What affects might there be on the natural environment in Mississauga, especially around the creeks, parks and waterfront?
A17. Potential impacts could include removal of trees and vegetation and ground water management during construction. Every effort will be made to avoid sensitive areas and to minimize impacts, if any. Work is now underway to collect information about the existing study area natural features, including streams, soils and environmentally significant areas (parks, wetlands, woodlands etc.), in consultation with the Conservation Authorities, City of Mississauga, and other agencies and stakeholders, as applicable. All this information, along with other considerations such as potential social and cultural impacts, economic and technical factors, will be used to select the preferred route(s), establish mitigation measures and monitor impacts, if any.
