What is proposed for Kanata West?
In small headwater tributaries like the upper Carp River, flood-plains are often very wide, shallow and indistinct, so it may be necessary to modify the flood-plain to enable urban development to proceed in an efficient manner. This becomes more advantageous when significant restoration and environmental improvements can be realized in the process. The Carp River is well suited to the application of the modified one-zone concept since the flood-plain is very wide and shallow. In April 2007, the Minister of Natural Resources stated that the objectives of the Provincial Natural Hazards Policy have been met in the Carp River Restoration Plan.
