Stormwater Pond and Bolton Dog Park

Notice of Study Completion
IBI Group has been retained by the Town of Caledon to provide the detailed design for the retrofit of the Marconi Court Stormwater Management (SWM) Pond, commonly referred to as Facility #16. The SWM Pond is located on the west side of Coleraine Drive between Marconi Court and Wheeler Drive in Bolton. In addition to Facility #16, Town is also investigating drainage issues in the adjacent leash free dog park.
The improvements are categorized as Schedule A+ under the EA Act. Schedule A is a pre-approved activity, which specifically includes works that “establish new or replace or expand existing stormwater detention/retention ponds or tanks and appurtenances including outfall to receiving water body provided all such facilities are in either an existing utility corridor or an existing road allowance where no additional property is required. NOTE – Utility corridors are not always linear, therefore expansion of a stormwater management facility is a Schedule A activity provided no additional property is required.” And A+5 “Modify, retrofit, or improve a retention / detention facility including outfall or infiltration system for the purpose of stormwater quality control.”
The overall goal of the Work is to retrofit the SWMF to improve the overall function of the facility.
Study report
The Environmental Study and Stormwater Management Draft Report is now available for 30 days for public review from February 24, 2022 to March 26, 2022
Study Overview
The Town of Caledon has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to look into improvements to the stormwater management facility (Pond #16) and adjacent dog park located at 12889 Coleraine Drive, Bolton.
The study is following the Class Environmental Assessment Schedule A/A+ process.
The purpose of the study is to outline all expected and necessary improvements required to rehabilitate the stormwater facility. The study will identify a preferred design for the facility, as well as include a re-designing of the adjacent Dog Park.
Stormwater Pond
In developing a recommended stormwater design, the study will consider a range of options for the stormwater management pond including, but not limited to:
- Restoring the facility to its original condition to provide flood control
- Re-designing that pond for water quality improvements
Dog Park
The adjacent dog park will also undergo a re-design to improve user experience. The design will consider a range of improvements including, but not limited to:
- A small dog area, improving accessibility
- A permanent fenced perimeter.
The study is currently planned as a Schedule “A/A+”, in compliance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended 2007, 2011 & 2015).
Public Consultation
A key component of the study is to have consultation with interested stakeholders including public, landowners and regulatory agencies. A virtual public meeting was be held on June 24, 2021 to share the preliminary design and receive input from the public on the study, including the problem and opportunities, existing conditions, and next steps.
