24 Street SE Stormwater Pond and Ogden Landfill Remediation

Project update - August 2024

Project is now complete

This spring, we completed landscaping work which included applying and aerating the soil, moving materials, weeding, and planting more seeds this spring & summer. This was followed by about six weeks of watering – in adhering to applicable water restrictions – to ensure the longevity of the vegetation.

Over the life of the pond, anticipated ongoing maintenance activities may include emptying trash bins, weed control, and sediment removal from the underground oil grit separator system. Primarily native grasses have been seeded and will take time to fully establish. These grasses will not typically be mowed, except in areas selected for weed control purposes.

Thank you to all residents for your patience and understanding as we continue to work to improve our stormwater system and build part of the future LRT corridor.

Project Background

In 2021, The City of Calgary completed construction of a new dry storm pond on the northwest end of the former Ogden  Landfill (along 24 St. SE).

We have also completed the construction of an embankment adjacent to the storm pond  which will be part of the corridor for the future Green Line LRT.

The majority of work took place from July to December 2020, with a pause in work from January to mid-April 2021.

What we did in Spring 2021: 

  • Our contractor, Morgan Construction & Environmental LTD., and their subcontractors, completed landscaping activities such as; adding topsoil and seed placement, planting shrubs and trees, and installing stone edging as well as, benches.
  • Commissioned the storm sewer system components;
  • Removed existing fence along 24th St and installed a new fence on the east side of the pond;
  • Paved access points to and around the pond.

The construction of this project is now considered to be complete and the site is open to the public as of July 1, 2021.
