Stormwater Treatment Upgrade at GO Transit Streetsville Bus Garage
Official title: Metrolinx - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
Metrolinx wants to add four oil/grit separators at its Streetsville bus garage in Mississauga. These devices filter pollutants from stormwater before it flows into Mullet Creek. The system would treat runoff from a 4.75-hectare area, removing at least 80% of suspended solids.
Why This Matters
Live near Mullet Creek in Mississauga? This affects water quality in your neighbourhood. The separators catch oil and grit from the bus garage before it reaches the creek. It's a small project, but it's about keeping local waterways cleaner.
What Could Change
If approved, Metrolinx can install four new stormwater treatment units at the Streetsville bus garage. The amendment updates their existing Environmental Compliance Approval to include this equipment.
Key Issues
- Is the proposed stormwater treatment system adequate to protect Mullet Creek?
