Newmarket
Newmarket’s Oak Ridges Moraine Area is small but highly regulated, limited to Natural Core and Settlement Area designations, with the Town treating the ORM boundary and Natural Core mapping as effectively. Because this edge area sits within the East Holland headwaters zone on the ORM’s sandy, high-infiltration landscape, even minor changes in stormwater, grading, or servicing can translate into cumulative impacts on flow and water quality downstream.
