Etobicoke and Mimico Creeks Watersheds Technical Update Report

On February 25, 2011, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) approved the Etobicoke and Mimico Creeks Watersheds Technical Update Report. The purpose of this study was to fill data gaps and analyse the technical information that has become available since publication of the watershed strategy Greening Our Watersheds; A Strategy for the Etobicoke and Mimico Creek Watersheds (TRCA, 2002) and report card Turning Over a New Leaf: The Etobicoke and Mimico Creeks Watersheds Report Card (TRCA, 2006).

The report consolidates updated information in the following areas:

  • Groundwater quantity and quality
  • Surface water quantity
  • Baseflow and water use
  • Stormwater management and streamflow
  • Fluvial geomorphology
  • Surface water quality
  • Terrestrial natural heritage system
  • Aquatic system - instream barriers to fish passage

The updated technical information is meant to support the watershed strategy and inform the ongoing implementation of policies and programs by the TRCA and its partners. The report also identifies strategic priorities for action, in the areas of: policy development, monitoring enhancements, further investigation and regeneration.
Copies of the Technical Update Report and illustrated Executive Summary are available, below, for download.
