Quebec ice storm = children at a greater risk to develop asthma, diabetes or obesity, similar results from Calgary flood

Developing Areas
Despite meeting current MOE requirements with the use of ponds:
• Increasing trends in wet weather stream-flow- 90 times pre-development
• Increasing pollutant loading, temp and erosion, flood risks downstream
• Reduced dry weather streamflows impacting wastewater dilution, water takings from streams, fisheries

SWM Pond Performance
• More events produce runoff= pollutant loading more often
• Literature finds end-of-pipe facilities less effective than LID in removing finer particles

Top Stakeholder Priorities
1. Water quality and quantity performance of LID design in low infiltration soils
2. How multiple LID treats and manage stormwater
3. Performance of flood control, erosion control, water quality and natural heritage protection
4. Long term maintenance
5. Lifecycle costs

Road Right of Way – Performance Monitoring • 90% of all rainfall events are
absorbed by LID
• Only 3-12 rainfall events each year produce runoff
• For those 3-12 events, LID removed up to 99% of Total Suspended Solids and 84% Total Phosphorus
• Works during winter thaws

LID Performance
• LID reduced up to 60% of the peak runoff;
• LID reduced volume by 30% (30 mm)
• Delayed the timing of the peak by 20 minutes

Monitoring Suggests • LID offers “quick-win” opportunities in flood prone areas
while larger scale SWM measures are being designed, constructed
• Data supports International BMP database (BMPDB) and National Stormwater Quality Database (NSQD), and STEP;
• City of Mississauga passes Resolution to look at all capital roads projects for LID feasibility
