Storm Park (Wetlands)

The Town of Bon Accord has determined the need to have our wetlands evaluated for solutions that are intended to support the Town’s sustainability vision and values, outlined in the Town of Bon Accord Municipal Development Plan.

The main objectives of this feasibility study are:

To identify and analyze a spectrum of feasible stormwater management facility (SWMF) options, such as nature-based storm parks, to replace or supplement the stormwater capacity of the existing Natural Area 2 in the southeast portion of the town.
To assess and compare the SWMF options based on upfront capital costs, long-term operations, maintenance, and lifecycle needs, as well as the Town’s values, environmental benefits, and aesthetic appeal.
Investigate stormwater quality improvement for water reuse opportunities for treated stormwater as a resource within the community to provide drought resilience.

Nature-Based Stormwater Feasibility Study conducted by Magna Engineering.
