Yellow Creek Geomorphic Systems Master Plan
The City of Toronto has initiated a study to identify sewer and watermain infrastructure in Yellow Creek that is at risk of erosion from high flows due to storms and snow melt runoff. The study will evaluate and recommend solutions to reduce these erosion risks through an assessment of Yellow Creek’s stream processes (geomorphology).
The geomorphology of a creek examines how natural and human factors have shaped its form and function over time. For example, how erosion can affect the path a creek follows (form) and the aquatic and terrestrial habitats the stream supports (function).
The study will focus on:

- Identifying sewers, watermains and outfalls located within Yellow Creek that are at risk from erosion caused by flows from storms and snow melt runoff;
- Developing, evaluating and recommending solutions to reduce erosion impacts on sewers and
watermains, while improving aquatic and terrestrial habitats.
