The adoption of the Plan is in compliance with the direction of the Conservation Authorities Act to undertake a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources and of the Province of Ontario to study and investigate the watershed and prepare and file with its member municipalities and the Minister of Natural Resources, a Watershed Plan. The Watershed Plan has been filed with, and concurred in by, the Authority's member municipalites and the Director, Central Region, Hinistry of Natural Resources. The Authority, in the Plan, has identified the river valleys, the Lake Ontario shoreline and the headwaters of the Oak Ridges interlobate moraine and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to which its programs are applied. The Watershed Plan is comprised of nine (9) interrelated programs: The basic requirement of the Authority is to provide protection to human life and property from the hazards of flooding and erosion. The Flood Control Program and three complementary programs, Erosion and Sediment Control, Storm Water Hanagement and Conservation Land Hanagement, establish the means to accomplish this objective and recognize the relationships between rural and urban drainage, erosion and sedimentation, and flooding. Flood Control Program - Provides for remedial measures, land acquisition and the administration of regulatory measures to maintain flood plains unobstructed to ensure the passage of flood flows. I Erosion and Sediment Control Program - Provides for corrective works and the administration of regulatory measures to protect life and property. Storm Water Hanagement Program - Establishes a basis for co-operative action by the Authority and its member municipalities with respect to water management problems and the preparation of master drainage plans. Conservation Land Hanagement Program - Promotes conservation on private and public lands by providing reforestation, habitat improvement, stream improvement and a conservation planning service. Land Acquisition Program - Provides for the acquisition of flood plain and valley lands, waterfront lands and environmentally significant lands to ensure proper conservation land management. The hectares of land acquired by the Authority are being managed to achieve the objectives of the Watershed Plan. Lake has two components, Shoreline Hanagement to reduce the hazards of and Development to create water-oriented recreation opportunitie~. ~ Page 1-2 Watershed Recreation Program - Enables the development and operations of recreation areas for public use and enjoyment, a valuable ancillary benefit on conservation lands Heritage Conservation Program - Recognizes the special contribution that an historical perspective gives to the understanding of resource management. Community Relations Program - Establishes the means by which the Authority can communicate with the community in order to gain understanding and acceptance of its conservation programs. The 1983 Budget Estimates derive from the Watershed Plan reflecting a strong orientation to Water and Related Land Management Programs and emphasizing planning, regulatory and environmentally acceptable solutions to water management problems. The Budget proposals also address a number of administrative matters: - disposition of municipal levies on hand - provision for gapping, set at 1\ of full-time wages, salaries and benefits - identification and allocation of interest income. The adoption of this Budget will not enable the Authority to maintain the level of service provided to the community in 1982 and will not enable the Watershed Plan objectives to be implemented at the rate anticipated on adoption. Format of Presentation . The 1983 Budget Estimates are based on the same program management format as the 1982 budget format. The format is designed to identify more clearly the programs adopted by the Authority in its Watershed Plan. In addition, the budget estimates are organized into management units to more clearly identify and manage the Authority programs. The principles of program budget management have been used to develop the 1983 Budget Estimates. There are five major types of provincial grants available through the Ministry of Natural/Resources to Conservation Authorities: 1. Administration 2. Water and Related Land Management 3 Conservation and Recreation Land Management 4. Special Projects and Programs 5. Supplementary Grants (not applicable to MTRCA). Commencing in the 1983 budget year, the Ministry of Natural Resources recommends the payment of grants to authorities based on a priority ranking system, using technical criteria, which compares the 'need' for individual projects in a province-wide matrix.

Expenditures on capital programs are financed as a Capital Levy on municipalities based on levies designated in specific projects. Certain expenditures from special revenues and levy on hand are recommended. tand Acquisition Project, 1982-1984 This froject was adofted br the Authority and approved by the municipalities on the basis of a 55' grant and all member munic palities benef ting n proportion to their equalized assessment. The Authority plans an expenditure of $550,000. for 1983, of which $247,500, being the municipal share, will be funded from levy monies on hand. Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Project, 1983 This project was adopted br the Authority and approved by the municipalities on the basis of a 50' grant and all member municipalities benefiting n the same proportion as that determined for the 1977-1981 project. The budget estimates for this project are found in the Finance and Administration (Waterfront Open Space Land Acquisition and Hazard Land Acquisition) and the Water Resource Division sections of the budget document. The Shoreline Management component is budgeted on the basis of a 55' grant for 1983, as directed by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Page 1-5 Projects for Erosion Control and Slope Stabilization in the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Regional Municipal ities of Peel, York and Durham, 1982-1984. These projects were adopted by the Authority and approved by the municipalities on the basis of a 55' grant and each municipality benefiting for the works carried out in the municipality. The annual municipal funding requirement is: Metropolitan Toronto 173,250 Peel 13,500 . York 9,000 Durham 2,250 $ 198,000 These projects are budgeted for in 1983 as submitted. Project for Channel Improvements - Main Humber River, Village of Bolton and Town of Caledon, 1982-1983. All approvals are in hand for the 1982 project and, due to increased costs, an addendum to the project has been submitted for approval. In both instances, the project will be funded by the Province of Ontario. The 1983 Levy The apportionment of the 1983 municipal levy is based on the 'discounted' equalized assessment in the Authority, in accordance with information supplied to all Conservation Authorities by the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Chap 78 as amended to establish and undertake in the area over which it has jurisdiction. a program designed to further the conservation. restoration, development and management of natural resources in accordance with the Flood Control Program of the Watershed Plan The purpose of this project is to meet one of the defined objectives of the Flood Control Program which is to provide in defined flood damage centres, on a priority basis, protection that will reduce the risk of flooding to less than 50% over the life (100 years) of the affected structure(s) Protection to a higher level will be provided if economically and/or socially justified The achievement of this objective in the Pickering/Ajax Damage Centres will also achieve the goal of the Authority's Flood Control Program which is defined in the Authority's Watershed Plan as "To undertake a comprehensive program of Flood Control Designed to Prevent, Eliminate, or Reduce the Risk of Hazard to Life and Property, while cognizant of the Natural Attributes of the Valley System " Through this project, the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will implement dyking along the Main and West branches of the Duffin Creek through the Towns of Pickering and Ajax The completion of the dyking works will reduce considerably the risk of flood hazard to the communities This project will be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of The Environmental Assessment Act B-52 - 2 - LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION In the development of the Flood Control Program for the Watershed Plan, the Authority identified those areas of development concentrations within the floodplain which formed integral parts of existing communities These areas were defined as Damage Centres and inherent in this definition is a susceptibility to flooding to the extent where potential damages and community disruption are significant Based on a ranking of such factors as expected damage. threat to life, disruption of transportation routes, etc , the Damage Centres were ranked on a priority basis in order that the Authority could achieve its objective of providing flood protective works to these flood vulnerable areas in a sequence based on degree of hazard In this regard, the Authority identified the Pickering/Ajax area as a Damage Centre and ranked it 4th out of 14 sites This relatively high ranking is due to the frequency of flooding and the potential for more severe flooding The proposed works to be carried out in accordance with this project will involve the floodplains of both the Main and West Branches of the Duffin Creek through the Towns of Pickering and Ajax (Fig 1) A substantial amount of development in both Pickering and Ajax is located within the floodplain of the Duffin Creek This development is primarily the older established portion of the communities which as in most other communities historically located next to the rivers for power, navigation and water supply The river at this point flows through a large ill-defined valley. with wide flat overbanks These overbank areas are susceptible to flooding on an almost annual basis A detailed description of the flood history of this area is provided in the next section entitled History of Flooding The limits of the Pickering/Ajax Damage Centres were identified on the basis of the area which would be flooded by the Regional Storm as per Fig 2 In accordance with the Authority's stated objective of providing at least a minimum level of protection to those Damage Centres which had a risk of flooding greater than 50% over an assumed life of 100 years, those areas which do not meet this criterion are located within the 1 150 year flood line as shown on Fig 3 The preliminary engineering study carried out to study the flooding problem recommended a solution to provide this minimum level of protection and also recommended that a higher level of protection could be justified This higher level would reduce the risk of flooding to 18% or protection to the 1 500 year flood event The areas flooded by the 500 year flood event is shown on Fig 4 These recommendations were based on an analysis of the costs and benefits associated with the proposed works A summary of the damages associated with various flood frequencies is provided in Table I ~ B-53 I I I ;n I <' I '" ;n I (J) 0 I '" I TOWN I c OF I ;n I AJAX '" I ;n 0 I (") " I ;n I " I I I I I /--........

FIGURE 5 I U1 0:> B-59 - 4 - Although it is always difficult to assign dollar values to the intangible items, it is important that they be considered Items which are included as intangibles are the social disruption to the Pickering/Ajax communities, road closures causing traffic disruptions and the hampering of emergency vehicular traffic, damages to municipal services such as water supply and sewers resulting in public health problems, evacuation of local residents and the threat to loss of life Since flooding of this area occurs on an almost annual basis, the intangible costs are significant The need for the municipality to continue to pump out basements once or twice a year plus the inconvenience to the residents represents a considerable expense Also the lost revenues by the commercial properties and the potential loss of future business and good will must be considered when attempting to define the more intangible affects associated with flooding In this regard, the recommendation to provide 500 year flood protection to the Pickering/Ajax Damage Centres is deemed to be appropriate and justified The relatively small cost for remedial works which provide such a high level of protection is certainly warranted The components of the remedial works required to provide 500 year protection is the same as that shown on Figure 5 The additional costs are for a slight increase in the height of the berms The dyke proposed to provide protection to the flood susceptible area north of Highway No 2 runs from Brock Road along the West and Main Branches of the Duffin Creek and ties into the highway west of the Duffin Creek Highway No 2 bridge The second dyke will provide protection to the flood susceptible area along Church Street north of the Church Street bridge The dyke will begin at the west side of Church Street north of the Creek and tie into a high point of land to the north-west of the study area The proposed dykes have been layed out along locations where the least amount of disturbance to the existing environment would occur and also where the impact upon private properties has been minimized The dykes were also located in order to allow the river system to utilize the maximum amount of existing floodplain wherever possible The internal drainage within the areas to be protected by the dykes will be carried out through the construction of drainage structures (culverts) with one way flow gates to ensure against backwater flow into the protected areas A typical cross-section4of the proposed dykes is shown on Figure 6 . .

The Project covers the three-year period 1984 - 1986 The goal of the Authority through this Project is to "undertake a comprehensive program of shoreline management designed to prevent, eliminate, or reduce the risk of hazard to life and property, while cognizant of the natural attributes of the lake front setting " B-83 - 2 - BACKGROUND The Authority has been responsible for the implementation of the Waterfront Plan for the Metropolitan Toronto region since 1970 Shoreline management measures were a component of that responsibility and were addressed in the two Five Year Projects, 1972-1976 and 1977-1981 Shoreline management works were undertaken in each municipality along the waterfront involving total expenditures of approximately $2,200,000 An additional $900,000 has been spent under the 1982-1983 Shoreline Management Project The importance of shoreline management measures has steadily increased as residential areas in particular are becoming increasingly threatened by shoreline erosion. The Authority decided in 1980 to prepare a separate program for Shoreline Management within the Watershed Plan in an effort to raise ilie level of awareness of the problem and secure stronger support for solutions The shoreline management measures employed to date can be classified into two components prevention and protection Efforts have been made to ensure that new developments are cognizant of the hazards of shoreline erosion and flooding Adequate setbacks and/or suitable shoreline protection have been employed to provide for maximum feasible protection of new developments The protection of lives and property in previously developed areas has been pursued by a combination of protection and/or acquisition Shoreline protective works have been installed in some instances to reduce erosion rates and increase the useful life of structures In other instances it has proven to be most economical to acquire endangered properties and allow natural erosion processes to proceed It may also be necessary to acquire properties since the erosion problem is too severe to be solved through protective works POLICIES The policies and operational criteria of the Authority governing shoreline works are enunicated in detail in the Shoreline Management Program of the Watershed Plan. - 3 - B-84 LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The following is a sector by sector analysis of the proposed shoreline management measures to be implemented by the Authority The sector locations are shown on Fig 1 It should be noted that the areas detailed below are to be considered as a pool of priority sites which the Authority maintains and reviews on an annual basis Erosion is very dynamic in nature and as such. the Authority must be able to react as site conditions change It is for this reason that all waterfront sectors are included in the project At this point in time the most hazardous sites are located in the Scarborough sector and as such a more detailed list is provided The elements of the Authority's Shoreline Management Program related to prevention of development in hazardous locations are common to all sectors and are not reiterated here Borough of Etobicoke The extent of residential development combined with the physical characteristics of the shoreline have resulted in extensive successful efforts by individual property owners to protect the shoreline on a lot by lot basis Few serious erosion or flooding hazards exist in the Borough and the Authority's role has, therefore. primarily centred on protection of publicly owned land such as small parks This role is expected to continue. although specific sites have not been identified at this time Privately owned lands are also eligible for shoreline protection by the Authority provided that the operational criteria established in the Shoreline Management Program can be met This Project also includes shoreline maintenance of structures constructed as part of the Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program. City of Toronto It is proposed that shoreline management works be undertaken at Gibraltar Point on Toronto Island. The proposed works are expected to include a shoreline revetment, groynes and beach nourishment Borough of Scarborough The most serious hazards resulting from shoreline erosion in the Authority's area of jurisdiction are located in the Borough of Scarborough Numerous locations have been identified where serious hazards either already exist or are developing As indicated earlier. the following is the list of sites requiring early attention In all cases under existing conditions these sites are more critical than any in the other sectors This however cou ld change with water levels and number and severity of storms 8-85 - 4 - Lakehurst Crescent Fallingbrook Drive South Marine Drive Guildwood Parkway Crescentwood Road Kingsbury Crescent Springbank Avenue Wynnview Court Fishleigh Drive Pickering/Ajax Shoreline hazards in this sector have been minimized by the Authority through acquisition of substantial sections of the shoreline prior to development Erosion of these valuable public areas is proceeding and may require measures from time to time to reduce the rate of loss There are no specific sites identified for work at present although numerous sites are proposed for monitoring to determine erosion rates Implementation Criteria The following criteria will be followed by the Authority in the design and construction of erosion control works (a) The major emphasis in the undertaking of protective works will be to control erosion due to wave action The required works will be designed in consideration of maximum expected lake levels as well as peak storm conditions; (b) Consideration will be given to bank stabilization techniques to be combined with toe protection in areas where additional protection is required to retain slopes at steeper than natural angles; (c) Shore protection will be carried out on a design block basis Design blocks are shoreline segments with physical characteristics which permit the segment to be protected as a unit The characteristics to be considered include shoreline configuration, construction access, bank condition, talus formations and wave energy Climate, among others; (d) Shoreline protection will be installed on a technical priority basis related to the safety of property and structures within the limitations of funding, approvals, construction access and property acquisition Priorities shall be based on technical criteria including, but not necessarily limited, to the following - distance from top of bank to structure - rate of slope retreat - extent of groundwater seepage ....

This allows the Authority the ability to acquire properties which are in hazardous situations as a result of shore and bluff erosion and where remedial measures cannot be justified, from an economic basis Any property acquisition will be done in accordance with the Authority's Land Acquisition Program. Funding for waterfront hazard lands. however. will be raised as part of this Project In order for the Authority to carry out remedial works. appropriate engineering and soils studies are a necessity Environmental concerns must al so be addressed as part of any design and construction program. Funding is therefore required to carry out preliminary engineering designs, environmental inventories. geotechnical studies and slope monitoring studies Minor remedial works have also proven to be very effecti ve in reducing bl uff or toe erosion Through this component of the program the Authority can provide a "stitch in time" approach to many areas with the result that expensive remedial works may not be required in the future Such approaches as vegetation establishment. bluff drainage or beach nourishment have proven to be very successful and it is intended to continue to use this approach Funding for the three aspects of shoreline management is proposed on an annual basis as follows Major Remedial Works $ 575.000 Minor Remedial Works $ 15.000 Surveys and Studies $ 20.000 Acquisition $ 120.000 $ 730.000 The selection of sites for the annual work program will be finalized as part of the annual budget preparation However. as indicated. work will be concentrated at Lakehurst Crescent and South Marine Drive over the next three years Details of these two sites following below and are illustrated by photos 1 and 2 B-89 - 7 - Lakehurst Crescent The shoreline protection works at this site will be finalized as part of the 1984 work program. This work when completed will have provided protection to eight homes The protection will consist of bluff toe protection only Phase II of the works estimated at $200,000 00 will complete this site Bluff Height - SSm. Length of Shoreline - 400m. Potential Loss - 8 homes or $1,200,000 Total Cost - $450,000 Projected 1984 Cost - $200,000 South Marine Drive The first phase of protection works for this section is proposed for 1983 Again this section of shoreline is located in the Scarborough Bluff area Protective works are required to prevent the loss of 28 houses, a townhouse complex, and an apartment tower Very high rates of erosion are being experienced in this area with land being lost at 1 4 to 28m/year The value to be placed on the affected properties is very difficult to assess The relatively low cost of protective measures and the high degree of hazard more than justify remedial works The 1984 program will protect 200 m of shoreline at an estimated cost of $375,000 00 The total estimated cost is $4 4 million Problem - Bluff erosion due to wave action Height of Bluff - 50m. Length of Shoreline - 105 Om. - 200m. proposed for protection in 1983 Erosion Rate - 14- 2 8 m/yr Effects - Potential loss of 28 private homes, a townhouse complex and an apartment tower Cost - $375,000 00 for Phase I in 1984 As indicated earlier, work will not be completed at this site by the end of the Project A subsequent Project will be developed however, prior to the end of 1986 to continue with the Authority's Shoreline Management Program. - 8 - B-90 COSTS AND FINANCING Costs Implementation of the Shoreline Management Project 1984 - 1986 is estimated to require expenditures of $730.000 in each year for a total estimated cost of $2,190,000 The costs of the Project include legal and survey fees, land acquisition, engineering and geotechnical studies. site supervision and all materials. labour, equipment etc associated with the construction Financing It is proposed that the funds required for this Project be raised on the basis of 55% grant from the Province of Ontario and 45% from The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto as benefiting municipality Annual funding requirements are therefore as follows - Province of Ontario $ 401,500 Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto $ 328,500 TOTAL $ 730,000 Total Funding for 1984 - 1986 Province of Ontario $1.204,500 Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto $ 985.500 TOTAL $2,190.000 8-91 SCHEDULE "B" THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY BELLAMY ROAD RAVINE EROSION CONTROL PROJECT APRIL, 1983 B-92 CONTENTS PAGE INTRODUCTION 1 BACKGROUND 2 Design Objectivea 2 .

B-93 - 1 - BELLAMYROl\D RAVINE EROSTON CONTROL PROJECT INTRODUCTION This Project was developed by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to propose erosion control measures in Bellamy Road Ravine in the Borough of Scarborough The Project summarizes the nature of the problems, highlights the possible solutions, presents a construction program and suggests a shared funding arrangement Bellamy Road Ravine is a steep valley cut into the land between Kingston Road . and the Lake Ontario shoreline approximately mid-way between McCowan Road and Markham Road It has an overall length of approximately 1,050 m along which the bottom elevation drops about 96 m (Fig 1) Thirty-five homes are located around the perimeter of the ravine on lots which extend into the ravine in most cases As a result, most of the lands affected by erosion are privately owned with the exception of a road allowance which extends from Ravine Drive through the bottom of the ravine to the lake The ravine was probably originally formed by a watercourse creating a small gully when it flowed over the edge of the bluff to the lake As erosion continued in the soft material of the bluff the gully grew deeper and wider Erosion of the side walls of the ravine was accelerated by groundwater emergence at several points Over many centuries the side slopes of the ravine reached angles that would allow vegetation to be more or less permanently established and the ravine may have been entirely vegetated prior to the time when the surrounding land was first cleared for agricultural purposes As the watershed of the stream was developed for agricultural and eventually residential uses the frequency of flows and the volume of water carried by the stream increased substantially The bottom of the ravine eroded downwards causing instability in the side slopes and leading to gradual loss of vegetation and eventually loss of table land around the ravine (see photos) The invert of the ravine continues to deepen at this time and most of the vegetation has been lost from the slopes in the lower part of the ravine Table land is being lost at an alarming rate in the southern parts of the ravine and similar losses will become evident in the central and northerly portions if the instability in the lower slopes is allowed to affect the upper slopes B-94 PROJECT FOR EROSION CONTROL ON THE BELLAMY RD.

(2) stabilize the side slopes of the ravine; ( 3) protect and enhance remaining vegetative cover and re-establish vegetation in areas where slope angles can be flattened sufficiently to allow vegetation to be effective; (4) continue to protect the upper end of the ravine where previous works have prevented rapid erosion towards Kingston Road; B-99 - 3 - (5) improve wildlife habitat; and ( 6) establish a hiking trail through the ravine in the long term Alternative SOl.utions The study by Acres Consulting Services Limited in 1979 examined a wide range of approaches to control the stormwater including the following (1) tunnel scheme - a tunnel could be used to intercept stormwater at the location of the existing drop structure and divert it around the perimeter of the lower portion of the ravine and discharge it into Lake Ontario Filling of the lower portion of the ravine and slope stabilization measures could be undertaken after the water was diverted around the ravine; (2) culvert scheme - a corrugated steel pipe sewer could be installed in the base of the ravine to conduct stormwater from the existing drop structure to Lake Ontario The sewer would require a number of drop structures to negotiate the steep gradient in the ravine without exceeding suitable flow velocities in the pipes Pipe construction would be followed by filling in the lower portion of the ravine and bank stabilization measures; and (3) gabion lined channel - fill material could be placed in the bottom of the ravine up to a level above which stable slopes could be built A channel lined with gab ion baskets could then be built in the upper part of the fill to carry the stormwater flows to Lake Ontario As in the other schemes the fill materials to be placed would have an approximate depth of 15 metres Recommended Solution The Borough of Scarborough considered the alternatives available on the basis of the design objectives as well as the construction feasibility and long term maintenance implications Serious concerns were identified with regard to the feasibility and safety of constructing either the culvert scheme or the gabion channel scheme within the ravine while contending with the instability of the valley slopes and the stormwater discharge flows which would be present on occasion throughout the construction period In addition, the Borough felt that maintenance costs associated with either the culvert or the channel scheme would be considerably higher than for the tunnel scheme On the basis of these considerations it was concluded that the tunnel alternative combined with filling and bank stabilization measures was the best solution Figures 2 " 3 B-IOO K T R UPPER SECTION / -REMEDIAL WORKS TUNNEl INTAKE SHAFT LEGEND: ......... ~~ij~T~AL CREST ~~ Vl~~e:~TIh",.bR ~zON\~lV. ....

Barber, R. K Cooper, P. B. Flood RE PROGRESS REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS -- Marketing Plan for the Conservation Areas, Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Kortright Centre for Conservation In 1981 The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority engaged the firm Woods Gordon as marketing consultants, to prepare a Marketing Plan for the Authority This action was taken as a result of declining attendance, revenues from fees and other sources not keeping pace with costs. and increasing requirements for provincial grant and municipal levy to sustain operations uespite increasing municipal levy, the maintenance of the facilities has been deteriorating at an accelerating rate In summary, more funding is necessary to maintain the existing facilities It may be possible that users could provide a greater proportion of the funds required for operations and maintenance The fOllowing graphs serve to illustrate and bring into focus attendance, revenues, costs and municipal levy at the Authority's public use facilities. - 1 - -- ~ ATT ENDANCE 1,200 - --- -- t- --~ n K- -I- - /"\ -I- - \ OJ 300 - - 100 I ,/ .....

Generally, the Authority's facilities look "run down" Substantial improvements in maintenance were initiated in 1982 and are planned for 1983 I' (a) General at the Conservation Areas - a substantial catch-up program of maintenance was carried out in 1982; - maintenance upgrading will continue in 1983 under the C 0 E D Program; - upgrading of refreshment stands; - revitalizing the nature trails A maintenance and operations plan at each area will result in an improvement in quality - 5 - B-122 at Black Creek Pioneer Villaqe - the painting of several buildings in 1982: - the painting of the Flynn and Burwick houses in 1983: - minor repairs to all buildings Rather than being done on an irregular basis, the maintenance will be scheduled starting in 1983, and will be carried out based on a series of scheduled daily, monthly and quarterly inspections at the Kortright Centre for Conservation The approval of the C 0 E D Program, along with the Fisheries Sector Work Program, the Parks Maintenance Program, the Student Employment Program, the Federal/ Provincial Employment Incentive Program and both summer and winter Experience '83 Programs, will permit - repairs to, and substantial improvements to a number of indoor exhibits and outdoor demonstrations; - improvements to trails; - painting, staining and repairs to the Centre building; - maintenance of other buildings and facilities in the outdoors - 6 - 8-123 (b) Major Maintenance Regular maintenance is provided for within the annual operations and maintenance budget of each project Provision has. not been made for major maintenance. An adequate major maintenance reserve account must be established in order that major repairs can be made when required, without adversely affecting the annual operations and maintenance budgets (c) Food Services The lack of satisfaction from food services was a I serious impediment to growth at Black Creek Pioneer Village and at the Conservation Areas: and to a lesser extent at the Kortright Centre for Conservation On March 1st, 1983, the Authority started operating its own food service, on a management fee contract, with a Food Services Manager in the Authority office It is anticipated that the quality of service will improve and food will relate more closely to the area program and visitor, and become an attraction encouraging repeat visitation, with a resultant increase in sales and net revenues - 7 - 8-124 2 DEVELOPMENT The Plan recognizes the vital importance of the further development of facilities to meet the present and future requirements of the Authority's visitors Without ongoing development to update the facilities, it will be difficult to increase, or even sustain, present attendance levels (a) Conservation Areas The Marketing Plan recommends facility development to make the Conservation Areas more competitive in 1983 It has been estimated that a budget of $300,000 would be required This level of funding is not available in 1983, but the following facility improvements will be carried out - horseback riding at Claireville; - bulletin boards at the areas; - development of themes for each area, with printing and distribution of area brochure; - development of improved refreshment stands; - signage review and improvement Many of the Marketing Plan recommendations are being evaluated within the Master Planning process for the Boyd Conservation Area - 8 - 8-125 (b) Black Creek Pioneer Village The first phase of the Black Creek pioneer Village Visitors Centre will begin in 1983, and be completed for the 1984 operating season Work will be done on the following buildings in 1983 - Tinsmith Shop and Masonic Lodge (may be completed); - further restoration of the Richmond Rill Manse; - Sawyer's Rome (landscaping will be completed) ; - Taylor Cooperage (will be furnished and equipped) Through funding from C.O E D , the following buildings will be opened and staffed in 1983 - Doctor's Rome; - Flynn Home; - Sawyer's Home; - Taylor Cooperage; - Dominion Carriage Works The walkaround map has been improved, to make visitors more aware of all the Village sales outlets - 9 - 8-126 (c) Kortright Centre for Conservation The development of the area was seriously curtailed in mid 1982 by a cutback in the Ministry of Natural Resources grant The facility development is now dependent on funding from contractual arrangements with Ministries, make-work programs and The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation The following facility developments will be completed in 1983 - marsh viewing facilities and boardwalk; - forestry trail; - outdoor Energy exhibits, including a 10 KW windmill; - exhibits for Forestry, Water, Fish & Wildlife and Renewable Energy Themes; - additional audio-visuals; - Land Theme building and exhibits; - provision of additional eating area; - theatre seating; - temporary Wood Arts Centre - 10 - 8-127 3 POOG~ The innovative programs for the public in the Conservation Areas, Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Kortright Centre for Conservation attract additional visitors, provide increased opportunities for publicity and promotion, and encourage repeat visitations. To some extent, special programs tend to counteract the effect of adverse weather conditions on attendance. Some programs, in addition to the admission fee, provide opportunities for additional revenue from fees for staff or equipment use, increased sales from food services and other sales outlets (especially at Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Kortright Centre for Conservation) The following programs are scheduled for 1983 - 11 - 8-128 PROGItAMS AND EVENTS ... 1911l !!2!!.!.!l Con..rvatlon Ar...

(Albion Bill.) - 12 - 8-129 Many programs are similar to those carried out in 1982 Some new programs and events are being added and the least successful programs are being eliminated For example, five new programs were added to Black Creek Pioneer Village, and additional "participation" components are being added where possible. 1984 will mark the sesquicentennial of the City of Toronto and the bicentennial of the Province of Ontario The staff is currently studying ways and means of incorporating special programs and promotions at the Conservation Areas, Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Kortright Centre for Conservation, to g1 ve the publicity a contemporary and fresh approach for 1984 4 HUMAN RESOURCES The need for more "direct sell" by all staff at each facility is required if the Authority is to maximize its marketing efforts. Training programs have to be targetted at seasonal staff, regular staff and supervisory staff A program is currently being developed, with the assistance of the Authority's new Personnel Officer This program would be interdivisional and be a supplement to existing divisional programs, providing for training of staff at all levels on hospitality and selling - 13 - 8-130 P R I C I N G The admission fee at the Kortright Centre for Conservation was increased from $1 00 to $2 00 for adults, and from $0 50 to $1 00 for students and children, in 1982, with annual membership being $25. per family and $15 per individual The fee will remain the same in 1983, as do the fees at the Conservation Areas and at Black Creek Pioneer Village ($2 weekdays, $3 weekends per car, $30 per season's pass at the Areas; $4 per adult, $1 75 per child or student, family maximum $8 00, $25 family and $15 individual annual citizenship at the Village) Revenues from citizenships at Black Creek Pioneer Village and memberships at the Kortright Centre go to the Foundation's Growth Endowment Fund, with interest revenues provided to help fund operations and maintenance at these facilities As a promotional incentive, during the recent years substantial discounting has been offered, including free tickets distributed to selected individuals and audiences A non-restrictive discount practice should be continued in 1983, in order to take advantage of private sector promotional opportunities, and this practice should be carefully monitored in 1983, to determine its effectiveness in increasing attendance and revenue - 14 - 8-131 MARKETING PLAN 1983 COM M U N I CAT ION S S T RAT E G Y The success of a Marketing Program is predicated on the availability of product, and Metropolitan Toronto's product is available in all sorts of packages backed by an extensive and, in some cases, a nearly overwhelming structure of support and sales Metropolitan Toronto's appeals are varied Products are packaged in dozens of imaginative, appealing and financially attractive combinations This Authority operates in the largest and most influential market in Canada, where there probably exists every element imaginable of a competitive environment There is no other region in Canada that offers " as many alternatives for leisure-time activities Consider the overwhelming number of different. facilities available for recreational/learning experiences Each one offers differential pricing and uses varied marketing and communications (advertising and promotion) strategies The development of a Marketing Plan by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority was initiated in 1980 It came about in response to a perceived need to increase attendance and/or revenues at Black Creek Pioneer Village, the - 15 - 8-13 2 Kortright Centre for Conservation, the Conservation Areas and Indian Line Tourist Campground THE CQf.1i'lUiH CATIONS STRATEGY - 1983 OBJECTIVE To maintain the upward trend of attendance at the facilities that was recorded in 1982 STRATEGY To meet the objective, a program has been developed which encompasses all aspects of the Authority's communication activity, including promotion, publicity, advertising and sales services In 1983, the Communications Program will expand on providing information on the recreational opportunities available in the Metropolitan Toronto region The program is designed to take advantage of every opportunity available to compete in a very volatile and aggressive market place METHODS News Releases Photo Releases News Articles Newsletters Flyers -

Not only is the property susceptible to the Regionai flood but the buildings are susceptible to something less than the 5 year flood. In fact the brick yard has been flooded or nearly flooded almost annually over the past 5 years On the occasions where the buildings were not flooded, however access has been restricted due to the necessity to close the Bayview Avenue Extension as a result of high water on the road Preliminary estimates of the flood damages that could be expected based on a study prepared in 1979 indicated a pre~nt value of average annual damages of $310,000 This figure represents only the identifiable damages and does not include intangibles such as loss of business, emergency response costs, lost revenues, and lost salaries and wages ~ Public ownership of this property would ensure that flood damages and losses to the existing private industry or potential future uses would not be perpetuated Not only is this property located within the Regional floo~ plain of the Don River but it has been designated by many sources as a site which demonstrates one of the most complete records of Pleisticene geology in North America if not the world The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in its Environmentally Significant Areas Study has identified this property as being regionally, provincially and nationally significant Extensive study and recording of the stratigraphy if the brick yard quarry has also been done by the Ministry of Natural Resources and various universities and other earth science agencies The planning and development of the area for public uses; once acquired, will be done in conjunction with the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto In view of the fact that most of the property has been excavated to a depth of approximately 60m some filling will be required to maximize Z.

Appended to this flow chart diagram is a detailed description of each task including the rationale for the task, a description of the task, the responsibility of the consultants, and the specific outputs resulting from the task The budget required for this marketing plan work will remain at $9,000 for both fees and expenses This assumes that any costs associated with the hiring of outside individuals fOt: the proposal workshop/"brainstorming" session will be paid directly by the Authority This budget allows for two meetings, namely a one-day meeting session with Authority Personnel at our offices and the workshop day outlined in the attached pages The individuals participating in the developing of the marketing plan will be Messrs McClew, Reece and Linton, who were all involved in the developing of the 1982-1983 marketing plan Resumes for these individuals were appended to our July 10 letter We appreciate the need to begin this work as soon as possible I look forward to discussing this plan with the members of the Marketing Sub-Committee on the morning of August 19th With best regards, ~.

AS ,,~ \ o "ODDS GORDON TASK' o AUTHORITY TAlKS o TASKS THAT ARE 'ART OF IlUMMER SURVEY WORK Ol I N en en 8-267 I INITIAL DISCUSSIONS WITH AUTHORITY PERSONNEL Rationale In order to ensure that the 1984 Marketing Plan is practical and possible, it will be necessary to determine important constraints governing the activities of the Authority over the coming years as well as to firmly establish the expectations of the Marketing sub-committee concerning the critical areas to be addressed These will include - capital budget available to make facility improvements - expected increase (if any) in Authority's operating budget - reaction to 1983 marketing plan - any anticipated organizational changes in the Authority and their implications - any areas or facilities thought to be especially in need of improvement To obtain this information, we propose to hold discussions with various Authority personnel These will include all members of the Marketing Sub-Committee, as well as any other Authority members and staff recommended by the Sub-Committee Description These sessions would be short, one-on-one interviews, where the consultants would personally discuss the limitations and desirable direction of the 1984 Marketing Plan with Authority personnel To the extent possible, we would prefer to hold these sessions at our offices Consultant Responsibilities: Woods Gordon will be responsible for holding these interview sessions as well as recording and collecting data We expect that Authority staff would actually set up and arrange the interviews B-268 - 2 - Outputs Aside from working notes kept by the consultants, there will be no physical outputs from this task - B-269 - 3 - 2 REVIEW OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION Rationale: In addition to the valuable research findings previously discussed, there will be other useful sources of information that will have a bearing upon the development of a marketing plan for the MTRCA (an obvious example is the annual survey data collected by the Metropolitan Toronto Visitor's and Convention Bureau) In this task we will examine such available data Descript ion: We will consult a number of sources to obtain data on tourist and recreation trends that might be relevant to the development of the marketing plan for MTRCA. These include - CGOT, Ministry of Tourism and Recreation - Culture and Recreation Master Plans - Our own recreation and tourism work - Other data sources (eg Visitors and Convention Bureau) Any relevant findings from this review will be fully documented Consultant Responsibility: This task will be entirely the responsibility of Woods Gordon Outputs Each information source will be fully documented In addition, for each, we will list what, in our judgement, are the implications of the information in terms of the critical elements of product, price, promotion, delivery and research of the marketing plan This documentation will then be given to Authority staff for their preparation of the marketing plan - B-270 - 4 - 3. DEVELOP OUTLINE MARKETING PLAN Rationale: In order to ensure that the 1984 Marketing Plan (which is to be prepared by the Authority) is comprehensive and addresses basic questions, we will prepare a marketing plan outline which will specify the format of the marketing plan, the areas to be addressed, and the key questions to be answered (arising from both the interviews with Authority personnel as well as the review of other data and the results Qf the summer survey) Description: The format of this marketing plan outline will consider the basic product, price, promotion, delivery and researc~ aspects for each Conservation area and facility Where a number of solutions and options are possible, we will present these for consideration by Authority personnel, along with our suggestions and/or ranking for each Consultant Responaibility: This task will be entirely the , responsibility of Woods Gordon --- - - - -- -- -- Outputs The specific output from this task will be a "skeleton" marketing plan It will reflect the ultimate format for the plan, and contain a number of questions, key points, etc B-271 - 5 - 4 WORKSHOP/"BRAINSTORH" SESSION Rationale After initially sorting out our ideas and questions in the development of the outline marketing plan, it will be useful to discuss and re-think these aspects, as well as to obtain some fresh viewpoints on matters To do this we propose a one-day "brainstorm" or "think tank" session Description: The session, as we view it at this point in time, would consist of a two-part day, held in Woods Gordon's Toronto offices The morning would be devoted to a workshop session, attended by various outside experts who could act as 'resource' or 'idea' people The morning session would be hosted by Woods Gordon, who would lead discussion on a number of points and questions that have emerged up to this point in the process This morning session would, of course, be attended by members of the Marketing Sub-Committee, as well as by selected Authority personnel After a luncheon (arranged by the Consultants) the external resource people will leave, and the bulk of the afternoon will be devoted to a full discussion of the Marketing Plan outline and any revisions or modifications as a result of the morning session The basic objective of this afternoon session will be to obtain agreement among the marketing plan Sub-Committee members as to the outline marketing plan Consultant Responsibilities The consultants will be responsible for sponsoring and hosting this session Authority personnel will be responsible for making the necessary scheduling arrangements With respect to obtaining outside experts, we expect that the Authority ... . B-272 - 6 - will identify persons it feels could make a worthwhile contribution to this brainstorm session We expect to be involved in this process to a reasonable extent Outputs Full notes will be taken during the morning and afternoon sessions A major physical output will be a listing of the ideas, suggestions and comments that emerged from this session Another physical output will be a revised Marketing Plan outline, based upon the comments at the afternoon session '- B-273 - 7 - s. PREPARATION OF KARKETIRG PLAN Ratiouale At this point, a number of relevant materials will have been developed, including the results from the summer survey, a review of other relevant information sources and an assessment of their implications, and the marketing plan outline This information will be critical to Authority staff in the development of a first draft of the 1984 Marketing Plan This, of course, represents the final and most important output of this entire process Description: The sequence of events that we foresee in this task is straightforward Authority personnel will initially prepare the first draft of the 1984 Marketing Plan, following the marketing plan outline previously identified and responding to all questions raised Woods Gordon will then review this initial draft, suggesting changes, modifications, areas for further elaboration, etc , as appropriate Authority staff will then prepare a final version of the Marketing Plan Consultant Responsibility: The consultants will, of course, remain "on call" throughout this process Our responsibility will not be to prepare the Marketing Plan; rather it will be to aid and advise the Authority in their preparation of the plan Outputs The output of this task will be a detailed, comprehensive and relevant 1984 Marketing Plan This product will be assured by virtue of the nature of the study process undertaken B-274 SCHEDULE "D" To The Chairman and Members of the Executive Committee, M T R.C A.

B-324 CONTENTS OF BRIEF I ?UR?OSE II LOCATION AND DESCRI?TION III HISTORY OF FLOODING IV COSTS AND FINANCING V A??ROVALS , , . , , , B-325 I PURPOSE The purpose of this project is to permit The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to exercise the powers afforded by The Conservation Authorities Act R S 0 1970, Chap 78, as amended to establish and undertake in the area over which it has jurisdiction, a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources in accordance with the Flood Control Program of the Watershed Plan The purpose of this project is to meet one of the defined objectives of the Flood Control Program which is to maintain flood control structures as required in order that they can continue to perform as designed. Through this project, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will replace the twenty-five year old flood control pumping facility within the community of Goodwood in the Township of Uxbridge The completion of the improved pumping facility will enable the Authority to continue to provide the existing level of flood protection provided to the community since the station was constructed by the Authority in 1958 , . B-326 II LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The community of Goodwood is located in the Township of Uxbridge on Highway 047 between the Village of Stouffville and the Town of Uxbridge The community was developed within an area of irregular terrain and is situated in a depression or bowl from which no natural overland drainage outlet exists (see attached location map) As a result of the community's location, flooding has been a problem since its inception (see attached section on History of Flooding) The flooding problems associated with Goodwood were identified in the 1956 R D H.P Conservation Report prepared by the Department of Planning and Development, and as a consequence of this report, a study of the flooding situation was undertaken by W 0 Chisholm, Consulting Engineers The study completed in June of 1957 for The Metropolitan 7oronto and Region Conservation Authority recommended that a pumping facility and internal drainage network be constructed to alleviate t!1e flooding problem The works recommended within the above report were constructed in 1958 at an estimated cost of $37,000 and consisted of a , pumping station and collection system which receives the local surface drainage. The flood waters drained to the pumping station from within th~ community are pumped southerly over the height of land to 'a small watercourse draining to the Duffin Creek The existing flood control system has now been operating for over twenty-five years and for the most part has protected the community from any significant flood damage During the lengthy operation period of the system, a number of probl~~s have hindered the efficient vperation of the station Perhaps the most common has been the free~ing of the intake structure, this is due to the cesign of the intake and that the intake is not located within t!1e building which would facilitate heating Along with the above mentioned problems, the age of the facility has become a concern, with replacement components becoming unavailable and increasing maintenance costs being required to maintain operation Also since the pump must b~ started manually, the Author it y ~ust hire an operator to ensure the operation of the pumping facility when requi:-ed I\s a result of the problems arising with the system, the age of the pumping facility and the expeoted increases in maintenance and operational costs, a study wa~ commissioned by the AuthQrity to investigate the present facility The study was also to determine what changes were required to update the system in order to maintain the level of flood protection presently being provided to the community of Goodwood The study entitled 'Modifications to Goodwood Pumping Station' was completed in December of 1982 by Chisholm, Fleming and Associates and outlined several schemes to incorporate an updated flood control system for the community After reviewing the alternatives described within the report, the Authority is proposing to undertake the construction of the alternative requiring a complete reconstruction of the pumping faCility The works being proposed include the demoli~ion of the existing pumphous~ and the construction of an underground chamber to house two new submersible pumps slong with the piping of the intake ditch This new structure will facilitate the heating of the intake assembly to negate the effects of ice and ensure the efficient operation of the pumping system Also proposed is the conversion of the existing diesel engine to provide standby power in order to maintain operation in the event of a power failure to the pumping system Electrical modifications are also proposed to completely automate the pumping facili ty Automation of the system will improve the effective use of the pumps as well as remove the need for an operator, thus reducing the operational costs . 8-327 As mentioned, the proposed works will result in several benefits, i e the level of flood protection previously provided by the Authority to the community of Goodwood will be maintained, a reduction in operational expenses will occur due to the automation of the system and the anticipated increase in maintenance costs required to continue operation of the existing system will be greatly reduced Since the expected life of the existing system has been reached, as it will for all such facilities, it is therefore essential that the system be updated The Township of Uxbridge and Authority staff have had discussions regarding the Goodwood pumping station in terms of operation and maintenance Staff have indicated to the Township of Uxbridge a desire to see the operations and maintenance aspects of the facility become the responsibility of the Township upon completion of an updating of the existing facility. The operation of this facility by the Township of Uxbridge will result in an additional benefit to this Authority by negating any maintenance costs over the life of the updated pumping station. The overall implications of having the pumping facility under the jurisdiction of the Township would be a reduction in the Authority's operations and maintenance costs and having the operational responsibilities of the Goodwood pumping station in a more logical and appropriate place , . -..-.. .1"' ..,. ,,~__"I:....- ....... ......-.. ----- - .. - - ....... --- --... -- ....- - ----- '" ,.................UO'...-4I. ................. ~........d"""'.. o..I"--.f ....~/_o( ,..... c..,....... u. lJl ,.... _..... .._..~.!>'~ _...

On several occasions, flooding of septic tanks and wells occurred resulting in potential health problems The area draining to the community is approximately 380 acrs whih produces approximately 80 acre-ft of water during the spring freshet The area of flooding has been deliniated at 45 5 acres resulting in 23 stru9tures being inundated prior to the flood control works being constructed Since the operation of the pumping facility first began in 1958, only minor flood~ng situations have been recorded, mostly due to ice within the drainage network ~ . . 5-330 IV COSTS AND FINANCING The expenditures required to implement this project shall be understood to include engineering and geotechnical studies, site supervision, environmental assessment and all materials, labour, equipment, etc associated with the construction ~ Activity Mobilization/Demobilization ~2,000 00 Site Preparation/Restoration $6,000 CO Construction of underground concrete chamber $35,000.00 Purchase and installation of 2 FYGT 88 HP $51 ,000 00 submersible pumps and motors Piping and connection to existing forcemain $25,000 no Installation of new electrical services $6,000 00 Electrical distribution, lighting and heating .t3,OOO 00 Automation of controls $2,000 00 Conv~rsion of existing ~iesel Sngine $9,000 00 Engineering, leg al , inflation and contingency $36,000 00 allowance PROJECT TOTAL - $175,000 00 Financing !his project will be funded as follows Province of Ontario - $96,250 00 Authority - ~78 ,750 00 The Regional Municipality of Durham be designated as the benefiting municipality to raise the Authority's share of the costs of the works, being 45% of the total , , B-331 V APPROVALS . 8-332 SCHEDULE "Bit ONT~O REGULATION 139/80 A.s Amended REGULATION MADE ONDER THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES ACT CONSERVATION AREAS METROPOLIT1\N TORONTO 1\ND REGION SCHEDULE 1 In this Schedule "season" means the summer season that commences on the 1st day of April and ends on the 31st day of October in any year or the winter season that commences on the 1st day of November and ends on the 31st day of March of the next following year. 2 The following fees shall be paid to the Authority for permits issued by the Authority and for the occupation and use of the lands and works, vehicles, boats, recreational facilities and services of the Authority: Proposed 1983 1984 (l) For parking in all conservation areas except Black Creek, Pa1grave, Woodbridge, Claremont, and Humber Trails, { a) for one vehicle carrjing less than ten passengers, ( i) weekends and holidays, per day . . . $ 3.00 $ 3 so (ii) weekdays, excluding holidays, per day . 2 00 2 25 (b) for an annual parking permit for one vehicle carrying less than ten passengers, per yea~ . 30 00 35 00 (c) for one vehicle carrying ten or more passengers, per day . 20 00 20 00 (2) For a permit at Glen Haffy Extension, (a) for the use of each fishing pond, including vehicle parking for not more than twenty vehicles, per day . . . 84 00 100 00 (b) for parking, for each vehicle in addition to the twenty vehicles for which a fee is paid under clause (a) , (i) weekends and holidays, per day . . .

Page 1-1 . 1984 BUDGET Authority Purpose, Achievements and Objectives The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority adopt~d a comprehensive Watershed Plan on December 5, 1980, to establish long-range goals in nine program areas specific to the 3467 square kilometres within Authority jurisdiction The adoption of the Plan is in compliance with the direction of the Conservation Authorities Act to undertake a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources and of the Province of Ontario to study and investigate the watershed and prepare and file wi th its member municipalities and the Minister of Natural Resources, a Watershed Plan. The Watershed Plan has been filed with, and concurred in by, the Authority's member municipalites and the Director, Central Region, Ministry of Natural Resources The Authority, in the Plan, has identified the river valleys, the Lake Ontario shoreline and the headwaters of the Oak Ridges inter lobate moraine and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to which its programs are applied. The Watershed Plan is comprised of nine (9) interrelated program~~ The basic requirement of the Authority is to provide protection to human life and property from the hazards of flooding and erosion The Flood Control Program and three complementary programs, Erosion and Sediment Control, Storm Water Management and Conservation Land Management, establish the means to accomplish this objective and recognize the relationships between rural and urban drainage, erosion and sedimentation, and flood i ng Flood Control Program - Provides for remedial measures, land acquisition and the administration of regulatory measures to maintain flood plains unobstructed to ensure the passage of flood fl ows . Erosion and Sediment Control Program - Provides for corrective works and the administration of regulatory measures to protect life and property. Storm Water Management Program - Establishes a basis for co-operative action by the Authority and its member municipalities with respect to water management problems and the preparation of master drainage plans. Conservation Land Management Program - Promotes conservation on private and public lands by providing reforestation, habitat improvement, stream improvement and a conservation planning service. Land Acquisition Program - Provides for the acquisition of flood plain and valley lands, waterfront lands and environmentally significant lands to ensure proper conservation land management. The hectares of land acquired by the Authority are being managed to achieve the objectives of the Watershed Plan Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program - This program has two components, Shoreline Management to reduce the hazards of flOOding and erosion at the land/lake interface, and Development to create water-oriented recreation opportunities 19B3 09~19 Page 1-2 Watershed Recreation Program - Enables the development and operations of recreation areas for public use and enjoyment, a valuable ancillary benefit on conservation lands Heritage Conservation Program - Recognizes the special contribution that a~ historical perspective gives to the understanding of r~source management. Community Relations Program - Establishes the means by which the Authority can communicate with the community in order to gain understanding and acceptance of its conservation programs. The 1984 Budget Estimates derive from the Watershed Plan reflectiog a strong orientation to Water and Related Land Management Programs and emphasizing planning, regulatory and environmentally acceptable solutions to water management problems. The Budget proposals also address a number of administrative matters - disposition of municipal levies on hand - provision for gapping, set at 1% of full-time wages, salaries and benefits - identification and allocation of interest income The adoption of this Budget will not enable the Author i ty to maintain the level of service provided to the community in 1983 and will not enable the Watershed Plan objectives to be implemented at the rate anticipated on adoption. Format of Presentation The 1984 Budget Estimates are based on the same program management format as the 1983 budget forma t. The format is designed to identify more clearly the programs adopted by the Authori ty in its Watershed Plan. In addition, the budget estimates are organized into management units to more clearly iden~ify and manage the Authority programs. The principles of program budget management have been used to develop the Budget. There are five major types of provincial grants available through the Ministry of Natural Resources to Conservation Authori ties 1 Administration . 2. Water and Related Land Management 3 Conservation and Recreation Land Management 4 Speci a 1 Projects and Programs 5 Supplementary Grants (not applicable to MTRCA) Commencing in the 1983 budget year, the Ministry of Natural Resources recommends the payment of grants to authorities based on a priority ranking system, using technical criteria, which compares the 'need' for individual projects in a province-wide matrix . 1983 09.19 Page 1-3 Authority Programs 1 Finance and Administration (a) Program Administration (b) General Expense (c) Property Acquisition, Maintenance and Management 2.

Jones Chairman Secretary-Treasurer KC B-372 SCHEDULE "A" SUMMARY ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT AREAS STUDY 1982 THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY : B-373 SUMMARY ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT AREAS STUDY In 1978, a study of Environmentally Significant Areas was initiated by staff of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (MTRCA) The purpose of the study was to identify ESAs and to suggest direction for their management. The study comprises four phases (FIGURE 1). The first three phases were completed over a period of four years (FIGURE 2) Phase I involved the review of other ESA studies and existing information sources to prepare a preliminary list of candidate significant areas. Criteria for the identification of ESAs were also developed. Phase II extended over the following three summers for inventory of the candidate areas At the completion of each field season, an interim report was prepared identifying areas considered for ESA designation. The completion of the third interim report marked the onset of Phase III. This phase involved the assessment and designation of ESAs based on the interim reports and fine tuning of the selection criteria. Phase IV will be an ongoing exercise of updating ESA information. This updating will permit the designation of new ESAs, the deletion of those which no longer fulfill the selection criteria or the refinement of others Due to the overall size of the MTRCA's jurisdiction and in consideration of time, staff availability and funds, the study area was limited to the inclusion of major natural resource areas only These resource areas were: - the Oak Ridges Morraine (including the Niagara Escarpment) - the primary valley systems (areas draining 1300 ha or greater), and - the Lake Ontario Waterfront As a result, the current ESA study should be considered as a first step. Additional studies beyond the bounds of the current study are possible in the future In th interest of consistency, it is suggested that any such additional studies by other agencies or groups use the selection criteria and interpretations established by the MTRCA ESA Criteria In compiling criteria for the selection of ESAs, the MTRCA reviewed similar studies throughout the Province The selection criteria used are as follows Criterion 1 The area represents a distinctive and unusual landform within the MTRCA region, Ontario or Canada.

Criterion 7 The area is sufficiently large to afford habitat for species which require extensive blocks of suitable habitat. The study was approached from a biophysical viewpoint, with emphasis on geomorphological features, surface hydrology, and terrestrial and aquatic ecology The geomorphological component provided information on significant or unusual landforms for the region The surficial hydrology provided information on areas of high soil permeability and surficial water storage areas Terrestrial and aquatic ecology provided data on areas containing rare and significant species or population of species, habitats and ecosystems, and areas that are essential to maintaining biological continuity Approximately 126 ESAs were identified as a result of the study These ESAs and the criteria they fulfill have been identified on the attached summary Table 1 TABLE 1 CD ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT AREAS BY MUNICIPALITY I w -.J -.J ESA Criter1a Fulfilled Area Municipali tv No Watershed Local Name 1 2a 2b 2c 3 4 5 6 7 (ha) ownership .

Preservation involves the artificial maintenance of an ESA at a specific point in its successional history The natural processes are interfered with to retain a desired state. For example, it may be desirable to ensure the retention of a provincially or nationally rare species through active preservation practices, or to retain a particular state on the basis of educational or scientific significance. Protection, on the other hand. concentrates on safeguarding the natural features, functions and processes of an ESA from external, artificial disturbances Such disturbances mLght include the physical loss of an ESA due to a land use change or the physical modification of an ESA by activities such as tree cutting, indiscriminate dumping or incompatible open space/park uses Since the protection of an ESA does not interfere with the internal natural processes of succession, it is conceivable that an ESA designation may be removed from a site when the selection criteria are no longer satisfied. The issue of preservation versus protection is complex, making the preference of one management philosophy over the other difficult, unless examined on a site by site basis - However, as a management strategy guide, it is proposed that all ESAs be protected to the extent possible, while those ESAs be preserved where site specific conditions and potential uses warrant MTRCA Involvement The MTRCA has been involved in resource management since its inception in 1957 Its most recent planning effort, the Watershed Plan (1980 ) identifies a number of overall strategies for the management of the river valleys, the Oak Ridges Morraine and the Lake Ontario Waterfront Three component programs directly apply to ESAs - the Land Acquisition Program, the Stormwater Management Program and the Conservation Land Management Program. The Land Acquisition Program provides the MTRCA with the direction to acquire lands in and adjacent to the major river valleys, along the waterfront and in the headwaters zone for general conservation or hazard land protection Wi th the completion of this ESA study, the implementation of the Land Acquisition Program can be more finely tuned to include specific boundaries for ESAs. One of the major principles of the Storm Water Management Program is to minimize impacts on the watershed system as a result of new development In this regard, the Program calls for the preparation of master drainage plans, which would include the establishment of a resource data base and the identification of development B-383 - 4 - constraints The five major concerns to be addressed in a master drainage plan are flood control, erosion control, water quality, base flow and the environment With the completion of the ESA study, the environmental component of master drainage planning will include information on ESAs The goal of the Conservation Land Management Program is to "contribute to the quality of land and water resources through a comprehensive program of conservation land management, including forest management, wildlife habitat improvement, stream improvement, source area protection, and conservation land planning." To implement this program, the MTRCA provides technical assistance and advice to private landowners and public agencies in an effort to maintain sound conservation management practices The MTRCA also cooperates with others in identifying and protecting areas of biological and hydrologic significance and sensitivity as well as in the management of such areas on an individual basis The orientation of the Conservation Land Management Program is such that the preparation of management guidelines and the actual management of ESAs can readily be incorporated In addition the Fill, Construction and Alterations to Waterways Regulations under Section 28 of The Conservation Authorities Act, can be applied, in part, to the ESAs The MTRCA currently has mapped major portions of the valley lands and the Lake Ontario waterfront within its jurisdiction, in order to administer its Regulations These regulated areas contain ESAs: however not all ESAs are contained within these limits The Regulations are permissive in nature and require the merits of each proposal to be judged on a site specific basis The MTRCA's Watershed Plan and Regulations do therefore have the potential to address ESAs, however their current application is limited The following are suggested for future direction 1 that the concept of ESAs be recognized as a component of the MTRCA's implementation of its mandate: 2 that the Watershed Plan, in particular the Land Acquisition Program and the Conservation Land Management Program, be amended to incorporate the ESAs currently identified and the concepts of ESA management: 3 that environmental reviews be undertaken for all proposed MTRCA works which may impact ESAs and where potential impacts are identified, the means of mitigating these potential impacts be addressed: 4 that individual management plans be prepared for ESAs on land owned and managed by the MTRCA other public agencies who manage MTRCA land or own and manage their own land also be requested to prepare individual ESA management plans, with the assistance of the MTRCA or other appropriate agencies: B-384 - 5 - 5. that management guidelines be prepared by the MTRCA explaining the significance of ecological systems (i e marsh. forests, etc ) and identifying the benefits/disbenefits of various actions: 6 that a strategy be prepared within the community Relations Program to inform and/or educate the general public and private landowners concerning ESAs: 7. that all master drainage planning undertaken by the MTRCA, or in conjunction with the municipalities, other agencies or developers, recognize and incorporate ESAs: 8 that the MTRCA utilize ESA information as part of the data base for the municipal plan review process: 9 that the regulatory powers of the MTRCA, under Section 28 of The Conservation Authorities Act, with respect to the placing or dumping of fill be investigated. as to their potential to include those ESAs not currently regulated: and 10 that the ESA data base be maintained and refined in conjunction with the MTRCA's member municipalities, the Province of Ontario, affected agencies, special interest groups and others It has been recognized that The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation (MTRCF) will also assist in the protection of ESAs To date the financial support of the Foundation has contributed significantly to several of the MTRCA's major capital projects. With the completion of these projects, the Foundation's long-term objectives will include the establishment of a Conservation Land Acquisition Fund for the purpose of acquiring "environmentally sensitive lands when they come on the market" (MTRCF 1977) Municipal Involvement Incompatible land use is perhaps the most significant factor affecting ESAs Much of the power to control development and, therefore, protect ESAs lies with the municipalities, under the Planning Act. Municipalities have the ability, through the land use planning process, to guide and direct development based on the policies set forth in official plans, secondary plans (or their equivalent), restricted area (zoning) by-laws, site plan control by-laws and plan of subdivision controls. Further, where appropriate, innovative measures such as density transfers or bonus systems may be utilized. Most of the municipalities within MTRCA jurisdiction have Open Space or Environmental policy statements in their planning documents which recognize the significance of the major resource features - the river valleys, the Oak Ridges Moraine and the Lake Ontario waterfront Few, however, include reference or policies specific to ESAs This situation is understandable as the municipalities have been aware of the MTRCA ESA study and have been awaiting its completion - B-385 - 6 - Where new official plans have been developed since 1970, municipalities have incorporated Hazard Land policies Hazard Lands are areas subject to natural conditions or physical processes, such as flooding or instability, which pose a threat to life and property if developed ESAs on the other hand, are areas which possess unique or unusual natural features and/or are essential for the maintenance of specific natural processes. ESAs are susceptible to modification or destruction by human activity Often ESAs may be found on Hazard Lands, such as a marsh community within the flood plain, however, not all Hazard Lands are ESAs Since ESAs may occur within Hazard Lands, it is important to distinguish between the two in planning policies, in order to ensure that ESAs are adequately addressed It may be possible to overcome the physical limitations of Hazard Lands through te9hnical modification, however, this same modification could have the potential for substantially altering or eliminating the ESA Similarly, where an ESA is located within lands designated for Open Space, separate policies specific to ESAs are preferrable as many uses permitted in Open Space designations may not be desirable for ESAs. Consideration should be given, therefore, to having ESAs recognized separately or as an additional level of concern in planning documents distinct from Open Space or Hazard Lands ~ Central to the protection of ESAs, and probably the most controversial issue, is the degree of development or land use alteration that may be permitted to occur Certain Ontario municipalities have established ESAs as "no development" areas, while others have been prepared to consider low impact development compatible with the specific characteristics of the individual ESA This principle of "no development" versus "low impact development" is established in policies at the Official Plan level Decisions on detailed land use and density, where permitted, and the delineation of boundaries are left to subsequent stages of the planning process While each municipality within the MTRCA's jurisdiction must develop its own philosophy and approach to ESAs, the following are offered for consideration 1 ESAs, as determined by the MTRCA study or other appropriate studies, be recognized in the Official Plan It should be noted that additional ESAs or deletion of areas, if they no longer fulfill the criteria, may be made from time to time through amendment to the Official Plan 2 The Official Plan should provide policies to define the intent of the municipality with respect to ESAs Subsequent levels in the planning process should determine specific policies, details of permitted uses and management guidelines based on the individual characteristics of any ESA - 7 - B-386 3 The identification of ESAs in Official Plans and the policy statements specific to them should be distinct from those for Open Space or Hazard Lands or their equivalents 4. Proposals for development within or adjacent to an ESA, or having the potential to affect an ESA, should be accompanied by an environmental impact study The purpose of the study would be to demonstrate if any adverse impacts existed and if so the measures which would be taken to minimize the impacts on the ESA The possible requirement for an environmental impact study should apply to both public and private proposals 5 Where appropriate, municipalities should consider the use of such techniques as density t~ansfer or bonus systems, utilization for calculation of permissible density or other innovative mechanisms to maintain ESAs and/or bring them into public ownership. 6 Where ESAs occur within the public open space system, the planning and management of municipal parklands should recognize and provide for the protection of ESAs The MTRCA is prepared to cooperate with other public agencies in this regard 7 The municipalities cooperate with the MTRCA to ensure the integrity of privately-owned ESAs by forwarding private development or redevelopment proposals involving ESAs to the MTRCA for review 8 Municipalities seek the cooperation of adjacent municipalities and/or conservation authorities in addressing ESAs which overlap boundaries 9 The identification of ESAs does not imply that these lands will be purchased by a public agency not that ESAs on private lands are open for public use Provincial Involvement At the Provincial level, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of the Environment are the agencies most involved with the conservation and protection of the natural environment The Ministry of Natural Resources has responsibility for conservation of the natural environment and regulation of commercial and recreational use of natural resources The following legislation is of direct application to ESAs - the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act which regulates the location and nature of improvement in a water course so as to ensure the perpetuation of the fish, wildlife and other natural resources dependent on such watersr B-387 - 8 - - the Woodlands Improvement Act which enables the MNR to enter into agreements with private landowners for the planting of nursery stock and improvement of woodlands Under this Act, Cabinet can also make regulations to designate parts of Ontario as private forest management areas: - the Endangered Species Act which preserves areas of natural habitat for designated endangered species in the Province - the Fisheries Act which is federal legislation administered in Ontario by the Ministry of Natural Resources The purpose of this Act is to control activities that are environmentally detrimental to fish (i e water quality impairment, habitat destruction, etc ) The Ministry of the Environment, through the Environmental Assessment Act, the Environmental Protection Act and the Ontario Water Resources Act, also has the legislative mandate to control any type of pollution which may impair the quality of the natural environment and to require environmental assessments for various types of projects In addition to these legislative powers, the Province is continuing to develop policies for the management of natural resources An example, which is 0 f interest to the ESA study, is the Province's Discussion Paper "Towards a Wetland Policy for Ontario" In this report the Province identifies the rationale for a strategy to retain wetlands The MTRCA supports this aim as parallel with its own program objectives The protection of ESAs is also possible through the new Planning Act This proposed Act gives the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing (jointly with any other Minister, if a mutual interest exists) the power to issue statements of policy on matters relating to municipal planning, that in the opinion of the Minister are of Provincial interest Once issued, municipalities, boards, ministries, commissions and agencies of the government must have regard to provincial policy statements in planning matters Also, under Section 2 of the proposed Act, matters of provincial interest include - the protection of the natural environment, and the management of natural resources: - the protection of features of significant natural, architectural, historical or archaeological interest B-388 - 9 - Public Irivolvement Special interest groups will also be encouraged to support the MTRCA and local municipalities in their endeavours to update ESA data bases and to assist in management programs, where appropriate Private landowners of ESAs will be encouraged to retain the natural integrity of these lands. When land use changes are proposed, landowners will be encouraged to limit uses to those compatible with the biological and physical functions of the area To assist landowners, private lands assistance programs are available through the MTRCA's Conservation Land Management Program. Management Practices The management of an ESA will be dependent upon the type of management desired (protection versus preservation), individual site conditions, and to varying degrees on the ownership of the ESA itself The MTRCA is of the opinion that management plans should ultimately be prepared for all ESAs Such plans need not be independent, but rather could form a component of an operations or maintenance plan, an overall resource management plan for a larger area of a component or a master planning or similar planning exercise Although the MTRCA is prepared to cooperate with other agencies and groups in the preparation of management plans, their preparation is not envisioned as being a major undertaking The overall thrust in preparing a management plan is to recognize that the ESA exists and that the significant features of the ESA be considered in the maintenance or use of the area. A number of management techniques readily exist to assist the various agencies and individuals responsible for the management of lands that contain ESAs. Protection techniques can be arranged into two types - vegetation and access management Vegetation techniques would include. buffer plantings, woodlot management, tree and shrub plantings, and controlled grass cuttings For ESAs suffering from disturbance, access restrictions and/or controls can be employed Fence construction, signage and posting. trail development and patrolling are all means whereby this can be accomplished Management techniques for the preservation of ESAs include. woodlot management, tree and shrub plantings, selective cuttings and pruning, and controlled burns In addition, techniques such as nest box and island construction, brush pile creation and planting of food plots involve wildlife management so that habitats can be maintained at specific points B-389 - 10 - For ESAs currently managed for some purpose, the managers would be in the best position to prepare management plans or incorporate ESA management techniques in existing operations or maintenance plans. They are the individuals who have first hand knowledge of the areas on a day by day basis, including any problems that may exist To help establish a coordinated approach to the preparation of management plans, the MTRCA will prepare an overall priority rating. Priorization will be based on the need for management due to existing and/or potential impacts. As well, the MTRCA is prepared to offer assistance to other agencies through technical advice It is, therefore, the proposal of the MTRCA that the MTRCA prepare management plans, on a priority basis, for ESAs on MTRCA lands managed by its own forces For ESAs on MTRCA lands managed, through agreement, with other public agencies or other publicly owned lands, the preparation of management plans would be the responsibility of the managing agencies For ESAs on private lands, the MTRCA will explain to the owners the details of the ESAs and will discuss any existing and potential impacts. The MTRCA will encourage landowners to manage the lands in a fashion suitable to the ESAs and will inform them of the MTRCA's resource assistance programs These programs include technical advice through the preparation of conservation plans and technical assistance through reforestation, tree and shrub plantings and stream improvements To assist in the preparation of management plans, the following process is suggested Step 1 The review of the ESA criteria is essential in formulating any management plan Site visits must be conducted by qualified resource person(s) who would be able to interpret the criteria and information accurately Step 2 The review of the present impacts is accomplished at the same site visit in Step 1 An impact would be considered as any activities, operations or developments that are occurring, and are or will disturb, destroy or impede the natural functions or processes that initially qualified the area as an ESA Step 3 The review of future, potential impacts is just as important as Step 2 The intent here would be to prevent or minimize the effects of future activities or development that could impact the ESA - 11 - B-390 Step 4 Before a management plan is formulated the degree of management and site protection or preservation must be determined Consideration of educational or scientific uses of the ESA will assist in this determination. Step 5 The final stage in the management plan is to document the procedures to be employed to ensure that the plan is initiated and monitored The following is a sample ESA site report and a sample management Plan / B-39l - 12 - Sample Management Plan The following is presented as an example management plan This particular area is owned and managed by the MTRCA Impacts currently exist and techniques are proposed to minimize them. A portion of the area is proposed for preservation due to its educational potential. General Description The Pine Valley Forest is located on the east side of the Humber River, south of Rutherford Road on both sides of Pine Valley Drive in the Town of Vaughan (Figure 3) The total area (38 hectares) incorporates a number of mature and mature-mixed forests on the steep west-facing valley walls and on the wide flood plain. Dominant overstorey species are Eastern Hemlock, Sugar Maple, and American Beech A swamp cornrnuni~y is interspersed along the wide flood plain in open areas within the mature-mixed forest The majority of the Pine Valley Forest is located within the Boyd Conservation Area or other MTRCA lands with approximately 5 1/2 hectares on private lands ESA Criteria Fulfilled ~ The Pine Valley Forest satisfies Criterion 3 of the Environmentally Significant Areas Study The area is considered high quality for the following reasons: a significant number of seedlings and saplings of Eastern Hemlock are present in the understorey and ground cover of the forests: extensive forests of regenerating Eastern Hemlock are unusual in the MTRCA region: Sugar Maple and American Beech exhibit good regeneration: superior specimens of both Eastern Hemlock and Black Cherry occur throughout the area: and the forests are extensive and relatively undisturbed Current Impacts The majority of the Pine Valley Forest located in the Boyd Conservation Area is experiencing some disturbance due to visitors of the area These visitors can be categorized in the following manner daily visitors of Boyd Conservation Area: summer day camp visitors: group camp visitors: nature trail visitors PINE VALLEY FOREST NO. 21 B-392 ~a ~ l )iJ L~ THE NATIONAL GOLF CLUB N f BOYD CONSERVATION ESA NO. 21 IZ2d AREA ----- FIGURE 3 NOT TO SCALE B-393 - 13 - These impacts can be summarized as overuse of the present system of trails ( formal and informal) that are located within the forest plus indiscriminate use of the forest as a "play area" in sections that are sensitive, such as wet areas and slopes This problem is not overly critical but does require management so as to alleviate the more serious impacts and ensure the problem does not expand Within the Pine Valley Forest are three residential dwellings Trees felled for firewood is the major impact from this source, but there was also evidence of dumping of refuse that deteriorated the visual amenities of the forest Potential Impacts Currently, the Boyd Conservation Area and adjoining lands are undergoing a master plan review by the MTRCA All ESAs that could possibly be affected by this development have been identified and are being taken into consideration throughout the planning process Management Approach The Pine Valley Forest will be managed so as to: preserve the area dominated by Eastern Hemlock by encouraging this species to regenerate and maintaining suitable conditions for regeneration: protect the remaining areas of this forest stand The ESA report for the Pine Valley Forest identified significant regeneration of Eastern Hemlock However, where this is occurring, the density of over storey species and the maturity of dominant species effectively competes against and reduces the regenerating component of the woodlot To rectify this problem, a woodlot management program is required with the following objectives to promote the regeneration of Eastern Hemlock, through a program of selective cuttings of over-mature, dead, dying and diseased species This would effectively open up the dense canopy and reduce the competition for living space and available nutrients Such a forest management program will be cognizant of the role of the forest for habitat and will be reflected in the selective cuttings by leaving suitable numbers of den and food trees for the area: to improve the entire stand's vigour and health through a program of selective cuttings: to eliminate any safety hazard from dead or dying trees that infringe upon visitor use of the trail system: , B-394 - 14 - to promote the habitat for wildlife by creating brush piles from the slash obtained through the forest management program. As identified through field investigation and discussions with area staff, there occurs an overuse problem with respect to visitors To overcome this problem a number of management steps will be taken: . the existing trail system will be upgraded and better defined so as to encourage visitors to remain on the trails. The use of signs, self-guided viewing stations and brochures will help to alleviate the problem: the extension of the total trail system north to the Kortright Centre for Conservation is a good possibility that will encourage visitors to properly utilize the trails: discussions will occur between MTRCA staff and the summer day camp administrator and group leaders for the group camp area to inform and educate them concerning the ESA Sensitive areas within the forest will be marked and identified to these individuals so that further use of the forest will not affect these areas To discourage unauthorized activities (Le. firewood cutting) from occurring, the north and west boundaries will be fenced with a 9-strand farm fence and signs will be erected identifying the area as an ESA The Trespass to Property Act wil be utilized with permitted uses signs posted Approximately 600m of fence will be required. Discussion will occur between the MTRCA and the local residents (3) to inform and educate them concerning the ESA These individuals will also be informed of the permitted activities that may occur in the area If necessary, the rental agreements that the MTRCA has with these individuals could be modified to reflect the concerns Plan Implementation The Pine Valley Forest management plan has been prepared in conjunction with the Boyd Conservation Area staff The Area Superintendent is fully appraised of the plan and is cognizant of his responsibility in its implementation It is understood that any selective cutting will only be carried out under the direction and supervision of the Conservation Services Section of the MTRCA Any modifications to the trail system in the area will be examined as part of the current Boyd Conservation Area master plan update study, including examination of impacts ~ B-395 , the metropolitan toronto and region conservation authority minutes REPORT #18/83 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 2-NOVEMBER-1983 #18/83 The Executive Committee met at the Authority Office, 5 Shore ham Drive, Downsview, on Wednesday, 2 November, 1983, commencing at 1 00 P m PRESENT Chairman Mr s.

K. Cooper, Administrator, Historical Sites Division Re Progress Report - July 1 to September 30, 1983 HISTORICAL SITES PROJECTS (Development) In late September Mitchell Construction began the excavation work for the Black Creek Visitors Centre. M.T R.C.A. staff removed all fenCing and trees in the construction area. A basement has been completed for the Tinsmith/Hardware Store and a framework for the building has been erected. The concrete lower floor of the Sawmill has been poured. HISTORICAL SITES PROJECTS (Operations & Maintenance) (a) Registration and Artifacts During the third quarter of 1983 Black Creek received forty-one items from nineteen donors. A notable donation was an early wooden pump and pipe manufactured in Claremont, Ontario. The Registrar's Department received instruction from the Conser- vation Co-ordinator of the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture on the treat- ment of iron artifacts The C.O E D worker assisting the Registrar has successfully treated a number of iron agricultural implements as a result of this training The stonepuller was repaired and painted. The forges in the Carriage Works were repaired and made operational The Registrar continues to have the capable assistance of a volunteer one dcty a week (b) Publicity and Promotion A Promotions Officer for the Village, Neil Beaudry, started working in the Historical Sites Division on July 4, under the direction of the Curator Already considerable attention has been given towards developing lists of target audiences, to whom appropriate information about Village special events can be directed. The identification of prospective clients for Black Creek is one of the most important marketing tasks at hand. This effort will continue over the next few months as we strive to discover groups of people with similar needs that we can satisfy To promote the special event "Family Fun" held on weekends during August, an ad was placed on the CITY KIDS poster which was widely displayed throughout subway stops, libraries and community centres Village staff participated in the first annual "Flax Festival", August 11 - 14, which was sponsored by the Red Cross and held at York University A demonstration of flax spinning was carried out and half-price admission coupons to the Village were distributed to visitors. On August 24 and 25 the Toronto-based theatre group "Meanfeat" performed in the Village. Their production of "The Good Woman of Setzuan" was enjoyed by visitors, confirming the need for more live theatrical and musical performances at the Village to increase visitation by families and senior citizens Historical Sites staff attended a meeting of Toronto museums at the office of the Metro Toronto Convention and Visitors Association, to explore the possibility of participating in a co-operative ad in MTCVA's consumer guide gook "Happening" (circulation 800,000) As a result, Black Creek will be featured in a full-colour, high-impact ad promoting several Metro museums This ad will be issued four times during 1984. ~ B-413 - 2 - Neil Beaudry visited the MTCVA offices again in early September to spend an afternoon with travel/trade planners, discussing the many opportunities available for Black Creek to attract additional visitation from motorcoach tour operators in 1984. Black Creek entered into agreements with Holiday Inn, Tourism Canada, Great Lakes Hostelling Association, Toronto Life Magazine, and the Continental Bank, to participate in high-calibre programs offering reduced admission to the Village The overall effect of this kind of marketing program will be assessed at year end Neil Beaudry visited the offices of the Community Information Centre of Metropolitan Toronto to discuss opportunities for Black Creek to promote special events to their clients This resulted in extensive mailing lists of various community groups, service clubs, seniors clubs, youth and children's organizations being made available. Another meeting with the City of North York's Director of Public Information provided other valuable distribution lists, to facilitate efforts in targeting information on specific Village programs to special interest groups. Moreover, this contact will prove to be very important in terms of planning special events at Black Creek for local residents. Regular communications with this office will be maintained. Lor~aine O'Byrne and several Village interpreters were interviewed on-site by CBC's Metro Morning personalities, as part of a feature segment highlighting this year's "Pioneer Festival" A feature article on the Village was written for the City of North York Development Office as part of a special eight page insert to the Financial Post, promoting North York It is due for release sometime in November. Black Creek staff promoted Village special events at the Ontario Travel Information Kiosk, Toronto Eaton Centre and Sherway Gardens Shopping centre. During the third quarter of 1983 the Village was the location for a number of commercial photography productions Segments of a movie telling the story of Tom Longboat and scenes for a new Imax feature to be shown at the Ontario Place Cinesphere were filmed in the Village: CFTO-TV recorded an episode of the children's program "Welcome To My World": the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources' photographed a portion of a forestry documentary, and Sears used Black Creek as an outdoor location for a fashion layout The Village received newspaper coverage during June, July and August from the three Toronto dailies, as well as from many of the area weeklies. Russ Cooper attended the Heritage Canada Conference in September and also gave a talk to the east York Historical Society. Similarily, Jeanne Hughes spoke to a group of teachers at York University and later gave them a conducted tour of the Village Mrs. Hughes also gave lectures to regional museum committees in Thunder Bay and Renfrew, Ontario, re "Preparing For The Bicentennial" (c) Special Events To ensure our visitors are getting the most from their visit to Black Creek, as an added bonus to their regular admission, a large number of special events were held during July, August and September (i) The annual Muster Day was held on July 1st Black Creek's Honorary Reeve, The Honourable Pauline McGibbon, officiated at this popular event. (ill The Victorian Family Picnic was the theme for July weekends with a variety of participation activities, such as races, stilts, and hoops, which were offered for the visitors. (iii) During August weekends the emphasis in "Family Fun" was also on participation with a variety of 19th century games, such as croquet, quoits, and battledore and shuttlecock available for visitor involvement. (iv) The "Corn Fest" was offered to visitors on most weekends in September, and featured corn-on-the-cob for sale, and demonstrations of cooking with corn, corn cob animal-making, and corn husk doll-making (v) The 5th annual "Outdoor Hymn Sing" attracted its usual strong participation from seniors and religious groups in the Metro region. B-414 - 3 - (vi) Over 4,500 people attended the 27th annual "Pioneer Festival" on September 17th. Inclement weather on ~he morning of the event may have contributed to the decline in attendance this year (vii) Black Creek's 2nd annual "Honey Fair" although dampened by rain, pro- vided visitors with many fascinating demonstrations of bee-keeping techniques A very successful addition to this year's program was the refreshment tent operated by staff, and providing visitors with an opportunity to relax and enjoy a cup of hot tea along with biscuits and honey This was a good example of the kind of added service to visitors which can also provide increased revenues to the Village. During the third quarter of 1983, 22 weddings, 18 wedding receptions, and 1 banquet were held. (d) Building and Grounds Maintenance Through the summer, regular maintenance has been carried out with the assistance of the C O.E D. staff Burwick House and Flynn House have been repainted The porch at Laskay Emporium has been repaired and painted The smoke House roof was reshingled Several of the gates to Village homes have been weighted to close automatically The busy schedule of special events has meant a correspondingly busy schedule of grounds maintenance. Extra preparations and clean-up were carried out for Festival, the Honey Fair and the Hymn Sing. Construction work at the Tinamith/Hardware and the Visitors Centre has necessitated the installation of temporary hydro lines at the Village entrance. The portable has been cleared out for use by the construction company An exhaust fan has been installed at the Snack Bar Several furnaces were cleaned, shelves were installed in the Print Shop basement, a new floor was built for the stake truck box, and the rear brakes were replaced on the wagon. A backhouse was moved in from Whitchurch Township for use at the Doctor's House The Peel Regional Police Association donated a shed to Black Creek. The shed from near Norval was dismantled and brought in for re-erection at the Sawmill. eel Livestock During the summer a cow was purchased, a calf was born and a pure- bred Clydesdale colt was born Two ewes and seven lambs were sold.

FINANCIAL COMMENTS All programs are forecasted to be on target at the present time, with the exception of Operations and Maintenance at the Kortright Centre for Conservation. Attendance at Kqrtright is forecasted to be down by approximately 3,000 visitors from the 1982 figures.

IV AGREEMENTS -3- B-486 PURPOSE - The purpose of this project is to permit the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to exercise the powers afforded by the Conservation Authorities Act R S 0 1970, Chap 78 as amended to establish and unqertake in the area over which it has jurisdiction, a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources in accordance with the Flood Control Program of the Watershed Plan The purpose, of this project is to meet one of the defined objectives of the Flood Control Program which is to provide in defined flood damage centres, on a priority basis, protection that will reduce the risk of flooding to less than 50% over the life (100 years) of the affected structure(s) Protection to a higher level will be provided if economically and/or socially justified Through this project, the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will provide part of the funding for the first two years of a six year project required to dredge the Keating Channel at the mouth of the Don River The dredg ing is required to mil'limize the potential flood hazard, reduce pollution of the Inner Harbour; and ~ai~tain the northeast corner of the harbour for shipping This project will be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the Snvironrnental assessment Act - B-487 -4- LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The Keating Channel Environmental Assessment provides a complete description of the work proposed in this project The following is a brief description of the principle components of the problem and the proposed solution The Keating Channel is the man made mouth of the Don River where it empties into the northeast corner of Toronto's Inner Harbour Each year about 50,000 cubic meters (m ) of sediment are deposited by the Don River into the Keating Channel .Hong wi th the sediment comes pollutants, which are derived throughout the watershed and adhere to the fine grained sediment which is deposited in the Channel or carried out into the Harbour The deposition of this material within the Keating Channel and the northeast corner of the Inner Harbour makes these areas virtually unusable for shipping unless regular maintenance dredging is per formed This same siltation restricts the flow of flood waters and thus greatly increases the potential for flood ins particularly as a result of ice jams When dredged, the Keating Channel acted as an effective sedimentation trap but now sediments flow into the Harbour and must be removed annually to preserve boat access to commercial docks In 1972, Canada and the United States signed a joint agreement to improve water quality in the Great La ke s system One important result was a complete ban on the open water dIsposal of polluted dredgeate Un t il 1974 the Toronto Harbour Commissioners were able to dispose of the polluted dredgeate in a reasonably economic fashion, the method used at the time was to bury the material under the advancing fill at the Outer Harbour Headland However, as a result of the ban on open water dumping, the dredging was discontinued principally because of the high cost of any acceptable alternatives for disposal In 197Q, plans for a confined disposal area at the Outer Harbour Headland '....ere implemented This facility has been used to a limited extent for the disposal of material dredged for navigation purposes since 1981 -5- B-488 Since halting the dredging operations, approximately 400,000 cubic meters of sediment have collected within the ~eating Channel Area This - Authority through "The Interim Water and Related Land Management Project 1979 - 1981 for the Dredging of the Keating Channel, Don River" supported works undertaken by the Toronto Harbour Commissioners in an initial dredging project While some dredging was undertaken through this project, a significant quantity of sediment remains within the Keating Channel pending the results of the Environmental Assessment A revised dredging program has been established proposing a six year effort to complete th~ necessary dredging works This Project outlines the involvement of the Authority over the fir st two years of the six year project A subsequent project will be developed to complete the work following receipt of the final decision on the Environmental Assessment The dredging being proposed will be undertaken by crews and equipment of the Toronto Harbour Commissioners The sediment removed from the Keating Channel will be placed into botto~ dumping scows and towed to the disposal facility at the Outer Harbour Headland It should be noted that following the six year project required to fully dredge the Keating Channel area, maintena~ce dredging will still remain a requirement to ensure the fulfillment of the objectives met through the dredging project - B-489 -6- COST AND FINANCING The costs associated with this two year project include Legal and survey fees, land acquisition, engineering and environmental studies, labour, equipment and material costs associated with the dredging and material disposal, all costs incurred in relation to the Environmental Assessment Act approval requirements COSTS The cost for the dredging project will be apportioned between, the Toronto Harbour Commissioners, The Government of Canada and The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, with each agency responsible for one third of the project costs The cost apportionment allocated to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority for its two year project is $350,000 per annum or a to tal cost of $700,000 FINANCING It is proposed that the fund s required for this project be raised or. the basis of a 55~ grant from the Province of Ontario and 45% from the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto as benefitting municipality 1984 1985 Province of Ontario $192,500 $192,500 Municipality of Metropolitan $15",500 $157,500 Toronto TOTAL $350,000 $350,000 -7- 8-490 AGREEMENTS In undertaking this Project, the Authority will be entering into a three party agreement where the costs shall be apportioned on an equal basis The other parties involved being the Toronto Commissioners and the Federal Government through Transport Canada .

(iii) the erosion susceptible soils which make up the channel and valley walls, (iv) the highly urbanized character of most of the watershed which leads to increases in peak flows, velocities and frequency of flooding The erosion of the stream bank and, in some instances, the valley wall is having an impact on the terrestrial communities and has resulted in the loss of large wooded areas The potential also exists for the activity to eventually subject a significant number of residences to a potential hazard The existing erosion is affecting municipal services and existing hydraulic structures located in the floodpl<?in, and restricts the use of valley land for park purposes as seen in the attached photographs In response to concerns expressed by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the Borough of Scarborough, the l~e t ro po li tan Toronto Parks and Property Department and Metropolitan Toronto Works Department, the firm of Cumming-Cockburn and Associates Limited was authorized by the Conservation Authority to undertake a study to identify the most serious erosion areas and to develop a long-term program for mitigating problems associated with erosion along the study area The reach of Highland Creek to be analyzed for erosion problems included West Branch - From Lawrence Avenue upstream 1 km East Branch - From confluence with West Branch to the confluence with the Malvern Branch Malvern Branch - From its confluence with the East Branch to Highway 401 11a r kh am Branch - From its confluence with the Malvern Branch to the Scarborough Channel The consultants have recommended that the most feasible course of action to solve the erosion problem within the study area would be to carry out remedial works on a high hazard site specific basis The advantages for carrying out works in this manner include, maximum benefit for capital expenditure , expediency in resolving erosion problems and the capability of focussing the construction activity in the areas of highest priority first In order to determine the order of priority for future works, an inventory of erosion sites was carried out and a weighting system was developed to rank the sites The weighting system developed, assessed such parameters as ( i) existing and future potential for lateral movement of the stream bank, (ii) proximity of structures to the erosion problem, (i i i) environmental significance of the area, (iv) rate of erosion, (v) soil characteristics of the effected bank, B-498 PROJECT FOR CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS ON THE EAST 8 WEST BRANCHES OF HIGHLAND CREEK I '" HWY. 401 i 3: ~ (l'i ~ ~ C,N.R, / ~~f ~ '""'-.:.../ ~ ~~ ~/ ONfARIO ~r t.AKE ~~ ~ /7 111111111111 AREAS OF S1GNIFICA~T EROSION FIG.

B-5C3 - 8 - Figure 2 indicates the location of the sites inventoried and identified in the report Table I lists in order the top ten sites determined to be the most serious o~ hazardous of the sites inventoried As a result of the number of sites inventoried, the Authority is proposing to apportion the remedial works required over a three (3) year period The proposed remedial works for the most part will be carried out on a priority basis established by the consultants However in order to minimize the disturbance and the environmental effects of the construction to the areas and further to maximize the use of our access roads and work yards, some of the lesser ranking sites will be worked on during the same time as the high priority sites if they are in the same area Erosion protection remedial works for the priority sites where structures are affected must be tailored to suit the particular conditions at each location To stabilize these areas, alternative forms of protection and materials were evaluated in order to select the most appropriate and economically viable solution The preliminary designs developed by the consultants will be fine tuned by Authority staff for implementation in the field A standard design approach has been developed where previous development or structures are not as yet affected but where significant amount of erosion is still occurring An example of a typical design solution for this type of problem is shown in Figure 3, while following is a description of this -solution (i) Regrading of affected bank to a minimum 2 1 slope, (ii) Placement of a 400 mm thick well graded granular base (or and equivalent filter cloth), (iii) Placement of an average 450-550 mm layer of rip rap protection, (iv) Placement of rip rap protection to a minimum height of two metres above the existing invert This would provide complete toe protection for the annual runoff event (v) Extend rip rap protection upstream to where the existing channel is stable If the rip rap cannot be tied into a stable section, a rock cut-off wall should be constructed Attached in the appendices are location plans, technical data sheets and cost/benefit analysis sheets for all of the sites being considered for remedial works under this project Following is the proposed work program for the 3 year project, which lists the site and the projected work year TYPICAL CHANNEL SECTION 3 /REVEGr:TATE WITH SHRUBS e.
