InfiltrationUnderground Infiltration Chambers – South Underpass
Storage volume1,500.0 m³

Proposed underground infiltration chambers beneath 3 m wide multi-use path on west side of Birch Avenue near south underpass (Bridge 332). Infiltration rate ~10 mm/hour. Deemed infeasible due to Hydro One corridor constraints.

InfiltrationUnderground Infiltration Chambers – North Underpass
Storage volume3,400.0 m³

Proposed underground infiltration chambers beneath 3 m wide multi-use path on west side of Birch Avenue near north underpass (Bridge 330). Deemed infeasible due to Hydro One corridor constraints.

Underground storageStorm Pumping Station – South Underpass (Bridge 332)
Outletpipe

Wet pit pumping station proposed at south underpass. Required pump capacity: 0.28 m3/s (Option 1), 0.18 m3/s (Option 2), 0.026 m3/s (Option 3 – preferred). Station footprint 12m x 15m. Located in Birch Avenue Dog Park area (old landfill – geotechnical study required).

Underground storageStorm Pumping Station – North Underpass (Bridge 330)
Outletpipe

Wet pit pumping station proposed at north underpass, northwest quadrant of Birch Avenue and Burlington Street East. Required pump capacity: 0.78 m3/s (Option 1), 0.58 m3/s (Option 2), 0.043 m3/s (Option 3 – preferred). Station footprint 15m x 20m (Options 1 & 2) or 11m x 8m (Option 3).

How to read this page. Every value above was extracted from the source PDF by the PARCELFLOW report parser, which combines a layout-robust template detector with a validated extraction stage tuned to Ontario Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management reports. The four-category scorecard maps the parsed evidence onto Mississauga's credit bylaw. Numbers are estimates — engineering review still required before submitting a formal credit application to the City.
