The Authority has identified the region's river valleys, the Lake Ontario shoreline and the headwater areas of the Oak Ridges interlobate moraine, and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to which its programs are applied. Each Conservation Authority in Ontario has been directed by 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." See report of the Working Group on the Mandate and Role of the Conservation Authorities of Ontario (1979) . The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority adopted a Watershed Plan on December 5, 1980. The Plan will be filed with its member municipalities and the Minister of Natural Resources. The Watershed Plan is comprised of ten (10) interrelated programs:- Flood Control Program Provision for protection of human life and property from the hazards of flooding and erosion is a basic requirement and the core of the Watershed Plan and the Flood Control Program. This program provides for remedial measures, land acquisition and application of regulatory measures to leave flood plains unobstructed to pass flood flows. Three programs complementary to the Flood Control Program recognize the relationships between urban drainage, erosion and sedimentation, and flooding. and Sediment Control Pro ram: The Erosion and Sediment Control Program is aimed at protecting life and property correct~ve works as well as preventing future hazards through development control Storm Water Mana~ement Program: The Storm Water Management Program details cooperative action between the Authority and its member munic~palities on water management problems and preparation of master drainage plans. Land Management Program promotes conservation on private and improvements, stream improvements and a conservation land planning The Shoreline Management Program aims at reducing erosion and flooding hazards along the application of protective works, acquisition and planning and regulatory controls. Page 1-2 Land Acquisition Program To ensure proper conservation land management, the Land Acquisition Program provides for acquisition of flood plan and valley lands, waterfront lands and environmentally signifcant lands The Authority has acquired 26,600 acres of land that are being managed to achieve the objectives set forth in the Watershed Plan. Watershed Recreation Program AND Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program: A valuable ancillary use of conservation lands is the development of recreation areas for public use and enjoyment. The Watershed Recreation Program and the Lake Ontario Waterfront Program are designed to meet this need. Heritage Conservation Program: The Heritage Conservation Program recognizes the special contribution that a historical perspective gives to the understanding of resource management. Community Relations Program: All of the efforts of the Authority in its conservation programs are dependent upon community understanding and acceptance. The Community Relations Program establishes the means by which the Authority can communicate with the community The 1981 Budget Estimates have been prepared on the basis of programs included in the Watershed Plan, and comparison with previous activities is difficult. Based on previous budget systems since 1957, 62.5% of the Authority's capital and development budget has been devoted to Water and Related Land Management, 24.5% has been devoted to the Lake Ontario Waterfront, 10 8% to Conservation and Recreation Land Management, and 2.2% to Outdoor and Conservation Education. The 1981 Budget Estimates provide for the completion of the Interim Water and Related Land Management Project 1979 to 1981, the Waterfront Project 1977 to 1981, and the Supplementary Waterfront Project 1980/81. FORMAT OF PRESENTATION The 1981 Budget Estimates are based on a new format. The format is designed to more clearly identify the ten 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 1981 Budget Estimates. There are five major types of provincial grants available through the Ministry of Natural Resouces to Conservation Authorities:- 1) Administration 4) Special Projects and Programs 2) Water & Related Land Management 5) Supplementary Grants (not applicable to M.T.R.C.A.) 3) Conservation & Recreation Land Management .

The funding for these projects will commence in 1982. -, \ PAGE 1-5 THE 1981 LEVY The apportionment of the 1981 municipal levies is based on the 1979 equalized assessment figures for 1980 taxation purposes as supplied by the Province of Ontario. - In accordance with the policy adopted by the Authority, the Regional Municipalities of Durham, Peel and York will be levied an amount equal to 100% of the 1980 taxes paid by the Authority for revenue producing conservation areas within those munici- palities. Within Metropolitan Toronto, Authority lands are not subject to taxation PROVINCIAL FUNDING The Provincial grant structure used in these estimates is based on the following approved percentages:- Administration 50% Water and Related Land Management 55% Conservation and Recreation Land Management 50% Waterfront Plan 50% The Authority has received approval for the following level of funding from the Province of Ontario to finance the programs set forth in the 1981 Budget Estimates.

B-36 TO: The Chairman and Members of the Executive Committee - Meeting iIl/81 FROM: P B Flood, Adminis trator Conservation Land Management Division RE: Progress Reports - January 1 to December 31, 1980 CONSERVATION SERVICES Authority Land Management Programs The increased emphasis on resource management programs for Authority and privately owned lands has resulted in expanded projects carried out in 1980 Woodlot management programs carried out on Authority lands have enabled the Authority to respond to the increasing demand for firewood while maintaining our ob- jecti ves for water conservation through sound woodlot and plantation management projects A total of 315 cubic meters of fuelwood and 100 cubic meters of pulpwood were produced at Boyd, Bruce's Mill, Claireville, Glen Haffy, Heart Lake Conservation Areas, and the East Palgrave Forest and Wildlife Area Saw- logs (1,281 bd. ft ) produced from management programs were supplied to the Kortright Centre for Conservation sawmill In Glen Major, 74 acres of plantation was sprayed to control larch sawfly. Reforestation trees were planted at Boyd (9,500) , Claireville (20,000), Cold Creek (7,000) Conservation Areas, East Palgrave (15,000), Glen Haffy (28,000) and Humber Trails (5,000) Forest and Wildlife Areas Two thousand trees were planted by the residents of the Town of Ajax at the Greenwood area for a total of 85,500 trees Scout groups from Humber-Seneca, York Summit, Mississauga and Ajax planted 40,000 reforestation seedlings at Boyd Conservation Area and Glen Major. Wildlife shrub p1antings were carried out at Glen Haffy ( 700) , East Palgrave (3,200) Forest and Wildlife Areas and Claireville (1,000) Conservation Area to improve wildlife habitat Stream improvement projects for sediment control and fish habitat improvement have been carried out on approximately 900 meters of streams in the headwaters of the Hu~ber River and Duffin Creek Projects included fencing, tree and shrub plantings and bank stabilization Services staff reviewed and made recommendations on 22 Authority properties for agricultural lease ensuring proper management techniques are carried out Planting programs were carried out at South Thackeray Sanitary Landfill Site One thousand and five hundred reforestation trees, 296 calibre trees, 250 bare root trees and 1,650 wildlife shrubs were installed as part of the vegetation program for wildlife habitat A monitoring report was prepared following studies carried out during the summer months. A tree maintenance program was also carried out to ensure the success of the plantings Landscape projects to enhance Authority lands were also carried out at the Kortright Centre for Conservation (11 calibre trees): Bluffer's Park Waterfront Project (68 calibre trees and 360 shrubs): Stouffville Channel (20 calibre trees and 705 shrubs): Cold Creek Trap Range Building (22 calibre trees and 165 shrubs): and the Claireville Beach Centre (15 calibre trees, 69 bare root trees and 1,200 shrubs) A tree maintenance project was carried out on the plantings established at the Claireville Conservation Area Services staff also installed the plant material for the Authority's Annual Award planting The major landscape project was carried out at the Humber Bay East Waterfront Project Three hundred and ninety-five calibre trees and 1,520 shrubs were planted and as well, an extensive tree maintenance program was carried out. Services staff also presented a one day seminar on tree maintenance for Authority staff. To meet objectives outlined in the Conservation Land Management Program of the Watershed Plan for increased resource management activities on Authority lands, biophysical inventories were taken and management plans prepared for Claireville, Cold Creek, Greenwood, Boyd, Bruce's Mill and Albion Hills Conservation Areas, as well as Lake St. George, and Palgrave Forest and Wildlife Areas. .. ./cont 'd B-3? CLMD PROGRESS REPORTS PAGE -2 Private Landowner Assistance Programs In 1980, construction began on the new Conservation Services Workshop This new facility will assist the nursery operation in meeting increased production requirements for management programs Re-location of the Authority nursery continued this year to the former Barker property in the Boyd Conservation Area. In 19 80 , the nursery propagated 76,500 shrubs and 22,000 bare root trees. Seven hundred and twenty five trees and 6,150 shrubs were supplied to the Flood Control Section, 100 trees were donated to the Township of Norwich for replacing trees lost in the August 9, 1979 tornado, 1,130 bare root trees and 1,125 wild- life shrubs were supplied to the South Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority and 150 bare root trees to the Halton Region Conservation Authority In addition, 494 bare root trees and 1,697 trees were supplied to other government agencies Deciduous trees (5,859) and wildlife shrubs (7,470) were planted for 84 private landowners within the watershed under the Farm Tree and Shrub Program for wildlife habitat and sediment control Under the Reforestation Assistance Program, 117,050 seedling trees were planted for 28 private landowners. Involvement in reforestation programs continues to increase with the majority of plantings in the Regions of Peel and York. Stream Improvement projects to improve cold water fisheries on the Duffin Creek and Humber River were carried out under the Authority Stream Improvement Program One hundred and ninety five meters of stream were stabilized to reduce sediment entering the streams, 765 meters of fencing to control cattle access was in- stalled and 227 meters of buffer plantings for shade and sediment control was carried out Six projects were carried out for private landowners In 1980, the Authority continued the co-operative project (S P 0 F ), Strategic Planning for Ontario Fisheries with the Ministry of Natural Resources The Authority carried out bank stabilization (183m) , fencing ( 349m) and buffer plantings (650m) on cold water streams The final report on the 1979-80 S P O. F. project was completed The Authority tree spade was rented to 20 landowners and transplanted 673 trees that would have been lost to thinning and construction activities The tree spade also prepared 847 calibre trees for Authority landscape projects To promote Authority objectives and encourage wise management activities on private and public lands, Services staff carried out 125 site visits giving advice on wildlife management, woodlot management, stream improvement, pond construction and weed control The Land Use Planning program prepared 4 Conservation Plans (116 hectares) to enable private landowners to co-ordinate the assistance programs offered by the Authority and maximize the resource potential of the their properties Urban Management Programs identified in the Conservation Land Management Program represent a new direction for the Authority in addressing concerns of sediment control, wildlife habitat improvement and aesthetics in urban areas Demand for planting assistance continued to increase in 1980 One hundred and nine calibre trees, 2,094 bare root trees and 10,856 shrubs were planted for the City of Brampton A stream improvement display and private landowners assistance program display were developed to promote the Authority's technical assistance program A pond assistance fact sheet was also developed CONSERVATION AREA DEVELOPMENT The major development of 1980 was the provision of water and electrical servicing to the Indian Line Campground extension. Water will be available at the 54 campsites with electricity available at 28 sites Additional water servicing was also installed in the existing campground Following restoration and partial landscaping, these sites will be in operation in 1981. Five landscape beds were planted near the beach in the C1aireville Conservation Area These beds were planted with 2,000 shrubs and 65 calibre trees from the Authority nursery In future years, they will greatly enhance the area, pro- viding shade and shelter from the wind. Also at the beach area, a major gulley erosion problem was corrected using 5 drop structures . . . / con t I d B-38 CLMD PROGRESS REPORTS PAGE -3 An extension was added to the Claireville Boat Compound to enable the safe storage of row boats as well as canoes for the rental program The compound also encloses the portable building which houses program equipment protecting it from vandalism Adult bass were stocked in the Claireville Reservoir prior to spring spawning. This is the first of a three year program designed to establish a high quality bass fishery The exterior construction of the Bruce's Mill Pancake pavilion/Washroom was completed as well as initial improvements to the food concession These facili- ties will be completed in 1981 and in operation for the Maple Syrup Program Also at Bruce's Mill, with the assistance of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation, staff have replaced the weigh scale shelter on the Grist Mill The roofs have been replaced on the two additions to the Mill Funds are available to continue restoration work in 1981 Landscaping around the parking lot and the Trap Range Control Building at the Cold Creek Conservation Area was carried out This included the installation of an interlock stone access and the planting of calibre, deciduous and coniferous trees Forty-five thousand rainbow trout fry were acquired for the rearing program at Glen Haffy Trout were stocked at the Heart Lake Conservation Area and in the Duffin Creek for Ajax Day held at the Greenwood Conservation Area Staff of the Division were involved in the development and production of the Watershed Recreation and Conservation Land Management Components of the Watershed Plan as well as additional graphics for the plan and other programs with the assistance of Ontario Career Action Program (0 CAP ) trainees, a summary of the 1979 Survey of Visitors to Conservation Areas and a preliminary assess- ment 0 f the accessibility of the Authority's Conservation Areas for disabled pe rsons we re carried out CONSERVATION AREA OPERATIONS During the winter, 9 Conservation Areas were open for recreation activities but due to lack of snow, little activity took place until mid-February The Albion Hills and Bruce's Mill ski programs operated on only four weekends and the school instructional programs operated at capacity during the first two weeks of March Winter use at Heart Lake and Cold Creek Areas was close to the previous years Ice conditions at Heart Lake were the best in many years and this attracted considerable use The lack of snow resulted in above average use of the Cold Creek range facilities. The low winter USt did permit staff to complete more than the usual amount of general maintenance to picnic tables, outhouses, buildings and other equipment All 13 Conservation Areas and Forest and Wildlife Areas were open for summer recreation activities by Victoria Day weekend Albion Hills, Bruce's Mill, Claremont, Glen Haffy, Greenwood and Heart Lake Areas opened with the trout season, April 26th All swimming areas opened May 31, except Petticoat Creek and Greenwood Petticoat Creek was delayed one week to complete repairs and painting, while Greenwood was not opened until late June due to lack of qualified lifeguard staff. A weekday parking fee reduction was introduced at Boyd, Bruce's Mill, Claireville, Heart Lake and Petticoat Creek Conservation Areas during the period June 2 to August 29 The fee was reduced from $2 50 to $1 50 per car between 4 00 p m and 8 00 p m Reduced rate ticket sales totalled 3,437 with area totals as follows - Heart Lake -968; Boyd - 880: Claireville - 634: Bruce's Mill - 499: and Petticoat Creek - 456 Comparison of attendance with other years is difficult as figures are maintained on a daily basis not on a time period basis Superintendents of the Areas concerned were of the opinion that the reduced rate had no significant effect on weekday evening attendance During the spring and fall, Conservation Areas staff assisted the Conservation Services section with tree and shrub planting programs on private and Authority lands In co-operation with the Property Section, staff completed a property line fencing project at Nashville Reservoir /,..nnr In B-39 CLMD PROGRESS REPORTS PAGE -4 During the fall, senior division staff completed the organization of the Authority's Joint Health and Safety Committee to meet the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act The committee, with representatives selected by the staff of each division, has taken up its duties Committee representatives and other division staff participated in a Chainsaw Safety Seminar The annual staff First Aid Course was conducted by Heart Lake Area Superintendent and St. John's Ambulance Instructor, Henry Burke At Albion Hills, the chalet interior was repainted and the furniture refinished The campground office was completed and in use during the camping season Attendance at the campground was up 4,270 camper days over 1979 The ski pro- gram was in full operation at year end with good early winter conditions The Bruce's Mill Maple Syrup demonstration operated from mid March to mid April Improvements were made to both the old fashioned and Indian method displays Attendance was down 2,172 general visitors and 1,047 school children The annual ski area Open House was presented at Bruce's Mill December 7th, The ski program was in full operation at year end Several special activities took place at Claireville during the year On May 10, the Lamplighters camping club held a tree planting day during which club members planted 1,000 reforestation trees May 11, the annu~l Open House was held to launch the canoe program season Eight additional canoes were added to the inventory to accommodate larger groups The program attendance and rentals increased slightly over the previous year Windsurfing Toronto operated under permit a windsurfing program and organized a moderately successful regatta June 28-29 The Ontario Water Ski Association requested use of the Claireville Reservoir and following a special demonstration August 20, interim use of the site was authorized The Association operated a limited program to mid-September A formal agreement for future use of the site is being finalized At Cold Creek, the interior of the Trap Range Control Building and a new gate- house were completed The model aircraft site, the new home of the Radio Control Flying Club of Toronto, was opened June 21, with a fun fly contest During the summer, 3 special one day Husky Dog shows were held by the Siberian Husky Club Five 20 hour Hunter Education Courses were conducted using Area range facilities. A special program, "A Day on the Escarpment" was held July 20 at the Glen Haffy Area Features included a fishing contest for children, displays by the Niagara Escarpment Commission, the Caledon Bruce Trail Club, the Glen Haffy Trout rearing program and Authority Land Management programs Dr Walter Tovell presented a special feature on the gology of Glen Haffy The Town of Ajax 25th Anniversary was commerated on May 24th at the Greenwood Area The day featured free admission, tree planting ceremonies and fishing demonstrations. Throughout the year, staff were involved in several promotional activities Flyers and brochures were prepared and distributed, radio, cable TV interviews and lectures given on Conservation Area programs and special events Again in 1980, the Ontario Experience Program contributed significantly to Conservation Areas operation and maintenance with 27 students employed in Conservation Areas.

Area Operations 982,335 796,589 81 B-41 CLMD PROGRESS REPORT PAGE -6 FINANCIAL COMMENTS The increase in demand for Conservation Services Assistance Programs resulted in an over-expenditure of $42,636 This over-expenditure has been offset by the additional revenue of $ 39,222 received by providing additional services combined with the under spending in the Authority land programs ($2,931) The total over-expenditure for Conservation Services programs is $483 00 Conservation Area Development expenditures were slightly in excess of the projected budget. Over expenditures at Claireville, Indian Line Campground and the Bruce's Mill Pancake Pavilion were offset by underexpenditures in a number of items including program planning. Conservation Areas revenue was $185,700 below estimate This shortfall resulted from loss of revenue due to lack of snow during the winter A slight increase in summer attendance and good year end winter attendance were insufficient to offset the early season loss in revenue To lessen the impact of this revenue loss, Conservation Area operations spending was reduced by terminating most seasonal staff on Labour Day, utilizing Area staff on other projects during the fall and limiting material expenditures to essential items Through this action, Conservation Area operating costs were reduced $127,400 from budget estimates The net effect was a $58,300 short- fall at year end.

The Land Acquisition Program has as its objectives to recognize the suitability for acquisition of (a) those hazard lands which are flooded from time to time in order to have maximum control over their ability to safely accommodate flood water, (b) those lands which, due to physical hazards of slope instability and/or unstable soils, are not suitablp for developmpnt, (c) those conservation lands of a significant and/or sensitive natural character and are best managed by a public agency to retain their natural characteristics and functions. B-112 - 2 - LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION Since its inception in 1957, the Authority has pursued a comprehensive water and related land management program including, as one component, the acquisition of hazard and conservation lands. The acquisition component has resulted in public ownership of significant stretches of the valley systems and the Lake Ontario waterfront, ensuring their long term protection from unwise use. An important ancillary benefit has been the creation of opportunities for public use on these lands and their function as the backbone of the regional open space system. The property acquired prior to 1961 and subsequently under the "Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation", the "Interim Water and Related Land Management Project", and under the Waterfront Projects 1972-1976 and 1977-1981, represents approximately 5,280 hectares of flood plain and conservation land and 95 hectares of waterfront hazard land These Authority owned lands are identified in Tables 1 and 2 B-1l3 TABLE 1 AUTHORITY OWNED fLOOD PLAIN AND CONSERVATION LAND WATERSHED HECTARES Etobi coke 125 l1imico 50 Humber (including Black Creek) 2,245 Don 720 Highland (including Centennial 392 Creek) Rouge 955 Petticoat Creek 72 Duffins 720 TOTAL 5,280 ~LL AUTHORITY OWNED WATERFRONT HAZARD LAND SECTOR HECTARES Etobicoke 5 City of Toronto 6 Scarborough 51 Pickering/Ajax 33 TOTAL 95 B-114 - 3 - Encroachment in a highly urbanized area like the Metropolitan Toronto region poses an increasing threat to the naturally significant and environmentally sensitive areas that remain The conservation of these lands is becoming more important to the Authority, its member municipalities and the Ministry of Natural Resources. The major naturally significant areas of concern to the Authority are the valleys of the major river systems and the waterfront This area only comprises about 16,250 hectares, as compared with the almost 260,000 hectares under the Authority's jurisdiction (about 67.). These open areas are important, not only for fulfilling their natural function of passing and storing flood waters, but also for the important natural open space they provide for the surrounding urban community The community's interest in conserving significant valleys has become more apparent as a result of the action of residents and interest groups in supporting the retention of these lands in their natural state and through the current efforts of many municipalities to designate the valleys as permanent open space The Authority is of the opinion that even with an effective development control program using Authority regulations, under The Conservation Authorities Act, and municipal zoning restrictions, it is essential that the option be retained for the public acquisition of hazard and conservation land Regulation itself, will not entirely control the continuing development pressure on privately owned lands. Furthermore,this pressure is likely to increase in the future as developable land decreases Public ownership ensures that use of the hazard and conservation land is in conformity with the objectives of the Authority, its municipalities and the Province of Ontario Public acquisition gives the required control over encroachment into hazardous and sensitive areas when carried out on a selective basis In defining areas as suitable for acquisition, the Authority is establishing a framework wherein it may buy land Individual properties must be considered in the light of a number of factors, including, but not limited to - the costs involved both for purchase and long term management, - the alternative of successfully controlling the land use through regulation either by the Authority, the municipality or the Province; - the significance of the role that the land, once acquired, will play in water management; - the significance of the role that the land will play in providing other ancillary benefits such as open space. Certain public and private uses of hazard and conservation lands are compatible with Authority objectives Golf courses, cemetaries and agriculture are some examples The inclusion of these lands within Authority acquisition limits is to establish Authority interests In the event that such lands cease to be used for their present purpose, each parcel would be considered on its own merits, with acquisition being an option available B-115 - 4 - The land Acquisition Program is to serve as the mechanism by which the Authority specifically acquires hazard and conservation lands. Other programs, notably the Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program and the Watershed Recreation Program, can also make provision for the acquisition of lands necessary to fulfill specific park and open space objectives, if required. The intent of this three year project is to serve as the means by which the land Acquisition Program is implemented over a defined period of time. Hazard lands are those susceptible to a specified risk, be it flood or erosion Conservation lands are significant or sensitive areas requiring public protection in order to retain their natural character and/or water related function As identified more fully in the land Acquisition Program hazard lands are defined by the following criteria (a) The Authority may acquire these lands defined by the flood plain of the Regional Storm generally draining in excess of 1300 hectares. (b) The Authority may acquire those lands along the waterfront defined by the 100 year flood level plus wave uprush (c) The Authority may acquire those lands along the river valleys generally draining in excess of 1300 hectares or along the waterfront which due to hazards or unstable slopes or soils make them undevelopable or untenable if already developed Conservation Lands are located within the following limits (a) The Authority may acquire those significant valley and waterfront lands which warrant conservation These lands generally lie between the flood limit and the top of bank (b) The Authority may acquire those lands, which are environmentally sensitive, that abut or lie within a valley, the waterfront or are part of a headwater zone, and should not be altered Detailed criteria dealing with the definition of environmentally significant and sensitive have been prepared by the Authority and are set out in the Land Acquisition Program. These criteria serve as the basis for the Authority's involvement in the acquisition of these lands B-116 - 5 - The alternative to acquiring these conservation lands, whether they be significant and/or environmentally sensitive, are difficult to assess Each acquisition must be judged on its particular merits as to the importance of retaining its character or allowing its destruction or partial alteration The areas defined in the Program must be looked on as areas of high potential which should have full consideration by the responsible political jurisdictions Certainly the cost and amount of funding allocated will be a major determinant in this area of acquisition. Based on the criteria previously defined, Table 3 and Figure 1 identify the extent of hazard and conservation lands suitable for acquisition by the Authority under its Land Acquisition Program and replaces the former "Master Plan for the Acquisition of Flood Plain and Conservation Land" Figure 2 represents the present Authority ownership as previously detailed in Tables 1 and 2. As a result of additional studies, consideration will be given to the inclusion of other lands within this program if they are deemed to meet the hazard or conservation land criteria This project identifies the lands which the Authority considers suitable for acquisition Individual properties will be considered on a site by site basis as they become available on the market and subject to the availability of funds. Certain general criteria are considered in the determination of acquisition priorities, including (a) the degree of hazard that exists to life, structures or property, (b) the timing of an alteration in land use or a potential encroachment; (c) the ability of regulatory agencies to control the change in land use; (d) the ancillary role that the land might have, such as part or an open space system Generally, priorities exist in areas which are hazardous, in those locations where urban encro~chment is beginning, and, where potential problems can be eliminated early, thereby avoiding costly expenditures later on Once land has been acquired, it is managed in accordance with policies discussed in the Conservation Land Management Program The use and management of Authority owned land will be governed by criteria adopted by the Authority as they affect flooding, erosion and wise land use The Authority's acquisition limits are based on physical characteristics not on property boundaries Where it is necessary for the Authority to acquire a parcel of land, part of which is outside its acquisition limits, the feasibility of severing the surplus lands will be considered on a site specific basis B-1l7 TABLE 3 EXTENT OF LANDS WITHIN AUTHORITY ACQUISITION LIMITS (In Hectares) AS PER FIGURE 1 Watershed Hazard Conservation Lands Lands TOTAL Etobi coke 868 163 1,031 Mimico 381 47 428 Humber 3,292 1 ,939 5,231 Don 1,661 885 2,546 Highland 360 434 794 Rouge 1,084 1 ,202 2,286 Duffin 1,258 529 1,787 Petticoat 51 84 135 Carruthers 169 - 169 TOTAL 14,407 Waterfront Etobi coke 24 11 35 Toronto 77 247 324 Scarborough 163 54 217 Pickering/Ajax 119 76 195 TOTAL 771 NOTE Conservation Land figure~ do not include all environmentally sensitive areas at this time B-118 FIGURE 1 TITLE "ACQUISITION LIMITS" (same as in the 'LAND ACQUISITION PROGRAM') B-119 FIGURE 2 TITLE "LAND OWNERSHIP" (same as in the 'LAND ACQUISITION PROGRAM') B-120 - 6 - Where lands are acquired within urbanized areas of the Authority's jurisdiction, special management problems may exist due to the proximity of development. The Authority's ability to maintain property is severely constrained where it is not revenue producing. Therefore, consistent with practice, the Authority will encourage municipalities to assume the management of hazard and conservation land within the urban areas. The land Acquisition Project provides for an annual expenditure of $1,500,000 which will be apportioned approximately 85X within the valley systems and 15X along the lake Ontario waterfront. . 8-121 - 7 - COSTS AND FINANCING The costs associated with this project include land acquisition, legal and survey fees, demolition and property clean up and interest. ~ 1982 1983 1984 TOTAL Hazard and Conservation $1,500,000 $1,500,000 $1,500,000 $4,500,000 Land Acquisition FINANC ING The acquisition of hazard and conservation lands is of benefit to all municipalities within the jurisdiction of the Authority not only in maintaining their ability to accommodate the natural functions of valley and waterfront land but also in providing op~n space for the enjoyment of all residents. The preservation of environmentally significant and sensitive areas are also of benefit to the people of the entire region and will contribute positively to the quality of life for generations to come Therefore, the Authority proposes that the three year Land Acquisition Project 1982-1984 be a generalLy benefiting project with all member municipalities contributing to the Authority's share based on equalized assessment.

The goal of the Authority through this project is to minimize the hazards of erosion to life and property within the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and is a continuation of work undertaken initially in Project W C -60 "Erosion Control and Bank Stabilization in Metropolitan Toronto", commencing in 1974, and the subsequent "Interim Water and ReLated Land Management Project", 1977-1981. To achieve its goal the Authority has defined the following objectives (a) to im~leflle"t il program of major and minor remediaL works for the control of erosion; (b) to recognize the importance of the natural valley character in the design of remedial works wherever feasible; (d to continue to update and augment the current state of the art regarding erosion controL in the Authority's jurisdiction In implementing this project, the Authority will maintain an erosion inventory f i l e and will annuaLly update a "Pool of Erosion Priority Sites". This project will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of The EnvironmentaL Assessment Act and addressed in The "Class Environmental Assessment for Erosion and Sediment Control". B-126 - 3 - LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION This project addresses itself to those watercourses within The MunicipaLity of MetropoLitan Toronto which generaLLy drain in excess of 1300 hectares. Project W C -60 incLuded a classification of all watercourses within MetropoLitan Toronto for the purpose of defining the financial responsibi l i ti es of Met ropo l itan Toronto, the area municipalities and the Authority with respect to the implementation of erosion control works. Watercourses, or sections thereof, were designated either major, intermediate or minor Since the adoption of Project W C -60, the Authority has responded to . the requests of its other member municipalities and has expanded its erosion control work into the regionaL municipalities of Durham, Peel and York The original classification system was not designed to adequately address this expanded area and, therefore, a new system was developed based on the extent of the Authority's existing mapping, the level of funding ava i lab le to the Authority to carry out remedial measures for erosion controL and the concentration of the major erosion sites aLong the larger tributaries \ In comparing the two classification systems, i t was noted that the appliciltion of the new system to MetropoLitan Toronto would only result in minor aLterations to the areas wherein the Authority wouLd have direct responsibi lity It was also identified that the utilization of a single system throughout the region would faci Litate the administration of the program The Authority has, therefore, appLied the new classification system within all its member municipalities The main difference between the old and new classification systems is t ha t rather than three categories there are now two - watercourses draining generaLly in excess of 1300 hectares and those draining Less than 1300 hectares. It will be the poLicy of the Authority to carry out erosion controL works on watercourses draining generally in excess of 1300 hectares On watercourses draining Less than 1300 hectares the provision of such works will be the responsibility of the municipality Exceptions to t his may occur where i t i s determined by the Authority and the municipality that specific watercourses, or sections thereof, due to their physical characteristics, warrant inclusion within the Authority's responsibiLities.

Major work sites are those where a structure or a sizeable land area is in imminent danger and where significant engineering works are required for its protec- tion. Minor work sites are those where the immediate impLementation of a smaLL amount of protective work, e g rip-rap or vegetation, will prevent the development of a serious problem in the future Due to the success of work previously undertaken by the Authority, there has been a decrease in the number of sites requiring major works. For the foreseeable future the number of minor work sites remains constant. The Authority currently maintains information on approximately 150 active erosion sites on those watercourses in Metropolitan Toronto draining generally in excess of 1300 hectares From this information, the Authority has formulated a "Pool of Erosion Priority Sites" (see Table 1 ) for the purpose of developing its major remedial works program In preparing for the erosion protection work program, continued monitoring and updating of the data base is important in order to keep abreast of changing site conditions. Because erosion is dynamic, priorities can change from yea r to year and sometimes even after a single storm The process of reviewing and updating priorities must be continued not only to make the system equitable but aLso to adjust annuaL funding requirements In evaluating and assigning priorities for erosion control works, three major factors are considered potential effect to structures, vaLLey wall conditions and river action The potential effect on structures is deemed the most important and accordingly given more weight than the physical and geoLogical conditions associated with the other two factors Determining the potential effect on structures involves a number of parameters including the state of erosion, distance to structures and the number, size and type of structure(s) . affected VaLley wall conditions includes the height of valley wa ll, slope angle, vegetative cover, groundwater characteristics and the so i l type and composition River action, as a factor, considers the present river alignment as we II as the potential cutting action.

The estimated cost of the first stage can be roughly broken down into the following major components Berms and Channel l'1ork - $297,000 Bridge Construction - 300,000 Acquisition - 100,000 Engineering & Contingencies - 150,000 TOTAL - $847,000 The additional costs associated with Stage 2 can also be grouped as fol10ws Additional Channel Work - $46,000 Bridge Construction - 320,000 Additional Engineering & - 89,000 Contingencies TOTAL - $455,000 Staff suggest that the extra costs involved in providing the 500 year flood protection as opposed to the minimum level of the 150 year flood can be justified and would recommend that the higher level of protection be provided However, should funding be a problem, it is recommended that a two stage program be adopted whereby the minimum level of protection be provided as soon as possible and the additional work phased to coincide with the availability of additional funding or in conjunction with the reconstruction of the King Side Road bridge when it becomes necessary Preliminary discussions with staff of the Town of Caledon have indicated their genera 1 concurrence with the alternative remedial measure proposed It is proposed that this would be done as a Benefiting Municipality project with the Region of Peel being designated as the Benefiting Municipality and would pay the Authority's share or 45% of the costs The Province of Ontario would give a grant for the remaining 55% /3 B-164 TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION ADVISORY BOARD, M T R C A. - Mtg 111/81 FROM Mr J C Mather, Head, Flood Control Section - Water Resource Division RE HUMBER RIVER AT BOLTON - PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING STUDY Page 3 , The breakdown of costs for the two stage program would be as follows The estimates are based on 1980 dollars Province of Peel Ontario Total Stage 1 (150 year flood) 381,150 00 465,850 00 847,000 00 Stage 2 (500 year flood) 204,750 00 250,250 00 455,000 00 TOTAL 585,900 00 716,100 00 1,302,000.00 RECOMMENDATIONS RESOLVED '1'IIAT The staff communication on Humber River at Bolton _ Preliminary Engineering Study and the Preliminary Engineering Report entitled "Preliminary Engineering Study, Flood Protection - Village of Bolton" dated March, 1981 as prepared by Marshall Macklin Monaghan Limited be received; and THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT Staff be directed to prepare a formal brief outlining the construction details and cost breakr10wn for flood protection works based on providing the ultimate protection to the 500 year floed in a two stage basis, for the approval of the Authority, the Regional Municipality of Peel and the Province of Ontario 1981 03 23 JCM/fn .

B-I72 - 1 - INTRODUCTION The MetropoLitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (MTRCA) is a regional public agency. The MTRCA's area of jurisdiction includes 3,467 square kiLometres 2,506 of land and 961 water based. This comprises the watersheds of all streams entering Lake Ontario from Etobicoke Creek to Carruthers Creek, as weLL as Lake Ontario to the international boundary. The MTRCA has six participating municipalities the ~unicipality of MetropoLitan Toronto, the Regional Municipalities of Peel, York and Durham, and the Townships of AdjaLa and Mono In 1980 the population within MTRCA's jurisdiction was approximately 2,700,000 The work of Conservation Authorities is derived from The Conservation Authorities Act which, in its provisions, defines the scope and limits of responsibilities Listed beLow are the appropriate Legislative provisions for undertakings in this Class SECTION 19 "The objects of an authority are to establish and undertake, in the area over which it has jurisdiction, a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, deveLopment and manage- ment of natural resources other them gas, oil, coal and minerals." SECTION 20 "For the purposes of accomplishing its objects, an authority has power," "to study and investigate the watershed and to determine a program whereby the naturaL resources of the watershed may be conserved, restored, developed and managed," "to erect works and structures and create reservoirs by the construction of dams or otherwise," "to contr"lL the flow of surface waters in order to prevent floods or pollution or to reduce the adverse effects thereof," "to alter the course of any river, canaL, brook, stream or watercourse, and divert or alter, as weLL temporarily as permanently, the course of any river, stream, road, street or way, or raise or sink its LeveL in order to carry it over B-173 - 2 - or under, on the level of or by the side of any work built or to be built by the authority, and to divert or alter the position of any water pipe, gas pipe, sewer, drain or any telegraph, telephone or electric wire or pole;" In 1974, the MTRCA commenced erosion control undertakings in Metropolitan Toronto with the primary objective being the protectio~ of structures and private property. These works were initiated in response to a soecific request from the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and members of the public. In 1978 this program was expanded to include the Regional Municipalities of Peel, York and Durham. In 1980 the scope of the program was increased to include sediment control In addition, in 1962 the MTRCA initiated a program to control erosion and sedimentation upstream of reservoirs and proposed reservoir sites In 1979 the scope of this upstream reservoir program was increased to include the improvement of stream quality in general for the upper portions of the watercourses through the reduction of sediment This Class Environmental Assessment is intended to cover all of the above programs which can be described as the control of erosion and sedimentation within river valleys. Information on the erosion and sediment control programs can be obtained by telephoning 661-6600 or by writing to Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 5 Shoreham Drive Downsview, Ontario M3N 1S4 B-174 - 3 - PART I BACKGROUND INFORMATION I - 1 Introduction Part I of this document explains the reasons for considering erosion and sediment control undertakings as a group or class, provides a general description of the characteristics of the undertakings and describes the type of problems these undertakings would resolve Alternative types of undertakings that could be considered for these problems are also described Alternative design and construction methods are outlined and an explanation is given of the circumstances in which an individual environmental assessment may become necessary for an undertaking normally in this class B-175 - 4 - I - 2 Rationale For Adopting The Class Environmental Assessment Approach The Environmental Assessment Act permits a proponent, such as the MTRCA, to prepare environmental assessments for undertakings subject to the Act on either an "individual" or a "class" basis. Approval of the Class Environmental Assessment would allow the design and construction of any project in this class to proceed without subsequent approvals by the Minister of the Environment with respect to the provisions of The Environmental Assessment Act, 1975 However, it should be recognized that the option would still exist for any undertaking within a class to be subject to an individual assessment The undertakings covered by this document, when taken as a group, can be described as the control of erosion and sedimentation within river valley sy~tems. This group of undertakings merits consideration as a class because of important characteristics which the individual undertakings have in common . the undertakings are proposed to solve common problems; they occur frequently; . the process of design and construction is basically the same for undertakings of this type, . the problems are encountered in a dynamic system which often requires immediate remedial works to avoid more serious problems; . the undertakings in this class generally result in temporary, predictable minor impacts in the shore term and a net environmental benefit in the long term B-176 - 5 - I - 3 Description Of The Problem Erosion is a natural process that may be broadly defined as the gradual wearing away of the earth's crust by the principal dynamic agents of water, wind, gravity and ice For the purposes of this document there Jre four main types of erosion caused by flowing or falling water (Figure 1) (1) Raindrop erosion, (2) Sheet erosion, (3) Rill and gully erosion, (4) Stream and channel erosion Within the unaltered environment, geologic erosion and sedimentation is a natural, recurring element that is a relatively slow process and can be accepted as inevitable However, the environmental changes emanating from man-induced activities have resulted in a significant acceleration and distortion of this process and its associated problems Initially an increase in the rate of erosion and sediment loss occurs as forests are cleared and the land is plowed for agricultural use A further increase in the rate generally occurs as the landscape is more severely modified to build roads, develop towns and cities and construct other facilities essential to economic and social development The most serious effect of the urbanization of an area is the hydrological modification Increased areas of impervious surface tend to increase both the total volume of runoff and the flow velocities, which increase the energy available for river valley erosion. The acceleration of erosion is introduced through man's activities and is essentially subject to man's control. With further urbanization within the MTRCA's area of juriSdiction, river erosion will continue to be influenced by the ever-changing hydrologic and hydraulic characteristics of the river system The significance of this general process is magnified by the increasing pressures for use of land within erosion susceptible areas abutting the watercourses B-l77 TYPES OF EROSION CAUSED BY FALLING AND FLOWING WATER 1 RAINDROP EROSION' ErosIOn resulting Irom the direct Impact of '011109 drops of roin on soil particles.

Silt reduces the effectiveness of flood control reservoirs and channels The deposition of silt at river mouths and harbours can impede navigation, necessitating expensive maintenance dredging Anyone or a combination of these problems could be sufficient to warrant erosion and sediment control remedial measures B-183 - 12 - I - 5 Alternatives In some instances there may be more than one way of solving the problem. In addition to the remedial works included in this class, there are three alternatives which may be used singly or in combination with or without remedial works. The mechanism for considering the alternatives has been incorporated into the "Design Process". The alternatives considered are outlined below (1) Do nothing In all cases the "do nothing" option is considered first For the majority of erosion sites, the "do nothing" option is the only alternative available given the limitations of funding However, in order to be a priority* erosion site, at the initiation of the design stage this option must be considered unacceptable. In the "Design Process" the "do nothing" option may be re-evaluated for a number of reasons (2) Acquire land If the cost of the undertaking outweighs the economic and environmental benefits, the land acquisition option may be exercised (3) Regulate land use This option can be exercised when redevelopment is planned In addition to set- backs for structures in erosion-prone areas, storm water management controls can be used in upstream areas to avoid the aggravation of existing downstream erosion problems (4) Undertake remedial measures This involves the solving of existing problems through the undertaking of on-site works These are considered in detail in the following section (5) Combination of the above In some cases a combination of the above with or without remedial works may be the most cost-effective approach and is considered in the planning process * Criteria by which a site is classed as a priority site are found in Appendix 1. 3-184 - 13 - I - 6 Alternative Methods Of Carrying Out The Undertaking This section describes the various ways that could be considered for carrying out a specific erosion and sediment control undertaking The alternatives as described below are not necessarily interchangeable In some cases one or more of the alternatives may be inadequate or several of the alternatives may be required in combination to solve the problem Following is a description of each alternative and a brief outline of its environmental impacts A more detailed description of the environmental impacts can be found in Appendix 2 and in "Environmental Impacts of Erosion Control Structures" (MTRCA 1980> Environmental benefits of the undertakings have not been discussed, as these are common to all methods and are outlined in "Purpose and Rationale for the Undertaking" (1 ) Revetments A revetment is any type of bank protection or retaining structure The major types are rip-rap, gabion and concrete or sheet pile walls (photos 9 - 12). (a) Rip-rap consists of stones, boulders crushed rock and broken concrete placed as a protective covering on exposed surfaces above and (or) below the water level As with all types of revetments, a ~elected granular material and (or) synthetic filter material is used to permit drainage from behind the structure Environmental Impacts Water quality impacts occur if riparian vegetation is removed to build the structure This is particularly true for heavily vegetated banks, however, for essentially all undertakings in this class, little or no riparian vegetation is present Removal of vegetation from streambanks can reduce shading, causing increased temperature fluctuations This can result in a change in temperature- dependent chemical reactions (e g. oxygen, other gases, conductivity, pH, dissolved solids) Sediment changes are small, generally there is a minor shift to coarser particles at the structure and finer particles below the structure These changes result in minor alterations in sediment chemistry and the benthic invertebrate community.

Fish habitat is greatly reduced and in some cases fish passage may be hindered B-187 - 16- (d) Log cribs are used to protect strcambanks where the available land base is insufficient for rip-rap, where the natural appearancc of the area must be maintained, or where the problem area is small and could be done easily and inexpensively using this technique Environmental Impacts The impact on adjacent terrestrial communities is minimal relative to other methods, and the fish habitat is improved (e) Others Many new products, such as the various forms of interlocking blocks, are being marketed Depending on the product, they could be interchanged for gabions, rip-rap or concrete (2) Drop Structures On smaller streams it is sometimes feasible to reduce the erosive energy of flowing water This can be accomplished by constructing drop structures, which consist of one or a series of erosion-resistant steps which dissipate energy Drop structures usually require additional stabilization in the form of concrete, rip-rap or gabions, both at the structure and for a short distance downstream. Envi ronment a l Impacts The principal impact of drop structures is that the pattern of scouring and sediment deposition is altered by the new pool and riffle distribution Minor changes in the local distribution of benthic invertebrates occur, but overall changes in biomass are unlikely In some cases fish habitat may be enhanced but fish passage, especially for small fish, may be inhibited or eliminated (3) Channel Re-alignment Where lateral bank cutting is critical and stabilization of the slope impractical, then diversion of thc stream channel may be necessary Often where the valley wall and river bank are coincident such a situation arises The new channel usually requires stabilization with revetments Environmental Impacts The impacts of channel re-alignment are dependent upon the design In the short term B-188 - 17 - the terrestrial environment will be disturbed and the benthic invertebrate community will be eliminated. However, recolonization by invertebrates occurs quickly Long term impacts are dependent upon the length of the re-aligned channel relative to the old channel If the length is decreased the sediments will be coarser and if it is increased they will be finer than in the original channel The benthic invertebrate community will change to one suited to the new conditions Additional impacts associated with stabilization of the banks with revetments will also occur and will be dependent upon the method and material used (4) Bank Regrading In cases where the bank is unstable and if left to attain a stable angle would endanger structures, then the slope may be adjusted through filling to a stable angle In cases where the river channel is re-aligned it is often necessary to regrade the former bank to a stable angle Environmental Impacts The principal impact associated with bank regrading is associated with the disturbance of existing vegetation during filling However, in most cases little or no vegetation other than some annual plants is present on an actively eroding bank If mature perennial vegetation is present, it may be possible to retain the vegetation provided that the stable slope angle can still be achieved (5) Bank Drainage Improvements In some cases, bank instability is aggravated by either surface water or groundwater runoff French drains or other tile systems and erosion-resistant swales can be used to alleviate this situation Environmental Impact Impacts of bank drainage improvement are minor and relate to reducing water percolation time and causing point source inputs of water to the watercourse. In most cases no detectable environmental change would be expected (6) Slope Revegetation Where erosive energy is not sufficiently high to require structural measures, vegetation can be used tu stabilize soil, slow runoff and dissipate its erosive energy and filter sediment from runoff B-189 - 18 - Environmental Impacts None (7) Fences Erosion and sedimentation are aggravated where livestock have uncontrolled access along watercourses Constant trampling causes streambanks to break down, and the browsing habits of livestock result in the destruction of herbaceous and woody vegetation Fences with watering stations incorporated into them can substantially reduce this problem Depending on the existing site conditions, clear gravel may be spread in the ar;a of the watering station, including the stream bottom, to support the concentrated livestock traffic The enclosed area is then planted with trees and shrubs to accelerate the rate of regeneration Environmental Impacts No negative environmental impacts are associated with fences (8) Deflectors Deflectors can be used in conjunction with other methods of bank stabilization or by themseLves to direct water away from streambanks which are eroding or have the potential of eroding Environmcntal Impacts Deflectors can be fabricated in numerous ways using a variety of materials The impact on thc terrestrial environment is minimal Deflectors can increase the stream velocity, resulting in minor changes in scdiment chemistry, benthic invertebratc distribution and pool-riffle ratios . (9) COMbination of the Above Although the above methods of construction are described as alternative methods, they are often used in combination to soLve an erosion problem Typical solutions have been . graphically illustrated in Figure 3 ~(v(C(T.TEO Sl.O.E~ IP. $- " Sl.ePE "".:( / // 7 / I '7 PEIlC_EC ....E.r.scE , , I __- IJ-~ I ---=::_-_~___,_ I -:re----::J=--/ J" ....E.Me.;s S~I~ / ,1L~=- ---1Z --....-- / I / '" t-;'-:--"'- I / /'" ~ - ~-I ,p -'----"'/--; I / , nJ'~ ~.~ ,.~ _ ,., I ,~~_:;.j- / / / / / / 1/ t-;.--j / CO"PACm / / / / 'OO-Y[A~ now ,-.:':-' I B t" / / I . f..__ -~-:'-;'7 / /. · ;- / I / ,',- ~--_.

As part of the "Design Process" for projects in this class, various construction methods will be examined with the objective being to minimize environmental impacts. In some cases, only one feasible construction method may be identified while in other cases, a wide range of options may be considered Where adverse environmental impacts resulting from construction practices have been identified, the requirement for special provisions will be identified in the site- specific Environmental Study Report These provisions will indicate such restrictions and mitigating measures as on and off stream sediment control methods, method and location of watercourse crossings, equipment used, time of year and duration of works, access routes and post-construction remedial work. The construction supervisor will be responsible for the implementation of these provisions. Appendix 3 contains potential environmental impacts and the construction practices and mitigating methods used to minimize the environmental impacts . B-l92 - 21 - I - 8 Undertakings Not Incl uded In This Class This Class Environmental Assessment document does not apply to those activities associated with erosion and sediment control which are exempt under Regulations 836/76 and 636/77. B-193 - 22- I - 9 Provision For Requiring An Individual Environmental Assessment For An Undertaking In This Class If it is found that an undertaking in this class has associated with it severe environmental condition changes, it may be appropriate to carry out an individual Environmental Assessment The circumstances which would lead to such a decision are not necessarily related to such factors as the cost or size of an undertaking. The following examples indicate the type of circumstances that could lead to such a decision (1 ) The history of the undertaking suggests that potential environmental impacts are extensive, that environmental features are very sensitive or that the undertaking is controversial, (2) Preliminary work on or public reaction to a proposed undertaking suggests that potential environmental impacts are more significant, environmental features are more sensitive or the social and financial implications more controversial than originally assumed; (3) The mitigating measures proposed to minimize adverse impacts are not considered adequate to resolve concerns expressed lhe mc~llalllsm tur reQuHing an individual Environmcntal Assessment will be one of the following (1 ) MTRCA would recognize, generally at an early stage in the study, that the sensitivities associated with the undertaking are such that an individual Environmental Assessment is required and would declare this to the Environmental Assessment Section, Environmental Approvals Branch, Ministry of the Environment (2) The Minister of the Environment may direct the MTRCA to prepare an individual Environmental Assessment In this regard, any individual, public group or government agency may bring its concerns to the attention of the Minister at any time from inception of the design process until the specified time period (Section II - 3) after the submission of the Environmental Study Report and request that an individual Environmental Assessment be prepared 8-194 - 23 - PART III DESIGN PROCESS II - 1 introduction This section of the document explains the process to be used by the MTRCA to fulfill the requirements of The Environmental Assessment Act in the design and construction of undertakings in this class. Three major stages are involved in the "Design Process" Project Initiation, which includes defining the problem and the planning and programming of a large number of undertakings, Design, and Implementation. The involvement of the public, municipalities and government agencies (including the Ministry of the Environment) in these activities is described A flow chart of the "Design Process" is provided in Figure 4.

In 1978 and 1979, the MTRCA, in conjunction with the Ministry of Natural Resources, undertook an erosion inventory of the cold-water streams under the jurisdiction of the MTRCA Based on year-round monitoring, input from the public and municipalities, the MTRCA continually updates the data base and priorities Initial Planning Process The MTRCA undertakes multi-year Projects generally of three to five years' duration. In the preparation of a multi-year Project for erosion and sediment control, the available base information is reviewed to assess the required funding and to determine a priority list of sites Internal app.cvals are r€quir~d fe. multi-year Projects through the appropriate Advisory Board, the Executive Committee and the Full Authority Conservation Authority members consist of representatives (either elected officials or appointed citizens) from the municipalities within the jurisdiction of the MTRCA As multi-year Projects are funding documents, and, as the funds are obtained from the member municipalities of a Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources, all multi-year Projects are forwarded to the member municipalities and the Ministry of Natural Resources for formal approval In addition, any w~lti-year funding also requires the approval of the Ontario Mu,icipal Board On an annual basis, priority lists are reviewed and updated and work for the following year is scheduled Internal approval is required through the appropriate Advisory Board and the Executive Committep The annual priority lists of all proposed remedial works sites are then forwarded to the Ministry of Natural Resources, the member B-197 - 25- municipalities, the Ministry of the Environment and any so designated provincial agencies stipulated as part of this Class Environmental Assessment. At any time, through continuous monitoring by MTRCA staff, or input from the public either by direct communication with MTRCA staff or through submission to the appropriate Advisory Ooard or Executive Committee, the priority list can change. Usually this would involve either adding an additional site to the priority list or elevating an existing site within the priority ratings However, any new site or re-evaluation of an existing site through the above mechanism is subject to the same technical criteria as other sites 8-198 - u- II - 3 Design Conceptual Design By the time a site is listed as a priority, it has usually been inspected a number of times over several years At each inspection, the criteria noted in Appendix 1 are documented The conceptual design is then undertaken in which the "Alternative Methods of Carrying Out the Undertaking" are evaluated. For more complex problems, additional studies such as hydrological and geotechnical studies may be carried out The extent to which a rigorous investigation and cvaluation of alternatives is carried out depends on the complexity of the problcm under consideration In many cases the problem is simple, the number of available solutions is small and the evaluation is straightforward. For more complex situations where there are several alternative solutions, these will be listed in order of most acceptable to least acceptable from an engineering point of view This will facilitate carrying out the Environmental Inventory so that it can concentrate on the environmental impacts of the most likely solutionCs). For undcrtakings whcre the major concern is loss of structures, an initial economic feasibility study will be undertaken to determine if carrying out the undertaking results in a net economic benefit Environmental Inventory An Enviro~mental Inventory is undertaken to determine it there are any potential environmental impacts The first stage of the Environmcntal Inventory involves reviewing information in the MTRCA Environmentally Sensitive Area Study CESA Study) The MTRCA initiated the ESA Study in 1978, in which the flora and fauna have been documented in the river valleys and hcadwaters under the jurisdiction of the MTRCA The ESA Study involved two phases the first was to review all available information and the second was to dOGument flora and fauna at all locations through site visits In the first phase an extensive literature review was undertaken which was supplemented by information obtained from other agencies, including the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of Culture and Recreation, Royal Ontario Museum and local universities, local interest groups such as naturalists' clubs and individual local residents with specific knowledge of the area B-199 - 27- The second stage of the Environmental Inventory involves a site visit in which the environment in the vicinity of a specific erosion or sediment site and along any potential access routes will be documented The most acceptable (least environmentally damaging) access route to the site will be identified. All sensitive components of the environment are specifically identified and recommendations are made as to how they should be protected during construction If some sensitive component of the environment would be damaged by carrying out the conceptual design, this is documented in the inventory so that modifications can be made to either minimize or eliminate the damage Information to be gathered and examined in the inventory is included in Appendix 4 In some cases, the recommendations in the inventory are dependent upon the watercourse type. Watercourses within the jurisdiction of the MTRCA are divided into the following categories 1. Cold-water streams capable of supporting a healthy cold-water fish community at the present time; 2. Streams that do not presently s~pport a cold-water fishery but with some rehabilitation could in the foreseeable future support one; 3. Streams that do not support a cold-water fishery but are a migratory route for fish, 4. Other streams Timing, construction techniques and mitigating measures are recommended such that the undertaking does not interfere with fish migrations, nor disturb the stream when fish eggs are incubating In certain cases, some environmental damage in unavoidable As a general practice, in stream types 1 and 2 outlined above, rrotection of the aquatic environment takes precedence over the terrestrial environment In stream types 3 and 4, protection of the terrestrial environment takes precedence. Preliminary Design Once the conceptual design is in place and the environmental inventory has been under- taken, the next activity is to evaluate potential for minimizing or avoiding impacts by 8-200 - 28 - (1 ) mOdifying the preferred design, (2) adopting a design alternative, or (3) selecting an appropriate construction method and related mitigating measures This may involve additional engineering studies and (or) an additional site visit by the engineer and scientist responsihle for the environmental inventory prior to progressing further Where necessary, external agencies are contacted for specialized assistance Public Input If works are to be undertaken on or near private property, meetings are held with the affected adjacent landowners to explain the proposed remedial works and to incorporate their input into the design, to agree to a cost-sharing arrangement, when required, and to obtain title or an easement to the work site and access route Ministry of Natural Resources Input The preliminary design is then forwarded to the Ministry of Natural Resources for their technical input and approval in principle for major works. Muni c i pa l Input If the work is undertaken on municipal property, input and approval in principle are requested from the municipality B-201 - 29 - Final Design Based on the conceptual design, environmental inventory, the preliminary design and comments from affected and adjacent landowners and the Ministry of Natural Resources, a final design and cost estimate is undertaken The Environmental Report as per Section III is then completed For major remedial works, the report is submitted to the MTRCA Executive Committee and Ministry of Natural Resources for comment and approval on a site-specific basis Each Environmental Study Report is submitted to the Ministry of the Environment and any other interested provincial agency so designated, no later than 30 days prior to the intended initiation date for major remedial works and 5 days for minor remedial works * , If comment has not been received from the Ministry of the Environment within the allotted review period, it will be the assumption of the MTRCA that comment is not forthcoming and that the initiation of works can proceed * Major remedial works are undertakings costing in excess of $10,000 (1981 dollars). Minor remedial works are undertakings costing $10,000 or less (1981 dollars) B-202 - 30 - II - 4 Implementation The implementation of the undertaking involves the actual construction according to the specifications developed during the Final Design Stage and documented in the Environmental Study Report. The actual construction is generally undertaken and supervised by MTRCA staff, using equipment and operators on a lease arrangement Consequently, construction methods and the construction equipment used is uniform from job to job For a small proportion of undertakings, a contractor is hired to carry out the work under the supervision of a , member of the MTRCA staff Typical activities and equipment associated with the implementation of an undertaking are summarized in Figure 5 for the most extensive undertaking and in Figure 6 for a typical undertaking The activities described will not necessarily take place in the sequence indicated and in many cases, sequentially listed activities will occur concurrently The environmental impacts associated with the activities described in Figures 5 and 6 are generally localized, of short duration and an inherent aspect of construction activity To minimize any potential impacts, the supervisor is required to implement those mitigating measures specified in the Environmental Study Report As a matter of standard practice the MTRCA will utilize the guidelines outlined in Appendix 5 (Environmental Considerations for the Planning and Construction of Erosion and Sediment Control Undertakings) In some instances, situations may arise that result in deviations from the environmental protection measures set forth in the Environmental Study Report. For example, a situation may develop during the course of construction which has not been covered in the Environmental Study Report. When this occurs, the supervisor will consult with other MTRCA staff and appropriate changes will be made If the unforeseen situation relates to an area of concern identified previously by an external agency, the relevant agency will be contacted.

In addition, the MTRCA undertakes various public awareness programs Such programs can take the form of seminars, brochures, slide show presentations, etc. Once an undertaking is initiated, public involvement is usually limited to contacts with affected property owners and those adjacent to the undertaking Meetings are held with these groups during the preliminary design stage B-"!07 " - 35 - II - 6 Summary Of Involvl:'ment Of Other Agencies MTRCA liaises with and/or obtains approval from other agencies as outlined below Multi-Year Projects Approval for funding of multi-year Projects is required from the Ontario Municipal Board, the Ministry of Natural Resources and member municipalities Onp-Yedr Projects Dl:'s igr'dted prOVHlt ia I agencies will be advised of proposed undertakings within the clas~ on an annual basis The submission will include a list of proposed undertakings, a br1ef description of each problem, and the MTRCA contact person Ind1vidual Underta~ings At th~ preliminary design ~tage ti,e Ministry of Natural Resources i, contacted for input dnd approval in principle for major remedial works.

(c) Slump-creep W<lS considered to be an important erosion process A range of potential scores was assigned to this sUb-group due to the varying degrees of severity which can accompany such activity The fOllowing key was generally used to weigh Slump-creep activity 1-2 Minor past movement 2-3 Recent minor movement 3-4 Major past movement 4-6 Major recent movement 7 Rotational failure The river action and Slump-creep categories were assigned equal maximum scores so that there would not be a major difference between the potential scores for a RB and a VW A river bank will generally obtain a score for river action and not for Slump-creep whereas the VW will obtain a Score for Slump-creep and not for river action A C slope is likely to obtain a higher score in this category because it has the potential to gain points in both of these subgroups It is proper for a C slope to have a potentially higher Score because it can be affected by both river action and Slump-creep The automatic Score Which was assigned to C banks ~n previous years has been el~minated because this type of bank was getting a double advantage over the other kinds of slope Previously, coincident banks were assigned an automatic score plus there were point advantages within certain categories The present system does not give an automatic advantage to coincident slopes but there is however, an inherent con~ensation within specific categories It is believed that this gives a more accurate impression of the relative importance of a site (d) Seopuge Within this cutegory, seepage was also considered to be an important factor in assessing the severity of a site It is likely that a bank where there is evidence of seepage has a tendancy to be more unstable than a bank ~lere no seepage occurs Specific scores have been assigned depending on the type of seepage and its location in relation to the to tell slolJe B-217 Appendix 1 Page 6 (e) Slope Dynamics This category was included to allow for some judgement on the part of the reviewer regarding the potential for future erosion at the site The potential for all of the different types of erosion should be considered at this time Alsor the importance of any physical characteristics such as tension cracks should also be evaluated at this point A maximum score of 5 facilitates the interpretation of some of the characteristics of the bank without placing too great of an importance on this in case the judgement is not entirely correct ( 3) SOILS The soil composition in the area of concern was considered to be major factor in the stability of the slope Therefore approximately one quarter of the total score was allotted to this category In the cases of valley wall and coincident slopes, a maximum potential score of 26% could be obtained A riverbank situation could obtain a possible score of 20%, the difference is accounted for in the score for river action whereas a valley wall would not score for this category A coincident slope was considered to be the worst case and this is reflected in it being able to obtain the maximum possible soil score and also a river action score The height of the bank affected was divided into three sections (top, middle and bottom) for the coincident and valley wall slopes In river bank erosionr the height of bank was divided into two sections, (top, bot tom) The soils were then classified within each of these sections The soil classification was grouped into four major groups (A) Bedrock, dense claYr competent till (B) Sands and Gravels Max 26% (C) Soft Clays and Silts (D) Unconsolidated Fill (a) COINCIDENT AND VALLEY WALL . The top section was allocated a maximum of 10% while the middle and bottom sections both had a maximum of 8% The top and middle sections from the coincident and valley wall slopes were assigned the same scores since the situation is basically the same The group A soils were considered to be only slightly affected by the processes of erosion and thus only scored 0-2 for its location anywhere in the slope The group D soils wore allocated a score of 2-4 for its location in the top section and 4-5 [or the middle Group n soils at the top would most likely be at its angle of repose or is being undercut in which case there is minor sloughing off of material from the top The location of group B soils in Ute middle was allotted a score of 4-5 because of the possible occurrence of a seepage layer or groundwater table which could cause piping or a failure plane to occur in this section B-218 Appendix 1 Page 7 Group B soils at the bottom of a coincident slope was given a score of 4-8 because of the effect of river action which could cause severe erosion of the toe The existence of Group C soils anywhere in the slope has detrimental effects Its loc~tion in the top section is not as severe as being in the middle or bottom sections which are subjected to the possibilities of deep seated failure planes and surcharge from the overlying soils Therefore a score of 5-8 was allotted for the middle and bottom sections The group D soil (fill) was considered to be not as stable as natural soils Fill was considered highly unstable at the t.op, thus a score of 5-10 was assigned Fill in the middle and bottom sections was considered to be probably more consolidated thus a score of 4-6 was assigned and 2-4 for its occurrence at the bottom of a valley wall slope since there is no river action Similarly, the occurrence of sand at the bottom of a valley wall was only assigned a score of 2-4 (b) RIVER BANK When the height of the bank affected by river erosion is less than 3m, it was classified as a river bank situation The top and bottom sections were both assigned a maximum score of 10% The existence of Group A soils anywhere in the bank was assigned a score of 0-2 based on the same reasoning as for the coincident and valley wall situations Group n soils in the top and bottom 8ections ha~ the potential of being severely eroded by the action of the river, therefore a score of 6-10 was allotted Group C soils were assigned a score of 2-5 since it is not as severely affected as the Group B soils by river action The occurrence of fill was assigned a score of 5-7 since it is not as stable as the natural soils and could be moderately affected by the river action (4) STRUCTURES AFFECTED The main objective of the program is to ensure that life is not endangered and this factor should be reflected in the weighting system TIl.i.s, the combined structure and distance score accounts'for 40% of the total score The maximum score for structure was assigned if there were essential structures which may be affected by the erosion of the bany Non-essential structures received a lower score and portable structures scor~d even less Max 40% A score was assigned for the distance from the crest of the slope to the structure Hhich is affected The relative importance of protecting an essential structure is reinforced in this section whereby distance scores arc highest for essent.ial structures and they are reduced in accordance with the docreasing value of the structures For example, a portoble structure will never obtain a higher score than a non- essential st.tuctuTe, and a non-essential structure will never score higher thdn an es ;entiill structure regi:1rdless of how close they are to the crest or L1t( ~]ol'e B-2l9 Appendix 1 Page 8 To determine whether a structure is affected, a 2 1 slope line should be projected from the toe If a structure falls within this line, the structure is said to be affected, otherwise, the structure is not affected and the structure and distance scores may be duly waived A score of 5% is assigned if there are no structures affected within 25m of the scar but private property is involved This was assigned because people are often distres5cd by any loss of their property However, no distance score can be given in this situation It should be noted that as the sites involving essential structures are corrected, non-essential and portable structures as well as private property will increase in import nce B-220 Appendix 1 Page 9 WEIGHTING SYSTEM -- 1980 ~ 1 PHYSICAL FACTORS (a) SLOPE ANGLE o -

Gabion Channel Westleigh Crescent (EWG) Etobi.coke Creek Channel realignment and rip-rap Snelgrove (SDC) Etobicoke Creek Rip-rap Grovetree West Humber River Rip-rap Black Creek Black Creek Concrete structure Section 4 of this report describesr in detai1r the nature of water qualitYr sediment quality and benthic invertebrate communities observed at control and treatment stations at each of the above locations during the course of the study These findings are combined, in Section 5, with reported results from other studies to summarize the permanent environmental effects of structural erosion control structures As well, impacts associated with other erosion prevention methods, such as drop structures, bank drainage improvement and vegetative stabilization are discussed Impacts associated with rip-rap bank protection, and other methods as well, depend to a great degree on the extent of the required modifications Tempe~ature increases occurred in the vicinity of rip-rap and appeared to be the greatest impact noted This change appeared to be related to the lack of shoreline vegetation which might otherwise shade the channel lIoweverr at essentially all erosion sitesr little or no vegetation is present prior to the installation of revetments In some cases small amounts of shoreline vegetation may have to be removed for the installation of rip-rap and may aggravate an existing problem Temperature increases might also influence dissolved oxygen concentrations, B-22G Appendix 2 Page 3 particularly during summer during long reaches, but was not observed experimentally in this study Temperature and oxygen effects arise from vegetation removal rather than rip-rap itself, in contrast to other parameter changes Sma 11 increases in pH and decreases in conductivity in rip-rap areas reflect adjustments of dissolved gases and solids to the new thermal regime Changes in suspended solids concentrations were generally small The important water quality effects of rip-rap are principally concerned with physical parameters such as temperaturer oxygenr pH, erosion and suspended solids Nutrient, trace metal and biological parameters are influenced in a relatively minor way Effects of rip-rap on sediments were generally less pronounced The principal change relates to minor shifts in particle size composition, with rip-rapped sections tending to be higher in sand, gravel and cobbler while downstream areas may experience increased proportions of silt and clay This effect was not large Changes in chemical sediment parameters generally appeared to be linked to this shift in grain size composition, as were alterations in benthic community structure Effects on benthos due to rip-rap do not extend far downstream A shift towards silt-intolerent organisms was observed in the rip-rap area, as opposed to silt-tolerent groups which occur upstream in untreated reaches In general, rip-rap can De placed in a manner which is not detrimental to fish habitat and passage, as it provides good invertebrate habitat, and the opportunity to include pools and resting positions and prevent barriers to migration Vegetation removal may reduce shelter The angle of repose of rip-rap sometimes requires a wider land base than would be the case for a concrete retaining wall This does remove some additional terrestrial habitat, which is replaced, B-227 Appendi.x 2 Page 4 in a modified form by the new rock banks Generally, only a few annual vegetation types are likely to become established in this rip-rapr although rock interstices may provide new habitat for some species of small mammalsr insects and herptiles. In summary, of the major structural types of erosion protection, rip-rap appears to be preferred from an environmental viewpoint, primarily because it has the flexibility to retain or incorporate important features of natural stream habitats Environmental effects associated with gab ion shore protection appear to be nearly identjcal to those occurring with rip-rap Decisions as to the environmentally preferred choice should consider how each structural type can be placed or modified to simulate features of a natural channel and alleviate detrimental effects at a particular site Like rip-rap, gabions can have an influence on many water quality parametersr but the most marked effects are on physio-chemical parameters such as temperature and oxygen if shoreline vegetation needs to be removed Some minor BOD reduction was observed in a gabion channel situation As with rip'-rap, larger particle sizes typified sediments within the gabi.on channelr but silt and clay fractions increased downstream from the structure Shifts in sediment levels of nutrients and trace metals are closely associated with these relative proportions of silts and clays Gabion bank protection alone may result in termperature increases due to stream exposurcr and consequent shifts in benthic community toward warm water species and away from cold stenotherms When gabions comprise the stream bottom, howeverr larger inverte- brate changes will occur The smooth bottom permits rock inter- stices to fill with sand and siltr favouring burrowing species In generalr heterogcnety of bottom substrate is provide by rip- 8-228 Appendix 2 Page 5 rap Presumably, gabion protrusions or structural modifications could be provided to enhance invertebrate and fish habitat variety in gabion areas Impacts on adjacent terrestrial systems are similar to r~p-rap although r~p-rap may require a greater land base in some cases due to its more gradual angle of repose Neither revetment type is particularly su~table for the establishment of shorel~ne vegetation and ma~ntenance of treesr although the less structured nature of r~p-rap may allow it to be carefully placea around some existing trees without major disturbance Concrete bank stabilization in its most complete form is represented by channel~zation, as occurs at Black Creek Flow through a trapezoidal concrete channel is more rapid than upstream sections, and temperature increases, due to lack of vegetational shading, appeared to be greater in the concrete channel. While concrete embankments and channels are constructed with tiles to permit ground water passage and prevent structural damage, some reduction in interchanges between ground and surface waters are inevitabler resulting in some chemical ~hanges Unlike gab ion and rip-rap, vegetation would never become established on concrete channel wal1sr reducing shading and inputs of litter and detritus Howeverr vertical concrete retaining walls permit trees and other vegetation to occur near the stream In concrete channels with concrete floors, scouring of sediments and benthos occurs during high flowsr reducing sediment/water processes and preventing the establishment of a permanent invertebrate community Smaller placements of concrete have diminished levels of impacts Simple concrete retaining walls have little direct effect on aquatic or terrestrial ecosystems Concrete channels, however, may contain sufficiently high discha'rges to prevent the successful passage of migrating fish The channel itself provides little in B-229 Appendix 2 Page 6 the way of fish spawning or adult habitat The length of tne concrete structure is a prime concern in determining impact magnitude Impacts associated with channel realiqnment depend upon the length of stream alteredr morphometry of the new channel compared to the old stream, and the degree of difference between old and new channel with respect to bank and bottom type, ground water inflows, and vegetation and landforms adjacent to the stream Many of the impacts associated with realignment can be mitigated by designing the new channel to include a similar variety and amount of aquatic habitats When undertaken for erosion control, the new channel may in fact be longer than the old Effects due to slower water velocities in such a case may include settling out of suspended solids and fecal bacteria to a minor extent Recolonization by benthic invertebrates occurs quickly upon opening of the new channel assuming physical stabilization has occurred If a new meander is added, a shift towards silt-tolerent species might be observed The provision of varied bottom conditions will encourage diversity in the new benthic comrnunitYr and provide reference points for resident fish species Permanent effects on fish movements are unlikely if design extremes are avoided Moving a stream channel often involves a greater change in floodplain terrestrial ecosystemsr at least in the short termr where terrestrial habitat is replaced by aquatic habitat, perhaps involving some loss of treesr brush, and other vegetation While these can be re-established in time, some modification is likely to be apparent for some years However, the possibility of loss of terrestrial habitat from bluffsr often in rather large blocksr would certainly be diminished by realignment, and can be considered a strong positive impact on some existing terrestrial areas I D-230 l\ppendix 2 Page 7 Drop structures may result in local changes in stream tempera- ture and OXYgen regimesr but their principal impact is a qualitative change in the nature of the habitat provided by the stream channel Often, shoreline protection is provided adjacent to the structure to reduce local bank erosion The pattern of scouring and sediment deposition is altered by the new pool and riffle distributionr and those sediment quality parameters associated with fines would show concurrent increases in calm ureas above the structures Minor changes in the local distributions of benthic invertebrates occur, but overall changes in stan~ing crop arc unlikely Some small fish species may have difficulty passing some drop structu~-es , but sport species normully could negotiate the level change providing enough water is available below the structure to permit jumping 'I'he pool and riffle habitat resulting from judicious placement of drop structures in most cases would enhance fish habitat compared with more uniform channel forms No significant permanent impacts on adjacent terrestrial systems are likely The magnitude of water quality changes due to bank drainage improvements depends upon the relative volume of run-off campLlred to streo.l11 flow, since water entering from slope drains or French drains or tiles has undergone less filtration by soilr vegetation or litter Possible increases in suspended solids, BOD, exchangeable bases and some nutrients associated with particulatesr such as phosphorus, might be expected Where run-off formerly drained down bare, exposed slopes, decreases in the above might be expected Impacts on sediment quality, fish and benthic life are unlikely, except through indirect effects if nutrient inputs increase While SOI00. reduction of soil water content is inevitable, the effect of reducing transport of soil into the watercourse can be considered a positive impact on both terrestrial and aquatic B-231 Appendix 2 Page 8 systems Only severe reductions of the water table due to extensive drainage would be likely to have detectable adverse effects on flood plain vegetation Planting streambank vegetation acts to prevent soil erosion by reducing rain drop impacts alld increasing soil cohesion through root networks In the absence of natural overhanging vegetation, plantings can have, in some circumstancesr substantial effects on stream heat budgetsr and lesser effects on removing nutrients from ground water, and contributing leaf litter and organic debris to the stream bottom and water column Large litter inputs likely would enhance certain components of the benthic corrununity (shredders) , and provide a source of terrestrial insects for fish food If a fairly diverse vegetation corrununity is encouragedr populations of terrestrial wildlife and

AND CONSTRUCTION OF EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL UNDERTAKINGS B-241 APPENDIX 5 ENVlnONMEN'l'J\L CONSIDEf'J\TIONS FOR TilE PLJ\NNING AND CONSTRUCTION OF EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL UNDERTAKINGS Introduction The intent of these Guidelines is to assist M T R C A personnel in the planning and construction of erosion and sediment control undertakings 1 General Plannin9 Considerations (a) Method of carrying out the Undertaking Where possible, the method of carrying out the undertaking should be the least environmentally damaging The order of preference is as follows for river bank stabilization bank revegetation; rip-rap; gabion basket; retaining walls Other environmental considerations such as sensitive terrestrial vegetation or wildlife habitat near the stream may change the order of preference in specific cases Drop structures that inhibit the movement of fish should be avoided unless no alternative exists (b) The following streilms, or parts ofr have been designated as sensitive (types 1, 2 and 3, Section II - 3) (i) Duffin Creek and its tributaries (ii) Rouge 1\ Ver north of 2S Side ROod (iii) Humber Riverr west branch, north of Bolton (iv) other areas as may be determined through investigation In the above areas, work can be carried out only during the period . 1 June to I September to avoid interfering with fish migrations and spawning In these areas where some environmental damage is unavoidable the protection of the aquatic environment will take precedonce over the terrestrial environment, unless some particularly sensitive component of the terrestrial environment will be affected The opposite will occur in other areas B-242 Appendix 5 Page 2 (c) The natural stream configuration will be maintained where possible If river realignment is required then natural stream features should be incorporated 2 Working Area Delineation Defore construction activity commences (a) The boundaries of the working area should be delineated through the use of stakes or snow fencing, as appropriate (b) Snow fencing should be placed where the access route is ill defined and any area identified in the Environmental Study Report to be protected For trees and shrubs the snow fence should be installed no closer than the "drip-line" (c) The access route to the site should be clearly identified and all traffic to and from the site should be restricted to the designated access route 3 Construction h'orkyarcls Construction workyards should be kept away from sensitive areaSr be as small as possible and be restored after construction is completed Mature trees should not be removed or damaged to establish a workyard 4 Equipment Fueling <Jnel Maintenance (rl) E']uipment fllE'li/lg CIllO maintpnanr.e should be dO/le in such a manner that no fuels, oils, chemicals and other toxic chemicals can gain access to surface or ground waters (b) The cleaning of equipment in or near streams is prohibited (c) Exhaust emissions from equipment should be minimized through efficient machine maintenance 5 Dust anJ Particulate Control Dust control measures should be undertaken to prevent dust nuisances resulli~g from any phase of construction operation This may include the application of water, calcium chloride or oil Calcium chloride and oil should not be used near watercourses ~ B-243 Appendix 5 Page 3 6 Noise Control (a) All vehicles should be equipped with efficient muffling devices and should be operated in a fashion to minimize noise levels (b) Construction should be restricted to daytime hoursr or as outlined in local by-laws 7 Site and Access Preparation (a) If topsoil is stripped from access route and work site, it should be stockpiled so that it can be replaced following construction (b) Stockpiled material should be stored away from the watercourse and if necessary protected to prevent erosion (c) Materials excavated from watercourse bedr -hould be stockpiled or disposed of in a manner that will ensure ntj l1TI possible siltation to the watercourse (d) All cleared and grubbed material should b. lemoved from the site and disposed of at an appropriate disposal site 8 Protection and Maintenance of Terrestrial Environment (a) Minimize the removal or damage of vegetation (b) If tree branches need to be removed, remove flush and apply approved paint (c) Do not allow equipment to compact soil within drop line of trees or shrubs (d) When raising grade in the vicinity of vegetation to be protected, place clean gravel 25 to 50 mm in diameter a minimum radius of 450 mm and 50 mm above finished grade prior to the placement of fill Do not leave earth fill in contact with trunk (e) When transplanting vegetationr prune roots and foliage well in advance and dig earth ball a minimum of twelve times the calliper of the tree at breast height B-244 Appendix 5 Page 4 9 Protection and Maintenance of Aquatic Environment (a) The removal of riparian vegetation should be kept to a minimum and replaced with stock vegetation after constructionr as necessary (b) The use of construction equipment on the stroam bed should be kept to a minimum (c) Unless excessive damage will be incurred to the terrestrial environmentr construction shouldr where feasibler be carried out from the top of bank rather than the river bed (d) Temporary Ivatercourse Crossings (i) Time from construction to removal of crossings should be kept to a minimum (H) The removal of vegetation from the slope approaches to the crossing should be kept to a minimum (Hi) Culvert installation should be made on existing natural grade (iv) The fill material should consist of gravel only A thin layer of fine material may be used on the surface to facilitate vehicle movement (v) The crossing should not restrict the normal flows (vi) Culverts should not be installed during periods when fish migrations arc expected (vi i) When no longer required, the crossing should be removed and the site restored (e) Surface Draini1ge (i) Sediment traps consisting of material such as straw bales should be installed to collect sediment before it enters the watercourse (ii) Stoc~piled material should be protected from erosion (f) Dewatering When dewatering of part of the stream channel is required to I install revetmentsr coffer dams should be constructed of material that will not increase turbidity B-245 Appendix 5 Page 5 10 Site Restoration (a) After the completion of construction activities, disturbed areas should be restored with ground cover, and shrubs or trees, if appropriate. (b) Restoration should follow immediately after construction If weather does not permit full restoration, then interim sediment control works should be carried out until such time as full restoration is possible. (c) Stream crossings should be removed as soon as construction activities will permit In addition, access roads should be removed and the site restored at such times as their use is no longer required B-246 SCHEDULE liB" TO The Chairman and Members of the Executive Conunittee, MTRCA , Meeting #4/81r Wednesday, April 8 r 1981 FROM W A McLeanr Deputy General Manager RE REPORT #1/81 - RECOGNITION SUB-COMMITTEE THE SUB-COMMITTEE RECO~1MENDS THAT 1 The followin~ changes be made in the wording of the Recognition Policy A) HONOUH HOLL AWARDS 2 Nominations will not be received on behalf of, or awards granted to (i) persons serving as Members of the AuthoritYr Advisory Boards, Sub-Committees, or Foundation at the time of nomi.nation; A copy of the Recognition Policy is attached for your information. 2 The 1981 Honour Roll Awards tree planting ceremony be held on Friday, May 22r 1981, 2 00 pm, at the Authority's Head Office and that the following people receive Honour Roll Awards, consisting of a tree planting suitably marked with a plaque Russell G Birrell, M D Sidney Blair (deceased) Herb Crown (deceased) R Grant Henderson (deceased) George, Ca"~Gell and Bruce Snider and Family The I/onouraGJe Hobert Welch, Q C and that the staff makes arrangemenls similar to last year, including providing a spudc for those individuals who are receiving an award, personally or on behulf of someone elser which they may retain as mementos of the occasion Funds are available from "Tours and Special Days", 42-01-03 3 The Annunl Garden Party be held on FridaYr June 26, 1981, 12 30 p m r at Black Creek Pioneer Village and that the program be as follows 12 30 - 1 30 P m Garden Party Buffet 1 30 - 2 00 P m Presentation of Gold Service Recognition Award to J Sherman Scott and Lifetime Passes to M D Lipton, Q C r W R Herridge, Q C , Mrs R H Farr and P G Masterson 2 00 - 2 30 P m Pre-opening inspection of the Sawyer's House, incJuding a horse-drawn wagon ride Funds arc available from "Tours and Special Days", 42-01-03 4 Upon reviewjng a communication dated October 17, 1980, received from .

D-2('9 - 1 - LAKE ONTARIO WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT 1982 - 1986 INTRODUCTION The 1982 - 1986 Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Project is a propo~~l to implement portio~s of the Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program. The Program was established in 1980 as part of the Watershed Plan for the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority The Program established that multi-year Projects would be ~rcpared for the purpose of approval and funding of detailed implementation objectives Thi~ Project, therefore, outlines the status of planning and approvals and presents a schedule of activities to be undertaken at the various sites over the Project period 1982 - 1986. This Project is the mechanism by which the MTRCA requests the Minister's approval under Section 23 of The Conservation Authorities Act for some components of the proposed activities This document is also submitted to the Authority's member municipalities to solicit approval of the implementation objectives and commitment to the annual levies and multi-year funding requirements The Project serves as the supporting document for Ontario Municipal Board approval for multi-year capital expenditures B-270 - 2 - PURPOSE OF PROJ ECT The purpose of the Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Project is to pellnit lhe Metropolitan Toronto and Region ConservatlOn Authority to exercise its [1G,lerS ullder The Conservation Authorities Act, R S o. 1970, Chapter 78, as amended, to estJbLish and undertake, in the area over which it has jurisdiction, a program designed to C0~serve, restore, develop and manage the natural resources of the waterfront in accordance with The Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program of the Watershed Plan The period of the Project is five years, from 1982 - 1986, inclusive The goal of the Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program is "to create a handsome waterfront, balanced in its land uses, which wiLL compLement adjacent areas, taking cogniz~nce of existing residential development and making accessible, wherever possible, features which warrant public use." Approval of this Project includes provisions to enable the necessary studies and research required to prepare Master Plans and Environmental Assessment reports for proposed undertakings . B-271 - 3 - DESCRIPTION The Authority has been responsible for implementation of the Watcrfront Plan for Metropolitan Toronto and region since 1970. A Ten Year Plan and two Five Year Projects were successfully implemented ovcr the period to 1981 The accomplishments to date, involving eypenditures of approximately $45,000,000, include five new waterfront parks and acquisition of 540 hectares of wJtcrfront land Major small craft harbours and significant recreational open space arcas have becn created along the waterfront from Etobicoke to Ajax Shorcline management measures have been implemerlted in each sector of the waterfront and extensive environmental monitoring of various sites has been undertaken A detailed summary of progress is contained in the Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program of the Water&hed Plan SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION OBJECTIVES The implementation objectives related to planning, acquisition and develorment are presented for the Project period 1982 - 1986, and where appropriate, indications of objectives to be accomplished beyond that period are given. The lands proposed for acquisition are in accordance with the Master Plan for waterfront land acquisition as approved within the 1972 - 1976 Waterfront Project \ 0-272 - 4 - ETOBICOKr SrCTOR The first ten ye~rs of Authority development of the Etobicoke waterfront produced major new facilitie~ ~t Humber Ray and provided a new waterfront focal point for the Dorough The 1982 - 1986 Project prorD5e~ early completion of the Ilumber Bay Lomplex, as well as major new initiatives at Marie Curtis Park and Colonel S~muel Bois Smith f'ark MARIE CURTIS PARK - PLANNING STATUS The Master Plan for the Marie Curtis Park Waterfront Area was prepared in 1972, however, funding was not available for implementation until 1981 Due to the delay in implementa- tion and changing requirements for the Park, it was appropriate to undertnke a review and updating of the Master Plan in 1981 The new Master Pl~n Nill provide the framework for development and will be supplemented by site plans and COllstruction drawings as required - APPROVAL STATUS The earlier Master Plan was approved by all agencies by 1975, and although the details of the updated Master Plan are unclear at time of writing, it is not ~nticipated that major new uses requiring further Master Plan approvals will be proposed If, however, the program for the park changes significantly, the Authority will :u~mit the rrvi::d Master Plan to Etobicoke, Metro and the Province of Ontario for approval Technical approval of detailed construction plans will be required from the OorQugh of Etobicoke and the Ministry of Natural Resources in accordance with established procedures The Authority does not intend to proceed with the landfilling component of the original plan within the term of this Project and expects that total expenditures will be le5s than $1,000,000 The Marie Curtis Park proposals are therefore considered to be exempt from Environmental Assessment requirements and eligible for Section 23 approval by the Minister of N~tural Resources - LAND ACQUISITION STATUS The lands comprising the existing park are in the t~tle of the Authority It is proposed to add to the present land base by obtaining certain lands presently controlled by the Federal Government The lands in question contain an attractive woodlot on the Canadian Arsenals ground~ to the west of the existing park It is also proposed to secure additional lands for passive park purposes by means of lease with the Ministry of the Envirollment over certa~n lands associated with the Lakeview Pollution Control Centre - IMPLEMENTATION OBJECTIVES Completion of the Master Plan Review and any necessary additional approval? will be followed immediately by site development The footbridge over Etobicoke Creek was to be built in 1981 in accordance with long standing requests by the Borough of [tobicoke and Metropolitan Toronto. Further development of the Park is expected to include 0-<'73 - 5 - - additional w~shroom facilities - servicing improvements - landscaping - pathways - lighting - launching ramp improvements - parking and roadw~y improvements - PROPOSED TIMING As indicated previously, the further development of Marie Curtis Park began in 1981 and is expected to continue through the early years of the 1982 - 1986 Project with completion anticipated by 1984 0-274 - 6 - COLONEL SM1UEL BOIS SfUTH PARK - PLANNING STATUS A comprehensive Master Plan was prepared for this site in 1978 and still forms the framework for implementation Only detailed site plans and construction drawings remain to be produced for various aspects of the work such as landfilling and armouring, roads, servicing and landscaping Further detailed designs are also required for the boating facilities and swimming lake -APPROVAL STATUS . The Master Plan for Coloncl Samuel Oois Smith received extensive revicw during the Environmental Asscssmcnt Hearing in the spring of 1980 This process culminated with a recommendation from the Hearing Board in December 1980 to build the park The final decision on the Environmental Asscssment by the Minister of the Environment also supported the park's construction The Master Plan had previously been approved in principle, subject to Environmental Assessment considerations by Etobicoke, Metro and the Ministry of Natural ReSOurces Technical approvals of detailed construction plans will be rcquired for certain development components by the Borough of Etobicoke and thc Ministry ot Natural Resources in accordance with established procedures TheColonel Samuel Bois Smith component of the 1982 - 1986 Project is eligible for Section 23 approval by the Minister of Natural Resources - LAND ACQUISITION STATUS The project is to be built on lands presently controlled by various agcncies The landfi LL is to be constructed on lands which are presently in the title of the Provincial Crown Certain othcr lands to be developcd are under the control of Metropolitan Toronto, Humber College or the Ministry of Government Services Title to portions of thcse lands and suital>le mutually acceptable agreements for other port ions of the lands wi II be required. Titlc to Provincial Crown Lands will be requested. - IMPLEMENTATION OBJ ECTIVES The construction of the Samucl Oois Smith Park is proposed to be one of the mHjor componcnts of the 1982 - 1986 Project Landfilling and armouring should he substantially complctcd by the cnd of the Project and it is also anticipatpd that sul>sl~ntial prORrcss will bc made on facility construction by thc end of thc Projcct In particular, the servicing and road work would be virtuaLLy completc with dcvelopment of the hOilt inR faciL i tics, landscaping, artificial swimming facility and other amcnities to he includpcl in a subsequcnt Project - 7 - B-275 - PROPOSED TIMING Development timing for the Colonel Samuel 80is Smith Park is subject to numerous influC'nces, the most dominant of which is rate of supply of fill m~terial Curl'ent estimate~ pL~ce the length of the landrllling pcriod at 3 to 3 5 years The landfilling is planned to start in the spring of 1983 and, thereforc, would not be completed IIf1ti l nearing tht, cnr! of the 1982 - 1986 Projcct Construction of the access road and appropriate servicinR will be undertaken in 1982 in preparation for the start of landfill ing The entirc park should be complete by 1988 . 8-276 - 8 - HUMBER [lAY WATERFRONT AREA - PLANNING STATUS The Master Plan for this site has been in place since 1975 and development has proceoded rapidly in accordance with that Plan An amrndment to thc Master Plan may be required to deal with relocation of thc launching ramp facilities and development of additional land and parking facilities for Humber Bay E~st The Master Plan amendment would also deal with shoreline links to the ea~t and west of the Humbcr Bay Area as wcll as a footbridge over Mimico Crcek to connect thc open space areas An historical harbour to rccor:ni/e the significance of early Grcat Lakes sailing vessels may also be proposed 0_ part of the amendment The completion of dctailed planning by the Boating Federation and its member clubs is anticipated in 1982. Original Master Plan ~pprovals were obtained over the period 1972 to 197~ for various components of thc Area developments. If a Master Plan amcndment is proposed, then approvals would be required by Etobicokc, Metropolitan Toronto and the Ministry of Natural Rcsourccs Technical approvals by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Borough of Etobicoke will be required for various componEnts of the dcvelopments proposed by the Authority and the boating clubs It is anticipated that portions of the works proposed by the Master Plan amendment which are subject to Environmcntal Assessment Act considerations will involve expenditures of less than $1,000,000 and therefore are expected to be exempt under the current regulations The works proposed within this Project, therefore, qualify for "pprnv,,' hy the Ministpr of Natura' Resources under Section 23 of The Conservation Authurltles Act. - LAND ACQUISITION STATUS Certain lands along Lake Shore Boulevard were purchased in the early stages of planning and development to provide a base for landfilling Transfer of title to the Authority of Provincial Crown lands containing the landfilled areas is expected in the near future Complction of the shoreline links to the cast and west of Humber Bay will requirc acquisition of some private lands, as well as Provincial Crown lands Public access easements will be obtained where necessary to facilitate completion of the shoreline links to other public waterfront parks - I MPL Ef1EN T A TI ON OBJ ECT IVES It is proposed to complete all outstanding details of thc original approved Master Plan, as well as the major components of the 1981 Master Plan Amendment within the 1982 - 1986 Project The planning and development program may also include the following components pending a final dccision on the Master Plan Amendment referred to abovc - construction of additional launching ramps, day mooring docks _ construction of parking areas, footbridge - landscaping - navigation aids - Mimico Creek channelization - additional land basc at Humber Bay East _ shoreline links to the east and wcst - Ilarbour- Police facilitics _h-:rfnr;,..:lI1 h;-trhnllr in conjunction with Nancy Griffon Fund B- ". 77 - 9 - - PROPOSED TIMING The completion of Authority involvement in the existing Humber Bay Area is proposed to be an early accomplishment of thc 1982 - 1986 Project The cstablishment of the shoreline links to the east and wcst will, however, take several years and m~y rcquire a time frame beyonrJ 1986 to complete Development by the boating clubs of their leased lands wi LL also continue beyond the proposed Project; however, major progress is required by 1984 undcr the terms of the leases. The final decision on the Master Plan amendment will affect the timing of completion for the park as a wholc For example, the establishment of the shoreline links to the east _and west will takc several years and may require a time frame beyond 1986 to complete. The launching ramps and day mooring docks could be completed by 1983, but this work can only proceed pending a final decision on the configuration of Mimico Creek Construction , of the footbridge and extension of Humber Bay East is also affected by consideration of the sediment accumulation in Mimico Creek. The dcvclopment by the boating clubs of their leased lands will continue beyond the term of this Project, however, major progress is required by 1984 under the terms of thc leases B-278 - 10 - CITY OF TORONTO SECTOR Thc first ten years of Authority dcvelopment of thc portion of the City of Turonto waterfront under Authority jurisdiction produced major new facilitic:: at Ashl>ridcle's BDY, as well as major planning initiativcs for Aquatic Park and thc W~stcrn nlDchps It is proposed that implementation of the init ial staues of ful'thcr dcvelopmcnt of thcse key waterfront sites will be major components of the 1982 - 1986 Project WESTERN BEACIll'S - PLANNING STATUS . The Authority prepared a Master Plan for this arca in 1975; however, implementation was delayed due to insufficient funding and failure to reach agreement with the City of ~ Toronto on certain Mastcr Plan details and land title transfer Site plans were developed in 1979 in preparation for dctailed design and implementation ..J APPROVAL STATUS The Master Plan has bcen approvcd at all levels The City of Toronto has given approval in principle, with the issues concerning control of the leases with the Boulevard Club and Toronto Sailing and Canoe Club, ~s well as development of the beach between thest: Clubs, to be resolvcd Implementation of the proposed schedule of impr6vements should qualify for exemption under The Environmcntal Assessment Act because the developmer,t proposcd within this Project involves expenditures less than $1,000,000 - LAND ACQUISITION STATUS Implcmentation of the Authority's plan involves lands prescntly owned by Metrorolitan Toronto, the City of Toronto and the Toronto Harbour Commissioners Official reqllcsts for transfer of these lands has been made and agreemcnt has been rcached with Metropolitan Toronto Transfer of City of Toronto lands is pending resolution of the Master Plan issues identified above - IMPLEMENTATION OOJECTIVES The major planning and developmcnt objectives of the 1982 - 1986 Project at thc Western Beaches include the following - resolution of remaining Mastcr Plan issues - transfer of title of required lands to MTRCA - construction of thc following hydraulic improvements at mouth of Humber River dredging and shoreline improvemcnts pathways and landscaping B-279 - 11 - day mooring and seasonal mooring The above list represents the first stage of proposed improvemcnts The Hi:lter'sh(.d Pl.iln identifies other improvements that could be made in subsequent Projects - PROPOSED TIM I NG The timing of developmcnt depcnds primarily on resolution of the Master Plan issues. The first stage of the Authority's development program could be undertaken starting in 1982 if all aprrovals were obtaincd Development would continue throuC)huut the period of this Project to be followcd by the second stage of improvements in the subsequent Project. 0-280 - 12 - AQUATIC PARK - PLANNING STATUS The Authority pr~parcd a conceptual Master Plan for this area in 1975 Numerou~ changes, both natural and man-made, have led to the requirement for a Master Pl;:;n review <lnd update as an early component of the 1982 - 1986 Projcct. A significant birrl colony has become established on portions of Aquatic Park, while a major addition to the availablc land base is underway as part of the dredged material disposal arca The sitc continues to offer great potcntial as a major waterfront recreational facility worthy of careful planning and developmcnt. - APPROVAL STATUS The Authority has bcen designated as the agcnt for the Province in the planninn and implementation of Aquatic Park. The Authority intcnds to fulfill that mandate as soon as certain issues with respect to access, exterior armouring and land titlc have been resolved While the existing Master Plan was considered and approved in principle to varying degrees by all levels of government, the ongoing site development will necessitate an updated Master Plan and subsequent extensive approval proccss The plans for Aquatic Park may require approval under The Environmental Asscssmcnt Act in accordance with the existing Act and regulations. This site is, therefore, not eligible for Section 23 approval at this time, with the exception of approval to proceerl with thp ~Ians and studies r~quired for Mastcr Plan prcp~ration A furt hpr request tor Sectlon ~3 approval and additional funding for implementation will be made upon completion of the necessary plans and Assessment, if required. , - LAND ACQUISITION STATUS The lands involved are comprised of filled areas created by the Toronto Harbour Commissioners on Provincial Crown lands under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Natural Resources. Also required for the proposed park are THC and City of Toronto lands associated with regional road access along Leslie Street to the base of Aquatic Park - IMPLEMENTATION OBJECTIVES The major objectives of the 1982 - 1986 Project with respect to Aquatic Park arc - resolution of the issues of land title, final armouring, and access to allow the Authority to proceed to plan the future uses of the site - review and update of the Master Plan - first stage of site development which is assumed to include sE'rvicing washrooms and support facilitics picnic areas . wildlife viewing areas . boat mooring and dry sailing - subject to preparation of an approved Master Plan, sccuring of additional funding and meeting th(' re<1uircment~ of The EnvironlO"n'<ll Ass('~ ;f,'('nt Acl I1-2Rl - 13 - PROPOSED T IrlI NG Due to the nature of the site and the number of agencies, groups and individuals involved, it is impossible to accurately prE'dict the timing of planning and dcvelopr.H:r,t of this site However, the Authority will cndeavour to have a revisE'd Master Plan prepar0d in 1982 Environmental Asscssment and other approval requirements are anticipatcd to take at least a year. It is, therefore, conceivable that the first stages of developmp~t could begin in 1983 or 1984 B-282 - 14 - ASH8RIDGES BAY - PLANNING STATUS The Master Plan for Ashbridges 8ay Waterfront Area has been in place since 1972. The development of the Area was substantially complete by 1977 when the park was opened The Master Plan for thc North Ashbridges 3ay Boating Community was prepared in 1979, which provided for a revitalization of the boating organizations in the north cnd of Coatsworth Cut No new planning initiatives are anticipated for this area, although - minor design activities with respect to landscape improvements in the entrance area and adjacent to the Boating Community will be required Detailcd design and construction drawings for a new changehouse to serve Woodbine Beach may be required. , - APPROVAL STATUS As noted above, the existing Master Plan was approved by all levels of govcrnment The scope of additional proposed works is in keeping with the existing Master Plan and satisfies the cost criteria for excmption under The Environmcntal Assessment Act regulations The proposed works are, therefore, eligible for Section 23 appl"oval by the Ministry of Natural Resources - LAND ACQUISITION STATUS All lands required for the Ashbridges Bay WaterfrOnt Area are now in the title nf th~ Aulliul i ly Lands we.t"' ubtained from Metropolitan foronto, Toronto Harbour Commissioners and the City of Toronto. - IMPLEMENTATION OBJ ECTIVES The Authority proposeS relatively minor works at the Ashbridges Bay Waterfront ^rea in the 1982 - 1986 Project, to consist of - landscape improvements in the vicinity of the entrance and the North Ashbridges Bay Boating Community - ncw beach house to servc Woodbine Beach - PROPOSED TIMING The landscaping improvements will be implemented in the first two years of the Project, while the replacement of the beach house will procecd when deemed appropriate in conjunction with the City of Toronto Parks Department - 15 - B-283 SCARBOROUGH SECTOR The first ten years of Authority dcvclopm~nt of the shorelinc in the Borough of Scarborough resultcd in the devclopment of major new recreational faciliti('~ at Bluffers Park, as well as thc acquisition of significant waterfront open space areas including the Guild Inn and East Point Park The 1982 - 1936 Waterfront Project proposes additions to the Bluffers Park c->mplex, as well as major new initiatives at East Point Park BLUFFERS WEST - PLANNING STATUS A conccptual plan has been prepared for this area as part of earlier waterfront ~ork but will be updated to Master Plan status as a component of the 1982 - 1986 Project. A portion of the area is well wood cd and abuts the lovely grounds of Rosetta McClain Gardens This natural setting should lead to development of a plan to provide additional regional access to the shoreline at this point while complementing the existing local park uses The other component of the Arca is comprised of portions of the grounds of the Scarborough Filtration Plant, now operated as a pumping station by Metropolitan \ ~ Toronto : \ - APPROVAL STATUS The Master Plan to be prepared will require approval of Scarborough, Metro and the Ministry of Natural Resources The works proposed at this site will involve expenditures of less than $1,000,000 and are anticipated to be exempt from Environmental Assessment Act approval and eligible for approval by the Minister of Natural Resources under Section 23 of The Conservation Authorities Act. - LAND ACQUISITION STATUS Most of the lands associated with thc proposed park are already in the title of the Authority, including the lands containing Rosetta McClain Gardens The Filtration Plant lands are presently owned by Metropolitan Toronto and portions of these lands are proposed for transfer to the Authority - IMPLEMENTATION OBJECTIVES The major objectives of the 1982 - 1986 Waterfront Project for the Bluffers West Area are as fo Ll ows - consolidation of thc land base, including the Filtration Plant lands - preparation of a Mastcr Plan for the Area to provide for local and regional use and cnhance existing Rosetta McClain Gardcns - anticipatcd devclopmcnt includes . access and parking washroom and servicing landscaping pathways and lookouts B-284 - 16 - - PROPOSED TIMING The developmcnt of Bluff('rs West is considered to be a lower priority th,jn thc otlH'r sites in Scarborough. It is proposcd that the work would not be undcl't lkcn until 1985 or 1986, assuming that development is able to procced at other hi(Jiler priorit>, sites - 17 - n-2R5 BLUFFERS - PLANNING STATUS . The Bluffers Park Master Plan has been in place since 1972 with an Amendment to thc Plan being made in 1975 The Amendment dealt with the size and configuration of the ~econd phase of the site, which includes the small craft harbour A further Amendment is proposed to provide for a marina to be developed along the westcrn side of the harbour. The Amendment will propose only minor land configuration alterations but is required to solidify the marina use and increased harbour capacity It is anticipated that detailcd planning of the Boating Federation area will continue for several years, although substantial progress is expected in 1981 . - APPROVAL STATUS The Master Plan as amended in 1975 was approved by all levels of government The proposed additional Amendment will also require approval by Scarborough, Metropolitan Toronto and the Ministry of Natural Resources. The site has been undcr development since 1970 and, therefore, is exempt from The Environmental Assessment Act approval process. The proposed implementation objectives are, therefore, eligible for Section 23 approval by the Minister of Natural Resources - LAND ACQUISITION STATUS The Authority acquired a land base from the Borough of Scarborough as a base of operations for the landfilling program In addition, privately owned lands werc purchased by the Authority both east and west of Brimley Road The lands occupied by the landfilled areas are presently Provincial Crown lands but requests for transfer to the Authority have been in place for several years. Title to lands in the second phase of the development is to be split between the Authority and thc Federal Crown as a consequence of Federal assistance in armouring the breakwater The Federal Crown intends to hold title to the protectcd water areas of the harbour as well as the armoured structures constructed by the Federal government Lands occupied by the boating clubs and the marina operator will be subject to three-party leases including Metropolitan Toronto and the Authority The lands to be developed on top of the bluffs to the west of Brimley Road are alrcady in the title of the Authority - IMPLEMENTATION OBJECTIVES The major implementation objectives of the 1982 - 1986 Project at the Bluffers Waterfront Area are as follows - consolidation of title to the land base - completion of landscaping, pathways, interior shorelines, lighting, navigation aids, beach house, servicing, roads and parking areas and oth~r surface developmcnt associated with thc second phas~ of the development B-286 - 18 - - development of the marina area, primarily by thc privat~ sector - development of the toplands west of Brimley Road - continu~d coordination of development by the boating clubs - PROPOSED TIMING The ongoing development of the Bluffers Waterfront Area is anticipated to spall the full period of this Project Although the complction of several components of the second phase of the park will be complete by 1982, the development of tIle marina, the boating club areas and the beach hou5c will not be completed until 1985 or 1986 The development of the topland areas is to be undertaken in 1982 and complcted in 1983. r - 19 - 0-287 GUILD INN - PLANNING STATUS The Guild Inn and surrounding lands were purch~sed by the Authority in 1978, howpvcr, a Master Plan has not been produced for the area pending dcfinition of ti,e future usc of the Inn itself The Municip~lity of Metropolitan Toronto has maior responsibility for developing plans for future use of the buildings In this regard, m~rket studies and other analyses were initiatcd in 1980 with the intcnt of determining ~n appropriate course"of action to be foLlowcd in 1982,at the expiry of the operatiunal lease held by the former owner The Authority will producc a Master Plan for the shoreline and open space areas along the top of the bluff when future use of the Inn itself has been determined . - APPROVAL STATUS No approved Master Plan for the site is presently available, however, the Authority will prepare a Master Plan as noted above for approval by Scarborough, Metropolitan Toronto and the Ministry of Natural Resources The works proposed by this Project will involve expenditures of less than $1,000,000 and are anticipated to be eligible for exemption under The Environmental Assessment Act and therefore qualify for approval by the Minister of Natural Resourccs under Section 23 of The Conservation Authorities Act. - LAND ACQUISITION STATUS All lands required for development of the area are in the title of the Authority Pending resolution of the future use and operatiop of thE Inn, it may be necessary to execute a three-party lease involving the Authority, Metropolitan Toronto and the Inn operator. Public opcn space links along the shoreline to other park areas, such as South Marine Drive and East Point Park, may be possible as a result of shoreline acquisition for construction of protective works. - IMPLEMENTATION OBJ ECTIVES The major objectives proposed for the Guild Inn Area as part of the 1982 - 1986 Project are as follows ~ - finalization of a Master Plan for the entire area - development of the open space areas along the shoreline and the top of the bluffs for passive uses such as picnicking - completion of connecting links to the west and possibly to the cast resulting in part from shoreline management works - PROPOSED TIMING The present leasc arrangcments with the former owner expire in 1982 and therefore it is imperative that a resolution of the future use of thc Inn itself be acllicvcd by that time An appropriatc timing allowancc for transition of opcrational re<;l'onsihility must also be considrred The Mastcr Plan for thp area should be in place by 1Y32 TIH' potential for vehicular access to thp shoreline will be utilized cnmrnrllcio'l in 19H1 for construction of shnrplinf' plotertiv(> ~Iork~ hoth e.lst <Inn IJ(><;t 0f thr r;"ilrl J 1,11 " r P 1 &-288 - 20 - Upon completion of that work the improvements proposed for the shorclin~ to su~port passive use will procped These imrrovements are anticipnted to bpgin by 1984 with completion by 1986 - 21 - 13-2fl9 EAST POINT PARK - PLANNING STATUS The Mastcr Plan for the ~ast Point Park Watcrfront Aren was prepared in 1972 and was subsequently approved at all appropriate levels The implementation of the plan was delayed significantly due to funding restrictions and, as a result, a MJster Plan Revicw and site plan preparation was undertaken in 1979 to update and refine the proposals Although minor changes in the proposed program resulted from the Review, the primary accomplishment of the work was the preparation of detailed site plans for implementation The only remaining step in the planning of thc Area is preparation of co~~truction drawings for some components of the proposed work The Borough of Scarborough is actively involved in the planning process for this Area A plan for park access is to be finalized by the Borough and a road is to bc constructed by the Borough along an existing right~of-way In addition, the plan provides for a sports field complex in the westerly end of the park, which is to be developed by Scarborough - APPROVAL STATUS The Master Plan has been approved by Scarborough, Metropolitan Toronto and the Ministry of Natural Resources. The review of the Master Plan in 1979 did not result in significant changes and, therefore, no further Master Plan approvals are required Technical approval by Scarborough and the Ministry of Natural Resources will be required for various aspects of the work prior to implementation Environmental Assessment consideration of the proposals for this site will be in two stages. It is proposed that development of the main land portion of the park will proceed in the first stage and that the construction of the small craft harbour portion will proceed as a second stage of construction after 1986. Development of the existing land base proposed within this Project is anticipated to involve expenditures less than $1,000,000 and therefore is anticipated to be exempt from approval under The Environmental Assessment Act. The small craft harbour component is subject to The Environmental Assessment Act under the present regulation It is, therefore, anticipated that the first stage of development of the East Point Park Waterfront Area during the period 1982 to 1986 will be exempt from The Environmental Assessment Act Similarly, the works proposed under this Project for the East Point Park area are eligible for approval by the Minister of Natural Resources under Section 23 of The Conservation Authorities Act - LAND ACQUISITION STATUS Thc lands required for thc first stage of the park development are in the title of the Conservation Authority or Metropolitan Toronto Implementation of the smClLL craft harbour in the second stage of the work will involvc obtaining a water lot from the Provincial Crown B-290 - 22 - Portions of the lands to the cast arId west of the park which are owned by Metropolitan Toronto will also bc available for passive use The lands referred to arc blJfff'r lands around the Easterly Filtration Plant site and the Highland Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. Shoreline links to the Scarborough park area at Grey Abbey Trail and to thc Metropolitan Toronto park system in Highland Creek can also be achieved without further acquisition. - IMPLEMENTATION OBJECTIVES The major objectives of the 1982 - 1986 Project for the East Point Park Waterfront Area include - road access and parking areas - landscaping - servicing and washrooms - trout pond and model boat pond - picnic area - sensitive vegetation area protection and interpretation - pathways and lookouts - construction of sports fields by Scarborough - PROPOSED TI MI NG Continuation of the development WhlCh commenced at East Point Park in 1981 h~s a nlgh priority over the period of this Project. It is anticipated that the development of the existing land base comprising Stage I of the park will proceed throughout the period of the Project with completion anticipated within the term of a subsequent Project. B-291 - 23 - PICKERING/AJAX SECTOR The first ten years of Authority waterfront development in this sector conccntrated on acquisition of substantial sections of the shoreline The potential for future use . of shoreline areas for recreational purposes has been dramatically improved as a result of Authority initiatives The Petticoat Creek Conservation Area, which was completed in 1975, was the first in a series of parks which can be developed on the land base that has been secured or is identified for acquisition by the Authority The 1982 - 1986 Project proposes a continuation of acquisition in key remaining areas whilc also providing for development of lands previously acquired along the waterfront in the Town of Ajax PETTICOAT CREEK CONSERVATION AREA - PLANNING STATUS The Master Plan for this Area has been in place since 1972. The major part of development has been completed, with only the South Rosebank area and the Fairport Beach area remaining The only outstanding planning activities relate to site plans and design drawings for the remaining development, which will not be undertaken until the acquisition of private lands has been completed - APPROVAl STATUS The required Master Plan approvals have been obtained The proposed activities over the period of this Project involve completion of relatively minor components of a major undertaking which has been in progress since 1972 It is, therefore, anticipated that approval under The Environmental Assessment Act will not be required The implementation objectivcs are, therefore, eligible for Ministry of Natural Resources approval under Section 23 of The Conservation Authorities Act. - LAND ACQUISITION STATUS The Authority holds title to the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area lands, as well as various parcels in thc South Rosebank area and the Fairport Beach area The majority of the remainder of the land is in private ownership consisting primarily of single family residential lots Certain municipally owned lands principally involving road allowances must also be acquired to facilitate completion of the proposed park developments - IMPLEMENTATION OBJECTIVES The 1982 - 1986 Project proposcs to continue the acquisition of lands in the South Rosebank area and the Fairport Beach area as thc lands become available ~nd within the limitations of availablc funding B-292 - 24 - - PROPOSED TIMING The acquisition of land is pxpected to continue throughout the period of the Project subject to the availability of funding and to properties being offered for purchd~e - \ - 25 - Tl-2q) FRENCHMAN'S BAY - PLANNING STATUS The Aut hori ty does not have an approved Master Plan for the enti rc Frcnchman's BoW Mea due, in part, to the uncertainties with respect to acquisition of the Bay and thc development proceeding around the Bay. The Town of rickering produced a draft secondary plun in 1980 which will serve as a guide for the Authority's Master Plon The preparation of a Ma~ter Plan for the Frenchman's Buy Waterfront Area is an important objective of the 1982 - 1986 Project - APPROVAL STATUS The Master Plan to be prepared as part of this Project will require upproval by the Town of Pickering and the Ministry of Natural Resources The Master Plan may also require approval under The Environmental Assessment Act The acquisition proposals are exempt from The Environmental Assessment Act and, therefore, are eligible for approval by the Minister of Natural Resources - LAND ACQUISITION STATUS The Authority has acquired various parcels around the Bay The Bay itself is privately owned and, while public ownership is a long term objective, the timing of acquisition is dependent upon numerous factors beyond Authority control. - IMPLEMENTATION OBJECTIVES It is proposed that acquisition in the vicinity of Frenchman's Bay continue throughout the 1982 - 1986 Project with priority being given to the southwest corner of the Bay as well as the spits In addition, it is proposed that negotiations to acquire the entire Bay be continued and that, at such time as suitable purchase arrangements have been finalized, the Authority will request funding additional to this Project. A Master Plan for the Frenchman's Bay Waterfront Area is also proposed as an objective to be accomplished during the Project period. - PROPOSED TIMING Acquisition of parcels along the spits and in the vicinity of the southwest corner of the Bay will continue throughout the term of the Project as properties become available and within the limitations of available funding As noted previously, the timing of potential acquisition of the entire Bay is indefinite The Master Planning process is anticipated to occur in 1984 B-294 - 26 - AJAX WATERrRONT AREA - PLANNING STATUS The Authority has not preparcd a detailed Master Plan for this area, howevr~r, a conceptual plan identifying thc intended passive use of the area is available. It is proposed that a detailed Master Plan will be prepared as a component of the 1982 - 1986 Project - APPROVAL STATUS The Town of Ajax has approved thc conccptual plan. The Master Plan to be prepared ~ill require approval by the Town of Ajax and the Ministry of Natural ResourLes Technical approvals of various detailed development plans will also be required in accordance with existing regulations The proposed Master Plan is anticipated to have a total cost of less than $1,000,000, and therefore the proposals are anticipated to be exempt from thc provisions of The Environmental Assessment Act. The proposed work is therefore eligible for approval by the Minister of Natural Resources - LAND ACQUISITION STATUS The majority of land requircd for development of the Ajax Waterfront is in the title of the Authorit), Nith the exception of certain privately owned parcels ill lhe Pickering Beach area Some arcas have been turned over to the Town of Ajax for illterim management until such time as the Authority receives all necessary lpprovals and funding for additional development - IMPLEMENTATION OBJ ECTIVES The major objectives of the 1982 - 1986 Project for the Ajax Waterfront Arca include the following - prcparation and approval of a detailed Master Plan - landscaping improvements - access and parking - pathways and lookouts - 27 - B-295 FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT The Authority plans to undertake fisheries cnhanccment work as part of thc 1982 - 1986 Project The Bluffers Park Arca provides opportunities for habitat enhancement around the landfill. The embaymcnts provide good locations to encourage nearshore species while artificial reefs will be constructed in deeper waters around the perimeter of the landfill. Artificial shoals may alsu prove beneficial around the mouth of the Rouge River The long range potential for fisheries enhancement around Aquatic Park and Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Park is extremely good, however, the efforts of this Project will be concen- trated at Bluffers Park, with the Rouge mouth being thc second priority The works proposed within this Project involve expenditures of less than $1,000,000 and are therefore excmpt from Environmental Assessment Act approval requirements until December 31, 1985 The proposed works will be complete by that time and therefore are eligible for approval by the Minister of Natural Resources. . t B-2% - 28 - ENVIRONMENIAL MONITOR J NG The environmental monitorinQ prngr~m, ;IS pal't of the Aulhority',; on'1"iI1'J comrnitmcllt to thc preservation and enhancement of the IhltUl'al Qualit ies of the llatlrfrollt, will include - monitoring flew sites prior to commcnCCIllf'nt of constructiun to establish background conditions - monitoring nrojccts undcr construction or recently complet0d to identify and minimize any short term -impacts - monitoring of any potential long term impolcts relating particularly to sedimentation and its effects on the biological community This information will be particularly useful in the fisheries f'lIh;mcement and shorclinc managcment aspects of the Authority's work The Authority's waterfront cnvironmental monitoring program has been in pl~ce sinLc 1975 and has proven to be a valuablc component of the watcrfront work As the rer-iotl of record and amount of data increases, the value of the program in identifying long term trends becomes morc apparent B-29.' - 29 - COSTS AND FINANCING COSTS Implementation of the 1982 - 1986 Waterfront Developmcnt Projcct is estimated to require expenditures of $3,200,000 annually for a total cost of $16,000,000 over the term of the Project The estimates are based on 1981 costs and no allowance has been made for i nflat i on The costs associated with this Projcct include administration, land acqui sit ion, legal and survey fces, design fees, development costs, demolition and property restoration, interest and pre-development property mainten~nce FINANCING It is proposcd that the method of financing will be idcntical to that used for previous Authority waterfront work The Province of Ontario is requested to provide a grant of SOX of the cost of the work with the remaining SOX municipal share proposed to be raised as follows 95X levied from the waterfront municipalities of Metropolitan Toronto and thp Rpoion of Dllrh"'m on the hi'l<;i<; of p.quali7ed asse<;<;rnf"'nt 5Z levied from the non-watcrfront municipalities of Pcel and York Rcgions and the Townships of Mono and Adjala on the basis of cqualized assessment Annual financing is therefore proposed to involve the following amounts Province of Ontario $1,600,000 Authority Member Municipalities Metropolitan Toronto $1,483,909 Region of Durham 36,091 Region of York 38,543 Region of Peel 41,332 Adjala Township 72 Mono Township 53 Total Annual Levy 1982 - 1986 $1,600,000 TOTAL $3,200,000 B-298 - 30 - APPROVAI,S --- (1) 1\UTIIORITY APPROVAl.

1983 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 cogni~ant of the natural attributes of the lakefront setting " This Project will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act The proposed works are e .empt from the provisions of the Act until December 31, 1983 During the term of this Project a Class Environmental Assessment for Shoreline Management will be submitted for approval by the Ministry of the Environment addressing works to be undertaken in 1984 and beyond - 1 - B-302 - 7. - BACKGROUND The Authority has been responsible for implcmentat ion of the \'Iaterfront P] an for the Metropolitan Toronto region since 1970 Shoreline management measures were a component of that responsibility and were addressed i.n the Ten Year Plan and the two Five Year Projects which have been implemented since 1970 Shoreline management works were undertaken in each municip.Jlity along the waterfront involving total exp0nditures of approximately $2,200,000 The importance of shoreline management measures has steadily increased as residential areas in particular are becoming increasingly threatened by shore- linc erosion The Authority decided in 1980 to prepare a separate program for Shoreline Management within the Watershed Plan in an effort to raise the 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 bccn employed to provide for maximum feasihle 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 economic;:;l Lo acquire endangered properties and allow natural erosion ?rocesscs to proceed POLICIES The pOlicies and operational criteria of the Authority governing shoreline works are enunciated in detail in the Shoreline Management Program of the Watershed Plan -

Jones, Secretary-Treasurer (FSC- -Schedule ' A ' ) RE 1978 and 1979 Audit of Expenditure Reports by the Ministry of Natural Resources' Auditors As part of the Ministry of Natural Resources regular program, an audit was conducted on the 1978 and 1979 expenditure reports submitted by this Authority for grant The audit took place between June 9 and August 8, 1980 The audit was headed by Mr P I Camacho of the Ministry's Southern Audit Section From the outset, it was obvious that this audit was to be far more in depth than previous audits by the Ministry Mr D A Dooling, Audit Manager, and Mr P I Camacho of the Ministry's staff attended at the Authority's offices on August 28, 1980, and a draft of the reconunended adjustments was discussed in detail with Messrs Higgs, Jones and Finch of the Authority's staff. The Audit Report was received in the Authority's offices during the week of September 15, 1980. For your information, appended herewith, is an extract from the Report marked Appendix IIAII From this extract you will note there were 62 reconunended adjustments representing an overpayment of grant in the amount of $418,586 76 The Audit Reoort was discussed in some considerable detail by Authority staff at a number of meetings and the following was included in a lengthy report prepared by Mr Higgs, directed to the Finance Sub-Conunittee at a meeting held September 25 and continuing September 26, 1980 , "MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES AUDIT'OF 1978 & 1979 EXPENDITUR:.~ -REPORTS The Authority has been subject to an intensive audit of 1978 and 1979 expenditures by the Ministry of Natural Resources The staff is preparing a complete report on this matter The Authority will be required to negotiate the repayment of some Provincial grants paid in 1978 and 1979, and the reasons for this are -poor accounting practices; -major changes in interpretation of Provincial policy " Following the aforesaid Finance Conunittee me~ting, Authority staff prepared a reply to the Audit Report and forwardeu same to Mr. D A Dooling under date of October 16, 1980, attached hereto as Appendix "B" On November 4, 1980, Messrs Hunter and White of the Ministry of Natural Resources Central Region staff met with Hessrs Higgs, Jones .. and Torkoff of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority staff and the entire 62 adjustments were discussed in some depth \ve were unable to arrange a further meeting until March 24, 1981, at which time Messrs Hunter and White of the Hinistry's Central Region Office met with Dr J K Reynolds and Mr S Scott along with Messrs Jones, Finch and Torkoff and the adjustments were again discussed in d~pth It was agreed that Ministry of Natural Resources staff would review the various adjustments requested by the Authority's staff and would provide the Authority with revised recommendations This report was received on April 27, 1981 and the adjustments reconunended by Ministry staff represents an overpayment in gra~t by the Ministry of $355,186 83 as follows l. Adjustment #41 in the amount of $200,602 10 represents amounts overclaimed on Water and Related Land Management programs for 1979 Funds for repayment are on hand and do not affect the Authority's funding At our meeting with Ministry staff on November 4, 1980, we offered to forward a cheque forthwith, however, we were requested to withhold same until the entire audit had been settled . - 2 - B-370 (FSC-4) Adjustments affecting Authority funding in the amount of $154,~84 73 are as follows l. Items on which grants were claimed but were not eligible amount to $11,648 45 2. Items on which the Authority has been receiving grants since its inception, i e telephones located in Superintendents' residences, workshops, Black Creek, amount to $15,020 36. 3 Rent income not previously shared with the Province amounted to $94,936 70 4. Weed and grass cutting - waterfront lots - ineligible for grant amount to $5,958 75 5 Pump for Petticoat Creek C A pool - ineligible for grant amounted to $1,587 51 6 Hydro casements revenue - not previously shared amount to $52,176 59 7 Adjustments in favour of the Authority amount to $26,743 63. Negotiations with Ministry staff resulted in a reduction of repayment in the amount of $63,399 93 In any post-audit system where policy statements are subject to interpretation, it is virtually impossible to eliminate the necessity for making adjustment However, accounting controls have been implemented, where possible, to reduce the possibility of error The 1980 audit of the Authority claims will undoubtedly produce sub- stantial adjustments The adjustment for rent income alone will be approximately $65,000 00 Most, if not all, of the telephone adjustments were eliminated in 1980 and are completely eliminated in 1981 It is not possible, at this time, to accurately forecast the amount which the Authority must repay to the Province for 1980 The Authority has been requested to repay to the Province an amount of $355,186 83. As previously stated, the repayment of $200,602 10 does not have any effect on the Authority's funding However, the repayment of the remainder i ~ $154,384 73 has a serious effect on funding and creates a deficit which when added to the 1980 deficit of $53,078 00 totals $207,662 73 exclusive of further added adjustments for 1980 and 1981 deficits, if any There appear to be only two ways the Authority may be able to fund any deficit incurred up to and including December 31, 1981, i e A. Levy in the 1982 Budget an amount sufficient to cover the deficit (Provincial grants are not available for deficit financing) - B. Seek authorization from member Municipalities to use levy monies already on hand (this seems to be the logical course of action to take) RECOMMENDATION IT IS RECOMMEND THAT the staff report dealing with the 1978-79 audit of Expenditure Reports by the Ministry of Natural Resources' auditors be received; and that THE Finance Sub-Committee recommend to the Executive Committee that a cheque in the amount of $355,186 83 be forwarded to the Province of Ontario forthwith as full settlement of the adjustments in connection with the 1978-79 audit; and further THAT no action be taken on financing the deficit created by the adjustments in the amount of $154,584 73 and the 1980 operating deficit of $53,078 00, until such time as the 1980 audit has been completed by the Ministry of Natural Resources' auditors WEJ/mrd/j 1981.05 07 B-371 (FSC-5-~rrli.x Ministry of flatural Resources 'A') Intenlal I\\Hlit Servicps nr,~nch ^"DIT OF' 1978 and ]')79 I XI'f:NilITIIIW n;rClIlTS 'lllE METHOPOT, [Tl\N 'J'OHON'J'O /\ND Hi' ( TON .

B-397 APPENDIX 1 THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY ~ PROJECT FOR CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS - MAIN HUMBER RIVER VILLAGE OF BOLTON, TOWN OF CALEDON MAY, 1981 B-398 CONTENTS OF BRIEF PURPOSE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION PROPERTY ACQUISITION COSTS AND FINANCING APPROVALS B-399 - 1 - 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 un1ertake 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 Through this project, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will implement channel improvements on the Main Humber River through the Village of Bolton Completion of this work will reduce the risk of flood hazard to the community. This project will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act - 2 B-400 - LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The work proposed in connection with this project involves the Main Humber River in the Village of Bolton as shown on Figure I The majority of the existing development in the Village is situated on the floodplain of the river at the bottom of a deep well-defined valley. In many areas including the downtown business section, existing grade is only about 2 metres above the normal water level of the river In the recent updating of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's Watershed Plan, Bolton was identified as a damage centre This indicates that it is a flood susceptible area in which potential damages and community disruption are significant Based upon a ranking of factors such as expected damage, threat to life, disruption of transportation routes, etc , the Dolton Damage Centre was identified as an area of high priority for the implementation of flood protection works The limits of the Bolton Damage Centre were identified on the basis of the area of flooding for the Regional Storm as per Figure 2 however, the Authority's policy with regards to flood protection of existing development indicates that remedial measures should be designed to prevent flooding up to a minimum of a 50% risk of excedence in a 100-yr period or a higher level if economically justified For this condition, the area of flooding is much less extensive The main area of concern therefore extends from the most downstream bridge on King Street up to the Old Bolton Mill Dam as shown Oil Figure 2 Upstream of this area, the existing channel has sufficient capacity to safely convey the 500-yr flow In reviewing the various alternatives for providing flood protec- tion for various flood flows, it was determined that a higher level of protection above the minimum specified by Authority policy could be achieved economically This higher level of protection was determined to have a risk of 18% of excedence over a 100-yr life which translates into the 500-yr flow This level of protection is also consistent with the existing capacity as indicated upstream of the Mill Dam The various components involved in achieving this level of protection are detailed on Figure 3 and consist of a major channel diversion to bypass the oxbow, the construction of a new bridge over the diversion, the reconstruction of an existing King Street bridge and the berming of three low lying areas situated upstream of the diversion, in the oxbow area, and downstream of the diversion Some channel improvements are also required below the diversion to the reconstructed bridge These proposed works not only provide a high degree of flood protection to the Village of Bolton, but also maintains the existing Old Mill Dam and by restricting the King Street Bridge just below the diversion, a base flow will be maintained through the existing oxbow This will ensure the retention of a riverside environment for the residential development which abuts the existing stream bank Typical sections of the diversion channel and dykes are shown on Fiqures 4 and 5 8-401 - 3 '" , PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS \\ , The acquisition of property required for this project will be undertaken under the Interi.m Water and Related Land Management Project 1979-1981, and subsequently under the Land Acquisition Project 1982-1984 of the Watershed Plan and therefore, will not form part of this project - B-402 ~ 0 HWY. 9 0 "" 0 N V >' >- ~ ~ z: z: HWY 1 --- --- METROPOLITAN " TORONTO LIMIT // HWY. 401 ~ HWY. 5 HWY.2 ~ . ~the metropolitan toronto and region FIG.1 conservation authority .a:. 0 w -- :; S:.11t I - ::.,) Yf~r F;':c:.~ii:l. - 3~~ YeClt F',oC::lfte . f-f:~"',oI 51',,,, f':)Oc:line Figure 2 LIMiTS OF THE BOLTON DAMAGE: CENTRE . ... ~ts ,;f ~? t~:'1 o.=~J~e C~ntr~.

The important factor therefore in comparing these two studies is, did the sub-watershed(s) that the Authority used to cover the Airport area utilize the same characteristics for land use etc as did the Transport Canada study Therefore, it was this area that staff reviewed and found that the Authority's study adequately reflects the 1978 watershed characteristics Therefore, in the Authority's study, the flows presented as representing present conditions, in fact incorporated the increased flows generated through the development of the Toronto International Airport. The present flow information from the Authority's study on the entire ~1imico and Etobicoke Creeks was utilized along with the yearly erosion inventory of the above creeks to establish funding for the Erosion and Sediment Control Program. Staff then is of the opinion that the funding proposed in the current Erosion and Sediment Control Program of the Watershed Plan is adequate Staff is also confident that through the Authority's Storm Water Management Program, the impact of flows of future Airport development as well as within the entire watershed, can be minimized and ultimately reduce the need for a major erosion control program.

J one s Chairman Secretary-Treasurer KC B-422 SCHEDULE "A" COLONEL SAMUEL BOIS SNITH WATERFRONT AREA - Environmental Assessment Act Process The purpose of this report is to document the Authority's involvement in, and views on the environmental assessment process as experienced through the Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Waterfront Area Master Plan submission, and to recommend improvements to the process The Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Master Plan was the first ever undertak~ng, subject to the full process of The Environmental Assessment Act, and understandably problems arose which, given more experience with the process, will be eliminated This report reviews the fundamental problems that were encountered In November 1977, a consulting consortium headed by Moffat, Moffat, Kinoshita Limited was retained by the Authority to prepare a master plan for the Colonel Samuel Smith site In addition to serving as a planning tool, the master plan was also required to meet the requirements of The Environmental Assessment Act It was the opinion of this Authority that environmental considerations should be an inherent part of any good planning exercise Therefore, the document entitled "Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Waterfront Area Master Plan" served as the Authority's environmental assessment submission PRIOR TO SuBMISSION UNDER THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ACT After receipt of the Master Plan from the consultants in May 1978, it was forwarded to MOE staff for an informal review This was a useful exercise particularly as it was the Authority's first undertaking to be submitted The informal review resulted in the preparation of an addendum to the Master Plan dated July 21, 1978 Recommendation #1 MOE be encouraged to continue. upon request. its assistance in informa~Zy reviewing documentation for proposed undertakings prior to formaZ submission as this is a beneficiaZ exercise Prior to formal submission of the Master Plan the following approvals/ conditional approvals were received Waterfront Advisory Board - May 9, 1978 Executive Committee - May 17, 1978 Authority - June 23, 1978 Borough of Etobicoke - May 23, 1978 Metropolitan Toronto - June 23, 1978 Humber College - June 26, 1978 Ministry of Natural Resources - April 17, 1979 B-423 - 2 - section 6(1) of The Environmental Assessment Act stipulates that no other approval shall be given unless the environmental assessment has been submitted to and accepted by the Minister of the Environment and approval to proceed with the undertaking has been granted Such a stipulation is very difficult for a Conservation Authority and the fact that this Authority requested prior approvals conditional on the findings of the Minister of the Environment was the subject of some discussion ,throughout the assessment process A Conservation Authority does not raise funds directly but must secure them from the member municipalities and the Province Approval of the affected municipalities and MNR is required for such undertakings as a master plan. Therefore, a Conservation Authority's "internal" approval includes that of the affected municipalities and MNR For this Authority to have proceeded to the formal Environmental Assessment submission stage without first having forwarded the Master Plan to the affected municipalities and MNR would have been illogical The input from the Authority's partners forms a part of the undertaking and contributes to the understanding of social needs, which must be identified in the environmental assessment process Therefore, the Authority received conditional approval for the Colonel Samuel Smith Master Plan, subject to the environmental assessment process, from the Borough of Etobicoke, Metropolitan Toronto and MNR It was believed that the requirements of Section 6(1) of The Environmental Assessment Act were still being complied with, and the Authority received the necessary assurance from its funding partners that the overall use and compo~ent parts identified in the Master Plan were acceptable Recommendation 112 ApprovaL of a Conservation Authority's funding partners; nameLy the affected municipaLities and MNR, be recognized as essentiaL to the Authority and significant to the environmentaL assessment process In addition, consideration be given to modifying Section 6(1) of The EnvironmentaL Assessment Act to accommodate Conservation Authorities in that no other finaL approvaL shalL be given prior to the environmentaL assessment process, or that an understanding be reached with MOE to the effect that the granting of conditionaL approvaLs (i e subject to the environmentaL assessment process) is s ti L L in conformity with the intent of Section 6 (1) of The Environmental Assessment Act SUBMISSION UNDER THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ACT The Colonel Samuel Smith Waterfront Area Master Plan was formally submitted to the Minister of the Environment for approval by letter dated July 25, 1978 Soon thereafter the Government review of the Master Plan commenced As part of MOE's earlier informal review of the Master Plan, concern was expressed as to conflicts between that section in the Master Plan dealing with bottom substrata and the results of a MOE diving survey consequently, the Authority arranged for its own scuba reconnaissance and submitted the results B-424 - 3 - to MOE on July 13, 1978 The results of the Authority's reconnaissance concurred with the information contained in the Master Plan However, the controversy over the substrata conflicts still existed after the Authority's formal submission of the Master Plan and by this point MNR was a member of the Government review team As MNR was a member of the review team, and the Provincial agency in charge of fisheries, and one of the Authority's funding agencies, MNR decided that a more detailed substrata, benthos and fisheries survey was required by the Authority to end the controversy Therefore, in October/November, 1978, Proctor and Redfern Limited and Authority staff undertook the necessary survey A report was finalized in November, 1978 which concurred with the results of the Authority's previous scuba reconnaissance and the information contained in the Master Plan Based on all the data, MNR as a member of the Government review team recommended that the Master Plan be given approval by memorandum dated February 27, 1979 When the Government review was made public in September, 1979, no mention was made that MNR accepted the Authority's results for the bottom substrata and the fisheries These results indicated that the substrata wasat best marginal for lake trout The Government review indicated that MOE limnologists concluded that the area could be excellent lake trout spawning substrate Ultimately, it was only through the Hearing itself that the Authority's data weveupheld This raises a question as to the method used in evaluating data in the Government review process It became evident at the Hearing that the Government review method consisted of collecting opinions from various Ministries, and that there was little evaluation of the data on which these opinions were based A rigorous evaluation process would have eliminated some of the concerns expressed in the review and substantially reduced the length of the Hearing The Authority first received the Government review at the time it was made public As the Authority did not have an opportunity to review a draft of the report, it was not possible to discuss any of the comments with the review team to alleviate any misconceptions, nor to attempt to resolve some of the issues The informal review of the Master Plan by MOE staff was of benefit to the Authority and as a result an addendum was prepared, a similar process for the Government review document would have been of benefit as well. The Government review of the Colonel Samuel Smith Master Plan was coordinated by staff of the Environmental Assessment Section of MOE and received input from the various staff of eleven different Ministries Although on page 4 of the , document it is indicated that the review represented only a preliminary position it did indicate that the preliminary position was that of the Ontario Government This created an unfair disadvantage to the Authority as it appeared that the project was being opposed by the Ontario Government itself In fact the Minister in calling for a hearing said he saw merit in the project but felt he had to recognize the concerns raised B-425 - 4 - The review document only identified areas of disagreement and, in the opinion of the review team, the negative aspects, while no mention was made of areas of concurrence or positive aspects This put the Authority at a further disadvantage and placed the Master Plan in a more un favourable light than would have occurred if the positive aspects had been included Public review of the project ~as greatly influenced by the review document . As indicated, the Colonel Samuel Smith Master Plan was reviewed by staff of eleven different Ministries In the text of the review document this group is referred to collectively as the "reviewers" The manner in which the review document was written gave the impression that the reviewers unanimously agreed with all the statements put forth However, as cited previously, this was not the case as MNR's memorandum comments on the suitability of the Colonel Samuel Smith bottom substrate as lake trout habitat did not concur with those that ultimately appeared in the review document While it should be noted in this specific instance that the document clearly indicated that it was MOE limnologists that concluded that the site could be excellent lake trout spawning substrate, no mention was made of the conclusions of MNR 1imno10gists and fisheries experts The review document would have been more complete and somewhat fairer if dissenting views had also been included or the original comments from the staff of the various Ministries included as appendices Recommendation #3 In order to help minimize any misconceptions and potential differences of opinions arising from the Government review document and in an effort to make the review document as complete as possible (a) the review document be subject to greater internal evaluation prior to its finalization; (b) the proponent be given an opportunity to review the review document and to meet with the review team prior to finalization; (c) the review document not be identified as the preliminary position of the Ontario Government but as the position of the staff of the various Ministries who participated in the review; (d) the review document identify positive as well as negative aspects and areas of concurrence as weH as disagreement; and (e) the review document identify dissenting views where a consensus of the review team does not exist or the original staff comments from the various Ministries be included as appendices B-426 - 5 - In the text of the review document, it was identified that the review team had two recommendations to make - the first concerning the acceptability of the Master Plan in light of the purpose and requirements of The Environmental Assessment Act, and the second, a determination of whether approval to proceed with the undertaking should or should not be given with or without terms and conditions In making these two recommendations on the Colonel Samuel Smith Master Plan, it was the opinion of the review team that the Master Plan was acceptable but that the undertaking as proposed be refused approval to proceed In order to arrive at these recommendations, the Government review document contains the various opinions and conclusions of the review team It would appear that the environmental assessment process would have been better served if conclusions and recommendations had not been put forth, and then the position of the review team would not have unnecessarily been polarized Alternativel~ the review document could have set out the varying opinions that flowed from the facts, whether agreed or disagreed, and explicitly defined the issues to be determined by the Minister or the Hearing Board As it was, the recommendation of the review team simply indicated that the Master Plan as proposed be refused approval to proceed The recommendation gave no specific grounds for the proposal of refusal Had specific grounds for the recommen- dation of refusal been included, then the evidence at the Hearing would have Qeen specific to those grounds, and would have resulted in a much shorter Hearing An examination of the procedures of the Ministry of Housing and the Ontario Municipal Board would be of benefit, in adopting a workable approach to this issue An individual has a right to request an Ontario Municipal Board Hearing On a planning issue provided that the request is not considered to be frivolous However, when staff of the Ministry of Housing receive contrary comments on an Official Plan, for example, an attempt is made to bring the sides together to see if the areas of concern can be resolved After such an exercise, it is only the unresolved issues that are forwarded on to the Minister If, then, the Minister decides to refer the matter to the Ontario Municipal Board, it is only the unresolved issues that are referred, not the entire Official Plan As the Minister of the Environemnt referred the entire Coionel Samuel Smith Master Plan to the Environmental Assessment Board, the Hearing was then longer than if specific issues had been referred. Recommendation #4 The review document not contain any conclusions or recommendations of approval or denial of an undertaking as this unnecessarily polarizes the review team's position The review document shoul.d set out the varyil1g opinions that flow from the facts. whether agreed or disagreed, and clearly define the issues to be determined by the Minister Or the Hearing Board so as to minimize the l.ength of a Hearing should one be ca Hed B-427 - 6 - HEARING BEFORE THE ENVIRONMENT^L ASSESSMENT BOARD On October 25, 1979 the Authority was informed by the Minister of the Environment that he was referring the matter of the Colonel Samuel Smith Master Plan to the Environmental ^ssessment Board The Hearing convened on April 22, 1980 and lasted for thirty-three days with its conclusion on July 18, 1980 In retrospect it is probably the opinion of the majority of those that participated, that the I1earing was too long As stated in the outset of this report it should be remembered that this was the first I1earing of its kind in the Province and given more familiarity with the process in the future some of the reasons for the length of the Hearing will be reduced or eliminated Nevertheless, the actual length of the Hearing did contribute substantially to the Authority's costs and staff commitments The major reasons which contributed to the length of the Hearing are as follows (a) in its recommendation the Government review document did not identify the specific grounds upon which the Master Plan should have been turned down; (b) the Minister of the Environment referred the entire Master , Plan to the Environmental Assessment Board as opposed to directing the Board to deliberate specific issues or to hold a pre-hearing procedure to isolate the main issues to be debated; (c) in its effort to conduct a full and complete Hearing, the Board permitted the following (i) once the Hearing commenced it quickly became obvious that the Hearing itself was a new and completely separate process and as a consequence new evidence and new issues not previously contained in the Authority's Master Plan or the Government review document were admissable In general this created a substantial workload for data preparation during the Hearing; (H) The Board was not prepared to limit the cross- examination by the general public which resulted at times in unrelated or repetitive questioning; (Hi) The Board was prepared to hear anybody in the audience who wished to ask questions even though such persons were not specifically identified as a party to the Hearing In addition to the foregoing, the lack of a clearly defined position by the Minister of the Environment at the Hearing also contributed to the actual length as well as raising other areas of concern As the Minister took no position before the Board, it proved very difficult for the Authority to prepare an adequate case As a consequence it was necessary for the ^uthority to enter evidence on all potential issues as a safeguard In retrospect, if the Minister of the Environment hau had a clearly defined position before the Board, then some of the evidence entered by the Authority would not have been required and thus the length and cost of the Hearing would have been reduced B-428 - 7 - In not taking a position before the Board, it was the intent of the Minister to remain "neutral" and to attempt to ensure that the Board had all the evidence required for a decision The Minister's neutrality, however, raised concern It was difficult to understand how the l-Unister could assert neutrality yet seek advice and call witnesses from those staff members who participated in the review process and who clearly indicated their adversity to the Master Plan in the Government review document Alternatively, if the Minister was to continue to take a neutral role in future hearings then his function could be similar to that of a "commission counsel" at a Royal Commission He would tender evidence in chief but would not participate in cross-examination Cross- examination would be left to the proponent or the opponents In addition, legal counsel for the Ministry of the Environment or the review team could be made available and their position could be made clear before the Board Also, an attempt was made by the Minister to have the Board determine Provincial policy This issue related specifically to the cumulative loss of the littoral zone of Lake Ontario as a result of landfilling MOE led evidence from areas many miles removed from the Colonel Samuel Smith site and from projects not related to the Authority's proposal, for example, the impacts of thermal plumes This did much to broaden the scope of the Hearing and substantially added to its length The issue of the function of the Board to create Provincial policy is a significant one It would appear more in keeping with the role of similar Boards, if the Environmental Assessment Board, applied or had regard to Provincial policy in its deliberations and was in no way expected to create it Recommendation #5 In order to help increase the effectiveness and efficiency of an Environmental Assessment Hearing (a) the Minister forward only unresolved issues to the Board, and The E:nvironmental Assessment Act be amended to permit the Board to hold a pre-hearing to isolate the main issues, (b) issues and/or evidence not identified in the review process would not be subsequently raised during the hearings without advance notice, 01' a specific ruling of the Board; (c) the Minister not present a neutral position before the Board unless his purpose is solely to tender evidence in chief, and (d) it be cleal'ly indicated that it is not within the Board's mandate to establish Provincial policy but to apply 01' have regard to it in its de 1-ibera tions - (e) every effort be made to resolve issues between the parties, prior to a hearing B-429 - 8 - POST HEARING The actual Hearing on the Colonel Samuel Smith Master Plan concluded on July 18, 1980 After this date it was a matter of awaiting the decision of the Board The Board's decision was made public on December 3, 1980 The Board saw fit to grant the Authority approval to proceed subject to six conditions The decision of the Board was then forwarded to the Minister and in accordance with Section 24 of The Environmental Assessment Act, the Minister had a twenty- eight day period, or longer if he so determined, to review the Board's decision and with the approval of the Lieutenant Governor in Council could " (a) vary the whole or any part of the decision; (b) substitute for the decision of the Board, such decision as he considers appropriate; or (c) by notice to the Board require the Board to hold a new hearing of the whole or any part of the matter referred to the Board by the notice of the Minister and reconsider its decision " On December 29, 1980, the Authority was informed by the Minister of the Environment that he had replaced t~e twenty-eight day review period by a longer period terminating on the earliest of " (a) the Lieutenant Governor-in-Council giving an approval pursuant to section 24 of the Act and the undersigned acting thereon; (b) the undersigned giving written notice to the proponent that no action will be taken pursuant to clauses ~, band c of section 24 of the Act; and - - (c) March 31, 1981 " Throughout this latter portion of the process, the Authority was informed of MOE's concerns with the lack of specifics in conditions *3 and *4 of the Board's decision These conditions related to the monitoring of the site and so the Authority agreed with MOE that it was in the best interest of all to define a mutually agreeable monitoring program to fulfill these conditions, and subsequently this was done The Board's decision of Deceniller 3, 1980 became final on March 31, 1981 B-430 - 9 - The environmental assessment process for the Colonel Samuel Smith Master Plan is now complete enabling the Authority to commence development when appropriate in its work schedule AUTHORITY COSTS INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS In summary, many factors contributed to the total expenditure of $326,669 by the Authority for the environmental assessment process It should be noted that some of these costs, such as the preparation of a master plan, would have been incurred irrespective of The Environmental Assessment Act However, other expenditures could have been reduced if the length of the nearing had been shorter and if the need for additional studies had been clearly determined. The costs can be broken down as follows - Preparation of the Master Plan $ 95,628 - Preparation of the Addendum (as a result of MOE's informal review) ~ 489 - Undertaking o~ the Two Substrate Studies $ 7,902 - Conduct of the Hearing, Consultants, Witnesses and legal fees $188,~85 - Authority staff U me (between the period March 21 - July 17, 1980, including the equivalent of 53 weeks of regular time and 12 weeks of overtime) $ 31,265 - Related post Hearing Involvement (legal fees) $ 2,500 TOTAL ~~~g,!,gg2 It should also be mentioned that in addition to actual costs for the involvement of Authority staff in the Hearing process, the concentration of staff time on the Hearing was at the expense of other regular duties Recommendation #6 Consideration be given to the means by which the proponent can be reZieved of some of the costs inourred in a protracted llearing, particuZarZy if the proponenth case is successful B-431 - 10 - ADDITIONAL COMMENTS Although not specific to the Colonel SaMuel Smith Master Plan process, concern is beginning to be expressed in general for the length of time required to complete the environmental assessment process As a rule, the Government review portion of the process takes a minimum of six months and this time period is obviously increased if a Hearing is required As more and more assessment submissions are made in the future, the real possibility exists that the length of time required for reviews will continually increase Recommendation #7 MOE be requested to investigate means of streamLining its procedures to at Least maintain and preferabLy shorten time requirements for the review of environmentaL assessment submissions June 17, 1981 TEF/md ~ , B-432 the metropolitan toronto and region conservation authority minutes - EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 81 07 OB 1110/81 ------ The Executive Committee met at the Authority Office, 5 Shore ham Drive, Downsview, on 81 07 08 1000 PRESENT Chairman Dr J K Reynold s Vice-Chairman Mrs Florence Gell Members M W H Biggar M J Breen Mrs F Edna Gardner Mrs Lois Hancey C F Kline E V Kolb Dr T H Leith J S Scott Staff K G Higgs W E Jones P B Flood Mrs K Conron Mrs A C DeanS B E.

This program provides for remedial measures, land acquisition and application of regulatory measures to leave flood plains unobstructed to pass flood flows Three programs complementary to the Flood Control Program recognize the relationships between urban drainage, erosion and sedimentation, and flooding. Erosion and Sediment Control Pro ram - The Erosion and Sediment Control program is aimed at protecting life and property trough correctlve wor s as well as preventing future hazards through development control. Storm Water Management pro~ram - The Storm Water Management Program details cooperative action between the Authority and its member municipal1tles on water management problems and preparation of master drainage plans. Land Management Program promotes conservation on private and public improvements, stream improvements and a conservation land planning Shoreline Management Program - The shoreline Management Program aims at reducing erosion and flooding hazards along the Lake Ontario Shoreline through application of protective works, acquisition and planning, and regulatory controls.

The Budget proposals also address a number of adminstrative matters which pertain to program delivery including - meeting deficits for previous years operations and the Provincial audit: - allocation of municipal levies on hand; - dealing with a backlog of major maintenance; - provincial initiatives in funding restraint The impact of the measures proposed in this Budget will be to proceed at a slower pace than anticipated in meeting "Watershed Plan" objectives, maintaining quality of performance and meeting a backlog of costs which have accumulated as a result of audit and constrained funds The funding for all of the Authorities multi-year projects terminated in 1981. The funding for 1982 development work will be based on projects adopted by the Authority in 1981, for Land Acquisition, Erosion Control, Waterfront and Shoreline Development and Flood Control Remedial Measures. All the municipal approvals for these projects, except the Bolton Channelization, are in hand, and the Authority's ability to proceed is dependent upon provincial approval and funding. Format of Presentation The 1982 Budget Estimates are based on the same program management format as the 1981 budget format The format is designed to more clearly identify the ten 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 1982 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). Page 1-3 Authority Programs 1.

It was also anticipated tha t a gradual increase to wage parity for all Village Staff vis-a-vis the Authority established wage rates could be achieved, but this will not be possible at this time.

The project is for a one year period. The Authority's goal with respect to the recreational use of Authority lands is to provide opportunities for public access to Authority lands where the public can engage in outdoor activities requiring a natural setting and acquire an appreciation of the region's resources through recreation. For the purpose of accomplishing its resource management goals, an Authority has power .to use land~; owned or controlled by the Authority for park and other recreation purposes, a~ to erect or permit to be erected, buildings, booths and facilities for such purposes " Conservation Authorities Act R.S o. 1970, Chapter 78, as amended. From the late 1950's to the early 1970's, conservation area development proceeded at a fast pace with twelve areas opened for public use by 1970 That rapid period of growth has been followed by severe constraints on the provincial cash flow available to continue the projects begun prior to 1970 Many of the original areas were opened with only temporary facilities provided These facilities have not been replaced on schedule and do not meet current health and safety standards. B-557 - 2 - A number of conservation area developments also attract and serve tourists to the Toronto region Tourism in Metropolitan Toronto increased by approximately 25% between 1975 and 1981 and the demand for tourist campground accommodation has kept pace with this increase To continue to serve the residents and visitors to the Toronto region at an acceptable standard it is necessary to begin a systematic redevelopment of the Authority's areas special funds on hand which accrue to the Authority through the sale and lease of lands may be utilized for this purpose The adoption of this project will enable the Authority to develop facilities and services required by visitors to conservation areas at the high standard the community expects B-558 LOCATION AND DESC~l~TJI~ - Since its inception in 1957, the Authority has pursued a comprehensive water and related land management program including the provision of outdoor recreation opportunities on lands acquired for hazard and conservation purposes The Authority has provided these opportunities through a program of direct develop- ment, management and operation of Authority lands as well as by leasing to other public agencies Authority lands sJitable fu~ incorporation into local open space systems. Conservation areas are designated resource management areas where the natural characteristics of land, together with the conservation land management activities of the Authority, provide a broad range of outdoor recreation opportunities, supported by a variety of facilities and services, enabling all residents of the region to enjoy the out-of-doors Forest and wildlife areas are designated resource management areas where the natural characteristics of land, together with the conservation land management activities of the Authority, provide outdoor opportunities to study and observe, generally supported only by the provision of avenues for public access A sample of the outdoor recreation opportunities available in the Authority's Conservction and Forest and Wildlife Areas is illustrated in Table 1 Residents from throughout the Authority's area of jurisdiction regularly travel to one or more areas to enjoy the variety of opportunities offered year round (Table 2). The proximity of areas to the most highly urbanized section of Ontario and the external influence of energy and transportation costs will ensure that the use of these areas will continue at the present levels now approaching 1 5 million users annually. Of these visitors, many are tourists on a day visit to the Black Creek Conservation Area or camping at the Indian Line Campground. The Black Creek pioneer Village is a replica of a pre-la67 village B-559 CONSERVATION AND FOREST 6 WILDLIFE AREAS ~ W (1) (1) W -' lie --I =:! a: W u -' W --I W ~ >- W <t i: I- W lJ..

B-561 - 4 - in Upper Canada Tourists and residents alike experience daily life in the restored buildings which have been relocated on the site and gain an understanding of local resources through the interpretation of their historical importance. Although many opportunities for recreation have been provided, the need for improvement of the services and amenities in these Areas is becoming increasingly important (Photo 1) In visitor surveys conducted in 1979 and again in 1981, it is evident that residents of the Toronto region expect and desire improvements in these areas which significantly augment the opportunities provided by both local and senior jurisdictions The amenities proposed in this project include the provision of washrooms and shelters in two conservation areas, a maintenance building in the Black Creek Conservation Area and ground and facility improvements at the Indian Line Campground These facilities were identified in the Watershed Recreation and Heritage Conservation Programs of the Authority's Watershed Plan which was approved by the Authority in December 1980 WASHROOM/SHELTER COMPLEX In 1982, the Aythority proposes to construct two washroom/shelter complexes (Photo 2) These facilities will be in two conservation areas One will be constructed in the Albion Hills Conservation Area located in the Town of Caledon on Highway No 50, 8 kilometres north of Bolton and the second in the Heart Lake Conservation Area located in the City of Brampton on Heart Lake Road, 6 kilometres north of Highway No 7 Originally all areas were equipped temporarily with outhouses.

These partially open facilities enable large and small groups to coordinate their activities in the event of inclement weather Each year many group functions must be cancelled ?ecause of threatening weather When these shelters are not rented for group picnic functions, they are available for the general public and for day camp groups which are important non-peak users during the weekday period Monday to Friday The availability of these structures can reduce the revenue fluctuations experienced by all outdoor recreation operators At Albion Hills, the facility will be located in the Humberview picnic area and will also serve to adjacent group picnic areas and day campsites (Figure 1) At Heart Lake the facility will be located adjacent to a 700 car parking lbt and major picnic area (Figure 2) Both facilities will be equipped for use by disabled persons and provide facilities which may be utilized year round MAINTENANCE BUILDING - BLACK CREEK CONSERVATION AREA The adoption of this project will enable the Authority to construct a new maintenance building in the Black Creek Pioneer Conservation Area (Photo 3) The Master Plan prepared in 1964 recognized that the current facility was in an inappropriate location and recommended that it be located in the southeast corner of Black Creek Pioneer village This change of location is -- --- -- - - - - B-564 "" ~ SID[~~O ________ i I PROPOSED DEVELOP'MENT' !

INDIAN LINE CAMPGROUND - CLAIREVILLE CONSERVATION AREA In 1972, the Authority opened the Indian Line Campground to provide an alternative type of accommodation for tourists of the Toronto Region (Photo 4) Located in the City of Brampton with access off Indian Line Road, the facility is strategically located in relationship to the major attractions in Metropolitan Toronto and now also within 20 kilometres of Canada's Wonderland The ever increasing use of the site necessitated an expansion program which was begun in 1978 to add an additional 110 campsites to the 125 orginally developed This expansion is not yet complete due to the severe financial constraints. In 1982, the development of Highway No. 427 will require the construction of a new entrance to the campground from the Finch Avenue extension This entrance in part will be constructed for the Authority by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications (0 M.T C ) However, the change in entrance will require the construction of a permanent control station to provide supervision for the site Both the expansion of the campsite and the new entrance location were ide~tified prior to the initial site development in the early 1970's. Provision was made at that time to accommodate the new entrance and only a temporary residence was provided for camp- ground supervision. ... ',?, '~11-' .

Introduction 2 Letails of the Project (a) Purpose (b) I.Dcation and Description (c) Costs (d) Financing 8-576 1 Introduction '!he Black Creek Pioneer Village is a heritage oonservation project of '!he ~tropolitan Toronto and Region conservation Authority Originally established by the Humber Valley COnservation Authority as the Dalziel Pioneer Museun on oon- servation lands acquired by the Hu'nber Valley Authority, the project has been developed as a heritage conservation project within the Black Creek conservation Area '!he Village has been established as a living portrayal of pre-COnfederatiat life in an Ontario cross-roads village. '!he management of selected heritage oonservation resources has fonred a part of the conservation Authority programs for many years All of the conser- vation reports prepared by the province of Ontario for the watersheds under the jurisdiction of the ~tro Region Authority included a section on history and inventoried a number of historic sites in the region. '!he reports traced the history of settlerrent in the region, particularly as it has related to the use of water and other resources in the region '!he historic perspective of the resource managerrent is a key elerrent of the Black. creek Pioneer Village program. At the present time the Village consists of more than thirty authentically restored historical buildings representing a wide spectrum of pioneer life. '!he annual visitation of 300,000 visitors, including 60,000 scl'Pol children taking part in an educational program offered at the Village, is drawn fran all parts of Ontario, neighbouring provinces and the United States, and the Black creek Pioneer Village continues to be one of the major tourist attractions in the Toronto region As such, its further develornent is consistent with Ontario Govemrrent policy to foster the grcMth of tourism. Since the adoption of the original master plan in 1964 the need for a Visi tors Centre at the Village has been recognized as an essential ccrcponent of the Village '!he Authority's'Watershed Plan' adq:lted in 1980 and approved by all rrenber municipalities, recognized the construction of a Visitors Centre at Black Creek Pioneer Village as a major objective for the Heritage conservation Program. '!his project has been prepared to provide for the construction of the Visitors Centre at a tim:- when it is urgently needed and in recognition of the 25th anniversary of 'The ~tropolit.an Toronto and Regicn conservation Authority B-577 2. ~tails of the Project (a) Purpose The purpJse of this project is to pennit The >>atropolitan Toronto and lEgicn Cbnservation Authority to exercise the pavers afforded by the Conservation Authorities J\ct, R.S 0 1970, Chapter 78, as arrended, in the furtherance of its objects to establish and construct a Visitors Centre for the Black Creek Pioneer Village located in the Black Creek Ccnservation Area. The purpose of the Visitors Centre is to provide for the aca:mmdatioo of visitors to the Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Black Creek Conservatioo Area, and to assist in the visitors' awreciation and understanding of the heritage resource which the Village represents (b) IDeation and ~scription '!he Black Creek Pioneer Village is situated in the 47 hectare Black Creek Cbnservation Area which stretches along the valley of the Black Creek from north of Steeles Avenue in the 'I'oNn of Vaughan, southerly to Finch Avenue in the City of North York. The Village occupies 31 hectares within the Black Creek Conservaticn Area '!he Village is well located with respect to arterial roads and regional high- way routes, as well as being served by a regular Toronto Transportation Ccmnission bus route In determining the need for and establishing the characteristics of a Visitors Centre, the Authority has undertaken nurrerous and extensive planning studies. The master plan prepared for the Black Creek Picneer Village in 1964 identified the need for a Visitors Centre at the entrance to the Village to provide service facilities for visitors (ticket taking, student asserrdJly, washroans, food service, gift shop, exhibi t space, orientation facilities, visual aids and aani.ni.strati ve and workshop facilities) Subsequent up:lates of the master plan have continued to identify the need for this facility In order to give precise definition to the need for and characteristics of a Visitors Centre, the Authority engaged the services of architects who have prepared concept plar,s and ccmnis:,;ioned a feasibility study by the finn of ~loitte, Haskins, Sells and Associates. a firm of managarent consultants '!he managem:mt CQ1Sultant report confirrred the need for a Visitors Centre and indicated that it would have a positive effect on the visitors' enjCJYllEIlt and appreciation of the Village and would be a factor in sustaining and increasing visitation The report also indicated that the gift shop and food facilities to be included would be an ircportant factor :in producing operating revenue for the Village In its ecx:manic analysis of the project, looking at ooth the cost of oonstruction and operating oosts, the report concluded that a first phase of the project having an area of approxiIrately 16,000 sq ft. would be feasible Based on the planning studies carried out by the Authority, the architectural concepts which have been reviewed and the managarent consultant's report, the Black Creek Pioneer Village Visitors Centre is proposed as a facility to be located at the entrance to the Village in its first phase cxnprising 16,000 sq ft. and contain- ing the follcwing facilities B-578 2.

'!he building will be designed to be functional and the ecorxmy of rrainten- ance and operation will be an :ilIportant factor The exterior design will be such that the structure will not be a daninant feature viewed from the Village '!he design of the building will place irrportance on energy efficiency and canplete accessibility by the disabled. The Black Creek Pioneer Village Visitors Centre is envisaged to be a facility that can be expanded to rreet future needs and provision for expansion will be rrade in the design B-579 .

INTRODUCTION At Personnel Sub-Committee Meeting #3/80, held December 8, 1980, the following resolution was adopted: "Res. #20 THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the report of Woods, Gordon under date of December 8, 1980 be received; and that the staff be directed to: (a) Review the report and recommendations; (b) Prepare and recommend an improved system of job evaluation; and ( c) Prepare and recommend an improved classification levels and wage system." By memo of 1981. 05. 27. , a Special Task Force was appointed by the General Manager to implement this recommendation. The Task Force was comprised of T.E. Barber, Chairman, J.D. Agnew and A. C. Deans, Members. The Task Force established a work program to span the per iod from June to October 1981, including the following activities: .a review and analysis of the existing Authority classification system; .a review and analysis of the Decision Band system proposed in 1980 by Woods, Gordon; .an identification of the Task Force's objectives for a job evaluation system; .a review and analysis of the types of job evaluation systems commonly used; .the development of a proposal to evaluate all positions; . a survey of comparable salary data through interview with municipal and Provincial personnel staff; .an identification of other forms of compensation; .a recommended 1982 Salary and Wage Schedule; .the preparation of implementation and administration recommendations. This report details findings of the various stages of the work program. 565 - 2 - B. EXISTING AUTHORITY EVALUATION SYSTEM The Authority currently employs a twelve level classification system which has been in place for approximately ten years. This system was reviewed by the Task Force to identify its strengths and weaknesses and the following conclusions reached. 1. The system was an attempt to classify salaried employees and was useful for a number of years. 2. The present classification level system only applies to a portion of the Authority's employees, generally those salaried, full-time positions. Hourly, part-time and seasonal employees are not addressed by this system and, as a result, these staff have felt separate from those included. 3. While there are twelve levels in the present system, no positions are classified in levels one, two or nine. This appears to have been due to the perceived need to pay more for certain jobs and, therefore, the reclassification of jobs upward to a higher pay grade. The long-term effect has been to "compress" the system to ten levels, with a gap between eight and ten, raising compensation at the lower end, but not making comparable adjustments at the top levels. 4. The class descriptions are very sketchy. It is, therefore, difficult for staff to clearly understand their assignment to a specific level. It is also possible for new positions to be classified in any of a number of categories depending on the individual assessment of the supervisor. Inconsistency has developed amongst divisions, as little regard has been given to comparisons to positions in other divisions in classifying new positions or reclassifying existing ones. 5. Classification level descriptions do not refer to compensable factors (such as expertise/skills) and result in subjective placement of new positions on the basis of supervisor's perception of "job worth", as also discussed in No. 3. The result of classifying positions is to place them within certain pay grades. Pay grades within the present system and problems identified in this connection are discussed in Section H, Salary Survey. C. DECISION-BAND METHOD OF JOB EVALUATION In 1979, the Authority identified a need to review and assess its management systems. Hickling, Johnson Consultants were employed and recommended that Authority positions should be subject to a new system of job evaluation. In 1980, the Authority employed Woods, Gordon to prepare an evaluation of Authority staff positions utilizing the "Decis ion- Band Method" . The Task Force reviewed this type of system and the resulting position classifications and identified the following. - 3 - B-{ 1. The Woods, Gordon study updated a large number of position descriptions and increased internal awareness of job tasks. 2. The study identified that Authority "job rates" are generally not at market. 3. The system employs a single compensable factor, decision-making, as the main criteria of determining job worth. All other factors, normally considered in evaluation systems, are either subordinate considerations or are not recognized. 4. The system did not attempt to classify all positions, but dealt largely with those included in the existing Authority salaried staff (#120). The majority of hourly, part-time and seasonal staff were still not integrated into the proposal (#460). 5. The resulting system defined a large number of levels (22) which were difficult for staff to clearly understand their assignment to a specific level. 6. The position descriptions prepared to enable evaluation, described Job tasks rather than addressing compensable factors (eg, knowledge/skill, accountability) and resulted in classification based on discussion rather than on information provided from the descriptions. While this is not unusual, it does make job evaluation more subjective. In carrying out the Sc:.lary Survey, the Task Force also discussed job evaluation methodology with municipal and provincial staff. While many different types of systems are employed, no other organization contacted utilizes a single factor analysis to evaluate "job worth". It was stated by all contacted that factors other than decision-making were included in their job evaluation systems. D. TASK FORCE OBJECTIVES FOR A JOB EVALUATION SYSTEM Early in its work, the Task Force adopted as its overall objective, the following: to establish a system of equitable internal relationships for all positions within the Authority. The Task Force identified the following objectives: 1. To classify all Authority positions; 2. To provide a consistent measurement of all jobs in order to eliminate individual bias and to enable evaluation of all positions through the objective consideration of total job worth. 667 - 4 - 3. To ensure a consistent approach amongst divisions in establishing "structure", reporting relationships and job titles. 4. To be understandable to all employees by providing sufficient detail to explain the placement of any position at a specific level within the system. 5. To enable implementation and ongoing administration so that inconsistency does not develop over time. In addition to reviewing internal relationships, the Task Force undertook salary/wage comparisons with related external organizations in order to recommend competitive compensation. E. STANDARD METHODS OF JOB EVALUATION The Task Force reviewed the standard methods of job evaluation used by organizations to assess internal job equity. In this area, the better known sources, as identifed in discussion with personnel staff, ar~: \ - D.W. Belcher: Co~pensatiQn Administration;, - M. L. Rock:, Handbopk of wci'ge and Salary Adm'inistrat,ion. \ .. J ~ : \: ~ Ther~ are four major~methods;of job evaluatipn: It I I I Nonqu~ntitative - Job Ranking - Job Classification Quantitative - Factor Comparison - Point Factor In discussing the use of any method, the first step common to all is the requirement to have good job data based on up-to-date job descriptions. This, in part, was provided by the Woods, Gordon study. 1. Job Ranking Method This method ranks jobs in the organization from the highest to the lowest. Jobs are initially considered by each department and then all departmental rankings are dovetailed. Separations, or break points, can then be used to establish grouping into grades or classes. This is the simplest method of job evaluation and the easiest to explain. In order to utilize this method, good job data is required to enable those ranking jobs to apply standard criteria. It is also necessary to clearly establish the specific compensable factors being considered so that a fair comparison is being made and individual bias is eliminated. - 5 - B-1 2. Job Classification Method This method involves defining a number of classes (groups or grades) and fitting the jobs into the appropriate class. After obtaining good job data, jobs are separated by type. The compensable factors to be considered are identified, class descriptions are prepared and jobs classified. This method is often used in conj"nction with job ranking. Once jobs are ranked and separation/break points established, the characteristics of the resulting groups are described as levels. 3. Factor Comparison Method This method compares one job to another, one factor at a time. Job descriptions are written in terms of the compensable factors being considered, then "key" or "benchmark" jobs are selected and ranked. Wages/salaries are apportionned to each factor on the basis of its importance relative to that position. Factor rankings are then compared to wage/salary distribution to verify accuracy. True "key" jobs will show equal rank for factor importance and wage rate. This method is extremely complex, difficult to explain and requires that "key" jobs have valid wage/salary rates in terms of all internal comparisions. 4. 'Point Factor Method I This method breaks down each job into several compensable factors, scores each factor and then adds all factor scores to obtain the value of the job. After collecting good job data, compensable factors are selected and defined in detail. Factors are then broken into divisions or degrees so that raters can evaluate the amount or level of a factor in each job. Factors are generally weighted to correspond to the relative importance of the factor to the organization. Point values are then assigned on the basis of: factor points being equal to the weight the factor is given by the organization and degree points representing the division of the factor points into the number of degrees within the factor. A job evaluation manual is then prepared and jobs are rated. While this type of system establishes a stable rating scale, it is difficult to develop and, often, to interpret. One or more of the above methods are used by each of the organizations interviewed by the Task Force. The only one not frequently used is the Factor Comparison Method, probably due to the difficulties in identifying true "key" positions and in the complexity of the comparisons. 669 - 6 - It should be noted that in the municipalities surveyed job evaluation was used largely for non-union staff. Unions and management generally establish the relative worth of jobs within the bargaining unit(s) through negotiation rather than through the application of formal job evaluation. All of the groups interviewed have a unionized staff component. F. SELECTION OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM After discussing the various ways by which positions could be evaluated, the Task Force determined that a combined job ranking/ classification method could satisfy the needs of the organization. In order to evaluate positions, the first step was to define what it is that the organization is paying for, that is, what compensable factors should be considered. The Authority is an autonomous, special purpose body charged with responsibilities relating to conservation, restoration and management of renewable natural resources. As such its staff complement is comprised of positions requiring specific skills in professional/technical/administrative areas as well as the support staff necessary for the operation of any organization. The Task Force determined that four compensable factors should be assessed in evaluating the jobs performed by Authority staff. These factors are summarized, in chart form, on page 22 and are Knowledge/Skills; Judgement/Decision-Making; Contacts; and Accountability. These factors describe the characteristics of position. In choosing to employ an individual certain other "selection criteria" are employed, however, these are not addressed in this report. In establishing a system the Task Force identified two categories, regular staff and supplementary staff. Regular staff were separated into four groups: - General Office - General Field - Technical/professional - supervisory/Management The purpose of this was to enable individual positions to be evaluated on the basis of comparisons to similar positions. A general group description was prepared for each ~f the above and forms the preamble to the discussion of the group in Section G. Jobs within each group were then ranked on the basis of the evaluation of compensable factors characteristic of the job. This resulted in a number of levels within each group. The factor characteristics for each group were then summarized and level descriptions prepared. - 7 - B-670 This work addressed the Authority's regular staff and it was necessary then to perform a similar exercise with respect to supplementary staff. Three groups of supplementary staff have been identified. - Contract/Seconded Staff - Program Staff - Service Staff These groups represent all employees not included in the Authority's regular staff. G. JOB EVALUATION TERMINOLOGY The following terms are used in the proposed system and are provided here for clarification. l. Authority Staff All personnel employed by the Authority and falling into two categories, regular or supplementary. Regular Staff All personnel employed on a regular work week (35 or 40 hours) and on a year-round basis. These personnel form the estab- lished regular staff complement of the organization and are eligible for all benefits. A probationary period may be required. The four groups of Regular Staff are: - General Office - General Field - Technical/Professional - Supervisory/Management Supplementary Staff All personnel employed on a part-time, seasonal or contract basis and not included in the regular st~f complement. Personnel are not employed on a regular ork week, year-round and are eligible for partial benefits. The three groups of Supplementary Staff are: - Contract/Seconded Staff - Program Staff - Service Staff 2. Supervision Given Where an employee exercises some control over the work of others, this is frequently called supervision and the individual referred to as a supervisor. In personnel terms, two aspects of this function are evident, supervision and group leadership. 671 - 8 - Supervisor A person held responsible for all the functions of a formally recognized unit of organization at any level, whose duties include planning, organizing, coordinating and controlling work, with authority to deal with personnel matters (discipline, employee performance appraisal, salary recommendations). Group Leader A person who provides guidance to two or more fellow employees, performing similar tasks with other group members, allocating daily assignments, checking completed work, but not having authority to deal with or decide on personnel matters. 3. Supervision/Direction Received The majority of staff perform their tasks under some degree of supervision or direction, as follows. (a) Works under Supervision In accordance with established procedures and clear instructions, having very limited choice of action. The supervisor is readily available to deal with all non-routine mqtters. Work consists of a series of tasks with regular review. (b) Works under General Supervision With considerable functional independence as in many "journeyman" level clerical, secretarial and professional positions. Unusual problems referred to supervisor. Work consists primarily of tasks, with an occasional requirement for project work of a minor nature. The supervisor is not concerned with work details, but may make monthly or quarterly review of abilities. (c) Works under Direction In accordance with generally accepted standards and with agreed objectives on overalV requirements and timing. Assignments reviewed for adherence to objectives and technical soundness. Project work of relatively short duration and, with ongoing tasks, subject to yearly or more frequent (six month, quarterly) review. (d) Works under General Direction In accordance with operating policy directive and agreed objectives. May involve coordination with work of other departments to achieve policy implementation. Projects may extend over more than a year. Ongoing tasks subject to yearly review, but results of decisions may not be fully apparent for two or three years. - 9 - B-6 7~ 4. Contacts The nature of job contacts contain three elements, frequency, level and purpose. The first two are reasonably clear. In discussing "purpose of contacts", the following are the three levels involved. (a) To exchange readily available information; routine matters; including the exchange of information not requiring interpretation or application to new situations; asking or answering standard questions. (b) To obtain or disseminate information that is non-standard; non-routine matters; applying policy to new situations; knowing questions to ask or discussing organization policy. (c) To resolve problems; getting someone to do something. Reference is also made to the "work unit." This is defined as the physical area in which the job is performed. 5. Levels of Responsibility To assist in understanding the scope and impact of decisions made and' the accQuntabil,ity attached to a position, the following terms have bee~ used. These are based on the hierarchy of concerns which are addressed by various levels within the organization. (a) Division A unit of organization responsible for a number of "like" programs, eg, Water Resources Division has responsibility for programs dealing with water resources and certain related land management concerns. (b) Program The watershed Plan established ten programs, functional areas of responsibility, eg, Flood Control. (c) Program Management Unit Each of the organizatten's programs are implemented by the adoption of projects, generally covering a component of a program, eg, regulation administration is a program management unit of the Flood Control Program. (d) Activity Discrete tasks to implement a program management unit, eg, field inspection. - to I "" -...J W r All Authorltv surt I I Regular Staff Supplementary Statf All personnel employed un a regular ,",ork -" All personnel employed on a part-time, \leek (35 or 40 hours) and on a YC5r-round seasonal or contract basis and not basis These personnel foro the c8tablulhec lncluded 1n the rcqular litaff regular Btaff coQplemcnt of the orqonlzatior complement Personnel are not employee and are eligIble for all benofits A on a regular vork week., year-round ane probatlonary period may be required are eligible tor partial benefit.

Some supervisory/group leadership tasks may be performed, however, these represent less than half of the job time. The majority of job time relates to utilizing the various skills gained through education, training and/or experience. GOl _ These positions require basic skills (e.g. spelling, grammar, arithmetic) and the ability to operate standard office equipment (e.g. calculator, switchboard) These skills are generally obtained through some secondary school and a short training period not normally requiring previous work experience. Contacts are frequent, but generally limited to the work unit for the exchange of routine information. Decision-making relates to problems involving a small number of alternatives, limited complexity and little uncertainty Work is subject to check by supervisor or is self-checking. Impact of error is limited, requiring repetition of task. G02 _ These positions require somewhat more advanced basic skills than GOl and may require proficiency in specialized office equipment (e.g. word processor). To achieve the required proficiency it .is generally necessary to have directly related work experience or training beyond secondary school. Contacts by these positions are frequent both within the work area and external with customers, vendors and staff of other organizations for the exchange of routine information. Work is performed under regular supervision and decisions involve little complexity and limited uncertainty with some simple analysis. positions may perform group leadership tasks within work unit (e.g. peer staff orientation). The impact of error is generally limited to the work unit. G03 _ These positions require skills generally gained through secondary school or through some business or vocational training and directly related work experience Contacts by this group are frequent within the work unit and also external with customers, vendors and staff of other organizations for the exchange of routine information Decisions relace to varying problems requiring analysis and some trial and error Work is performed under general supervision and some group leadership tasks may be performed. Errors may impact daily work of others. G04 _ These positions require skills generally gained through post-secondary school business or vocational training and directly related work experience. Contacts by these positions may involve purchase/sales as well as the exchange of nonroutine information. Decisions may involve problem analysis, including both choosing from available information and/or estimating from incomplete information. Tasks are performed under general supervision. Error by these positions may not be readily detected and may result in financial loss, within accountability limits, affect prestige of organization, or affect efficient operation of the activity. G05 _ These positions require skills related to the operation of highly specialized office equipment generally acquired through community college graduation and directly related work experience Contacts are frequent, to the management level, and involve the exchange of nonroutine information Tasks are performed under general direction and may involve some supervisory responsi- bilities Decisions may involve choice from amongst alternatives (e.g. method of performing task related to evaluation of problem) and involves advice to other staff based on specialized expertise Responsible for specialized function, therefore, error may result in financial loss, within accountability limits, or affect efficient operation of the activity. - 12 - 675 General Field - Includes all labour and vocational field positions performing the organization's daily/weekly operational functions.

Contacts may involve purchase/sales as well as the exchange of nonroutine information. Decisions may involve problem analysis, including both choosing from available information and/or estimating from incomplete information (e.g drawing up a work schedule). Tasks are performed under general supervision. Error by these positions may not be readily detected and may result in financial loss, within accountability limits, affect prestige of organization, affect efficient operation of the program management unit or affect the safety of others. GF4 - These positions require highly specialized skills acquired through secondary school or vocational training and an apprenticeship period resulting in certification. Contacts are frequent and for the exchange of nonroutine information Tasks are performed under general direction and may involve some supervisory responsibilities. Decisions may involve choice from amongst alternatives (e.g method of performing task is related to evaluation of problem) and involves advice to other staff based on specialized expertise. Responsible for specialized function, therefore, error may not be readily detected and may result in financial loss, within accountability limits, affect efficient operation of the activity, or affect the safety of others. - 13 - B-676 Technical/professional - Positions in this group perform tasks requiring specialized technical or professional skills, generally gained through post secondary training at a college or university level. Positions may include some supervisory/group leadership tasks, however, these represent less than half of the job time. The majority of the job time relates to utilizing the various skills gained through education and experience. TPl - These positions require a basic understanding of technical principles generally gained through college or university courses in a specific area and enabling job proficiency after a short training period. Contacts are frequent within the work unit as well as external with the public and staff of other organizations for the exchange of routine information. Decision- making requires problem analysis and application of skills to a limited number of variables under supervision. Errors may affect daily operations within work unit and impact on work of others. TP2 - These positions require a knowledge of technical principles generally gained through college or university graduation plus directly related experience or specialized post graduate training Contacts ~re frequent both <<ithin and external to the organization for the purpose of exchanging nonroutine information Decision-making requires choosing from available information and estimating from incomplet~ information, including choosing from amongst possible alternatives Work is performed under general supervision and may include some group leadership responsibilities (e.g. training, assisting other staff) Positions are responsible for a unit of work, therefore, error may not be easily detected and may impact on implementation or effectiveness of the program management unit. TP) - These positions require a wide understanding of the principles and applications of technical topics generally gained through college or university graduation and some related work experience. Contacts are frequent both within and external to the organization for the exchange of nonroutine information. Decisions relate to nonlinear problems involving the interaction of multiple variables (e g. recommending storm sewer capacity, predicting impacts on biological communities). Tasks are performed under general supervision and some group leadership or supervisory tasks may be performed (e.g. seasonal staff on a project basis). These positions are generally rcsponsible for implementing a specific component of a program or project. Results of decisions may result in long-term impact on program/program management unit effectiveness. TP4 - These positions require an understanding of complex principles of specialized technical topics and their application in policy implementation generally gained through university graduation or professional accreditation and a number of ycars of directly related experience Internal and external contacts for the exchange of nonroutine information are direct and regular at the management and professional level and with the public.

NOTE: The Task Force does not see all positions in SM4 or SM5 groups as being at - one level Discussion with respect to positions in these groups identified considerable range in program scope and responsibility leading to the recommendation of a ranking of positions based on a number of criteria: - diversity/complexity of responsibility; - number of employees; - size of budget; - policy responsibility. - 15 - B-678 SUPPLEMENTARY STAFF Contract/Seconded Staff Positions in this group perform tasks requiring specialized technical, professiona 1, supervisory or management skills in order to carry out a specific task within a specified time frame. 1. Contract Staff - All personnel employed through a formal contract arrangement for a specified period of time A jab description must be prepared and the position classified to relate to positions in the regular staff in order to determine the appropriate remuneration. Personnel are eligible for partial benefits as per contract agreement. Contracts must not be used to fill a position which has become a continuing requirement on a full-time basis. Contracts should be used to provide staff to perform a one-time-only assignment or to fill a specific seasonal requirement. 2. Seconded Staff - ~l personnel employed for a specified period of time through a formal agreement with another organization which continues to provide their salary and benefits These staff fill a regular complement position or special function for a specified period of time They are subject to Authority terms and conditions of employment. Program Staff Positions in this group are employed on a part-time or seasonal basis and are hourly-rated or receive a per diem. These staff deliver the Authority's programs involving contact with the public or carry out technical work or studies, as requlred. Specialized skills or training are required. Group leadership or supervisory responsibilities may be part of the position, but represent less than half of the Job time. Wages for these positions are determined on the basis of internal relationships and market comparisons. Job descriptions will generally relate to the Technical/Professional, Supervisory/Management groups. NOTE: This group is not divisible into levels as there is considerable range in program scope and responsibility leading to a partial ranking and listing of positions. Service Staff Positions in this group include part-time or seasonal positions, paid at an hourly rate and performing daily operational activities under supervision. Positions require basic skills and the ability to achieve proficiency after a short training period. These positions perform routine, support service tasks. Wages are determined on the basis of internal relationships and market comparisons. Job descriptions relate to the General Office and General Field groups. NOTE: This group is not divisible into levels, leading to the recommendation of a listing of positions 3-679 - l6 - H. SALARY SURVEY During August and September, the Task Force met with personnel staff of Metropolitan Toronto and the Regional Municipalities of Durham, Peel and York; the area municipalities of Vaughan, Markham and North York; the Ministries of Natural Resources and Culture and Recreation; and the provincial Civil Service Commission. The purpose of these meetings was to discuss Authority positions, to identify comparable positions within the external organizations and to collect comparative salary data. In meeting with representatives of each of the above groups, Task Force members described the job tasks, reporting relationships and education and experience required. The personnel representative was then asked to identify a comparable position within their organization and the current job rate for the position. This is accepted practice in determining market comparisons. In undertaking such a survey it was identified that generally identical jobs do not exist from organization to organization. However, comparable positions can be identified in general terms. While the scope or scale of responsibilities may vary to some degree, the overall job "match" can be considered "Tal id . In some instances, a "match" was not possible due to the type of work being performed (eg, par~ management as a Regional responsibility only exists in Metropolitan Toronto) or a large difference in scope or scale of responsibilities (eg, the position of Supervisor, Personnel, ln Peel, is a true supervisor, does not perform actual payroll tasks, supervises the payroll for 7000 employees and has a staff of 5 clerks). The purpose of the survey was to establish a competitive job ra te for positions within the Authority. A number of criteria were identified as generally common in the construction of pay grades, as a result of the interviews. .the "job rate" is generally the maximum of the pay grade (two exceptions - Peel and York - where a merit factor beyond maximum is available) and staff are able to reach maximum within a reasonable time period (2-5 years). . incremental increases are steps between minimum and maximum and arc separate from economic adjustments. While certain organi- zations have instituted complex employee performance appraisal systems to guide supervisors, most incremental increases are automatic if the employee's performance is satisfactory. This is a measurement of the employee's growth to job competency. Such increases are withheld until performance is satisfactory. .economic adjustments to the pay grade occur annually in connection with the adoption of the budget. Incremental adJustments are generally considered on the anniversary date of the incumbent. - 17 - B-6( .the number of steps between minimum and maximum vary according to two considerations - the period of time to reach full job competency and the benefit to the organization of retaining competent and experienced individuals. From discussion, it would appear that at the lower end of the pay system fewer steps are involved to maximum. This reflects a number of factors including the short time period required to train staff and the short time to full job compentency. The opportunity to gain advancement to a higher level must be tied to a job at a higher level being available and the employee having the necessary qualifications for consideration. At the upper levels, the pay grade has more steps which are designed to reflect the greater complexity of the job tasks and the benefit to the organization of long-term job stability. It was stated by personnel staff that a difference of approximately 10-20% between maximum and minimum is average. To reflect the shorter time to job competency, lower level salaries may increase to maximum more rapidly by consideration of incremental advancement on a six-month basis. It should be clear that, in discussing salaries/wages, the Task Force identified that this is only a component of the total compens3tion pa~kage. Section I of this report addresses the other a~pects 01 the total compensation available to Authority staff. In discussing position comparisons with municipal and provincial personnel staff, it became evident that job titles used by the Authority should be reviewed and simplified. In particular, the use of the title "Supervisor" was often misleading as certain of the positions so titled, supervise an activity rather than other personnel: function as a group leader rather than a "true" supervisor: and/or spend the majority of their job time in performing tasks related to "doing the job" rather than supervising others. In order to effectively administer incremental increases, it is necessary for the employee performance appraisal system to be consistently applied. It should be clear that staff are given incremental increases for satisfactory job performance to the job rate. ~he proposed system does not incorporate any recommendation for "merit" beyond job competency. I. OTHER COMPENSATION CONSIDERATIONS While staff salaries/wages represent the major factor of compensation for work performed, a number of other considerations must also be addressed in determining the total compensation package. The Task Force have considered the following as additional components of the Authority's Compensation package. 681 - 18 - 1. Benefits - As part of the salary survey, the Task Force requested information on benefit packages from those surveyed. The Authority carried out a comprehensive review of benefits within the past two years. The benefit package provided by the Authority remains generally competitive with those provided by the surveyed organizations. This factor should continue to be rev iewed frequently. 2. Housing _ Certain staff occupy houses owned by the Authority. In some cases this is a requirement of the job in order to provide on-site security and supervision. A separate staff committee has been reviewing the rental of Authority houses toward recommending a policy for ren tal and relating rentals to th e total compensation package. 3. Vehicles - Where staff are provided with vehicles which are either partially or totally subsidized by the Authority, this forms a part of the total compensation package. Consideration of this factor should address the vehicle value as a total of any subsidized amounts including rental, maintenance and insurance. 4. ~lothing - Where staff are provided with totally subsidized clothing, the 'Jalue of this should be given consid(~ration ion the compensation package. 5. Food and Accommodation - as above in No. 4 It should be recognized that certain of the above may equal to extra duties and responsibilities and provide additional benefit to the organization. Others may be required provisions of the organization under The Occupation Health and Safety Act. It is necessary, however, to evaluate all forms of compensation to fully appreciate the total package. J. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS As a result of classification of positions and the subsequent development of competitive pay grades, three situations may occur in connection with existing salaries: .current salary may be at market value and require no adjustment; .current salary may be below market value and require adjustment; .current salary may be above market value and require adjustment. One objective in implementing all systems is to avoid hardship in the latter case, as this situation is not the fault of the individual, but has usually occurred over time and frequently affects long-term and valued employees. - 19 - B-6~ A number of points should be made with respect to the Authority's current pay structure: .in many instances the maximum (job rate) of the existing pay grades are close to being competitive. The discrepancy is that regular incremental increases have not been given to staff and that many long-term employees (5+ years) are not at maximum (job rate). While the existing evaluation system is due for revision, this factor may be a major part of the perceived ineffectiveness of the system resulting in employee dissatisfaction; .pay grades for positions grouped in the General Office category appear to have maximums (job rate) well above the average market job rate. Actual salaries, however, due to the lack of incremental increases, are, in all but a few cases, below the currently anticipated maximum. While adjustments in pay grade maximums may result in a lowering of anticipated earnings, actual impact should be minimal. .in a number of recent instances, new employees have been brought on staff at, or above, the current actual salary being paid to long-term Authority employees in the same classification level and performing comparable work. While supervisors should have the flexibility to of~er starting salaries above the minimum in 'a pay grade to compensat,e for significant, related work experience or qual i'f ica tions above the minif!\um requirements, this should be reviewed in light of the actual salaries being paid internally for similar work. The fault may lie in the current pay scale and may be an indication of the non-competitive rates being offered, however, to correct this fault by offering equal or higher actual salaries to new employees without a corresponding review and adjustment to the salaries on long-term staff only adds to the internal inequities and to employee dissatisfaction. .in any proposal to establish new pay grades and to place staff at some level within this structure, each incumbent's performance record for the period of time they have been in the position should be considered. For each incumbent, the cost of imple- menting the new system can then be identified and a cumulative cost to the organization calculated. K. ADMINISTRATION The Task Force has identified four alternatives for the administration of the proposed Job Evaluation System. These alternatives apply to the need to establish a formal system to maintain internal equity once a new system has been ~dopted. 1. Present System As stated in earlier sections of this report, supervisors currently recommend that classification of new positions or the reclassification of existing positions to their Administrator who, in turn, recommends to the General Manager. -683 - 20 - These recommendations are subsequently dealt with by the Personnel Sub-Committee of the Executive. The Task Force considers that these decisions have been on an "ad hoc" basis and that little reference is made to justifying such change by comparisons amongst divisions. When viewed in isolation, the rationale for these recommendations may be quite acceptable. The problem, however, is the resulting inequity which may be created amongst divisions. 2. Senior Staff The Senior Staff meet as a committee on a regular basis and are representative of each of the Authority's functional and support divisions. The possibility of requiring each Administrator to seek approval of this committee for any classification or reclassification was discussed. The Task Force identified some concern with the use of this forum in that the review of any proposal could become very subjective basep on individual divisional bias. While each member is very familia~ with the tasks and responsibilities of their staff, th~y may not be s"ff; ciently ifamiliar with other groups. Further, this committee currently has a considerable amount of adminiptrative detail to consider and the addition of this function,would only add to that Qurden. 3. P~rsonnel Officer Consideration has been given to the need to employ a Personnel Officer to deal, in a comprehensive manner, with all personnel related matters. While this proposal has considerable merit in providing an area of expertise not presently on staff, the Task Force has identified that a good personnel generalist, capable of assuming such responsibilities would have to be paid a salary in the range of $27,000 - $34,000 plus equal support costs. Further, this position would best function as one reporting directly to the General Manager, as opposed to being part of any functional or support division. This is in keeping with the operation of such function in the organiza- tions interviewed and is based on the need for a non-partisan approach to personnel matters. In dealing with classification or reclassification, the personnel officer would require the assistance of line staff. This is best achieved through a committee of 3 to 5 with the Officer acting as Chairman to formulate recommendations. 4. Classification Committee The Task Force identified the possibility of establishing a special staff committee reporting to the General Manager with respect to classification and compensation matters. It was suggested that a committee representative of staff, able to understand the concepts embodied in the proposed system and capable of assuming a non-partisan approach could advise the General Manager. - 21 - B-684 The effective operation of such a group would depend not only upon their own abilities, but also upon acceptance by all personnel of their objectivity, in addressing such matters. Their participation in this capacity would have to be separated from their day-to-day responsibilities in order to permit independent action. It is assumed that they would meet only as required and that their recommendations would be based on a comprehensive review across the organization. On the basis of the recommendations, the General Manager would make the final decision. The 'l'ask Force rejects alternatives No. 1 and 2 and recommends alternative No. 4 as the means of administering the system for a trial period of one year. The option of employing a personnel officer is seen as the mos t desirable, however, the Classification Committee is recommended for a trial basis period based on the following: .cost effective use of existing staff; .anticipated financial implication of implementing proposed evaluation system; .additional costs required to employ a capable personnel officer. ~, . tol I 0'\ 00 U1 COMPENSABLr: r'ACTORS Juuyment - Knowledge (Decision-Making) Accountability Contacts - scope of functional - freedom for making - input into program - nature and purpose of knowledge decisions within variable obJectives and policy contacts type of and - range of operational areas dimensions - commitment and control of reason for communications Critical over which understanding - discretion required in resources - level and authority of Variables and experience required resolving and identifying - impact of error contacts: status of problems individual contacted - complexity of decision- making process Formal Education - nature, extent and - extent of responsibility - nature of contacts in - knowledge gained through availability of management for directing staff and of terms of organizational academic, technical or direction responsibility for perfor- hierarchy internal to same professional training in - availability of direction mance, professional and other organizations general or specific and guidance from authori- competence and technical - level of external contacts subject areas tative reference sources accuracy - extent of contacts with - predictability of resuJts - commitment and utilization the public I Elements Skills - requirement for devising of financial and material - purpose of contacts to - knowledge, approaches, new and innovative resources - information sought or IV Consider practices and techniques approaches - extent of input into exchanged IV gained through experience - variety of alternative program objectives and - authority exercised I - application of theory choices of action policy - complexity and import I - administration of policy - extent of coordination - impact of decisions on to both parties and procedure necessary (number of program effectiveness - formulation of planning professional, technical and research references and administrative areas - utilization of and personnel involved) administrative skills - exercise of communica- tion skills KNOWLEDGE is expressed in JUDGMENT is expressed in ACCOUNTABILITY is expressed CONTACTS are expressed in terms of education, skills terms of the difficult or in terms of contributions terms of frequency, nature and experience complex situations resolved made, direction given, and purpose in relation to resources utilized various levels and authori- ties both internal and external I '- - 23 - B-686 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: 1- all Autho~ity jobs be classified in one system; 2. a combined Job Classification and Job Ranking System be adopted; 3. the classification system for all Authority employees be based on: Categories Groups Levels Regular Staff General Office 5 General Field 4 Technical/Professional 4 Supervisory/Management 5 Supplementary Staff Contract/Seconded * - Program * ..

The projects were adopted in accordance with the policies and procedures set out in the Authority's Watershed Plan which was adopted by the Authority on December 5, 1980, approved by the member municipalities and the Province of Ontario The projects were submitted to the Province of Ontario on May 28, 1981 for approval by the Minister, in accordance with the Policy and Procedures Manual. The Authority to date has not received approval of any of the projects and the following is an outline of the present status as understood by the staff. Erosion Control and Bank Stabilization 1982-1984 - Minister approval cannot be given to these projects prior to approval by the Minister of the Environment. - Authority has submitted a Class Environmental Assessment for these projects to the Minister of the Environment on 1981 05 29 and has received an acknowledgement of same 1981 06 22 - Authority has been advised by Ministry of the Environment staff that all cormnents resulting from circulation of the document have been received and the Ministry report i~ being prepared - Following the Minis':ry of the Environment report there is a 30-day waiting period for publil. comment, further review by the Ministry and then a decision by the Minister for approval, approval with conditions, or rejection. - ?rojects have been reviewed by the Central Region Ministry of Natural Resources, but have not been forwarded to the Conservation Authorities Branch, pending E.A. approval - Ontario Municipal Board approval is required, however, application cannot be made prior to receiving th e M A Land Acquisition 1982-1984 - Project has been processed through the Central Region Office, MNR and approval has been recommended to the Conservation Authorities and Water Management Branch. - Ministry of Natural Resources staff have advised that they recommend the project be held for onward processing through the Minister and Management Board until normal budget submissions are going through (November - December 1981). - Ontario Municipal Board approval is required, however, application cannot be made prior to receiving the M A Lake Ontario Waterfront Development 1982-1986 - Project has been forwarded to the Conservation Authorities and Water Management Branch with a recommendation for approval by the Regional Director (1981 09 03 ) - Project has been forwarded to the Minister for approval 1981.11.13. - Ontario Municipal Board approval is required, however, application cannot be made prior to receiving the M A - 2 - B-6~O Shoreline Management Project 1982-1983 - All of the description regarding approvals and impacts described for Waterfront Development apply to Shoreline Management with the following additions. - Project for provincial purposes has been linked with waterfront development and is being put forward at a 50% grant rate to be consistent with previous waterfront work and existing provincial policy. The staff are particularly concerned with the status of the Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Project 1982-1986 and the Shoreline Management Project 1982-1983. The existing authorization for expenditures expires on Deccmber 31, 1981 and the Authority will not be in a legal position to expend funds without authorization of the projects. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto's share of both projects is funded from their capital budget and accordingly, Ontario Municipal Board approval is required The Authority must certify to the Ontario Municipal Board that no funds have been expended on a project that has been submitted to the Board for approval. There are no alternative means of funding Waterfront expenditures beyond December 31, 1981 The projects include funding of staff costs assigned to the Waterfront work The following action has been taken in an attempt to facilitate the consideration and approval of the projects 1. Letter was sent to The Honourable Alan W. Pope, Minister of Natural Resources and Mr W T Foster, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources on 1981.07.02., requesting an opportunity to make a presentation to them and senior members of their staff concerning the projects. 2.

The policy was implemented by the Authority in Nay 1973 after considerable study including a review of the policies of other agencies and jurizdictions The market rental rate and the cost of maint'?nallce of the houses have changed considerably since 1973 and it is essential to review the policy to more adequately reflect present conditions Discussions have been held with the Authority's solicitor and the Resident~al Tenancy Commission and there appears to be no legal impediment preventing the implementation of an updated policy The proposed policy should be implemented in stages in order to avoid undue hardship ~nd possible loss of valued staff The Ministry of Natural Resources Policy and Procedures Manual states that all rentals by Conservation Authorities should be at Mar~et Rent The manual also states t~ at in those cases where an Authoritv provioes buildings or land to Authority staff at no cost or at a moderate fee, the difference between the actual charge and the market value for such rental must be shown as a taxable benefit given to the employee It is the conclusion of the Staff Committee that the following items are worthy of compensation 1 Requirement of ^uthority tor the employee to live in a specific location; 2.

B-74l Appendix 1 SCHEDULE "A" REPORT ON THE 1981 MARKETING PROGRAM THE LONG-TERM MARKET I NG PLAN, DEVELOPED It! 1980 TO PROMOTE THE CONSERVATION AREAS, BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE AND THE KORTRIGHT CENTRE FOR CONSERVATION, HAS PRODUCED SOME GRATIFYING RESULTS, IT HAS ALSO PROVIDED SOME VERY USEFUL EXPERIENCE FOR THE INFORI1ATION SECTION IN THIS RELATIVELY NEW AREA OF ENDEAVOUR, COUPLED WITH IMAGINATIVE PROGRAMMING BY THE KORTRIGHT STAFF, THE MARKETII~G PLAN HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN ACHIEVING STEADY INCREASES IN ATTENDANCE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AT THE CONSERVATIDtI CENTRE, THE EST ABU SHMEiH OF A SELECTI ON OF THE MCM I CHAEL CANAD I AI~ COLLECTI ON AT THE CENTRE HAS BROUGHT HIGHER PROFILE TO THE FACILITY. AT BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE, THERE HAS BEEN A DECREASF IN REVENUE, ALONG WITH A LOWER A TTENDAIKE . AND, WHILE A COUPLE OF CONSERVATION AREAS EXPERIENCED LOWER VISITOR NUMBERS THAN A YEAR AGO, OTHERS HAD VERY GOOD GAINS AND ALMOST ALL IMPROVED THEIR REVENUES. INDIAN LINE CAMPGROUND AND GLEN HAFFY MADE SUBSTANTIAL GAINS. THESE ACCOMPLISH- MEIITS HERE f1ADE II'~ THE FACE OF GREATLY INCREASED COMPETITION FROM OTHER REGlOil ATTRACTIONS, TROUBLED ECONOMIC TIMES AND, WEATHER\4ISL . AN ALMOST DISASTROUS LATE SUMMER AND EARLY FALL. B-742 - 2 - BECAUSE~ AS YOU KNOW~ WE ARE AWAITING THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE WOODS~ GORDON CONSULTANTS~ REGARDING THE DIRECTION THE MARKETING EFFORT SHOULD TAKE IN THE FUTURE~ THE MARKETING PLAN THIS YEAR HAS ADHERED TO OUR TRADITIONAL PROMOTIONAL VEHICLES. THE DIFFERENCE HAS BEEN THAT~ WHILE WE HAVE BEEN DOING MORE OF THE SAME~ WE BELIEVE WE HAVE BEEN DOING IT MUCH BETTER. THE PAST YEAR HAS SEEN A STEADY FLOW OF SPECIAL NEWS RELEASES~ PHOTO SPREADS~ EYE-CATCHING FLYERS AND POSTERS, FEATURE MAGAZINE AND NEWSPAPER RELEASES AND RADIO AND TV SPOTS. EMPHASIS HAS BEEN GIVEN TO CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEDIA INTERVIEWS AND THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN BROUGHT INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES THROUGH SPECIAL EXHIBITS MADE AVAILABLE \ TO SHOPPING MALLS~ CONSUMER SHOWS AND AT VARIOUS OTHER FUNCTIONS. ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES OF OUR MARKETING STAFF HAVE BEEN INTERSPERSED WITH THE SUBSTANTIAL ACCUMULATION AND PREPARATION OF DATA FOR USE BY WOODS, GORDON IN THEIR STUDY, THE INFORMATION SECTION EMPLOYED THREE STUDENTS TO MAKE A SURVEY OF THE OPERATIONS OF BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE~ THE KORTRIGHT CENTRE B-~4 3 - 3 - FOR CONSERVATION ArlD THE CONSERVATION AREAS, THE MARKETING . AND INFORMATION OFFICER SPENT CONSIDERABLE TIME MANAGING THE SURVEYS. THE RESULTING INFORMATION HAS PROVIDED NOT ONLY AN IMPORTANT PROFILE OF THESE OPERATIONS BUT HAS ALSO BEEN QUITE . USEFUL TO OTHER DIVISIONS OF THE AUTHORITY IN IDENTIFYING PROBLEM AREAS IN THEIR OPERATIONS. NOW, HAVING TOUCHED BRIEFLY ON WHAT WE FEEL HAS BEEN A PRODUCTIVE SECOND YEAR FOR OUR MARKETING PROGRAM, LET ME SAY WE ARE NOT NEARLY SO SATISFIED THAT WE FEEL WE CAN RELAX, THERE SEEMS TO BE NO If'lMINENT UPTURN Il~ THE ECONOMY IN SIGHT. AS WE PROGRESS TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE DECADE, RAPIDLY RISING ENERGY COSTS WILL ABSORB AI~ INCREASINGLY GREATER PORTION OF THE CONSUMER DOLLAR, EITHER DIRECTL~ FOR TRANSPORTATION AND HEAT, OR INDIRECTLY, THROUGH THEIR EFFECT ON OTHER COMMODITIES, AS A RESULT, . RECREATIOH FACILITIES ARE LIKELY TO BE AMONG THE FIRST TO SUFFER AS PURSE STRINGS TIGHTEN. B-744 - 4 - IF WE ARE TO MAINTAIN OR INCREASE ATTENDANCE AND REVENUE FIGURES, AT OR TO SATISFACTORY LEVELS IN THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS, AN ALL-OUT PROMOTIONAL EFFORT ON BEHALF OF THESE MAJOR RECREATION ACTIVITIES OF THE AUTHORITY WILL BE A MUST, BUT, IN ADDITION, IT WILL BE ESSENTIAL TO DEVELOP APPROPRIATE, INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING FAMILY PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A VARIETY OF I~EW AND DIFFERENT MARKETING IDEAS TO COMPLEMENT OUR PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS, TODAY, AS WE HAVE SAID, NEIGHBOURING COMMERCIAL ATTRACTIONS ARE EXERTING NOTICEABLE COMPETITIVE PRESSURE. TOMORROW, WE COULD FIND OURSELVES IN A MUCH HARSHER SITUATION, THIS OUTLOOK HAS BROUGHT US TO THE BRINK OF A NUMBER OF DECISIONS THAT, IN ONE INSTANCE, REPRESENT A 180-DEGREE CHANGE IN D I RECTI ON FOR US W THE AREA OF PROMOTI ON. . THROUGHOUT ITS 25- YEAR H I STORY, THE METRO POL IT AN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY HAS BEEN DEPENDENT UPON ACCEPTANCE OF ITS INFORMATIONAL MATERIAL BY THE MEDIA FOR PROMOTION OF ITS PUBLIC RECREATION FACILITIES, OVER THE YEARS, THE MEDIA HAS B-745 - 5 - BEEN REMARKABLY GENEROUS IN ITS SUPPORT OF THE AUTHORITY. BY PROVIDIi~G A PROFESSIONAL APPROACH TO ITS PUBLIC RELATIONS AND INFORMATION EFFORTS, THE AUTHORITY HAS EARNED THE ATTENTIOI~ AND EMPATHY OF THE PRESS AND THE ELECTRONIC MEDIA. THE QUESTION WE NOW FACE IS' MUST WE NOW TAKE A FURTHER STEP, AS OUR COMMERCIAL COMPETITORS DO, AND BEGIN BUYING ADVERTISING SPACE AND/OR TIME IN ORDER TO FULLY PROMOTE OUR PRODUCTS? THIS QUESTION PRESENTS THE AUTHORITY WITH A RATHER IMPORTANT DECISION. WE HAVE ALREADY STUCK A RELUCTANT TOE INTO THE BECKONIi~G WATERS OF COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING, USING CERTAIN SPECIALIZED PUBLICATIor~S TO INFORM THE PUBLIC OF SPECIFIC EVENTS GERMANE TO THEIR AUDIENCES. BUT, WHAT HAPPENS IF WE VENTURE FURTHER INTO THE fOND? WILL WE JEOPARDIZE THE GOODWILL OF EDITORS AND RADIO AND TV PRODUCERS WHOSE PUBLICATIONS OR SHOWS WE HAVE PASSED OVER FOR ADVERTISING? WILL WE DISCOVER THAT THE GAINS WE MAKE BY ADVERTISING FAR OUr,~EIGH THE RISK OF . B-746 - 6 - OFFEND I NG OLD F R I ENDS? OR~ IH LL WE I NDEED ~ FIND WE IIA VE IWT ONLY LOST SOME OF THE FREE SUPPORT WE ONCE HAD, BUT IIAVE CLIMBED ABOARD A COSTLY MERRY-GO-ROUND UPON WHICH, ONCE SEATED, WE CANNOT JUMP OFF? I THE DECISION REGARDING PAID ADVERTISING WILL BE INFLUENCED~ TO A LARGE DEGREE, BY THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CONSULTANTS' REPORL OF COURSE. BUT, IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS~ THE DECISION WILL HAVE TO BE MADE BY AUTHORITY MANAGEMENT. REGARDLESS OF THE DECISION MADE, HOWEVER~ THE IMPORTANCE OF A CONTI NU Ii~G I1ARKETI NG EFFORL DIRECTED TOWARD REACH Ir~G AS MANY OF THE PUBLIC AS POSSIBLE WITH THE CONSERVATION MESSAGE~ AS PORTRAYED AT BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE, THE KORTRIGHT CENTRE AND THE CONSERVATION AREAS~ WILL HAVE TOP PRIORITY. , B-747 APPENDIX "A" MARKETING PLAN 1981 PROGRESS REPORT - JANUARY TO DECEMBER PUBLICITY NUMBER TOTAL NEWS RELEASES no 46J500 PHOTO RELEASES 16 5J200 FLYERS 39 160JOOO COLU~1NS 7 7 NEWSLETTERS 2 5JOOO POSTERS 4 6JOOO SUMMER BROCHURE (BLACK CREEKJ 1 12JOOO KORTRIGHT AI~D AREAS) DESIGI~ED AND PRODUCED, FOR DISTRIBUTIONJ MAP FOR EACH CONSERVATlOr~ AREA 35JOOO RE-DESIGNEDJ UPDATED AND PRINTED GLEN HAFFY BROCHURE 7JOOO UPDATED AUTHORITY'S GENERAL BROCHURE FOR RE-PRIIHING 100JOOO FILMING FOR 60-SECOND TV PROMOTIONS ON SUMMER ACTIVITIES IN THE CONSERVATION AREAS FILMII~G AND PRODUCTION OF 50-SECOND TV PROMOTIONS ON MAPLE SYRUP CARR I ED OUT ARRAIIGEMENTS AND NECESSARY STAFF I NG AND SUPERVISION FOR SUMMER VISITOR SURVEY AND STUDY (WOODSJ GORDON) RECEIVED SAMPLE PRESS CLIPS FROM THE AUTHORITY'S PRESS CLIPPING SERVICE 3J255 B-748 - 2 - DISTRIBUTION OF PROMOTIONAL LITERATURE THROUGH- OUT THE WATERSHED - MAY TO SEPTEMBER (EXPERIENCE '81 STUDENT AND VEHICLE) NOTE PRESS AND PHOTO RELEASES WERE DELIVERED DURING THE MAIL STRIKE SEASONAL DISTRIBUTION OF TV 50-SECOND PROMOTIONAL PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS. <BLACK CREEK TO TV STATIONS IN ONTARIOj KORTRIGHT AND CONSERVATION AREAS TO TV STATIONS IN THE AUTHORITY'S WATERSHED) 152 SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION OF BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE BROCHURE IN LATE AUGUST - METROJ NIAGARAJ KITCHENER (BROCHURES UNLIMITED) 60JOOO EXHIBITS AND DISPLAYS HERE SET UP AT EATON CENTRE (4 EXHIBITS) SOTHEBY'S (B.C.P.V.)

Although this recommendation is not within the purview of the ~Ietropoli tan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the staff agree that the Government of Ontario, through the Ontario ~Iinistry of Heal th, investigate the development of regulations for open water areas Recommendation #2 THAT l.n thc interim, all persons or agencies operating open water swimwing areas shaLl consult with reco nized water safet rouos such as the Red Cross, Royal Lifesaving Society, etc as to the nee s in their partl.cular area The Authority in designing and developing its swimming facilities have utilized the Canadian Red Cross Society in the layout and operating procedures fo reach swimming faciE ty These facilities have periodically been reviewed by the Red Cross and as a result of the drowning incident, were reviewed again in June of 1981 During the summer of 1980, the Committee of Supervisors of the Conscrvation Field Centres, the Safety Officer of the Authority and Joyclyn Palm, the Executive Di rector of the Royal Lifesaving Society of Canada, developed policies and procedures for Conservation Field Centres Education Programs including swimming, instructional canoeing at the Lake St George Conservation Field Centre and academic lake studies using small craft, excluding canoeing, at the Lake St George Conservation Field Centre Recommendation ~3 TH^~ all major activities contemplated on a field trip held at a Field Centre or Conservation School be listed on a pre-planning report and that any changes whiCh would1nclude activJ.ty of a hazardous nature, must be approved by the Safety Officer for the Metro Conservation Authorl.ty The Committee agrees that all major activities conte~plated on the field trip held at a Field Ccntre or Conservation School be listed on a pre-planning report 'l'h e vis J ti n g teach, r recei ves a copy at the tim<:! of the pre-plan There would be no changes of a watcr related activity made in this report and the pre-planniny report would list all and only those activities that will be under- taken by the group during their period of stay at the Field Centre The Safety Officer will periodically review the program, the activity, and the facility at all Conscrvation Field Ccntres Recommenda ti on #4 ----- --~-- TIlAT th~ areas of authority of all persons directly involved with the field tri E....sh~!_J)e clearly stated on the pre-planning re~ ] twas agrecd that the following practice would be undertaken 1 AU fK r.sons directly involved with the development and conducting of field trip activities scheduled to take place on or in water shall receive a copy of thc Authority's "\'later Safety Guidelines" /cont'd REPORT OF THE \~ATER SAFETY REVIE.W COMMITTEE B-760 Page -2 2 The program pre-planning is the area of authority/responsibility of the Conservation Education Supervisor and the visiting teacher The approval of the program is the responsibility of the Conservation Education Super- visor 3 The carrying out of the program as pre-planned is the area of authority/ responsibility of the Conservation Education Supervisor and/or designate(s) wi th assistance from the visiting teacher(s) and/or group leader(s). 4.

Recommendation #12 THA~parents be in~ormed of any serious difficulties their child may have in water related activities The visiting teacher must accept the responsibility of advising parents of any serious difficulties their child may have in water related activities and this will be identified as a prerequisite in the pre-planning program if a water related activity is included AUTHORITY PROGRAMS The staff commitble, in reviewing the Jury's recoJ11Jr.endations on the Field Centre activities recognized that a complete review of all water related activities and the development of guidelines for these activities was necessary The swimming facilities developed by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conser- vation Authority have been set up, as previously mentioned, in consultation with the Canadian Red Cross Each one of the lifeguards are easily identified by the wearing apparel that is supplied during their period of employment, they are instructed in the use of P A systems, telephones, etc that can only be used for emergencies 1\11 guards must be at least 16 years of age and have qualifications that are in effect until the end of the swimming season, with a minimum of a bronze medallion or a higher award issued by the Canadian Red Cross or the Royal Lifesaving Society of Canada Safety procedures for the beach and the use of all safety equipment that is supplied is checked by the lifeguards each morning and the beach area itself is checked to ensure that the markers are in place, the beach area is clean of glass or other debris and the lifeguard staff are to notify the Superintendent of the Area of any problcms that exist at that point All emergencies are handled according to the specific set of rules and regulations and a complete record is taken of any incidcnt that might take place during the period of time that the beach area is open 1\ manual idcntifying all the rules and regulations of the Authority for the operation of a swimming area is provided for each lifeguard employed and a meeting of lifeguards provides them with a review and an opportunity to discuss any literature associated with this program . In the review of our swimming facilities carried out by the Canadian Red Cross Society in June of 1981, the Society recOlmnended that there is a need for increased staff in our swimming facilities to provide better and more adequate supervision, and trainin0 to upgrade the lifeguards that we do hire on staff to the Ni1tional Lifeguard Service level The report also identified a need to improve the communj.ca tion system primarily for crowd control in specific areas and for the warning for emergency procedures to be undertaken They also suggested that the use of paddleboards be incorporated in all our swimming areas to assist in rescue attempts The suggestions of the Canadian Red Cross Society will be considered in the 1982 swimming season The Staff Committee therefore recomwends / con t ' d REPORT OF TIIr. \'JAT[;R SAFETY REVI I:W COl~lITTEr: B-762 Pagc -4 1.
