An existing trailer and storage shed, presently being used as the marina office and store, will be demolished as part of the proposed works. Only the western third of the subject property is located within the Fill Regulated area of Frenchman's Bay Only a small portion of the shoreline area is within the flood plain. Control of Flooding: The shoreline portion of the property is affected by the 100 year Lake Ontario flood plain. Based on up-to-date geodetic information provided by the applicant's consultant, the proposed building will be situated outside the shoreline flood plain (the existing shed and trailer to be removed are also outside the flood plain) However, in accordance with the Provincial Policy Statement Technical Guidelines- Section 3 - for Hazard Lands (also includes in-land LakelBay shoreline areas), a development setback of 15 metres from the 100 year shoreline flood plain elevation is required for proposed buildings and structures. The 15 metres setback requirement can be reduced if a coastal study is undertaken, addressing potential hazards at this location such as the analysis of the existing stable shoreline treatment and verification of flood/Wave uprush limits. The applicant has decided to move the proposed building beyond the 15 metres setback zone; therefore, the required coastal study will not be required in support of the proposed works. No fill material will be placed within the flood plain (all excavated fill will be removed from the site) Therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works. Pollution. Sedimentation is not expected as part of the proposed works, since the construction only involves the excavation of fill material for the new building foundation. In addition, the existing elevated concrete and block walls surrounding the construction site will prevent any construction-generated sediments from entering the Frenchman's Bay Conservation of Land: No resource features will be impacted by the proposed works; all disturbed areas will be stabilized(revegetated following construction. 828 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/00 February 11 , 2000 Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.2.2(E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, as well as the Provincial Policy Statement for shoreline Hazards.

Proposed Restoration Plan dated February 2000 prepared by MacViro. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information. Proposal. The purpose is to alter a watercourse through the placement of a 900 mm corrugated steel pipe (CSP) culvert downstream of the trench for a temporary crossing to allow construction equipment to cross the channel, and through the blocking of the channel for a total length of 12m up and downstream of the 2m wide trench with clear stone encased in polyethylene in order to facilitate the placement of a 750mm diameter concrete pipe sanitary sewer at a depth of 3.3m below the creek bed The entire project of the York Sanitary sewer extends from Hwy 407 and Warden Avenue northwesterly to Leslie Street and Major MacKenzie This section of the project is in the southern area. Although the site is proposed within the fill line extension program the subject site is not presently fill regulated-area or-within a Regional floodplain Control of Flooding There are no flooding concerns. Documentation submitted by MacViro indicated to TRCA staff that the sizing of the culvert would accommodate frequent flows. Once the sewer pipe has been installed the trench will be immediately backfilled and graded to match existing contours; therefore, there will not be a loss of flood storage. February 11, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/00 835 Pollution: There are no sediment concerns. During the creek crossing a channel dam consisting of clear stone encased in polyethylene will be installed up and down stream of the 2m trench Channel flow will be pumped if necessary and discharge from the by-pass pumping will be into a sediment basin. In the north, sediment fencing runs parallel to the western side of the stream and in the south runs parallel to both sides of the proposed sanitary sewer location at a distance 10m The location of the proposed sanitary sewer was determined during the Environmental Assessm~nt process, therefore, concerns related to meander belt, erosion zones and slope instability have been addressed Conservation of Land TRCA staff have reviewed the proposal and have requested additional details to ensure that the works do not result in a harmful alteration, destruction or disruption of fish habitat (HADD) Once the details are received to TRCA's satisfaction a letter of advice will be issued.

B36 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/00 February 11 . 2000 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal The proposal consists of excavating and replacing fill material as part of the installation of a 2100 millimetre diameter trunk sanitary sewer Authority staff had previously reviewed an Environmental Assessment Act (EM) application (File CFN 25937) for the entire route of the proposed trunk sanitary sewer project. The entire project extends from Highway 407 and Warden Avenue northwesterly to Leslie Street and Major MacKenzie Drive. The construction of the sewer has been divided into five separate contracts due to the availability of land and the large capital cost associated with the project. At this time, the Region of York is proceeding with this section of the trunk sanitary sewer installation from Highway 404 to Leslie Street. For the most part, the sewer will occur within the Fill Regulated Area of the Rouge River; however, some sections will be within the Regional Storm flood plain Control of Flooding: All post-construction grades will match pre-c:levelopment ground elevations along the trunk sanitary sewer installation route. Therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works. Pollution. The entire working easement will be isolated by silt fencing to impede the overland migration of construction-generated sediments. In addition, settling pond sediment traps will be used for dewatering of the open trench where necessary Staff are awaiting details from the Project Manager from MacViro concerning possibility of excess groundwater flow problems and considering the recent concern with the high groundwater table. Conservation of Land: Through staffs review of the EM application, the proposed route was carefully chosen to eliminate interference with steep portions of the Rouge River valley corridor and riparian zone areas. The majority of the route will follow gentler portions of the valley wall and will limit disturbances of existing valley vegetation The trunk sanitary sewer will be augured beneath the one steep (and well- vegetated) section of valley wall found at the north end of this contract. All valley vegetation disturbed by the proposed works will be replaced with native woody species and ground covers. Policv Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program and the related EM application for this project.

The Tender Opening Sub-Committee opened tenders on January 28, 2000 for the supply and delivery of 300 to 450 mm rip rap stone and recommended that all tenders be referred to staff for review and report. Moved by' John Adams Seconded by' Ron Moeser THAT Tender ES00-01 for the supply and delivery of approximately 3,300 to"nes of 300 to 450 mm rip rap stone at a total unit cost of $14.74 per tonne (excluding GST) be awarded to J. C. Rock . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .~. . . . . . . . . . . . .. ............................... CARRIED BACKGROUND The City of Mississauga completed a Storm Water Quality Study in November 1995. This study identified Watershed Management Pond (Facility #22) as a priority for retrofit. The TRCA, in partnership with the City of Mississauga, has undertaken implementation of Phase I of this project which includes; the excavation and disposal of approximately 12,500 cubic metres of material, construction of an earth berm and installation of approximately 3,300 tonnes of rip rap protection. Five suppliers were invited to submit bids for the supply and delivery of approximately 3,300 tonnes of 300 to 450 mm of rip rap stone A total of three bids were received. RATIONALE Staff have reviewed the Tenders and recommended that the contract be awarded to J CRock, being the lowest Tender received, for the supply and delivery of rip rap stone at a unit price of $14 74 per tonne including all applicable taxes except GST FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds are available in account 112-32 Report prepared by: Mark Preston (416) 392-9722 For information contact: Jim Berry (416) 392-9721 Date: February 2, 2000 842 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/00 February 11 , 2000 RES.#B13/00 - EVALUATION OF HIGH RATE TREATMENT OF COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOWS - NORTH TORONTO DEMONSTRATION PROJECT Hire of consultant to analyse baseline monitoring data and serve as a project advisor Moved by' John Adams Seconded by' Ron Moeser THAT David Averill of Questor Veritas Inc. be retained to provide consulting services to the Authority's SWAMP Program for the North Toronto Combined Sewer Overflow High Rate Treatment Demonstration Project at a cost not to exceed $15,100 plus GST . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The High Rate Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Treatment Project, being conducted at the City of Toronto's North Toronto Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), is a continuation of a pilot project started in 1994. The initial project was led by the former City of Scarborough, Ministry of the Environment, and Environment Canada. It studied the performance of a CSO treatment technology, called a Vortex Separator, which was installed on a pilot basis at a Scarborough Works Yard near Taylor- Massey Creek. The study found that the Vortex Separator was very effective at removing coarse solids and grit, but was poor at removing total suspended solids (TSS) As the Provincial CSO Policy specifies a removal criterion for suspended solids, the study was extended in order to investigate alternative designs that may enhance TSS removal. One promising alternative involves the addition of a chemical polymer, similar to that used in Water Filtration Plants, that promotes coagulation of solids. This process was successfully tested at the Massey Creek pilot site, and in 1998 plans were made to test the process at the CSO Detention Tank at the North Toronto STP to see if the technology could be transferred to other locations. The North Toronto High Rate CSO Treatment Project is an initiative of the City of Toronto, Ministry of the Environment and Environment Canada In 1999, the Authority's Stormwater Assessment and Monitoring Performance (SWAMP) Program was contracted to assist in the technology evaluation by carrying out baseline monitoring and ongoing sample collection. The SWAMP Program is an initiative of the Authority, Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of Transportation, Environment Canada, and the Municipal Engineers Association, aimed at evaluating new and innovative stormwater management technologies. The SWAMP Program Steering Committee has identified a need to hire consulting services to analyse baseline data, prepare a baseline monitoring study report, and provide advice during the completion of the evaluation project at the North Toronto site. February 11 , 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/00 B43 RATIONALE The SWAMP Program Steering Committee has recommended that David Averill of Questor Veritas Inc. is the best qualified individual to carry out the services required. Mr Averill served as project manager for the High Rate Treatment evaluation, since its beginnings in 1994 Mr Averill had been employed with Water Technology International, which held a federal government contract for the High Rate CSO Treatment project until March, 1999 Mr Averill now operates his own private consulting firm He has over 25 years experience in wastewater treatment technologies and is a world-renowned expert in chemical coagulation. Considering that this is the final year of a six year project, it would take anyone other than Mr Averill a significant amount of time to become familiar with the project history to such a point that they could provide effective advice and reliable interpretation of results. Consequently, it is likely that the engagement of any other person to carry out this task would result in a higher cost in consulting fees. BENEFITS Improved understanding of the performance of combined sewer overflow treatment technologies will assist the City of Toronto in the development and implementation of its Wet Weather Flow Master Plan. Remediation of CSOs has been identified as a high priority by the Don and Humber River Watershed Strategies and the Toronto and Region Remedial Action Plan. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding has been provided by Environment Canada's Great Lakes 2000 Clean Up Fund, as part of its 1999-2000 grant in support of the SWAMP Program These funds are available in account 121- 30.

More recently, my husband and I have used it for educatIOnal putposes for OUI own children and the students at Valleyfield and Westmount Schools. I am very disturbed that any undertaking that could have an impact on the health of the (environmentally SIgnificant) Valley has not been offered to the public for consultation. It seems obvious to me that the City is trying to get this permit application approved as quietly as possible. Luckily, the residents of the Chapman Valley community got wind of the application and were able to voice some of our objections. I have been overwhelmed by the response of the community and their determination to keep the Chapman Valley intact. I can guarantee an impressive turnout at the public meeting, when called. The Road To Nowhere serves no putpose that I can determine as it's application stands. As a road usually has a destination at the end, we fear that this piece is only the beginning. Further, there are river and creek beds all across the City which will need to have service needs addressed. I was dismayed to see you quoted as saymg "ifwe hadn't approved the road, (works) would have pushed for the larger oneil am I wrong to believe that TRCA has the final say? .2 March 3, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 B52 I In September 1999, Councillor Giansante wrote to you on behalf of the residents requestmg a public meeting. I don't understand why an application is being considered without our community having a chance to be heard. Furthermore, the Works Department has allocated 1.5 million to naturalize the Sun Row Commumty Action Site, which is modelled after the natural state of the Chapman Valley Is seems a contradiction to spend money to improve the health of one part of the stream, while threatening the pristine state of another part. Lastly, I cannot fathom why the City would jeopardize such a Jewel as the Chapman Valley, after being designated the Greenest City ill the world by Nations in Bloom. - I am. making a formal request to be heard at the Executive Committee meeting of the Authority on March 3,2000, where this applicatIOn will be heard. I will be requesting that the application be deferred.

I totally oppose the building of any access road in the valley or into the valley, regardless of the road's composition, location, and purpose. In the past, city service vehicles have been able to traverse the ravine along current access points without impacting the natural beauty and wildlifeof the valley There is no reason why city works staff cannot continue to carry out their activities in a similar manner I trust you agree with this position and ask you both to strongly object to this unnecessary and destructive initiative.

Students from Scarlett Heights, Hilltop and Westmount Schools 'Use the valley for nature studies, Many photographers enjoy taking pictures of the creek because of It's uniqueness. (I believe that the Humber River poster features a photo of the Chapman Valley taken by the TRCA photographer) Amateur fossil hunters enjoy the wonderful bed of shale. M9st people walking thfough the valley respect thBir surroundings by picking up garbage, scooping after their dog. Why spoil such a wonderful area with a road, In closing, I feel that the access road would harm our neighborhood greatly There must be a public meeting, where thB community can Bxpress it's conoerns. Please take heed to this request.

I am writing because I am very concerned about the City's intent to build a road into the Chapman Valley to provide access to the works department. I am shocked that you would even consider building a road in such a beautiful, peaceful green space in Toronto. We as citizens should try our hardest to keep our few remaining green spaces in the City There aren't enough of them. I know that area is home to many small animals and birds as well as many kinds of trees and plant life. I live in the surrounding area and have always considered it a great benefit to be able to walk down there and experience the peace and tranquility it provides. In an age where we have so many stresses in our lives, we need more places like the Chapman Valley to go and collect our thoughts and bring us in touch with nature. We certainly don't need roads leading to and disrupting them. I am very dissappointed in those who think this would be an improvement. Since they have obviously managed all these years without access roads I am quite sure they would manage just as well in the future. If it takes a little extra effort, so be it. Often, something worth saving is worth a little extra effort, I am also concemed if a road did go in, it is sure to attract unsavoury characters as it would be a place to do business or other activities without r - any eyes monitoring them. In short, it would invite trouble. We don't need that kind of trouble, we have more than enough already I urge you once again to rethink this matter It is very important to all of us who live in the surrounding neighbourhoods that you 'eave the valley alone and let us continue to enjoy it rather than having one more place to worry about.

Humber Creek I have on numerous occasions in the past expressed my concern for the protection and preservation of our Natural Heritage both to City officials and T R.C.A. staff The proposed Works Department storm sewer access road improvements in the Chapman Valley, Humber Creek would be highly destructive of what is being used as a model for stream corridor natural restoration and protection It would also be another in a growing chain of intrusions upon environmentally sensitive areas and on naturally regenerated sites While sewer access is necessary for service purposes, is a road necessary to provide this? The Works Department would seem to function in a vacuum, independent of Parks, Forestry or Heritage and Culture Of particular concern is the absence of awareness or understanding of Natural Heritage within or on the part of some City Departments This has become almost swe.eping with..amalgamation,~where the .issue is. lost in large, engineering based decision making Some access points which had served well for the previous forty to seventy years have been up-graded over the last two years, with a total disregard to the venue There has been a complete lack of sensitivity to the surround , Hard services and infrastructure are important. Without them the urban environment would crumble But they cannot and must not exist in isolation from heritage values, which are the counterpart that combines with them to make the city 863 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 March 3, 2000 When hard services are located in natural areas, the protection and maintenance of the natural area should be the primary consideration in service access The principle of previous degradation for the validation of its resurrection or perpetuation is a bad principle and should be discarded Thank you for your kind consideration Yours sincerely, II Mdh-t ~1t1 Madeleine McDowell Chair, Humber Heritage Committee 416-767 -76~~3 '^ March 3, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 864 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION RES.#B17/00 - ACQUISITION OF ONTARIO REAL TV CORPORATION (ORC) VALLEY CORRIDOR AND ENVIRONMENTAL LANDS Rouge River Watershed, CFN 30746.

It is not clear at this time whether the Town will take these lands. If they do not, the lands will be conveyed to the Authority Approximately 628 hectares (1,551 acres) are located along the Little Rouge Corridor and 32 hectares (79 acres) adjacent to Milne Park. It's understood there are approximately 30 residential leases and a number of farm leases within these lands.

Moved by' Michael Di Biase Seconded by' Gerri Lynn O'Connor THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the "Policy for the Selection of Real Estate Brokers"as set out in-the staff report dated February 18, 2000, be approved. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The members of the Authority at meeting- #12/94 held January 27, 1995, under resolution #A289/94 adopted the current Land Disposal Policy, copy attached. This policy -deals specifically with the process to declare land surplus but does not specifically addre~s the use, of real estate brokers. While there is no formal policy in place for hiring aJeal estate broker, staff has followed the following informal process: . Generally staff have used real estate firms to sell residential lots or houses. The reason real estate firms are usep is that knowledge of the local market and access to th~ Multiple Listing Service are important in l?elling these types of properties. The advantages of' listing with an agent are the savings in staff time.and resources and the ability to show properties during evenings and weekends which is generally preferred by prospective' purchaSers. . To select a firm, proposals have generally been requested from two or more agents that are active in the vicinity of the surplus parcel. The proposal generally includes information stich as proposed commlssJon rates, suggested listing price, estimated market value of the property, and sales history of the firm in the area. POLICY FOR THE SELECTION OF REAL ESTATE BROKERS When it is proposed to use a Real Estate Broker -.to market an Authority surplus property the following is the procedure to select a Broker' (1 ) A minimum of three real estate brokers that are active in marketing properties in the vicinity of the surplus pi'eperty will be requested to submit a proposal to list the property; (2) All proposals will include the following information.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information. Proposal' To link the new IBM facility north of the Rouge River with electrical supply and with two hot water and two chilled water pipes from the Markham Hydro property from the south, a crossing of the Rouge River is required. The plant structure for the hot and chilled water pipes will be built on the Markham Hydro property (i e on tableland) south of the watercourse and the new lines, needed specifically for the proposed IBM facility, will occur within an existing municipally-owned sanitary sewer easement (permit C-99205 was approved at Executive Committee Meeting #8/99 on Sept. 10/99 for this sanitary sewer) A separate easement through the valley corridor is not possible due to the linear alignment needed to the hot and chilled water plant. The construction methodology involves digging a trench on the south side of the river and placing the water pipes and electrical duct structure at a depth of 1 5 metres. To accommodate the machinery and tunnel liner a pit will be excavated approximately 20 metres south of the edge of the watercourse. Through jacking the 1800 mm diameter steel tunnel liner and through hand mining, the Rouge River will be tunneled for a 45- metre length. The steel liner will be located at a depth of 2 5 metres under the Rouge River The pipes and electrical duct structure will be placed within the liner On the north side of the River the pipes and electrical duct structure will be placed again in a trench at a depth of 1.5 metres. The entire length of the project is approximately 270 metres. Control of Flooding' All construction areas within the floodplain will be immediately restored to original grades. Therefore, there will not be any impact on the control of flooding from fill placement. One hydro man hole will be installed with the top set 200mm above grade Staff have det~rmined that this manhole would not cause an impact to flow Pollution' Sediment fencing will be installed parallel to the watercourse to prevent the movement of construction generated sediments-into.the Rouge River"E>isturbed areas will be revegetated upon completion of the project. Conservation of Land With the placement of silt fencing parallel to the watercourse and with the proposed steel tunnel liner bored at a depth of 2.5 metres under the watercourse, any potential harmful alteration, destruction, and disruption (HADD) of the fish habitat will be mitigated. No terrestrial resource features will be impacted. 899 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 March 3, 2000 On the north side of the river IBM will be implementing a tree planting and seeding program that will restore all areas disturbed by site works. Restoration on the south side of the river will be limited to a grassed lawn area that is currently maintained by Markham Hydro.

March 3, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 8100 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information. ProDosal: The existing community centre will be demolished and the new Pickering West Branch Library and Community Centre will be constructed Site grading will occur as a result of the construction Only a small section of the proposed structure in the west will be located within the fill regulated area. All parking will be constructed outside the regulated area. The proposed gabion retaining wall will be located south of the new community centre with half of the wall located within the fill regulated area The proposed community centre will be located no closer to the top of bank than the existing community centre. In the valley to the west of the new community centre is the Petticoat Creek Forest (ESA # 94) Control of Flooding There are no concerns for flooding as the site is not located within the Regional Floodplain Pollution. Staff has requested that plans be submitted to show the location of the sediment fencing and a typical silt fence which will eliminate construction-generated sediments from entering the watercourse to the west of the construction site Conservation of Land As the proposed community centre will not be any closer to the Petticoat Creek Forest ESA than the existing community centre, it is anticipated that there will not be any additional impacts. To ensure that there are no impacts during construction a sediment fence will be situated at the top of bank which is between the work site and the ESA in the valley Policy Guidelines: The Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program provides TRCA's policies which guide development proposals adjacent to valley and stream corridors. In this instance the policies define the valley corridor boundary by the greater of the stable top of valley bank plus 10 metres inland It was noted in a letter dated November 24, 1999 by TRCA staff that there was an encroachment in the valley corridor boundary by a small portion of the southwest corner of the new building Staff recognized that the proposed encroachment did not extend any further than the existing building. Therefore, TRCA staff determined that the proposed setback, although less than 10 metres, provides an acceptable buffer from the top of the bank. The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 (0)- Replacement Structures-of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program CFN: 31056 Application #: 021/00/PICK Report Prepared by' June Murphy, extension 5304 For information contact: June Murphy, extension 5304 Date: February 24, 2000 8101 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 March 3, 2000 CITY OF TORONTO (TORONTO DISTRICT) 8.1.16 CITY OF TORONTO To alter a waterway on (1873 Bloor Street West, South East Corner Of High Park Close To The Intersection Of Parkside Dr And The Queensway), in the City of Toronto (Toronto), Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by City of Toronto.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information. Proposal' Spring Creek flows from the north to the south along the east side of High Park and discharges into Lower Duck Pond at the southeast corner of the Park. Upper Duck Pond receives minimal flows and is connected by way of an overflow weir and channel to Lower Duck Pond This reach of Spring Creek is not Fill Regulated and does not have an associated Regional Storm Flood plain. This proposal consists of altering Spring Creek. A bottom draw will be constructed to transfer water from Spring Creek to a series of newly created wetlands on the eastern section of Lower Duck Pond A berm will be constructed along the eastern third of Lower Duck pond to separate the Spring Creek flow for treatment into the new wetlands. An outlet will be constructed along the berm to allow the treated waters to return to the remaining portion of Lower Duck Pond. High Park has been impacted by stormwater runoff entering the rivers and ponds which has resulted in surface algae blooms, water discoloration, turbidity and odours The lands contributing stormwater runoff are from existing developed lands which presently have no storm water management controls. The City of Toronto retained a consultant to design, construct and monitor a pilot treatment wetland system to improve the quality of the waters of Spring-Greek'as it flows' into Lower Duck Pond This is not a traditional storm water management project. This pilot project will be monitored for success and potential environmental impacts. TRCA staff is of the opinion that this project will provide a net benefit for High Park through vegetative plantings and providing enhanced water quality The City has requested consideration of this application on the March 3 Executive Committee meeting in order to facilitate the construction contract period over 10 weeks. March 3, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 8102 Control of Flooding As the upstream drainage area of Spring Creek is less than 125 hectares it was determined that this site is not located within a Regional Storm Flood Plain Therefore, there will not be any impacts associated with flooding Pollution Through a letter of undertaking the City of Toronto has agreed to provide Erosion and Sedimentation Reports to TRCA's satisfaction prior to permit issuance. Staffs concerns for pollution will be addressed through these reports. Conservation of Land Through a letter of undertaking the City of Toronto has agreed to provide Restoration Plans to TRCA's satisfaction prior to permit issuance Staff's concerns for restoration will be addressed through these plans. Construction of this wetland will provide the opportunity to enhance the area through additional vegetative plantings and providing enhanced water quality There are no concerns related to fish habitat. No significant resource areas will be impacted by the proposed works.

Moved by' Gerri Lynn O'Connor Seconded by' Maria Augimeri THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Dagmar Construction Inc. be retained to undertake structural bridge/weir stabilization works in conjunction with the construction of a fish "rocky ramp" for the Donalda Golf Club fish barrier mitigation project, at a total cost not to exceed $67,519 plus G ST. . . ......... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND In order to improve upstream access to the watershed from Lake Ontario for migratory fish species, existing passage barriers are being modified Having recently modified two weirs at Pottery Road, and one at Lawrence Avenue, the next major barrier on the East Don River is a weir located on the Donalda Golf Club property Staff have considered numerous options for mitigating the weir and have selected a "rocky ramp" design as the preferred option to facilitate fish passage. In order to implement the proposed project, a review of the integrity of the existing structure, with the intent to remove a portion of the concrete apron, was undertaken, to facilitate the rocky ramp It appears that the weir was constructed in the early 1900's as a concrete dam situated on top of a rock filled timber crib:-Since its 'Construction; numerous"-changes to the structure have been made including the installation of a bridge to facilitate vehicles and pedestrians to cross the river Due to the lack of information regarding the construction and existing condition of the weir, staff undertook an investigation to develop design concepts with assistance from V A. Wood Associates Limited, Consulting Geotechnical Engineers, and H Sustronk & Associates (1980) limited, Civil/Structural Consulting Engineers. March 3, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 8104 The consultants determined that the weir could be notched and stabilized by installing tie back rods to buried precast concrete "anchor blocks" Quarried and field stone would then be installed to provide for scour protection of the remaining slab The stone would also be extended downstream for a distance of about 25 to 30 metres to complete the construction of the fish "rocky ramp" RATIONALE Given the technical complexities of the project, an engineering solution was not arrived at until very recently, therefore, due to timing constraints from both a fisheries and funding standpoint, staff were not able to formerly tender this work. Funding for this project was secured from a variety of sources, some of whom require that the monies be spent before March 31, or shortly thereafter The fisheries window during which no instream construction can take place extends from March 31 to July 1 Furthermore, the golf course will only allow construction during their off season Therefore, even a short delay to allow a tendering process would result in a year long delay in construction and funding that had been secured could not be retained for that period of time. Such a delay would jeprodize the project. This is the last major barrier preventing migratory salmon from reaching spawning habitat at the base of the Oak Ridges Moraine in Vaughan and Richmond Hill and thus a very important milestone for the Watershed. To expedite the work, TRCA staff and the project Consultant, H Sustronk & Associates, met with representatives from Dagmar Construction Inc., and are confident that they have the experience and resources to complete the work in a timely and effective manner, and that the cost estimates provided for the work are within those budgeted TRCA staff have worked with Dagmar Construction on other projects, the most recent being the construction of the Raymore Fishway; the Keffer Marsh storm sewer control structure, construction of a pedestrian bridge, storm water management facility, and water intake pipe and pumping chamber at the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park project. This work was all completed to staff's satisfaction on time and on budget. FINANCIAL DETAILS The total cost for this project is $155,000 Funding has been approved for this project through Environment Canada Great Lakes 2000; The City of Toronto RAP; Canada Trust; and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority constructed and operates a 50 tee golf driving range at the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area, located in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, Regional Municipality of York. March 3, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 8110 The facility is located on the south side of Stouffville Sideroad, immediately east of the access road into the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area, and encompasses 8.1 hectares (20 acres) of land, more or less, as identified on the attached plan. During the past season the driving range was open to the general public and operated by the Authority In addition to this there were two individual agreements; one with the YMCA of Greater Toronto and the other with Impact Golf School. The YMCA used the facility as part of their summer camp offerings, while Impact Golf School provided golf instruction to its local clientele. In renegotiating our agreement with Impact Golf School, they requested a two year licence agreement to operate the golf driving range in addition to offering golf instruction at this facility Authority staff has held preliminary meetings with representatives of Impact Golf School to discuss a possible pilot project which would allow for such an arrangement, and to discuss general terms and conditions which would apply to a possible two year licence agreement. Impact Golf School has been in operation several years and consists of three partners. They are extensively involved in the development and instruction of golf, and have worked with Authority staff in the marketing of the Bruce's Mill Golf Driving Range. Staff are of the opinion that further discussions with Impact Golf School regarding such an arrangement are warranted A plan showing the location of the Bruce's Mill Golf Driving Range is attached. CONCLUSION Authority staff is seeking the direction of the Executive Committee to commence negotiations with Impact Golf School regarding a possible two year licence agreement for the existing Bruce's Mill Golf Driving Range A further report will be brought forward to the next meeting of the Finance & Business Development Advisory Board and the Executive Committee detailing the progress being made and the general terms and conditions of any proposed licence agreement.

Gerri Lynn O'Connor Seconded by' Maria Augimeri THAT the proposal by Greenland International Consulting Inc. to continue with the monitoring for the Sediment Awareness demonstration sites be approved. The total cost estimate to undertake the monitoring of this project for 2000 is $54,837 ($46,697 will be for labour and travel expenses and the remaining $8,140 will cover material costs) . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1999, TRCA staff initiated the Sediment Awareness Project as a means to address the concerns regarding the amount of sediment generated from construction sites, particularly in the sensitive headwater streams in the Great Lakes Basin, from the initial stripping and rough grading through servicing, house construction and final site stabilization The adequacy of the planning process, the appropriate selection of sediment control best management practices, and the maintenance and effectiveness of these temporary devices through the servicing and building phases, have been identified as potential issues in sediment and erosion management. Ultimately, when the monitoring is completed, these results will provide the framework for new, specific, and practical improvements to the existing provincial standards for Erosion and Sediment Control on Urban Construction Sites (1989) The results of the study are intended to be applicable to all similar RAP sites facing the impacts of construction sediment exports. This project addresses a number of issues that have been identified by the Don Watershed Regeneration Council, Humber Watershed Alliance and the Rouge Park Alliance, and in the following documents Clean Waters, Clear Choices; Forty Steps to a New Don, Legacy and A Call to Action, as being significant concerns requiring immediate action. improved erosion and sediment control methods; rigorous enforcement of sediment control guidelines, and; better education/awareness for the development industry TRCA, in partnership with Greenland International Consulting Inc., developed a monitoring protocol for the Sediment Awareness Project and three demonstration sites were chosen. one each in the City of Vaughan, and the Towns of Markham and Ajax. Monitoring actual development sites will' provide first-hand knowledge for the regulatory agencies working in conjunction with developers and builders; identify the need for industry and agency education, and provide the opportunity to test an enhanced planning process currently being developed in conjunction with municipal staff The monitoring protoool identified eight -components including visual observations and detailed in- stream monitoring The eight monitoring components include visual, flow and water quality; temperature, habitat assessment; benthic invertebrates, fish community; amphibians; and biomonitoring TRCA staff has been responsible for undertaking all components, in-house, except for the visual and flow and water quality monitoring components which were carried out by Greenland staff in 1999 8113 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 March 3, 2000 Monitoring at the Ajax and Markham sites was carried out from May through November in 1999 Greenland staff have recently completed a year-end progress report for the Sediment Awareness Project which includes the results from each of the eight monitoring activities. RATIONALE It is recommended that Greenland International Consulting Inc. continue their monitoring work for the Sediment Awareness Study in 2000 TRCA staff are currently acting as project managers, providing technical support and are carrying out a portion of the monitoring work. TRCA cannot provide additional staff at this time and Greenland's assistance is critical to the study's completion. TRCA staff are satisfied that Greenland's costs are at, or are comparable to those that would be incurred by TRCA. Greenland will provide a highly qualified engineer to carry out the applicable monitoring components. The charge out rate for the labour will be set at a technician's rate thereby reducing the overall cost. TRCA have worked with Greenland International Consulting Inc. on numerous projects and are continually impressed with the quality of their work and the expertise provided by their staff Greenland has provided technical advice from the onset of the Sediment Awareness Study and have assisted in developing the monitoring protocol. In 1999, Greenland staff undertook the visual, flow and water quality monitoring components for two of the demonstration sites. During the Phase I component, Greenland supplied the flow and water quality monitoring equipment. They have offered continual use of this equipment for Phase 1/ Greenland staff have provided a quality report which both meets and exceeds the original study requirements. The year end report outlines the work carried out during Phase I including a discussion of the monitoring results. Greenland staff are uniquely qualified since they have many years of related, practical experience and can provide superior technical skills to the project. Greenland recently completed a sediment research study for the City of Mississauga of which TRCA staff participated The objectives of the Mississauga study are similar to those of the Sediment Awareness Study and illustrate Greenland's support for this initiative Greenland also recently completed the Storm Water Management Facility Sediment Maintenance Guide which will assist municipalities and other facility operators monitor and manage accumulated sediments in storm water facilities. The stakeholder committee supports Greenland's proposal to continue their monitoring work in 2000 and a letter of recommendation from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, a major funding partner for the study, has been attached. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE 1 TRCA Staff Temperature Monitoring Temperature readings will be taken at each of the six locations throughout the duration of the study The temp-meters will be programmed to take readings on an hourly basis. Habitat Assessment: Habitat assessment will be carried out once per year Information collected will be transferred to a GIS package for analysis. . March 3, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 8114 Benthic Invertebrate Sampling. Benthic Invertebrate sampling will be carried out twice per year for the duration of the study at each of the 6 stations Sampling results will be compared to the baseline inventory to identify any change in community structure. All samples will be identified by an outside consultant. Fish Community Sampling: Fish community sampling will continue on an annual basis throughout the duration of the study Sampling will take place early summer Amphibian Monitoring: Spring/Summer 2000 to end of study Spring and summer breeding frogs and toads will be monitored for the same section of Millers Creek. There will be one evening visit to listen for early spring breeders and two visits to listen for summer breeders. The same protocol as 1999 will be followed Biomonitoring. After approximately six weeks of exposure the clams will be retrieved and the soft tissue removed, preserved and sent to TRCA's contract laboratory for analysis. The clam tissue will be tested for Trace metals, Total PCB and PAH's and compared to the control set from Balsam Lake to determine biological uptake of contaminant. A total of four stations will be tested annually A complete analysis will be carried out on the clam samples in 1999 to provide baseline data. In subsequent years a sediment sample could be analyzed If bioaccumulative compounds are found in the sediment, then the clams will also be tested. If no. bioaccumulatives are found, then only a mortality count will be conducted 2. Greenland Staff Visual Monitoring Greenland staff will visit each key station at least once every two weeks during extended dry periods and after each rainfall event. Greenland staff will keep track of the weather forecast using their subscription to radar data access. This will optimize the timing of the inspections and verification of the automatic sampler installations. During each visit, Greenland staff will take photographs and record detailed notes describing any changes in baseline conditions and to monitor the performance of the erosion and sediment control measures. All photographs will be digital (or digitized) for ease of information exchange and documentation and, ultimately, to reduce costs. In addition, Greenland staff will walk along the length of all the environmental fencing to review the integrity of the fence and note any evidence of sediment 'break-throughs' Greenland staff will document the reasons for 'break-throughs', including material failure, installation problems; construction 'accidents'; and construction progress requirements (e.g need to remove sediment trap because new road/street being graded, houses being built, etc.) Flow and Water Quality' Water levels will be recorded on an hourly basis using a data logger and a pressure transdueer .=rne water-qt2a1ity sampler is-programmed to take samples when the water level in the creek reaches a certain elevation (i e. during wet weather events) 8115 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/00 March 3, 2000 - FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds are available to continue this project through special provisions of the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Region of Durham and through the 2000/2001 RAP MOU funding. TRCA will provide limited funding from its watershed strategy implementation budgets and the assignment of technical staff to manage the project.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information 8159 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/00 April 7, 2000 Proposal The proposal consists of a single lane, triple-span, prefabricated steel bridge. Structure abutments are proposed on either side of the valley at the top of the bank. Two piers will be located two thirds of the way down each valley slope at an approximate distance of 11.5 metres from the center line of the stream The total span of the bridge will be 70.5 metres with a width of 6 metres and will be located approximately 18 metres above the stream The proposed bridge will cross a permanently low flowing creek that runs through a high gradient, steeply sided ravine The bridge site is located within the "Morningside Creek Forest" Environmentally Significant Area (ESA # 82) and the Regionally Significant ANSI, known as "Morningside Tributary Ravine" The "Core Woods" ESA (#84) is adjacent to the site to the north. Control of Flooding There are no concerns related to flooding with the proposed bridge as the upstream drainage area of this first order stream is less than 125 hectares. The proposed piers are not located within a regional storm flood plain Therefore, they will not cause any obstructions to flow, up or downstream impacts or loss of flood storage. Pollution The use of sediment and erosion control measures, and restricted work zones will prevent sediment loading to Morningside Creek. No construction crossings of the watercourse are required. Conservation of Land Staff have worked extensively with the staff and consultants for the Zoo in efforts of minimizing environmental impacts which include avoiding core wooded habitat, avoiding works that would have a significant impact on the Rouge valley and avoiding the structurally unstable existing footbridge. The geotechnical report was reviewed by TRCA staff and found to be satisfactory Staff recommend that the broader stability Issue be confirmed during construction of the bridge.

Proposal The proposal includes the construction of an 11 m by 14 m temporary sales trailer in the floodplain of the German Mills Creej<. The proposed trailer and front porch are proposed to be anchored by way of concrete piers. The parking lot will have a gravel base. Control of Floodino' The subject site is currently flood susceptible as the result of a flood spill associated with upstream and downstream structures. While Authority policy allows for floodplain modifications to address spill zones, staff recommend flood proofing the structure, rather than modifying the floodplain in light of the temporary nature of the proposed use. Staff has reviewed the depths and velocities associated with the existing conditions of this site. The proposed floor elevation of the sales trailer will be set higher than the existing Regional Storm elevation A review of the structural details indicates that the structure will be set on concrete piles which will provide space underneath the structure for passage of flood flows during the Regional Storm event and will not impact upstream or downstream flood elevations. The proposed parking lot meets the flood depth and velocity criteria under the existing condition Pollution As the German Mills is located approximately 30 metres to the west of the trailer site, and as fill material will be limited to gravel for the parking lot arid cement for the sono tubes, no sedimentation of the watercourse is expected Conservation of Land There is no in stream work proposed and no resource features will be impacted by the proposed structure and parking lot.

Moved by' Lorna Bissell Seconded by' Donna Patterson THAT Angus Reid Group be hired to undertake a public opinion survey of Don watershed residents on public awareness, attitudes and behavioural patterns related to watershed health and recreation issues in the Don River watershed, at a cost not to exceed $24,000 plus GST. . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1994, the Don Watershed Task Force created Forty Steps to a New Don, a report that acts as a road map for government and community actions to protect, restore and regenerate the health of the Don River In 1995, the Don Watershed Regeneration Council was created to implement the strategies outlined in the Forty Steps document. In order to continually assess the effectiveness of effort to improve and protect the health of the watershed, Forty Steps to a New Don, received by the TRCA in 1994, calls for a report card to be published every three years. Community awareness and action are fundamental variables impacting the health of the Don watershed and as such are to be included in these report cards. In 1996, the first public attitude survey of Don watershed residents was undertaken, which established baseline information on residents' level of awareness and behavioural patterns. The results of this survey-were~cluded-in1he-'t99'l-document-ruming-rhe-Comer, The Don Watershed Report Card This report had wide distribution and has been used as a template by other groups including the United States EPA funded Rouge River Project.

Interviews were conducted with representatives of each company and after careful review and a subsequent further meeting of all committee members, it was agreed that the Angus Reid Group proposal, while the most costly, was preferred. All members of the Committee concurred with this decision. However, the Committee members were concerned with the cost, and requested staff to meet with the representatives of Angus Reid to determine areas where costs could be cut. While it was agreed that the 20 minute survey format should be retained to ensure the depth of topics covered, the numbers of surveys could be dropped to 500, and the age range expanded to include persons 18-25 years old With these changes Angus Reid agreed to reduce their cost to $24,000 plus GST Staff on behalf of the Don Watershed Regeneration Council respectfully request the approval of this contract.

Blueggemann APR 1 4 2000 36 ChaniIigton Crescent M3L 2C4 Toronto Chief AdmlnI4tratcr'~1 mfice 7 April 2000 To Th~ Chainnan and Members, TRCA I am concerned about the construction site on the south side of Sheppard and the west side of Keele. Some time in 1\1arch, I walked up the slope from Seeley drive and noticed that the excavations were very close to the edge and did not appear to conform with the TRCA's regulations about distance 'from the edge of table land. There was also some minor dumpmg jn fl. small natural culvert. 11?honed the Black C!eek project but now I am aslcing TRCA itselfto:,write and let me know if this constl11ction is brealcing regulation-s. Years ago, I contacted your authOlity during the construction of the Northwood subdivision, Lou Charles was the developer there. from my O~l1 observations, and from the reports of people who, were having pre sold houses built there, I told the Authority that there was a lot of fill going into deep slopes and lot lines were gqing nght up to the edge of the table land. Th~ officer I spoke to said he had a sta~k a yard high.ofinfractions in that developmept. Our alderman of the time, Pat O'Neill was also infonned, as was Robert Yuill and the parks conunissioner, but nothing was changed and you know how m,uch money that poor development on either stde of the Black Creek valley has cost TReA. I was told later that if I had put my concerns in writing, more notice might have been taken. Hence this letter and I hope some timely remedtal action as well as a, reply. )1V"'AJ h~7 - - "- V (/I~ . h -'~ t (cpf" (..

Moved by' Michael Di Biase Seconded by' Gerri Lynn O'Connor THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS the proposed Vaughan Mills Road Bridge fulfilled the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act in 1990 in terms of public consultation and notification of completion; AND WHEREAS this process was completed prior to the Authority adoption of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program; THAT the City of Vaughan be advised that the Authority will not object to the use of the proposed 76 metre bridge subject to staff working with the City of Vaughan and the City's consultants to ensure that the works are designed and constructed in a manner that minimizes impacts to the valley feature and potential flood risks, \ AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to work with the City of Vaughan investigating opportunities to enhance the valley system in this area ....... . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND Staff are in receipt of a permit application for the Vaughan Mills Road Bridge. The proposal includes a 76 metre span of the Humber River As a requirement of the Environmental Assessment Act (EA), an Environmental Study Report must be prepared and made available for comment by the public and affected agencies for qualifying projects. In 1990, the City of Vaughan completed the preliminary bridge design and Environmental Study Report (ESR), circulating these submissions to affected agencies and advertising in local newspapers. The Notice of Completion of the ESR is dated June 20, 1990 and the Ministry of Environment has confirmed that no bump up requests were received TRCA did not comment on, or object to, the recommended 76 metre structure On the basiS of the successfully completed EA Process, the City of Vaughan has collected Development Charges for construction of a 76 metre bridge crossing (the preferred option in the ESR) and now IS preparing an update to the ESR prior to proceeding to detailed design for review and approval ~ The Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (1994) includes the following policy with respect to the location of structural abutments of bridge crossings. May 12,2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8183 - )~ -- 4 3 B 6) Bridge or structural abutments should be located outside the meanr:Jer belt (as calculated from the existing meander amplitude) or the 100 year erosion limit of a watercourse, unless located beyond the valley or stream corridor General practice, since the adoption of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program has been to direct abutments out of the meander belt rather than the lesser standard of the 100 year erosion limit. The proposed 76 metre structure protects the 100 year erosion limit, however, it does not protect the meander belt. Application of the current meander belt criteria would require extending the proposed bridge to a length of approximately 150m The proposed bridge design minimizes the impacts on flood conveyance by lowering the existing ground elevation under the bridge and containing the increased flooding within the valley lands owned by the TRCA. The larger opening under the bridge also provides for future trail linkages for this reach of the valley City of Vaughan has indicated that Level 1 quality control treatment will be provided for Stormwater runoff In addition, enhancement works such as riparian zone plantings will be completed as part of the project to minimize impacts of the project on the valley lands, and to provide opportunities for enhancement. City of Vaughan staff are seeking support from the Authority on the 76 metre structure as they update their ESR but prior to the finalization of detailed. design, and permit approval. A plan illustrating the location of the proposed bridge is attached RATIONALE In light of the completion of the EA process, staff recommends approval in principle of the proposed bridge based upon 1990 criteria for flood plain impacts and meander belt management. Current standards will be met or exceeded with respect to stormwater management, trail access and restoration/enhancement.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The Palgrave pond IS an on line pond on the Main Humber River in the Village of Palgrave, Town of CaJedon The mill dam was originally constructed in the mid 1800's, and the pond has become the focal pOint of the village In 1996, Ontario Streams initiated the Palgrave Dam Aquatic Habitat Restoration Project. It was through this project that residents became aware of the negative environmental impacts of the dam and pond on the health of the Humber River watershed Residents have clearly indicated that they support efforts to rehabilitate aquatic habitat, however, are not supportive of any measures that will result in negative changes to the aesthetics of the pond. Since 1996, numerous concept designs have been developed to restore the Palgrave Mill Pond. In 1998, three concepts that included the provision of a fishway, dredging, and a trail system were developed. A preferred concept was selected and a technical investigation was completed in order to establish detailed design criteria This report indicated technical difficulties with the construction ~ ~- of the berm-to-effectively iselate-4:he-P6fle..frem'the river~by er-eating a bypass channel around the pond Further to that, engineering and construction costs proved to be prohibitive As a result, a revised concept that reduced costs and still achieved the environmental objectives was developed At the Executive Meeting #8/99, Aquafor Beech was hired to prepare detailed designs for this revised concept. May 12, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8187 - . Components of this design include opportunities for fish passage, reduced thermal impacts of the pond, improved aquatic habitat within the pond, trails and interpretive signage and maintenance of pond aesthetics. At the Authority Meeting #2/00, the Authority made the following recommendation '7HATthe restoration plans for the Palgrave Mill Pond Community Action Site, which includes a fishway, dredging, trail construction, parking and interpretive signage and a series of trails be approved " Based on the consultant's recommendation, 21,OOOm3 of material will be excavated from the pond A sediment forebay approximately two metres in depth will be created which, based on sediment loads, will have a lifespan of 20 years. A channel, approximately 1.5m deep, which extends from the sediment forebay to the pond outlet, will also be dredged The average depth of the pond will be approximately 1 Om Approvals will be sought during the spring of 2000, with construction anticipated to begin in July and finish in September RATIONALE The dredging tender was publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial News for Contract ESOO-04 A total of six bids were received an.d opened on Thursday April 20, 2000 at the Tender Opening Sub- Committee meeting #5/00 The quo~ations received are as follows.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Meeting # 12/95 the Authority approved a permanent easement in favour of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto (City of Toronto) for parking purposes The City of Toronto, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission, has been negotiating with the owners and tenants of the property at 1333 Sheppard Avenue East for the acquisition of permanent and temporary working easements required to facilitate the construction of the Sheppard Subway line. North York General Hospital is the owner of this 2.21 hectare property on which a medical office building and a parking deck are currently constructed The lands adjacent to this property are owned by the Authority and under management agreement with the City of Toronto. In the course of the construction of the Sheppard Subway, the frontage of 1333 Sheppard Avenue East will be disrupted for a period of approximately four years, including the loss of 81 parking spaces. To compensate for the parking it is proposed that the parking deck be expanded and the City of Toronto requested a permanent easement over Authority property, south of 1333 Sheppard Avenue East to facilitate this proposal However, North York General Hospital insisted on acquiring fee simple ownership In the subject Authority parcel Several years of protracted negotiations have resulted in an agreement whereby the North York General Hospital would acquire the subject Authority parcel together with a permanent easement for the purposes of maintaining a retaining wall related to the parking lot. In return the Authority will acquire a small portion of valley land from the North York General Hospital, which will be subject to an easement for maintenance of an adjacent road embankment. AuthOrity staff are of the opinion that the current proposal represents the best alternative In this area and are recommending rescinding the earlier resolution The subject lands were acqUired from the North York General Hospital in October 1970, under the Don River Flood Plain Lands component of the Land Acquisition Project. There is a covenant on title which limits the use of the property for any purpose other than for conservation The City of Toronto has obtained a release from the North York General Hospital in connection with this matter The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this exchange and is in concurrence with this proposal A plan illustrating the specific location is attached TAXES AND MAIN:r.E-NANCE The parcel being acquired will be turned over to the City of Toronto as part of the management agreement May 12,2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8197 - FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for this transaction will be charged to account 004-11-502.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The Site The Yonge East subject site is generally located north of Stouffville Sideroad, east of Yonge Street, west of Bayview, in the Town of Richmond Hill A portion of the site is located east of the proposed Bayview Avenue extension The site is approximately 290 hectares in size The Yonge West subject site is generally located west of Yonge Street, north of Jefferson Sideroad, East of Bathurst Street and south of eXisting and planned residential area known as the Oak Ridges Com m unity The.slte ,is.appr.ox,jmat~y...:398./:lectares"f.l,sjze May 12. 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8215 The applicants of Yonge East and Yonge West are requesting amendments to the York Region Official Plan which designates the lands Rural Policy Area, Significant Forested Lands and Regional Greenlands System The Town of Richmond Hill Official Plan designates the lands Rural Area and Major Open Space The purpose of the amendments and associated plans of subdivision is to redesignate the lands Urban Area allowing for a mixture of residential, major institutional, major open space and hazard land uses. The location of the Yonge East and Yonge West lands and the designated features are shown on the attached Map 1 Both Yonge East and Yonge West are entirely located on the Oak Ridges Moraine and are situated on the watershed divides between the Rouge and Humber River Watersheds with a substantial portion of the lands internally draining, thereby directly recharging the groundwater supply A fragile system of significant natural heritage features are found on both sites which collectively provide for an array of ecological functions. These features include Jefferson Forest, which is an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI), head water tributaries of the Rouge and Humber Rivers, Environmentally Significant Areas (ESA), and 36 Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) features recognized by the Ministry of Natural Resources as forming part of the Philips-Bond- Thompson Wetland Complex and Wilcox-St.George Wetland Complex. These lands fulfill a variety of ecological functions including habitat for breeding amphibians and birds, habitat for species on migration, movement between critical habitats for species to complete their life cycles, as well as Significant vegetation communities and plant species The sites are presently not Fill Regulated, however, the Authority's Fill Line Extension Program proposes to extend Fill Lines along the tributaries of the Rouge and Humber Rivers and to encircle the provincially significant wetlands, In addition to the Yonge East and Yonge West lands, the lands associated with OPA 138 are also parties at the hearing These lands, which are represented by three landowners, Duke of Richmond, Yonge Jefferson Group and Crossmar, are located just north of the urban area south of Jefferson Slderoad, east and west of Yonge Street In 1996, Authority staff did not object to an urban expansion of the OPA 138 area subject to the completion of Master Environmental Servicing Plans The OPA 138 urban expansion area Included these lands which are recognized as Phase 2 Because the Town of Richmond Hill has not adopted an urban expansion to include the lands, Phase 2 portion of OPA 138 IS requesting party status at this hearing in order to receive approval for a regional urban designation. If the urban designation is granted on these lands, Authority staff will be involved in the review of the environmental and servicing components of the MESP The MESP detailed review will not form part of this hearing Further, the Town had previously initiated an urban expansion area known as the North Leslie Secondary Planning area located north of Elgin Mills Rd between Highway 404 and Bayview Avenue. Since the Town is not proceeding with this Secondary Plan amendment, owners within this area have requested party status at this hearing At this time the status of their applications is not known Authority staff will report further when the applications are clarified Status of the Appeals On November 5, 1999, the Executive Committee authorized Authority staff to seek party status on referrals made by the landowners of Yonge East. The Executive also requested that staff report back to the Authority on the status of discussions and seek further direction following this first Prehearing Conference on whether legal counsel is required to represent the Authority should Authority Interests remain unresolved 8216 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000 Since the first prehearing conference of November 19, 1999, the Ontario Municipal Board has held six Prehearing Conferences in order to determine the status of parties and participants and the procedural order for the hearing, At this time there are several parties and participants at the hearing, in excess of 25, representing the Province, Region, Town and Authority, the landowners of Yonge East and West as well as environmental groups including Save the Rouge Valley Systems, Federation of Ontario Naturalists and S T 0 R.M Both the City of Toronto and the Region of Peel were denied party status at the April10-12th Prehearing The City of Toronto has made application to the Divisional Court for a leave to appeal the decision of the OMB It is anticipated that the leave application will be considered by the Courts on May 19, 2000 As a result the OMB has recently delayed the hearing to May 29th, Attached as Appendix A is the schedule of the hearing which is to continue for 12 weeks. Authority staff will be primarily participating in the Environmental phase of the hearing expected to start in mid June, The Town of Richmond Hill at Its meeting of March 6, 2000, requested that the Province immediately freeze development on the ORM in areas outside of secondary plan areas until such time as a policy has been adopted pursuant to the Planning Act to protect and enhance environmentally significant features of the Moraine In addition on April 6, 2000, the Town also denied the application for Yonge East In relation to the Yonge East proposal, Planning staff concluded that the proposal submitted by the applicants does not represent appropriate planning and development of these lands located on the Oak Ridges Moraine. They stated that the overall lack of information in respect to the natural environment, hydrogeology, survey inventory and environmental justification for development suggests that appropriate work has not been completed to allow either the Town or agencies such as the TRCA to definitely decide whether these lands can or should be developed for urban uses and meet the requirements of the Interim Guidelines for the Oak Ridges Moraine On May 3, 2000, the Region of York Planning Committee recommended that the request for a Regional Official Plan amendment for Urban Area designations and the implementing secondary plans failed to satisfy the requirements of the Regional Official Plan for urban area expansion Further Regional staff are authorized to appear before the OMB in support of this Regional position Based on the tests contained Within the Regional Plan, planning staff concluded that the proposals failed to meet the intent of the Sustainable Natural Environment policies outlined in Chapter 2 of the Plan and the tests In Chapter 2 related to the Regional Greenlands System, both in terms of the Identification of features and in terms of the functional attributes and linkages, Key to the policies IS a requirement that the proposals not have an "overall negative effect" on the functions, attributes and linkages The recommendation of Planning Committee will be heard by Council on May 11, 2000 In addition Planning Staff will be reporting to the Planning Committee on May 10,2000 regarding the Implications of the ProvinCial Natural Heritage System Map The Region of York is partnering With the TRCA to obtain peer review assistance in areas of terrestrial biology and hydrogeology May 12.2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8217 The Province of Ontario, at the direction of the OMB, identified the Natural Heritage system for the Richmond Hill portion of the Moraine which encompasses its natural heritage and water resources features "knitted" together by connecting lands. In their letter of May 4, 2000, the Province has stated that the development applications which are currently before the OMB do not adequately protect the environmental integrity of the moraine The Ministry has concluded that "the subject lands currently contain a series of significant natural heritage and water resource features and perform an array of important ecological functions. These features and functions occur within a core natural heritage and water resource system found in this portion of the Oak Ridges Moraine, substantial elements of which are found and take place both on the subject lands as well as other lands within the non-urban area of the Town. As such, the subject proposals do not adequately protect these important resources as required by the current provincial and regional planning policy framework. " RATIONALE TRCA Program and Policv Interests The Authority has a well established role in the protection and maintenance of natural heritage features and their functions as they relate to valley and stream corridors, ESA's and surface water management Authority staff have reviewed the applications on the basis of the Provincial Policy Statements, the Province's Oak Ridges Moraine Implementation Guidelines (ORMIG), the TRCA Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, the ESA program, other Authority policies related to water resource management and the Rouge Park Management Plan Based on thiS polley context and the Information supplied by the applicants, Authority staff provided comments to both the Town of Richmond Hill and the Region of York as they relate to ensuring that the natural features and functions, Including ecological linkages are protected from negative impact, enhanced where possible and maintained in the long term The three areas of interest Authority staff have identified include the hydrology (surface water), natural heritage and hydrogeology (ground water) The following is a summary of our issues related to each of these interests: Hydrology The AuthOrity's current hydrologiC and hydraulic models for the Humber Watershed and the Rouge Watershed do not recognize an urban land use over the entire area being proposed for development. The proponents are updating these models in order to identify whether proposed development will have a negative downstream impact. The updating of the models will also establish stormwater management criteria for flood and erosion control This information has not yet been submitted for review In addition to setting stormwater management criteria, information is pending with regard to existing and future conditions related to the internally draining areas, at what storm events, if any, water spills Into the Humber aRd Rouge Watersheds -INs'staffsToo<:lerstaRdiAg-tMat-pr-esently the water that falls Within the Internally draining lands directly recharges the groundwater aquifer system 8218 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000 In the post development scenario, there is an increase in impervious area which results in an increase in water runoff due to the paved surfaces, In order to deal with the increase in runoff from the internally draining area it is proposed to outlet water from the site into the surface water system This is considered a diversion to surface water flow Downstream impacts associated with potential increase in flooding, erosion, aquatic and terrestrial habitat impacts and maintaining the existing groundwater flow have not been addressed Natural Heritage Features and Functions There are Significant natural heritage features on these lands including ESA's, ANSI's, PSW's, headwater tributaries and valley lands of the Rouge and Humber Rivers. In the existing agricultural landscape there are ecological functions which occur within these significant features such as providing habitat for significant plant species and vegetation communities and breeding and stop over habitats for wildlife species, (including species of conservation concern) It is understood that there is movement which occurs on the landscape between features for wildlife species from low lying wetlands where species are breeding, to upland forests to complete their life cycles and back again Staff note that the existing agricultural landscape does not represent a barrier to the existing movement and dispersal of wildlife species. Therefore, given the significance of the natural features on site and the ecological functions which occur within and between features on the landscape, this system of core features, ecological buffering and connections must be maintained We identify that the site inventory work completed by the proponents is limited and generally charactenzes species use without detailed data, In order to quantify existing conditions it is necessary to start with a clear understanding of site conditions and plant and wildlife species use From eXisting conditions, a comprehensive and viable Environmental Impact Statement can then Identify what features must be protected, their sensitivities to the proposed change in land use from agriculture to urban and what ecological buffers and connections are required for protection in the long term Both proponents are proposing the elimination of a number of provincially significant wetlands as well as proposing the detention and treatment of stormwater either entirely within, or by partially using several provincially significant wetlands, The cumulative impacts of these changes on the ecological features and extent of ecological buffering required to protect area sensitive species has not been assessed within the Environmental Impact Statements. Both applications have identified corridor connections between some of the features. However, the long term viability, ecological functions, location and number of these connections are questionable with regard to their maintenance without adequate inventory data and without addressing the impact of stormwater management facilities,-r.oad..cro()ssin~s..and.o()tRero.(i)peR--6paCe-uses .within and adjacent to the features and the connections May 12, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8219 , . Development is proposed within the drainage catchment areas of the provincially significant wetlands, Given the sensitivity of the wetlands in terms of vegetation communities and wildlife and their contribution to water quality and quantity by directly infiltrating wc;lter to the groundwater aquifer system, careful consideration of how much development can occur within the catchment areas without causing a negative impact is required The proposal is to provide treated stormwater to the kettle features to offset impacts associated with changing the drainage patterns as a result of grading to facilitate development within the catchment. Impacts associated with balancing water in order to maintain the recharge function and the ability to distribute water in the post development scenario to the natural heritage features which depend on water supply have not been concluded. Further by providing stormwater to the features, negative impacts associated with point source discharge from an outfall rather than existing sheet flow and the installation of an outlet control structure that will-change the systems from being hydrologically closed to an open system, have not been adequately assessed Further, there are steep slopes associated with headwater tributary valley and wetland features. Long term slope stability and appropriate ecological buffering must be determined, Hydrogeology From the data provided by the proponents, there appears to be a groundwater watershed divide which exists on these lands between the Humber and the Rouge River Watersheds, A large percentage of the subject lands are internally drained, which means that water is directly recharging the groundwater aquifer system and contributing to baseflow of the rivers, The groundwater recharge function is the most significant in the catchment areas without wetland features, as water is directly infiltrated For example, in some of the dry kettle depressions, water infiltrates on a daily basis Whereas, water in a lake kettle feature such as Bond Lake, takes 13 years to turn over or infiltrate into the ground On Yonge West lands, the proponents have identified that there are 63 individual internal catchment areas all performing recharge functions and currently infiltrating water throughout the site In the post development conditions, these lands will be regraded and paved thereby increasing the imperviousness of the lands and significantly decreasing their ability to naturally infiltrate water To offset thiS decrease In natural recharge and in order to maintain water quality and quantity of groundwater supply, the proposed stormwater management scheme requires the use of Rapid Infiltration BasinS (RIB) and stormwater management ponds in order to pretreat water prior to infiltration The proposal involves infiltrating water into 3 RIB's on the Yonge West lands and 1 RIB on the Yonge East lands, therefore Changing the natural infiltration pattern from dispersed to concentrated Into the 4 locations.

Questions remain with regard to water quality into the wetlands as well as changing water supply from a hydrologically closed system to an open system where water will flow through the features. Impacts associated with changes in water levels, including volume, frequency and duration as well as quality and potential changes to vegetation communities and habitats has not been satisfactorily addressed Oak Ridges Moraine The Authority recognizes the importance of the Moraine functions within the Toronto region As early as 1989, the TRCA Greenspace Strategy for the Greater Toronto Region proposed that special attention be given to conserving the headwaters on the Oak Ridges Moraine Complex. Similar conclusions were reached in the 1989 Kanter report on the Greater Toronto Area Greenlands Strategy as well as the 1990 second Interim report, Watershed, by the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront. These reports all raised the significance of the Oak Ridges Moraine's contribution to water management and natural heritage In 1991 the Province expressed a Provincial Interest on the Oak Ridges Moraine and adopted the 1991 Oak Ridges Moraine Implementation Guidelines, The Province also initiated a long term strategy which when completed In 1994 was never adopted by the Province Both the Don and the Humber Watershed Strategies have identified the protection of the moraine In terms of both the quantity and quality of groundwater and protection of the form and function of landforms, such as the ORM Similarly the Rouge Park Management Plan established park concept, goal and objectives for the Rouge Park from Lake Ontario to the ORM In addition, specific to the Rouge watershed north of Steeles Ave, the draft Rouge Park North Management Plan emphasizes the protection of the headwater reaches of the Rouge River watershed, Recent initiatives of the TRCA include the Groundwater Management Strategy which is currently being undertaken in cooperation with the Regions of Peel, York and Durham The three Regions, York, Peel and Durham endorsed the preparation of a coordinated long term strategy for the protection and management of the ORM in 1999 The Authority also on January 7, 2000, provided direction on further steps which need to be taken to establish a policy context, technical framework and land management program for the protection of the Moraine which is currently In progress. In the absence of an overall strategy, Authority staff were directed to continue to work with our member municipal partners to ensure the recognition of the ORM as identified in the 1994 strategy and advocate an environmental first approach to all planning policies and development applications, In light of the AuthOrity's on-going Involvement and recognition of the importance of the ORM and Its contrlbution.to -the.overall..ef<lV4r-.(i)r:lRl.efl.taWlealtt:t of.the~+oront0,reg~on, the Authority should be taking a conservative approach to managing the environment within an urban expansion area, This approach would recognize that we have limited knowledge of the hydrogeological regime and protection mechanisms for the natural heritage within this sensitive area. Without this certainty our solutions should err on the side of caution recognizing that the decisions we make today are Irreversible May 12, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8221 - Conclusions The applications to be considered by the Ontario Municipal Board propose including 688 hectares within the urban boundary of Richmond Hill The applicants have undertaken a number of studies to demonstrate that they meet the requirements of current Provincial, Regional and Authority policies. Authority staff have reviewed these studies and have conclude9 that these proposals have not demonstrated that they meet the intent of the Provincial policy statements, specifically the Natural Heritage (2 3), Water Quality and Quantity (2.4) and the Natural Hazards (3,1) Nor do the applications satisfy the intent of the Natural Environment and Regional Greenlands System set out in the Regional Official Plan The proposals have not satisfactorily identified the existing features and required ecological buffering, functions or linkages and have therefore no~ provided sUfficient-protection mechanisms to sate guard these natural features and their functions including the necessary connecting linkages within an urban context. Both the Yonge East and West proposals will result in impacts to the habitat and functions within the core areas 'and these impacts have not been entirely assessed on an individual basis nor as to their cumulative impact within this significant area of the Oak Ridges Moraine It is recognized that this area of the Oak Ridges Moraine is a significant recharge area which contributes to the many features on site as well as the contribution to baseflow supply to the Humber and Rouge watersheds. The proposals include a complex system of engineering mechanisms to attempt to mimic the existing characteristics. While the applicants may demonstrate that these practices can be implemented, the risks associated with ongoing maintenance, lack of long term monitoring data and success rates of their use in similar situations and no alternative methods raises the question of the necessity of managing the environment to this extent. Authority staff need to ensure that the risks associated with these engineering practices are understood in context of the need to urban expand in thi~ location. At this time the risks have not been adequately addressed The impacts to the Watersheds in terms offlooding, erosion and aquatic and terrestrial habitat have not yet been addressed by the applicants, which at thi? time makes it impossible to assess the impacts of surface water changes on site and within the watershed, Without this component of the review, which is expected by the end of May, assessing the interrelationship be~een the natural heritage, groundwater and surface water cannot be completed Based on an evaluation of the material submitted by the applicants, Authority staff have concluded that these proposals do not meet the intent of the existing policy context, Authority staff have reviewed several applications within the Oak Ridges Moraine however, the size and distribution of the natural features on these sites and the number of internally draining areas which contribute to the recharge of water to the watershed raises a concern as to the extent of risks which are associated with 'I:lr.ean-expansioA1n.this'BJ"ea. '-in-ligt:lt-'()f,the"site.cMaracteristics and the Authority's on-going involvement and recognition of the importance of the ORM and its contribution to the overall environmental health of the Toronto region, the Authority should be taking a conservative approach to managing the environment within an urban expansion area. This approach would recognize that we have limited knowledge of the hydrogeological regime and protection mechanisms for the natural heritage within this sensitive area. Without this certainty our solutions should err on the Side of caution recognizing that the decisions we make today are irreversible. 8222 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000 FINANCIAL DETAILS The estimated cost of the hearing, above existing staff time, is $320,000 which is partially covered by Account No 110-50 The remaining costs are to be covered through partnerships with other public agencies at the hearing At present, staff have some agreements on cost sharing and will continue to work on finalizing other arrangements to ensure that the costs of this hearing are covered, DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Authority staff will continue to prepare for the upcoming OMB hearing, which is scheduled to start on May 29, 2000 for a 12 week period Staff will continue to coordinate with other public agencies at the hearing to ensure that the public interest of ensuring the protection of the natural features, functions and linkages on this portion of the Oak Ridges Moraine are achieved This coordination will also include finalizing other cost sharing arrangements with the public agencies at this hearing For information contact.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information Proposal The proposal is to retrofit an existing dry pond located at the southeast corner of Highway 7 and Cochrane Drive built in 1984 into an extended wet pond with a sediment forebay for the purpose of improved water quality and erosion protection. The stormwater inlet to the pond will remain unchanged The pond was originally constructed as an off-line facility to provide surface runoff control from a 25 hectare Cochrane Drive Industrial Subdivision This pond has been identified as a priority in the Town of Markham Retrofit Study A Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment was fulfilled in the preparation of this design Design of the facility was based on a Final Design Brief which was found to be satisfactory by staff Control of Flooding Stormwater quantity control IS not required for this catchment area. As such, the retrofit pond is being designed to maintain the eXisting level of quantity control By respecting the existing footprint and grades. the proposed works Will not negatively Impact the storage or conveyance of floodwaters Pollution Prior to construction a silt fence will be installed parallel to the river to prevent construction- generated sediments from entering the Beaver Creek, The proposal includes level 2 water quality treatment and a distributed runoff control technique to reduce the erosion risk to the east Beaver Creek. The benefit of this retrofit design is that the controlled discharge from the Storm Water Management pond will not add to existing erosion. Conservation of Land All disturbed areas will be revegetated following construction, no significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works. There will be no in-stream works.

As part of the initial construction of the Wismer Commons Development, the applicant is proposing to lower a portion of a headwater tributary using natural channel design principles, construct a road crossing and, a temporary and permanent on-line quantity control structure on the West Robinson Creek. A permit was approved by the Executive Committee in October of 1999, to construct two storm sewer outfalls and two watercourse crossings to facilitate the development. This permit is considered to be Phase II, the final phase of the approval required for site preparation, The works are in accordance with an approved Master Environmental Servicing Plan Control of Flooding A hydraulic analysis, satisfactory to TRCA staff, was undertaken to support the proposed works and demonstrated tt.lat a11-flGws.will.b~l'ltaiRedwitl:ljrt4he-corr~dor-of the.West-Robinson Creek and the created valley of the East Robinson Creek 8272 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000 The approved Master EnVironmental Servicing Plan envisioned an on-line flood control structure built into a bridge crossing at the extreme downstream portion of the West Robinson Creek, However, a temporary structure is required as the downstream landowner is not pursuing development of the lands where the permanent structure is to be constructed The interim quantity structure consists of a large berm spanning the corridor which will control flows greater that the 5 year storm events. A permanent on line control structure will be incorporated into the lowering of the East Robinson Creek Pollution A diversion channel approved as part of the first permit will be constructed to contain the flows dUring the lowering of the East Robinson Creek. An on stream sediment trap will also be constructed at the downstream end of the channel lowering to contain any remaining flows at the immediate construction site. All flows will be directed to a tableland SWM pond to ensure that the downstream portion of the tributary is not adversely impacted A crossing is required at the downstream end of the lowering of the East Robinson Creek. The applicant is proposing an open foot box culvert that will straddle the low flow channel. The works will be conducted in the dry using a diversion channel during construction The flood control structure on the West Robinson Creek will be constructed in the dry as the applicant proposes to dam and pump around the construction site All disturbed areas Will be restored with native woody riparian vegetation Currently there is no woody vegetation on the West Robinson Creek and minimal on the East Robinson Creek. Conservation of Land The channel lowering will include a series of off-line wetlands and the creation of a well defined valley and Will result In a longer stream length that will be well vegetated This will result in an improvement as the eXisting channel is straight and has minimal woody vegetation A stormwater pond Will be constructed at the upstream end of the channel lowering A 10 metre buffer is also proposed on both sides of the new valley with a pedestrian trail being located within the buffer There IS an eXisting cold water fishery at 16th Avenue Both branches of Robinson Creek contribute to thiS downstream fishery; however, cold water inputs do not begin until just north of 16th Avenue. Fish passage is being provided at the flood control structures, Authorization is required from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and a permit approval from the Ministry of Natural Resources.

The purpose is to remove and place fill in a fill regulated area while constructing the open cut section of the trunk sewer and the tunnel working shaft. The purpose also is to alter a watercourse through the out letting of the water from the dewatering of the shafts to the Cornell and Minto ponds. The project is part of the expansion of the York Durham Sewage System (YDSS) along the 9th line in Markham from 14th Avenue in the south to Major Mackenzie in the north with a distance of approximately 5A km The permit will be Issued for the period of May 12,2000 to May 11,2002 .

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information. Proposal' The proposal consists of the installation of a 2745mm diameter gravity sewer south of 16th Avenue and a 1675mm diameter gravity sewer north of 16th Avenue at a depth between 20 to 50 metres. Under the invert of the creek the cover will be approximately 5 m The majority of the sewers will be installed in a tunnel. A short section of the sewer north of the Little Rouge Creek is shallow and will be constructed in open cut construction Additionally, some smaller diameter sewers are required nearer to the ground surface to connect the development to the shaft locations and they will be constructed In open cut trenches The construction of the sewer along 9th Line will reqUire temporary lowering of the groundwater level to effectively tunnel and construct the sewer The water from the dewatering systems will be discharged into the existing storm sewers of adjacent subdivisions (Minto, Cornell) The majority of the dewatering discharge IS expected to be directed to the Rouge River and the Little Rouge Creek via eXisting stormwater management facilities The Town of Markham agreed to provide approval for the.dischar.ge..iAto.the..5y&emsl"'N0.dewateriRg,4s-ex~ected Aorth of 16th Avenue. Control of Flooding Staff has determined that the stormwater management ponds in neighbouring subdivisions will be able to accommodate this quantity of water and flooding will not be implicated during dewatering As all original grades Will be restored and all excavate for the volume of the pipe will be removed from the site, there will not be any loss of flood storage or any up or downstream impacts to the floodplain 8274 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000 Pollution Sediment and erosion control practices will be implemented during the open cut construction of the shallow trunk sewer north of the LIttle Rouge Creek to ensure that construction-generated sediments do not enter the watercourse During dewatering the stormwater management ponds will provide adequate detention that will eliminate concerns of the water quality Conservation of Land Based on the Dewatering Plan Report the dewatering program is not expected to substantially impact base flow since the stream channels, both the Rouge and the little Rouge Creek, are poorly connected to the deeper aquifers.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The Thackeray Landfill site IS located immediately north of Steeles Avenue, between the Kipling Avenue unopened nght-of-way and the Humber River, south of the Canadian National Railway line, These lands are owned by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authonty and are managed by the City of Toronto as part of our existing management agreement. The landfill is approximately 45 hectares in size An area of approximately 20 hectares east of Kipling Avenue was land filled with municipal solid waste, while a smaller area west of Kipling Avenue was land filled with excavated materials from nearby construction projects as well as some construction debris. The Thackeray Landfill is now closed It was operated between 1968 and 1978 by the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto (now City of Toronto) under an agreement with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Approximately 2,3 million tonnes of municipal solid waste were land filled during the operating life of the landfill, the estimated average depth of municipal solid waste is approximately 13 metres based on the proposed final contours for the landfill site. SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF PROJECT On April 13, 1999, the City of Toronto Council adopted a Works & Utilities Committee report recommending that proposals be requested and evaluated for the utilization of landfill gas from the Thackeray Landfill through the issuance of a Request for Expressions of Interest (REOI) and a Request for Proposals (RFP) The REOI was Issued on June 15, 1999 to prospective proponents and an advertisement was placed In newspapers for others who may be interested, The REOI closed July 5 1999 and three candidates were short-listed to receive RFPs. The City of Toronto Wishes to engage a contractor to deSign, construct, own and operate a landfill gas collection and utilization system at the Thackeray Landfill The Thackeray Landfill is the City's fourth largest landfill, All three larger landfills, Keele Valley, Brock West and Beare, have landfill gas collection and utilization systems, While the Thackeray Landfill is smaller, it is still considered a viable candidate for landfill gas collection and utilization 8286 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 May 12, 2000 - The actual site for the project upon which a contractor may install gas treatment and utilization facilities is a 0 5 hectare area of land near the landfill site entrance The site would include any necessary reasonable right-of-way for access to the site and any easements to provide access to water, sanitary and storm sewers, natural gas and electric services that may be required by the contractor The City has identified that an extension to the proposed site area may be negotiated depending upon the particular area requirements of the proposed project. The maintenance of the landfill site entrance and access road to the site will be the contractor's responsibility at the contractor's expense A plan illustrating both the Thackeray Landfill site and the area subject to the RFP by the City of Toronto is attached RATIONALE The area which would be subject to the lease by the City of Toronto is quite small in relation to the entire property The City of Toronto would continue to undertake quarterly sampling of ground and surface water at the landfill as part of its post-closure monitoring program Additionally, the City proposes to continue allowing the use of the landfill site by members of a local model aircraft flying club The collection and utilization of landfill gas has the enVIronmental benefit of reducing greenhouse gases emitted by the landfill, In addition to providing an energy source The City of Toronto currently receives revenues from the operators of the landfill gas utilization systems at its three largest landfills, and this proposal would provide an additional revenue stream to the City The City of Toronto currently manages approximately 4,047 hectares (10,000 acres) of Authority land for parks, recreational and conservation purposes. The cost of development and maintenance associated with these lands, in addition to taxes and other charges levied against these properties, are borne by the City of Toronto DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The approval of the Minister of Natural Resources in accordance with Section 21 (2) of the Conservation Authorities Act, R S 0 1990, Chapter C.27 is required for this lease However, given that the City of Toronto is currently in the process of finalising the RFP for these lands, specific details associated with a potential lease are not yet known The granting of an approval-In-pnnclple allows the City to proceed with the RFP, and upon having negotiated final lease terms and conditions with a successful proponent, Authority staff will report and seek Executive Committee approval Report prepared by .,Luch.,Qgnibene, .,extensjon -5284 Date May 3, 2000 Attachments (1) May 12, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/00 8267 .

Conservation of Land Through this reach of the Scarborough Sluffs, extensive bluff erosion has been occurring for a number of years and the existing houses along the shoreline side of Kingsbury Crescent have been Impacted by varying degrees. The Authority's previously completed toe revetment and slope stabilization works were undertaken to protect the existing structures that were at risk through this reach As part of staffs review of the consent application S46/98, TRCA staff felt that, aJthough successful to date, these erosion control works do not necessarily eliminate the inherent risk of subsequent erosion from occurring Accordingly, a geotechnical analysis and an addendum to the original report were submitted, establishing a setback of 10 metres from the projected long term stable slope line Due to the unique and dynamic features of the Scarborough Sluffs, TRCA staff requested an additional 10 metre structural setback (total of 20 metres) for a margin of safety for the proposed dwelling. The owner has agreed to the recommended structural setback of 20 metres from the bluff stable slope limit and final drawings are presently under review in this regard No significant features will be Impacted by the house construction and potential fisheries concerns will be mitigated by the Installation of Silt fenCing All filled and disturbed areas will be revegetated I stabilized follOWing construction Policy GUidelines.

These Bylaws became the subject of a hearing before the Ontario Municipal Board which commenced in late 1995 The Ontario MuniCipal Board approved By-law 1994 - 149 for the centraJ site on December 18, 1995, and subsequently approved By-law (1994 - 197) for the remaining lands on February 28, 1996 The Board's decision was appealed by one property owner on the grounds that the Board erred in law and on June 13, 1996, the Honourable Justice Steele refused leave to the property owner to appeaJ to the DivisionaJ Court. At meeting #3/93, the Authority on April 23, 1993 adopted the Revised Project for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park (March 1993) at a expenditure of $8,350,000 The project was subsequently approved by 1) The City of Etobicoke on June 1, 1993, 2) The MunicipaJity of Metropolitan Toronto on July 7,8,1993,3) The Province of Ontario (Ministry of Natural Resources) on July 5, 1993, and 4) The Ontario Municipal Board on March 31, 1994 Construction The Authority commenced the construction of the public amenity area in June 1996 and the project was completed In 1999 with the official opening on June 19, 1999 (See attached photo) The former City of Etoblcoke secured funding through the Canada Ontario Infrastructure Program ($11,650,000) to upgrade the existing services on Lake Shore Boulevard, to instaJl new services under Waterfront Drive, to construct Waterfront Drive and to construct a storm water management quality faCility for the motel strip area, now known as Humber Bay Shores. The Authority conveyed the land reqUired for Waterfront Drive to the City of Toronto early in 2000 and Waterfront Drive IS now open to the public.

HISTORY OF CLAIMS Proudfoot Motels Limited (Young) shown as Parcels 3 & 8 on the attached map The Authority expropriated any interest Proudfoot Motels had in 0.770 acres of Crown land located south of Parcel 3. The Authority also expropriated 1.271 acres from Parcel 8 of which approximately o 95 acres are beneath the waters of Lake Ontario I n the 1950's extensive lake filling was done in the Motel Strip area. I n the case of Parcel 3 the lands on which the filling was done was owned by the Crown In the early 1980's Proudfoot Motels commenced an action claiming by adverse possession the filled land south of Parcel 3. This matter IS being dealt with by the Attorney General's Office of the Province The Authority expropriated the land at the rear of Parcel 3 to ensure the Authority had good title, in case Proudfoot Motels were successful In their claim against the Crown It is anticipated that the OMB will require the ownership Issue be dealt With prior to determining the compensation Red Carpet Inns Limited (Vona) shown as Parcel 5 on the attached map The Authority expropriated any interest Red Carpet Inns had in 0.324 acres of Crown land located south and west of Parcel 5 of which approximately 0.08 acres are beneath the waters of Lake Ontario The Authority aJso expropriated 0 885 acres from Parcel 5 of which approximately 0 44 acres are beneath the waters of Lake Ontario In 1959 Vona purchased Parcel 5 The deed included Crown land south and west of Parcel 5 , shown as Parcel 31 on the attached map, however he did not get good title to this land as a Crown patent was never issued In 1981 the Authority entered into negotiations with Red Carpet Inns to secure a strip of waterfront lands in public ownership By 1983, an agreement had been reached to exchange lands subject to approval by the Province This agreement left Red Carpet Inns with a more regular shaped parcel of land and secured a waterfront strip in public ownership The exchange with the Province did not take place As a result of the land exchange between Red Carpet Inns and the Province not being completed, Red Carpet Inns commenced an action against the Province and the Authority in February of 1995, claiming In excess of $17 million ThiS claim is being defended by the Authority's insurer <. '-. On June 19,2000, mediation of Red Carpet Inns' claim for compensation pursuant to the Authority's expropriation and for damages for breach of the alleged agreement to exchange lands will commence before Mr Corey, a former Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.

WITHDRAWN BACKGROUND The City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority have been approached by the Lambton Golf Club to investigate the feasibility of removing a portion of the concrete channel which conveys the Slack Creek through the golf course to its confluence with the Humber River The golf course is interested in improving the course through the integration of a more naturaJ drainage feature. Several meetings were held between Lambton, the City, the Authority and the Slack Creek Project to discuss their initiative and the merits to undertaking a study to review the feasibility of such an undertaking In addition to the removal and regeneration of the channel, several additional objectives were added to the study The City of Toronto, supported by the Authority required that an assessment of potential to treat the Slack Creek storm flows to improve water quaJity discharges from the Creek to the Main Humber River was added, aJong with a requirement for a review of environmental management practices within the golf course The Lambton Golf Club is also currently undertaking a study related to renewing its permit to take water for irrigation purposes, as such there may also be an opportunity to assist in resolving their irrigation needs through an integration with any water quality treatment features, thereby removing an online water taking and dam within the Humber River Through discussions with the Lambton Golf Club, the City of Toronto, the Slack Creek Project and ourselves, it was determined that the Authority would be the appropriate agency to administer this study, and that the study be undertaken in three independent phases. The Authority has obtained three proposals to undertake the study The proposals include costs for all three phases and are as follows: Marshall.Macklin Monaghan Ltd --Phase One.- '-$11,,-220 Phase Two $12,315 Phase Three $15,440 T otaJ Cost: $38,975 + Taxes Dillon Consulting Phase One $16,610 Phase Two $20,485 Phase Three $18,590 TotaJ Cost: $55,685 + Taxes 8331 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 June 2, 2000 Totten Sims Hubicki Phase One. $27,375 Phase Two $15,291 Phase Three $14,206 TotaJ Cost: $56,872 + Taxes RATIONALE The Authority is proposing to administer this study as the study objectives in removing and naturalizing the concrete channel are in keeping with the objectives of the Humber River Watershed Strategy, Legacy, a Strategy for a Healthy Humber The removal of a section of the Authority's flood control infrastructure while retaining its function will reduce our long term operational maintenance and replacement costs. The integration of water quality features within the golf course will lead to the improvement of water quality within the Humber River and Lake Ontario in keeping with the goals of the Toronto RAP( Remedial Action Plan) DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The Authority has developed a Terms of Reference for undertaking this study and has defined three separate study phases. The first phase is a feasibility to determine the technical feasibility of undertaking any removal of the concrete while maintaining the current levels of flood protection the channel offers, splitting of Slack Creek storm flows and storage requirements to achieve a reasonable level of water quaJity treatment and whether these activities can be undertaken while maintaining the golf course needs. The second phase of the study includes further detailed review and preliminary design of any selected options which are approved by the study participants to be brought forward for further investigation The second phase will only proceed upon written agreement from the study participants. The third and final phase will proceed under the same study team requirements to fine tune the preliminary design of the final selected option. The study will follow the Authority's Class Environmental Assessment process to include the public and be integrated with the Humber Watershed Alliance process as well. FINANCIAL DETAILS The financing of this study will be split between the City of Toronto and the Authority, with both agencies agreeing to an upset cost of $ 30,000 each, The funds from the City of Toronto have been have been approved through City Council and transferred to the Authority The Authority's share along with the City funds are available in account 113-35 For information contact: Don Haley, extension 5226 Date.

RES.#B82/00 - HUMBER RIVER WATERSHED HYDROLOGY MODEL - UPDATE To update the Humber River Watershed Hydrology Model Moved by' Donna Patterson Seconded by' Lorna Sissell June 2, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 8332 THAT the consulting firm of Aquafor Beech Ltd. be retained, at a cost of $28,750, exclusive of GST, to undertake the Humber River Watershed Hydrology Model - Update ..... CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1997, the Humber River Watershed Hydrology/Hydraulics and Stormwater Management Study was completed by Aquafor Beech Ltd. Sinqe that time, a number of issues have arisen requiring that the model be updated For example, since the completion of the study, the extent of proposed urbanization has exceeded what was originally assumed RATIONALE Rather than request proposals from a number of consultants, it is proposed to sole source this work to Aquafor Beech Ltd. as their existing knowledge of the model would provide efficiencies. Aquafor Beech has also agreed to offer their services at a reduced rate for an approximate savings of 10%. FINANCIAL DETAILS Authority staff have provided a detailed task list to Aquafor Beech Ltd for which they have provided a quote of $28,750, exclusive of GST Staff are of the opinion that this amount represents good value for the extent of work requested For information contact: Darlene Conway~ extension 5278 Date: May 23,2000 RES.#B83/00 - RECOGNITION/EMPLOYEE AWARDS To adopt the recommendations of the Recognition/Employee Suggestion Award Sub-Committee.

The nominations are put forward for recommendation. The Committee is recommending to the Executive Committee that the trees be planted in a location meaningful to the recipient, rather than a site chosen by the Committee. The Committee has decided that the Honour Roll Awards presentation become a recognition/appreciation event and that it be held in the evening This would hopefully be a more suitable time for many of our volunteers, as well as other invitees. In this regard, the event is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, June 20th from 7-9 pm at Black Creek Pioneer Village For information contact: J Craig Mather, 416-667-6289 Date: May 25, 2000 RES.#B84/00 - ROUGE RIVER WATERSHED HYDROLOGY UPDATE Consultant Selection To retain a consultant to update the Authority's existing hydrologic model for the Rouge River Watershed Moved by' Donna Patterson Seconded by' Lorna Bissell THAT the consulting firm of Marshall Macklin Monaghan be retained to update the existing hydrology model for the Rouge River watershed as outlined in the Terms of Reference prepared by TRCA, at a cost of $29,900 (exluding GST) . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1986, TRCA commissioned Marshall Macklin Monaghan to undertake the Rouge River Urban Drainage Plan Study (RRUDS) The purpose of that study was to assist the TRCA, the watershed municipalities and provincial agencies in a review of existing watershed management strategies, policies and criteria relating to urban drainage within the Rouge River watershed A number of technical studies were carried out during the two phases of the study in order to provide information on impacts of urbanization on storm runoff quantity and quality control and environmental and fisheries resources. The results of the study assisted the parties in confirming existing management strategies and in developing new strategies for implementation within the Rouge River June 2, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 8334 The QHROUGE model (based on QUALHYMO Version 1 1) was developed as part of the RRUDS A number of land use scenarios were modelled ranging from existing to very high growth to ultimate growth (complete development) As development planning has proceeded over the past decade, the model has been updated in some sub-areas by incorporating more detailed sub-models prepared by consultants carrying out the planning studies. In some areas, development has aJready exceeded the limits identified within the Very High Growth scenario of the RRUDS In order to have a more comprehensive framework for future planning decisions, it is appropriate to update the model at this time. RATIONALE Three consultant groups submitted proposals based on the Terms of Reference for this project. An upset limit of $30,000, excluding G.S T , was established Cumming Cockburn Limited $48,740 Marshall Macklin Monaghan $29,900 Greenland InternationaJ Consulting Inc. $35,840 Staff of the TRCA has selected Marshall Macklin Monaghan This selection is based on the consultants submission of a fee proposal for consulting services which best satisfies the set of written selection criteria The criteria included the requirement to have pr~vious project involvement in the Rouge River watershed, proven und~rstanding of the requirements of the assignment and previous experience with projects of a similar nature In addition, the qualifications of the team including expertise in engineering and hydrologic modelling, the overall quality of the submitted proposals, and the presentation of the project schedule was assessed Marshall Macklin Monaghan is the most familiar with the project details, having carried out the original study and the quote provided was below the upset limit established in the terms of reference for the project. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Marsh~1 Macklin Monaghan is expected to commence work on this project immediately A start-up meeting will be held with TRCA and Marshall Macklin Monaghan staff to review, in further detail the work required.

Moved by' Donna Patterson Seconded by' Lorna Bissell June 2, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 8338 THAT the City of Vaughan be advised that: 1. although local and regional municipal governance models are of great interest to the Authority, the Authority's jurisdiction is based on watersheds rather than municipal political boundaries and because any new municipal structure would allow the Authority to fulfill its mandate, it would be inappropriate to comment specifically on the various models put forward, 2. the Authority does not support the notion that the Authority's watershed management responsibilities duplicate in any way the local municipal responsibilities, but rather complement and support municipal decision-making through the provision of good environmental science, technical information and advice based on a water~hed perspective, 3. the Authority supports the concept of a GTA level body which can bring additional funding and policy development to the protection of our natural resources and our environment; 4. within any changes to the local, regional or GTA municipal structure, the concept of managing our natural resources on a watershed basis must be maintained, AND FURTHER THAT the City of Vaughan be requested to include the concept of managing our natural resources on a watershed basis within any recommendations it might make with respect to the future governance of the GTA . . ..... .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The City of Vaughan retained Mr Gardner Church to prepare a report which would provide the City with some options the City could put forward regarding municipal restructuring within the GTA and within the Region of York in particular The Report makes several recommendations and provides various options for the restructuring of the municipalities within the Region of York A copy of the recommendations is attached to this report. The Report provides an overview of the many challenges facing the Region and the GTA, an overview of various criteria that would be used to evaluate restructuring options and an evaluation of the various options put forward Because the Authority's jurisdiction is based on the watershed boundaries not the municipal political boundaries, the Authority should not be commenting on the municipal restructuring options. This should be left to municipalities, their constituents and the province of Ontario Obviously, any municipal restructuring would have some impact on issues such as the distribution of funding and Al:lthority membership,..l3wt.these caR-be w0Fk-ed-Qut once the municipal structure has been decided The Conservation Authorities Act, for example, provides some direction as to how municipalities share the funding of the Authority and how membership would be determined. 8339 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 June 2, 2000 Mr Church, apart from making recommendations regarding the municipaJ structure within the Region of York, aJso made some recommendations for the governance of the GT A as a whole through the establishment of a Greater Toronto Executive Council (GTEC) These recommendations have implications for the Authority for it would appear that this Authority and the other Authorities within the GTA would be eliminated or at least some of their responsibilities for watershed management would be given to the municipalities and the GTEC He does not address the many other responsibilities that the Authorities have related to recreation, education, the management of a significant amount of land and the operation and maintenance of many flood and erosion control structures. The following recommendations from Mr Church's report identify the role and responsibilities of the GTEC' 1 The Greater Toronto Area, including Hamilton, Halton, Peel, Toronto, York and Durham should be governed by approximately 10 cities and a powerful Greater Toronto Executive Gouncil (GTEG) which would have policy setting and regulatory responsibilities in a number of key areas and only a few administrative roles. 2. The policy responsibilities of the GTEG should include. . social services policy and funding, . police governance, . transportation planning and transportation infrastructure funding, . growth management through urban design policies that have the force of law, . policy for water and sewage treatment and financing of truck distribution, . conservation and watershed management, . external marketing of Toronto and its environs. 3. The administrative functions of the GTEG should be restricted to those matters that cannot reasonably be assigned to the municipal governments in the GTA. They would include GO transit, a treasury function and a council secretariat, a policy group, watershed management and police governance (pending results of a policing study) 4 The GTEG should replace all regional bodies, conservation authorities, the Go Transit Board, and the Greater Toronto Services Board 5 The GTEG should raise much of its budget from user charges and should have access to a property tax levy collected by the municipalities of the GTA. 6. The GTEG should consist of the Mayors and Deputy Mayors of the approximately 10 municipalities in a restructured GTA. Multiple voting should be provided to give fair, but not full, weight to the larger municipalities.in.the GTA. Mr Church's report contains a short section on Watershed Management in which he suggests that the work of the Authority duplicates that of the municipalities and that policy development for our natural environment should rest with a body at the GT A level which he later suggests should be the GTEC This section is provided below June 2, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 8340 Watershed Management . There is convincing evidence that the current division of responsibilities between a system of special purpose bodies and municipalities is both duplicative and ineffective. The reports by David Crombie written in the last decade, demonstrate the need for an integrated GTA watershed management function. This function is linked to growth planning and infrastructure development. The future quality of the wet lands, river systems and lakeshores requires that a body at the GTA level have the clear and sole responsibilities to develop policies in this area. COMMENT As indicated earlier, it would be inappropriate for the Authority to comment on the various recommendations related to the municipal structure within the Region of York or on the recommendation which would create the Greater Toronto Executive Committee (GTEC), a body somewhat similar in nature to the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB) The Authority's jurisdiction should not be affected by any municipal structure as we carry out our responsibilities on a watershed basis, not political boundaries. Similarly, the creation of a GTEC instead of a GTSB should not affect the Authorities role or responsibilities. The current GTSB or a new body such as the GTEC can in fact provide additional support to our work through the provision of f~nding and policy help at the GT A level It is appropriate to comment on the suggestion that the work of the Authorities can be carried out by the local municipalities and that the Authorities should be replaced by the GTEC Although the Report does not suggest what functions would be carried out by the municipalities, it does recommend that the GTEC should be responsible for conservation and watershed management. In 1995, the six Authorities within the GT A presented a brief to the GT A Task Force (Golden Committee) This Brief provided an overview of what Conservation Authorities do, outlined the principles of watershed management and made several recommendations ensuring that the concept of managing on the basis of watersheds would not be lost in any restructuring of the GT A. Also, it highlighted the need for the protection of our environment and the effective management of our natural resources to be considered in making any recommendations for the restructuring of the GT A. Mr Church's report is similar to the GTA Task Force exercise and the issues with respect to the protection of our environment in any restructuring discussion, remain According, it is appropriate to respond to the City of Vaughan's report on the restructuring of the Region of York and the GTA with the same recommendations provided to the GTA Task Force in 1995 The recommendations contained in the Authorities' 1995 Brief do not suggest that the creation of a body such as a GTEC with responsibility for watershed management would be inappropriate. They do support retaining-the-concept of-managing-oljr natural-resources'on a watershed basis as opposed to any political boundary Also, these recommendations confirms that the Authorities do not duplicate municipal functions but rather complement them Municipalities, because they are not watershed based, could not provide the watershed perspective that is required when making various planning decisions. Because the Authority is able to provide this watershed perspective, there is no need for each municipality to duplicate the Authority expertise. Also, without this expertise, downstream municipalities could not be assured that the downstream impacts of upstream decisions are considered 8341 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 June 2, 2000 The pertinent recommendations from the Authority's 1995 Brief are provided below . the protection of our environment and the effective management of our natural resources within the GTA must be part of your decision making process, . the watershed must be the basic management unit for environmental protection and natural resource management, . watershed based planning and management must be a component of planned growth management and human health, . conservation authorities must be confirmed as the agencies responsible for watershed management, . in order to achieve streamlining and to eliminate duplication of services, a comprehensive approach to the delivery of natural resource management and environmental protection programs must utilize conservation authorities as the locally based "one-window" agency, as proposed in a brief prepared by the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario, for presentation to the Province of Ontario, Restructuring Resource Management in Ontario, . the provincial government must rationalize its water management strategies, with a much greater emphasis on ground water protection and management, . there must be a rationalization of the financing of all aspects of watershed management carried out through the conservation authorities, . the headwaters, valley and stream corridors, the Oak Ridges Moraine, the Niagara Escarpment and the Lake Ontario and Simcoe waterfronts must form the "green infrastructure" of the GTA and their features, functions and landforms must be protected, . the conservation authorities within the GTA are flexible and willing to embrace change for the betterment of their watersheds and recognize that, as the structure and governance of the GTA evolves, we must change to meet the demands of the future in a renewed and revitalized GTA. The GTA Task Force released their report in January of 1996 In commenting on this report the six Authorities within the GTA were pleased to report that virtually all of the recommendations put forward in our Brief were incorporated within the GTA Task Force's report either as specific recommendations or as part of the supporting rationale within the text. Specifically related to the question of managing on-a watershed.basis, the-GTA.T.ask-F-oree-Rot,only endorsed the concept of watershed management but supported the Conservation Authorities as the logical delivery agency June 2, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 8342 SUMMARY It is expected there will be many reports similar to the City of Vaughan's over the next little while as the 905 Region deals with the restructuring issue. As in our Brief to t{1e GT A Task Force and now in our response to the Vaughan report, the concept of managing our naturaJ resources on a watershed basis must not be lost. Ontario is the envy of the world with respect to using the watershed as the basis for natural resource management. In the Brief to the GTA Task Force we attempted to outline the importance of the watershed approach and it is worth repeating in this report. The bolded text below is an excerpt from the Brief The Watershed Unit Managing on a watershed basis is fundament~1 and has become broadly accep~ed. The management of natural-resources takes place most effectively within the context of a natural resource system, an ecosystem. A watersh~d provides an ecosystem wherein "everything is connected to everything else"; where activities upstream impact on conditions downstream. The authorities' work in conservation and stewardship of renewable natural resources on a watershed basis puts them in the position of technical expert on land-water issues. Because of our unique area of jurisdiction, and recognizing that natural systems do not follow political boundaries, conservation aU,thorities must work across jurisdictional boundaries and require. an understanding of the political complexities of ecosystem management. The management of our natural resources on a watershed basis lends itself to the opportunity to address "jurisdictional gridlock" by enabling one agency to develop and implement natural resource management throughout the watershed. This not only supports an ecosystem approach based on the input of the community, but is more cost effective, accountable and consistent. The Principles of Watershed Management In order to deliver effective watershed management it is necessary: . to conserve ecosystems in a sustainable manner or, where degraded, to regenerate; . to consider the entire ecosystem and all interrelationships amongst components in a comprehensive way; . to effectively incorporate community interest in any watershed management decision, . to ensure management decisions that are consistent with matters of provincial policy and direction, . to ensl:lre simplicitYi-efficiency.and cost-eff-ectiveness;-'and . to develop and maintain intermunicipal and interagency coordination and cooperation. 8343 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 June 2, 2000 I am therefore recommending that the Authority in their comments on the City of Vaughan report indicate that the local, Regional and GTA governance models are of great interest to us, but our mandate and jurisdiction does not rely on the municipaJ structure and therefore we are prepared to work within whatever structure is ultimately recommended and implemented We do however have great concerns about losing the watershed based approach for natural resource management and we would urge the City of Vaughan to support this concept.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The proposed study will investigate the feasibility of removing the concrete channel and providing stormwater quality to the Black Creek flows prior to entering the Humber River within the Lambton Golf course. The original motivation for undertaking this study came from the Golf Course which is interested in removing the concrete channel and replacing it with a softer more natural watercourse feature, to improve the aesthetics and playability of their course The Authority in conjunction with the City of Toronto agreed to undertake the study in three phases with the understanding that our design concerns related to flooding and water quality were forefront in the process. In the consultant selection process, all members of the Study team, which included, the City of Toronto, Black Creek Project, Lambton Golf Club and the TRCA ranked Dillon Consulting first. The firm of Marshall Mack~in Monaghan Ltd. was originally-selected-as second, but the significant overall cost differences between Dillon's proposal and that of Marshall Macklin Monaghan Ltd led us to select them as the consultant to be awarded the study contract for phase one The Lambton Golf course expressed some concern related to this selection and requested that we revise our selection While we were not in a position to expend additional public funds , we recognised that the cooperation and support of the Lambton Golf Club will be a crucial element in developing a successful approach to re-naturalizing this section of the Black Creek. Staff informed Lambton that while we could not justify selecting Dillon Consulting Ltd. based upon the economics, however, if June 2, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/00 8344 Lambton was prepared to fund-the difference in costs for the overall study based upon the phased approach, it was felt that we could select Dillon Consulting Ltd. At the Lambton Golf Club, Board of Directors Meeting, held May 29, 2000, the Club agreed to fund the difference in cost between the low bid and Dillon Consulting Confirmation of the Club's agreement to this funding process was received May 31, 2000. FINANCIAL DETAILS The financing of this study will be split between the City of Toronto and the Authority, with the Lambton Golf Club paying for the difference in overall ~tudy costs above the low bid costs for each phase. The City of Toronto and the Authority agreec;f to.an.upset cost of $ 30,000 each The total estimated cost of the study. to be done in 3 phases, based on the Dillon proposal is $55,685. The cost is $16,500 higher than the lowest cost proposal submitted by Marshall Macklin Monaghan. It is, therefore, estimated that the Lambton Golf Club will contribute $16,500 over the entire three phases of the study The funds from the City of Toronto have been approved through City Council and transferred to the Authority The Authority's share along with the City funds are available in account 113-35. The Authority will invoice the Lambton Golf Club for their share of the costs for each phase. For information contact: Don Haley, extension 5226 Date.

The works include construction of a new structure within the valley corridor of the Humber River, partially below top of bank of the Humber River Valley SITE HISTORY The existing parcel was created by Land Division Application B 180/86 This application was refused by the City of Vaughan in 1986 and subsequently approved by the Ontario Municipal Board in 1988. Through this process the Authority identified its concerns with the limited amount of tableland available to create a building lot. At that time, the Authority's concerns were addressed through the implementation of the Zoning By-law amendment application Z.145.85 which identified a building envelope for one dwelling on the subject property As a condition of approval, a Site Plan Agreement was registered on title on August 11, 1988 which identified that only one dwelling could be constructed on the property within the specified building envelope. The Agreement also identified that no fill was to be placed in the rear or side yards, and no vegetation was to be removed beyond the top of bank. Subsequent to the passing of the Zoning By-law Amendment, a severance application, B049/90 was received by the Authority in 1990 The concept plan submitted with the application identified a proposed second dwelling located over the top of bank. Authority staff did not support the application because it involved the placement of fill over the top of bank and development beyond the top of bank. The proposed concept did not comply with the previous conditions of approval granted under the Zoning By-law amendment. The application was withdrawn by the applicant. On January 18, 1991, the Authority received an application (008/91) under Ontario Regulation 158 to place fill within a Fill Regulated area, again to facilitate the construction of a proposed second dwelling on the same property This application did not comply with the Authority's policies for conservation of land and was recommended for a hearing Upon request by the applicant, the hearing was deferred, and later the application was withdrawn. POLICY AND RATIONALE In 1994, the Authority adopted the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. The policies in this document form the staff guidelines for reviewing development applications Pursuant to the policies in this document, staff has confirmed that a suitable building envelope does not exist on the tableland portion of the lot, due to potential geotechnical constraints and negative impacts on the conservation of land Staff has indicated our position in discussions with the proponent since early 1997 Friday, July 7, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 8351 In 1997 the Authority was circulated another application for the proposed severance of the lands in order to construct a new single family residence (B 104/97) In our letter of September 16, 1998 the Authority reiterated its position that we were not in- the position to support the application, based on Authority policy as expressed in our Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program Staff also reiterated that the proposal was not consistent with the Site Plan Agreement which was registered on title to protect the valley from any further development. The Land Division application approved by the City of Vaughan Committee of Adjustment in 1999 includes conditions which must be satisfied by August 2000 Staff has advised the applicant that the condition requiring approval from the TRCA can not be satisfied (as expressed in numerous correspondence on a number of applications) as there is no building envelope that will not negatively impact on Authority interests The applicant is seeking a formal position from the Authority in the form of a decision by this Hearing Board. The subject property is located entirely within the valley corridor of the Humber River and within the Authority's Fill Regulation Line. The Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (Section 4.2) states that new urban development shall not be permitted within valley and stream corridors This application constitutes new development in that there is no existing lot of record permitting the proposed new dwelling The objective of the Authority, as outlined in the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, is to prevent new development that would introduce risk to life and property associated with erosion, slope stability and flooding issues and the conservation of the natural valley corridor resource. The intent of the restriction registered on title, and the zoning by-law amendment, -both approved in 1988 was to provide appropriate protection measures to ensure that these objectives would be met. This position is supported by Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act and Regulation 158 which allows the Authority to permit or refuse in writing fill placement or development that may affect the control of flooding, pollution or the conservation of land A recent (1996) decision by the Mining and Lands Commissioner concluded that the conservation of an ecosystem is comprehended in the words "conservation of land" Staff are of the opinion that the proposed works on a individual and cumulative scale will result in impacts on the natural heritage system in the form of loss of forest cover and habitat and alteration to the valley feature. SUMMARY The proposed lot and residential building are located entirely within the valley corridor of the Humber River The proposal will introduce potential risk associated within slope stability and erosion and will negatively impact the function of the natural valley corridor On this basis, staff is recommending the-application be refused as it-affects the conservation of land For information Contact: Sandra Malcic, extension 5217 Date: June 28, 2000 Attachments (1) 8352 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 Friday, July 7, 2000 Attachment 1 _ ' , t.... ~"'I t, ~ ; r- ~ J ~ II Sandra Quenn ApplicatIon ,. ~:t ... 150 Bruce 8t ,- , .. ~~ .\ ..,-...-.t ~,-::- ~ ~ ' .... ~~:.:. t. ~1Il .

Purchase of property located south of Rutherford Road and east of Pine Valley Drive, City of Vaughan, under the "Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project 1996-2000" Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Humber River Watershed Moved by' Jim McMaster Seconded by' John Adams THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 0 187 hectares (0.46 acres), more or less, be purchased from the City of Vaughan, said land consisting of an irregular shaped parcel of land being Part of Lot 15, Concession 6 WYS, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, and designated as Block 12, Plan 65M-3252, THAT the purchase price be $2.00, THATthe Authority receive conveyance ofthe land required free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements, THAT Gardiner, Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to closing for land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be paid, AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #4/95 held on May 26,1995, Resolution #A131/95 approved the Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project. The lands in question form part of a larger parcel of land originally owned by 752872 Ontario Limited Through the development review process technical staff identified this parcel as forming part of a tributary valley corridor of the East Humber River, and suitable for public acquisition. The lands were scheduled to be transferred into Authority ownership as a condition of approval related to the draft plan of subdivision, instead this specific parcel was erroneously conveyed to the City of Vaughan along with a number of other municipal conveyances. Through recent discussions with staff at the City, it was felt these lands should be transferred to the Authority in light of our extensive adjoining land ownership at Boyd The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this proposal and is in concurrence with the acquisition of this property A plan illustrating the specific location is attached Friday, July 7, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 8361 RATIONALE This property is located within the Authority's approved master plan for acquisition and consists of a tributary valley of the East Humber River This parcel is also situated within the Pine Valley Forest Environmentally Significant Area (ESA #21) Securing this parcel in the Authority's ownership will further our conservation objectives and further consolidate our land holdings in this area. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Taxes on the property are estimated to be less than $100 for 2000 based on Current Value Assessment. The addition of the subject parcel of land will not significantly impact the Authority's maintenance costs at this location.

CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1999, the Authority retained the services of W F Baird and Associates to undertake a coastal engineering analysis of the sedimentation and shoreline erosion problems at Ashbridges Bay Park and Coatsworth Cut. W F Baird was awarded the assignment following a thorough review of submissions from three consultants Baird's fi'nal report provided a detailed documentation on the source and patterns of sedimentation and erosion which was supported by state-of-the art coastal numerical modelling With this knowledge and understanding of the problems, the study Steering Committee and Consultant developed four design concepts to address both the short term and long term solutions The four options ranged in cost from $150,000 annual maintenance dredging (lido-nothing" option) to $1 9 million for short breakwater extensions to $5 6 million for major modifications to Ashbridges Bay Park land base configuration Friday, July 7, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 8409 Following a meeting with members of the Steering Committee and Ashbridges Bay Boating Federation, Authority staff propose to present two preferred options for final analysis and review through the public consultation process. RATIONALE It is proposed to sole source this study to W F Baird and Associates on the basis that there will be efficiencies and continuity in the analysis ofthe preferred options The coastal engineering data base, developed as part of the initial analysis and development of alternatives, will be used to assess the preferred option and to complete the final design Baird has committed to providing an expert team, knowledgeable in coastal engineering, the public consultation process and the specific issues relating to the Ashbridges Bay Park area. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE This study will follow the Conservation Authorities Class Environmental Assessment process. A Steering Committee, representing members of the boating community, interested residents and City of Toronto staff will provide general input and guidance to the Consultant. in the final evaluation of options and development of the final design Staff prepared Terms of Reference for undertaking this study and Baird's proposal has fully addressed the various tasks. Specifically, the Consultant will . provide general coastal input and advice to the Committee members throughout the public consultation process and make presentations at public meetings, . complete a detailed coastal evaluation of the preferred option including potential impacts on shore processes, aquatic and terrestrial environments, . develop mitigation measures to address environmental, regulatory requirements and any public concerns, . complete the final design drawings, and . submit a final report documenting the evaluation process and coastal analysis of the final design to be incorporated in the Environmental Study Report. W F Baird has included a submission to undertake a water quality/circulation study as part of the evaluation and design process for developing the final design Authority staff propose to meet with City of Toronto Works Department staff to discuss the need for a coordinated water quality modelling study of Coatsworth Cut, and the final acceptance of this component of the study will be subject to the results of this meeting with City staff FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds to complete the final design study are budgeted under the "Toronto Waterfront Development Project 2000-2004" in Account No 211-24 For information contact: Nigel Cowey extension 5244 Date June 29, 2000 8410 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 Friday, July 7, 2000 RES.#B102/00 - POTABLE WATER SAFETY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM To advise the Chair and Members of the Executive Committee of the Authority's past practice with respect to potable water testing at it's public use facilities, the issues surrounding the closure of Claremont Field Centre and to request approval of the attached Potable Water Safety Management Program. Moved by Jim McMaster Seconded by Michael Di Biase THAT the attached Potable Water Safety Management Program be approved CARRIED BACKGROUND Past Practice The Authority has had an ongoing water testing program for many years The most recent version is contained within the Authority's Safety Manual and was last revised in December 1994 The program was designed to ensure monthly water sampling at all it's public use facilities consisting of the Authority's seven (7) conservation areas, it's four (4) Field Centres and the Kortright Centre for Conservation Of these facilities, Albion Conservation Area, Albion Field Centre and Claremont Field Centre have chlorinating equipmentfortreatment of their well water The Boyd Field Centre is equipped with a UV treatment system All other public use facilities either have well or municipal water supply and water quality has consistently met Ministry of Health guidelines so that chlorination of the water has not been required The Authority's past practice has required supervisors in each location to have water samples taken monthly The samples are forwarded to the Safety Officer who transports them to the appropriate testing laboratories with the exception of the Claremont Field Centre which transports their sample to a laboratory directly The results of the water sampling are reported from the laboratory to the Safety Officer who acts upon any poor readings The program operates within the guidelines of the Ministry of Health and has operated without incident until the closing of the Claremont Field Centre due to poor water quality this past June 1 Claremont Incident: The events at Claremont unfolded as follows During May, the water testing was operating in the normal manner On May 24, staff confirmed the chlorinator was working properly On May 29 a water sample was taken by the Durham Health Unit. Later that same day staff discovered that the chlorinator pump was not working On June 1 the Claremont Field Centre was ordered closed by the Durham Regional Health Unit The order was issued because the total coliform count was greater than 80ppm while the e-coli count was zero This closure was a precautionary move. The cause of the high coliform count was attributable to the malfunction of the pump which supplied chlorine to the chlorinator The equipment has been repaired, the water determined safe and the closure of the Claremont Field Centre was lifted as of June 29th It is now open and operational Unfortunately the closure was for a period of 4 weeks which nas resulted in not only a significant loss of revenue but also client's questioning the safety of our water and in one case a request for relocation from Claremont to a different location Future Practice In light of the Claremont inCident and a review of our procedures, we have identified some areas where we could improve upon our water testing program at our public use facilities These improvements consist of developing protocols for' Friday, July 7, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 8411 . daily checking of water equipment . daily testing of residual chlorine.

Three (3) water samples must be taken 1 week apart prior to opening any facility Only 3 consecutive samples with resulting 0 total coliform and 0 e coli (fecal) coliform counts are acceptable for the re-opening of a facility Once this has been achieved water samples must be taken monthly The Safety Officer will visit each site during the first week of each month to take all samples and transport to a provincial testing laboratory Safety Officer's Responsibilities The Safety Officer will take water samples during the first week of each month in accordance with the following procedure (a) Record the code number of the sample on the test bottle cap with a waterproof felt marker The codes for all locations are shown on the lists at the end of this section under Drinking Water Sample Codes ii) To avoid contamination, keep the sample bottle sealed until ready to sample (ie. After steps jii) and iv) below have been completed) Do not allow anything to touch the inside of the bottle cap or neck. jji) Remove any hose, aerator, screen or washers from the tap iv) Run the water for 3 minutes and fill the sample bottle to the mark indicated without changing the rate of the water flow If a hand pump is involved, pump for at least 3 minutes (e) Put the cap back on tightly, store in a cooler and deliver to a provincial testing laboratory that same day Friday, July 7, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 8413 Supervisor's Responsibilities i) If a facility has been shut down for a period greater than 1 month the facility supervisor must contact the Safety Officer to arrange for water sampling before the facility is re-open The supervisor is required to-allow sufficient time for at leasf3 consecutive water tests to be taken and results known before re-opening 2) Water Samplin~r Results, Actions Required Safety Officer's Responsibilities i) The Safety Officer is responsible for obtaining the test results within 3 days of the testing and reviewing the results. The test results will indicate a result for total coliform and a result for e.coli (fecal) coliform. Total coliform is an indicator of the bacteriological quality of the drinking water Coliforms are not necessarily harmful but their occurrence in water may indicate the presence of other pathogenic organisms. Coliforms can originate from such sources as soil, vegetation, human and animal wastes A result indicating total coliforms in the water does not necessarily indicate the presence of e.coli coliform. E.coli bacteria are normally harmless inhabitants of the intestines of humans and animals The presence of e-coli in drinking water is a definitive indicator of recent fecal pollution and therefore poses a potential health risk. ii) Upon receipt of the results the Safety Officer will take the following actions . If results are 0 total coliform and 0 e.coli (fecal) coliform no action is required If a rating of 0 total coliform and 0 e.coli (fecal) coliform is not received the Safety Officer must take the following action: . If an e.coli (fecal) coliform rating of 1 or more is received, he/ she will contact the facility and order an immediate shut down of the water system which 'Will remain in effect until it is declared safe. . If a total coliform-rating of 1 to 10 is received with an e coli (fecal) coliform rating of 0, he/she will advise the facility of the results and re-sample within 7 days. . If total coliform ratin!;1 of over 10 is received, he/ she will contact the facility and order an immediate shut down of the water system which will remain in effect until it is declared safe. Hi) Where a water system is shut down, the Safety Officer will ensure this has occurred and will work with Facility staff for 1dentification' and-correction of the problem. iv) In all cases the Safety Officer will forward a hard copy of the test results to the facility Supervisor as well as retain a copy for his/ her files Supervisor's Responsibilities i) The supervisor is responsible to comply with the direction of the Safety Officer as noted above. 8414 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 Fnday, July 7, 2000 ii) He/ She must ensure they receive a copy of each month's water testing results and maintain a file for inquiry by the public or future reference 3) Water Equipment Protocols Overview Equally important to an ongoing Water Testing Program, is the requirement to ensure on a daily basis that all water equipment is working in an effective manner This is to be achieved by daily checks of the chlorination and UV equipment. Also where chlorination equipment is used, a daily check of the chlorine level at outflow sources must be conducted Supervisor's Responsibilities i) Where a location is equipped with chlorination equipment for their water supply the facility supervisor must ensure an employee is assigned each day to carry out the EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES section as described below ji) Arrange for training of staff with respect to the chlorination equipment. The training is to be provided by the authorized supplier/contractor of the system iii) Retraining of staff and inspection of the chlorination equipment should occur annually iv) Where chlorine level or equipment malfunction is detected, remedy the problem immediately and contact the Safety Officer Emplovee's Responsibilities On a daily basis the aS5igned employee must. i) Check the chlorination equipment at the location to ensure it is in good working order ( where training IS required, a recognized contractor will provide the training) ii) Record the fact that the check was done by initially in the Equipment Log Book immediately after conducting the check. iil) Test the chlorination level of the water from an outflow with the testing equipment provided iv) Record the results of the test In the Chlorination Level Log Book immediately after determining the test results i) Where chlorination equipment is not working or the chlorination level is below or above advise the facility supervisor immediately for corrective action Safety Officer' responsibilities i) The Safety Officer is responsible for ensuring the above noted checks are carried out as required by auditing both the Equipment Log Book and the Chlorination Level Log Book on a monthly basis Friday, July 7, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 8415 ii) Where equipment or chlorination level problems are detected the Safety Officer will decide whether the facility's water supply shall be shut off In all cases where we cannot be certain that the water sulmJy is safe for human consumption and use, we must shut off the water system immediately and seek direction from the !W.R.rQPriate internal, ~uthorities. . 8416 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/00 Friday, July 7, 2000 TERMINATION ON MOTION, the meetiny terminated at 1046 a.m., on July 7,2000 Dick O'Brien Craig Mather Chair Secretary Treasurer /ks c... , THE TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/00 July 28, 2000 Page B417 The Executive Committee Meeting #7/00, was held in the South Theatre, Black Creek Pioneer Village, on Friday, July 28,2000.

Moved by' Joan King Seconded by John Adams THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff be directed to pursue an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board on a decision of the Committee of Adjustment for the City of Toronto to conditionally approve an application by Bowanlnvestments Inc. to subdivide Part of Block 64, Plan 66M-2304, Don River, City of Toronto (former North York), AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to appear before Council forthe City of Toronto, when and if they consider th~ matter of amending the subdivision agreement for Draft Plan of Subdivision 55T-94004 as required by a condition imp~sed on the consent application for Bowan Investments Inc. voicing our objection to this application. AMENDMENT RES.#B106/00 Moved by Joan King Seconded by' John Adams THAT the following be F.nserted as the second paragraph of the main motion. THAT staff send a letter to the Chair of North York Community Council, copied to the Departments of Planning, Legal, Parks and Recreation, and Real Estate, requesting that the City of Toronto deal with this application before it goes to the Ontario Municipal Board and to report to the October City Council Meeting. THE AMENDMENT WAS . . . . CARRIED THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND Bowan Investments Inc. recently applied to the Committee of Adjustment for a severance of a block of land at the end of Bowan Court for the express purpose of adding land to three surrounding lots This land is part of the valley corridor of the East Don. Part of the block is valley side slope and part is within 10 metres of the top of bank. The addition of the land to those lots will effectively result in residential lots being established below the top of bank. 8422 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/00 July 28, 2000 When this subdivision was dealt with in 1995, the Authority and the developer discussed the lot and block layouts It was agreed that the block (now referred to as Block 64 and then referred to as Block 65) would not be used for residential purposes and would be conveyed back to the Sisters of St Joseph for the Diocese of Toronto in Upper Canada (the original landowner in the area) or conveyed to the City or the Authority Conditions 6, 7 and 16 on Plan of Subdivision 55T- 94004 clearly stated this The lots were reconfigured at that time to accommodate these conditions ensuring that the lots met City standards as well as the applicants desire for spacious lots On May 5, 1999, the subdivision agreement was registered with the City The agreement contained clause 1 7 6 which required Bowan to convey Block 64 to the Sisters This has never been complied with In 2000, Bowan Investments Inc made application to the Committee of Adjustment to sever Block 64 to convey the parts thereof to the adjoining landowners of Lots 26, 27 and 28. This will effectively make these lots bigger and more importantly will eliminate the buffer between the top of bank and the lots and will also result in a private lot on the valley side slopes The Official Plan for the City discourages any severance within the valley corridor and we believe that permitting this severance does not reflect the intent of the Official Plan However, the Committee of Adjustment over the Authority's opposition, approved the severance of Block 64 subject to a condition that Bowan achieve an amendment of the subdivision agreement essentially releasing it from its obligation to convey the lands to the Sisters or the City or the Authority The appeal deadline for Consent Application B 030/00 NY is July 27, 2000 As such, staff has appealed the matter to the Ontario Municipal Board on the basis of the following rationale. Staff are seeking support from the Executive Committee on this appeal RATIONALE Based on Authority Policy the appeal has been requested based on the following rationale This rationale has been forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Board by Jonathan Wigley of Baker & McKenzie Barristers & Solicitors to support our appeal 1 Bowan Investments Inc. seeks to sever into four parcels, an irregular parcel of land at the end of Bowan Court within the valley corridor of the Don River 2 The expressed purpose of the severance is to allow part of an undeveloped subdivision block (Block 64) ~() be added to existing lots 26, 27 and 28 to increase their lot sizes 3 Block 64 contains land above and below top of bank in this vicinity 4 The Valley am: Stream Corridor Management Program of the Authority prohibits new development, including the creation of residential lots to extend into the valley corridor In particular, the Authority is most concerned about residential lots extending below the top of bank. ... , , July 28, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/00 8423 5 When the subdivision (of which Block 64 is part) was approved, draft plan conditions were established in con;:;ultation with the TRCA ~r;)d the developer, Bowar Investments Inc The -Authority requir~d thatBlock 64 not be us~q for residential purposes and be retained-in the ownership of the Sisters' of St. Joseph for the Diocese of Upper Canada (the original land owner of the subdivision) or alternatively transferred to publiQ ownership with the City of Toronto or the Authority The developer agreed to deliver the tand back to the ownership of the-Sisters and a specific clause was included in the Subdivision Agreement registered on title'to that effect. (This'c1atIs~ incorrectly refers to Block 65 but clearly meant Block 64) This requirement has not been complied with and the deveroper is now'attempting to avoid its agreement. It is submitted that without any good and valid planning reason, the developer should not be permitted to ~o. ~o 6 This severance will make it impossible for the.developer to comply with the subdivision agreement. 7 The creation of residential lots within. the valley corridor including valley side slope is not good and proper planning 8. The severance does not conform with the Official Plan for the City of Toronto (Metro Plan) which specifically discourages lot development within the valley corridor 9 Lots 26, 27 and 28 as designed were. large enough' to accommodate the residential dwellings on those lands with an appropriate buffer between-the top of bank and the lot boundary The current severance to add to those lots-is.,physically unnecessary for the use of the lots It will result in the developer eliminating'the buffer between the lot boundary and top of bank__and in fact establi!5hing,a residential lot boundary down the side slopes of the valley If this had beer;) proposed' at ttie.outset, the Autrority would- have opposed the development of the plan of subdivision It is highly inappropriate to now attempt'to accomplish through the back door what could not be accomplished and which was agreed to at the front door 10 By permittill9 this kind of lot addition, a precedent will be set allowing part of a valley slope to form part of a residential lot which precedent is dangerous and inappropriate. It further permits fragmentation of the valley corridor limiting the Authority's ability to ensure long term protection of this resource and P!Jts pressure on these lands for residential development purposes. 11 The granting of this severance fails to consider the matters set out in section 51 (24) of the Planning Act and in particular the suit?lbility of the land for purposes for which it is being subdivided and th~ conservation of natural-resources FINANCIAL DETAILS The estimated cost of the hearing, above staff time, is'$3,000 00 which is covered by Account No 110 01 The services of Jonathan Wigley of Baker & McKenzie are available for the hearing For information' contact~ Sandra ~afcic, extension 5217 Date.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information 8472 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/00 July 28, 2000 .. -- .. Proposal The proposal consists of re-establishing a natural creek meander, removing the failing gabion wall, and replacing the creek bed stone with smaller materials appropriate for fish habitat The new channel will be stabilized by riparian vegetation and will consist of a system of pools and riffles to create better fish habitat. The existing creek bed will be converted to a grassed drainage swale to direct currently untreated runoff towards stormwater management ponds for storage and cleansing The proposal is designed to correct an existing erosion problem along the Highway 48 embankment. The existing gab ion wall is deteriorating partly due to a failure of two stormwater discharge pipes which are broken off behind the structure The result is erosion to the bank behind the wall and sedimentation in the watercourse. TRCA staff are part of the steering committee that chose this preferred alternative. Control of Floodinq The proposed scenario will yield lower flow velocities and similar flood elevations to the existing In some instances, the flood elevations in the proposed creek alignment are slightly higher than in the existing and are largely due to the increased channel roughness and meander as well as minor elevation changes to the stream invert. The increase in elevations are minor and offer no adverse effects to the floodplain All excess fill will be removed from site. Pollution Standard erosion control measures will be implemented to ensure that construction-generated sediments do not enter the watercourse. The new channel will be built off line in the dry Once the new channel is fully operational the existing creek bed will be reshaped to create stormwater swales and wetland cells for quality and quantity control All major storm drains will be directed into stormwater wetlands designed to slow flows and remove sediment and nutrients before discharging into the creek. Stream crossings will be by a temporary bridge installed above the bank full elevation Conservation of Land All disturbed areas are to be restored following construction This project requires authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans TRCA staff will be in a position to issue a permit as soon as confirmation is received from DFO The naturalization project will enhance the creek providing fish habitat and terrestrial and aquatic plantings No significant terrestrial resource feature will be impacted Policv Guidelines The proposal complies with Section 3 3-Policies and Procedures for Identifying Watercourses and Alterations- of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program CFN 31280 Application #. 118/00/MARK Report Prepared by June Murphy, extension 5304 For information contact: June Murphy, extension 5304 Date.

PROPOSAL The proposal is to place fill in a regulated area to facilitate the construction of a new residence on a proposed new lot. The works include construction of a new structure within the valley corridor of the Humber River, partially below top of bank of the Humber River Valley SITE HISTORY The existing parcel was created by Land Division Application B180/86 This application was refused by the City of Vaughan in 1986 and subsequently approved by the Ontario Municipal Board in 1988 Through this process the Authority identified its concerns with the limited amount of tableland available to create a building lot. At that time, the Authority's concerns were addressed through the implementation of the Zoning By-law amendment application Z.145 85 which identified a building envelope for one dwelling on the subject property As a condition of approval, a Site Plan Agreement was registered on title on August 11, 1988 which identified that only one dwelling could be constructed on the property within the specified building envelope, The Agreement also identified that no fill was to be placed in the rear or side yards, and no vegetation was to be removed beyond the top of bank. Subsequent to the passing of the Zoning By-law Amendment, a severance application, B049/90 was received by the Authority in 1990 The concept plan submitted with the application identified a proposed second dwelling located over the top of bank Authority staff did not support the application because it involved the placement of fill over the top of bank and development beyond the top of bank. The proposed concept did not comply with the previous conditions of approval granted under the Zoning By-Iawamendment. The application was withdrawn by the applicant. On January 18, 1991, the Authority received an application (008/91) under Ontario Regulation 158 to place fill within a Fill Regulated area, again to facilitate the construction of a proposed second dwelling on the same property This application did not comply with the Authority's policies for conservation of land and was recommended for a hearing Upon request by the applicant, the hearing was deferred, and later the application was withdrawn POLICY AND RATIONALE In 1994, the Authority adopted the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program The policies in this document form the staff guidelines for reviewing development applications Pursuant to the policies in this document, staff has confirmed that a suitable building envelope does not exist on the tableland portion of the lot, due to potential geotechnical constraints and negative impacts on the conservation of land Staff has indicated our position in discussions with the proponent since early 1997 September 15, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/00 8501 In 1997 the Authority was circulated another application for the proposed severance of the lands in order to construct a new single family residence (B 104/97) In our letter of September 16, 1998 the Authority reiterated its position that we were not in the position to support the application, based on Authority policy as expressed in our Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program Staff also reiterated that the proposal was not consistent with the Site Plan Agreement which was registered on title to protect the valley from any further development. The Land Division application approved by the City of Vaughan Committee of Adjustment in 1999 includes conditions whIch must be satisfied by August 2000 Staff has advised the applicant that the condition requiring approval from the TRCA can not be satisfied (as expressed in numerous correspondence on a number of applications) as there is no building envelope that will not negatively impact on Authority interests The applicant is seeking a formal position from the Authority in the form of a decision by this Hearing Board The subject property is located entirely within the valley corridor of the Humber River and within the Authority's Fill Regulation Line The Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (Section 4 2) states that new urban development shall not be permitted within valley and stream corridors This application constitutes new development in that there is no existing lot of record permitting the proposed new dwelling The objective of the Authority, as outlined in the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, is to prevent new development that would introduce risk to life and property associated with erosion, slope stability and flooding issues and the conservation of Lhe natural valley corridor resource. The intent of the restriction registered on title, and the zoning by-law amendment, both approved in 1988 was to ')rovide appropriate protection measures to ensure that these objectives would be met. This position is supported by Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act and Regulation 158 which allows the Authority to permit or refuse in writing fill placement or development that may affect the control of flooding, pollution or the conservation of land A recent (1996) decision by the Mining and Lands Commissioner concluded that the conservation of an ecosystem is comprehended in the words "conservation of land" Staff are of the opinion that the proposed works on a Individual and cumulative scale will result in Impacts on the natural heritage system in the form of loss of forest cover and habitat and alteration to the valley feature. SUMMARY The proposed lot and residential building are located entirely within the valley corridor of the Humber River The proposal will introduce potential risk associated within slope stability and erosion and will negatively impact the function of the natural valley corridor On this basis, staff is recommending the application be refused as it affects the conservation of land For information Contact: Sandra Maleic, extension 5217 Date.

Receipt of a Notice of 20 day response penod for an application made pursuant to the Aggregate Resources Act by Rizmi Holdings Limited (Rizmi) to excavate aggregate from a pit located in Part Lot 30, Concession 2, City of Vaughan. Moved by Maria Augimeri Seconded by' Ron Moeser 8522 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/00 September 15, 2000 THE EXECUTIVE COMi\dTTEE RECOMMENDS THATthe Ministry of Natural Resources and the applicant be advised that The Toronto & Region Conservation Authority maintains it's objection to the application made by Rizmi Holdings Limited under the Aggregate Resources Act, for the reasons set out in the staff report related thereto, AND FURTHER THATthe City of Vaughan, Region of York, Ministry of Municipal Affairs, and the Ontario Municipal Board be so advised CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1998, Authority staff received a Notice of Application under the Aggregate Resources Act for a Category 1, Class A Licence for a 39 7 hectare parcel of land owned by Rizmi Holdings Limited located In Part Lot 30, Concession 2 WYS, City of Vaughan The lands are partially located within the McGill Environmentally Significant Area (ESA 73), within the Oak Ridges Moraine and headwaters of the Don River This site is also designated an Area of Natural & Scientific Interest (ANSI) by the Ministry of Natural Resources At Executive Committee Meeting #8/98, held October 16, 1998, the following resolution was adopted by the Toront<, b.nd Region Conservation Authority "IT IS RECOMME"vDED THAT the Ministry of Natural Resources and the applicant be advised that The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority objects to the application made by Rizmi Holdings Limited under the Aggregate Resources Act, for the reasons set out in the staff report related thereto, AND FURTHER THAT the City of Vaughan, Region of York, Ministry of Municipal Affairs, and the Ontario Municipal Board be so advised" The basis for the objection was that the impacts which would result to the form, features and functions of the McGill Environmentally Significant Area as part of the Licence Application were unacceptable, and not in keeping with the overall program and policy interests of the Authority as Identified in the Valley & Stream Corridor Management Program (1994) The following specific environmental impacts were of concern . loss of habitat cover, which in the Don River Watershed is limited to 9 4% (woodland and wetland) , . the removal of fo! est blocks where there is evidence of use by area sensitive and forest interior species, . Displacement of several regionally rare plant species, . Reduction in the ~Quthern linkage between the ESA on the east side of Dufferin Street with the ESA on the west side of Dufferin Street, . Potential impacts to the significant hydrogeological function (recharge) since the proposal does not appear to be in compliance with the T erraprobe Report as it relates to infiltration, . Loss of a small piece of the Provincially Significant Wetland as identified by the Ministry of Natural Resources (King-Vaughan Wetland Complex), . Creation of a haul route to Bathurst Street which will create an opening and new edge within the large forest block, resulting in fragmentation and impacts to interior species September 15, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/00 8523 . Indirect impacts include noise (which will affect sensitive species that will be trying to use the large forest block), light (which can lead to increased predation of vulnerable species such as ground nesters) and dust (which can be an Issue for nearby vegetation and some sensitive species) Since 1998, the applicant has indicated that they have attempted to resolve outstanding objections Most recently, in March and July 2000, the applicant attempted to resolve environmental issues through further study dealing with the wooded lJortions of the site and modifications to the proposed aggregate extraction plans The most significant modifications include 1 Deletion of the proposed haul route to Bathurst Street, 2 Reduction in the area to be licensed from 40 47 ha to 29 8 ha through the deletion of approximately 10 5 ha of land at the east side of the property and Increase in the setback from Dufferin Street; 3. Deletion of the proposed extraction below the water table, City of Vaughan has advised the MNR and the applicant of their objection to the application At a special meeting of Council, held September 5, 2000, the City concluded that the City's fundamental objections based on planning policy, land use compatibility and environmental impact remain unresolved The Region of York has also advised the MNR and the applicant of their objection to the application The basis for the Region's objection is that the application fails to comply with the approved policies and the intent of the Regional Official Plan, the Provincial Policy Statement, and the Oak Ridges Moraine Guidelines A report in this regard will be considered by Regional Planning Committee on September 20, 2000 RATIONALE Based on Staff's review o~the revised submissions, the following concerrs remain unresolved with the final submission and are the basis for objection 1 Loss of habitat C:V\fer, which in the Don River Watershed is limited to 9 4% (woodland and wetland) While the revised submission eliminates any consideration of extr~ction within the stream corridor and the large forest block at the east and north east portion of the site, extraction is still proposed within the woodlot blocks at the south west corner of the subject property The supplementary environmental information submitted focuses on the forestry and site specific ecological implications of the proposal but does not undertake a sufficient assessment ofthe more comprehensive and cumulative impacts ofthe proposed intrusion Specifically the report does not adequately address wildlife use of these blocks The ESA and ANSI designations include the subject stands in addition to other significant resource features on and off the subject property 8524 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/00 September 15, 2000 The extent of prc.JL~dion and restoration proposed in the rehabilitation plan is significantly less than the amount of natural cover that is proposed to be removed for extraction Natural cover within the Don River watershed is limited to 9 4%. Any loss of natural cover in the Don River watershed is significant. Although the final submission further reduces the area to be extracted to 23 3 hectares, the loss of natural cover still significantly exceeds the area to be rehabilitated to natural forest cover Additionally, the proposed mitigation efforts Involving the enhancement of buffer strip widths along the property's perimeter will have extremely limited functionality as wildlife corridors and refuge areas, and will not adequately compensate for the quantity, quality and function of lost habitat. 2 The removal of forest blocks where there is evidence of use by area sensitive and forest interior species Although the current application has eliminated any consideration of removal within the larger forest blocks to the north and east, the removal of the forest blocks at the south west corner of the site, in conjunction with the disturbance associated with the proposed use will be substantial enough to have detrimental impacts to the area sensitive and forest interior species within the larger area. 3 Displacement ot several regionally rare plant species The final submission continues to propose the relocation of a number of rare plant species Authority policy requires the protection of habitats of rare species and does not include provisions for alternative "protection" mechanisms such as relocation Additionally, not withstanding the above noted comment on the concept of rare species relocation, of the 6 species proposed for relocation, only one, Solidago arguta (sharp leaved goldenrod) is considered suitable for transplantation Two others (carex backii and C Digitalis) are considered unlikely for successful transplantation and the remaining three (Botrychium dlssectum, lycopodium obscurum, and Polypodium viginianum) are considered poor candidates for successful transplantation due to their very specific soil associations 4 Reduction in the southern linkage between the ESA on the east side of Dufferin Street with the ESA on the west side of Dufferin Street The linkage functions on and off site have not been adequately assessed by the applicant. The final application proposes the protection of a 30 metre corridor along the south property boundary Staff feel there has been insufficient assessment to concur with the applicant's conclusion that "the southern boundary linkage has been significantly compromised by nast activities" and that it is "of greater benefit! J restore and enhance a north/south linkage adjacent to Dufferin Street by way of an incredsed setback width and replanting progr ~1Y1" Based on the impacts to the form, features and functions of the McGill ESA which would result as part of this proposal, staff are recommending that the Executive Committee object to this application pursuant to the Aggregate Resources Act. September 15, 2000 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/00 8525 CONCLUSION Pursuant to the requirements of the Aggregate Resources Act, the last day on which objections could be filed with the applicant and Ministry of Natural Resources was September 8, 2000 Authority staff has concluded that the impacts which would result to the form, features and functions of the McGill Environmentally Significant Area as part of this Licence Application are unacceptable, and not in keeping with the overall program and policy interests of the Authority as identified in the Valley & Stream Corridor Management Program (1994) As such, staff has advised the applicant and the MNP of the TRCA's continued objection to this a~r'lication For information contact: Sandra Maleic, extension 5217 Date.

RES.#C22/00 RES #B141/00- IMPACT OF NEW APPORTIONMENT SYSTEM Possible Changes to CA Regulation The Province has required that a new funding apportionment formula be developed based on Current Value Assessment (CVA) A proposed formula has been developed by Conservation Ontario In consultation with the Association of MUnicipalities of Ontario, staff of the Province of Ontario and two representatives from the Association of Clerks and Treasurers Moved by John Adams Seconded by Joan King THAT the report dated September 8th, 2000, on possible changes to CA regulation and Impact of New Apportionment System, be received. CARRIED BACKGROUND The apportionment of conservation authority levies among participating municipalities is governed by a regulation under Section 27 of the Conservation Authorities Act The previous regulation required the use of Discounted Equalized Assessment (DEA) to determine how the benefit (costs) of conservation authority operations are apportioned among the participating muniCipalities which fall within CA watersheds, and whose programs are deemed generally benefiting All Authorities across the province Including the TRCA have used DEA as a basIs for distributing the levy among our participating municipalities for generally benefiting programs TRCA has also used a variation on DEA which Involved visitor origin information for allocating the levy for our recreation programs These funding formulas were agreed to many years ago by TRCA s member municipalities With the Introduction of Current Value Assessment, the previous method (DEA) IS obsolete The Province of Ontario must prepare a new regulation to implement its requirement to use CVA as the basIs for any new apportionment formula and it has asked Conservation Ontario to make a proposal as a basIs for writing the new regulation Until the new regulation is In place, the Province as frozen the apportionment values based on DEA for several years now until a new formula can be developed Conservation Ontario has prepared a draft formula based on CVA in conjunction with representatives of the Association of Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario and AMO The draft proposal may also meet the request by the City of Toronto to change our current apportionment formula to one based on CV A ThiS needs to be discussed with the City during the 2001 budget process . RA TIONALE The Conservation Ontario Levy Distribution Task Force proposed a number of recommendations which are being Implemented One of the changes Involves a new regulation which will create a new formula for distribution of the levy ThiS will not effect projects which are speCifiC to a participating muniCipality e g capital projects In the City or Regions 162 One of the Issues being reviewed IS the degree to which Individual authorities can employ a formula other than the recommended one for projects which are deemed to be of a nature that IS not generally benefiting to all participating municipalities TRCA, with the agreement of its participating muniCipalities, has used its own funding formula for recreation/heritage programs and DEA for those administrative programs that affect all municipalities the same Having the ability to manage the portion of the levy which funds non-administrative costs on a basIs other than CV A would enable the TRCA to respond effectively to the Individual budget needs of the TRCA s major partiCipating mUnicipalities, the Regions of Peel, York and Durham and the City of Toronto If a single CVA formula is applied to all operating levy, the decision of the AuthOrity to Increase or decrease the levy Will be applied universally A participating municipality which disagrees With the levy will have only one recourse, appealing to the Ontario Mining and Lands Commissioner Another Issue being discussed IS the method used to determine the assessment within the conservation authOrity watersheds As Members are aware, authority boundaries do not follow political boundaries Within the watershed boundaries of conservation authorities, the proportion of assessment accorded to each authOrity is based on the proportion of the CA area of JUrisdiction Within each area muniCipality For example, if 30% of the watershed is Within a municipality, then 30% of the assessment of that area municipality is apportioned to that CA ThiS has been a reasonable method for determining the proportion of assessment attributed to each authority but it IS not an accurate measure of the actual assessment in each area of JUriSdiction The technology eXists to calculate the actual assessment within each watershed ThiS Involves Identifying for each assessment roll number the watershed/CA jurisdiction Within which the property lies The effect of thiS change IS unknown and unlikely to be acted upon in time for the 2001 budget process DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE ThiS proposal is stili being discussed Conservation Ontario has hired Jonathan Wigley of Baker MackenZie, SoliCitors, to draft the proposed regulation Conservation Ontario will submit the proposed regulation to the Province for consideration A recent communication from the Provincial staff indicates that there is Interest In haVing the changes in place for the year 2001 budget However, thiS will not be deCided until December Staff Will continue to work With Conservation Ontario on the proposed regulation Staff will be consulting With the AuthOrity s funding partners prior to Implementation of any changes For Information contact: Jim Dillane, 416-667-6292 Date October 11, 2000 163 RES #C23/00 RES.#B142/00 - 2000 FINANCIAL PROGRESS REPORT - UPDATE As of September 24th, 2000 Presents the financial results as of September 24th, 2000 and projections to year end Moved by John Adams Seconded by Joan King THA T the Financial Progress Report as of September 24th, 2000, be received. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authonty receives from staff regular reports on financial progress in terms of actual perlormance measured against budget These reports also project expenditures and revenue to year end based on perlormance to date Staff identify action to be taken as necessary to ensure a balance budget at year end The last report to the Finance Board was at the September 15th meeting and staff advised that a further report would be brought to the October 13th meeting RATIONALE Attached IS a summary financial progress report, In September staff advised that the bottom '1Ine" if the trends In revenue and expenditure were to continue to year end and with no corrective action, would result In the Authonty at year end having a potential deficit of about $696 000 Staff Identified the following actions to deal with the potential deficit . Administrative expenditure reductions $ 24,000 Black Creek Pioneer Village (combination of expenditure reductions I e advertising, Xmas decorations, staff gapping, and some revenue additions) 146,000 I . Conservation Areas & Kortnght Centre (vanous expenditure reductions) 70,000 . Gapping of Vacant pOSitions 60,000 . Seeking additional grant support to finance OMB heanngs on the Oak Ridges Moraine 150,000 . Use of Reserves to offset Sick leave/retirement costs 50 ,000 . Vanous fund raising Initiatives commencing In the fall are designed to produce undeslgnated donations 196,000 Total expenditure/revenue activities to reduce potential deficit $696,000 Staff has taken Virtually all of the actions Identified previously This results in a projected year end operating deficit of $9900 , Virtually a balanced budget 164 This has not been achieved without Impact on operations There have been lay offs In some areas Maintenance has been deferred Positions are being "gapped" which creates Increased work load for other staff On the capital side, it appears that $100,000 previously expected to be received in support of the Kortright LIVing Machine Project, will not be available This means that the total deficit associated with the LIVing Machine Project IS about $700,000 This is being addressed as part of the corporate fund raising program in future years DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE There are stili many expenditure and revenue variables to be addressed before year end Staff will keep the Board Informed of financial progress dunng the last quarter of the year and advise of Significant shifts which may alter the projected year end results For information contact.

CARRIED BACKGROUND In April of this year the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) formed an Ad Hoc Committee consisting of four Region of Durham Councillors and who are also Members of CLOCA. The mandate of this committee was to report on the feasibility of financing portions of Conservation Authorities programs from the Region of Durham's water and sewer charges This Ad Hoc Committee reported to CLOCA's Board of Directors on September 7, 2000 and the following Resolution was adopted THAT Staff Report #4132-00 be adopted, .. THAT the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority request the Region of Durham to review water and sewer 9harges initially, and development services charges in due course, as mechanisms for financing appropriate, Conservation Authorities programs; and, THA T this review be initiated as part of the Region of Durham consideration of Conservation Authorities annual budget submissions for 2001 and 5 year operating and capital forecasts for the period 2001-2005 605, The Chief Administrative Officer of CLOCA has circulated this Resolution and requested that the other four Conservation Authorities within the Region of Durham endorse their position and to advise the Region of this support. The use of sewer and water revenues to support Regional funding of related Conservation Authority programs is not new to this Authority For at least two years, based on a comprehensive report prepared by Credit Valley Conservation and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) which outlined the economic and environmental arguments as to the appropriateness of using sewer and water revenues to support Authority programs, the Region of Peel has provided considerable capital and operating support to both Authorities from their sewer and water reserve fund The City of Toronto similarly has supported various TRCA capital programs and projects from their water reserve fund There are also many other examples across the province where Conservation Authority work is supported from revenues the municipality has raised through their sewer and water revenues There are also many international examples as well In the report prepared for the Region of Peel, the argument for supporting conservation authority work from water revenues was summarized as follows Conservation Authorities provide watershed management programs in the areas of watershed management and monitoring, environmental advisory services, and watershed stewardship These programs contribute to the protection of the quality and sustainability of public water supplies. The municipal water bill may represent a means of ensuring adequate funding to support these programs, while also alleviating pressure on the municipal tax base and offering a tool to promote the user's awareness of the importance of protecting the water resource Because two of our Member Municipalities are already supporting our work through revenues generated through the water bills, it would be appropriate for this Authority to support the CLOCA Resolution It is however, in the final context, up to the municipality to determine how it will raise its funds in support of Authority work but to not at least consider in a serious way, the water and sewer revenues option would be a missed opportunity to further the protection and management of our water resources and could also represent an opportunity to reduce the pressures on the property tax bill The TRCA should urge therefore the Region of Durham to at least consider the options put forward by CLOCA in their review of the 2001 budget requests of the Conservation Authorities or to at least commit to looking into this option during 2001 for possible implementation in 2002 Report prepared by' Craig Mather, 416-667-6289 Date October 04, 2000 606 RES.#B145/00 - GREENSPACE PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT 1996-2000 Flood Plain and Conservation Component/Etobicoke Creek Watershed Slovenian Linden Foundation, City of Toronto (Etobicoke District) , CFN 31615 Purchase of property located north of Dundas Street West, west of The West Mall, at the rear of 52 Neilson Drive, City of Toronto (Etobicoke District), under the "Greens pace Protection and Acquisition Project 1996-2000" Flood Plain and Conservation-Component, Etobicoke Creek Watershed Moved by John Adams ~ Seconded by Michael Di Biase THE EXECUTIVE COMMllTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 0.35 hectares (0.862 acres), more or less, be purchased from the Slovenian Linden Foundation, said land consisting of an irregular shaped parcel of land at the rear of 52 Neilson Drive, Part of Lot 12, Concession 5 Colonel Smith Tract, City of T9ronto (Etobicoke District), described as Parts 2 and 7, Plan 64R-1 0661, THAT the purchase price be $2.00, THAT the Authority receive conveyance of the land required free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements and the granting of a right-of-way over the existing' gravel drive crossing the subject lands, THAT Gardiner, Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete.the transaction at the earliest possible date.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 written permission from the Authority is required to (a) construct any building or structure or permit any building or structure to be constructed in or on a pond or swamp or in any area susceptible to flooding during a Regional Storm, 677 ,,. (b) place or dump fill or permit fill to be placed or dumped in the areas described in the schedules whether such fill is already located in or upon~such area, or brought to or on such area from some other place or places, (c) straighten, change, divert or interfere in any way with the existing channel of a river, creek, stream or watercourse, A permit may be refused if, in the opinion of the authority, the conservation of land, control of flooding or pollution is affected Before refusing permission, the Authority' must hold a Hearing to which the applicant is party PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The property subject to this application is located on the west side of Old Brock Road North, north of Lane Street. The recently constructed shed (Exhibit 1-legal survey) is located entirely within the Regional Storm Floodplain 'JExhibit 2-TRCA floodplain mapping)' The existing residential structure is not located within the Regional Storm Floodplain Portions of the subject property parallel to Old Srock Rot;ld are located outpide the Regional Storm Floodplain PROPOSAL The existing shed was constructed within a Regional Storm Floodplain without a City of Pickering building permit and without a TRCA permit. Through legal proceedings of the violation it was stated by the court that TRCA needs to offer the applicant all available means to ascertain a location for the shed which is satisfactory to TRCA. Staff met with the proponent on several occasions on site to discuss relocation and in Augl;Jst 2000'a meeting was held at the TRCA office to discuss among other items policy, procedures, and opportunities for the relocatior:1, of the shed At the very minimum it was agreed that the applicants try to relocate the shed from the hydraulic floodway, which is the inner portion of the floodplain where the flood depths and velocities are gener~lIy higher The floodway represents ,the area required for the safe passage of flood flow and/or that area where flood depths and/or velocities are considered'to be such that they pose a potential threat to life and/or property damages To remove the existing shed from the hydraulic floodway would require the relocation approximately 60 feet (18m) from the creek A site inspection was completed by TRCA staff and the proponent to stake the approximate 60-foot (18m) boundary and to determine if the shed cO,uld be relocated outsid-e the hydraulic floodway Due to the topography of the site at the location in the valley, the shed could possibly be relocated appr9ximately 45 feet (14m) from the creek at the south corner and' approximately 60 feet (18m) from the north corner which would still be located within the hydraulic floodway According t9 TRCA staff at present the structure is located approximately 22 feet (6 5m) from the watercourse. It is.the opinion of TRCA staff that there are'suitable options forthe location, of the shed outside the Regional Storm Floodplain, However, limiting factors were presented by the applicant that eliminated any other possibilities POLICY AND RATIONALE The existing shed does not comply with Section 4 1 1-New Urban Development- of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) which states 678 "The main thrust of the Authority's policies and procedures for undeveloped valley and stream corridors is to prevent new development that would introduce risk to life and property associated with flooding, erosion and slope stability and/or is not compatible with the protection and rehabilitation of these natural resources in their natural state." The intent of this policy is implemented both in terms of new development and where property improvement and ancillary structures are being considered In the instance of new development, it is not permitted within the valley and stream corridors Where existing development has been approved and property improvements or ancillary structures are considered VSCMP states "It is recognized that where development exists within valley and stream corridors, provisions for property improvements and ancillary structures need to be addressed, however, it must be recognized that property improvements and ancillary structures can negatively impact valley and stream corridors, landforms, features and functions To this end, property improvements and ancillary structures associated with typical lot appurtenances such as fencing, decks, stairs and minor alterations to grade/landscaping may be permitted subject to and in compliance with the following 1) If located within the regulatory flood plain the location and design must: i) not result in unacceptable impacts to flood storage or conveyance, ii) not create or aggravate flooding on adjacent, upstream or downstream properties, iii) minimize property damage associated with flooding to the extent technically possible and the liability be assumed by the owner NOTE Notwithstanding the above, ancillary structures will be restricted from locating within the hydraulic floodway or will be subject to more rigorous design requirements " It is the opinion of TRCA staff that the location of this large shed within the Regional Floodplain will introduce substantial risk to property damage, The shed which is located within the floodplain will be structurally damaged during a major flood event and may cause obstructions to flows downstream and subsequent flooding hazards if the shed were to break up or be swept downstream, The water levels defined at the location of the newly constructed shed by the hydraulic modeling through Claremont are approximately 856 5 feet (261 m) under the regulatory flood and approximately 855 feet (260 6m) under the 1 OO-year flood A level of approximately 853 5 feet (260m) is the ground elevation at the shed location which is taken from the contour mapping The depths of flooding are approximately 3 feet (1 m) under the regulatory flow and approximately 1 5 feet ( 5m) under the 1 OO-year flow The flow velocity in the area of the shed ranges from approximately 6 ft/sec (2m/see) under regulatory flows to approximately 4 ft/sec (1 2m/sec) under the 100 year flows The more frequent flows included in the TRCA flood study such as the 5 year also would result in some flooding on site. The 5 year level through the site would have approximate depths of 1 2 feet (0 3m) Even though the existing shed has been set on footings above grade, the 28 feet (85m) of the long axis of the structure will be subject to the forces of water during a major storm event and subsequent structural damage More rigorous design standards are not feasible on this ancillary structure 679 " as this would require the expertise of a Structural Engineer to ensure that the footings and structure itself are designed to withstand the velocity of the flows The best solution is to remove the shed from the hydraulic floodway which has not been proposed by applicant. CONCLUSION The existing shed is entirely located within the Regional Storm Floodplain Under flood conditions the shed will be subject to structural damage and .may cause obstructions to flows and sl,lbsequent flooding hazards downstream if the shed were to break up or be swept downstream. Staff concludes that the existing shed do~s not reflect the intent of the Authority' s Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program and will affect the control of flooding Therefore staff recommends that the ~pplication be refused Report prepared by June Murphy, extension 5304 For information contact: June Murphy, extension 5304 Date October 25, 2000 Attachments:- 2 680 t.'

RES.#B169/00 - TERMINATION OF FORESTRY AGREEMENT Ministry of Natural Resources, CFN 23213 Termination of forestry agreement between the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Authority Moved by Jim McMaster Seconded by Donna Patterson THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is in receipt of a request from Ministry of Natural Resources to terminate the existing forestry agreement for properties in the Town of Caledon and the Townships of Mono, Adjala- Tosorontio and Uxbridge, THAT the Authority enter into an agreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources terminating the existing forestry agreement on the basis that all outstanding debts relating to the agreement are canceled, AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND The original forestry agreement was entered into on April 11, 1951 by the Humber Valley Conservation Authority and the Department of Lands and Forests (now the Ministry of Natural Resources) Generally the agreement provided that MNR can make a grant for the purchase of the lands by the Authority and the MNR will undertake the reforestation and management of the properties The agreement ends in 2000 with the Authority having the right to extend the agreement for 20 to 50 years While the agreement has been amended from time to time over the years, the main terms have remained the same with the exception of MNR's grant rate for the purchase costs being increased from 50% to 75% in 1960 The Authority has always been responsible for the payment of realty taxes on the properties The costs incurred by MNR over the years for reforestation and management are accumulated as a debt against the agreement. These expenditures are off set by any revenues generated bY the sale of timber from the properties To date there is approximately $260,000 in debt outstanding Since 1995 MNR has not carried out any management of the properties and the Authority has had to take over this role Staff have had ongoing discussions with MNR staff relating to revising the agreement. However MNR has continued to insist that the Authority repay the outstanding debt. This year MNR advised that they wish to terminate the forestry agreement by the end of 2000 They have agreed to forego the repayment of the debt. The only condition MNR is proposing is that.any properties where a grant has been made by MNR for the purchase be used for purposes that are consistent with forestry purposes RATIONALE While the Authority has the right to extend the agreement, at the end of the extension the Authority would still be required to repay the debt. With the termination of the agreement at this time the debt will be canceled 693 , The Authority has been managing these properties for the past several years and has always paid the realty taxes, so the termination of the agreement will not impact the Authority's operational budget.

October 23, 2000 700 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information Proposal The proposal consists of placing fill material to repair valley wall erosion which has exposed a section of an existing 30 " crude oil pipeline. The proposed works include redirecting localized drainage away from the erosion scar on the west valley wall back to its original course down an existing gravel service road, backfilling over the exposed cFude oil pipe, and filling in the remainder of the eroded area down the valley wall The eastern slope erosion has not progressed as much as the west side, however, this area will be filled in to prevent further erosion, which could lead to exposure of the pipe. For additional erosion protection from future overland runoff, 3 0' high earthen berms will be installed at 50' intervals down each valley slope Repairs to the western slope face have already commenced, pursuant to the Emergency Works provision of the Servicing and Infrastructure policies and development criteria, Both erosion sites are located within the Fill Regulated Area of the West Dufflns Creek, but neither extend into the Regional Storm flood plain Control of Flooding No fill material will be placed within the Regional Storm flood plain of the West Duffins Creek, therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works Pollution Silt fencing will be placed downslope from each erosion site to impede the overland migration of construction-generated sediments Conservation of Land The erosion scars will be filled with glacial till material similar to the native soils The repaired areas will be compacted to at least 95% of the Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density No significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works The Enbridge Pipelines easement is presently void of any woody vegetation, deep rooting vegetation is discouraged due to future maintenance problems arising from excessive root systems around the crude oil pipe However, a native wildflower and grasses mix will be applied over the repaired areas of valley slope, which will promote terrestrial habitat without the use of deeply-rooted plant material Staff have reviewed the proposal and are satisfied with the method of erosion control and site rehabilitation with native herbaceous plant species.

The lakebed depths are measured by a chart echo sounder This process requires a field crew of four persons for the collection of data, The existing method of data acquisition, produces a considerable amount of delay while land based equipment is moved to the next sounding station. As we require favorable weather and lake conditions, it is important that information is collected as quickly and efficiently as possible. The' equipment purchase being proposed woul.d allow for the continuous collection of field data without the reliance of shore based positioning equipment and staff Post processing of the information has been very time consuming as the information must be manually scaled from the graph prior to plotting The- system which staff are requesting to purchase, collects all positioning information digitally by satellite (GPS), as well 'its digital echo sounding information with ~ field crew of only two technicians on board the launch Down loading of field data to the computer'AutoCAD software is also accomplished quickly RATIONALE As there ,are very limited suppliers of hydrographic ,surveying equipment world wide, staff requested proposals and on-water equipment demonstrations from two Ontario based companies.

Drive. Toronto (East Yor~ Dear Mr. Chairman and Members of the. Executive Board: . . My<name is Jim Zotalis and I reside at 3~ Beechwood Drive'~ On Juiy 7,2000 my neighbours Mr. Barkas and Ms. McIntyre attended a meeting of the Executive Committee and made.a del~gation regarding the above-referenced site and it is for this reason that. I am wrltlng this l~tter today to the Executive. Com~ittee of the TReA. On Friday, October l~, 2000 we were notified for the first time that the Authority ~taff had received instructions to make a site visit to our property in order to respond to the 'statements' made by-my nelghbours in their letters to th~ Executive Commltt~e. It is on 1 Monday, October 16, 2000 that I had an opportunity to s~ the letter.s for the first time-more than 3 n;1onths after their submission. First, let me begin by stating that the letters in question contain false and erroneous information, which are without any merit and f01:1ndation and are not supported by any credible evidence' . whatsoever. In fact, the letters are replete with falsehoods and fabrications, Furthermore, they are 1lQ.t statements made 'under oath' as solemn declaratlop:s. 133 " . /2 of 4. Why is the Executive Committee entertaining such letters, when in fact, they have not been sworn statements which are subject to strict rules of evidence? This Executive Committee knows, that the file on this site (both TRCA permit file and the Building Permit file) has been closed for a considerable time now. Why is it acceptable for an individual property owner to come before this panel and make a deputation without evidence, and which is not under oath, to the expense of another individual who must expend financial costs and tLme In order to defend his position against unfounded allegations. This is in addition to the emotional upset and pain such a situation causes the property owner forced to come before this committee to answer such letters. As well, the letter submitted by Mr. Barkas is not signed in addition to it not being a sworn statement. My question to the Executive Committee is, "Under what authority does the Executive proceed to hear and receive these letters when 1n fact the TRCA's jurisdiction does not extend to the matters being raised in these two letters?" First, as far as the small block wall (planter) Is concerned (which is situ~ted between the 3S and 37 Beechwood Drive properties) Mr. Barkas fully knows or ought to know that: 1. The small block wallis not in fact a retaining wall but a form of garden planter. There was no obligation at any time on the part of the owner of 35 Beechwood Drive to have such a wall there but was done to accomodate the neighbouring owner (Mr. Barkas) who insisted on such a visual separation between his property and the Zotalls property. 2. The wall has received clearance as being 'safe and acceptable' by the appropriate department of the City of~oronto. 734 /3 of 4. . , 3. The wall in question is not under jurisdiction of the TRCA as confirmed by the Manager of Development Services of the TRCA., and the TRCA's own engineer 1n front of the writer and his father at the site meeting of Monday, October 16,2000 and also in front of Mr. Barkas. As to Mr. Barkas' second issue, that of water run-off, any discussion of water run-off Is one that pertains to that portion of the ~treet which belongs to the City of Toronto and is e~tirely within the municipal road allowance. Therefore, I respectfully submit that the TRCA has no JuriscUc;tion,with respect t9 this issue either. ,Further to this second issue, I refer to Mr. Barkas' Foundation Plan which he submitted to the Committee of Adjustment (dated January 19, 1999) and which was an exhibit Item at the Ontario 'Municipal Board hearing for his application to construct a garage. I remind the members of the Executive that this drawing was submitted as eVidentiary material by Mr. Barkas at an OMB hearing. You will note that the drawing indicates very clearly a 411 weeping tile wrapped fn filter fabric that is between the Barkas' south wall and the property line. This weeping tile is on Mr. Barkas' property and is a weeping' tile belonging to Mr. Barkas which in fact collects perimeter water around his house and property and discharges this to a point on the municipal road allowance in front of his house which he has raised as a concern. As you can see from Mr. Barkas' own drawing and exhibit item, the drain whIch ends at the foot of his property Is his and his alone. Furthermore, Mr. Barkas does not pump a~y water back to the Hopedale street (as does the owner of 35 Beechwood Drive). This fact is clearly evident from photographs, the topography of the site as - well as site inspections and Is well known not only by staff of the City of Toronto and Conservation Authority, but also by the local councillors of the area. 735 /4 of 4. Therefore, any problems Mr. Barkas mayor may not be having with water run-off Is an issue that he Is the author of himself, not his neighbour. As for my other neighbours' comments in her letter, they also are without any merit and substance whatsoever. They represent a series of false statements made without any scientific evidence and proof and are nQ1 made under oath or solemn declaration. She makes numerous unfounded allegations in her letter without any corroboration or evidence whatsoever and attempts to pass them off as facts. It is obvious that both my neighbours met and planned their letters collaboratlvely as they even use the same terminology throughout both letters (ie. the use of the term 'logjam') It is no wonder that my neighbours are resorting to such tactics as an application to modify the existing garage (35 Beechwood Drive) Is scheduled soon to be before the Committee of Adjustment. The OMB decision of the previous Zotalis (carport) application gave the ZotaUs' the right to bring forward a new design without prejudice to the Committee of Adjustment. I would remind the Executive Committee of the TRCA and staff that the issue of the TRCA Permit file and Building Permit file have been closed and any attempts to revisit matters already addressed represents a serious infrindgement on the rights of the Zotalis famlly. I hereby request a copy of any other materials filed by my nelgh1x>ufs with respect to this matter as well as a copy of Mr. Tanos' report for our review. I welcome any additional information or questions the Executive Committee has in regards to my comments herein or regarding this matter. - 736 1 U/tl~1 Ltlt:lt:l 0':1 .L:I Lt.L 0"''''''' LU,","'" , C I ~ l~ -- --- J- OJ ~~ O'l -<j! , \ . ~ 1;; I ,. ~ III j CD o(~ I ~: ~. .... 11 'B ) ;z r= I I ~ .

RE: 35 Beechwood Drive, Toronto Kindly be advised that we have been retained by Peter Zotalls, the owner of 3S Beechwood Drive, to represent him with respect to the latest involvement by the Toronto and Region Conser/ation Authority in relation to 35 Beechwood Drive. Our client was first advised on October 13, 2000 that Authority staffwete instructed to make a site visit to 3S Beeyhwood Drive in order to address certain statements made both in writing and inpersoo durlnga meeting of the Exeoutive Committee 00 July 7,2000. We have reviewed with our client the undated and unsigned statement ofM! Barkas along with the June 22, 2000 letter from Ms. MoIntyre and it is our respectful position that these documents contain numerous falsehoods and libelous statements written solely to cause further harm and injUI)' to our client. You should be aware of the fact that over the last decade. Mr. Barkas and Ms. McIntyre have taken it upon themselves to hann Mr Zotalis and his family in eveI)' possible: way Examples include civil litigation, objections before the Committee of Adjustments, Appeals to the Ont'ario Municipal Board and numerous complaints to the Toronto and Region Conversation Authority Their intentions are obvious to anyone who simply takes the time to sit down and review the history Our client intends to hold the authors of these malicious statements fully responsible for their actions along with any other party that may ohoose to act on such falsehoods without fair and proper consideration and due process. It is most disturbing that the Executive Committee of the Authority would accept the unsworn statements of Mr. Barkas and Ms. McIntyre. This is especially so as our client was not given notice of the July 7, 2000 delegation or an opportunity to put forth a written or verbal statement in reply DRUDI ALEXIOU SUTHERL.AND 7050 WESTON ROAD.

It certainly goes without saying that these engineers ought not to comment on matters that have'already been considered, decided upon and closed. With respect to the small block wall between OU! client's property and the property that belongs to Mr. Barkas, we have in our possession a letter issued by the City of Toronto Urban Development Division givmg our client clearance on the wall. As well, this small block wall is not a retaining wall as defined under the buildmg code and it does not fall ' within the Authonty's jurisdiction. In view of the above, it is respectf'll11y submitted that Terraprobe ought not to be making comments with respeot to the small block wall. In fact, the manager of the Authority's Development Services Department has assured our client that the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has no jurisdiction with respect to the small block wall and that they will not be making any'comment$ with respect to it. We believe that the actions ofMr Barkas and Ms. MoIntyre represent a fundamental breach of our client's right to privacy, quiet enjoyment of his property and his right to due process. The violation of our client's rights is taken very seriously and we will vJgor.ously defend our client from any malicious interference and undue emotional upset and injury. Of course. this includes the Toronto and ~gion Conservation Autncintymd----'---- its agents. In the meantime, we would expect that our client would at a minimum be kept fuliy apprised of any and all developments in ~is JIlatter from this point on.

Anthony Barkas 37 Beechwood Drive, Toronto ON M4K 3H7 Dear Sir and Members of the Executive Committee Re. Site Investigation, 35 Beechwood Drive, Toronto (East York) Ontario Below I submit my comments regarding the repolt submitted to the Executive Committee by Mr Bdan Denny on the referenced subject, for your consideration prior to making your decision on the recommendation included in the report. First of all I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to all members of the Executive Committee for accepting our proposal in the July 7, 2000 meeting and initiating this investigation. I would also like to express my gratitude and appreciation the staff of TRCA. - for allowing us to participate in the review to offer our input; and - for accepting our request to invite, to one of the meetings, two structural engineers who were involved in the referenced site in various capacities. BACKGROUND Following is a summ31')' of my concerns I submitted to the Executive Committee on July 7, 2000. - The poor drainage of the underground water of 35 Beechwood Drive which results in accumulation of large zones of ice in front of my property and deters accessability to my property during the cold winter periods. Also the adverse effects of hydrostatic pressure during the same periods when water no longer discharges on the street due to freeze ups. Two geoteclmical reports produced by two different geotechnical engineers agreed that there is a drainage problem with that site. They included recommendations (not implemented as yet) to eliminate the problem so that the adjoining structures will not be detrimentally affected. - An unsafe retaining wall constructed between 35 and 37 Beechwood Drive at the property line without the approval of the City and ofTRCA. This wall modified the surface drainage at that location, brmging water into my property Its unsafe construction and its present condition restdct the use of my property The Executive Committee directed " that staff conduct an in-deptJl fel1iew of the remediation work required to stabilize the property at 35 Beechwood Drive., and report back to the Committee on how the work will be completed. " COMMENTS I commend the TRCA staff for their work and preparation of this report and for their patience also The opportunity was glvcn to me to present my concerns in detail WIth sUPPOlting documentation and other resources. I noted however that: 740 - i~ is a thin sununary. of what was presented/discussed) rather than an in-d~pth review - it reflects an absence of important points of evaluation and analysis offindings (discussions and documentation, input), presented/submitted to TRCA in support of the "captioned" statem~nts included in it. This information is of paramount importance for the members to make a objective '- decision on the reconunendations, - it appears that at l~ast one of my concerns is ~represented in the-report which eliminates the t objectivity and reality on that particular issue. Following are some examples in support of the above noted statements. I~ is not my' intention to detract from the efforts of TRCA staff and the quality of their report. Rather it is to provide the Co~ttee members with subs~tiagon of my concerns. Poor Drai~age A Third bullet of the "Issues", page 45 states' Surface-drainage is concentrated at the nortl,ent corner of.35 Be~chwood Drive which collects on the driveway and roacfway infremt of J7 Beechwood Drive, The aqjacent residents are concerned that this impaci;s public safety, specifically the ice buildup on the street 'and. driveway during the winter months In my numerous submissions to TRCA in the last three years on the matter of poor drainag~, in my submission to the Executive Committee, in my discussions to TRCA staff during this review and'in my documentation (including photographs) I submitted to the Review Leader it was abundantly clear that TInS WAS NOT SURFACE WATER. It was made clear that my COncern of water discharging at this corner is undergrouIld water ofmterruptecrundCrground streams thattlU'ougha-pm;rly-c-6ns1r\IC'ted- ---- drainage system it is now discharging on to the street and on to my driveway It is my opinion that this is a reflection of misrepresentation oft11e facts. The input to this investigation included the following: - a copy of a report from Haddad Geotechnical Inc. (retained by the owner of 35 Beechwood Drive) identifying the problem of the sub-surface water and including some'reconunendations for its control. It further states that "The above measures, when satisfactorily completed as-descl'ibed above, will not detrimentally affect the r:etaining walLstructures on the subject site or structures on adjacent properties" - a copy ofa report fi:om V A. Wood Associates Limited, Consulting Geotechnical Engineers, (retained by this writer) identifying the problem of the sub-surface water and stating th~ following: "It is noted that the purpose ofthe weeping tile Is to collect minor water seepage from the backfill around the garage. If there is sufficient water In the' system to cause water to run, onto the road, then this would Indicate a significant drainage problem with the construction on #35. The quantity of water collecting around the basement of this house is such that It'should t?e collected in a sump and then pumped to the municipal storm drainage system on the east side of the house i.e. away from :Beechwood Drive and the Don Valley" ^ - A number of photographs indicating that it is a sub-mace water and also its significant volume. - Mr Joseph Lee, the structural engineer retained by the owner of 35 Beechwood Drive and who designed the retaining walls for this site and supervised tpeir construction, WItnessed the volumes of underground -water fl9wing from the south side and the slope. In the meeting of November 6, 741 2000 with TRCA staff he stated that "the major problem in that site is the water coming out from the south side of the property" He went further to add that the volume of water flowing from that site could not be from the weeping tiles around the foundation but rather from the area to the south of the property He added that the pwpose of the weeping tiles is only to collect very little surface water from around the house and not the volume of water that is generated from the south side. - Mr Tanos of "Terra probe", during the same meeting (November 6,2000) agreed with Mr Lee and presented a cross section and an area plan of the site confinning that the area to the south always contained underground water and the introduction of the house at 35 Beechwood Drive property might have blocked the flow and forced the water to redirect its flow towards Beechwood Drive. n was disappointing to note that: - this significant underground water and its adverse affects is reflected in the report as surface water therefore minimizing its adverse effects on the site and on adjoining properties. - that the renaming of the underground water to "surface" water eliminates the issue with the hydrostatic pressure. The above are significant and important points and in contradiction to the issue presented. It is my opinion that the members of the Executive Conunittee should have been appraised of these findings for an objective decision on the recommendations. B Bullet 2, page 47 states: That there is little evidence of ground water build up behind the retaining wall resulting in hydrostatic pressures. Evidence provided by the adjacent property owner indicates that the groundwater is being managed and conveyed through the site to the municipal street. The writer of this letter strongly disagrees with TRCA's statement that the" .ground water is being managed and conveyed through the site to the municipal street." Instead the writer clearly stated and presented through a series of photo graphs that the groundwater is being :MISMANAGED through a poorly constructed weeping tile system, within and outside the property, resulting in the unsafe conditions on the street and in the creation of hydrostatic pressure in the winter - The evidence submitted to TRCA staff included the following: - a series of photographs depicting the poor construction of the drainage system - a video showing the constantly discharging water in front of my property reflecting the volume of the underground water (referred to previously) that discharges on Beechwood DIWe and on my driveway, - a photograph showing more than one inch gap between a 2.5' to 3' high retaining wall and the edge of the driveway as a result of ice fonnation, built behind the wall, - a number of photographs depicting the large zones of ice formed in front of my property (appox, 9'x 25') restricting accessability to my property, - photographs showing the large zones of ice covering his chiveway This ice fonnation has already changed the slope of the driveway, It is commonly known that when the ground freezes, plugging the shallow weeping tiles, the constantly running underground water accumulates behind the walls, freezing behind these walls or finding its way under otller properties undeImining these properties. 742 C. Page 45 item "1982" includes the following statement: '~s a result ofthi~ action, the existing "as built" conditions were considered acceptable to the mCA." - The as built conditions Include a 9 -10ft high retaining concrete ,block retaining wall supporting the south slope. The following infonnation was submitted to TRCA staff. - Halsall Associates Limited. Investigation of the Retaining'Wall. Repol1 prepared for TRCA. This firm is unable to vouch for the structural adequacy ofthe retaining wall. - Mr Joseph Lee, Joseph Lee E~eering Company Limiteq. 1;'he original Engineer who designed the subject wall and conducted a nwnbet of site visits. Mr Lee stated dunng the meeting that he is not vouching for the wall. - The city's own engineer Mr. Kishmore Henunadi who inspected the wall and has expressed his written views that "under adverse conditions such as heavy rainstonn the.wall may become unstable" - Mr. Stanley Cooper of Cooper Kowowski Structural Engineers who visited the site and inspected the wall on November 4, 2000, ~nds the wall inadequate. Having reviewed the letter of opinion and its attachments, prepared by his partner in December 1998 for this wall, he stated during the meeting that the letter was only a letter of opinion based on the (inadequate ) infonnation provided to him by the owner and it Is secondary to a letter or position of the original engineer and in this case Mr Lee who does not vouch for the wall. He clarified that if his partner had the complete infolmation (i.e. Mr Lee's objection to vouch for the wall and the inadequate construction processes) he would not have.been generous in his letter In effect he overrid~s his partner's letter and therefore he d,oes not vouch for the wall either It is left to the judgement of the members of the Executive Committee to consider the statement that the as built conditions are considered acceptable, wherr a number of professionals do not vouch for the structural adequacy of the wall. It is dishell1tening to note also that an organization as strong and' as responsible as TRCA chose to accept a retaining wall on a secondary opinion (and use it in court proceedings) while fully aware that the original SOl1ctural engineer is unwillin& to vouch for the wall. D. Page 46, para. 4 includes the following statement. Matters related to site specific drainage, both surface and subsurface, such as weeping tile drainage and proposed driyeway grades, was liot subject to the requirements of the issued permit and were dealt with by the municipality through the Site Plan Control approval process. TIus is not an accurate statement. Through the' approval process the municipality had the opportunity to review and approve weeping tile drainage and the house drainage to the city services. At the time of the approval process the subsurface water proble.ql was not known. The boreholes of the the geotechnical report-indicated no ground water The uriderground water problem appell10ed during construction. The reconunendations included in the geotec1uUcal reports referred to previously, were not enforced either by TRCA or by the Municipality It is my opinion SUPPolted by professional advice received that it is the responsibility of TRCA for the resolution of adverse a~ects of underground water created by a TRCA pemut within their area of 743 jurisdIction, In sununary It is my view that the Issue ofthe underground water and its adverse effects on the site and the adJOll1ll1g properties and structures was addressed m great detail dunng the review and received support. TIlere seemed to be an understandmg and agreement of the Issue. TIllS Issue In the report IS now nU1U11U~ed and passed on. No remedy is ideniliied, though I submItted a reconullendatIon to TRCA Respectfully Anthony Barkas 744 " CORRESPONDENCE (D) theDo.f DON WATERSHED REGENERATION COUNCIL ~ December 1, 2000 - , Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 5 Shoreham Drive Downsview, ON M3N 184 Dear Chair and Members ,RE.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information Proposal The proposal consists of excavating fill for basement. grading of site for proposed commercial addition, fill placement for retaining walls and for associated parking lot at east end of site. The proposed addition and parking lot are located within a Special Policy Area of the Town of Markham which allows for major additions and related private servicing Parking lots are consistent within the corridor reach Control of Floodinq According to TRCA's policies the minimum level of flood protection required for structures within the SPA is equal to the 1 350 year storm elevation In this case the 350 year storm elevation equals 172.06 metres c.g d The minimum opening elevation on the east face (rear door) of the proposed addition exceeds this criteria at 173.35m. TRCA's policies also state that private servicing such as parking lots can have a level of protection less that the 1 350 year flood event. The lowest spot elevation of 172.65m is indicated on the parking lot which will be above the 350 year storm. The ingress/egress is safe from the north pursuant to Provincial flood proofing guidelines Final grades will be lower or match existing in the parking lot therefore, there will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters The retaining walls surrounding the parking lot will not create any significant impacts to flooding The structure will be able to withstand flood flows and velocities Pollution Sedimentation is not expected to leave this site from these works as the site is separated from the watercourse by Kennedy Road at the eastern extremity of the site Conservation of Land All disturbed areas will be restored following construction As there will be no instream work there will be no concerns related to fish habitat loss No significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works There will be no slope stability issues related to the works Policv Guidelines The proposal complies with Section 4 2.1 B)-Development Guidelines for Development/Redevelopment within Designated Two Zone Areas or Special Policy Areas- of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program 774 , >- 1 CFN 31725 Application #. 342/00/MARK Report Prepared by' June Murphy, extension 5304 For information contact: June Murphy, extension 53Q4 Date November 23, 2000 81 15 JOSEPH WHELAN To alter a waterway, construct in a flood plain on Part Lot 30, Conces~ion 6, (4625 Nineteenth Avenue), in the Town of Markham, Rouge,River Watershed as located on the property owned by Joseph Whelan The purpose is to construct a structure ( 1- 6m x 12m tee platform) within a Regional Storm Floodplain, and to alter a watercourse and existing on-line pond, on a tributary of the Mandarin Creek, during the warmwater timing window-July 1 to March 31- (through decrea~ing the size of the pond by filling, removal of existing deteriorated outlet structure and through excavation along the entire length (396 m/1300 ft) to .enhance flow) The site is not regulated for fill placement.

CFN 31723 Application #. 341/00/MARK Report Pr~pared by' June Murphy, extension 5304 For information contact: June Murphy, extension 5304 Date. November 20,\2000 RES.#B185/00 - 35 BEEC'HWOOD DRIVE, CITY OF TORONTO (EAST YORK DISTRICT) The adjacent property owners at 33 and 37 Beechwood Drive have expressed concerns at the July 7, 2000 Executive Committee regarding slope instability and drainage as a result of the construction of a new house and retaining walls on the above noted property 777 Moved by Joan King Seconded by Donna Patterson WHEREAS the Executive Committee directed staff to conduct an in-depth review of the remediation work required to stabilize the property at 35 Beechwood Drive, and report back to the Committee on how the work will be completed. THAT the Executive Committee direct staff to advise all parties that the outstanding issues related to the Authority mandate have been resolved through the resolution of Authority Permit C-92083 AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to forward information related to the issues outside of the Authoritts mandate to the City of Toronto to explore other opportunities to resolve these issues. CARRIED SITE CHARACTERISTICS The site at 35 and 37 Beechwood Drive is located on the valley wall of the Don River outside of the Floodplain and entirely within the Fill regulated area. The two homes are built into the valley slope and Beechwood Drive extends along the valley wall from the top to the bottom of the slope. The house located at 33 Beechwood Drive sits on the top of bank. The homes at 35 and 37 have been recently constructed, whereas the home at 33 was constructed quite some time ago HISTORY H~88 T-he-At:tthority-recommended-co nditionai-approval-forlhe-creatron--ot-a-resi-d ential--- lot at 35 Beechwood Drive subject to the applicant providing a geotechnical report to the satisfaction of TRCA staff 1990 This position was reiterated on a re-circulation of the application 1992 Ontario Municipal Board (OMS) hearing was held related to the appeal of the severance at 35 Beechwood Drive from adjacent landowners At this hearing the severance for 37 Beechwood Drive was also heard The OMB directed that the various parties work together and resolve the matter Authority staff reviewed the detailed drawings and geotechnical reports submitted in support of the applications and concluded that the TRCA issues had been addressed The severances were approved by the OMB 1992 The TRCA approved permit C-92083 for placement of fill in a regulated area to facilitate the construction of a new house at 35 Beechwood Drive 1995 The proposed works received Site Plan approval subject to fulfilling conditions which were included in the Site plan Agreement. A condition of the agreement required the applicant to obtain a permit under Ontario Regulation from the TRCA. This condition was fulfilled through the issuance of permit C-92083 1996 The landowner commenced construction of the works 778 . 1998 The TRCA charged the landowner of 35 Beechwood Drive for works not in accor.dance with the above noted permit. The matter was heard'in Provincial Offenses Court, where the TRCA and the Defendant presented a joint agreement on a guilty plea and fine for the Defendant, with the TRCA waiving the requirement for a removal order As a result of this action, the existing-':as built" conditions were considered acceptable to the TRCA 2000 July The neighbours from 33 and 37 Beech,wood Drive made a deputation to the TRCA Executive Committee expressing concerns regarding slQpe instability and drainage as a result of construction on the ,above noted site. 2000 October/November' Staff met with the landowner, neighbours, City of Toronto Staff ~nd Mike Tanos of Terraprobe to conduct a review of the matter and determine any potential solutions ISSUES The adjoining property owners have raised four primary issues pertaining to 35 Beechwood Drive. . Slope stability adjacent to 33 Beeqhwood Drive. At present the slope is stabilized through a series of retaining walls (along a portion of the property line with 33 Beechwood is an older retaining wall (wall A) that predates the permit approval, a temporary shoring wall that was installed as part of the house construction is located on the upper portion of the slope, and. curved retaining wall (wall C) at the lower portion of the site) The issues relate to the stabHity-<:>f-tfie-slepe-aftd-petentiaHmpaet-en-the-pr6perty-at--SB-Beeehweod-as-well-as-the - potential disturbance to the gas line which runs adjacent to 33 Beechwood The location of the retaining walls is shown on the attached site pran . Sub-surface drainage concerns which could potentially affect the slope stability The adjacent residents have indicated that hydrostatic pressure is building behind the wall as a result of poor drainage and construction of weeping tiles, which over"time will destabilize the slope. , . Surface drainage is concentrated at the northern corner: of 35 Beechwood Drive which collects on the driveway and roadway in front of 37 Beechwood Drive. The adjacent residents are cqncerned that this impacts public .safety, specifically the ice buildup onjhe street and driveway during the winter months . The stability of the wall (wall D) between the two homes at 35 and 37 Beechwood and the wall (wall C) between the driveways The adjacent lanc;:lowner is concerned with material falling onto the outdoor porch, fr:om wall D creating both a safety and enjoyment of property issue. TRCAINVOLVEMENT The scope of the Authority's involvement on this site relates to an evaluation of the placement of fill with in the Fill Regulated area to ensure slope stability In relation to the specific issues identified by the adjacent owners, TRCA involvement would look to E?nsure that the overall , 779 , . slope stability will not create a hazard to the site and the surrounding area The issues related to the stability of the wall between the two homes, stability of the wall between the driveways, and the surface drainage onto the roadway and the adjacent driveways are not concerns that the Authority has the ability or the mandate to address However, given that the neighbours have raised these additional concerns we will continue to discuss these issues with the City of Toronto to ensure that any opportunities through the City's requirements are explored Therefore, in accordance with the Authority's mandate our comments have focused on the slope stability assessment including the component of the subsurface drainage as it may affect the overall slope stability TRCA's previous comments related to ensuring that any new development on the subject site addressed the slope stability hazard The proponent provided technical documentation to the satisfaction of staff in support of the proposed severance and new house This allowed Authority staff to support the related planning applications and issuance of a permit for the placement of fill in a regulated area in order to construct a new house. In general, permits are issued assuming that the applicant will complete normal maintenance on the approved works and is not based on set life time of the works (e.g 100 years) Matters related to site specific drainage, both surface and subsurface, such as weeping tile drainage and proposed driveway grades, was not subject to the requirements of the issued permit and were dealt with by the municipality through the Site Plan Control approval process GEOTECHNICAL REVIEW Given the issues expressed by the adjacent owners the TRCA undertook a review of the current site conditions At the request of the TRCA Staff, Terraprobe carried out a geotechnical review of the slope conditions at 33, 35 and 37 Beechwood Drive. A copy of this report will be forwarded to the City of Toronto as part of a package on the site issues The review included discussions with TRCA staff, landowner, neighbours and previously involved technical consultants, a site inspection of the properties, a review of available geological information and previous borehole logs, TRCA file information, adjacent property owners' written concerns, and the October 19, 2000 submission package from the landowner at 33 Beechwood Dr The results of the review by Terraprobe and by TRCA technical staff regarding slope stability and subsurface drainage are as follows . There is little factual evidence to suggest there are any significant adverse conditions related to slope or retaining wall instability which might impact the house at No 33 Beechwood Dr , . That failure of the retaining walls on 35 Beechwood is not expected to result in significant slope instability or negatively-impact the house at 33 Beechwood Drive. Staff note that the slope on 35 Beechwood Drive, which is comprised of very dense Sandy Silt Till, was left exposed for over a year without significant erosion or failure of the slope and that the slope has remained stable subsequent to completion of construction . That there is little evidence of ground water build up behind the retaining wall resulting in hydrostatic pressures Evidence provided by the adjacent property owner indicates that groundwater is being managed and conveyed through the site to the municipal street. 780 " I \ ADDITIONAL INFORMA1fION Additional information within the'Terraprobe report included a review of matters outside of the Authority ability or mandate to address, such as the two walls located between the driveways and between the houses of 37 and 35 Beechwood Drive, and site drainage. The report indicates that there.are some loosely stacked pre-cast blocks between the two houses at, Nos. 35 and 37 on the west side, which if dislodged present a danger to the patio area of No 37 Furthermore, there is a low retaining wall between Nos 35 and 37 near the road, which is leaning and unstable, it does no!- currently present a danger to pedestrians or to vehicles, but it may topple and may result in minor ground movement which could affect the driveway of No 35 There is perched ground water seepage discharging from the high table land and the slope crest area of Nos 35 and 33, onto the slope soil, surface and outletting near the road curb, during cold weather this seepage likely freezes and ices thereby presenting a danger (slippery ice on ground) to pedestrians and vehicles These issues relate to municipal Property S,tandards which should be.explpred further by the.City of Toronto Staff As such this report will forwarded to the City for information and appropriate action Staff has also had an opportunity to discuss the potential. disturba,nc~ of the gas line se~icing 35 Beechwood prive due to slope instability Enbridge Consumers Gas has stated that the existing site condition is satisfactory and .foresee no issues regarding the safety of the noted gas line as a, result of slope instability on the site. SUMMARY Staff's review of the matter has concluded the following points . That the issues of slope stability assessment including the component of the subsurface drainage as it may affect the overall slope stability which relate to the Authority mandate have been resolved through the resolution of Authority Permit C-92083 The resolution was completed through TRCA's successful charges and conviction of the landowner of 35 Beechwood Drive and the agreed upon joint settlement before the Provincial Offenses Court. . That the evaluation completed by T erraprobe on behalf of the TRCA, indicated that there is little factual evidence to suggest there are any significant adverse conditions related to slope or retaining wall instability which might impact,the house at No 33 Beechwood'Dr . The issues related to the stability of the wall between, the two homes, stability of the wall between the driveways, and the surface drainage o.nto the roadway and the adjacent driveways are issues that the Authority has no remedy or the mandate to address 781, In summary, there is no opportunity or need for staff to recommend changes to the site. In addition, the issues pertaining to the surface and subsurface drainage are outside the permit requirements of the TRCA. Report prepared by Chris Hibberd, extension 5281 For Information contact: Jane Clohecy, extension 5214 Date November 21, 2000 RES.#B186/00 - OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT 600, CITY OF VAUGHAN TRCA Requests the Region of York to modify the amendment to ensure that the Authority's interests are addressed in future planning within the City of Vaughan Moved by Gerri Lynn O'Connor Seconded by Donna Patterson THAT the Region of York be requested to modify the City of Vaughan Official Plan Amendment 600 to address the following issues. 1 Modify the Valley and Stream Corridor policies to ensure that a buffer, generally of 10 metres, be established along the valley and stream corridors. These modifications for both valley and stream corridors would reflect the policy intent that the City of Vaughan has recommended for the Kleinburg/Nashville Secondary Plan area (OPA 601), as well as the previous policies that were approved in OPA 400 for areas of the City outside of the Deferral 5 area. 2 Modify the Water Resource Runoff Control policies to ensure that, where necessary, stormwater quantity control facilities are implemented for regional control. 3 Modify the Wetland Protection policies to delete the potential relocation or replication of important wetland function for unclassified wetlands. THAT Authority staff forward this report to the Region of York and the City of Vaughan, including other minor modifications to OPA 600 THAT Authority staff report back to the Executive Committee on discussions with York Region and their final modifications to Official Plan Amendment 600 AMENDMENT #1 RES.#B187/00 Moved by Gerrj Lynn O'Connor Seconded by Donna Patterson THAT the following be inserted before last paragraph of the main motion 782 THAT staff be directed to develop suggested wording regarding buffers in consultation with the City of Vaughan, York Region and representatives of the development industry, -and report to the Authority on January 26, 2000 or sooner if possible. AMENDMENT #2 Moved by Michael Di Biase Seconded by' Lorna Bissell . THAT point 1 above be removed from the main motion. AMENDMENT #1 WAS CARRIED AMENDMENT #2 WAS NOT CARRIED' THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED , BACKGROUND The City of Vaughan has undertaken a review of Official Plan Amendment 400 which was approved by the Province in 1995 OPA 400 guided the growth and development of three communities in Va,ughan as well as the 'protection of the rural area and the natural environment. In general, OPA 600 provides for changes in the land use designations by adding some additional lands for urban development, as well as an update of other policies including the environmental policies For the most part, OPA 400 policies provided an excellent framework for the protection and restoration of natural features within the City of Vaughan, and this framework has been continued in O~A 600 Many of the policies within the amendment have set standards for other environmental policies withill our jurisdiction During preparation of the upc;late of OPA 400-policies, staff provided comments to the City, and many of these comments have been included in OPA 600, with the exception of the following . Authority staff had requested that the amendment incorporate the requirement for a buffer, generally 10 metres, adjacent to the Valley and Stream Corridors The previous approved policies of OPA 400 established a buffer of generally 10 metres for most areas of the City with the exception of the areas identified a9 DeferraL 5 For the Deferral 5 areas, the policies required a structural setback of 10 metres from the top of bank. The effect of OPA 600 policies would be to now only require a structural setback from the top of bank in all , . areas of the City rather than the buffer previously required in OPA 400 and recently adopted for the Kleinburg/Nashville area (OPA 601) . Within the Water Resource policies, Authority staff had requested changes to ensure that where necessary, regional control of stormwater may be required Regional control may be necessary in some of the upper reaches to ensure minimal impact on aquatic habitat and downstream landowners The necessity of this requirement would be determined through the preparation of a MESP . Changes. to the Wetland policies late in the process would allow for the-relocation or replication of Class 4 to 7 wetland features which are currently unevaluated Authority staff recommend that relocation or replications not be considered as an alternative to protection of the features and functions at the existing location 783 OPA 600 was adopted by the City of Vaughan on September 25, 2000 The Region of York has requested the Authority's comments by December 8, 2000 RATIONALE Buffer Policies The policies of OPA 600 generally require that necessary buffer areas are provided to ensure the protection of wetlands, woodlot and Environmentally Significant Areas The necessary buffer width, which could be set aside as a separate block, would be determined through further study at the more detailed planning stage (Block Plan stage) A similar requirement is not adopted for the valley and stream corridor which are an important element of the overall natural heritage system The long term protection of the valley and stream corridors are achieved by ensuring that the overall function of the features is maintained The purpose of a buffer is to provide for a transition between the urban development and the natural features, which has the effect of filtering the impact of new development. A buffer provides for the following functions . changes in grade and drainage patterns between the limits of the natural feature and the new development; . runoff management which minimize erosion and impacts on water quality, . wind, noise and light impacts on flora and fauna, . additional vegetative protection for more sensitive natural features, . a buffer strip to filter undesirable contaminants and reduces dumping of yard waste, . management of hazardous trees and control of invasive plants, . screens the natural area, its wildlife, and recreational uses from the visual impacts of development, . emergency access to natural features, and . a margin of error against microclimatic and other long term changes in the environment. A buffer provides an area where the negative impact to the features can be mitigated As a result, the management of this area is crucial to its success in meeting its objective. Given the role of a buffer in protecting the feature, it may be necessary for it to be set aside from the lot fabric, maintained in a natural state and ideally revegetated Implemented as a structural setback and used as an amenity space, within the yard, the buffer is most a often manicured lawn with limited ground cover diversity and in many instances has been regraded, accommodating pools and landscaping features For the most part, structural setbacks, do not allow the buffer to perform the functions as indicated above Staff recommend that the policies of OPA 600 be amended to generally require a buffer of 10 metres adjacent to the valley and stream corridors This modification would reflect the policy intent of the TRCA Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, as well as the intent of policies adopted by the City of Vaughan for the recently approved Kleinburg/Nashville area, and the previously approved policies applicable in OPA 400 for the areas outside of the Deferral 5 areas In addition, it is recommended that a similar buffer requirement be reflected for stream corridors The buffering of stream corridors becomes more crucial when considering protection of water quality and fisheries within some of the urban expansion areas at the headwaters on the Oak Ridges Moraine where there is no definable valley features 784 , ~ - '0 The necessity of providing a buffer requirement has been established within other Official Plans in York Region Both the Town of Markham and the King City Secondary Plan recognize and require the protection of a buffer adjacent to all features In both these instances, the Plan's establish minimum buffer widths, which in the case of valley and stream corridors, is 10 metres A ~imilar treatment 9.f the valley and stream corridors within the Qity of Vaughan is '" recommended Regional Control of Stormwater The policies of OPA 600 currently require that stormwater be controlled at a pre-development level for 2 through 100 year storm events Authority staff recommend that the pqlicies be modified to ensure that, where necessary through the MESP, regional control be required While in the past, 100 year control has been found adequate, there are areas where regional control may be necessary as development extends into the middle and upper reaches of the watershed To ensur~ minimal impact on aquatic habitat and downstream landowners, the policies in OPA 600 should- not preclude this level of control Wetland Features OPA 400 policies for unclassified wetlands assessed as Class 4 through 7, requires that proponents demonstrate that the important wetland functions will be protected The changes to these policies through OPA 600 would allow, as an alternative, that the feature may be replicated or relocated to the satisfa..ction of the City and the TRCA. The effect of this change is to open the opportunity to relocate important wetland features to other locations Wetland features eXist on the landscape as a result of many factors For the most part they cannot be simply relocated and continue to perform a comparable natural function While staff strongly support and advocate the creation of wetlands where enhancement opportunities exist, we do not support their creation to replace existing features and functions on the current landscape. Staff recommend that this intent be deleted from OPA 600 given that the current process allows for the identification of important features which are to be maintained in the longer term In cases where these functions are miminal, the protection of these functions can be accomplished in a variety of ways. CONCLUSIONS Authority staff recommend that the Executive Committee request the Region of York to modify policies of Official Plan Amendment 600 to ensure that: . a buffer along valley and stream corridors which is not solely a structural setback be included to ensure that the important features and functions of these areas are maintained in the long term, . the requirement of Regional Control of Stormwater, where necessary, be included to ensure that downstream landowners are protected, and . the provision to allow for the rel~cation or replication of important wetland features be deleted WORK TO BE DONE Staff will forward this report as well as other minor modifications to York Region as a response to their request for comments A further report to the Executive Committee on the outcome of discussions with York Region and the City of Vaughan will follow For information contact, Jane Clohecy, extension 5214 Date November 23,2000 785 NEW BUSINESS RES.#B188/00 Moved by Joan King Seconded by Donna Patterson THAT best wishes in recovering from her illness be sent to Mayor Lorna Jackson on behalf of Authority staff and members.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Since the mid 1960's the Authority has operated the farm at Albion Hills under licence agreement. The farm has been a component of the Albion Hills Field Centre's education program offerings and continues to be used by both customers of the Authority's education program and that of the Etobicoke Outdoor Education Centre. The agreement with the current farm operator, Jeff Cridland, is now up for renewal The farm manager supplies the livestock, machinery and expertise needed to run a dairy farm. In addition, the farm manager allows public visitation to his operation and provides a learning experience through interaction with students and other visitors The Authority supplies the farm buildings, milkhouse equipment, milk quota and land Quota for 32 head of cattle was given to the Authority a number of years ago, free of charge, by the Milk Marketing Board to support our demonstration efforts This was further augmented through the purchase of quota for 8 head by the Authority, the current farm manager has also purchased and uses his own milk quota. The Milk Marketing Board pays the Authority directly for the milk produced at the farm and the Authority deducts the monthly rent from the milk cheque and forwards the balance to the farm operator Additionally, the Etobicoke Outdoor Education Centre provides the Authority an annual contribution towards the program. 796 . - The,current farm operator has expr,essed an interest in eX'tend!ngthe agreemellt for an additional number of years Authority staff has met on several occasions to review the terms , and conditions of the agreement, and have concluded that prior to entering into a new agrl3ement a formal assessment of the costs and b~nefits of the program needs to be conipleted This analysis would provide the information- necessary to determine the future direction for any terms and conditions of this program As such, staff are recommending a one year extension to the licence agreement with Jeff Cridland, at a monthly rent of $1,600 ($19,200 annually) which is a nominal increase of $100jmonth For the most;part th~ balance of the terms and conditions associated with the original licence agreement remain unaltered, save and except some minor changes for clarification purposes and the requirement that the farm operator maintain the access road to the farm. RATIONALE Given the amount of time which has passed since the inception of this program, and the age of the infrastructure and facilities associated with this agreement, a formal assessment of the costs and benefits associated with the program needs to be completed prior to negotiating and committing to a longer term arrangement.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The Province of Ontario introduced a province wide current value realty tax system in 1998. This new system was to be phased in over a number of years For the first three years (1998, 1999 and 2000) the current values of properties in the province were based on their value as of June 30, 1,996 For the next two years (2001 and 2002) the current values of properti~s in the province will be based on their value as of June 30, 1999 This re-assessment was done in a much snorter period of time than most experts advised The assessments were generated using computer models, which is fairly accurate for similar types of properties with large volumes of sales such as residential As Authority lands are unique, there was' a high probability that there would be incorrect assessments Quotations were,obtained from three tax consultants to assist with a review of all realty taxable Authority holdings, to assist with negotiation with the Assessment Offices and to assist with any necessary assessment arpeals Yeoman & Associates Inc. was the successful firm and was hired to undertake this work in May of 1998. 833 While the focus of this initial phase of this project was to review all Authority holdings to identify assessments that were unreasonable, there was some flexibility to undertake discussions with the various assessment Offices to resolve any significant discrepancies in values As a result of this review and discussions with the Assessment Offices, Yeoman & Associates Inc achieved an initial reduction in 1998 taxes of approximately $70,000 Also, as a result of this review process, appeals were filed in 1998 for 116 roll numbers In late 1998 Yeoman & Associates Inc was engaged by the Authority to finalize the outstanding 1998 assessment appeals As a result of the 1998 province wide re-assessment, a high number of assessments were considered incorrect and an overwhelming number of assessment appeals were filed with the Assessment Review Board This created quite a back log for the Assessment Review Board resulting in Hearing dates for 1998 appeals being delayed In the case of the Authority, Pre-Hearing dates for the Authority's outstanding 1998 assessment appeals were delayed until early 2000 The 116 roll numbers were automatically appealed for 1999 and 2000 with no additional appeal fees being payable The Authority also appealed an additional 24 roll numbers for properties that were acquired during this time. Through extensive negotiations with Assessment Offices in the Regions of York and Durham, on behalf on the Authority, Yeoman & Associates Inc were able to achieve for the years 1998 to 2000 reductions of taxes of approximately $85,000 per year on top of the approximately $70,000 per year achieved from the initial review To date, negotiations with Assessment Officials in the Region of Peel is ongoing for the 1998, 1999 and 2000 taxation years, and is anticipated to be resolved in early 2001 Staff will report further in early 2001 on the outcome of all the outstand;ng property tax appeals With a new current value assessment for 2001, there is again a high probability that there will be incorrect assessments for Authority owned lands given the properties unique characteristics Staff is recommending hiring Yeoman & Associates Inc to undertake a review of all new 2001 assessments In recognizing that there is an opportunity to have discussions with Assessment Offices prior to the March 31, 2001 appeal deadline with the possibility to reach an agreement to reduce the assessment without the Authority having to pay any appeal fee, it is important to undertake the necessary review of all our assessments in a timely manner RATIONALE The knowledge gained by Yeoman & Associates Inc. of Authority properties and there values during the 1998-2000 appeals will be beneficial in reviewing the new assessments Yeoman & Associates Inc has demonstrated their ability and experience in dealing with assessment related matters Report prepared by' Tom Campitelli, extension 5335 For Information contact: Tom Campitelli, extension 5335 Date.

Moved by' Jim McMaster Seconded by Michael Di Biase IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT The Authority enter into an agreement for the purchase of Payroll\HR software with St~rGarden Software Inc. for an amount not to exceed $73,750 plus applicable taxes; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed and authorized to enter into and sign any necessary contracts or other documents with StarGarden Software Inc. in a form and subject to terms an9 conditions satisfactory to the Authority CARRIED BACKGROUND This summer, the Authority initiated a proposal call process for Payroll and Human Resources application software This process was initiated in order to address numerous concerns wjth regard to HR functionality and payroll accounting in existing programs Although, Ceridian (previously Comcheq), the Authority's payroll service provider, had responded favourably to , our needs as addressed in the proposal call process of 1996\97, it is now abundantly clear that they cannot deliver more than a basic payroll service. For example, the Ceridian HR module cannot be used because it requires unique job titles, the vacation credit accumulator requires constant adjustment and provides no history, no report is possible which tracks employee labour charges or benefit costs over a given period or for a given project; the report writer is cumbersome, and no event in~icators are. available. The cost of the Ce~dian service is about $24,000 per year ANALYSIS The proposal call document was prepared with the help of a payroll consulting firm, Leading Edge Payroll Applications Inc The consultant identified nine suppliers whq, were invited to submit a proposal Six responses were received, one of which was to inform us that the company would not be responding to our process The five proposals received were initially rejected on the basis of cost, lack of functionality and/or the incompleteness of the response. On the advice of the consultant, staff met with three of the software suppliers (including the one who had failed to submit a proposal) to ensure that the functional requirements were, in fact, understood and to further review the cost elements of each product The fourth respondent was not approached because cost was excessive (close to $200,000) and finally, the last two respondents were not approached because they clearly could not meet the functional requirements As a result of additional meetings with the three suppliers, the proposal from Microtec Computer Systems Inc was rejected on the basis of functionality Staff continued the evaluation of the remaining two proposals - one from StarGarden Software Inc., with its main office in Vancouver and the other from Best Software in Burlington Upon closer examination it became clear that the Best Software splution did not currently provide all of the functionality required, but the Company had intended to offer possible solutions in the new.release of the 845 program, scheduled for March or April 2001 Both the consultants and staff prefer the Stargarden proposal Of all of the proposals examined it is the only one that meets all of the Authority's functional requirements at this time, as addressed in the proposal call document. Unlike the Best Software solution, it is not a series of "stackable" modules which require additional investment as our information needs grow Unique to their proposal, StarGarden has undertaken a detailed, on-site, assessment of our PR/HR needs and IT environment in order to determine any implementation or IT issues and to assure itself that it can complete the assignment within the cost estimates provided The assessment document, including a proposed implementation schedule, has been presented to staff References have been checked and have been extremely positive The software was often described as "flexible" or adaptive and the support service as excellent. This is consistent with the payroll consultant's evaluation As an alternative solution, staff asked the City of Toronto if it would consider acting as a service provider to the Authority The City clearly intends to extend its SAP system to all of its ABC's, the library being currently on the top of their priority list. (None of the ABC's are currently on the City's SAP system) The advantages of this course of action include the ability to access a high quality HR/PR system for a fraction of the cost, as well as dependable back up facilities and programming However, it may take several years before the City is ready to extend its program to the Authority There may also be licensing issues to deal with because the Authority is not a controlled entity of the City At the moment, City staff are not prepared to contemplate how they would charge for services And there may also be other logistical issues which will have to be dealt with, specifically addressing exactly what level of service the City would provide versus how much they would allow the Authority to do for itself Staff will continue to monitor the City's progress in extending its SAP system to the ABC's and may recommend an alternate course of action at a later date. FINANCIAL DETAILS The StarGarden proposal will cost approximately $73,750, excluding taxes The Best Software proposal which, as noted above, does not meet the Authority's needs, came in at $62,650 Although funding for this project has been identified within the 2000 budget, should the need arise, management has committed to making this project a priority for the 2001 budget cycle. Should the Executive not approve staff's recommendation, the Authority is required to pay StarGarden $2,500 for its on-site assessment, which has already been undertaken, otherwise, the cost of the assessment is included in the estimate noted above. In addition to the initial outlay for the software, StarGarden will require an annual maintenance agreement starting at $9,800 for 2001 Report prepared by. Rocco Sgambelluri, extension 5232 Date.

The Authority consider disposing of a parcel of Authority-owned land located on the east side of Westney Road, North of Pickering/Uxbridge Town Line, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham Moved by Lorna Bissell Seconded by Michael Di Biase 870 THAT the potential disposal of a parcel of land, located on the east side of Westney Road north of the Pickering/Uxbridge Town Line being Part of Lots 2 & 3, Concession 6, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, be referred to the Authority staff for review in accordance with established Authority staff for review in accordance with established Authority policies, AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action. CARRIED BACKGROUND This issue is being brought to your attention in accordance with Resolution #A289/94, adopted by the members of the Authority at a meeting held on January 27, 1995 This resolution requires staff to bring requests for the purchase of Authority lands forward and requires Executive Committee direction for staff to begin the technical review, agency circulation and public consultation, at the end of which a recommendation will be made as to whether the property is surplus to the Authority's needs and can be considered for possible disposal The acquisition of the Timbers property was completed on May 18, 1999 Local residents and other concerned citizens contributed $112,000 At the time of closing, there was an outstanding balance of funding required to be raised which totalled $288,000 The Conservation Foundation's Charles Sauriol Environmental Land Trust undertook to try to complete the fundraising To date the Land Trust has raised $168,473. Also, staff and representatives of the residents at the time of closing agreed that consideration might be given to a severance of a small lot which could be sold to offset the outstanding balance for the purchase of the Timbers site. This suggestion was put before the Duffins Creek Headwaters Advisory Committee at their recent meeting by a resident member of the Committee. The Duffins Creek Headwaters Advisory Committee has asked the Authority to consider the sale of a small parcel of the former Timbers property to cover the outstanding costs associated with the purchase of the Timbers property The size and location of the lot will be determined as part of the review A plan illustrating this location is attached Report prepared by: Mike Fenning, extension 5223 For Information contact: Mike Fenning, extension 5223 Date: January 23, 2001 Attachments. 1 871 Attachment 1 __ I .

THAT a Memorandum of Understanding for Research and Design be developed between The University of Guelph - Landscape Research Group and The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority AND FURTHER THAT A project Terms of Reference be developed for Tommy Thompson Park for the delivery of research and design services at a total cost not to exceed $75,000 plus G.S T CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1959, the Toronto Harbour Commissioners (now known as the Toronto Port Authority (TPA) began construction of a spit of land at the base of Leslie Street in the City of Toronto, to expand port facilities in anticipation of increased shipping activity on the Great Lakes From 1959 until present day, a combination of lakefilling and dredging activities created the current configuration of Tommy Thompson Park. Construction followed a three phased design with the formation of the Eastern Headland first, followed by the peninsulas on the north side of the spine in 1973-74 and the Endikement, which was initiated in 1979 Tommy Thompson Park extends 5 kilometres into Lake Ontario and has a total land base of approximately 160 hectares and a water surface area of 100 hectares composed of embayments and the disposal cells The three disposal cells, contained between the endikement and the main spine (headland), have been designed as a Confined Disposal Facility for the disposal of dredged material The smaller of the three cells (Cell 1 - 8.2 hectares and Cell 2 - 9 3 hectares) have both been filled to capacity and no longer receive dredgeate. Cell 3, the largest at 32.1 hectares, is still actively used for dredgeate disposal To date, park activities have been tied to the Interim Management Program, Keating Channel Dredging and Disposal Program, and Habitat Creation Projects The framework for the habitat work at Tommy Thompson Park has been designed through an extensive Master Planning Process conducted by the TRCA (Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan and Environmental Assessment (EA), MTRCA, 1989 with final approval by the Minister of the Environment in 1992. The Master Planning Process involved an ecological approach to park development which focused on preserving and creating a unique urban wilderness, and 873 consisted of consultations, workshops and public meetings The process began in 1983 and entailed a five-phase approach Phase I Setting of goals/zone identification/review of background data (completed 1985) Phase II Evaluation of development components/identification of restraints (completed 1 986) Phase III Examination of concept alternatives/selection of preferred concept plan (completed 1987) Phase IV Preparation of a Master Plan (completed 1989; revised and approved 1992) Phase V Environmental Assessment Act approval (received 1995) The main objectives of the Master Plan are to . Preserve significant species, . Protect environmentally significant areas, . Enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitat, and . Enhance public recreational opportunities In addition, detailed plans have been completed for the Disposal Cell 1 area and include a Capping Proposal for the site, a Wetland Creation Plan and a detailed Environmental Monitoring Plan A key component of how this park functions, will be the quality of the park infrastructure including the park connections, park services, facilities, environmental programming and education, as well as the quality of the various park attributes. Detailed concepts and design directions are needed to build on the intent of the Master Plan and ensure that the park development is in keeping with current design standards This Park is a key element of the new waterfront revitalization highlighted in the Fung Report, the City's report Our Toronto Waterfront: Building Momentum and in achieving the targets within the Toronto Remedial Action Plan DETAILS OF THE WORK TO BE DONE The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is the lead agency for this project with respect to project direction, administration, and support. The University of Guelph will appoint a project manager who will supervise students, faculty, and direct the production of plans and designs as well as logistics of the overall project. Through a comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding the TRCA and the Landscape Research Group (University of Guelph) will work together to develop five principle products as follows . updated Master Plan presentation drawings, . the development of preliminary concepts for a Park Interpretive Centre, . park Gateway and Trail Design Standards, . a habitat design option for Disposal Cell Two, and . cooperative research on the biophysical resources of the site. The Landscape Research Group will use an ecosystem approach to all aspects of this project and consider the following planning and design issues 874 . biophysical context and ecological connections, . waterfront planning and city context; . public access and parking requirements, . program alternative/user group determination, . sustainable design policies (services, architecture), . social marketing, . economics, and . phasing The Landscape Research Group will conduct five principle areas of work with attention to the anticipated products The Development Of Detailed Concepts For A Park Interpretive Centre The TRCA envisions the Tommy Thompson Park Interpretive Centre as the "Keystone feature of the Park" The preliminary design of a multi-use facility that can house and provide formal and informal educational opportunities, engage the general public, speaks to the characteristics of the site, provides staff and monitoring offices, houses our environmental monitoring equipment (RN AQUALAB,& NIGHT HERON ETC) and demonstrates the concept of sustainability The Landscape Resource Group will develop a series of detailed concepts, and assist the TRCA in an evaluation process of the preferred Interpretive Centre concept/preliminary design Park Gateway And Trail Design Standards An integral component of the overall park is how well it connects to the broader community, the TRCA believes that the development of a Park Gateway is crucial in engaging the community and setting the expectations of a urban wilderness park. The Landscape Research Group will develop a series of park Gateway concepts for agency and public review Trail standards, and interpretive signage will provide the majority of the park users with the conduit into and overall understanding of the park. In keeping with the Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan and City of Toronto Trail Standards the Landscape Research Group will provide concepts on trails and signage that reflect and highlight the unique nature of the park. Habitat Design Option For Disposal Cell Two Building on the work to date around habitat designs within Cell One and Triangle Pond the Landscape Research Group will develop habitat design concepts for Disposal Cell 2. These designs must take into account sediment quality characteristics of the site, biophysical attributes, and help to improve local biodiversity A preferred concept plan will be selected through this process Updated Master Plan Drawings The Landscape Research Group will develop updated Master Plan drawings taking into account existing site conditions, existing and proposed habitat enhancement works, and preferred concepts determined by this project, all consistent with the approved Master Plan, 1992. 875 Cooperative Research On The Biophysical Resources Of The Site The TRCA would like to utilize the faculty and expertise at the University of Guelph to conduct biological research at the site that would further our understanding of existing conditions and direct proposed habitat restoration efforts Research could be directed at studies into fish & wildlife communities, physical conditions, botanical conditions and habitat management practices It is proposed that the University of Guelph would assist the TRCA through a TIP Advisory Group to review various concepts for the research and design work outlined above. RATIONALE Engaging the Landscape Research Group to assist the Authority in developing the details of the Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan has many benefits. Primarily the interaction with academia allows the TRCA access to the faculty and student resources of a leading Resource Management University This arrangement will provide the opportunity for TRCA staff development, promotion of TRCA expertise, and the timely development of detailed concept plans This work will assist the Authority in cultivating Tommy Thompson Park as a unique urban wilderness waterfront park in context of the renewed interest in the waterfront. The advantage of working with the Landscape Research Group is the TRCA's ability to participate with students and faculty in the Environmental Sciences, Geography, Architecture, Biology, and Education programs This contact and cooperation can direct the University in leading edge research of the biological conditions of Tommy Thompson Park and develop concept plans that are c~' 1sistent with Master Plan This research will provide powerful insight into the park and allow the integration of research results into the park design and facilities as we embark on a revitalized Toronto Waterfront. FINANCIAL DETAILS The total cost of this research and design partnership with the University of Guelph - Landscape Group including all fees, materials, and all other costs has an upset limit of $75,000 The TRCA proposes that this project would commence March 2001 and be completed in one full year Project Component Projected Cost The development of detailed concept for a park interpretive centre 15K Park gateway and trail design standards 10K A habitat design option for Disposal Cell Two 25K Updated Master Plan drawings 5K Cooperative research un the biophysical resources of the site 20K - TOTAL 75K 876 The project Terms of Reference will outline a payment schedule with subsequent payments based on the provision of certain deliverables to TRCA's satisfaction Funds are available in the waterfront capital Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan Budget Account 210-50 Report prepared by' Gord MacPherson, extension 5246 For information contact: Larry Field, extension 5243 Date.

T, bringing the total consultant contract cost to $53,800, excluding G S T " Shoreplan Engineering Limited has completed the coastal engineerin~ analysis and preliminary designs for the Port Union Study Phases I and II, as outlined in the original terms of reference. The terms of reference stated that final design drawings would be required only for the Phase I sector (Highland Creek easterly to Chesterton Shores) Since most of the shoreline in this sector was in public ownership, it was considered the higher priority for 877 immediate implementation and therefore final design/construction drawings would be required as part of this contract. The first extension to the Shoreplan contract has also been completed and this work related to addressing outstanding tasks required as part of the Environmental Assessment Act. The work completed included the design analyses to investigate an additional alternative concept design, and technical input to support the defensible methods process and review with the technical staff at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans on the Federal Screening Report under Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. RATIONALE The extension of the Shoreplan Engineering contract is recommended in order to maintain the overall design principles that have been developed for the Phase I sector Shoreplan has been involved with the public consultation and approvals process for this project and they can provide consistency and efficiency in incorporating information developed under the previous assignments This work will enable the Authority to obtain all approvals for the entire project in a timely manner DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The Consultant will complete the final engineering design and provide detailed construction drawings for the Phase /I work, that is, the sector from Chesterton Shores extending easterly to Rouge River In addition, the consultant will assist with the design of the coastal components of the wetland proposed for the mouth of Adams Creek as part of the fish compensation plan This additional new work :s required as part of the fish compensation components related to the final design and other regulatory approvals (i e.

Moved by Lorna Bissell Seconded by Michael Oi Biase That McQuest Marine Science Limited be retained to undertake a marine archaeological survey for the Port Union Waterfront Improvements Project at an upset limit of $15,000 plus GST CARRIED 878 BACKGROUND At its meeting #5/97 dated June 27, 1997, the Authority approved the Port Union Waterfront Improvements Project. Since that time the Authority has prepared an Environmental Assessment for the Project. The Port Union Environmental Assessment document was subject to a provincial and federal environmental assessment process. All stakeholders and relevant agencies were requested to provide comments on the adequacy of the Port Union Environmental Assessment document and propose possible Terms and Conditions for which the Project would be approved The Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation stated that they were satisfied with the Environmental Assessment document specifically the commitments made by the TRCA to undertake a cultural heritage resource assessment of areas to be impacted by this project, and to the mitigation of adverse impacts to any cultural heritage resources that are identified This assessment must be undertaken prior to construction taking place along the Port Union waterfront. Due to the historic significance of the Port Union community, efforts have been made to include background historical research regarding this community and attempts to identify and document any surviving land or marine features of this historic community (eg buildings, docks, shipwrecks) Staff have met with Ministry staff to further delineate a boundary for the cultural heritage resource assessment focussing specifically on the area where the wharf was located At the time of the Request for Proposals there was only one qualified marine archaeologist in the province, therefore the TRCA did not undertake to provide three bids as is normal procedure for a fee of this amount. McQuest Marine Sciences Limited will be undertaking a remote sensing survey and a side scan sonar of the Port Union area. The marine archaeology study would include underwater divers to ground truth any targets found using the remote sensing or side scan A bottom visual survey would also be undertaken An underwater archaeologist will assist with the data interpretation to identify any artifacts McQuest will also have a marine historian undertake an investigation of heritage resources near the old Johns Manville water intake structure. McQuest Marine Sciences Limited will work with the TRCA Archaeologist and the Coastal Ecology Unit to minimize expenses during the investigation FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for the marine archaeological investigation are available within the approved Port Union Waterfront Improvements Project budget in account 223 - 01 For Information contact: Nancy Gaffney, extension 5313 Date. January 19, 2001 RES.#B213/00 - LAMBTON GOLF CLUB Naturalization and Relocation of Black Creek Channel Award of Phase Two of a study related to the naturalization of the Black Creek Channel and providing stormwater quality improvements to flows on the Black Creek within the Lambton Golf Club 879 Moved by Michael Di Biase Seconded by Joan King THAT the firm of Dillon Consulting Ltd. be awarded Phase Two of the naturalization and water quality study, at an upset cost of $20,485, plus applicable taxes. CARRIED BACKGROUND At meeting #5, 2000, held on June 2, 2000, the Executive Committee adopted Resolution #B87/90 "THA T the firm of Dillon Consulting Ltd be awarded Phase One of the naturalization and water quality study, at an upset cost of $16,610 plus applicable taxes on the basis that the Lambton Golf Club has committed to the additional costs associated with the Dillon proposal" The Phase One study investigated the feasibility of removing the concrete channel and providing stormwater quality to the Black Creek flows prior to entering the Humber River within the Lambton Golf course. The original motivation for undertaking this study came from the Golf Course which is interested in removing the concrete channel and replacing it with a softer more natural watercourse feature, to improve the aesthetics and playability of their course. The existing concrete channel is owned and maintained by the Authority as part of flood control works constructed in the early 1960's The channel is located within a permanent easement through the Lambton Golf Course. The Authority in conjunction with the City of Toronto agreed to undertake the study in three phases with the understanding that our design concerns related to flooding and water quality were forefront in the process In the consultant selection process, all members of the Study team, which included, the City of Toronto, Black Creek Project, Lambton Golf Club and the TRCA ranked Dillon Consulting first. The significant overall cost differences between Dillon's proposal and that of Marshall Macklin Monaghan Ltd (MMM Ltd) led us to originally select MMM Ltd as the consultant to be awarded the study contract for phase one. The Lambton Golf course expressed concern related to this selection and in fact at their Board of Directors Meeting, held May 29, 2000 agreed to put forward funds to cover the difference in price between the consultants The first phase of the study looked at the feasibility of removing the concrete while maintaining the hydraulic benefits and the playability of the course. Numerous study team meetings were held to ensure that all parties involved in this study were aware of the consequences of the options being investigated The general findings were that the width of the flood channel through the course would need to triple in size to accommodate the hydraulics and several areas of the course would require modifications due to this wider channel In addition a large area of currently unused lands was investigated to provide water quality ponding for Black Creek flows and potentially to act as a source of water for use within the golf course. The findings of the first phase of the study were discussed with representatives of the course who subsequently brought them forward to the Board of Directors at a meeting held November 27, 2000 for discussion In a letter dated December 22,2000, the Lambton Golf and Country Club informed the Authority of its request that we proceed to Phase Two of the study based upon the Boards discussion and resolution This request is a recognition of the overall changes to the course that would be required with the removal of the concrete channel and a 880 willingness to move the study forward to investigate options to undertake these works FINANCIAL DETAILS The financing of this study will be split between the City of Toronto and the Authority, with the Lambton Golf Club paying for the difference in overall study costs above the low bid costs for each phase. The City of Toronto and the Authority agreed to an upset cost of $ 30,000 each The total estimated cost of the study, to be done in 3 phases, based on the Dillon proposal is $55,685 The cost is $16,500 higher than the lowest cost proposal submitted by Marshall Macklin Monaghan It is, therefore, estimated that the Lambton Golf Club will contribute $16,500 over the entire three phases of the study as noted below Dillon Consulting Phase One $16,610 Phase Two $20,485 Phase Three $18,590 Total Cost: $55,685 + Taxes The funds from the City of Toronto have been approved through City Council and transferred to the Authority The Authority's share along with the City funds are available in account 113-35 The Authority will invoice the Lambton Golf Club for their share of the costs for each phase. At this point, the study is addressing the technical aspects of removing the concrete channel and does not deal with any funding arrangements related to the capital funds required to undertake the works Once any design and technical feasibility aspects have been dealt with, discussions related to capital funding will be required For information contact: Don Haley, extension 5226 Date January 24, 2001 RES.#B214/00 - RETAINING CONSULTANTS - MIMICO WATERFRONT LINEAR PARK STUDY Approval to retain consultants to undertake the required coastal analysis and landscape design for the Mimico Waterfront Linear Park Study and environmental assessment. Moved by' Lorna Bissell Seconded by Michael Di Biase THAT Shoreplan Engineering Limited be retained to undertake the coastal analysis component of the Mimico Waterfront Linear Park Study and environmental assessment at an upset cost of $66,000 plus GST 881 Fisheries Act, such as data required for the Defensible Methods Protocol In addition, the Shoreplan proposal reflects the level of effort and upset limit of $70,000 identified in the Request for Proposal Shoreplan has committed to undertaking the coastal component of the environmental assessment for $66,000 resulting in cost savings to the Authority It is proposed that Paul Cosburn Associates Limited continue providing landscape services for the evaluation of the four design options and to assist the Authority with the integration of the City of Toronto public open space enhancements (i e.

To retain the services of a consultant to prepare designs to protect sanitary sewers and water mains, as well as allow fish passage upstream of seven in stream barriers on East Highland Creek in Morningside Park between Morningside Avenue and Ellesmere Avenue. Moved by Michael Di Biase Seconded by Joan King THAT the firm of Aquafor Beech Limited be retained to complete the designs for the mitigation of seven in stream barriers on East Highland Creek in Morningside Park at a total cost of $22,000 (excluding G.S T) CARRIED BACKGROUND The City of Toronto has numerous sanitary sewers and watermains crossing watercourses in the TRCA's jurisdiction, including East Highland Creek At the time of construction, armourstone drop structures were built to protect the sanitary sewers and watermains from the erosional forces of the river Over time, down cutting of the stream bed has led to the exposure of some sanitary sewers within Morningside Park and concerns others will soon be exposed These existing drop structures also prevent upstream fish movement for both migratory and resident species The Draft Highland Creek Fisheries Management Plan recommends the removal of barriers to allow fish passage and reduce habitat fragmentation 883 AND FURTHER THAT Paul Cosburn Associates be retained to undertake the landscape design components of the Mimico Waterfront Linear Park Study and environmental assessment at an upset cost of $10,000 plus GST CARRIED BACKGROUND At its meeting #4/99 dated April 30, 1999, the Authority approved the initiation of the Mimico Waterfront Linear Park Study with resolution #A 119/99' "that the staff proceed with the 1999 work program for the Mimico Apartment Strip Waterfront Access/Trail in coordination with the City of Toronto representatives and the community" Since that time Authority staff have undertaken a public consultation process to prepare a Terms of Reference for an environmental assessment to be completed for this project. Through the preparation of the Environmental Assessment Terms of Reference, four design options have been developed To assist in the evaluation of each of these design options a coastal analysis must be undertaken The work program for this study will be divided into two phases. Phase I will be comprised of the coastal analysis and preparation of a study design report summarizing the technical evaluation of the four concept options for the shoreline improvements This report will assist the Authority in the preparation of an environmental assessment. Upon receiving Environmental Assessment approval, Phase II will include detailed design of the preferred concept for the shoreline works A Request for Proposal was sent out to two consulting firms, with an upset limit of $70,000 The firms invited to submit proposals are Shoreplan Engineering Ltd. and W F Baird and Associates Coastal Engineers Ltd. Currently there are only two known coastal consulting firms available with the expertise for this scope of work. Staff have reviewed each proposal and have evaluated the proposals against the criteria established in the Request for Proposals Shoreplan Engineering Limited $ 66,000 (excluding GST) W F Baird and Associates Coastal Engineers Ltd $ 70,029 (excluding GST) Landscape design is also required for the Mimico Waterfront Linear Park. Paul Cosburn Associates Limited was retained by the Authority to produce preliminary landscape design options to assist with the public consultation and preparation of the Environmental Assessment Terms of Reference. Four design options were presented to the many stakeholders and members of the public and it was agreed that the four design options represented the range and scale of options appropriate to the Mimico Waterfront. RATIONALE Shoreplan Engineering Lirnited was selected based on evaluation criteria developed by the TRCA. Some of the components included overall understanding of the Request for Proposal, the ability to meet the TRCA timelines, the approach to the coastal analysis, the evaluation of design options using coastal criteria, and the work details undertaken by senior consultants Shoreplan has also recently undertaken waterfront projects in the South Etobicoke area and are very familiar with the Mimico study area and the Toronto waterfront in general Shoreplan will also assist the TRCA by providing information required for authorization under the Federal 882 The development of these designs is a partnership between the Authority and the City of Toronto A steering committee comprised of representatives from these groups developed a terms of reference for the hiring of a consultant to prepare a final design for reconstructing these barriers to protect the buried infrastructure while allowing fish passage.
