Metro Region Conservation was formed in 1957 out of the merger of the Etobicoke- Mimico, Humber Valley, Don River, and the Rouge-Duffin-Highland-Petticoat authorities. Over the past 30 years, much has been accomplished to reduce the risk and damage from flooding, to acquire and reforest conservation lands in our valleys and headwaters, to regulate flood plain development for erosion and shoreline protection, to implement the Metro waterfront Plan (exclusive of the central waterfront I and 'to provide unparalleled recreation, cultural, and educational opportunities in conservation areas, the Kortright Centre for Conservation, Black Creek Pioneer Village, conservation field centres, and forest and wildlife reserves. The l2,OOO hectares of Authority lands also provide a base for much of the Metro Toronto Parks system, the Ontario Science Centre, the Metro Zoo, and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. Within the Annual Report, you will find information on various programs and the many achievements made possible by the co-operation and support of our member municipalities - The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, The Regional Municipalities of Durham, Peel, and York, the Townships of Adjala and Mono, and the Province of Ontario. Much has been achieved by the initiative, foresight, and co- operation of many people and agencies which deserve our recognition and appreciation. Looking ahead, Metro Region Conservation faces a unique situation. It has one- third of Ontario's population within its jurisdiction and is the most populated and rapidly urbanizing region in Canada. It is estimated that by the year 2000, one- half of our 3,500 square kilometre area will be fully urbanized. This unprecedent~d surge of r.esidential, commercial, and industrial development raises many concerns for the impact it can have on all aspects of our natural environment or our "green space." It can lead to degraded water quality, increased flooding and erosion, and an overall reduction in the character and quality of our river. valley systems. Faced with these concerns, Metro Region Conservation evaluated the adequacy ~f its current programs in 1987, and has begun the process of revising its strategies to cope with, or lessen, the negative impacts of new development pressures. The main objective of these strategies will be to conserve and enhance those natural features and their access, considered so important to the quality of life for watershed communities and residents. In 1988, new strategies and plans will be forthcoming to deal with such issues as more effective protection of our headwater areas - including the Oak Ridges Moraine and the nine river basins of the Authority - and the extension of the pilot Rouge River study to the other basins. Also, Metro Region Conservation will prepare a revised Metro waterfront plan to deal with urgent issues of growth, access, funding, landfill, land acquisition, shore protection, and management of enviromental zones. Indeed, the future holds many challenges, but by working together, the opportunities to advance conservation will be every bit as great in the next 30 years as they have been in the past." GREETINGS FROM THE MINISTER OF NATURAL RESOURCES The Chairman welcomed Mr. Arthur Holder, Director, Central Region, Ministry of Natural Resources, and formerly Director of Fisheries for Ontario, to the Annual Meeting of the Authority. MR. ART HOLDER "Mr. Chairman, Members of the Authority, and guests: on behalf of the Minister of Natural Resources, I would like to thank you for inviting me to your Thirty-Second Annual Meeting, and to congratulate you on thirty-one years of successful conservation work. A-lO -10- Last year was a very busy year for the Authority and the Ministry, and it appears that 1988 will be just as busy. We look forward to working with you on such activities as the Tommy Thompson Park planning exercise, the ambitious Ten-Year Strategy for the Use of Authority Lands, the completion of the Rouge River Watershed Study, .. . and erosion control works. With the acqulsition of the Don Valley Brickyards and the imminent transfer of the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital site, it appears it will also be active from the Hazard and Conservation Land standpoint. The Ministry has been active in such initiatives as the Inter-Ministerial Review Committee to Examine the Responsibilities, Accountabilities, and Fundinq of Conservation Authorities - the report responding to the ACAO brief is scheduled to go before Cabinet in the very near future: long-term shoreline management - funding was provided to several authorities for staffing and shoreline manaqement plans. The Ministry also recently advised all authorities that conservation authorities would assume sole responsibility for shoreline flooding and erosion. It is recognised that your Authority has assumed this responsibility fo1:' some time past and has had Regulations since 1973. This Authority is also somewhat unique . . in 1987, it received over $800,000. for erosion control along the Scarboro Bluffs. A review of pro;ects for 1988 indicates that these activities will continue to be a ma;or aspect of this Authority's programs. In December, 1987, the Minister introduced the Conservation Land Act to the Legislature. It is proposed that the Tax Rebate Program will include a 100% rebate on non-revenue-producing properties, wetlands, natural areas along the Niagara Escarpment, and other lands contrlbuting to Provincial Heritage objectives. This will be introduced in the new sitting of the Legislature. I speak on behalf of all my staff in Central Region that we look forward to working with you in 1988... Thank you very much for inviting me." GREETINGS FROM THE CITY OF MISSISSAUGA Councillor Maja Prentice brought greetings from the City of Mississauga on behalf of the Mayor and Members of Council. "It is a great cleasure for the City of Mississauga to have the M.T.R.C.A. in our Council Chamber today. It is the policy of the Council to only allow the use of the Chamber for very special occasions, and I was pleased to suqgest that the Authority might like to hold its inaugural meeting here. I am sure you will aqree that this is a very unique building. Many people who live in Mississauga find it very unattractive from outside, but once they are shown the many attractive features, they grow to love it! .. . I would encourage anyone wanting to see the building . . the tour takes about 45 minutes. I won't say anything further by way of greetings and welcome to the City of Mississauga as I know the Mayor will be here to do this later. Thank you for coming today." 1987 IN REVIEW The General Manager presented a slide review and commentary highlighting progress and activities throughout 1987, and featuring the Authority's 'Mission Statement': "Metro Region Conservation is a provincial/municipal partnership established in 1957, under the Conservation Authorities Act, to manage the renewable natural resources of the region's watersheds. Metro Region Conservation, with one-third of Ontario's population within its area of ;urisdiction, acts in the community's interest through advocating and implementing watershed management programs that .maintain and improve the quality of the region's lands and waters: .contribute to public safety from flooding and erosion: -11- A-ll .provide for the acquisition of conservation and hazard lands; and .enhance the quality and variety of life in the community by using its lands for interregional outdoor recreation, heritage preservation, and conservation education."

A-33 EXECUTIVE COMMITTBB MEETING '3/88, APRIL 8, 1988 1-5 LAND ACQUISITION PROJECT: 1987-1991 -Property: 750174 Ontario Limited Duncan Road to l6tb Avenue Town of Ricbmond Bill (Don River Watershed) At meeting #1/88, held on February 19, 1988, the Members of the Authority under Resolution #l4 authorized staff to proceed with the acquisition of all property interests required to facilitate construction of the German Mills Creek Channelization from Duncan Road to 16th Avenue in the Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York. The German Mills Flood Control Works has been a long-standing Project of the Authority and was identified in the 1980 Watershed Plan as a high priority matter. The Town of Richmond Hill and the Regional Municipality of York have made arrangements for the financing of most of the cost of construction, with the Authority remaining responsible for the land acquisition component of the project. The Town is urging the Authority to finalize land acquisitions so that construction on the Channelization can begin at the earliest possible date. This area was subject to serious flooding during the very wet summer and fall of 1986, with temporary remedial measures being undertaken by the Town at that time. Meetings and discussions have been held with all affected property owners and their solicitors and tentative agreements are now at hand with all six owners. Protracted negotiations have been carried out with George Farkas, a principal of 75014 Ontario Limited and his solicitor, Mr. Joseph Fried of the legal firm Bratty & partners, Madison Centre, 20th Floor, 4950 Yonge Street, North York, Ontario, M2N 6Kl, and subject to your approval a tentative settlement has now been arranged. The Authority's solicitors have been extensively involved in discussions relating to this property, as well as in the drafting of the Agreement and are supportive of the proposed settlement. The main elements of the proposed settlement are as follows: a) 750174 Ontario Limited is to convey to the Authority a parcel of land containing O.lOl acres, more or less, being part of Lot l2, Registered Plan 3806, Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York, and in exchange the Authority is to convey to 750174 Ontario Limited a parcel of land containing 0.168 acres, more or less, being part of Lot 9, Registered plan 3805, Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York. The Authority property is part of a much larger acreage acquired from F. & G. Torriero in September 1987 under the Don River Watershed component of the Land A~quisition project. b) The Authority is responsible for payment of costs involved in the completion of the transaction. c) The land exchange is being made by the Authority on the premise that no loss in value to the vendor's property will be incurred because of reconfiguration resulting from the land exchange. In this regard, the Authority is to guarantee the vendor that he will be able to sell his property with the new boundary configuration at some future date after April l5, 1990 and up to December 3l, 1990 at no loss in relation to today's current market value. In the event the vendor is required to sell the property between April 15 and December 31, 1990 at less than current market value, the Authority will be required to purchase the property in its entirety. (The Authority of course would then be required to resell the lands not required for channelization works and thus be out an amount equal to the loss in value of the property.) In the event that the owner sells his property with the adjusted property boundaries at an amount in excess of the current appraised value of the original property prior to April l5, 1990, all obligations of the Authority with respect to guarantee or purchase of the entire property will immediately be at an end. Similarly, in the event that the vendor does not sell the property and does not call on the Authority to purchase the property beween April 15th 1990 and December 3l 1990, all obligations of the Authority will be at an end.

The Authority became aware of a major erosion and slope instability problem in the area when the owners of lO Glenorchy place contacted us shortly after a mlljor failure in the fall of 1986. At meeting 14, April 3/87, the Executive Committee approved an Erosion Control and Slope Stability Study for the Glenorchy site. The study indicated that the primary causes for the instability were related to toe erosion in the tributary ravine and by the Don River combined with the long term softening of the slope due to the ongoing seepage, As a result No. lO Glenorchy Place and No. 16 Glenorchy Road are at imminent risk and three more homes Nos. l8 - 22 Glenorchy Road will be at risk within eight years. Therefore, we are proposing to relocate the Don River away from the toe of the slope, protect the riverbank with rip rap stone, flatten the slope to 2H:1V with selected fill material, provide for internal drainage and revegetate. In addition, the slopes in the minor tributary ravine must be stabilized. This will consist of placing moderate amounts of fill, with provision for internal drainage to buttress the failed slopes, and lining of the ravine invert to protect it from scour. project policy states that, where private property is benefiting directly from the proposed works, the owner(s) must agree to make a suitable contribution towards the cost of the works by way of money and/or land. In this case, the owner of No. 10 Glenorchy place has been identified as directly benefiting and, therefore, based on the Authority's contribution guidelines the benefiting owner will be assessed $2l,SOO.00 and is required to provide a permanent easement over the lands where the works are carried out. In addition to this, the owners of Nos. l6-22 Glenorchy Road will be required to execute our standard indemnification agreement.

The heavy rainfall in August and September of 1986 and the resulting floods greatly accelerated the erosion in this vicinity exposing approximately 20 metres of a 72" storm sewer and undermining two storm sewer outlets.

The storm events of August and September 1986 caused considerable damage along the lower reaches of Highland Creek. Of particular concern are two areas in the vicinity of the confluence. Erosion along the east riverbank of the East Branch eroded approximately l5m and, as a result, the existing rip rap channel and pedestrian bridge immediately below the confluence are in danger of being outflanked. Last year, at another location 200m upstream of the confluence, a Metro Parks washroom sewer connection to a sanitary trunk sewer had to be closed and abandoned because excessive erosion had exposed the manhole and endangered the connection.

CARRIED 1-6 PROJECT FOR EROSION CONTROL , SLOPE STABILIZATION IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN 'l'ORON'1'01 1987-1991 -Proposed Re.edial WOrks adjacent to Nos. 33-85 Fisbleigb Drive, City of Scarborougb, Lake Ontario Sboreline The site is located on the Scarborough Bluffs adjacent to Nos. 33-85 Fishleigh Drive and comprises about 600m of Lake Ontario shoreline. This section of the Scarborough Bluffs is unprotected and therefore subject to direct wave attack. With continuing erosion of the toe, tbe bluffs are unable to attain a stable slope and remain oversteepened. Resulting recess- ion rates range from a few centimetres to several meters in any given year. The erosion processes bave been aggravated and accelerated as a result of recent high water levels in the Great Lakes. At the present time the, homes range anywhere from 23m to 60m from the crest of the 53m high bluff. As a result of the accelerated erosion and the growing concern being expres- sed by the residents of the area, Authority staff retained the coastal engineering firm of Keith Philpott Consulting Limited to prepare a design for the required shoreline protection works and the geotechnical firm of Terraprobe Limited to investigate and recommend remedial slope stabilization measures for the bluff face. These two studies are complete and the following remedial solutions have been recommended. Keith Philpott Limited has recommended that an offshore fill and armourstone revetment, approximately 560m long, be constructed adjacent to 33-85 Fishleigh Dr ive. This should effectively stop the active continuing wave action at the toe of the Bluffs. For the purposes of the investigation carried out by Terraprobe Limited, it was assumed the toe of the bluffs would be protected. Analysis of the slopes indicates that the soils are over-consolidated and will stand at relatively steep inclinations and that deep seated failures were not a consideration. Therefore, they feel the slopes can be permitted to stabilize naturally (self stabilization). Self stabilization is a process whereby the slope is permitted to erode or fail and the material (talusl is permitted to accumulate at the toe of the Bluffs. This results in the long term flattening of the slope until a stable angle is achieved. The primary advantage of self stabilization is that it will require little intervention or construction after the toe is in place, hence it will be low in cost. The primary disadvantage is that it will result in regression at the crest and the loss of additional property, The study indicates that the loss of table land would be from several meters up to twenty metres, A-43 WATER AND RELATED LAND MANAGBMBHT ADVISORY BOARD 12/88, APRIL 15, 1988 Howev7r, the stable crest will generally be more than 10m from the existing dwelllngs. In the case of 85 Fishleigh Drive, the stable slope line appears to be closer than lOm. At B3 Fishleigh Drive, the long term stable crest is estimated to be about lOm from the dwelling and within several meters of an existing pool, Therefore, in the vicinity of 83 and 85 Fishleigh Drive, self stabilization may bring the crest too close to the existing pool and dwelling to be technically or socially acceptable. Our consultant investigated flattening the slope behind Nos. 83-85 with fill to save the structures but the benefit/cost of such extensive works would not justify the additional work. It is noted that there is no immediate danger to the pool or dwelling at Nos. 83 and 85, and that some further regression of the crest can be per- mitted. It is recommended that the crest location behind these dwellings be monitored on a semi-annual basis. If the crest comes closer than 10m to the dwelling or 5m to the pool, then the structures should be removed. Since the crest is currently about 20m from the dwelling, and 25m from the pool, this regression may take 5 to 10 years. ~nother major component to this project is the construction of an access road to facilitate the construction of the offshore revetment. Staff considered several locations for gaining access to the shoreline and are recommending that a road be constructed down the Fishleigh Ravine and 400 metres eastward along the shoreline to the revetment location. This would be a permanent, controlled access road which would be used to maintain not only the Fishleigh revetment but also the extensive artificial beach and groyne system located to the west of the ravine. Construction is expected to take 4-5 years to complete depending on the availability of fill and rubble materials. Staff has budgeted $200,000 for 19B8 which should enable us to construct the access road. Since all work is either on Authority or public property, no contribution from the owners is required.

Other works proposed include minor grading and landscape improvements to Rotary Park. Total funding allocated for the 1988 Development Program is $107,000.00. To date, substantial waterfront areas have been improved to basic park standards and transferred to the Town of Ajax for operation and maintenance. In 1988, the priority will be to complete all deficiencies and carry out minor grading and landscape improvements within the Rotary Park area for transfer to the Town of Ajax. Total estimated cost to complete this work is $7,000.00. The proposed roadway and parking lot improvements adjacent to Rotary Park will comprise installation of the final asphalt paved surface on the existing gravel roadway and car parking lot, both of which were constructed in 1987. It is proposed that paving of the boat launching parking lot be delayed until sufficient funding can be secured to complete improvements to the launching ramp. Total estimated cost to complete the asphalt paving in 1988 is $75,000.00. Finally, the waterfront pathway system will be completed through Rotary Park. This will comprise the construction of 300 metres of 3 metre wide paved pathway. Total estimated cost to complete this work is $25,000.00.

CARRIED 1-9 MAJOR MAIRDRANCH -lIassey Creek Massey Creek channels are located on Massey Creek, a tributary of the Don River in the Borough of East York in Metropolitan Toronto, A series of gab ion lined channels extend from the confluence with the East Don River through to the Warden and St. Clair Avenue. Gabion basket channel improvements were carried out in the mid 1960's, to prevent the river from meandering or encroaching into the steep side slopes, thereby protecting urban development which in most cases had encroached onto the crest of the valley slopes along this reach of Massey Creek. A formal lineal path system has since been developed through the area. Abrasion and corrosion have caused the bottom baskets to fail and resulted in the top baskets either rotating or slumping into the river. Staff is therefore proposing to repair four areas of concern by replacing the failed gabion baskets with armour stone in an attempt to reduce future maintenance costs.

The work program is divided into four primary sections consisting of the following: (i I Conservation Planning (i i I Tree Planting/Forest Management ( iiil Soil Conservation/Sediment Control (ivl Fish/Wildlife Management (i I Conservation Planning $l76,000.00 The purpose of the Conservation Planning Section is to provide technical advice to private landowners to promote sound land management programs and to carry out resource management planning activities for Authority lands and technical advice to agencies managing Authority lands in urban areas: - 80 site visits conducted1 - resource management plans developed - Authority lands1 - conservation plans developed - private lands1 - fish management plans developed - private, public lands1 - tecbnical response to in-house requests. (i il Tree Planting/Forest Management $332,925.00 The purpose of the Tree Planting/Forest Management Section is to provide technical assistance to private landowners to promote sound water conservation programs and to carry out resource management programs for Authority lands and public landowners, The fOllowing programs are carried out under this section: (a) Plant propagation - Under this program, the Authority operated a tree and shrub production nursery to carry out cost efficient programs related to vegetation management and establishment on private, public and Authority lands. The total budget for this program is $157,000.00 with an estimated revenue of $152,000.00, - bare root shrubs - 15,000 to be produced1 - bare root trees - 40,000 to be produced1 - B&B/container stock - l,OOO to be produced1 - caliper stock - 1,000 to be produced. ( b) Reforestation - The reforestation program occurs on private and Authority owned rural properties. Projects are concentrated in areas where resource management benefits will be maximized, Such benefits include reduction in runoff rates, sediment control, and fish and wildlife habitat improvements. In 1988 approximately 56 hectares of Authority land and 10 hectares of private property will be reforested. Sites have been prioritized and include the' following areas: Authority Land - Glen Major Resource Management Tract (56 ha) - Lake St, George Forest and Wildlife Area - Nashville Resource Management Tract - Snelgrove Resource Management Tract - Duffins Creek Private Land - Eleven (111 landowners in Adjala, King (10 ha) and uxbridge Townships as well as the Towns of Caledon, Vaughan and Whitchurch-Stouffville (c) Farm Tree and Shrub - This program is offered to private rural/urban landowners to meet the objectives of erosion and sediment control, bank stabilization and wildilfe habitat management.

Forest management operations will be aimed at locations where water management benefits will be gained to the greatest degree. The 1988 project will be undertaken at Glen Major Resource Management Tract. Ten (101 hectares of woodlot are scheduled for improvement. (iiil Soil Conservation/Sediment Control $ 47,025.00 The purpose of the Soil Conservation/Sediment Control Section is to provide assistance to private, public and Authority-owned lands for sediment control. This includes sediment control projects for on and off stream sediment generating sites. A need to accelerate project implementation has been identified to address water quality problems. The Sediment Control Program is designed to reduce erosion and sedimentation problems, improve fish and wildlife habitat and enhance the aesthetic qualities of valley lands. Reducing the transport of pollutants will have a positive effect in the immediate area as well as improving water quality throughout the entire downstream system. Three sites in the Town of Markham have been identified for work in 1988 including 136m of streambank stabilization and valley land tree and shrub planting. As well, MTRCA will be working in cooperation with the City of Brampton to develop a valley land planting program, One site will be scheduled for tree and shrub planting adjacent to the Etobicoke Creek in 1988. (iv) Fish and Wildlife Management $ 9,000.00 The purpose of this component is to carry out a program of fish rearing and stocking for selected Authority owned properties and to carry out fish and wildlife habitat rehabilitation projects on private, public and Authority owned properties. More specifically, two activities are carried out under this section including: (a) Glen Haffy - Fish Rearing - 45,000 rainbow trout will continue to be reared at the Glen Haffy hatchery for stocking ponds in the Heart Lake, Bruce's Mill and Glen Haffy Areas for increased fishing opportunities in the Toronto region.

The original agreement granted in 1976 identified three sections for this operation located on lot l8, conc. 4, former Township of Albion, In 1986 and 1987, the Authority granted one-year extensions to permit the completion of filling to the designed contours of Sections A and Bl. Operational changes that limited filling to material brought in cars and pick-up trucks by local residents extended the site life longer than had been anticipated. Last September, this Board was advised that the Region of Peel was preparing a Master Waste Management Plan for the Town of Caledon that would address the waste disposal issue over a forty year period. This plan, adopted by peel in February, included developing recycling and energy from waste programs, locating and obtaining approvals for a long-term landfill site to be operational in 1991, and locating sites to meet the short-term landfill requirements. The Region has calculated that 70,000 cubic yards of capacity exists in settlement areas along the sides of Sections A and Bl of the Albion Site. Based on current filling rates, coupled with the Caledon Landfill Site capacity and a recycling program, it is estimated that Caledon's short-term landfilling requirements can be met by extending the use of the Albion Landfill Site until the end of 1991. Authority staff have reviewed the site and believe that settlement areas can be filled without any additional impact on the overall site.

Property Bumber River Watershed At Authority Meeting #5/88, held on Friday, July 29, 1988, Resolution #l28 was approved, as follows: "THAT the Hazard and Conservation Land Acquisition Project within the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto - April 1985 be amended to include provision for the acquisition of the W.R. Draper Company Limited and HSM/JEM Investments Inc. property at a total purchase price of $785,000.00, plus costs; "THAT the appropriate Authority officials be directed to approach officials of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario to obtain the required approvals; "AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of any additional necessary approvals and the execution of any documents." As directed, staff has consulted with officials of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the province of Ontario. It is their opinion that it would not be appropriate at this time to amend the Metro Toronto Hazard and Conservation Land Acquisition project, given the funding uncertainty brought about by the Torvalley decision, However, Metro officials are supportive of the purchase of the Draper property, It was agreed that the general Land Acquisition Project might be a more appropriate vehicle. While funding is not included in the budget for this project in 1988, there is some indication that the Province would provide additional funds to cover the provincial share. Metropolitan Toronto officials said that the municipal share may have to be included in the 1989 fiscal year. A number of actions are necessary to secure the funding required of $785,000 plus costs: 1. $100,000 of provincial grant must be re-allocated from the planned purchase of German Mills Creek properties where it is no longer required; staff is discus~ing this with Ministry of Natural Resources officials and there should be no problem obtaining approval of the transfer. 2. $340,000 of additional provincial grant must be secured from the Ministry of Natural Resources to make up the provincial share (55%1 of the purchase; the Chairman and General Manager of the Authority will be meeting with Ministry representatives to gain the necessary approvals; preliminary indications are that the Ministry is supportive of the project and can find the funds although they may not be available before year end. 3. $135,000 of municipal levy has already been raised as part of the $500,000 for the Land Acquisition project and is, as yet, uncommitted. 4. $225,000 of municipal levy will be made available from the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto as agreed to by the Metropolitan Staff Committee which reviews all land purchases; the availability of these funds reflects Metro's commitment to the purchase of flood plain land within Metropolitan Toronto. The resolution below provides staff with sufficient authority to undertake to secure the necessary funding.

The area in question is located within the regional storm floodplain of the Black Creek between Weston Road and Jane Street. This area was designated as a damage centre by the Authority in its 1980 Watershed plan, recognizing it as requiring special status due to the level of development, the importance of the area to the community and the fact that acquisition is not a viable flood protection option, Also, a flood control channel had been constructed in the 1960's and offers 1 in 100 year flood protection or greater. The request for approval in principle for Special Policy Area status by the City of York is to bring the Authority's damage centre designation in conformity with the Provincial Flood Plain policy. As part of this process, approval by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is required in support of the City of York's request.

PLooD PRO'l'EC'l'ION DYKING: LOWER DON RIVER -PINAL ENGINEERING: PRASE I At Meeting #12/87, the Executive Committee recommended that the firm of Marshall Macklin Monaghan Limited be awarded the contract for the above noted study. The study which undertook an exhaustive review of the proposed flood protection scheme for the Lower Don area was completed in the Spring of 1988. The study confirmed the use of dyking as the most feasible flood protection technique for the Lower Don River flood 'prone areas and undertook a review of the flood damages under existing conditions. Following a review of the flood protection schemes and their costs, the following conclusions were made by the report: 1. West side of Don River, North of Railway Crossing (Spill Zone 3) While it is technically feasible to protect this area with a low dyke and protection against surcharging of sewers, the economic analysis makes flood protection of this area unfeasible. It should be noted that at the time of the study, the announcement of the St. Lawrence project had not been made. This project may allow for less expensive flood control protection for this area. 2. East side of Don River, Lakeshore Boulevard to parkway Flood protection of this area is feasible with the construction of a low dyke on the Lever Bros. property. A-1l5 WATER' RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT ADVISORY BOARD MEETING '7/88, NOV. 4, 1988 2. PLOOD PROTECTION DYKING: LOWER DON RIVER -FINAL ENGINEERING: PHASE I (con't) 3. protection of the Don Valley parkway i.s also feasible and economically justifiable through raising of the existing sheet pile wall along the river side of the parkway. This will provide protection from river flooding on the parkway, however, flooding due to excessive rainfall is still a threat. Since all of the flooding threat to the Parkway cannot be eliminated, the Metropolitan Toronto Roads and Traffic Department is not prepared to protect the parkway. They feel the closure of the road for works may cause more disruption than the flooding. Res. #199 Moved by: Kenneth Campbell Seconded by: Bryn Lloyd THAT the staff report "Flood protection Dyking, Lower Don River, Final Engineering - phase 1" be received. CARRIED. 3. REMOVAL OP DAMAGE CEN'l'RE STA'l'OS, DUPPIN CREEK D.C. 'l At meeting #5/86, the Water and Related Land Management Advisory Board adopted a policy for dealing with revisions, addition of or the removal an Authority Damage Centre. This policy was adopted by the Full Authority at its meeting i8/86. The portions of the policy dealing with the Duffin Creek, Damage Centre are identified as section (a) and (e) as show below: ( a) if the change is sufficient to reduce the area of flooding to such extent that the area would no longer be considered a Damage Centre, then the full Authority will be requested to formally delete the area as a Damage Centre, subject to the approval of Council within the affected municipality, (b) as the importance of the Authority's Damage Centre designation, with regard to development control, is gradually diminished through the adoption of Special policy Areas (SPA'S) or Two-Zone Areas by the municipalities, the Authority shall continue to maintain and update Damage Centre information for use in relation to Flood warning and implementation of protection works on a priority basis. This area (as shown in Fig. 1) has had changes which relate to both of these portions of the policy. Since the initial designation of this area as a Damage Centre, the level of flooding has been reduced through the addition of a second 4.3 m diameter culvert under the C.N.R. tracks on the Millers Creek. As a consequence, the number of flood vulnerable structures is reduced from 42 to 15, with depths of flooding generally being less than 1 metre under the revised condition. As identified in the Authority's policy regarding Damage Centres, discussions were held with the Town of Ajax about the designation of this site as a Special policy Area. The Town has decided not to pursue the designation of the site on the Millers Creek as an S.P.A. As a consequence of the Town's decision not to designate the site, staff believe it is not appropriate to continue to treat this area as a Damage Centre. Since the frequency of flooding is only under Regional and the depths of flooding are generally less than 1 meter, the Authority's Flood Vulnerable Sites policy will deal with this area quite adequately. Res.'200 Moved by: Milton Berger Seconded by: Jim MCGuffin THAT the designation of "Damage Centre" for the site defined as Duffin creek Damage Centre '1 on the Millers Creek be removed, subject -to the approval of the Town of Ajax, and that any development proposals within this area be dealt with under the Authority's Flood susceptible Sites policy.

A-116 WATER & RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT ADVISORY BOARD MEETING f7 /88, NOV. 4, 1988 4. 1987 ANNUAL REPORT, KEATING CHANNEL, ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM The Keating Channel was constructed in 1~22 and is located at the mouth of the Don River in the north east corner of Toronto's inner harbour. Routine dredging of the Keating Channel to navigational depth was implemented after construction and ceased in 1974. During this time period dredgeate was disposed of in the open lake, in deep water or in advance of the eastern headland (Tommy Thompson park). In 1972, Canada and the U.S.A. signed an agreement to ban the open water disposal of polluted sediments. Dredging was stopped within the Keating Channel due to the lack of suitable dredgeate disposal locations. Due to the lack of dredging the Keating Channel filled with sediments from 1974 to 1987. This produced a flood hazard due to reduced channel capacity, and also impeded inner harbour navigation. permission was granted to the Toronto Harbour Commission to conduct an emergency interim dredging program to improve inner harbour navigation in the early 1980's. The Keating Chann~l Enviromental Assessment, in part, outlined the method of dredging and disposal of the Keating Channel sediments to reduce the flood hazard situation. The Environmental Assessment also outlined the disposal of Keating Channel Dredgeate in Tommy Thompson park within the three (3) disposal cells. Upon approval of the Environmental Assessment, dredging within the Keating Channel commenced in July, 1987. As a condition of the Environmental Assessment approval, the M.T.R.C.A. is required to implement an annual Environmental Monitoring Program to: 1. Monitor the quality of material dredged within the Keating Channel. 2. Monitor the quality of material lost through the dredgeate disposal cells within Tommy Thompson Park. 3. Report the findings of the Environmental Monitoring program in an annual report. To fulfill the requirements of the above conditions, staff from the Resource Management Section implemented the Keating Channel Environmental Monitoring program. This Environmental Monitoring Program consisted of the following field studies: 1. Keating Channel Dredgeate Monitoring M.T.R.C.A. staff supervised the routine collection of dredgeate quality samples. 2. ponar Grab Samples M.T.R.C.A. staff collected sediment quality information in Tommy Thompson park and within the dredgeate disposal cells. 3. Sediment Trap Surveys Quality and quantity of sediment deposition was determined within Tommy Thompson park, during the dredgeate disposal operation and non disposal periods. Staff of the Resource Management Section have prepared the results of the Monitoring program in the 1987 Summary Report. A-1l7 WATER & RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT ADVISORY BOARD MEETING '7/88, NOV. 4, 1988 4. 1987 ANNUAL REPORT, KEATING CHANNEL, ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM (con't) The following is a summary of the main findings of the 1987 Annual Report: 1. Keating Channel dredgeate fails to meet the acceptable levels of sediment chemistry required for open water disposal as determined by the Ministry of the Environment guidelines. 2. The dredgeate disposal operation has no noticeable influence on the sediment quality outside of the dredgeate disposal cells. 3. There is little similarity between the physical characteristics of sediments collected inside the cells versus those collected in the embayment outside of the entrance to the cells and in the Outer Harbour. These results suggest that there is no noticeable transportation of sediments between the disposal cells and other areas of Tommy Thompson Park during disposal and non disposal periods. Res.i20l Moved by: Richard O'Brien Seconded by: Lois Hancey THAT staff report on the Keating Channel Environmental Report be received, AND FURTHER THAT the 1988 Keating Channel Environmental Monitoring Report be forwarded to the Ministry of the Environment as part of the Authority's obligation under the Environmental Assessment Act. CARRIED. 5. LONG TERM WATERPROR'l' PLANNIRG: BOLD CONCEP'l' II The Authority recently received copies of a report prepared by Jack H. Jones, P. Eng. for Mr. Duncan Allan, Special Advisor to the Premier on Waterfront Development. The report deals with a wide range of central waterfront issues including housing, recreation, Olympic facilities, port requirements, transportation and the Island Airport. The report will be referred by the Province to the Royal Commission on the Toronto Waterfront for consideration. The report presents 2 Alternative Plans. Alternative A is of particular interest to the Authority in two areas. Firstly, Alternative A proposes a relocation of the Toronto Island Airport to Tommy Thompson Park. Secondly, both concepts propose substantial land creation south of Toronto Islands where the Authority has considered shoreline protection for the Toronto Islands. It is difficult to comprehend an airport proposal for Tommy Thompson Park given the many years of debate, over relatively minor land use issues for the park, which the Authority has endured. The airport would of course change the character of the entire area of Tommy Thompson Park. Extensive control of birds would be required for safety of the airport. vehicular traffic would need to be expanded rather than regulated as in the Authority's plan. The containment areas for dredged material disposal would need to be replaced in deeper water involving many years of lakefilling. Any areas of green space around the airport would be buffer areas with limited appeal for public use. If the province is giving any serious consideration to this proposal, the Authority should be advised in order that any unnecessary expense or effort towards further approvals of the Tommy Thompson Park plan can be avoided. A-118 WATER' RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT ADVISORY BOARD MEETING '7/88, NOV. 4, 1988 5. LONG TERM WATERFRONT PLANNING: BOLD CONCBPT II (con't) The second component of the proposal, which concerns protection for the Toronto Islands, is less troublesome for the Authority. protection of the Gibraltar point area is desirable in the near future. The Authority has unsuccessfully sought funding for this work in the past. A solution to this erosion problem may involve use of offshore sand as proposed by Mr. Jones. Incorporation of a rowing course, although required for Toronto's Olympic Bid, may be forcing another recreational facility into the Central waterfront area that could be better accommodated in another waterfront location. Alternative B accepts the Authority's proposals for Tommy Thompson park and is therefore of less concern from the Authority's perspective. The report will provide interesting input to the Royal Commission on the Toronto Waterfront and it is unlikely that any decision on any of the proposals will be made by any level of government until the Royal Commission has produced its final report. Res.i202 Moved by: William McLean Seconded by: Kenneth Campbell THAT staff report on "Bold Concept II" be received, AND FURTHER THAT the province of Ontario, the Royal Commission on the Toronto Waterfront, Metropolitan Toronto and the City of Toronto be advised that the Bold Concept II is totally unacceptable with respect to the proposed airport at Tommy Thompson park and is inconsistent with the recommendations in the Authority's Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan.

At Meeting #11/88, the Executive Committee adopted Resolution i18l to retain the firm of Cumming Cockburn Limited to begin the Environmental study Report (E.S.R.) for the flood protection works on the Little Etobicoke Creek at Dixie Road and Dundas Street in Mississauga. As par~ of the E.S.R., a Public Meeting was held on October 27, 1988 where options to the protective works were presented to the public. The results of the meeting were positive, wit the majority of the public supporting the Authority's preferred option for works. The City of Mississuaga is anxious to continue forward with this project in order to be in a position to possibly begin construction of the protective works in late 1989. In order for the Authority to be in that position, the completion of the E.S.R. and the final engineering is paramount. The previous resolution adopted by the Executive Committee allocated $20,000 towards the E.S.R./Final Engineering which will, as requested, only take the process slightly past the public Meeting stage. Since a project has been adopted by the Authority for these works and funds have been allocated within the Authority's 1989 budget, staff are requesting that authorization be give to allow for the continuation and completion of the E.S.R./Final Engineering The firm of Cumming Cockburn Limited who have already begun these works, are recommended to continue the Engineering. A cost of $65,000 is estimated as required to complete the Engineering.

TWINNING OP 'l'BB BOMBER RIVER PROJEC'1': At meeting #14/87, held on October 30, 1987, the Executive COmmittee instructed staff to investigate the request from York L.A.C.A.C. to participate in the Twinning of the Humber River with the Humber River in Yorkshire, England. Staff has attended several meetings with the L.A.C.A.C. representatives from municipalities that front along the Humber River. In addition to the twinning proposal, the group has suggested that the Humber River be designated a heritage river by the Federal Government. A program called .Celebrate the Humber" has been put in place for October 15 1988. Each L.A.C.A.C. group will be responsible for organizing an event such as a picnic, nature tour or display on that day. In support of this effort Authority staff will be presenting a film, slide show and talk on Humber River flooding (Hurricane Hazel) at the Kortright theatre. Long term objectives of the group include the following: ( a) to twin the Humber Rivers in Metro Toronto and Humberside, (b) to promote the Humber River heritage resources through the Heritage designation, (c) to encourage the Authority to coordinate long term community group efforts at rehabilitation of the forest, wildlife, water and public use resources along the Humber River. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has been identified by the L.A.C.A.C. groups as the most suitable agency to pursue to .Celebrate the Humberw project has the potential to be an annual event that could attract strong community support for conservation efforts. In addition, the heritage resource of the Humber River valley could be developed as part of a Heritage Trail program in cooperation with local municipalities and L.A.C.A.C.

SBASOIIAL CAMPING AND MAXIMUM LENGTH OF S'l'AY At its meeting i2/88,.the Conservation & Related Land Management Advisory Board recommended the establishment of a seasonal camping rate at Indian Line Campground on a trial basis, along with the establishment of a maximum length of stay at Authority camping facilities. The Board also directed staff to report back on the Indian Line seasonal camping program at the end of the camping season. The seasonal rate went into effect as of June 17, 1988, with 24 of the 30 designated sited being filled. It is anticipated that with some advance information regarding the availability of seasonal camping at Indian Line, all 30 sites would be filled for any future season. The availability of seasonal sites was well received by the long term campers at Indian Line and the establishment of a contractual relationship with the campers allowed for tighter control of activities and the use of campsites. This control led to neater campsites and more attractive surroundings for regular tourist campers. The seasonal rate of $1,300 established this year provided a 40% discount to anyone camping for the full season. This resulted in some loss of revenue for the campground and any future rate may be set higher. In general, the campground staff view the initiation of a seasonal rate as positive step. Guidelines for extended stays at the campground are now clear, making the job of enforcement and control easier and much less dependent on staff discretion. The campground supervisor has recommended that the seasonal rate be retained. Res.#206 Moved by: Beverley Morgan Seconded. by: Clarence Jessop THAT seasonal camping be retained at the Indian Line campground on a continuing basis, with seasonal camping fee becoming part of the regular Conservation Areas Fee Schedule.

A-137 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 114/88. DECEMBER 9, 1988 6. PROVINCIAL CONTAINER REFUND POLICY At its meeting i6/88, held September 16, 1988, the Authority, on a motion proposed under New Business, adopted Resolution 11161: "THAT the Authority petition the Province to reconsider its position on refunds for soft drink and juice containers; AND FURTHER THAT support in this petition be requested from the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario." Authority staff, in responding to this direction, has reviewed relevant Ontario Regulations and interviewed staff of the Ministry of Environment and Ontario Multi-Material Recycling Inc. (OHMRI), to determine the Province's policy and that part which we are requesting be reconsidered. The Province, since 1985, has had regulations in place which incorporate the following: 1. Minimum refunds for refillable containers of: ls; for up to 350 ml size 30 for 351 ml - 1 litre 40 for over 1 litre Refunds will be more if a higher deposit is charged, 2. Recycling programs for non-refillable containers, 3. A ratio between percentage of refillable containers permitted and recycling targets and established dates for achieving each; 4. Reporting requirements for brand users. The Province has taken a position which favours recycling over re-use for a number of reasons: (a) A recycling program addresses a wide range of materials and containers, including, but not limited to those for soft drinks, ( b) Re-use of containers is not practical over time due to contamination, (c) Recycling shares responsibility among government, industry and the public. Ontario Multi-Material Recycling Inc. (OHMRI) was established by funding from the soft drink industry to develop the 'Blue Box' program. To date, the industry has contributed $20 million to this program and further funding will be provided as municipalities opt to participate. The 'Blue Box' can be used for a range of household materials including, not only soft drink and juice containers, but also jars, bottles" and metal cans. This program. according to OHMRI staff, has made Ontario a leader in North America for recycling initiatives. Based on our review, the Province's position appears to have much to support. At issue remains the fact that litter in parks is a problem and that the cost for clean-up is borne by the parks management agency, either the municipality or the Authority, not by the manufacturers or the user. The Province's policy puts an onus on the distributor for refunds, on the manufacturer for re-use and on the manufacturer, municipality and the public for recycling. In order to address the issue without minimizing the efforts currently being made, the following revised recommendation is proposed: - " A-138 EXECUTIVE COMMI'l"l'BE tl4/88, DECBMBER 9, 1988 6.
