RE: Project W.C.-GO, Erosion Control and Bank Stabilization
in Metropolitan Toronto; 10-Year Programme and 5-Year
Project:
Priorities and Proposed Major Remedial Work Sites for
1976-1978 inclusive
Due to the large number of sites requiring erosion control and
bank stabilization work throughout M~tropolitan Toronto, major
" remedial work is being undertaken on a priority basis. The original
priority ratings listed in the James F. MacLaren report of March,
19'70, are used only as a starting point in assessing the rate of
progress and deterioration during the six years that have elapsed.
Based 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.
The following should help elucidate some of the main constraints
encountered in attempting to work within a rigid priority structure:
(a) Degree of uncertainty in relative rates of progress of
different physical problems (such as bank instability
problems arising from ground water conditions versus
river bank erosion problems) ;
(b) Some problems are more apparent during certain stages of
.
development and are more evident during certain seasons
and/or during seasonal changes;
(c) Where remedial work at a few of the bigger problem areas
could cost in the region of $200,000.-$250,000. a site,
work may have to be confined to one such area per annum
or be undertaken at more than one site in distinct phases
,.spread over two consecutive years, where it is technically
and economically feasible to do so;
(d) Tim~"'lapse involved with the necessity to hire consultants
to determine and analyze geotechnical and engineering
"information prior to deciding on the most appropriate
design alternative for a specific location;
... ' (e) Seasonal preference for certain types of remedial work;
(f) Necessity to plan and maintain an element of practical
continuity in manpower versus machine-oriented forms of
remedial work;
(g) Necessity to continue with or modify remedial work already
carried out by other agencies prior to the inception of
. the Authority1s erosion control and bank stabilization
work programme in September, 1974;
,
.

(Contd. . . . . . . . . Page 2) .
C-6
RE: Project W.C.-GO: priorities ilnd Proposed Major
Remedial Wl)rl< sites for 19G7--19711 inclusive 2.
(h) Recognition of the fact. that there is a majority of
higher priority sites on certain watercourses and,
therefore, in certain Boroughs;
. (i) Necessity to retain sufficient flexibility within the
pool of top priority sites in case of inability to
reach agicement regarding such issues as access or
, cost sharing required of all the property owners at
an affected site; or for anyone or a combination of
the constraints identified in items "a" to "g" above.

The following is a list of sites slated for major remedial
work this year. Also included are those sites that are presently

SCHEDULE "All
TO: TIlE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER
CONSERVATION ADVISORY BOARD
RE: FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM
The Flood Warning System is a major component of the Authority1s
Flood Control Program and it is one aspect which will be studied
as part of the Flood Control Plan Review. The establishment of a
radio communication system for the Authority, was the first step
in updating and re-vitalizing the Flood Warning System. Several
other steps are planned whiCh will strengthen the system and
ensure that the Authority's role and responsibilities for Flood
Warninq are met.
The decision bv the Province of Ontario to disband the Emergency
Measures Organization and designate the Ministry of Natural
Resources as the head Ministry for flood control and forest fire
control resulted in the Ministry of Natural Resources preparing a
list of responsibilities of the Ministry, the Municipalities and
the Conservation Authorities in the event of a flood emergency.
These responsibilities were published in a booklet and distributed
in the spring of 1976. The various responsibilities are outlined
below:
1) Municipalities
l. The responsibilities of police, fire, public utilities,
welfare, health and other municipal service requi~-ed
in an emergency and the method by which each service
will function should be included in the Flood
Contingency Plan.
2. The municipality should appoint a Flood Co-ordinator who
will:
(a) Assess a flood situation.
(b) Recommend municipal declaration of an emergency.
(c) Upon declaration of a municipal emergency implement
the Flood Contingency Plan and co-ordinate the
municipal response.
(d) Liaise with the Conservation Authority where applica-
ble and with the local Ministry of Natural Resources
Response Co-ordinator.
(e) Determine if municipal resources are adequate or if
additional resources are needed.
( f) Recommend the municipality request Provincial assis-
tance.

2) Conservation Authorities
It will be a function of Conservation Authorities to:
1. Maintain a flood warning system throughout the Authority
for alerting municipal representatives, media, local
police, the Ontario Provincial Police, the Ministry of
Natural Resources, etc.
2. Stimulate co-ordinated contingency planning by and among
municipalities lying within the Authority. ,
3. Maintain awareness of the status of the provincial
response to flood emergency through consultation with the
local Ministry of Natural Resources Response Co-ordinator.
4 . Provide technical advice to municipalities in preventing
or reducing the effect of flooding.
5. Liaise with the local Response Co-ordinator in matters
related to declaring a provincial emergency, and securing
provincial resources in the event of a declared provincial
emergency.
6. Advise the local Response Co-ordinator when municipal
resources have been fully committed, the need for addi-
tional resources, and the need for declaration of a pro-
vincial emergency.
7. Following consultation with municipalities, advise the
local Response Co-ordinator when an emergency no longer
exists.
8. Designate personnel who will carry out the functions men-
tioned in sections 2.1 to 2.7 and any other functions as
appear appropriate.
3) The Ministry of Natural Resources
1. The Ministry will appoint a Provincial Co-ordinator who
will:
(a) Establish a provincial emergency response plan.
(b) Liaise with other ministries and secure authorization
and support for action at field level, as necessary
to organize and deliver a provincial response.

assistance with respect to a flood emergency, provided
that:
(i) The total resources of and available to the
municipality under its Flood Contingency Plan
have been committed or are inadequate to deal
with the emergency.
(ii) The municipality has declared that an emergency
exists within the municipality, and the
declaration has been made by a municipal
official designated in a pre-established Flood
Contingency Plan for that purpose.
(iii) The request for provincial assistance is origi-

C-27
TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER
CONSERVATION ADVISORY BOARD
.
RE: FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM Page 4
As a result of the responsibilities listed above, the Authority.s
first step was to arrange a meeting with the local Response
Co-ordinator. At this meeting the Authority felt that it should
take an active role in ensuring that the local municipalities have
developed a flood contingency plan and to provide assistance to
those municipalities which have not as yet developed a plan. In
this regard, we suggested that the Ministry of Natural Resources
prepare a general plan which would be adopted by each municipality
to meet its own particular needs. Once this plan is available the
Authority' will meet with our Regional Municipalities to present
the plan. It is hoped that this initial step will stimulate
co-ordinated contingency planning by the municipalities within the
Authority.
The other major function as indicated above is the operation of a
flood warning system for alerting the municipalities, media, police,
and the Ministry of Natural Resources of an impending flood
emergency so that they can implement their contingency plans as soon
as possible. As indicated the radio system for the Authority is a
major component in the flood warning system and will provide a
communication network which was not possible before. Having the
facility along with the use of the Ministry of Natural Resources
emergency frequency, will ensure that the Ministry of Natu~al
Resources and the local Response Co-ordinator can be kept fully
informed of the status of the flood emergency so that they can react
when called upon.
Minor changes in the rain gauge reporting system have been made
already which will facilitate and improve the relaying of rainfall
information from the readers to the appropriate Authority Staff.
Better liaison with the readers is also proposed by maintaining
closer contact by sending them a copy of the Authority.s newsletter
and more personal contact with Authority staff through site visits
and telephone.
Once the Flood Warning System has been developed it is important
that each component operates efficiently. In this regard, the
Authority proposes to operate periodically, a simulated flood alert
so that the operation can be studied and any weaknesses noted and
rectified before actually being put to a test.

RE: FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM
Page 5
Any system as complicated as the Flood Warning System with as
many different agencies and integral parts can not operate well
without practice. We are therefore planning to run flood alert
exercises throughout each year. It is hoped to run the first one
this fall and would entail only the Authority staff at this stage.
Once this level is operating effectivel~ the municipalities, police
forces, etc. would be asked to participate to test their contingency
plans and to test the co-ordination required among all the various
agencies.
.
Other recommendations will result from both the flood alert
exercises and in the overall Flood Control Plan Review and the
necessary changes will be made. However, it is hoped that the steps
outlined above will provide a more sound base for the flood warning
system and ensure that it is operating well and effectively.
RECOMMENDATION
FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: The operation of the Authority.s Flood
Warning System be given top priority; and further I Lhe staff proceed
with any steps required to have the system operate at maximum
efficiency.

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 Authority1s 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-G3 for which approval was
received in 1975
- To continue with the land acquisition component of the remedial measures
- To carry out a review of the Flood Control Plan from not only a hydrologicJhydraulic 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.
