Lunn Chairman Secretary- Treasurer A -$ SCHEDULE "A" METROPOLIT ►N TORONTO & REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY Chairman - Dr. G. Ross Lord, P.Eng. REPORT OF THE CHAIRMP.N to the 10TH ANNUAL MEETING February 4th, 1966 A -9 REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN TO THE ANNUAL MEETING February 4th, 1966 The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority THE AUTHORITY: I have stated many times the constitution, jurisdiction, and responsibility of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conserv- ation Authority, but the events of the past year have indicated that many -- including some members of the Authority -- have not a clear picture of where the Authority fits into the Metropolitan Toronto and Region picture. The Conservation Authority is definitely not a department of the Corporation of Metropolitan Toronto. It is a corporate body in itself, constituted under The Conservation Authorities Act of the Province of Ontario. Its area of jurisdiction is one thousand square miles, including the Municipality of Metro- politan Toronto, and extending far beyond it. Metropolitan Toronto is an area of 240 square miles, so that Metro comprises only 25% of the land of the N.T.R.C.A. It is well to remember this, since land is one of the major assets of an Authority. What I am stating is Metropolitan Toronto forms 91% of the people, but only 25% of the land of the M.T.R.C.A. area. It is truly a fortunate circumstance that the Conservation Authority exists to undertake measures of conservation, land acquisition, flood control, erosion control, pollution abatement, reforestation and related matters in this strategic region of Ontario. In addition to the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, there are twenty -two other municipalities sharing the work of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. All municipalities share in the financial support of the Authority in proportion to their populations. The contribution for the Current Budget is approximately 40 cents per person per year. The Authority consisted of fifty -five members during 1965. Twenty -six of these members represent Metropolitan Toronto, A -10 twenty -six represent the twenty -two outside municipalities, and three are appointed by the Lieutenant - Governor -in- Council. I have stated publicly many times that the arrangement whereby Metro Toronto appoints one -half of the municipally- appointed members, is very sound. This basis of representation was agreed upon when the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority was formed in 1957 and constituted one of those shrewd arrangements which have contributed in a large way to the progressive operation of the Authority. I am very pleased to learn that the Metropolitan Council, in its Brief to the Select Committee on Conservation Authorities, did not ask to have this basis of representation changed. FINANCES: The Provincial Government has continued its financial support on a 50/50 basis for all ordinary works of the Authority, and for the purchase of flood plain lands. For flood control dams and reservoirs, the Government of Canada enters as a partner -- supplying 37i% of the funds, the Province of Ontario also contribut- ing 372 %, and the Authority 25 %. The following Table shows in abbreviated form the distribution of Authority finances for the years 1957 to 1965, and for 1965: TABLE I EXPENDITURES FOR 1 -1 6 1 6 TOTAL Conservation Areas - Land 2,462,132. 119,474. 2,581,606.

A -11 The Authority has spent its money prudently over the years and has steadily added to its assets, chiefly in the form of land, which it now owns_in the amount of over 16,000 acres. However, a situation has arisen, which demands a drastic re- organization of our financing in connection with flood control. projects. The reasons for this and the urgency will be discussed in detail under the heading of Flood Control. LAND: Last year, in my annual report, I stated that one of the chief assets of a Conservation Authority is land. This bears re- consideration today as the metropolis continues to grow in numbers and land becomes more expensive and harder to acquire. We are, still far behind the requirements for open space in the Metropolitan Region and it becomes more and more imperative that urgent action be taken to enable the Authority to acquire the necessary lands without delay. I again remind you that there will undoubtedly be the projected four million people in the region by the year 2000. The lands assembled in 1965 are listed in Table II, and total holdings are shown in Table III.

On review- ing last years records, it is noted that this is a reduction of 72 expropriations from the total shown at December 31st, 1964.

This is a very creditable achievement but because of the forces at work in this bursting metropolis, we are permitted very little time for passing satisfaction. In previous reports, I have pointed out that the Metropolitan area is growing rapidly. In fact, it is the third fastest growing municipality on the North - American Continent. The population in the Region was 1,917,415 at the end of 1964, or approximately 10% of the population of Canada. Table IV shows an interesting record of the population growth in the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority area, Metro Toronto, the Province of Ontario, and Canada in the years 1957 to 1964.

Two main factors have contributed to the difficulty. Firstly, Metropolitan Toronto has been growing at an astonishing rate. The population increase in the area under the jurisdiction of the Authority from 1957 to 1964 has been 447,993. Thus, urban development has forced the Authority to acquire lands at an unforseen rate. Municipalities have co- opeated with the Authority in designating those lands proposed for acquisition for conservation purposes in subdivision plans under consideration. It has been found by those municipalities and the Authority that it is essential to acquire these areas immediately in order to act in good faith with the developers, who in most cases, agree to conform to the policies of the Authority and the municipalities. In addition, The Ontario Municipal Board is assuming the attitude that if restrictive zoning for conservation purposes is placed upon lands, these privately owned lands must be acquired within a short space of time by the Authority or some other public agency. The Authority designated certain key areas, such as Eglinton Flats on the Humber River, lower Don Valley and lower Highland Creek Valley, for early acquisition. This action was taken in order to co- ordinate with other municipal activities. It was felt that many economies could result from such a procedure. The basic policy of the Authority has been to acquire lands as they become available on the market. This basic policy has worked to the advantage of the Authority, but has complicated the financial picture. A great many people, knowing that their lands are planned eventually for acquisition, approach the Authority to have such lands purchased. For these reasons, the Authority has expended considerably more than was scheduled for flood plain land acquisitions and has indeed committed all of the funds avail= able under the Plan for purchase of such lands. Let me hasten to state, however, that we are not committed to purchase one acre of land which we are unable to finance. Ths matter will be A -14 discussed in connection with the Flood Control Plan. The second factor which has drawn some criticism is the matter of expropriation in connection with land acquisition. It is essential, in the public interest, that the Authority acquire certain lands if its objectives are to be achieved. In many instances, it is necessary to resort to expropriation. It is not possible to permit private ownership in flood control reservoirs as homes in flooded areas must, of necessity, be removed. The experience gained in Hurricane Hazel surely has taught us that flood plain lands must not be used for habitation and their acquisition is essential. The forces of nature have created the river and valley systems in the Metropolitan Toronto Region. Nature will dictate their use during flood periods and we have a responsibility to the community at large to ensure that nature is accommodated. That is really the nub of the problem! Conservation Authorities are given the power to expropriate and they must have this power to obtain lands. For instance, this Authority has purchaseed 800 properites for flood control and has had to expropriate 400 of these. On the other hand, we have acquired 200 properties for conservation areas and other purposes, and have expropriated only 14 of these -- many of the 14 by mutual consent. There have been a lot of statements in the press and elsewhere about our expropriations, but I defy anyone to find more than twenty cases in all, where there have been real complaints from property owners. With over one thousand separate acquisitions, comprising approxim- ately seventeen thousand acres, our record is not perfect -- BUT WHERE WILL YOU FIND A BETTER ONE! In the matter of land acquisitions, it has become obvious that there is a basic need for a continuing long -term plan. The need for conservation lands in this growing Metropolitan Area is beyond any doubt. The time for acquisition is now, and in the immediate future. Any delay will mean that lands will not be available or, available only at prohibitive cost. The lands acquired and those to be acquired under the Flood Control Plan are shown in Table V. A.-15 TABLE V ACRES TO BE AC- ACRES ACQUIR- ACRES YET TO PROJECT .UIRED TO DATE ED TO DATE BE ACQUIRED Schedule HA" (Large Dams) Schedule ttB" (Black Creek) Schedule "C" (Small Dams) 9,703 98 1,807 987 820 5,227 41 4,476 57 Schedule "D" (Flood Plain Lands) TOTALS 19,142 9,959 9,1$3 From the above Table, it can be seen that the Authority has acquired half the needed lands for flood control. Funds are urgently needed to•purchase the remaining lands as quickly as possible. In order to accomplish this, two measures are necessary: Firstly -- it is requested that the Government of Ontario raise its contribution on Flood Plain Lands from 50% to 75%; Secondly - it is urgently requested that the Government of Ontarb make available to the Authority low interest long term loans to finance the Authority?s portion of the purchase of these lands. FLOOD CONTROL.PLAN: During the coming year, at least three major construction segments of the Plan should go forward, in addition to the further, acquisition of reservoir and flood plain lands. The design of the Milne Dam has been completed and contract tenders received. The lowest tender was considerably higher than anticipated and there was a very great spread between lowest and high tenders in this project. Construction costs continue to rise at an alarming rate and there appears to ben() sign of a slow -down in this tendency. It is hoped that the govern- ment will agree to proceed with the Milne Dam after considering the investment already made in land and the commitments already made on the project. ry The Finch Dam is in the design stage and all parties A -16 are reaching agreement on the main design feature of the dam. I recently travelled to Omaha, Nebraska, to consult with U.S. Army Engineers and inspect a dam at Sioux falls, South Dakota, having the same size and proposed type of spillway of the Finch Dam. We are hopeful that this dam can be started by the fall of 1966 in order that its benefits may be available to support the provincial centennial project in the lower Don valley. The last stage of the present programme of works for the Black Creek Channel from Queens Drive to Jane Street at Rustic Road, Township of North York, has reached the tender stage and the contract is awaiting governmental approval. The York Mills Channel contract is almost ready for tender and this work should be completed in 1966. A br'.ef resume of the work accomplished to date under the Flood Control Plan is as follows: (1) The preliminary property plans have been completed for most of the major projects included in the Plan; (2) Approximately one -half of the lands have been acquired in connection with small dams and reservoirs, large dams and reservoirs and flood plain lands; (3) Preliminary engineering studies have been completed of all the works included in the Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation; (4) Preliminary engineering studies have been completed for several other flood control and water conservatin projects not included in the Plan -- for example -- Mimico Creek; (5) Final engineering studies have been completed and are in progress for several projects, such as the Milne Dam, Black Creek Channel, Finch Dam, York Mills Channel; (6) Some of the works of the Plan have been completed, principally the Claireville Dam, several stages of the Black Creek Channel, Black Creek Dam, and the Woodbridge Channel; (7) Approximately one -third of the allotted funds have been expended, although the municipal share of the funds have been A -17 committed for the duration of the Plan; (8) The construction phase of the Plan has had to be retarded due to the pressures of land acquisition; It is quite clear that the Authority will not be able to complete the Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation within the limits of time and money originally proposed. In our original proposal, we asked for a 75% contribution on flood plain lands similar to that obtained on large dams and reservoirs. In my opinion, we were correct in our original request since, in our river valleys, flood plain lands are just as much a part of the flood control system as are dams and reservoirs. However, the Government of Canada did not participate in the purchase of flood plain lands and consequently we are now urgently requesting the Government of Ontario to amend its procedure and make avail- able to us 75% of the cost of these lands. All other Authorities in Ontario having flood control schemes are making the same request and we are hoping for favourable action. In the final engineering design estimates involving site investigations and other considerations, the cost estimates have increased over the original preliminary estimates. This has combined with rising construction costs since 1958 and vastly increased land costs to raise the estimated cost of the Plan considerably. Construction costs alone, have risen at least 30% since 1958. Recent contract tenders have lead me to the conclusion that the above stated increase is much too low. In order to permit us to complete the Plan with sufficient finances, your Authority has asked the Province: (a) to make available long -term loans at low interest to finance the purchase of lands and tYeconstruction of dams; , (b) to accelerate the purchase of flood plain lands by raising its contribution from _ 50% to 75% of the cost; (c) to make a 75% contribution to the cost of construction of small conservation reservoirs; (d) to re- negotiate the Agreement between the Government of A -1$ :Ontario and the Government of Canada for the M.T.R.C.A. Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation to allow for increased costs of works included in the original Plan and the inclusion of an escalator clause to allow for increases in construction costs for future works, and to include the construction of additional works for which preliminary engineering has been completed and which were not included in the original Plan; It will also be necessary for your Authority to obtain additional funds from the member municipalities over an extended period of time. We are hopeful that the achievement of all of these objectives will result in progressive action to complete the Flood Control Plan within ten to twelve years. THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES: A Select Committe on Conservation Authorities was constituted by the Government of Ontario in 1965. This Committee, consisting of thirteen members of the legislature, began its investigations soon after the end of the legislative session last spring. It spent three days touring the M.T.R.C.A. and investigating the works and operating procedures of our Authority. The Committee then spent several weeks touring Authorities in various parts of the Province. The Select Committee began hearing Briefs in November, 1965, and your Chairman presented the comprehensive Brief adopted at the last meeting of the Authority, held on November 19th, 1965. In the letter of transmittal to the Select Committee, I stated: ”We are pleased to submit herewith the Brief of The Metro- politan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. This Authority has welcomed the opportunity to place before you a record of its achievements, its current activities and its future plans and problems. In the Brief will be found many requests for assistance, A -19 for which we do not apologize. With a present population of two million within the Region (a growth .of 44$,000 since 1957) and a projected four million by the year 2000, there is a demanding urgency in our task." In our Brief we gave a short resume of our history, our achievements and our plans. We made a strong plea for increased financial assistance, as well as other measures, which would further the works of conservation. Many of the other Authorities have submitted Briefs as well as the Committee of Chairmen of the Conservation Authorities. Several Briefs were submitted in Toronto, some of which were critical in varying degrees of the M.T.R.C.A. Your Authority will be given an opportunity to make reply to these Briefs when hearings of the Select Committee are resumed. The Select Committee has afforded your Authority an opportunity to outline its long -term plans and objectives and to acquaint the Committee with the areas where further financial and other a e.stance is needed to accomplish the desired objectives. The Government of the Province of Ontario is to be commended for the appointment of the Select Committee on Conserv- ation Authorities. ADMINISTRATION OF THE AUTHORITY: The policy- making body of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is the Authority itself. The fifty -five members have an opportunity, at five or six meetings per year, to review and discuss the problems and plans of the organization. The average attendance at Authority meetings is encouragingly high -- being from forty to forty -eight members. In my sincere view, it is the job of the Authority to set broad principles and policies, investigate plans and proposals and lead in forward thinking with regard to the future destiny of the Authority and its works. We have sometimes lost sight of these grand objectives and tended to become bogged down in details but, in general, as Chairman, I have found the composite thinking of our membership to be open- minded, broad in scope, and shrewd A -20 in its conclusions. If we are to lift this great organization forward, this type of dedicated thinking must prevail. Certainly we are far from perfect; most assuredly we have made mistakes. There are many things to criticize and perhaps complain about. But the achievements of this Authority in nine short years have, in my opinion, been tremendous. In spite of some criticisms within and without our organization, I feel that the most of our members and the public, believe in what we are doing; have a quiet satisfaction in our accomplishments and support our future objectives: The Executive Committee of the Authority is the day to day working body which carries out the detailed work along the policy lines laid down by the Authority. A great many of tha jobs of the Executive Committee are ordinary indeed -- approving accounts for payment, letting tenders on approved works, advising the staff on operation procedures, assisting in the hiring of new staff, and so on. The Executive Committee is, of course, elected by the whole Authority, with the exception of the Chairman. Minutes of the Authority and Executive, coupled with the Minutes of Advisory Board Meetings, comprise an annual volume of some 650 pages -- truly a vast amount of records. In addition to the Executive Committee, there are, as you know, nine Advisory Boards and each member of the Authority belongs to at least two of these nine Boards. Each Board meets usually two or more times each year. There is thus an excellent opportunity for every member of the Authority to become adequately informed regarding many phases of the Authority business. In the past year there were five meetings of the Authority, 24 Executive Committee meetings, and 35 meetings of Advisory Boards and Committees. The Authority has a tremendous job to do in this vital and expanding region of Canada. If we are to accomplish our objectives, the demands upon us individually will require a dedication, generosity of outlook and steadfastness of purpose which, I am glad to say, most conservationists possess. We must realize that Eoand conservation practices in any sector of A -21 our Area will benefit city and rural people, east and west, and that the whole one thousand square miles is a unit and will become more so as the years go by. Often when we attempt to advance a cause like conserv- ation, we seem to meet opposition and I am reminded that there has always been opposition to overcome -- even as far back as 1492. You may recall that Christopher Columbus made a vain appeal for support to the Senate of his native State of Genoa, before he went before the Queen of Spain with his revolutionary idea of sail- ing west to reach China. The Senate in Genoa, knowing little of such things, made a truly 1965 response to Columbus, proposal -- they appointed a committee to study the idea. The committee, of course, wrote a report which recently came to light in a monastery library in south - eastern Spain. What a report it was! It ran to 964 pages. The committee then sent Columbus a letter summarizing its conclusions. After suggesting several further studies and discouraging the westward voyage, the committees letter ended as follows: "We feel that you will be quite pleased with the output of this progressive, forward - looking committee of profound scholars. Incidentally, there was one additional member of the committee, a rather rash and impetuous young engineer, lately of Florence, who was sent in place of the ailing Dr. Taglatti of the University of Milan. Though he came highly recommended, he showed his immaturity and poor judgment by advocating that the voyage itself be initiated immediately. Investigation proved him to be quite eccentric (he talks of flying machines and fancies himself an artist), and he was therefore dismissed from the committee. He is the son of a Florentine notary and, in case you desire to contact him, his name is Leonardo da Vinci." My wish for this Authority is that we have more of the thinking of this "rash and impetuous young engineer" from Florence, and very little of that + tprogressive forward - looking committee" of the Senate of Genoa.

A -62 RE: Watercourses Under Authority Jurisdiction - 4 (4) PLAN FOR FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION: The Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation made provision for the acquisition of approximately 7,600 acres of flood plain land. In accordance with procedures established by the Province of- Ontario, the Authority adopted a Master Plan for Flood Plain and Conservation Lands at Meeting #1 held on February 9th, 1962. The Plan was submitted to the Province of Ontario for approval in principle, and this has been the basis of the Authority?s flood plain land acquisitions. The follow- ing is a summary by watershed of lands included in this Master Plan: Etohicoke Creek: - Main Branch of the Etobicoke Creek from the mouth to No. 7 Highway By -pass north of the Town of Brampton; - East Branch from the confluence of the Main Branch to Derry Road East; Mimico Creek: From the mouth to the Derry Road East; Humber River: - The Main Branch from the mouth to Highway No. 7; The West Branch from the confluence of the Main Branch to the Claireville Reservoir; Don River: - From Bloor Street to the forks - The East Branch from the forks Finch Dam and Reservoir; - Wilket Creek from the West Don - Massey Creek from the forks of Warden Avenue; - The East Branch of the Don from Willowdale Dam and Reservoir; of the Don; of the Don to the High to Lawrence Avenue; the Don to St. Clair and the forks of the Don to the Rouge River: - The Main Branch from the mouth to Steeles Avenue; - The Little Rouge River from the confluence with the to John Street (Steeles Avenue); Duffin Creek: - The Main Branch from two Branches; Highland Creek: Main Branch the mouth to the confluence of the other - The Main Branch from the mouth to the confluence of the other two Branches;' - The South Branch from the confluence of the Main Branch to Markham Road; - The North Branch from the confluence of the Main Branch to Ellsemere Road east to Markham Road; - The small tributary joining the North Branch, north to the Lansing Road; (5) PLANNING: It has been the policy of the Department of Municipal Affairs, the Metropolitan Toronto Planning Board, and The Ontario Municipal Board (re restricted area by -laws only), to refer official plans, sub - division A -63 RE: Watercourses under Authority Jurisdiction - 5 - plans, and restricted area by -laws to the Authority for comment on drainage in all areas where major rivers and tributaries are involved. The Authority has co- operated extensively with municipalities and planning boards in the region in providing data for flood plain zoning -- e.g. - restricted area by -law, Township of Vaughan -- all of the major drainage courses and major tributaries of the Don and Humber Rivers in the Township of Vaughan are designated as flood plain zones and the basic data for this zoning has been provided by the Authority. (6) POLLUTION CONTROL AND WATER SUPPLY: The Ontario Water Resources Commission, by legislation, has responsibil- ity for pollution control and for the regulation of water supply in the Province of Ontario. In this connection, the Authority has co- operated with the O.W.R.C. in a sampling programme of the major rivers and tributaries and receives all reports prepared by them on conditions or rivers in the area under the jurisdiction of the Authority. The Authority provides information to the O.W.R.C. on sources of pollution determined from the regular aerial patrol. In general, the O.W.R.C. also submits for consideration of the Authority, information on applications for permits for the extraction of water from the major drainage courses and their tributaries. (7) CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS: The Authority has been persuing a programme of major channel improve- ments under the Plan for Flood Control, and these improvements have been constructed on lands owned by the Authority or lands acquired by a municipal corporation. Major improvements have not been undertaken on privately owned lands. The Authority, in co- operation with the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, has been undertaking a yearly programme of erosion control and channel improvements. Such improvements have been limited to lands owned by the Authority or the Metropolitan Corporation. During the past two years, the Authority has been carrying out stream improvements and erosion control measures on a demonstration basis on provately owned lands in headwater areas, through agreement with the owners. (8) CONCLUSION: By legislation, the Authority has jurisdiction in all manners provided for in the Conservation Authorities Act. The jurisdiction with respect to regulations, acquisition of flood plain land, construction of river channel improvements, and erosion control measures, has been established as Authority policy by the full Authority. With respect to planning, pollution control, and water supply, the Authority's participation has been as the result of co- operation by municipalities, planning boards, the Ontario Municipal Board, and the Ontario Water Resources Commission. /K K.

The Executive Committee give consideration to the matter of securing improved co- operation from municipalities and their planning boards in achieving proper zoning of flood plain lands and the acquisition of these flood plain lands on some basis whereby the municipalities will further assist the Authority in obtaining said lands; Refer to the Staff for a report; In order to adequately cover the information requested in the above resolution, the Staff has deemed it desirable to review the whole field of Authority involvement in the matter of the approval of subdivisions, zoning by -laws and official plans, to present a summary of present procedures and their effect- iveness and, finally, to make certain specific recommendations. I. HISTORY: At the time of the formation of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, it was the practice of the Community Planning Branch (formerly of Department of Planning and Development, now Municipal Affairs) to submit drafts of Official Plans, Zoning By -Laws and Subdivisions to the Con- servation Branch of the Department of Planning and Develop- ment for consideration and comment. The Branch in turn forwarded these documents to the Field Officer assigned to the Authority to which the documents were applicable. The Field Officer was directed to prepare a report for the Conservation Branch concerning the vulnerability of the subject area to flooding or erosion and its relationship, if any, to proposed plans of the Authority. Initially, very little consideration was given by the Community Planning Branch to the Field Officer's report; in fact, at the outset the full report was seldom, if ever, passed on. Gradually, more weight was given to these Field Officers' reports until ultimately the Community Planning Branch would not make a final recommendation to approve or disapprove a specific application without first having re- ceived a reply from the Conservation Branch. By January of 1964, there was no longer a Field Officer of the Conservation Branch assigned to this Authority, and it was the decision of the Conservation Branch to forward these documents directly to the Staff of the Authority for report. The comments of our Staff were then forwarded by the Con- servation Branch to the Community Planning Branch. Over the same period of time, other agencies and individuals came to recognize the interest of the Authority in many of the proposals related to planning in the area and, as a result, requests for comments from the Staff of the Authority began to arrive in ever- increasing numbers from various Municipal Planning Departments, various Works Departments and, in many cases, from prospective developers. In most cases, replies were forwarded in connection with A -65 Zoning -- coast :d these requests identical to the reports being forwarded to the Conservation Branch. Because of some confusion and time delays in processing replies through the various agencies, the Department of Municipal Affairs has now decided to forward proposed subdivision plans directly to the Authority for comment, and negotiations are under way to have the same procedure followed with regard to Official Plans and Zoning By -Laws. When the staff first became involved in considering such applications, any adverse comments resulted in an application being refused, and ultimately the prospective developer found it necessary to go through the time - consuming process of making a revised submission of a proposal. A situation has now evolved that in a large percentage of proposed developments, the applicant actually approaches the staff for our comments prior to making a formal submission for approval. This has added steadily to the work load of the staff, but has certainly done much to remove the time - consuming delays which were formerly experienced by developers, and, in many cases, preliminary discussions have resolved questions which made it unnecessary to go through the process of formal opposition and Municipal Board hearings. As was pointed out, the staff at first commented only on the vulnerability of an area to flooding or erosion and its relationship to proposed projects of the Authority. In 1963, the Authority adopted a Statement of Policy con- cerning Pollution Control and Recreation in the Metropolitan Toronto Region and, as a result, the staff now review these documents with a view to whether or not the proposal would be consistent with the Authority's policy statement. II. PRESENT STATUS: The volume of work involved in the examination of Official Plans, Zoning By -Laws and Subdivisions has reached the point where the Authority now employs a full -time Development Co- ordinator to process the study of these applications. In addition, the Technical Assistant for Flood Control and Water Conservation also participates through site visits and technical examination of applications. At the present time, the staff is processing approximately 35 documents per week. The location of these applications is first plotted by the draftsman to determine whether or not it is in an area of direct interest. Subsequently, a site visit is made and finally a report prepared by the Development Co- ordinator. Many of these documents are found immediately to be of no possible interest to the Authority. However, a large percentage still do require further attention. Even after the report of the Development Co- ordinator has been sent out, the file cannot be closed as the final approval of the specific application may embody conditions involving Authority concurrence which will require subsequent inspections, and these may be necessary for as long as three years after the initial report has been finalized. This involvement of the Authority staff in the municipal planning process has gone a long way toward meeting the objectives of the Authority with regard to preservation of flood plain and conservation lands. With few exceptions, most lands of this category are now protected to a greater or lesser extent by present municipal by -laws, and these regulatory powers are being continually strengthened. Certain problems remain, but these are steadily being overcome as co- ordination between our staff and the appropriate municipal agencies is strengthened. Zoning control, however, is only a temporary expedient, at best, and the Authority must face the next problem of acquisition of those lands deemed to be essential to its programme for Flood Control and Water Conservation. Here again, the Authority has received a high degree of co- operation from its constitu':Jt municipalities. A -66 Zoning - cont'd From time to time, many of the municipalities have come into possession of flood plain and valley lands, which, being surplus to their municipal requirements, have been conveyed to the Authority for a nominal sum. Since the Authority was establ;.shed, the member municipalities have conveyed or agreed to convey approximately 1,000 acres of land in this manner, and it is anticipated that additional lands will still be committed. When the Authority has found it necessary to acquire privately owned lands, there have been instances where the careful co- ordination of the requirements of the member municipalities with those of the Authority have resulted in a considerable saving of funds. This form of co- ordination has also been of considerable benefit in dealing with other public agencies such as Ontario Hydro. It has become apparent to the staff that, although the co- operative spirit is growing in relation to planning matters, there is an increasing reluctance on the part of municipalities to involve themselves too directly in the Authority's problems of acquisition from private owners. Prior to the establishment of the Authority, many municipalities made a practice of accepting flood plain and valley lands as a part of or in lieu of the required 5% dedication required for registration of plans of subdivision. Many lands acquired in this way have subsequently been conveyed to the Authority. In general, it is not the practice today for municipalities to accept such lands, as often they are either not properly situated or are not readily adaptable for development for much - needed neighbourhood type park facilities. It is understandable that the municipalities give consideration first to their own local needs and second to the Authority's area -wide requirements for land acquisition. In summary, it would appear that a high degree of co- operation exists with the municipalities with regard to zoning and acquisition of flood - vulnerable lands. It must be remembered that each agency has assumed its own responsibilities and co- operation cannot extend beyond the limits of those responsibilities. The ultimate answer to satisfying the requirements of the Authority's adopted programme will be to find the additional funds necessary to comp: :ce its implementation. III. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That the staff continue to increase its efforts in the matter of co- operation with municipalities with regard to planning and zoning to ensure the protection of flood plain lands. 2. That the Authority continue its present efforts to co- operate with municipalities in the acquisition of flood plain land. 3. That every effort be made to obtain additional funds from senior levels of government to enable the completion of the Flood Plain and Valley Land Acquisition Programme of the Authority.

SCHEME W.C. -41 -- A SCHEME FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE STOUFFVILLE WATER CONSERVATION DAM AND RESERVOIR: Scheme W.C. -41 -- Stouffville Dam and Reservoir -- which had been adopted in principle, was presented with the recommendation that it now be proceeded with on the following basis: CARRIED; I. Staty}tory References: The Conservation Authorities Act, 1960 c.62 as amended, but more specifically the following sections: (a) Section 16: Before procedding with a scheme which is to be financed by A -72 - 6 - funds raised and spent by the Authority during the current year, the Authority shall file plans and a description thereof with, and obtain the approval in writing of, the Minister, and where any portion of the cost of a scheme is to be raised in a subsequent year or years, shall also obtain the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board; (b) Section 17 (not applicable) (c) Section 42: Grants may be made to any Authority out of moneys appropriated therefor by the Legislature, by the Lieutenant - Governor in Council and by the Minister, provided that grants made to an Authority by the Minister in any year for any one purpose shall not exceed $10,000. II. Details of Scheme: (a) Location & Description: Stouffville, a village of approximately 3,000 people, is located on the west branch of the Duffin Creek, approximately 19 miles north -east of Toronto. Frequently, in the past, the Creek has overflowed its banks and caused flooding, especially in the section of the village between Main Street and the sewage treat- ment plant at the south limit. In 1960, at the request of the Village of Stouffville and with the approval of the Province of Ontario, the Authority engaged the services of R. K. Kilborn & Associates, Consulting Engineers, to carry out a study of flood protection for the Village. The Kilborn Report, dated February 16, 1961, recommended a combination of measures including acquisition of flood plain lands, construct- ion of a flood control channel through a portion of the municipal- ity, and the construction of an upstream dam and reservoir. The proposed Stouffville Water Conservation Dam and Reservoir is to be located in the headwater area of the west branch of the Duffin Creek immediately upstream of the Village of Stouffville. More specifically, the dam and reservoir will occupy approximately sixty acres, being a part of Lots 2 and 3, Concession IX, Township of Whitchurch. The recommended structure would be a small, earth fill dam approx- imately fifteen feet high and seven hundred feet long. Provision is to be made for a low level discharge through the bottom of the dam to permit the passage of low flows. The reservoir would have storage capacity of $0 acre feet and would enable the reduction of maximum flows through the Village from an estimated 1,700 cubic feet per second under project flood conditions to approximately 1,200 c.f.s., or a reduction of about 30%. (b) Purpose of Scheme: The purpose of this scheme is to permit the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to undertake the construction of the Stouffville Water Conservation Dam and Reservoir to provide flood protection for the Village of Stouffville, and the provide a more uniform stream flow in this section of the Duffin Creek. (c) Costs: Land Acquisition $ 75,000. Final Engineering & Const. 55,000. Survey, Appraisal, Legal Costs 12,500. Interest 7.500. TOTAL $150,000. 7 (d) Financing: A -73 1. The Authority proposes to raise the money required for the scheme in the year 1966 on the following basis: ' Authority Share Government of Ontario Grant TOTAL $ 37.500. 112,500. ' $ 150,000. 2. The Authority proposes to raise its share of the lost of the scheme by a per capita levy with all member municipalities being declared benefitting. Res. #50 ' Moved By:- Seconded By:- R. G.

INTRODUCTION: At Meeting #2/66 of the Authority, held on February 18th, 1966, the following Resolution was adopted: Res. #31: THAT the Executive Committee be requested to present at the next Meeting of the Authority, a Report on the present status of the Flood Control Plan and what may reasonably be expected to be completed in the 10 -year period on the basis of present financing; In accorance with these instructions, the Staff respect- fully submits a 5 -Year Progress Report on the Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation, which outlines, in table form, the progress to date on the works included in the Plan -- including engineering, land acquisition and construction. The Report outlines the expend- itures to date and projected works that can be undertaken under the present financial arrangement during the period 1966- 1WO. Note: The figures represented in the following tables are to be considered as reasonable estimates based on present -day conditions. It will be observed that the total expenditures projected 1966 to 1970 do not precisely coincide with the funds which remain available in the over -all Flood Control Plan. It is anticipated, however, that any additional funds available will be spent within this period primarily for the acquisition of land and it is not possible at this time to designate specifically those projects on which it will be spent as factors vary from day to day, particularly with reference to Ontario Municipal Board hearings.

On the basis of existing approved financial participation by the municipalities, there is a deficiency of $3,776,340. of municipal monies in order to expend the originally approved Plan, and grants amounting to a total of $3$,900,000. The raising of this additional money could be accomplished by an extension of the Plan beyond the 10 -year period (which terminates in 1970), or could be accomplished by levying the additional monies during a 5 -year period, commencing in 1967. The following additional municipal levy would be required to raise the outstanding monies over the ensuing 5 -year period: 1967 $ 755,26$. 1968 $ 755,26$. 1969 $ 755,26$. 1970 $ 755,268. 1971 $ 755,268. The estimated cost to complete the original Plan amounts to an additional $196,631,400. of Government grants; and $6,702,660. of Authority costs. In addition, the estimated costs of proposed works not included in the Flood Control Plan, but for which the Authority has preliminary engineering plans, now amounts to $4,775,000. At the present time, the Provincial and Federal Governments are reviewing policies with respect to agreements and financing for Flood Control and Water Conservation Programmes. The Select Committee on Conservation Authorities is likewise reviewing programmes and policies and will be reporting to the Ontario Legislature probably prior to the 1967 Session. It would therefore not be advisable for the Authority to attempt to re- negotiate the Agreement for Flood Control & Water Conservation pending any new policy decisions which may be made by the Senior Governments. It is anticipated that these matters will be clarified before the end of 1967. IV. RECOMMENDATIONS: (1) (2) A -83 That the 5 -Year Progress Report be suitably reproduced, together with illustrations and maps, and that a Committee consisting of the Chairman of the Authority, the Chairman of the Flood Control and Water Conserv- ation Advisory Board, and the Director and Assistant Director of Operations of the Authority be appointed to present the Report to the member municipalitees of the Authority; That consideration be given, in consultation with the member municipalities, to raising the additional share of the funds required under the "Agreement Between the Province of Ontario and The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority for Construction of Dams, Reservoirs and Channel Improvements in the Metropolitan Toronto Region, June 14, 1961 ", in the amount of $3,776,400. over a period of five years, commencing in 1967; fl'9etropo/itan .JansEo and /eion emservation Jagority MINUTES A-84.
