O’Connor Park is located on Bala Drive in the west end of Mississauga, ON. in the Sawmill Creek subwatershed, that later flows into the Credit River and Lake Ontario. The primary LID installation completed in the park were [[Bioretention]], [[Bioswales]], [[Permeable pavement]], and [[Infiltration trenches]], running along the soccer fields on site that later drains into the pre-existing small natural [[Wetlands]] and nearby pond.

This study by TRCA evaluates the effectiveness of two lined, filtration-only [[Bioswales]] (i.e., biofilter swales) retrofitted into a portion of the right-of-way of County Court Boulevard, a medium-traffic collector road in the City of Brampton. Scheduling of road maintenance work by the Public Works and Transportation department in 2014 provided the opportunity to retrofit biofilter swales for stormwater treatment within the road right-of-way. Effectiveness of the biofilter swales retrofit project was examined with respect to the following:
• Runoff volume and pollutant load reduction;
• Effects on effluent temperature;
• Effects of winter operation on treatment performance and maintenance needs, and;
• Life cycle cost of total suspended solids removal over a 50 year life cycle.
