Stormwater Management Master Plan (SWMMP) Update
The Township of King is updating its Stormwater Management Master Plan (SWMMP).
What is a Stormwater Management Master Plan?
A Stormwater Management Master Plan is a strategic planning document that guides how a municipality manages stormwater runoff across its entire community. It considers:
Existing infrastructure such as storm sewers, culverts, and ponds.
Environmental protection, including water quality and habitat preservation.
Flood risk reduction and climate change resiliency.
The plan uses data, modeling, and best practices to identify priority projects, policies, and programs that maintain and improve stormwater systems over time.
The Township of King is updating its Stormwater Management Master Plan through the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) process. See below article for more information on the EA process.
Why is it Important?
Stormwater management is critical for:
Reducing flooding risks and protecting public safety.
Preventing erosion and property damage.
Safeguarding local watercourses and ecosystems.
Supporting sustainable development while meeting regulatory requirements.
Planning for climate change impacts, such as more frequent and intense storms.
By updating the SWMMP, the Township ensures its infrastructure and policies remain effective, efficient, and environmentally responsible for years to come.
Stay tuned for updates, as the Township moves forward with this important initiative.

The Township of King is updating its Stormwater Management Master Plan through the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) process. This process helps municipalities identify stormwater challenges, explore solutions, and develop a long-term plan that balances community needs, environmental protection, and financial responsibility.
1. Identify the Problem or Opportunity
The study begins by gathering information about the existing stormwater system and understanding current and future challenges, such as flooding, infrastructure capacity, growth, environmental impacts, and climate change. This information is used to define the problems that need to be addressed and the opportunities for improvement.
2. Develop and Evaluate Alternative Solutions
Once the key issues are understood, a range of possible solutions is developed and evaluated. These may include infrastructure upgrades, stormwater management facilities, low-impact development measures and other strategies. Each option is assessed based on environmental, social, technical, and financial considerations.
3. Select a Preferred Solution
After reviewing the alternatives and considering public and stakeholder feedback, a preferred solution is identified. The preferred solution represents the approach that best meets the study objectives while providing long-term benefits to the community and environment.
4. Prepare the Master Plan
The preferred solution is documented in a Stormwater Management Master Plan that outlines recommended projects, policies, priorities, and implementation strategies. The plan serves as a roadmap for future stormwater investments and improvements across the Township
