About this project
Stage 1 Study (Completed September 2020)
This Environmental Assessment (EA) was initiated to determine stormwater management solutions to facilitate development in south London for lands within the Urban Growth Boundary for the next 20 years. Finalization of floodplain updates delayed the project. To address imminent development pressure, the Stage 1 EA proceeded to identify preferred stormwater management strategies for lands not impacted by floodplain updates (Stage 1 Lands). Stage 2 lands were to be addressed in a future study.
The Environmental Assessment Project File for the Stage 1 Lands is available below.
The purpose of this EA is to finalize regulatory floodplain for Dingman Creek and assess potential flood mitigation and stormwater servicing alternatives to address imminent and future flooding and erosion risk within primarily the Stage 2 Lands.
Through the EA, a range of flood mitigation and stormwater management strategies will be developed. The recommended approach will guide future development, identify mitigative and adaptive flood control works and align with the City’s vision for the creek corridor to integrate natural heritage, stormwater management and recreational uses.
Public meeting
The City of London recently hosted a public meeting on October 19, 2023 about options for flood mitigation strategies considered in the Environmental Assessment process and to share draft updated Regulatory Floodplain mapping. The meeting was open house format (drop in) between 6:00pm to 7:30pm at South London Community Centre. You can review information from this meeting by downloading the documents below:

Jeffery the Salamander is the mascot for the Dingman Creek EA study. His character is based on the Jefferson Salamander, which is on the endangered species list in Ontario. This species has been sighted in certain pockets within the Dingman Creek study area. The City of London is working to support habitat for Jeffery as well as other Species at Risk by protecting and improving natural woodlands, wetlands, and watercourses. We hope that by making the natural environment healthier, the City will be a safe home for diverse species of fish, animals, plants, and trees.
