CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located on the east side of Altona Road and north of Sheppard Avenue,
1815 Altona Road, in the City of Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham. TRCA staff has been
approached by Rosemary Speirs regarding the donation of 1.27 hectares (3.02 acres), more or
less, of land which is located adjacent to Altona Forrest. Ms. Speirs has requested that the
donation be made under Environment Canada's Ecological Gift Program.
One of the requirements of Environment Canada for the eligibility of the property under the
Ecological Gift Program is to remove the existing buildings and restore the entire site to natural
habitat. The ecological restoration work will increase the habitat value within the larger Altona
Forest. Reforesting this area will provide additional buffering between Altona Road and the forest
interior, increasing the amount of interior forest. The acquisition of these lands by TRCA will
ensure the long term restoration and protection of this property and will enhance the adjacent
lands already within public ownership.
Resolution #A161/15 at Authority Meeting #8/15, held on September 25, 2015, approved the
Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2016-2020.
TRCA staff has conducted negotiations with Rosemary Speirs, her son John Deverell (Power of
Attorney) and her legal counsel Wes Brown.
Attached is a sketch illustrating the location of the subject lands.
RATIONALE
The acquisition of 1815 Altona Road, Pickering through the Federal Ecological Gift Program, will
not only expand the existing Altona Forest but allow for important restoration opportunities in
order to enhance ecological functions of the property.
The site, known as Cobble Hill, is located in the southwest corner of Altona Forest in Pickering
within the Petticoat Creek watershed. Altona Forest is part of TRCA's Terrestrial Natural Heritage
System as well as the City of Pickering's Natural Heritage System. The adjacent section of Altona
Forest was previously donated to TRCA by Dr. J. Murray Speirs, father of Rosemary Speirs and a
prominent ornithologist who used the site for scientific study. The majority of the forest is currently
in public ownership and protected from development.
Altona Forest is significant from a landscape perspective as it makes up 8% of the natural area in
the entire Petticoat Creek watershed. The forest's northern end is connected to the Rouge-Duffins
Wildlife Corridor which provides an important wildlife movement corridor between the Rouge
River watershed to the west and the Duffins Creek watershed to the east. This property helps to
link Altona Forest with the nearby Rouge National Urban Park, a large area of protected
greenspace. Furthermore, Altona Forest's relatively southern location makes this area an
important location for migrating songbirds travelling towards and from staging areas on the shores
of Lake Ontario.
While the site currently contains a few buildings (covering approximately 10% of the land), the
property is largely forested with three different forest communities: fresh moist sugar maple
hardwood deciduous forest, fresh moist white cedar hardwood deciduous forest, and native
deciduous successional woodland. The Altona Forest is the largest contiguous forest within the
Petticoat Creek watershed. The size and shape of the forest are important for the habitat quality
as they create two large areas of interior forest which are critical for providing habitat to area
sensitive bird species. The property is adjacent to a large wetland but also contains a small
duckweed wetland within the property itself.
Within Altona Forest there are 46 flora species of conservation concern, three of which are also
regionally rare: pointed broom sedge (Carex scoparia), wood's sedge (Carex woodii), and
prickly -ash (Zanthoxylum americanum). The endangered butternut (Juglans cinerea) was found
within the forest. Additionally, there are 21 bird species of conservation concern, as well as eight
herpetofauna and six mammals of conservation concern. Fifteen of the bird species found in the
forest are considered area sensitive as well as three of the frog species. Eastern wood peewee
(Contopus virens) is a species of special concern that was found to be using the forest habitat. A
complete list of flora and fauna species currently found at the site and within Altona Forest is
documented in the Altona Forest Terrestrial and Biological Inventory and Assessment.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
TRCA staff has made a submission to Environment Canada and is waiting for a certificate
confirming the ecologically sensitivity of the site, as required under the Ecological Gifts Program.
The firm of Wojas Appraisal Group Inc. was engaged to undertake an independent valuation of
the property. Their opinion of fee simple value of the property is $1,000,000. Once the Certificate
of Ecological Sensitive Land is received, the appraisal will be submitted to Environment Canada
for the appraisal review and determination process. After the review is completed Environment
Canada will issue a Notice of Determination of Fair Market Value of an Ecological Gift.
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
Based on TRCA's preliminary review of the environmental criteria for lands that are eligible to
receive a property tax exemption under the provincial Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program,
it would appear that portions of the subject property may be eligible for a tax exemption and the
remainder may be eligible once the restoration work has been completed. It is estimated that the
subject parcel of land yearly taxes will be $1,500. While it is expected that the subject parcel of
land will not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs at this location, an assessment of the
aggregate acquisitions in the area will be undertaken and the results will be integrated into
TRCA's land management program and associated budgets.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
TRCA staff has estimated the cost of demolition, restoration, Land Transfer Tax, HST, legal,
appraisal, environment audit and disconnection of services to be approximately $200,000. Staff is
currently attempting to source these funds through the Regional Municipality of Durham,
Federation of Canadian Municipalities, foundations such as the Gosling Foundation and the EJLB
Foundation, and other similar funding sources. Should alternate funding sources not be available,
land sale revenue is available for the costs related to this donation.

for a permanent easement required for Don River 30 Inch Natural Gas Pipeline
Replacement Project located south of Adelaide Street East and west of the Don River,
municipally known as 155 Bayview Avenue, in the City of Toronto, Don River watershed;
AND WHEREAS it is in the best interest of TRCA in furthering its objectives as set out in

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take the necessary action
to finalize the transaction, including obtaining any necessary approvals and the signing
and execution of documents.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Enbridge Gas Distribution has requested a permanent easement across TRCA-owned lands
required for Don River 30 Inch Natural Gas Pipeline Replacement Project, located south of
Adelaide Street East and west of the Don River, municipally known as 155 Bayview Avenue, in
the City of Toronto, Don River Watershed.
The Don River 30 Inch Natural Gas Pipeline Replacement Project proposes to abandon and
replace approximately 0.35km of Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) 30 inch Extra High Pressure steel
natural gas main. Currently, the NPS 30 is partially located on a bridge crossing the Don River.
The bridge and pipe crossing are at risk from flooding. If the bridge is compromised it could
impair the safe operation of the Don Valley Pipeline which supplies natural gas to downtown
Toronto.
The project requires a Leave to Construct application to be filed with the Ontario Energy Board
As such an Environmental Assessment was completed which included alternative routing and
proposed mitigation measures documented in an Environmental and Socio -Economic Impact
Assessment Report (ER) completed by Stantec on behalf of Enbridge Gas Distribution.
Alternate route options for the NPS 30 were considered. The final preferred route (micro
tunneling under the Don River) was selected based on the Environmental Report, public and
stakeholder consultation and constructability.
TRCA staff and Enbridge Gas Distribution staff have worked diligently on the project to ensure
the current Flood Protection Landform on the west side on the Don River will not be
compromised and the proposed future Flood Protection Landform on the east side of the Don
River can be built without compromising the proposed NPS 30.
The micro tunneling will commence on the TRCA's Corktown Common lands and proceed east
under the Don River and exit on the east side on the City of Toronto lands. The subject TRCA-
owned lands were acquired from Infrastructure Ontario, on June 26, 2015 under the Greenlands
Acquisition Project for 2011-2015.
Plantings
All lands disturbed by construction will be stabilized and, where deemed appropriate by TRCA
staff, revegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant material in accordance with existing
TRCA landscaping guidelines. A landscape plan will be prepared as part of the permit
application submission. Attachment 1 is a sketch illustrating the location of the permanent
easement.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The easement compensation is based on a market value appraisal by Antec Appraisal Group
which was reviewed by D. Bottero & Associates Limited. It is proposed that the unrestricted
easement fees be utilized as TRCA considers proper, in the pursuit of furthering its mandate.

RES.#B7/19 VOLUNTARY PROJECT REVIEW
Works Undertaken by Organizations Exempt from Ontario Regulation
166/06, As Amended. Summary report on the Voluntary Project Review of
works undertaken by organizations exempt from Ontario Regulation
166/06, as amended — Regulation of Development, Interference with
Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses, through
Voluntary Project Review letters issued during 2018.
Moved by: Jack Heath
Seconded by: Ronald Chopowick
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the summary information in this
report be received and that Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff be
directed to continue to work with Crown corporations undertaking environmental
assessments for infrastructure projects who are exempt from permits under Section 28 of
the Conservation Authorities Act to ensure that the five tests of Ontario Regulation 166/06,
as amended, control of flooding, erosion, pollution, conservation of land and dynamic
beaches, are addressed during the detailed design stage of these projects in 2018.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In 2014, the TRCA fee schedule provided an option for Crown corporations including provincial
and federal agencies, railways, and radio communication and broadcasting antenna system
providers to apply for Voluntary Project Review (VPR). These organizations are exempt from the
Conservation Authorities Act Section 28 regulatory approval process and permits are not
required. In the absence of the formal permitting process, TRCA has developed a process
whereby the party may voluntarily request TRCA to review and comment on detailed design
activities to confirm that TRCA policies and procedures are being addressed. Once TRCA
concerns are satisfied, a Voluntary Project Review Letter is provided by TRCA staff at the design
stage confirming TRCA objectives and requirements have been satisfied as set out in The Living
City Policies and Ontario Regulation 166/06, as amended.
TRCA has worked with multiple user groups in the environmental assessment and detailed
design review of various projects. To date, Metrolinx has made a commitment to ensure that
TRCA review of project details at the Environmental Assessment, pre -design and VPR stages are
completed in a streamlined and expeditious manner. TRCA has worked with Metrolinx in the
review of multiple projects related to both Metrolinx GO and Lightrail Transit (LRT) projects and
issued nine (9) VPR letters. In addition, TRCA also reviewed a project proposed by Ontario Power
Generation Inc. (OPG) and issued one (1) VPR letter. In total, TRCA issued ten (10) VPR letters
during 2018.
TRCA staff reviewed the projects listed below and ensured that mitigation measures included in
the design and construction plans address policy and technical concerns related to flood and
erosion controls, protection and restoration of natural heritage features, and erosion and
sediment controls. The majority of projects reviewed were related to Metrolinx GO and Metrolinx
Rapid Transit projects, as supported by service level agreements between TRCA and Metrolinx.
Metrolinxs has ensured that the public-private consortiums commissioned to undertake the
detailed design of these projects are required to obtain the TRCA VPR letter prior to construction.
As such, in 2018, TRCA will continue to review design details for Metrolinx's Lakeshore, Barrie
and Stouffville GO track and station expansions, SmartTrack stations, as well as the Eglinton and
Finch LRTs.
Staff continues to advocate the VPR process to other Crown corporations, including both the
Ministry of Transportation (and their public-private consortiums) and Parks Canada.

Section II — Items for Executive Committee Action
RES.#B8/19 - REQUEST FOR DISPOSAL OF TORONTO AND REGION
CONSERVATION AUTHORITY -OWNED LAND
25 Clairewood Court, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York,
Humber River Watershed (CFN 60350). Receipt of a request from Mr.
Mario Bottoni, for the conveyance of Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority -owned lands located north of Major Mackenzie Drive West and
east of Regional Road 27, in the City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality
of York, Humber River watershed.
Moved by: Ronald Chopowick
Seconded by: Paul Ainslie
THAT the potential disposal of a portion of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
(TRCA) owned property located at the rear of 25 Clairewood Court, City of Vaughan,
Regional Municipality of York, be referred to TRCA staff for review and discussion in
accordance with established TRCA policies;
AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future
date recommending further action.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
TRCA acquired the tableland buffer portion behind 25 Clairewood Court and the neighbouring
residential properties through the subdivision approval process in June of 2010. The acquisition
of this valley land buffer was for the purpose of protecting the valley edge from landscaping and
loading of the slope.
In June of 2013 permit C-130397 was issued for an in -ground pool, patio and shed construction
in the rear yard of 25 Clairewood Court. In June of 2015 permit C-150520 was issued for
additional landscape works and to facilitate the remainder of the in -ground pool and cabana
construction. In August 2018, TRCA Enforcement staff were made aware of a possible
encroachment onto TRCA land at the rear of 25 Clairewood Court. The City of Vaughan
requested that the developer Seven on the Ridge Developments Inc. undertake a survey to re-
establish the property boundaries. The survey confirmed that the owner had constructed the
cabana and landscape works beyond the limits of his property resulting in an encroachment
onto TRCA land and adjacent land owned by Seven on the Ridge Developments Inc.
TRCA staff met with the land owner Mario Bottoni on November 28, 2018 and subsequently
issued a letter requiring the removal of the encroachment by June 28, 2019. On December 4,
2018 TRCA received a letter from Mario Bottoni, requesting the sale of a fragment of TRCA-
owned land on which the encroachment is located.
In accordance with TRCA's policy Encroachment onto TRCA-owned Lands, TRCA Property
staff will circulate this request for disposal to TRCA technical staff as well as municipal staff for
review and comment. Staff will report to the Executive Committee on the comments received
and make a recommendation to either retain the property or declare it surplus. The proponent
will be advised of the results of the staff review at the time a report is prepared for the Executive
Committee. The proponent will have the opportunity to make a delegation at the Executive
Committee meeting when the matter is considered.

Directors of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), pursuant to Section
28 of the Conservation Authorities Act.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Conservation Authorities Act provides for a conservation authority to appoint officers to
enforce its regulations. Furthermore, the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry has
implemented, under the authority of Subsection 1(3) of the Provincial Offences Act, a class
designation process for all conservation authorities whereby any conservation authority officer
appointed under Section 28 (1)(d) of the Conservation Authorities Act shall be designated by the
Minister simultaneously as a Provincial Offences Officer. Once appointed, officers have the
authority to enforce offences and Regulations under the Conservation Authorities Act, in
addition to the Trespass to Property Act, when carrying out their duties within the jurisdiction of
the conservation authority.
The prerequisite to the Minister's Provincial Offences Officer appointment is that all candidate
officers:
i) Be adequately trained in the legislation to be enforced, including the Provincial
Offences Act,-
ii)
ct,ii) Have proof of a clean criminal record check, and;
iii) Be appointed as an officer to enforce conservation authority legislation at an official
board meeting.
Pursuant to the approval of the above noted appointment, the Minister's requirements will have
been addressed.
RATIONALE
Evan MacDonald is a full time Development Inspector within our Planning and Development
Division, and works within our Enforcement and Compliance Section. His duties include
conducting compliance inspections of TRCA approved permit sites, responding to stakeholder
complaints and addressing non-compliance issues associated with TRCA planning and
permitting processes. This appointment will enable him to assist with the authority's regulatory
requirements and compliance objectives.

Attachments: 2
Attachment 1: Background Information
Attachment 2: TRCA staff appointments as Officers
Attachment 1: Background Information
The Conservation Authorities Act, s.28(1)(d) and 28(1)(e), allows for the appointment of officers
to enforce s.28 (Ont. Reg. 166/06 - natural hazard/ natural heritage regulation) and s.29
(Ontario Regulation 119 - lands owned by the authority).
In 1999, the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) implemented, under the
authority of s.1(3) of the Provincial Offences Act, a class designation process for conservation
authority officers that simultaneously designated them as Provincial Offences Officers. This
provided officers the ability to enforce both the conservation authority regulations and the
Trespass to Property Act (TPA).
This appointment is contingent on candidates meeting the following prerequisites:
• Being adequately trained in the legislation being enforced, including the Provincial
Offences Act;
• Having proof of a clean criminal background;
• being appointed as an officer at an official Board Meeting.
TRCA has established a tradition of appointing officers in three distinct categories:
1. Enforcement Officers appointed on a full time basis to establish compliance with, and to
enforce our legislation (Ont. Reg. 166/06, Ontario Regulation 119 and TPA).
Enforcement Officers play an important role in the Authority's objectives to prevent,
eliminate, or reduce the risk to life and property from flooding, erosion and slope
instability, and to encourage the protection, enhancement and enjoyment of the natural
systems, recreational facilities and landholdings.
Enforcement Officers actively participate in environmental and construction compliance
and protection initiatives within our regulatory jurisdiction, in addition to public safety and
land use infractions. This position entails conducting regular compliance audits/
inspections of TRCA Planning and Development permit sites, responding to public
inquiries and complaints regarding the Authority's permitting processes, addressing
unauthorized activities on our landholdings, and participating in TRCA River Watch
program associated with our corporate flood forecasting and warning responsibilities.
Officers routinely interact with other internal TRCA business units, and liaise closely with
external partnering agencies, including our member municipalities and federal and
provincial agencies. Officers maintain communications with developers, consultants,
contractors, special interest groups, stakeholders, landowners, and the general public to
address our compliance objectives and promote awareness of TRCA's initiatives.
Officers maintain accurate records and reports, negotiate compliance with our
legislation, conduct investigations, and initiate legal action for significant unlawful
activities.
The position of Development Inspector, within the Enforcement and Compliance Section,
is an important supporting role for Enforcement Officers regarding the monitoring of
TRCA approved permit sites, negotiating compliance with permit plans and imposed
conditions, and responding to public inquiries and complaints associated with our
regulatory jurisdiction.
2. Provincial Offences Officers consist of full time employees within our Parks and Culture
Division, and the appointment provides staff members the ability to enforce s.29 of the
Conservation Authorities Act (Ontario Regulation 119 and TPA).
The designations of senior Conservation Parks staff and supervisors within our
conservation areas provide the required authority to address public safety concerns,
compliance issues, unauthorized land use activities, and aid in the protection and
promotion of family oriented recreational facilities on our landholdings. These staff
members are primarily responsible for overseeing the operations and maintenance of
our conservation areas and campgrounds, supervision of seasonal staff members, and
for divisional business planning. Although their job function is not enforcement oriented,
staff will engage in the enforcement and compliance role based on availability and when
deemed appropriate and safe to do so. Provincial Offences Officers within our
Conservation Parks provide a great deal of value to the organization and the public, and
represent the Authority's compliance interests in a professional manner.
Appointed staff members identify and address compliance issues associated with
unauthorized land use activities, aid in mitigating risk, liaise with and work alongside
TRCA Enforcement Officers on strategic weekend shifts/ patrols, supervise site
operations of our contracted security provider, and arrange for special paid duty patrols
of police in order to promote the safety and enjoyment of our conservation areas and
campgrounds. Threats to TRCA staff and the public, and issues involving criminal
activities, are referred to local police agencies and documented for internal records and
reporting.
3. Administrative Enforcement Officers consists of our Chief Executive Officer and senior
staff members within our Planning and Development Division (Senior Director, Associate
Directors, Senior Managers, Managers, Senior Planners).
Although there is no legislative requirement within our Act to have permits signed/
authorized by an Enforcement Officer, Section 3(3) of Ont. Reg. 166/06 identifies a
requirement to have the Executive Committee or designate staff member(s) with
respects to granting permissions (permits) for approvals issued under s.28 of the Act.
3(3) Subject to subsection (4), the Authority's executive committee, or one or more
employees of the Authority that have been designated by the Authority for the purposes
of this section, may exercise the powers and duties of the Authority under subsections
(1) and (2) with respect to the granting of permissions for development in or on the areas
described in subsection 2 (1). O. Reg. 82/13, s. 2.
TRCA has a tradition of having permissions/ permits signed by Enforcement Officers,
and these particular administrative appointments are solely for this purpose, and not
intended to provide designations to enforce provisions of the Act or our regulations.
TRCA currently has a total of:
• Five (5) full time appointed Enforcement Officers
• One (1) full time Development Inspector (appointment pending)
• Ten (10) appointed Provincial Offences Officer within our Conservation Parks
• Sixteen (16) administrative appointments for the purposes of s. 3(3) of Ont. Reg. 166/06

RES.#B10/19 - INSTALLATION OF AUTOMATIC GATE ENTRY SYSTEMS
Heart Lake and Petticoat Creek Conservation Areas. Award of Contract
#10008808 for the Installation of Automatic Gate Entry Systems at Heart
Lake and Petticoat Creek Conservation Areas.
Moved by: Ronald Chopowick
Seconded by: John Ainslie
THAT Contract #10008808 for the Installation of Automatic Gate Entry Systems at Heart
Lake and Petticoat Creek Conservation Areas be awarded to Hawkins Contracting
Services Ltd. at a total cost not to exceed $123,863, plus 20% contingency, plus HST, it
being the lowest bid compliant with TRCA specifications.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Petticoat Creek Conservation Area (CA) and Heart Lake CA see over 130,000 and 180,000
visitors respectively each year. The front gates at both parks are staffed by attendants during
peak operating hours in order to provide customer service and process payment upon entry. The
existing entry and exit points to the parks do not have any means of traffic control, making it
difficult for staff to enforce traffic flow, and to discourage vehicles using the exit gate as an entry
point. Staff also lack the ability to close the exit as may be required by police services during
emergencies, such as a missing child. In addition, incidents involving threats and injuries
sustained by staff from the public running through the entry points to avoid paying entry fees have
increased over the past year. These incidents are a serious concern to the health and safety of
staff and visitors that must be addressed.
To address these concerns, staff is proceeding with the implementation of an automatic entry and
exit gate system in order to: (1) create a greater level of controlled access and exit points; (2)
reduce the risk of physical harm to staff and the public; and (3) ensure that each car comes to a
complete stop upon entering and exiting the park. Furthermore, the gate system being installed
will have the ability to be integrated with known automatic payment software system that can be
installed upon availability of funding.
Staff conducted an assessment of all Parks and Culture managed facilities to determine the need
and urgency for automatic gate systems and prioritized this assessment against available annual
budgets. The results are as follows:
• Black Creek Pioneer Village and Bruce's Mill CA already have systems in place;
• Petticoat Creek CA and Heart Lake CA have the highest need for a system due to the
aforementioned traffic control issues, and health and safety risks;
• Albion Hills CA, Claireville CA, Indian Line Campground and Boyd CA currently see less
incidents involving threats and injuries, however, they will also require automatic gate
systems upon funding availability to better control access and exit points, enforce traffic
flow, and be integrated with an automatic payment software system;
• Glen Rouge Campground will be undergoing an extensive redevelopment plan with Parks
Canada for Rouge Park and access control is one of the projects that needs to be
addressed as part of this redevelopment; and
• Glen Haffy CA is the lowest priority due to limited traffic volumes and no health and safety
incidents recorded to date. As such, TRCA is not planning to install an automatic gate
system at this time.
In 2018, TRCA retained the services of landscape architecture firm Harrington McAvan Ltd. and
electrical engineering firm MJS Consultants Inc. to complete the design of the automatic gate
entry systems at Heart Lake and Petticoat Creek CAs. The automatic gate system will include:
automated entry and exit control gates with magnetic loops and arms; control panels and key
pads; traffic separation barriers; concrete islands; curbs; and a cable and duct system. The
system specified is compatible with known automatic payment software system.
RATIONALE
