My recent photographs show that there IS a severe undercllttll1g below the nght fence OWIng to contll1umg water seepage For reasons known only to the Authonty no gravel was placed wlthll1 8ft of my nght fence As such 2 ft of my table land has already disappeared In thiS area over the last 2 1/2 years There IS a large tree WIth It'S roots almost exposed 111 the nght hand comer of the fence When that tree goes down as It surely wlll, another huge chunk of land and fencll1g wlll go With It. How much more money wllllt then take to repair the damage? The Authonty has been 'mol1ltonng' the Situation ill my backyard for the past 15 years I desperately need them to do more than tl1I5 WIule they have been 'mol1Jtonng' 1 eontmue to be agol1lzlI1g over my backyard that has shnmk drastIcally Ladles and Gentleman 1 have lost count of the number of tunes I have been forced to make vanatlOns of thIs appeal, lost count of the numerous telephone calls to anyone who mIght be 111 a pOSItion to mtercede all my behalf, lost count of the back breakmg toll to save my property and shore up gaps WIth soli and shrubs, lost count of the hours spent ill takmg photographs collectl11g sOIl samples and prepanng documentation, lost count of the tImes 1 appealed my taxes to t1w Ontano MUl1lclpal Board How much longer IS thiS gOll1g to contll1ue? None of us here IS gettll1g any younger If I don't pursue thiS battlc, who wlll? ThiS IS my home that I'm fightmg for I was clearly gIven to understand that the ConservatIOn Authonty would be oblIged to control hlrther erosIOn at the time the 35,000$ gravel buttress was mstalled. Well despite Mr Mather's assurances I am here to mform you that further erosIOn has taken place and I appeal to the Conservation to please carry out further work before the situatIOn warrants mcreased expenditure There appears to be a dIscrepancy between my readll1g of the sItuatIon and the Authonty's mOl1ltonng May 1 suggest that a sod engll1eer be hired to gIve us an accurate and unbiased account of the soli erosion Furthem10re I strongly urge the Conservation to carry out further remedIal work as what was done was not enough Not by far Thank Y Oll, Trevor D'Souza 42,Royal Rouge TraIl, Scarborough, Ont., ._. . - MIS 4T8 416-286-5591 2 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION RES #B3/01 - NATURAL HERITAGE LANDS PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT, 2001-2005 Flood Plain and Conservation Component/Lake Ontario Waterfront Ru,mymede Development Corporation Limited, CFN 29587 Purchase of property located, east of Shoal Point Road, along the Lake Ontario shoreline, Town of Ajax, under the "Natural Heritage Lands Protection and Acquisition Project 2001-2005" Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Lake Ontario Waterfront.

There are significant environmental impacts associated with the opening of Pine Valley Drive between Clubhouse and Rutherford Roads Moved by Michael Di Biase Seconded by Irene Jones THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the City of Vaughan be advised that the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has significant concern with the environmental impacts of opening the Pine Valley link between Clubhouse and Rutherford Roads, THAT the City of Vaughan be requested to thoroughly consider traffic planning solutions that do not require the opening of Pine Valley Drive between Clubhouse and Rutherford Roads, AND FURTHER THAT the City of Vaughan be requested to initiate a full Individual Environmental Assessment (EA) as opposed to a Municipal Class EA for the Pine Valley Drive link due to significant potential environmental impacts, if they choose to pursue this option over another transportation strategy CARRIED BACKGROUND The Pine Valley Drive link is a currently unopened road allowance between Clubhouse and Rutherford Roads The link traverses part of the Pine Valley Forest Environmentally Significant Area (ESA) and Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) It also includes a well defined, in the order of 30 metres in height, valley associated with the East Humber River The comlection has been identified on transportation schedules within the City of Vaughan Official Plan (OPAs 400 and 600) Prior to "opening" this portion of the road, the City would be required to undertake a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. In June 1998, City of Vaughan Council held a public meeting to consider deletion of the extension of Pine Valley Drive between Clubhouse Road and Rutherford Road in OPA 400 Subsequent to this meeting, City staff were directed to have a detailed transportation study, and an preliminary environmental review, related to the Pine Valley Drive Link, undertaken On February 19, 200-1, these"eperts wer-e.br-eugjht-baek to-Committee-of. the Whole with a recommendation from staff to have them received, and the information contained in them considered in any future undertaking for Pine Valley Drive between Clubhouse Road and Rutherford Road Neither report made any recommendations with respect to the fate of the unopened portion of Pine Valley but rather, stated the implications of both opening, and not opening, the road The environmental report, prepared by AGRA Earth and Environmental, indicated that there would be long term effects of opening the Pine Valley link even with the use of a sensitive design (span crossing) 12 In a letter to the City (February 19, 2001), TRCA staff indicated our concern with the proposed road, and advised staff and the Committee of the Whole of our continued support for deletion of the new link in the City's Official Plan, OPA 600 On February 26, 2001, the matter was scheduled to go before City Council with a recommendation from the Committee to receive the reports and the Information contained in them considered in any future undertaking for Pine Valley Dnve between Clubhouse Road and Rutherford Road In response to this agenda Item, staff wrote to the City advising that it is staff's opinion that if Council is conSidering a connection of Pine Valley Dnve between Clubhouse Drive and Rutherford Road that thiS assessment proceed as a full Individual Environmental Assessment due to the proJect's potential for SignifIcant environmental impacts RATIONALE Staff's understanding of the environmental features and functions of this site is extensive It is the opinion of staff that a road, regardless of design, along the existing road right of way will have Significant impacts on the significant environmental values of the site As such, it is essential that the City acknowledge the sensitivity of the site and undertake the appropnate level of assessment necessary to determine if a road is necessary, and if alternatives to the Pine Valley link eXist, as well as appropriate design and mitigation measures for any potential solution This level of assessment can only be appropriately undertaken through a full Individual Environmental Assessment.

In the mid 1970's the Authority constructed a gabion retaining wall to protect the house at 345 Beechgrove Drive. During a storm event in June 2000, the high water flows undermined the wall causing it to fail The site is now vulnerable to erosion during storm events and the residence is threatened by the erosion The site ranks #3 on the Authority's erosion priority list.

For the ~tream corridQrs, OPA 400 r.equired in all.areas a 10 metres.setback from the .J regulatory floodplain, with no provisions for buffer or increased setbacks if deemed necessary The changes proposed by OPA 600, would allow for the reduced standard of a 10 metre setback to be applied throughout the areas covered by OPA 400 ThiS represents a significant departure from the Authority's VSCMP and a reduction in the ability to protect for the Valley and Stream Corridors in the longer term Authority staff, in recognition of the previous policies within OPA 400 recommend that the Plan incorporate the following 39 . define the boundaries of the Valley and Stream Corridors to include a buffer; . the treatment and width of the buffer to be determined through a technical review during the Block Plan process, . provisions which encourage the buffer component of the valley and stream corridors to be included within the area for protection as part of the valley and stream corridor outside of the development parcels, . where it is demonstrated that the functions of the valley and stream corridor can be adequately protected with the buffer incorporated within the development block, provisions to Increase setbacks and prohibit structures in the buffer area are required In principle, we understand that Mr Given and the landowners group agrees with these objectives and some discussions have taken place on the appropriate wording to reflect this intent. Attached as Schedule A is the proposed wording changes recommended by Authority staff Wetland Protection OPA 400 policies for unclassified wetlands assessed as Class 4 through 7, require that proponents demonstrate that the important wetland functions will be protected The changes to these policies through OPA 600 would allow, as an alternative, that the feature may be replicated or relocated to the satisfaction of the City and the TRCA. The effect of this change is to open the opportunity to relocate important wetland features to other locations These features exist on the landscape as a result of many factors For the most part they cannot be Simply relocated and continue to perform a comparable natural function While staff support and advocate the creation of wetlands where enhancement opportunities exist, we do not support their creation to replace existing classified features Proposed modifications to the wetland policies are shown on Schedule A. Mr Given has indicated that they support no change in the wetland policies approved by Vaughan Council in OPA 600 Re~ional Control of Stormwater Mr Given expressed no concern with the proposed modifications to require, where necessary regional control of stormwater For information, the actual wording of the proposed modifications are also included within Schedule A. CONCLUSION Authority staff r.ecommend tbai the. Authority- r.equestthat.the Region of York modify policies of Official Plan Amendment 600 to ensure that. . where necessary, based on technical study, a buffer along the valley and stream corridors be required The treatment of the buffer, whether it be included within the valley and stream corridor or within the development parcel will be determined through the technical studies at the Block Plan stage, 40 . the provision to allovv for the relocation or replication of classified wetland features be deleted, . the requirement for Regional control of stormwater, where necessary, be included to ensure that downstream landowners are protected Specific wording to incorporate these modifications are attached as Schedule A.

The current model has insufficient capabilities to address our management needs, however, It does provide a good platform The Authority is proposing to utilize this project to enhance its working relationship with York University by working with its GIS Department In developing the watershed management GIS Water Budget tool It is proposed that the tool developed will allow for the assessment and management of the watersheds responses to land form changes and climate change on a watershed and sub-watershed level of detail ThiS tool will also provide the Authority with the basis to manage the low flows of our watersheds By integrating low flow data in the model, we will be able to identify impacts to the low flows/base flows within the watershed caused by drought or water takings and attempt to manage these impacts with the intent of maintaining a healthy aquatic ecosystem FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for this project are available within line item 113-40 in our budget which include funds from Environment Canada (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) In addition, York University is committing funding in the form of staff and resource time in an amount close to that requested, making the overall budget requirements close to half of what would be required If developed through the private sector For Information contact: Don Haley, extension 5226 Date February 26, 2001 NEW BUSINESS RES #B15/01 - PINE VALLEY DRIVE LINK , Moved by Michael Di Biase Seconded by Jim McMaster THAT TRCA work with City of Vaughan staff to finalize a terms of reference for the Class EA process for the Pine Vall~y Drive Link.

This would place the housing at approximately 700m setback at 90 degrees to the right and left. In front of the stage there is only industrial and commercial development for a large distance. To the southwest at 11 OOm distance is a housing subdivision on the south side of the railway tracks. To the east of that is a campground, shielded by a berm built along the south side of the railway tracks and other berms within the facility The residential areas hav.e relatively hIgh ambient sound levels due to the presence of arterial and expressway traffic in the area. The venue is not proposed to be able to handle rock concerts. The crowd size is proposed to be in the 5,000-10,000 range. We are assuming that the programming material will not require sound levels in the crowd greater than a maximum of 90 dBA at the rear of the crowd This limits the type of activity on stage to moderate music, such as is normally played at ethnic community gatherings with which we have extensive experience. To permit SOUlld levels as high as 90 dBA in the crowd, some acoustical measures are required They include a stage with a solid backdrop and wings to prevent the stage monitor speakers from spraying sound to the rear and sides of the venue. In addition, the sound system arrangement should be designed and permanently committed to by the organisation Speakers should have fixed locations pre-aimed"to serve the crowd The"Sound system should"include limiters preset to avoid accidentally'" 1\1 sound levels. Having a dedicated sound system design in place that guarantees both good sound for the users and control of off-site impacts for the nelghbours should 51 - Page 2 of 3 be a prerequisite for development of the facility Sound arrangement that do not acknowledge the ~ site constraints should not be permitted, The venue operator should maintain control through contract and his own sound technician, the set up for each concert. The City requires that no sound from such venues be audible after 11 PM (2300 hours). Hence, all amplified sound will have to terminate at that time Prior to that time, the applicable sound level limit at the receivers is the ambient sound level or 50 dBA, whichever is higher as found in MOE's Model Municipal Noise Control guideline. It has been our experience that there is a dearth of suitable venues of this size for group gatherings Only the Italian community is large enough to warrant the rental of spaces such as the CNE Band Shell, other groups are working out of small City parks and church parking lots The proposed facility then has some major advantages with its large setback from residential areas. With care, it could solve some existing concert noise problems in the City and provide an excellent opportunity for the display of the talen\s of the growing ethnic and special musical interest communities To develop the facility to its best potential, the operator win need to commit to a dedicated acoustical arrangement of the stage area, the sOllnd system and management of the types of acts brought into the venue. It will not be suitable for rock music, which is normally run 10-15 dB louder in the crowd than could be dealt with in this facility without additional major noise control elements. Further development of the sound system and stage acoustics is required to ensurB the facility will be acceptable but we are satisfied that if the operator is prepared to commit to the above limitations, that the facility will operate within the City's and Province's noise control guidelines. We trust the above will assist in the evaluation of this project.

KINGDOM CONCERT VENUE PROPOSAL . Proposal to expand the concert venue facilities at Wild Water Kingdom in order to hold concerts fJr audiences of 5,000 to 10,000, on a more regular basis. . In order to facilitate this proposal Wild Water Kingdom is requesting a license ilgreement to utilize ablHting lands from the Conservation AuthQrity initially for a two (2) year trial penod and 1f revenue projections are met thereafter, contemporaneous with the existing lease. The subject lands are located on the south-east comer of Steeles Avenue and Finch Avenue, and were originally leased to the Wild Water Kingdom These lands were given back to the Conservation Authority in order for the Conservation Authority to pursue development opportunities (executive golf cotlr6e and hotel), which to date havc not been realized. . The proposed expanded concert venue is compatible with the existing water park and there are synergies between the two uses Currently ethnic groups and corporations hold events/gatherings at the water parle. The expanded concert venue facility will allow groups (i.e., ethnic or corporations) to incorporate perfom1ers into their [unctions and gathenngs. This currently takes place on a much smaller and Irregular basis. It is anticipated that the concert venue will attract performing arts such as ethic mUSIC groups, children festivals, symphonies, jazz festival etc. . Traffic will be handled internally through the addition of additional entrance booths in the park and parking on the lands to be leased from the conservation authority The new parla- f area will remain in its current state, grassed. . A noise con':'.lltont has been retained to examine the noise impacts a,ssociated with the proposed COE.. :t vemle The concert stage has been located and oriented to mitigate nOIse impacts, In addition, Wild Water Kingdom will have its own audio technician to control the sound system and sound levels and wings will be incorporated into the stage in order to control the souud levels .

I ^ "'~)" v fl;>. .\.Jl.\.":$~, ~ x. f,,,- PROPOSED RESOLUTION The applicant has undertaken works which appear inconsistent with the policies of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) Section 3 2 of the VSMCP allows for the alteration to an unstable valley slope in order to provide stability with a priority on non structural measures such as adjusting or cutting of slope to its natural angle of stability and vegetative plantings In this instance, the existing residence does not appear to be impacted by slope erosion or slope instability In many cases, where there are existing retaining walls down the slope, the Authority's practice is to permit a "like for like" replacement providing the new works meet the overall objectives of the VSCMP The landowner has indicated that there was a previous block retaining wall located on the property, however the full extent (height location length, etc) has not been clearly demonstrated Authority staff are concerned with recommending a permit which does not meet the policy intent and setting a precedent for this corridor reach through approval of these works after the fact Specifically, such works on a cumulative basis have the potential to impact the valley corridor functions and features including the ESA and floodplain area. On this basis, charges have been laid Staff are recommending an agreement be reached with the landowner given that a partial wall did exist on the site previously and the removal of the current wall would create further disturbances to the ESA. The basis of the agreement would be to allow the current wall to remain with extensive native planting on the valley floor complementing the ESA and further plantings along the top of wall The negotiated .agreement is-inten<:iedto resolve'the"outstanding''Violation on the noted site and set the framework to deal with the up coming court appearance in June 2001 The following points have been agreed upon between all parties and form the basis of the ag reement: . certification by a Professional Engineer regarding the design details of the as constructed wall 88 . As built drawings indicating current conditions and geodetic survey elevations, . A planting plan prepared by a qualified professional to the satisfaction of TRCA staff; . Final certification of the plantings by a qualified professional, . Letter of Credit or Performance Bond equal to the cost of completing the plantings This requirement may be not be required If the plantlngs are completed prior to the June 2001 Court date. Mr Grassa stated that he would try to complete the works dunng the spring planting window . A wntten agreement executed to cover the charges and site restoration Summary The negotiated agreement is intended to ensure site restoration and enhancement, set the framework for the June 2001 court appearance, and minimize potential precedence setting of the works The latter point is addressed through the court action initiated by TRCA enforcement staff and resolving the outstanding site issues through the Violation process and rather than issuing a permit for the works after the fact.

None the less. the issue central to the matter is the applications which have been made, the work under taken by specialists in specified issues and the merit of the proposals. In summary 1 The applications are far a concert venue. The area selected IS planned for intensive recreational uses and was in part previously considered for a golf range and a hotel 2. Noise attenuation advice has been received from Mr Coulter and transportation planf'lrng advice has been provided by Candevcon. 3. We have met in committee with senior staff to discuss the merit of the application and Wild Water King'dom has met with TRCA staff to arnve at an equitable business arrangement. While there remains some matters which require further investigation. the applicant and TRCA Staff seemed to be making good headway towards a presentation to the Authority Since its inception in 1989, Wild Water Kingdom has paid rents in excess of $4 million and has invested in excess of $4 million In capital Improvements on the site. Given the length and success of the relationship to date, prospects of expanding and enhancing it appears to be promising and to be to the significant advantage of TRCA as well as the proponent. In view of the magnitude of the losses that Wild Water Kingdom is now exposed to, and the loss of opportunity for new revenue to TRCA, It is essential that the parties remain focused on the merit of the applications. Wild Water Kingdom has been fully advised of the correct procedures to be followed in this matter We ask for the co-operation of TRCA Staff to ensure that the merit of the appltcations is fairly canvassed and presented to the Authority Yours truly, Weston Consulting Group Inc.

The construction of the dwelling consisted of the excavation of fill for the basement, backfilling around the structures and the placing of fill for the driveway The site and dwelling, which has already been constructed, are located entirely within the Regional Storm Floodplain and a Fill 'lO ~,t.; ..lo + 1 Regulated Area. 138 Since the early 1980's, the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffvllle and the Authority have been reviewing applications in context of a proposed "two zone concept" This "two zone concept" entails the separation of the "floodway", where waters are the deepest and the fastest from the "floodfringe", where development could potentially occur without adverse impact. A subdivision to the north and other permits within the Town were approved on the basis that this two zone was being con:>idered However, municipal staff have indicated that they may not be proceeding with this approach, given much of the flood susceptible sites are either publicly owned or have existing development. The needs of the municipality in terms of the community's growth can be addressed through existing policies of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program without the necessity of Introducing increased risks through the two zone approach Therefore, this application is being reviewed under the "one zone concept" with some consideration to the prior development requirements in the area. In 1994 the subject parcel was created through the severance and In October 2000 the municipality issued a Building Permit. After a site inspection TRCA staff in November 2000 advised the municipality that works were in contravention of the Conservation Authorities Act and suggested that a Stop Work Order would be appropriate An Order to Comply was issued December 5, 2000 by the municipality and at this time the structure was constructed and partially shingled The municipalilty allowed the completion of the shingling to protect the Interior As of May 2001 the structure has been fully shingled, however, the brickwork is outstanding In light of this background the objective of this permit is to ensure that the house will be flood proofed in order to limit the loss of life and property damage as was achieved on other prior permits in the area. The structure IS located Within a backwater area of the floodplain referred to as u "passive flood storage area" where little or no flow velocity exists Control of Flooding. The structure will be floo~proofed as plans indicate that all openings will be above the Regional Storm elevation of 267 37 metres c g d The applicant has submitted a Letter of Undertaking to provide "as builts" to en~LJI e that all openings are above the Regional Storm Elevation Staff has determined that the structure will be able to withstand the flood depths (0 8 metres in the west, 0 2 metres in the east) and velocities (nil in this passive flood storage area) All excavate from the basement will be removed from the site The applicant has submitted a Letter of Undertaking to provide cross-sections to indicate that the stockpile of fill due west of the structure will be removed from the floodplain Pollution. Works proceeded in October 2000 and it is difficult to determine whether any silt protection was utilized The plans submitted in April 2001 indicate a silt fence on the south and west section of the site to contain any further construction generated sediments Conservation of Land. All disturbed areas will be restored witb sod followir19, construction .As,there will be no instream work there will be no concerns related to fish habitat loss The Stouffville Creek is approximately 95 metres west of the front lot line With the erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potentIal for a harmful alteration, destruction, disruption (HAD D) of fish habitat through any future sedimentation will be mitigated No significant resource features will be impacted by the propos~~d works There will be no slope stability issues related to the works "' 139 Policy Guidelines. The proposal complies with Section 4 2-G) 1) Infilling- i), and iii) to x) inclusive- of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. However, the proposal does not comply with subsection ii) which states that a new structure is not to be located within the Regulatory Floodplain Staff are recommending approval because it is an existing lot of record in a passive flood storage area surrounded by works previously approved under the informal two-zone concept; and the structure will be floodproofed to the Regional Storm Elevation CFN 32225 Application #" 111/01/WS Report Prepared by June Murphy, extension 5304 For information contact: June Murphy, extension 5304 Date April 25, 2001 RES #B40/01 - REQUEST FOR DISPOSAL OF AUTHORITY OWNED LANDS Adjacent to a Residential Property on Fulwell Crescent Black Creek Area of the Humber River Watershed, CFN 23096 The Authority is in receipt of a request from City of Toronto staff to reconsider the Authority's position regarding a sale of Authority land to the owner of 50 Fulwell Crescent in the Black Creek area of the Humber River Watershed Moved by Irene Jones Seconded by Maria Augimeri THAT the item be referred back to staff to prepare a more detailed report to be brought to the Executive Committee at a future date.

Concert venues would cater specifically to smaller venues such as children's festivals or ethnic community gatherings, and would exclude rock concerts or raves Staff met on several occasions with representatives from Wild Water Kingdom, as well as their planning, traffic and noise consultants to review the proposal and discuss various issues and concerns related thereto WhaUollo.wsls a brieLsummary 0 Land Use The lands in question are currently zoned Open Space-Section 581 which allows for any conservation area or purpose, an indoor or outdoor recreation facility operated by, licensed by, or leased from, or managed under an agreement with a public authority, including a conservation authority, a lounge or restaurant with an indoor or outdoor recreational facility, purpose accessory to the permitted uses t- " 144 0 Authority staff has confirmed with the City of Brampton that a minor variance would be required to accommodate this use on the subject lands, and that a traffic analysis would be required in support of the application Additionally, the proponent would require site plan approvals and the issuance of a building permit by Brampton, details of which have not been submitted to either the Authority or the City of Brampton The Claireville Conservation Area Management Plan adopted by the Authority on February 28, 1997, identifies these lands as Public Use/Commercial-High Intensity Zone, which allows for high intensity recreational or edocational activities and complimentary commercial activity on table land areas not considered integral to the form and function of the core habitats and corridors A portion of the lands are regulated pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158, the Authority's Fill, Construction and Alterathn to Waterways Regulation A permit would bp. required from the Authority prior to any gra~jlng or construction taking place within the regulated portion of the property Traffic The lands in this general area are well served from a transportation infrastructure perspective, given its location at the corner of Finch and Steeles Avenue and close proximity to Highways 407 and 427 The proponent has retained Candevcon Limited to undertake a traffic and parking review associated with this proposal The report concludes that the use of the water park and the use of the concert venue will not coincide with peak hour street traffic, and that the peak use of the existing water park facility will generally not coincide with the peak use of the proposed outdoor concert venue In order to process incoming vehicular traffic to the park, the report recommends the addition of five ticket booths to the existing two ticket booths on site The report estimates an additional 2,900 parking spots will be required to accommodate the outdoor concert venue, of which 1,700 parking spots would be located on Authority lands with the balance distributed on lands currently leased to Wild Water Kingdom In securing the approval for this proposed use of the lands, Wild Water Kingdom would be required to address all local and regional municipal requirements and standards specific to traffic Both the City and the Region have advised they will require a detailed traffic analysis to support the proposed 'A.:>E> Based on staff's recent discussions with representatives from both the City and the Region, I'''' further submissions have been made in this regard Noise J E Coulter and Associates Limited has been retained by the proponent to investigate the acoustical implications of .the proposal T.he stage.associated,witb. this venue would be located facing southeast, and the report assumes that programming material will not require sound levels in the crowd greater than 90 dBA at the rear of the crowd This in effect limits the activity on stage to moderate music, such as can be found at ethnic community gatherings The report stipulates a number of requirements in order to permit sound levels as high as 90 dBA including sound attenuation measures such as fixed speaker locations, the use of preset sound limiters to avoid accidental high noise levels, use of a dedicated sound system, 145 management of the acts brought into the venue, termination of all amplified sound by 11 00 P m in accordance with municipal requirements " The report concludes that subject to the operator's compliance to these requirements the facility will operate within the City's and Province's noise control guidelines Consultation This matter was also brought to the attention of the Claireville Conservation Area Stewardship Committee and the West Humber Subwatershed Committee on April 24, 2001 Members raised a number of concerns associated with this venue which for the most part relate to noise and the environment. While the Committee does not object to an intensive use of the Authority's lands at the south east corner of Steeles Avenue and Finch Avenue, they are concerned with a proposed concert venue that will generate noise which can be heard beyond the site's boundaries For the most part concerts will be held on week-ends during the summer months, and noise generated from these venues will disperse into the reservoir, the campground to the south and the conservation area to the north While the members recognize that there is already a considerable amount of ambient noise present, they do not feel the Authority should be supporting a proposal which will lessen the outdoor nature experiences in this- general area. Additionally, the Committee expressed concerns regarding potential environmental impacts from the proposed venue, including potential impacts to breeding bird habitat in this general area, increased emissions of carbon monoxide from idling vehicles bot" coming and leaving the venue, continued access to and enjoyment of the Claireville Reservoir RATIONALE Under the terms of our lease with Wild Water Kingdom, any improvements which involve structural or substantial changes to the facility shall only commence after plans and specifications have first been submitted and approved by the Authority To date, only preliminary details associated with the outdoor concert venue have been provided to staff for their consideration, based on our review of the proposal, staff are not prepared to recommend the concert use. Staff are cognizant of the issues raised by the members of the Claireville and West Humber Committees While it is recognized that there is a certain amount of ambient noise in the general area, the addition of concert venues which could run from mid-afternoon through to late evening on week-ends during the summer would effectively generate additional noise which extends beyond the site boundary This has the potential to significantly impact the experiential enjoyment of passive recreational users at Claireville Also staff remain, COr:lcerned with, tl:ole .implementation <0f.-tt.l€Se,.measures and the actual management of the venues Previous experience dictates that events qf this nature are difficult to control even with the most stringent controls in place. When venues, do get out of hand the Authority is left having to deal with complaints and is subject to public criticism In effect, current corporate events with much smaller groups at Wild Water Kingdom continue to generate noise complaints from campground visitors, even though Wild Water Kingdom attempts to address such complaints 146 There is also significant concern associated with the impacts this venue may have on the Authority's Indian Line Campground immediately south of Wild Water Kingdom Annual attendance at Indian Line Campground continues to grow as the facility becomes a popular camping destination with dose proximity to amenities and services Th'? Authority is committed to growing thl;; business, and the campground is constantly being improved in an attempt to cater to our client's needs and interests Lessening the camping experience by Introducing further noise Impacts to the area will only have a detrimental impact to our campground operation Staff at the campground have noted their ongoing problem in dealing with noise complaints generated by Wild Water Kingdom as part of their current operations, and are concerned this Will only worsen with the introduction of a venue of this nature Additionally, the lands at the south east corner of Finch and Steeles have been identified by the Authority as a site for lease development initiatives Previous unsuccessful proposals have included a resort hotel, pitch and putt golf course and driving range It is staff's opinion that relinquishing these lands to provide parking for this proposal by Wild Water Kingdom is not the highest and best use of the property, and effectively limits the Authority's ability to pursue alternate lease arrangements for these lands Staff also note that the proponent without TRCA consent or knowledge, and in contravention to the lease agreement between the parties, has initiated construction of the main stage for the concert venue, as well as the construction of four 20' by 20' concrete pads for vendors booths, electrical servicing for the site and fencing for the venue. Staff are currently pursuing this with the proponent and will further update the Executive Committee on May 4, 2001 Report prepared by I uch Ognibene, extension 5284 For Information conta~~ Jim Dillane, 416-667-6292 Ron Dewell, extension 5245 Luch Ognibene, extension 5284 Date April 30, 2001 Attachments 1 147 Attachment 1 RE: PROPOSED WILD WATER KINGDOM CONCERT VENUE J' Clairevale Conservatlon Area, Humber Rtvor Watershed CF!\. 23005 , '\ ...J , UlN08 LEAsED TO wrw WATER IQNQIXlM ..t....:s ""*$* tH:J'" .f\.4..JS"HJt: .'llt.POt' / /..-;/ /7 ~ X /,' ~ j, ! ~~f/RJ.! -- E2ZA ~~~~~~L ... __ _y_ 1 ~ COIIc&;11'valIJE I -,' c::::l ~nff'I'1~%.~oou 148 RES #B43/01 - WAGEMA HOLDINGS, LOTS 4, 5, 6, PLAN M-3057, MARKHAM North of Major Mackenzie Drive, west of Warden Avenue Existing Lots of Record do not comply with Infilling Policy Moved by Maria Augimeri Seconded by Jim McMaster IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT staff be authorized to approve Fill, Construction, Alteration to Waterways permits L:'1der Ontario Regulation 158, for construction of single family dwellings and associ~ted amenities including septic systems on Lots 4, 5 and 6, Plan 65M-3057 within the ReJional Storm Floodplain and Fill Regulated Area, AND FURTHER THAT the forthcoming application submissions by prospective purchasers, or owners will be required to satisfactorily address the technical requirements related to Ontario Regulation 158, as amended, (implications to flooding, pollution, conservation of land), other policies of the TRCA (with the exception of septics within the Regulatory Floodplain) at the time of submission and any other requirements imposed by other review agencies at the time of submission, in particular the Municipality of Markham. CARRIED BACKGROUND The site IS located on the west side of Warden Avenue, north of Major Mackenzie Drive on Heritage Hill Drive The subdivision was approved in 1995 after a review using the 1979 floodplain mapping, the best available information at the time This mapping indicated that the proposed lots were not flood susceptible, however, did not reflect the existing conditions resulting from fill placement through road works In December 2000 a prospective purchaser of Lot 4 inquired about the possibility of constructing a pool in the rear yard As a result of the inquiry TRCA staff discovered the flood susceptibility of the lots of record in the subdivision that were approved in 1995 I 1 light of the 1995 approval, granted with the UI 'derstanding that the lots were not flood suscep,tible, staff are recommending conditional approval of permits, provided that technicai r,~'quirements and policies are met (other than septics Within Regional floodplain) in order to builu out the subdivision CONTROL OF FLOODING Staff has considered the placement of fill in order to raise the structures above the Regional Storm Elevation The fill placement will not have any implications to conveyance and will have negligible impacts to flood storage given that the subject site is located within a backwater area under Regional Storm conditions Staff have verified that the concept plans indicate that the proposed structures will have all openings above the Regional Storm Elevation of 214 2 metres, Canadian Geodetic Datum. POLLUTION During the detailed design stage the applicants will be reqUIred to submit details of the erosion and sedimentation controls CONSERVATION OF LAND There will be no inwater works, no terrestrial implications, no slope stability issues related to the development of the lots 149 NEXT STEPS Individual lot owners are to forward the details verifying they reflect the general intent of the drawings submitted by Mitchell, Pound and Brattick, dated April 19, 2001 Further, the submissions will meet the technical requirements under Ontario Regulation 158, as amended, and TRCA policy at time of submission (with the exception of septics within the Regional floodplain) as well as other requirements from other review agencies at time of submission, particularly the municipality Once these details have been received and found satisfactory, TRCA staff will be in a position to issue the "Fill, Construction, Alteration to Waterways" permits and are seeking approval from the Executive Committee for all of the lots at this time so that the matter can be resolved comprehensively and avoid uncertainty with respect to future submissions POLICY The concept proposal does not comply with the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, Section 42 G) "Infilling" which stipulates that septic systems need to be located outside the Regulatory Floodplain However, given the factors under which these lots were approved, staff are recommending approval in principle of the development of the lots and direction to approve the forthcoming submissions through the issuance of permits Report prepared by.

This report advises on award of contract for a Phase I and Partial Phase II Environmental Site Assessment for the proposed Bonar Creek Wetland Creation Project. Moved by Jim McMaster Seconded by Maria Augimeri THAT staff be directed to award Terraprobe the contract for a Phase I and Partial Phase II Environmental Site Assessment for the proposed Bonar Creek Wetland Creation Project (Wetland/Phase I) for the amount of $7,85000, GST not included CARRIED BACKGROUND As part of the Bonar Creek Wetland Creation Project, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) proposes to build a stormwater facility and re-create the historic Mimico Creek wetland and its associated forest buffer on a portion of public land in the Mimico Creek flood plain, east of Legion Road and north of LakeShore Blvd W This historic wetland was filled in the late 1940's to provide land for industrial lots and infrastructure of the now-decommissioned Etobicoke Sewage Treatment Plant, leaving a straightened creek bed in its place With the demolition of the decommissioned treatment plant planned for the near future and the open space adjacent to the creek, this site provides an excellent opportunity to create a connected trail system, a storm water facility, and much needed critical wetland habitat within the Mimico Creek Watershed The proposed works will occur in two phases In Wetland /Phase I, the Bonar wetland and storm water complex will be constructed on the open space adjacent to the creek and will be appro~imately 1 78 hectares in size. This requires the removal of approximately 24,300 m3 of fill In Treatment Plant! Phase II, the constuction of meadow and forest habitats, a naturalized Bonar Creek, and a trail - connection under the CNR rail tracks ,is. planned The wetland will rely on the flow of Bonar Creek and ground water recharge to sustain itself The storm water facility will treat 31 hectares of storm flow through a level 2 wet pond which will , include a sediment forebay The wetland complex will be comprised of a series of components including cattail thickets, a hemi-marsh, a lowland and upland riparian zone The slope will be re-graded on both sides of the creek in order to facilitate the growth and establishment of shallow emergent vegetation The vegetation thickets will be established on a base of pea 194 sized gravel in which water flow will be directed along the substrate and through these thickets This substrate flow will cool the water, facilitate nutrient removal and provide a further degree of mechanical filtering The wetland provides ideal conditions for the establishment of a variety of wetland and riparian plants and the development of successional plant communities The deeper pools will be ideal for floating leaf vegetation and the development of submergent vegetation The wetland-outfall design will include a seasonally flooded pike spawning area. To create lowland riparian zones around the marsh, shrub planting beds will be established with enhanced soil conditions through the addition of organic material and soil conditioners such as municipal compost and sand Large stones and rocks scattered throughout the area will provide relief and act as loafing and basking areas for wildlife At Meeting #4/00, held 011 April 28, 2000, the Authority adopted RES.#A92100 and AMENDMENT RES.#A93100.

In 1995 INTERA Consultants Ltd (now Duke Engineering & Services) was retained by TRCA to prepare a site remediation plan as a component of an integrated site remediation/park planning process Angus Environmental Ltd completed the associated risk assessment work. Duke Engineering & Services (Canada) Inc (Duke) was retained to prepare - 198 the Final Work Plan and oversee remedial works on the site Site activities began on October 1998 and were complete in November 1999 Formal comments on the remedial activities as well as the reporting mechanism were received from the Ministry of the Environment in a memorandum dated December 12th 2000, in which several items of concern/clarification were raised The proposed course of action is to directly respond to the comments in a positive manner RATIONAL It is proposed to sole source this Investigative and reporting work to Duke Engineering & Service (Canada) Inc on the baSIS that there will be efficiencies and continuity with the analysIs of the preferred design (option) The previous remedial plans and investigative protocols developed in relation to the site will be utilized in the final reporting and comment to the Ministry of the Environment for approvals Duke has completed the previous work and has committed to provide an expert team, knowledgable in specific issues relating to the Arsenal Lands Remediation area as well as the reporting history with the Ministry of the EnVironment.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority's PolIcy and Procedures for the Purchase of Goods and Services of Equipment requires the Executive Committee approval for selection of successful tenders for acquisitions between $25,000 and $100,000 The acquisition of replacement equipment IS included in the 2001 budget which was adopted at Authority Meeting #3/01, April 27/01 ANALYSIS In accordance with the Authority's policy, staff has examined the need for replacement of Authority owned equipment. The replacement of equipment is determined by evaluating the condition of the equipment including the mechanical fitness (cost/benefit of repairs), age, hours used, and available funds in the Vehicle and Equipment budget. At Boyd Conservation Area, all lawn mowing equipment and operations were evaluated It was determined that a larger lawn cutting machine will be advantageous Although this new lawn mower is approximately twice the cost of two 72" lawn mowers, it would be capable of cutting 8 5 acres/hour versus 7 3 acres/hour and there would be major savings in labour by only requiring one operator Also, there are some maintenance and fuel savings to be recovered by using only one machine Eliminated from the inventory would be two out-front mowers and a turf tractor Last year, Boyd Conservation Area staff had the opportunity to operate and evaluate thiS machine and equipment from other manufacturers The members of the Tender Opening Sub-Committee met on May 25,2001 to open tenders for ES 01-16 Tender Opening Sub-Committee Meeting #3/01 The tender bids are as follows Tender" Supply and delivery of one John Deere model 1600 lawn mower Tender# ES01-16 Company Tendered Price(includes PST & GST) Nobleton Farm Service Ltd $ 54,625 00 Hutchinson Farm Supply Ltd $ 54,658 35 200 IT WAS AGREED AND RECOMMENDED THAT the tenders received as listed above be referred to staff for review Staff have reviewed all tenders and the tendered price noted above from Nobleton Farm Service is the lowest tendered price and meeting the specifications DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff to proceed with the purchase of this equipment.

Garry Misumi, extension 5293 Date May 25, 2001 RES #B57/01 - LEASE OF PHOTOCOPIER To replace an analog production copier with a digital production copier Moved by Gerri Lynn O'Connor Seconded by Ron Moeser THAT the quotation from Ricoh Canada for the leasing of a production digital copier Aficio 850 at a cost of $1766 per month for 36 months be accepted, it being the product that best meets Authority needs and specifications, AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to take the necessary action to enter into an agreement for provision of equipment with Ricoh Canada CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority purchased Its current copier, a Xerox 5100 in 1994 It was given a seven year life based on the volume of the day Lately the copier has encountered reliability and quality problems It is becoming increasingly expensive to operate. An RFP went out to eight vendors in Apnl with minimum requirements for both leasing and outright purchase of a digital copier Six companies responded One company responded with two different machines Two companies provided quotes for equipment that were available through another company Staff had five different machines to evaluate The service area of the RFP included penalties for poor performance Options were put in place for upgrading to better equipment within the same company and with no penalty charges RATIONALE Staff considered outsourcing their copier needs Three companies were contacted Staff found it to be more expensive and inconvenient as much of what is produced is quickly needed 201 In evaluating pricing, staff considered the monthly leasing costs, maintenance costs and the trade in value of the old copier A copier could appear to be good value with their lease rates but when you factor in maintenance or service costs, It provides you with an actual cost for each copy The RFP also addressed issues such as a freeze on maintenance costs Some companies provided a freeze for only two years while others would freeze it over the life of the lease Where the freeze was less than the term of the lease, maximum incremental increases were provided by the vendor These were all factored into the copier and company choice The following companies provided pricing for their copiers CNC Office Systems e-studio 80 Lanier Canada Lanier 5485 Minolta Canada Di750 Xerox Canada 480ST Ricoh Canada Aficio 850 & Aficio 1050 4 Office Konica 7075 The Lanier 5485 and the Ricoh Aficio 850 are the same machine, with Ricoh being the man ufactu rer The Minolta Di750 and the Konica 7075 are the same, with Konlca as the manufacturer Five machines were evaluated on paper Staff purchased a Better Buys for Business (BBB) copier guide, an independent guide which rates copiers for speed, ease of use, copy quality and durability In essence, they were torture tested Certain machines were rated as an "Editor's Choice" where they stood out amongst the competition These were looked at first. With the exception of the e-studio copier, all were rated highly As a result, the e-studio 80 copier was eliminated The Xerox machine was not considered due to their high maintenance costs The Aflcio 1050 copier was ruled out because it was more machine than what was needed This left staff with four companies but only two different machines The bulk of the Authority's copying needs consists of agenda's, minutes and reports Most of these are anywhere in length from 20 to 100 pages and produced as double sided and stapled It is not uncommon for copiers to slow down in speed when doing double sided copying Staff consulted the BBB guide and considered double sided copying speeds The Konica product drops down from 75 to 68 copies per minute (cpm), while the faster Ricoh products drops from 85 to 83 cpm. Staff went to the companies who manufacture the equipment and demonstrated the Konica 7075 and the Ricoh 850 copiers As many of our documents are stapled, staff demonstrated stapler features The Konica machine would staple up to 50 pages while the Ricoh copier would staple up to 100 pages The Ricoh product allows you to modify your job from the copier or your computer while the Konica machine must be modified only from your computer The Ricoh product seems to have more usable features All things considered, the faster Ricoh machine seemed to be better value for dollar Once we had chosen the copier, we had to choose the vendor Both the manufacturing company, Ricoh and the distributor Lanier, were asked to provide details on why the Authority should select their company As the product is the same, it came down to service issues and trade in value. Ricoh has more technicians who will be teamed to know the history of the copier Ricoh will also provide a two hour response time for a service call, while Lanier would guarantee a four hour response time Both Lanier Canada and Ricoh Canada would freeze the 202 maintenance cost over the life of the lease Rlcoh's maintenance cost of $ 0068 per copy was lower than Lanier's Further maintenance increases after the term of the lease are to be no higher than the cost of living FINANCIAL DETAILS It has been policy In the past to purchase copiers because of lower Interest rates available to the Authority or through borrowing from a reserve Staff charted pricing for an outright purchase as well as leasing and they factored in monthly lease rates with maintenance costs based upon 120,000 copies a month ThiS gave us a monthly cost of $2682, or for the three year term at a cost of $96,530 The implied interest rates of 84% over the term of the lease is close to what borrowing rates would be for the Authority Lower maintenance costs with the new equipment will result in savings of close to $8,100 yearly which Will be applied against the cost of the lease Ricoh Canada has offered a $3000 rebate if the copier is leased before their year end of June 30th Rlcoh Canada will pickup the Xerox 5100 and allow $3500 as a trade-in With the rebate and the trade-in calculated in, the Ricoh bid is more attractive than the the Lanier bid Although the Ricoh copip IS more expensive than the Konica product, staff feel that the additional features war rF-<p t the additional cost. The decision to lease vs buy has been made to reflect the Authority's budgetary needs over the next three years Funds are available in account number 001-04-333 SUMMARY The Ricoh product was chosen for its faster speed, stapling capabilities and overall supenor feature list. To overcome problems of poor quality copying, increaSing maintenance costs with associated down time and to meet rising quality requirements, staff is recommending the leasing of the Ricoh Aficio 850 digital production copier After the three year lease expires, it is expected that Authority staff will exercise their option to buyout the copier at a cost of $3000 It is expected that the Aflcio 850 will have a life span of six years Report prepared by John Annunziello, extension 5272 For Information contact: John Annunziello, extension 5272 Date May 29,2001 RES #B58/01 - HYDROGEOLOGICAL SERVICES Hire of hydrogeological consultant.

Irene Jones Seconded by' Gerri Lynn O'Connor THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Authority reconfirms its decision as set out in Resolution A210/95 adopted on September 22, 1995 that Authority owned lands adjacent to a residential property at 50 Fulwell Crescent in the City of Toronto (North Community), be retained for conservation purposes, AND FURTHER THAT the City of Toronto Parks and Recreation Division be requested to deal with the encroachment at this location in accordance with the City of Toronto's Parkland Encroachment Policy and Procedures. CARRIED BACKGROUND At meeting #3/01 held on May 4, 2001, the Members of the Executive Committee adopted Resolution B40/01 THA T the item be referred back to staff to prepare a more detailed report to be brought to the Executive Committee at a future date The original request to purchase lands at this location was received by the Authority in the late 1960's from the owner of 23 Keegan Crescent, Mario Taverna and the owner of 50 Fulwell Crescent, Domenic Emma. This request was reviewed by both Authonty and the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto (Metro) Parks staff and there was no objection at that time to the disposal of the Parcels identified at A, Band C on the attached sketch The sale did not proceed In 1983 Mr Taverna again approached the Authority and Metro to purchase lands at this location The possibility of lands being available for sale was reviewed again It was determined that there were lands that could be recommended for sale, however, the amount of land was reduced to only include Parcels A and B on the attached sketch The Authority's policy relating to sales of this nature is that all owners that abut a potentially surplus land locked parcel are given an opportunity to purchase a portion of the property Mr Taverna was advised of this policy and he provided the Authority with written confirmation from the owners of 25 Keegan Crescent and 52 Fulwell Crescent that they had no objection to the sale to Mr Taverna. Preparation of the Plan of Survey for the sale revealed that there was a fourth owner, Domenic Emma that backed onto this parcel He lived at 50 Fulwell Crescent. The survey also showed that Mr Emma had a fence encroaching onto the subject Authority land -225- Mr Emma would not agree to the sale of land behind his property to Mr Taverna, so it was agreed that the lands Mr Emma had fenced would be deleted from the sale Mr Emma was approached to determine if he was interested in purchasing Parcel B It would appear that Mr Emma was interested but could not deal with the matter at that time as his wife had just passed away The sale of Parcel A to Mr Taverna was completed In 1987 In 1989 Metro Council adopted a new encroachment policy which established an Encroachment Review Committee (ERC) The ERC would accept written or verbal submission from encroaching adjacent owners and determine how the encroachment would be dealt with The general policy was that encroachments be removed, however, the ERC could recommend a license of occupation, sale or land exchange The ERC provided a consistent, objective, and transparent mechanism to implement Metro's encroachment policy In 1990, Mr Emma was sent a letter by Metro advising him that he was encroaching and it also gave him the opportunity to make a submission to the ERC Mr Emma made his submission to the ERC and his request was refused Metro staff removed the encroachment and installed a fence on the property boundary In early 1995, the Authority received a request from Anthony Pagliari, who had just recently purchased 50 Fulwell Crescent from Mr Emma, to consider selling him a 30 foot strip of land which is identified as Parcels B, C and D on the attached sketch The request was circulated to the AuthOrity's technical staff, the City of North York and Metro for comments The following comments were received . Authority's Technical Staff - They were prepared to support the request subject to the conveyance contain a restrictive covenant that no buildings or structures are allowed on the land and that a fence be constructed on the new property line . City of North York - They advised that Authority lands were designated as Valley Open Space in the Official Plan and zoned Greenbelt, while 50 Fulwell Crescent was designated as Residential Density One in the Official Plan and zoned R4 Both parcels were subject to the Valley Impact Zone (VIZ) policies of the Official Plan They also advised that future development of the property would be subject to site plan approval and would be required to conform to the City's zoning by-law and VIZ policies . Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto - They indicated that 50 Fulwell Crescent was one of the encroachment cases reviewed in 1990 by the ERC The ERC recommended removal of the encroaching fences and gardens which was undertaken by Metro Metro then constructed a fence on the property line Metro staff also indicated that at that time other neighbours in the area had removed or were removing their encroachments Based on this information, Metro staff recommended not selling the land to Mr Pagliari Based on the recommendation of Metro staff, the Members of the Authority at meeting # 8/95 held on September 22, 1995 adopted Resolution #A21 0/95 which is as follows THA T the Authority owned lands, adjacent to a residential property at 50 Fulwe/l Crescent in the City of North York, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, be retained for conservation purposes -226- Staff of the City of Toronto is requesting that the Authonty reconsider its position relating to this location They are recommending that the Authority consider selling or leasing a much smaller piece of land to the adjacent owner, Mr Paglian City staff indicated that this conveyance is in line with the Parkland Encroachment Policy & Procedure, adopted by City of Toronto Council on October 3, 2000, in that the sale of this property would enable a boundary line to be straightened City staff have requested that if the Authority sells this property, that the Transfer/Deed of Land include the following restrictive covenants . no buildings or structures are allowed on these lands, . the owner construct a fence on the new property line to the City's standards at his expense, . the owner be responsible for the costs of any survey required City staff have also requested that the owner provide a written commitment that he will remain within the new property boundary, and that he immediately discontinue any encroachments that currently exist. Since this matter was considered by the Executive Committee on May 4, 2001, we have received correspondence from Mr Taverna indicating that he would be interested in acquiring this property if it is for sale RATIONALE Based on our detailed review of the files relating to this location, it would appear that there is no new information that would justify not following the 1990 recommendation of the ERC or reversing the 1995 resolution of the Authority Report prepared by.

Earth Rangers is a global, partnership_driven environmental education program It focuses on young people, teaching them the principles of how natural systems work, outlining the impact humans have on the environment, and nurturing respect for all living things It inspires young people to practice environmental stewardship at home and at school, while promoting volunteer efforts with organizations dedicated to protecting and restoring the Earth Why Earth Rangers? "Children are remarkable for their intelligence and ardour, for their curiosity, their intolerance of shams, the clarity and ruthlessness of their vision" Aldous Huxley Public opinion polls record society's desire for a clean and healthy environment. However, despite reports of shrinking forests, extinct species, dying coral reefs and health problems stemming from environmental degradation, few adults willingly alter their established way of life On the other hand, young people, free of economic and social constraints, readily understand our dependence on natural systems and willingly take positive action Unaware of the influence they have on their parents and other adults, they can be powerful teachers. The Earth Rangers program strives to bring about a more sustainable world by encouraging youth to hold on to and act upon their innate environmental ethic. If change is to occur, it will be today's youth who will bring it about. How Will Earth Rangers Work? Earth Rangers will achieve its mission through the following programs 1 Education Program The Education Program will develop young people's understanding of natural systems and environmental responsibility by building a recognizable brand of high quality educational programs and materials such as Wildlife Assemblies and Rehabilitation Centres. Tapping into the affinity between young people and animals, Earth Rangers will bring non _releasable wildlife into schools through assembly programs Using the stories of how these animals came into our care, Earth Rangers will teach children about natural history and our responsibility to all life a) In partnership with wildlife organizations, Earth Rangers will develop a network of wildlife centres to care for the animals used in the assemblies, and to rehabilitate sick, injured and orphaned wildlife By bringing together high quality wildlife veterinary medicine, rehabilitation and research, Earth Rangers hopes to develop a new standard in care for wildlife, and provide training and resources for veterinarians and wildlife rehabilitators These facilities will do more than nurse -242- wild animals back to health They will provide public education and outreach services that will help reinforce the message that, even in the city, nature and wildlife are all around us b) Outdoor Experiences Rather than experiencing nature on television or through other forms of electronic media, kids will be exposed to the real outdoors Partner_operated adventure camps that feature hiking, canoeing, sailing and other activities will put youths at nature's doorstep and challenge them to experience wilderness firsthand Special financial assistance for disadvantaged kids from inner city neighbourhoods will ensure the participation of those most removed from outdoor adventures c) Sustainability Centres. Independent sustainability centres will feature examples of the latest environmental technologies in energy conservation, waste reduction, construction materials and sewage treatment. Even the least technically inclined will be intrigued by their visits to these centres where educators, scientists, naturalists and adventurers will mentor and teach d) Media No sector of society is more influenced by the media than our youth Taking advantage of this reality, Earth Rangers Will develop a line of educational materials including a video series, a magazine, television shows, a website and more 2 Volunteer Program Real change requires action The Earth Rangers Volunteer Program will encourage young people to assist one or more of the thousands of environmental and conservation groups that are already doing tremendous work Whether they are national in scope like the Canadian Nature Federation or the Sierra Club, or a local citizens' coalition, Earth Rangers will form partnerships with those that emphasize getting young people to take actions that bring about a more sustainable future Earth Rangers will support its partners through grants, educational materials, program development assistance and promotion through the Earth Rangers network 3. Rewards Program Earth Rangers will reward young people for their activities Time spent volunteering with Earth Rangers partners and earth_friendly actions taken at home or at school will be logged In on a web_based reporting system Points will accrue and can be exchanged for Earth Rangers' products Perhaps participation in a two_day stream restoration program will earn the participant an Earth Rangers T_shirt, while a multi_year commitment might merit a university scholarship 4 Fundraising Program Environmental protection is arguably the most pressing issue facing humanity today, but funding for this worthy cause attracts a mere one to three per cent of charity dollars spent in North America. Environmental education accounts for only a small portion of this total Earth Rangers will strive to improve this record by developing a strong fundraismg program that will support the activities of both Earth Rangers and its partners -243- A significant portion of the seed funding needed to develop the Earth Rangers program is being provided by The Schad Foundation Additional sources of revenue will include assembly fees, membership fees, media advertising, corporate sponsorships, license fees and merchandising Getting Started The Toronto area is home to the Earth Rangers pilot program Local programs, however, will not be sufficient to facilitate the kind of global ethical shift we need to move to a sustainable society Through the development of a strong local model, we hope to gain the necessary experience to expand Earth Rangers nationally and internationally --- -244- RES #B74/01 - CONTRACT ESOO-14 EXTENSION Supply of Operated Heavy Construction Equipment and Dump Trucks Extension of contract ESOO-14, Supply of Rental Rates for Operated Heavy Construction Equipment and Dump Trucks, for a further one year period Moved by.

For Information contact: Jim Berry, 416-392-9721 Date June 27,2001 -245- RES.#B75/01 - REGIONAL ROAD 27 VALLEY CORRIDOR STUDY Main Humber River Valley from Nashville Road to Rutherford Road City of Vaughan The City of Vaughan has initiated a study to propose a management strategy for the Humber River between Nashville Road and Rutherford Road The intent of the study is to proactively address protection, restoration and management of the natural resources, provide for an appropriate level of public use of the valley, and consider what, if any, development is appropriate Moved by Irene Jones Seconded by. Gerri Lynn O'Connor THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the City of Vaughan be advised that the Authority would not object to some low scale, low intensity development in specific, non-hazardous areas, as set out in the staff report. CARRIED BACKGROUND In February 2001, the Region of York amended and approved OPA 601, an updated community plan for the Kleinburg/Nashville area. Within this plan, the lands located in the Humber River valley north of Rutherford Road and South of Nashville Road were defined as "Regional Road 27 Valley Corridor Study Area" This area is subject to the following policy. All of these lands are located within the Main Humber River valley and stream corridor Regional Road (Highway) 27 enters the flood plain at the south at Rutherford Rd and exits the flood plain at the north end at Nashville Rd As a result of the highway corridor there are a variety of existing open space, residential, recreational, and commercial land uses. In addition, there are a few properties that while located in the valley, are above the limits of the Regional Flood plain While these areas may not be associated with natural hazards (flooding, erosion or steep slopes), they are significant for their natural heritage and scenic values. As well, there are potential issues related to the access to these sites during storm events up to the Regional storm. Further examination will need to be undertaken to determine if development in portions of this valley corridor is appropriate, and if so, identify the appropriate, primarily low intensity land uses which also address issues regarding the environmental function of the area, including integration of a trail system, transportation impacts on the functioning of Regional Road 27, servicing options, urban design, etc The study will include consultation with the TRCA, affected landowners, York Region, and area residents. The conclusion of the study, as approved by Council, will be implemented by an Amendment to the Official Plan (OPA) and a Comprehensive Zoning By-law passed by Council as well as required site plan application approval During the months of May and June 2001, TRCA staff participated in a public meeting and 3 public workshops to discuss 1) the nature of the corridor, how people perceive it, and how they wish to see it managed in the future, 2) the development potential of four sites identified by the City of Vaughan staff in consultation with TRCA staff that are not currently subject to natural hazards or integral parts of the natural heritage system, and 3) community objectives for a large parcel of City owned land located on the East side of Regional Road 27 between Rutherford Road and Major Mackenzie Through these meetings, and through our original -246- comments on OPA 601, staff has advised the City of the relevant policies of the Valley and Stream COrridor Management Program Specifically that the policies of the TRCA do not permit new development within the valley corridor Based on discussions at the workshops, and with City staff, it is apparent that a number of alternatives, some of which would involve development scenarios that would not be in accordance with the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as discussed above are being considered In that regard, staff recognize the following with respect to this study . Sites that are integral to the Natural Hentage System have been identified In a background study for OPA 601 prepared by AGRA Earth and Environmental All sites that form part of the natural heritage system, are subject to a potential hazard (flooding, erosion or steep slopes), as well as any sites that can not be accessed by a dry route under a Regional flood condition will not be considered suitable for any new development. . The valley system within the study area IS unique in that Regional Road #27 runs within the well defined valley system for a considerable length This may make the area more desirable to those seeking development opportunities, and also presents challenges to optimizing the functions of the valley as part of the Natural Heritage System . A significant portion of the valley study area is held in private ownership, with the flood plain zoned Open Space Conservation (OS 1) and the majority of the rest of the valley floor and slopes zoned Agriculture These Circumstances, in conjunction with the proximity of Regional Road #27 leave thiS area somewhat vulnerable to some amount of development (rural residential, institutional and agricultural primarily) In light of the above, staff are recommending that the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority not object to some low scale and low intensity development on those parcels not I / subject to a hazard and with frontage on Regional Road #27 (identified as sites 2, 3 & 4 on the attached figure, excluding the site identified as site 1 as it doesn't have Regional Road #27 frontage) subject to the following points The specifics around low scale and low intensity development warrant further discussion with City staff . That the limit of the hazardous lands be more accurately delineated (through this study) by undertaking meander and/or erosion analysis as deemed appropriate by Conservation Authority staff . The comprehensive zoning by-law for the study area, required by OPA 601 zone all lands deemed not appropriate for development in a restrictive open space category . The OPA intended to implement the recommendations of the study, and required by OPA 601, include policies which provide for' a) public acquisition/dedication of those lands deemed not suitable for development or which are more appropriately protected for the Natural Heritage functions they could provide, b) the nature, scale, and intensity of development deemed appropriate be strictly controlled, so as to optimize the function of the valley as it relates to the Natural Heritage System and the conservation of land, c) opportunities for active regeneration of degraded sites be maximized, d) appropriate mitigation measures be required to minimize risks to future and existing development located in close proximity to natural hazards -247- . The OPA designate the study area as Valley Corridor, with a unique designation for those sites within the valley where some modest development is deemed appropriate thereby recognizing the need for these sites to optimize valley land and natural heritage functions while development proceeds in a sensitive manner DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff will continue to work with City of Vaughan staff over the summer on a proposed strategy for this valley and the implementation of that strategy through a comprehensive zoning by-law and OPA. We will work to have the Authority's interests addressed in accordance with the above, as well as incorporating the most up to date technical information (hydraulics and hydrology updates currently underway), and report back to the Board of the Authority in the fall prior to the matter going to City Council for adoption Report prepared by.

In accordance with a previously approved environmental assessment and in support of a previous proposal for industrial development on the surrounding lands, the majority of flows from a section of the tributary were diverted into a large on-line retention pond within the Rouge Valley The ultimate goal of the environmental assessment was to eliminate the portions of the watercourse south of the diversion A portion of the tributary was piped and the diversion structure constructed however, works in accordance with the past environmental assessment were never completed TRCA staff subsequently received new development applications for a residential community on the surrounding lands which resulted in a new direction for treatment of the natural features These applications were appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board and as part of a settlement agreement supported by the Authority (see Authority Res B151/98), the Morningside tributary was to be reinstated albeit in a modified configuration A block was assigned through the settlement agreement which was to contain the Morningside and Neilson tributaries and their associated flood plain This permit will allow for the completion of the channel works in accordance with the settlement and in accordance with a Master Environmental Servicing Plan approved in support of the development. The works involve lowering the tributaries within the block and the creation of a new channel utilizing natural channel design principles The lowering is also required to service the residential development. A portion of the flows of the -275- Morningside tributary will continue to be directed to the existing diversion structure during ~ extreme storm events, to ensure protection of the existing downstream developed community The works to both channels will result in a long term improvement to the currently modified tributaries Stormwater Management Four stormwater management ponds are required to service the developing community One of the four ponds is located within the new Morningside tributary corridor The remaining ponds are proposed adjacent to the Morningside tnbutary corridor however, all ponds will outlet to the tributary Culvert Crossings Currently a portion of the Morningside tributary flows through a ditch system adjacent to Staines Road Staines Road is to be realigned and the channel recreated through this section, resulting in further improvements to the corridor With the modifications to Staines Road and to the road networks for the developing community two crossings of the new corridor are required These crossings have been designed to convey flood flows to the satisfaction of TRCA staff The crossings will also be designed using open foot culverts which will ensure that the integrity of the proposed natural channel is maintained A single crossing of the Neilson tributary will also be required to accommodate a realigned Neilson Avenue This crossing will also be designed to convey regional flood flows and will utilize open foot culverts Control of Flooding The Morningside tributary under existing conditions, has a wide shallow flood plain The width of this flood plain is attributed to an existing abandoned rail spur line which crosses the tributary downstream of the developing area. The landowners have purchased the spur line and will be removing the line to assist in alleviating the flood plain constriction The existing diversion channel will be modified and updated to alleviate flooding within the existing community downstream During extreme storm events a portion of the flows will be diverted to the main Rouge River using the existing diversion pipes Given the above measures and the new stream corridor configuration, the Regional Storm Flood plain will be contained within the assigned stream corridor with positive impacts to the downstream portion of the tributary Pollution All works will be conducted in the dryas a series of diversion swales will be constructed to redirect flows during the construction period The stream will be diverted in stages around the work area to reduce sediment downstream In addition, a series of temporary rock check dams will be placed at the downstream end of the channel works to control sediment migration Sediment fencing will be erected at the perimeter of the stream corridor block to ensure that grading on the adjacent lands will not result in increased sediment transport off-site . -276- Finally, as sections of the new corridor are completed, erosion mats will be placed and the areas seeded to stabilize the soils until the plant material is established Conservation of Land The proposed changes to the Morningside tributary and Neilson tributary will result in an improved aquatic and terrestrial system in the longer term The channel will be recreated and new riparian cover will be established, resulting in a continuous natural linkage within the developing community As the watercourses will be altered this proposal requires authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) A compensation package supported by TRCA staff has been forwarded to DFO Once TRCA staff receive the DFO authorization, the permit will be released All insteam works will be conducted within the prescribed coldwater timing window of June 1 to September 15 Policy GUidelines The works are In compliance with Section 3 3, Policies and Procedures for Identifying Watercourses and Alterations and, Section 4 3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program CFN 32053.A Application #. 051/01/TOR Report Prepared by.

Information on physical habitat is needed at fixed sites within each watershed In order to understand the normal variation that occurs in these habitats and the associated changes in the fish and benthic invertebrate community The data is also needed to identify any long term trends In habitat that might affect stream health and productive capacity Therefore, it has been recommended that a long-term monitoring program be established in partnership with interested agencies and organizations to track changes in physical habitat at the sites where fish and benthic invertebrate communities are surveyed _. The physical component of aquatic habitat in a stream is closely related to the fluvial geomorphology Studies of fluvial geomorphology are important components of works in and around watercourses and are often undertaken in association with these works However, there are few on-going monitOring activities associated with tracking changes In fluvial geomorphology, spacially and temporally The importance of flUVial geomorphology in understanding the association between flow in a stream and the aquatic habitat present cannot be over stated For this reason, it has been recommended that several aspects of fluvial geomorphological assessments (e g long profiles, cross sections, pebble counts, bank full width and depth, etc.) be incorporated into the Regional Watershed Monitoring Program that has been developed and IS currently being implemented by the TRCA. In this respect, flUVial geomorphology surveys have been proposed at a total of 150 stations across the nine watersheds within the TRCA's jurisdiction as part of the Regional Watershed Monitoring Program For the 2001 field season a total of 50 of these stations Will be selected and surveyed using standard fluvial geomorphology measurement techniques The expectation is that all of the sites identified within the overall watershed monitoring program can be set-up and surveyed within a 3 year period The successful candidate for this project is expected to provide services for the set-up and completion of these surveys at a total of 50 sites within the GT A along with the provision of detailed data summaries and analYSIS for each site A station selection process is currently underway in order to select the 50 sites For the first year's work, the sites will be located In the Humber, Mlmico Creek and Etobicoke Creek watersheds RATIONALE At the present time there are a limited number of consulting firms that provide detailed fluvial geomorphology assessment services In this respect, a terms of reference was prepared and submitted to three firms that the Authority has worked with and utilized in the past. These were Parish Geomorphic, Aquafor Beech and Bill Annable 353 Proposals were received from two of the firms approached, Parish Geomorphic and Aquafor Beech, with bids provided as follows Parish Geomorphic $39,997 (including GST) Aquafor Beech Ltd $40,000 (including GST) Staff has reviewed both proposals and have determined that although both firms are considered capable of providing the services required, Parish Geomorphic was found to be the only firm able to provide all of the survey and associated field data collection (as specified in the terms of reference) within the $40,000 budget allocated for this project. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Upon awarding of the contract, the successful firm will initiate the detailed historical review of the proposed sites and conduct the field survey and data collection activities between August 1 st and the end of October A report and data summary is to be made available to Authority staff by November 9, 2001 FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for this work has been identified within the 2001 Regional Watershed Monitoring Program (124-05) Within this program a total of 150 sites have been proposed for detailed fluvial geomorphology surveys over a three year period This work represents one third of the overall survey work to be completed For Information contact: Scott Jarvie, extension 5312 Date July 18, 2001 RES.#B90/01 - TRCA MONITORING PROGRAM, STREAM FLOW Award of Stream Flow Gauging installation, monitoring and data archival for up to eight identified sites within TRCA Monitoring Program and in the Region of Durham in Support of the Duffins and Carruthers Creeks Watershed Strategy Moved by. Lorna Bissell Seconded by. Irene Jones THAT the firm of Ontario Hydrometric be awarded the contract to construct, maintain, monitor and archive flow data from up to eight stream flow gauges identified in the Authority's Regional Monitoring Program for year one and in the Region of Durham in support of the Duffins and Carruthers Creeks Watershed Strategy CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority has undertaken with the support of our member municipalities to develop and Implement a comprehensive monitoring network within our area of jurisdiction The network has been designed to develop an understanding of water quantity, quality, precipitation, fisheries and natural heritage characteristics Within all our watersheds 354 The component of the overall network that has been developed to gather information on quantity of flow is designed to build upon our existing stream gauge network which represents a combination of units operated under the Federal Provincial Cost Share Agreement and those operated jOintly by the municipalities and the Authority or directly by muniCipalities and the Authority Currently, we have a network of some 36 gauges, 14 of which are operated by the Federal Government (Water Survey of Canada, (WSC)) The 22 Sites, not currently operated by Water Survey of Canada represent a mix of short term (2-5 years) and longer term sites The majority of these gauges have been installed over the last decade to address individual concerns or watershed management requirements, such as work the Authority IS undertaking on behalf of MOE for the Duffins Creek at the Seaton Lands to establish baseline hydrologic conditions in advance of major land use changes The undertakings of stream gauging in the past few years, while developing pertinent and necessary information, were undertaken in the absence of a comprehensive network plan The development of the Regional Monitoring Network has allowed the TRCA to review the need for data on a comprehensive baSIS for all watersheds dependent on the needs defined to answer questions and set baseline conditions related to the objectives of water management The history:and availability of contractors who undertake this kind of work indicates a real lack of qualified individuals Historically, the vast majority of gauging in the Province was done through the Cost Share Agreement by Water Survey of Canada. The AuthOrity would have made a request through the Ministry of Natural Resources to have a gauge added to the agreement and we would have only needed to pay for the construction of the gauge house, a one time cost which was grantable from the Province As a consequence, no private firms developed to compete During the early 1990's, the Province and the Federal Government began down sizing the stream gauge network based predominantly on budget constraints and the rising costs of managing the network, In the last five years, the cost of simply operating the network has risen from $4,800 per unit to $8,200 per unit this year No grants for new gauges are available from MNR and Water Survey of Canada no longer offers the service of constructing new gauging stations, although as the responsible agency, they still define the standards to which all flow data should be collected to RATIONALE While most consulting firms offer a service of gathering flow data in storm and sanitary sewers, very few can monitor open channel flows and provide data to WSC standards Within thiS area of Ontario, only one firm has developed to offer thiS service, Ontario Hydrometric To date, the Authority and those municipalities with gauges have principally used only Ontario Hydrometric to develop and maintain flow gauging stations With an annual cost of between $2, 500 - $3,000 per year, per station, to maintain the site as compared to WSC $8,200 , the cost savings are evident Costs to construct the gauge housing unit range from $4,500 to $8,000 per unit, dependent on type and are well below the historical costs of $10,000 - $12,000 from WSC One time costs to develop the flow to water level relationships at each gauge site of $4,500 are also well Within reasonable limits when compared to WSC annual costs Costs associated with machine time required to install the gauge housing will be undertaken using the TRCA approved heavy equipment supplier The purchase of the electronic data logger to be installed at each site will continue to go through a competitive process of requesting quotes, as a multitude of firms offer these units 355 While other firms may develop to fill the need over the next few years, at present, Ontario Hydrometric is the only firm which can develop and maintain the gauges at the standards to which we feel the data needs to be collected to ensure its viability to national standards With municipalities within this area also utilizing the same agency, the opportunity to coordinate and partner is also enhanced FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for the installation of stream flow gauges is available within two budgets, one being the monitoring program budget, account 124-20 for all units to be constructed outside of the Region of Durham and under account 118-47 for those units within the Region of Durham, which at present has not chosen to formally be included within the overall Monitoring Program, but have recognized the need to begin the process of stream flow monitoring Current projected costs per unit (aside from data logger costs), installed and operated are approximately $10,000 - $11,000, in the first year With subsequent years at $2,500 - $3,000 per unit to operate and archive the flow data. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The Authority has currently identified a total of some 25 new stream gauging units to be constructed over an eight year period to make the most efficient and effective use of gauging equipment and to reflect the level of need for the data. Up to eight units will be constructed in year 1 (2001) of the program, with the remaining gauges installed in years four (2004) and seven (2007) For Information contact: Don Haley, extension 5226 Date July 12, 2001 RES.#B91/01 - THE CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVING AT KORTRIGHT Preliminary Concept Design, Case for Support. The TRCA has received three proposals to prepare a preliminary concept design for the proposed Centre for Sustainable Living at Kortright. The preliminary concept will satisfy the requirements to bUild a "Case for Support" for the Centre for Sustainable Living Moved by' Ron Moeser Seconded by' Lorna Bissell THAT Verburg and Associates Inc be hired to undertake the Preliminary Concept Design at a cost of $55,000 BACKGROUND The Kortright Centre for Conservation is a not-for-profit environmental education facility, funded through provincial and municipal partners, grants, self-generated revenues and private sector donations Owned and operated by the TRCA, the Kortright Centre is located on conservation lands in the Humber River watershed Since 1979 it has delivered unique educational experiences to over one million public and school-age visitors 356 Education for Sustainable LIving is one of the three platforms of the living City ViSion launched last October A key project identified as part of the Living City campaign IS the expansion of Kortright as an internationally acclaimed Centre to demonstrate sustainable lifestyles and practices and make these more accessible to the public In fall of 1999 the TRCA Initiated a visioning process for the future of the Kortright Centre Different staff groups met on three different occasions to explore needs and opportunities at the site Beginning in December of 1999 a work shop was planned for June of 2000 to engage external input and support for the future role of Kortright as a Centre for Sustainable Living On June 28, 2000 the "Partners Round Table" meeting was held at Kortright to seek out Ideas and VISion Input from business representatives, and organizations Over 100 individuals attended in total with approximately 60 individuals participating In workshops to provide feedback on and support for this important project. From thiS round table staff formulated a Vision for the Centre The Earth Rangers Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre IS a critical piece of the Centre's expansions Earth Rangers and the Schad Foundation are primary partners in the plan to expand sustainable living demonstrations at Kortright A vision for the new Centre is outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding recently endorsed by the Executive Committee and held between Earth Rangers and the TRCA. Vision Through exciting educational programs combined with a stimulating natural environment, the Centre will lead the way in making sustainability technologies and practises accessible and understandable to youth and families. From interactive demonstrations and workshops on building construction, renewable energy and waste treatment technology, to practical solutions for living sustainably in our daily lives, the Centre will inspire and empower, motivate and change To further develop this Vision, the TRCA is embarking on the development of a Case for Support that will identify key issues necessary to attract partnerships and to develop a detailed plan for the Centre The four main components are 1 A Needs Assessment - to identify the rationale and TRCA interest and strategic benefits to developing such a centre 2 A Building Assessment to address the current condition of facilities on the site, renovations and costs to make them functional as part of the new centre 3 Sustainability Educational Program scoping - preliminary program scoping and design 4 Preliminary conceptualization of the program/activities, exhibits, demonstrations, site development and buildings and costs to develop and operationalise the Centre 5 Business Plan including market assessment, feasibility study and implementation plan to assess the viablltlY of the project. 357 Following the development of the Case for Support, the TRCA will enter into a consultative stage to obtain feedback from internal staff and external stakeholders, experts and clients The Case for Support report and presentation package is scheduled to be completed by early fall 2001 and will be used to raise funds, engage the community and establish partnerships for the detailed design and implementation stages to follow The Case for Support outline is attached for information WORK PLAN/SCHEDULE The year 2001 is slated for preliminary project planning and concept development for the new Centre (Phase 1) A work plan is provided for general guidance in the project planning phase Please see the attached flow chart for the Phase 1 planning schedule and components The TRCA invited Verburg and Associates Inc , The Design Exchange, and Little and Associates to prepare a proposal related to the development of a preliminary concept design for the programs, exhibits, site, and buildings for the new centre We will be reviewing these proposals, meeting with the firms and contracting the most suitable candidate to undertake this task as soon as possible RATIONALE In order to develop the financial support for the final design for the new centre, the TRCA requires an impressive Case for Support. This component of the Case for Support provides the preliminary concept design and graphic illustrations to visualize the new Centre TRCA staff has identified a need to revision the Kortright Centre For Conservation for its long term viability This new centre, in conjunction with the new Earth Rangers Centre, will provide solid ground for a positive vision and role for the Kortright Centre under the Living City Campaign TRCA staff solicited proposals from the following three consultants to develop the Preliminary Concept Plan for the Centre For Sustainable Living Name Amount Verburg and Associates $55,000 The Design Exchange $40,000 Little and Associates $30,000 Based on the thoroughness of the proposal, impressive experience in designing attraction/interpretative centres and their proposed team members, TRCA staff identified Verburg and Associates as the preferred candidate Their development of a Preliminary Concept Design will provide the TRCA with a strong and realistic picture of new Centre and the Business Plan component will investigate its commercial viability Staff was also impressed with the virtual reality capabilities of the Design Exchange and their proposal The TRCA is interested in collaborating with the Design Exchange in future to create a dynamic and impressive Case for Support presentation to potential partners 358 The TRCA has received three proposals to prepare a preliminary concept design for the proposed Centre for Sustainable Living at Kortright.

I shared thiS information with others, and I requested and received the plans for the proposed pond Since August 1, Fnends of the Don East has faCIlitated two site visits for interested members and others Many of the individuals have expenence with creeks, floodplains and/or stormwater ponds At this time of year many others who no doubt would like to be involved are on holidays I hope they will be given an opportunity for input. There IS a consensus among those who have VISited the site and reviewed the plan that a lot of hard work has gone into this plan, however, there are a number of concerns arising from this particular deSign proposal. We are not opposed to the pond In principle, but feel that some details remain unresolved After all, thiS isn't a stormwater pond In the comer of a former field at the edge of a recent development north of the city It IS a fundamentally different place Here are some of our major concerns 1 Channel/Creek There IS a channel with base flow. we call It Moccasin Creek, Have any studies been done on the base flow of this creek? What is the source and quality of the water? Is there some way t:l work with the cleaner water? Why does the plan mix dirty stormwater With thiS creek? Can they be separated? What about using a natural channel design rather than a ditch? We feel this part of the plan concerning the channel needs further work The deSign is not detailed enough and has many issues that need to be addressed 366 2 Forest Fragmentation The access road location fragments the native maple-beech forest Much of the forest contains spring ephemeral wildflowers This sort of remnant forest IS valuable In the Don Watershed and is very uncommon within the city Though the design has been slightly modified to address some of the problems relating to the forest, it requires further discussion The TRCA Natural Heritage Strategy does not seem to have a forest patch value assigned to this area, and we have been informed that there is no ecological information on this area Parts of the site are moist at all times, creating a "wet meadow" habitat with a plant community which is uncommon in the Don River It is normal and desirable for the floodplain of any nver to flood from time to time Filling in these "low" spots is unacceptable The entire floodplain of Moccasin Trail Park is an important water storage area Up the hillside below the Greenbelt Drive development, it is unclear from the plans we have whether an existing previously-disturbed part of the slope is gOing to be used for the pipeline right-of-way or whether a new, 10 metre wide nght of way is being proposed If so, thiS would be a further unnecessary fragmentation of this maple-beech forest. 3 Access Road The access road for the sediment forebay on the northwest is very Insensitively located because as noted, It fragments the existing native forest. In addition, It destroys some community plantings which have been going on for several years Some of these trees and shrubs were grown from locally collected seed and are not easy to buy An early construction date will also eliminate the pOSSibility that the trees could be moved successfully We all felt that there is a solution to this problem and we have several points to make in this regard With some careful modifications of the plan, we feel much of this unnecessary damage can be avoided The plans we reviewed stamped April 1 , 2001 show no access road for the south sediment fore bay or pond structures (outfalls, emergency spillways) which will no doubt need serviCing at some future time 4 Disturbed Areas High quality forest is proposed to be cleared for this pond, yet nearby disturbed locations, full of dog strangling vine, and compacted clay fill from DVP construction in the past are not being considered for the location of the pond and forebays The Don Regeneration Council IS gUided by three pnnciples 1 Protect what is healthy, 2 Regenerate what is degraded, and 3 Take Responsibility for the Don ThiS plan does not use this guiding principles Instead, it removes some of what is healthy and does not regenerate the degraded parts The plan needs to be more responsible and responsive to the site We have several practical suggestions regarding these problems also 5 Pond The pond itself poses many questions which have not been answered yet. Is thiS a habitat pond or just a storage pond? How deep Will It be? What level of treatment will be achieved by this system for each of the two pipes? What is the volume expected from each of the two pipes?

Moved by Ron Moeser Seconded by' Irene Jones THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the portion of Authority-owned land located at 18458 Centreville Creek, being Part of Lot 33, Concession 2, Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, requested for purchase by Mr J C Pennie, be retained for conservation purposes. CARRIED R ES.#B 105/01 Moved by Dick O'Brien Seconded by' Gerri Lynn O'Connor THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the portion Authority-owned land located at 18458 Centreville Creek, being Part of Lot 33, Concession 2, Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, requested for purchase by Mr Ian McKinnon, be retained for conservation purposes, AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Executive Committee at the time of lease renewal on discussions with Mr McKinnon of a longer term lease CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority is in receipt of a proposal from J C Pennie the owner of adjacent lands at 18444 Centreville Creek Road and Ian McKinnon, the Authority's tenant at 18458 Centreville Creek Road, to purchase approximately 20 acres together with the house, coach house, shed and barn The Members of the Executive Committee at meeting #11/00 held on November 3,2000 adopted resolution #B173/00 THA T the potential disposal of a parcel of land, located at 18458 Centreville Creek, being Part of Lot 33, Concession 2, Town of Ca/edon, Regional Municipality of Peel, be referred to the Authority staff for review in accordance with established Authority policies, AND FURTHER THA T a report be brought fOfWard to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action This request was circulated to the Authority's technical staff, Region of Peel, Town of Caledon, and Ministry of Natural Resources The Ministry of Natural Resources also reviewed this proposal with staff of the Niagara Escarpment Commission The following were the comments received 394 . Authority's Technical Staff - The subject parcel is located within the headwaters of the Humber River, on the Oak Ridges Moraine, a majority of the site is within the Centreville Creek Environmentally Significant Area (ESA# 40) and may contain portions of a tributary stream corridor Only the southwest portion of the parcel is outside the ESA and is void of significant woody vegetation, however, given that it is 10Qated on the Oak Ridges Moraine and its proximity to a stream corridor and the ESA, staff are recommending that this parcel be retained with the long-term objective of rehabilitation . Region of Peel - Approximately one-third of the subject lands are identified in the Region Official Plan as being Core Areas of the Greenlands System in Peel The natural features found within or adjacent to the site include an ESA, Core woodlands, potential VulnerableiThreatened/Endangered habitat and a Natural Area watercourse The site has high potential for significant heritage resources In addition, the lands are situated within the Niagara Escarpment Plan Area and within the Oak Ridges Moraine feature Thus, it is recommended that the Authority retain ownership to ensure an appropriate level of protection It is further recommended that the Niagara Escarpment Commission be given the opportunity to comment on the possible sale of the subject lands There may be an opportunity to sever a portion of the subject lands to allow for the current renters of the property to own a portion of the site, leaving the remainder under Authority ownership . Town of Caledon - The Town's Official Plan designates all the subject lands as Environmental Policy Area (EPA) The Town supports the addition of the 5 acre parcel to the property owned by Mr Pennie This constitutes a lot addition, which is permitted in lands designated EPA. However, the proposed severance of the 15 acres and conveyance to Ian McKinnon cannot be supported by the Town staff because the EPA designation does not permit the creation of new lots . Ministry of Natural Resources - The proposed severance is not permitted by the Niagara Escarpment Plan because it would exceed the permitted lot density for the area. Also, this request fails to meet the criteria as set out in Policy 3 4 of the Niagara Escarpment Plan for the disposal of public land in the Niagara Escarpment Parks and Open Space System The acquisition of this property was partially funded with substantial amount of provincial funds through the Niagara Escarpment Land Acquisition Program This investment by the province was made to ensure that the purchase would be a permanent addition to the Glen Haffy Conservation Area. For these reasons the Ministry cannot support a sale A plan illustrating this location is attached Report prepared by.

To facilitate contract administration, a Turnkey approach is proposed where TRCA will enter into one contract with a consultant/contractor to undertake all aspects of the clean-up (engineering, analytical services, contracting services, transportation and disposal and all reporting associated with the works) Moved by. Lorna Sissell Seconded by. Gerri Lynn O'Connor THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff be directed to bring a recommendation to the Authority meeting #7/01 on September 282001 for the award of turnkey remedial clean-up services for Area 17 on the Arsenal lands. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Arsenal Lands at 1400 Lakeshore Road East were part of a larger property that was used as a training area for the Department of National Defence prior to World War I The property was developed as a manufacturer of rifles and small arms, during the Second World War, and continued into the 1950s as Canadian Arsenals The property was transferred to Canada Post in 1981 and the main building was used as a mail sorting facility until its sale to the MTRCA (now TRCA) in 1991 Prior to purchasing the property, the TRCA undertook site assessments in 1991 and 1992 which identified several areas containing soils which would require remediation and/or environmental management. In 1995 INTERA Consultants Ltd (now Duke Engineering & Services) was retained by TRCA to prepare a site remediation plan as a component of an integrated site remediation/park planning process Angus Environmental Ltd completed the associated site specific risk assessment (SSRA) Duke Engineering & Services (Canada) Inc (Duke) was retained to prepare the Final Work Plan and oversee remedial works on the site Site activities began in October 1998 and were completed in November 1999 Formal comments on the remedial activities as well as the reporting mechanism were received from the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) in a memorandum dated December 12, 2000, in which several items of concern/clarification were raised In response to the hydrogeological concerns raised by the MOE, Terraprobe Limited provided professional peer review services on behalf of the TRCA. Also as result of these concerns, Duke was again hired (Executive Meeting #4/01 for an upset limit of $10,325 00) to reinstall and develop two monitoring wells and undertake additional ~orehole/groundwater sampling Sample analysis of the subsequent works indicated elevated, (higher than previously reported) concentrations of hydrocarbons in the soil and groundwater These results were forwarded to Angus Environmental Ltd for comment on the effects of the elevated soil and groundwater contaminate levels on the SSRA. Comments received from Angus indicated that significant revision to the document as well as additional sampling and modelling would be required to 397 bring the SSRA into conformance with the current conditions Angus provided an estimate of $6,500 to carry out this work. It was also estimated that 1-2 months for data collection, 1-2 months for modelling and report writing plus at least 2 months for MOE to comment would be required Recently TRCA staff convened an informal site inspection to determine the impact of contaminate removal on the existing woodlot. Nursery staff Inspected the site and determined that little impact to the overall woodlot would result with removal actiVities A majority of Area 17 (which is approx. 600 square meters in area) is dominated by understorey vegetation (grape, staghorn sumac, rose spp and poison ivy), with only 10 mature trees to be removed Staff identified 1 multistem butternut, 2 red oak stems, 2 soft maples, 2 white birch & 3 trembling aspen, within the area. It was also determined that the area could be easily regraded and revegetated The logs from the clearing operations could be further utilized in other habitat creation projects of TRCA. RATIONALE The SSRA In its original form has been on file with the MOE for approximately 20 months, Without acceptance Finalization of this aspect of the clean-up process is required for TRCA to confirm and file With MOE the Record of Site Condition and release Canada Post from their obligations related to the site Along with the Canada Post release is an associated disbursement of $800,000 to the TRCA resulting from the other aspects of the site remediation being completed below budget as per the letter agreement between the parties Due to the increasing costs associated with the additional consulting, coupled with the timing, (it has been estimated that 6 months would be required to gather additional information, undertake analysis and submit to the MOE for response and comment) alternative options were sought. Two options were reviewed, those being, continue with the current SSRA approach, or remove the contamination off-site and restore the area. Staff determined that the problematic area (Area 17) be addressed in a more direct manner, removing the contaminates, and undertake restoration activities rather than pursue the current SSRA approach This decision was based on the uncertainty of MOE acceptance of a revised SSRA, rising cost of consulting fees and the comfort level with the results of a "dig and haul" operation Once the contamination is removed and the Record of Site Condition filed With MOE, Canada Post would be released of their remediation obligations TRCA would be In a position to commence the park development as per the Arsenal Lands Park Plan in conjunction with the partners The site would then be available for public use and complete the waterfront objectives for the new regional park - Marie Curtis/Arsenal Lands ThiS proposal to resolve the outstanding contaminate issue In Area 17 has been reviewed With Canada Post and concurred with on August 29, 2001 \ DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE A Request for Proposal (RFP) outlining a Turnkey approach for the undertaking of remedial actiVities, in which a single proponent would be responsible for all aspects of the project from consulting, analytical services and contracting services has been proposed This approach will allow for the administration of one contract by TRCA and will be performance based 398 Staff have drafted the RFP document and it has been distributed to five consultants/contractors The RFP outlines a Turnkey approach to clean-up the site while the TRCA administers one contract with one project manager Proposals have been solicited from the following firms 1 Conestoga-Rovers & Associates - CRA Contractors Ltd 2. Golder Associates Innovative Applications Inc (GAIA) 3 General Environmental Group 4 Philip Services 5 ESG International Proposals are due on Wednesday, September 12, 2001 Each proposal received will be evaluated and a recommendation for consideration by the Authority at meeting #7/01 will be made Specifically, the proponent (as per the RFP) will . develop a site specific work plan and health and safety plan to identify, remove contaminates and restore the area, . retain appropriate contracting, transportation and disposal services as required, all within Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Labour guidelines for such work, . carry out on-site supervision and project management of all activities including direction of excavation operations, confirmatory sampling, manifest preparation and execution, supervision of restoration, . prepare and submit a summary report of clean-up activities to be forwarded to the MOE outlining a point by point account of the work undertaken, complete with analytical support data, and . prepare and submit a restoration plan taking into account the recommendations suggested in the Arsenal lands Remediation and Restoration Master Plan Staff will obtain reports and make submissions to the MOE in accordance with provincial regulations FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds to undertake the turnkey remedial clean-up services for Area 17 are budgeted for in Account No 215-10 as per our agreement with Canada Post.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information 420 Proposal The proposal consists of constructing temporary wooden hoarding around a mining compound and shaft location as part of the installation of the 16th Avenue Sanitary Trunk Sewer The hoarding-enclosed compound and shaft will be the access to the 6 1 metre wide tunnel, located 33 0 metres below grade, which will be used for the sanitary trunk sewer installation The actual installation of the trunk sewer along 16th Avenue is being reviewed under a separate permit application due to it's compleXity of having to lower the groundwater aquifer by constantly pumping and discharging subsurface flows to adjacent stormwater management ponds and storm sewers The 16th Avenue sewer project is a continuation of the 9th Line sanitary trunk sewer construction which was approved by the Executive Committee in 1999, the groundwater table had to be lowered by pumping the aquifer below the 9th Line tunnel also The existing emergency overflow of the adjacent Wismer Commons stormwater management pond will have to be relocated to the west and the associated berms will need to be regraded to match grades inside the compound Authority staff has confirmed that the function of the pond will not be affected by the proposed works The compound is temporary in nature and will be removed once the 16th Avenue sanitary trunk sewer project has been completed in approximately 5 years The Town of Markham is the owner of the subject lands and has provided written authorization for the works to proceed The western portion of the proposed compound hoarding is located within the Regional Storm flood plain of the Robinson Creek The site is not presently fill regulated, however, fill lines are proposed along this reach as part of the Authority's Fill Regulation Extension Program Control of Flooding Existing grades within the compound will remain essentially unchanged, with the exception of limestone screening which will be laid down over the existing sparsely vegetated and gently rolling meadow in this area. The portion of hoarding susceptible to flooding is situated within a backwater area of the Regional Storm flood plain A section of the wooden hoarding inside the flood plain will be raised to allow flood flows to enter the compound area, then flow back towards the watercourse after floodwaters subside The tunnel shaft will be located outside the Regional Storm flood plain of the Robinson Creek. Based on the elevated hoarding design provided by the project consultant, it is the opinion of staff that the control of flooding will not be affected during the 5 year duration of the works Pollution Silt fencing will be installed along the outside of the western part of the wooden hoarding to impede the migration of construction-generated sediments Conservation of Land The entire site is situated within the relatively level stream corridor of the Robinson Creek. There are no slope instability / geotechnical issues evident at this site No significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works Once the project has been completed, the entire disturbed area will be returned to its former condition As an added ecological benefit, staff has requested a commitment, through a Letter of Undertaking from the Region of York - Transportation and Works Department, to revegetate the entire work zone with native tree, shrub, and herbaceous plant material as part of the rehabilitation of the site 421 Policy GUidelines The proposal complies with Section 43- Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program CFN 32537 Application # 264/01/MARK Report Prepared by.

The following were the comments received . Authority's Technical Staff - The tableland portion of this property lies adjacent to the Humber River and appears to be well vegetated despite the existing circular driveway The proximity of this area to the Chapman Valley ESA is also noteworthy, in that it not only contributes to an Important north-south (Main Humber) but also an east-west corridor link As such, the area provides important in-situ as well as supporting habitat. Residents of the local community are very strong supporters of the Chapman Valley ESA. Local groups have been involved in helping to protect and enhance the functions and features of this area as well as undertaking inventories and other supportive Initiatives This group is seeking opportunities to enhance the area. On a watershed basis, forest cover amounts to only about 15 percent, with most of that occurring in the headwaters of the Main Humber , 461 Subwatershed, on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and the Niagara Escarpment. Forest cover within the Humber Subwatershed in the City of Toronto is only about 6 5%, suggesting that any properties that are currently forested (particularly in areas optimizing habitat block size and configuration) should be maintained and enhanced . City of Toronto, Economic Development, Culture and Tourism Department Staff - The site be retained for conservation and park purposes A plan illustrating this location is attached Report prepared by' Mike Fenning, extension 5223 For Information contact: Mike Fenning, extension 5223 Date September 20, 2001 Attachments 1 462 ~DUU~ ~~~~~r Altachmenl1 ORnYOWN'ouUiO.~~,,, C,,, ~ ., ISPOSAL OF AUTH - ~ ~~,. ~.A 'OU'STFOR 0 of T~oo~ "_, ~_ L ~Scar1eltRoad.Crty .....-----.~~' '" D DCA, ~_ ~ ~r;;~ CFN32162 ~ '~....

In the context of the new facility and programming initiatives of the new Centre, what other facilities exist that may competitive or complementary, what markets are they targeting and how? . in the context of the new programming initiatives of the Centre, what fee structure would be appropriate and would be acceptable to existing and new market segments? 504 These and other questions will be finalized in discussion with the Steering Committee dUring the first phase of the entire project. A list of key stakeholders that should be interviewed will also be finalized at this time The market assessment will be completed after preliminary program and facility concepts have been prepared The latter are necessary to assess potential attraction capabilities of the Centre for the desired target markets 2 Pro-forma Analysis The pro-forma analysis will include . an assessment of the staffing requirements of the new Centre, . an assessment of the capital, operation and maintenance costs of the proposed facility and programming concepts, . an assessment of the sources and size of revenues that can be expected from all revenue generators including potential sponsors and partners, . a profit (loss) statement for the next 5 years, and . a discussion of the "conditions" under which the Centre can hope to achieve financial self-sustainability and over what time frame 3 Implementation Plan The implementation plan will establish a schedule and priOrity structure for. . immediate action requirements, . a staffing and organization modification plan, . a facility planning, design and development plan, . an exhibit planning, design and development plan, . a programming plan including outreach programs, . a fund-raising program and plan including the development of alliances and partnerships, . a marketing, advertising and promotions plan, and, . a long-term facility and exhibit renewal plan The final Business Plan will be expressed in the form of two documents, the Executive Summary, and the detailed Business Plan for the Kortrlght Centre The Executive Summary will be in colour and of a quality to support fund raising efforts The detailed action plan will be presented to the Steering Committee and discussed dUring the Action Plan Workshop Once the detailed action plan is approved by the Committee, we will prepare the draft Final Business Plan, present the draft final master plan to the Committee and then modify and submit the Final Business Plan to complete the consulting assignment. If so requested by the Steering Committee, we will assist the Steering Committee in presenting the conclUSions and recommendations of the Study to selected groups and agencies as an optional addition to the study, the cost of which will be determined at the conclusion of the study 505 Fees and Timing The tasks associated with the business plan will be incorporated into the overall work program as previously presented with a negotiated increase in the length of time required to complete the work so defined The Project Team is ready to undertake the preparation of the business plan for a total sum of $20,000 in Canadian Dollars, exclusive of the Goods and Services Tax. This estimate disbursements The latter includes travel, report production and other miscellaneous expenses The fee estimate is valid for 90 days from the date of submission We look forward to working with you on this challenging and exciting project. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions Sincerely yours, Verburg & Associates, Inc K. Verburg, Principal Consultant 506 RES.#B123/01 - DEVELOPMENT OF A TRCA, GIS WATER BUDGET TOOL Approval of three party approach to the development of a GIS Water Budget Tool, developed through the Ryerson University with input from Dillon Ltd Moved by Irene Jones Seconded by. Jim McMaster THAT the Authority enter into an agreement with Ryerson University and Dillon Ltd to facilitate the development of a GIS based Water Budget model for the Duffins Creek watershed at an upset cost not to exceed $15,000, excluding any applicable taxes. CARRIED BACKGROUND Staff originally brought a similar report forward to the Executive at Meeting #2, held on March 2,2001 with a request to work with York University to facilitate the development of a GIS based Water Budget Tool Following approval from the Authority, formal discussions began with York University During these discussions, the chief proponent from York whom we had been dealing made a decision to leave the University Staff have been attempting to get the proJect back on track with the University, however, these efforts have not been successful The project is still important to our water management objectives and we began to Investigate other avenues towards initiating this proJect. As the Authority already has a Partnership Agreement with Ryerson University related to both GIS and Engineering initiatives, staff approached Ryerson and opened discussions regarding this project. The University expressed a great deal of interest in this proJect and looks forward to working with the Authority and Dillon to faCilitate its development. In this regard, the UniversIty has already submitted an initial request to CRESTech (a Provincial/Academic research agency) for additional funding for the project. Traditional hydrologic modelling undertaken by the Authority has typically been done to understand the watersheds response to significant rainfall events such as HUrricane Hazel or the 1 in 100 year design storm The simulations of these individual rainfall events was undertaken to develop criteria to manage flood and erosion risk and determine storm water management criteria necessary to mitigate the impacts of urban runoff These types of hydrologic models provided the tools necessary for the Authority to manage the watersheds in the traditional roles of flood and erosion protection but as event based tools are insufficient to manage other hydrologic issues such as low flows and water budgets As the Authority is evolving from a flood hazard based watershed management agency to one which manages the entire hydrologic cycle, we have a need to develop hydrologic tools more applicable to this new role Tools such as Water Budget models and continuous simulation models are two examples of hydrologic tools which will allow the Authority the flexibility to look at the watersheds hydrology in a more holistic sense Water budget models are simply a representative tool which allows the Authority to understand the allocation of the meteorological inputs in terms of the percentages of the water which end up evaporating, infiltrating to groundwater and running off into the watercourses The models can be set up to run on an annual basis, seasonal, monthly or even dally basis The accounting of how the water is allocated within each watershed allows us to define impacts of landform changes or other aspects of management such as water takings or longer term 507 issues such as climate change Continuous models tend to be a more detailed assessment tool breaking down the infiltration and surface runoff components of the model into more details to allow for a greater degree of impact assessment to be undertaken These models tend to be extremely expensive to develop and utilize on a watershed basis and are used when a greater degree of detail is required A typical approach to managing the watershed in a holistic manner would be to develop a suite of hydrologic tools which would include both water budget and continuous simulation capabilities The water budget as the initially developed tool allows for the development of a better understanding of the watersheds overall hydrology prior to moving towards a continuous model The development of a GIS based water budget tool will allow the Authority to enhance the capabilities of the traditional mathematical approach to a water budget by utilizing the flexibilities inherent within a GIS approach for both impact assessment and presentation It will also allow the Authority to more easily expand the use of this GIS water budget tool to our remaining watersheds Rather than start this process from scratch, the Authority is proposing to utilize an existing GIS based water budget tool developed and made available by Dillon Consulting as the starting point. The current model has insufficient capabilities to address our management needs, however, it does provide a good platform to begin from The Authority is proposing to further strengthen our Partnership Agreement with Ryerson University by working with its Water Resource Engineering and GIS Departments in developing the watershed management GIS water budget tool This tool will allow for the assessment and management of the watersheds responses to land form changes and climate change on a watershed, sub-watershed, and site level of detail This tool will also provide the Authority with the basis to manage the low flows of our watersheds By integrating low flow data in the model, we will be able to identify impacts to the low flows/base flows within the watershed caused by drought or water takings and attempt to manage these impacts with the intent of maintaining a healthy aquatic ecosystem FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for this project are available within line item 113-40 in our budget which include funds from Environment Canada (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) In addition, Ryerson University is committing funding in the form of staff and resource time and has made a funding request to CRESTech making the overall budget requirements significantly less than what would be required if developed through the private sector The Authority's direct financial input to this project, aside from staff time or resources, remains at the $15,000 previously approved For Information contact: Don Haley, extension 5226 Date October 02, 2001 508 RES.#B124/01 - 2001 VEHICLE ACQUISITIONS The 2001 acquIsition of replacement vehicles Moved by Irene Jones Seconded by Jim McMaster IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT Tender ES2001-12 2002 Extended Cab Pick Up Truck be awarded to Alex Irvine Motors Ltd for the total amount of $28,905.25, AND FURTHER THAT Tender ES2001-13 2002 Extended Cab Compact Pick Up Truck, be awarded to Northtown Ford Sales Ltd for the total amount of $20,721 85 CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority's policy and procedures for the purchase of goods and services and disposal of equipment required the executive Committee approval for selection of successful tenders for acquisitions between $25,000 and $100,000 RATIONALE The acquIsition of replacement and disposal of vehicles and equipment is included In the 2001 budget.

Moved by. Irene Jones Seconded by. Jim McMaster THE BOARD RECOMMENDS TO THE AUTHORITY THAT the Karen Wianecki of the firm" Planning Solutions" be hired to undertake development of the Duffins and Carruthers Creek Watersheds Management Strategy at a cost not to exceed $19,200 and be retained for 3 additional days for public consultation at an additional cost not to exceed $2,400 CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority is involved, through the Duffins Watershed Task Force and the Carruthers Watershed Task Force,in the development of a Duffins and Carruthers Watershed Strategy This strategy will form the basis for the future protection and management of the terrestrial and aquatic resources in these watersheds It will provide practical management strategies that will protect water quality, water quantity, environmental features and ecological function State of the Watershed Reports are currently being developed by the Task Forces that examine existing conditions in these watersheds These State of the Watershed reports and the technical work undertaken by the Task Forces will provide the basis of the watershed strategies for the Duffins and Carruthers Watersheds 510 DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The Dufflns and Carruthers Watershed Strategy will be between 60 and 70 pages in length and will be accompanied by a brief (approximately 10 pages) executive summary that will summarize key directions and recommendations contained therein The watershed strategy document will Include a viSion statement, detailed recommendations for natural heritage protection and enhancement, ground and surface water resources, cultural heritage and public use within these watersheds, recommendations for the integration of watershed strategy with municipal planning process, implementation strategy and a glossary of terms The role of the writer is to assist the Task Forces in developing a document which reflects the results of ttleir work and communicates these directions to targeted audiences (i e , elected officials, municipal staff, stakeholders and citizens) RATIONALE The firm recommended by the Duffins and Carruthers Task Forces presented a superior proposal Ms Wianecki has an extensive professional and academic background in the fields of municipal planning and natural resource management. She has demonstrated experience in developing policy documents and has expertise with translating technical material into plain language As a resident of Ajax (Carruthers watershed), Ms Wianecki has an excellent understanding of local Issues and has well-developed professional relationships with municipal staff and elected officials in the Duffins and Carruthers watersheds She provided excellent external references who vouched for her integrity, quality of work and dedication It was further ascertained in a recent interview that Ms Wianeckl has strong analytical skills and can be expected to meet major milestones on time and within budget. The proposal and professional expertise provided by Planning Solutions closely matched the direction provided by the Task Forces to develop a watershed strategy that will be integrated with the municipal planning process FINANCIAL DETAILS In keeping with the Authority's procedures related to retaining consultants for such work, proposals were requested and five were received Of the five, there were three proposals that most closely matched the terms of reference that were developed by the Task Forces for hiring a writer These were examined In greater detail The three firms that were short-listed in ranked order were 1) Karen Wianecki (Planning Solutions) $19,200 00 (including GST and expenses) 2) Joanna Kidd (LURA Group) $27,777.20 (Including GST and expenses) 3) Pat Orendorff Moffat $21,400 00 (Including GST and expenses) Report prepared by' Steven Strong, extension 5392 For Information contact: Gary Bowen, extension 5385 Date October 11, 2001 511 RES.#B126/01 - MAPLE SYRUP TENDERS Contract for the supply of pre-packaged and bulk maple syrup Moved by. Irene Jones Seconded by. Jim McMaster THAT the contract for supply of pre-packaged maple syrup be awarded to Smokey Kettle Maple Company Ltd , involving minimum total estimated expenditures of approximately $74,10000 CARRIED BACKGROUND For over 30 years, the TRCA has offered maple syrup demonstrations In 1999, with the growth of the maple syrup program through the seamless Sugar Bush presentation at Bruce's Mill Conservation Area and the Kortright Centre for Conservation, staff prepared a cost analysis of the maple syrup retail component. Prior to the 2000 season, staff purchased maple syrup in bulk, bottling and labelling product for Bruce's Mill and Kortright on site It was concluded in the 1999 assessment of the retail operations that savings would be realized from the purchase of pre-packaged product. RATIONALE In September of 2001, tender packages were sent to five Ontario Maple Syrup Producers and in October we received two completed quotes Per unit pricing and the overall tendered costs on both quotes were relatively close, with Smokey Kettle providing a lower quote free of conditions For a number of years Smokey Kettle has provided excellent service in supplying an assortment of maple products for resale in our retail outlets Staff thereby recommend the tender be awarded to Smokey Kettle Maple Company Ltd FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the supply of pre-packaged and bulk maple syrup are available from account code 801-16-888 Report prepared by' Darryl Gray, 905-887-5531 Date October 04, 2001 Attachments 1 512 Attachment 1 Summary of Quotations for Tender CA01-001 - Pre-Packaged Maple Syrup SMOKEY KETTLE MAPLE COMPANY L TD Tendered Price $74,10350 Delivery ( if Extra) N/A Total $74,103.50 ROBINSON'S MAPLE PRODUCTS Tendered Pnce $74,589 15 Delivery ( If Extra) $600 00 Total $75,18915 513 RES.#B127/01 - REGIONAL WATERSHED MONITORING PROGRAM - DATABASE REQUIREMENTS Retention of consultation to undertake database development and data management in support of the Authority's Regional Watershed Monitoring Program, Terrestrial Natural Heritage Program and Watershed Strategy reporting Moved by. Irene Jones Seconded by Jim McMaster THAT the firm of Stoneleigh Associates be contracted to provide database development and data management services in support of the Regional Watershed Monitoring Program, the Terrestrial Natural Heritage Program and the Watershed Strategies, at a cost not to exceed $15,000 plus GST CARRIED BACKGROUND Staff at the last Watershed Management Team meeting identified the need to update our database structure and data management system in order to support various ongoing projects including the Terrestrial Natural Heritage Program, watershed reporting and the Regional Watershed Monitoring Program It was further agreed that data collection, management and dissemination are key elements of several products identified in the Authority's Business Plan and that in order to achieve this in the long term, a full time data management staff should be hired in 2002. This need has been reflected in the 2002 Business Plan and budget process In the interim, there is a need to hire a consultant to modernize the database architecture required to store, manipulate and output data that is required at the present time, and to facilitate efficient and secure data storage in the future Staff have identified a number of key areas where database development and data management is required in the short-term in order to facilitate the entry and manipulation of environmental data that has been previously collected The management and effective use of this data is critical in meeting the Authority's reporting requirements to our funding partners in 2001/02, including the City of Toronto, Region of York and Region of Peel RATIONALE Stoneleigh Associates is recognized as an expert with 20 years of experience in the field of database design and data management. This firm had previously been recommended to the Authority by the Province and the Credit Valley Conservation Authority, and was retained by the TRCA in May 2001 to initiate the development of a relational database to store, link and manage the increasing variety and amount of environmental data generated through TRCA programs Staff have been pleased with previous work undertaken, and based on these positive results, the consultant was asked to provide preliminary cost estimates for this additional work, which was an outcome of the May 2001 contract. Staff are recommending Stoneleigh Associates be retained again in order to ensure consistency both, internally to integrate with relational databases previously developed for the Authority; and, externally to neighbouring CA's and 514 other partners who have utilized Stoneleigh to develop similar systems Staff are not aware of another firm that could undertake this work at a lower fee structure, and that would offer the same level of expertise and familiarity with the operations of the Authority It is expected that the results of this database development will be shared with other Conservation Authorities who are developing similar data management systems and who mIght benefit form this work It IS anticipated that this work will further the development of standardized protocol for the storage and reporting of environmental information to our municipal partners DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Based on discussions with staff, Stoneleigh Associates has provided a proposal (attached) and cost summary of six database components that have been Identified Based on the proposal, staff have selected four components to pursue at this time, as follows Fluvial Geomorphology Component $3,750 plus GST Natural Heritage (Terrestrial) Component $6,750 plus GST Additional Data Entry (Archival Sources) $4,500 plus GST Fish Habitat - (preliminary design work only) Total $15,000 plus GST For each component the consultant will provide database design (Including tables/fields/relationships, data entry/review forms, data importing and parsing, customized queries, summary reports) as well as training/documentation/demonstration for Authority staff The other components identified in the proposal have been reviewed and deferred by staff at this time FINANCIAL DETAILS An upset limit for the work identified has been set at $15,000 00 plus GST The estimates provided by the consultant have been identified as conservative upper limits, and in fact the work may be completed for less than the projected amount. Funding to support this work has been Identified Within the Regional Watershed Monitoring Program, the Terrestrial Natural Heritage Program and the Watershed Strategies For Information contact: Scott Jarvie, extension 5312 Date October 09, 2001 Attachments 1 515 Attachment 1 1 Proposal to design Environmental Monitoring Programme relational databases for the Toronto Regional Conservation Authority Submitted by. Barbara A. Hutchinson, Stoneleigh Associates Stoneleigh Associates is wholly owned and operated by Barbara A. Hutchinson and has been in operation since 1997 Stoneleigh have been involved in over 45 different database projects during that time These projects encompass a wide variety of applications from business contacts and sales to environmental monitoring In addition to database management, Stoneleigh Associates maintains a strong focus in computer training for both corporate and education institution clients and regularly conduct classes in a wide range of operating system and software products (MOUS ™ Expert certified in Office 2000 products) Many projects and teaching contracts are repeat business, and almost all new contacts are referred by current clients. Project understanding Stoneleigh Associates have been requested to submit a proposal to design additional numerous relational databases to store data holdings collected and administered by the Toronto Regional Conservation Authority The full scope of the design project is outlined in the following proposal This is commensurate with the phased development to other database applications that Stoneleigh Associates was involved with earlier in 2001, and is a normal route in the design of any databases In this case, it will include addition of more data and application procedures to existing data sets and design and creation of additional databases Any new databases will conform to existing conventions, link to current data sets and be completely documented and demonstrated to TRCA staff New data sets will include, the Fluvial Geomorphology Monitoring Programme, the Natural Heritage (Terrestrial) Monitoring Programme, Sediment data, PWQO Guidelines and the Fisheries Management data. ~.

Create relational databases Incorporating 0 Access 2000 format accessible to a Windows platform operating in a LAN environment. Future upgrades to new Access versions will be accommodated, as will considerations to migrate the database to a more robust relational design product (such as ORACLE) 0 Database deSign data storage elements to include S WATER - SEDIMENT chemistry data and PWQO (Provincial Water Quality ObJective) gUidelines by parameter and method, with procedures to detect values which exceed these gUidelines S GEOMORPHOLOGY - fluvial geomorphology monitoring data, will also Include graphical images (such as aerial photos and other similar images) S NATURAL HERITAGE (TERRESTRIAL) - monitoring data and corresponding additions to the ENVIRO BASE and BIOTA database for methods, stations and taxonomic species S FISH HABITAT monitoring data - using an existing MNR sponsored application as a guideline for data extents and model development. The MNR model is detailed and strongly supported by other agencies Any new model must replicate required data and models, as well as add any new features as required by TRCA S Additional monitoring data from archival sources have also been located and identified as required as part of this corporate data store They may include a variety of historical data stores, and may face significant shortfalls in associated metadata (such as methods and complete station identification) This data will all likely be inserted to existing databases with appropriate re-formats and data coding 0 Design to third normal format thus ensuring that there is no redundant storage of any data values This format, while enforcing the rules of conventional relational database design often does not present the best view of the data to the user Some data entry tables may be used that are not in third normal design, but will then be converted automatically after each complete field entry to the basic data design That may not be currently the way data are entered, but often making the computer screen look like any paper sample Form eliminates much data entry confusion and errors Design and development time for data entry forms may account for considerable development time and must occur in consult with both the field samplers (and their log sheets) and data entry personnel 0 Efficient data entry procedures using input masks and data defaults and validation rules With easy access via command buttons between related Forms 517 3 0 Ability to cascade update and delete data in related tables This will allow changes to any lookup data, location or sample information while maintaining the integrity of the relationships between the data tables 0 Each monitoring program's data will be separately Identified, though will be stored in the appropriate data-type related database file (all water chemistry in WATER for example, all Station identification in the STATION table) . These databases will include import of sample data. Where data is to be altered (such as the sample station unique value), the original data will be stored in a separate field for legacy cross-reference Update date fields are important means to track changes to the supporting base data. Much of the data exists in 'spreadsheet' or de-normalized format, and may not have the necessary metadata (like methods) associated with it. All data will have to conform to third-normal format to be imported to the database Procedures to convert this data will be described in the database documentation Modelled data Will be stored separately from raw or primitive measured values Model assumptions, date computed and other relevant information will be stored with these data types . A main switchboard Form will direct the user to all procedures of the application All design elements will be clear and concise and will incorporate any identifying bit maps or graphics as desired by the client. . Geographic storage of DMS (degrees-minutes-seconds) latitude/longitude and/or UTM coordinates is an integral part of the observation location data associated with each sample This is extremely important for any interface with a geographical display or analysis system . Consideration of web readiness and future conversion to a larger scale database format will be incorporated in all database designs The prime consideration in this feature is the data table and form design with associated underlying VBA code and self-explanatory Form screens, but may also include other database features such as naming conventions . The database will include Form-based Queries to preview selected information from the database by either geographical area or sample information This would take the form of a drop-down list of available choices for the user to select from in a similar fashion that reports are generated for a selected species in the current database . Generation of Reports to summarize data collected can take many forms, and the scope of this development is almost limitless Sample reports will include paired sample analysis between disciplines by station and sample date 518 4 2 Work Progress Reports Periodic progress reports are vital to the successful and satisfactory completion of any database proJect. This will afford two major benefits, the consultant can ensure that the design continues to fit the client's needs, and any questions that arise can be answered in a timely fashion In addition, the client can have continued input to the work-in-progress Distance from the client should not present many problems as digital files and verbal communications can be transferred across long distances quickly and easily I have provided for one trip to Toronto from Bracebridge for the database delivery and demonstration and an allowance for long-distance telephone charges and printing of reports and other office fees as itemized In the Costs section (9) of thiS document. There may be Instances of items that have yet to be identified and added later by the client (data stores and sampling strategies, queries and reports for example) It is difficult to foresee the scope and consequences of these undefined parameters Any items identified dUring this process that are considered extra and not expressly defined In this proposal can be added at any time uSing either the hourly support fee or added as an amended cost to this proposal 3. Schedule for Completion Upon awarding of the database project and agreement of the terms of this proposal and complete and final specification by TRCA of all data values and database objects to Include, I will prepare draft versions of the database for demonstration and use Within six (6) months Individual databases (as described in this document) will be delivered and demonstrated to TRCA staff as they are completed 4 Training/Demonstration/Documentation When the project IS completed, detailed documentation of each data application will be delivered with the databases in the form of a comprehensive user manual An additional one-page Fact Sheet will be provided for novice users to acquaint them with the use of these databases Demonstration (not detailed training) of the features of this application will also take the form of a seminar to all interested staff ThiS seminar will both highlight the details of the databases as deSigned, and also elaborate on future development phases that may occur Use of these databases IS expected to be completely self-explanatory from both the Fact Sheet documentation provided and the on-screen assistance Screen tips (activated as the mouse pointer moves Within proximity of the field on the Form) will be added on every Form to assist the user The detailed documentation will describe each aspect of the database and will provide necessary Information in the support and maintenance of thiS application If additional demonstration by the consultant is required on-site In Toronto, those terms may be added to the Costs (see Section 9 of this document) If these costs are not necessary they may be excluded from the final cost of development. 519 5 5 System/Software components The version of Access used by both the client and consultant IS Access 2000 Licensed copies of this program are limited at the TRCA. Despite this, no conflicts are anticipated from version design to implementation in the application software components There will be multiple database files created as linked files This will separate data from procedures and further, data types (water chemistry vs hydrology) from each other This will make the support more straightforward and maximize data performance It will also allow for heightened data security The database can (and should) reside on a LAN for distributed access to all staff This ensures that there is a single database copy in use for all staff, and that regular backups can occur as part of routine computer network administration It is vital that proper backups of this corporate data store occur In addition, Access should be completely (and not typically) installed at the client's location to allow the fullest use of all design features Including Import and Export of data tables can be an integral part of backups, but must necessarily include all data objects in the application too TRCA staff may consider using a central dedicated database pc to review and export data files This would allow staff to use their personal software preferences for data analysis and presentation There are no database security passwords or user-level permissions included in this proposal This level of protection should be added later as the next logical phase of this project as desired Incorporation of "Governing Business Rules" sets clear guidelines to restrict the access, maintenance, output and distribution of all collected data sets by users 6. Process for solving problems The routine progress reports are an important means to ensure that problems are solved as they arise This proposal allows for testing of all aspects of the database All of the original input data will be tested with the database, and the vagaries of new data will be anticipated Often, data that does not conform to the rules set-up in the database are the cause of future difficulties As such, all rules for data entry must be clearly stated by the client at the outset. The design of input masks and data validation rules, along with proper error trapping is essential to the smooth performance of this application It is conceivable that difficulties will arise with the database application after development as described has been completed These problems (or additional consulting) can be solved using the hourly support fee (see attached Fee Schedule) 7 Guarantee of Satisfaction I guarantee that the points listed in Items 1 through 6 will be fulfilled before submission of any invoices to the client. Invoices will be submitted by database, as this project will be adding components to existing base data sets currently installed at TRCA corporate office The terms of payment are itemized in Item 10 520 6 8 Database Copyright This proposal covers preparation and delivery of several databases (as Access2000 mdb files including all source code) to provide corporate data storage of environmental monitoring sample data. The design Will use accepted relational database standards, but the detail of the applications are unique to TRCA. These applications (and/or changes to the existing corporate data store) developed for the client will be protected by cOPYright and Will be the sole property of the client. As such, the client will have the right to freely use, modify and distribute this database application to any partners 9 Costs The estimates provided on a per database project basIs assume a base level of information (database obJects and capabilities included With original input data) to be incorporated with these applications as agreed to within the terms of this proposal 1 Database Development The estimates for each component of the database may vary between each component.

Gerri Lynn O'Connor THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS TO THE AUTHORITY THAT Clause 43 of Section X - Delegations, of the Rules of Conduct of the Authority be reviewed with respect to the required advance notice period for delegations, 538 AND FURTHER THAT staff report back with some suggested changes to Clause 43 CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority meeting #7/01, held on September 28,2001, Resolution #A19/01 as follows was approved THA T the Rules of Conduct of the Authority be reviewed and amended, if required, to include a policy on notification to deputants and presenters on deferral, referral or cancellation of their address to the Authority, Executive Committee or Advisory Board The Rules of Conduct for the Authority were adopted on June 12, 1986, with the most recent amendments made in 1999 Section X of the Rules of Conduct pertain specifically to the issue of delegations There are ten clauses within Section X dealing with delegations Three of these clauses are relevant to the issue raised by the Authority through Resolution A 19/01 These are Clauses 43, 46 and 49 Currently, clauses 43, 46 and 49 of the Rules of Conduct state 43 Any person or organization applying for an opportunity to address the Authority, Executive Committee or any Advisory Board may make a request, in writing, to the Secretary-Treasurer eight (8) days in advance of a scheduled meeting if such request is to be included in the agenda of that meeting The request should comprise a brief statement of the issue or matter involved and indicate the names of the proposed speakers. 46. No delegation, whether or not listed on the agenda pursuant to paragraph 43, shall be heard without a ruling by the Chair of the meeting giving leave, but such ruling may be immediately appealed by proper motion and the ruling of the meeting shall govern A representative of a Council of a member Municipality of the Authority, duly authorized by resolution of such Council and any member of the Authority shall be heard by the Executive Committee and Advisory Boards at the appropriate time as of right. 49 With respect to a delegation not listed on the agenda, but desiring an opportunity to be heard pursuant to paragraph 45 hereof, the procedure shall be 491 a motion shall be made by a member of the meeting that the delegation be added to the agenda, 492 if such motion passes, the Chair may immediately rule that the hearing of the delegation would be unfair or prejudicial to members or other persons not present because of lack of advance notice and that the hearing of the delegation be deferred to the next meeting and listed on that agenda pursuant to paragraph 44 hereof The Chair's ruling may be immediately appealed by proper motion and the ruling of the meeting shall then govern, 493 if the ruling in subparagraph 49 2 hereof is not made or sustained, the procedure in paragraph 48 hereof shall be followed 539 Policies for the City of Toronto, Region of Peel and the City of Mississauga, with respect to deputations and presentations, were examined for comparative purposes and it was determined that our policy is consistent with how municipal governments handle this matter The Rules of Conduct provide a procedure that has served the Authority well in terms of delegations and presentations The Authority and its boards, by majority vote, always has the option of hearing or not hearing a delegation or presentation To date, the Board has voted on every occasion except one, to hear a delegation whether they had met the terms of Clause 43 or not. It is therefore very rare for a delegation to not be heard which speaks well for the Authority's openess and transparency of decision making There is one situation however which staff suggest the Rules of Conduct for Delegations be reviewed and that is the requirement within Clause 43 for eight days advance notice This does place any potential delegation in a situation where they may not even be aware an item is on the agenda for the agenda does not go out much before eight days in advance of any meeting Therefore, unless any potential delegate is aware well in advance that an Item will be gOing to an Advisory Board or Authority meeting, it IS very difficult to meet the eight day notice criteria. This has not really been a problem for as stated above, virtually every delegation who has not met the eight day notice period has been allowed to speak under Clause 45 However, this is a technicality which could be used to not hear a delegation and this would appear to be somewhat unfair especially if they do not get the agenda earlier than eight days in advance Staff therefore are recommending Clause 43 be reviewed with respect to the eight day notice period and report back with some proposed modifications For Information contact: Craig Mather, 416-667-6289 Date October 25, 2001 Attachment: 1 540 Attachment 1 RULES FOR THE CONDUCT OF THE AUTHORITY 1999 As adopted by Resolution #34 of Meeting #2/86 of the Authority, held on the 21 st day of March, 1986, as amended by Resolution #75 and #76 of Meeting #4/86 of the Authority, held on the 13th day of June, 1986, as amended by Resolution #130 of Meeting #5/87 of the Authority, held on the 24th day of July, 1987, as amended by Resolution #200 of Meeting #6/91, held on the 6th day of September, 1991, as amended by Resolution #282 of Meeting #9/91 of the Authority, held on January 10, 1992, as amended by Resolution #64 of Meeting #2/92 of the Authority, held on March 27, 1992, as amended by Resolution #335 of Meeting #13/95 of the Authority, held on February 23, 1996, as amended by Resolution #A286 of Meeting #12/96 of the Authority, held on January 24, 1997, and as further amended by Resolution #A23 of Meeting #1/99 of the Authority, held on January 29, 1999 SECTION X - DELEGATIONS 41 When the Chair of the Authority believes that a large number of delegations will request an opportunity to address the Authority or Executive Committee with respect to a particular matter or matters, the Chair may summon a special meeting of the Authority or Executive Committee to deal with the particular matter or matters and the provisions of paragraphs 34, 35 and 36 shall apply as necessary 42.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Earlier this year the Authority made the decision to close the Boyd Field Centre as an educational facility A number of uses were considered and the highest priority was allocation of office, storage and meeting room space for several Watershed Management Division functions The existing nursery operation offices are inadequate and will require extensive renovations to continue to be used safely Future widening of Rutherford Road will make the entrance to the nursery unsafe Moving nursery staff to Boyd is the most cost effective solution Staff being relocated to Boyd include a number of related functions Also, there is a storage building on the site which will meet a number of functional needs Boyd Field Centre is located close to the main nursery site and is a relatively central location for engineering staff RATIONALE Staff has begun the process of conversion of the former field centre to offices, meeting rooms and storage A key component is a high speed computer and communications link with head office About 25 to 30 staff will work from this facility and they will have to be able to exchange information via phone, internet, e-mail etc. The proposed system will provide seamless voice and voice mail for Boyd staff who will continue to use their existing head office extensions The system can be maintained centrally and in future, should they need it, Boyd staff will be able to use the Symposium call centre features of the head office system The best technical solution is to use the existing infrastructure at head office, particularly the Nortel Meridien PBX and Meridien Voice Mail system TRCA has a maintenance contract with Telus National Systems Inc (formerly Williams Communications) which was the successful bidder when the system was purchased several years ago Under the industry standard terms of this contract, Telus is the only supplier who can supply new components for the system without voiding the various maintenance agreements TRCA has had a successful relationship with Telus They have provided excellent service at competitive prices Staff did investigate other sources such as Bell Canada and they confirmed that under the industry rules, they could not quote on the work. 577 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The cost of the voice/data components is $58,139 58 plus taxes Funding for the retrofit project is available in the 2001 approved budget. Additionally, there will be an annual operating cost for the T1 communications link of $2,896 20/month This price of the T1 link was quoted by Bell and the Telus price is the lowest available Report prepared by' Jim Dillane, extension 6292 For Information contact: Jim Dillane, extension 6292 Date October 31, 2001 RES.#B146/01 - REPORT ON THE WORK CARRIED OUT ON THE PICKERING/UXBRIDGE TOWNLlNE ROAD ALLOWANCE CFN 32575 Report on the road construction carried out by Rick Johnson on the unimproved Pickenng/Uxbndge Road allowance between Westney Road and Balsam Road in the vicinity of the Authority's land holdings in the Glen Majors/Walker Woods area, Duffins Creek watershed Moved by' Jim McMaster Seconded by Michael Di Biase THAT the Authority expresses its regret with the unfortunate circumstances which resulted in the damage to Authority lands adjacent to the Pickering/Uxbridge Townline, to the ESA #111 and this portion of the Trans Canada Trail, THAT the Authority continue to work with Mr Johnson to resolve the encroachment on TRCA property which is to include removal of fill, replacing the fence, seeding and planting in accordance with the written commitment made by Mr Johnson and his solicitor; THAT the Authority work with the City of Pickering, the Township of Uxbridge, the community and other land owners in the area to close and reinstate the road allowance and restore the Trans Canada Trail AND FURTHER THAT the Authority work with the community, the Township of Uxbridge and the City of Pickering to ensure that similar circumstances do not occur on other unopened or unimproved road allowances in order to protect them for trail development and other open space uses.

AND FURTHER THAT the new fee schedule become effective as of January 1, 2002. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1988, the Authority implemented an administrative fee for regulation services The fee structure and rates have been reviewed annually and adjusted as recommended When reviewing the fee schedule, staff has regard for practices of other Conservation Authorities, practices of local Municipalities, and the objectives of affordability, simplicity and reasonable rate adjustments The current fee schedule for the TRCA's Ontario Regulation 158 for Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways permits has been in effect since January 1, 1996 Since then, the number of TRCA permits issued has gradually risen from 221 in 1996 to 283 in 1998 to 436 in 2000 In a recent comparison of permit fees, the TRCA's fees were found to be considerably lower than other Conservation Authority permit fees in south-central Ontario Additionally, several other Conservation Authorities have recently updated their fee schedules to help cover shortfalls and lost revenue, these include the Lake Simcoe Region and Grand River Conservation Authorities in 1999, and Niagara Peninsula, Nottawasaga and Ganaraska Conservation Authorities in 2001 RATIONALE The demands on the Authority's permit review services has steadily increased over the years Although adaptations have been made to meet the needs of our clients (through restructuring and database improvements), there is still a need to balance our annual budget. Development Services delivers necessary but labour-intensive programs and the Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways regulation program is no exception Three main objectives were considered when developing the new fees Firstly, new fees are to be comparable to fees charged by other Conservation Authorities (Attachment 1) and Municipal building permit fees (Attachment 2) Secondly, permit fees are to be integrated with associated TRCA planning fees And thirdly, to ensure that fees are reasonable to avoid the disincentive of obtaining a permit. 614 In 2000, the total revenue from permit fees generated as part of the regulation program was $91, 794 This amount represents approximately 28% of the Development Services Section and 13 5% of the Authority's total expenditure on regulation services Additionally, the permit fee revenue fell short of the target revenue of $95, 000 outlined in the 2000 budget. Revenue targets for permit fees have been increased in the 2001 and 2002 budgets to $110,000 The new fees will generate approximately $141 , 000 in revenues and will cover 43% of Development Services Section and 21 % of the Authority's expenditure for regulation services (Attachment 3) The estimated revenue figure is based on permit applications received in 2000 I Proposed Fees The fee rates have been updated to better reflect the level of administrative effort associated with regulation services while maintaining affordability,simplicity, and reasonable rate adjustments The proposed fee adjustments also better reflect a user pay approach to the regulation services provided by the Development Services Section Attachment 4 outlines the new fee schedule in comparison to the current fee schedule It is proposed that the new fee schedule would become effective January 1, 2002 Related to permit fees, staff are also working on a streamlined approval process and reduced fee for works considered minor in nature WORK TO BE DONE Following approval by the Authority, staff will notify clients and adjacent Conservation Authorities of the January 1, 2002 adjustments to the TRCA Fee Schedule for Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation Permits This will be done by direct mailing, news release, and information bulletins Staff generally allow 30 days from implementation as a transition period before the revised fees are enforced Report prepared by' Chris Hibberd, extension 5281 For Information contact: Chris Hibberd, extension 5281 Date November 12, 2001 Attachments 4 615 Attachment 1 Permit Fee Schedule Comparison TRCA cvc LSRCA HRCA NVCA CLOCA KRCA Ganaraska HMRCA Niagara Grand River Private $100 fiD/constructlon $225 llat lee $150 minor $200 llat toe mInor $50/$200 mtnor $50 $60 (fiR leQulated) $130 to $420 fill $100 mll1or$150 Residential minor $200 watercourse maJOf$200 $100 (floodplain) +$87 SO/hf > ConstructIOn $400 +$100{hr majOr $450 att (hea.nng/no $100 (alteroh::m to 15 hrs rev.ew $100, $400, >15hrs reYICW a/terlllhon to $200 rnlOOr heanng) waterway) $000, $1000 waterway S/M/L cons, fin, rnBJOr $500 +$3O-$60fhr >4hB Watercourse Aft $300/$550/$550 maJo< work $100, $500, +$35""r watercounJo $1000 > 18hr3 att $400 maJOf' com Munk:lpal $100 filVconstrucbon $225 I18t fee $250 mlllOr $200 llat toe mInor $50/$200 rnlOOr $50 $60 (fiR ,egulated) $130 to $<420 F~I $100 mUlar $150 minor $200 cons, majOr $200 $100 (fIoodplam) +$87 SO/hr > ConstructIOn $400 +$100thr major $450 walercourso (he.anngjno $100 (altQratlOn to 15 hrs reVKlW $100, $400, > 15h~ r9VIOW altaratJon to att hGanng) waterway) $600, $1000 wetotway S/MIL $400 fill, major $500 +$3()..$60/hr >4hrs Watercourse AIt $3OO/$55O/$5SO majOr cons work $100, $500, +$35/hr +$60fhr $1000 >16hrs >8hrs $500 major watercourso alt +$60/hr >10hrs r<lVI9W Utllltle. $2SO filVconstruchon $225 flat fee $250 mtnOf $200 llat toe minor $50/$200 minor $50 $60 (fillleQulotod) $130 to $420 Fla$100 mlrlOr$150 minor $200 cons, mBJOr $200 $100 (floodplain) +$87 5O/hr > Construction $400 +$1oo/hr mojor $450 watercour3e (heanng/no $100 (ah:eraoon to 15 hrs r&V)9W $100, $400, > 15hrs reVktW alteration to att heanng) watarway) $600, $1000 waterway S/M/l. $400 fill, mBJOr $500 +$3O-$60/hr > 4hrs Watercourse Aft $300/$550/$550 major cons work $100, $500, +$35/11r +$60/I1r $1000 > 16hr3 >8hr3 $500 majOr watercourse e.h +$60/hr >10hrs "'VI9W Muhllot/Unft <10 lots $300 fill/construction $225 llat foo $700 mlllOr $200 llat ,.. minor $50/$200 minor $50 $60 +$30 each for >10 units FIO$l00 $1200 +$100/hr 10-100 1otJ; $500 minor $200 cons, mBJOr $200 additIOnal lot (Fdl $1365 ConstructIOn > 5Ohr3 revtflW >100 lots $1500 mojor $4S0 watercoUr38 (heenng/no regulated) +$8755/hr $100, $400, ah:erabon to alt +$60/hr heanng) $100 +$60 each >50hrs $600, $1000 waterway S/M/l. >l4hrs majOr $500 addrtlOnellot "'VI9W Wetercou~e Att $300/$550/$550 $looofiO, (Floodplain) $100, $500, +$35fhr meJOf COM, $1000 >t6hrs watercourse .tt +$60/hr>20h rs r8VlOW Resourc.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Further information and background regarding this item can be found in a staff report to the Watershed Management Advisory Board, Meeting #4/01 held October 19, 2001 At this meeting, the Board recommended the following resolution "THE BOARD RECOMMENDS TO THE AUTHORITY THA T staff be authorized to obtain participant standing at the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing on the Sixteenth Warden Limited referrals, THA T staff continue to pursue the resolution of Authority issues in cooperation with all relevant parties and participants prior to the commencement of the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing, AND FURTHER THA T staff report back to a future meeting of the Authority once additional information associated with the subject applications is available" Staff attended the Pre-Hearing Conference of the Ontario Municipal Board on October 29th, 2001, and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority was granted participant standing with respect to this matter A further Pre-Hearing Conference is scheduled for December 12th, 2001, following which the Hearing is scheduled to commence on January 28, 2002. In terms of background, Sixteenth Warden Limited is the owner of approximately 23 4 hectares (58 acres) of land located on the west side of Warden Avenue, midway between Major Mackenzie Drive and Sixteenth Avenue, being Part of Lots 17 and 18, Concession 4, in the Town of Markham The property contains both the Berczy Creek along its eastern property boundary fronting onto Warden Avenue, and the Carlton Creek along the southerly property boundary Both valley corridors are regulated pursuant to the Authority's Fill, Construction and Alteration to WatefWays Regulation (Ontario Regulation 158) and would reqUire a permit from the Authority for any works 621 Sixteenth Warden Limited is proposing the development of a 47 lot residential subdivision on full municipal services In 1984 the lands were originally draft approved as an 18 lot residential subdivision on private services, with a future development block adjoining Warden Avenue Draft approval was extended a number of times up to 1995, at which time the plan was revised and draft approvals were granted for 20 lots on urban services The Town of Markham in 1995 also passed a by-law adopting Official Plan Amendment No 13 which redesignated the tablelands from Rural Residential to Urban Residential and Open Space, and incorporated the lands into the Urban Service Area. The lands are currently zoned Suburban Residential First Density (SUR 1) and Suburban Residential Third Density (SUR 3) by By-law 118-79, as amended STATUS UPDATE Staff has previously been involved with the review and approval of applications associated with the subject property In terms of TRCA interests, these are for the most part related to the Berczy Creek and Carlton Creek valley and stream corridors traversing the property In accordance with the direction from the Pre-Hearing Conference of October 29th, 2001, staff attended a site meeting with the applicant, the Town and interested parties, to review and discuss a number of issues affecting this proposal The purpose of the site meeting was to confirm the previously staked top-of-bank; review the provision of buffers being afforded as part of this development; review the location of services and crossings of the valley feature, and assess a drainage feature traversing the property Top-of-Bank The previously staked top-of-bank was reviewed in the field in order to determine its relevancy to the current proposal and any changes and/or additional information required to support the confirmation of these limits A number of points were revised to more accurately reflect the top-of-bank limit, and further geotechnical confirmation was requested to address the coincident location of the watercourse to the toe of slope in two locations Staff also requested the applicant undertake and submit an Edge Management Plan to address any vegetation which may be impacted by the proposed development, and to recommend measures which should be incorporated into the design of the site Staff are awaiting the submission of both the Edge Management Plan and the addendum to the Geotechnical Report. Buffers There were a number of instances where a minimum 10 metre buffer was not being achieved as part of the proposal, this has now been revised such that a minimum 10 metre buffer is achieved in all instances, consistent with other developments along this reach Servicinq Staff has reviewed the proposed valley location for the crossing of services in the field, which appears to be generally consistent with earlier proposals and preliminary technical submissions made to the TRCA pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 The area in question is for the most part void of mature vegetation, although there is a stand alone tree which the applicant has advised will be protected Further details will be required at the permitting stage, 622 at which time opportunities for mitigation and enhancement will also be reviewed It was noted that a proposed stormwater management facility was not provided access for maintenance purposes, which has now been addressed Drainaqe Feature A question had been raised regarding a drainage feature bisecting the subject property from the north and ultimately draining to the Carlton Creek Staff were provided a copy of a report prepared by Ecoplans Limited which provided an assessment of this drainage feature Based on the site meeting and the findings of the Ecoplans assessment, staff agreed that the drainage feature affords little more than local drainage connection from the subject property and does not constitute a watercourse The treatment of this drainage feature can be appropriately addressed as part of the overall drainage scheme for the subject lands WORK TO BE DONE As noted in the report, there are a number of outstanding reports to be submitted by the applicant. Staff will continue to work with the applicant, the Town, and all relevant parties to achieve a plan which is reflective of the goals and objectives of the TRCA and the Rouge Park Management Plan Authority staff will gauge progress in this regard and will participate in the upcoming Ontario Municipal Board Hearing as necessary For Information contact: Russel White, extension 5306 Report prepared by' Kathy Stranks, extension 5284 Date November 28, 2001 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR EXECUTIVE ACTION RES.#B159/01 - APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterway Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 written permission from the Authority is required to (a) construct any building or structure or permit any building or structure to be constructed in or on a pond or swamp or in any area susceptible to flooding during a Regional Storm, (b) place or dump fill or permit fill to be placed or dumped in the areas described in the schedules whether such fill is already located in or upon such area, or brought to or on such area from some other place or places, (c) straighten, change, divert or interfere in any way with the existing channel of a river, creek, stream, or watercourse A permit may be refused through a Hearing Process, if in the opinion of the Authority, the conservation of land, control of flooding or pollution is affected Moved by' Jim McMaster Seconded by' Gerrj Lynn O'Connor 623 THAT permits be granted in accordance with Ontario Regulation 158 for the applications (8.1 1 - 8.1 10, with the exception of 8.1.3 - City of Toronto), which are listed below CARRIED RES.#B160/01 - APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 8.1.3 - City of Toronto Moved by' Irene Jones Seconded by' Gerrj Lynn O'Connor THAT a permit be granted in accordance with Ontario Regulation 158 for the application 8.1 3 - City of Toronto, which is listed below CARRIED CITY OF BRAMPTON 8.1 1 HYDRO ONE BRAMPTON To place fill within a regulated area on Lot 13, Concession 2 EHS, (Westcreek Boulevard and Hwy 407), in the City of Brampton, Etobicoke Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by Hydro One Brampton The purpose is to place fill in a regulated area for the purpose of installing 4, 100mm high polyethylene ducts under the Etobicoke Creek by directional bore drilling These ducts are required to facilitate the installation of insulated, high voltage cables The permit will be issued for the period of December 7, 2001 to December 6, 2003 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: .

With the recent announcement of the Provincial Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and with the funding from the MOE, there is a strategic opportunity to revise the Phase 2 work plan to assist the Regional Municipalities in meeting the requirements laid out in the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, while at the same time making effective use of the Provincial funding The proposed work plan calls for a slight shifting of priorities that will lead to the efficient use of the Provincial funding in the short time frame allocated to the spending of these monies The activities to be carried out under the work plan involve a mix of data acquisition, 653 hydrogeological analyses and policy/guideline development, and consist of the following components to be carried out over the coming years 1 Development of a Data Model (including methods for transferring data back and forth between agencies) 2. Development of a Regional Groundwater Model 3 Development of Local Groundwater Models (as data availability and priority dictate) 4 Collection of Saseflow & Stream information 5 Collection of Geophysical Logging Information 6 Collection of Updated Static Water Levels 7 Establishment of program to collect strategic data from consultants (e g Gan Eden study) 8 Collection of strategic geological and hydrogeological information through the drilling of new wells and geophysics surveys 9 Updating of MOE Water Well Record Information 10 Development of a Strategic Long Term Monitoring Program 11 Undertaking Groundwater Use Studies as part of larger water budget analyses 12. Compile a database of potentially contaminated and known contaminated sites 13 Development of Consistent Policies/Guidelines/Procedures for Groundwater Management. 14 Development of Education/Awareness Programs 15 Aquifer Vulnerability Mapping 16. Aquifer Characterization At a meeting of the YPD Management Team on November 30, 2001 a subset of the above components (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 13, 15, and 16) was put forward as projects that would be considered as priorities in terms of allocating the MOE's funding Acceptance of the MOE funding will not significantly alter the originally planned Year 1 deljverables of the YPD Phase 2 work program, "but rather will allow the acceleration of certain components that address longer term objectives FINANCIAL DETAILS With the acceptance of the Ministry of Environment funding there is a commitment to allocate a total of $93,750 to make up the 15% of the partner funding required This funding is currently available from the York Peel Durham Groundwater Management Strategy Study (Account # 115-90), but may be offset by contributions from individual study partners in association with / locally funded study budgets Report prepared by.

Moved by. Maria Augimeri Seconded by. Jim McMaster THAT Earthfx Inc. be retained under the York Peel Durham Groundwater Management Strategy Study at an upset limit of $91,000, plus GST, to assemble a comprehensive data model that will set the foundation for the project. CARRIED BACKGROUND The York Peel Durham Groundwater Management Strategy Study is moving into the second phase of investigation A Project Manager, Steve Holysh, has been retained and a Management Team, consisting of staff members from the Regions of York, Peel and Durham as well as staff from CVC, LSRCA, TRCA, CLOCA, KRCA, GRCA has been brought together to oversee the project. The Management Team has met on five occasions over the past several months to develop a strategic work plan to move forward in our understanding of the groundwater system across the York Peel and Durham (YPD) area and develop a groundwater management program One of the first tasks that has been identified as critical is data management. In this time of enormous computer power, sound data management is not only prudent, it is indeed a responsibility of public agencies We must start assembling comprehensive digital data bases that will set the foundation for long term successful groundwater management. Although there has been much discussion of data management over the past several years there has yet to be any significant advancements made in terms of achieving coordination and cooperation between various public sector agencies The YPD Management Team is committed to moving to a comprehensive groundwater focused data model that will be used by all agencies The envisioned data model must be robust and will provide . a logical, sound framework for storing a disparate collection of water and geology related databases, . an easy methodology for incorporating data into the database, . ready access to data by all partner agencies - through a web site, . easy querying of data, and . solid tabular, graphical, and mapping visualization of the data. The York/Peel/Durham Study Management Team has identified the need to hire consulting services to proceed with this project. A project terms of reference has been prepared which includes the following tasks and deliverables 658 . assessment of data to be incorporated into data model, . construction of data model framework, . population of database, . data and metadata standards, . data reconciliation procedures (to ensure that databases at all agencies are updated and reconciled with the database that is on the web), . designing of effective data entry procedures, . development of effective data searching procedures, and . development of web hosted data model RATIONALE In moving towards the selection of a consultant to undertake this critical task, the Management Team extensively discussed the issue at two meetings Individual members were asked to review their lists of consultants who were capable of undertaking such an exercise It was agreed that there are only a few companies in Canada who offer services in the area of groundwater data management, modelling, and web hosting Of these companies Earthfx Inc. has the most advanced data management capabilities With unmatched advantages in the following areas . linked database, interpretation, modelling, and visualization software, . advanced geological interpretation software, and . seamless link between database and interpretation software that facilitates updates to groundwater models as well as databases The Ministry of the Environment was also consulted, and advised that during a previous round of groundwater investigations undertaken by the MOE over the past two years, the Ministry also searched for a firm capable of managing the data that was coming in from the over 30 groundwater based projects that were funded by the MOE. They selected Earthfx and purchased Sitefx, their data management software, for all of the funded projects The data architect for the MOE has evaluated the Earthfx system and found that is was sufficiently sound to be the MOE's standard for entering data into the Land Information Ontario database Earthfx Inc. was asked to submit a quote for the work. Their estimate of an upset limit of $91,000, plus GST, was considered by the YPD Study Management Team to be consistent with industry standards and with the overall budgeting of the YPD Study The other critical consideration that must be deliberated is the timing of this data model project. The YPD Management Team recognizes that the Ministry's release of $10 Million funding for groundwater projects, $2 Million of which is to be allocated to YPD projects, along with the requirement that this money be spent by next October, presents two serious challenges in obtaining value for money. Ten million dollars to be spent over a ten-month period will put severe pressure on the groundwater consulting community - the first projects out of the blocks will get the best consultants With Earthfx as a known leader in. the groundwater community there is no question that other projects will soon be seeking their services 659 The Regional Municipalities as well as the YPD Team will be tendering a number of groundwater related projects in the next two to three months There is an urgent need to have in place a framework for managing the data right up front as these projects are initiated This will save considerable effort in having to retrofit data bases into the constructed YPD data model The YPD Study Management Team has, therefore, identified a strong interest in proceeding with the hire of Earthfx Inc. to assemble a comprehensive data model FINANCIAL DETAILS There is sufficient funding in the York Peel Durham Groundwater Management Strategy Study (Account # 115-90) budget to retain the services of Earthfx Inc The Ministry of the Environment is in the process of funding the study with a further $531 ,250 Report prepared by.

Year 1 $32,521 Year 2 $40,591 Year 3 $48.661 Year 4 $56.731 Year 5 $64,800 AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required to give affect to the lease extension. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Executive Committee Meeting #7/91, held on July 12, 1991, under Res #135 staff was directed to enter into a contract with Verne Leonard Company (1987) Limited for the construction of the Claireville Field Centre and to enter into a 10 year lease with the Etobicoke Board of Education for the use of the centre for the purpose of carrying out a natural science and conservation education program This lease expired on December 31, 2001 and the Toronto District School Board has requested to extend this lease for a further five year period, commencing January 1, 2002 and ending December 31, 2006 The Toronto District School Board will continue to pay the Authority a base rent, and will continue to be responsible for the payment of taxes, insurance, utilities and all maintenance costs associated with the leased lands The leased area is comprised of approximately 2.47 acres, and includes the usage of 5,400 sq ft. of building and access to the leased area. The Board will also have access to the Claireville Conservation Area and non-exclusive use of trails and existing roads The market value rent of $64,800 was supported by an independent appraiser This rental rate is much higher than the current rental rate of $24,451 paid in 2001 and in order to assist the Toronto District School Board with this higher rental rate it is recommended that we establish a schedule to phase in this increase over the five year rental period 670 The Authority presently uses a portion of the ground floor of the building for file storage The Executive Committee at its meeting on December 7,2001, approved a contract with Iron Mountain Canada Corporation to undertake the AuthOrity's file storage requirements The removal of the files from the Claireville building is complete, freeing up space on the ground floor ThiS space will be offered to the Toronto District School Board and the rental rate will be increased accordingly FINANCIAL IMPLICATION This has been a very beneficial partnership whereby the Toronto District School Board has been able to deliver a very successful outdoor program in a natural setting and the Authority has received an on going revenue stream In addition the Toronto District School Board has provided a measure of security and presence since the closing of Claireville Conservation Area in the early 1990's As a result staff are recommending extension of the lease for another 5 years RATIONALE The Toronto District School Board is responsible for all costs associated with the use and maintenance of the centre, with no costs borne by the Authority Report prepared by.

Lorna Bissell Seconded by Jim McMaster THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Section 8 1 of the Rules For The Conduct of the Authority 1999, be deleted and the following substituted such that the positions of Chair and Vice Chair of the Authority's Advisory Boards and the required positions on the Executive Committee shall be filled for a term of three years Section 8 1 The appointment of auditors and the election of the Chair and Vice Chair of the Authority shall be held at the first meeting of the Authority in each year; The election of the Chairs and Vice Chairs of the Advisory Boards and the election of the remaining members of the Executive Committee shall be held every three years at the Annual Meeting immediately following every municipal election, In the event any Chair, Vice Chair or Executive Member does not wish or is unable to continue to hold their position for the full three year t~rm, they will make this known to the Secretary-Treasurer in advance of the first meeting of the Authority in each calendar year and an election for this position shall be held , AND FURTHER THAT this change be deemed to be effective from the Annual Meeting held on February 23, 2001 AMENDMENT RES.#B174/01 , Moved by Lorna Bissell Seconded by. Jim McMaster THAT the following be inserted after the main motion THAT the dates of future Annual Meetings be changed to accomodate the budget meeting schedule for our member municipalities, such that the Annual Meeting held following a municipal election be in January while the Annual Meetings in the interim two years between elections be moved to February; 677 AND FURTHER THAT the member municipalities be required to make their appointments to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority prior to the scheduled Annual Meeting date. THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED BACKGROUND The Conservation Authorities Act requires in Sect 17 (1), that at the first meeting of an Authority and at the first meeting held in each year, the Authority shall appoint a Chair and one or more Vice Chairs from among its Members The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has used its Annual General Meeting as the meeting to elect its Chair and Vice Chair The Authority has also used this meeting to elect the various Chairs and Vice Chairs of its Advisory Boards and to elect the members of the Executive Committee This annual election of the various Advisory Board Chairs and Vice Chairs is not required under the Conservation Authorities Act. The Authority's own regulations do require that these positions be filled by election on an annual basis Section 8 1 of the Rules For The Conduct Of The Authority 1999 states "The appointment of auditors and the election of officers shall be held at the first meeting of the Authority in each year; " The annual election of officers at one time may have reflected the municipal practice at the time the Authority's regulations were developed Today the municipal terms of office are three years and the municipal appointment of Members to the Authority are for a three year term except for the City of Toronto which currently appoints its Members for an 18 month term Given our recent history, where the officers elected at the Annual meeting immediately following the municipal election do not tend to change until after the next municipal election, it is appropriate to amend our regulations to have the officers of the Authority, except for the Chair and Vice Chair, elected for a three year term With this change, the first Annual Meeting after the municipal election would provide for the election of the Chair and the Vice Chair along with the election of all of the remaining positions including the formation of the Executive Committee The following two Annual Meetings would require only the election of the Authority Chair and Vice Chair Also, the Regulations could provide for the situation where an Advisory Board Chair or Vice Chair or Executive Committee Member does not wish or cannot continue for the full term, by allowing for an election of these positions at the Annual Meeting if required Section 18 of the Rules of Conduct provides for filling of vacancies of Advisory Boards By amending the Regulations prior to this year's Annual Meeting, the Authority would confirm the current positions, except for the positions of Chair and Vice Chair, until the Annual Meeting in January 2004 after the next municipal election It is recommended that the Authority Rules of Conduct be amended as follows to implement the new procedures (The Bolded words are new or changed) 678 Section 8 1 The appointment of auditors and the election of the Chair and Vice Chair of the Authority shall be held at the first meeting of the Authority in each year The election of the Chairs and Vice Chairs of the Advisory Boards and the election of the remaining members of the Executive Committee shall be held every three years at the Annual Meeting immediately following every municipal election, In the event any Chair, Vice Chair or Executive Member does not wish or is unable to continue to hold their position for the full three year term, they will make this known to the Secretary-Treasurer in advance of the first meeting of the Authority in each calendar year and an election for this position shall be held, FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications as a result of this change to the Rules of Conduct.

Letter of Undertaking from Stan Bertoia, Director of Environmental Services, Town of Markham (Re Acknowledging that the TRCA permit cannot be released for the proposed works, including the final location of the Unionville Lions Club monument arch outside the hydraulic floodway of the Bruce Creek, until all design and drawing details have been addressed to the satisfaction of TRCA staff) dated and received on January 15, 2002 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information Proposal The proposal consists of excavating and placing fill material as part of the construction of a switchback trail connection from the Unionville Library to the existing trail located on the adjacent valley floor; a minor realignment of the valley trail next to the parking lot at the northeast corner of Main Street and Carlton Road, and construct a Unionville Lions Club concrete / wrought iron monument arch and a 30 metre by 3 0 metre concrete pad The proposal has been initiated by the Unionville Lions Club The Lions Club has applied for grant funding for this Millennium Project from the Trillium Foundation The switchback trail connection is necessary to achieve a gentle enough gradient for access down the valley slope for the physically challenged (usually a grade of approximately 10%) The eXisting access from 701 the Unionville Library is via a wooden staircase down the valley wall at this location, the height of the slope is approximately 5 metres at an angle of roughly 2:1 (H V) The minor trail realignment on the other (i e west) side of the Bruce Creek, next to the existing parking lot, is located entirely on the valley floor and away from any valley slope All of the proposed works are situated entirely within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill Regulated Area of the Bruce Creek. Staff have met on-site with Town of Markham staff, as well as with members of the Lions Club, and advocated that the proposed Unionville Lions Club monument arch be located outside the hydraulic floodway portion of the Regional Storm flood plain within the valley park next to the library; details confirming the final location of the monument arch are presently being addressed in this regard The exception is the proposed concrete pad (to be used for Lions Club barbecue events) which will be constructed at grade within the hydraulic floodway Control of Flooding The earthwork for the proposed switchback trail connection down the valley slope will be balanced so that fill material cut will equal the amount placed at the bottom of switchback (i e no net importation of fill within the Regional Storm flood plain) The minor trail realignment to the west of the Bruce Creek will occur at existing grade As mentioned above, the Unionville Lions Club monument arch will be located outside the hydraulic floodway; the proposed concrete pad can remain within the floodway since it will be constructed at grade Therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works Pollution Silt fencing will be installed between the work areas and the Bruce Creek to impede the overland migration of construction-generated sediments Conservation of Land There will be no impacts with respect to the stability of the valley corridor as a result of the proposed works Some trees will have to be removed for the proposed switchback; however, TRCA has requested that more native woody vegetation be replaced along the disturbed slope area and within the riparian zone of the Bruce Creek throughout the park. This will result in a net benefit to the valley corridor natural habitats In addition, all filled and disturbed areas will be revegetated with native herbaceous ground cover species (i e native wildflowers and grasses / sedges) Policy Guidelines The proposal complies with Section 4 2.2(H) - Existing Resource-based Uses - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program CFN 32787 Application #. 016/02/MARK Report Prepared by.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information Proposal The proposal consists of excavating and placing fill material as part of the construction of a new 1 0 metre high concrete block retaining wall and a poured concrete patio behind the existing dwelling The rear yard of this property contains a two-tiered, terraced slope directly behind the existing dwelling The lower toe of slope blends into the flat valley floor for the remainder of the backyard area. The proposed retaining wall and patio will be constructed at the top of the first tier and will replace a wooden retaining wall previously removed from the lower tier The properties along this reach of the valley corridor have been extensively altered, with many structural encroachments (i e retaining walls, stairs, fences, swimming pools, decks, etc ) extending well below the valley top-of-bank. Based on a visual inspection of the corridor reach, there appears to be more structural encroachments in the rear yards of the neighbouring properties than in the backyard of the subject lands There will be a net benefit resulting from this proposal, as the previously removed wooden retaining wall was in a deteriorated condition and the terraces will be planted with native woody vegetation The entire property is located within the Fill Regulated Area of the Rouge River Control of Flooding No part of the subject property is situated within the Regional Storm flood plain Pollution Silt fencing will be installed on the lower terraced portion of the backyard slope below the work site to impede the overland migration of construction-generated sediments Conservation of Land Engineering staff has reviewed the proposal and determined that a geotechnical analysis is not required in support of the works, however, staff has requested that the proposed retaining wall design be certified and stamped by a structural engineer No significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works, all disturbed areas will be revegetated / stabilized following construction Policy Guidelines The proposal complies with Section 4.2.2(E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program 703 CFN 32700 Application #. 362/01/MARK Report Prepared by.

All excavated fill material will be removed from the site Therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works Pollution Sedimentation is not expected during construction, as the work site is located approximately 110 metres from the watercourse 704 Conservation of Land The entire property is situated on the relatively level (and historically developed) area of the Rouge River stream corndor at this location, there are no slope instability / geotechnical issues evident at this site No significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works All graded and disturbed areas will be revegetated / stabilized following construction Policy Guidelines The proposal complies with Section 4 2 1 (C) - Existing Special Policy Areas - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program CFN 32553 Application #. 276/01/MARK Report Prepared by. George Leja, extension 5342 For information contact: Russel White, extension 5306 Date January 8, 2002 RES.#B177/01 - THE ARSENAL LANDS (FORMER CANADA POST PROPERTY) REMEDIATION Area 17 Contaminated Soil Cleanup Turnkey Remediation Services 1400 Lakeshore Rd East Mississauga Ontario To complete turnkey remediation services associated with Area 17 within the Arsenal Lands in the City of Mississauga prior to finalization of the Record of Site Condition to be filed with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. Moved by Lorna Bissell Seconded by. Jim McMaster THAT the staff report concerning the completion of soil and groundwater remediation within Area 17 of the former Arsenal Lands be received CARRIED BACKGROUND The Arsenal Lands at 1400 Lakeshore Road East were part of a larger property that was used as a training area for the Department of National Defence prior to World War I The property was developed as a manufacturer of rifles and small arms during the Second World War which continued into the 1950s as Canadian Arsenals The property was transferred to Canada Post in 1981 and the main building was used as a mail sorting facility until its sale to the MTRCA (now TRCA) in 1991 Prior to purchasing the property, the TRCA undertook site assessments in 1991 and 1992 which identified several areas containing soils which would require remediation and/or environmental management. In 1995 INTERA Consultants Ltd (now Duke Engineering & Services) was retained by TRCA to prepare a site remediation plan as a component of an integrated site remediation/park planning process Angus Environmental Ltd completed the associated risk assessment work. Duke Engineering & Services (Canada) Inc (Duke) was retained to prepare the Final Work Plan and oversee remedial works on the site Site activities began in October 1998 and were complete in November 1999 Formal comments on the 705 remedial activities as well as the reporting mechanism were received from the Ministry of the Environment in a memorandum dated December 12, 2000, in which several items of concern/clarification were raised In response to the hydrogeological concerns raised by the MOE, Terraprobe Limited provided professional peer review services on behalf of the TRCA. Also as result of these concerns, Duke was retained (Executive Meeting #4/01 for an upset limit of $10,325 00) to reinstall and develop two monitoring wells and undertake additional borehOle/groundwater sampling Sample analysis of the subsequent works indicated elevated, (ie higher than previously reported) concentrations of hydrocarbons in the soil and groundwater These results were forwarded to Angus Environmental Ltd for comment on the effects of the elevated soil and groundwater contaminate levels on the Site Specific Risk Assessment. Comments received from Angus indicated that significant revision to the document as well as additional sampling and modelling would be required to bring the SSRA into conformance with the current conditions Angus provided an estimate of $6,500 00 to carry out this work. It was also estimated that 1-2 months for data collection, 1-2 months for modelling and report writing plus at least 2 months for MOE to comment would be required Recently, TRCA staff convened an informal site inspection to determine the impact of contaminate removal on the existing woodlot. TRCA Nursery staff inspected the site and determined that little impact to the overall woodlot would result with removal activities A majority of Area 17 (which is approx. 600 square metres in area) is dominated by understorey vegetation (grape, stag horn sumac, rose spp and poison ivy), while only 10 mature trees would be removed Staff identified 1 multistem butternut, 2 red oak stems, 2 soft maples, 2 white birch & 3 trembling aspen, within the area. It was also determined that the area could be easily regraded and revegetated Also the logs from the clearing operations could be further utilized in other habitat creation projects CRA Contractors Ltd was approved to undertake clean-up activities as per Resolution #A 172/01 of Authority Meeting #7 held on September 28, 2001 Works commenced on October 18th 2001, and by November 17th 2001, a total of 1,962.16 tonnes of contaminated soil and 9000 litres of contaminated water were removed and disposed of off-site These activities resulted in Area 17 as being deemed "clean" as per Ministry of the Environment contaminated site clean-up qriteria. The extra volumes involved resulted in an increase in costs of approximately $36,000 beyond the original estimate of $127,824 RATIONALE The original contract value was based upon a scope of work defined from site investigations which had reasonable assumptions made in the quantification of the amount of contaminated soil present in Area 17 During the course of excavation, further evidence of contamination outside the project boundaries was uncovered and verified Due to the fact that the material was uncovered, and accessible, as well as to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, the contractor was authorized by staff to remove the additional quantities at a pre-determined extra cost. Having the contractor remove the additional material as an extra saved long term costs with the elimination of the risk of cross-contamination and re-mobilization costs to complete the works 706 FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds to complete the final works are budgeted for in Account No 215-10 Report prepared by. Jim Wraith, 416-392-9731 For information contact: Jim Berry, 416-392-9721 Date January 07,2002 RES.#B178/01 - PAPER SUPPLIES TENDER 2002 Award of Contract. Recommending award of annual paper supply contract. Moved by. Lorna Bissell Seconded by Jim McMaster THAT the tender from Graphic Resources be accepted, it being the lowest quotation that met specifications, AND FURTHER THAT if Graphic Resources is awarded the tender for supply of paper to the City of Toronto and this results in pricing that is lower than the tender being accepted by TRCA, Graphic Resources shall make available that pricing to the Authority CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority annually purchases between $30,000 and $40,000 worth of paper supplies As the value of the contract is over $25,000 and pursuant to the purchasing policy, approval by the Executive Committee is required ANALYSIS The following companies were contacted for supply of paper to the Authority 1 Buntin Reid 2. Graphic Resources 3 Coast Paper 4 Unisqurces Ltd The Authority uses a wide variety of paper sizes and stock For purposes of evaluating values on the tender, the pricing for 50% recycled, 8 1/2 X 11 was identified, it being the largest volLJme purchased The pricing for other paper products is available in attachment 1 Pricing was received from Buntin Reid, Graphic Resources and Coast Paper Staff evaluated all bids Graphic Resources bid of $610/1000 sheets was accepted, it being the lowest price available Also, the staff analysis demonstrates that Graphic Resources has the most cost effective pricing for the balance of paper products 707 Staff have been notified that the City of Toronto tender for paper supplies is currently being evaluated, but not yet awarded If current tender pricing for the City of Toronto is less that the Authority pricing, the Authority will receive that same price Staff will continue to monitor opportunities with member municipality in the purchase of paper supplies For Information contact: John Annunziello, extension 5272 Date.
