It is anticipated that approximately 50% of these sites will be mapped in 1989 This work will be carried out in accordance with the terms, conditions and specifications of the Canada/Ontario Flood Damage Reduction Program. In addition, it is proposed to prepare public information maps for all the sites mapped under the Authority's Mapping Extension Program.

Staff recommends that this request ~ be supported for the following reasons: (a) There is inadequate community related justification (Le. municipal commitment to area maintenance, area designated for urban growth and development, significant investment in infrastructure, limited opportunity for development elsewhere). (b) The SPA designation is not intended for a singular property or development, but rather a larger area involving several properties and more than one development. (c) The intent of the municipality's request for an SPA designation is to legitimize the school use of the property in the Official Plan, provide for the intensification of the existing use and allow for the redevelopment of the site. The use proposed is inconsistent with pol~cy 8.1(b) in the Provincial Flood Plain Planning policy. (d) The Bayview Glen proposal is not in conformity with the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto's Official Plan nor with the Official Plan of the City of North York. Res.

COLD CREEK CONSERVATION AREA -Range Noise Study The following itea was recoaaended for approval at the Conservation and Related Land Manageaent Advisory Board Meeting '2/89, held on April 14. For the past three years, staff has been attempting to resolve the problem of noise from the target ranges at the Cold Creek Conservation Area. Following recommendations from our consultants, Barman Swallow Associates, work was completed in 1988 to relocate the trap range and to construct a sound attenuation chamber on the rifle range. Upon completion of the work, Barman Swallow Associates carried out tests on four days in December to evaluate the effectiveness of these measures. Improvements up to 26 dB have been achieved and the noise levels meet the Ministry of the Environment criteria for new range facilities, i.e. ranges built after January 1, 1980. A-38 8. COLD CREEK CONSERVATION AREA -Range Noise Study contd. Barman Swallow Associates makes the following further recommendations TRAP RANGE - To plant dense vegetation which retains its foliage during the winter months, primarily in and around the wooded area just west of the trap range and as close as possible to the shooters - To extend the 3m wooden barrier towards the northwest since scaling the berm revealed a clear line of sight to the residence just south of the Caple property. In addition, it is also recommended that we investigate the possibility of planting extra vegetation and trees in sparse areas located between the new trap range and the llth Concession. - The ground in and around the shooters be sodded and/or covered with dense vegetation. In addition, all berms be sodded and/or covered with dense vegetation or equivalent These measures will decrease the reflective nature of the frozen earth and excess attenuation due to ground effect will be maximized. This measure alone results in an improvement of 2-3 dB. RIFLE RANGE - The rifle range doors be kept closed at all times and all windows be well sealed and caulked. Alternatively, since the door is a "weak link" in the rifle range enclosure and tends to be propped open, it could be replaced with a vestibule and second door. - The ricochet baffles, as well as the ground, be made as absorptive as possible. The 1989 operating schedule has been changed to limit both trap and rifle range use to Saturdays and holidays during the months of January through March, and November and December. During the months of April through July, the ri fle range will operate only on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays and holidays. All ranges, with the exception of .22 rimfire, will continue to be closed on Sundays. All previously established ammunition restrictions will continue to be enforced. Res.

CARRIED. A-53 AUTHORITY MEETING '4/89, JUNE 23, 1989 John McGinnis, vice Chairman, opened the meeting with the following remarks Rather than proceed to the business of this meeting in its usual order, let us pause for a few moments to pay tribute to our late Chairman, Bill Foster. Bill spent most of his business career in public service, having joined the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests in 1948. This later became the Ministry of Natural Resources from which he retired as Deputy Minister for Southern Ontario in 1983. In 1984, he was appointed Chairman of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, and re-appointed for a second three-year term in 1987. The value of Bill Foster's contribution to the Authority is incalculable. He followed many dedicated and able Chairmen, each of whom contributed in the light of the times in which they served. Bill arrived at a period when very rapid changes were taking place. Urban expansion, escalating costs, and public pressures were creating problems with which only a person of his calibre and with his talents could cope. B i 11 did more than cope. He expanded the role of the Authority and saw to it that it received the support it required at all levels of government and, indeed, from much of the public. Seeing the necessity of protecting the headwaters of our watershed, he ini tiated the Greenspace plan which, so far, has received an encouraging reception. Bill's view was never parochial. He was very much involved in conservation generally, and represented the Central Region on the Executive of the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario. His untimely death is a great loss, not only to MTRCA, but to conservation everywhere. We shall miss having his wise counsel, and even more, we shall miss his cheerfulness, generosity and friendship. Would you please stand with me for a moment of silence in memory of Bill Foster.

CARRIED THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS . . CARRIED A-80 AUTHORITY MEETING '5/89, HELD ON JULY 28, 1989 1- LAKEFILL QuALITY CONTROL PROGRAM contd. BACKGROOND The Authority at its meeting held on June 23, 1989 passed the following resolution "Res. #138 Moved by Dale Martin Seconded by Ron Moran "THAT the Authority advise its member municipalities, utility companies and the construction industry that, effective July l, 1989, the Authority will be unable to accept surplus earth fill from untested sites at the Authority's waterfront projects; "AND FURTHER THAT the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, in co-operation with the local municipalities, be urged to undertake a study of fill utilization options as soon as possible " Similar action was taken by the Toronto Harbour Commissioners (THC) in a resolution which indicated that the Toronto Harbour Commissioners would accept only material shown by chemical testing to meet the Ontario Ministry of Environment's Open Water Disposal Guidelines. The THC action not only eliminated accepting material from the small untested sites but also eliminated tested material that met the protected area guidelines as defined in the Authority's Improved Lakefill Quality Control Program. As a result of these actions, the small load contractors were left without the disposal option which was afforded to them under the Improved Lakefill Quality Control Program. As a result, the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Disposal Services Association was formed to lobby the Authority, the City of Toronto and the Toronto Harbour Commissioners to change their positions with respect to the disposal of the small untested loads The Truckers Association appeared as delegations at both the THC and the City of Toronto and asked to appear as a delegation before the Authority at its meeting on July 28, 1989. The Truckers Association also demonstrated at the various waterfront sites which resulted in these sites being closed down temporarily to all truck traffic. As a result of the arguments made by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Disposal Services Association, a meeting was held between Mayor Arthur Eggleton: Councillor Disero, the Chairman of the Toronto Harbour Commissioners; William McLean, General Manager, and Craig Mather, Director of the Water Resource Division, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to determine whether there was some course of action which could be taken which would at least alleviate in the short term the problems facing the small load contractors. The General Manager advised that this matter was coming before the Authority as a result of the request to appear as a delegation by the Disposal Services Association and that, should the Authority be willing to reopen the matter, perhaps the Authority could reconsider its position. Councillor Disero also felt that the matter could be brought before an emergency meeting of the THC should some solution be found. Councillor Disero, in a letter dated July 6, 1989, to the Mayor and Members of City Council requested that at special Council meeting scheduled for July 7, 1989 that the following motions be passed 1. The City Solicitor, Commissioner of Public Works and the Commissioner of the Property Department report to the July 13th meeting of Council on possible locations for stockpiling excavation materials. 2 The Medical Officer of Health, Com~issioner of Public Works and appropriate officials report on any possible ways of accelerating the testing process. A-81 AUTHORITY MEETING 15/89, HELD ON JULY 28, 1989 1. LAKEFILL QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM contd. City Council adopted these recommendations and requested that the reports be submitted to City Council for its meeting on July 13, 1989 As a result, City staff prepared a report making four recommendations, the first of which represented an immediate short term solution to this disposal problem This recommendation reads l(a) That the THC and MTRCA be requested to permit the use on a short term basis the dredgeate containment cells for the placement on a "site and smell" test basis of small load (under 200 cubic metres) excavated material generated in the City of Toronto and further the THC and MTRCA be requested to take such urgent and immediate action as may be necessary to allow this alternative to be implemented quickly l(b) That if the THC and MTRCA are prepared to permit the dredgeate containment cells be used as a short term alternative, then City staff be requested to give such assistance to the THC and MTRCA as it may require in order to implement this alternative. The remaining recommendations dealt with proposed long term solutions and - also recommendations should the THC and MTRCA not be prepared to allow the use of the dredgeate containment cells on Tommy Thompson Park for the disposal of these small loads. Also on July 13th, a letter from Councillor Martin Silva to members of City Council recommended that Council declare a I period of grace for the next two and a half months until the end of september for small excavation materials to be accepted at the dredgeate containment cells on Tommy Thompson Park. This recommendation was supported by all members of City Council This matter was not dealt with by City Council until late in the afternoon of Friday, July 14th when Authority staff was advised of the recommendation to utilize, on a short term basis, the containment cells on Tommy Thompson Park. Authority staff was also advised that the THC had called an emergency meeting for two o'clock on Monday, July 17, 1989 to deal specifically with the request for the use of the containment cells. THe staff contacted Authority staff and indicated that they would like to have the Authority's position on this proposal for the meeting on Monday afternoon. Authority staff reviewed the proposal and wrote to the THC indicating support for the use of the dredgeate containment cells on a short term basis for the disposal of the small untested loads, subject to the following conditions l. The Authority's Improved Lakefill Quality Control Program, as approved by the Minister of the Environment, be re-instated at Tommy Thompson Park. This would comprise: a) accepting material that meets the Open Water Disposal guideline; b) accepting tested material that meets the Protected Area guideline and that this material be placed in defined protected areas and not within the cells; c) the Authority will require a site inspection prior to excavation for the 6-19 load range prior to issuing a weigh bill. This was in place prior to July 3, 1989; d) for the small load range 1-5, these will be subjected to a site and smell test at the disposal site before a weigh bill is issued; e) untested material in the small load category, i.e. 1-l9 loads will be accepted if accompanied by a weigh bill issued by the Authority and stamped as a small load and will be disposed of in a containment cell. A-82 AUTHORITY MEETING '5/89, HELD ON JULY 28, 1989 1. LAKEFILL QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM contd. 2 The use of the containment cells for this short term period will utilize up to two years worth of capacity for the disposal of dredged material from the Keating Channel. This has serious long term effects since it reduces the Authority's ability to provide flood protection to the lower Don area including the City of Toronto's Ataratiri project, and therefore replacement capacity must be found The THC and the City of Toronto must agree to work with the Au thori ty in identifying replacement options. 3 The Authority receive, in writing, from the Ministries of the Environment and Natural Resources that this proposal does not contravene any approvals received under the Environmental Assessment Act or the Environmental Protection Act or the Lease Agreement between the THe and the Ministry of Natural Resources 4. Cell 1 not being used for the disposal of this material since the Authority has initiated a research program related to the biological uptake of heavy metals from the Keating Channel dredgeate as part of the Keating Channel Environmental Assessment approval and as preparatory work for the Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan Staff was advised on Tuesday, July 18th that, as a result of the cond i t ions placed on the Authority's approval, the THC were not prepared to accept the proposal made by the City of Toronto and reconfirmed their initial position that only material meeting the Open Water Disposal Guidelines would be accepted at Tommy Thompson Park This, in essence, means that a short term solution for the disposal of the small untested loads has not been found and that the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Disposal Services Association were still without a disposal option along the lakefront. As of the time of writing this report, there has been no official notification by the THC or the City of Toronto as to exactly what condition or conditions quoted above resulted in the THC rejecting the City of Toronto proposal. Authority staff was advised verbally that at least one of the reasons was our requirement that the THC also accept the protected category of fill. Our rationale for setting this condition was in the interest of fairness and consistency across the waterfront and, more importantly, one of control. The proposal by the City of Toronto would solve the immediate problem for the small load contractors but could result in every contractor showing up at the site claiming to be a small load site. This would make policing much more difficult and could result in far more material being dumped in the containment cells with the resultant loss of additional capacity Whether the other conditions were also unacceptable to the THC is unknown at this time. Subsequent to being advised that the THC had rejected the proposal by the City of Toronto, staff contacted Mayor Eggleton's office and indicated a willingness to reconsider our position with respect to the protected material being accepted as part of the Authority's condition for approval Authority staff suggested that a letter from the City or from the THC outlining which conditions were unacceptable to the THC and requesting the Authority to reconsider, would result in a positive response from the Authority The removal of the objectionable condition by the Authority and a reconsideration and approval by the THC would result in a temporary solution to this matter. As of the time of writing this report, a letter has not been received. A-83 AUTHORITY MEETING '5/89.

Res. #179 Moved by Maja Prentice Seconded by Don Jackson THAT the report hereunder of providing plant material to member municipalities be received. CARRIED REPORT The Authority has been working with municipalities over the years to promote valley land plantings for sediment control, wildlife habitat and aesthetics Municipalities identified a growing concern that quantities and varieties of native plant material were not available to achieve resource management objectives. A survey was conducted of member municipalities to assess the interest and requirement for Authority assistance At Authority Meeting 18/87, Resolution 1216, staff was directed to develop, in conjunction with interested member municipalities, projects for the propagation, development and establishment of non-commercial plant material where commercial sources are not available and where such projects enhance the Conservation Land Management Program The Authority has progressed in developing projects with municipalities to provide suitable plant material. Discussions have resulted in the concept of contract growing of plant material by the Authority to meet long range objectives of the municipalities. The Authority is working in conjunction with the City of Toronto to develop a tree nursery on Authority lands. This co-operative venture will provide an excellent example to other municipali- ties who have expressed interest in the project. There continues to be increasing demand for plant material from private landowners, other conservation authorities and for Authority initiatives such as waterfront landscaping projects. The Authority will be finalizing the arrangements with the City of Toronto in 1989. Discussions with the municipalities resulting from the Authority survey have also included the City of Brampton and the Town of Markham Six other municipalities out of the 23 surveyed also expressed interest and discussions with these municipalities will take place in the future The Authority Nursery will need to expand to accommodate the needs of the municipalities and achieve the goals of Authority programs Nursery expansion would mean impacts on staffing, land holding, equipment and facilities. A Nursery Business Plan will outline comprehensive actions related to the future of the nursery A-90 AUTHORITY MEETING '5/89, HELD ON JULY 28, 1989 18.

HAZARD AND CONSERVATION LAND ACQUISITION PROJECT WITHIN THE JIONICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO: APRIL 1985 -Funding Addendum - Domtar Inc. Property KBY ISSUE The extension of the funding of the Hazard and Conservation Land Acquisition Project within the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto April, 1985 to facilitate the purchase of the Domtar Inc. Property. Res. 1239 Moved by: William Granger Seconded by Gordon Patterson THAT the funding addendum to the Hazard and Conservation Land Acquisition Project within the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Apri l, 1985, be adopted to facilitate the purchase of the Domtar Inc. Property; THAT the Province of Ontario be requested to approve the funding addendum to the project and provide a grant of 50% of the additional estimated cost of $3,135,241; AND FURTHER THAT the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be designated as the benefiting municipality and asked to approve the funding addendum to the project and accept a levy of 50% of the additional cost. CARRIED BACKGROURD The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario are now considering the request of the Authority to approve the purchase of the Domtar Inc. property as adopted by the Authority at Meeting '6/89 held on September 8, 1989. Metropolitan Toronto's and the provincial approval process includes provision to authorize the completion of the acquisition, which may involve an overrun of funding to the original project funding as a result of the still unresolved Torvalley issue. During early October, the Authority received confirmation from Domtar Inc that the firm is now in a position to complete the sale to the Authority on the basis as earlier tentatively agreed upon, with a Closing date of December 1, 1989. Extensive discussions have also been held between senior staff of the Authority and officials of Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario to obtain their formal approvals for the purchase of the Domtar Inc. Property. Senior staff of both the Province and Metro have submitted recommendations seeking formal approval of the required additional funding The status of the Torvalley Property has not yet been clarified beyond that set out in the report adopted on September 8, 1989. It is unlikely, because of the complexities of the issues in this case, that it will be resolved prior to mid-November. In the event the Authority is not granted leave to appeal, it is possible that the balance of the cost of this expropriation could become payable during late 1989. Accordingly, a commitment of funding in the amount of $17,850,000 must be reserved from the project funding to cover this property. In addition, it is necessary to have available $250,000 to cover the estimated costs of legal, survey, land transfer tax and other ancillary expenditures relating to the Domtar Inc. purchase and other 1989 activities being carried out under this project. This raises the total requirements under this project to a total of $51,135,241. A detailed technical and valuation review of the remaining properties in the original project is currently underway. This review will involve extensive discussion with officials of Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario, and it is anticipated that it will be completed during early 1990. A further report will be brought forward at that time. FIRABCIAL DETAILS Increase total project funding by $3,135,241, from $48,000,000 to $51,135,241. Costs to be shared on a 50/50 grant basis between the Province of Ontario and the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. A-126 AU'fBORITY KBETING '7 /89. HELD ON OCTOBER 27. 1989 25.

ROYAL COMMISSION ON THE FUTURE OF THE TORONTO WATERFRONT -Interim Report, August 1989 This item was recommended for approval at Water and Related Land Management Advisory Board Meeting '6/89, held on October 20, 1989. KEY ISSUE Comments on the Interim Report of the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront Res. 1282 Moved by Helen White Seconded by William Granger THAT the following comments on its August 1989 Interim Report be conveyed to the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront l. the Authority strongly supports the Commission's recommendations with regard to (a) a declaration of a provincial interest under Section 3 of The Planning Act, over the Lake Ontario waterfront, the region's river valleys and the headwaters moraine; and (b) the need to address water quality issues on a comprehensive watershed basis; 2 the Commission be advised that the Authority's projects, across the waterfront, are subject to the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. The conclusion of our lengthy history of sampling and analysis has been that all sites developed by the Authority are safe for use and do not have long-term negative impacts on the Lake, and that the "Improved Lakefill Quality Control Program", administered by the Authority for the Ministry of the Environment, provides a management system to protect the environment at landfill locations The Commission's concerns, therefore, relate to previous practices, no longer permitted, and do not reflect the improved management system now in place The recommendation that all fill material meet "open water disposal" criteria should be considered not only from a quality control perspective but also based on whether the fill is to be placed in exposed areas or within confined sites. Further, any review of this issue should address the potential surplus of fill material and include identification of alternatives for land-based disposal 3. the Authority advise the Commission that the conclusions reached regarding Tommy Thompson Park conflict with the MTRCA plan for the use of the land. A Master Plan was developed over a three-year period and has been submitted for review under the Environment Assessment Act.

Acceptance and implementation of this Strategy will significantly influence the future of the watershed, and, except for those sections of the proposed Heritage Park located on tableland beyond the Valley, will realize, in large part, the objectives for protection of the Rouge System; A-l56 AUTHORITY MEETING 19/89, HELD ON JANUARY 19, 1990 1.
