Mid-Spencer Creek/Greensville Rural Settlement Area Subwatershed Study
The City of Hamilton has initiated a Subwatershed and Class Environmental Assessment study for the Mid-Spencer Creek and Greensville Rural Settlement Area (PDF, 184 KB). Residents in the Greensville RSA and the subwatershed are currently serviced by private septic systems and groundwater-sourced municipal communal, private communal or individual wells.
The study will set a management strategy for:
- surface water such as streams and stormwater
- groundwater
- community servicing such as water and septic
- natural areas such as wetlands and woodlots
Location: There are two distinct study areas for this project, the Greensville Rural Settlement Area or RSA and the Mid-Spencer Creek Subwatershed. Both are located within the Spencer Creek watershed, a majority of which is located within the western portion of the City of Hamilton.
Study status: Complete
Classification: Master Plan (Approach 1)
