Ottawa residents are concerned about the health of the Ottaw aRiver. As part of the Ottawa River Action Plan, the City of Ottawa has developed a draft Stormwater Management Retrofit Strategy for the Pinecrest Creek subwatershed and the adjacent Westboro area. The Strategy shows how we can improve stormwater management ponds and taking other actions. These measures will retain stormwater, reduce loadings of pollutants, and slow down the release of stormwater into Pinecrest Creek and the Ottawa River. The benefits of implementing the proposed Strategy will be:
The Pinecrest Creek-Westboro Stormwater Management Retrofit Study is a pilot project. What we learn here about reducing stormwater pollution will eventually be applied to other creeks and streams in Ottawa.
City staff and the study team will be at the Open House to explain how the study was carried out, what the Stormwater Management Retrofit Strategy will mean for Pinecrest Creek, the Ottawa River and Westboro Beach, and how you can be involved. We are looking for feedback from the Community on the proposed Strategy and your ideas about reducing stormwater pollution. We hope to see you at the Open House!
