How will the riverbank vegetation be maintained?
The location of the facility on the site takes into account the value of the riverbank vegetation. An appropriate development setback from the Bow River will both protect natural habitats and create a natural open space. The location of the treated effluent outfall will minimize impacts on the plant community. Other facilities will be located far enough back from the top of the bank to preserve the existing transition of vegetation types. To minimize the impact of the facility on air, water and soil, comprehensive environmental site mitigation will be undertaken.
