Hamilton Escarpment ESA The Hamilton Escarpment ESA is immediately to the north of the Greenhill subwatershed and runs along the escarpment boundary. See Hamilton Escarpment ESA Natural Areas Inventory Site Summary provided. Why Protect ESAs? Hamilton, like many other municipalities, identifies significant natural areas in its Official Plan as a means to protect natural areas and ecological functions. These areas are an important part of what makes Hamilton a great city. Hamilton has a wealth of significant natural areas that improve the quality of our air, water, and lives. Also, the Provincial Government, through the Planning Act, Provincial Policy Statement, Niagara Escarpment Plan, and Greenbelt Plan, requires that municipalities develop policies to protect natural heritage features. By identifying Core Areas and providing policies to protect and enhance them, the City of Hamilton ensures that these areas and the important functions they provide are preserved for the benefit of everyone. The above is information from the City of Hamilton Website: City of Hamilton. “Environmentally Significant Areas Impact Evaluation Group." http://www.hamilton.ca/CityDepartments/PlanningEcDev/Divisions/Planning/CommunityPlanning/NaturalH eritage/ESAIEG/?WT.mc_id=ESAIEG&WT.hamilton_redirect_friendly=1, City of Hamilton. 2012.
