CREEK CHARACTERISTICS

Upper Mill Creek

• Stream development not well-defined
• Characterized by broad marshy areas
• Large proportion of precipitation infiltrates directly or through localized depressions
• Locally gaining/losing stream that conveys little flow at Watson Road (Conc. 10)
• Much infiltration discharges to Central Mill Creek further downstream, west of Victoria Rd.
  
  

Arkell Bog Tributary

• Promotes infiltration and relatively little runoff
• Bog is a localized storage feature conveying intermittent flow south to a reservoir/dam structure
• Enters extensive Class 1 wetland north-west of County Rd. 34, an important storage and re-infiltration source

• Significant groundwater discharge between Victoria and Brock Roads, both east and west of Flow Split
• Flows increase 8 to 9 times
• Approximately 30% of flow diverted to Mini-Lakes Tributary at Flow Split
