The objective of the Carling Creek Stormwater Management Master
Plan study is to develop a comprehensive long-term stormwater management strategy that addresses
stormwater servicing deficiencies, surface flooding, and infrastructure renewal for existing and future land use within the area described as the ‘Core’ of the City of London. Long-term considerations include evaluating alternative options for strategic infrastructure upgrades, implementation of regional stormwater management systems, and the application of Low Impact Development (LID) solutions to achieve the desired level of stormwater servicing within the ‘Core’ study area. The stormwater management alternatives developed as
part of the study have been evaluated based on level of service expectations, constructability, cost, environmental impacts, and adaptability to climate change.
The Process
The MCEA study is being completed in accordance with the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act and has followed approach #1 of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class EA Master Plan process. The MCEA study will present sufficient detail to address Schedule A/A+ projects, including public and stakeholder consultation. Schedule B or C projects, namely recommended alternatives requiring the acquisition of private lands for regional stormwater management systems have not been identified as part of the Master Plan study.
Study Area Carling Creek is a historic watercourse that flows west through the downtown ‘Core’ of the City of London. Dating back nearly 150 years, Carling Creek has evolved from a natural creek to an urban waterway, to an almost completely enclosed stormwater drainage system. The evolution of the watercourse, which at one point involved the construction of a dam across Richmond Street and the creation of a water body historically
referred to as Lake Horn, has resulted in obstructed overland flow paths and flooding problems throughout
the watershed.
The study area is comprised of the following catchment areas:
1. Carling Trunk: outlets at the Thames River near Ann Street;
2. Central Catchment: includes key streets such as McMahen Street, Elias Street, Glasgow Street,
Quebec Street and Central Avenue;
3. Northern Catchment: includes key streets such as Wellington Street, Waterloo Street, Maitland
Street and Adelaide Street; and
4. South Catchment: includes key streets such as Rectory Street, Elizabeth Street,
Public Feedback
Public input is critical to the Master Plan process. The City of London would like anyone with an interest in
Carling Creek to have an opportunity to provide input, which will help the project team identify flooding
concerns, develop stormwater management alternatives, and evaluate impacts from a broad range of potential
improvement projects throughout the watershed. The MCEA public consultation process has been
facilitated virtually using an interactive webpage at http://getinvolved.london.ca/CarlingCreekMP. The
interactive webpage includes Public Information Centre (PIC) #1 presentation material highlighting key aspects
of the study with the support of visual aids and audio descriptions. Public Information Centre (PIC) #2 material
has recently been added to the website and is available for review and comment using the online forum included on the webpage. The PIC #2 material presents a general overview of the project and MCEA process, potential alternative solutions, a summary of the evaluation of the alternatives, and a list with recommendations for prioritized implementation of improvement projects to achieve the Carling Creek Stormwater Management
Master Plan study objectives.
