and the signing and execution of any documents.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
On May 2, 2012, TRCA was notified of the Toronto Council decision on April 10 and 11, 2012 to
direct Toronto Water to enter into a joint initiative with TRCA to lead an Environmental
Assessment Study that considers a landform south of the Ashbridge's Bay Wastewater
Treatment Plant, to provide for the construction of the Coatsworth Cut stormwater treatment
wetland and combined sewer overflow high -rate treatment facility, and that integrates these
projects with other projects planned for the area.
At Authority Meeting #5/12, held on June 22, 2012, RES.#A96/12 provided staff direction to lead
the Environmental Assessment Study, in collaboration with Toronto Water, Parks, Forestry and
Recreation, Toronto Waterfront Secretariat, and Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation.
TRCA then proceeded to undertake a Conservation Ontario Class Environmental Assessment
(Class EA) to support the advancement of the project, resulting in the study entitled
"Ashbridge's Bay Erosion and Sediment Control Project — Conservation Ontario Class EA".
This Class EA study identified a preferred alternative that consists of erosion and sediment
control structures that integrate with the lakefill area required for the City's planned facilities and
provides a long-term solution to address the sedimentation issue with the Coatsworth Cut
navigation channel which TRCA currently maintains through a $250,000 per year dredging
program.
In June 2014, Toronto City Council authorized the finalization of the Environmental Study
Report for the Class EA and authorized Toronto Water to undertake the detailed design of the
Ashbridge's Bay Treatment Plant Landform Project as a joint initiative to be led by TRCA. In
2017, TRCA coordinated the detailed design for the Ashbridge's Bay Treatment Plant Landform,
incorporating the approved design concepts as outlined in the City of Toronto's Coatsworth Cut
and Don River and Central Waterfront EAs and TRCA's Ashbridge's Bay Erosion and Sediment
Control EA. The detailed design process was completed in 2018. Permits/authorizations have
been submitted to Transport Canada and Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Once these are
approved a Harbour Master Authorization application will be submitted to Ports Toronto (July
2019).
The final design of the Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant Landform Project consists of
approximately 27 ha of new land (lakefill) and is composed three distinct elements:
• a 16.4 ha land base protected by an armour stone headland -cobble beach system and a
rip rap revetment;
• a 710 m long central breakwater, constructed from the west side of Coatsworth Cut; and
• a smaller 100 m long east breakwater, constructed from the southernmost headland of
Ashbridges Bay Park.
Given the scope of the Landform Project, an estimated five to six-year phased approach is
required to construct the works commencing in 2019. The phases are as follows and depicted in
the map included as Attachment 1:
• Phase 1 — Construction of the Cell 1 confinement berm for the land base, filling of Cell 1,
and construction of the headland -beach system and submerged shoals associated with
Cell 1
• Phase 2 — Construction of the east breakwater
• Phase 3 — Construction of the Cell 2 confinement berm for the land base, filling of Cell 2,
and construction of the headland -beach system and submerged shoals associated with
Cell 2
• Phase 4 — Construction of the central breakwater
• Phase 5 — Construction of the Cell 3 confinement berm (revetment) for the land base
and filling of Cell 3
Construction of the central and east breakwaters will be contracted out and the supply and
placement of the required rip rap and armourstone will be by barge. This method was chosen
because of site access limitations. For the east breakwater this method will also minimize
impacts to Ashbridges Bay Park users. The central and east breakwater in tandem will provide a
long-term solution to address the sedimentation issue within the Coatsworth Cut Navigation
channel and alleviate annual dredging costs.
As the east breakwater provides requisite protection to the central breakwater and the eastern
portion of the land base, it will be constructed first. Construction of the eastern breakwater is
anticipated to take one construction season and is scheduled to run from August 1st, 2019 to
December 31st, 2020.
Because of its length, and difficulty in winter barge construction, the central breakwater has
been divided into three construction seasons with three separate mobilizations and
demobilizations. Construction will be undertaken between July 151, 2020 to December 315
2022.
RATIONALE
At Board of Directors meeting #4/19, held on April 26, 2019, RES.#A58/19 provided staff with
direction to negotiate and enter into and execute one or more service agreements with the City
of Toronto to construct the Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant Landform. TRCA is currently
working with Toronto Water to finalize an interim letter agreement and licence agreement for
pre -construction planning and mobilization. Circulation of the draft implementation agreement
for TRCA is pending.
TRCA has undertaken the necessary pre -planning procurement to put the project in a position
to move forward with construction upon execution of the implementation agreement with the
City of Toronto. Request for Pre -Qualification (RFPQ) statements for general contractors to pre -
qualify for construction services for the central and east breakwater was publicly advertised on
the electronic procurement website Biddingo (www.biddingo.com) on March 7, 2019. General

RES.#B83/19 - ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT WITH HEIDI FRANCIS FALCKH
Request to enter into an encroachment agreement with Heidi Francis
Falckh as a means of resolving an encroachment for an armour stone
retaining wall and wooden deck structure partially located on Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) owned land adjacent to 290
Nashville Road, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, Humber
River watershed. CFN 54792
Moved by: Jack Heath
Seconded by: Ronald Chopowick
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority (TRCA) enter into an encroachment agreement with Heidi Francis Falckh as a
means of resolving an encroachment for an amour stone retaining wall and wood deck
structure partially located on Toronto and Region Conservation Authority -owned land
described as Part 1 on Plan 64R-4108 located adjacent to 290 Nashville Road, City of
Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, Humber River watershed.
THAT the encroachment agreement includes the key following terms and conditions:
(i) that the use of the land for the encroaching structure be for the nominal sum
of $2.00;
(ii) at any time TRCA has the option to request removal of the retaining wall and
deck structure and upon request, the owner agrees to do so within 180 days at
their sole cost;
(iii) that the retaining wall and deck structure is to be maintained by the owner at
its sole cost, used in the same manner as present and is not to be enlarged or
altered;
(iv) that the owner accepts the lands at their risk and shall at all times indemnify,
save harmless and defend TRCA from any claims arising out of the
encroachment;
(v) that the owner will maintain public liability and property damage insurance in
an amount of $5,000,000 naming TRCA as an additional insured, throughout
the duration of the agreement;
(vi) the owner is responsible for all costs associated with the preparation and
registration of the encroachment agreement including TRCA's legal costs.
THAT any other terms and conditions of the agreement be satisfactory to TRCA staff and
solicitor;
AND FURTHER THAT authorized officials be directed to take the necessary action to
implement the agreement including obtaining any approvals and the signing and
execution of documents.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In 2015 an encroachment comprising amour stone retaining walls, a wooden deck structure and
safety rail came to the attention of TRCA staff. In September 2015, TRCA staff met with the
owner and the owner's spouse and representative, to view the encroachments. The area of
concern comprises a number of closely located tiered armour stone retaining walls and a
triangular portion of a deck situated on the western boundary that encroaches approximately
five metres onto TRCA owned land. These walls retain a significant amount of fill materials,
which are placed at a very steep angle. A section of the lower armour stone retaining wall has
encroached onto TRCA owned land.
Based upon geotechnical staff review, the removal of the encroaching portion of the lower
retaining wall is not feasible due to the steep slope and significant amount of fill being retained.
Removal of the encroaching wall could initiate further movement of the fill materials behind the
wall. As the upper retaining walls are connected to the lower retaining walls, it is anticipated that
the upper walls would also be vulnerable to failure if there was movement of the existing fill
materials caused by removal of the lower wall. It is recommended that the encroaching portion
of the wall not be removed to mitigate any further adverse effects to the slope.
Accordingly, the owner has requested that TRCA enter into an agreement as a way of resolving
that portion of the encroaching retaining wall and associated deck structure.
The subject TRCA-owned lands were acquired from Humber Estates Co. Ltd., on 22 October
1974 under the Humber River Flood Plain Lands project.
Attachment 1 is a sketch illustrating the location of the subject lands and the location of the
encroachment. Attachment 2 is an orthophoto illustrating the location of the subject lands and
the location of the encroachment.
RATIONALE
An encroachment agreement will appropriately transfer the risk and liability of the encroaching
structures to the owner and regulate its ongoing use, while ensuring that the structure can
remain in place and mitigate any adverse effects to the slope.

This report supports the following strategy set forth in the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan:
Strategy 4 — Create complete communities that integrate nature and the built
environment
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The owner is responsible for all costs of the preparation and registration of the encroachment
agreement.

In 2013, the City of Toronto's Toronto Water Division approached TRCA to assist with the
management of the City's stormwater management ponds (SWMPs). At Authority Meeting
#7/13, held on September 27, 2013, Resolution #A141/13 approved the TRCA partnership with
the City of Toronto for the maintenance of the seven identified SWMPs as follows:
THAT approval be granted for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to
enter into a partnership with the City of Toronto for the delivery of a stormwater
management pond maintenance and clean-out program;
Following successful completion of the first seven SWMP maintenance projects, Toronto Water
retained TRCA to prepare, complete and deliver to the City, maintenance plans for an additional
ten (10) SWMPs, which was completed by the TRCA in August 2018.
Of the 10 SWMP maintenance plans prepared by TRCA, eight SWMPs were recommended by
Toronto Water for maintenance. On March 21, 2019, Toronto Water and TRCA entered into an
agreement (Contract #19TW-CTS-1 OCWD) for the maintenance of eight SWMPs identified as:
1. SCWP053 — Willowlea Park
2. ETWP002 — Wincott Park Wetland
3. TOWP001 — Greenwood Pond
4. SCWP042 — Intracorp Pond
5. ETWP014D — Ellis Ave. & Colborne Lodge Dr. (W11) Wetland
6. SCWP055 — Greywood South Bridlewood Pond
7. SCWP056 — Greywood South Pinemeadow Pond
8. SCWP041 — Tapscott Industrial Pond
Toronto Water currently manages, operates and maintains dozens of SWMPs including wet
ponds, treatment wetlands and dry ponds. The accumulation of sediment in these SWMPs are
adversely impacting design performance, requiring maintenance primarily involving dredging to
restore functionality. Their performance is related to sediment accumulation and available water
storage, which is critical to the retention and treatment of stormwater that protects the
surrounding areas from localized flooding and improves downstream water quality.
As part of the scope of work for these eight maintenance projects, the sediment accumulated in
each pond will be dredged, stockpiled and mixed with a solidification reagent. Once the
character of the sediment becomes like that of wet cement, it is loaded into tri -axles for off-site
hauling to an appropriate disposal facility.
TRCA has over 38 years of experience in the planning, design, construction, maintenance and
monitoring of restoration projects that include streams, wetlands and storm ponds. TRCA is
ideally suited to carry out SWMP maintenance for municipal partners within sensitive areas
because of the full range of services offered internally: design, approvals, survey, public
consultation, implementation and site restoration, assessments and monitoring.
The eight SWMPs vary in location, type (wet pond / treatment wetlands), drainage area and
watershed they service, sediment accumulation and type of control (quantity control/quality
control) they provide.
TRCA estimates that there is an accumulation of up to 5,970 m' of sediment to be removed in
order to restore the eight SWMPs to their original design specifications.
RATIONALE
Request for Tender (RFT) #10020873 was publicly advertised on the electronic
procurement website Biddingo.com on June 711, 2019 for the haulage and disposal of dredged

BACKGROUND
The Pan Am Path is a multi -use recreational trail network that connects Brampton to Pickering
through the City of Toronto. The majority of the Pan Am Path travels through river valley and
hydro corridors, with certain sections detouring along municipal roads. In 2013, the City of
Toronto committed to undertaking new trail initiatives to remove these detours and achieve full
trail connectivity. In the summer of 2014, the City of Toronto approached the Engineering
Projects Business Unit in the Restoration and Infrastructure Division to undertake the Upper
Highland Creek at Ellesmere Road Pan Am Path Connection project. This project aims
to develop an important trail connection through the Highland Creek Valley
Corridor to Morningside Park.
In April 2016, the detailed design contract for this project was awarded to Aquafor Beech
Limited (ABL). The Phase 1 design was completed in April 2019, and the designs for phases 2
and 3 of the project will be further developed in 2020 and beyond.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to undertake works within TRCA's Regulated Area in order to
facilitate the construction of a 20,071.38 sq.m (216,046.53 sq.ft) addition to the existing
industrial warehouse facility located at 4-6 Manchester Court in the Town of Caledon. Site works
also include the construction of an associated parking lot as well as a wetland compensation
and upland enhancement area. The works are associated with a municipal Site Plan application
(Town File: SP18-0017) and building permit.
The subject property is located on the west side of Bolton, along a Canadian Pacific Rail
corridor. The front portion of the site currently contains two industrial warehouse facilities and
associated truck parking area while the rear portion of the property is vacant of any structures.
On June 28, 2017, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) conducted an site
visit of the vacant portion of the property with TRCA staff. Based on this site visit, it was
determined that the rear portion of the site contains three (3) separate Provincially Significant
Wetland (PSW) units as well as seven (7) small isolated wetland units which were not deemed
to be significant. The rear portion of the site also contains a small headwater drainage feature
which conveys minor flows from the site to a culvert located under the rail corridor.
The proposed works associated with this permit includes the construction of a rear addition to
the southernmost existing industrial warehouse. The proposed addition and its associated
parking area will be located on the currently vacant portion of the subject lands. In order to
facilitate construction of the works, removal of the isolated wetland units as well as the
headwater drainage feature will be required. Based on an assessment of the features by a
qualified environmental consultant (Savanta), the isolated wetland features equal a total of 0.38
hectares and are largely dominated by invasive species (phragmites). No rare plants or
amphibians were observed in these wetlands. A headwater drainage feature assessment was
also conducted by the environmental consultant where it was determined that the headwater
drainage feature on site do not provide direct fish habitat.
In order to compensate for the removal of the isolated wetland units, the applicant is proposing
to construct five new wetland vegetation communities as well as an upland enhancement area
on the north-west portion of the site (i.e. the Wetland Compensation and Upland Enhancement
Area or WCUEA). A large bioswale will also be constructed along the north side of the property
to replicate the function of the headwater drainage features to be removed. The wetland
compensation is proposed to exceed a 1:1 removal to compensation ratio, resulting in a total
area of 0.40 hectares of new wetland habitat. An additional 0.14 hectares of upland shrub
thicket habitat and 0.05 hectares of nodal shrub and tree plantings are also proposed to be
planted within the WCUEA. The goal of the proposed WCUEA is to establish a healthy and
diverse ecosystem that replicates the ecological functions and size of the non-significant
features slated for removal. The re-created wetlands will include online pools that provide
appropriate breeding habitat for frogs and other species that share similar habitat preferences.
Furthermore, additional wildlife enhancement features such as turtle basking logs, raptor
perching poles and wildlife brush piles will also be implemented. Water flow will be directed to
the WCUEA from one of the nearby PSW units as well as clean rooftop drainage from the
adjacent industrial warehouse in order to support the planted vegetation communities. The
proposed warehouse addition is appropriately setback from both the existing and proposed
wetland features.
In addition to constructing the WCUEA, the applicant has also committed to conducting
monitoring for a five (5) year period. The monitoring program will include assessments of
planted vegetation as well as surveys of wetland hydrology and flora and fauna. Through this
permit, the property owner has agreed to application specific conditions which will ensure the
monitoring program is funded and executed for its entire proposed duration. Given the above,
TRCA staff do not have any ecology concerns with this application. Furthermore, there are no
flooding or geotechnical related concerns as well.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Floodplain. As such, there are no
anticipated impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
A detailed erosion and sediment control plan has been developed by the applicant and will be
implemented for the duration of construction to prevent the migration of sediment into the
adjacent natural features.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns anticipated with this project.
Conservation of Land:
The removal of multiple isolated wetland units as well as a headwater drainage feature will be
required to facilitate the proposed development. The removal of low functioning natural features
will total 0.38 hectares. In order to compensate the removal of these features, the applicant is
proposing to construct 0.40 hectares of new wetland habitat as well as an additional 0.14
hectares of upland shrub thicket and 0.05 hectares of nodal shrub and tree plantings (i.e. the
Wetland Compensation and Upland Enhancement Area or WCUEA). Once complete, the
WCUEA will result in a high functioning ecological system which exceeds a 1:1 replacement
ratio. The project will result in a net ecological gain.
Plantings
Once earthworks for the WCUEA are complete, a comprehensive restoration plan will be
implemented. The plantings will consist of emergent shallow marsh, thicket swamp,
meadow marsh, upland cultural meadow and upland tree and shrub plantings. All
proposed plantings will be native and non-invasive consistent with TRCA's guidelines.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 8.4 - General Regulation Policies - of The Living City
Policies (LCP) for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority.
