The site is located in Toronto. The size of the site is 0.53 ha. The site currently developed as commercial and residential. Proposed high rise (11-storeys) residential building with 3 levels of underground parking Proposed average site imperviousness is 90% (excluding uncontrolled buffer area 0.22 ha)

'''Stormwater Management Criteria'''
*Quantity Control – meet Humber River Unit Release Rates;
*Quality Control – 80% TSS Removal;
*Water Balance – Best Efforts to match post to pre;
*Erosion control, 25mm erosion storm released over 72 hours, on-site retention of the first 5mm of rainfall
'''Stormwater Management Strategy'''
#A series of sub-surface infiltration chambers providing on-site retention/infiltration of the 5mm storm, water balance to reduce runoff volumes, and storage of the 100-year storm;
#Quality treatment provided using an oil/grit separator immediately upstream of each of the infiltration chambers, filtration through the infiltration chamber, and finally a stormwater management facility provided prior to discharging from the site.
#Final erosion control provided within the stormwater management facility, controlling release rates to maintain the existing condition erosion exceedance values.
*Final design required both LIDs to reduce the overall runoff volumes, but also sub-surface storage chambers to provide quantity control for rare storm events up to the *100-year design storm. Due to large area required for truck parking, limited opportunities for more landscaping to promote evapotranspiration, runoff volumes increased beyond ability of LIDs to negate the need for quantity control.

Stormwater Management Criteria for the site include:
Quantity Control – Rouge River – match post development peak flow rates to pre-development;
'''Stormwater Management Criteria'''
Quality Control – 80% TSS Removal;
*Quantity Control – Rouge River – match post development peak flow rates to pre-development;
Water Balance –Match post development water budget to pre-development;
*Quality Control – 80% TSS Removal;
Erosion Control – Southern portion of site discharging to a natural dry valley feature. Feature and contributing drainage area consists of very sandy soil, producing no runoff until a greater than 25-year storm event.
*Water Balance –Match post development water budget to pre-development;
Therefore, development discharging to dry valley needed to match runoff volumes, or have no runoff from development area for storms less than 25-year design storm.

Stormwater Management Strategy
:Therefore, development discharging to dry valley needed to match runoff volumes, or have no runoff from development area for storms less than 25-year design storm.
Use a combination of increased topsoil depths, perforated storm sewers, stormwater management facility, and an infiltration facility to provide quality, quantity, and reduce runoff volumes to match pre-development.
Even with favorable soils and maximum use of infiltration techniques, site still requires quantity control storage for large storm events.
