Stormwater Management Strategy

Muskoka’s Lake System Health program identified stormwater as an issue affecting the water quality of Muskoka’s lakes and rivers and recognized the need to look at stormwater more strategically to ensure a comprehensive approach is taken to address long-term lake system health objectives.

A stormwater strategy has been developed that identifies how The District Municipality of Muskoka and the six Area Municipalities can collectively better manage stormwater to protect lake system health.

The following documents were prepared by Aquafor Beech Limited as part of the strategy:

• Phase 1 Report
• Muskoka District Stormwater Management Guidelines
• Muskoka District Stormwater Management Guidelines Appendix "A" detailed methods 
• Muskoka District Stormwater Management Guidelines Appendix "B" Design of LID Practices 
• Muskoka District Stormwater Management Guidelines Generic Terms of Reference

These reports have been accepted by the Planning and Economic Development Committee and please click here for the asssociated staff report.
