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 out oil and sediment from stormwater before it flows into Mullet Creek. The upgrade would treat runoff from about 4.75 hectares of the site.
Why This Matters
Live near Mullet Creek in Mississauga? This affects water quality in your neighbourhood. The separators would remove 80% of suspended solids from bus garage runoff before it reaches the creek.
What Could Change
If approved, Metrolinx's environmental permit would be amended to allow four new stormwater treatment units. The bus garage would have to maintain these separators to meet provincial standards for water discharge.
Key Issues
- Will the oil/grit separators adequately protect Mullet Creek water quality?
- Is the 80% suspended solids removal rate sufficient for this location?
