RE: EROSION CONTROL AND BANK STABILIZATION IN METROPOLITAN TORONTO
1979 PROGRAMME -- PROGRESS REPORT, EROSION INVENTORY, CURRENT

Submitted herewith is a staff report outlining the accomplishments
to date, the erosion inventory by watershed, the current priorities
and the 1979 work programme.
RECOMMENDATION:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: The 1979 Work Programme and the Current
Priorities for Erosion Control and Bank Stabilization in Metro-

THAT the Progress Report and the Erosion Inventory be received.

EROSION CONTROL AND BANK STABILIZATION
IN METROPOLITAN TORONTO
1979 PROGRAMME
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this report is to outline the progress of Project W.C. -60,
which is designed to carry out the following:
(a) Major erosion control and bank stabilization remedial
works on a priority basis for the primary 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 re-
viewed on a regular basis. The current top priorities are reflected
in the work programme for 1979 and the "Pool of Erosion Priority
Sites" for 1980, which are found in the respective sections of this
report.
It should be noted that the present 5 -year project terminates at the end
of this year (1978). Commencing 1979, the erosion control and
bank stabilization programme for Metropolitan Toronto will be
expanded in keeping with the proposed increase in the annual budget
for this programme. The budget allocation for this programme, which is
a component within the Authority's "Interim Water and Related Land
Management Project ", has $800,000. for each of the years 1979 and
1980, and $850,000. for 1981.
The expanded programme for 1979 has enabled an increase in the minor
remedial work component, thereby providing for a strong preventative
programme. It is hoped that the preventative programme can be
bolstered even further in the years following 1979.

CURRENT PRIORITIES:
C -26
Due to the large number of sites requiring erosion control
and bank stabilization work throughout Metropolitan Toronto,
major remedial work is being undertaken on a priority basis.
The original priority ratings listed in the James F. MacLaren
report of March, 1970, are used as a starting point in assessing
the rate of progress and deterioration during the nine years
that have elapsed. Based on year -round monitoring, the severity
of tb: 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. Because erosion is a dynamic
problem, the priorities within this pool change continually as
we strive to ameliorate the list with the steady influx of
technical data on site conditions. Therefore, the following list
of "current priorities" will be reviewed regularly during 1979 in
order to accommodate any significant changes and the possible
inclusion of new sites.

Following the erosion inventory and priority studies that have
been carried out for the Regions of Peel, York and Durham, a list
of proposed remedial work sites has been prepared for each region.
It should be noted that for the Regions of York and Durham, the
technical priorities identified in the appropriate column of the
attached charts follow directly from the priorities identified in
the respective reports. In Peel, however, this was not totally
possible because of the requirement for "equalized assessment"
based on cash flow from the constituent municipalities within the
Region. In the latter case, it was therefore necessary to establish
priorities within each municipality and then schedule the sites in
descending order. Consequently, it was not possible to adhere to
relative priorities established on a regional basis.
The table below shows the budget allocation by Region for the years
1979 -1981, inclusive.
