G. Lowe T. E. Barber, Adm. I & E Sub - Committee Chairman Acting Secretary SCHEDULE "C" 8 -46 CAPITAL FUNDING 1977 to 1980 THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, 'funded by its participating municipalities and the Province of Ontario, is an agency for the carrying out of projects for the conservation, restoration and development of renewable natural resources in the area under its jurisdiction. There are four major resources in the Metropolitan Toronto region - the river valley systems, the Oak Ridges interlobate moraine, the Niagara Escarpment and the Lake Ontario shoreline. The policies and programmes which the Authority has adopted for the management of these resources form an integral part of the planning policies of the Province of Ontario and Metropolitan Toronto. for this region. A continuing and comprehensive programme of resource management is essential to the Metropolitan Toronto region in order that the tremendous pressures of growth and development can be accommodated without destroying our most important natural amenities and without increasing the hazards of flooding and erosion. The resource management programmes of the Authority are set out in management plans which have been adopted by the Authority, approved by the Authority's participating municipalities and the Province of Ontario. These are: (1) Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation This is a long range plan adopted in 1961 and provides for the protection of flood vulnerable areas in the river valley systems through a programme of flood plain and valley land acquisition, channelization, flood storage works, a flood warning system, and the management of the valley systems through development control and regulations. (2) Plan of Ancillary Conservation Measures This plan was adopted in 1963 and parallels the Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation, and was required by the agreement signed between the Authority, the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada in connection with the Flood Control Plan. The Ancillary Measures Plan provides for upstream conservation measures, including reforestation, wildlife management, fish management, soil erosion control, stream improvement and the provision of recreation and outdoor education opportunities on conservation lands. This programme is• funded through current budgeting and does not involve capital expenditures. B -47 -2- (3) Downstream Erosion Control This plan is applicable only in Metropolitan Toronto and was developed primarily in response to needs expressed by the Council of Metropolitan Toronto. Projects carried out under this plan designate the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto as benefiting. The plan was prepared on the basis of engineering studies carried out in the major Metropolitan Toronto valleys to identify those areas susceptible to erosion, which endangered homes, roads, bridges, public utilities and major public recreation facilities. Work is carried out on the basis of a priority system which recognizes the comparative degree of hazard among the sites identified. (4) The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Plan 1972 -81 This plan was prepared by the Authority at the request of the Province of Ontario and with the concurrence of Metropolitan Toronto, and was based on the Waterfront Plan for the Metropolitan Toronto Planning Area prepared by the Metropolitan Toronto Planning Board. It sets out a programme of waterfront development designed to provide access to the Lake Ontario shoreline, recreation opportunities along the shoreline including major beaches, small craft harbours, picnic areas and trails, as well as providing shoreline protection for erosion prone areas. In accordance with The Conservation Authorities Act, the Authority implements its plans by adopting "projects ". Projects adopted by the Authority are usually on a five -year basis and provide funding for the carrying out of the project works over the period of the project. At the present time, the Authority has adopted and received approval from its participating municipalities, the Province of Ontario and the Ontario Municipal Board for the following projects: Name of Project Total Municipal Funding Approved -3- Annual Metro Toronto Capital Funding Required Year Funding Renewal Required O.M.B. Approval Numbers and Dates B-48 Plan for Flood Control and Water Conser- vation WC -63 1975 & 76. 5,000,000 250,000 1977 - 79 1,281,593 1980 E752422 • M75264 Dec.22/75 Downstream Erosion Control WC -60 1,125,000 250,000 1979 E741578 M74224 Sept.9 /74 Metropolitan Toronto & Region 10,000,000 1,870,398 Waterfront Plan 1st Phase 1972 -76 H6144 1977 S56 Sept.15 /72 Central Waterfront 85,000 10,000 1977 M757 E7576 Jan.21 /75 Channelization It will be noted that no new applications will have to be made to the O.M.B. for the approval of funding during 1976. New funding for The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Plan Phase 2 will be required in 1977, for WC -60 in 1979 and • for WC -63 in 1980. The_.Authority has recommended the inclusion of funds in the Metropolitan Toronto capital budget estimates for the period 1977 to 1980 as follows: • Programme $000's WC -63 Flood Control Plan Extension WC -60 Downstream Erosion Control 1977 1978 1979 1980 1,282 ' 1,282 1,281 1,200 250 250 300 300 Channel Improvements 623 200 Waterfront Plan Central Waterfront Total 1,950 1,950 1,950 1,950 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 5,105 4,682 4,531 4,450 ti B -49 -4- These recommendations were made in order to permit the Authority's resource management programmes to proceed at approximately the same rate as had been approved in the current phase of the project or on the basis of existing requests from the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto for erosion control works to be carried out. The exception to this was the inclusion of funds for development in the Central Sector of the Waterfront. Commencing in 1977, the Authority had recommended that $1,000,000 per year for the period 1977 to 1980 be included in the Metropolitan Toronto capital estimates for the development of the proposed Aquatic Park. In 1973, the Authority at the request of the Province of Ontario and after consultation with Metropolitan Toronto agreed to prepare a master plan for the development of the proposed Aquatic Park in the Central Sector. It is expected that the master plan will be completed during 1976 and the recommendation that funds be included in the capital estimates would enable works to commence for the implementation of the plan's recommendations. In the light of these requests for capital funding, the Authority has addressed itself to the recommendations of the Executive Com- mittee of Metropolitan Toronto that capital funding for Authority projects be established at a base level of $4,000,000 per year for the period 1977 to 1980. The Authority's resource management programmes are essential to the well -being and safety of the citizens of the Metropolitan Toronto region. $4,000,000 represents 2.g% of the total proposed Metropolitan Toronto capital budget and this must be considered a minimal amount of money for a metro- politan community to devote to the management of its renewable natural resources. Each of the Authority's programmes has been designed to be in keeping with the planning objectives of its member municipalities and the Province of Ontario. Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation - Provide for the protection of property and people from the hazards of flooding - Protect municipal services, roads and institutions from the hazards of flooding - Provide for the storage and later discharge of flood waters thereby augmenting stream flows during periods of low flow and reducing pollution levels - Land acquired for flood control purposes (flood plain and valley lands) contribute to the open space systems for Metropolitan Toronto This programme is consistent with provincial water management policies and with the Metropolitan Toronto draft official plan. -5- Downstream Erosion Control B -50 This programme was developed in conjunction with Metropolitan Toronto and the constituent municipalities and recognizes a hierarchy of streams, assigning to the Authority and Metropolitan Toronto responsibility for the maintenance of the major water courses. The programme is aimed directly at property protection and because of limited existing funding, there is a very large backlog of work. to be done. At the present time, the Authority has an inventory of some 427 individual locations on the major valley systems within Metropolitan Toronto requiring some measure of attention although remedial works have been carried out under the existing programme. On the basis of the present level of funding, it is not possible to complete corrective works at more than ten or twelve locations in a year. B -51 Channelization -6- The channelization programme provides for stream channel improvements on an individual stream location basis. Most of these works are carried out at the request of Metropolitan Toronto. At the present time there is a backlog of requests including the following: East Don River Black Creek Etobicoke Creek Highland Creek Highland Creek Massey Creek Black Creek Mimico Creek Etobicoke Creek - York Mills Road to Don Valley Parkway - Jane Street to the southerly limit of the Oakdale Golf Course - within limits of Markland Woods Golf Course - within the Morningside Park area - Col. Danforth area - St. Clair and Pharmacy Avenues upstream to Eglinton Avenue - Queens Drive to Weston Road - Vicinity. of Royal York Road - Vicinity of Bloor Street - Vicinity of the Queensway - at Dundas Street -7- B -52 Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Plan 1972 -81 This plan is a continuation of waterfront development which has continued sporadically from the earliest days of Toronto's founding. It is the first comprehensive approach to be taken to waterfront planning and development in the Metropolitan region and constitutes several essential components of Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario development policies. - The plan recognizes the very great need to provide in our large population centres recreation opportunities which were formerly only to be found in the northern vacation lands of Ontario and which now, due to travel costs, land costs and environmental protection requirements are no longer available to large segments of the urban population. - The pattern of development along the Lake Ontario shoreline has reduced to a minimum the land inventory available for public recreation use and considerable reliance has to be placed on the creation of new lands using land fill. Land fill is obtained from current construction works, is a valuable resource, and must be used at the times it is available. - The waterfront is immediately adjacent to very dense populations and was recognized in the Waterfront Plan for the Metropolitan Toronto Planning Area as being an essential component of the Metropolitan Toronto open space plan serving both regional and local needs. - Aquatic Park is an area of land and water created by the Toronto Harbour Commissioners in connection with the creation of their outer harbour project and provides a substantial land base for an "aquatic park ". The development proposals for Aquatic Park can be carried out over an extended period of time. It is important, however, that the existing land base be stabilized in order to reduce the rate of erosion and the interior land area be raised well above water level by dredging. The Authority had recommended that the dredging take place in 1975; however. the contract was not proceeded with due to difficulties in the dredging industry. The Authority considers it important to accommodate the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto in the recommendation of its Executive Committee that the base level of funding for Authority projects be $4,000,000 during the period 1977 to 1980. The Authority also considers it important that all of its resource management programmes continue through this period of economic. constraints. In order to B -53 -8- do this it will be necessary for the Authority to alter its priorities in the rate at which it is carrying out various components of its work. A preliminary examination of the work to be done indicates that the backlog of flood control and erosion control projects is substantial and that the rate at which this work is proceeding should be increased. It would, therefore, be necessary for the Authority to reduce the rate at which it is proceeding with the recreational component of its waterfront project in order to place more emphasis on flood control and erosion control and stay within €he recommended $4,000,000 per year of Metropolitan Toronto capital funding for the period 1977 to 1980. The rate of creating.and stabilizing the land base for waterfront projects, including Aquatic Park, and the rate of carrying out shoreline erosion control projects should not be diminished. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in accordance with the provisions of The Conservation Authorities Act is carrying out a programme for the conservation, restoration amd development of renewable natural resources in the area under its jurisdiction. The Authority has established programmes and adopted projects for resource management which, in the year 1976, do not require further Ontario Municipal Board approval. For the period 1977 to 1980, the Authority can accommodate the recommendations ofthe Metropolitan Toronto Executive Committee that the base level of Authority funding be $4,000,000 per year by reducing the rate at which the recreational aspects of the works being carried out under the waterfront project are proceeded with.

The report included the following recommendation: - "(2) Forward the suggestion for a wage freeze for senior staff (Section 3.5) to all area municipal councils and dependent on the replies received take appropriate action at the Metro level." Section 3.5 of the report entitled "Salary Freeze" is included for your information: - "Federal and Provincial governments have frozen the salaries of certain staff, and they have given wide publicity to this action. to understand the implications to Metro of a similar freeze, the following facts should be borne in mind: - at the Federal level of government salaries were frozen in certain categories for 1976. However, two weeks prior to October 13, 1975, a 10% increase was awarded to many of the categories which were subsequently frozen. In effect then, there really was not a freeze for 1976 so much as there was a freeze effective for 1977. - the Provincial freeze in salaries applies to.jobs and ranges above a maximum of $36,750. per annum. It is our understand- ing that at the lower level of this scale, a slight adjustment will be made for 1976. - salary differentials throughout the excluded salary structure in Metro are such that there is a considerable overlap from on level to another. Adjustments resulting from a contract settlement with the Unions would very quickly destroy any differentials in the upper salary structure if the freeze stays on too long. - under the principle of equity, it is certain that one should not freeze the salary ranges of Metro senior officials with- out taking similar action in the area municipalities and suggesting similar action in the Boards and Commissions asso- ciated with Metro. To single out the Metropolitan senior staff would be completely inequitable, and unjust. Therefore. in looking at any salary freeze, it should be done on the basis that its application is to be universal throughout all of the area municipalities of Metro and in the Boards and Commissions associated with Metro. While it can be argued, and no doubt will be argued by certain municipalities, that the salaries of their senior staff are already out of line, the whole prin- ciple of a freeze is to take certain action on a particular day irrespective of existing inequities. While this is quite brutal, it is nevertheless the only way to effectively bring in a freeze. Based upon the above, it is suggested that the following apply: (A) The salary of all personnel in salary ranges 1 to 5 inclusive in Metropolitan Toronto be frozen. This in- volves salaries above $26,000 per annum. (B) The freeze not be made effective in Metro until there is agreement to apply a similar freeze to existing comparable salary ranges in all the area municipalities. All Boards and Commissions should also be requested to adopt the freeze. Personnel Sub - Committee Meeting #1/76 Financial Restraint Program in Metropolitan Toronto B -72 Page # #2 (C) Because the application of a freeze will mean that the staff salaries frozen will begin to lag behind comparable positions in the market place, the Personnel Officer should continually monitor the effect of the freeze and by no later than October 31, 1976, report his findings to the Executive Committee. (D) So as there will be no mistake as to the positions that will be affected by this freeze, they are listed below:- Position Class 1 Chief Administrative Officer Commissioner of Roads and Traffic Commissioner of Social Services Commissioner of Works Metropolitan Solicitor Treasurer and Commissioner of Finance Position Class 2 Commissioner of Planning Metropolitan Auditor General Manager - Housing Division Position Class 3 Commissioner of Property Personnel Officer Duputy Metropolitan Solicitor Corporation Counsel . Position Class 3(A) Associate Corporation Counsel Position Class 4 Director, Management Information Systems Metropolitan Toronto Clerk Metropolitan Parks Commissioner Deputy Commissioner of Planning Deputy Commissioner of Works Director, Financial Services and Deputy Treasurer Director, Accounting Services Director, Economic & Policy Research General Manager, Ambulance Services Position Class 5 . Deputy Metropolitan Auditor Director, Audit Organization, Training and Development Director, Engineering and Planning (Works) Director, Financial Assistance and Administration Director, Institutional Services Director, Labour Relations Director, Licensing Director, Operations (Roads and Traffic) Director, Planning and Design (Roads and Traffic) Director, Programs and Support Director, Refuse Disposal Director, Traffic Director, Water Pollution Control Director, Water Supply Director, Planning Control and Development Special Assistant to the Chairman B -73 Personnel Sub- Committee Meeting #1/76 Financial Restraint Program in Metropolitan Toronto Page #3 COMMENT In 1975 The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority adopted a revised salary schedule and a revised salary classification schedule. The schedule has three groups as follows:- Group #1 - Group #2 - to include clerical, secretarial, assistants, trainees and junior technical; to include supervisory, senior technical and superintendents; Group #3 - to include senior staff and Administrators; There are four classification levels in each group. Within each class- ification level, there is provision for four merit increases. The merit increases in Group #1 are based on 6% per annum, Group #2, 5% per annum and Group #4, 4% per annum. The Authority also adopted a policy in 1975 that annual salary adjust- ments would be based on a merit increase plus an economic adjustment based on the increaase in the cost of living as determined by Statistics Canada. Those positions that had realized the top of their classification level received only the economic adjustment which, in 1975, was 11.6 %. The Authority, in 1975, gave a 15% increase to hourly wage earners to bring their level nearer to the level of wages paid by Metropolitan Toronto, the Boroughs and the Regional Municipalities. The two senior staff positions, the Director of Operations and the Secretary- Treasurer were limited to a 9.8% increase. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority was advised in October by the Province of Ontario that the Wage and Price Guidelines adopted by the Government of Canada applied to all provincial and mun- icipal employees and agencies, including conservation authorities. Accordingly, the Authority limited wage and salary adjustments to 10% and all positions above $24,000. were limited to a $2,400. increase. The Authority also considered an improvement in the employee benefit program to bring it closer in line with the municipalities and the Province of Ontario. The Authority rejected any-adjustments in the benefit program as a further constraint. In 1976, the Authority has combined two senior positions as a result of the retirement of the Secretary- Treasurer. A further senior staff member has resigned and this position is not being filled, but duties are being reassigned. The Authority makes all salary and wage adjustments effective January 1 of each calendar year. SUMMARY In summary, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has taken the following action with regard to senior staff for 1976:- - limited salary increments to a maximum of $2,400. in accordance with Wage and Price Guidelines - has not improved the employee benefit program to the level of the Province or the municipalities - has combined two senior staff positions and eliminated one senior position from the establishment Personnel Sub- Committee Meeting #1/76 Financial Restraint Program in Metropolitan Toronto B -74 Page #4 - is not filling one senior staff position, which has become vacant as a result of a resignation, at this time but is reassigning duties. Where senior positions are not being filled, the workload and responsibilities of other positions are being increased and it would be unfair to penalize these people by a wage freeze The Authority believes that wage and price guidelines are essential. It feels that they must be applied in an equitable manner. It is obvious that all staff positions at all levels must be carefully evaluated and economies effected wherever possible. The present wage and price guidelines already restrict adjustments in all posi- tions over $24,000. The Authority personnel policy further limits merit increases in the senior staff positions. A comparison of comparable staff positions in Metropolitan Toronto to include all municipalities, Boroughs and agencies to compare the level of responsibility and productivity of all positions and then to make comparisons with similar responsibilities in the Province, is almost impossible. It is the opinion of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority that constraints in accordance with the guidelines of the Federal Government's Anti Inflation Program, must be applied in a fair and equitable way and that each municipality and agency must apply the constraints in accordance with their particular needs and in accordance with overall budget constraints.

Mrs. L. Hancey K.G. Hiqqs Chairman Secretary- Treasurer KGH/e April -13 -1976 SCIIEDULE "I3" B -92 To: The Chairmen and Members of the Executive Committee of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Re: Maple Area - Sanitary Landfill Proposals The Ministry of the Environment is currently considering two applications for sanitary landfill operations in the Maple area. The applicants, Superior Sand Gravel and Supplies Limited and Crawford Allied Industries Limited, submitted their initial rehabilitation proposals in 1972 in compliance with The Pits and Quarries Control Act (1971). At that time Authority staff, on direction from the Executive Committee, convened a series of meetings to establish the concerns of all agencies having interests in the area. As a result, the Maple Area Study was prepared. At Executive Meeting #19/74, a staff communication having regard to this study was presented and the recommendations therein adopted by Resolution #404. A copy of the communication is attached. The concerns of the Authority, as outlined in its recommendations, were with respect to flood control, pollution control and land use. A summary of the rehabilitation proposals being considered has been taken from the Maple Area Study for your information (attached). A further joint engineering study has now been completed by consultants to the applicants and a copy forwarded to the 'Authority for comment by the Ministry of the Environment. The two applications will be considered by the Environmental Hearing Board commencing May 17, 1976. The Ministry of the Environment has indicated that the concerns of the Authority will be included in their position report to the Board. Staff has reviewed the available material with respect to Authority policy and the recommendation previously adopted. Within the areas of flood control and pollution control, it appears that the requirements of the Authority have been satisfied. A further engineering study has been completed, as requested, and the various aspects of flood and pollution control given considerable attention. Possible groundwater contamination is to be checked by the use of liners below the landfill, systems of purge wells and locally cut -off drains. In the event of any contamination, purge wells would remove contaminated groundwater from the aquifer for disposal elsewhere. The estimated capacity of trunk sewer facilities to be constructed in this area is considered to be adequate for this purpose. With respect to land use, however, no comprehensive plan has been agreed upon for the area. A report on the possible land use choices was prepared for the Town of Vaughan by John Bousfield Associates in 1975. The Town of Vaughan and the applicants are, at present, still discussing this aspect. The Authority previously recommended the preparation of such a plan should be major requirement prior to any approval.. A further concern of staff is that the responsibility for future management and for possible future pollution, after completion of any approved landfilling, has not been defined. The Ministry of the Environment should determine who will assume these responsibilities as part of any approval. RECOMMENDATION IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Authority forward to the Ministry of the Environment the recommendations adopted by Resolution #404, Executive Meeting #19/74, and that the Ministry be requested, in their presentation to the Environmental Hearing Board, to include the concerns of the Authority especially with respect to the recognized hazard to ground water quality; and further THAT in any approval, provision be made for future use and management of the site and responsibility for possible future pollution control. W. A. McLean Director of Planning and Policy April 14, 1976 B -93 SCIIEDULE "C" TO: THE CHAIRMAN hND MEMBERS OF THE •D UrIVE COMMITTEE, MTRCA. RE: WATERFRONT PLAN, 1972 -1976 1976 RONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM In 1975 the Authority undertook a comprehensive environmental monitoring program at the three active landfill sites on the waterfront. The firm of BEAK Consultants was engaged to collect and analyse the samples and interpret the results. A final report has now been prepared which points out some encouraging results as well as sone impor- tant recommendations concerning future landfill designs. A complete report of the results of the 1975 Program will be made to the Waterfront Advisory Board at its meeting #2/76 on May 20, 1976. The 1975 Program was designed as the first stage of an on -going program which would eventually be undertaken by Authority staff. It is intended that during 1976 the routine water and sediment sampling would be done by Authority staff while the analysis and interpretation of data would be carried out by BEAK Consultants Ltd. Authority staff would also participate to a greater extent in the preparation of the final report. Discussions have been held with the Ontario Centre for Remote Sensing and that agency would again be willing to undertake the aerial photography component of the program. While the 1975 Program was designed to collect a wide spectrum of background data, the proposed 1976 Program includes sone more specific studies. One of the most important specific studies will be an investigation of the mechanism of water exchange in enclosed bays. The cost estimate for the 1976 Environmental Monitoring Program is as follows: 1) Regular Water Quality Program $ 18,000 2) Event Intensive Water Quality Program 5,000 3) Special Studies (including water exchange in small bays) 25,000 4) Sediment Type Distribution 5,000 5) Sediment Quality Study 3,000 6) Benthic Survey 10,000 7) Groundwater Survey (Humber Bay East) 4,000 8) Field Equipment 5,000 9) Aerial Photography 20,000 10) Depth Soundings 5,000 TOTAL: $ 100,000 The Program will again concentrate on the three major Waterfront Development Sites however the cost estimates also allow for obtaining background information at future development sites namely Samuel Bois Smith Waterfront Area and East Point Waterfront Area. The 1976 Program will also allow for the analysis of the fish samples to determine PCB concentrations. RECOMMENDATION WATERFRONT PLAN, 1972 -1976 1976 ENVIWNMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM It is recxm ended that the 1976 Environmental Monitoring Program at the Waterfront sites involving a total estimated expenditure of $100,000 be approved and that the approval of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of the Environnent be requested.

RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT -- JANUARY 1 - APRIL 30, 1976 WATERFRONT PLAN 1972 - 1976 Humber Bay West: A phasing plan for the 1976 filling program has been prepared and reviewed with the Ministry of the Environment. Landfilling recommenced on site on April 19, 1976. An application for marina assistance under the Small Craft Har- bours Assistance Program has been prepared and forwarded to the Federal Department of the Environment. Humber Bay East: The shape of the landform is now virtually complete and as a result the landfilling operation was stopped and shifted to Humber Bay West as of April 19, 1976. Grading on site will continue as weather permits. Ashbridge's Bay: Rough grading and topsoiling of the site is continuing and is now 70% complete. The planting of trees and shrubs and turf establishment on the site will be carried out by staff of the Land Management Division starting May 3, 1976. Contracts for the roads, parking lots and lighting and the land- scaping, architectural and site work are being awarded with work to start on both contracts early in May, 1976. Negotiations are proceeding with the Toronto Harbour Commissioners and the City of Toronto concerning transfer of approximately 60 acres of land in the area to the Authority. Designs have been prepared and quotations for armour stone are being received by the Toronto Harbour Commissioners for further headland armouring and landscaping stone which will be placed starting approximately May 17, 1976. . Bluffers: Minor landscaping works are being completed by Land Management Division Staff in preparation for the official opening in June. The two lookout areas on the headlands are under construction and are 50% complete. A phasing plan for the 1976 filling program has been prepared and reviewed with the Ministry of the Environment. Landfilling for Phase II began on April 19, 1976. • Monitoring Program: The 1976 Program has been defined and submitted to the Province for approval. Two students have been hired to assist with the collection of samples. II -112 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, MTRCA. RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT -- JANUARY 1 - APRIL 30, 1976 PAGE: TWO WATERFRONT PROJECT 1977 - 1981 ' The Project was approved by the Authority on April 9, 1976 and has now been submitted for approval to all member Municipalities and the Province of Ontario. Boating Study: Staff are carrying out a joint study with Metro Parks Department to determine the details of existing boating facilities and also the projected needs of the boating public. A questionnaire has been prepared and circulated to all those who have had their names placed on MTRCA and Metro Parks lists for boating mooring spaces. About 500 questionnaires have been circulated and the response appears to be very good. The study is to be completed by the fall of 1976. Park Use Survey: In conjunction with the Policy and Planning Division a survey of waterfront park users similar to that completed in 1972 will be undertaken through the summer. Operation Doorstep Angling: The final report is now virtually complete and preparations are being made to carry out fish habitat improvement projects at Lower Rouge and at Bluffers Waterfront Area as part of the 1976 Development Program.

This season we have put an increased emphasis on the Black Creek Pioneer Village citizenship program. Through this plan individuals, at $10.00, and families at $15.00 a year, can become members of Black Creek. A membership card entitles the holder to free admission during the hours open to the public and to attend such special village events as the official openings of buildings, the Rogationtide Service and Pioneer Festival. Eventually the money from this program will build into a substantial growth endowment fund which is being adminis- tered by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation. Black Creek Pioneer Village had a booth at the Garden Club of Toronto Flower Show, where in five days thousands of interested people received brochures and applications for citizenship. So far 340 citizenships have been issued for 1976. Since the program started in 1966, twenty people have become life citizens. There were only 275 citizenships issued for all of 1975. There are plans to further publicize the citizenship program through the co- operation of the Toronto Sun and several Toronto radio stations including C.F.R.B. and C.K.E.Y. WORK AT ROBLIN'S MILL • A major repair has been completed at the Roblin's Mill. The flume which - carries the water to the mill wheel was drained last fall, and it was found that many of the boards showed a considerable amount of rot. The four -foot diameter trough•was completely dismantled and the rebuilding took almost two months. The first flour of the 1976 season was milled About April 15th and the new flume is working satisfactory. Russell K.

Woodlot management in the form of thinning and cutting of dead elms and the preparation of vehicles and machinery, including painting in the new Authority colours, for this year's operat- ion were also carried out. Area crews were also involved in the refinishing of picnic tables, signs and garbage barrels, and in the early spring preparing and assisting with the spring planting programs. Albion Hills Improvements were made on the cross country ski trails and a suitable trail was developed for snowshoeing. Ski trails were groomed and the • facilities were developed for the rental of cross country ski and snow- shoe equipment. •Week -end programs of instruction and interpretive hikes were given by the staff. Boyd In addition to the normal winter operation program, the Area crews assisted at the Kortright Centre, primarily in the preparation and operat- ion of the maple syrup program. Bruce's Mill Area crews completed the work on the pavilion, including an area for the food preparation for the catering service. Work has continued on the conversion of the superintendent's residence, with the interior nearing completion. The maple syrup program attracted 26,736 visitors, being a slight decrease from the 1975 attendance. Organized school groups attending the maple syrup demonstration reached an attendance of 5,817. The total decrease in this program was 3,499 people. The staff from the Milne Conservation Area assisted the Bruce's Mill staff in the syrup program. Claireville Woodlot management was a major program, with 60 cords of wood prepared, and the Area crew constructed 4 outhouses. They also assisted in a maple syrup operation for the Etobicoke Field Centre. Cold Creek Cross country ski trails totalling 10 k.m. were marked and groomed. A continued winter operation with Husky dogs and Retriever trials, as well as assisting the school programs, kept the Area crew busy.

A. McLean Director of Planning and Policy B -127 STAFF PROGRESS REPORT JANUARY 1 TO APRIL 25 1976 INFORMATION AND EDUCATION DIVISION CONSERVATION INFORMATION: The staff was authorized and directed to carry out the Community and Staff Relations Program 1976, dated January 15, 1976 by the Information and Education Advisory Board, and on January 21, 1976 by the Executive Committee. The Program, for The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation, was developed to take into account a number of changes and attitudes affecting the economy in general, in the Authority in particular. The communications program, has noticeably expanded the organization's communication efforts, externally and internally. This expanded approach has affectively increased direct Authority member and employee participation, increased public and government awareness of the Authority, developed a better balance in our relationship with the media, surfacing good results regarding internal communications and there have been numerous opportunities for input from the Information Staff, relating to Authority activities in general. A presentation was made to The Royal Bank of Canada on March 12, with respect to a proposed participating partnership between the Authority and the Bank, in the production of promotional brochures and posters. The presentation was well received and approved by the Executive Officers of the Metro Toronto District, however, it was turned down, for the time being, by Head Office in Montreal. The 27 minute film "Waterfront" was completed and first shown to the Authority on April 9th, 1976. CONSERVATION EDUCATION: Programming, planning and development is continuing at the Kortright Centre for Conservation. 185 classes comprising of 3,696 students and 3,353 visitors attended the Maple Syrup Making Program during the four week period. A revised master plan for site develop - ment, exhibit concept proposals and working drawings with contract documents for the Centre Building have been completed. Development • has included a gate house and acquisition of bees and equipment for the new Honey House. The Maple Syrup Program at Bruce's Mill and Albion Hills operated at capacity, accommodating well over 6,000 school children. 2 B -128 The Albion Hills, Boyd, Claremont and Cold Creek Conservation Field Centres continue to operate at capacity. It has been necessary to schedule largely elementary school children in these Centres, during this period, as a result of the secondary schools being closed for part of January. Residential Centres are expected to operate at capacity this summer with a continuation and expansion of the very successful March of Dimes Program for the disabled at Albion Hills and Claremont in August and the Archeological Dig at the Boyd Conservation Field Centre in conjunction with the Royal Ontario Museum, Ministry of Education and The Boards of Education. The July programs in conjunction with Atkinson College, York University and The Faculty of Education, University of Toronto will be operating at Albion Hills and Claremont Field Centres. These programs are made possible by a grant from the Canadian National Sportsmen's Show of $5,000., which represents $100 grant per student. T. E.

RE: Management of Urban Drainage: A resolution from the City of Mississauga requested the Authority to prevent any further development from taking place in • upstream municipalities until the Authority has developed policies and plans concerning storm water drainage. In this regard, the following report is presented to the Executive Committee for subsequent reply to the City of Mississauge. Urban drainage problems present themselves in several different forms, depending on the area concerned. In developed areas, there are three problems: overloaded sewerage systems, combined sewer overflows and urban surface runoff pollution. These result in local flooding and pollution of receiving waters. In developing areas, the effects are increased volume and rate of surface runoff, which result in flooding, stream erosion and siltation. All the above problems exist in the area under the jurisdictio of the Authority, and will continue as the headwater areas of the watersheds develop. These problems have been recognized by the Authority and the member municipalities, as well as by the Provincial and Federal Governments. In this connection, a research programme for the abatement of municipal pollution within the provisions of the Canada - Ontario Agreement on Great Lakes Water Quality has been set up. An Urban Drainage Sub - Committee has been formed which will address itself to the problems associated with urban drainage under the following terms of reference: (1) To define the magnitude of the pollution due to storm water in the Great Lakes basin; (2) To establish priorities and schedules for studies directed toward potential solutions to storm water problems; (3) To develop a strategy for implementing solutions; A great number of studies have been implemented under this Sub - Committee and a great many more are proposed in order to achieve the goals defined by the terms of reference listed above. It is proposed by the Sub - Committee that, in 1976, their attention will be devoted to assessment of the study results, development of policy and a strategy to implement this policy. It is also hoped to develop a manual on urban drainage practice for new urban develop- ments. By 1977, the proposed policy will be developed which will include required controls on runoff rates from new developments to provide flood, pollution and erosion control. Techniques will be described to achieve these controls, such as retardation /retention ponds, inlet control devices and storm water treatment. Existing developed areas will be required to outline proposed abatement programmes. B -136 RE: Management of Urban Drainage: 2. Coincident with the above programme, the Authority will be carrying out its review of the Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation as required by the Ministries of Natural Resources and Environment. . In this review, some of the problems associated with urban development will be investigated, such as increased flooding occurrences; increased erosion and pollution aspects of storm water discharge. The existing and future problems, such as development increases in the watersheds, will be reviewed in an effort to update and re- evaluate the flood control programme, both from a flood protection and from an environmental point of view. It is hoped that the Authority's Flood Control Plan review and the policies developed by the Urban Drainage Sub - Committee will enable the Authority to draft a policy regarding the manage -• ment of urban drainage which will not only meet the requirements of the member municipalities, but will also meet the objectives of the Canada - Ontario Agreement for the Abatement of Pollution in the Great Lakes. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. THAT the staff, in conjunction with the Urban Drainage Sub - Committee, develop a policy for the management of urban drainage within the area of jurisdiction of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. 2. THAT The Regional Municipality of Peel be requested to hold in abeyance any Official Plan changes in upstream municipalities until it has documented for the Authority ' the impact of the proposed development pattern in the headwater zone on the Mimico Creek watershed in terms of increased flooding and erosion.

Re: Public Participation in Policy Formation Re Ontario Mineral Aggregate Working Party The staff of the Authority have been advised that the Ministry of Natural Resources has appointed an Ontario Mineral•Aggregate Working Party composed of members from the Provincial government, the municipalities, the aggregate industry and other interested groups engaged with the issues associated with the mineral aggregate supply situation in Ontario. The working party is required to review options put forward by the Provincial government and others to make recommendations to the govern- ment by October 1976 on the best means of achieving effective and broadly accepted mineral aggregate resource management policy for Ontario and involving a revision of the Pits and Quarries Control Act. Among the items that will be considered by the working party are: (1) The demand and supply picture on a sub - regional and local basis and the need to ensure that this demand can be met. (2) The planning system and how it can ensure that an effect- ive sequential land use policy is implemented. (3) The question of financial remuneration to the municipalities for the nuisance factors associated with the industry. (4) The need for an improved process of licence approvals. (5) Rehabilitation techniques. (6) Local objections to noise, dust, traffic and environmental damage. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has been invited to contribute ideas and suggestions to the working party, as well as appearing at open houses on this subject, within the area of its jurisdiction. The next meeting will be at Goodwood on Tuesday, May 18. Members of the working party will be available at this open house for discussion with interested members of the public and organizations. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority recognizes the need and demand for this non renewable natural resource and has expressed its concern over the operation of the aggregate industry when making recommendations to the establishment of the Pits and Quarries Act in 1970. A report was presented to the Director of the Conservation Authorities Branch following a report of the Mineral Resources Committee to the Ministry of Mines. The concerns expressed by this Authority at that time are still valid and these concerns should be restated for the benefit of the Ontario Mineral Aggregate Working Party. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Ontario Mineral Aggregate Working Party be advised that the concerns of the Authority for the extraction industry as previously stated to the Mineral Resources Committee of the Ministry of Mines are as follows: (1) The Authority endorses the proposal that the Province of Ontario, through its Department of Mines, should regulate the operation, develop- ment and rehabilitation of pits and quarries in Ontario. Such regulat- ion would enable a uniformly high standard of operation and rehabilitat- ion across the province and enable pit and quarry operators to plan their operations on a sound basis. (2) The Authority believes that the establishment of a pit or quarry in any municipality is a planning decision and should not be divorced from planning procedures. The Authority does not deem the Ontario Department of Mines to be the appropriate government agency for making this type of planning decision, but does endorse the Department of Mines making available as much technical data as possible concerning mineral deposits and the needs of the community in terms of sand, gravel and quarry materials to the planning agencies, in order that sound planning decisions concerning the establishment of pits and quarries can be made. (3) The Authority believes that the establishment of wayside pits and borrow areas has an important effect on the aesthetics of waysides, and that careful attention in the rehabilitation of these areas is required to ensure as high a quality of wayside as possible. -2- B -138 (4) The Authority believes that provision should be made in the Planning Act to ensure that adequate consideration is given to the preservation of unique natural areas which may be susceptible to exploitation due • to the presence of a mineral.deposit. 4.5.76 P.B.

Re: Report of 'the Mineral Resources Committee to the Minister of Nines INTRODUCTION The Authority is in receipt of a communication from the Director of the Conservation Authorities Branch of the Dept. of Energy and Resources Management concerning a report of the Mineral Resources Committee to the Minister of Mines which has been tabled. The report concerns the establishment and regulation of pits and quarries in Ontario. The matter of pits and quarries has been considered by the Executive Committee on the recommendation of the Reforestation and Land Use Advisory Board in a series ' of reports over the past three years. The last report recommended that in view of the pending; Provincial consideration of the matter that no further consideration be given by the Authority. THE REPORT The report of the Mineral Resources .Comni ttee to the Minister of Mines resulted from the recommendations of a 196(3 Investigating Committee made up of representatives of the Dept. of Mines, Municipal• Affairs and Treasury and Economics. This Investigating Committee considered a brief from the Aggregate Producers Association and the Quarry Operators Association, and the Investigating Committee recommended that a Technical Committee be set up, including representatives of government and the extractive industry to investigate and make recommendations ''on the extent and nature of Provincial regulations necessary to govern the siting, operation, development and rehabil- itation, etc. of pits and quarries'. The Technical Committee was set up by the Minister of Mines in January of 1969. The content of the report is in two sections; the first a series of observations, and the second. a series of recommendations. OBSERVATIONS The report observed as follows: (1) In the interest of the whole community, municipal zoning regulat- ions must take into account the communityts great need for an adequate *raw material base. Comment: Agree. (2). Extraction is part of a sequential process of land use and planners should take this into account. Comment: Uses subsequent to a'quarry and gravel operation are in many cases quite feasible, provided that proper planning has gone into the operation. It cannot be assumed, however, that the subsequent use will be as clesi; able as if the pit or quarry operation had not taken place. (3) The physical characteristics of mineral deposits and the economics involved are not well known to planner, municipal politicians and the general public. - 2 - . B -140 B -101 Comment: Ware not in a position to judge the factualness of this observation, but it can bo agreed that technical knowledge of this kind is a valuable asset to all thoso concornod with pit and quarry operationz. (I) Prosent rogulati.Dn; under the Municipal Act give the municipal- ities power to rcrulate the operation of pits and quarries (1958) and provisions of the Planning Act .enable the prohibition of pits and quarries by municipalities (1960) . The provisions of these two Acts have resulted in a wide varioty of approaches•by municipalitio: in dealing with pits and quarries, and as a result, pit and quarry operations fii:d themselves operating under very different circum- stances from municipality to municipality. Comment: Agroo. (5) A provincial policy of mineral resource zoning is required and mineral resource information is required for proper zoning. Comment: It would appear that a more appropriate term would be -pro vincial policy of mineral roscurce planning ". (6) The Committee based its deliberations on tho premise that maxim-.;.1 utilization of available resourcec is desirable in view of their eventual depletion. Comment: The presence of a mineral resource should not be the only factor cons_. dared when judGtng whether it should be mined. Plannin. ; docisions on any particular lc.nd use whether or not it is a sequent- ial use must take into co-sidoration many factors. For example, th,' mineral resource may be located in an area which has very significant natural ch'.ractoristics which from an aesthetic and recreation point of view warrant its preservation. There may be existing land uses surrounding the resource which would be completely incompatible with the''precess of that resource being mined. The decision to establish a pit or a qur.rry must bo an objective corsideration.taking into account as many factors as it is possible to isolate, including the worth of the resource and the economic implications involved for the whole community. (7) Sito'and operation planning can achieve the important objective to minimize the'ugly scarring of the countryside and pave the way .for sonic subsequent use of tho site. Site and operation planning should include the funding required for the preparation of the land for tho subsequent use. C .lent: As commented earlier, site and operation planning is ossont- ial to mininizo community nuisance and scarring of the landscape and providing for the subscqucnt use. Howovor, duo to tho naturo of many deposits, depth, area covered, amount of ground water, tho possibility cf a subsequent use in somo•casos may be soveruly limited, evon with proper planning. Therefore, while wo agree with tho observation as a gonural statement, it should be recognized that proper planning and oporat•ion do not nocoscarily mako tho presonco of a pit or quarry tho most dosirablo use of a piece of land. B -141 B -102 - 3 - (8) There are many wayside borrow pits which arc created in the con- struction of ,highways . Because of the nature of contrac'. ing for highway work, the Committee recognized that forms' orm of regulation pro- posed for pits and quarries would not be applicable in this case. The suggestion is made that wayside pits be governed under a permit system operated by inspectors of the Department of Nines. Comment: Wayside pits are very often visible from the road being constructed. It is our opinion that great care should be taken in the location of wayside pits and their appearance when the project is completed. It is not enough to just provide for some future use. It is necessary for the aesthetics of the wayside that great care be taken in dealing with wayside pits. (9) It was noted that the Highway Traffic Act permits municipalities to restrict roads to use by vehicles with a gross weight of 22,000 pounds. It was furthor.noted that this provision may be used by municipalities to restrict pit and quarry operations and the suggest - ion is rude that consideration be given to amending the Highway Traffic Act. No comment. TIIE RECOffENDATIOHS OF THE REPORT (1) The rep..ort recommended that the procram of mineral resource mapping be accelerated and that the mapping be used as a basis for mineral resource policy, such policy, to be "areas as yet undeveloped be set aside for mineral development, bearing in mind- that mineral resource development is a temporary use of land and that with proper rehabilitation techniques this land may ultimately be used again for many other forms of development as required by the. community". Comment: With the first part of the recommendation, we agree; i.e. that the program of mineral resource dapping be accelerated. While this information will be of great importance in determining a mineral resource policy, it should not be the entire basis for such a policy. We do not agree that the policy statement quoted above should be defined as it is until the resource mappinG has been com- pleted. To adopt such a policy would imply that the presence of minerals is sufficient reason for mineral development in any area. . Presumably the thinking is that because mineral development is thought of as a temporary land use and the developed area can be rehabilitated that mineral development in any location is proper. This is unaccept- able. As has been pointed out earlier, many other planning factors must be taken into consideration before making the decision to disturb land for mineral development. Of particular concern to this Authority would be the possibility that unique natural areas would be mined; thus losing forever the natural qualities which made them unique and worthy of preservation. 1•Ioweycr well they can be rehabilitated for some other form of use, they can never regain their natural characteristics. Authority studies of gravel pit, in the area under ito jurisdiction showed that only a small portion of the B -142 - 4 - B -103 pits would be suitable for rehabilitation for park uses. The limit - ing factors were the depth and steepness of thc slopes, the presence of poncicd ground water 'which was too deep, toe cold and too lacking in oxygen below the surface for any recreational. use. It is granted that a different method of operation with sonic sequential use in mind may have made more pits suitable for recreation purposes, but it is difficult to see how some pits where thc material has been excavated to very great depths under any circumstances could be used for any purpose. (2) Establish provincial control over the establishment, operation, development and rehabilitation of sand and gravel pits, stone quarries, etc. to be applied uniformly across the province; the pur- pose of establishing provincial control being to (a) minimize the ugly scarring of the landscape, (b) to encourage rehabilitation, and (c) to guarantee adequate funding for the rehabilitation process. It is further recommended that the administration of thc provincial control be managed through the Ontario Department of Mines. Comment: Ile agree that the technical qualification of the Ontario Department of Mines makes it a suitable agency to regulate the operation, development and rehabilitation of sand and gravel pits. Having regulation at the provincial level would enable a uniformly high standard of operation and rehabilitation across the province and enable pit and quarry operators to plan their operations on a . sound basis. The decision to establish a pit or a quarry, however, is a planning decision and must involve the municipality and the Ontario Department of Municipal Affairs. Technical information fror.? the Department of Mines concerning the presence, characteristics and .economics of mineral deposits is certainly valuable information for the.planning jurisdictions to have and take into consideration. However, the decision to establish a pit or a quarry should not be divorced from the planning procedure. (3) Publish a ':Rehabilitation and Operation Manual" as prepared by Dr. A. M. Bauer of the University of Guelph. .Comment: Agree. (4) Certain amendments to the Planning, Municipal and Mining Acts were recommended. (a) It was recommended that the sections of the Planning and Municipal Acts governing the regulation and prohibition of pits and quarries be repealed and replaced with the following provision in the Planning Act: ''Whore an official plan including provisions deemed to be • adequate by the Minister (o:c Municipal, Affairs) governing, the locat- ion of pits and quarries is, in effect, in a municipality, council may pass a bylaw prohibiting the making or establishment of pits and quarries within the municipality or within any defined area or areas thereof.'. It was noted that the Planning Act already provides that no bylaw can be passed which does not conform with tho municipality?s official plan. B -143 B -104 - (b) It was furthor recommended that the Planning Act be amended to include the following: "Where a bylaw passed before (an operative date to be established) is in force in a municipality prohibiting the making or establishment of pits and quarries within the municipality or any defined area or areas thereof, such bylaw may remain in force until: (a) a Mineral resources map covering tho area in which the municipality is located has been prepared by the Department of i•lines, or (b) before such mineral resources map has been prepared until all or part of the bylaw is revoked by the Minister.'. (c) It is further recommended that tho Mining Act be amended setting out requirements governing the operation and rehabilitation of pit:: and quarries. • This was a lengthy section of the report and was the result of close study of all the municipal bylaws already in effect, taking the best from each of them. Comment: An interpretation of the proposed amendments to • the Planning Act is essential. As quoted, the intent of tho amendments is obscure. The best interpretation that we have been able to get is taken fro :: a speech by the Hon. Allan F. Laurence, Q.C. to the Aggregate Pro- ducers Association of Ontario. ••i•iore specifically, these amendments would (1) repeal sections of the Municipal Act which gives municipal- ities pal - ities the power to pass bylaws regulating pits and quarries; (2) would amend the Planning Act to allow those municipalities with an official plan deemed adequate by the Minister of Municipal Affairs to pass a bylaw prohibiting establishment of pits and quarries within their jurisdiction in accordance with tho overall official plan of the municipality. These latter municipalities would be dealt with individually on the merits of their official plan, but the wholesale power to control the day -to -day operation of the pits and quarries would be vested with tho province. In this way there is little loss of political autonomy for those municipalities who do have a sincere and workable program.. The Minister appears to be making a distinction between the establish- ment of pits and quarries and the control of their operation, and as we have indicated in comments above, this is desirable. Amend - ments to the Planning Act should provide for a policy making the establishment of pits and quarries a planning decision. Municipal- ities in preparing their official plans should be guided. by the Department of Municipal Affairs, taking into consideration technical information from the Department of Mines along with all other data necessary to the preparation of an official plan, but not dealing with the extraction of minerals in isolation. The provisions for amendments to the Mining Act which place the control of operating procedures with the province through tho Department of Mines appear to be sound. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservat- ion Authority comment to the Director of the Conservation Authorities - 6 - B -144 B -105 Branch, Department of Energy and Resources Management, as follows: (1) The Authority endorses the proposal that the Province of Ontario, through its Department of Minos, should regulate' the operation, development and rehabilitation of pits and quarries in Ontario. Such regulation would enable a uniformly high standard of operation and rehabilitation across the province and enable pit and quarry operators to plan their operations on a sound basis. (2) The Authority believes that the establishment of a pit or quarry in any municipality is a planning decision and should not be divorced from planning procedures. The Authority does not deem the Ontario Department of Mines to be the appropriate government agency for malting this type of planning decision, but does endorse the Depart- ment of Mines making available as much technical data as possible concerning mineral deposits and the needs of the community in. terms of sand, gravel and quarry materials to the planning agencies, in order that sound planning decisions concerning the establishment of pits and quarries can be made. (3) The Authority believes that the establishment of wayside pits and borrow areas has an important effect on the aesthetics of way- sides, and that careful attention in the rehabilitation of those areas is required to ensure as high a quality of wayside as possible. (4) The Authority believes that provision should be made in the Planning Act to ensure that adequate consideration is given to the preservation of unique natural .areas which may be susceptible to exploitation_ due to the presence of a mineral deposit. the metropolitan toronto and region conservation authority minutes B -145 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WEDNESDAY— MAY -19 -1976 #7/76 The Executive Committee met in the Board Room, Authority Office, 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview on Wednesday, May 19, 1976, commencing at 10:00 a.m. PRESENT WERE Chairman Vice Chairman Members R.G.

ADJOURNMENT On Motion, the Meeting adjourned at 1:20 p.m., June 2. R. Grant Henderson K.G. Higgs CARRIED; Chairman Secretary- Treasurer B -171 SCHEDULI "A" PROJECTED AUTHORITY CURRENT FUNDS FOR 1977 AND CAPITAL FUNDS 1977 -1981 for FLOOD CONTROL & WATER CONSERVATION EROSION CONTROL WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT INTRODUCTION At Meeting #3/76 of the Authority, held on Friday, April 9, 1976, the Authority adopted the following Resolution:- Resolution #51 "WHEREAS the necessity for effective erosion control and flood control measures was the primary reason for the formation of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority; and WHEREAS the proportion of the M.T.R.C.A. capital and current funds allocated to these prevention programmes is insufficient; and WHEREAS the ultimate cost of this deficiency is likely to be much higher than the cost of preventive measures now; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Executive Committee of the M.T.R.C.A. be asked to develop a budgetary plan with a view to drastically increasing the proportion of the budget devoted to erosion control and flood control programmes; and further THAT the Executive Committee be asked to present the outline of such a plan at the next meeting of the Authority." and further, the Authority also adopted the following Resolution: - Resolution #52 "WHEREAS the Authority is concerned about the disappearance of valley and ravine lands; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Province of Ontario be requested to grant to the Authority an amount of money equal to that for Waterfront Projects for the acquisition of valley and ravine lands so that as the Authority pro- vides recreation opportunities it will also be able to conserve valley and ravine lands." The Authority is in receipt of the following Recommendations from the Borough of Etobicoke and The City of Toronto: - a) Borough of Etobicoke Council at its meeting on May 25, 1976 resolved to request The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conser- vation Authority to work towards assigning equal priority to each of flood control, i.e. water manage- ment upstream, and erosion control, i.e. water manage- ment downstream, as is now given to waterfront develop- ment. City of Toronto THAT the Provincial Government be requested to provide funds for the acquisition and conservation of lands in valleys and ravines equivalent to the funds provided for recreational opportunities as outlined in The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Project 1977 -1981; and that The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority be advised of this request. 2 B -172 The staff have considered the above recommendations and submit the following report and recommendations for the consideration of the Executive Committee and the Authority. SOURCES OF AUTHORITY FUNDS The funding of the work of the Authority is derived from the follow- ing sources:- 1) Member Municipalities 2) Province of Ontario 3) User fees and miscellaneous income 4) The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation The Province of Ontario exercises control over grants to all Conservation Authorities through two processes. All Authority projects must receive approval of the Minister of Natural Resources in accordance with Section 23(i) of the Conservation Authorities Act. In addition, under Section 39 of the Act, the Province controls the level of grant. A further control is the allotment of Cash Flow. The Ministry of Natural Resources is annually allotted by the Government, a budget to fund the various programmes and projects of all Conservation Authorities in the Province. The Cash Flow system is used to allocate and divide the avail- able funds among Authorities. It should be noted that the Minister of Natural Resources may approve an Authority project, issue an M/A and a grant for the project and then funds are not made available or are limited on the basis of Cash Flow allotment, 13 -173 A further control exercised by the Province is the Ontario Municipal Board.. All Authority projects that are funded in more than one year must be approved by the Board. The Ontario Municipal Board supervises the level of municipal capital programs for the Province of Ontario. Once an Authority project is approved by the Minister and by the Ontario Municipal Board, the municipalities share of the cost of the project is a binding commitment on the municipalities. As noted earlier, however, the Province's share is not binding and is controlled by Cash Flow. During the past two years, the Province of Ontario has initiated financial constraints for Conservation Authorities for both capital projects and current budgets. • The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has been unable to proceed with a number of programs and projects that municipalities were prepared to fund because of limitations of Provincial funding. A further restraint placed on Authorities has been the Government of Canadas' Anti - Inflation Program, adopted by the Province and applied to all Provincial agencies including Authorities. The above information is essential to an understanding of the process by which Authority budget priorities are established. 1976 BUDGET The 1976 Current and Capital Budget Estimates included the following summary of the historical disposition of \uthority funds: - "Within these comprehensive program guidelines, the Authority has, over the years, reflected the priorities and policies of the part- ners, the participating municipalities and the Province of Ontario as expressed through the representative Authority members. Since 1957, 69% of the Authority's capital and development budget has been devoted to the valley systems in flood control and water con- servation, 14% has been devoted to Lake Ontario shoreline manage- ment, 16% to upstream management in conservation areas and reforest- ation, and 1% to outdoor and conservation education." The following is a summary of the 1976 Budget Estimates divided into two categories:- 1) Current Estimates 2) Capital Estimates 1) Current Estimates, 1976 Expenditures Province $ $ • Administration 1,850,000. Operations 2,496,069. Conservation Programs 706,900. Total 890,000. 12,000. 307,750. Municipal Levy $ 890,000. Revenues $ 70,000. 718,306. 1,765,763. 176,201. 222,949. 5,052,969. 1,209,750. 1,784,507. 2,058,712. 1975 actual expenditures are presented for sake of comparison. Administration Expenditures Province Municipal Levy $ $ • •$ 1,831,688. 830,814. 830,814. Revenues 170,061. The Provincial increase in grant from 1975 to 1976 is approximately $55,000. or 6.5 %. Operations 1,976,062. 12,000. Conservation Programs . 935,353. 432,083. 432,657. 1,531,405. 441,460. 61,810. - 4 - B -174 The Provincial decrease in grant from 1975 to 1976 is approximately $124,000. or 28.7 %. In 1976, the Municipal Levy for the Current Budget Estimates was $1,784,507. and this was exactly the same levy as 1975. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto's share of the levy was $1,500,639.08 in 1976 as opposed to a levy of $1,564,809.03 in 1975, a reduction of some $64,000. or 4.1 %. The other five member municipalities levies were increased as a result of increased assessment and a change of Authority policy regarding taxes for revenue producing conservation areas. It is the opinion of the staff that the 1977 current estimates of the Authority will be subject to the same financial constraints from the Province and the municipalities as prevailed in 1976. It has been suggested by Metropolitan Toronto that a 10.0% increase for 1977 might be considered as a possible budget target for the Conservation Authority. This would provide a Metropolitan Toronto current levy of $1,650,704. in 1977 and a corresponding increase in the current levy of the other participating municipalities, based on both assessment and the second stage of the Authority policy regarding taxes for revenue producing conservation areas. It should be emphasized that these are only suggested budget targets and have not been confirmed. At this time-the Authority has not • received any guidelines for 1977 budget targets from the Province. It is the opinion of the staff that, in 1977, the current budget estimates will likely reflect the same kind of restraints as 1976 and because of inflationary factors, the level of program in.1977 will likely be the same as 1976 with little opportunity for the commencement of major new programs. 2) .Capital Programs, 1976 The following is a summary of the capital programs of the Authority:- • Program Expenditures Municipal Province' $ $ $ Plan for Flood Control and Water Conserva- tion 1,362,000. 656,000. 706,000. *Water Control (Bene- fiting Municipalities) 600,000. 292,250. 307,750. 1,962,000. 948,250. 1,013,750. • Other *Metropolitan Toronto The Provincial increase in grant from 1975 to 1976 is approximately $591,750. or 140.2 %. Program Expenditures Municipal Province Other $ $ $ $ Waterfront Plan 2,713,647. 1,054,000. 1,054,000. 605,647. Waterfront (Bene- fiting Municipalities) Aquatic Park 66,070. 10,000. 10,000. 46,070. 2,779,717. 1,064,000. 1,064,000. 651,717. Grand Total 4,741,717. 2,012,250. 2,077,750. 651,717. The Provincial decrease in grant from 1975 to 1976 is approximately S389.176. or 26.7 %. B -175 5 The total Cash Flow being made available in 1976 by the Province of Ontario for the two major capital projects of the Authority is $2,012,250. The Cash Flow made available in 1975 by the Province for these two major projects was $3,667,165. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has adopted a capital budget and has recommended an annual allotment of $4,000,000. for all Authority capital programs. The staff is of the opinion that this is a reasonable allotment and within the capabilities of the Authority. On the basis of the Waterfront Project, $1,950,000. of this allotment is designated for the Waterfront Project 1977 -1981. It has been made clear by Metropolitan Toronto that if a decision is made to proceed with the implementation of the Aquatic Park, the early stages of implementation would have to take place within the allotment. The remaining Metro Toronto funds in the amount of $2,050,000. should be assigned for flood control and water management purposes. It is the opinion of the staff that all components of the Flood Control and Water Conservation Program and the Erosion Control Program should be combined within one comprehensive "Project ". In addition, all member municipalities should participate. This would eliminate the • plethora of water control projects and the cumbersome administrative procedures required to develop and implement these projects. The Project would provide greater flexibility to undertake Flood Control, Water Management and Erosion Control Projects as they arise and in a more expeditious manner. The attached schedule of projected levies for 1977 has been developed for the information of the Authority. It is based on the following assumptions: - 1) An estimated increase in current budget levy of 12.3% (Metro 10.0 %); 2) The adoption of the Waterfront Project 1977 -1981 with an annual levy of $2,200,000. and an annual budget of $4,400,000.; 3) The development, in 1977, of a comprehensive Flood Control and Water Management Plan with an annual estimated budget of $4,700,000. and an annual levy •)f $2,350,000.; It should be noted that for the proposed two captial programs of this Authority, this would require a total of $4,550,000. annual Cash Flow from the Province as opposed to the $2,012,250. available in 1976. It is the opinion of the staff that such a program would adequately meet the recommendations of the Authority as set forth in Resolutions 51 and 52, and would provide the desired balance between the various current and capital projects of the Authority. The staff feel that such a program is within the financial capa- bilities of the member municipalities of the Authority and the Province of Ontario. RECOMMENDATION THAT representatives of the Authority meet with appropriate representatives of the Province of Ontario to discuss the long range financing of the Authority's Flood Control and Water Conservation, Erosion Control and Waterfront Development Programs, 1977 -1981.

However, on drawing M -1 we recommend that the four -inch drain be continued down the slope from the building, rather than terminated near the top of the slope. This will then avoid erosion problems on the steep slope to the west of the proposed building.

Repairing asphalt at loading dock; additional work on main entrance; installing fabric and wood trim on display board in main lobby 3.

It cannot be stated flatly that the above items contributed 100% to the variance as there were numerous small items such as labour charges by Authority staff, installation of whiteprint machine, etc. which came about as the job advanced. Also contributing to the variance is additional fees charged by the engineers, architects and project managers. These fees were occasioned by the additional work done. Fees charged were in a:cordance with fee schedules arranged prior to commencement.

Accordingly, the use of these lands for any purpose should be based on established design flood criteria, erosion control considerations and an effort to perpetuate the benefits bestowed by nature; 2] Council undertakes to work with The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to plan for the improvement, conservation and protection of valley lands and the Lake Ontario shoreline within the municipality's jurisdiction; 3] Council, in conjunction with The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, will define the physical limits of the river valleys within their area of jurisdiction; 4] Council will pass by -laws prohibiting development or the placing of fill in areas regulated by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and described in the Schedules to Ontario Regulation #735/73, as it may be amended from time to time, or a successor to that Regulation; -5- B -268 5] Council will amend existing by -laws having effect in areas regulated by the Authority, as defined in Recommendation #4, in order that development will not proceed without the approval of the Authority; 6] Council will use all available means to improve storm water manage- ment in order to minimize downstream flooding, pollution and erosion. Council will establish its criteria on the basis of recommended criteria by the Ministries of Environment and Natural Resources, and The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority; 7] Council shall consult with The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and shall then designate water - courses as major, intermediate and minor.

The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has adopted a program designed to further the conservation, restor- ation, development and management of the natural resources of the 1,339 square miles included ir. r diction. The Authority has identified the region's river valleys, the Lake Ontario shoreline and tthe Aheadwatersareas of the is- Oak Ridges interlobate moraine, and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to which its programs are applied. Established resource management programs include flood control and water conservation, erosion control, waterfront develo ment and fish and wildlife management. In implementing these programs, 25,000 acres of land have been acquired and, in addition to their being managed for the conservation functions the conservation education, recreation and historic site purposesrform, they are made available to the community for outdoor and Within these comprehensive program guidelines, the Authority has, over the years, reflected the priorities and policies of the the participating municipalities and the Province of Ontario as expressed through the representative Authority members. Since 1957, 677 of the Authority's capital and development budget has been devoted to the valley systems in flood control and water conservation, 187 has been devoted to Lake Ontario Shoreline management, 147 to upstream management in conser- vation areas and reforestation, and 1% to outdoor and conservation education. The 1977 Preliminary Budget Estimates for administration, operations and maintenance, current and capital emphasis on Flood Control and Water Conservation, Waterfront Development and provide for the management ofrlandssandffacilitie acquired and developed in connection with this program. facilities In accordance with Resolution #51, adopted by the full Authority at Meeting #3/76, held on Friday, April 9, 1976: - "THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Executive Committee of the M.T.R.C.A. be asked to develop a budgetary plan with a view to drastically increasing the proportion of the budget devoted to erosion control and flood control programs;" The estimates propose a substantial increase in expenditures for Flood Control and Water Conservation and Erosion Control. FORMAT OF PRESENTATION The 1977 Preliminary Budget Estimates are in accordance with the reporting requirements of the Ministry of Natural Resources The Ministry is in the process of finalizing a new Administrative Procedures Manual to be adopted effective January 1, 1977. The new manual will propose changes in the reporting requirements. Y 7. AUTHORITY PROGRAMS The Authority programs are identified on the following pages of these Budget Estimates in four basic categories: - Administration (Pages 7 to 10) - Administration, General Operations Operations & Maintenance (Pages 11 to 18) - Conservation Area Operations, Information & Education Operations, Black Creek Pioneer Village Operations, Maintenance of Water Control Structures Current Programs (Pages 19 to 30) - Conservation Area Development, Conservation & Niagara Escarpment Land, Conservation 2. Services, Information & Education Development, Historic Sites Development, General Water Control Projects Capital Programs (Pages 31 to 38) - Flood Control Plan, Water Control Projects (Benefiting Municipalities), Waterfront Plan, Waterfront Plan (Benefiting Municipalities Expenditures on administration, operations and maintenance and current programs comprise the Authority's general levy on all participating municipalities apportioned on the basis of equalized assessment as supplied by the Province of Ontario. Expen- ditures on capital programs are financed as a capital levy on benefiting municipalities. The details of individual programs and objectives for 1977 are identified individually in these Preliminary Budget Estimates. FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS The Preliminary Budget Estimates reflect the restraint program of the Province of Ontario which is assumed will continue in 1977. The increase in the Provincial grant for administration has been limited to 7 %. CAPITAL PROGRAMS Flood Control & Water Conservation. and Erosion Control: The estimates reflect the direction of the Authority that higher priority be given to this aspect of the Authority's conservation program. The estimates will require an increase in the level of Provincial support. The Province has advised that grants for capital programs for conservation authorities in 1977 will be increased. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has not received what is considered to be an equit- able portion of available funds in recent years because of substantial Provincial commitments to other conservation authorities. The estimates, therefore, are based on a level of funding to meet the priorities established by the Authority for Flood Control and Water Conservation and Erosion Control. Waterfront Development: The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, in 1976, has completed the first five year Waterfront Project at a cost of $20,000,000. The Authority has adopted the next five year Waterfront Project, 1977 -1981, which proposes a total expenditure of $22,000,000. Municipal Contributions to Capital Programs: The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has established capital budget targets for the M.T.R.C.A. for Flood Control and Water Conservation, Erosion Control and Waterfront Development. The estimates for these programs contained within this budget are within the targets established by Metropolitan Toronto. THE 1977 LEVY The apportionment of the 1977 municipal levies has been based on assessment data provided by the Province of Ontario for the calculation of the 1976 municipal levies. The Authority will receive updated data from the Province of Ontario for the cal- culation of the 1977 municipal levies and there will be adjustments in the municipal levies based on this data. w In accordance with the policy adopted by the Authority, the Regional Municipalities of Durham, Peel and York have been levied o' an amount equal to 100% of the 1975 taxes paid by the Authority for revenue producing conservation areas within those municipalities.

PROGRAM PRELI MINARY 1977 CAPITAL BUDGET ESTIMATES FLOOD CONTROL PLAN PAGE 31, PURPOSE: The purpose of the Flood Control Plan is to provide protection from the hazards of flooding on the streams in the area under the Authority's jurisdiction, to augment summer flow as a pollution abatement measure, and to contribute to the control of streambank erosion. This purpose is being carried out by a program of remedial measures, including flood plain and valley land acquisition, regulation, channel improvements, the construction of flood water storage areas and the management of the works constructed in accordance with a water management plan. 1977 OBJECTIVES: - the Flood Control Plan is currently being carried out under Project WC -63 for which approval was received in 1975 - to contiLzue with the land acquisition component of the remedial measures - to carry out a review of the Flood Control Plan from not only a hydrologic /hydraulic point of view, but from an environmental aspect as well - to study and inventory erosion sites within the whole area under the jurisdiction of the Authority for use in the plan review process as well as providing the basis for an all encompassing erosion control program FUNDING: This is a shared program, 50% of the cost of the acquisition of flood plain and conservation land being eligible for a grant from the Province of Ontario, the balance being funded from the Flood Control Capital Levy on all participating municipalities. Authority revenues received from flood plain and conservation lands expropriated by the Province of Ontario have been applied to the Flood Plain and Conservation Land Acquisition Program. FINANCIAL COMMENTS: In accordance with adopted Authority policy and approved levies from the member municipali- ties of the Authority, there is an increase in expenditures in 1977 for the Flood Control Plan.

Financial Comments Conservation Areas Development Now that the busy summer season is over, a number of development items remain to be completed and will use the remaining develop- ment budget allotment. Development items to be completed include landscape planting, some minor amount of woodlot work, bridge construction, boat dock and picnic table construction. Conservation Areas Operations The wet summer weather has resulted in a drop in conservation areas revenue. This decrease has been taken into consideration and necessary adjustments have been made in conservation areas operations for the remainder of the year. Routine work such as the preparation of the Areas for winter operation will be carried on, but spending will be within the budget limits. Conservation Services As of August 31st, approximately 25% of the funds for Conservat- ion Services have been used. The remainder will be used to complete the fish management program undertaken by the Conser- vation Services in co- operation with the Ministry of Natural Resource The report on water quality monitoring at the Claireville Reser- voir has left a surplus of funds in Pond Assistance, and this will be designated to Erosion Control projects and any deficit in Conservation Services Revenue.

As anticipated, expenditures incurred for rent and utilities, ie. telephone and office maintenance, are high due to the expansion of the head office building. Moreover, the high level of expenditures associated with fringe benefits is due to legislation. On the other hand, bulk purchasing and an increase in the level of usage are the principal reasons why the level of expenditures for materials and supplies is high. Finally, expenditures re information and education consist largely of salaries for Conservation Education Supervisors and Assistants. :wr 13/10/76 B -360 STAFF PROGRESS REPORT TO AUGUST 31, 1976 PROGRAM: General Operations EXPENDITURES Property Maintenance and General Expense Vehicles & Equipment Suspense Bank Interest, Non - Capital Program REVENUE General Revenue FINANCIAL COMMENT Expenditures to Aug. 31/76 44,940. .(11,625.)

Among the notable acquisitions are a collection of 75 lighting devices, a 1724 deed written on animal skin, an 1830 pine cupboard, 2 maple cane chairs, an early brass letter scale, a waffle iron from the Waterloo county area, a horse cutter, 30 lace bobbins and 3 hanging lamps. Publicity and Promotion Toys from the collection have been on loan to the Toronto Historical Board for display at Fort York. Commercial photography has been completed at the Village by Lok:ation Photography Limited for an advertisement in Chatelaine Magazine, by Methuene Publishing for a series of childrens books, by Dunlop Photography for a slide presentation to be shown to North York community groups, by FR3 Network for television coverage in France, by The Canadian Collector magazine for a front colour cover, by Pat La Croix Photography for a Standard Brands magazine advertisement. Staff has appeared twice on the John Bradshaw program at C.F.R.B. and on the Marie Callaghan Show at ('.H.E.X. in Peterborough. A lecture was given to a combined meeting of several chapters of the Beta Sigma Phi fraternity. Staff acted as consultants for the possible restoration of a milling complex at Belleville, and also evaluated a large museum collection for the Big Creek Conservation Authority. Special Events For the Victoria Day Weekend in May, John Downing, well -known columnist for "The Toronto Sun ", his wife, Mary, their three sons and their niece lived in the Daniel Stong Second House. All six were provided with village costumes. Mary Downing was given one day's training in the 1832 farmhouse, and on Friday, May 21st, the family moved in. The buildings remained open to the general public during village hours and thousands came to watch the Downings as they prepared and ate meals, made their beds, chopped wood and performed all the chores necessary for daily life in the 1830's. The purpose was to provide the Village with publicity and to begin a citizenship drive with the help of "The Toronto Sun ". John wrote four columns at the Village and in "The Sunday Sun" a full centre page spread was published. A tremendous amount of publicity was generated and our citizenship has increased dramatically from 258 this time last year to 810 this year. The newspaper still runs a regular picture coupon which suggests that readers send in to Black Creek Pioneer Village for citizenship. As well as the May long weekend, John Downing and "The Toronto Sun" have continued to support Black Creek. On September llth the paper sponsored a picnic for all citizens providing refreshments, prizes and entertainment. Many Sun personalities attended along with John, including Paul Rimstead and his band. Once again "The Sunday Sun" ran a full centre spread on the Village. 13 -362 HISTORICAL SITES DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT AUGUST 31, 1976 PAGE 2 Special Events - cont'd The Boy Scouts of the Greater Toronto Region had a 'Fun Day" at the Village and York University on May 29th.

The Information and Education operations are on target for the first time in several years. The expenditures more accurately reflect budget, largely a result of stability of food prices. Revenues are considerably higher than 1975 as a result of significant increases in the 1976 fees at the residential Conservation Field Centres. B The Information and Education development budget was increased in August by $400,000. to provide for the construction of the Kortright Centre for Conservation and accounts for the relatively small (12%) expenditure. C The Information and Education administration budget is on target except, Tours and Special Days and Advertising. The official opening of Bluffers Waterfront Area, Waterfront Tours and advertising for a Finance Administrator have resulted in an estimated overspending of these two accounts of approximately $2,500. The overall deficit is projected at less than $1,000. T. E. Barber, Administrator Information & Education Division TEB /mm October 13, 1976.

RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT TO AUGUST 31, 1976 1) MAINTENANCE WATER CONTROL STRUCTURE a) PROGRESS - Normal day to day maintenance was continued of all the water control structures highlighted by extensive dredging behind the Black Creek Retardation Dam and the replacement of the trash rack. Channel re- pairs were carried out at Woodbridge, Highland Creek, and the Lower Humber Channel. Operation and maintenance of the flood warning system is also covered in this program including hydro and telephone for the stream gauges. Also included in this program is the operation and maintenance of the two major flood control dams, Clairville and G. Ross Lord. No major maintenance has been carried out to date however approval for a lighting system for the hoist building at the G. Ross Lord Dam has been requested. Repairs to the Highland Creek Channel damaged during the flood in August and estimated at $500,000 will be carried out under a special project next year however certain critical areas will be temporarily repaired under this years program. b) FINANCIAL STATEMENT TO AUGUST 31, 1976 YEAR % OF TO DATE TOTAL BUDGET EXPEND.

The landfilling should reach one of the final headland locations by October 31, 1976 at which time the headland will be armoured with concrete rubble and the filling operation will continue in a protected area for the winter months. Public Works Canada has been engaged by Environment Canada to re- view the Authority's application under the Small Craft Harbours Assistance Program. Humk�r Bay East Waterfront Area A total of 45.1 acres of land has been created ready for intensive development in 1977. The beaches and headlands have been stabilized with concrete rubble. Design work is proceeding on finalizing the master plan so the pre- paration of contract drawings can proceed in anticipation of tender calls in February. Grading of the model boat basin will proceed prior to December, 1976 as site conditions and budgets permit. Western Beaches Design work is underway on the marine aspects of the master plan in anticipation that some construction will be undertaken in 1977. Ashbridge's Bay Waterfront Area Grading and topsoiling of the site is complete and crews of the Con- servation Land Management Division are proceeding with tree and shrub planting and seeding in preparation for the 1977 opening of the area. The roads, parking lots and lighting contract is now approximately 90% complete with the major outstanding item being the installation of lighting fixtures. The landscaping, site work and architectural contract is also approxi- mately 90% complete with the major outstanding items being the installation of plumbing and electrical fixtures and some interior finishes in the washroom /changehouse. All of the headland armouring is complete and the beaches are maturing and building up as expected. Authority staff are proceeding with the installation of bicycle paths and footpaths which should be complete by mid - November. B -378 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, MTRCA. RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT TO AUGUST 31, 1976 Page 7 5) WATERFRONT PROJECT 1972 -1976 a) PROGRESS - Bluffers Waterfront Area Landfilling is continuing on Phase II and to date 10.5 acres has been completed. The position of the most easterly headland has been reached and Environment Canada and Public Works Canada are preparing to award a contract for the armouring of the headland in accordance with the Small Craft Harbours Assistance Program. Landfilling will continue in protected areas over the winter months and plans are now being finalized for the 1977 fill program. The Authority involvement in Phase I of Bluffers is now restricted to some minor maintainence responsibilities which expire early in 1977. The operation of the finished park was turned over to Metro- politan Toronto Parks Department following the official opening in June and the area enjoyed a very successful summer season. Environmental Monitoring Program The 1976 Environmental Monitoring Program is continuing the analysis of water and sediment quality around the Authority's waterfront pro- jects including the collection of background data at the proposed development sites at East Point and Col. Samuel Bois Smith Waterfront Areas. The field work for the study of circulation in small bays has been completed and the final report should be available by the end of the year. Waterfront Project 1977 -1981 The Project has been approved by all member municipalities except the Region of Durham. Metropolitan Toronto has agreed to match the Pro- vincial financial allocation. The Ministry of Natural Resources is currently reviewing the Project. Boating Study The data acquisition stage of the study is complete and the results of the questionnaires and interviews are being completed and analysed and will be presented in the final report which should be completed early in 1977. Shoreline Management One of the summer students has completed an inventory of all existing types of shore protection along the waterfront and has prepared a priority rating for shoreline protective works. This study was carried out in anticipation of some shoreline management work being implemented in 1977. B -379 Page 8 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, MTRCA.

RE: BRIEF TO THE ROYAL COMMISSION ON ELECTRIC POWER PLANNING: B -381 At its Meeting #18/75 of the Executive Committee, Resolution #364/75 was adopted, as follows: "Res. #364: Moved by: Mrs. F. Gell Seconded by: G. Lowe RESOLVED THAT: The staff be directed to prepare and submit a Brief on behalf of the Authority to the Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning." The staff have prepared the attached brief and recommendations for submission to the Royal Commission. The scheduling of hearings before the Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning has been delayed and the Authority has yet to receive notification of a date for its presentation. It is, therefore, proposed that the attached brief and recommendations be forwarded to the Commission at this time for their consid- ration. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: the brief to the Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning be received and that the recommendations therein be adopted; and further THAT the brief be forwarded to the Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning for their consideration. W.A. McLean Director of Planning & Policy Attach. WAMcL /KC. 13.10.76. B -382 BRIEF TO THE ROYAL COMMISSION ON ELECTRIC POWER PLANNING by THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO & REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY Under the provisions of The Conservation Authorities Act, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has the responsibility "to establish and undertake, in the area over which it has jurisdiction, a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources other than gas, oil, coal and minerals." In order to carry out these responsibilities, the Authority has established resource management programs and policies applic- able throughout its area of jurisdiction. The Authority has established a comprehensive program for flood control and water conservation. The major components within this program include the identification and acquisition of flood - vulnerable lands, the construction of dams and reservoirs to retard flood flows, the use of channelization where required, the provision of erosion control and bank stabilization work, the reforestation of upstream areas, the administration of Ontario Regulation 735/73 and the operation of a flood forecasting and flood warning system. The acquisition and maintenance of flood plain and con- servation land provides not only public safety, but also open space, a major amenity within an urbanized area. Conservation Authorities may, under The Conservation Authorities Act, develop for public use those lands purchased for flood control and con- servation purposes. Swimming, boating, picnicking, hiking, fishing, skiing and the viewing of natural features and wildlife are some of the recreatioral activities provided by the Authority in the Conservation Areas and waterfront parks within the Metro- politan Toronto region. The preservation and extension of these public opportunities is vital, especially as urbanization con- tinues. It is, therefore, necessary that the planning of future electric power facilities involve the Authority in decisions which will affect these lands. Of concern to the Authority is the effect of future electric power development (i.e., generating stations, substations, trans- mission lines, etc.) on the flood plain and conservation lands within Authority jurisdiction and on the resource management programmes and policies which the Authority has developed and is implementing. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE AUTHORITY BE CONSULTED WITH RESPECT TO TIIE LOCATION OF ELECTRIC POWER FACILITIES AND THE ROUTING OF TRANSMISSION CORRIDORS WITIHIN ITS AREA OF JURISDICTION. B -383 BRIEF TO TIIE ROYAL COMMISSION ON ELECTRIC POWER PLANNING. 2. TRANSMISSION CORRIDORS In the past, it was often the practice, in routing trans- mission lines, to clear cut the necessary right -of -way. This practice often removed valuable woodlots, destroyed wildlife habitat and created areas of potential erosion. These conditions can create additional difficulties for flood control as the removal of surface material increases the rate of storm water run- off and resulting flooding and sedimentation. Greater emphasis is now being placed on the environmental impact of construction and considerable effort has been made to reduce impact and perform any necessary site restoration. One area of continuing concern relates to the maintenance of existing corridors. Spraying programs to control the regrowth of vegetation are used to enable ease of access for maintenance operations. This practice removes cover from the right -of -way and decreases the ability of the soil to absorb storm water. This decreased capability can result in serious problems of rapid surface run -off and severe erosion, especially during storm periods. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF TRANSMISSION CORRIDORS INCLUDE PROGRAMS TO MINIMIZE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO POTENTIAL INCREASE IN STORM WATER RUN -OFF AND EROSION. IN ADDITION, RESEARCH SHOULD BE CONTINUED TO IDENTIFY ALTERNATE MEANS OF TRANSMISSION WHICH WOULD FURTHER REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. SECONDARY USES In establishing permanent electric power facilities, large tracts of land are often acquired. While the principal function of these lands is to form part of the power network, they also represent major areas of open space. Such components of the system as generating stations and transmission corridors require rights -of -way or buffer lands which, especially within an urban area, could be utilized to provide a secondary benefit - recreational open space. (i) Generating Stations Lakeside locations within Southern Ontario have been identified as optimum for generating stations as a result of their physical characteristics and their proximity to the market area. The Lake Ontario waterfront is currently under increasing pressure to provide recreational opportunities for a growing population. Demands for the provision of boating and fishing facilities are two specifically water - orientated types of recreation being requested. II -384 BRIEF TO THE ROYAL COMMISSION ON ELECTRIC POWER PLANNING 3. This Authority has been directly involved in the planning of recreational facilities along the Lake Ontario shoreline since 1970. At that time, the Province of Ontario designated the Authority as the implementing agency for The Waterfront Plan (1967). The major concern of the Authority has been to provide regional recreation facilities of a type best suited to a waterfront location. Provision of swimming, boating, fishing and sightseeing opportunities has been of major concern. In locating future lakeside generating facilities, an awareness of the demand for waterfront recreational opportunities is important. (ii) Transmission Corridors The need to purchase a right -of -way to enable con- struction and maintenance of surface transmission corridors has created large areas of land which must be retained in a relatively open state. These areas could lend themselves well to incorporation into a linear park system or utilized for pathway systems or as parkettes. (iii) Changing Technology As advances are made in the technology of generating and transmitting electric power, it is possible that certain lands within the existing system will no longer be required or that multiple use of those lands required for the system could be more easily accom- modated. The potential of these lands to provide recreational opportunities should be given consider- ation. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE MANAGEMENT OF LANDS ACQUIRED TO PROVIDE ELECTRIC POWER REQUIREMENTS TAKE COGNIZANCE OF THEIR POTENTIAL TO ALSO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE. FUTURE GROWTH Within the rapidly urbanizing Metropolitan Toronto region, certain decisions have yet to be made respecting future develop- ment. Technical advances are making it possible to create services for more and more people to live and work within this region. At no time, however, has it been established what the limit to growth should be. There is, no doubt, some point at which population reaches an optimum level. We are capable of providing required servicing, including electric power, to supply a much higher population than is presently using it. 13-385 BRIEF TO TILE ROYAL COMMISSION ON ELECTRIC POWER PLANNING 4. The Authority is concerned with the resources within its area of jurisdiction and with their capability to support increasing populations. The river valleys, the Niagara Escarpment, the Oak Ridges Moraine and the Lake Ontario Waterfront are areas of special interest to the Authority. Increased populations will place additional demands on the capacity of the rivers to handle storm water. Future growth will also create higher demand for recreational open space. There is a definite need to identify a regional growth plan which will take into consideration the capability of the region's resources. This Commission is concerned with long range planning for the generation of electric power. The supply of servicing has a direct relationship on the number of people who can be accommodated within a specific area. It is possible, therefore, when planning for future needs, to play an important role in the distribution and /or concentration of population within the region. While it is less difficult to reinforce established patterns of servicing, it should be possible to work to direct growth in a more desirable way. It should be the objective of not only this Commission, but also all other agencies involved in planning within this region, to establish some criteria for estimating optimum population levels. Once this has been done, the planning required to support this population can be initiated. The technical ability to provide service should not be the onl1 criterion used to determine future growth. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT ESTABLISH A LIMIT TO GROWTH FOR THE REGION WITHIN THE AUTHORITY'S JURISDICTION, AND THAT ALL FUTURE PLANNING BE BASED ON SPECIFIC POPULATION TARGETS WHICH TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE CAPACITY OF THE REGION'S RESOURCES TO SUPPORT ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: - 1. The Authority be consulted with respect to the location of electric power facilities and the routing of transmission corridors within its area of jurisdiction. 2. The establishment and maintenance of transmission corridors include programs to minimize environmental impact, especially with respect to potential increases in storm water run -off and erosion. In addition, research should be continued to identify alternate means of transmission which would further reduce environmental impact. 3. The management of lands acquired to provide electric power. requirements take cognizance of their potential to also B -386 BRIEF TO THE ROYAL COMMISSION ON ELECTRIC POWER PLANNING 5. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS (Contd.) provide opportunities for recreational open space. 4. The Provincial government establish a limit to growth for the region within the Authority's jurisdiction, and that all future planning be based on specific population targets which take into consideration the capacity of the region's resources to support additional development.

SCHEDULE "C" B -387 TO: TIIE CIIAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF TIIE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, M.T.R.C.A. - Meeting #16/76 RE: AUTHORITY PARTICIPATION Central Waterfront Planning, City of Toronto • The Authority is in receipt of: "Progress Report and Proposed Schedule for Completion of Central Waterfront Planning Official Plan Statement" submitted by the Co- Chairmen of the Central Waterfront Planning Committee; Juanne Hemsol and R. V. Doty. It addresses itself to the progress of the Central Waterfront Planning Committee on the Official Plan for the central waterfront and the'setbacks that have occurred. These setbacks, described in the appended report, have necessitated an extension to the planning schedule for the completion of the Official Plan Part II statements. A new schedule has been prepared (appended) which sets out the following steps: i) Completion of the Information Base Studies ii) Preparation of Policy Advancement Papers iii) Review of Policy Advancement Papers iv) Preparation of First Comprehensive Drafts of Proposals Documents v) Review of Draft Proposals Documents vi) Preparation of the Final Proposals Document vii) Public Review of the Proposals Document and subsequent submission to Planning Board and Council. It should be noted that step (vii) could be achieved by October 1977 only if the following assumptions. hold true: i) that the Information Base Studies are completed in order to provide: "an extremely important common basis for the staff and the Area Task Groups to develop policy recommendations;" ii) that the final products result from consensus at the staff and committee level; B -388 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, M.T.R.C.A. - Meeting #16/76 RE: AUTHORITY PARTICIPATION Central Waterfront Planning, City of Toronto Page 2 iii) that some technical work will have to be carried out by agencies other than the City, some commitment will be required from certain agencies to continue their participation, particularly the Toronto Harbour Commissioners. The Progress Report makes several recommendations, below are those of importance to this Authority: i) "That the CWPC adopt the Schedule and Work - Programme outlined in this report, contingent upon the requests being made to the various agencies for continued staff participation being granted, and commit itself to a concerted effort to proceed in accordance with the Schedule." iv) "That this report be sent to the participating agencies for their information and endorsation and that they be requested to authorize the continued participation of their staff in the proposed Work - Programme." v) That the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and Toronto Harbour Commissioners be requested to advise the CWPC of their intentions regarding the completion of the Shoreline Issues Study." The Executive Committee adopted a report in 1975 from the Administrator, Waterfront Division, which recommended basically; that the Authority participate fully with the Central Waterfront planning process. This was to be effected by making available information and attending meetings, relating to six Information Base study groups. Staff participated actively on the Environment Study Group up to the point that the staff were being useful; hopefully this resulted in an Environment Report which is worth- while to future users. The Recreation Study has just got off the ground and Authority staff input will continue on this component. In addition, staff were to jointly co- ordinate the Shore Management Study with the Toronto Harbour Commissioners. Staff did meet with the Toronto Harbour Commissioners staff to discuss the content of this Information Base Study and determined B -389 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, M.T.R.C.A. - Meeting #16/76 RE: AUTHORITY PARTICIPATION Central Waterfront Planning, City of Toronto Page 3 that the bulk of the information inventory and jurisdictional authority lay with the Toronto Harbour Commissioners; subsequently it was agreed that, with the input of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the Toronto Harbour Commissioners would have to play a major role. This has not been completed to date, but would not, in any event, affect actual Part II Statement proposals and therefore need not hold up the planning process. Conclusion In the months to come, when the Central Waterfront Planning Committee is actually considering Official Plan proposals it is important that the Authority be abreast of the situation so that matters of interest or conflict can be brought to the attention of the Executive Committee. The Central Waterfront Planning Committee has developed many sub - groups, proper Authority participation on all of them is impossible. The Authority should participate on those groups that will be looking at the proposals for the area as a whole, not fragments of it; this is where Authority time can be best spent. The matter of the Shore Management Study is still in question, the resolution of which hinges on the willingness of the Toronto Harbour Commissioners to participate. In this regard staff will be discussing the matter with the staff of the Central Waterfront Planning Committee in the near future.

RE: Recognition Policy The outstanding contribution to the Metropolitan Toronto Region by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is a result of the vision, dedication and service of its members, staff and others. As the Authority approaches its 20th Anniversary, it is appropriate to develop an overall recognition policy to assure that the many dedicated people are recognized in a consistent manner for outstanding achievement and longtime service. The Honour Roll Awards Program, the Employee Suggestion Awards System and the Lifetime Pass are excellent examples of recognition that are appreciated by the recipients far beyond their material worth. (A) ACHIEVEMENT RECOGNITION Honour Roll Awards Program This program was adopted by the Authority in 1973 as follows: . a citation on an illuminated scroll . marked by a tree planted in the designated area on the east side of Black Creek, southward from Shoreham Drive to the Indian Village site . awards be made and ceremonial trees be planted, if possible, on Arbor Day of each year . awards on behalf of the Authority be granted to persons who have made a significant contribution to the aims and objects of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority . nominations be in writing, stating the reason for such domination . the deadline for receiving nominations in any year be December 31, for awards to be granted in the succeeding year; . not more than four awards be granted in any one year . nominations not be received on behalf of, or awards granted to: (i) persons serving as members of the Authority at the time of nomination (ii) staff members of the Authority serving at the time of nomination This is an excellent program and should be ammended to permit recipients to be recorded in a display at the Authority Office and receive a lifetime pass. (B) SERVICE RECOGNITION While a few people are selected and recognized each year for an Honour Roll Award, the most important contribution to the Authority is the many years of service by its members and staff. This service should be recognized on an annual basis, as follows: (i) Authority and Advisory Board Members Members with five years of service would be recognized with a life- time pass. Members with ten years of service would be recognized with a silver memento. The lifetime passes and the silver mementos B -409 2 would be presented at the Authority Annual Meeting. Members with twenty years of service would be recognized with a gold memento at the Annual Authority Dinner and be recorded in the display at the Authority Office. (ii) Authority Staff Staff in all categories associated with the Authority for a minimum of 10 years would be recognized with a silver memento, with the presentation to be at the Annual Staff Christmas Dinner Dance. Staff with twenty -five years of service or on retirement after twenty years service would be recognised with a gold memento and be recorded in the display at the Authority Office. The Award would be presented at the Authority Annual Meeting. Staff would be presented a lifetime pass on retirement or on leaving the employ of the Authority after ten years of service. T. E.

ADJOURNMENT On Motion, the Meeting adjourned at 12:40 p.m., November 17. R.G. Henderson K.G. Higgs CARRIED; Chairman Secretary - Treasurer B -425 SCHEDULE "A" TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, M.T.R.C.A. - Meeting #18/76 RE: Staff Brief Canada - Ontario Great Lakes Shore Damage Survey Storm action superimposed upon record and near record high water' levels during the fall of 1972 and spring of 1973 caused extensive damage to Great Lakes shorelines and connecting channels by flooding and erosion. Environment Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources subsequently entered into an agreement to survey the nature and extent of these damages and to make prelim- inary recommendations related to shoreline management and planning. Acquisition of data on which these recommendations would be based commenced in the spring of 1973 and was completed in the summer of 1974. The report made the following conclusions and recommendations: "Structural shore damage due to erosion and inundation amounted to more than $19 million during the period of survey. Combined with $9 million in lost land value due to erosion, total costs were in excess of $28 million. The estimated cost of long -term protection in these hazard lands was $1.02 billion or $287/m, while total property value was estimated at $1.3 billion or $364/m, indicating that 54% of the total 'hazard land' shoreline is presently worth less than the cost of long -term shore protection. Alternatives include erosion and flood risk mapping, land use adjustments through zoning, setback requirements, acquisition, and structural protection. 1. shoreline hazard lands be defined for the Great Lakes including all erosion and inundation prone areas identified in this survey, where further development and land use should be regulated. 2. (a) hazard land policies for incorporation into official plans for all Great Lakes shoreline municipalities; (b) an acquisition policy related to lands with hazard characteristics. . 13-426 To: The Executive Committee - Meeting #18/76 Page 2 3. site specific studies be carried out in areas on the Great Lakes exhibiting hazard land characteristics to facilitate an evaluation of shore management alternatives based on land value, ownership, cost of protective works, erosion and recession rates, flood probability, environmental assessment and related cost - benefit studies. 4. a shoreline management /land use simulation model be developed to determine optimal management strategies for given reaches of shoreline. 5. public awareness programs be intensified. 6. shoreline process continue to be monitored. 7. research be carried out in shore processes and in the development of improved methods of long and short -term shore protection." The Report provides a very good inventory of shoreline conditions, including ownership, value, damage, land use, physical character- istics and existing protective works at the macro - scale. Certainly this information will be useful at the Provincial and Federal level for the establishment of policy for the management of the Great Lakes shorelines. Since it will be a document used for these purposes it is important to insure, particularly within the Authority's area of jurisdiction, that the conclusions are correct and the recommendations appropriate. The Report deals with the erodible shorelines of the Great Lakes: from Port Severn on Georgian Bay to Gananoque on Lake Ontario. The Report is divided into several chapters. The first chapter deals with the "Methods and Criteria of Survey;" this section describes the sources of data and the criteria for the exclusion of certain data. Chapter two is a discussion of the causes of erosion and inundation, perhaps one comment on the source of littoral materials is relevant: "Presently, it is agreed that although the contribution of suspended materials such as silt and clay to the lakes has probably increased due to the clearing of lands and shore- line construction, the input of littoral material (sand B -427 To: The Executive Committee - Meeting #18/76 Page 3 and gravel) has drastically decreased in the past several hundred years. The most obvious cause is the construction of flood control works on major streams resulting in the entrapment of coarse materials before reaching the lakes." Chapter three presents data on the magnitude of erosion. It is significant that there is no presentation of historical data on erosion rates for Metropolitan Toronto, where past surveys are in abundance: Lake Ontario Historical Recession Rates County or Shore- Range Regional line of Weighted Municip- length Coverage No. of Values Average ality (km) (km) ( %) Stations (m/vr) * (m/yr) * Metro Toronto Durham 46.82 .00 0.0 0 IMO •=110 64.92 24.49 37.7 15 0.00 to +1.16 +0.34 *Positive values indicate recession The weighted average recession rate for Lake Ontario was 0.43 m/yr. However, by photogrammetric means recession rates were determined: Lake Ontario Recession Rates (1955 -1973) County or Shore- Range Regional line of Weighted Municip- length Coverage No. of Values Average ality (km) (km) ( %) Stations (m/yr) * (m/yr)* Metro 46.82 15.77 33.7 9 - 1.97to +2.04 +0.51 Toronto Durham 64.92 37.05 57.1 21 - 0.27to +1.37 +0.47 * Positive values indicate recession Negative values indicate accession The weighted average recession rate for Lake Ontario was 0.37 m/yr. /4... B -428 To: The Executive Committee - Meeting #18/76 Page 4 This is the section in which a new parameter was generated to reflect the degree of erosion relative to bluff height: m3 /me /m ,/day. This parameter does give a more meaningful impression of recession rates, but it in no way reflects the varying magnitude of erosive forces which tends to give misleading impressions for high bluffs. Figure 3.3.4 on page 39 of the Report describes the Net Annual Erosion Rates for Lake Ontario. It is worth noting the five categories: 1. erosion < 0.5 m3 /m/m 2. 0.5 - 2.0 m3 /m/m 3. > 2.0 m3 /m/m 4. Reaches of net accretion 5. Reaches of insufficient period of record Within the Authority's area of jurisdiction: Etobicoke, Western Beaches and South side of Toronto Islands - Category 5 Eastern Beaches - Category 2 Scarborough Bluffs - Category 1 Pickering /Ajax - Category 1 and 2 Also, it is significant that there was not one erosion station (for measuring purposes) in all Metropolitan Toronto. Chapter Four addresses itself to the consequences of shore damage. It is worthwhile to note: "The Lake Ontario shoreline constitutes only 49% of the study area but includes 81% of the industrial and 69% of the agricultural shoreline uses. Recreational shoreline appears in minimal quantities-on Lake Ontario. Several areas have very high proportions of public shoreline, such as Niagara, 37 %; Hamilton- Wentworth, 41 %; Halton, 26 %; Peel, 49%; and Metro Toronto, 62%. Shoreland is most valuable in the Hamilton- Wentworth Region where the average value is $6,767/m. Industrial properties in Hamilton Harbour are worth $37,000 /m. The Metropolitan Toronto shoreland value of $4,231/m is deflated due to the lack of market values." B -429 To: The Executive Committee - Meeting #18/76 Page 5 The total damage from November 72 - November 73 was $28,435,034. This figure consists of 7,989,125 assessable to shore damage; 11,558,333 assessable to remedial works; and 8,887,576 assessable to lost land value. A Chart has been produced, see attached called "Lands with Hazard Characteristics," note that Scarborough Bluffs and Frenchman's Bay are not included yet, the Western Beaches are. Chapter Five deals with the ways and means of mitigating erosion and inundation. These include: i) long and short term shore protection; ii) water level regulation; iii) shoreland management and planning. This section also makes reference to the existing programmes underwritten by the Federal and Provincial Governments affecting Great Lakes shorelines. The Report does not make any reference to programmes of Ontario Conservation Authorities and the control of the shoreline through the Conservation Authorities Act. The Report offers the following cost - benefit analysis in conclusion: "Total value of Great Lakes riparian property in the study area was $1.3 billion with an average value of $364/m of shoreline. Estimated cost of long -term protection for the entire shoreline is $1.02 billion or $287 /m. This cost estimate was based on reinforced concrete protection for the entire shoreline at 1973 prices. Amortized over 20 years at 7 percent, the benefit cost ratio is .669 which suggests that structural protection of the real erodible shoreline is not economically sound. 54% of the total hazard land shoreline is worth less than the cost of long -term shore protection based on present economic trends." In addition, the Report concludes: "Policies and guidelines related to shore damage should be enunciated clearly and a distinction made between inundation and erosion damages since their long -term effects are substantially different. B -430 To: The Executive Committee - Meeting #18/76 Page 6 It must be made clear the Canada /Ontario Great Lakes Shore Damage Survey did not involve a detailed planning study. Thus, the range of alternatives for the mitigation of erosion and inundation problems must be examined generally, then assessed in relation to specific reaches of shoreline. Alternatives should include erosion and flood risk mapping, land use adjustments through zoning, setback requirements, acquisition and structural protection." In conclusion there seems to be some significant errors and omissions in the Report as it effects Metropolitan Toronto: i) questionable real property values; ii) the lack of erosion stations in Metro; iii) the failure to recognize that increased erosio,1 of high bluffs is not felt until several years after a high water event; iv) no consideration of the impending hazard to development atop the Scarborough Bluffs; v) no reference to Conservation Authorities Ac:.; vi) an erroneous hazard map. The recommendations are generally satisfactory although they fail to adequately emphasize that already urbanized areas do not have any options left; development has occurred, therefore shore protection and acquisition are the only feasible solutions. RECOMMENDATION IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: The Government of Ontario be advised that although there are some significant errors and omissions, the Authority generally concurs with the recommendations of the Report: Great Lakes Shore Damage Survey subject to the Report being corrected to take into account the following: i) the regulatory controls of Conservation Authorities under the Conservation Authorities Act be recognized; ii) that certain urbanized sections of the Great Lakes shorelines have a limited number of options available for shoreline management; B -431 To: The Executive Committee - Meeting #18/76 Page 7 iii) that the hazard lands defined in the Report be re- analyzed for the Metropolitan Toronto area; iv) that Provincial or Federal policies are not formulated until the foregoing points have been resolved; and FURTHER THAT the Government of Canada be requested to establish erosion stations in the Metropolitan Toronto area and update the shoreline property values for this area; and THAT the Province of Ontario designate the Authority to carry out a site - specific study for the Metropolitan Toronto region, to determine an optimum shoreline management programme which will include a feasible balance of regulation, hazard land acquisition and a proposal for carrying out actual shore protection including methods and priority areas. This could be part of the funding allocation for the Waterfront Project 1977 -1981. M. R.

It is considered that such an increase in this Authority from the existing 75% contributions, would be acceptable to the Anti Inflation Board within the "historic relationship" category and thus not be included in the total compensation package under Anti Inflation Board guidelines. The review also indicates that other organizations also provide some form of Dental Plan. It is not considered feasible to add a Dental Plan to the existing benefit plans at this time. Although no provision for such an increase has been provided for in the 1977 Preliminary Budget Estimates, it is felt that such an increase could be funded on the basis of guidelines established by the Province and Municipalities. RECOMMENDATION IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED THAT the Authority contribute 100% of costs of employee benefits with respect to:- Medical Supplement Long Term Disability Group Life Insurance O.H.I.P. effective January 1, 1977.

SCHEDULE "C" B -467 TO: THE CI- (AIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, M.T.R.C.A. - Meeting #19/76 RE: Future Development Frenchman's Bay Town of Pickering Frenchman's Bay is the second largest body of protected water along the Metropolitan Toronto region waterfront. It has an interior shoreline of 3.3 miles with 180 acres of protected water and 52 acres of marshes. HISTORY Frenchman's Bay has a long history of use dating back to the first half of the 19th century at which time it was a very active commercial port. Today, the Bay is utilized as a harbour for recreational boating. As well, the Frenchman's Bay area once housed a variety of cottages, which over the years, has given way to urban advancement. SIGNIFICANCE OF FRENCHMAN'S BAY Frenchman's Bay is one of the major natural resources along the shoreline of Lake Ontario in the area under the jurisdiction of the Authority. It was identified in the 1968 Waterfront Plan for the Metropolitan Toronto Planning Area as an important harbour for recreational boating. It has also been identified by the Authority, Ministry of Natural Resources, and naturalist groups, as being significant as a marsh area in which a wide variety of fish and water fowl thrive. Authority waterfront plans continue to recognize the importance of Frenchman's Bay for a variety of boating. These plans indicate boating largely being concentrated and expanded in the south -east corner of the Bay. Due to the lack of protected water along the waterfront for safe harbourage for small boats during sudden storms, the safety aspects offered by the Bay for recreational boating must be realized. In terms of recreational boating, the first major area of protected water to the west of Frenchman's Bay is Ashbridge's Bay, a distance of approximately 16 miles along the waterfront. Bluffers Park does offer some protected water•at the present time, but the distance to Frenchman's Bay is still approximately 10 miles. As well, Authority waterfront plans continue to recognize the significance of the natural resource of the Frenchman's Bay marshes. These marshes are one of only a few such natural areas remaining along the waterfront in the Metropolitan Toronto region. The marshes serve as habitat and spawning or nesting areas for a variety of fish and wildlife. Frenchman's Bay has been found to be the most productive recreational fish area along the waterfront. Northern pike, yellow perch, white perch, rock bass, among others are frequently caught in Frenchman's Bay. Mallard and black ducks, blue heron, Canada geese and variety of terns and gulls can be seen in the marshes. In addition to the proposed major uses of recreational boating and passive uses in conjunction with the natural areas, the Authority also intends to develop the natural sand beaches of the Frenchman's Bay spits for swimming, sunbathing, etc., and to provide such ancillary facilities as picnicking areas. B -468 TO: The Executive Committee - Meeting #19/76 RE: Future Development - Frenchman's Bay Town of Pickering Page 2 AUTHORITY INVOLVEMENT IN FRENCHMAN'S BAY To date, the Authority's involvement in the Frenchman's Bay area has concentrated on the administration of Ontario Regulation 735/73 and the acquisition of lands around the Bay. (a) Ontario Regulation 735/73 As empowered by the Conservation Authorities Act, the Authority may make regulations applicable in the area under its jurisdiction for: (i) the straightening, changing, diverting or inter- fering in any way with the existing channel of a river, creek, stream, or watercourse; (ii) the construction of any building or structure in or on a pond or swamp or in any area susceptible to flooding during a regional storm and defining regional storms for the purposes of such regulations; (iii) the placing or dumping of fill of any kind in any defined part of the area over which the Authority has jurisdiction in which in the opinion of the Authority the control of flooding or pollution or the conservation of land may be affected by the placing or dumping of fill. The Authority has in the past and will continue in the future to apply these regulations to Frenchman's Bay and the creeks which drain into the Bay. There has been some di:ficulty in applying these regulations to the major owner of Frenchman's Bay, the Pickering Harbour Company, as they operate under a Federal charter. (b) Acquisition The Authority's waterfront plans for Frenchman's Bay area include an extensive acquisition programme and to this end, the Authority has now accummulated sizeable holdings, including title to approximately 100 acres of land. As well, the Authority has leased approximately 100 acres from Ontario Hydro known as Sandy Beach Park, located near the south -east corner of Frenchman's Bay. This park is now operated and maintained by the Town of Pickering. This active acquisition programme, clearly illustrates the Authority's intent to have Frenchman's Bay under public title and to develop the Bay for a variety of regional public recreational activities. The acquisition of a waterfront access link from the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area to the south -west corner of Frenchman's Bay, and the acquisition of the Bay itself, still remain outstanding and must be acquired prior to the implementation of the Authority's plans for this waterfront area. The Authority has, in the past, investi- gated and attempted various avenues for the acquisition of Frenchman's Bay, but to date,-has been unsuccessful. • B -469 To: The Executive Committee - Meeting #19/76 Re: Future Development - Frenchman's Bay Town of Pickering Page 3' PROBLEMS TODAY The continuing urban encroachment immediately adjacent to Frenchman's Bay and along the 6 creeks that drain into the northern end and the 3 creeks that drain into the south -east corner of the Bay, is affecting the quality of the marshes and the water of Frenchman's Bay. This impaired quality may have the adverse effect of limiting alternative uses or even prohibiting proposed Authority uses for the Bay. Similarly, continued development around Frenchmans Bay may have the effect of physically foreclosing options for future recreational development in this area. Continued urbanization generally increases sediment and nutrient loadings of watercourses and employs watercourses as the main recepients of storm sewer effluent. These conditions have and would appear to continue to become evident in the creeks that drain into Frenchman's Bay. Also, several storm sewers serving adjacent urbanized areas terminate in the Bay directly. All these inputs tend to degrade the quality of the marshes and the water in Frenchman's Bay. Therefore, in order to combat-quality problems resulting from continued urbanization, consideration should be given to imple- menting building set backs from watercourses and around the marshes of the Bay, and to implementing building by -laws to regulate the manner in which development is undertaken. Further, consideration should be given to developing a storm water manage- ment philosophy for the Frenchman's Bay vicinity, which could include, in part, new storm sewer systems terminating in Lake Ontario as opposed to the Bay itself. Urban development proposals in the vicinity of Frenchman's Bay appear to limit considerations to the immediate future. The Authority has recently received draft secondary plans and sub- division proposals for various portions of the eastern side of the Bay. It would appear that these plans address themselves to very localized areas without an overall view to the entire or major portions of the Bay. Further, although Frenchman's Bay still remains largely in private ownership, the Authority has in fact established its intent to develop Frenchman's Bay as a major regional recreational area, and this future use must be planned for and accommodated if such uses are to be realized in the future. In 1971 -1972, the Authority and the then Township of Pickering recognized the need to examine the future of the east side of Frenchman's Bay for development and redevelopment. A jointly funded study was commissioned which dealt with land use and traffic considerations for this area: This study was received and its findings endorsed by the Authority, however, the Town of Pickering has taken no action on this report. B -470 To: The Executive Committee - MeeLing #19/76 Re: Future Development - Frenchman's Bay Town of Pickering Page 4 CONCLUSIONS To insure the future use of Frenchman's Bay for recreational purposes and to insure the preservation of the Bay as a natural area, the Authority and the Town of Pickering must work together - the Authority's regulations and the Town of Pickering's zoning by- laws must complement each other; the adverse effects of urbanization on the quality of Frenchman's Bay must be minimized;-and, Official Plan designations and secondary plans must provide for proposed future recreational uses. RECOMMENDATIONS Whereas continued urbanization adjacent to Frenchman's Bay and the watercourses flowing into it may adversely affect the quality of the Bay so as to limit proposed future uses; and, Whereas continued development immediately adjacent to Frenchman's Bay may physically preclude future uses for the Frenchman's Bay area; and, Whereas current planning considerations would not appear to encompass the future development of Frenchman's Bay as a major regional recreational resource; IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED THAT: (i) All future planning for Frenchman's Bay be cognizant of, and make provision for the future development of Frenchman's Bay as a major regional recreational resource.

DECISION OF HEARING RE APPLICATION FOR PERMIT UNDER O.R. 735/73 UNITED JEWISH WELFARE FUND OF TORONTO Res. #430 Moved by: Seconded by: M.J. Breen Mrs. J.A. Gardner BE IT RESOLVED THAT: This Executive Committee confirm the decision of the Hearing held this 15th day of December, 1976; and B -473 -2- THAT the application of the United Jewish,Welfare Fund of Toronto for a permit to construct an institutional building and parking facilities on the flood plain of the Don River, being Part of Lot 17, Concession IIW, Borough of North York, be refused for the following reasons: (a) The subject site lies within the area which was flooded during Hurricane Hazel - 1954, as defined on Authority Flood Line Map Sheet #5W of the Don River, which forms part of the Schedule to Ontario Regulation 735/73; (b) The policy adopted by the Authority under the Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation recognizes that the construction of control works cannot be considered to have the effect of eliminating flooding and thereby releasing flood plain land for development purposes; (c) Under the maximum probable flood, the G. Ross Lord Dam would be required to pass the full flow of the watershed above the dam and would, under those extreme conditions, have limited effect as a flood control structure. In order to safeguard downstream communities and human life, which would be in jeopardy if the dam failed, the spillway of the G. Ross Lord Dam is designed to pass the maximum probable flood. Conditions similar to this flood would be created if the full reservoir had to be lowered rapidly as the result of an impending severe storm, or if the dam could not be operated; (d) The channel constructed on the subject property, under conditions in excess of the design flood, could fail. If the channel were overtopped, it would fail, with resultant flooding and erosion of the adjacent flood plain. MINUTES The Minutes of Meeting #19/76 we•:e presented.

T)EC G Dear Sir: RE: MTRCA - JURISDICTION - OPINION - 1976 - OUR FILE NUMBER 10- 27,484. You have asked for our opinion concerning the power of the Conservation Authority to grant "fill, building or channel diversion" permits pursuant to the provisions of Section 27 of The Conservation Authorities Act. We understand the background of facts against which our opinion is sought to be as follows: (a) The MTRCA has delegated to its Executive Committee the power to hold hearings called for under Section 27(2a) in respect of applications for such permits. (b) Accordingly, the Executive Committee deals with all applications for such permits and either grants or refuses them. The questions posed of us are as follows: Having made their decision (either to grant or refuse the permit), can the Executive Committee thereafter reopen the matter without a fresh application having been made? or Can the full Authority reopen the matter and review the decision of the Executive Committee with or without a fresh application having been made? In our opinion, the answer to the first question is "No ". In our opinion, the answer to th'e second question is "No ", unless the Authority has rescinded its delegation of the power to hear these applications to the Executive Committee and a fresh application for a permit has been received from the Applicant. B -485 TO: The Chairman and Members, Executive Committee, M.T.R.C.A., #20/76. RE: Referrals from Authority Meeting #6/76 - Administration of Ontario Regulation 735/73, Mr. G.J. Gaglione - City of Mississauga Skyline Hotels Limited - Borough of Etobicoke 2 3. Our Mr. Patton has previously expressed our opinion on this matter orally to the Executive Committee. Our negative answer to the first question is founded upon our opinion that, having made its decision upon the application, the Executiv Committee is functus officio and its power to deal with the matter there- after is spent. In our opinion, the only further proceedings possible upon that particular application are by way of an appeal from an Executiv Committee refusal to grant the permit, and appeal proceedings must be to the Minister under Section 27(2c). "Functus officio" is a rule of law that is incidental to the concept of jurisdiction. It means that the jurisdiction to decide a matter, once the decision is made, has been exhausted and cannot be revived. Functus officio applies to the exercise of a judicial or quasi judicial power, but not to the exercise of a legislative or executive power. In our opinion, in an application fora permit of this kind, the Executive Committee is exercising a quasi judicial power. A person who appears before or is required to appear before a quasi judicial body for permission to do something is afforded various forms of protection. One of the .forms of protection is the rule that once the matter has been decided, the Tribunal which decided it cannot reopen it. The concept is particularly applicable in a case where, relying on the Tribunal's decision, the Applicant has taken, or is entitled to take, certain steps which can alter his position - for example, by way of construction on or alteration of his property. Our opinion concerning the inability of the full Authority to reverse the Executive Committee decision rests upon the fact that the Authority has delegated that power to the Executive Committee and has no status in the application for the issue of the permit unless the Authority rescinds the delegation of that power prior to the Executive Committee's decision. In other words, unless the Authority rescinds this delegation at large, or in respect of a particular case, the. action of the Executive Committee is the operative action and concludes the matter. We trust that the foregoing suffices to answer the questions which you asked of us. Yours truly, Ct JBC:sr / John B. Conlin. B-486 TO: The Chairman and Members, 4. Executive Committee, M.T.R.C.A., #20/76. RE: Referrals from Authority Meeting #6/76 - Administration of Ontario Regulation 735/73, Mr. G.J. Gaglione - City of Mississauga Skyline Hotels Limited - Borough of Etobicoke The second parts of the resolutions request that the applications be reconsidered, taking into consideration the Authority's policy concerning 'Conservation Aspects of Official Plans'.

Seven Areas were open during the winter months. Throughout the year routine maintenance and operation programs were carried out. These included manning the entrance gates, maintaining roads, parking lots, washrooms and buildings, garbage collection, grass cutting, fertilizing and spraying, operating special facilities such as swimming areas, ski tows, boat rental and campgrounds, woodlot mainten- ance, maintenance of Area equipment and supervising groups and individuals using our Areas. At the beginning of the year a ski rental facility was developed at Albion IIills Conservation Area. A major expansion of this program took place in December. Attendance during December making use of the equip- ment and facilities indicates that this program will be highly success- ful. Attendance at the conservation areas during 1976 was down approximately 9% from 1975. Comparison of the individual Area attendance can be seen in the following table. The decrease in attendance resulted during the May to August period and was due to cool, wet weather, particularly on week -ends. The January to April and September to December periods showed a small increase over the corresponding periods in 1975. 1976 1975 Albion Hills 193,326 181,621 Black Creek 300,507 297,699 Boyd 180,706 216,211 Bruce's Mill 140,383 164,282 Claireville 62,571 69,621 Claremont 24,259 25,810 Cold Creek 54,205 53,272 Glen Haffy 52,900 60,653 Greenwood 56,941 51,907 Heart Lake 118,008 160,121 Humber Trails 3,165 3,318 Milne 38,326 49,490 Woodbridge 16,190 20,856 Petticoat Creek 39,806 44,164 Claireville Camp. 36,268 36,871 Total 1,317,561 1,435,896 The 1976 attendance indicates a decrease of 118,335, or approx. 9 %, over the 1975 year. Conservation Services Reforestation - Approximately 55,000 trees were planted for private landowners this year. One subsidy was granted to a landowner for planting Ministry trees himself. In the spring Boy Scout groups planted 10,000 trees at Cold Creek; 24,000 at Claireville and last fall 4,000 trees at Boyd Conservation Area. During the summer a woodlot manage- ment plan was begun for the conservation areas and wildlife areas. Farm Trees and Shrubs - Wildlife shrubs were planted this year at Albion Hills (2,000), Claremont (800) and Boyd (2,000) Conservation Areas. This fall, farm trees were planted at Albion Hills (100), Boyd (100) and Heart Lake (100) Conservation Areas. Approximately 5,900 trees and 6,500 shrubs were planted for private landowners under the Farm Tree and Shrub Program. This year several organizations such as Metro Parks, the City of Brampton, Peel Board of Education and the Town of Caledon purchased 1,950 farm trees and 2,200 shrubs from the Authority. Conservation Assistance - This year fourteen site visits were made for private reforestation, twenty -seven site visits for farm tree and shrub assistance; fourteen site visits for pond construction and weed control; twelve visits for private erosion control assistance, and nine for private tree spade rental. One conservation plan was undertaken for a landowner in Caledon Township. Erosion Control - This summer six erosion control projects were completed for private landowners, and to date there are twelve requests on file. An erosion control project was carried out for the City of Mississauga this fall. B -519 - 3 Tree Spade - Six private tree spade rentals were carried out and there are three requests on file. The tree spade was primarily involved in digging trees for landscape projects at Ashbridges Bay, Bluffers Park, Claireville campsite and the sale of large caliber trees to government organizations.- It was also used for erosion control. Landscaping - Landscape projects were carried out at Bluffers Park, Ashbridges Bay and Claireville campsite. A tree maintenance program was carried out at Bluffers Park, Ashbridges Bay Park and Humber Mimico Parks. 2. Financial Statement, Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 1976 Cons. Area Develop. Cons.

Financial Comments Conservation Areas Development The conservation areas development spending was primarily on target, except for an unexpected cost involved in the completion of the under- ground hydro system in the Black Creek Conservation Area. Conservation Areas Operations The drop in revenues can be identified primarily as a result of cool, wet weather, particularly on week -ends in the May to August period. The winter periods from January to April and in the month of December indicated an increase in Area attendance over the corresponding periods in 1975. The overspending indicated can be related to the following major items which were required to continue to provide service. Higher labour costs for the operation of the Petticoat Creek pool are related to the over- wintering problem. In the Cold Creek Conservation Area there was a requirement for the installation of a new well to supply potable water for the Area users and the Cold Creek Field Centre. In the Albion Hills Conservation Area a new septic tank for the super- intendent's residence was required. These items were not budgetted for, but were a necessity and had to be installed. These unplanned items, in addition to the wet year which increased our grass maintenance costs not only in labour but in vehicle and machinery rental costs, contributed to the overspending of the operations program. Conservation Services While the funding for this program was within limits, the reduction in the revenues was contributed to the lack of requests for assistance in the conservation plans and the reduction of nursery stock available from the Ministry of Natural Resources for the implementation of the reforestation program. 13-520 TO: TIIE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, M.T.R.C.A. EXECUTIVE MEETING #22/76 RE: STAFF FINANCIAL PROGRESS REPORT - HISTORICAL SITES DIVISION SEPTEMBER 1, 1976 TO DECEMBER 31, 1976 1) PROGRAM A.

D. Grounds, Maintenance and Development (cont'd.) The gift shop at the village entrance was given a heavier hydro service to provide the building with better heating. A new entrance way was built to accommodate the new heating unit. Hydro was also installed at the Dickson Hill School and a heating system installed. To help keep the crawl space under the school dry and to prevent the rotting of flooring and floor joists, a drain had to be installed. The Livestock Department has purchased a cow and two bull calves which will be trained as oxen. The older yoke of oxen, three pigs and some lambs have been shipped to market. Heather, the three year -old Clydesdale filly is being trained to pull the wagon. The valley flats have been seeded where the Black Creek was diverted. Winter maintenance is in progress. Tne skating rink is in use and helping to attract visitors. The revamping of the village hydro system has been completed and the contract, let almost two years ago, has been completed. This new layout will allow work to be done on individual sections of the system without crippling power failures throughout the entire site. E. Staff This season staff has been active in enrichment programs. Jeanne Hughes, Frances Castle and Lorraine O'Byrne went to Old Sturbridge Village, Plymouth Plantation and Old Mystic Seaport to study interpretation and education at these sites. Jeanne Hughes and Lorraine O'Byrne attended an O.M.A. seminar "Research" at Peterborough. Lorraine O'Byrne attended a C.S.O. workshop in Burlington - "The Educational Use of Costume ".

Operations Attendance for the year 1976 went over 300,000 for the first time since the Village opened in 1957. The summer figures of 293,346 were down very slightly, but the winter attendance in 1976 of 7,161 is considerably higher than 1975. The rapidly increased cost of maintenance is becoming a major concern, and this together with mounting overhead resulted in the over expenditure of $21,671. Gross sales by Canteen of Canada at the snack bar appear to be down almost $42,000 and this accounts for most of the shortage in revenue. Total sales in the gift shop for 1976 were $377,838, which is an increase of more than $66,000 over 1975 sales. There are now 866 family, individual and life citizens which compares with 278 in 1975. The Dickson Hill School Program was attended by twenty - six classes in 1976. B. Capital Money from The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation and Wintario is being used for several projects. The Dominion Carriage Works basement has been finished and will be used as a workshop and storage area. The Edgeley Mennonite Meeting House was moved in and placed on its foundation on October 15, 1976. Hydro was installed into the building in preparation for restoration work. Reconstruction of the Doctor's Home is underway with the roof on and shingled. The building has been closed and the work will continue through the winter months.

Temporary repairs were carried out on the Malvern Channel to an area damaged by the Flood on the Highland Creek in August. Sufficient funds were not available to carry out any other repairs on the Highland Creek. Approval of the major maintenance item for the G. Ross Lord Dam was received and th. lighting system for the Hoist building has been installed. The reservoirs at the Milne Dam, Stouffville Dam and Claireville Dam have been lowered to the winter level. The reservoir level at the Milne Dam must be maintained as low as possible due to the construction of a portion of the York- Durham Sewer through the reservoir area. Concrete repairs to the Bruce's Mill Dam were carried out as well this year. For the year as a whole all the work contemplated for 1976 was carried out. The damages incurred to the Highland Creek could not be repaired under the maintenance program and will have to be done under a separate capital project. b) FINANCIAL STATEMENT TO DECEMBER 31, 1976 YEAR % OF TO DATE TOTAL BUDGET EXPEND.

The major acquisitions included acquisition of the Regulus Invest. Ltd. property in Etobicoke and the Metland Professional Investments Corp. property in the Borough of North York. Flood Control Plan Review Approval was received for the Environmental Monitoring Program for the watersheds. The field work for this initial study has been completed and we are awaiting delivery of the written report and assesment. The second major study to be initiated under the Flood Control Plan Review, is that of the development of a hydrologic model for the Etobicoke and Mimico Creek Watersheds and has progressed to the point of receiving two proposals for the development of the model. The consultant will be chosen and the study commenced for the early part of January, 1977. The flood line mapping of the Etobicoke and Mimico Creeks is progressing and to date, the photography has been done along with the preparation of the first few mapping sheets. First proofs for our approval are expected in February, 1977. The contract documents for the mapping of the Humber River have been prepared and are ready for mailing by the first of January.

Page 7 5) WATERFRONT PROJECT 1972 -1976 a) PROGRESS - Humber Bay West Waterfront Area The landfilling necessary for the construction of the break- water and back -up area for the boat basin is continuing. To December 31, 1976 a total of approximately 9.2 acres of land has been created. A final headland location was reached in December and armouring with concrete rubble should be complete by mid - January. The filling operation is continuing in an area of protected water for the winter months. The 1977 fill program has been designed and it is expected that another final headland will be reached by November,1977. Humber Bay East Waterfront Area Design work is proceeding in anticipation of tender calls in early spring and major development works being carried out throughout the remainder of 1977. Close liaison with the Metro Parks Department is being maintained in the design process so that the staff of that agency are aware of future maintainence responsibilities. Western Beaches Waterfront Area The Toronto Harbour Commission, as agents for the Authority, have completed a detailed feasibility study of all aspects of the marine works including the preparation of preliminary de- signs and cost estimates. This study is under review by staff in preparation for construction beginning in the spring. Ashbridge's Bay Waterfront Area The roads, parking lots and lighting contract is now approxi- mately 97% complete with the major outstanding item being the installation of the navigation lights. The landscaping, site work and architectural contract is also approximately 97% complete with the major outstanding item being the installation of prefabricated benches along the boardwalk. The grading, topsoiling and seeding of the site has been com- pleted by Authority forces and in addition approximately 4900 yards of sod have been laid along the edges of the pathways. Authority staff has also constructed approximately 4000 feet of service roads and pathways. The staff of the Conservation Land Management Division has completed most of the planting on site and are making prepar- ations to complete the planting and continue the work on turf establishment in the spring.

Page 8 5) WATERFRONT PROJECT 1972 -1976 a) PROGRESS - Ashbridge's Bay Waterfront Area (continued) Authority staff ' has constructed 50 picnic tables ready for delivery to the site in the spring. Bluffers Waterfront Area Landfilling is continuing on Phase II and to December 31, 1976 approximately 16.0 acres of land have been created. Environ- ment Canada through its agent Public Works Canada has completed the armouring of the new easterly headland of Phase II as well as installing final armouring on two headlands of the boat launch basin spit which had been temporarily armoured. The total value of the works carried out under the Small Craft Harbours Assis- tance Program was approximately $325,000. Staff are currently discussing the 1977 armouring program with DOE and DPW and this will be finalized as soon as the detailed coastal engineering for the 1977 fill program is complete. Further detailed design work for the site development of Phase II will proceed when the results of the boating study have been analysed and an allocation of.the mooring spaces and day sail space has been made. East Point Park Design work is proceeding so that the Authority can take advan- tage of any cost savings which might result from the adjacent developments by Metropolitan Toronto. Environmental Monitoring Program The 1976 Environmental Monitoring Program has been completed and the final reports are being prepared. Staff have reviewed the outlines for the monitoring report and the circulation study report and have directed the consultants to complete both reports as soon as possible. These reports will be presented to the Executive Committee upon completion. The design of the 1977 Sampling program is well underway and meetings have been held with MOE to review the proposed pro- gram. The details of the program along with cost estimates will be presented to the Executive for approval in the near future. Waterfront Project 1977 -1981 The Project is being considered by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Shoreline Management A preliminary assessment of the priority ratings for shore protection has been made and as a result detailed design is proceeding for protective work!J at Crescentwood Parkette. Scarborough is planning to carry out some corrective measures on the bluff face and the Authority may be able to install toe protection as a joint project. 13-544 TO: THE CIIAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF TIIE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, MTRCA.

Firstly, in cooperation with the Toronto Harbour Commission, a new programme of staggered hours of operation among the three active landfill sites was implemented which reduced overtime costs at each of the Authority sites while not reducing the fill volumes received. Secondly, receipts of concrete rubble were sufficient to heavily armour all of the exterior shorelines so that no final armouring was required and hopefully will not be required until a final decision is made on the Authority's Small Craft Harbour Assistance application. B -545 TO: THE CI-IAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, MTRCA RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM AUGUST 31, TO DECEMBER 31, 1976. Page 10 c) FINANCIAL COMMENTS - Western Beaches No billings have been received to date for the design work which is underway. Bluffers Similar to Humber Bay West, significant cost savings were achieved as a result of the more efficient operation of all waterfront landfill sites. In addition, the participation of Fisheries and Environment Canada under the Small Craft Harbours Assistance Program eliminated the cost of armouring from the Authority's expenditures. Studies and Research Cost savings were achieved in this part of the programme as a result of increased participation of Authority staff in the monitoring programme which reduced consulting costs as well as one staff position being vacant for most of the year pending a decision on funding for the 1977 -1981 Project. Land Acquisition The. overexpenditure for this part of the programme resulted from the establishing of a trust account to cover the cost of the unsettled expropriations for the Garton and West Properties, Seminary Property and Sunnypoint Crescent Properties. Some of the savings resulting from certain aspects of the development programme have been used to cover this overexpenditure. General Although the expenditure summary indicates an underexpenditure of $104,954.83, the payments to the Harbour Commission for November and December are not included nor is a payment to the Ontario Centre for Remote Sensing for aerial photography nor a payment to Toronto Hydro for the installation at Ashbridge's Bay. The invoices for these items were not received in time for inclusion in the summary of expenditures. These items total approximately $100,000. In addition, there is one Change Order to the Landscaping, Site Work and Architectural Contract at Ashbridge's Bay which is currently being reviewed and will increase the contract value by approximately $8,000. Therefore there is approximately $108,000. outstanding which is chargeable to the 1976 development programme.

B -547 SCHEDULE "C" PROJECT W.C. -60 PROGRESS REPORT, CURRENT PRIORITIES AND THE 1977 WORK PROGRAMME INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this report is to outline the progress of Project W.C. -60, which j_s designed to carry out the following: (a) Major erosion control and bank stabilization remedial works on a priority basis for the major and intermediate watercourses. (b) Initiate a preventative programme in the form of minor remedial works and re- vegetation of embankments. Since site conditions change continually, the priorities have to be reviewed on a regular basis. The current top priorities are reflected in the work programme for 1977 and the proposed major remedial work sites for 1978, which are found in the respective sections of this report. The section on "Current Priorities" indicate those sites that have been placed in a high priority pool, which also shows the sites to be considered after 1978, at which time the present five year project will terminate. ../2 B -548 2 ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE: The following is a list of sites at which major or minor remedial work was carried out between September, 1974 (inception of project) and December, 197:;.

The original priority ratings listed in the James F. MacLaren report of March, 1970, are used only as a starting point in assessing the rate of progress and deterioration during the seven years that have elapsed. B'sed on year -round monitoring, the severity of the problem in its present state and a fair idea of its relative potential to deteriorate, the staff has determined a pool of sites bearing high priority ratings. The priorities within this pool change continually as we strive to ameliorate the list with the steady influx of technical data on site conditions.
