The adoption of the Plan is in compliance with the direction of the Conservation Authorities Act to undertake a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources and of the Province of Ontario to study and i nvestiga te the watershed and prepare and file with its member municipalities and the Minister of Natural Resources, a Watershed Plan. The Watershed Plan has been filed with, and concurred in by, the Authority's member municipalites and the Director, Central Region, Ministry of Natural Resources. The Authority, in the Plan, has identi fied the ri ver valleys, the Lake Ontario shoreline and the headwaters of the Oak Ridges interlobate moraine and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to which its programs are applied. The Watershed Plan is comprised of nine (9) interrelated programs The basic requirement of the Authority is to provide protection to human life and property from the hazards of flooding and erosion The Flood Control Program and three complementary programs, Erosion and Sediment Control, Storm Water Management and Conservation Land Management, es tabU sh the means to accomplish this objective and recognize the relationships between rural and urban drainage, erosion and sedimentation, and fl ood i ng . Flood Control Program - Provides for remedial measures, land acquisition and the administration of regulatory measures to maintain flood plains unobstructed to ensure the passage of flood fl ows . Erosion and Sediment Control Program - Provides for corrective works and the administration of regulatory measures to protect life and property.

The Authority's objective in adopting this project is to use acquisition, where necessary as a method of protecting hazard and conservation land against use which would affect the ability of the land to perform its natural functions; to acquire land for flood control, erosion centrol, bank stabilization or shoreline management works; and/or to conserve environmentally significant and/or sensitive land for the benefit of the people of the region This project is necessary to enable the Authority to continue to acquire parcels of land as they become available or specific parcels required for remedial works within Metropolitan Toronto and the Regional Municipalities of Peel, York and Durham. The Land Acquisition Program recognizes as suitable for acquisition (a) those hazard lands which are defined as being flooded by the Regional Storm ; (b) those lands which, due to physical hazards of slope instability and/or unstable soils, are not suitable for development; (c) those conservation lands of an environmentally significant and/or sensitive natural character which are best managed by a public agency to retain their natural characteristics and functions. A-l05 -2- LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION Since its inception in 1957, the Authority has pursued a comprehensive water and related land managment program including, as one component, the acquisition of hazard and conservation lands. The acquisition component has resulted in public ownership of significant stretches of the valley systems and the Lake Ontario waterfront, ensuring their long term protection from unwise use. An important ancillary benefit has been the creation of opportunities for public use of these lands and their function as the backbone of the regional open space system. The property acquired prior to 1961 and subsequently under the "Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation", the "Interim Water and Related Land Management Project", and under the Waterfront Projects 1972-1976 and 1977-1981, and under the Land Acquisition Project and Addendum 1982-1986, represents approximately 7,054 hectares of flood plain and conservation land and 173 hectares of waterfront hazard land These Authority owned lands are identified in Tables 1 and 2 " A-I06 TABLE 1 AUTHORITY OWNED FLOOD PLAIN AND CONSERVATION LAND WATERSHED HECTARES Etobicoke 189 Mimico 38 Humber (including Black Creek) 3,482 Don 821' Highland (including Centennial Creek) 386 Rouge 965 Petticoat Creek 81 Duffins .hQll TOTAL 7,054 - TABLE 2 AUTHORITY OWNED WATERFRONT HAZARD LAND SECTOR HECTARES Etobicoke 6 City of Toronto 9 Scarborough 107 Pickering/Ajax 51 TOTAL l73 - March, 1986 A-l07 -3- Urban development in an area like the Metropolitan Toronto region poses an increasing threat to the naturally significant and environmentally sensitive areas that remain Of prime concern to the Authority are the valleys of the major river systems and the waterfront. These areas comprise about 16,250 hectares, as compared with the almost 260,000 hectares under the Authority's jurisdiction or approx. 6% of the total land area These open areas are important, not only for fulfilling their natural function of passing and storing flood waters, but also for the important natural open space they provide for the surrounding urban community The community's interest in conserving significant valleys has become more apparent as a result of the action of residents and interest groups in supporting the retention of these lands in their natural state and through the current efforts of many municipalities to designate the valleys as permanent open space. The Authority is of the opinion that, even with an effective development control program using Authority regulations under The Conservation Authorities Act and municipal zoning restrictions, it is essential that the option be retained for the public acquisition of hazard and conservation land Regulation itself, will not entirely control the continuing development pressure on privately owned lands. Furthermore, this pressure is likely to increase in the future as developable land decreases Public ownership ensures that use of the~hazard and conservation land is in conformity with the objectives of the Authority, its municipalities and the Province of Ontario. Public acquisition can give the required control over urban expansion onto hazardous and sensitive areas. In defining areas as suitable for acquisition, the Authority is establishing a framework wherein it cay buy land. Individual properties must be considered in the light of a number of factors, including, but not limited to: - the costs involved both for purchase and long term management: - the alternative of successfully controlling the land use through regulation either by the Authority, the municipality or the Province: - the significance of the role that the land, once acquired, will play in water management: - the significance of the role that the land will play in providing other ancillary benefits such as open space. A-I08 . -4- Certain public and private uses of hazard and conservation lands are compatible with Authority objectives. Golf courses, cemetaries and agriculture are some examples. The inclusion of these lands within Authority acquisition limits is to establish Authority interests In the event that such lands cease to be used for their present purpose, each parcel would be considered on its own merits, with acquisition being an option available. The Land Acquisition program establishes the framework within which the Authority acquires hazard and conservation lands. Other programs, notably the Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program and the Watershed Recreation Program, can also make provision for the acquisition of lands necessary to fulfill specific park and open space objectives, if required. This three year project is the means by which the Land Acquisition Program is implemented over a defined period of time. Hazard lands are those lands susceptible to a specified risk, be it flood or erosion. Conservation lands are significant or sensitive areas requiring public protection in order to retain their natural character and/or water related function. As identified more fully in the Land Acquisition Program, hazard lands are defined by the following criteria (a) those lands defined by the flood plain of the Regional Storm generally draining in excess of 1300 hectares. (b) those lands along the waterfront defined by the 100 year flood level plus wave uprush. (c) those lands along the river valleys generally draining in excess of 1300 hectares or along the waterfront which due to hazards or unstable slopes or soils make them undevelopable or untenable if already developed. Conservation Lands are located within the following limits (a) those significant valley lands, generally draining in excess of 1300 hectares and waterfront lands which warrant conservation These lands generally lie between the flood limit and the top of bank. (b) those lands, which are environmentally sensitive, that abut or lie within a valley, the waterfront or are part of a headwater zone, and should not be altered. A-109 -5- Detailed criteria dealing with the definition of environmentally significant and sensitive areas have been prepared by the Authority and are set out in the Land Acquisition Program. These criteria serve as the basis for the Authority's involvement in the acquisition of these lands. The alternatives to acquiring these conservation lands, whether they be significant and/or environmentally sensitive, are difficult to assess. Each acquisition must be judged on its particular merits as to the importance of retaining its character or allowing its destruction or partial alteration. The areas defined in the Program must be looked on as areas of high potential which should have full consideration by the responsible political jurisdictions. Certainly the cost and amount of funding allocated will be a major determinant in this area of acquisition. Based on the criteria previously defined, Table 3 and Figure 1 identify the extant of hazard and conservation lands suitable for acquisition by the Authority under its Land Acquisition Program and replaces the former "Master Plan for the Acquisition of Flood Plain and Conservation Land" Figure 2 represents the present Authority ownership as previously detailed in Tables 1 and 2. ~ As a result of additional studies, consideration will be given to the inclusion of other lands within this program if they are deemed to meet the hazard or conservation land criteria. This project identifies the lands which the Authority considers suitable for acquisition. Individual properties will be considered on a site by site basis as they become available on the market and subject to the availability of funds. Certain general criteria are considered in the determination of acquisition properties, including: (a) the degree of hazard that exists to life, structures or propertY1 (b) the timing of an alteration in land use or a potential development1 (cl the ability of regulatory agencies to control the change in land use 1 (dl the ancillary role that the land might have, such as part or an open space system. Generally, priorities exist in areas which are hazardous; in those locations where urbanization is beginning1 and, where potential problems can be eliminated early, thereby avoiding costly expenditures later on A-1l0 -6- Once land has been acquired, it is managed in accordance with policies discussed in the Conservation Land Management Program. The use and management of Authority owned land will be governed by criteria adopted by the Authority as they affect flooding, erosion and wise land use. Tne Autnority's acquisition limits are based on physical characteristics not on property boundaries. Where it is necessary for the Authority to acquire a parcel of land, part of which is outside its acquisition limits, the feasibility of severing the surplus lands will be considered on a site specific basis. Where lands are acquired within urbanized areas of the Authority's jurisdiction, special management problems may exist due to the proximity of development. The Authority's ability to maintain property is severely constrained where it is not revenue producing. Tnerefore, consistent with practice, the Authority will encourage municipalities to assume the management of hazard and conservation land within the urban areas.

The preservation of environmentally significant and sensitive areas are also of benefit to the people of the entire region and will contribute positively to the quality of life for generations to come Therefore, the Authority proposes that the five year Land AcquiSition Project 1987-1991 be a generally benefiting project with all member municipalities contributing to the Authority's share based on equalized assessment The total cost of the five year project is $2,500,000 as shown above. The annual funding requirement will be $500,000 and will be raised as follows Authority - $225,000 Province of Ontario - $275,000 TOTAL - $500,000 The Authority's share represents 45% of the total where the Province of Ontario will contribute 55% of the total funds. Each municipality's share 0 will be based on the discounted equalized assessment for the year of acquisition. The municipal share based on the 1986 equalized assessment values will be as shown on Table 4. These values will vary slightly over the 5 year period as the equalized assessment values change.

The principles established by the Niagara Escarpment Plan and applying to the acquisition' of lands for public parks are i) Acquisition of lands will occur only where necessary to consolidate and complete the land base for parks identified as part of the Niagara Escarpment Parks System in the Niagara Escarpment Plan. ii) Only lands within the boundary of the approved Niagara Escarpment Plan can be considered for acquisition under this program. Hi) Acquisition of lands for the Bruce Trail may occur where other means of securing continued public access to the existing trail or of creating an improved route are not possible. iv') Core properties in areas identified as suitable for acqui si ti on are the fi rst pri od ty. . v) Acquisition will occur only where landowners are willing to sell, donate, or otherwise enter an acquisition agreement. vi) Outright acquisitions will occur at an appraised market value. vii ) Methods of acquiring property other than outright purchase may be used (e.g , special agreement, easement or donation). viii) Surplus lands may be sold or exchanged for lands having a higher suitability for acquisition. Property will be acquired through 100% funding from the Provincial Niagara Escarpment Fund administered by the Ontario Heritage Foundation and may be supplemented by municipal contributions, donations or funds from the private sector and by donations of land. A-llS - 2 - LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (MTRCA) has taken an active role in input and comment to the preparation of a Plan for the Niagara Escarpment since the 1967 Select Committee on Conservation Authorities recommended that the Province on Ontario develop a D10ng range policy and comprehensive development p1anD for this outstanding natural feature. The objective of public ownership of portions of the Escarpment has formed a part of all recommendations made both by the MTRCA and by the numerous studies and plan proposals prepared by the Province. The MTRCA, in 1970, submitted to the Province an identification of lands suitable for acquisition and which should be eligible for the, then available, 75% grants for Niagara Escarpment acqui si ti ons. As of December 1977, the Authority had acquired approximately 1,775 acres of land within the Niagara Escarpment Planning Area, as follows 595 acres - Humber Forest and under forest management agreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources 752 acres - Glen Haffy Conservation Area (purchased prior to .. 1970) 176 acres - Pa1grave Forest and Wildlife Area 252 acres - Niagara Escarpment lands. In 1979, the Proposed Plan for the Niagara Escarpment was circulated and prior to finalizing the Plan in 1983 the Authority was requested to revi ew its current land ownershi p wi thi n the Planning Area and to identify any areas which should be considered as suitable for acquisition as part of the proposed Niagara Escarpment Park System. Three areas where identified based on the following considerations: ( a) the Authority had, in draft, an ESA study which identified a number of areas within the Niagara Escarpment Plan boundaries. The use of these lands as part of the Park system could be limited by the environmental characteristics of the site. A-1l9 - 3 - (b) certain ESA sites, on private lands, where no change in use is proposed, may best be managed by the private owner with assistance through the Authority's conservation services program. ( c) acquisition of additional lands add to the Authority's management costs particularly where these lands are remote from large blocks currently under management (d) the lands within the Niagara Escarpment Plan are subject to development controls by the Commission and, within Authority juri sdi cti on, are not currently being considered for major land use change The three areas recommended for consideration were: 1. the lands adjacent to the Authority's existing Humber Forest property in the Town of Caledon These lands include ESA Site 41, referred to as the Sleswick Complex. The Authori ty 's lands are currently under a f~rest management agreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources. This area is a headwater wetland to the Humber Riv~r and should be protectee from major land use change. 2. the lands surrounding ESA site 43 (Canada Company Forest) in the Township of Mono The ESA Site is a high quality source area for the Humber River and consists of a mature sugar Maple/American Beech forest. These lands could be considered as a link in the Niagara Escarpment Park System and, if deemed suitable for acquisition, should include sufficient buffer area to protect the ESA 3. the lands adjacent to the Glen Haffy Forest and Wildlife Area. These lands include parts of ESA Site 40, the Caledon Hi lls Complex. Mature and mature-mixed forests dominate this area whi ch is characteri zed by rolli ng topography wi th wetlands and swamps in the valley lands, source areas for the Humber River This area is part of the largest ESA identified by Authority staff. Thi s i n'formati on was forwarded to the Ni agara Escarpment Commission for consideration. A-l20 - 4 - In June, 1984 Cabinet endorsed a long-term program of acquisition and the final Niagara Escarpment Plan, approved in 1985, includes a program of land acquisition and stewardship. The program is a joint venture of the Ministries of Nautra1 Resources, Citizenship and Culture, and Municipal Affairs. Included as key participants are the seven Conservation Authorities within the Plan area. The Ministry of Natural Resources has been designated responsibility for coordinating the Niagara Escarpment Parks System, including land required to protect a route for the Bruce Trail. The Ministry will establish and maintain priority listings of properties suitable for acquisition through consultation with the Conservation Authorities, the Bruce Trail Association, the Niagara Parks Commission, and other agencies as required. To date, the Ministry and the Conservation Authorities have developed long-term and annual (1985-86) priority lists of their land acquisition intentions. Of the three areas recommended by the MTRCA in 1983, the proposed Niagara Escarpment Park System includes those lands associated with the Glen Haffy Forest and wildlife Area and comprising ~ 936 HA (2311 acres) These lands are identified on the map included in this projec~ and include all, or part, of 52 individual land holdings adjacent to the Authority's existing Glen Haffy Forest and Wildlife Area. In discussions with the Ministry of Natural Resources, it has been agreed that, under their current ownership and management there is no immediate requirement to purchase the lands around the existing Glen Haffy property. However, their long-term suitability for inclusion in the Niagara Escarpment Parks System should be recognized To ensure that funding can be made available for purchase, if required, or donations of land accepted, it is necessary for the Authority to adopt a project defining its area of interest I A-l2l - 5 - COSTS AND FINA~CING The costs associated with this project include land acquisiton, legal and survey fees, demoliton, property clean-up and interest. A preliminary estimate of the acquisition costs is $4,622,000 Funding for the project will be lOO% from the provincial Niagara Escarpment Fund administered by the Ontario Heritage Foundation. All claims associated with acquisition will be submitted to the Foundation via the Ministry of Natural Resources. Title of the property will normally be held by the managing agency, the Authority.

Introduction and History The Humber Arboretum officially came into being in September of 1977 with the signing of a four party management agreement {see attached). The Arboretum opened its first phase in the fall of 1982. This . culminated many months of fund raising and planning and was also the beginning of phase two in the development of this rapidly expanding project. Since that time, the Management Committee and staff have focussed their attention en the following activities. fund raising, planning and construction, the Demonstration Gardens, dev~loping and managing a robust nature studies program and various associated - activities and seminars, developing and managing Metro's most comprehensive wild flower garden, and responding to industry's needs for specific programs, and most recently to developing a program of working with volunteers to assist in the day-to-day activities of the Arboretum. - ..2 - 2 - The Demonstration Gardens This year's activity however, will be primarily focussed on the , Demonstration Gardens. The Demonstration Gardens will be officially " opened at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 26, 1986. This intensively planted area consists of the following: aU-shaped trellised 'tlalkway off of which runs the major Demonstration Gardens: - a young family garden complete with its own mini playground - an expensive townhouse garden - an inexpensive townhouse garden - a horticultural hobbyist's garden - an expensive balcony garden - an inexpensive balcony garden - a climbing rose collection - a hedge collection - various landscape features i.e. - ground cover displays - demonstration parking lot - a demonstration of salt tolerant s h ru b s In order to have this project ready for opening, there is still some work to be done, i.e.: - complete the parking lot entrance off of the Arboretum Boulevard - - planting the parking lot . .3 - 3 - - plant a row of flowering eastern red buds (Arcis canadensis) between the trellis structure and the sidewalk on Hwy 27 - plant a row of pyramidal lindens (Tilia cordata 'Greenspire') all around the inside of the trellis structure - plant a vine at each trellis pillar - other various minor landscape plantings to complete the project - the construction of a maintenance building - construction of a new college/arboretum sign The work to complete this project has been scheduled to be completed by June 15. To date, all work projects are on schedule as planned. All labour involved in this project has been supplied by our own staff, landscape students and Federal Program employees (Seed and U.I38). Funding for the project has been made possible through grants from the Dunington-Grubb Foundation~ Wintario, Etobicoke, and Metro support for a total of approximately $50~,OOO.00 plus some labour. Future Development The next two years, hopefully, will see the completion of the area ..4 - 4 - adjacent to Hwy 27. Next year the Arboretum will begin to develop six more Demonstration Gardens in the valley immediately below (to the south) the existing Demonstration Gardens. At the same time, we will be raising funds to~construct an information centre approximately (4,500 square feet) on the site of the old farm house. We anticipate being able to construct this within the next year or two as funds become available. Summary The development of this project has been and is challenging, exciting and not without its difficulties. Satisfaction both for the visitor and the staff will continue to grow as the trees and shrubs begin to mature and do the job they were placed there to do. Visitors to the Arboretum are steadily increasing. This year's anticipated attendance in programs is expected to be between eight and ten thousand people of all ages, with fnterestscatered to by the many diverse areas within the completed aspects of the project. It is our hope that this project will be a credit to its supporting agencies and will become one of Ontario's major horticultural - attractions.

This Plan was in conformity with the Authority's m~ndate as defined by the Conservation Authorities Act, R.S O. 1980, c.as, s.20: .to establish and undertake, in the area over which it has jurisdiction, a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources other than gas, oil, coal and minerals.. , The preparation of a Plan was, further, in conformi ty wi th the di recti on of the 1979 "Report of the ';.lork i ng Group on the Mandate and Role of Cosnervation Authorities. to .study and investigate the Watershed and prepare and file with its member municipalities and the Minister of Natural Resources, a Watershed Plan.. In adopting the Watershed Plan, to coromence implementation in 1981, the Authority identified a need to annually review program progress and to ensure the Plan remained responsive to changing community resource management needs through a regular five-year review and update. The Plan has guided Authority work over the past five years and has been implemented through the adoption of specific projects and thrcugh the approval of annual budget allocati ons. In addition to its normal year-end financial review, the Authority has annually reviewed its progress in achieving the adopted Plan goals and objectives. This review has enabled an analysis of the accomplishments and the obstacles to progress specific to each program area. It has also identified those program areas where refinements are required to reflect the changing role of the Authority. The 1986 Watershed Plan incorporates the experience of the past five years of progra~ implementation while retaining the basi c principles acopted in the 1980 Plan. The original Plan and its ten program documents will continue to provide background material and detailed information specific to the Authority's work and, as in the past five years, will be supplemented by up-to-date technical studies and operating criteria. while this material must be continually maintained to reflect advances in technology, changes in funding priorities and formula and the evolving role of the Authority in natural resource management, the goals and objectives should remain valid over the next five year period of implementati on. - 1 - The 1986 Watershed Plan continues as a comprehensive statement of the Authority's goals and objectives for the .conservation, restoration, development and management" of the renewable natural resources within its area of jurisdiction. The separation of goals and objectives into programs permits their implementation as management units and assigns accountability to specific program managers. No single program should, however, be totally divided from the remainder. Each program is complementary to the others anc individual program implementation occurs within the context of the overall Plan. While the separation of conservation activities into programs is a convenient mechanism for study, ev~luation and management of resources, the Watershed Plan represents the total package of resource management objectives which the Authority undertakes to achieve within the broader context of the planning and management responsibilities of its member municipalities and the Province of Ontario - 2 - FLOOD CONTROL PROGR~~ Flood plain managem~nt is the planning and implementation of measures intended to balance the needs of nature for flood water conveyance and flood storage with the demands of the community for use of the valley system. The Authority, through its Flood Control Program, will continue to implement comprehensive flood plain management including the construction of protective works, the acquisition of flood plain lands (see Land Acquisition Program) , and the application of regulations adopted under The Conservation Authorities Act. It is the GOAL of the Authorit~ts Flood Control Program TO UNDERTAKE A COMPREHENSIVE PROuRh~ OF FLOOD CONTROL DESIGNED TO PREVENT, ELHIINATE, OR REDUCE THE RISK OF HAZARD TO LIFE AND PROPERTY, WHILE RECOGNIZING THE VALUE OF RETAINING THE NATURAL ATTRIBUTES OF THE VALLEY SYSTEM. In order to achieve this goal, the Authority has established the following objectives **(a) to regulate land develDpment in and abutting the floodplains in accordance with regulations approved under the Conservation Authorities Act, dealing with the placing of fill, construction, and alterations to waterways, and to administer the regulations on the basis of policies and criteria devised to ensure the control of flooding through provision for the safe passage of flood waters, protection of existing, natural flood storage areas and prevention of development occurring where there is a risk of property damage or loss of life ( b) to ensure the recognition of flood hazard in municipal land use planning documents and the adoption of appropriate land use designations and controls under the Planning Act through participation in the municipal plan input and re',iew process. **(c) to have regard for the objectives and requirements of municipal and provincial agencies in the development and implementation of floodplain management policies. (d) to inform the private and public sectors of the Authority's regulations and policies affecting flood control and to provide flood hazard information to assist in the preparation of land use proposals. ,., - 3 - (e) to recognize as suitable for acquisition those lands which are susceptible to flooding under the regional storm and to acquire, within this category, such lands as may be necessa~l in order to have maximum control over their ability to safely accommodate flood flows, to protect available flood scorage and where necessary, to construct remedial works (f) to forecast flood events based on information received through an up-to-date data gathering system and to rapidly disseminate flood hazard status reports to concerned agencies through a flood warning communications network. **(g) to assist municipalities in developing and maintaining flood emergency plans **(h) to establish priorities and implement remedial flood damage reduction measures in defined flood damage centres and for flood vulnerable areas based on an evaluation of potential risk to life and property (i) to recognize the value of the natural valley system in the design and construction of all protective works and to maintain the natural character of the valley, where feasible. ( j ) to provide up-to-date hydrologic, hydraulic and mapped information for use in the design and operation of Authority, municipal and private water management measures and to incorporate improved technologies as they become available. (k) to operate and maintain all water control structures in order to ensure they continue to provide the level of protection for which they were designed. CCMMENTS The changes proposed (**) have been made for the following reasons: 0 - Objective (a) has been expanded to include the rationale for Authority regulation of flood hazard lands - Objective (c) has been added to recognize the direction of Provincial Flood Plain Management policy and the Authority's current practice in dealing .~th municipal and provincial agencies. - 4 - - Objective (g) has been added to recognize the Authority's role in planning for flood emergencies and its current practice in working with watershed municipalities. - Objective (h) has been expanded to include .flood, vulnerable areas. to permit the Authority to provide remedial works where warranted and funded. . - - 5 - EROSION CONTROL PROGRAM The Authority will continue to implement a program designed to minimize the aggravation or creation of erosion problems through a combination of preventative and protective measures. Erosion is a n~turally occurring physical process, ho',,;'ever, the changes induced by man's activities can result in significant acceleration. The Authority will attempt to prevent the development of future problems and, where a hazard currently exists, may provide protective works or acquire endangered property (see Land Acquisition Program) It is the GOAL of the Authority's Erosion Control Program ** TO MINIMIZE THE HAZARDS TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT RESULT FROM EROSION OF RIVER BANKS, VALLEY WALLS AND SHORELINES WHILE RECOGNIZING THE VALUE OF RETAINING THE NATURAL ATTRIBUTES OF THE VALLEY ,~D LAKEFRONT SETTINGS. In order to achieve this goal, the following objectives have been ident:ified ( a) to regulate land development in areas susceptible to erosion hazard in accordance with regulations approved under the Conservation Authorities Act and to administer the regulations on the basis of policies and criteria devised to minimize the risk to life and property from potential erosion hazard in defined erosion impact zones (b) to encourage the recognition of erosion hazard in municipal land use planning documents and the adoption of appropriate development controls under the Planning Act through participation in the municipal plan input and review process. (e) to seek the co-operation of local and regional municipalities and the private sector in preparing erosion-sediment control plans as a condition of development approval. U(d) to inform the private and public sectors of the Authority's regulations and policies affecting erosion control. **(e) to establish priorities and implement remedial works based on an evaluation of potential risk to life and property: significant loss of land and vegetation: and/or adverse impacts on waterways. - 6 - (f) to design remedial works, on a design block basis, as part of an integrated management system for the entire watercourse or shoreline which will limit erosion, enable public access, if feasible, and be conducive to maintenance. **(g) to use acquisition as a remedial measure, where appropriate. (h) to cooperate with municipalities, other government agencies, and private owners in establishing criteria for their erosion co~trol works whi ch wi 11 be consi stent wi th the Authori ty , s erosion control policy (i) to protect and enhance natural veg~tation, water quaii t;y, and the natural valley and shoreline character in the design of remedial measures, wherever feasible (j) to maintain all erosion remedial structures in order to ensure they continue to provide the protection for which they were designed. COMMENTS The changes proposed (**) have. been made for the followi og reasons: - The p~ogram GOAL has been amended to combine the erosion control components from the previous Erosion and Sediment Control and Shoreline Management Programs. This amalgamation recognizes the similarity in objectives and wort performed, the fundi ng practices of the Province and that the Authority's organization structure g~oups these efforts into one management unit. The Authority's sediment control objectives are now comuined in the Conservation Land Management Program. - Objective (c!) has been added to recognize the responsibility and practi ce of the Authority with respect to communicating such information. - Objective (e) has been expanded to clarify the criteria for establishing priorities for the implementation of remedial measures. - Objective (g) has been added to recognize the current practice of the Authority and to clari fy that acquisition may be a valid method of addressing erosion problems. - 7 - STORMWATER ~~AGEMENT PROGRAM Storm water management may be defined as the planning, analysis and control of storm water runoff to achieve specified objectives In the past, the objective for handling storm drainage was to remove the surface water from developed areas as quickly as possible. While such practice ensured local convenience, it increasingly resulted in downstream flooding and erosion and thus the need for remedial works programs. The objective of storm water management, on the other hand, is to control storm water in upstream areas near its source and to regulate its discharge to the watercourses so as to minimize or prevent adverse impacts. The Authority recognizes that sound storm water management can only be achieved through municipal/Authority cooperation. The Authority's Storm Water Management Program reflects this need and presents the preparation of urban drainage plans as a formal means by which such cooperation may be achieved It is the GOAL of the Authority's Stormwater Management program ** TO PROMOTE A COMPREHENSIVE WATERSHED MA~AGE~ENT APPROACH TO URBANIZATION THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE AUTHORITY'S OBJECTIVES FOR FLOOD AND EROSION HAZARD REDUCTION AND THE CONSERVATION OF VALLEYLANDS AND ENVIRONME~TAL RESOURCES. To achieve this goal, the following objectives have been defined (a) to ensure the inclusion of policies for stormwater management in municipal planning documents and the requirement for implemen~ing drainage schemes through participation in ~e municipal plan input and review process. **(b) to develop ur~an drainage plans for each of the nine watersheds within the Authority's jurisdiction (c) to provide assistance to local municipalities in the preparation of their drainage plans, programs and policies. (d) to encourage the use of stormwater management practices that are practical, beneficial and which take into account environmental, safety, and aesthetic considerations. **(e) to coordinate the objectives of other agencies having policies and programs specific to urban drainage. - 8 - COMMENTS The changes proposed ('* '* l have been made for the following reasons: - The program Goal has been amended to clarify the Authority's role and to recognize the experience of the first five years of implementing this program. - Objective (b) has been added to clarify the Authority's role with respect to its watersheds and its responsibility to establish overall plans which will guide and assist subsequent detailed schemes at the municipal level - Objective {el has been added to recognize the role of the Authori ty as the watershed agency coordinating urban drainage interests - 9 - CONSERVATION LAND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM The Authority will continue to manage its lands to exemplify sound reforestation, fish and wildlife, and soil conservation practices, and to provide assistance to public and private landowners in the planning and management of their lands to accomplish similar resource managem&nt objectives It is the GOAL of the Authority's Conservation Land Management Program ** TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE QUALITY OF LAND M~D WATER RESOURCES THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM OF CONSERVATION LAND MANAGEMENT INCLUDING VEGETATION MANAGEMENT, .WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT, FISHERIES IMPROVEMENT, SOURCE AREA PROTECTION, SEDIMENT CONTROL, WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT, AND CONSERVATION LAND PLANNING.

W T Foster W A McLean Cha~rman Secretary-Treasurer KC A-162 SCHEDULE "A" TO Chairman and Members of the Authority, -M.T.R.C.A. 16/86, September 5, 1986 FROM W. A. McLean, General Manager RE PROGRESS REPORT May to August, 1986 During the past four months of this year, progress has been made towards the achievement of Authority goals in a number of program areas as follows FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION Head Office renovations have been progressing well and on schedule. The renovations include the upgrading of the men's and women's washrooms in the immediate vicinity of the main lobby for handicapped persons, the provision for a first aid room, introduction of central filing and a work station panel system. As these renovations do not provide ~dditional space for staff nor do they satisfy our increasing storage requirements, the Authority has acquired three portable buildings in order to alleviate these concerns and to provide a workshop and storage area at the Albion Hills Field Centre. The Authority conducted its first annual staff orientation watershed tour in June. This one-day tour was a great success and it helped new employees familiarize themselves wi~h the Authority's programs, goals and objectives. In addition to the tour, new employees will be introduced to the Auth~rity works through a staff orientation slide presentation which is now complete and in effect. LAND ACQUISITION There have been a number of small parcel acquisitions recently to name a few - Croatian Estates Limited, 498 acres in the City of Etobicoke; Di Domenico Property, 1.159 acres in the Town of Richmond Hill and Salamin Property, .586 acres in the City of Mississauga. A Hearing of Necessity on the Torvalley property in the Borough of East York{Brickworks) is complete and we are now awaiting the Hearing Officer's Report. The Authority has been advised of a delay in the planning study being done by the Ministry of Government Services with respect to the Ontario Psychiatric Hospital in the City of Etobicoke This property is yet to be transferred to us but the Authority has expressed its concern of the delay to the Minister. The Authority has called for proposals for the sale of 0.409 acres of land which fronts on the east side of the Ninth Line and 30 acres which fronts on the west side of the Ninth Line in the City of Brampton. A recommendation for its disposal to All Borough Properties Limited, in trust, at a sum of $717,652.40 is being considered by the Authority. PROGRAM SERVICES Swimming quality at the Albion Hills Conservation Area was significantly improved by the installation of a 14. building and 140. curtain. The building houses the chlorination injection system and recirculation pump system which chl~rinated the swimming area water within the curtained- off area. The length of beach (150m) has not changed since the installation of the curtain and the swimming/beach area can accommodate approximately 2,000 bathers at one time or 4,000-5,000 bathers per day. A-163 - 2 - The Cold Creek Rifle Range is in operation and grading, safety baffle, backstop, target stands and sand safety traps are 95~ complete In March of 1986, all the terms of an agreement which the Authority had entered into with Sunshine Beach Vater Park Ltd.. for the development and operation of a water park at the Claireville Conservation Area in the City of Brampton were met and construction began. Development of the 20 hectare site which has been leased to Sunshine Beach Water Park Ltd , was completed in late July and the park opened its gates to the public on Friday, July 25, 1986. To date, preliminary attendance figures show that approximately 50,000 people visited Sunshine Beach Water Park in its first four weeks of operation. Sunshine Beach Water Park Ltd., is the result of a new approach the Authority has taken to provide water recreation opportunities on its lands using private capital and management for the development and operation of the site. The Authority will share in the revenues which will help support the overall recreation program of the Authority A trial equestrian progra. at the Kortright Centre for Conservation was conducted this summer to determine its feasibility as a permanent part of the program. FIELD OPERATIONS The Authority held its annual lifeguard competition on August 18, 1986 at the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area with the Heart Lake team emerging the winner. There has been an overall increase 1n revenues at Conservation Areas of $73,946 (8 2~) from 1985 to 1986. Overall attendance, however, has declined slightly (1.4~) from 1985 The following chart details the exact numbers for each Conservation Area to the weekend of August 24th, 1986 Albion Hills 108,476 109,640 Boyd 73,345 72,352 Bruce's Mill 123,104 117,511 Clairevi11e 45,324 66,705 Co1 d Creek 31,652 29,676 Glen Haffy 44,874 47,546 Greenwood 53,871 51,832 Heart Lake 66.751 57,176 Indian Line 50,186 46,998 Pal grave 6,801 6,298 Petticoat Creek 99,866 111 ,270 Woodbridge I 1 0, 144 I 7,573 I I TOTALS.. ../ 714,394 I 724,577 I A-164 - 3 - WATER RESOURCES: All of the property for the Bellamy Road Ravine erosion control project in the City of Scarborough has now been acquired. Where owners directly benefit from the project, the required property rights have been acquired for $2.00. Where the properties are required largely for access, some of the properties had to be bought and will be offered for re-sale. Completion of the restoration of the Bellamy Road Ravine is expected to take three years at a total cost of $2.5 million and is being funded jointly by the Province, Metropolitan Toronto and the City of Scarborough. Construction of the remedial works began in May, 1986 and is progressing on schedule. An access road from Kingston Road at the north end of the project has been constructed and watercourse stabilization work within the ravine, at its upper end, 1 swell underway. The Rainbow Creek Parkway is a development located on.the Newtonbrook Creek in the City of North York and where active coincident riverbank erosion was endangering a number of townhouse units. Negotiations with the benefitting owners and with the property owners affected by our proposed access were carried out earlier this year and construction of a 200m armour stone and rip rap-lined channel, designed to protect the development was carried out and completed over a six week periOd extending from the beginning of July to the middle of August at a cost of $85,000.00 Construction involving the Duncan Mills erosion control and slope stabilization project was completed in March of this year. Final grading, rest~ration, turf establishment and revegetation was carried out and completed in May. These 1986 works were the final stage of the project which was initiated in May of 1985.The remedial works involved a major relocation of the river away from the toe of the Valley wall slope and rebuilding of the slope by placing and compacting selected fill material with appropriate drainage, to a 4H IV slope. A total of $83,000.00 was expended for the 1986 works which represents the balance of the $305,200.00 approved for the overall p roj ec.t. Shoreline remedial works in the City of Scarborough are progressing as follows The breakwater to protect homes along South Marina Drive is being extended in 1986 by at least 200m. The core of the structure has been placed to the extent of this year's objective. Final armourlng of the breakwater with large pieces of armour stone is about to ~egin. Shoreline protection is also being built along the Lakehurst Crescent section of the Scarborough Bluffs and this work will be fo110we~ by an extension of the adjacent existing breakwater at Kingsbury Crescent. Remedial works are also planned for the fallingbroot Drive area but construction has been delayed by property negotiations. - Fill has been coming into the Col. S. Smith Landfill Site at a good rate this year and we are making substantial progress on this project. The easterly side of the breakwater will be substantially complete by the end of the year. Final armouring of the headland which was built in 1985 was completed by the end of August this year. Lease negotiations were completed with Hydrus Enterprises for the construction of a 500 slip marina at Bluffers Park Marina to include a restaurant and repair facility. The Authority's development responsibilities associated with the marina, which included dredging and shoreline protection, were completed by the end of August. Landscaping of the Marina site will commence in September while Hydrus proceeds with servicing and road construction. Progress on the Ajax Waterfront is as follows Another extension of the waterfront pathway system was initiated in July and was completed by the end of August. Erosion control works were als.o undertaken in three gullies along the shoreline. A-165 - 4 - WATER RESOURCES The Humber Watershed section of The Toronto Area Watershed Management Strategy Study (TAWMS) has now been completed and recommendations made. A report will be submitted to the Authority in the near future indicating what our role would be and what contributions we are expected to make. The Authority has already provided technical direction to studies and undertaken water quality studies in the rural Humber The recommendations will enable the Authorityto take a stronger role in rural areas implementing programs to reduce sediment loading and developing stronger ties with 0 M.A.F. and rural municipalities in reducing pollutant loadings to our rural streams. The Authority will likely be represented, along with other agencies, on a TAWMS Implementation Committee to oversee the Humber Management Plan On Friday, August 15, 1986, Metro and surrounding areas experienced a severe storm which caused flooding prDblems and associated damages. In general, precipitation ranged from 35mm (1 4 inches) in the area of Mono Mills to over 100mm (4 inches) in the Maple area, with close to 75mm (3 inches) falling in less than one hour at several locations. These intensities, which were in excess of a 100-year storm, caused severe street flooding, storm sewer surcharging, flooded basements and surface flooding to occur over our entire area of jurisdiction Fortunately, however, flood susceptible areas and damages were minimized due to channel works which have been recently constructed. BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE On Saturday, June 7th, ese F~esh Air broadcasted live from the Visitors Centre at Black Creek Pioneer Village for three hours More than 1,000 people attended the broadcast - the largest crowd ever to attend the annual Fresh Air Open House Co-hosts for the show were Bill McNeil and Cy Strange, Honorary Reeve and Deputy Reeve of Black Creek Pioneer Village. ~ The Tins.ith Shop was officially opened on June 13th by Claudio Po1sin~lli, MPP for Yorkview.

MATHER, DIRECTOR, WATER RESOURCE DIVISION RE SCARBOROUGH GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB LAW SUIT Staff were directed to prepare a report on the Decision by the Supreme Court of Ontario on the action brought against this Authority and the City of Scarborough by the Scarborough Golf and Country Club. The decision which was released on July 15, 1986 dismissed the action against the Authority but found the City of Scarborough liable for damages in the amount of $3,076,146.24 plus costs. It is staff's understanding that an appeal by the City of Scarborough has been launched. Although the action against the Authority was dismissed, the implications of this decision are very serious and require that the Authority review its policies and programs regarding flood control, storm water management and erosion cont=~l The decision is a lengthy one comprising 111 pages and therefore difficult to paraphrase and cover all of the points raised. This ~eport however will attempt to highlight the key issues. Although staff have had discussions with the Authority's solicitors regarding the i~plications of this decision, the solicitors have not reviewed or commented on this report or its recommendations. Where appropriate actual quotes from the decision are used and identified as such. Scarborough Golf Club's Claim 8The plaintiff (8the Club-) brings this action as a lower riparian owner for damages resulting from the acts (and failures) of the defendant the Corporation of the City of Scarborough (-the City8), in interfering with the flow and in constructing and operating a storm water system and trunk sewers, in the watershed of the west branch of the Highland Creek (8the Creek-). It also complains that the activities of the City amount to negligence and have resulted in a nuisance. It further maintains that the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (-the Authority8) bas breached several of its statutory duties in respect of the Creek rendering the Authority liable in negligence as well.- - 2 - In essence the Club was alleging that due to urbanization and the drainage systems designed and constructed by the City, the Club suffered increased flooding and erosion damages and that the Authority was negligent in allowing this to happen given its mandate as stated in Section 19 of the Conservation Authorities Act. Section 19 states: -The objects of an authority are to establish and undertake, in the area over which it has jurisdiction, a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources other than gas, oil, coal and minerals.- The powers of the Authority to achieve these objectives are stated in Section 20 The Judge conden~ed Section 20 as follows: -For the purposes of accomplishing its objectives, an authority has power, to study the watershed and develop programs for conservation, restoration etc., to enter upon any land, to acquire by .purchase or expropriation and to sell any land or personal property, to enter into all necessary agreements to control the flow of surface water in order to prevent flood, or to reduce the adverse effects thereof, to alter the course of any stream.- The Club also alleges that the Authority did not exercise its powers under its Fill and Construction Regulations in restricting the actions of the City of Scarborough. -The Club's allegations of negligence can be fairly summarized by referring to the above statutory and regulatory provisions. It alleges that upon the basis of them the Authority owed two general duties to the Club: (1) not to permit the construction or operation of a drainage system that would result in damage to the Club, and (2) not to alter the natural state of the Creek so as to cause damage to the Club. It further alleges that these duties have been breached by the Authority, specifically: (1) in having given permission or approval to the City pursuant to Regulation 125 to engage in their upstream activities, (2) in failing to acquire the Club's property pursuant to their stated policy or acquisition (as opposed to protection), and (3) having decided not to acquire the Club's property, in failing to protect those properties by construction and improvements to the Creek within the Club boundaries. The breach of those duties by the Authority is alleged to have resulted in damage to the Club.- I - 3 - Although the details of the Club's case and the defense of the City of Scarborough and the Authority are of interest, they would be too lengthy to discuss in this report and are of secondary importance to the actual decision and the resultant implications. The following therefore is a summary of the allegations by the Club against the City of Scarborough and the Authority and of the basis for the decision. . Judges Decision (A) Liability of the City of Scarborough The Club based its claim against the City on three separate issues (a) interference with their riparian rights: (b) nuisance: and (c) negligence. . The Judge found that the Club should succeed on all three grounds. (a) Riparian Rights It is generally accepted in law that a riparian owner has the right to have a stream of water come to him in its natural state, in flow quantity and quali ty The decision ~o be made by the court was whether the increases in the flow caused by urbanization interfered with the downstream rip?rian o,,!ners rights. An upper riparian owner has a right to natural drainage into the watercourse and the lower owner is obliged to accept such drainage. According to case law however, the lower riparian owner "is under no legal obligation to receive foreign water brought to the surface of his neighbour's property by artificial means". (John Young and Company v. Banker Distillery Company, 1983) . The Court concluded therefore -That while an upper riparian owner is entitled to natural drainage, to so qualify the drainage must come from reasonable drainage operations that do not increase the volume by artificial means. Furthermore, any undue accumulation of foreign waters on the lands of the upper riparian will make the drainage unnatural. In my view, the drainage scheme effected by the City was not a natural cine. The evidence clearly establishes that water entered the Creek from the drainage system of the City at a significantly greater volume and speed than it had prior to urbanization. The natural drainage of the lands in their undeveloped state has been radically altered by the City with the result that the volume - 4 - (flow) and the speed (quality) of the Creek have been much increased. What is more, the hardening of streets and properties within the watershed coupled with the present drainage system was not the result of an unconscious or accidental process as might result from natural forces. Instead, it was the result of a deliberate and conscious planning process undertaken by the City which must bear the responsibility for that planning. Furthermore, it is abundantly clear that the volume of drainage was increased by the City by artificial means. While this may amount to little more than a reiteration of the point made above, it cannot be stressed too strongly that t~e increases in flow and C' , speed were due in large part to the artificial storm water system planned and constructed by the City. On these grounds alone I find that the riparian rights of thQ plaintiff have suffered interference by the actions of the City, which actions cannot be justified as reasonable or as constituting natural drainage.- (b) Nuisance The Court defined nuisance as -the unreasonabl~ interference ~ith another's use or enjoyment of his land. In other words a nuisance can consist of material injury to property or the creation of sensible personal discomfort to property owners.- The Court found that the City of Scarborough created a nuisance of both kinds by increasing bank erosion and by dramatically changing the stream so that the use and enjoyment by the golfers was impaired. The important issues here are that the City of Scarborough argued that their drainage system was a "reasonable use" of the stream and that the drainage system was of "general benefit to the community at large". The City also argued that the Municipal Act empowers the municipality to, "construct, maintain, improving drains, sewers, or watercourses;" and thereby authorized to create the nuisance described above. The Court found that the drainage system could: (1) not be considered as reasonable use; (2 ) that case laws clearly indicates that "general benefit to the community. does not constitute a valid defence against nuisance and; (3) that the Municipal Act does not "either expressly authorize the City to create a nuisance or has as its inevitable consequence the creation of a nuisance". - 5 - (c) Negligence / The Club argued: .that the City was also liable for its negligent conduct in breaching a general duty of care by planning and constructing a storm water drainage system with the knowledge, or at the very least with reckless disregard for the fact, that it would cause damage to downstream riparian owners.. The Court concluded that: .The City had a common law duty of care to plan and construct its storm water drainage system so that it would avoid flooding and erosion damage to lower riparian owners....... .and that by proceeding in the fashion it did full in the knowledge of the damage, it would be causing or at the very least with complete disregard for the clear likelihood that such damage would result, the City breached its duty of care, caused damage to the plaintiff and now is answerable in damages.. a Liability of the Authoritv As stated earlier the Club argued that the Authority was negligent by: . (1) not meeting its statutory obligations under the Conservation Authorities Act and its Fill and Construction Regulation; (2 ) Failing to acquire the Club's property in accordance with stated policy; and (3 i Not carry out protective works on the Club's property after having decided not to acquire in accordance with stated policy. ( a) Statutorv Obliqations The Court found that: .... the Act and Regulations pertaining to the Authority impose no specific obligations on it whatsoever, Sections 19 and 20 of the Act merely empower the Authority to embark on anyone of a number of programmes.. ... .Thus, if any statutory duties arose which may have been breached by the Authority they only could have arisen within the operational context of either a policy adopted by it or an approval granted by it under the Regulation.. - 6 - In other words, the Authority is not obligated to do the things that the Act empowers it to do However once the Authority decides to carry out a program then it is possible that the Authority could be found to have breached its statutory duties based on how it carried out a stated policy The Authority could also be found to have breached its duties if it approved a permit under the Fill and Construction Regulations that in some way -affected the control of flooding or pollution or the conservation of land-, which are the tests the Authority must use when reviewing an application. Although the Judge found that the Authority did not breach its statutory duties under the Conservation Authorities Act, he did leave the very clear impression that by the manner in which the Authority reviewed and approved applications under the Regulation, it could be found to have breached its duties: however, the Club failed to present sufficient evidence that the Authority's procedures lead to the flooding and erosion of the Club's lands. The Judge stated: -To mean anything at all, reasonable skill and care must mean reasonable skill and care having regard for the possible deleterious consequences of granting an approval to the lands wi~hin its jurisdiction. By failing so completely to have regard for anything more than the immediate .and superficial consequences of any proposed construction project, the Authority, in my view, brea~hed this duty of care and so is liable for the damages that flow as a. result.- As stated, the Judge's opinion was that the Authority was liable for damages on this issue but that the Club did not prove this P9int and therefore he could not assess damages. This is a very important point however for it certainly sets the stage for future actions against the Authority by other riparian owners. (b) Failure to Acquire The Club indicated during the ~rial that they would not pursue this . argument and so it was not considered any further by Judge Cromarty. (c) Failure To Carry Out Protective works The Judge's comments on this issue are quite long and are based on a review of Authority policies in several Authority policy documents and individual projects covering the time frame of 1961 to 1980. The Judge's finding was that the Authority could not be found liable on this point. His main premise was.: - - . - 7 - . it must be borne in mind that in assessing the potential ... negligence of a statutory body by reference to its statutory duties, there is no basis in law upon which one can impugn the very pOlicies of that body. However, once a policy decision is made and a particular course of action selected upon, which members of the public such as the Club may rely, the manner in which those policies are put into operation may be the proper subject of criticism.. The Judge'S review of the various Authority documents and Projects and the evidence put forward lead hi~ to the conclusion that: .the unavoidable conclusion is that in general terms the Authority adopted a practical policy of regarding the Club lands as a floodway, as if they had been acquired and providing no greater and probably less erosion control than it did for its own lands. If that accurately describes the very general but unstated policy position of the Authority with respect to the Club over the 20 year period beginning in 1960, and I find as a fact that it does, can it be said that the Authority was in any way negligent in its implementation of that policy? I think not. ay and large, that policy was implemented with perfect consistency. Surely, if any criticism is to be made, it must be levelled not at the ~plementation of the policy but at the policy..... Damages As a result of the Judge,s review of the evidence, he dismissed the case against the Authority but found the City of Scarborough negligent on all three claims and assessed against them the full damages of $3,076,146.24 plus costs. It is our understanding that the City of Scarborough has requested an appeal. However until an appeal decision has been made, Judge Cromarty's decision must be taken as final The implications of this decision on both Authority and municipal policy and procedures must be considered very carefully and where deemed necessary, appropriate changes proposed. - 8 - Implications Municipalities The implications of this decision on municipalities are frightening to say the least. Since the argument of "standard engineering practice" and ! "general benefit to the community. were not accepted as a defense in this cas'\:! . This is particularly disturbing since although the downstream impacts of drainage systems have been known for some time, the concept of "Storm Water Manage~ent. is very new, at least in the Toronto area. Storm Water Management was not practised until the late 1970's and early 1980,s and even still has not been totally accepted by all municipal engineers. In fact even though th~ impacts were known, the technology was not available, until the mid-1970's and is still being developed today. The ability to define the impacts and then to develop practical storm water management sc~emes to alleviate the impacts through the use of computer lnodels, is relatively new science. Given that Municipalities will continue to grow and develop and that drainage systems must be incorporated for health and safety reasons, the potential, is there for any downstream riparian owner to claim for erosion and flood.ing damages unless the municipality can regulate the flow of water to pre-development conditions. How this is to be achieved and what the level of control should be unfortunately were not addressed by the Court and therefore decisions on how and to what extent ~ontrol must be exercised, must be made carefully. Conservation Authorities Although this Authority was not found negligent in this particular case, it would appear, as stated earlier, that the Judge found us wanting in (1) what and how we reviewed applications under Ontario Regulation 293/86: (2 ) the enforcement of our Regulations: and (3 ) overall Authority Policies. .. - 9 - What this means is that the approval of any filling or construction in areas under the jurisdiction of the Authority, no matter how small, without a detailed engineering review of the downstream implications, could subject the Authority to a claim for damages. Similarly, unless the Authority strictly enforced its regulations, it could be found negligent. Obviously to administer its regulation in this manner would be very expensive and time consuming. Although the Authority has revised its policies and programs since the adoption of its Watershed Plan in 1980 and especially since it incorporatec for the first time a program of Storm Water Management, it would be prudent to review these policies and programs in light of this decision. Conclusions It would appear from this decision that the planning, reviewing and implementation of urban drainage systems in developing areas must be done so in a manner -such that increases in downstream erosion and flooding is minimized. Recently through the use of appropriate storm water management techniques, the A~thority and the municipalities have been attempting to achieve this goal. Unfortunately the Court did not iQdicate to what level controls must be provided to ensure protection downstream. The Province of Ontario however is about to release the report of the Urban Drainage Implementation Committee which will recommend Provincial guidelines for the design and construction of storm water management facilities. It would therefore seem reasonable that this Committee review the Sca~borough Golf Club decision and determine whether any changes are required in their recommendations since this report will form the basis of all urban drainage systems in the future. As far as the Authority's ad~inistration of its regulations and its various policies are concerned, it would also seem prudent to review these in light of this decision. Staff should therefore be directed to carry out such a review in conjunction with the Authority's solicitors and recommend any - changes if necessary. . ---- .. - 10 - RECOMMENDATIONS I IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT The staff report on the decision of the Supreme Court of Ontario regarding the Scarborough Golf and Country Club vs. The Corporation of the City of Scarborough and the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority be received: AND THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT (1 ) The Urban Drainage Implementation Committee be requested to I review the decision of the Supreme Court of Ontario and if necessary recommend changes .to the sQon to be released ! report on Provincial Storm Water Management Guidelines for the Province of Ontario. (2 ) Authority staff review in conjunction with its solicitors the Authority's policies and operating criteria contained within the Watershed Plan in light of the Scarborough Golf Club decision. (3 ) 7he Authority continue to work with its Member Municipalities in promoting good urban drainage practices. (4 ) Copies of this report be forwarded to all municipalities . within the Authority's jurisdiction for their information.

TERMINATION On motion, the meeting was terminated at 12 20 P m , November 28 W T Foster W A McLean Chairman Secretary-Treasurer KC A-200 SCHEDULE "A" .- TREE DONATION PROGRAM REPORT 1 BACKGROUND At meeting #2/86 of the Executive Committee, staff were directed to investigate the feasibility of public donations of trees for memorials and other special purposes, for planting in conservation areas Tree donation programs have a long history in our society, and have proven to be an effective means of augmenting natural resource development in areas that would otherwise remain depleted due to economic and political restrictions The Jewish National Fund of North York, for example, accepts donations to honour events in one's life such as birthdays, anniversaries, deaths, etc Donations are for the planting of a sap~ing for S7 DO, garden for S500 00, or grove for S5,OOO 00, in Canada Forest, Israel This Authority, in a similar, capacity, has honoured individuals, families and corpo~ate bodies who have made significant contributions to the objectives of the Conservation Authority by the planting of trees Although a non-donation based program, The Honour Roll Awards have resulted in the planting of 84 trees since 1974 Since the mid 1960's memorial donations have been made for the planting of trees and shrubs at Black Creek Pioneer Village to honour the memory of loved ones The maples of Maple Avenue, the oak outside the Mill, and the trees of Peacock Woods are all examples Other donations have also been accepted such as those from the Garden Club for berming, topsoil and landscaping in the vicinity of the mill pond and south towards Shoreham Drive The Grand River Conservation Authority has been involved in a variety of tree donation programs, the most successful being the 8eckett-Glaves Memorial Forest Minimum donations of tnirty dollars (S30 00) or multiples of thirty (S30 CO, S60 00, S90 00, etc ), are accepted for the planting of a tree to honour the memory of a loved one The trees and shrubs are planted in a designated site within the Brant Conservation Area, known as the Beckett-Glaves Memorial Forest This project was initiated in 1985 with donations in the amount of S13,900 00 Donations cover the costs of preparing a planting plan, signage, plant material, labour and lona-term maintenance of the site Reasons for the success of this project over and above others, were due to the inclusion of maintenance costs, sound planning and record keeping Likewise, the Royal Botanical Gardens receives a number of donations sent to commemorate a special personal occasion or in memory of a loved one Donati ons for single shrubs are S100 00, individual specimen trees are S500 00, nnd groupings of five (5) shrubs are 5500 00 These sums represent not only purchase of the plant, but also costs of planning, planting, labelling, plant record documentation and ongoing maintenance 2 PURPOSE Given economic constraints of the modern day, the Authority is looking for new ways of ful fill ing its objectives The Conservation Authority has long been involved in conservation land management including reforestation, wildlife management, and more recently urban management A reforestation Pl'ogram was developed and implemented by the Humber Valley Conservation Authority in 1951, prior to the amalgamation of the conservation authorities forming the Metropolitan Toronto and ~egion Conservation Authority (MTRCA) in 1957 In 1958, a Wildlife Management program was implemented with the propagation of 6,000 seedlings at the Boyd Nursery This led to the planting of trees and shrubs for wildlife in various Authority properties Between 1959 and 1972 a total of 222,270 seedlings and 18,279 trees were planted These plantings continued up to 1982, when demand for limited funding forced the cancellation of this program. More recently (1982), an Urban Management program was developed to assist private and public landowners with sound conservation management practice through vegetation planting and management The purpose of the tree donation program is to plant trees on Conservation lands where there is presently insuffficient funding to carry out the Authority's objecti ves - 2 - 3 PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The objectives of a Tree Donation Programme (al to develop a woodland or grove rather than a series of individual tree dedications, as a means of avoiding high maintenance costs. (bl to develop and maintain the woodland in a manner in keeping with this Authority's objectives {cl to address local needs and interests 4 TYPES OF PROGRAMS There are a variety of programs for consideration MEMORIAL FOREST developed by a funeral home in cooperation with the Conservation Authority Each person whose funeral is handled by the home, automatically has a tree planted in their memory Memorial Forests would be developed in a woodlands context The main entrance could be landscaped and well maintained so that it is suitable for dedication services As one moves from the entrance to the interior of the woodland, the path narrows and the character of the woodland becomes more wild in appearance forming a nature trail CG~!PANY FOREST developed by a company or employee association to honour long-term employees The character of this woodland would be similar to that of the Memorial Forest. REFORESTATION PROJECT where special interest groups donate to a special reforesta ti on proj ect Such groups may include Nature Conservancy, Boy Scouts, Garden Club, Soil Conservation Society and others The nature of this type of project would be comparable to existing forest management tracts DONORS ARBORETUM where the Authority receives direct donations from companies, groups, or individuals to commemorate a special occasion Trees would be in a manicured park-like setting r.EMBERS AVElWE where life members, for example of the Kortright Centre, nave the opportunity with an additional donation, of having a tree planted on their behalf along the entrance road to the centre The trees wou 1 d provide a mix of fall colours, and in time, would form a canopy over the road The shoulders of the road would be manicured for distinction of these trees NECTAR ARBORETUM where donations would be accepted from compaines, groups and individuals with the specific purpose of providing a new outdoor education experience The character of this arboretum may be wild in nature but manicured access for the public. GARDEN IN THE ROUND where again donations would be accepted from an array of sources for the purpose of providing an outdoor educational and recreatina1 experience for all, but in particular the disabled and aged This type of area would be well maintained and manicured 5. SITE SELECTION CRITERIA - accessible to visitors - secured to avoid vandalism - controlled access - suitable for future expansion, therefore, portable markers may be considered - access for equipment and water supply - 3 - - compatible with nature of the donation program, for example, a memorial forest should be located in a reflective/meditative area away from high acti vi ty centres - facilitates recognition of donors and may include signage identifying the nature of the project, for example, Beckett-G1aves Memorial Forest 6 DONATION GUIDELINES 6 1 Plant species are chosen and sited in accordance with the policies existing or planned collections 6 2 Labelling is consistant with our existing graphics standards Plaques are provided only for major collections or contributions 6 3 Donations For individual shrubs $ 25.00 Single saplings (150-175 cm, bare root) $ 50 00 Caliper trees (50 mm deciduous, 150 cm coniferous) $500 00 Group of 5 shrubs as planted in Synoptic Collection $100 CO These sums represent not only the purchase of the plan, but also cost of planning, planting, labelling, plant records documentation and ongoing maintenance 6 4 Donations are recognized by letter of thanks and tax deductible receipt. As well, a map showing location of planting may also be provided upon request 7 T ARGEi tA.ARKETS 7 1 Funeral Homes 7 2 Officers, directors, members, donors, volunteers 7 3 Companies, special groups, and individuals 8 ,4.i)/.1 IN r STRA TI ON Donation records, receipts, finances and plant record documentation may be administered by the Foundation, or in some cases, the specifiC centre 9 RECOMMENDATIONS There are a variety of programs, locations, donations and administration combinations possible Those recommended in this report have been found through our research to be most likely to succeed Only four donation projects are proposed for implementation in the first year This will allow time for the development of an implementation and marketing strategy with the appropriate bodies concerned (eg Program Services, Field Operations, and the Foundation), and assessment of projects after one year Projects recommended are (1) - Members Avenue at the Kortright Centre for Conservation, (2 ) - Memorial Forest in the Albion Hills Conservation Area, and (3 ) - Donor Forest, Greenwood Forest and Wildlife Area (4) - Donor Arboretum, Black Creek Pioneer Village, KORTRIGHT CENTRE 'OR CONSERVATION is ideally suited to a Members Avenue because of its nature and member commitment Although this program does not satisfy the main program objective, it does recognize' in perpetuity the contributions of life members - 4 - Each donation of $300.00 (a discount from $500 00) in addition to life membership fee, would be recognized by the individual tree location The tree would have a numbered brass tack which refers to a map giving the donor's name This map would be displayed at the Centre and copies made available to donors and general public ALBION HILLS CONSERVATION AREA is considered suited to a Memorial Forest due to its site characteristics and proximity to residential areas A minimum donation of $50.00 would be accepted and all donations would go into a Memorial Tree Fund for the planning, plant material, planting, signage and maintenance of the woodland Individual donations would not be recognized by individual plantings, but rather the development of the woodland. GREENwOOD FOREST AND WILDLIFE AREA is considered suited to a Donors Forest to recognize contributions to conservation in general rather than contributions to a specific centre For minimum donations of $500 00, donors are recognized by individual pl anti ngs As for the Members Avenue, numbered brass tree tacks would refer to map giving the donor's name For donations of less that $500 00, donors would be recognized on the donors list at the base of the map Pricing of plant material would be as identified in the Donation Guidelines (p 4 ) SLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE is considered suited to a Donor Arboretum to recognize contributions to the Village Donations may be received from individuals, groups and clubs to commemorate a special occasion, or honour the memory of a loved one As for the Donor Forest, donors are recognized by individual planting for minimum donations of $500.00 For donations of less that $500 00, the donor will be recognized on the donors list The above recommended programs will be administered by the Resource Management Section in cooperation with the Foundation Identi fied for future consideration are - Reforestation Projects on Authority land in proximity to the interest group and its intended use, - Nectar Arboretum and/or Trillium Garden and Walk at Kortright, - Garden In The Round at perhaps Humber Bay Waterfront Park, and - additional Memorial Forests at other Conservation Areas '\-201 SCHEDULE "B" STAFF REPORT ON GOLF COURSE ACQUISITIONS TO The Chai~an and Mem~ers of the Conservation and Related Land Management Advisory Board, Meeting ;5/86 FROM Alyson C n~ans, Planning & Policy Coordinator RE Golf Course Acquisitions At its Meeting t7/86, the Authority considered a recommendation from the Board respecting the Uplands Golf Course In this connection, the Authority directed staff to prepare a report "relating to the terms for the acquisition of the York Downs and Tam O'Shanter golf courses; And FURTHER THAT such report be presented to the Conservation and Related Land Manage~ent Advisory Board at its meeting scheduled for November 21, 1986" Sta:f have reviewed past records and provide the following for the information of the Board York Downs Golf Ccurse Early in 19~1, the Authority was requested, by the Aorough of North York, to consider the acquisition of the York Downs Golf Course The lands involved included approximately 160 acres of which 65 acres were flood plain and corservation lands Development had been proposed on the property and the Rorough was seeking acquisition as a means to retain these lands The Authority had included the valleyland por~ion of the property in its ~aster Plan for Acquisition of Flood Plain and Conservation Lands, however, funcing for that Plan had expired and negotiations were underway with the Province for an extension The Authority therefore resolved that "Ial The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Borough of North York be advised that The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is not, in 1971, in a position to proceed with the acquisition of flood plain and conservation lands contained within the York Down~ Golf Course, unless one or more municipalities agree to be designated as totally benefiting; (0) Subject, however, to the Authority being able to negotiate a satlsfactory agreement with the Province of Ontario and its member municipalities for the Extension 0: the Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation, including the provision of sufficient funds Eor a continuing programme of flood plain and conservation land acquisition: the Authority give consider3tion to the acquisition of that portion of the York Downs Golf Course lying within the Maste~ Plan". This matter was considered by Metropolitan Toronto in 1971, ~ithin the context of its 1965 "Twenty-Five Year Development Concept for Regional ?arks" which has suggested that "the Corporation should be prepared to protect the existing use or open space requirement at the following golf course locations at such time as the existing use might change Lambton Golf Course, Scarborough Golf Course, York Downs Golf Course, Rosedale Golf Course" 7he Authority subsequently adopted Project W C 72 - A ?roject for the ACGuisition of York Downs Golf Course and that "(al The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be 1esignat~d as benefiting municipality; Ibl The Minister of Natural Resources be requested to approv~ of the Project and a grant ~n the basis to be S8t forth in the said Project; - 2 - ( c) The Project be submitted to The Ontario Municipal Board for approval and necessary action, if required: (d) When approved, the appropriate Authority officials be authorized to take whatever action is required in connection with the Project, including the execution of any necessary documents" The total cost of the 19i2 Project was S9,250,000 to be funded as follows Provincial share S3,750,000 Authority share . from Metro 3,500,000 . from North York 2,000,000 S9,250,000 A Management Agreement between Metropolitan Toronto and the Authority has been in place since 1961 and provides that all Authority acquisitions of flood plain and conservation lands within Metropolitan Toronto be deemed park lands and all subsequent development management and maintenance costs are assumed by Metro. The Authority retains title to these properties and the right to approve any development proposals A third-party agreement with a local municipality, in this case North York, permitted the Borough to assume management responsibility for the tableland Tam O'Shanter Golf Course Close to the time of considering the York Downs project, a similar situation was developing relative to the Tam O'Shanter Golf Course. A further special project CA 65 was adopted to enable the acquisition of these lands The total cost of the 1973 Project was $11,075,000 to be funded as follows Provincial share S 4,450,000 .ll,uthority share . from Metro 4,200,000 from Scarborough 2,425,000 Sll,075,000 Tr,e lands then became subject to the same, existing Management Agreement ~etweerr Metro and the Authority SUMMARY In both previous golf course acquisitions . a special project was adopted as the lands were not all, or in part, included within existing Authority acquisition projects . the Province was willing to share in the acquisition cost . Metropolitan Toronto was designated the benefiting municipality and raised all of the Authority's share of the project between itself and the affected local municipality . the lands, once acquired, remained in Authority title with all future costs of development and management assumed by Metropolitan Toronto under the ter~s of its 1961 Management Agreement with the .ll,uthori ty ACD/tf 1986 11.05 .-'1-202 SCHEDULE "C" il CLAUSE NO 15 OF REPORT NO 13 OF THE PARKS, RECREATION & PROPERTY CO~MITTEE, THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO THE GUILD INN - LEASE WITH eN HOTELS INC - or,.

LEASE WITH CN HOTELS INC. (The MetropolLtan ExecutLve CommLttee recommends the adoptLOn of the following Clause. and certifies to Council a special estimate m the amount of $290,70000 ta give effect thereto ) The Parks, Recreation and Property Committee recommends the adoption of the following report (October 23, 1986) from the Chairman, Board of Management of the Guild, and that the Metropolitan Executive Committee certify to Council a special estimate in the amount of $290.7 thousand to give effect thereto. It is the VIew of the Board of Management of the Guild that the suggestiOns made below are the best possible ones for the benefit of the Metropolitan CorporatIon and the taxpayer In thIS light, therefore, we recommend. (1) That authority be granted to enter into a lease wIth C'\ Hotels lnc generally 10 accordance with the terms outlined in thls report, in a form satlsfactor) to the Board and the Metropolitan Sohcitor, and that the concurrence of the :vletropolitan Toronto and RegIon Conservation Authority be sought.

(5) That the operating agreement between The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Board of :\lanagement of the Guild be extended for a further period of fi ye years and be amended to pro\'lde that the Board IS responsible for' (a) negotIatIOns for the provision of funds as set out In Recommendation No (2) above, and for negotiating for and acquirmg any other funds as may appear approprIate '0) examming and granting the necessarv approvals for the works to be undertaken bv C"i Hotels -2- (c) locating, conserving and displaying architectural artifacts and outdoor sculpture Cd) presenting to visitors and others a history of the Guild of All Arts' (e) organizing a variety of arts and crafts events: and en promoting heritage resources associated with the Guild. (6) That the appropriate Metropolitan Officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action is necessary to give effect thereto, including the provision of the necessary funds. The ChIef Administrative Officer concurs in the above recommendatIOns Background. The :\letropolitan Council, by its adoption of Clause :-;0 67 of Report '\0 20 of The :\letropolitan Executive CommIttee, 1985, directed as follows "The Board of Management of the Guild be dIrected, In co-operatIOn with the :\letropohtan Department of :\ilanagement Services to e'XpeditIOusl \ explore finanCial options for the future, including the pOSSible leasing of the hotel portIOn of the propert~ on a long-term basis, \.,,-ith a view to reducing or el1mmatmg future capital costs and also create sufficient revenues to support the art and artIfacts actl \ Ities und to report thereon to the Executive Committee every six months" Subsequently, the Metropolitan Executive Committee on :\larch 25 1986 had before It a communication (February 26, 1986) from the Chmrmun Board 01 \lallagement of the Guild recommending that the Metropolitan Executive Committee concur in the Board';,; ;,;uggestlOn that proposals for the future operation of the GUlld Inn be sol1clted from responslhle parties that the soliCitation and assessment of the proposals received be the JOInt responslbilit\ of th€.' Board of j\lanagement of the Guild and the :\letropolitan Department of :\l::!.nagement Services that the proposals be reqUIred to take into account the cultural aspects of the Guild and that the Board report back to the :Vletropolitan Executive Committee In three months The Metropohtan Executive Committee concurred in the recommendations contained In the aforementioned communication. The :\Ietropohtan Executive Committee was advised in June of 1986 that proposal::; were beIng sought, and that the Board of ;'vlanagement would report to the :\letropolitan Executive CommIttee in the earlv fall of 1986 As a result, the Board, in associUtion With the Department of Management Sel'vlces publicly invited proposals from experienced hotel operators A copy of that proposal call is attached. Thirteen firms picked up the proposal documents; there were two serious proposals 't our Board, along with staff from the Department of Management Services, the Office of the :\letropolitan Chairman, and the :\letropolitan Legal Department, reviewed the proposals. met with the proponents, and based on the proposals and the interVIews, began further negotiatIOns with C~ Hotels fnc. in an attempt to produce an agreement satisfacton to both parties -3- General agreement has now been reached, and a letter of intent from CN Hotels Inc. is attached as an appendix to this report. In essence, CN Hotels has agreed to lease the property for a fixed term on a net net basis, to pay rent, to expend approximately $17 5 million improving the property, and to co- operate with the Board in respect to cultural and related activities at the Guild. At the end of the term, the property and all Improvements revert to Metropolitan Toronto This agreement removes from Metropolitan Toronto a fmancial obligation it has incurred and would continue to incur if such an agreement were not reached. The agreement requires the concurrence of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Recommendation No (1) It is recommended, therefore, that authority be granted to enter mto a lease wIth CN Hotels Inc. generally m accordance wIth the terms outlined m thIS report m a form satisfactory to the Board and the Metropolitan Solicitor, and that the concurrence of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region ConservatlOn Authority be sought. As negotiations continued and other matters concernmg the GUlld arose, It became eVIdent that apart from the agreement, attention would have to be drawn to a number of other Issues. These are lIsted here, along with recommendatlOns pertaming to them. Intel'im and Long-Term Funding' As Will be seen from the attached letter of mtent, rental and percentage income wIll soon be flowing to Metropolitan Toronto [n the intenm. funds WIll be required for the continued operation of the arts and cultural activItIes and functions at the GUlld. as well as any antIcIpated operating losses that may be mcurred in 1987 prior to C~ takmg possessIOn The Board wIll be submitting Its proposed budget for 1987 m the usual way It has recently been drawn to the attention of the Board that the great bulk of the a:.ts and artuacts on the property (some ninety-nine per cent.) are in fact the propert" of the Ontario Hentage Foundation. The Foundation is also in posseSSlOn of funds amountmg to some $300 thousand, donated to It some years ago by the prevlOUS owner of the Guild. and mformallv earmarked for Guild activities As well, there remains what was essentially a holdback from the ongInal purchase price, whIch was to be used for capital improvements to the GUlld property These funds are held in the trust by the law firm of Gardmer, Roberts, the soliCItors for The Metropohtan Toronto and Region ConservatlOn Authontv, and WIth interest now amount to some $630 thousand. It would be prudent for the Board to enter into negotIations with the Ontario Heritage Foundation, with the heirs of the estate of Spencer Clark, and with the M T.R.C.A., with a VIew to the estabhshment of a fund comprised of the above monies, to be used in future years for the maintenance and further development of the GUild cultural and arts activities, including the structure known as BuIlding 191 (the Rosa and Spencer Clark Museum), whIch will be referred to later in this report. -4- Recommendation No (2) It is recommended, therefore, that the Board of Management of the GuIld be authorIzed and directed to enter into negotiatiOns with the approprIate persons and agencies descrIbed above, with a view to establishing a fund to be used for approprIate activites at the Guild as outlined in this report. Buildings. The agreement with CN Hotels contemplates that the structures known as the Osterhaut CablO, the Sculpture StudiO, the Pottery Kiln, and BUilding 191, as well as two other buildlOgs used for storage and an artist s workshop, will remam under the JUrISdictIOn of the Board.

Sandra ::v1atheson, and Mr E C Bovev, ChaIrman of the BOD.rd of the :vlanagement of the Guild. The fo!lowlOg Issues were IdentIfied. The Gudd has experIenced occupancy levels in 1986 sigmficantly below budget as a result of the followlOg' (AI Between Februarv 17 and March la, 1986 unlOmzed staff of the Guild were on strike While the hotel was open for bus mess, certain groups cancelled their bookings because they dId not want to cross the picket lines and other groups were not aware that the Inn was operatlOg The February occupanc" level was 47 per cent. compared to a budget of 60 per cent :\'Iarch occupanc\ was 20 per cent. whlle the budget estimate was 54 6 per cent. The Board estImates the net strike cost to be $150 thousand, after considenng the lost bookings, the Impact of the new contract on salarIes and wages and increased ;;ecurnv costs -5- (B) Durmg March, April and May, three major client groups cancelled their bookmgs. This was due to corporate cutbacks in training and development budgets and not because of any problem with the Guild. The business lost as a result of this action is estimated at $100 thousand. (C) July proved to be a soft month for vacabon travel in the east sector of MetropolItan Toronto At the Guild, July occupancy attained a level of 79 per cent., below the budgeted rate of90 per cent. and down from the 86 4 per cent. level of July, 1985 The impact on the bottom line is estimated at $100 thousand. At the meeting, Mr Bovey suggested that the funds allocated for the new recreation facilities and the relocation of the front desk totalling $120 thousand could be used to partially alleViate the projected loss on operations Controller Morrish and Budget Div1slon staff agreed. Considering the developments above, the rev1sed budget requl rement 1S $468.0 thousand. The approved budget estimate for 1986 IS $177 3 thousand Therefore the transfer requIred from ContIngencY 1S $290 7 thousand. Recommendation No (4) It is recommended, therefore, that funds In the amount of $290 i thousand be transferred from the Contingency Fund to the 1986 OperatIng Budget, Board of :\1anagement of the GUild, and that the Metropohtan Executive Comm1ttee certify an est1mate to Metropolitan CounCil for this purpose Controller Morrish concurs In thiS recommendatlOn.

EO Box 467, Station J Toronto, Ontario M4J 4Z2 January 14, 1987 Dear Mr. Foster, On January 23, at the HTRCA Board Meeting, you will be asked to receive and ratify the Water and Related Land Management Advisory Board's recommendation of Concept "D" for Toumy Thompson Park. We ask that you review the recommendations closely, and note that Concept "D" incurs the greatest capital cost, brings private automobiles far out into the Spit, and will involve the greatest on-going maintenance costs. - In 1986, 40,959 people were counted visiting The Spit. Of this number of users, 96.7% were there to cycle, jog, walk, and enjoy The Spit as it is, car-free and natural. It is cn1S group of people who will have their enjoyment of The Spit greatly lessened by Concept "D". We feel that the HTRCA's consultant did not understand that this vast majority simply enjoy The Spit as it is, and that no great expenditures are necessary. Further, 14 months ago, the Board directed staff to study equally the non- development option - this study has not been presented to you. We have enclosed our proposal, for your review. Our "ToDmIY Thompson Park - A Better Concept Plan" will satisfy all users - it retains the existing sailing club under its present terms, it limits the private automobile traffic to a parking lot at the base of The Spit, it keeps The Spit as it is, and proposes natural succession zones, and it acknowledges future expansion possibilities at the base. You will note that this concept plan uses the MTRCA's own criteria, to achieve a far more compatible and successful concept. We ask that you review our plan, and ask the staff and consultant to implement this proposal, as an acknowledgement that this plan, "A Better Concept Plan", indeed satisfies all user groups, and will enable planning to proceed swiftly.

Foster Chairman Metropolitan Toronto Region Conservation Authority 5 Shoreham Drive Downsview, Ontario Dear Mr. Foster: Rei Coaaenta - Water and Related Land Management Advisory Board Meeting '6/86 - ~y Thompson Park As stated to Mr. McLean in my letter of 3 December 1986, I am of the opinion that your consultant, E.D.A. Collaborative Inc. , failed to examine enough concept plans pertaining to Option III which would better integrate the THC marina proposal (water surface and land area) with the park. In this context a new concept en- ti tled DM was attached for your staff review. It was expected that costs' would be developed in order to compare Concept OM with your Concept D. In your staff report to the Water and Related Land Management Advisory Board, no attempt was made to address concept DM in terms of: - costs - Authority goals (from Phase I) relative to Concept D. Will this be done? If so, will it be done prior to the January Board meeting? If not, why not? While the advisory Board directed you to enter into formal discus- sions with the THC re: the north shore boating clubs, it is neces- sary to keep in mind that the THC as of this date, is still in- sisting that the north shore lands are needed for a possible port expansion. It is unlikely that a port expansion will occur in the near terms Le. 20 years, yet the THC wants the dry sailing clubs off these lands now. - 2 - Even if the THC was willing to provide a 20 year lease to the M'fRCA (rather than the clubs) for these lands, there is still a level of uncertainty for these clubs. Concept OM would eliminate that uncertainty. FUture boating demand in the central waterfront area could then be accommodated in the Ashbridges Bay Waterfront Area and possibly along the north shore lands depending on the circumstances then. Concept OM avoids the issue now of the status of the north shore lands altogether. It also meets more closely, the initial Authority goals, and as such is superior to Concept o. It is superior from a natural resource and recreation point of view. What we do not know, is Concept OM's cost relative to Co.ncept -0- as approved by the advisory board. Can we expect a detailed cost estimate for both 0 and OM? Again I would like to stress that your agency is to be conunended for its progress to date and openness to suggestions. I only ask that Concept OM be costed for comparison purposes and included as a fifth concept. Effectively Concept OM is a third concept under Option III (as defined in the Phase I planning exercise).

A. ~ January 19, 1987 Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation and Authority 5 Shoreham Drive Downsview. Ontario M3N 1S4 Sirs: I wish to make the following written submission to the MTRCA and have it. READ INTO THE RECORD. I am a concerned citizen who has been involved in many aspects of preserving Toronto, including several ravines, in Dartic~r, the Park Side Ravine (adjacent to Craigleigh Gardens, South Rosedale) which was returned to its natural wildland state after Toronto Hydro had installed new cables and the service road was lIimproved". I helped save the Old City Hall, and earlier the St. Lawrence Hall from demolition. The former is now a respected piece of arch; tecture and the latter the hub of a large area of urban revitalization - both essential landmarks. I make mention of the above to demonstrate that I am not simply a naturalist or birder, but someone who is interested in the variety and the Quality of life in this city, which has made it one of the great young cities of the world, not just North America. In the case of the Spit, I find in incredible that, two or three years ago, I attended meeting after meeting at the City Hall and elsewhere, and heard group after group and individual after individual ask that the Spit be retained as a sanctuary, not only for birds but for people, wi~hout the i ntrusi on of cars, boats, and thei r accompanyi ng i n€~~~llisuch as washrooms, service roads, etc., - incredible that after so many years of so many submissions, the authorities can now be apparently seriously considering the opposite. The present plan is not a compromise, it is a capitulation to a strident, commercial minority. Any building, any vehicular access, any so-called lIimprovement" will destroy what, almost by accident, Toronto has managed to create - a man-made site which has become a unique wonder and an example of nature, once disturbed, re-adapting to man - an example admired and respected throughout the western world. Please do not throw it out or in any way compromise it. Such chances of rebalancing man and nature, such an opportunity for urban people to enjoy what has become a unique natural phenomenan and experience within a major city, must not be destroyed or compromised. Any change or damage to the Spit, which is now known around the world, not just by natura 1 i sts but also by urban planners, wi 11 be seen as a retrogressive short-sighted move and will be greeted with derision. I ask you to leave well alone - and at no cost. YOIt:nr~ K-M Fe 11 s (Mrs.) ((. ~ A-L t>i'2={ul4. (1J J~~ II ( 41.... SeeM- 0A ~ n ... 'D,4-Vi D C B-t;-P\L ~' -e ~p , . .' . ~d Us.

"We are some Qf the thousands of Torontonians who walk, cycle and bird-watch on the Leslie St. Spit and we urge you to support the concept of leav/ing the Spit exactly the way it is and letting the ricpness and diversity of indigenous plant and bird life continue to increase of its own accord. It has been found that plants that were once plentiful in the dunes and wet meadows which were destroyed so long ago to make way for the concrete City are once again, because of this finger-land, finding hospitable habitats. There are many reasons why the Spit has become unique and why its use for anything besides a protected natural area should be . reconsidered and turned down. . We realize the pressure from boaters which forms on~ relatively small but d1sproporionately influential user 2roup. There will always be a demand for moor1n~s and docking areas as the vopulation expands in the same way tha t car.s increase and parking lats are needed. Is this a reason fer destroying this new unique he-ad-la.~d. Unfortunately, it would become just one more marina a re.a because boaters mean cars, and boaters will not shift; once alI-awed in. Already, the Spit has bec.ome internationally famous and has been fe.atured in ~agazines in Europe as the miraculous way a huge City h~s accidentally acquired an unspoiled natural haven. Las.t September one of the delegates at the British Medical Association meeting which toak place at the Sheraton Hotel told me he had made the 1983 meeting especiallY because he was a bird- war~her and wanted to walk on the Spit. In. 1978 more than 17,000 cyclists, hikers and bus passengers v:isted the Spit. Two-thirds of visitors in a THe survey that year wanted the Spit to be exclusively for cycling, hiking and bird- wa.tching. We hope that you will help the thausands af Tarontonians who want the Spit protected fram cars, marinas, aquatic parks--any kind of de.v:e:lapmen t and manicuring; who want it left to. the people, birds and.: plants... to flourish naturally on its own.

Larry Field: Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview, Ont. J.13N 1S4 Dear Sir: We will be- unable to attend the Jan. 2; meeting of the MTRCA. We therefore request that this letter stating our opposition to any kind of development of the Spit (Tommy Thompson Park) be read into the record. We find the present Concept Plan unacceptable for the following reasons: 1. Any development of, or interference with this environmentally sensitive area will bring about the beginning of the end of it's unique wilderness state. 2. Six million dollars of public money should not be squandered in order to accommodate a minority group of boaters. ;. The boating community has adequate accommodation now, present construction at Bluffers Fark in Scarborough will provide more. If even more accommodation eventually seems necessary, then less sensitive areas could be found. 4. ~etropolitan Toronto already has enough cultivated parks and amusement areas. There is only one example of urban wildern~ss within this entire area for the enjoyment of those who are birdwatchers, joggers, cyclists and nature watchers. For those who engage in such quiet pursuits the Spit provides a haven away from the noise, stench and hazards of traffic. . 5. The wishes of the general public, determined by repeated surveys and input from public meetings, have been ignored in favour of those of the boating community. It is clear that the general public wants the Spit left as it is. The word "Unique" is often used to describe the Spit, in part the dictionary definition reads .... "Unequalled; single in it's kind of excellence". We must not sacrifice irreplaceable excellence to the demands of a privileged few. Yours truly, ~ lA .~ ..Lv .I\I~ dhcr ~~ ~tVW~ . RONALD R.

Metro Toronto Region Conservation Authority 5 Shoreham Drive Downsview, Ontario M3N IS4 Dear Sir: I notice that the plans for the Leslie Street Spit are moving into the final stage, and unfortunately, my hours of work prevent me from attending the meeting on Friday, January 23rd at 10:00 a.m. I would like, therefore, to have my letter into the records. I have examined with interest the successive mailings concerning the planning process for the Leslie Street Spit, mapping out in great detail the various options to be considered, and I have examined carefully the option approved by a vote of seven to three at the December 5th, MTRCA Water Board. I think I am representative of a large percentage of the population of the Metro area. My two younger children are avid sailors having gone through the Brigantine Association to the level of off icers . One of my other children and my wife and I are actively interested in Natural History. But all of us consider the most urgent need in the Metro area is the preservation of simple open space left as much as possible to nature. Consequently, when I look at the plan that has been recommended, I feel that I, my family and a large section of the Metro population risk being cheated! An enormous area of the Spit is being designated for car parking and marinas. Vehicle traffic is the curse of North American built-up areas, and surely this is one place where it needs to be minimized. As for marinas, the ones that currently exist are unattractive, fenced-in storage areas to which only members are admitted, and whose unesthetic appearance is an affront on an otherwise attractive place. Some marina accommodation there should be, but not 60% of the Spit and not nearly 1,000 cars. Vehicle traffic needs to be restricted and made as inconspicuous as possible. /2 2 When I look at what's left after subtracting parking lots and fenced-in marinas, I notice that large parts of the remaining portion of the Spit are to be closed to public access. Why should this be done? It is obviously necessary to protect the Common Tern colony during breeding season, but why more? And what does managed succession area mean? Personally, I find existing similar areas in Bluffer's Park and Humber Park sterile and unattractive. In short, you are leaving us, the largest segmen~ of Metro population who are interested in the Spit as a convenient place to achieve relative wilderness in the heart of the city, with virtually nowhere to go. The plan is worse than disappointing. There should be no need to exclude the public from any of "the areas other than that for sensitive breeding birds, and the onslought of marinas and parking needs t~ be drastically reduced. Yours sincerely, ~ Ronald R. Tasker, Head Division of Neurosurgery Toronto General Hospital /tk {RECe\lIEO J~" ~'...

We enjoy frequent visits walking, cycling and bird-watching on th~ Leslie St. Spit. It is a rare gem, a truly urban wilderness and we are totally opposed to spending millions of taxpayers dollars to destroy this asset. We watched the Don Valley when it was torn apart and paved over to become a gigantic parking lot. Don't let this happen to the Spit. Let~emain a Public Urban Wilderness for those of us who do not golf, own boats or cottages, but merely want to enjoy a few pleasant hours that the tranquility of the Spit offers.

January 14, 1987 MTRCA, 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview, Ont., mSn IS4 Dear Madam/sir, I am most disturbed at the Concept Plan for the Leslie Street Spi~ that has been developed by the MTRCA. The Spit is a unique natural area and the MTRCA has the option of preserving it as such for present and future city-dwellers who have very limited access to wild areas. The majority of Spit users go there to enjoy its unspoilt beauty in a car-free environ- ment. It is the only public urban wilderness on the Toronto waterfront, a valuable part of o~r heritage that should be protect- ed for the pleasure of the general population. In numerou~ surveys and public meetings, the public has said it wants the Spit to remain a Public Urban Wilderness. Why does the MTRCA listen to the minority voice of those who want to see it "developed" for various reasons, and not to the voice of the pUblic majority? I would like this letter read into the record for the January 23 meeting. At that time I hope the MTRCA will show itself worthy of the responsibility it has in deciding the future of this in- valuable natural area that belongs to !!!-of us. Yours sincerely, ~~~~ Mary R.

Re: Tommy Thompson Park [I would be grateful if you would read the following comments into the record at your Board Meeting of 23 January.] 1 am sure you have heard many times the various arguments concerning Plans for the Leslie Street Spit. Let me therefore make just 2 points that may not have been made to you before. The first is to put the issue in the context of recent thinking about man and nature because such thinking has profoundly affected the types of parks we have constructed in the past and are designing today. Hi.gh Park, in Toronto, was conceived by Howard in the 1870's at a time when our fore- fathers prided themselves in their conquest of nature. It was landscaped in a style similar to Central Park, New York. Compare that with Stanley Park in Vancouver, laid out 25 years later. By the 1890's the next generation was doing the exact opposite, so that most of Stanley Park . remains to this day a wilderness park. In the post-war era, and until recently, we have designed very functional parks with all sorts of artefacts built in. Now, sentiments are changing again with a revived interest in ecologically sensitive wilderness parks. Unfortunately, Metro's park planners seem remarkably insensitive to what is going on in the rest of the world. I travel quite a lot and have seen a number of these new urban wilderness parks. They clearly reflect what people want and they are by far the cheapest parks to build and operate. I si.lllply urge you to get with it. My second point is to reject the current humbug about "shared uses" in Tommy Thompson Park. The argument seems to be. there are several types of potential uses of the Spit park, therefore let us accommodate them all by designing a multiple-use park. But to be consistent you must then apply this principle throughout the park system, which implies converting parts of, say, Bluffers Park, Ashbridges Bay Park, Humber Bay Park, and 2 the Humber and Don Valley Park systems to wilderness parks. Either you are cODDDi tted to shared uses or you are not. The reality is that the other parks are exclusively functional, in design. If you are going to have an urban wilderness park, be consistent with your past and cODDDit the park to that use. The shared use argument holds no weight if you don't apply it to the parks system. I very much hope you will have the courage to grasp the mood of the 1980s and give to Metro a much needed wilderness park. Yours truly, -"~ (Professor) Glen Norc1iffe 0/302.-.3 ~~ ~ ~...--" ~,.

Alan Redfern Dear Sir and Members: - - .~ - Glenda Rosen Phil Sandy With respect, we submit the names we have gathered on our Petition Jim Smith campaign, mostly during October and November 1986 At Cherry Beach, Derek Wulff Kew Beach and Frenchman's Bay. We appreciate that the public input period took place in November and December of last year, but we feel very strongly about our case OFFICERS and want to make sure that you are aw~e that Tonmy Thompson Park would be a uniquely appropriate location for a Metro boardsailing John Darling, TWC centre. Nicholas Gobel TWC With the prevailing north-west winds in Metro, a site on the Sandy Gow, eBSC north shore of the Spit would provide the only absolutely safe location on Lake Ontario (apart from the inside shore at Frenchman's Bay) which is also convenient to Metro sailors and visitors to the city. We are at a loss to explain media and Toronto city politicians' lack of support for sailL~g activities as a compatible use of the environmentally sensitive area which the Spit is, and we hope remains. The lack of support for our popular water sport seems to be based on a lack of knowledge that the sport is basically very safe, especially if organized, and has potential to bring many newcomers into an active sport based on one of Ontario's greatest resources, it's lakes. This spring we will be preparing a study of boardsailing: its origins, history and rapid technical evolution, and the value of organized sailing in establishing safety parameters and promoting skills through competition. We would be pleased to supply information, or counsel from the many experts in the field with whom we are in contact, should you so reauest. In the meantime, we congratulate you on the public process that you have established in the formation of Authority policy, and express our support for developnent of the park along the lines of the proposed Option "D", expanded to include boardsailing facilities.

Board: Re: Concept Plan for the Leslie Street Spit I am asking that this letter be read into the record for the M.T.R.C.A. Board Meeting on January 23, 1987, 10:00 a.m. at Black Creek Pioneer Village. We are all well aware of the opposite points of view with regard to the development of the Leslie street Spit. The Spit seems to hold two possibilities for Torontonians: either leave it be as a Public Urban Wilderness or develop ;t into a Public Urban Playground of sorts. It would seem then that you, the Members of the Board, are entrusted to make a responsible decision for the people of Toronto~ a decision that will best reflect the interests of all concerned~ and a decision that will affect thousands of visitors to the Spit for a long time to come. I am most concerned with what amounts to privatization of the west embayment. Reserving this area exclusively for boaters and their cars reveals a deplorable ignorance and carelessness on the part of those Members who voted in favour of the Concept Plan. The cost of the plan is irrelevant here. What matters most is that the bulk of the overall funds necessary will be used in developing the lands on the west embayment. Clearly, such developments will not be of benefit to, nor were they requested by, the majority of visitors to the Spit. Sadly enough, the issue of the Spit has been simplistically viewed' as one of the "boaters versus the birders". One would hope that you can see beyond such trite observations. I see the true issue as being a lopsided allocation of the taxpayers' money in order to provide low cost boating areas that couldn't possibly reflect the needs of the majority of visitors to the Spit. I see no justification in catering to the expensive needs of . several hundred boaters when there are thousands of people who are quite willing to use the Spit with the minimum of capital inpu t. ...2 Page 2 16 January 1987 M.T.R.C.A. Board Members We are living in an age when the majority no longer rules. However, a vote to maintain the Spit as a Public Urban Wilderness would prove to me and thousands of other Torontonians that you do take our needs seriously and that you do conserve parklands for greater public use.

Dear Sirs: Please record my disagreement with the concept plan developed for the Leslie Street Spit. By adopting a plan which allows for so much car access and loss of virtually half of the wilderness area you are losing an opportunity which can never be re-created. An opportunity to allow a wilderness area to develop, unmanaged and uncontrolled in midst of a large urban area. There are too few places in the city, and no other on the waterfront that allow one to walk or bicycle over such a distance free from cars and other urban intrusions. By making half of the Spit available to boaters and their shore access, again more of the waterfront is taken away from the average citizen. My request to you is to: " Leave the Spit alone". It is so unique - we do not need more manicured parks; we do not need more of our shoreline to be accessible to the few. Do not throwaway this gift which has come along without the benefit of planners. Please read this letter into the record. Thank you for your consideration. YO~ sincerely, ~t~ )n ~ Bar ara M.

It ha.s come to my attention that your organization is planning to proceed with "Option 3N. CON'ect me if I'm wrong but I am under the ur:derstanding that this will allow the expansion of boating faci1lities, automobile IlCcess and actual oarKing on the spit. Frankly I'm dismay-ed at this decision. The Soit, has long been a favorite retr9at o-f mini. During warmer weather I frequently ride my biJ<e there, soaKing in the natl.:ral & quiet surroundings. Expanding Boating facillities & werst of all car access with PARKING would destroy this unique area. Why is it that your Authority is taKing the ONLY wilderness area on Toronto's water-front & spending 6 million dollars developing it for boaters? Aren't you a CONSERVATION Authority? Why do YOU want to develop such a unique area? As -far as the arguement goes of providing needed boating facillitin to the aria, that is unrta.sonable. There are large numbers of docKing spaces alrudy in Toronto but there is only one Spit. Developing the Spit won't solve the docKing shortage & it will destroy the a.ttraction o-f the Spit to people liKe myseH. I rulize that having a. bicycle as my mtlin means o-f transportation doesn't comparg favour ably to those people with the money to buy sailing boats, but I do love the Spit as it is & I feel that people liKe myseH ha.ve jJst a.s much rigli't to have an aru that we enjoy as the boaters already have most of the wa.termnt fer their use. So pleaslt reconsider the decislon to proceed with Option 3 & return to Option 1, lellving the parI< in it's natural state. ThanK-you for your time & consideration in this matter.

Toronto, Ont M4Y lK3 January 19, 1987 Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 5 Shoreham Drive Downsview, Ontario M3N lS4 Please read the following into the record of the MTRCA Board meeting of January 23. To the Board: I appeal to all members of the Board to overturn the Concept Plan calling for a marina and parking lots on the Leslie Street Spit. The Board has a unique opport~nity to preserve and enhance the quality of an excellent conservation area (it deserves that title) , which is accessible by bicyc~e or public transit to hundreds of thousands of Toronto residents and visitors. The most important feature of the Spit is that it provides such a contrast to the pressures of the city. Buildings are part of a distant view; cars quickly fade into memory; the breeze is more refreshing than at any other spot on the waterfront, because the spit is so wide open. The hundreds of parking spaces proposed in the Concept Plan, and the complete loss of public access to an unspoiled western shore of the Spit, spell the end of the tranquillity which is the Spit's greatest and irreplaceable asset. The environmental management areas proposed in the Concept Plan appear to be beneficial. But it is simply not true that they make the plan a reasonable compromise. What would be sacrificed, to the sole benefit of the small but organized group of sailors, is, I repeat, the irreplaceable essence of the Spit. I have not seen the full plans for the "interpretive centre". If it is to be in keeping with the tranquil nature of the Spit, it must be accessible only on foot/or tiy bicycle, and must not accommodate any kind of snack-bar. People who want food servfces can visit Centre Island, Sunnyside or the eastern Beaches; the litter and odours they bring are absent from the Spit: this is another valuable quality which can be protected simply by not meddling with it. Despite restricted hours of access and a lack of publicity, thousands of us have already discovered and enjoyed the Spit. Please don't spoil it for us and for the thousands who will discover it in the years to corne. Don't allow $6 million in public money to be used to push the public and the wilder- ness to the outside edges of a "public urban wilderness" that so many ot~er cities wish they had. Reject the Concept Plan, and keep cars and development off this wonde~~~ -If f/,"v{ 11/: ~v Ih/~ - t..J / tlt,,,",,1 tZ (-e) {;,1N-t I1;J1/ '3 iL January 22, 1987 Members of the Board MTRCA 5 Shoreham Drive DOWNSVIEW, ant. M3N lS4 Ladies & Gentlemen: Leslie Street Spit Since I am unable to attend your meeting, I understand that I can make a deputation by asking that my letter be read into the record during the January 23rd meeting. The recommendation by your Water Board to endorse Option D favours more cars, more boats, more facilities, and the spending of more money on the Leslie Street Spit. This flies in the face of the wishes of the vast majority of Spit users, as demonstrated by every newspaper survey and public forum concerning the Spit. To adopt Option 0 would be to ignore the Spit as an urban wilderness area of provincial, national and international significance. I strongly believe that you should adopt a far less intrusive plan, such as a modified Option A or the plan proposed by the Friends of the Spit. Not only is this your duty as directors of the conservation authority, but it would be a remarkable "feather-in-your-cap" as well. - - Sincerely ~p~ Steven Price ~l:CE"'en J_ 22 1351 512 Broadway Avenue Toronto M. f.R.e.A. Ontario 1'14G 2R8 11 January 1987 I'1TRCA 5 Shoreham Drive Downsview Ontario 1'13N 1S4 Dear Sirs/Mesdames, I write about the Leslie Street Spit/Eastern Headland. Please have this letter read into the record for the MTRCA Board Meeting on 23 January at Black Creek Pioneer Village. On 5 December, the MTRCA Water Board approved a plan for the Spit by a vote of 7 to 3. I urge you most strongly to reject that plan at your 23 Jan. meeting. Four plans were offered for consideration, based upon the developer's ideas and public input. They ranged from leaving the Spit entirely undeveloped (pI an A) to developing it to destruction (plan D). Given the conflicting aims of sailors and those who value the Spit for its undeveloped state, I assumed that the meeting would lead to some form of compromise (pI ans B, C) . I did not want such an outcome, since the Spit is unique as an urban wilderness in Toronto, a resource for many people and for plant and bird life, and just about all the rest of the waterfront has been developed. It seems to me unreasonable that the last remaining wilderness in the city, a human and ecological resource that is of great value, should be spoiled in the impossible interest of satisfying all parties, when the rest of the waterfront has been developed without any compromise or regard for natural values. Never the less., I expected a compromise. The vote was not for a compromise. It was for plan D, which is simply a disaster. Large car parks well up the Spit., a clubhouse and mooring for sail boats in what is currently the best area for many miles around for wading birds on migration., and an interpretive centre., it~f with car park far up the Spit., will destroy what those w 0 most use the Spit at the moment most value -- its peace., its richness in wildlife, its freedom from traffic. Birds will not breed., or even stop on migration., in proximity to such overdevelopment., so the interpretive centre at least will prove largely superfluous. I receat -- clan D is not a comDromise: it is a disaster: it involves the destruction of a uniQuely valuable natural resource of wilderness in the city: it caters to a minority that is already aenerouslv served elsewhere~ while the majority has only the Soit to enjoy alona the mainland shore; and it will cost more than six million dollars oT taxpavers' money to do what most taxpayers don't want. to do what comes close to the orivatization of public I and ~ This is inefficient. and indeed outraaeous. A split vote of the MTRCA Water Board is unusual, and at least recognizes that there are arguments against plan D. Please admit the force of those arguments, and at the meeting on 23 January, reject clan D. This is the last chance for the Spit, and your vote can save or condemn it~ Yours sincerely ) ~.

T.R.C.A. 5 Shoreham Drive Downsview, Ontario M3N lS4 Dear Members of the MTRCA: ~ Leslie Street Spit I am writing to urge you in the strongest possible terms to reject the developmentalist recommendations of the Water Board for the Spit and instead to vote to maintain the Spit as a wilderness area. To do otherwise would be a colossal failu~e of imagination. It would also represent a serious misreading of public opinion, which in the last ten years has turned overwhelmingly to the I support of the "let it be" concept for the Spit. At present, the Spit is one of the most beautiful and , interesting wilderness parks in the world, slowing transforming itself (where landfill and bulldozing has ceased) by natural processes into an environment very much like the waterfront of Toronto before urban development. In addition to its spectacular, unbroken vistas and its tranquil woods, bays and beaches, it is a a living lesson in natural history, a constant reminder of our fragile dependence upon the natural world and an affirmation of our necessary commitment to live in harmony with other living I things. I . In its present form, it is regularly enjoyed by thousands of people. I have gone to the Spit in all seasons of the year since the late 1969s when it was simply a narrow finger of landfill and it's become one of my best friends. If it were bulldozed in the manner recommended by the Water Board, I'd feel as if I'd lost a member of my family. For me there is nothing particularly attractive in the plan recommended by the Water Board. It will produce a rather ordinary park, similar to many of its kind, but it will take away the present opportunity for long, safe runs and cycles (as a lifetime Spit runner, I fear the days of parking lots and traffic), and I the serenity of the Spit as we know it. I It will remind me and countless others that the MTRCA is still a "development junkie", that it has still not kicked the dangerous habit of dominating natural, wilderness areas. Please leave it alone. 320 Huron Street Toronto Ontario Canada MSS 1 A 1 Telephone 416/978 3448 Thank you for your consideration. I would be grateful if you would read this letter into the record. Sincerely, ~ , W Bruce Kidd Associate professor ~ - I\ECt.:.~v~D :JAM 2~ B81 M. T .R.C..A, i , .mCA 5 Shoreham Drive Downsview, Ontario M3N 1S4 Dear Mr. Field, It is with an overwhelming feeling of pessimism that I again petition that the MTRCA retract its plan to turn The Spit over to a privileged minority. An exaggeration you say?? Perhaps, but no more so than the "claims" about access {lnd conservation presented in your current proposal. I am sure that different writers will voice- differing concerns. The point that rankles me the most is that public monies will be used to subsidize the recreational interests of those who own boats. Yes I have seen the plans and I know that ~ others will not be prevented from using the Spit.... on paper. The reality, however, will be quite different. As we know from other developments on the waterfront the paint will not be dry on the new facilities oefore fences and keep-out signs appear. This letter is written less in the hope that the MTRCA will change its mind than as a statement of protest. I would thus ask.you to be sure to READ IT INTO THE RECORD at your meeting on January 23rd at the Black Creek Pioneer Village. Thank you. ~ Sheila M.

ONTARIO M7A lA2 - 421-1810 965-4726 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY MARION BRYDEN, M.P P BEACHES- WOODBINE ~~. 23 January, 1987 To: The Chairman and Members of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Area Re: Recommendation from the Water and Related Land Management Committee on the Leslie Street Spit Today the Board will be making a crucial decision on the future of the Leslie Street Spit (Tommy Thompson Park) which will demonstrate whether it is truly a conservation authority as it has been in the past, or is becoming a development authority ready to give the Spit over to the development plans of the Toronto Harbour Commission, private boating clubs, hydroplane racing and a variety of other mixed uses. The Board has an opportunity today to get back to its original mandate-to be a public instrument for protecting our natural environment from erosion and destruction and preserving it for present and future generations to enjoy. Part of its mandate is to make natural areas and water bodies accessible to the public so that all-residents can participate in their recreational opportunities on an equal basis and without substantial charges. I commend the Board on its past work to fulfil this mandate. We have all benefited from its efforts. Our Environmental Assessment Act requires consideration of all options. The Authority's planners do not appear to have given adequate consideration to the options favoured in the majority of public submissions. The Water and Related Land Management Committee, in accepting the planners' slightly modified Concept '0' by a split 7-3 vote last December, has chosen a mixed use concept which will destroy some of the areas which the Authority has itself designated as environmentally significant. It has rejected the present car free milieu which is one of the main attractions of the Spit. I urge the Authority to reject the revised Concept 'D' and consider new alternative concepts which have been submitted and which seem to fit the Authority's overall goals for the Spit more closely. If the Board authorizes the planners to proceed with detailed. planning for Concept '0', it is quite possible that their plans will be rejected by the final environmental assessment because all options do not appear to have been considered. Both time and money will have been wasted and the needs of the boating community will still not have been met. i. =:f- oj. I recognize the needs of sailors and windsurfers for more mooring and club house space and some commercial boat services. The Authority and the federal, provincial and municipal governments have already done a lot to meet these needs elsewhere along the entire Toronto Waterfront. To meet the continuing demand for moorings the Authority should turn its attention du~ing the next 12 months to giving leadership in finding alternative locations which are not on the limited Spit lands. This responsibility must be shared by the federal, provincial and municipal governments and the Toronto Barbour Commission. The Authority can be the catalyst to bring them together. Integrated planning for the entire Metro Toronto waterfront is what is called for in the Authority's mandate given to it by the Provincial Government in 1970. The only way to achieve this is to enlist the help of the federal and provincial and local governments to bring all the players, including the Toronto Harbour Commission, to the table. Adequate opportunities must be provided for public input in the planning process. I was most disappointed t~at the meeting arranged by the Authority with the Toronto Harbour Commission at the request of participants in the September Workshop was not attended by a single Harbour Commissioner. Only Commission staff were present so there was no real opportunity to discuss possible policy changes with the Commissioners. The location of the Toronto Harbour Commission's proposed 1200 boat marina inside the Outer Barbour and close to the Spit was considered non-negotiable even though all the participants in the workshop had expressed grave concerns about its impact on their activities and its potential for water and noise pollution and greatly increased car access. Nor were the plans of the Toronto Harbour Commission to put an industrial park on the triangle lands at the base of the Spit or to hold their north shore commercial lands for possible, but unlikely, port expansion on the table. Since the Water Committee in recommending Concept '0' was prepared to consider a $6.4 million expenditure for development of a mixed use Spit, why could the Authority not consider seeking the same funds for acquiring or leasing some of the THC lands and other lands on the north shore in order to provide boating clubs and windsurfers with long term leases on serviced land which would have easy access from city streets. It might also consider leasing some of these lands to developers of commercial marinas. Most of the money for any development will have to come from the federal, provincial and local governments anyway. I would think they would see this use of any grants a more efficient way of meeting the boating needs. If this approach works, the pressure to adopt a mixed use concept for the Spit will be relieved. The Authority can then concentrate on preserving and developing this unique urban wilderness in southern Ontario to meet the needs of a very large regional population as well as continue as an important tourist attraction. .

Our club is one of four "community" sailing clubs in the Toronto area. it is a unique venture in which boat usage is time shared bet- ween club members and all club activities, from social to maintenance work, are carried out using volunteer effort. The club operates on a non profit basis and had its beginnings 20 years ago. The club has grown from a i. boat fleet to its present capacity of 15 dinghies. For a cost of about $ 200 . annually a member has access to lessons, training in race technique, and a wide range of social activities, all spon- sored at cost. Traditionally,sailing has been overlooked as an alternate form of recreation, usually because of the high start-up cost. The community clubs have thus opened the opportunity to experience sailing to the general public at an affordable cost and in doing so, have provided a fun and creative outlet for the talents of many of Metro's apartment bound inhabitants. I have come here today to reiterate the need for our clubs to find a secure and permanent home for our activities. For the past 15 years, the Outer Harbour has been our home through the generosity of the Toronto Harbour Commission, who have leased us property on the North Shore of the Out- er Harbour. However,this arrangement had always been intended to be short term, with an understanding that the sailing clubs would eventually be relocated to the new Aquatic Park, now known as Tommy Thompson Park. History, however, saw an interim tenancy develop on the Spit, which has become the focal point of the current debate on the future usage of this valuable resource. Al t'hough the precise details of the proposed plan are yet to be finalized, I would like to voice one concern about the proposed option at this time. In the consultants' recommended proposal, provision is made for only 2 club- houses at the designated site for relocation, despite the /2 fact that there is room for all 6 Outer Harbour Sailing Federation Clubs. Each club has its own identity and this would be lost if the clubs had to amalgamate. The quality of our operation is in part due to the diversity of our clubs and the healthy comraderie as well as rivalry that exists among the elubs. I would urge that the proposed plan make provision for separate clubhouses for each of the clubs. The sailing community in the Outer Harbour is as much a motherhood issue as is the preserva-cion of an urban wilderness. There is no argument that the Outer Har.bour area is a unique and exciting recreational opportunity and has room enough for all participants in this debate to enjoy. It would be a shame to let this chance pass us by. The Task Force from the M.T.R.C.A.as well as their consultants have now twice recommended a mixed usage option for development of the Park. 'We. the members of the St. James Town Sailing Club, support the proposal which is before you today, and urge you to consider the broader range of users of this area in your decision. Let us not delay any longer but get on with the task before us.

IF BULLDOZING AND ERECTING SHRINES TO THE HOLY AUTOMOBILE IS THE THE MTRCA's MANDATE, I'D SUGGEST A MERGER WITH OLYMPIA AND YORK. THE LATEST FRIENDS OF THE SPIT NEWSLETTER CONTAINS A MAP OF THE MTRCA's PLAN. ON THE MAP IS SHOWN A "MANAGED SUCCESSION AREA", THIS SECTION IS SCHEDULED TO HAVE "A VARIETY OF LANDSCAPES CREATED WITH DIFFERENT SOIL TYPES.~ ETC. WHAT DOES THE MTRCA MEAN BY -DIFFERENT SOIL TYPES.? CITIZENS HAVE LONG BEEN POINTING OUT THAT -DIFFERENT SOIL TYPES' ALREADY eXIST ON THE SPIT, NAMELY IN THE FORM OF UNACCEPTABLY HIGH LEAD LEVELS.

" . - GETTING BACK TO THE 700 BOATS -- I AM NOT OPPOSED TO BOATS. BOATS LOOK PRETTY IN WATER WHERE THEY BELONG, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEy'RE NOT SPEWING COMBUSTIBLE BYPRODUCTS. WHAT I DO RESENT IS THE EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC MONEY ON A PLAN THAT WILL CONVERT UNDISTURBED PUBLIC PARKLAND INTO A CONCRETE UMBILICAL CORD FROM THE CITY INTO LAKE ONTARIO, FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF A FEW PRIVATE RECREATIONALISTS. As FOR THE SO-CALLED "INTERPRETIVE CENTRE", we'LL ALL BE NEEDING IT IN ORDER TO INTERPRET WHERE ALL THE TREES AND BIRDS HAVE GONE. . I IMPLORE THE MTRCA TO REJECT THE 6 MILLION DOLLAR PROPOSAL. THIS PLAN IS' NOTHING SHORT OF A SPIT IN THE FACE TO THE 42,000 TAXPAYERS AND VOTERS WHO EVERY YEAR ENJOY THE SPIT FOR WHAT IT IS -- NOT FOR WHAT IT WILL BE AFTER THE DEVELOPERS DESTROY IT.

Foster Chairman lofetropolitan Toronto Region Conservation Authority 5 Shoreham Dr. Downsview, Ontario Dear I-Jr. Foster and members of the Authority: On 2' January 1987 you will be asked by the I>fetropoli tan Toronto Region Conservation Authority staff' to accept a proposed developcent concept plan for ToImDy Thompson Park (formerly known as the Leslie St. Spit). The Ontario Field Ornithologists urge you to reject this plan. The Ontario Field Ornithologists are a province-wide organization of nearly 600 members which goes beyond the mere promotion of birdvatching and. bird- appre- ciation. We publish an internationally recognized ornithological journal, Ontario Birds. and. oversee the Ontario Bird Records Committee, the most active bird records adjudicating committee in Canada. We are well aware that the controversy over the future of Tommy Thompson Park is often simplified to a "birders .(8 boaters" debate. However, as birdwatchers and ornithologists, we must reiterate our opposition to the proposed development plans for the Spit. The following points briefly outl1:1e our concerns. i) The plan shows the destruction of a designated Environmentally Sensitive Area: a small island and. adjacent littoral zone located immediately east of' Area D. This is an important area for feeding and resting by migrant and resident waterbirds as well as an area of intermittent breeding by the Common Tern, a species whose status on the entire Great Lakes has been dec'illiT'!g dramatically over the last few decades. We would object strong17 to the destruction of this area for a:rJ.Y'reason but especially for something as commerical as the creation ot more boat- ing facilities. 11) We- teel it 18 unfortunate that the Aquatic Park Sailillg Club was permitted. to move onto the Spit betore that area' 0 :fUture was decided. However, that is his- tOrT and we will accept it. But ve at%ongly feel. it would be a grave mistake to allow ~ :fUrther shoreline development or s.r:q further habitat destruction on the Spit. There are several other man-made pen1nsuJ.ar areas on the Metro Toronto waterfront: Humber- BaT. Brimleyand Aahbrid8es Bay to name three. All of these areas are totally devoted to non-w1lcUJ.:re oriented activities - none ot them have Im7 natural areas. We do not think it is asJd.11g too much to request that the Spit be-left' as is. without s.r:q further development. Surely' & ratio of at least ':1 for marina. pen:1nsulas to natural peninsulas on the Toronto waterfront is not unreason- abl.e. ~ - .. .. . .. Foster/2 w.) Lastly we are fearful that if the plan is allowed to proceed, even greater development will take place in 10 or 20 or 30 or more years. Commerical development has a waY' of mushrooming, zoning bY'laws can be changed and prettY' soon there wUl be no natural Spit at all. We urge you to stop development on the Spit :lOW; let the terns and waterbirds have their island area, let Toronto enjoy the benefits of a mostlY' undeveloped Spit mid let's try to make amends for all the natural areas we have destroY'ed. previously on the Toronto waterfront. In sWlllll8.17, we applaud the intention expressed in the plan for ToJDJDy Thompson Park to protect selected nesting areas but we ask you, ~;fr. Foster, to look beyond the short term approval you will receive from the boating communitY' for destroying wildlife babitat. Follow instead the direction of your name, the !'o!etropolitan Toronto Region Conservation Authority, and make true conservation your mandate. Vote against the the proposed development. Ask for Option 1, the non-development plan, to be presented in as much detail as the Option " the development plan. EY~m4ne carefully all that will be lost through development of the Spit and vote ~ to save Tommy Thompson Park, as it currently is, as an urban wilderness e..'"ld as one of the most significant waterfront natura.l areas on the north shore of western Lake Ontario.

VIeilIn are nay. Re: Phase III of Tommy Thompson Park welcome. The Toronto Multihull Cruising Club (TMCC) is a non-profit, community based, self supporting member organization devoted to the enjoyment and promotion of multihull sailing craft. TMCC is the largest club of its type worldwide. As a unique group of sailors in Canada TMCC is regionally significant. Today, the Full Authority is hearing many deputations, basically they can be divided into two categories: (1) Leave the spit as a 100~ managed natural resource park or (2) Set aside 82~ for a managed natural resource park and 18~ for community based activities, including public access, boat clubs, interpretive centre and parking. Let me review some relevant facts on this issue: (1) The Ward Eight Ratepayers Association (approximately 50,000 individuals) have passed a resolution requesting the MTRCA to relocate the OHSF Clubs onto Tommy Thompson Park. (2) The St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Association (representing 10~OOO people in Wards 6 and 7) has passed a similar resolution. (3) THCC and fellow OHSF Clubs are not rich clubs as suggested by the Friends of the Spit. In fact a visit to our low cost portable school house clubs would find we have no public amenities - a terrible potholed road leading into the clubs, IIJohnnys on the Spotll, no drinking water, and no municipal electricity despite paying taxes for fifteen years. This situation continues today because our current home has always been temporary. (4) THCC's first location preference has always been the Spit. Our second is the north shore only ,if a breakwater can be built. (5) A 100~ managed natural resource park will cost taxpayers over $1,500_,000 by the year 2000. To recupe this cost would require a $3.00 per head park admission price. (Roughly the price for a life- time membership to IIFriends of the Spitll). ... 2 Activ. member 01 the Canadian Yochting Association, the Ontorio $oiling Association and the Outer Harbour Soilim:r Federation Page 2 (6) The relocation of the OHSF clubs to the spit will generate over $1,000,000 in revenues by the year 2000. (7) There exists in MTRCA parks system more natural environmental resource areas than boatclubs and marinas together. (8) 53% of the Canadian population goes boating each year for a total of 100,000,000 times annually, and 44~ of Canadian boating is done in Ontario. (9) The Great Lakes account for 18% of the total world fresh- water supply. , (10) Hundreds of trucks full of landfill travel out onto the spit everyday and will continue to do so for almost a decade to come. (11) If the Friends of the Spit approve the concept of Aquatic Sailing Club remaining on the spit, what is their philosophical difference to the other members of the OHSF moving t~ere on yet to be created landfill? Ladies and Gentlemen of the Authority, the logical solution to this park is mixed usage as recommended by your own consultant and highly trained staff. Concept "011 meets the regional significant needs of all Torontonians. Over 60,000 Torontonians have voiced their desire in writing for a mixed usage park. Make a decision today on the future of Tommy Thompson Park, decide for all the people of Toronto and decide for Concept 11011.

OUTER HARBOUR SAILING FEDERATION 0 H S F BOX 313 ADELAIDE POSTAL STATION T M5C 2J4 January 15,1987 , Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation Authority. 5 Shoreham Drive. Downsview, Ontario . Dear Member of the Authority, On Friday January 23, you will be voting on the recommended Concept Plan D for the Tommy Thompson Park (TTP) and thus. indi- rectly for the use of the outer harbour. The Outer Harbour Sailing Federation (OHSF) represents 2500 sailors in 8 small sailing clubs which presently use the outer harbour. The OHSF endorses Plan D and congratulates the MTRCA staff and the Water and Landuse Advisory Board for achieving a compromise solution. Plan D almost totally preserves the existing natural areas of the TTP, while accommodating a portion the 08 sailing community on approximately 20 acres of additional reclaimed land. Our reserva- tions about the plan are provided in a separate document. The outer harbour sailing clubs are a unique resource for the Toronto region but tenure on their present site is not secure. There is no other protected body of water in the Toronto Re~ion which is suitable for most of the clubs. which cater for dingy sailing. I am attaching a background paper on the Federation clubs. because, the nature of our clubs and the fact that we have no locational alternatives. is frequently misrepresented by the Friends of the Spit. , Wendy Joscelyn . Commodore - OHSF , .. a The Federation clubs have provided extensive input at every phase of the TTP planning process. They continue to face vocal opposition from the 'Friends of the Spi t' . The naturalists have made media publicity attacks against the sailing community and have been successful at delaying the MTRCA planning process and in having some sound MTRCA staff recommendations altered. . None-the-less the sailing community has obtained support from a broader public. Both the Ward Eight Ratepayers Organization and the St. Lawrence Neighborhood Association (Wards 6 & 7) have endorsed these recommendations: 1. That the City of Toronto and the MTRCA guarantee the relocation of the Outer Barbour Sailing Federation Member Clubs to an appropriate land and water home on Tommy Thompson Park. 2" That the City of Toronto formally request the Toronto Harbour Commission to grant the Outer Harbour Sailing Federation a lease on their current location until alternative facilities have been provided on Tommy Thompson Park. The outer harbour is the only large body of protected water on the metro waterfront that is suitable safe learning environment for novice dingy sailors. The sailing clubs cannot exist without land on the harbour. The recommended plan, Concept D of the Phase III plan, provides for the needs of a portion of the outer harbour sailing co~unity for a site and for vehicle access. If this plan is seen through to its fruition, the outer harbour and TTP will continue to meet the recreational needs of a diverse population and contribute towards Toronto's reputation of being a world class city. January, 1981 I '... January, 1987 QP-en Letter - r~~omID~n~ed Concept tD' for Tommy Thompson Park The Outer Harbor Sailing Federation represents 2500 sailors in 8 clubs or sailing schools. The Aquatic Park Sailing Club is anxious to obtain tenure on Tommy Thompson Park, where it has ~.;.~~ existed in harmony with the other users of the Park fo_r 9...~er a ~ r ..../~.".:' - ,..,. decade. The other seven clubsrtiave been allowed to use, ana:' ~~.,,' ! i more recently to licence Toronto Harbour Commission industrial ~, 1 w~~ (:;.1 ~ ' lands on the north shore of the outer harbour. This arrangement ~ was with the understanding from the THC, that the clubs would relocate on the spit when construction and the planning process reached an appropriate stage. The THC and the city have evaluated several proposals for the development of the north shore industrial lands in the past two years. Tenure is short term for the northshore clubs and the THC has offered only a one year licence extent ion to cover the 1987 sailing season. The sailing clubs could face extinction if a site on the spit is not made available The "Friends of the Spit" have blatantly distorted facts about the nature of the outer harbor sailing clubs and about the public participation input for the Tommy Thompson Park (Dec 13 letters to editor in the Toronto Star). These non-profit. low budget clubs. which operate out of former school portables without municipal services. are hardly the limousine set portrayed by the "Friends of the Spit". The 3 community clubs and the sailing school cater to non boat owners The clubs offer Metro residents the opportunity to learn to sail and to enjoy a healthy, active, environmentally sound sport at an affordable cost. The public participation process carried out by the MTRCA staff, has been comprehensive and responsive. Eighty percent of the participants at the MTRCA Sept workshop and at the Nov 27 public meeting were sailors, and 12 out of 12 groups at the Sept workshop recommended car access and boating uses for the, eastern end of the park. The recommended plan which the Water and Landuse Advisory Board of the MTRCA accepted Dec 5, recognizes that the vast majority of public input has come from the boaters and not from the birders. The MTRCA staff deserves praise for balancing the needs of the boaters as well as those of the birders in their recommended plan. Plan D almost totally preserves the existing natural areas of the TTP while accommodating a portion of the outer harbour sailing community on approximately 20 acres of additional reclaimed land. ,. Z This solution is certainly more costly than previous proposals to accommodate boating clubs around embayment 'D' , however such measures obviously appeared necessary to placate the naturalists and to preserve a tern nesting bay. This additional expense is not at the request of the sailing community! Four hundred acres is a huge park. Less than 5% of this area has now been designated for boating interests This is a far step from the 'Aquatic Park' that was envisaged during the early years of construction on this massive landfill project! Affordable. non-commercial sailing activities fill an important community function Sailing brings brings relaxation. challenge. and fun to thousands of metro residents, which. in turn, contributes to their leading more productive and fulfilling lives The outer harbour is the only protected body of water on the metro waterfront that is suitable for novice dingy sailors If non commercial clubs and dingy sailing are to be preserved. they i must be provided with a permanent home in Tommy Thompson Park.

THIS, HOWEVER, IS THE TASK FACING YOU, THE FULL AUTHORITY OF THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGIONAL CONSERVATION AUTHORITY. TO BRIEFLY GIVE YOU BACKGROUND: THE ONTARIO SAILING ASSOCIATiON IS THE PROVINCIAL SPORT GOVERNING BODY FOR SAILING IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO AND REPRESENTS OVER 210 MEMBER SAILING CLUBS, SCHOOLS AND ASSOCIATIONS AND REPRESENTS'THE BOATING COMMUNITY WHICH IN GREATER TORONTO AREA NUMBERS APPROXIMATELY 220,000 PEOPLE. I THE POSITION OF THE ONTARIO SAILING ASSOCIATION AS IT RELATES TO THE OUTER HARBOUR, AND MOST SPECIFICALLY TO TOMMY THOMPSON PARK, HAS BEEN ONE OF STATING IN REASONABLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE TERMS. THE EXPECTATION OF THE SAILING COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE CLUBS AND SAILING SCHOOLS LOCATED IN THE OUTER HARBOUR. AFTER CONS!DERABLE DIALOGUE BETWEEN ALL PARTIES, THE WATER AND RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT ADVISORY BOARD OF MTRCA HAS ACCEPTED OPTION "DII AS PREPARED BY THE CONSULTANTS. ALTHOUGH THE LIMITED SPACE PROVIDED FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES DOES PROVIDE LIMITATIONS ON THE SAILING COMMUNITY; THE ONTARIO SAILING ASSOCIATION CONGRATULATES THE BOARD ON ITS WISDOM AND DECISION IN PROVIDING AN IDENTIFICATION FOR BOTH THE NATURAL AND THE RECREATIONAL GROUPS WHICH WILL UTILIZE THE PARK -- =, ~ IN THE FUTURE, AND AT THE SAME TIME, IN RECOGNISING THE FULL NEEDS OF ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AREA. I NDEED IT DOES FULFILL THE UNDERTAKING MADE BY THE MTRCA IN 1979, THAT THE AQUATIC PARK, NOW TOMMY THOMPSON PARK, WOULD BECOME A MULTI USE REGION WHERE RECREATION AND NATURE WOULD FUNCTION TOGETHER. THE ONTARIO SAILING ASSOCIATION HAS AS ONE OF ITS OBJECTIVES, TO TEACH SAILING IN AN ENJOYABLE AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS PRESENTLY BEING DONE IN THE OUTER HARBOUR THROUGH ONE OF OUR REGIONAL SCHOOLS NAMED "SAIL TORONTO.II THIS SCHOOL HAS TAUGHT THE BASICS OF SAILING TO OVER 8,000 PEOPLE FROM CHILDREN 10 YEARS OLD UP TO AND INCLUDING ADULTS. IT HAS PROVIDED THIS SERVICE FOR OVER FIFTEEN YEARS, A SERVICE THAT EMPHASISES PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN A LOW COST DINGHY PROGRAM OPEN TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND IT PROVIDES THE GROUND WORK FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL TO HAVE A SAFE AND EDUCATED SAILING , FUTURE. THE PROTECTED WATERS AT THE OUTER HARBOUR ARE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO BRING THIS FACILITY TO THE PUBLIC, A FACILITY WHICH - WILL BE ENTIRELY COMPATIBLE WITH THE TOMMY-THOMPSON PARK ENVIRONMENT. LIKEWISE THIS SAME PUBLIC INPUT IS PROVIDED BY THE SAILING CLUBS AND BOARDSAILING SCHOOLS WHICH USE THE WATERS OF THE OUTER HARBOUR AS WELL AS THE AQUATIC PARK SAILING CLUB WHICH WILL BE COMMENCING ITS 10TH YEAR OF OPERATION ON THOMPSON PARK. AS YOU WILL UNDERSTAND, SAILING CAN ONLY TAKE PLACE AT THE WATERS EDGE AND HISTORICALLY THE OUTER HARBOUR HAS PROVIDED THIS LOCATION WHICH WILL NOW BE EXTENDED TO THE RECREATIONAL LANDS AND WATERS AT TOMMY THOMPSON PARK. IN CONCLUSION, I WOULD ENTREAT YOU THE MEMBERS OF THE FULL BOARD , OF MTRCA TO SUPPORT THE PLANS SET FORTH BY THE WATER AND RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT ADVISORY BOARD, SO THAT BOTH SAILORS, NATURALISTS, AND THE PEOPLE OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO CAN ENJOY HARMONIOUSLY THE LANDS OF TOMMY THOMPSON PARK PLACED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF MTRCA.

BOTANY CONSERVATION GROUP c/o Department of Botany, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario MSS 1A1 and Kevin Kavanagh The Botany Conservation Group is a non-profit, private organization of faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Toronto. Formed in 1979, our group's mandate is to provide scientific support for provincial, local and national conservation issues, particularly those concerning the preservation of significant, endangered habitat for plant and wildlife species. We have come out in support of the Friends of the Spit BETTER CONGEPT PLAN because we feel that it is the best compromise plan if the MIRCA is committed to immediate action. We still believe, however, that all development for sailing facilities should await the completion of the Central Waterfront Plan. If the Toronto Harbour Commission is indeed subject to the provincial planning act, we believe that it is within the power of the city to see that Cherry Beach and the adjacent "North Shore" are retained for recreational uses including the community sailing clubs. With the excessive development in the Harbourfront area, one must assume that the Central Waterfront Plan will insure that the same degree of development is not allowed to happen all the way east to Ashbridges Bay. If such planning fails, than the alternative is for the MTRCA to put their funds to more effective use by purchasing these lands. Being convinced that MIRCA wants to act now and not to engage in such transactions, we will address most of our remarks to the advantages of the BETTER CONCEPT PLAN. First, this plan assumes the establishment of an advisory committee to prepare recommendations on the management of the natural resources area (as per clause #3 of the Water and Related Land Management Advisory Board recommendations). As our group originally proposed the formation of this committee, we welcome its inclusion in the plans. It is our understanding that ~ proposed changes to the natural resource area will be considered by the advisory committee in futur~ planning sessions. Our support of the BETTER CONCEPT PLAN is largely based on the compatibility of the suggested park uses and the z8Ct that this is truly the best compromise package. I would like to begin by clarifying our group's concerns with regards to the marina facilities proposed on the Spit. Our prime opposition to this development is, of course, the destruction of an environmentally sensitive area, a subject addressed below. Our other major concern is the land based area which is encompassed by the constructioD of the parking lots, and other shore facilities. In previous developments along the Metro waterfront, ~~ese facilities have become restricted to general public access. We understand and are sympathetic to the need of boaters, in a large urban area, to protect their property from theft and vandalism. However, on an area such as the Spit, the combined development and entrance restrictions mean loss of significant natural habitat, privatization of public lands and expensive subsidized facilities for a single interest group. If time allowed, we would illustrate the types of facilities involved by showing slides from Bluffer's Park and Humber Bay West Park both planned by MTRCA. - . The BETTER CONCEPT PLAN has suggested one possible alternative solution to the space problem facing the Community Sailing Clubs. The north side of the Toronto Harbour Commission marina, now under construction, has the potential to harbour dry sailing facilities with minimal design changes. Clubs established on this site could then share security facilities and the area would already be fully serviced. This would eliminate the very major expense of delivering and maintaining services to points beyond the base of the Spit. This also eliminates the need for car access beyond the base, another issue of concern to us. This Concept would seem to be a winning solution since it accomodates all interest groups and also indicates sound financial responsibility. Today, I would like to address the importance of keeping Embayment D, and the two adjacent islands, as part of the natural resource area as shown in the BETTER CONCEPT PLAN. At the last meeting of the WRLMB, we raised the point that the two islands, Little and Big Blokpoel Islands, previously designated as Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs). were slated to be destroyed in Concept D. Mr. Mather, in a recent detailed letter to Dr. Higgins, has explained that because no common terns have successfully produced fledged young on these islands since 1982, the islands are being sacrificed. Efforts at maintaining the common tern populations will be concentrated on the endikement area where 900 pairs nested in 1986. It is important to note that in 1982, the last year of relatively normal water levels, the Canadian Wildlife Service reported 562 nests on Big Blokpoel Island. By 1985, when space and good nest sites were much reduced by the high waters levels, 46 pairs of common terns still tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to nest. Based on this data, it may be predicted that as water levels fall to more normal levels Big Blokpoel Island will again have high numbers of nests. This is an important consideration because Mr. Mather fails to point out that the endikement will be in the hands of the THC for many years to come and that the bays slated for containment of dredgeate can not be managed for tern habitat for many years either. This and the increased weekend pedestrian and bike traffic on the endikement, once the cut for the dredges is complete, does not bode well for the health of the tern colonies despite careful efforts at management. Given the unpredictable behavior of such wildlife species, our group stresses that the Blokpoel Islands must be retained as an alternate nesting site. As a group of university biologists and environmental scientists, we are becoming increasingly disillusioned by the action of this and other provincial conservation au~~orities with respect to their role in protecting significant natural habitat. If there is truly a commitment to protect ESAs, how can anyone justify the removal of such designated lands for the purpose of development? In the case of the nesting common terns on Blokpoel Island there are bound to be fluctuations in the number of successful nests over time. A five or even ten year hiatus may be a mere instant in time with respect to potential long term nesting patterns. Shoreline habitat all along the Great Lakes is in a dynamic state and continually changing. As one example, Rondeau Provincial Park on the shoreline of Lake Erie is considered to represent significant remmants of unique southern forested swamps. High water levels cause mortality in the mature trees but this does not dictate that we enter the forests and cut down the trees. When water levels drop, the forest will regenerate as it undoubtably has for centuries. This highlights the well known fact that all plant and wildlife . . populations and habitat conditions naturally fluctuate through time. We recognize that as representatives of a multi-disiplined board, a biological background is not a pre-requisite for appointment but we would hope that you would seriously consider the sound biological principles which we are presenting in these public sessions. You can hopefully understand our utter frustration when poll after poll indicates that concern among the public for environmental issues is paramount and yet here we are desperately urging a conservation board to reverse a recommendation that would slate a known environmentally significant area for development. In conclusion, research scientists are too often criticised for living in ivory towers and avoiding application of their work to the real world. We are also supposed to be an unemotional lot. On behalf of my colleagues today, I hope we have begun shattering these myths. We continue to offer and extend our services to your authority to help with the difficult decisions regarding various actions on the spit. The decision which you will be making today, however, is of an extraordinary and serious nature. We don't know how we can emphasize this point more strongly. Based on sound biological concerns, our group implores you to reject Concept D and implement the BETTER CONCEPT PLAN. Anything less than this action will indicate to us that this Conservation Authority considers the natural environment as a second-rate priority. January 23, 1987 A Brief to the Metropolitan Toronto And Region Conservation Authority Re: Tommy Thompson Park (The Spit). January 23, 1987 From: Gavin Henderson Mr. Chairman and Members: Thank you for allowing me to make this brief presentation. I support the Better Concept Plan of the Friends of the Spit not only because it fits in with the wishes of the vast majority of the public who have been polled on what should happen to the Spit, but also because by accepting that plan you would be leaving open all possible options for the future. As I understand it, once MTRCA has fulfilled its mandate in relation to the Spit, new admini$trative arrangements will be considered. I do not know how much thought has been given so far to what those arrange.' ments should be but I do know that any substantial alteration of Tommy Thompson Park at this time, as proposed in Concept D. would foreclose forever what could be the most promising option of all; namely, having it come under the jurisdiction of Environment Canada. - Apart from ensuring greater prominence for this unique and valuable resource, both nationally and internationally, and the substantial economic spin-offs that would result, such an arrangement would be a far more secure safeguard against further pressures for development than if it were given over to either local or provincial jurisdiction. There would also be the advantage of having all this at no direct cost to the Metro taxpayer. ..../2 Page 2. As you know, Environment Canada already has a mandate to protect nature and natural landscapes of national significance under various Acts of Parliament such as the Migratbry Birds Protection Act and the National Parks Act. Related research and educational programmes are a part of that mandate. While I would not go so far at this time to suggest that the Spit become a national park it is worth noting that the living processes that have been at work on the Spit almost from Day One are the very same that right after the last ice age began the transformation of a wave-washed bar of gravel on Ialte Erie into what '\fa now know as Point Pelee National Park. Today at Pelee we see a climAX community of plants and aIlimA1S that is unique in Canada. What is happening on the Spit, however, is every bit u wonderful and in some ways, because of its location, even more so. There is probably nowhere else in the world today where the processes of colonization and plant and animal succession can be seen, studied and enjoyed by so many people so easily. In making your decisions today, please consider how they could influence one way or the other the exciting possibilities for Tommy Thompson Park that lie ahead. - /J /..1 I ,-'HL~_? . ,..---- Gavin Henderson -- ~-7 AQUATIC PARK SAILING CLUB January 23, 1987 Mr. Chairman and Board My name is Jim Younker, Commodore of the Aquatic Park Sailing Club. I represent the general interest and feeling of the membership of the club when I say we fully endorse Plan D. Aquatic Park Sailing Club's membership is approximately 125 persons, however, with our family members, we would number close to 500, and by adding to that friends and guests, we represent a sizeable active community club, frequented at least weekly by all memebers and their groups. So you can see our club has represented a very large user group in the Park over the last 10 years. Up to now we have not created environmental problems and do not intend to in the future. Sailing is quiet and clean, and does not pollute. The members of Aquatic Park Sailing Club also enjoy jogging, walking, cycling and the tranquility that the spit offers, even though it was made from rubble. The original plan by the T.H.C. for the spit called for this creation to be used for recreation and related acti vi ties. The spit is approximately 400 acres, and as it was stated by the planners so vividly at the last public meeting, the sailing community as recommended in Plan 0, would be approximately 10 acres of the existing area, much less than 5% in total. From Aquatic Park Sailing Club's point of view, we think the other uses are well represented and should be more than happy with the planners' recommendation. Aquatic Park sailing Club's position for the spit has been# and is today, that we are a self-help community club that seeks . tenure and self-determination. We believe that a portion of . the spi t, besides the location that we are in today, should be used for similiar type clubs for future development of the sailing community. If the North Shore clubs are unable to secure long term tenure from the T.H.C., we welcome them. Neither our club, nor the North Shore clubs are rich yachties, as the term has been exploited by some other interests so vi vidly in the newspaper and at other public mee'tings. continued.. . . Page 2 Aquatic Park Sailing Club endorses plan D for all interests concerned. We feel it is a fair and workable plan. We thank the T.H.C. for having the foresight to plan such a resource as this: the M.T.R.C.A. and Task Force, and all those concerned for the time and effort put into this project. Thank you for giving the Aquatic Park Sailing Club the opportunity to relate our message to you. We hope that you too will agree with the M.T.R.C.A.

'position a'l the issue of la1g-tem tenure for the sailing clubs on T.a.c. lands in the OUter Barbour. The Camlissioners' position has remained consistent since the early 1970's, when the clubs were pemitted to form a federation and establish a temporary locatiat on the north shore of the OUter Harbour until Aquatic Park was ready to ace> .....-:>date them. The established land-use plan for the Conmi $Sioners' lands and waterlots south of the Ship Channel reserves this area for port and industrial uses. The importance of the Port to the regional ecolXDy requires that its expansion/relocaticm ~ility be considered a valuable regional asset which must be protected. Similarly, it is essential to the local economy to ensure that this last remai.nirJ1 resource of in:1ustrial land enjoys a stable envirQaoent , free frail the pressure of potentially incanpatible ~eational land uses. . THE TORONTO HARBOUR COMMISSIONERS -2- In recognition of the dilenma facing the Authority in its park planning as a result of Olll~ting denands for space, the Camrlssioners have already taken a major step to relieve the demand for boatin1 activities in Tatmy Thanpson Park thra1gh the developnent of the 1,200 slip OUter Harbour Marina. The Camdssioners in turn expect the Authority to do its part to meet the deaand by providing aC-.;ulllLAlation in the Park for the north shore sailing clubs in accordance with the original intent.

THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY SUPPLEMENTARY PROJECT I FOR EROSION CONTROL AND SLOPE STABILIZATION IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO 1987 - 1988 - , , I NOVEMBER 1986 . --- CONTENTS OF BRIEF PURPOSE OF PROJECT BACKGROUND LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION COSTS AND FINANCING APPROVALS LA..'qD VALUES AGREEMENTS - 1 - PURPOSE OF PROJECT The purpose of this project is to enable the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to carry out repairs on the Massey, Wilket and Highland Creeks and the Lower Humber Channel. This work has become necessary as a result of damages from the recent 3torm events which occurred August 15, 26 and September 11, 1986. It is proposed that the work outlined in this Project would be undertaken in addition to the work proposed as part of the p~oject for Erosion Control and Slope Stabilization, Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto 1987-1991. BACXGROUND AND POLICIES On August 15 and 26, an average r.ainfal1 of approximately 75mm (3 in) fell on the Metropolitan Toronto watershed. The flood waters from these cwo events passed rapidly down the valley but left behind considerable damage and debris. As a result of the extremely wet month of August and the inch of rain received on September 4, 1986, the soil conditions throughout the area remained saturated. On September 10, precipitation from the storm began at about 9:00 a.m. By early morning on September 11, the rain had ceased with total accumulations ranging from 50 - 90mm across our area of jurisdiction resulting in the highest recorded river flows since Hurricane Hazel. A full analysis of the flows and floods resulting from the storm events is being prepared, however it is estimated that the average flood which resulted from these three storms is estimated to have a return period of between 25 and SO years. These floods caused excensive erosion damages to Authority property, Authority water control structures and Metro Parks facilities. Examples of the types of damages resulting from the storms can be seen in the attached photographs. The damages which occurred to Authority water control =tructures was the result of frequent overtopping and scouring behind our erosion control works and channels. Much of the work proposed will include the repair or replacement of damaged or failed structures, and will be composed of three types of works: (1) Complete reconstruction (2) Major repairs to existing structures (3 ) Minor repairs and cleanup. /2. . ACTIVE EROSION A'l' THE CONFLUENCE OF THE EAST AHD WEST BRANCHES OF HIGHLAND CREEK - AUTHORITY CHANNEL AND METRO PARKS PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE IN DANGER OF BEING OUTFLANKED - I . I - 2 - The estimate to repair the erosion of damages to Authority and Parks works is in the order of $950,000. This project is for the rectification of structure and channel works and should be initiated immediately in order to prevent further damage should another serious rainfall event occur in the near future. The policies and operational criteria of the Authority governing erosion control remedial works are clearly outlined in the Authority's Watershed Plan and in the Project for Erosion Control and Slope Stabilization in the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, 1987 - 1991- Works undertaken as part of this Supplementary Project will adhere to the policies outlined in those documents. LOCATIOlI AND DESCRIPTION The major works proposed in this Project are situated on Massey Creek, Wilket Creek, the confluence of the West and East Branches of Highland Creek, main branch of Highland Creek and the Lower Humber Channel. The locations of the proposed works are shown in Figure 1. Minor restoration will take place at several locations along the watercourse. The works being proposed are for the most part restorative in nature. Under this Project, existing channel improvements which were damaged will be either repaired or replaced, however it will also be necessary to protect areas which were previously unprotected. Where new remedial works are proposed or where the channel is completely reconstructed, then a typical channel section shown in figure 2 will be used. This typical armour stone and rip rap section shown in Figure 2 has been used by the Authority over the last several years and proved to be very effeceive during the high flows of August and September and therefore is being recommended as the form of protection for all the major sites. In some cases, where erosion problems are widespread on a particular watercourse and where a complete review of the watercourse is required to determine the best long term approach to the problems of channel erosion and its affects on park uses, then a study will be undertaken prior to implementation of extensive remedial works. Such a study is urgently required on the Wilket Creek particularly as it affects Edwards Gardens. A study is also proposed for the reach of Massey Creek which involves Warden Woods park (St. Clair and Warden to Victoria park Avenue). In these two cases, studies are proposed for 1987 and remedial works for 1988. /3...

A-218 SCHEDULE "E" PROJECT FOR FLOOD FROTECTION TYNDALL NURSING HOME, CITY O~ MISSISSAUGA. THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF ~EEL I THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY PROJECT FOR FLOOD ?ROTEC~ION - LITTLE ETOBICOKE CREEK TYNDALL NURSING HOME CITY OF MISSISSAUGA REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF PEEL NOVEMBER, 1986 CONTENTS OF BRIEF PURPOSE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION HISTORY OF FLOODING PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS COSTS AND FINANCING - 1 - PURPOSE The purpose of this project is to permit The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to exercise the powers afforded by ~he Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1970, Chap. 78 as amended to establish and undertake in the area over which it has jurisdiction, a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and lIIanagement of natural resources in accordance with the Flood Control Program of the Watershed Plan. The purpose of this project is to lIIeet one of the defined objectives of the Flood Control Program which is to provide in defined flo~ damage centres, on a priority basis, protection that will reduce the risk of flooding to less than 50\ OV6r the life (100 years) of the affected structurels). Protection to a higher level will be provided if econolllically and/or socially justified. The achievelllent of this Objective at the Tyndall Nursing Home will also achieve the goal of the Authority's Flood Control Program which is defined in the Authority's Watershed Plan as -To undertake a comprehensive progralll of Flood Control Designed to Prevent, Elimina.te, or Reduce the Risk of Hazard to L1fe and Property, while cognizant of the Natural Attributes of the Valley systelll. - Through this project, the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will implement flood protective works along the Little Etobicoke Creek within the City of Mississauga to provide protection t~ the Tyndall Nursing Home. The completion of these works will effectively elilllinate the risk of flooding to the HOllie. r - 2 - LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION In the development of the Flood Control Program of the Watershed plan, the Authority identified numerous sites which fell under the category of being flood vulnerable. The larger sites where integral portions of existing communities were flood vulnerable were defined as Damage Centres, while smaller locations which did not meet the specific Damage Centre requirements were defined as flood susceptible sites. One such site is the . Tyndall Nursing Home. The nursing home was constructed during 1975, south of Eglinton Avenue on the west side of the Little Etobicoke Creek (see attached Fig. tl) . The Little Etobicoke Creek has been altered both upstream and downstream by infilling and channel works. Upstream urbanization has also had a marked impact on the hydrologic response of the Little Etobicoke Creek As a consequence of the above alterations and changes in the floodplain at the Tyndall 'lite, the flood susceptibility of the Nursing Home has become a concern to this Authority as well as to the owners of the Nursing Home. As the site is a Nursing Home, it is felt that flood protection is a high priority and that the level of flood protection should be to the Regional in order to effectively remove any flood threat to such an institution. An engineering study of the site is being proposed for early in 1987 to identify the most effective means of providing flood protection to the site as well as to produce the final engineering documents and drawings to enable the Authority to undertake remedial flood protection works in 1987 It is anticipated that these works will involve some form of dyking and channelization.

A-219 SCHEDULE "F" . REPORT ON THE KEATING CHANNEL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE WATER AND RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT ADVISORY BOARD, M T.R.C.A. - MEETING #6/86 FROM J.C. MATHER, DIRECTOR, wATER RESOURCE DIVISION RE Keating Channel Environmental Assessment Process INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to summarize the process under the Environmental Assessment Act as it applies to the Authority's proposal to Jredge the Keating channel. The report identifies the main factors which led to the process spanning a period of 7 years. Recommendations are made which could lead to a more cost effective approach to achieving the objectives of the Environmental Assessment Act. The report is presen~ed in response to a request from the Authority to prepare a report on the assessment process as it relates to the Keating Channel Project. BACKGROUND The Keating Channel Project was the second major initiative of the Authority that vas subject to vhat is called a ftill, individual environmental a:ssessment. I:1 other vords, the project vas not covered by a.ny exemptions nor vas it sufficiently small enough to be considered by the provisions of s. more general environmental assessment designed to address a class of projects The first; fu.ll environmental assessment undertaken by the Authority was ~or toe Colonel Ss.muel Smith Ws.terfront s.res.. That process took a period of 3.5 years and involved an extended hearing b~fore the Environll'.ental Assessment neviev Board. Upon completion of the procesD, Authority staff prepared a repor"t presenting 7 recommendations for improvements to the Assessment Act process 'I'he 7 recommendations were as follovs. Ea.ch recommendation is followed by a brief comment as to the impact of the recommendation on the Keating Channel process. ! Recommendation #1 MOE be encouraged to continue, upon request, its assistance in informally reviewing ciocumentation for proposed undertakings prior to formal suboission as this is a beneficial exercise. Comment A reviev of the draft assessment was undertaken by the Ministry of Environment and it proved helpful in the preparation of the final assessment. Unfortunately, the reviev of "the draft took a.lmost a year to complete. Recommendation 112 , Approvs.l of a Conservation Authority's funding partners; namely the affected municipalities and MNR, be recognized as essential to the Authority and significant to the environment~l assessment process. !n addition, consideration be given to mOdifying Section 6(1) of The Environmental Assessment Act to accomoodate Conservation Authorities in that no other ~ approval shall be given prior to the environmental assessment process, or that an understanding be reached with MOE to the effect that the granting of conditions.l approvals (i e. subject to the environmental assessment process) is still in conformity with the intent of Section 6( 1) of' The Environmental Assessment Act. Comment The Ministry has reached agreement with Conservation Authorities that preliminary approvals, subject to the provisions of the Environmental Assessment Act can be given in order to establish support for Authority projects, from the funding partner9, prior to the expenditure of large sums of money on environmental assessments. . . 12 - 2 - Recommendation lI3 In order to help minimi:e any misconceptions and potential differences of opinions arising from the Government review document and in an effort to make the review document as complete as possible (a) the review document be subject to greater internal evaluation prior to its finalization; (b) the proponent be given an opportunity to review the reviev document and to meet with the review team prior to finalization; (c) the review document not be identified as the preliminary position of the Ontario Government but as the position of the staff of the various Ministries who ps.rticipated in the review; (d) the review document identify positive as well as negative aspects and areas of concurrence as '.lell as disagreement; and (e) the reviev document iden-eify dissenting vievs vhere a consensus of the review team does not exist or the original staff comments from the various Ministries be included as appendices. Cooment The Ministry nov take's a more constructive and balanced position vith regard to the government review. The review of the Kes.ting Channel Environmental Assessment vas conducted in a more open process and the Authority had an opportunity to review and comment on the draft document Recommendat10n #4 The review document not contain any conclusions or recommendations of approval or denial of an undertaking as this unnecessarily polarizes the review team's position The reviev document should set out the varying opinions that flov from the facts, vhether agreed or disagreed, and clearly define the issues to be determined by the Minister or the Hearing Board so as to minimize th~ length of a Hearing should one be called. Comment The review do~ument in the case of Keating Channel concentrated on the 'adequacJ.- of the il".formation a.s it concerned the ability of the Government to decide on the undertaking. The reviev, did nct recommend vhether or not the project should proceed. It identified areas vhere information may not have been complete but re~tricted the need for furthe:- studies where the information vas not critical to the outcome Recommendation #5 !n order to help incres.se the effectiveness and efficiency of an Environmental A~sessmen-e Hes.ring ( a. ) the Minister forward only unresolved issues to the Board, and The Env1ronmen-eal Assessment Act be a.mended to permit the Board to hold a pre-hearing to isolate the main issues; (b) issues and/or evidence not identified in the reviev process vould not be subseq~ently raised during the hes.rings vithout advance notice, or a specific ruling of the Board, (c) the Minister not present a neutral ~osition before the Board unless his purpose is solely to tender evidence in chief; (d) it be clearly indicated that it is no-e within the Board's mandate to establish Provincial policy but to apply or hs.ve regard to it in its deliberations; and (e) every effort be made to resolve issues betveen the parties, prior to e. hearing. .../3 - 3 - Comment Given the Authority's experience vith the hearing process under the Environmental Assessment Act, every effort was made to avoid the necessity of a formal hearin,. In practice hovever, the Neighbourhood's Committee of City Council almost functioned as a hearing board as most of the serious debates on the various issues occurred in that forum and the Ministry of Environment chose to alloy the City of Toronto to have the primary role in determing the outcome of the process. Recommendation #6 Consideratiop be given to the means by vhich the proponent cs.n be relieved of some of the costs incurred in a protracted hearing, particuls.rly if the proponent's case is successful. Comcent Since no ~earing vas required, there vas no opportunity to test the provincial response on the matter ot cost recovery. Recommendation #T MOE be requested to investigate means of streamlining its procedures to at least maintain and preferably shorten time requirements for the reviev of environmental assessment submissions. Comment The mechanism has not been streamlined in any vay and in fact the process took substantially longer for Keating Channel that it did for Colonel Samuel Smith. On controversial projects such as Keating Channel, there are numerous opportunities for the project to be de~ayed. REASONS FOR DELAYS The Keating Channel Environmental Assessment vas a complicated project involving 3 proponent groups, 4 levels ot government reviev, considerable citizen and political interest and a lengthy histo~y. Given all of these factors, there 7ere many reasons tor the projec~ to be slov in reaching approval. Several speci!ic res.sons that contributed to the delays are summarized belovo ( 1') Scope ot Stud:r There vas disagreement from the outset of the study vith the citizen interest groups. They vanted the study ~ include an assessme~t ot ongoing 1andtilling activities or the THC at the Leslie Street Spit. The assessment could have grovn considerably to include many o~her activities in the Outer Harbour area vhich are all interrelated in some vay. The Authority had to restrict the scope of the study to the Keating Channel dredging or tace yet another attempt to plan the entire central vaterfront through the aseessment precess. This decision frustrated the interest groups from the outset of the study and resurtaced again at several points in the process. ( 2) Credibility ot the Process The E.A. Act vas applied to this project because of the Authority's involvement. The other tvo proponents, the T.H.C. and Transport Canada are exempt from the provincial process. The T.iI.C. and Transport Canada faced a serious hazard to navigation and dredging had to be done. A disposal site for the aaterial had to be built. While the M.T.R.C.A. vas preparing the assessment, the disposal site vas being built and dredging vas being done. These facts alsc frustrated the citizen interest groups and some City ot Toronto politicians leading to lengthy delays and debates throughout the process. .../4 . - 4 - (3) Government Review Process The Environmental Assessment Branch of the Minis-ery of Environment serves as the coordinator of the Government Review. The actual review is undertaken by other branches of MOE, other Ministries, s.nd other agencies invited to participate by the Assessment Branch. In the case of Keating Channel, the City of Toronto WaS named as a review agency. As a result, throughout the process, when review comments were required, a staff report from the City of Toronto had to be des.lt with by Council before the comments could be forwarded to MOE. The process at the City commenced with a report to Beighbourhood's Committee. These meetings became the focus of citizen input to the process at several stages. In addition to the City involvement, comments from many Government Ministries had to be reviewed, and incorporated into the reports prepared by the Assessment Branch. This proved to be a very time consuming exercise at several stages in the process. (4) Authority Resources At tvo sts.ges in the process, some delay occurred while the Ministry of Environment waited for comments from the M.T.R.C.A. The initial prepars.tion of the Assessment documents by Acres Consulting Services cost approximately $325,000. Thereafter, the Authority had no project approval in place to raise funds for any further consulting assistance and therefore had to continue the E.A. pro~ess with existing staff. The preparation of the Addendum to the Environmental Assessment, which set out the proposal to modify the disposal site, occurred during the period of March to September of 1984, during w!lich ~ime the government review was essentis.lly sts.lled Simils.rly, the M.T.R.C.A. delayed the process to some degree in the ea.rly ~art o~ 1986 in attempting to negotis.~e more reasonable conditions of approval. ( 5 ) Scientific Concerns The major environmental concern throughout the process rels.ted to the significance of biological uptake of contaminants from the sediment. These kinds of concerns are prevalent in many aspects of society today, but the science is !s.r from conclusive. The health implications of many of the substances of concern are unclear and the biological availability of the material in the sedi~ent is also poorly understood. The lack of concl~sive science in these areas made it difficult to present ~onvincing arguments as to -ehe suitability of the proposed dredging and disposal operations. Unfortunately, most of the resources allocated to the assessment vere consumed in satisfying the process while very little vent tovards improving the science on vhich the decisions should be based. These are but a fey of the many factors that affected the timing of the process. The Authority staff position Ws.s alvs.ys to make every effort to resolve differences vithout a hearing. The costs and timing associated vith a hearing on a project of this nature could hs.ve been excessive. SUGGESTED IM~ROVEMENTS The basic intent of the Environmectal Assessment Act is a.dmirable, and the process requiring extensive review and input is demanded by today's societ;r. It is therefore difficult to make further specific recommendations to des.l vith the real cause of delays. The major challenge for proponents in improving the system is to make the public input more constructive and more direct. Resolution of technical concerns through direct interaction between proponents and interest groups has to be more effective than trying to reach similar objectives through the political process. UnfortunatelY', positions are often 90 biased, so politically motivated or so narrow that mediation cannot succeed. In these instances, the difficult political decision must still be made. If timing of a particular decision is critical, then the only way to force the process to move faster is to request either an exemption or a hearing. Experience ShOW3 the former to be politicallY' difficult on sensitive projects and the latter to be a very expensive option and no guarantee of a faster decision. . ./5 - 5 - The challenge tor government review agencies, if we are going to be able to atford to continue the environmental assessment process in its present form, is to expedite the review, identify quickly the fs.ctors vhich are critical to the decision and york to resolve them. The provincial and federal governments must also be encouraged to provide the basic environmental and health related research that forms the basis of decisions in environmental issues. - .

C. MATHER, DIRECTOR, WATER RESOURCE DIVISION RE: REPORT OF THE TORONTO WATERFRONT REMEDIAL ACTION PLAN (WRAP) COMMITTEE On January 13, 1986 Toronto City Council approved the establishment of the Toronto Remedial Action Plan Committee, a working committee with membership including Canadian Environmental Law Association, Great Lakes United, Pollution Probe, Stop Contaminating Our Waterfront, Toronto Island Residents' Association, Botany Conservation Group (U. of T. ) , Friends of the Spit, Institute for Environmental Studies (U. of T.), Toronto Field Naturalists, Sierra ClUb, reporting to the City of Toronto Neighbourhood's Committee to develop a remedial action plan for the Toronto Waterfront as recommended by the International Joint Committee. A budget of $52,500. to hire a staff person and support was also approved under the supervision of the City of Toronto Health Department. The W.R.A.P. Committee has now completed its report in draft and is holding a series of public meetings to solicit comments prior to their formal submission of the report to the Neighbourhood's Committee in early December The report (executive summary attached) contains 57 recommendations directed to the Federal Environment and Health Ministers: the Ministers of Natural Resources, Environment (M.O.E.), Municipal Affai=s and Housing, Transportation and Communications: the General Manager of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority: the City of Toronto Commissioners of Planning and Development, and Public Works: and the City of Toronto Medical Officer of Health. Authority staff have reviewed the report in particular recommendations 9, 25, 44, 45, 46 and 47 which pertain to lakefilling and recommendations 7, 41, 42, 43, 53, 54,and 55 which are directed specifically to the M.T.R.C.A. In summary the recommendations regarding 1akefilling call for a stop to all lakefilling until it can be proven that all lakefill material is clean, that stricter standards be set for confinement and stabilization of lakefills, that disposal fees be increased to cover the cost of testing all sources of materials and that all lakefilling projects be subject to individual environmental assessments under the provincial Environmental Assessment (EA) Act. Staff note that at this time all C.A. projects which involve 1akefilling are subject to the E.A. Act including the Colonel Samuel Smith Park which was approved under the Act in 1981. Staff also note that these recommendations were made based on the Eastern Headland and Endikement lakefill which is not comparable in engineering detail, physical and temporal (construction phase) scale to lakefills constructed by M.T.R.C.A. and is not representative of lakefil1ing in general. Nevertheless, extensive studies of this area by M.O.E. have failed to show more than localized turbidity increases and occasional detectable quantities of some trace metals and organics. M.T.R.C.A. studies at Bluffer's, Ashbridges and Humber Bay have demonstrated only localized turbidity increases and substrate sediment contamination during the construction phase of these parks. Following construction /2... - 2 - it has been shown by M.T.R.C.~. studies that these parks provide better habitats for fish communities than has existed in these areas for decades. Although local areas of degraded water quality persist due to the physical presence of the lakefil1s these are primarily the result of persistent contaminant sources unrelated to lakefil1ing such as storm sewer discharges, sewage treatment plant outfalls and river mouths. However, staff suggest that discussions continue among agencies to seek ways to improve or monitor the quality of material used for lakefilling. The W.R.A.P. Committee directed the following recommendations to the M.T.R.C.A.: 7. That all channelization and conversion of watercourses to undergound storm sewers in the Toronto Watersheds be stopped by consulting with local municipalities, townships and boroughs (p.44). 41. That methods of bank stabilization are implemented more strenuously in Toronto's Watersheds (p.l14). 42. That vegetation buffer strips be established along stream and river banks to minimize erosion (p.l14). 43. That eresion control guidelines be developed, publicized and sent to area municipalities for distribution to local developers and landowners (p.l14). 53. That the following programs for Toronto's Watersheds be implemented: a) A clean-up program designed to encourage the public to share responsibility for the health and safety of nearby watersheds 1 b) A high profile education program designed to make every citizen in Toronto aware of the importance of local streams and rivers1 c) A program designed to make local municipalities and regional planning officials aware of the necessity of protecting the headwaters of, and tributaries to, Toronto's Watersheds (with the Ontario Minister of the Environment) (p.l21). 54. That a youth employment program be developed to remediate the Toronto Watersheds by 'cleaning-up' the existing problems and enhancing their environmental quality, in consultation with the Ontario Minister for Skills Development (with the Ontario Minister of the Environment) (p.121). 55. That all Toronto area municipalities be approached to solicit their support for the development and signing of an agreement which would protect the chemical, biological and physical integrity of the Toronto area headwaters (p.122). /3... - 3 - Staff note that M.T.R.e.A. has programs in place to implement many of these recommendations and in fact is actively pursuing funding for erosion control and is working with municipalities through the Stormwater Management Program to ensure that proper sedUnent control practices are employed in all new developments. The M.T.R C.A. has cooperated with the M.O.E. in several youth programs designed to clean-up watercourses and has provided materials to various volunteer groups to plant buffer strips and undertake minor erosion control projects. Further efforts could be devoted, however, to the incorporation of urban -environmental awareness. educational programming in field centres and Kortright. Staff note that enforcement of adopted sediment control practices on urbanizing lands is difficult with the level of manpower available within municipalities and the M.T.R.C.A. and recommend that M.T.R.C.A. initiate discussions with municipalities in this regard Regarding Recommendation 55, Authority staff are currently undertaking a Rouge River Urban Drainage Study which focuses on developing strategies for erosion control, flood control and environmental management for the Rouge amongst provincial and municipal agencies which it is hoped cculd form the basis of such an accord. Finally, staff commend the efforts of the W.R.A.P. Committee in producing this report and suggest that the recommendations be given serious consideration by all parties concerned, particularly the M.O.E. and Environment Canada who are charged by the I.J.e. with the development of a remedial actior. plan for Toronto. Staff suggest that the M.O.E. - Environment Canada Remedial Action Plan Committee give serious consideration to recommendations in this report which are technically supported by studies such as the Toronto Area Watershed Management Strategy Study and consider incorporating these into an interim remedial action plan which could be implemented while the federal-provincial plan is under development. RECOMMENDATIONS: ! IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the staff report on the report of the Waterfront Remedial Action Plan Committee, a working group of the City of Toronto's Plan Neighbourhood's Committee, be received~ AND THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The staff report with the following recommendations be forwarded to the Toronto Waterfront Remedial Action Plan Committee, the Secretary of the City of Toronto Neighbourhood's Committee, the City of Toronto Clerk, the Metropolitan Toronto Clerk and, the Director of Central Region of the Ministry of the Environment: (1) That the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority continue to seek support from the Province of Ontario and it's Member Municipalities for its erosion and sediment control and stormwater management programs to reduce sediment loading to watercourses, and /4... a . - 4 - ( 2) That the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, through it's outdoor education programs continue to foster awareness of the streams and rivers within its area of jurisdiction. (3 ) That the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority seek to coordinate efforts of other agencies in developing watershed strategies for flood control, erosion control and environmental resources management. (4) That lakefilling continue on the Toronto Waterfront subject to regulatory approvals including the Environmental Assessment Act. ( 5) That the Authority in conjunction with the various agencies involved in lakefil1ing, continue to develop procedures for the placement and the monitoring of filling operations to ensure that they are done so in an environmentally safe manner.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this 'remedial action plan' (RAP) is to analyze the ..jor environmental problems affecting the Toronto Waterfront and to .ake recommendations to government agencie. . about what actions they can take that will improve or remediate the situation. Both the analysis and recommendations have been developed using an eCGsystem approach that take. into account, to the best of current Icientific ability, the needs and activities of all of the interacting components of the ecosystem (e.g., people, .ociety, wildlife, plant.). This Plan has been developed by a committee (the Waterfront lemedial Action Plan Committee - WRAP Committee) representing a broad range of interests and specia11ties in environmental aatters. It consists of the following: . a description of the five main waterfront problems (i.e., impaired use.); . an analysis of the sources of these problems; - . a description of the remediation objectives for each lource; . - a discussion of possible remediation strategies; and . . . specific recommendations to government agencies de.ilned to put these strategies into place. 1his Plan is a draft document that is being made available to the public for comment before the final draft is prepared for submission to the Neighbourhood. Committee of the City of . Torontp. The Toronto Waterfront extends from the mouth of the Etobicoke Creet in the west to the mouth of the Rouge River in the east, however most of this RAP focusses on the Central Waterfront . between the Humber River and the eastern limit of the Eastern Beaches. This area is used as a source of drinking water, for . . shipping and recreational activities for sewage treatment plant effluents, sewer overflows and outfalls, and as a habitat for fish, birds and plants. . Problems : The five maift waterfront problems (impaired uses) are: . a) Drinking water quality . - 7 - Octob.r 30. 1986 b) R.cr.ational water quality c) Aquatic habitat integrity ~ Aquatic biota e) -Fish consumption a) DrinkinR Water Quality All four M.tropolitan Toronto drinking water treatment plant. ule Lake Ontario a. their .ource of raw water. although the water quality at the intakes may vary because of their location. relative to sources of pollution. Setween 1978 and 1984, 83 chemicals were detected in Toronto's drinking water. Of th.... 28 w.re inorganics and S5 were organics. Seven of the 83 are human carcinogen. and 23 are potential carcinogen.. Malt. .pecifically the organics. were detected infrequently. Some of the potential carcinogens are formed by the process of - chlorination. used to destroy bacteria. b) aecreational Water Quality Beaches wat.r quality has b.en monitored sine. 1956 by the Department of Public Health because bacteria from untreated ~~.n waste. enter and pollute Lake Ontario. Since 1983, the.. te.t. have intermittently ~ound 10 much bacteria that at one ti.e or another all of Toronto'. beaches have been placarded to warn the public against .wimming. Thi. warning i. necessary b.cause the bacteria can cause gastrointestinal illne.s.. a. veil as skin. .ar, nose. .ye and throat lnfections. c) Aquatic Habitat Integrity The Toronto Waterfront and its Watersheds provide aquatic habitats for plant. animal and fish life. although there are DOW few high quality habitats r.maining. The los. of these habitats i. due to the many stresses on the ecosystem. The ao.t significant str..s.. are those associat.d with ext.nsive urbanization. including the physical restructuring of the Waterfront and it. Watersheds for intensive industrial and re.ident1al development. d) Aquatic Biota Monitoring has shown that aquatic life 1n the Toronto Waterfront is contaminated with organlc chemicals including . ; PCBS. DOT, SHC and chlordane. Monitoring these contaminant 1 concentrations is a rel~tively easy method of detecting I changes in water and sediment quality. Concentrations 1n fish I \ - 8 - October 30. 1986 a~eTu.ed to provide advice on consumption levels for huaans. This monitoring has shown that aquatic life in the Toronto Waterfront is contaminated with organic chemicals including PCBs. DOT. BHC and chlordane. Provinc1al water quality I objectives have been established to protect aquati~ life. however. they are unenforceable. and are only set for a few che.icals. In. addition. they use the concept of '.ixing zones' where the objectives do not have to be .et and they do . Dot recognize additive or synergistic effects caused by exposure to more than one che.ical. e) Fish Consumption Sport fishing in the Toronto Waterfront is popular. although there are restrictions on the consumption of different sizes of eight fish species. The Ontario Ministry of the EDvionment's "Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish" is published every year and contains recommendations on consumption of fish caucht in Ontario's lakes. The guide is based on analyses of fish. however, samples are analysed for a relatively small Dumber of chemicals. Only the lean dorsal muscle tissue is analysed. however other parts of the fish are likely to contain higher concentrations of contaminants. . . Sources of Contaminants Th. WRAP Committee established 9 sources of the proble.s outlined above: - 1) Storm sewer discharges 2) Coabined sewer discharges 3) Sewage treatment plant effluents 4) Sedi..nts 5) Lakefill 6) Atmospheric deposition 7) Toronto's Watersheds 8) The Niagara River ~ 9) Lack of Ecosystem Management !) Storm Sewer Oischar~es I Storm sewers carry storm and surface water runoff to a i ~ . receiving water body, such as a stream, river or lake. Most I. 1 of these sewers carry dry and wet weather flow. Dry weather 1 I I \ , I I - 9 - October 3D, 1986 I I t . I flow usually results from groundwater infiltration, lndustrial , discharges, spllls and illegal connectlons from sanitary I Both dry and wet weather dlscharges are signiflcant I sewers. I sources of bacterla and chemlcals to receiving water bodies. ; I Kore data are available on concentrations ln dry weather than J I in wet weather conditions. I i i 2) Combined Sewer Discharges I Combined sewers carry both sanitary and storm water to sewage I i treatment plants. Although they contain overflow structures 1 to handle large flows during rainfall events, these structures I release. untreated bacteria and chemicals to the Toronto , I Waterfront. ! 3) Sewage Treatment Plant Effluents The four sewage treatment plants ln Metropolitan Toronto ; discharge directly to the Waterfront (except the North Toronto plant WhlCh discharges lndlrectly Vla the Don River). When effluents recelve full treatment they conta~n a few bacteria, but during prolonged or lntense rainfall the excess flow receives only partial treatment. This results in excess , fecal collform counts. Sewage treatment plants also routlnely '. discharge a wide variety of chemlcals, and are the largest , source or chemical contamlnants and suspended SOllds to the Toronto Waterfront. -4) Sediments The sediments in the Toronto Waterfront are generally contaminated because pollutants from different sources settle out in the area. The Outer Harbour sedlments are the least contaminated and the Inner Harbour are the most contaminated. Many exceed the provincial open water disposal guidelines. The sediments in the inner Harbour ~re routlnely dredged for navigational purposes by the Toronto Harbour commissioners. Final approval to dredge the Keatlng Channel was received in September, 1986, and as a result extensive dredglng cannon i begin until the dredgeate disposal site on the Eastern Headland is made more secure by closlng it to the lake. I I 5) Lakefill I I . i The configuration (shape) of the Toronto Waterfront has been i I altered substantially by lakefilling. Much of this I lakefilling has been done by the Toronto Harbour I I Commissioners, although since 1971 the Metropolltan Toronto i and Region Conservation Authorlty have also been lnvolved. A signif~cant proportlon of lakefl11 from the Toronto area is contaminated and programs to screen out contamlnated material have not been successful. Although new wildlife and flsh I I I I i ! - 10 - October 30, 1986 I I I i I - habitats have been created in lakefill embayment" they trap aediments and effluents from pOlnt sorces of contaminants. 6) Atmospheric Deposltion A wide variety of chemicals in the atmosphere are constantly falling out onto land and water. Sources of contamlnants ~ the atmosphere include incinerators and automobile emisslons. Contaminants can be deposited either close to the original sources or many thousands of miles away. There are likely to be both local and remote sources of contaminants affecting the Toronto Waterfront although the extent of this problem is not . fully documented. In Ontario, atmospheric emissions are controlled by Regulation 308, which is currently being revised. 7) Toronto's Watersheds There are six Watersheds within the geographical boundaries of this RAP: Etobicoke Creek, Mimico Creek, Humber River, Don River, Highland Creek and the Rouge Rlver. Because they drain surface runoff and groundwater, they are all sources of contaminants to the Toronto Waterfront. 8) The Nia~ara River . The Niagara River is the main source of water to Lake Ontario, - and accounting for 84% of the incoming flow. Industrialization of the Niagara region, particularly on tho U.S. side, has resulted in significant environmental ~egradation of the Niagara River the surrounding area, and Lake Ontario. However, it is unclear to what extent these are affecting the Toronto Waterfront. 9) Lack of Ecosystem Hana~ement The Toronto Waterfront and its Watersheds are managed by approximately 13 different municipal, provincial and federal government agencies. This has resulted in an extreme fragmentation of responsibilities, and a lack of an integrated ecosystem perspective. Remediation GQals The WRAP Committee has established goals for the remediation of the Toronto Waterfront. These are based on the principles that there should be no discharge of contamlnants, and that existing contaminants should be cleaned-up to provide fishable, drlnkable and sWlmmable water. I I ! I I - 11 - October 30, 1986 i , i RemediatIon Objectives and Strategles I RemedIation obJectIves, strategies and recommendatIons are I discussed for each of the sources of contamInants. I j I 1) Storm Sewer DIscharges I Among the many possible remedIation strategies for storm sewer j I dIscharges, the WRAP Committee is recommendIng the following: I Increase maintenance work to mInimIze Infiltration of - I groundwater to storm sewers ! I j - Prohibit industries from discharg~ng wastewater to storm , I sewers I - Initiate a domestic hazardous waste collection service - Construct detentlon and/or retention facilities - Increase frequency of catch basin cleanIng 2) Combined Sewer Discharges The WRAP CommIttee is recommending that the OMOE should I establish and enforce pretreatment standards for all types of industries dIscharging to municipal sewer systems. These would be simIlar to the Municipal-Industrial Strategy for Abatement and would supplement existing sewer-use by-laws. The Committee is of the opinIon that although there are some benefits associated with sewer separatIon, the dIrect discharge of untreated storm water can have adverse effects when large amounts of untreated stormwater enter receIving water bodIes. 3) Sewage Treatment Plant Effluents I The quality of sewage treatment plant effluents should be improved by regulating the discharge of chemicals from j industrIes to the sewer system. Further improvements would 1 result frm imprOVIng the performance of all sewage treatment I plants. I 4) SedIments I I I The most important remedIal strategIes for sediments are those I I j that reduce the amounts of sediments. transported into the ! Waterfront. These include using natural methods of bank ! stabilizatIon and erOSIon control gUIdelInes. It will also be necessary to clean-up eXIstIng In-place pollutants. \ - - 12 - October 30, 1986 . S) Lakefill - The WRAP Committee recommends that lakefilling should be minimized and should not be permitted at all unless all of the following conditions are met: - Protective armouring is in place prior to the disposal of takefill to protect shorelines. - Existing lakefil1ed shorelines are fully armoured and stabilized. - Standards are developed and enforced for all material . di.posed of at lakefilling sites. - Only fill shown to meet these standards is used. - All proposed lakefi11 projects are subject to full - environmental assessment, with public partlclpation. - All aquatic habitats created are clean and environmentally healthy. 6) Atmospheric Deposition . Atmospheric deposition could be reduced by developing and enforcing new alr quality standards at the provincla1, federal - and international levels or government. These standards should require the use of 'best available technology' to reduce emissions at source. 7) Toronto's Watersheds Many of the remedial strategies and recommendations on .ediments and sewers would also remediate Toronto's Watersheds. In addition, the WRAP Committee is rocommending that programs be initiated to make the public aware of local watersheds and to encourage them to participate in remediation efforts. 8) The Niagara River This 'remedia~ action plan' is not intended to contain a ! comprehensive remediation plan for the Nlagara Rlver. Although the River is probably affecting the Toronto Waterfront, other sources of contamlnants are likely to be more detrimental. The WRAP Committee is of the oplnion that a .eparate RAP for the Nlagara Rlver should be developed and implemented as soon as poss i'ble. I . \ I I i i I - 13 - October 30. 1986 j 1 ! 9) Lack of Ecosystem Management I The WRAP Committee belleves that the remediation of the ; I ~ Toronto Waterfront should be dlrected and monitored by a ! i multi-agenty task foree, with a mandate for ecosystem 1 I management. Such a task force should be jOlntly coordinated 1 by the Ontario Ministry of the Envlronment and the Ontario .. i Ministry of Natural Resources and lnclude public \ participation. \ RECOMMENDATIONS !

MATHER, DIRECTOR, WATER RESOURCE DIVISION RE PRICING POLICY CONSERVATION SERVICES PROGRAM The following report outlines a pricing pOlicy for Conservation Services programs provided under the Conservation Land Management Program of the Watershed Plan for private landowners. The Conservation Land Management program of the Watershed Plan identifies an objective to provide technical assistance and advisory services to private landowners in an effort to maintain sound conservation management practices and benefits on all lands within the region. Private landowners continue to playa significant role in assisting the Authority in achievfng resource management objectives throughout the watershed. Each year technical staff respond to over 200 requests for technical advice and assistance. Conservation Services programs have responded to the continuous changes in land use throughout the watershed since 1957 and are developed to react to the management concerns of landowners and the Authority. Many of the programs offered in the early '60's reflected the high agricultural 1anduse in the headwaters of the Authority's jurisdiction. Today the programs are geared more to the hobby farmer and larger tracts of land u~ed primarily for residential purposes. Private landowners have assisted the Authority in meeting Objectives for water management and sediment control through the planting of reforestation trees, farm trees and shrubs and streambank erosi~n control projects. Fisheries and wildlife Objectives have also been met by encouraging landowners to utilize sound land management practices and by carrying out site specific projects. To encourage private landowners to participate in resource management projects many of the programs have been subsidized at various rates to make the. economically feasible. Higher subsidies are primarily given to programs that provide the most significant benefits to the watershed as a whole and are carried out in priority areas. Programs that provide direct benefit to the landowner require 100~ contribution. Farm tree and shrub, tree spade rentals are examples of successful programs where there is no incentive subsidy provided. The benefits to the Authority in mp.eting objectives is realized in the cumulative effect throughout the watershed on resource management. Incentive subsidies are provided where greater and more immediate benefits to the Authority can be achieved such as sediment control and reforestation assistance. The investment by t~e landowner also acts as an incentive for continued maintenance and enhancement of the individual projects by the owner. Each program offereo by the Authority requires landowners to adhere to a variety of rules and regulations that ensure the success of individual programs. In the past programs were offered on a first come first served basis Today staff have priorized watersheds based on needs and benefits related to Authority objectives In establishing a pricing pOlicy for the Resource Management Section programs, it is accepted that revenues generated from landowner contrib~tions enable the Authority to enhance program effectiveness by increasing the number and size of projects that can be implemented. It is also recognized that landowner contributions are based on the landowner's willingness to pay and the overall benefits to the watershed of an individual project. The following goals have been established in determining price setting on the private lands assistance progra.: 1- That the percentage of landowner contribution for a program for a project should reflect the relative benefit to the Authority in meeting its watershed Objectives. . . . . ./2 - 2 - 2. That the pricing of projects and programs be used as a management tool to increase the effectiveness of resource management activities through the generation of revenues while maintaining project affordability Following is a brief review of each of the landowner asistance programs and a recommended landowner contribution FARM TREE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM As the name suggests. the Farm Tree Replacement Program's original objective was to assist in replacing the elms in the rural portions of the Authority's watershed that were devastated by Dutch Elm Disease. Subsequently. the Objective has been expanded to include erosion and sediment control. wildlife habitat diversification and expansion. rehabilitation of disturbed lands. and aesthetic enhancement of the watersbed. The program was first offered in 1962 and over 125,000 trees have been planted since that date Landowners with two (2) or more hectares of land may purchase a maximum of twenty-five (25). five to six foot (5'-6') deciduous trees per hectare owned. No plantings are permitted within two hundred feet (sixty metres) of a residence. The Authority contributes a technical advisory service on species selection. planting locations. and maintenance procedures. The landowner contribution is considered appropriate in this instance since it is related to materials and labour costs for program delivery and because of the degree of benefit that accrues durectly to the landowner in improved property values and enhanced quality of life. The benefit to the Authority is realized in the increase variety of plant sepcies being planted across the watershed, increased habitat, diversity for wildlife. sediment control and erosion control. The Authority plants 3.000 - 4.000 farm trees annually and recovers 100' of the project costs from the landowner. The cost to the landowners is approximately $600.00 per project. Staff recommend the Authority continue to provide a Farm Tree Replacement Program funded by a 100~ landowner contribution PRIVATE LAND REFORESTATION PROGRAM The MTRCA has offered a reforestation planting service on private lands continuously since 1957. Today in that period over 5,200,000 trees have been planted throughout the headwaters of the Authority's jurisdiction. This program contributes to the achievement of the Authority's objectives of water management, renewable resource management, water quality improvement, erosion and sediment control, wildlife habitat improvement, and aesthetic enhancement of the watershed. To be eligible. the applicant must have a minimum of two (2) hectares of land and agree to refrain from cutting the trees for fifteen (15) years. Trees are purchased by the landowner from the Ministry of Natural Resources. The Authority provides technical advice. piCkS up trees at the MNR nursery and plants them at a cost of $.05 each for machine planting. or $.10 each for hand planting Revenues received from landowner contributions offset project expenditures by 33~ In a 1983 rural landowner survey, 87.5~ of the landowners polled stated that thety would be willing to pay this rate to have their property reforested. A landowner contribution is considered appropriate and desirable in this instance because of the benefits that accrua indirectly to the landowners through this program. Experience has shown that landowners who make a financial contribution take a more active role in maintaining the plantings. The level of the landowners contributions is traditional. dating back to the inception of the program. An average survival rate of 85S demonstrates the success of the program and the impact of reforestation on sedi.ent centrol and reducing run-off yield has been well documented. The Authority plants approximately 120,000 trees annually In recent years average plantings have incresed from 2,000 per landowner on average to . . ../3 - 3 - 5,000 - 7,000 trees per landowner. The larger the planting tne more efficient is the project in terms of cost per unit By increasing and improving project efficiency, staff have been able to maintain a constant fee to landowners for planting assistance As efficiency has increased, less travel between properties, larger plantings, more efficient machinery, revenues continue to offset 33~ of the project expendi tures. Demand for the program continues to be very high. Staff recommend the Authority continue to subsidize the private land reforestation program and that the landowner contribution offset planting costs by 331. REFORESTATION SUBSIDY The Authority offers a reforestation subsidy program to private landowners who purchase seedling tree stock from the Ministry of Natural Resources and plant them on their own lands without the assistance programs. Landowners apply for the subsidy after planting, and a subsidy equal to the purchase price of the seedling stock is paid after site inspection and approval by Authority staff The intent of this program has been to encourage landowners to establish plantations on their lands and to recognize the benefits that these plantings provide in achieving Authority objectives by offering this limited financial support. From an Authority perspective, the reforestation subsidy represents an economical method of encouraging reforestation, but circumstances have changed and reduced its appeal to landowners Most landowners have neither the technical knowledge, equipment or labour to plant two or more acres of land in reforestation, and as is noted under Private Land Reforestation, most landowners are quite willing to pay for the Authority's planting program. Only one application has been rece~ved each year for the past several years Staff recommended the Authority discontinue the reforestation subsidy program. WILDLIFE AND EROSION CONTROL SHRUB PROGRAM The planting of shrubs on ~rivate lands in the MTRCA watershed contributes to the achievement of many Authority objectives. These include erosion and sediment control, water quality improvement, wildlife habitat improvement, disturbed land reclamantion, peak flow reduction in streams, improved fish habitat, and aesthetic enhancement of the watershed The shrubs are available to the landowners with two (2) or more hectares of land, and they must purchase a minimum of 100 shrubs in anyone year. No plantings are approved within 200 feet (60 metres) of a residence. The max i mum purcnase is limited by supply and suitable, approved planting sites on the property The landowner pays $1.25 each for the purchase of the shrubs and the planting service, which covers 1001 of this portion of the program. The Authority contributes technical advice during site meetings on species selection and planting locations. Information is also provided to identify disease, insect or nutrient related problems. Landowners place a high value on the wildlife, aesthetic, and other quality of life benefits they recieve from this program. Where erosion and sediment control is a function of the planting, landowners particularly appreciate the value of the program. Staff recommend that the Authority continue to provide a wildlife and erosion control shrub program funded by a 1001 landowner contribution SEDIMENT CONTROL Initiated in 1962 over 14 km of streams have been stabilized to date. The primary objective of the sediment control program is to reduce sediment loading in streams and rivers. The problems associated with sediment throughout the watrershed have been identified as 1- provides a substrate for fecal and other contaminants including industrial and agricultural residues. 2. degrades water quality below the tolerance levels of biologically demanding aquatiC species, . . . . ./4 - 4 - 3 reduces the reproductive success of aquatic species; 4. renders water unfit for human consumption and necessitates elaborate treatment facilities to improve water quality, 5. degrades the aesthetic value of a waterbody, 6. reduces the life expectancy of water management structures, i e dams and reservoirs, 7 sediment accumulations impede the movement of water through river channels resulting in flooding and maintenance problems. The program includes an on-stream sediment control component featuring grade and rip rap techniques and off-stream component including cattle access control and the establishment of buffer strips along stream courses. Project costs vary according to the extent of the problem. A typical project costs between $5,000 and $6,000. The benefits to the public have a watershed wide implication and therefore the program is subsidized 90\ to encourage landowner participation. The Authority maintains the project for one year The landowner contribution of 10\ ensures an incentive for continous maintance. Failure of sediment control projects has been very mimina1 over the life of the program. Due to limited funding the landowners may wish to contribute a greater percentage, to accomodate completing a larger project within a preferred time frame. Landowners may also provide contributions in kind, on-site materials or labour towards the completion of the project. The problems and concerns associated with sediment have received increased awareness through the Authority's on-going involvement in the T A.W.N.'s program and Upper Humber Study Staff feel the emphasis on Sediment Control will continue to grow. Staff recommend that the Authority continue the Sediment Control Assistance Programs with a 10\ landowner contribution. CONSERVATION PLANNING PROGRAM This program originated in 1963 as the Farm Planning Assistance Program, and was directed toward providing a technical planni ng program for the agricultural program. Recognizing the changing landholding patterns within the MTRCA watrshed, the focus of the program was re-directed in 1971 to low quality agricultural lands that were being converted to residential use with few or no agricultural activities. The program coordinates the use of Authority programs and offers advice on non-Authority assistance programs. In addition it provides background information on conservation concerns, additonal projects that the landowner can carry out (ie. bird houses and food plots), and produces a limited terrestrial inventory The Conservation Planning Program is a major tool in educating landowners in sound management practices. I tal so enables the Authority to implement its assistance programs in the most efficient manner as projects are usually large and concentrated over one property. The actual plan provided to the landowner is a written management strategy that is developed to the needs of the landowner and benefits Authority objectives. Detailed recommendations and development plans are included. Within the application of this program to large properties - the minimum property size is 10 hectacres - it was hoped that this change in land use could be accomplished in a manner that best reflected Authority objectives. The cost for plan preparations is currently $100.00. Plan preparation requires servera1 site visi ts and consultation, and staff time to assemble and prepare the report and illustrations. Staff believe that the Conservation Plan program continues to be a viable means of promoting and implementing effective Resource Management on private lands. ....../5 . - 5 - Staff have not actively promoted this program in recent years as staff time is limited in carrying out the detailed planning requirements. An increase in landowner contribution to $500.00 would enable the Authority to hire seasonal technical staff to assist in Conservation Planning Programs. Staff recommends the Authority continue the Conservation Planning Program and landowner contributio" be increased to &500 00 per plan. FISH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM This program was begun in 1975 to address MTRCA fisheries objectives on private lands as idenfified in the watershed plan. The p roj ec ts implemented to date have been quite successful. and several of the structural design specifications developed by staff have been incorporated into the Community Fisheries Involvement Program manual prepared by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Log cribs, bank I covers. ~esting pools, and riffles have all been installed or created on various properties. The Authority provides the staff and materials for the projects. Projects to date have geared to improving fish habitat on cold water streams where angling opportunities can be provided to the general pUblic Staff have priorized streams for habitat improvement in conjunction with th~ Ministry of ~atural Resources Priority streams include the Duffin Creek. head waters of the Hum~er a~d Rouge River Projects have bee~ primarily carried out through funding provided by Job creation programs or special funding from the ~inistry of Natural Resources, such as the S.P 0 F. program Strategic Planning for Ontario Fisheries. The new fishing licenced program of the M.N R may provide special funding for fisheries rehabilitation in both rural and urban areas of the watershed Provincial funding for Authority fisheries projects has been very low in recent years and opportunity; to subsidze fisheries projects on private lands that benefit I residents of the watershed through increased anglig opportunity has been sever1y restricted. It is therefore necessary to require lOOt, landowner contribution for fisheries improvement projects if no oth~ funding is available. Staff recommend the Authority continue providing fisheries habitat I improvement projects for private landowners with lOOt landowner contribution. TREE MOVING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM < In 1975 the Authority became one of the first agencies to purchase i tree spade. and it has been made available to private landowners since that date. The Authority provides an operator with the machine. and the landowner pays lOOt of the associated costs The primary use of the machine is in moving trees to thin woodlots and using the trees for windbreaks elsewhere on the property The tre~ spade is primarily used on Authority projects throughout the year private tree spade work is carried out only if the machine is available. This is not a significant pr~gram of the Authority andd promotion has been very limited. The current cost is $550.00 per to the landowner which represents lOOt contribution by the landowner. Staff recommend that the Authority continue to provide a Tree Movi' Assistance Program funded lOOt by landowner contribution TECHNICAL ADVISORY SERV!CE Authority staff conducted over 200 site visits annually to offer technical advice to residents of the MTRCA watershed. Much of the, advice is directly related to Resource Management Programs, and h~ to do with tree and shrub species selection planting relationships and locations. sediment control. and provision of general informa~ regarding Resource Management options. Technical advice is also offered on disturbed land reclamation, fish habitat improvement. 1 breaks. forest management. and wildlife habitat development pract on privately owned lands, and it is fully subsidized by the Authority. ....../6 - 6 - Staff recommend that the Authority continue to provide technical advice to private landowners to ensure and encourage the implementation of effective land management practices PONDS ADVISORY SERVICE This program was first offered in 1957 in order to encourage the development of multiple use farm ponds. It originally included a subsidy for pond construction. Today this program is entirely an advisory service to provide the landowner with information on pond construction, site suitability, aquatic weed control and fi sheri es and wildlife potential. Many landowners appreciate the advice we provide regarding application procedures and the concerns that the Authority, MNR, and MOE have in pond development. The program's objectives are to see that the Authority's concerns for sed1mentation, water management, fish habitat and water quality are protected. This service is supplied at no charge to the landowner except where a more detailed aquatic inventory is requested, in which case the landowner pays 100~ for a technician's time and any tests that are carried out. Staff recommend that the Authority continue to provide advice to private landowners on pond development and maintenance at no cost. When a more detailed aquatic inventory is requested, costs will be offset by the 1 andowner. Landowner participation in the management of the watershed resources ccntlnues to be a viable means of promoting, educating and ensuring Authority objectives are being met. Landowner contributions of 100~ offset the costs associated with carrying out the project on the landowner's property Advising and assisting the landowner in developing the project continues to be a subsidized portion of the to ta 1 project. RECOMMENDATIONS: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the staff report on the Pricing Policy be received THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT Private landowners contribute 100~ to offset costs for the Following projects Farm Tree Replacement Program, Wildlife and Erosion Control Shrub Program, Conservation Planning and Tree Moving Assistance Program, Fish Management Program, Landowners contribute 33~ to offset the cost of the Private Land Reforestation Assistance Program; Landowners contribute 10~ to offset the costs of the Sediment Control Program; The Reforestation Subsidy ?rogram be discontinued. 1986.11 12 00/1 f I I
