PROJECT: Mountsberg Creek Restoration Project

CLIENT: City of Hamilton (Carlisle) and Conservation Halton

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:

• Water’s Edge was engaged by Conservation Halton to undertake the restoration design for Mountsberg Creek in Courtcliffe Park (City of Hamilton).
• This work built upon previous work done by Water’s Edge on Bronte Creek within Courtcliffe Park for Trout Unlimited and Conservation Halton.
• Water’s Edge staff engineered detailed design plans to propose the historic Mountsberg channel be rehabilitated to accept permanent flows and to abandon the channel constructed by the previous landowner. 
• An investigation of existing stream conditions was completed to confirm that the original channel was still up to the task of handling any increases.
• The design improved habitat and flow conveyance, alleviated stagnant areas, and promotes natural fish passage.
• Water’s Edge was also engaged for tendering, and construction inspection and guidance.
