Stormwater Pond Approval for Burnham Street Subdivision in Hamilton Township
Official title: Crespi Land Development Corporation - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
A developer wants to build a dry stormwater pond to serve a new residential subdivision at 3710 Burnham Street North in Hamilton Township, Ontario. The pond would collect rainwater runoff from the new homes and roads, then release it into an existing roadside ditch along County Road 18.
Why This Matters
Live near Burnham Street or County Road 18? This project could affect drainage patterns in your area. New subdivisions change how rainwater flows. If the stormwater system isn't designed well, it could mean more flooding or erosion downstream.
What Could Change
If approved, Crespi Land Development Corporation can proceed with building the stormwater pond and the residential subdivision. The dry pond would become part of the local drainage infrastructure, discharging into the County Road 18 ditch system.
Key Issues
- Is the proposed dry pond adequate to manage stormwater from the new subdivision?
- Will discharging into the County Road 18 ditch cause downstream impacts?
