East Morrison Creek Erosion Mitigation Study
The study aims to identify erosion risks, define erosion hazards, and develop solutions to mitigate erosion for East Morrison Creek.
Overview
The town is carrying out a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to identify erosion risks, define erosion hazards, and develop preferred options to mitigate erosion for the East Morrison Creek.
This study will follow the planning and design process as defined in the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2023) as a Schedule B project.
Project file
The project file has been prepared to document the planning and decision-making process for this study. and the project file is available for review. Special accommodations to view hard copies will be determined on an as-needed basis.
