CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. At Authority Meeting #11/04, Resolution #A260/05 approved the acquisition of 509 Park Crescent / 520 Marksbury Road property (former Zid property) and directed staff to pursue the sale of a portion of the Zid property in order to fund all or a portion of the outstanding balance of the purchase price not covered by the City of Pickering's $200,000. contribution. During the process of identifying a potential lot, it was found that the existing sanitary sewer owned by the Regional Municipality of Durham was located on the Zid property without the benefit of an easement. The location of this sewer severely impacted the potential to create a viable lot. The region has agreed to relocate the servicing in return for registering easements in their favour. A report regarding granting of the easement to Durham Region to recognize their servicing and a report on the proposed lot being created will be brought forward to the Executive Committee at the appropriate time. 22 In the fall of 2005, the City of Pickering notified TRCA they were proposing to surplus and dispose of a parcel of land municipally known as 523 Park Crescent, legally described as all Lot 39 and Part Lot 38, Registered Plan 270 and further described as Parts 8, 9 and 10 on Reference Plan 40R- 23867. TRCA requested the city retain a portion of the parcel they were proposing to surplus and transfer it to TRCA as it was required for the proposed relocation of existing servicing owned by the Regional Municipality of Durham. Negotiations have been conducted with the City of Pickering. The Director, Watershed Management has reviewed the proposal and is in concurrence with the purchase of this property. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The acquisition of the subject property is required for servicing and should remain in public ownership. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE On December 10, 2004, the Ontario government announced a regulation that expands the environmental criteria for lands that are eligible to receive a property tax exemption. Based on a preliminary review of the new criteria, it would appear that the majority of these lands will be eligible for the 2007 taxation year.

Moved by: Rob Ford Seconded by: David Barrow WHEREAS the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of a request from the City of Vaughan to enter into an exchange of lands to resolve an encroachment; WHEREAS it is in the opinion of TRCA that it is the best interest of TRCA in furthering its objectives, as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act, to proceed with an exchange in this instance; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT TRCA enter into an exchange of lands on the following basis: (a) City of Vaughan will convey to TRCA a parcel of land containing 0.2913 hectares (0.7198 acres), more or less being Part of Block 54 on Registered Plan 65M -2928, being Part 3 on proposed Referenced Plan prepared by Holding Jones Vanderveen Inc. under Job No. 05- 1687 -REF1; (b) TRCA will convey to the City of Vaughan a parcel of land containing 0.054 hectares (0.719 acres), more or Tess being Part of Block 42 on Registered Plan 65M -2928, being Part 2 on proposed Referenced Plan prepared by Holding Jones Vanderveen Inc. under Job No. 05- 1687 -REF1; (c) Metrus Development Inc. to pay all legal and survey costs; (d) That the sale be subject to approval of the Minister of Natural Resources in accordance with Section 21(2) f the Conservation Authorities Act C.27 as amended; AND FURTHER THAT appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give affect thereto, including the obtaining of any necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND Metrus Development Inc. is working closely with the City of Vaughan and TRCA to complete the process whereby the city will assume the Kerrowood Residential Subdivision, 65M -2928. Through this process it was determined that a portion of a stormwater management pond was built on TRCA lands. 32 Mr. Peter Murphy of Metrus Development Inc. has approached staff to attempt to resolve this encroachment issue. Staff feel that the best method to resolve this problem is with a land exchange with the City of Vaughan as the city will ultimately own the parcel of land where the stormwater management pond is built. City of Vaughan officials are in support of the solution and have written TRCA requesting we proceed with the land exchange.. The subject property is a small portion of a property acquired from Investments Ltd. on June 19, 2002 under the Land Acquisition Project 1987 -1991. - A map illustrating the location of the subject property is appended.

To report on the process and outcome of the pre - qualification process for general contractors to tender for the Restoration Services Centre. Rob Ford David Barrow THAT staff be directed to bring forward a complete report regarding the tender opening results and recommendation for award of contract to Authority Meeting #2/06, to be held on March 24, 2006, for approval. CARRIED BACKGROUND In accordance with Authority Resolution #A308/04 approved at Authority Meeting #10/04, held on November 26, 2004, staff were directed to engage Montgomery Sisam Architects Inc. (MSA) to undertake the design and tendering for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified Restoration Services Centre at the Boyd North property - in close proximity to the Boyd Office. The proposed Restoration Services Centre is the facility that will address long standing deficiencies related to the administration and operation of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) Indigenous Plant Propagation Program (Nursery) and the staging and implementation of resource management projects. The new facility will also provide much needed office space to house staff from the Parks and Culture and Restoration Services divisions. A brief project description follows: The Restoration Services Centre building has been designed to meet LEED Gold standard. Construction materials, methods and practices will be required to meet this standard. The building is to be constructed on lands owned and operated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (Boyd Office in Vaughan, Ontario). The site work includes: earthwork, an on -site stormwater management system, including the enlargement of an existing retention pond, a foundation drainage system, a septic system and a horizontal ground source heat pump heat exchanger field. Underground services include: a potable and non - potable water service, fresh air duct, natural gas service, electricity, telephone and cable. Site finishing work includes: the placement and finish grading of recycled gravel in parking areas and on the entrance road, and concrete work including curbs and walks. A status report on the progress of the MSA led LEED design process was brought to the Business Excellence Advisory Board Meeting #3/05, on June 10, 2005. Over the past year, staff have worked closely with MSA to prepare and refine the design and construction drawings required to move forward with the tendering and building permit approval processes. As part of this process, TRCA, in conjunction with MSA undertook an exercise to pre - qualify general contractors in advance of the public tender process which included the following steps: 35 1. Preparation of pre - qualification conditions and submission evaluation methodology. 2. Advertizement of the pre - qualification call in the Daily Commercial News (published on three dates - December 7, 9 and 12, 2005). 3. Registration of interested contractors for a mandatory pre - qualification meeting. 4. Attendance at a mandatory pre - qualification meeting on January 12, 2006 at the Boyd Office. 5. Receipt of pre - qualification submissions from registered general contractors - deadline for submission was January 19, 2006. 6. Evaluation and approval of ten (10) general contractors for issuance of tender documents and drawings (RSD 06 -01) on February 02, 2006. At the January 12, 2006, mandatory pre - qualification meeting 42 companies attended' to express interest in the project. MSA and other project team members from Enermodal Engineering outlined the project schedule, answered questions related to design, construction methodologies and materials, and discussed the LEED requirements related to the contract documentation component of the project. From this group of contractors, TRCA received a total of 32 submissions for pre - qualification which were evaluated on the basis of five major categories: • completeness of submission in accordance with conditions provided; • work experience; • project record; • project control; and, • references. Each proposal was evaluated and ranked on a "points awarded" basis, with the resulting spread of point values being between 179 (high) and 71 (low). The top ten submissions ranked between 179 and 156. On the basis of the evaluation process, TRCA has pre - qualified ten (10) general contractors, each of which has confirmed their intention to bid this project, as follows: 1. Rutherford Contracting Ltd. (Gormley, ON). 2. Kemp Construction Ltd. (Hamilton, ON). 3. Aveiro Constructors Ltd. (Dorchester, ON). 4. Jasper Construction Corp. (Concord, ON). 5. Harbridge + Cross Ltd. (Concord, ON). 6. Maple Reinders Constructors Ltd. (Mississauga, ON). 7. Spectre Construction & Management Inc. (Toronto, ON). 8. Derbtile Construction Inc. (Downsview, ON). 9. Percon Construction Inc. (Mississauga, ON). 10. Compass Construction Resources Ltd. (Toronto, ON). Tender documents and drawings were distributed to these ten general contractors on February 2, 2006. The tender will close at 4:00 pm on Thursday, March 2, 2006, with a public opening scheduled for 8:30 am on Friday, March 3, 2006 at TRCA's Head Office, after which the tender bids will be referred to staff and MSA for review and detailed evaluation. 36 A full report and the results of the tender bids, complete with recommendation to award the tender, will be brought forward to Authority Meeting #2/06, to be held on March 24, 2006. Report prepared by: Dave Rogalsky, extension 5378 For Information contact: Nick Saccone, extension 5301 Date: February 1, 2006 RES.#B14/06 - Moved by: Seconded by: TORONTO DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD LANDS Wanita Road School Site, CFN 36039. Surplus Toronto District School Board property located on the south side of Wanita Road, east of Meadowvale Road, City of Toronto (Scarborough Community Council Area). Rob Ford David Barrow THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS the City of Toronto is proposing to purchase a property located on the south side of Wanita Road, City of Toronto (Scarborough Community Council Area) from the Toronto District School Board (TDSB); AND WHEREAS the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) has identified a potential opportunity to renaturalize the TDSB property to expand the natut`aI heritage system and increase the tree canopy in the City of Toronto thereby maintaining and enhancing passive stormwater management attributes of the property (i.e. infiltration); THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the TRCA contribute up to $500,000 to the purchase of this property from the Land Acquisition for Source Water Protection Reserve provided by the City of Toronto; THAT staff be directed to work with City of Toronto staff to develop a master plan for the TDSB property which should include renaturalization of as much of the site as feasible; THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the execution of any documents; AND FURTHER THAT the City of Toronto be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #12/04, held on January 28, 2004, Resolution #A365/04 was approved as follows: 37 WHEREAS the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) property located on the south side of Wanita Road, City of Toronto (Scarborough Community Council Area) has been declared surplus to the TDSB's educational needs and TDSB is in the process of disposing of the property; WHEREAS TRCA has previously determined that the surplus TDSB property is not affected directly by any existing Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) policies; AND WHEREAS TRCA has identified a potential opportunity to renaturalize the TDSB property to expand the natural heritage system and increase the tree canopy in the City of Toronto thereby maintaining and enhancing passive storm water management attributes of the property (i.e. infiltration); THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the TRCA supports retaining the TDSB property in public ownership; THAT if the site is retained in public ownership, TRCA staff be directed to work with the City of Toronto staff to develop a renaturalization plan for the TDSB property; AND FURTHER THAT the City of Toronto and the TDSB be so advised. The Wanita Road School site is owned by the Toronto District School Board and is approximately 8.10 acres in size. The site is located northeast of the Meadowvale Road /Lawrence Avenue East intersection in the Scarborough Community Council Area of the City of Toronto and is in the headwaters of a tributary of Centennial_Creek. The site is primarily grass and maintained by TDSB with some forest cover of planted red pine windrows and several orchard trees remaining from the original farm. The northeast corner of the site contains some vegetation associated with a valley corridor east of the site. This corridor is a tributary of Centennial Creek, owned by the City of Toronto and was piped at some time in the past. The city also owns Wanita Park which is located southwest of the site. The Wanita Road school site was acquired in 1956 by the former Scarborough Board of Education. This vacant site provided the former Scarborough board with the option to construct a new Junior Public School if required to accommodate students from the local community. In February of 2002, TDSB retained a consultant to prepare a demographic study of the area for the period of 1991 to 2021. The demographic study concluded that there is no Tong -term need for a school at this site. Therefore, on December 2, 2002, TDSB declared the site surplus to their educational needs. TDSB circulated the City of Toronto in July, 2003 to determine if there was any city interest in acquiring the site. The city's Real Estate Department forwarded this information to the city's agencies, boards, commissions and departments. TRCA was included in this circulation and staff advised the city that the property was not affected by any TRCA policies, however the northeast corner of the school site was within the limits of the city's Ravine Protection By -Law. It is staffs understanding that there was no other interest in the site and TRCA's comments were forwarded to TDSB. 38 RATIONALE This site which is adjacent to the valley system represents a renaturalization opportunity and in so doing expands the natural heritage system and assist in achieving the city's newly adopted targets for 30% to 40% tree canopy. This would in turn assist in a small way to attenuate run off. This site, along with the city's stream' corridor lands to the east and Wanita Park to the west, provides a natural connection between the Centennial Creek valley and Colonel Danforth Park in the Highland Creek valley. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS At its meeting held on September 28, 29 and 30, 2005, City Council approved increasing TRCA's Capital budget by $1.9 million ($2 million less $100,000 committed by City Council to special studies) fully funded from the Land Acquisition for Source Water Protection Reserve, to acquire properties on the headwaters and in the valley systems of Toronto's watershed. To date $1,437,375 has been committed for land acquisition leaving $462,625 remaining from the $1.9 million. To provide the $500,000 contribution to the Wanita Road property it will be necessary to use a portion of the 2006 allocation which TRCA anticipates City Council will approve as part of the 2006 budget process. TRCA's commitment is limited to the funds available in the reserve. If 2006 funding is unavailable, the total available will be $462,625.

There also will be a tunnel crossing of the German Mills Creek in the eastern area. Between Yonge Street and Bayview Avenue there is a Regional Storm Floodplain associated with German Mills Creek._ This tributary section is within a Fill Extension Area only and not a Fill Regulated Area, however, the feature does have defined beds and banks and is classified as a watercourse. The watermain project was reviewed by TRCA staff during the Environmental Assessment process in Central File Number 35250. Control of Flooding: The existing grades throughout the Regional Storm Floodplain will be maintained with this watermain project, therefore, the control of flooding will not be implicated. Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (silt fence, pea gravel bag coffer dam, pump, rock check dams) will be implemented to ensure that the construction - generated sediments do not enter the watercourse. Conservation of Land: The tributary of the German Mills Creek will be altered temporarily to install the watermain in the dry with a dam and pump method during the open cut crossing. With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated. A Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The German Mills Creek proper will be crossed via a tunnel method. With the tunnel crossing there will be no in stream work, therefore there will be no concerns related to fish habitat loss. Both the tunnel works and the open cut works will be conducted during the coldwater timing window to avoid implications to fish habitat in the event of a tunnel failure. Contingency plans have been included on the drawings as well. An open cut method will be used on either side of the German Mills Creek. The proposed works will impact no significant terrestrial resource features. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with native /non- invasive species following construction. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing- of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This proposal consists of the open cut construction of a portion of the YDSS Interceptor Sewer along Leslie Street at two crossings of the Rouge River south of 19th Avenue. The first crossing is a permanently flowing tributary of the Rouge River, while the second is an intermittent watercourse that reaches a confluence with the permanent tributary shortly downstream of the proposed works. The construction of the Interceptor Sewer project has been separated into two phases. The first phase consists of the open cut portion of Leslie Street as covered under this permit. The second phase consists of the tunneled construction along 19th Avenue from Yonge Street to Leslie Street, and a small portion of the open cut construction along Leslie Street. The construction of the second phase will require two separate permits, one for the dewatering discharge locations associated with the sewer installation, and the second for the construction of Shaft 3 west of Bayview Avenue. An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared for the proposed dewatering. The EMP is currently under review by TRCA staff in conjunction with DFO and MNR. The three permits associated with the construction of the YDSS Interceptor Sewer will be issued once the EMP has been approved by staff. As requested by DFO, a single Letter of Advice under Section 35(2) of the Fisheries Act will be issued for the entire project. Control of Flooding: The stream bed and banks will be reconstructed to match existing conditions following construction, therefore there will be no negative impacts to flooding. Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (silt fence, rock flow check dam, dewatering trap, erosion control blankets) will be implemented to ensure that sediment will not enter the watercourse. 65 Conservation of Land: The watercourses will be temporarily altered through a dam and pump method to complete the sewer installation in the dry. With appropriate protection and monitoring plans in effect, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat will be mitigated. This permit will be issued once the associated EMP for the project has been approved by staff. Plantings• All disturbed areas will be restored with native species following construction.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This proposal involves the creation of an at -grade pedestrian walking trail within the Humber - H2 and H3 valley corridors, in the City of Brampton. The trail proposed within the H3 valley (north of Sandalwood Parkway) will be constructed both east and west of the Mountainash Road bridge, within the valley of the H3 Tributary of the Humber River. No trail access currently exists within this area of the valley, and the proposed trail will provide both a pedestrian link between the residential communities on the north and south side of the valley, and provide pedestrian walkway within the valley corridor from west of Mountainash Road, to Airport Road. As this valley corridor is presently in a natural state, the trail and proposed pedestrian bridge crossings will need to be constructed with consideration for the natural topography, vegetation, and natural hazards. A second trail will be constructed in the vicinity of the H2 Mountainash bridge (south of Sandalwood Parkway) to complement the existing trail network within this valley corridor, and provide additional access to future City of Brampton parklands within this area. Through constructing the proposed trails at- grade, modifying surface materials in environmentally sensitive areas, providing for unlit trails within environmentally sensitive areas, and providing for sufficient spans on pedestrian bridges, these trails will be created with as little impact upon the natural systems of these areas as possible. Control of Flooding: As the proposed trail is to be constructed at- grade, and the pedestrian bridges will be designed to allow for the conveyance of flood waters, no significant impacts to the storage or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated as a result of this project. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be implemented throughout the construction phases. All works in and adjacent to the watercourse features will be completed in accordance with MNR Fisheries Timing Window Restrictions. Conservation of Land: Portions of the subject trail will be constructed within existing vegetated areas. A comprehensive restoration plan, to be completed to the satisfaction of TRCA staff will be provided, in advance of the issuance of this permit. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored to original conditions, using native, non - invasive species, in accordance with TRCA Planting Guidelines. 67 Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.1.2 - New Resource -Based Uses, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

To alter a waterway, excavate fill within a regulated area, northwest of Rutherford Road and Bathurst Street, in the City of Vaughan, Don River Watershed as located on the property owned by Block 11 Properties Inc. The purpose is to excavate fill within a Fill Regulated Area and alter a tributary of the Don River, in order to implement restoration works related to a upwelling of groundwater within the watercourse in Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. The permit will be issued for the period of March 3, 2006 to March 2, 2011. • Letter of Undertaking - noting that all outstanding concerns will be resolved prior to permit issuance, prepared by Jill Atwood, Groundwater & Environmental Management Services Inc., dated February 21, 2006, received February 23, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to excavate fill within a Fill Regulated Area and alter a tributary of the Don River (Upper East Don), in order to implement restoration works relating to a previous upwelling of groundwater within the watercourse, in Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. This upwelling occurred at the Bridge Crossing G work site(crossing over future Thomas Cook Avenue), near the southwest corner of Planning Block 11, within Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 19T -95062 (Woodvalley Developments). Planning Block 11 is bounded by Bathurst Street to the east, Major Mackenzie Drive to the north, Dufferin Street to the west and Rutherford Road to the south. The proposed works will be taking place within the West Tributary to the East Don River, which is considered a small cold water tributary. On July 8, 2005, Authority staff issued a permit under Ontario Regulation 158 for the construction of three bridge crossings within Block 11 (Crossings A, D & G - Permit No. C- 05196). The proposed works are located at Bridge Crossing G. This permit was approved by the Executive Committee on April 8, 2005 on a conditional basis (subject to outstanding issues being satisfactorily resolved). 71 Groundwater Upwelling - Emergency Measures: On November 11, 2005, field technicians retained by the applicant to conduct monitoring of dewatering activities in Block 11 noticed turbidity in the West Tributary of the East Don River. An inspection of the tributary upstream located the source of the turbidity; an upwelling of groundwater in the bed of the watercourse. This upwelling was causing an infiltration of fine sediment from the aquifer. The exact reasons for this upwelling are not entirely clear, although staff believes it is related to work in the nearby area, specifically pile- driving work to construct Crossing G and directional drilling under the tributary for servicing. Subsequent to the identification of this upwelling, emergency measures were initiated. This included attempts to reduce the pressure on the head of the confined aquifer in the vicinity of the upwelling. The reduction in pressure was carried out in two phases. The first phase involved the extraction of groundwater from the existing open excavation (for directional drilling). Groundwater that was extracted was conveyed to an approved temporary siltation pond (Pond # 12 - Permit No. C- 04301). Phase two involved the installation of a small dewatering wellpoint system in an attempt to establish a better connection with the aquifer; further lowering the pressure head and preventing the migration of fines into the creek via the upwelling. Seven wellpoints were drilled into the aquifer, with discharge being collected via an operating pump station and transferred to a three Enviro -Tank system to treat the water for total suspended solids. Once treated, the water was discharged into the temporary siltation pond. A Permit to Take Water (PTTW) was previously issued by the Ministry of the Environment for dewatering works related to the directional drilling activities. Remediation Works: At this time, the situation has been stabilized with no evidence of any further groundwater upwelling at the work site. In order to remediate the situation and implement a long -term solution, the applicant has proposed remedial works to remove sediment deposited during the event and restore the bed of the tributary. To carry out these works, flows from the tributary will be dammed by using pea gravel bags wrapped in plastic. A 525 mm rigid culvert will be placed on the first layer of bags to flume water around the upwelling area. A downstream dam will also be erected, allowing works to be carried out in the dry. Groundwater monitoring as well as the monitoring of fish capture activities will be carried out by qualified technical staff. Once the work area has been isolated, deposited sediment will be removed by hand and through the use of a vacuum truck. Sediment will be transferred off site. As remedial measures on the bed of the tributary are completed, monitoring will be conducted daily to ensure further upwelling and sedimentation does not occur. Control of Flooding: Authority staff has reviewed technical drawings and information for the proposed works and given that the works are remedial and temporary in nature, the storage and conveyance of flood waters is not expected to be impacted. 72 Pollution: As described, the work area will be isolated and remedial measures will be carried out in the dry. As such, sedimentation of the watercourse is not anticipated from the works. However, an erosion control specialist will be monitoring the work$ to ensure that sediment does not travel downstream. Fine sediment deposited on the bed from the upwelling activity is being vacuumed and removed off -site. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. As the proposed works consist of in -water works, there is potential for the Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction of Fish Habitat. As such, an authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be required. Staff at DFO are currently reviewing details on the proposed works. Furthermore, staff from the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) are undertaking a review and are to issue a work permit under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act (and permit work to be carried out during the coldwater fisheries timing window). Approvals from both MNR and DFO will be required prior to the issuance of the subject permit. No vegetation is expected to be removed as part of the remedial measures. Plantings As no vegetation is to be removed for the works, plantings will not be required. However, an extensive landscape plan was originally submitted and approved as part of the associated Ont. Reg. 158 permit for the bridge crossing (Bridge G). Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The retrofit to the existing stormwater management pond is required to facilitate the development of a 123 -lot residential subdivision on the subject property. The proposed subdivision consists of single family and semi - detached residences. The subject property is located on the north side of Langstaff Road, east of Martingrove Road, within the City of Vaughan. The lands are partially located within the TRCA's Fill Regulated Area and the Regional Storm Flood Plain for Rainbow Creek, Humber River Watershed. The proposal is to carry out a cut and fill procedure in the flood plain, in order to facilitate the expansion of the existing stormwater management pond. Fill will be placed on the south side of the watercourse to accommodate the pond expansion. Fill removal will occur to the north, on the opposite side of the watercourse. No in -water works are proposed and all excess fill material will be removed from the site. All disturbed areas will be restored and enhanced with native plantings upon completion of construction. 75 Control of Flooding: TRCA Water Management staff has reviewed the cut and fill analysis for the grading work being conducted within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, and is satisfied that the control of flooding will not be affected. Pollution: Sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained for the duration of construction to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent watercourse. The plan has been redline revised to ensure sediment and erosion controls will be provided on the north side of the watercourse where fill removal is proposed. Conservation of Land: There will be no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Further, the project does not constitute a Harmful Alteration, Destruction, or Disruption of Fish Habitat and, therefore, an Authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is not required. Staff will issue a Letter of Advice to the proponent on behalf of DFO. There are no other significant natural features on, or adjacent to, the site that may be negatively impacted by the project. Plantings A valleyland restoration plan, which provides for plantings of native, non - invasive species adjacent to the expanded stormwater management pond and area of proposed fill removal, has been prepared to the satisfaction of TRCA Planning Ecology staff.

The purpose is to alter a waterway associated with the Humber River in order to complete works to improve the water quality and habitat of an existing on -line pond. In conjunction with this application, a cabana (with washroom facility), deck and footbridge over part of the pond is proposed at 18127 Innis Lake Road, in the Town of Caledon. 76 The permit will be issued for the period of March 3, 2006 to March 2, 2008. • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by A. Belcher, Anthony Belcher Architect, dated March 1, 2006, to address all outstanding engineering and ecology issues. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of this proposal is to alter a waterway associated with the Humber River in order to complete works to improve the water quality and habitat of an existing 744 square metre (8000 sq. ft.), 3.65 metre (12 ft.) deep on -line pond. Works include draining the pond to remove significant volumes of accumulated sediment (to be taken off site) which have accumulated and the installation of a new bottom draw overflow pipe. This proposal also involves the construction of a one - storey, 37 square metre (400 sq. ft.) cabana with washroom facility, a 74 square metre (800 sq. ft.) deck and installation of a footbridge over part of the pond at 18127 Innis Lake Road, in the Town of Caledon. TRCA historic sampling data shows that this area of the Humber River watershed supports a diverse fishery, which included Brook trout, Rainbow trout, Blacknose dace, American brook lamprey, White sucker and Creek chun. The proposed habitat enhancement works will provide significant improvement to the aquatic system in this area. The proposed bottom draw outflow structure is one habitat enhancement measure. In conjunction with the dredging works, this proposal also involves the creation of shallow areas in the pond with native plantings of appropriate aquatic species, as well as establishing a native riparian zone around the perimeter of the pond. The proposed riparian zone includes native shrub and under - storey to create additional shade for the pond. This is a cold water stream, and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) fisheries timing window requires this work to be completed between July 1 to September 15. To complete the dredging works, the applicant is proposing to temporarily take the pond off -line through damming the flow, and pumping water to the downstream side of the pond. Control of Flooding: TRCA Water Resources staff has reviewed this proposal and has confirmed that there are no floodplain management concerns associated with this development proposal. As such, the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted . as a result of construction. Pollution: The proposed works will be completed in the 'dry'. A dewatering pump at the upstream location of the pond is proposed and water is to be diverted around the pond feature via a discharge pipe. Temporary sediment and erosion controls are to be installed prior to any construction and maintained during all phases of construction to ensure no adverse downstream impacts. 77 Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. No significant vegetation is to be removed as a result of construction. Fisheries related issued are being addressed through the strict adherence to the fisheries cold water timing window (no • in -water works between September 16 to June 30), additional habitat enhancement works and a fish salvage plan (required in the event that fish are found during the dewatering process). On this basis, TRCA Planning Ecology staff has verified that the proposed works will not result in the Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. A Letter of Advice (LOA) on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be issued with this permit. Furthermore, staff from Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) is currently reviewing this application through a related approval process. As such, MNR staff has verified that a permit under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act (LRIA) is not required. Plantings All disturbed areas are to be restored to original condition.

The purpose is to alter a waterway within a Fill Regulated Area in order to facilitate the reconstruction of a bridge over Little Rouge Creek on 19th Avenue. The permit will be issued for the period of March 3, 2006 to March 2, 2008. • Memorandum of Understanding, prepared by the Engineering Department from the Town of Markham, regarding TRCA requirements for bridge replacements, dated March 1, 2006 and received March 1, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 78 Proposal: The proposal involves the excavation, placement of fill within a Fill Regulated Area, construction within the Regional Storm Floodplain, and the alteration of a watercourse within the Rouge River Watershed, in order to facilitate the replacement of an existing bridge over the Little Rouge River with a new, upgraded two -lane bridge with a span that is more than double the existing 6 metres. The Town of Markham wishes to replace the existing structure over the Little Rouge River at 19th Avenue because it is failing, due to age and erosion of the abutments as a result of them being placed within the watercourse. Control of Flooding: TRCA has reviewed and is in support of a hydraulic analysis, undertaken by the applicant, which indicates that there is no increase in the control of flooding by this bridge replacement. Pollution: To facilitate the bridge replacement, the work will be'done "in the dry" to prevent any construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse. The method of achieving this will be discussed with the contractor prior to the works. A small section of the stream bank will be disturbed by the construction. This area will be stabilized with river run stone prior to allowing flows back in the watercourse. Sediment and erosion control measures will be implemented to prevent siltation from entering to the watercourse. Conservation of Land: TRCA are satisfied that there will be no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored to existing condition upon completion of the project through a restoration plan that has been approved to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. Policy Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing. The permit will be withheld until authorization has been granted by the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 81 Proposal: The proposal involves the excavation and placement of fill within the Fill Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed to facilitate the replacement of an existing one - storey residence with a new two- storey single family residence, with a walk -out basement, rear yard deck, pool and cabana. The subject property is located within an existing residential area and fronts onto Lake Wilcox. The proposed two- storey residence will be constructed over and beyond the footprint of the existing residential dwelling and will constitute a significant increase in the size of the dwelling. The proposed two- storey residence is located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. There is no defined valley feature on the subject property. Control of Flooding: The pool and cabana are proposed in the Regional Storm Floodplain. All works proposed in the Regional Storm Floodplain have been adequately floodproofed to provincial flood standards and criteria. Therefore, there will be no impacts from the proposed works on the storage and conveyance of flood waters. There will be no impact on significant natural features, fisheries or riparian vegetation. Pollution: Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained intact for the duration of construction to prevent sediment from entering the natural system. Conservation of Land: TRCA visited the subject property and are satisfied that there will be no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. As the watercourse will not be impacted by the development, no fisheries concerns will result. There are no significant natural features on the property that may be negatively impacted by the project. Plantings The project will not affect any significant natural features as the area of works does not maintain any existing vegetation. All disturbed areas will be restored to existing condition upon completion of the project through a landscape plan that has been approved to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. Additional compensation has been remitted by the applicant to the TRCA through riparian edge planting and shoreline enhancement of Lake Wilcox.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of the construction of nine discharge locations along 19th Avenue and Leslie Street to receive dewatering discharge during the installation of Phase 1 and 2 of the YDSS Interceptor Sewer. The locations have been planned to receive dewatering discharge for shaft construction, contingency discharge for sewer installation and maintenance pumping as needed dependent on location. All locations will be constructed using a typical gabion stone mattress design. An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared for the proposed dewatering, which outlines maximum discharge rates and mitigative measures to avoid downstream impacts. While the EMP is currently under review by TRCA staff in conjunction with DFO and MNR, staff supports the sections of the EMP that are associated with the discharge structures. As such, staff is prepared to support this application in advance of the EMP approval, which is imminent. Two separate permits will be issued for the open cut construction of the sewer along Leslie Street and for the construction of Shaft 3 west of Bayview Avenue. This latter application will be brought to the Executive Committee for approval in May 2006, once the Generic Regulation is in place. The three permits associated with the construction of the YDSS Interceptor Sewer will be issued once the EMP has been approved by staff. As requested by DFO, a single Letter of Advice under Section 35(2) of the Fisheries Act will be issued for the entire project. Control of Flooding: There will be no impacts on flooding resulting from these works. 83 Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (gabion mattresses, check dams) will be implemented to ensure that sediment will not enter the watercourse. Conservation of Land: All dewatering discharge will comply with the EMP for the project. Discharge will be controlled and monitored to avoid impacts to aquatic resources. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with native species following construction.

The permit will be issued for the period of March 3, 2006 to March 2, 2008. • Letter of Undertaking by Samuel Ng, Landscape Architect, Town of Richmond Hill, Parks, Recreation and Culture Department committing to make revisions to plans as required by TRCA staff to the satisfaction of TRCA staff and Town of Richmond Hill staff. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This proposal involves the alteration of a tributary of the West Don River, construction in the flood plain and the excavation and placement of fill within a Fill Regulated Area in order to remove and re -align a valleyland trail that has been compromised by an erosion scar. The proposal is located immediately south of Carrville Road and east of Bathurst Street in the Town of Richmond Hill on lands owned by the Town of Richmond Hill. 84 Works associated with the removal of existing features include the removal of the existing asphalt and gravel path, the establishment of tree protection adjacent to the wooded areas, the erection of a silt fence between the river and the area of disturbance and the removal of some vegetation. Works associated with the re- alignment of the trail and repair of the erosion scar include the construction of a new trail located further away from the edge of the watercourse and the filling in of the erosion scar through the construction of a live crib wall which is to be composed of evergreen tree boughs, live dormant cuttings and compacted native backfill. The edge of the embankment inland from the new crib wall is to be re- graded and re- planted with to form a slop of 3h:1v with a live brush layer. Extensive plantings are proposed in all disturbed areas. i' Control of Flooding_ : TRCA engineering staff have reviewed the design of the trail re- alignment and erosion scar repair and have determined that there will be no impacts to the storage and conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be erected and maintained during construction to prevent construction - generated sediment from entering the watercourse. Conservation of Land: Some vegetation is proposed to be removed by this proposal, however all removals are to be replaced with new plantings. There are no geotechnical or slope stability concerns associated with this proposal. The proposed works are not considered to be a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. A letter of advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be issued with this permit. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored and stabilized using a TRCA approved seed mix. In addition, all proposed plantings will be native and non - invasive species consistent with TRCA's planting guidelines. Policy Guidelines: The works are consistent with Section 4.1.2 - New Resource -based Uses of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

The purpose is to excavate and place fill (to remove and decommission the Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) structures, to remove 70 metres of gabion baskets, to restore Stouffville Creek to a natural watercourse, to remove the WPCP outfall) in a Fill Regulated Area; to construct structures (8 stream deflectors) within a Regional Storm Floodplain; to temporarily alter a watercourse (Stouffville Creek) during the warmwater timing window (July 1 to March 31) through an isolation method in order to work in the dry for the gabion basket removal works, and to reduce flows by 50 litres per second when the WPCP is decommissioned March 31, 2006. The permit will be issued for the period of March 3, 2006 to March 2, 2008. • Letter of Undertaking to provide revisions to drawings; dated February 23, 2006, received February 27, 2006; signed by the Regional Municipality of York. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The entire proposal consists of decommissioning and removal of the Stouffville Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) (near Burkholder Street) and the West End Pumping Station (WEPS) (near Ringwood Drive). As part of the York Durham Sewage System (YDSS) Master Plan, sewage flows will be directed to the recently constructed 9th Line Sewer. As identified in the Environmental Assessment (EA) , the decommissioning of the WPCP will result in the reduction of flows to the Stouffville Creek by 50 litres /second on March 31, 2006. Prior to this reduction in flows, eight stream deflectors will need to be installed after March 3, 2006 in order to mitigate potential impact to fish passage along a 360 metre length of Stouffville Creek from the WPCP southwards to Hoover Park Drive. The deflectors will assist with narrowing the stream in required locations to increase water depths. A three year monitoring plan, will be implemented to pro - actively identify and mitigate fish passage concerns within Stouffville Creek resulting from the reduction of flows. The monitoring reports will be submitted to TRCA and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) yearly on December 31st. The WPCP decommissioning also includes the removal of 70 metres of gabion baskets aligning the watercourse to the west of the plant structures. There will also be a naturalization of the stream using natural channel design principles. The WPCP buildings and structures will be removed and the site will be re- graded within the Regional Storm Floodplain and Fill Regulated Area. 86 The West End Pumping Station (WEPS) near Ringwood Drive, however, is not located within a Fill Regulated Area. Although the site is located within a Regional Storm Floodplain, with the decommissioning there will not be any construction of any structures to cause any obstructions to flow or loss of flood storage. The plans submitted indicate that the wet well, control and generator building, overflow chamber and transformer pad will be removed., The microwave tower and micro -cell service building will remain. The entire project was reviewed by TRCA staff during the Environmental Assessment process in File 34253. Control of Flooding: The eight stream deflectors will not have any implications to flooding. Within the Regional Storm Floodplain all of the Water Pollution Control Plant structures (WPCP) will be removed and most of the structures associated with the West End Pumping Station (WEPS) will be removed. In both instances the sites will be regraded to match existing topography. There will be no negative impacts on flood storage or conveyance of floodwaters associated with the decommissioning. Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (sediment fencing, dam and pump isolation method) will be implemented to ensure that the construction - generated sediments do not enter the watercourse during the gabion basket works. The stream deflectors will be installed by hand, therefore, care will be taken to avoid sedimentation of the watercourse. With the WPCP decommissioning, the flow from the WPCP will stop entering the watercourse and the water quality will reflect this change in the future. With the WEPS the site is surrounded by a fence, and all demolition works will be contained to that area and will avoid sedimentation of any watercourse in the vicinity. Conservation of Land: There will be in stream works associated "with this project. Eight stream deflectors be installed in the watercourse downstream of the Water Pollution Control Plan (WPCP) to be decommissioned. This decommissioning of the WPCP will remove 50 litres per second of flow from the watercourse. The purpose of the deflectors is to increase the depth of flows at required locations in the watercourse to provide adequate fish passage. The watercourse will also be altered temporarily through isolation methods in order for the gabions baskets to be removed and the new watercourse to be constructed in the dry. With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the DFO. TRCA staff has been in consultation with the DFO on this project. The proposed works will impact no significant terrestrial resource features. 87 The gabion baskets and some of the stream deflector locations are located on lands owned by the TRCA. An archaeological investigation was conducted in February 2006 by TRCA's 'Archaeologist. No further archaeological investigation is required, however, TRCA's Archaeologist will be on site during installation of the deflectors to ensure that the TRCA lands near the banks are not disturbed. TRCA's Property Section will be preparing the Permission to Enter (PTE) in order to conduct the works for the gabions and certain stream deflectors. The WPCP and WEPS are located on the Oak Ridges Moraine within the Settlement Area. The proposed decommissioning will impact no significant terrestrial resource features. The Stouffville Creek has been identified as a hydrologically sensitive feature. This project has been reviewed under the Environmental Assessment Act, Ontario Regulation 158 and under the Fisheries Act for the tests and best management practices. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with native /non- invasive species following construction. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to alter a waterway and construct in the Regulatory Floodplain of the Frenchman's Bay Watershed in order to facilitate the upgrading of the existing Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club Facility. The permit will be issued for the period of March 3, 2006 to March 2, 2008 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Location of Existing Ramp, Gabion Wall and Footprints, prepared by the Power Application Group, dated February 28, 2006 and received February 28, 2006; • Access for Disabled Sailors & Boating Recreation West Wall, prepared by the Power Application Group, dated February 28, 2006 and received February 28, 2006; • Location for Ramp and Sand Areas, prepared by the Power Application Group, dated February 28, 2006 and received February 28, 2006; • North Wall Basin Existing and Proposed, prepared by the Power Application Group, dated February 28, 2006 and received February 28, 2006. 91 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal involves the alteration to a waterway and construction in the Regulatory Floodplain of the Frenchman's Bay Watershed, to facilitate the renovation of the existing Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club so that the existing yacht club facility may offer sailing services to individuals with special needs. The works related to this permit include: dredging of a small portion of the Bay to reduce siltation on the basin floor in order to assist in the launching of boats of a greater depth, designed for individuals with special needs; the placement of a new ramp in the location of the existing ramp; the construction of two sandy beach areas on either side of the proposed ramp; the reconstruction of a floating dock over the existing floating dock; the construction of a trench approximately 0.5 metres wide behind the existing gabion baskets located along the shoreline, and the removal of the existing gabion baskets to allow rock fill within the gabion baskets to fill towards the shore, within the newly constructed trench area; and lastly, the renovation of the existing yacht club, to include a new washroom facility and elevator shaft, located within the existing footprint of the structure. This proposal will result in an improvement to the current condition of the site. TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed works do not constitute a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat as the works proposed do not constitute an increase in footprint in -water and promote enhancement of fish habitat through the renaturalization of the shoreline with sandy beach areas and the removal of gabion baskets. The Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club is registered under the "not- for - profit" guidelines and includes 150 volunteers to undertake various work around the club. The club is a tenant of TRCA and has hosted many community clean -up activities and planting events in support of our Frenchman's Bay Rehabilitation Project (community stewardship). The lease for the subject property expired on December 31, 2005. TRCA staff are in the process of negotiating a new lease with the Frenchman's May Yacht Club and a report will be brought forward to a future Executive Committee meeting regarding the terms of the new lease. Control of Flooding:' TRCA staff have determined that there will be no impact on the control of flooding as a result of the proposed works, as they constitute an improvement over the existing conditions on the subject property. Pollution: Standard Erosion and Sediment Control measures will be implemented to ensure that the construction - generated sediment do not enter into the Bay. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical concerns associated with this project. TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed works do not constitute a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat and a letter of advice will be issued from the TRCA on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for the proposed works.

CARRIED CITY OF BRAMPTON 8.1.15 CITY OF BRAMPTON To alter a waterway, construct in a floodplain, place fill within a regulated area in Castlemore Valley North located at the southeast corner of Airport Road and Countryside Drive, in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by City of Brampton. The purpose is to alter a waterway, construct in a floodplain, and place fill material within a TRCA Fill Regulated Area in order to facilitate the construction of a pedestrian pathway and bridge structure. The permit will be issued for the period of April 7, 2006 to April 6, 2008. • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Tim Turner, Baker Turner Inc., dated April 4, 2006, to address outstanding TRCA Ecology and Engineering requirements prior to the issuance of the permit. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of this proposal is to alter a waterway, construct in a floodplain, and place fill material within a TRCA Fill Regulated Area to facilitate the construction of a pedestrian pathway and bridge structure crossing a tributary of the West Humber River in Castlemore Valley North located south of Countryside Drive, east of Airport Road and west of Goreway Drive, in the City of Brampton. The valley associated with the proposed trail and bridge structure consists of a grass open field with some scattered mature trees. The proposed pathway and bridge structure have been designed to preserve and enhance the existing ecological conditions to the greatest extent possible. In addition, the location of the bridge crossing has been based on the predicted meander belt and the 100 -year erosion limit associated with the watercourse feature. TRCA Water Resource staff has confirmed that there will be no significant increase in upstream and downstream flooding. In this regard, this proposal has been designed as a 15 metre clear -span bridge which will have the least amount of impact on the natural system in this area. Please note that there will be no in -water works associated with this proposal. As such, the works do not constitute a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. 152 The subject lands have been identified as a 'target area' for natural cover enhancement through TRCA's Terrestrial Natural Heritage Strategy (TNHS). As an element of this proposal, extensive naturalization of the valley corridor is proposed. All proposed plant species are native and non - invasive, consistent with TRCA's guidelines. Control of Flooding: TRCA Water Resources staff has confirmed that there will be no adverse impacts on the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters as a result of these works. Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures are to be installed and maintained during all phases of construction. Conservation of Land: TRCA staff has reviewed the potential for fisheries impacts from the proposed works and has confirmed that no in -water work is required to complete the works. The proposed works will not result in a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat by incorporating measures specified on the plans and adhering to the conditions stipulated in the Operational Statement for clear -span bridges issued by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). It is anticipated that no significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability issues associated with this proposal. Plantings All disturbed areas are to be restored to original condition. Extensive naturalization involving native and non - invasive plantings is proposed to further enhance the valley corridor function. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is in conformity with Section 4.1.2 - New Resource -based Uses and Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

To construct in a flood plain, place fill within a regulated area on Lot 2, 3, Plan BR 2, (24 Queen Street East), in the City of Brampton, Etobicoke Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by Market Square (Brampton) Inc. The purpose is to place fill within a Fill Regulated Area, and construct within the Regulatory Floodplain, to facilitate the construction of an underground pedestrian walkway at the rear of 24 Queen Street, City of Brampton. The permit will be issued for the period of April 7, 2006 to April 6, 2008. 153 • Letter of undertaking provided by Sam Cutruzzola, Inzola, dated April 5, 2006, to address all outstanding TRCA Engineering issues prior to issuance of the permit. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This proposal involves the construction an underground 'pedestrian walkway to connect the parking lot of the new Brampton Performing Arts Centre, with 24 Queen Street in downtown Brampton. The Brampton Performing Arts Centre has recently been constructed in accordance with a TRCA permit approved by the Executive Committee on June 6, 2003. Minor amendments were made to this permit prior to issuance, at the request of City of Brampton staff, to include the connection of a ground -level enclosed pedestrian walkway. The proposed glass walkway was to join the two buildings through the existing laneway that separates the buildings. A subsequent permit application was brought forward and approved by the Executive Committee for the remainder of the proposed above - ground linkway (Permit C- 05095, approved on March 4, 2005). After the issuance of this permit, City of Brampton staff have now determined that the proposed linkway does not meet the objectives of their larger revitalization plans for this area, and would limit the opportunities for providing focal point amenities within this area. As a result of the above, a new proposal is being brought forward to create an underground passage between the two buildings, to provide for the necessary access, while maintaining opportunities for better utilizing the existing laneway. The proposed underground walkway, and the two buildings which it connects, are located within in an area that is subject to flooding during a Regional Storm event, that has been designated as a Special Policy Area (SPA). In accordance with TRCA Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program policies and Provincial guidelines, new development and site alterations may be completed within SPAs subject to meeting flood related criteria. Both buildings that are linked by the proposed passage are subject to flooding in a Regional Storm event, and consequently, the proposed passage would be subject to flooding. As an underground walkway, an emergency exit cannot be provided from this walkway that would be outside of the floodplain. It is recognized that areas of the buildings on both sides of the proposed walkway are currently subject to flooding during a Regional Storm Event, and no new areas will be flooded as a result of this project. Given the above, passive floodproofing measures cannot be implemented with this project, and thus a more active approach to risk management must be applied. TRCA staff have identified that appropriate emergency management measures must be put in place, such that any additional risk to users during a flood event can be minimized to the greatest possible extent. As a component of this permit application, TRCA staff have requested that the City of Brampton acknowledge the potential risk that may be associated with using the proposed passage when it is subject to flooding, provide signage accordingly, and commit to create an emergency management plan to address the flood related risk for the proposed linkway, to ensure that users would not be trapped in the passage during a Regional Storm event. City of Brampton staff have provided this letter of recognition, and have committed to provide the above noted requirements. 154 Control of Flooding: The proposed works will occur in the Regional Storm Floodplain, however, as the proposed walkway links two areas that are currently subject to flooding during a Regional Storm event, no additional impacts to flood flows or conveyance are anticipated as a result of this project. Pollution: The area in which work is proposed is located within the urbanized downtown area of the City of Brampton, and is significantly removed from Etobicoke Creek. Appropriate isolation of the work area will be completed during the construction phase, which will address all sediment and erosion control requirements. Conservation of Land: No vegetation or significant natural features exist within this area. There are no fisheries or geotechnical related concerns with this proposal. Plantings This project is being completed underground in a developed area in which no vegetation, or opportunity for re- vegetation presently exists. Given the above, no plantings are proposed with this project. Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.2.1 (B) - Development and Redevelopment /Intensification within Established /Highly Urbanized Areas - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

To construct in a flood plain on Part Lot 14, 15, Concession 5 EHS, in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Hermosa Developments Inc.. The purpose is to construct a temporary diversion channel within the valley of the H2 tributary of the Humber River, to facilitate channel reconstruction works, associated with the servicing of the adjacent residential subdivision. The permit will be issued for the period of April 7, 2006 to April 6, 2011. • Letter of Undertaking provided by Darren Steedman, Metrus Development, dated April 5, 2006, to address outstanding TRCA Ecology and Engineering issues, prior to the issuance of the permit. 155 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This permit forms one component of the valleyland works associated with the proposed " Springdale 902" residential subdivision, located on the west side of Bramalea Road, south of Countryside Drive, in the City of Brampton. Development within this area is guided by a Master Drainage Plan that identifies servicing requirements to facilitate development within this area. As a result of the drainage on the subject property, and those directly upstream, a section of the H2 tributary of the Humber River (approximately 600 metres in length), which traverses the subject property, must be lowered. This section will be reconstructed using natural channel design techniques, and will incorporate a comprehensive stream restoration and enhancement plan. A permit for related works on the adjacent property directly upstream was approved by the Executive Committee at the December 2, 2005 meeting. The proposed lowering of the watercourse, and the requisite stormwater management works for the adjacent development will require several TRCA permits. The subject permit application is only to allow for the construction of a temporary diversion channel, which will convey stream flows during the construction of the new channel. Permits for the remainder of the works will be brought forward once remaining issues relating to design of the new channel have been resolved. These works will constitute a Harmful Alteration Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of Fish Habitat, in accordance with the Federal Fisheries Act, and will require Authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Permits for the remainder of the proposed works will be brought forward to the Executive Committee later this year for consideration. The proposed diversion channel is located within the existing stream corridor, and has been sized to accommodate minor storm events, in accordance with TRCA requirements. Control of Flooding: The proposed works will occur within the Regional Storm Floodplain, however the proposed diversion channel will be temporary, and the proposed future channel which will be subject to a separate permit, has been sized to accommodate Regional Storm flows. Pollution: Appropriate Sediment and erosion control measures will be put in place and maintained during the construction, and operational phases. Conservation of Land: No in -water works are proposed with this permit. Fisheries concerns will be addressed through the application of the MNR fisheries timing window restrictions, and the requisite approvals from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) that will be required for the subsequent phases of the proposed stream corridor modifications. There are no geotechnical concerns with this proposal. Plantings A comprehensive valleyland restoration plan has been created for the area in which the proposed works will occur. This restoration plan will form a part of a forthcoming permit application for the remainder of the works proposed within the channel. 156 Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to construct within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and alter a tributary of the Don River, in order to implement restoration works relating to a stream realignment, fish habitat enhancements and combined riparian plantings in Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. The permit will be issued for the period of April 7, 2006 to April 6, 2011. • Letter of Undertaking, noting that all outstanding TRCA issues will be satisfactorily addressed, prepared by Dillon Consulting, received February 1, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 161 Proposal: The proposal is to construct within a Regional Storm Flood Plain and alter a tributary of the west branch of the East Don River, in order to conduct restoration works involving the realignment, restoration and enhancement of an ill- defined watercourse as well as fish habitat enhancements. The subject site is located near the southwest corner of Planning Block 11, within Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 19T -95066 (Nine -Ten West Limited). The proposed restoration work site was initially identified as one of four ecological restoration areas in the Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) for Block 11, within the City of Vaughan. The subject work area is commonly referred to as Restoration Site #4. Block 11 is bounded by Major Mackenzie to the north, Rutherford Road to the south, Dufferin Street to the west and Bathurst Street to the east. Historically, the subject site was used for agricultural activities. The existing watercourse originates east of Dufferin Street, and proceeds to the east before it converges with another branch of the tributary of the west branch of the East Don River. The watercourse then turns south and crosses Rutherford Road and enters Planning Block 10. The subject watercourse is ill- defined and is currently not conducive to fish habitat. The proposed works will involve the development of a natural channel with riparian cover and habitat. This channel will then join two valley features near Creek 7. A nearby stormwater management facility (SWM Pond # 7) is located adjacent to the channel and will contribute flows to the watercourse. Flows from this new channel will feed into another natural channel which was previously reviewed and conditionally approved by the Executive Committee (203 /05/VAUG). The associated works involve the removal of an on -line farm pond and the construction of a natural channel between proposed Stormwater Management Ponds 5 and 6. The permits for SWM Ponds 5 & 6 as well as the related natural channel permit have not been issued as these works are part of the comprehensive restoration strategy in this area. The related permits will be issued at the same time as the subject permit. The proposed channel will be approximately 196 m in length with a minimal slope gradient of 2.0 %. Natural channel principles have been incorporated into the subject designs. The Authority's Fluvial Geomorphologist has reviewed technical submissions relating to the proposed works and is satisfied, in principle, with the submissions. Minor comments remain outstanding with respect to landscaping and the design of the natural channel. However, these comments will be satisfactorily addressed prior to issuance of the permit. Control of Flooding: Authority staff has reviewed technical drawings for the proposed works to ensure the new channel will safely convey storm flows. As such, the storage and conveyance of flood waters is not expected to be impacted. Pollution: Erosion and sediment control measures will be erected prior the start of construction and maintained for the duration of the works to ensure that sediment is not conveyed into the East Don River. 162 Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. It is noted that the proposed works do not constitute a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. Therefore, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Plantings Extensive riparian and landscape plantings will be made as per the submitted landscape planting plans for Creek 7 as well as nearby Stormwater Management Pond 7. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.2.2 (F) - Opportunities for Regeneration, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to alter two watercourses (McNair Creek and a tributary of the East Don River) during the coldwater timing window (July 1 to September 15) through a dam and pump around method in order to work in the dry; to remove the existing Corrugated Steel Pipe (CSP) culvert and replace with a new box culvert on McNair Creek; and to construct a 10m culvert extension on the East Don River tributary. The subject property is not regulated for fill placement. The permit will be issued for the period of April 7, 2006 to April 6, 2008. • Letter of Undertaking; (to provide revisions to engineering drawings); dated March 31, 2006; received April 4, 2006; prepared by the Regional Municipality of York. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 163 Proposal: The proposal consists of the widening and reconstructing of Teston Road from Dufferin Street in the west to Bathurst Street in the east. Teston Road will be reconstructed as a 2 lane rural facility with a 4m wide median. Dufferin Street will be widened to accommodate a left hand turn to Teston Road. There are two culvert crossings of concern on Teston Road between Dufferin Street and Bathurst Road. It is proposed that the existing 12m length x 600 mm diameter corrugated steel pipe (CSP) at McNair Creek (Crossing ED -4) will be removed and replaced with a 36 m length x 6 m span x 1.8m height box culvert embedded 0.3 metres. The existing 1400mm diameter CSP at the tributary of the East Don River (ED6) will be extended by 10 metres to the north. Both features have defined beds and banks and are classified as watercourses. Neither watercourses are located within a Fill Regulated Area or Regional Storm Floodplain. All works will be conducted in the dry with a dam and pump method. The project was reviewed by TRCA staff during the Environmental Assessment process in Central File Number 31527. Control of Flooding: The locations of the two culverts are not within the Regional Storm Floodplain, therefore; there will not be any impacts to flooding. Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (silt fencing, rock check dams, dam and pump) be implemented to ensure that the construction - generated sediments do not enter the watercourse. Water quality will be addressed through the construction of grassed swales. Conservation of Land: There will be in stream works associated with this project. The tributary of the East Don River will be altered temporarily through a dam and pump around method in order to install a 10 metre culvert extension on the north side of Teston Road in the dry. The McNair Creek however, will be altered permanently. The existing 12 metre length of CSP culvert will be removed and replaced with a box culvert that is 36 metres long. The watercourse will be altered to tie into the existing locations at the north and south ends. The proposed box culvert will be much larger with dimensions of 6 metres wide by 1.8 metres high, whereas the existing CSP is only 600mm in diameter. The project has been classified as a mitigatable harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (Mit. HADD) of fish habitat. With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Canada.

To alter a waterway on Lot 3, Concession 6, (Coleraine Drive), in the Town of Caledon, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Ural Holdings Inc. The purpose is to alter a tributary of the West Humber River in order to replace an existing culvert and install a new culvert beneath Coleraine Drive, in the Town of Caledon in order to convey the 100 year controlled post development flows. The permit will be issued for the period of April 7, 2006 to April 6, 2011. • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by J. Laudadio, Metrus Development Inc., dated April 4, 2006, to address all outstanding TRCA Ecology and Engineering requirements prior to the issuance of the permit. 166 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of this proposal is to alter a branch of the West Humber River in order to replace an existing 600 mm diameter culvert and install a new 1050 mm culvert crossing Coleraine Drive approximately 85 metres north of George Bolton Parkway in order to convey the 100 year controlled post development flows associated with a future industrial subdivision (Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 21T- 00002C). The proposed industrial subdivision comprises a total land area of approximately 15.85 hectares (39.17 acres), which involves three (3) industrial blocks and a stormwater management facility. The subdivision is located east of Coleraine Drive, west of Regional Road 50, north of George Bolton Parkway and south of McEwan Drive, in the Town of Caledon. With an ultimate total drainage area of approximately 28.86 hectares (71.32 acres), the existing culvert beneath Coleraine Drive does not have sufficient capacity to convey the 100 year storm. Excess drainage from the 100 year storm would therefore overspill Coleraine Drive in a post development scenario. The proposed culvert replacement will eliminate the 100 year overspill condition. The proposed culvert replacement was initially identified in the Bolton South Industrial Lands Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP). Please note a future stormwater management facility is to be constructed within Block 4 of Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 21T- 00002C. This facility will also contribute flows to the watercourse. Currently, the existing watercourse originates east of the proposed work area (Coleraine Drive). This tributary east of Coleraine Drive primarily consists as an agricultural drainage swale. However, immediately upstream of Coleraine Drive, the feature becomes more defined as drainage is conveyed through the residential lots within a shallow swale. The culvert replacement work will be completed in the 'dry'. Please note that the culvert replacement must adhere to the warmwater construction timing window (July 1 to March 31). Control of Flooding: TRCA Water Resources staff has confirmed that the culvert replacement will improve the conveyance of flood waters in a post development scenario. As such, the storage and conveyance of flood waters will be further improved as a result of this project. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be erected prior to the start of construction and maintained during all phases of construction to ensure that sediment is not conveyed into the West Humber River. 167 Conservation of Land: TRCA staff has reviewed the potential for fisheries impacts from the proposed works and has confirmed that the proposed works will not result in a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat by incorporating the measures specified on the plans. Therefore, a Letter of Advice (LOA) will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Please note that the culvert replacement works must adhere to the warmwater construction timing window (July 1 to March 31)., No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of this proposal. There are no geotechncial and /or slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Plantings All disturbed areas are to be restored to original condition. No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. As such, compensatory plantings are not required. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

CFN: 37165 - Application #: 496/05/TOR Report Prepared by: Laura James, extension 5723 For information contact: Laura James, extension 5723 Date: April 4, 2006 CITY OF VAUGHAN 8.1.41 GREENBROOKE DEVELOPMENTS INC. To place fill within a regulated area on (Weston Road - north and south of Teston Road), in the City of Vaughan, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Regional Municipality of York. The purpose is to excavate and place fill within a Fill Regulated Area of the Humber River in order to facilitate the installation of a sanitary sewer beneath Weston Road, from north of Teston Road to an area north of Major Mackenzie Drive„ in the City of Vaughan. The permit will be issued for the period of April 7, 2006 to April 6, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • General Notes and Sanitary Sewer Design Sheet, Drawing No. GN -1, prepared by Schaeffers Consulting Engineers, dated March 2006, received March 27, 2006; • Plan and Profile of Weston Road, Drawing Nos. PP -1 & PP -2, prepared by Schaeffers Consulting Engineers, dated March 2006, received March 27, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to excavate and place fill within a Fill Regulated Area of a tributary of the Humber River (Purpleville Creek) in order to facilitate the installation of a sanitary sewer pipe on Weston Road, in the City of Vaughan. The subject site is located within the Weston Road right -of -way, running from north of Teston Road, crossing Teston and proceeding to an area immediately west of Planning Block 33 West and north of Major Mackenzie Drive. The subject works are related to an associated Environmental Assessment (EA) project to widen Weston Road from two lanes to a total of five lanes. Previously, Authority staff reviewed the associated road widening works and a permit under O.Reg. 158 was approved by the Authority on January 14, 2005. O.Reg. 158 Permit No. C -05245 was subsequently issued to the Regional Municipality of York on July 25, 2005. It is noted that the subject works for the sanitary sewer will be conducted at the same time as the proposed Weston Road widening. 182 The sanitary sewer will form an extension from Planning Block 33 West, which will provide servicing to the existing Rimwood subdivision, located on the northeast corner of Weston Road and Teston Road. The proposed sanitary pipe was not included in the original approval for the road widening and hence the need for additional regulatory approvals for the related works. The proposed works will be conducted through an open cut, and will pass over the existing culvert which conveys tributary flows under Weston Road. The works will not involve the alteration of Purpleville Creek, a tributary of the Humber River. As no in -water works are proposed, an authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is not required. Control of Flooding: The proposed works will be located within the Weston Road right -of -way and contained underground. As such, the storage and conveyance of flood waters is not expected to be negatively impacted. Pollution: Erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented for the associated road widening works and will be extended to include the subject project. These measures are to be erected prior to construction and maintained for the duration of the works, to prevent sediment from entering the nearby Purpleville Creek. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Furthermore, no in -water works are proposed. No other significant natural resources are to be impacted by the installation of the sanitary sewer. Plantings No vegetation is to be removed as part of the sanitary works in the Weston Road right -of way. As such, landscape planting plans were not required as part of our review. Policy Guidelines: This proposed complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. CFN: 37578 - Application #: 146 /06/VAUG Report Prepared by: Kevin Huang, extension 5307 For information contact: Kevin Huang, extension 5307 Date: April 5, 2006 RES. #B38/06 - REGIONAL MONITORING NETWORK PROGRAM Stream Flow Monitoring. Approval to hire Ontario Hydrometric Services to construct, maintain, monitor and archive stream flow data as part of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's Regional Monitoring Network Program. 183 Moved by: Seconded by: Maria Augimeri Frank Dale THE BOARD RECOMMENDS TO THE AUTHORITY THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) enter into an agreement with Ontario Hydrometric Services Limited (OHS) for a period of nine months to construct, maintain, monitor and archive stream flow data at 17 existing locations, maintenance on two water level gauges and install three new stations as part of TRCA's Regional Monitoring Network Program, at a maximum upset cost of $98,390.00, plus applicable taxes; AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized and directed to take such action as is necessary to implement the agreement including signing of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND TRCA, with the support of its member municipalities, has developed and implemented a regional monitoring network within TRCA's jurisdiction. The network has been designed to be a comprehensive, integrated and coordinated approach which fulfills the needs of the Remedial_ Action Plan (RAP), TRCA and those of the individual watershed and waterfront councils and alliances, while furthering the interests of municipal, provincial and federal partners. A number of areas with specific monitoring needs were included in the development of the network. These areas include aquatic habitat and species /fluvial geomorphology, terrestrial natural heritage, surface water quality, surface water quantity (flow and precipitation), flood warning, groundwater and air quality. The surface water quantity component specifically builds upon existing stream gauge, rain gauge and snow course networks as these networks relate to the objectives of the water management activities. In 2006, OHS will be responsible for installation of 3 new stream gauge locations for the purpose of flood warning management. In addition to the new gauges, OHS will maintain our existing network of 17 stream flow gauges through continued operations of downloading, archiving, monitoring, maintenance and data processing at each of the locations. Two additional existing stream gauges will be downloaded, archived and monitored by TRCA staff. OHS will be contracted to provide only annual maintenance on these two gauges for calibration and vertical control checks. RATIONALE Historically, the vast majority of gauging in the province has been carried out by Environment Canada, through their Water Survey Canada (WSC) division for stream gauge monitoring or through Meteorologic Services of Canada (MSC) division for rain gauge monitoring. WSC has no mandate to monitor inland water and they have expanded their network to the extent necessary for their purposes. Outside of Environment Canada's objectives, TRCA identified the need to increase the knowledge base of our watersheds by increasing the number of gauges and expanding the network. Presently, TRCA does not have sufficient staff resources needed to operate and maintain the network, therefore staff require the services of a private contractor. Today, the availability of private contractors who undertake water quantity work is still limited in the area. While some consulting firms offer a service of flow gathering in storm and sanitary sewers, very few are able to monitor open channel flows to Environment Canada standards, as required at a number of sites. Ontario Hydrometric Services Limited is the only local firm capable of this level of service. 184 OHS has worked for TRCA over the past seven years. OHS staff have been maintaining and operating the TRCA water quantity network, during which time OHS has gained experience in TRCA monitoring needs and objectives, location of the existing network stations, and has provided technical expertise regarding various types of monitoring equipment. OHS will continue to provide TRCA with monitoring, maintenance, and archiving of data on the existing network and install the new proposed gauges to the specifications of the guidelines recommended by Environment Canada. OHS serviced the rain gauge network for four years prior to TRCA staff taking over operations of the network in 2004. OHS has also worked with a number of other conservation authorities and local municipalities in Southern Ontario, including a few municipalities within TRCA's jurisdiction. This arrangement has facilitated the development of partnership opportunities and cost - sharing agreements. TRCA staff are confident that the contract being awarded to OHS will be excellent value for cost. For the 2007 season, TRCA will evaluate the potential to undertake these services in -house or will prepare a Request for Proposal to other companies to operate our water quantity network. FINANCIAL DETAILS Installation of 3 new stream gauges: $13,700.00, and continued operation and maintenance of new and existing stream gauges: $84,690.00; totaling $98,390.00, plus applicable taxes. Funding for the 2006 monitoring season has been identified in the 2006 Preliminary Operating and Capital budget from the regions of Peel, York and Durham, the City of Toronto and the Remedial Action Plan.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) policy on travel requires Executive Committee approval for staff travel outside of the country on Authority business. 186 RATIONALE In 2005, the TRCA initiated a program to monitor natural channel design stream restoration projects in its jurisdiction, with funding support from the municipal partners and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The work plan for the project included the communication of project outcomes and results via conferences and publication of scientific papers. The 2006 AWRA conference is the premier forum in 2006 -2007 for the discussion of the adaptive management and monitoring of ecological restoration projects, and will be attended by agencies, academics, and policy makers from the United States, Canada and overseas. Staff submitted an abstract for a paper to be presented at the conference and included in the conference proceedings, which has been accepted by the AWRA conference organizing committee. The presentation and publication will provide an opportunity for the TRCA to communicate the methods developed for and results to date from the monitoring program, which is the first of its kind, to the wider water resources management community. There will also be the opportunity at the conference to discuss the program with other practitioners and researchers to obtain insight and recommendations based on their experiences. FINANCIAL DETAILS Costs to attend this conference including travel (by air), conference registration, meals and accommodations are estimated at $3,500.00. Funds are available in the project account 120 -41 in the amount of $2,750.00, with the remainder of costs to be paid personally by staff.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The Regional Municipality of York has formally requested a permanent easement for a sanitary effluent outfall sewer and wetland east of the 11th Concession Road as well as south of the closed end of the 11th Concession Road, south of King Road in the Township of King (located west of Nobleton). York Region, in cooperation with Slokker Canada Limited, is proceeding with detailed design of the proposed Nobleton Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP), the associated pumping station and forcemain, as well as the effluent outfall to the Humber River. The Nobleton WPCP is designed and sized to service the existing development in Nobleton together with the future growth area, including the Slokker development. The project was previously reviewed by TRCA Planning and Development staff through the Environmental Assessment (EA) Act process. The EA for the Nobleton WPCP was approved, with conditions, by the Ministry of Environment in 2003. The project is presently at the 50% design stage; the final design is expected to be completed in the very near future. The wetland and outfall are located within the Regional Storm flood plain as well as the Fill Regulated Area of the Humber River; the northern section of sewer pipe which will cross TRCA property is on tableland (currently under a farm lease) and not fill regulated. The portion of sewer pipe linking the two easements across TRCA lands will be routed within the 11th Concession Road Right -of -Way (see map). A permit application pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 will be included as a separate report and presented at a future Executive Committee meeting. In addition to the permanent easement, a temporary working easement may be required. Staff are presently discussing this matter with the project consultant. 202 The subject TRCA lands were acquired from Muriel Lamont (expropriated) on November 16, 1964, Frank Lundy Thompson on November 30, 1964, Charles Sutton on November 17, 1969, and Sidney Stolberg on October 8, 1971 under the Nashville Dam and Reservoir Acquisition Project. Plantings: All lands disturbed by construction will be stabilized and, where deemed appropriate by TRCA staff, revegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant material in accordance with existing TRCA landscaping guidelines. A landscape plan will be prepared and form part of the permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158. A plan illustrating the permanent easement location is attached. FINANCIAL DETAILS York Region has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing this transaction.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The Regional Municipality of Peel has formally requested a permanent easement for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a concrete headwall and gabion outfall structure, on TRCA -owned land on the south side of Mayfield Road between Summer Valley Drive and Colonel Bertram Road, City of Brampton. At Authority Meeting #7/03, held on September 26, 2003, the Authority approved the conveyance of certain TRCA -owned lands to the Regional Municipality of Peel for the widening and reconstruction of Mayfield Road between Summer Valley Drive and Colonel Bertram Road, together with a temporary grading /filling construction easement on TRCA lands as shown on the attached sketch. Due to design changes as a result of the review process, some of the grading /construction limits are now outside of the area originally identified. Also, there is a requirement for a storm sewer pipe and concrete headwall complete with an outfall structure to be constructed on TRCA -owned lands. Staff has had several meetings with officials from Peel Region to discuss a variety of issues including technical requirements relating to the construction to mitigate the impacts on TRCA -owned lands (as part of the widening and reconstruction), as well as terms of the proposed easement. Based on these discussions, TRCA staff is prepared to recommend a permanent easement be granted to the Regional Municipality of Peel on the basis outlined in this report. The subject TRCA -owned lands are part of larger holdings acquired from Stephen M. Dennis on July 11, 1974 and Stella and Mark Williamson on February 6, 1979, under the Etobicoke Creek Watershed component of the Land Acquisition Project. Plantings: All disturbed areas will be restored with native /non- invasive species following construction. There will be additional plantings associated with the compensation for fish habitat. These plantings will consist of approximately 58 trees, 640 shrubs and 336 live stakes within the Etobicoke Creek watershed. A plan illustrating the permanent easement location is attached. 206 FINANCIAL DETAILS The Regional Municipality of Peel has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing this transaction.

The purpose is to excavate and place fill (for 1050mm diameter watermain installation; for storm sewer installation, for road widening from 2 to 5 lanes) in a Regulated Area; to construct structures (Valve Chambers Nos.1 and 12, storm outfall, asphalt paving) within a Regional Storm Floodplain; to temporarily alter a watercourse (Berczy Creek) during the coldwater timing window (July 1 to September 15) through connecting a storm sewer outfall, and through an open cut crossing above the existing culvert with a watermain. The permit will be issued for the period of May 5, 2006 to May 4, 2008 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking (to provide revisions to engineering drawings and restoration plans); dated April 24, 2006; received April 24, 2006; signed by the Regional Municipality of York. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The entire proposal consists of road reconstruction and watermain installation on Major Mackenzie Drive from Woodbine Avenue in the west to Kennedy Road in the east. This file focuses on the regulated area surrounding Woodbine and Warden Avenues in the western section of the project. 219 The existing 2 -lane rural roadway will be widened to a 5 -lane urban section with concrete curb and gutter. A storm sewer system will be constructed including an outfall on the south -west quadrant of Major Mackenzie Drive and Warden Avenue. A 1050 mm diameter concrete pressure watermain will be constructed along the boulevard on the north side of Major Mackenzie Drive. The two proposed Valve Chambers in the Regional Storm Floodplain will be located on the north -east quadrant of Major Mackenzie Drive and Woodbine, and the north -west quadrant of Major Mackenzie Drive and Warden Avenue. At Warden Avenue there will be an open cut crossing of Berczy Creek, 2 metres above the existing culvert. Flows will be maintained within the existing culvert during watermain installation. There will be no in water works associated with this project. There is a regulated area surrounding Woodbine Avenue and Warden Avenue. There is a Regional Storm Floodplain surrounding the Berczy Creek near Warden Avenue. The project was reviewed by staff during the Environmental Assessment process in CFN 30494 for the entire section from Woodbine Avenue to Highway 48. The EA document was filed in November 2004 prior to the Greenbelt legislation coming into effect on December 16, 2004. Control of Flooding: The outfall will not have any implications to flooding. With this infrastructure project the proposed fill within the Regional Storm Floodplain will be minimized as much as possible, therefore, staff does note anticipate any impact on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters. Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (sediment fence, rock check dam) will be implemented to ensure that the construction - generated sediments do not enter the watercourse. Conservation of Land: There will be no in stream work associated with the project, therefore, there will be no concerns related to fish habitat loss. The proposed watermain will be installed 2 metres above the existing culvert in a trench. To prevent any sediments from entering the watercourse during installation of the watermain, a coldwater timing window restriction has been placed on the project. The timing window has been applied as well to the tie -in time of the storm outfall to the watercourse to ensure that the first flush of sediments does not enter Berczy Creek during spawning time. With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The proposed works will impact no significant terrestrial resource features. The Berczy Creek, on the north side only of Major Mackenzie Drive, west of Warden Avenue, is located within the Greenbelt. All permanent and intermittent streams in the Greenbelt are identified as Key Hydrologic Features. Section 4.2.1 of the Greenbelt Plan indicates in Subsection 2 e) that infrastructure may be permitted to cross Key Hydrologic Features (i.e. watercourses) provided that construction practices minimize the negative impacts on features and their functions. The watermain will cross the Berczy Creek overtop the existing culvert. This project has been reviewed under the Environmental Assessment Act, Ontario Regulation 158 and under the Fisheries Act for the tests and best management practices. 220 Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with native /non- invasive species following construction. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to alter a waterway, construct in a flood plain, and excavate and place fill within a Fill Regulated Area of the Humber River to facilitate the construction of a driveway at 4 Ava Place in the City of Vaughan. The driveway construction will include the placement of fill, the installation of a culvert, and the construction of armourstone retaining walls in the vicinity of the culvert. The permit will be issued for the period of May 5, 2006 to May 4, 2008. • Letter of Undertaking indicating that minor revisions will be made to the engineering and landscape plans to the satisfaction of the TRCA, signed by Lino D'Uva, dated May 2, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal involves the construction of a driveway to access a single detached residential dwelling currently under construction on an existing lot of record within a registered plan of subdivision. The subdivision was approved in 1986, before the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program was in place. The subject property contains a portion of the valley corridor of a Humber River tributary. The building envelope on the subject lot was established through the subdivision's implementing zoning by -law, so that only a portion of the lot can be developed. The envelope was staked by TRCA staff in 1986, and facilitates the protection of the majority of the vegetation in the riparian zone of the tributary. An application to facilitate the construction of the single detached residential dwelling, garage, septic system and access driveway on the property was previously approved by the Executive Committee on September 9, 2005 (Permit No. C- 05402). The previously approved works, with the exception of the access driveway, were restricted to the approved building envelope. The current permit application was submitted to facilitate the final driveway construction, which includes the crossing of the tributary. The driveway construction will include the placement of fill, the installation of a culvert, and the construction of armourstone retaining walls in the vicinity of the culvert. The final driveway alignment will coincide with the approximate location of the previously approved access driveway. Control of Flooding: TRCA Water Management staff have reviewed the proposal and are satisfied that there will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained throughout construction to prevent sediment from entering the watercourse. 237 Conservation of Land: TRCA staff are satisfied that there will be no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed driveway construction. Further, the project does not constitute a Harmful Alteration, Destruction, or Disruption of Fish Habitat and, therefore, an Authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is not required. Staff will issue a Letter of Advice to the proponent on behalf of DFO. There are no other significant natural features on, or adjacent to, the site that may be negatively impacted by the project. Plantings A planting plan has been prepared for the areas adjacent to the proposed driveway and elsewhere on the subject property to the satisfaction of TRCA Planning Ecology staff. Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2 - Existing Development - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The permit will be issued for the period of May 5, 2006 to May 4, 2008. • Letter of Undertaking signed by T. Randy Pickle, P.Eng., dated March 20, 2006, committing, on behalf of the Town of Ajax, to revise drawings and reports to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to place and remove fill within a Fill Regulated Area and construct in the Regional Storm Flood Plain in order to facilitate the construction of a two lane bridge as part of Williamson Drive over the Carruthers Creek. The proposed works form part of a larger developing residential area located southwest of the intersections of Taunton Road and Audley road in the Town of Ajax. Williamson drive is a new mid -block collector road that will service a new residential community known as Hamptstock. The proposed bridge is to be constructed of single -span precast concrete girders with a span of 40 meters across the Carruthers Creek at the location of the bridge deck. An opening of 37.5 meters is to be provided from the bridge abutments and fill slopes along the valley floor. The road and bridge embankments are proposed to be built within the valleylands of the creek and will require the placement of fill and the removal of the existing vegetation. Control of Flooding: TRCA engineering staff have reviewed the proposal and the associated hydraulic modeling and have determined that the proposed crossing structure is appropriately designed to convey the Carruthers Creek Regional Storm Flood flows. The design results in a negligible increase in upstream flood plain elevations but this will not impact any existing or proposed development. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be in place for the duration of construction in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse. Conservation of Land: There are no slope stability or geotechnical concerns with the proposed bridge. TRCA ecology staff have completed a preliminary assessment of potential fisheries impacts from the proposed bridge and will make a final determination regarding the potential for a Harmful Alteration Disruption or Destruction of fish habitat, prior to the issuance of the permit. Plantings The road embankments leading to the bridge are to be stabilized and planted. Additional plantings are to take place in the vicinity of the proposed bridge. 243 Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to construct within the Regulatory Floodplain, and a Fill Regulated area associated with the Rouge River watershed, to facilitate modifications to Fred Varley Park in the Town of Markham. The permit will be issued for the period of May 5, 2006 to May 4, 2008. • Letter of undertaking provided by Neal Unsworth, City of Markham, dated May 5, 2006, to address all outstanding TRCA Engineering and Ecology issues prior to issuance of the permit. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 245 Proposal: This permit application is to permit minor modifications to an existing municipal park (Fred Varley Park), located on the southwest corner of Fred Varley Drive, and Main Street, in the Town of Markham. This proposal involves planting approximately 30 trees and shrubs, and several hundred native and non - native, non - invasive grasses and plants to form a themed, vegetative maze. Flagstone, rock and some concrete will be utilized to provide a defined walkway within the maze. All concrete blocks and flagstone is to be located at grade, and thus will not pose an impediment to flood flows. Some rocks and fill will be utilized to create focal points of interest, while minor regrading will be completed to direct minor surface stormwater flows around the maze. While only minor grade modifications will result from this proposal, this project provides for the lowering of an adjacent grassed area, which will roughly balance the existing and proposed ground elevations over the site. Existing trees will be maintained and utilized as components of the maze. The subject lands are located within a gently sloping portion of the valley corridor, and the proposed plant maze will be located a minimum of 6 metres from the edge of the more defined valley corridor. No structures or infrastructure are proposed with this project. Control of Flooding: The proposed works will occur within the Regulatory Floodplain, and minor modifications to the existing grade will result from this project. However, consideration has been given in this project to removing an equivalent amount of fill to that which is being added as a result of this project. Consequently, TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed works will not significantly affect the flow and /or conveyance of floodwaters. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures have been proposed with this application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical or fisheries concerns with respect to this proposal, and no significant natural areas will be adversely affected as a result of this project. Plantings Aesthetic plantings are proposed as the main component of this project. The area in which the maze is proposed is currently grass covered, and no significant vegetation will be removed as a result of this project. Disturbed areas outside of the maze will be restored to pre- construction condition. Policy Guidelines: The works are consistent with Section 4.1.2 - New Resource -based Uses of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal involves the excavation and placement of fill and construction within the Regional Storm Floodplain and the Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed, to facilitate the construction of a two- storey detached residential dwelling. The property does not maintain any existing development but is located within the Special Policy Area (SPA) of the Lake Wilcox community and therefore, development is permitted provided the development is adequately set back from the hydraulic floodway and is flood proofed above the Regional Storm Flood Plain elevation, or if not technically feasible the 350 Year Storm event. The property is located within an existing Plan of Subdivision and is surrounded by residential development. 249 Control of Flooding: The proposed works will be flood proofed above the 350 year storm elevation. The applicant has submitted a letter from a structural engineer stating that the proposed structure will withstand the depths and velocity expected under a Regional Storm event. TRCA staff is satisfied that there will be no impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood waters due to the construction of the residence. Pollution: A sediment control fence will be installed and maintained until all works have been completed. Conservation of Land: TRCA staff are satisfied that there are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. There will be no in stream works associated with this project and therefore no fisheries concerns. There are no other significant natural features that may be negatively impacted by the project. Plantings The project will not affect any significant natural features. All disturbed areas will be restored to existing conditions upon completion of the project. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.1 (B) - Development Guidelines for Development/Redevelopment within Designated Two Zone Areas or Special Policy Areas - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Moved by: Seconded by: Frank Dale Suzan Hall THAT Gerri Lynn O'Connor be appointed as an additional alternate member from Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to Conservation Ontario Council, for the remainder of the current term of appointment to TRCA, or until her successor is appointed. CARRIED 250 BACKGROUND Conservation Ontario is an umbrella organization representing all 36 conservation authorities which brings together over 800 members and 1,000 staff working together to achieve common goals. Conservation Ontario is governed by a council consisting of two representatives of each Authority. Council directs the activities of the staff and a variety of working groups, task forces and committees focusing on various areas of common interest to all conservation authorities. THAT Chair Dick O'Brien and Mr. Brian Denney, Chief Administrative Officer, be appointed as Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) representative and alternate, respectively, to Conservation Ontario;... It has been TRCA's practice for many years to have the Chair designated as the Authority's voting representative and the Chief Administrative Officer as the alternate for a 3 year term. However, staff is of the opinion that it is important to have an Authority member present at Conservation Ontario Council meetings as a voting member and therefore recommend the appointment of Vice Chair, Gerri Lynn O'Connor as an alternate should Chair, Dick O'Brien be unable to attend, for the remainder of the term.

Dave Ryan Frank Dale THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT authorization be given to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff to obtain Party Status before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) regarding: 1) a decision respecting the Town of Ajax Official Plan, 2) a Zoning By -law Amendment; 3) a Subdivision Application; and 4) any other associated applications under the Planning Act, to permit a residential development on Part of Lot 17, Concession 3 (north of Rossland Road, west of Church Street) in the Town of Ajax, that are not in conformity with the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP); THAT staff continue to work cooperatively with the Region of Durham, Town of Ajax and the appellants to ensure that the requirements of the VSCMP are met; THAT staff be authorized to retain legal counsel to pursue this appeal before the OMB; AND FURTHER THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so advised. CARRIED 270 BACKGROUND The subject property is an 8.2 hectare parcel located between Rossland Road West to the south, the Ajax / Pickering border to the west, a Hydro Corridor to the north and currently undeveloped farmland associated with the Area A9 Secondary Plan to the east. The property is located in the Duffins Creek watershed. The subject property is currently undeveloped and includes the following significant natural features: 1) mature deciduous and conferous forest; 2) wetland; 3) the main Urfe Creek cold water stream corridor; 4) three tributaries feeding Urfe Creek; 5) regionally rare plants; 6) area sensitive breeding birds; and 7) regionally uncommon /scarce breeding birds. A large portion of the property is subject to Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses). The Planning Act applications have been put forth to permit development of a twenty -nine (29) lot detached residential subdivision. In order to proceed with the development, the following approvals are required under the Planning Act: • A negative decision by the Regional Muncipality of Durham on the Town of Ajax's proposal to designate the subject property as Environmental Protection in the Ajax Official Plan. The decision was deferred pending the completion of an Environmental Impact Study (EIS). This EIS has been completed and shows that a majority of the site has a high constraint to development. • A Zoning By -law Amendment to implement a 29 lot detached residential subdivision. • A Draft Plan of Subdivision. In addition to various other concerns put forth by the Town of Ajax, the proposed development will result in extensive vegetation removal, three watercourse crossings and development lots located at top of bank along areas with slopes that may be unstable without an appropriate buffer in public ownership. The subject property is part of an important north -south ecological connection along the Urfe Creek valley system. It is TRCA staffs opinion that the proposal does not meet the intent of the Provincial Policy Statement or TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. The proposal is antithetical to the progressive planning efforts for Seaton, Duffins Heights and the Town of Ajax Area A9 Secondary Plan. RATIONALE The applications have been appealed to the OMB by the applicant. The Town of Ajax is supportive of TRCA's objectives to protect the natural heritage features and functions on these lands. A pre- hearing conference has been set by the OMB for July 14, 2006. Given the complexity of the issues, TRCA staff require legal counsel to attend the pre- hearing conference. The length of the actual hearing is unknown. However, TRCA staff will work with legal counsel in an attempt to have the hearing dismissed. 271 DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff are requesting authorization of the Authority to obtain Party Status at the OMB and retain legal counsel in order to uphold the policies of the VSCMP. Planning and Development staff and legal counsel will attend the pre- hearing conference on July 14, 2006 and pursue a resolution to the issues prior to any hearing.

Dave Ryan Frank Dale THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff be authorized to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Black Creek Conservation Project and provide in -kind support, including technical, administrative and financial services, to facilitate the effective delivery of their work subject to the Black Creek Conservation Project receiving operating funds from EcoAction or other sources. CARRIED BACKGROUND For the past 25 years, the Black Creek Conservation Project (BCP) has been working to restore, protect and preserve the ecological health of the Black Creek subwatershed. Through volunteer events and community outreach and education initiatives, the Black Creek Conservation Project works to foster community stewardship of the creek. BCP stewardship initiatives over the past decade include the "Caring for your Watershed" program, the "Clean the Creek" program and the "Partnerships in Restoration" program. These programs have helped to engage literally thousands of community volunteers and students in the restoration and conservation of the Black Creek. Some of the BCP's major accomplishments over the past 22 years include the planting of over 30,000 native trees and shrubs throughout the watershed, planting thousands of native wildflowers and aquatic plants, establishing numerous school yard naturalization projects, constructing four wetlands, preserving a large woodlot in Vaughan, and establishing several erosion control structures. The BCP has also improved and encouraged public enjoyment of naturalized areas by constructing several hundred metres of trail and installing numerous interpretive signs along the creek. Capacity building within the community has been a major focus of the BCP, and helping their partners to become more independent in their stewardship of the creek is the main focus of the BCP's former "Partnerships in Restoration" program. The BCP is also working towards their next program, the "Black Creek Restoration Coalition Program" which builds on the groundwork laid over the last 25 years. This program seeks to combine the energies and knowledge of partnering community organizations and schools that have committed components of their programs to the restoration of Black Creek. 274 The work of the BCP has contributed to many of the goals, and upholds many of the ideals shared by TRCA. Indeed, the BCP and TRCA have maintained a long and productive partnership history. For their dedicated service to protecting and restoring the Black Creek subwatershed, TRCA has, in the past, provided in -kind services to support the project. These services include office space, work station equipment, technical, administrative and financial management assistance. Staff recommends that these services continue to be offered to the BCP to support the delivery of their projects including tree planting, wetland creation, trails, and environmental, stewardship and community outreach activities. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE • Negotiate the terms and conditions of a Memorandum of Agreement between TRCA and the Black Creek Conservation Project. • BCP to develop, plan and implement all elements of the project. • BCP to continue to seek additional funding from a variety of sources to match the EcoAction contribution. • TRCA to provide general technical, administrative and financial in -kind support. FINANCIAL DETAILS BCP anticipates receiving $67,700, over two years, from the federally- sponsored EcoAction program. They will use this as leverage to access other funding sources to enhance their deliverables.

Hiring Pollara Strategic Public Opinion and Market Research to undertake market research of public awareness, public attitudes and public behavioural patterns related to environmental, heritage and recreation issues in the Humber River watershed. Moved by: Seconded by: Suzan Hall Michael Di Biase THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Pollara Strategic Public Opinion and Market Research be hired to undertake market research on public awareness, public attitudes and public behavioural patterns related to environmental, heritage and recreation issues in the Humber River watershed, at a cost not to exceed $22,500, plus GST; 275 AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect hereto, in cluding the execution of any documents. RECORDED VOTE Maria Augimeri Yea Frank Dale Yea Michael Di Biase Yea Rob Ford Nay Suzan Hall Yea Dick O'Brien Yea Dave Ryan Yea THE MOTION WAS CARRIED BACKGROUND The Humber Watershed Alliance released A Report Card on the Health of the Humber River Watershed in 2000. This award - winning document provided an initial assessment of the health of the Humber River watershed using a set of indicators. Part of the research for the original report card was a public opinion survey to determine the level of awareness, attitudes and environmental related behaviours of watershed residents. This information was critical to reporting on some of the indicators, including Outdoor Recreation, Community Stewardship and the Sustainable Use of Resources. A duplicate market research effort is recommended at this time to determine the extent to which public awareness, attitudes and environmental related behaviours may have changed over the past six years. The results of the market research will be used in the following ways: • provide information for inclusion in future watershed report cards such as changes in public attitudes and awareness regarding environmental issues, the work of TRCA, sustainable living practices and volunteerism; • provide research information for the development of communication strategies; and, • direct future programs and work plans of TRCA, the Humber Watershed Alliance and other volunteer task forces. Five market research consultants were asked to review the terms of reference and submit quotes to conduct a public opinion survey and market research. Quotes were based on 25 questions. The survey shall: • use a statistically reliable sample size reflected in two geographic areas: urban area (south of King Road /Mayfield Road); and rural area (north of King Road /Mayfield Road); • analyze differences between socio- demographic groups (age, gender, ethnicity, income, location); 276 • compare results to Statistics Canada data to ensure reliability and complete representativeness; • pre -test the survey instrument to ensure that the logic flows smoothly and the questions are clear to the respondents and interviewers; • provide in -depth strategic analysis, recommendations and conclusions in PowerPoint format with embedded speaker notes and full colour graphic illustrations.

The purpose is to conduct site grading, interfere with a watercourse, temporarily place, dump and /or remove fill material from the subject property and construct a structure within a Regulated Area of the Don River, in order to facilitate the development of an automobile gas bar with a car wash, convenience store and a drive - through eating establishment as well as an associated stormwater outfall. The permit will be issued for the period of June 9, 2006 to June 8, 2008 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Red -Line Revised - Proposed Site Servicing Plan, Drawing No. 88003515 -03P, prepared by Amec, Revision No. 5, revised May 12, 2006, received May 19, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading, interfere with a watercourse, temporarily place, dump and /or remove fill material from the subject site and to construct a structure within a Regulated Area of the Don River, in order to facilitate the development of an automobile gas bar with a car wash, convenience store and a drive - through eating establishment along with an associated storm outfall. The subject property is located on the northwest corner of Dufferin Street and Major Mackenzie Drive, in the City of Vaughan. The subject property is approximately 0.70 ha (1.74 acres) in size and is designated 'General Commercial' within the Waste Disposal Assessment Area' of OPA # 332, as amended by OPA # 535 (Maple Valley Plan). Furthermore, the lands are currently zoned C1(H) Restricted Commercial with a holding provision in place, by Zoning By -law 1 -88. 306 Previously, TRCA staff had commented on related OPA and Zoning Amendment Applications OP.97.010 and Z.97.041 in 1997 and noted that there were no objections to the proposed gas bar use. Authority staff has also commented on a recently submitted site plan application for the subject property (DA.05.025). This site plan was conditionally approved by TRCA staff. It is noted that the proposed gas bar facility is located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain, but within the Regulated Area of the Don River. A 10 m buffer has been established from the Regional Storm Flood Plain (located at the northeast corner of the site), with a minor encroachment in the 10 m buffer (approximately 1 metre) by the proposed drive - through driveway. In addition to the buffer from the Regional Storm Flood Plain, a 14 m environmental buffer strip has been established from the adjacent valley corridor, located to the north of the subject site. It is also noted that an associated storm outfall is proposed off the subject property, on lands owned by the applicant (York Major Holdings Ltd.). The outfall is located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Don River, but it is not expected that the outfall will impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters. The application was submitted and reviewed under Ontario Regulation 158 (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation). The application was also reviewed to ensure consistency with Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses), which came into effect May 8, 2006 and replaced Ontario Regulation 158. Control of Flooding: The proposed gas bar facility is located on tableland and is located sufficiently away from the Regional Storm Flood Plain. The proposed outfall is located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, however, Authority staff is satisfied that it will not impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be implemented prior to initiation of construction and maintained for the duration of the works to ensure that sediment does not enter the nearby watercourse and valley corridor. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the subject application. The proposed works are not expected to result in a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. As such, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for the discharge of storm flows to the watercourse from the proposed outfall. No other significant natural features will be impacted by the proposed works. Plantings A landscape planting plan will be implemented in accordance with TRCA Planting Guidelines. This will result is extensive plantings throughout the environmental buffer strip and decorative landscaping on the southeast corner of the subject site. 307 Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development and Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to construct buildings and implement site grading for the purpose of developing eight townhouse units and associated servicing. The subject property is located on the north side of Rossland Road, east of Church Street and on tableland associated with the East Duffins Creek valley. 308 The application was submitted and reviewed under Ontario Regulation 158, (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation). The application was also reviewed to ensure consistency with Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses), which came into effect May 8, 2006 and replaced Ontario Regulation 158. Control of Flooding. The proposal is not located in the Regional Storm Floodplain and will have no impact on the control of flooding. Pollution: A temporary sediment, erosion and tree protection fence will be installed to prevent construction debris from entering the watercourse. Conservation of Land: The proposal includes a buffer from the new townhouse Tots to accommodate any potential impacts to the slope from toe erosion. The proposed townhouse units are located 10 metres from the established top of bank. As such, there are no geotechnical issues with the proposal. Some tree removal on the tableland to accommodate the new townhouse structures and associated grading is proposed. Vegetation associated with the slopes and buffers will be preserved. Plantings Native plantings will be provided in the buffer area to be conveyed to TRCA. Policy Guidelines: The proposal was subject to various planning approvals since the early 1990's. As a result of these approvals, land from the top of bank down to the valley floor was conveyed to the TRCA but the townhouse development was never constructed. The latest proposal is essentially in keeping with these past approvals and the applicant has agreed to convey additional land in the buffer adjacent to the top of bank into TRCA ownership. Given the past approvals and that the townhouse units are located 10 metres from the top of bank, the proposal is consistent with Policy 4.1., New Development, of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The permit will be issued for the period of June 9, 2006 to June 8, 2008. • Letter of undertaking provided by Darren Steedman, Metrus Developments, dated June 7, 2006, to address all outstanding TRCA Ecology and Engineering comments, in addition to those of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, prior to the issuance of the permit. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This permit is one of six presently before the Executive Committee for works on the proposed " Springdale 902" residential subdivision, located on the west side of Bramalea Road, south of Countryside Drive, in the City of Brampton. Development within this area is guided by a Master Drainage Plan that identifies servicing requirements to facilitate development within this area. Permits required for this proposal relate to channel, infrastructure crossings of the watercourse, and stormwater management works. This application is to permit the construction of a road crossing of the H2 Tributary of the Humber River with a watermain crossing at the same location. The proposed infrastructure crossing will be completed in concert with the proposed culvert crossing to reduce impacts of these works on this area of the watercourse. The location and conceptual design of the proposed road culvert crossing was considered in the earlier review of the associated 326 subdivision application. The applicant is proposing to utilize an 11 metre culvert, which will adequately accommodate Regional Storm flows. As the applicant is proposing to reconstruct this section of the H2 watercourse in this location (the permit for which is also presently before the Executive Committee) the siting of the bridge will have regard for the proposed natural channel design of the restored channel, while the proposed channel design adjacent to, and underneath the bridge will take into consideration the nature of the proposed crossing. This crossing will facilitate the extension of Father Tobin Road, east of Bramalea Road, through the subject property. The proposed watermain crossings will be completed within areas to be disturbed by the proposed culvert crossing, and channel modifications. Construction will be of short duration, and all works within or adjacent to the H2 tributary will be completed within the appropriate Fisheries Timing Window. The application was submitted and reviewed under Ontario Regulation 158 (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation). The application was also reviewed to ensure consistency with Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses), which came into effect May 8, 2006 and replaced Ontario Regulation 158. Control of Flooding: The proposed works will occur within the Regional Storm Floodplain, however, based on the design submitted, no significant modifications to the storage and conveyance of stream and storm flows are anticipated. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be put in place, and the work environment will be isolated during construction to reduce the impact on surrounding features. All vegetation affected during the construction process will be restored to pre- construction condition, in association with the comprehensive valleyland restoration works to be completed as a component of the associated permit for the lowering of the H2 watercourse in this location. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation or geotechnical concerns exist with respect to this application. Fisheries concerns will be addressed through the application of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Fisheries Timing Window. Plantings Affected lands will be restored to pre- construction condition in accordance with the approved restoration plans. The density and volume of species will be maximized in these areas to improve upon existing conditions. Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. 327 CFN: 37372 - Application #: 051 /06 /BRAM Report Prepared by: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 For information contact: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 Date: May 31, 2006 8.1.35 HERMOSA DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED & 669676 ONTARIO LIMITED To alter a waterway, construct in a flood plain, place fill within a regulated area on Part Lot 14, 15, Concession 5 EHS, in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Hermosa Developments Limited & 669676 Ontario Limited.

The permit will be issued for the period of June 9, 2006 to June 8, 2008. • Letter of undertaking provided by Darren Steedman, Metrus Developments, dated June 7, 2006, to address all outstanding TRCA Ecology and Engineering comments, in addition to those of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, prior to the issuance of the permit. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This permit is-one of six presently before the Executive Committee for works on the proposed " Springdale 902" residential subdivision, located on the west side of Bramalea Road, south of Countryside Drive, in the City of Brampton. Development within this area is guided by a Master Drainage Plan that identifies servicing requirements to facilitate development within this area. As a result of the drainage on the subject property, and those directly upstream, a section of the H2 tributary of the Humber River (approximately 875 metres in length), which traverses the subject property, must be lowered. This section will be reconstructed using natural channel design techniques, and will incorporate a comprehensive stream restoration and enhancement plan. The proposed lowering of the watercourse, and the requisite stormwater management works for the Hermosa Developments project will require several TRCA permits. The subject permit application is to permit alterations to the H2 watercourse, which include lowering, regrading - and reconstruction of the stream corridor in this location. Once lowered, the stream will be reconstructed using natural channel design measures, which will provide for enhancements to the stream function in this location. All works are to be completed in the dry, utilizing a temporary diversion channel, which will convey stream flows during the construction of the new channel. A permit (Permit No. C- 06128) for the construction of the temporary diversion channel was approved by the Executive Committee at the April 7, 2006 meeting. This permit will include grading works directly adjacent to the stream corridor within the Regulated area. 328 The proposed works will constitute a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of Fish Habitat, in accordance with the Federal Fisheries Act, and will require Authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). DFO is presently in the process of reviewing the application, and a TRCA permit will not be issued for these works until such time as an Authorization from DFO has been issued. All proposed alterations to the watercourse will be completed within the prescribed Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Fisheries Timing Window. The application was submitted and reviewed under Ontario Regulation 158 (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation). The application was also reviewed to ensure consistency with Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses), which came into effect May 8, 2006 and replaced Ontario Regulation 158. Control of Flooding: The proposed works will occur within the Regional Storm Floodplain, and will make modifications to the existing Regional Storm Floodplain. As a component of this application, the proponent has modelled the pre and post construction flood levels, and has identified that any alterations to the floodplain in this area will be localized and will not extend beyond the Hermosa Developments subdivision. All development within the subdivision has been appropriately set -back from the post construction floodlines. Given the above, TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposal will not result in any significant modifications to flood flows or storage within this area. Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures will be put in place and maintained during the construction, and operational phases. All work will be completed under dry conditions, with stream flows diverted temporarily during the construction phase. Conservation of Land: In -water works are proposed with this permit, however, impacts will be minimized through the proposed diversion measures, through adherence to the Fisheries Timing Window Restrictions, and the requisite approvals from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). There are no geotechnical concerns with this proposal. Plantings A comprehensive valleyland restoration plan has been created for the area in which the proposed works will occur. This restoration plan involves the planting and restoration of all areas disturbed within the valley corridor. Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. 329 CFN: 37371 - Application #: 052 /06 /BRAM Report Prepared by: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 For information contact: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 Date: May 31, 2006 8.1.36 HERMOSA DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED & 669676 ONTARIO LIMITED To alter a waterway on Part Lot 14, 15, Concession 5 EHS, in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Hermosa Developments Limited & 669676 Ontario Limited.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose is to construct and grade within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed to facilitate the construction of an entrance to service a proposed two- storey office /warehouse building at 7540 Jane Street in the City of Vaughan, north west of Jane Street and Interchange Way. The subject property was previously situated outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain and the Fill Regulated Area under Ontario Regulation 158. However, based on recent data for the Humber River tributary on the east side of Jane Street, TRCA staff notes that the subject property is now partially situated within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and is thus regulated pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06. The Regional Storm Flood Plain affects the subject property in the area of the proposed entrance from Jane Street. Although the entrance from Jane Street is located within the flood plain, staff notes that there is an alternate safe entrance /exit from the property onto Interchange Way. Further, staff notes that the proposed encroachment into the flood plain associated with the grading for the entrance is minor. In light of the above, TRCA Water Management staff has no concerns with this application from a flood plain perspective. There are no other significant natural features on, or adjacent to, the site that may be negatively impacted by the project. 340 Control of Flooding: The proposed encroachment into the Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with the grading for the proposed entrance is minor. TRCA staff is satisfied that the proposed works will have minimal impact on the storage and conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: A sediment and erosion control plan will be implemented and maintained for the duration of construction, so that sedimentation of the watercourse will not occur. Run -off from the subject property will be directed through sewers into a storm water management pond, which has been sized to accommodate the proposed development. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed development. As the watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. There are no other significant natural features on, or adjacent to, the site that may be negatively impacted by the project. Plantings The proposed development will not affect any significant natural features. All disturbed areas will be restored to existing conditions upon completion of the project. Policy Guidelines: The subject property was previously situated outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain and the Fill Regulated Area under Ontario Regulation 158. Recent data for the watercourse indicates that the lot is now partially within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and is thus regulated pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06. The proposal does not meet all of the requirements of Section 4.2 (i.e. new development should not be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain); however, staff notes that the proposed encroachment into the flood plain associated with the grading for the entrance is minor and that there is an alternate safe entrance /exit from the subject property.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading and permit the temporary/permanent removal and dumping of fill material within the Regulated Area of the East Don River, in order to facilitate the installation of a sanitary sewer to service the development of Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. The proposed sewer is located along the southern boundary of the Thornhill Ravine Development Corporation Lands (Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 19T- 03V01, formerly known as Venturon Development). The works will cross through the valley and under the watercourse of the western tributary of the East Don River. Planning Block 11 is bounded by Major Mackenzie Drive to the north, Bathurst Street to the east, Dufferin Street to the west and Rutherford Road to south. The proposed works are in accordance with the approved Block 11 Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP). Previously, TRCA technical staff walked the proposed alignment for the sanitary connection with the applicant's consultants, Schaeffers Consulting Engineers. A preferred alignment was selected which limited the removal of significant vegetation and which minimized the impacts to the valley corridor and watercourse. The majority of the works will be carried out through an open cut method, into the valley. Approximately 70 metres from the watercourse, directional drilling under the watercourse will be employed to facilitate the completion of the sanitary sewer crossing. Once completed, the sanitary sewer will traverse through the valley and under the watercourse, to connect with an existing sanitary sewer within the proposed residential subdivision, on the overall subject property. Authority staff has received and reviewed detailed technical submissions related to the proposed works and has commented appropriately. The agent, Schaeffers Consulting Engineers, on behalf of the applicant is in the process of addressing Authority comments. At this time, there remain minor issues relating to the proposed dewatering program and the treatment of nearby vegetation. TRCA staff is confident that these issues can be resolved shortly. It is noted that these issues in no way affect the location of the proposed works. The permit will not be released until such time as these issues are satisfactorily resolved. The application was submitted and reviewed under Ontario Regulation 158 (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation). The application was also reviewed to ensure consistency with Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses), which came into effect May 8, 2006 and replaced Ontario Regulation 158. 342 Control of Flooding: The proposed sanitary sewer will be located underground. Nonetheless, the works have been reviewed by TRCA technical staff to ensure that the storage and conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted. It is anticipated that the control of flooding will not be affected. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be implemented prior to the initiation of works and maintained for the duration of the project to ensure that sediment does not enter the watercourse and adjacent valley corridor. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. The proposed works will not involve in- stream works, however, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for the directional drilling portion of the works. While vegetation will be removed as part of this application, it was ensured that this vegetation was not significant (i.e., shrubs). Plantings Extensive restoration plantings plans will be implemented in accordance with TRCA Planting Guidelines, in order to restore areas where vegetation were removed to facilitate the installation of the proposed works. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

RATIONALE _ The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to construct a structure within a Regulated Area of the Don River and to permit the temporary /permanent removal and /or dumping of fill material, in order to allow for the construction of a telecommunications tower /flag pole and associated equipment box /shelter near the northwest corner of Dufferin Street and Major Mackenzie Drive, in the City of Vaughan. The proposed telecommunications tower is located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain, but within the Regulated Area of the Don River. The associated equipment box is within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. However, Authority staff has determined that given the small size of the proposed equipment box, that the impact to flooding will be minimal. The proposed telecommunications towers is approximately 35 m high while the equipment box is 1.73 m x 1.17 m x 1.52 m. Control of Flooding: While the proposed equipment box is located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, Authority staff believes that its impact to the storage or conveyance of flood waters will be minimal given its small size. Pollution: Sediment and erosion controls will be erected prior to start of construction and maintained for the duration of the works to ensure sediment does not enter the nearby watercourse and valley corridor. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability concerns associated with the works. Furthermore, no in- stream works are proposed as part of this application. Therefore, fish habitat will not be impacted. No other significant natural features will be affected by the proposed works. Plantings A landscape planting plan will be implemented in accordance with TRCA Planting Guidelines.

The purpose is to alter a watercourse, construct in the Regional Storm Flood Plain and place fill within a Fill Regulated Area in order to rehabilitate a stormwater sewer outfall that has failed. The permit will be issued for the period of June 9, 2006 to June 8, 2008. • Letter of Undertaking from Mr. Randy Pickle, P.Eng., TSH, committing to provide revisions to drawings to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This proposal involves the alteration of a watercourse, construction in the Regional Storm Flood Plain and the placement of fill within a Fill Regulated Area in order to rehabilitate a storm sewer outfall that has failed. The outfall is located on the east side of Westney Road south of Magill Drive and provides an outlet to the Duffins Creek for a large developed area that is not controlled by a stormwater management pond. There is no opportunity to provide stormwater quantity and quality control at this location. At some point last year, large stormwater flows damaged the headwall of the outfall due, in part to the accumulation of debris within the outfall grate. As a result, the Town of Ajax proposes to repair the outfall with a design that would be less likely to fail in the future. Proposed works include the reconnection of a portion of cast concrete culvert that has become detached from the outlet pipe, the removal of the existing gabion head wall and its replacement with a new headwall and embankments. The application was submitted and reviewed under Ontario Regulation 158, (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation). The application was also reviewed for consistency with Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses), which came into effect May 8, 2006 and replaced Ontario Regulation 158. Control of Flooding: The proposed outfall has been designed to safely convey flood flows and will not affect the control of flooding. Pollution: A removals plan and appropriate sediment and erosion controls will be established to ensure that construction- generated sediment will be prevented from entering the watercourse. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechincal issues associated with this proposal. This proposal is not located in an area with significant natural heritage features. In -water works will be required during the repair. Staff will issue a letter of advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) with this permit, as a DFO authorization pursuant to the Fisheries Act (Canada) was not required. All disturbed areas.will be stabilized following construction. Plantings Following construction, all disturbed areas are proposed to be restored and stabilized. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

The purpose is to alter a watercourse and construct within a TRCA Regulated Area in order to facilitate the removal and replacement of a breached closed bottom culvert. The permit will be issued for the period of June 9, 2006 to June 8, 2008. • Construction Plan, prepared by J. Endeman, dated May 23, 2006, redline revised by TRCA Planning and Development staff June 6, 2006, to address minor revisions, stamped received by TRCA Planning and Development staff May 23, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 359 Proposal: The purpose of this application is to alter a watercourse and construct within a TRCA Regulated Area in order to facilitate the removal and replacement of a breached 1.2 metre (4 ft.) closed bottom culvert at 6905 Highway 9, just west of Centreville Creek Road, in the Town of Caledon. The failed culvert caused a portion of the access road to collapse and access to the existing residential dwelling has been compromised. An inspection was completed by TRCA staff to assess the extent of damage and works required. As a result of the failed culvert, sedimentation of the watercourse has occurred. Any further failure to the existing culvert would result in additional sedimentation. As such, an emergency works approval has been issued for these works. A temporary coffer dam is to be installed to prevent the migration of construction generated sediment into the watercourse and allow for the works to occur in the dry. The emergency works protocol stipulates that works are typically temporary in nature and designed to stabilize the emergency situation. A long -term solution typically must replace the temporary works. In an effort to reduce the amount of in -water construction and potential prolonged environmental impacts, a long -term solution was reviewed and approved through the emergency works. A larger open bottom culvert to replace the failed culvert is the approved long -term solution. Control of Flooding: The temporary coffer dams will be in place for Tess than 48 hours (i.e., necessary time to complete works) and no impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated. TRCA Water Resources staff has confirmed that the culvert replacement provides an increase in hydraulic conveyance capacity and the works are anticipated to improve the control of flooding for this reach of the Humber River Watershed. Pollution: In addition to the temporary coffer dams, silt fencing will be erected and maintained throughout all phases of construction in order to prevent the migration of construction generated sediment. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. The construction area is currently a manicured lawn. There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns related to this proposal. The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) approved an exemption to the construction timing window guidelines and the requirements under the Lakes and Rivers Improvements Act (LRIA). In addition, TRCA staff has determined that this proposal will not constitute a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. As such, a Letter of Advice (LOA) on behalf of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be issued with this permit. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored using a TRCA approved seed mix. In addition, all proposed species will be native and non - invasive.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The York Region District School Board seeks permission to alter a waterway, construct in the Regional Storm Flood Plain and place fill within a Fill Regulated Area in order to establish an access driveway, sports fields, pedestrian trail, recreated wetland, restored riparian zone, stormwater management facility and outfall associated with the development of the Markham Centre High School for Athletics and Healthy Active Living. The new school is proposed on lands of the former Unionville Fairways golf course. The site is located within the Markham Centre East Precinct Plan west of Main Street Unionville, south of the Rouge River, north of the future Enterprise Boulevard and east of the GO Transit rail line. Of the 12.4 hectare in total site size, 8.1 hectares are considered to be valleylands. The school building and parking facilities are proposed to be built on the remaining 4.3 hectares of table land. Proposed within the valleylands portion of the site are: the primary access road to the school, three sports fields the stormwater management facilities, a pedestrian trail and an extensive recreated riparian zone. Portions of the access road, the sports fields, and stormwater management pond are located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. The school building and parking areas are removed from the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Revised Regional and 100 year flood lines have been provided by the applicant's consultant to reflect the proposed changes to the flood plain required to accommodate the proposed works in the valleylands. The sports fields have been removed from the projected meander belt line, however portions of the stormwater management pond and outfall are to be within the meander belt. 376 Access to the school is proposed via a driveway connecting to Main Street Unionville and a secondary access via a road running north from the future Enterprise Drive to the school site. At the projected time of school opening in 2008, the secondary access to Enterprise Drive will not be available, as Enterprise Drive will not be completed until 2010 or 2011. In the interim, the driveway entrance to Main Street Unionville will be the only access available. As noted above, a portion of this driveway is within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and may be impassable in the event of a Regional Storm. In light of this issue, the Town of Markham Fire Department has requested that the applicant submit a certified letter from an engineer confirming that the Main Street Unionville driveway fire access route is located 1.5 metres above the 100 year storm flood line and a letter confirming that the secondary access will be completed within an appropriate time frame after the school is occupied. This has been included as a condition of site plan approval by the Town of Markham. Provincial policy requires that schools provide for the safe evacuation as a result of flooding for young persons or persons with disabilities. However, this condition will be an interim condition present only until Enterprise Drive is completed. Given that Enterprise Drive will be completed shortly after the school opening, the school will be equipped with an access route outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Environmental gains provided by the project include: the discontinuance of the former golf course use; the ownership of the valleylands on site by a public agency, the provision of an extensive riparian planting plan in order to improve and restore approximately 3.6 hectares of the southern bank of the Rouge River located on the site; provisions to support the infiltration of groundwater via parking lot Bio Swales; the removal of dykes on the flood plain; outdoor lighting fitted with cut off shields to maintain 'dark skies'; and a water storage and irrigation system for the sports fields which will reduce water consumption. The applicant intends to seek a LEED 'Silver' rating for the project which will take into account the aforementioned environmental gains as well as the following additional design elements: highly efficient building envelope and heating, ventilation and air - conditioning systems to realize energy savings of 30 to 35% over conventional construction resulting in lowered green house gas emissions and air pollution; a building orientation which takes advantage of prevailing winds and solar exposure to improve energy efficiency; local, environmentally friendly and recycled content building materials included in construction which will require less transportation and refinement of raw materials and a decreased environmental footprint; low flow plumbing fixtures to achieve a 15 to 20% reduction in water use. Control of Flooding: Given the amount of fill required to accommodate the proposed sports fields and associated infrastructure such as irrigation systems, the applicant was required to provide an analysis of the flood plain storage changes as a result of the proposed works. This work was undertaken by Schaeffers & Associates Consulting Engineers. A riparian storage calculations report dated April 3, 2006 provides a summary of existing and proposed flood plain storage at various storm events. The report shows a gain of flood storage for the Regional Storm event and a reduced amount of storage for the 100 year or lower storm events. It is the opinion of Schaeffers & Associates that given the improvements during the Regional Storm event conditions and the fact that the 100 year storm event storage volume shortfall represents only approximately 2.5% of the total Regional storm event storage volume, flood level impacts downstream should be negligible. 377 Pollution: A sediment and erosion control plan will be implemented and is to be maintained for the duration of construction, so that sedimentation of the tributary will not occur. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical concerns or in -water works associated with this proposal. A significant planting plan has been provided which includes an extensive riparian planting scheme for the 3.6 hectares of the southern portion of the Rouge River bank that is within the subject lands. Staff will issue a letter of advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) with this permit, as a DFO Authorization pursuant to the Fisheries Act (Canada) was not required. Disturbed areas are to be stabilized following construction. Plantings The planting plan provided with the proposal protects significant trees adjacent to the Rouge River while providing for four distinct restoration areas. Approximately 3.6 hectares of riparian zone are to be restored as part of the planting plan. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is based on section 4.1.2 of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) which notes that "intensive uses associated with recreation and commercial operations may be compatible with some valley and stream corridor reaches such as: sports fields and playing fields." CFN: 37674 - Application #: 189 /06 /MARK Report Prepared by: Chris Jones, extension 5718 For information contact: Carolyn Woodland, extension 5214 Date: May 10, 2006 RES. #B71/06 - Moved by: Seconded by: HERRON GARDENS INC. 25 Herron Avenue, CFN 35765. Property located on the east side of Herron Avenue, south of St. Clair Avenue, City of Toronto (Scarborough Community Council Area), Don River watershed. Dave Ryan Rob Ford WHEREAS 25 Herron Avenue, City of Toronto, is identified for the target system in Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) Terrestrial Natural Heritage System Strategy; AND WHEREAS 25 Herron Avenue falls within the criteria for acquisition as outlined in TRCA's approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT staff be directed to enter into negotiations with the owner of 25 Herron Avenue and representatives of the City of Toronto to secure the lands at 25 Herron Avenue in public ownership, subject to funding being available. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject property which is municipally known as 25 Herron Avenue is approximately 0.94 hectares in size and located south of St. Clair Avenue and west of Warden Avenue, in the Scarborough Community Council Area of the City of Toronto. Located adjacent to the east and south of the property is Warden Woods Park which is part of the Taylor Massey Creek valley corridor. Located north of the property is Moreau Trail Park. Both of these parks are owned by the City of Toronto. The subject property is currently developed with a single family dwelling and manicured yard. The subject property was acquired by Herron Gardens Inc. on March 26, 2002 for $1,400,000. The owner has submitted a proposal to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By -Law from low density residential use to medium density residential use to permit the development of a townhouse complex. The present proposal for the site involves 31 townhouse units. A public meeting was held recently relating to this development proposal and the owner has indicated that he will be revising his proposal based on comments from the public meeting. A majority of the-site is regulated by TRCA under Ontario Regulation 166/06. The entire site is identified for the target system in TRCA's Terrestrial Natural Heritage System Strategy. The entire site is also within the Natural Heritage System in the City of Toronto's new Official Plan. A majority of the site falls within the limits of the City of Toronto's Ravine Protection By -Law. In 2002, TRCA staff staked the limit of the feature associated with the valley. Following the submission of a satisfactory geotechnical report and valley restoration strategy, TRCA staff agreed to an appropriate development limit. TRCA has requested that all lands below top of bank including the buffer be conveyed to either TRCA or the city. FINANCIAL DETAILS TRCA does not have any funding available for the purchase of this property, therefore it is necessary to investigate other funding sources. City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff have indicated that they do not have any funding in their Parkland Acquisition reserves for the Scarborough Community Council Area. The provincial government does have funding in its Natural Space Land Acquisition and Stewardship Program which is administered by the Ontario Heritage Trust. This program provides up to 50% funding to conserve and protect provincially significant natural systems in southern Ontario. To be eligible for this program it will be necessary to demonstrate the significance of the subject property from a provincial perspective and find a funding partner for the remaining 50 %.

"Transitional Procedures and Guidelines" to facilitate the transition from Ontario Regulation 158 to Ontario Regulation 166/06 and "Permission for Minor Works" letter of approval protocol to streamline the review process for minor works considered not to affect the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land. Dave Ryan Rob Ford WHEREAS the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) Ontario Regulation 158, "Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways" has been revoked and replaced with Ontario Regulation 166/06, "Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses"; WHEREAS TRCA staff are committed to working cooperatively with all of TRCA's municipal partners, landowners and stakeholders regarding the transition and implementation of Ontario Regulation 166/06, including opportunities td streamline the approval process, where appropriate; WHEREAS TRCA, through its Business Excellence objective, is committed to improve and streamline the administration of regulation compliance; 382 AND WHEREAS TRCA has an existing 'Minor Works Delegation" protocol where works are considered not to affect the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the "Transitional Procedures and Guidelines" and the "Permission for Minor Works" letter of approval protocol, including the delegation of approval authority to staff, and associated fee structure as outlined in the staff report be approved and implemented; THAT the "Permission for Minor Works" letter of approval protocol and associated fee structure be considered interim and subject to review and analysis, in consultation with TRCA member municipalities, as part of TRCA's overall update of Regulation policies with TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Plan (1994); AND FURTHER THAT the municipal building departments of TRCA's member municipalities be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND On May 8, 2006, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's "Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation ", Ontario Regulation 166/06, was formally approved in accordance with Ontario Regulation 97/04 (Generic Regulation). This regulation replaces TRCA's "Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation ", Ontario Regulation 158. In order to facilitate the transition from Ontario Regulation 158 to Ontario Regulation 166/06, this report proposes a set of procedures that will guide staff, landowners, consultants and our municipal partners. Administratively, the implementation of the new Regulation will be similar to the old Regulation. TRCA staff are undertaking a comprehensive review of our policy document, Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (1994), to update TRCA's policies, procedures and guidelines with current provincial policies, which will include those policies related to administering the Regulation. This update will be prepared with input from TRCA's member municipalities and stakeholders. In addition, Conservation Ontario has initiated a policy review exercise to ensure that conservation authorities administer their updated Regulation in a consistent manner. TRCA staff have been participating in a similar exercise with the central region conservation authorities in the Greater Toronto Area. It is expected that an updated policy document related to the Regulation will be presented to the Authority by late fall. This report proposes interim policies for areas and activities of the new Regulation that are not captured in our current policy document. In addition, to streamline the permit review and approval process and improve the service delivery associated with the expanded workload resulting from the new Regulation, this report also proposes a review and letter of approval process as an update to our existing minor works protocol. TRANSITIONAL PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES Effective May 8, 2006, TRCA's existing Regulation, Ontario Regulation 158, was revoked and replaced with Ontario Regulation 166/06. Due to the changes brought about by the new Regulation, a set of guidelines is necessary to ensure that permits issued and new applications for development are subjected to the appropriate procedures and guidelines depending on the date of their submission. The document in Attachment 1 establishes a set of procedures that will guide staff, landowners, consultants and our municipal partners through the transition from our "Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation" to the implementation of our "Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation ". The attached transitional guidelines are based upon a document prepared and circulated by Conservation Ontario to all conservation authorities and reflect comments received by TRCA's solicitor and from staff. WETLANDS AND AREAS OF INTERFERENCE: TRCA's new Regulation includes wetlands and areas adjacent to wetlands which help sustain essential hydrologic functions and where development could interfere or negatively affect these functions. The regulation of the "other areas" adjacent to wetlands is referred to as "area of interference ". TRCA has mapped all wetlands greater than 0.5 ha based upon Ministry of Natural Resources wetland mapping and TRCA's Ecological Land Classification (ELC) Vegetation Type mapping. An allowance of 120 metres has been applied to all provincially significant wetlands and wetlands on the Oak Ridges Moraine to identify the "area of interference" and delineate the regulated area. An allowance of 30 metres was applied to all other wetlands. This allowance may be adjusted where development has been approved subject to an application made under the Planning Act or other public planning or regulatory process (e.g. where an Environmental Impact Study has determined the limit of development, the allowance would be adjusted accordingly). TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Plan (1994) policies do not specifically address the "wetland" and "area of interference" components of the new Regulation and this will be addressed as part of TRCA's overall Regulation policy update. In the interim, TRCA staff have attempted to address development proposals of a minor nature adjacent to wetlands in the proposed update to the minor works protocol as discussed in the following section of this report. TRCA staff are proposing to bring forward within the near future, an interim policy for development within the "area of interference" to provide guidance for development applications within these areas. As a minimum, TRCA staff will adopt the principles of current provincial planning policies related to development adjacent to wetlands, (e.g. 2005 Provincial Policy Statement, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan), as part of our Regulation review process protocol. This would be consistent with the function TRCA staff currently provide through our plan review role under the Planning Act. 384 MINOR WORKS REVIEW Current Minor Works Protocol: On November 14, 2003, through Resolution #B164/03, the Executive Committee approved a minor works permit approval protocol in an effort to provide a streamlined, expeditious and efficient review of works considered minor in nature within the Fill Regulated Area, outside of the flood plain and considered not to adversely affect the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution, erosion or the conservation of land. Under this protocol, minor works are subject to the normal permit application review and associated fee process. Staff screen the application to determine if the application qualifies as minor works and complies with provincial policies and with TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Plan program. Staff prepare a file report, similar to the reports presented to the Executive Committee, outlining the rationale and justification for the approval of the minor works. The permit of minor works is subject to authorization by the Director, Planning and Development and signed by an appointed enforcement officer. Staff prepare a monthly report listing approved minor works permits for the information of the Executive Committee. Eligible works for the streamlined permit approval process are consistent with the following list: • fill placement or regrading of less than 30 cubic metres (the equivalent of 3 truckloads); • minor additions up to 50 square metres (500 square feet); • non - habitable accessory structures up to 50 square metres (500 square feet) such as garden /storage sheds, detached garages, cabanas and workshops. Also ancillary works such as decks, gazebos, patios and fencing. • miscellaneous municipal and utility projects such as directional drilling and associated bore pits, signage, hydro poles, etc.; • retaining walls up to 1.0 metre in height and 15 metres (50 feet) in length; • inground swimming pools; • emergency works; and • temporary installations and maintenance procedures. Where any works noted above are considered by staff to be contrary to TRCA policies, or there are significant environmental issues, or where staff is aware of community or third party concerns, a report on the application is forwarded to the Executive Committee for review and approval, as per existing procedures. Since the approval of the minor works protocol in November 2003, 205 minor works applications have been processed. Staff have found this protocol to be an effective process to improve service delivery and allow applicants to proceed within a timely manner rather than having to wait for monthly permit approval by the Executive Committee. The review process still ensures compliance with our legal obligations under the Regulation. 385 Proposed "Permission for Minor Works" Protocol: With the approval of TRCA's "Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation ", the stream valley corridors and wetland areas within the headwaters of our jurisdiction will now be formally regulated. In the past, these areas were screened through our Fill Line Extension program to assess applications for construction in the flood plain and alteration to a watercourse under Ontario Regulation 158, however we did not have the ability to regulate fill placement within these areas. As a result of Ontario Regulation 166/06, the number of permit applications and workload within these areas is expected to increase. Furthermore the distinction between "fill" and "construction" activities of the Ontario Regulation 158 have been incorporated into a more comprehensive definition of "Development" defined in Section 28 (25) of the Conservation Authorities Act as follows: a) the construction, reconstruction, erection or placing of a building or structure of any kind; b) any change to a building or structure that would have the effect of altering the use or potential use of the building or structure, increasing the size of the building or structure or increasing the number of dwelling units in the building structure, c) site grading, or d) the temporary or permanent placing, dumping or removal of any material, originating on site or elsewhere. Ministry of Natural Resources officials have indicated that the inclusion of 'change of use' in the definition of development, which is new, is directed primarily to address conversion that intensify residential use within hazardous areas (e.g. flood plain), thereby increasing the threat to life and property damages. During the consultation process of TRCA's Generic Regulation conformity exercise, municipal staff indicated their desire for TRCA staff to explore opportunities to expand upon on our minor works protocol or establish exemptions to streamline the.permit review and approval process. Some member municipalities have also indicated their desire to enter into an agreement with TRCA to undertake a streamlined screening process, while other municipalities, such as the City of Toronto, have indicated that they are not prepared to enter into such an arrangement at this time due to liability concerns and the large volume of applications to screen. Under the Building Code Act, municipal building officials are faced with a reduced permit issuance time, in some instances as short as 10 days, provided all applicable law has been complied with. Most municipalities require applicants to submit a TRCA permit or some form of clearance in writing from the TRCA prior to submitting their building permit application for processing to the municipality. 386 In consideration of the anticipated increased workload resulting from the expanded regulated areas within TRCA's jurisdiction and our commitment through TRCA's Business Excellence objective to streamline the permit approvals process and improve service delivery to applicants and our member municipalities, staff are recommending that our current minor works protocol be updated and expanded as a "'Permission of Minor Works ". The scope of eligible minor works /activities is proposed to be expanded to address the broader definition of "Development ", (e.g. change of use), while amendments to the evaluation criteria is required to address the areas regulated under our new Regulation. The proposed eligible minor works and criteria are presented in Attachment 2. The works are considered to be either minor in nature or due to size and location are deemed not to impact flooding, slope stability and erosion hazards, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land. Staff are recommending that the list of eligible works be considered as interim and subject to further analysis as part of our overall policy review update, that will include consultation with our municipal partners. TRCA staff are recommending that the administration of the minor works protocol also be updated to fulfill our corporate Business Excellence objective. In this regard, a letter of approval for "Permission of Minor Works" would be issued as opposed to a permit. The applicant would be required to submit a minor works application form and associated processing fee. TRCA staff will screen the application for compliance with the protocol for permission of minor works. A letter of approval for permission of minor works signed by the Director, Planning and Development, an appointed enforcement officer, or staff designated by the Director, Planning and Development, would be issued together with appropriate drawings stamped as being reviewed and approved by TRCA. Staff will prepare a monthly report listing approved letters of approval for the permission of minor works for the information of the Executive Committee. The review process associated with the issuance of an approval letter will ensure that we are maintaining our legal obligations under the Regulation, while providing the opportunity to expedite the review process and improve service delivery. Processing Fee: TRCA's Administrative Fee Schedule for permit applications was last updated on January 1, 2006. It is noted on the schedule that TRCA reserves the right to adjust fees to the new Generic Regulation based on approval in May 2006. TRCA staff are recommending a processing fee of $50.00 be applied to all works that are minor in scale and do not require a site visit. TRCA's current fee structure has a permit fee for minor works on personal residential property of $285.00. Staff are recommending that this fee be applied to the minor works that are more substantial in scale and that require a site inspection as indicated in Attachment 2. The current fee structure includes a fee of $1,725.00 on minor improvements for other projects and this is being proposed for municipal and utility projects. Staff recommend that the appropriateness of the fees be evaluated as part of the policy review exercise and implementation of this interim protocol. NOTIFICATION Our member municipalities have been informed of the approval of our new Regulation. The "Transitional Procedures and Guidelines" and the "Permission for Minor Works" letter of approval protocol will be circulated to the building divisions of our member municipalities and will also be posted on TRCA's website. If required, staff will meet with appropriate staff of our member municipalities to address the transition guidelines and minor works protocol. 387 SUMMARY The "Transitional Procedures and Guidelines" will assist TRCA staff, landowners, consultants and our member municipalities with the transition from the old Regulation to the implementation the new Regulation. The intent of the proposed update to TRCA's current minor works protocol is to address the anticipated workload resulting from the new Regulation and to continue to provide a streamlined, expeditious and efficient review and approval of works that are minor in nature and will not adversely affect the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land. Report prepared by: Laurie Nelson, extension 5281 For Information contact: Laurie Nelson, extension 5281 Date: June 5, 2006 Attachments: 2 388 Attachment 1 Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Transitional Procedures and Guidelines Transitioning from the "Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation ", Ontario Regulation 158 to the "Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation ", Ontario Regulation 166/06 May 2006 389 1.0 Background The old Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulations provided each conservation authority with the power to regulate the following: (a) placing or dumping of fill in a regulated area, (b) construction of buildings and structures in any area susceptible to flooding during a regional storm, and (c) straightening, changing, diverting or interfering in any way with a waterway. On May 1st, 2004, the Generic Regulation (Ontario Regulation 97/04) was approved by the province under subsection 28(1) of the Conservation Authorities Act. The " Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation" established the criteria that a regulation made by an Authority under subsection 28(1) of the Conservation Authorities Act must meet. A principal mandate of conservation authorities is to prevent the Toss of life and property damage due to flooding and erosion, and to conserve and enhance natural resources. The "Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation" is a key tool in fulfilling this mandate because it gives conservation authorities the power to regulate development, interference with wetlands, and alterations to shorelines and watercourses in areas where the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution, or the conservation of land may be affected by development. Transitional policies and procedures are important in the implementation of the new Regulation and are effective the date that the Minister of Natural Resources approves the new Regulation. 1.1 Purpose Due to the changes brought about by the new Regulation, a set of guidelines is necessary to ensure that permits issued and new applications for development are subjected to the appropriate procedures and guidelines depending on their date of submission. Therefore, the purpose of this document is to establish a set of procedures that will guide staff of the TRCA through the transition from the old "Fill, Construction and Alteration to Watercourses Regulation" to the implementation of the new " Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation ". TRCA's new Regulation, O ntario Regulation 166/06, came into effect on May 8, 2006. 390 1.2 Permit Applications 1.2.1 Applications Submitted Before May 8, 2006 Applications for permission that were submitted to the Authority prior to May 8, 2006 will be subject to the procedures for the administration of the old "Fill, Construction and Alteration to Watercourses Regulation ", provided that the application is complete to the satisfaction of the Authority. Applications submitted and reviewed under Ontario Regulation 158 that have not yet been approved by May 8, 2006, will be reviewed to ensure consistency with Ontario Regulation 166/06. Applications that are deemed by the Authority to be incomplete, and are within an area regulated under the new "Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation ", as of May 8, 2006 will be subject to the procedures under the new Regulation. Applications for permission that were submitted to the Authority prior to approval of the new Regulation that are not within an area regulated under the new Regulation will not require a permit. 1.2.2 Applications Submitted After May 8, 2006 All applications for permission to develop, interfere with or alter a wetland, shoreline or watercourse within an area regulated under the new "Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation" that are received after May 8, 2006 will be subject to the provisions under the new Regulation. 1.3 Extension of Permits Issued under Ontario Regulation 158 Any permits that were issued under Ontario Regulation 158 and have expiry dates beyond May 8, 2006 will continue to be valid for the duration identified on the permit. Inspections and conditions enforced under the "Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation" will continue until such time as the permit expires or the work is completed. Ontario Regulation 158 was revoked with the approval of Ontario Regulation 166/06. Any request for an extension for a permit under Ontario Regulation 158 not granted before May 8, 2006, will be considered under Ontario Regulation 166/06. One permit re- issuance extending the permit approval for a period of two years will be granted before the works are considered new works.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. 401 William and Judith Wilder own a major farming operation located in northern Pickering and southern Uxbridge and they were looking for addition farmland for their operation. In late 2005, the Wilders acquired 450 acres of land located south of Albright Road, between Brock Road and the 6th Concession Road in the Township of Uxbridge. Of the total 450 acres, approximately 181 acres located on east side of Brock Road is usable for farming purposes. The Wilders are the principals of 671934 Ontario Ltd. In 2001 the Wilders donated a conservation easement on 711 acres of their lands in this area. TRCA was a signatory to the conservation easement agreement. Since the purchase of this property, TRCA staff have had ongoing discussions with Mr. Wilder relating to the 270 acres of the property fronting on the 6th Concession Road. The Wilders are proposing to donate a 17 acre parcel of this land which is located on the east side of the 6th Concession Road and is separated from the remainder of the 450 acre holdings by an unopened road allowance. Based on the discussions staff are recommending a transaction on the following basis: a) TRCA will acquire 232.46 acres of the Wilder property for a purchase price of $1.7 million; b) William and Judith Wilder would retain two -10 acre lots which they would sell. The value of the lots has been taken into account when the purchase price of the 232.46 acre parcel was determined; c) William and Judith Wilder will have the right to harvest wood for a 2 year period from the acquired land following good environmental forest management practices; d) William and Judith Wilder will have the right to farm any farmlands included in the lands being acquired for as long as they operate their farm on the adjacent lands. The right is for the Wilders personal use only and is not transferable. We estimate that there is approximately 7 or 8 acres of farm land included in the lands being acquired by TRCA; and e) TRCA will fence the limit between the lands being acquired by TRCA and the lands being retained by William and Judith Wilder. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Duffins Creek watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. It is located in the headwaters of the Duffins Creek, in a provincially significant Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) and contains a small portion of the provincially significant Glen Major Wetland Complex. The property is designated as Natural Core Area under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. The addition of the subject parcel will compliment TRCA's holdings in the Glen Major area. 402 TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Since this property has been designated as a provincial significant ANSI and contains a portion of the provincially significant Glen Major Wetland Complex, it will be eligible to receive a property tax exemption. The addition of the subject parcel of land will not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs at this location. FINANCIAL DETAILS The subject property was identified on the list of properties approved by the City of Toronto to be funded from the city's Land Acquisition for Source Water Protection Reserve. The city will fund up to 50% of the costs of the acquisition for properties on the list located outside of the city boundaries. The reserve presently contains funding of $500,000. Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) Foundation staff have indicated during preliminary discussions that they would support a contribution by the ORM Foundation to this purchase. Other potential funding sources are the Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham and the Ontario Heritage Trust under the Natural Spaces Land Acquisition & Stewardship Program. Expenditures related to this acquisition will be charged to account 004 -11 -502. The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto will be requested to fund the balance of the required funding for the acquisition.

Y. Lee of C.Y. Lee Architect. The Rock Community Church presently uses the existing pond located on the subject lands for baptism ceremonies. At the time the original report was considered by the Executive Committee the proposal was for a 20 year exclusive lease of the subject lands for church - related activities. This term was not acceptable to the church trustees and they were proposing a substantially longer term. To resolve this issue, staff are recommending a nonexclusive licence of the property to the church for a 40 year period. The church trustees are in agreement with this proposal. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Humber River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #6/05, held on July 22, 2005, Resolution #A168/05 was approved as follows: THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) utilize, as required, the services of Sartor and Susin Ltd. for the supply of operated heavy construction equipment and dump trucks for the period August 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006, it being the proposal that best meets TRCA's requirements at the lowest overall cost; AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to use the next lowest tender if the need arises. In preparation of the original tender documents, staff included a provision whereby the successful bidder could request a one year extension to the contract at a specific maximum percent increase or decrease to the unit prices bid. Sartor & Susin Ltd. have requested, in writing, a one year extension to their contract with an overall year two increase, in the unit rates, of 5 percent. RATIONALE TRCA and Sartor & Susin Ltd. have worked together on numerous successful projects over many years and through the tendering process, Sartor & Susin Ltd. have consistently provided the lowest unit rates with a broad spectrum of equipment and fully experienced operators. Staff has reviewed the proposed new rate structure, in conjunction with a performance review, and are satisfied that the requested 5 percent increase is indicative of overall industry operating cost increases and are warranted.

The 14 hectare property has recently been conveyed to TRCA from the City of Vaughan. 413 TRCA staff, in conjunction with KARA and the City of Vaughan, has completed detailed design drawings showing how the existing tablelands will be enhanced significantly by importing and strategically placing clean surplus soil. It is the opinion of staff that this is an opportunity to create wetland and interpretive opportunities while creating the foundation for diverse habitat and public features. The soil placement will also provide the desired sound and visual attenuation structures for the neighboring residential community. Upon completion of the fill placement and grading phase of the project and subject to available revenues, TRCA staff will complete all site trails, plantings and associated landscaping as shown on the attached layout plan. A stewardship agreement between TRCA, KARA and the City of Vaughan has been completed in which TRCA will assume the long term management responsibilities associated with the 14 hectare property. The agreement is similar to the stewardship agreement implemented in 1992 between TRCA and the City of Vaughan for the Foster Woods property in Kleinburg. An archaeological assessment of the property was completed on behalf of the City of Vaughan in 1987 by Mayer, Pihl, Poulton and Associates Inc. and no sites of significance were found. TRCA staff has reviewed the assessment and concurs that the site is considered cleared from an archaeological perspective. It is the opinion of staff that multiple sources of clean surplus soil will be available to complete the regeneration objectives and generate the necessary revenue to offset project costs and future costs associated with the management of the property. TRCA will implement a soils quality control program to ensure and confirm that all soils placed on TRCA -owned property meet Ministry of Environment Table 1 criteria. As per Authority Resolution #A4/06, staff of TRCA were authorized to proceed with the project. An advertisement was placed in the Daily Commercial News requesting tenders from interested parties to undertake the required work. Tenders were received from the following nine contractors: COMPANY NAME Anpro Environmental Group Inc. Coreydale Contracting Co. Aro Excavating Ltd. Gentile Contracting Ltd. B. Gottardo Construction Ltd. Ragno Excavating Ltd. Clearway Group Coneco Earthmoving Construction Con Drain Co. Ltd. COMPENSATION OFFERED $3.51 per cubic metre $3.15 per cubic metre $2.70 per cubic metre $2.55 per cubic metre $2.05 per cubic metre $2.00 per cubic metre $1.50 per cubic metre $1.26 per cubic metre $1.25 per cubic metre. Staff reviewed all tenders and determined that the submission by Anpro Environmental Group Incorporated met all TRCA requirements and included the highest price per metre compensation of the nine tenders received. 414 RATIONALE TRCA staff have negotiated similar agreements with developers and /or operated similar operations in other areas with considerable success. Examples of these successful projects include the berming along the new Markham by -pass east of the Ninth Line, berming along Highway 407 at Claireville Conservation Area, berming and wetland complex development at Kortright Centre for Conservation and berming and wetland complex development at Boyd North (along Islington Avenue north of Rutherford Road, City of Vaughan). Staff see this regeneration work as a benefit to all involved as the surplus soil along with the financial compensation will allow for the creation of habitat opportunities and public features on the property. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Obtain various municipal permits prior to beginning fill placement. FINANCIAL DETAILS TRCA staff anticipate that fill revenue from this project will offset direct project operating and restoration costs. The potential gross revenue from this project is approximately $1.2 million dollars. The direct project operating and restoration costs will be deducted from this revenue.

The purpose is to place fill material within a TRCA Regulated Area in order to improve existing agricultural operations. The permit will be issued for the period of July 7, 2006 to July 6, 2008 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Legal Survey, prepared by J.R. Finnie, dated May 8, 2002, stamped received by TRCA Planning and Development staff June 23, 2006; • Site Plan & Cross - Section Plan, prepared by J. Gray, dated June 23, 2006, stamped received by TRCA Planning and Development staff June 23, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 437 Proposal: This proposal involves the placement of approximately 9,000 cubic metres of fill material within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Etobicoke Creek Watershed in order to improve the existing agricultural use of the land. Recently, the TRCA has approved the development of a new residential dwelling and driveway on the subject lands. Please be advised that a TRCA permit was not required for the approved dwelling and driveway, which in the opinion of TRCA staff was unlikely to have an impact on the ecological features associated with this site. Traditional farm practices (i.e., cash crop) occur on the subject lands. However, a deep land depression exists in the area to which fill placement is to occur. Localized drainage from rain events and snow thaw reduce crop production within the depression. The proposed grading work will provide for improved drainage and increased crop production. The area to which this application applies is located within the Regulatory Floodplain. TRCA Water Resources staff has confirmed that this area floods as a result of an undersized culvert beneath King Street, which creates a backwater effect in the area to be filled. Although a loss of storage will occur, TRCA Water Resources staff has confirmed that this section of the floodplain is within an ineffective flow area and that flooding will not be exacerbated upstream and /or downstream of this site. The depression is void of any significant vegetation and is located on the tableland portion of the subject property. As such, no adverse ecological impacts are expected as a result of construction. Control of Flooding: Due to the flood characteristics in this area, TRCA Water Resources staff has confirmed that no significant impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated as a result of fill placement. Pollution: The proposed works are setback approximately 120 metres from the nearest watercourse feature. In addition, vehicular access to the land depression will not require crossing of the corridor feature. As such, sedimentation of the nearby Etobicoke Creek tributary is not anticipated. However, appropriate erosion and sediment controls (i.e., silt fence) have been proposed with this application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. There are no geotechnical and /or fisheries related concerns associated with this proposal. Plantings Compensatory planting is not required. The proposed fill placement is located within an area that is actively farmed. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is in conformity with Section 4.2.2 (E) - Development and Redevelopment /Intensification Within Non - Established Communities /Highly Urbanized Areas - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP). 438 CFN: 37869 - Application #: 314/06/CAL Report Prepared by: Adam Miller, extension 5244 For information contact: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 Date: June 28, 2006 TOWN OF MARKHAM 8.1.19 1501786 ONTARIO LTD.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 446 Proposal: The applicant seeks to place fill within a Regulated Area, alter a watercourse and construct in the Regional Storm Flood Plain in order to repair erosion scars and stabilize the banks of a watercourse. The proposed works are located within the Holy Cross Cemetery in the Town of Markham south of Highway 407 on the east side of Yonge Street. A watercourse traverses the centre of the cemetery and is crossed by three bridges within the cemetery lands. Due to high flood waters that took place during the August 19, 2005 storm, the embankments of the watercourse were eroded at the location of the bridge crossings. The proposed works involve the placement of fill within the erosion scarred areas and then stabilization and planting of both sides of the banks of the watercourse. The application was submitted and reviewed under Ontario Regulation 158, (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation). The application was also reviewed for consistency with Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses), which came into effect May 8, 2006 and replaced Ontario Regulation 158. Control of Flooding: As the proposed filling will return the banks to their original condition, the control and storage of flood waters will not be affected by this proposal. Pollution: Sediment fencing is to be installed pursuant to the proposed drawings to separate the areas to be disturbed during construction from the watercourse. Conservation of Land: All areas to be disturbed during construction are to be stabilized with a seed mix. Plantings of native trees and shrubs are to take place as part of this proposal. There are no geotechincal issues associated with this proposal. This proposal is not located in an area with significant natural heritage features. In -water works will not be required for this proposal. Staff will issue a letter of advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) with this permit, as a DFO authorization pursuant to the Fisheries Act (Canada) was not required. Plantings At each location where watercourse bank erosion scarring took place, plantings of native trees and shrubs are to take place.

To develop, alter a watercourse, place material within a regulated area on Lot 9, 10, Concession 9, southeast of Highway 7 and 9th Line, in the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Lindvest Properties (Cornell) Ltd. The purpose is to conduct site grading, permit the temporary /permanent placement, dumping and /or removal of material within a Regulated Area and to alter a tributary of the Rouge River, in order to facilitate the development of a triple -box culvert crossing within the Grand Cornell residential subdivision, in the Town of Markham. The permit will be issued for the period of July 7, 2006 to July 6, 2008. • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Ecotech Consulting Engineers, dated June 29, 2006, received June 30, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading, permit the temporary /permanent placement, dumping and /or removal of material within a Regulated Area and to alter a tributary of the Rouge River, in order to facilitate the development of a triple box - culvert crossing within the Grand Cornell residential subdivision, in the Town of Markham. The Grand Cornell subdivision is located near the southeast corner of 9th Line and Highway 7, north of Highway 407. The proposed works are located on Michelena Terrace and will facilitate the development of the southern portion of the Cornell Community in Markham. The proposed triple box crossing will eventually convey flows from Tributary B within the Cornell Community. Flows from this tributary are to be conveyed through a permanent channel which was created to convey post - development flows from upstream of the proposed works. This reconstructed channel was previously permitted under Ontario Regulation 158 (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways) Permit No. C- 05109, which was issued on May 6, 2005. 478 Permanent flows from Tributary B are to be ultimately conveyed to the new channel. However,Tributary B flows, at this time, are conveyed through a temporary channel leading to the Tributary B stormwater facility, located just north of Highway 407. This is due to fact that a new culvert under Highway 7 which was to be constructed to convey permanent flows from the upstream drainage area of Cornell through the reconstructed and onto the Tributary B SWM facility is currently incomplete. Previously, the Highway 7 culvert was approved under O.Reg. 158 Permit No. C -5212, issued on July 11, 2005. Once these works are completed, flows from the temporary channel will be changed over and conveyed through the Highway 7 culvert and into the new permanent channel. The proposed culvert crossing will traverse across the permanent channel, which at this time is dry. It is noted that the potential loss of fish habitat within Tributary B of the Little Rouge River was authorized by the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) as part of Fisheries Act Authorization # 525 -1342 (1999). This authorization was provided for the above previously approved works to construct a new tributary channel and to allow for the development of the triple -box culvert under Highway 7. However, given that flows are currently not flowing into the permanent channel, the proposed culvert crossing works will not result in a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. Control of Flooding: It is noted that the permanent channel was designed to convey the Regional and 100 year storm event. As such, the proposed triple -box culvert has been designed to convey flows consistent with a Regional Event. Therefore, there will no upstream or downstream flooding impacts resulting from the proposed works. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be erected around the work area and maintained for the duration of construction. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. No in -water works are proposed as part of the subject application. No other significant natural features will be affected by the proposed triple -box culvert crossing. Plantings Extensive landscape plans detailing native, non - invasive plantings have been submitted for the culvert crossing. Additional plantings for the associated permanent channel have also been provided. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment controls (silt fence, cofferdam, sediment basin) will be installed to isolate the works and maintained. All flushed sediment will be contained in a sediment basin and removed from site following installation of the liner. Conservation of Land: All works will take place when the intermittent stream is dry. Work will also be restricted to the warm water timing window of July 1 to March 31. The channel will be reinstated at the culvert ends where excavation is required. 491 The location of the proposed culvert works is within the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) and Greenbelt. Section 41 of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan indicates in Subsection 5 that transportation and infrastructure may be permitted to cross hydrologically sensitive features (i.e. watercourses) subject to the tests and best management practices described in section 41(5)(a to e). This project has been reviewed for the tests and best management practices. Where a project is located within the ORM and the Greenbelt, the ORM legislation prevails. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with native soil and sod. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading, permit the temporary /permanent placement and /or removal of material within a Regulated Area of the Humber River and interfere with a watercourse, in order to implement a comprehensive restoration plan relating to a stream realignment, fish habitat enhancements and combined riparian plantings at 1051 Kipling Avenue (Planning Block 48), in the City of Vaughan. Site Context: The subject site is located east of Kipling Avenue, north of Teston Road and is approximately 80.91 ha (200 acres) in size. The subject property is accessible from a narrow farm laneway, located off of Kipling Avenue, which leads to a farmhouse set back approximately 1.0 km from the road. There are two existing broken concrete culverts within the aforementioned laneway, which provide access to the farmhouse and allow for the operation of farm equipment, used to cultivate crops on the property. Two tributaries of the Humber River traverse the subject site; the first tributary originates north of Kirby Road, just south of King- Vaughan Road, in an area with numerous small kettle ponds and lakes. This watercourse is a small riverine coldwater system, forming part of the East Humber River and is located closer to the west side of the subject site. The second watercourse, which is considered small, is located further to the east of the main tributary. This tributary is also classified as a small riverine coldwater system and originates near Kirby Road, flowing south and then joining the aforementioned main tributary south of the subject property. Flows within this small tributary are intermittent in nature, providing seasonal or indirect fish habitat. Background: In October 2003, TRCA Enforcement staff noted that the applicant had conducted significant works which resulted in the alteration of the two watercourses on the subject site. This work was conducted in the absence of requisite approvals from the TRCA (under Ontario Regulation 158 - Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways, which was in force at that time) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (HADD - Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction of fish habitat). The unapproved works included a realignment of the main watercourse on the subject property. Furthermore, a berm was constructed, restricting access to the flood plain. The channel was also widened resulting in laminar flow, and thereby creating a low -flow barrier to fish passage. Lastly, new culverts were installed which were not properly sized or installed correctly to allow for the passage of Regional Storm Flows or fish. 505 Subsequent to the issuance of a TRCA violation order, the applicant submitted an application for an O.Reg. 158 permit in late October 2003, in order to resolve the violation and conduct restoration works for the two altered watercourses. The proposed works include the removal of the broken concrete box culverts and the installation of new bottom box culverts. This will provide a benefit to fish habitat on the subject site. In addition, the improperly installed culverts are also to be removed. Furthermore, natural channel design principles will be employed to restore the watercourses and re- establish their associated flood plain areas. This will include the implementation of a comprehensive restoration planting plan for the channel banks and the planting of the flood plain areas. In light of the sensitivity of the watercourses and the degree of disturbance incurred, the proponent will be contributing funds to the establishment of a comprehensive monitoring program for the proposed works. This will include measurements of channel morphology, aquatic biota and riparian vegetation. The program will also define a set of target objectives for channel performance that will be used to determine whether maintenance or modifications to the channel are required during the monitoring time period. Issuance of the subject permit will be contingent upon the receipt of the aforementioned funds for the establishment of this monitoring program. The above permit application was submitted and reviewed under Ontario Regulation 158. Furthermore, the proposed works were also reviewed to ensure consistency with Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses), which came into effect on May 8, 2006. It is noted that the issuance of the permit for the works will be provided under O.Reg. 166/06. Control of Flooding: The proposed works will result in the re- establishment and re- planting of the associated flood plain areas. As such, the works will not impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters and will in fact, reinstate the natural flood plain for the area. Pollution: Erosion and sediment control measures will be erected prior to the initiation of the subject works and maintained for the duration of construction, to ensure that sediment does not enter the nearby watercourses. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Given that the subject application is proposed to address an outstanding violation on the property, authorization from DFO will be required. The proposed works will be carried out during the coldwater timing window, between July 1 to September 15. Plantings A comprehensive valley land restoration plan has been submitted and reviewed by TRCA technical staff. Plantings of native, non - invasive material will be carried out along the channel banks and throughout . the flood plain areas of the affected watercourses. 506 Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.2.2 (F) - Opportunities for Regeneration and Section 5.1 - Flood Control Remedial Works, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program CFN: 34913 - Application #: 465 /03 /VAUG Report Prepared by: Kevin Huang, extension 5307 For information contact: Kevin Huang, extension 5307 Date: July 6, 2006 RES. #B88/06 - Moved by: Seconded by: AWARD OF CONTRACT RSD06 -11 for Supply and Delivery of Cobble Stone, at the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project, City of Toronto.. Award of Contract for Supply and Delivery of Cobble Stone at the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project. Suzan Hall Michael Di Biase THAT Contract RSD06 -11 for Supply and Delivery of 7,000 tonnes of Cobble Stone at the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project be awarded to Dufferin Aggregates at a unit cost of $24.25, total cost not to exceed $169,750 plus applicable taxes, it being the lowest tender that met Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications. CARRIED BACKGROUND This tender was publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial News. Three companies provided sealed -bids to supply the project with 7,000 tonnes of cobble stone, which were opened by the Tender Opening Committee on June 9, 2006. The tenders have been reviewed by staff and the results are as follows: BIDDER BID (Plus GST) Cobble Stone (50 -150 mm) Dufferin Aggregates By Trailer $20.63/t By Triaxle $24.25/t Glen Windrem Trucking By Trailer $26.27/t By Triaxle $27.27/t Nelson Aggregate Co. By Trailer $26.52/t By Triaxle $29.67/t RATIONALE Staff has reviewed the tenders and recommend that the lowest bid received for Contract RSD06 -11 from Dufferin Aggregates, by triaxle dump trucks, be accepted for the supply and delivery of cobble stone at a unit price of $24.25 per tonne (plus GST). 507 It was determined that it would be more effective to deliver the stone to the site by triaxle truck due to stringent CN Rail safety requirements. CN Rail requires a flag person to be stationed at the level crossing entering this project for all.tractor trailers accessing the site and, according to CN Rail, securing a flag person on a regular basis is unlikely. Given that the window of opportunity to complete this work prior to the park opening in September is quickly closing, staff recommended the low bidder supply the material using standard triaxle truck.

The rear of the subject property is located adjacent to a valley feature of the Humber River Watershed. Given the location in which the works are proposed, the proposed development setback is sufficient. However, extensive native and non - invasive plantings are proposed along the rear property line to improve the ecological form and function of the area. The area to which this application applies is currently a manicured lawn. As such, the proposed works will not necessitate the removal of any significant vegetation. The subject property is located entirely outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls (i.e., silt fence) have been proposed with this application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns associated with this project.

Blair, City of Mississauga, dated July 13, 2006, stamped received by TRCA Planning and Development staff July 13, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of this application is to alter a watercourse of the Mimico Creek Watershed within a TRCA Regulated Area in order to facilitate the removal of debris, including fallen trees from a section of Mimico Creek at Wildwood Park, located on the east side of Professional Court, south of Derry Road East, in the City of Mississauga. A portion of the outer bank of Mimico Creek has recently collapsed, and several trees have fallen into the creek. As a result, the creek has become blocked and water flows are now being diverted toward the outer portion of the bank, exacerbating the rate of erosion. On this basis, the fallen debris and trees will be removed to reduce the rate of erosion. Considering the nature of this application and the implications to the surrounding properties and infrastructure, an emergency works approval has been issued. 518 The emergency works protocol stipulates that such works are typically temporary in nature and designed to remediate the emergency situation. Generally, a long -term solution is required. In this regard, it is anticipated that a realignment of this reach of the Mimico Creek will be necessary to stabilize the existing bank. As the bank at risk is in very close proximity to private lands, it is unlikely that sufficient public lands are available to create a stable slope, although further studies are required. Control of Flooding: Although the works will occur within the Regional Storm Floodplain, the works will provide an increase in hydraulic capacity and are anticipated to improve the control of flooding for this reach of the Mimico Creek Watershed. Pollution: Appropriate sediment controls (i.e., silt fence) have been proposed with this project, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: The proposed works will reduce the rate of erosion of the bank at risk. A Tong -term solution that will stabilize the existing bank conditions will be forthcoming through a future TRCA permit application. Conservation of Land: Although the proposed works will necessitate the removal of existing vegetation, through a long -term project to stabilize the bank at risk, extensive native and non - invasive plantings are proposed to achieve an ecological net gain'. Plantings These details will be reflected in the future TRCA permit application that is to be submitted for the long -term stabilization project. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is in conformity with Section 4.4.2 (F) - Opportunities for Regeneration and Section 4.4.2 (H) - Existing Resource -based Uses - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

The permit will be issued for the period of August 11, 2006 to August 10, 2008 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Sernas, dated July 5, 2006. 535 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to install a stormwater outfall adjacent to Morningside Tributary on the south side of Steeles Avenue East on land owned by The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company. The ouffall will be connected to a stormwater management pipe to be located along the south side of the Steeles Avenue East right -of -way. This pipe ultimately drains a new stormwater management pond to serve the Tapscott Industrial area west of Tapscott Road. The stormwater management program and the detailed design of the pond and infrastructure for the first phase of the Tapscott Industrial Area located west of Tapscott Road has been approved by TRCA staff through the review of a Master Environmental Servicing Plan and detailed drawings. The permit approval is conditional upon review and approval of some minor design details and a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Control of Flooding: The outfall is located above the regional storm floodplain elevation and flows from the outfall are controlled by the stormwater management pond. Therefore, there will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters. Pollution: Temporary sediment control fencing will be installed during construction to prevent sediment from entering the watercourse. Temperature calculations have been provided to ensure that the temperature of the outfall discharge will not impact the coldwater fishery in the Morningside Tributary. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: A flow spreader will be installed at the mouth of the ouffall to dissipate flows to the watercourse. The stormwater management pond from which the outfall discharges is designed to limit flows to that which will not exacerbate downstream erosion. Conservation of Land: The outfall will be located in a relatively disturbed portion of the slope adjacent to Steeles Avenue East. Minor tree and shrub removal is proposed. Plantings Native trees, shrubs and seed mix will be planted around the proposed headwall.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading, temporary /permanently place, dump and /or remove material within a Regulated Area of the Don River and to interfere with a watercourse, in order to conduct restoration works involving the realignment of an existing watercourse and fish habitat enhancements. The subject site is located west of Bathurst Street, south of Major Mackenzie Drive, within Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 19T -95044 (Humbold Properties Ltd.). 537 The proposed restoration work site was previously identified as one of four ecological restoration areas in the Master Environmental Service Plan (MESP) for Block 11, within the City of Vaughan. The subject work area is commonly referred to as Restoration Site # 2. Previously, Authority staff issued permits for Restoration Sites # 3 & 4 (Permit No. C -06163 & C- 06164), located within Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 19T -95066 (Nine -Ten West Limited). Block 11 is bounded by Major Mackenzie to the north, Rutherford Road to the south, Dufferin Street to the west and Bathurst Street to the east. Restoration Site # 2 is located adjacent to the former Montessori School site and is also within the east branch of the East Don River. Currently, there is an existing on -line farm pond in the work area. The east tributary of the East Don River feeds into this on -line pond and discharges flows back into the tributary, which leads south. The site has been identified as a prime area for restoration, including the removal of the on -line farm pond and the construction of a new natural channel, which will include enhanced wetland habitat and extensive riparian plantings. The transfer of flows into a naturalized channel will follow the historical 'natural' channel of this branch of the East Don River. By taking the pond off-line and connecting it to the historical channel, fish passage barriers will be removed. The above permit application was submitted and reviewed under Ontario Regulation 158 (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways). Furthermore, the proposed works were also . reviewed to ensure consistency with Ontario Regulation 166/06, which came into effect on May 8, 2006. It is noted that the issuance of the permit for the works will be provided under O.Reg. 166/06. Control of Flooding: Authority staff has reviewed the technical drawings to ensure that the proposed natural channel will safely convey storm flows. As such, the storage and conveyance of flood waters is not expected to be impacted. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be erected prior to the initiation of works on the subject site. These measures will be maintained for the duration of the project, to ensure sediment does not enter the East Don River. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: Erosion on the work site will be minimized through the application of the aforementioned sediment and erosion control measures. This includes outside meander bend protection for the new channel. Authority technical staff has review submitted drawings to ensure that the new channel meets up -to -date fluvial geomorphological principles. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Given that the proposed works potentially involves the Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat, formal authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be required. At this time, staff at DFO are currently conducting a review of the project. 538 Plantings An extensive planting plan has been submitted for the subject application and will include comprehensive plantings of native, non - invasive species. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.2.2 (F) - Opportunities for Regeneration, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to develop, conduct site grading, permit the temporary /permanent placement, dumping and /or removal of material within a Regulated Area of the East Don River and interfere with a watercourse, in order to facilitate the development of a siltation control pond and outfall, which will contribute to the development of Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. The permit will be issued for the period of August 11, 2006 to August 10, 2008 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking, denoting that all outstanding TRCA concerns will be satisfactorily addressed prior to the release of the permit, prepared by Schaeffers Consulting Engineers, dated June 28, 2006, received June 28, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to develop, conduct site grading and permit the placement and removal of material within a Regulated Area of the East Don River and interfere with a watercourse, in order to facilitate the development of a siltation control pond and outfall, which will contribute to the development of Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. The proposed siltation control pond is located within a proposed community park block, north of Valley Vista Drive and east of Thomas Cook Avenue (south of Major Mackenzie Drive and east of Dufferin Street). The proposed pond and community park block are located on lands owned by Senang Investments Ltd. A formal draft plan of subdivision or development proposal has not been received for the subject lands. However, it is noted that the lands are proposed to be developed as part of the Block 11 Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP). 539 Previously, a proposal for a similar siltation control pond for a proposed school block, across the street (Thomas Cook Avenue) from the subject works was conditionally approved by the Executive Committee in July 2006 (CFN 37871; 317 /06/VAUG). Planning Block 11 is bounded by Major Mackenzie Drive to the north, Bathurst Street to the east, Dufferin Street to the west and Rutherford Road to the south. Top soil stripping /grading approvals were previously received for Planning Block 11 (O.Reg. 158 Permit No. C- 04301). The proposed siltation control pond will receive stormwater flows from the proposed community park, which is approximately 9.53 ha in size. This will allow for the removal of sediment from these flows before they are discharged into the east tributary of the East Don River. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain and as such, the storage and conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted. Pollution: Erosion and sediment control measures including sediment fencing will be erected prior to the initiation of works and maintained for the duration of construction on the site. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: The proposed siltation control pond is located well away from the previously delineated limits of the valley corridor and will not encroach into the natural valley system. An outfall will be created at the bottom of the valley slope and discharge stormwater flows into the watercourse. Rock check dams will be implemented along with the aforementioned erosion and sediment controls to ensure that erosion and sedimentation of the valley slope is minimized. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works as the subject works are located away from the valley corridor. Furthermore, no in -water works are proposed as part of the subject application. However, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for the flow of treated stormwater into the watercourse. No other significant natural features will be impacted by the proposed works. Plantings No vegetation is to be removed as part of the works. The sediment control facility is temporary in nature and will be removed as the community park is developed. Therefore, the work site will be restored and regraded to pre- construction conditions. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. 540 CFN: 37909 - Application #: 340 /06/VAUG Report Prepared by: Kevin Huang, extension 5307 For information contact: Kevin Huang, extension 5307 Date: August 2, 2006 TOWN OF AJAX 7.1.21 MEDALLION DEVELOPMENTS LTD.

The purpose is to undertake works within a Regulated Area of the Mimico Creek Watershed in order to facilitate the partial demolition of an existing industrial building, the interior renovation of the remaining building, site grading and the installation of new storm servicing and outfall structures. The permit will be issued for the period of August 11, 2006 to August 10, 2008 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by D. Ashfield, The Municipal Infrastructure Group, dated August 4, 2006, to address outstanding TRCA Engineering issues. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of this proposal is to undertake works within a Regulated Area of the Mimico Creek Watershed in order to facilitate the partial demolition of an existing industrial building, the interior renovation of the remaining structure, site grading and the installation of new storm servicing and storm outfall structures at 7311 Kimbel Street, in the City of Mississauga. The rear of the subject property is located adjacent to a stream corridor of Mimico Creek. The site is currently occupied by a 14,586 square metre (157,000 sq. ft.) industrial building and parking lot. The proposed works involve the demolition of the rear portion of the existing industrial building. The demolition work will result in a reduced 10,126 square metre (109,000 sq. ft.) industrial building. The remaining structure is to be renovated to accommodate a recent change in ownership and future industrial use. As a result of the building reduction, the existing parking lot is proposed to be expanded. Although the proposed parking lot expansion is located outside of the Regional Floodplain, TRCA's floodplain estimation data indicates that a portion of the existing parking lot may be inundated by flood waters during the Regional Storm event. TRCA Engineering staff have reviewed the flood information for this area, and have confirmed that safe access and egress from the site can be maintained with this development. As the applicant is not proposing to change the existing parking lot which may be subject to flood flows during the Regional Storm event, the applicant has committed to ensure that safe access is maintained, and opportunities will be explored for reducing any existing flooding within the parking lot. 582 Currently, storm drainage from this site flows untreated to the adjacent tributary of Mimico Creek. As a component of this project, additional storm water quality control measures will be implemented for as much of the site as possible, to improve the current condition. Two stormwater outfalls, including an existing headwall structure at the northwest portion of the site will be utilized to convey stormwater. An additional storm sewer and outfall will be installed at the northeast portion of the site and will be constructed in accordance with TRCA's technical guidelines. Control of Flooding: The proposed demolition, renovation works and parking lot expansion are all located outside of the Regional Floodplain. The proposed storm sewer outlets are located within the Regional Floodplain. A portion of the existing parking lot may also be located within the Regional Storm Floodplain. Opportunities for removing the existing parking lot from the floodplain will be explored and where possible implemented, while safe access to and from the site during a Regional Storm event will be maintained. As such, TRCA Water Resources staff are satisfied that the proposed works will not adversely impact the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters, and may improve the existing flood risk. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures have been proposed with this application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns associated with this proposal. Conservation of Land: TRCA staff has reviewed the potential for fisheries impacts from the proposed works and has determined these works do not constitute a non - mitigatable Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. Therefore, a Letter of Advice (LOA) will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of this proposal. Plantings No significant vegetation will be removed. However, re- naturalization efforts are currently being discussed with the proponent and will be reflected in the approved drawings, prior to issuance of this permit. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is in conformity with Section 4.2.2 (E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures and Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP). 583 CFN: 38008 - Application #: 407 /06 /MISS Report Prepared by: Adam Miller, extension 5244 For information contact: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 Date: August 9, 2006 7.1.61 REGION OF PEEL To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere, alter a watercourse and development in the City of Mississauga, Etobicoke Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by Region of Peel.

The purpose is to restore a culvert section on McCowan Road as part of the road resurfacing project in the Town of Whitchurch - Stouffville. The permit will be issued for the period of August 11, 2006 to August 10, 2008 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of undertaking to provide revised construction drawings; dated August 9, 2006; received August 9, 2006; prepared by the Regional Municipality of York RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of the restoration of a section of culvert on McCowan Road 1478 metres north of Stouffville Road in the Town of Whitchurch Stouffville. The culvert provides drainage from the west side of the road to the watercourse that runs adjacent to the east side of the road. 591 Granular material from the road bed breached the culvert during road resurfacing activities when the existing asphalt was stripped. Upon inspection, it was found that larger sections of pipe had been added previously to the inlet and outlet ends of the original pipe to extend the culvert. When the asphalt was removed, material shifted through the space remaining between the improperly sized culvert ends. The culvert will be flushed of debris, and a slip liner will be inserted through the entire length and grouted to the existing culvert to provide a seamless passage. Once the culvert is stabilized, the originally planned resurfacing will continue. Control of Flooding: There will be no significant impacts to flooding from the proposed works. Pollution: Standard erosion control measures will be implemented to ensure that sediment will not enter the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no slope stability or geotechnical concerns with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: There will be no impacts to significant aquatic or terrestrial habitat from the proposed works. Plantings Any disturbed areas will be stabilized and restored with native species. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. The location of the proposed culvert works is within the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) and Greenbelt.

CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1999, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) approved the future directions strategy for Black Creek Pioneer Village (BCPV). A major part of the strategy is the capital projects for restoration of buildings and new attractions infrastructure, which has been ongoing since the year 2000. Roblin's Mill was originally constructed at BCPV from 1963 to 1965, with the replacement of portions of the water flume completed in 1999. The wood flumes, piers, concrete footings and tiebacks have further deteriorated over the past years and now require complete replacement. This tender was publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial News. Two companies provided sealed bids for the restoration of the Roblin's Mill water flume at BCPV, which were opened by the Tender Opening Committee on June 16, 2006 at meeting #11/06.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. William McCormack, Brian Dakin and Vanessa Ward own a 24.28 hectare (60.00 acre) property located on the west side of the 6th Concession Road, improved with two single family dwellings. The area proposed to be acquired by TRCA consists of the inspection path, the rear portion of the property which, is heavily treed with mixed forest as well as a four metre wide strip of land extending along the north limit of the property (for future TRCA trail use). This results in a severance of the property into two lots each containing a single family dwelling. 605 Negotiations have been conducted with the property owners, Mr. McCormack, Mr. Dakin and Ms. Ward and as a result TRCA has obtained an option on the property which is conditional on the necessary approvals.

Receipt of a request from the City of Toronto to provide a permanent easement for the construction of a combined sewer, between Bayview Avenue and Millwood Road, west of Don Valley Parkway, Don River watershed, City of Toronto (Toronto and East York Community Council Area). Frank Dale Dave Ryan THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of a request from the City of Toronto to provide a permanent easement for a combined sewer, between Bayview Avenue and Millwood Road, west of Don Valley Parkway, Don River watershed, City of Toronto (Toronto and East York Community Council Area); WHEREAS it is in the best interest of TRCA in furthering its objectives as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act to cooperate with the City of Toronto in this instance; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT a permanent easement containing a total of 0.38 hectares (0.93 acres), more or Tess, be granted to the City of Toronto for a combined sewer, said land being between Bayview Avenue and Millwood Road, west of Don Valley Parkway, City of Toronto, designated as Parts 11, 15 & 17, Plan 1; Parts 2, 6 & 8, Plan 2; and Parts 2, 6, 7, 10 & 12, Plan 3 on draft Plans of Survey prepared by the City of Toronto Technical Services - Survey and Mapping, under their Job No. 05- 00334, dated July 31, 2006, August 3, 2006 and August 2, 2006, respectively; THAT consideration be the nominal sum of $2.00, plus all legal, survey and other costs to be paid by the City of Toronto; THAT the City of Toronto is to fully indemnify TRCA from any and all claims from injuries, damages or costs of any nature resulting in any way, either directly or indirectly, from the granting of this easement or the carrying out of construction; THAT an archaeological investigation be completed, with any mitigative measures being carried out to the satisfaction of TRCA staff, at the expense of the City of Toronto; THAT all TRCA lands disturbed by the proposed works be revegetated / stabilized following construction and, where deemed appropriate by TRCA staff, a landscape plan be prepared for TRCA staff review and approval in accordance with existing TRCA landscaping guidelines; THAT a permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 be obtained prior to commencement of construction; 611 THAT the granting of this easement is subject to receipt of written approval from the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department who manage these lands on behalf of TRCA; THAT said easement be subject to approval of the Minister of Natural Resources in accordance with Section 21(2) of the Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter C.27, as amended; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect hereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND The City of Toronto has formally requested a permanent easement for a combined sewer, between Bayview Avenue and Millwood Road, west of Don Valley Parkway. The existing Rosemount Heights combined sewer was constructed in 1930 to service the surrounding developed areas. The sewer is presently in poor condition with a number of pipe failures along its route. The proposal involves replacing the existing sewer with a new combined sewer from Douglas Road to the North Toronto Trunk Sewer. The combined sewer will ultimately function as a sanitary sewer following the development and implementation of stormwater management in Rosemount Heights. A portion of the proposed sewer to be installed across TRCA property will run through Reid Manor Park within the Lower Don River parklands. The Reid Manor Park lands are owned by TRCA and managed by the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department. The sewer will be located partially within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and Fill Regulated Area of the Lower Don River. A permit application pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 for construction within the regulated area will be scheduled at a future Executive Committee meeting. The subject TRCA -owned lands were acquired from the Township of East York on November 24, 1961 under the Don River Flood Plain Lands Acquisition Project.

Construction methods will include both open cut and directional drilling. The existing Rosemount Heights combined sewer was constructed in the 1930's to service the surrounding developed areas, the sewer crosses under the Don River and is difficult to maintain. It is presently in poor condition, and a number of failures have occurred in recent years. A Class Environmental Assessment for this project was conducted in 1996 to evaluate alternatives for replacing the combined sewer, the City of Toronto updated this Class EA in 2005. The combined sewer will ultimately function as a sanitary sewer following the development and implementation of stormwater management in the Rosemount Heights area. A portion of the proposed sewer to be installed across Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) property will run through Reid Manor Park within the Lower Don River parklands. The Reid Manor Park lands are owned by TRCA and managed by the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department. The City of Toronto has formally requested.a permanent easement from TRCA for the combined sewer, between Bayview Avenue and Millwood Road, west of Don Valley Parkway. An archaeological investigation is required for any works on TRCA owned lands. When the clearance has been received from TRCA's Archaeologist, staff will be in a position to issue the permit. Control of Flooding: TRCA Water Management staff have reviewed the proposal and are satisfied that there will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (sediment fence, temporary rock check dam) will be maintained for the duration of construction and until the site is stabilized and restored. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the development. Conservation of Land: As watercourses will not be impacted by the development, no fisheries concerns will result. Plantings All lands disturbed by construction will be stabilized and, where deemed appropriate by TRCA staff, revegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant material in accordance with existing TRCA landscaping guidelines. The landscape and planting plan will be coordinated by The City of Toronto Parks Department. A net ecological gain will be achieved for this site, which will include invasive species management. 632 Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The permit will be issued for the period of September 8, 2006 to September 7, 2008 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Site Plan, prepared by G. Occhiuto, dated August 10, 2006, stamped received by TRCA Planning and Development staff August 10, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of this proposal is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a 162.30 square metre (1746.98 sq. ft.) addition to an existing residential dwelling and the relocation of an existing barn structure at 7711 Castlederg Sideroad, in the Town of Caledon. The subject property is located on the south side of Castlederg Sideroad, between The Gore Road and Humber Station Road. The proposed works are located on the tableland portion of the subject property. The subject lands are heavily vegetated and have been identified as a 'target area' for natural cover enhancement through the TRCA's Terrestrial Natural Heritage Strategy (TNHS). Although the proposed works will necessitate the removal of existing vegetation, 647 extensive re- naturalization along the edge of an existing woodlot, which is contiguous to the valley corridor, is proposed. Please note, based on a site inspection conducted by TRCA staff, the ecological function of the vegetation to be removed appears to be limited. TRCA staff believe that the landscape enhancements along the edge of the existing woodlot will achieve a net ecological gain for this site. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Floodplain. As such, the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted as a result of construction. Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion controls (i.e., silt fence) have been proposed with this application and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns associated with this project. Conservation of Land: Although vegetation removal is necessary to facilitate this project, TRCA staff has confirmed that no significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. An extensive re- naturalization scheme is proposed to mitigate for this vegetation removal and will achieve a net ecological gain for this site. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this proposal. Plantings Extensive re- naturalization is proposed to further enhance the adjacent woodlot and valley corridor function. All proposed plant species are native and non - invasive, consistent with TRCA's guidelines. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is in with Section 4.2.2 (B) - Major Additions and Section 4.2.2 (E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This application involves the enclosure of approximately 50 metres of a small tributary of the Humber River, located adjacent to King Street West in the Village of. Bolton. This project is being completed to ensure the long -term stability of this section of King Street, as the road is located directly adjacent to a valley wall that is being eroded by the subject watercourse. A geotechnical analysis submitted in support of this application indicates that re- stabilization measures are required. Through enclosing this section of the watercourse, this valley wall (which also forms the road embankment) can be reconstructed at a lesser, more stable grade. The subject application was previously considered, and approved by the Executive Committee on April 2, 2004. A permit, under Ontario Regulation 158 was issued for the proposed works, however, due to funding constraints, the project was not initiated. As the previous TRCA permit and corresponding DFO Authorization has expired, and the property is now regulated under Ontario Regulation 166/06, TRCA staff have requested that the renewal of the permit be dealt with through a new Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit application. None of the works previously approved, have substantially changed, and TRCA staff remain to be satisfied that the proposal meets TRCA's policy requirements. An extension to the previously provided DFO Authorization has also been provided. The reach of this tributary in-which this enclosure is to be completed, has been significantly altered both up and downstream, with on -line stormwater management ponds located to the north and south of this site, and previously enclosed sections of the watercourse to the north. In addition to all disturbed areas being restored using native, non- invasive plant species, additional compensatory plantings are proposed within riparian areas of this valley reach, as a component of this project. The applicant has submitted a Habitat Compensation Plan which provides details on the proposed plantings. Control of Flooding: The works will occur within the Regional Storm Floodplain, however the storage and conveyance of stream and storm flows have been considered in the design of this enclosure, and no significant impacts on the storage or conveyance of these flows is anticipated. 651 Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be put in place, and the work environment will be isolated during construction to reduce the impact on surrounding features. All vegetation affected during the construction process will be restored to pre- construction condition. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: The subject works are being completed to address an existing erosion hazard. The proposed works will allow for a more stable slope, and long -term solution to be provided. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation or geotechnical concerns exist with respect to this application. Fisheries concerns will be addressed through the application of the MNR fisheries timing window, and through the issuance of an Authorization (currently in process) from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The proposed voluntary restoration plantings within this valley reach has been accepted by both DFO and TRCA staff as being adequate compensation for the proposed enclosure. Plantings Affected lands will be restored to pre- construction condition with native, non - invasive seed species. Additional plantings, including 61 trees and shrubs (consisting of aspen, spruce, cedar, dogwood and elder) are to be planted along riparian areas within this reach of the watercourse in accordance with the associated Habitat Compensation Plan. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3- Infrastructure and Servicing of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The proposal is located within the newly developing West Cathedraltown area of Markham bounded by Woodbine Avenue to the east and Elgin Mills Road, to the North. As part of the West Cathedral Secondary Plan and Master and Environmental Servicing Plan, the portion of East Carleton Creek that traverses the plan area is to be restored. This restoration is to take the form of a widened valley corridor and the realignment of the entire watercourse within the West Cathedraltown area based upon natural channel design principles. Currently, the watercourse is highly altered due to the former agricultural use adjacent to it. This work will require several permits from TRCA for different phases of the work as the project moves forward. This application is the first permit application for works associated with the realignment of the East Carleton Creek. Portions of the diversion swale, which did not require a permit from TRCA, have been constructed during the late spring and early summer months in order to allow the banks to be stabilized and vegetated. The works proposed as part of this permit would complete the diversion channel by connecting it to the watercourse at the upstream and downstream ends so that the water may be diverted through the stabilized and vegetated swale. The diversion will permit the construction of the future Woodbine By -pass crossing, proposed local street crossings and the new re- aligned channel to be constructed in:the dry. Permits are to be brought forward for the crossings and the new watercourse alignment at a future date once a final design has been prepared. These works will constitute a Harmful Alteration Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of Fish Habitat pursuant to the Fisheries Act (Canada)and will require Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The TRCA permit will not be issued for the proposed works until such time as the Authorization has been issued. Control of Flooding: The diversion swale has been sized to accommodate minor storm events in accordance with TRCA requirements. Pollution: Appropriate Sediment and Erosion control measures will be put in place and maintained during construction and operational phases. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: The portions of the swale that did not require a permit were constructed earlier this year in order to ensure that vegetation could grow prior to the introduction of flows - helping to minimize sedimentation and erosion. There are no geotechnical concerns associated with this proposal. Conservation of Land: Fisheries concerns are to be addressed through the Ministry of Natural Resources' fisheries timing window and the DFO Authorization review process. Landscape plans have been provided to ensure that the swale is well vegetated while in use. 655 Plantings Landscape plans have been provided which will ensure that the swale is well vegetated. Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The stormwater management pond does not have a sediment forebay and has overtime silted up. This dredging work will result in the stormwater management facility being graded back to its original design enabling the facility to function at its optimum level. The stormwater management facility located on the west side of Coleraine Drive is on -line and functions as the headwaters to a downstream tributary located on the east side of Coleraine_ Drive. Storm drainage from the pond outlets through a culvert under Coleraine Drive. Recognizing that this facility is on -line, measures to prevent sediment from reaching the downstream watercourse have been incorporated into the design of this project. In addition, TRCA Planning Ecology staff has confirmed that the function of the downstream watercourse will not be negatively impacted as a result of the upstream pond draining and dredging work. Control of Flooding: The existing stormwater management facility is located outside of the Regional Floodplain. As such, the proposed works will not adversely impact the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters. 671 Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures have been proposed with this application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction. The proposed works will improve the function of the stormwater management facility and improve water quality entering the downstream watercourse feature. In order to reduce maintenance efforts in the future and improve the overall function of the stormwater management facility, opportunities to retrofit the pond by implementing a sediment forebay will be explored and where possible implemented.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This permit is one of two to be considered by the Executive Committee relating to initial site preparation works, to facilitate the creation of a residential subdivision on the subject property. The subject property is located north of Major Mackenzie Drive, east of Highway 404, in the Cathedral West community, Town of Markham. The property is traversed by a drainage feature, which provides flows to the West Branch of Carlton Creek. This feature is ill- defined on the subject property, and is not considered to be a watercourse by TRCA staff at this location. In the preparation of the Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP), it was determined in consultation with TRCA staff, that a greater environmental benefit could be provided through the provision of additional buffer lands on the East Branch of Carlton Creek, which traverses lands to the north, within the Cathedral West community. As such, the portions of the feature on the subject property will not be retained, however, a stormwater management pond is being provided on the subject property which will maintain flows to the downstream areas of the West Branch of Carlton Creek. As this feature is not considered to be a watercourse by TRCA staff, the portions of this feature which are to be removed are not identified in TRCA's Regulation mapping. A portion of the subject property is however, Regulated by the TRCA, as a result of the floodplain associated with the West Branch of Carlton Creek that extends onto the subject property. All proposed grading works will be completed in accordance with the MESP. A temporary outlet from the required sediment and erosion control pond is also proposed. 676 Control of Flooding: A small portion of the proposed works will be located within the existing Regulatory Floodplain. These works are however being completed in accordance with the master Environmental Servicing Plan for the area, and are not anticipated to have any permanent impacts on floodlines within this area. Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures are to be installed and maintained during all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion* TRCA technical staff has confirmed that there are no slope stability and /or erosion related concerns with this application. Conservation of Land: The subject works are being completed within an area recently utilized for agricultural purposes. Consequently, no significant vegetation will be removed as a result of this project. Plantings A comprehensive valley restoration plan will be submitted as a component of future works directly downstream of the subject property, which will be considered under a separate future permit.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 680 Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to place fill material and alter an intermittent watercourse in order to establish a recreational trail. The proposed works are located within a woodlot which is contiguous to the Little Rouge River valleylands in the southwest portion of the Town of Whitchurch - Stouffville, south of Main Street, west of Ninth Line. As part of a residential development known as Wheler's Mill, the Town of Whitchurch- Stouffville has requested that the developer construct the trail as a condition of development approval. The proposed trail forms part of the towns overall future trail system plan. TRCA staff have been involved in all aspects of the design and location of the trail. The route alignment has been chosen to minimize tree removals and impacts on the woodlot. A small intermittent watercourse which forms a tributary to the Little Rouge River is proposed to be crossed by the trail via a box culvert. The area of disturbance along the woodlot will be 4 metres in width. The final trail is to be between 2.5 to 3 metres in width and paved with asphalt. Control of Flooding: The majority of the trail is outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain and will have no impact on the control of flooding. At the location of the tributary crossing, the proposed culvert has been designed to adequately convey the flows from minor storm events. Pollution: Sediment and erosion controls will be implemented as part of the proposed works and are to be maintained for the duration of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical issues associated with this proposal. Conservation of Land: The location of the trail alignment has been staked with TRCA staff and was chosen to minimize the amount of tree removals, however some vegetation within the wood lot is proposed to be removed in order to accommodate the trail. Plantings As the proposed trail is within a densely wooded wood lot, plantings have not been required as part of this proposal. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to construct a bridge structure within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and permanently place fill material for bridge abutments as part of the proposed Millard Street extension. The permit will be issued for the period of September 8, 2006 to September 7, 2008. • Millard Street Underpass General Arrangement, drawing number ST -01, prepared by Morrison Hershfield, received by TRCA on May 19, 2006; • Bridge Plan and Profile Millard Street, Figure 1, prepared by SCS Consulting Group Ltd., received by TRCA on May 19, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to construct a bridge structure within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and permanently place fill material for bridge abutments as part of the proposed Millard Street extension. In addition, two underground crossings of the Little Rouge River are proposed at the bridge location in order to provide a sanitary sewer and watermain service for the developing area. The Town of Whitchurch - Stouffville has long planned a Millard Street extension in order to provide a northerly east west by -pass route as an alternative from the congested Main Street. The proposed works are located along the Little Rouge River valley corridor in the northwestern portion of the community, north of Main Street and east of Highway 48. The proposed bridge and servicing crossings form part of a residential plan of subdivision known as 'Tovtel' (file number 19T(W)- 03.005A). The proposed bridge is to be constructed of single -span precast concrete girders with a span of 22 metres across the Little Rouge River which will provide for a two lane crossing with sidewalks. The crossing size provides for an appropriate allowance for the meander of the watercourse and meets the 100 -year erosion rate criteria. In addition to the meander width and erosion rate sizing requirements, the crossing provides for a 3 metre pedestrian trail beneath the bridge. As a result, fish habitat and wildlife passage requirements have been exceeded. The two servicing crossings are to be located on the north and south sides of the bridge works. The crossings are to be installed using a directional drilling method and are to follow the Department of Fisheries and Ocean's Canada's Ontario Operational Statement for High- Pressure Directional Drilling in order to ensure that the fish habitat is not disturbed. The bore pits for the drilling have been adequately set back from the watercourse and TRCA staff have reviewed a geotechnical report undertaken to review the appropriateness of the servicing crossing locations. 682 Control of Flooding: TRCA water management staff have reviewed the proposal and the associate hydraulic modeling and have determined hat the proposed crossing structure is appropriately designed to convey the Regional Storm flood flows. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be in place for the duration of construction in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical issues associated with the bridge crossing. TRCA staff have reviewed a geotechnical report which supports the proposed directional drilling method for the servicing crossings. Conservation of Land: There are no significant natural heritage features at the location of the crossings. A planting plan forms part of this proposal which will provide for an enhanced riparian zone adjacent to the Little Rouge River as well as plantings along the re- graded valley slopes. ,The remainder of the valleylands are to be seeded with a native grass seed mixture. Plantings A planting plan has been prepared as part of this proposal as noted above. Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Work has been progressing steadily on the Don River Bridge. A component of the work requires USL to access the Ontario Realty Corporation's (ORC) construction site located within the West Don Lands area in order to facilitate construction of the Bala Pedestrian Underpass and to transport excavated materials from the Don River Bridge and Bala Pedestrian Underpass sites to the West Don Lands for eventual reuse in the construction of the Flood Protection Landform. As part of the agreement with ORC to access the West Don Lands for these activities; USL will be required to abide by ORC's Environmental Management Plan (EMP), which includes air quality monitoring equipment to be installed and maintained for the duration of our period of access to the West Don Lands to ensure that contaminated dust from the West Don Lands is not transported by wind beyond the confines of the construction area. In the interest of minimizing costs and impacts on the construction schedule, TRCA staff requested that ORC's contractor and consultant, Cannington Group and Caledon Industrial Hygiene Ltd, respectively, provide a quote for providing these services. On July 10, 2006, TRCA received a quote of $100,856.00, plus applicable taxes, on the basis of a five month duration. Given the value of the quote, the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC) required TRCA to obtain at least 2 other quotes. Cannington was authorized to provide these services for a 4 week period based on the monthly rates provided in their quote, to a maximum value of $20,738.40 (plus $1,600.00 for USL's involvement in data collection) in order to allow for construction to proceed on site while two other quotes were sought. On August 21, 2006, TRCA received quotes from SENES Consultants Limited and Golders Associated Limited. These were compared to Cannington /Caledon's rates as follows: SENES $163,100.00 for four months * Golders $461,500.00 for four months (excluding additional costs for response to alarms resulting from elevated dust levels)* Cannington /Caledon $75,081.60 for four months, plus the additional $20,738.40 required for air quality monitoring while the SENES and Golders quotations were sought* * Notes: 1) All of the above do not include the applicable GST. 2) For all quotes, USL would also charge an additional $400.00 / week for their monitoring participation. 691 3) Quotes from SENES and Golders were based on a four month period since 1 month of monitoring had already been authorized for Cannington /Caledon to proceed with work while other quotes were being sought. Given the quotes that have been provided, staff recommend that the Cannington Group and Caledon Industrial Hygiene Ltd be authorized to continue providing air quality monitoring services for the remainder of the original five months of work identified in their quote to an upset limit of $100,856.00, plus applicable taxes, and inclusive of USL's expenses. Staff also recommend that funding for an additional two months of air quality monitoring services be authorized as a contingency to an upset limit of $38,748.80, plus applicable taxes.

Receipt of report approved by the Chief Administrative Officer to retain Joanna Kidd of Kidd Consulting to proceed with the development of the 2007 Toronto and Region Remedial Action Plan (RAP) Progress Report as it was not the lowest bid received. 693 Moved by: Seconded by: Suzan Hall Rob Ford IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the report from the Chief Administrative Officer on award of contract for writing services to Kidd Consulting, who was not the lowest bidder, be received. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #5/05, held on June 24, 2005, Resolution #A124/05 approved the Purchasing Policy. As per Schedule 'A' of the policy, if the lowest bidder is not selected, a report shall be provided to the Executive Committee for their information at the next available meeting. In this regard, the following report approved by the Chief Administrative Officer on August 25, 2006 is provided for information. PROCUREMENT REPORT NOT REQUIRING BOARD APPROVAL Request for Quotation - Lowest Bid Not Accepted THAT the firm of Kidd Consulting be retained to undertake the writing and development of the 2007 Toronto and Region Remedial Action Plan Progress report at a total cost not to exceed $13,500 (excluding GST); AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized and directed to take such action as is necessary to implement the contract including signing of. documents. BACKGROUND The Toronto and Region Remedial Action Plan (RAP) has released one major progress report titled Clean Waters, Healthy Habitats (2001). This is in addition to the Stage I (1988) and Stage II (1992) reports. Clean Waters, Healthy Habitats looked at both the state of RAP impairments and management actions. This report stands as one of the most comprehensive pictures of aquatic habitat and water quality conditions across the Toronto city region. A second report on progress is planned for early 2007. RATIONALE The production of a progress report for the Toronto and Region RAP is timely for several reasons. It has been several years (2001) since environmental conditions were evaluated within the context of the Toronto and Region Area of Concern (AOC). The public, elected officials and different government agencies need to be updated on current conditions, the progress achieved and the assessment of that progress. This report will provide accountability for the funding allocated to the RAP and RAP supported projects. Illustrating the RAP successes over the last 5 years is necessary in order to encourage the continued support of the program as well as encourage others to align with the goals of the RAP. 694 The report will provide an analysis of environmental conditions within a compelling narrative written to encourage others to support and participate in the goals of the RAP, working together under the umbrella of the RAP to achieve environmental gains for the entire AOC. Strengthening partnership opportunities, in particular enhancing '416' and '905' collaboration, is important for the successful implementation of the RAP. It is anticipated this report will make obvious the benefit for municipalities to collaborate for making environmental gains. The collaborative process being adopted to complete the report will allow the RAP Team to re- examine the current priorities and implementation efforts and establish new priorities, if necessary. The report will also help set the course to achieve the 'Area of Recovery' status for Toronto and Region AOC by the year 2030. THE PROCESS The Toronto and Region RAP Team issued a total of five calls for proposals for a writer of the 2007 RAP Progress report. The following writers were asked to submit proposals: Anila Sunnak, Heidi Croft, Suzanne Barrett, Joanna Kidd and William Glenn. Of these five, three candidates submitted proposals: Joanna Kidd, Suzanne Barrett and William Glenn. The RAP Team considered each of the proposals and interviewed each of the candidates. The following criteria were used to select the writer: •. demonstrated ability to write a concise report that will be understood by the identified audience; • demonstrated ability to manage the project; • ability to work within the prescribed timelines; • flexibility to adapt to changing timelines; • demonstrated understanding of environmental management and activities within Toronto and Region, and familiarity with Remedial Action Plan programming and Great Lakes activities; • ability to attend up to five daytime meetings with the Toronto RAP Team and /or other project managers; • cost estimates related to the production of the report and executive summary • creativity; and • concepts for the report. The costs quoted by each writer were: Suzanne Barrett: Total cost (excluding GST): $12,675.00 ($975 /day) William M. Glenn: Total cost: $9100.00 ($70 /hour) Joanna Kidd: Total cost (excluding GST): $13,500.00 ($1000 /day) After careful consideration, Joanna Kidd of Kidd Consulting is recommended as the preferred writer by the members of the RAP Team. This decision is based on her extensive experience with environmental issues - within the Toronto AOC and knowledge of the RAP process. Joanna has been directly involved in Remedial Action Planning for a number of years; her experiences as a stakeholder in the Hamilton Harbour RAP, as chair of the City of Toronto's Waterfront Remedial Action Plan Committee and previous writing experience about the Toronto AOC will be invaluable in the development of this report. The RAP Team acknowledges that Kidd Consulting is more costly but is confident the selection will produce the desired report. The 695 RAP Team was impressed with her writing experiences, which include The Etobicoke and Mimico Creeks Watersheds Report Cards (2006), York Region State of the Environment Reports and an extensive list of other relevant publications. FINANCIAL DETAILS The three -part Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Environment Canada, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority provides the financial support for this project.

Donation of a conservation easement, located on the east side of Brock Road, south of Albright Road, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, under the "Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 - 2010 ", Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Duffins Creek watershed. Moved by: Seconded by: Rob Ford Michael Di Biase THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) accept the donation of a conservation easement for the protection of the environmental features and functions containing approximately 4.047 hectares (10.00 acres) of vacant land from Larry Lowell Griffiths and Judith Lynne Griffiths, said land being Part of Lot 9, Concession 5, Township of Uxbridge, in the Regional Municipality of Durham, further described as being Part 4 on Reference Plan 40R- 23538, situated on the east side of Brock Road, south of Albright Road; THAT the donation of the conservation easement is to be on the following basis; (a) the purchase price be $2.00; (b) an income tax receipt is to be made available to Larry Lowell Griffiths and Judith Lynne Griffiths for the appraised value of the easement in accordance with the guidelines set out by Canada Customs and Revenue Agency; (c) the TRCA is responsible for appraisal and reasonable legal fees. THAT Gardiner, Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be paid; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required. CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. 698 Larry Lowell Griffiths and Judith Lynne Griffiths have been excellent environmental stewards of their property and have indicated to the TRCA their desire to provide long term protection for the environmental features but at the same time retain ownership. The property is improved with a detached two storey residential dwelling with an ancillary outbuilding. It was felt that a conservation easement would be the best tool to provide long term protection to the resource while permitting the owners to enjoy their property. The negotiated conservation easement will restrict the owner of the property from creating severances, placing fill, constructing golf courses, altering watercourses and will permit TRCA to carry out compliance monitoring and remove and dispose of unapproved development. Attached is a sketch showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property is located on the east side of Brock Road, south of Albright Road, in the Township of Uxbridge, on the Oak Ridges Moraine. It is improved with a detached two storey residential dwelling with an ancillary outbuilding and the property is adjacent to TRCA's holdings in the Glen Major area. The property is within a significant headwater area in the Duffins Creek watershed, contains spectacular Oak Ridges Moraine topography and is a provincial candidate (ANSI) site. The acquisition of a conservation easement will provide long -term protection from development and this property will help consolidate the protection of the resource features provided by the TRCA holdings in the area. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the costs related to this purchase are available in the TRCA land acquisition capital account. Property maintenance and property taxes are the responsibility of the registered owner. There will be some minor costs to TRCA associated with administering the easement. Funds are available in TRCA's 2006 budget.

All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs, and disbursements are to be paid; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required. CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. The owner has received draft planning approval from City of Pickering for a plan of subdivision. One of the conditions imposed by the City of Pickering requires valleylands and a hedgerow to be transferred to TRCA, as identified by TRCA staff through the review of the plan of subdivision application. Negotiations have been conducted with the owner's agent, Mr. Alex Artuchov. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Carruthers Creek watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. The lands are comprised of valleylands. 701 TAXES AND MAINTENANCE On December 10, 2004, the Ontario government announced a regulation that expands the environmental criteria for lands that are eligible to receive a property tax exemption. Based on a preliminary review of the new criteria, it would appear that the majority of these lands will be eligible for the 2007 taxation year. The addition of the subject parcel will not have a significant impact on TRCA's costs for this area. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the costs related to this purchase are available in the TRCA land acquisition capital account.

Purchase of property located north of Langstaff Road and east of Martin Grove Road - Woodbridge, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, under the "Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 - 2010," Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Humber River watershed. Rob Ford Michael Di Biase THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 6.92 hectares (17.11 acres), more or Tess, of vacant land being Part of Lot 11, Concession 8 and designated as Blocks 135, 136 and 160 on a draft Plan of Survey prepared by Guido Papa Surveying Ltd., Ontario Land Surveyors, under their Reference No. 05 -210, dated March 30, 2006, City of Vaughan, north of Langstaff Road and east of Martin Grove Road - Woodbridge, be purchased from Stelltacc Properties Inc.; THAT the purchase price be $2.00; THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) receive conveyance of the land free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements; THAT the firm of Gardiner Roberts LLP, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs, and disbursements are to be paid; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required. CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. Negotiations have been conducted with Mr. Neil Palmer of Stelltacc Properties Inc.. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Humber River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. Through the review of residential subdivision 19T- 04V13, TRCA staff established the limits of the open space lands (i.e. Blocks 135, 136 & 160 of draft Plan of Survey) which are comprised of a portion of the Regional Storm flood plain and valley corridor along this reach of the Rainbow Creek. The property is located partially within the flood plain and is almost entirely within the Fill Regulated Area. There has been a long history of extensive fill placement, removal and regrading on. the regulated portion of this site (including the lands subject to this proposed acquisition) by the previous owner of the property. 704 Permit No. C -05051 was approved on March 3, 2005, at Executive Committee Meeting #1/05, to remove fill authorized by a TRCA permit issued approximately 20 years ago in order to re- create the valley wall / top of bank and to achieve an appropriate grade to facilitate the development of the residential subdivision. A revision to Permit No. C -05051 is presently under review by TRCA Planning and Development staff to incorporate the final grading plans for the site. A subsequent TRCA permit (No. C -06070 approved at Meeting #1/06, held on March 3, 2006) was issued for the excavation and placement of fill material for the expansion of an existing stormwater management pond located on the valley floor. These works were required to accommodate the additional stormwater generated from the new residential development and involved a balanced cut and fill within the Regional Storm flood plain. Both permits included grading and restoration on a portion of the blocks to be acquired by TRCA. As a condition of subdivision draft plan approval, TRCA staff requested the submission of a final comprehensive restoration and planting plan for all disturbed areas within the valley corridor, including the balanced cut and fill area / expanded stormwater management pond as well as the re- created valley wall and top of bank. This plan was submitted for review and found to be satisfactory by TRCA staff. The revision to Permit No. C -05051 presently being processed will include the planting and restoration plans; final grading and installation of all approved plant material is pending in this regard. Prior to the transfer of the acquisition blocks to TRCA, staff will ensure that appropriate securities are in -place to cover the final grading and planting work. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE On December 10, 2004, the Ontario government announced a regulation that expands the environmental criteria for lands that are eligible to receive a property tax exemption for the 2007 taxation year. Based on a preliminary review of the new criteria, it would appear that these lands will be eligible for the exemption. The addition of the subject parcel of land will not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs at this location. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the costs related to this purchase are available in the TRCA land acquisition capital account.

Rob Ford Michael Di Biase THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of a request from the Town of Richmond Hill to convey certain lands for the reconstruction of Bethesda Sideroad, between Bayview Avenue and Leslie Street in the Town of Richmond Hill; WHEREAS it is in the opinion of TRCA that it is in the best interest of TRCA in furthering its objectives, as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act, to cooperate with the Town of Richmond Hill in this instance; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT A PARCEL OF TRCA -owned land containing 0.70 hectares (1.74 acres), more or less, be conveyed to the Town of Richmond Hill for the reconstruction of Bethesda Sideroad, said land being Part of Lots 5 and 6, Concession 2, Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York, designated as Parts 1 and 3 on a Draft Plan of Survey prepared by Sexton McKay Ltd., under their Job No. 19132 (undated); THAT consideration be the nominal sum of $2.00, plus all legal, survey and other costs to be paid by the Town of Richmond Hill; THAT an archaeological investigation be completed, with any mitigative measures being carried out to the satisfaction of TRCA staff, at the expense of the Town of Richmond Hill; THAT all TRCA lands disturbed by the proposed works be revegetated / rehabilitated to the satisfaction of TRCA staff, including fences, buffer plantings, new sidewalks where required, and the reconstruction of the entrance to the Lake St. George Field Centre; THAT the Town of Richmond Hill is to fully indemnify TRCA from any and all claims from injuries, damages or costs of any nature resulting in any way, either directly or indirectly, from this sale or the carrying out of construction; THAT said conveyance be subject to approval of the Minister of Natural Resources in accordance with Section 21(2) of the Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter C.27, as amended; 716 AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect hereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject lands form part of a larger acreage acquired by TRCA from S. C. and M. L. Snively on June 29, 1966 under the Lake St. George Conservation Area Acquisition Project (TRCA lands north of Bethesda Sideroad - Part 1 on Draft Plan Of Survey) and Casa Developments Inc. on May 6, 2003 under the Natural Heritage Lands Protection and Acquisition Project for the Rouge River watershed (TRCA lands south of Bethesda Sideroad - Part 3 on Draft Plan of Survey). The Town of Richmond Hill has conveyed lands to TRCA over the years for nominal consideration of $2.00 and has requested that the TRCA -owned lands required for the Bethesda Sideroad reconstruction be conveyed for the nominal consideration of $2.00. No other TRCA lands will need to be utilized by the Town of Richmond Hill in this area for temporary construction purposes. A plan illustrating the fee simple conveyance location is attached. The reconstruction of Bethesda Sideroad involves widening the roadside shoulders and ditches (approximately 8 metres on both sides of the road) as part of creating a paved, 2 lane standard rural road. Due to the wider shoulder and ditch network, existing utilities (i.e. Bell telephone cable and hydro poles) must be extended beyond the new ditches. As a result, both the north and south TRCA property line fences and existing vegetation will be impacted by the road reconstruction work. To address these impacts, the Town of Richmond Hill has agreed to install a fence along the new property lines and reconstruct the entrance to the Lake St. George Field Centre (LSGFC) to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. In addition, staff has requested that a sidewalk be constructed on the south side of Bethesda Sideroad to link the TRCA property to the south of the road with other publicly -owned parkland and the Lake Wilcox Community Centre to the west. Plantings: All vegetation removed during construction will be replaced with native herbaceous and woody plant material. Additional native trees and shrubs will form a vegetative buffer along the inside of the new TRCA property line on both sides of Bethesda Sideroad. FINANCIAL DETAILS The Town of Richmond Hill has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing this transaction.

Update on the membership of the Community Liaison Committee for the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project. Rob Ford Michael Di Biase THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the updated membership of the Community Liaison Committee (CLC) for the second stage of the Environmental Assessment for the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project be confirmed, including the addition of Miziwe Biik and the replacement of Parkdale Waterfront Group with Waterfront Action. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection (DMNP) Project will transform the existing mouth of the Don River into a sustainable and functional naturalized river mouth, while removing the risk of flooding to 230 hectares of land east and south of the river. The DMNP is being conducted as an Individual Environmental Assessment (EA). A Terms of Reference (ToR) for the DMNP Project received approval by the Minister of Environment on August 17, 2006 and the project now enters the second stage, the development of the EA. A CLC was established for the first stage of the EA which provided valuable input during this process. Given the length of time since the initiation of the project, it is necessary at this stage to update the list of organizations and their representatives. The continuation of these organizations as CLC members is currently being confirmed for the second stage of the EA. An update on the response received from these organizations follows. Further, an additional group is recommended for CLC membership based on requests by CLC members to reach out to aboriginal groups and take action to include representatives of the aboriginal community on the CLC. At Authority Meeting #5/06, held on June 23, 2006, Resolution #A144/06 was approved as follows: THAT the updated membership of the Community Liaison Committee (CLC) for the second stage of the Environmental Assessment for the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project, be approved. TRCA staff contacted the groups to confirm their representatives on the CLC. The following groups appointed representatives to the CLC: Don Watershed Regeneration Council (DWRC) - Carmela Canzonieri (member) and Don Cross (Acting Chair) Gooderham & Worts Neighbourhood Association - Sharon Poitras (Vice- President, External) and Julie Beddoes (member) Port Lands Action Committee - Dennis Findlay (Chair) and Paul Young (member) 719 • Riverside Area Residents Association - Linda Bourgeois (Chair) and Mary Kelly (Director) • St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Association - Dennis Glasgow and Sylvia Pellman (members) • Task Force to Bring Back the Don - Aynsley Morris (Vice- Chair) and Janice Palmer (Chair, Habitat Restoration Team) • Toronto Bay Initiative - Karen Sun (Board Member) • Toronto Cycling Committee - Clay McFayden and Hamish Wilson (members) • Waterfront Action - David White (member) and Pam Mazza (member) • West Donlands Committee - Julie Beddoes (member) and Cindy Wilkey (Chair) • Woodgreen Community Services - Susan McMaster (member) Although many groups have appointed two representatives, it is with the understanding that only one need attend a given meeting. In addition, the Mississaugas of the New Credit will continue as a corresponding member of the CLC, as represented by Margaret Sault. The CLC will also continue to invite to CLC meetings and provide meeting materials to the following political representatives: • Toronto Councillors (Wards 28 and 30) • Members of Provincial Parliament (Toronto Centre - Rosedale and Toronto - Danforth) • Members of Parliament (Toronto Centre - Rosedale and Toronto - Danforth) Confirmation regarding involvement on the CLC and representatives from the following remaining organizations as listed in the CLC Terms of Reference is pending: • Corktown Residents and Business Association • Southeast Downtown Economic Redevelopment Initiative • Toronto Metis Council In addition to the above, Miziwe Biik has also been invited to join the CLC. Miziwe Biik is an organization that works with a client base of over 800 Aboriginal people in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Representatives report back to the organization and its client base on a monthly basis through monthly board meetings, their website and a quarterly newsletter. Miziwe Biik Aboriginal Employment and Training counsels Toronto urban native people on career paths and opportunities, works with employers to secure employment opportunities, delivers federal and provincial training programs, and works with both groups and individuals to achieve these endeavours. Kenn Ross (Manager, Aboriginal Business Resource Centre) and Nancy Martin (Executive Director) have been appointed to represent Miziwe Biik on the CLC. 720 The Terms of Reference have been further revised to replace Parkdale Waterfront Group with Waterfront Action as a CLC member organization. The two groups have the same leadership but the latter has a wider mandate and is more interested in the DMNP Project. This change was made at the request of David White, who holds leadership roles in both organizations. Also, TRCA staff was informed that Citizens for the Old Town and Port Lands Partnership will not be appointing representatives to the CLC. The Terms of Reference attached here have been revised as above.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to construct Phase 1 of the "FilmPort" project comprising 21,550 square metres of sound stages, production offices and support facilities. The entire proposed FilmPort development is 45 acres located in the Toronto Port Lands in the vicinity of Commissioner's Street, between the Don Roadway to the west, Lakeshore Boulevard to the north, Bochette Street to the east, and the Ship Channel to the south. This area is entirely within the Lower Don Special Policy Area. Phase 1, subject of this permit application, is 11 acres located south of Commissioner's Street and is bisected by Basin Street and Saulter Street. The grading proposal for Phase 1 has been reviewed by TRCA Water Resources Engineering staff and will not have an impact on flooding nor have the potential to impact any of the alternatives to implementation of the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project Environmental Assessment, currently underway. However, additional Phases of FilmPort will need to be integrated within the selected alternative in order to ensure that grades match any proposed design for the Don Greenway / Don Roadway required for flood conveyance. Control of Flooding: Portions of the Phase 1 site are estimated to be slightly below the grade of the Regional Storm Flood Elevation. As part of this proposal, the Phase 1 site will be elevated by up to 400 mm, bringing the entire site above of the floodplain. This will have no impact on the control of flooding as the revised grading is minor and the site is located in close proximity to Lake Ontario. Pollution: Temporary sediment and erosion controls will be installed during construction. Stormwater management is by way of direct discharge of clean roof water to an existing outfall to the Ship Channel, and a temporary swale system to treat runoff from the parking and impervious ground areas, before discharging to the Ship Channel ouffall. The stormwater management system will be upgraded with additional quality control in future Phases. 741 Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical issues with the proposal. Water quantity control is not required as the stormwater discharges to Lake Ontario. Conservation of Land: The site is currently undeveloped former industrial lands and does not contain any significant natural resources. Plantings Landscaping of the temporary swale system will be installed through City of Toronto approvals. Policy Guidelines: The proposal is in consistent with Section 4.2.1 (B) - Development /Redevelopment within Designated Two Zone Areas or Special Policy Areas - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to install slope stabilization measures along degraded portions of the road bed on McCowan Road (and one location on Warden Avenue) in areas where the watercourse runs adjacent to the road. The permit will be issued for the period of October 13, 2006 to October 12, 2008 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Dewatering Scheme - Site F - 1588m North of Stouffville Road; dated September 25, 2006; received September 26, 2006; prepared by York Region Transportation and Works; • Typical Section A - Slope Repair McCowan Road; dated September 25, 2006; received September 26, 2006; prepared by York Region Transportation and Works; • Typical Section B - Minor Slope Repair McCowan Road; dated September 25, 2006; received September 26, 2006; prepared by York Region Transportation and Works; • McCowan Road - Slope Repair Locations; dated September 19, 2006; received September 26, 2006; prepared by York Region Transportation and Works; • Warden Avenue - Slope Repair Locations; dated September 19, 2006; received September 26, 2006; prepared by York Region Transportation and Works. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The existing gravel road bed was sloughing off in a number of locations along McCowan Road where the watercourse runs parallel to the road in the roadside ditch. A single site on Warden Avenue in a similar condition was identified. TRCA staff identified that immediate stabilization of the failing roadside banks was necessary to avoid negative impacts to the watercourse, and to prevent damage to the road. Further, it was determined that the proposed works must take place by September 30 to avoid impacts to the cold water fisheries resource. 753 In consideration for this, TRCA staff reviewed the application and issued an Emergency Works approval so that the proposed stabilization could be implemented immediately. The application is being brought forward at this time for ratification by the Executive Committee. The proposal consisted of the installation by hand of a stabilization system for each impacted area consisting of filter socks filled with a mix of stones, compost material and seed mix that were installed by excavating into the road bed at the extent of the impacted area. The slope was backfilled with stone, compost and seed mix to complete the wall. The socks were anchored with netting and reinforced with dead stout stakes, to be supplemented with live staking in November. The road bed at Station 1 +588 was of particular concern, as the bed was sloughing off on the western side, into the watercourse (which is directly adjacent to the road bed) for approximately 12m along the length of the road. Extensive stabilization into the edge of the bank was required to avoid the undermining of the road, and the deposit of granular material into the watercourse. In this case, a pea gravel bag coffer dam was installed directly above the work area and a pump was used to divert flow to work in the dry. The condition of the road bed at the other identified locations was more minor in nature, however stabilization was still deemed to be required to avoid further degradation, and potential impacts to the watercourse. In most cases, the impacted areas did not extend to the watercourse. In those cases where stabilization was required up to the edge of the watercourse, the socks were installed by hand by excavating into the existing bank with due caution to avoid unnecessary sedimentation. No sediment controls were installed in the watercourse, as this would have caused additional disturbance. Control of Flooding: There are no significant impacts to flooding from the proposed works. Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion controls were implemented to minimize disturbance to the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no significant slope stability or geotechnical concerns with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: The stabilization measures included the seeding and restoration of the existing gravel road bed to a more natural state, providing an ecological improvement to the adjacent watercourse. The location of the proposed stabilization works is within the Oak Ridges Moraine and Greenbelt. This project has been reviewed for the tests and best management practices as described in section 41(5)(a to e) of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. 754 Plantings An appropriate native seed mix was used as part of the slope stabilization. Live pussy willow staking will take place in November to supplement the stabilization system. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to construct and develop within a Regulated Area, outside of the Regulatory floodplain, to facilitate the construction of a natural gas metering station. The permit will be issued for the period of October 13, 2006 to October 12, 2008. • Letter of Undertaking provided by Chris Topos, Enbridge Gas, dated October 11, 2006, to address outstanding TRCA Ecology comments prior to the issuance of the permit. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This permit application is to permit the construction of a gas metering station, located directly to the east of the Trans Canada Pipeline, south of Sandalwood Parkway, in the City of Brampton. Permits have been previously approved by the Executive Committee for the construction of a new natural gas power station, located south of Queen Street, directly west of Goreway Drive in the City of Brampton. Permission to build the facility was recently provided by the Ontario Government and, the "Sithe Energies - Goreway Station" power station is now under construction. The metering station which is included in the subject permit is required to transfer the natural gas supply from the Trans Canada Pipeline to a local supply system - owned and operated by Enbridge Gas - that will supply the new power plant. The proposed metering station is located on tablelands adjacent to the valley system associated with the `H2' Tributary of the Humber River. A portion of the subject property is Regulated by the TRCA, as a result of its proximity to the adjacent top of bank. The site in which the metering station is to be located is surrounded by a tableland woodlot, which is contiguous with the adjacent valley corridor. Due to the limited number of viable sites for the metering station, the subject site was selected as the preferred location for the station, with consideration for all of the anticipated impacts. The proposed metering station and associated pipeline on the subject property will impact upon the tableland woodlot. However, having few other viable sites, the proponent has worked to minimize the potential impacts, through reducing the footprint of the metering station to the greatest possible extent, and through providing for compensation for all lost woodlot areas using a net gain approach. As a component of this project, areas adjacent to the woodlot will be replanted to strengthen the edges of the woodlot, and restoration and enhancement of currently disturbed areas the valleylands downstream of the subject property will be provided. 757 Control of Flooding: The works will not occur within the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no permanent modifications to the storage and conveyance of stream and storm flows are anticipated as a result of this project. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be provided for all phases of the construction process. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: No geotechnical concerns exist with respect to this application. Conservation of Land: Significant vegetation will be removed as a result of this project, however a comprehensive restoration and re- vegetation strategy has been provided. Areas in which vegetation is disturbed in the construction process that can be restored after construction is complete will be re- vegetated and restored immediately following construction. Plantings Plantings are being provided both within the adjacent H2 valley corridor, and on lands adjacent to the woodlot on the subject property, in accordance with TRCA's planting guidelines. Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section - 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Authorization for staff to continue detailed design discussions, enter into final negotiations and reach an agreement towards the rehabilitation of Mayvon Pond, in Block 12, in the City of Vaughan. 788 Moved by: Seconded by: Suzan Hall David Barrow THAT authorization be given to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff to enter into final negotiations and to finalize an agreement toward the rehabilitation of Mayvon Pond, in Block 12, in the City of Vaughan; THAT staff continue to work with the applicant, representatives for the Block 12 Landowners Group and their consultants to ensure that the requirements of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program are met as they pertain to the proposed works and that a state -of- the -art channel rehabilitation be implemented; THAT Restoration Services staff be permitted to construct the finalized, approved project for the proposed rehabilitation of Mayvon Pond, subject to acceptance by the applicant and the Block 12 Landowners Group; THAT staff be permitted to clear the condition of draft plan approval for Mayvon Investments (19T- 00V02) for the dedication of the valleylands by allowing these lands to be held in trust for the interim, until the requisite regulatory approvals and a construction agreement are in place for the proposed works; AND FURTHER THAT the City of Vaughan and all parties and participants for the proposed works be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND Block 12 Block Plan: In 2003, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff were part of the review team for the Block 12 Block Plan. The plan primarily proposed low density residential development for the Block area, complemented by five neighbourhood parks and twelve stormwater management facilities. Block 12 is bounded by Major Mackenzie Drive to the south, Dufferin Street to the east, Bathurst Street to the west and Teston Road to the north. The Block Plan area will accommodate a total of 3,086 dwelling units. Concurrent to the Block 12 Block Plan review, TRCA staff reviewed the Block 12 Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP). The MESP verified in concept the location and size of stormwater management facilities, along with the identification of natural features on site and discussion of their significance. Appropriate buffers were established from these natural feature areas, which will eventually be placed into public ownership. Subsequent to TRCA staff review and the resolution of outstanding issues and concerns, approvals of the Block 12 Block Plan and MESP were provided on January 17, 2003. On September 20, 2003, City of Vaughan council approved the Block Plan for Planning Block 12. Draft Plan of Subdivision: In December 2003, the applicant (Mayvon Investments Limited) submitted Draft Plan of Subdivision Application 19T -00V02 and Zoning Amendment Application Z.00.021 to the City of Vaughan, for Part of Lot 22, Concession 2, in Planning Block 12, in the City of Vaughan. 789 The purpose of the applications is to rezone the subject lands to permit the development of a residential subdivision consisting of 133 detached residential lots and 30 semi - detached lots. The applications also included a 22.7 ha (56.2 acre) open space block along with a 2.11 ha (5.2 acre) woodlot. The subject lands are located on the east side of Dufferin Street, north of Major Mackenzie Drive and are approximately 40.9 ha (101 acres) in size. MAYVON POND: The Project: In addition to the discussion of natural features in Block 12, the approved MESP also identified opportunities to improve aquatic habitat linkages through the removal of several barriers in the stream courses of the new community. The East Don River, which flows through the Block 12 area, is disrupted by several barriers to fish migration. To be consistent with the Don Watershed Fisheries Management Plan (1996), a recommendation was made to restore the watercourse and improve connectivity of fish habitat on the Mayvon lands. Two ponds on the Mayvon lands were identified as part of the restoration works in this area. The first pond is a shallow on -line pond (East Mayvon Pond), which is considered a barrier to fish passage, while the second pond (West Mayvon Pond) is a deeper off-line pond. As part of the rehabilitation works, the deeper off-line pond is to be removed and regraded as part of the Block Plan /Draft Plan requirements. The stream channel is to be relocated through the former off -line pond location and reconnected. The pond removal and channel restoration will remove the fish barrier and help improve coldwater aquatic habitat linkages to the headwaters of the East Don River. The East Mayvon Pond will be removed but will receive periodic flows from the re- designed stream channel during high flow periods and events. By taking this pond off -line, it is expected that this area will transition to a small wetland /marsh area, thus providing both terrestrial and aquatic habitat opportunities. It is expected that maintenance of the site will be minimal once the restoration project has been completed. A monitoring program will be implemented for the site to evaluate the post- construction performance and stability of the channel and restorative plantings. Given the in -water component for the proposed works, authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be required for a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. However, it is anticipated that it will result in a net benefit and an overall environmental gain for aquatic and terrestrial habitat for this area. DFO authorization will be required prior to the issuance of TRCA approvals under Ontario Regulation 166/60 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses). At this time, the applicant's consultants have submitted preliminary design drawings. However, finalized plans along with an application for a permit under O.Reg. 166/06 have not been received for the proposed restoration of the Mayvon Pond Area. 790 Construction Works: Restoration work of this type is a specialized form of environmental construction which is not traditionally well done by the development contracting industry. These types of fine landscaping works are a specialty for TRCA's internal Restoration Services group. In order to ensure that the works are completed in a satisfactory manner and that aquatic resources are sufficiently protected, the developers have requested that the removal of the off -line pond and the construction of the new channel corridor be executed by TRCA. It is intended that the developers will fund all costs associated with construction and monitoring works and will transfer the open space block to TRCA at the appropriate time. TRCA staff believe that construction during the winter season will be ideal (i.e. frozen ground for construction vehicles and minimal dewatering requirements) given soil conditions at the proposed work site (organic soils with groundwater discharge). This work may be carried for the 2006 -2007 winter season, or alternatively the 2007 -2008 winter season, dependent on timing as it pertains to the attainment of requisite regulatory approvals. Release of Conditions of Draft Plan Approval: With the Block Plan and MESP already approved, TRCA staff provided conditions of draft plan approval for Draft Plan of Subdivision Application 19T- 00V02. The draft plan and associated zoning amendment applications were approved by the City of Vaughan Council on May 17, 2004. One of the conditions for draft plan approval by TRCA includes the requirement for the dedication of the open space valleylands along with associated buffers into public ownership, namely TRCA. This condition along with other requirements are to be fulfilled prior to the applicant's registration of the subdivision. RATIONALE After several working discussions about the process to implement this restoration project successfully, the following procedures are recommended: • A steering committee will be formed, consisting of TRCA staff (including technical experts), the applicant and the Block 12 Landowners Group along with their consultants to undertake the detailed design for the channel restoration works. This committee will work towards an approved set of technical design drawings for the Mayvon Pond restoration project. It is noted that TRCA staff will provide direct guidance and direction to the applicant's consultants, to ensure that our requirements, along with requirements of DFO, are addressed. The development group will pay for all design and technical studies as part of the normal permitting process. • It has been agreed that the applicant will make the proper application submissions, including an application for a permit under O.Reg. 166/06 and authorization for a HADD at DFO. • A formalized agreement will be made between TRCA and the trustee to ensure that the lands are dedicated to TRCA once restoration approvals are in place and staff are satisfied that all issues have been addressed, and prior to the transfer of the valleylands from Mayvon Investments into the trustee's possession. With this completed, the open space valleyland block, of which the Mayvon pond restoration area is a part, will be conveyed on a temporary basis into trust (Block 12 Landowners Inc., as the trustee). 791 • TRCA staff will provide clearance for'the condition requiring that the open space valleylands be dedicated into public ownership to permit the trustee to obtain the valleylands and to allow for Mayvon to proceed with registration. This is to be reflected in correspondence to the City of Vaughan detailing the modified clearance for this condition, whereby the lands will be temporarily conveyed to the trustee. • Once approvals have been obtained, TRCA Restoration Services staff will finalize details regarding costs associated with construction and implementation of the approved plans along with a monitoring program for the site. Once these details are resolved, TRCA will enter into a contractual agreement with the applicant pertaining to the construction of the works. With the completion of this agreement, dedication of the lands can be completed and a final contractual agreement and costs can be finalized. • Access to the site will be guaranteed by the applicant, to allow for TRCA staff and vehicles to construct the proposed works. Construction will commence after the transfer of land into public ownership and will be synchronized with the construction schedules of adjacent subdivision area works. The construction agreement will clearly state lines of liability during the various phases of construction. Benefits of Agreement: There are several benefits by instituting the above -noted activities for the proposed works: • From TRCA's perspective, TRCA will be able to oversee and construct a state -of- the -art natural channel restoration project as a unique partnering opportunity with a prominent development group. The project will provide a key ecological improvement opportunity for this section of the Don River and watershed. Valuable monitoring information will be obtained on this project as TRCA will be able to control design, construction and post- construction phases of its implementation. This will allow for dedicated attention to be paid towards impacts to aquatic habitat, riparian vegetation and the Mayvon Pond system as a whole, which may not necessarily be a priority for external contractors. • From the developer's perspective, the draft plan can be released for registration with a set agreement for land transfer and the natural channel construction in place. This process takes the time pressure off of restoration works approval and allows the appropriate level of work to take place for this important initiative. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff request authorization to proceed with the proposed agreement and schedule of activities as they pertain to the Mayvon Pond restoration area. Staff will continue to work with the applicant, and their consultants, along with DFO to ensure that this project is designed and implemented in a satisfactory manner.

RES. #B127/06 - Moved by: Seconded by: ENFORCEMENT AND SECURITY Appointment of Enforcement Officers and designation as Provincial Offences Officers. David Barrow Suzan Hall THAT the new appointments of Kyle Drake and Jennifer vanTol, and the reaffirmation of the existing appointments of Alan A. Willison, Patrick J. Doody, Cameron R. Kennedy, Paul V. Nowak and Brian H. Moyle as Enforcement Officers and Provincial Offences Officers be approved for the purposes of: • enforcing regulations made by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority pursuant to sections 28 and 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act; • enforcing the Trespass to Property Act. CARRIED BACKGROUND For the purpose of enforcing the regulations made by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), pursuant to section 28(1)(d)(e) of the Conservation Authorities (CA) Act, TRCA may appoint personnel as officers to enforce any regulation made under sections 28 and 29. Within TRCA the appointment would currently pertain to Ontario Regulations 166/06 and 119 respectively as they apply to the jurisdiction of TRCA. Further, the Minister of Natural Resources has implemented, under the authority of subsection 1(3) of the Provincial Offences Act R.S.O. 1990, a class designation process for all conservation authorities whereby any Enforcement Officer appointed under Clause 28 1(d)(e) of the CA Act shall be designated by the Minister simultaneously as a Provincial Offences Officer. Persons so appointed may address and have the authority to enforce all offences under the CA Act and Regulations, as well as the Trespass to Property Act, when carrying out duties within their conservation authority's jurisdiction. The prerequisite to the Minister's Provincial Offences Officer appointment is that all candidate officers be: Pursuant to the approval of the above -noted appointments, the Minister's requirements will have been addressed. Mr. Drake and Ms. vanTol are employees of TRCA's Parks and Culture division, and the appointment of these individuals as noted will assist our parks staff in ensuring all clientele continue to enjoy a positive recreational experience in accordance with park policy and standards of conduct. 794 Officers Willison, Doody, Kennedy, Nowak and Moyle constitute TRCA's Enforcement Section within the Planning and Development division. The officers have all previously held, and continue to hold, the designation of Provincial Offences Officer having been appointed by the Minister in accordance with the procedure of the day, and the reaffirmation of same to the current standards of the day, between 1983 and 2004. However, given the recent change to the regulations under section 28 of the CA Act and our recent move to the new Ontario Regulation 166/06, it is appropriate to update and reaffirm their appointments as officers of TRCA with all the associated authority as such as identified within the CA Act and Trespass to Property Act and the accompanying designation as Provincial Offences Officers.

David Barrow Suzan Hall THAT Conquest Seismic Services Ltd. of Calgary, Alberta, be retained to complete a seismic reflection survey in the vicinity of the community of Port Perry in the Regional Municipality of Durham at a cost not to exceed $90,000, plus applicable taxes. CARRIED BACKGROUND The York Peel Durham Toronto Groundwater Management Strategy Study was initiated in 2000 as a partnership between the regional municipalities of York, Peel, Durham, the City of Toronto (YPDT) and the Conservation Authorities Moraine Coalition (CAMC - Credit Valley, Toronto and Region, Central Lake Ontario, Nottawasaga, Lake Simcoe Region, Kawartha, Ganaraska Region, Lower Trent and Otonabee conservation authorities) with a view to arriving at consistency in groundwater management from a technical and analytical perspective as well as from a policy and management perspective. With similar goals and objectives, YPDT -CAMC staff are also directing groundwater work across the entire Oak Ridges Moraine. Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) manages the capital funding from our regional partners for these initiatives. YPDT -CAMC staff have overseen the acquisition of key field data for the partnership over the past five years. To date, the data has consisted of cored boreholes, seismic reflection data and stream flow measurements, all collected in strategic locations to further assist in delineating the groundwater flow systems within watersheds draining from the Oak Ridges Moraine. 795 The community of Port Perry has unsuccessfully been looking for new sources of water for a number of years. In 2005, the YPDT groundwater study undertook a seismic survey in the vicinity of Port Perry to assist the Regional Municipality of Durham in looking for new municipal groundwater supplies. That study successfully located a target aquifer and the Regional Municipality of Durham followed up with a test drilling program. The well intersected the target aquifer, which was quite coarse. A screen was put in the well in order to pump test the aquifer. Although the water quality was exceptional and the well was the most promising to be drilled in the Port Perry area in recent memory, the pumping test unfortunately determined that the aquifer was of limited lateral extent and was incapable of providing the quantities of groundwater required for hook up to the municipal system. Because of the near success of the previous seismic program, the Regional Municipality of Durham has asked the YPDT program to once again assist in finding other aquifer targets that might be targeted for testing to develop additional municipal supplies in the Port Perry vicinity. YPDT staff have reviewed all available information in the YPDT database and are recommending that another seismic survey be undertaken consisting of two lines totaling approximately 11 km in length. The survey is to be conducted in the fall of 2006, since this is a period when Conquest will have their equipment shipped to Ontario from Alberta for other seismic projects. This will allow the majority of costs related to shipping to be borne by other projects. The survey will consist of driving the mini -vibe instruments along portions of rural roads. The machines are frequently stopped to vibrate energy deep into the ground. Energy that returns to the surface is recorded using a series of geophones. The data is then processed to provide an indication of the subsurface stratigraphy. The York Peel Durham Toronto Groundwater Management Strategy study continues to provide an example of a successful partnership initiative between the federal government, the province, municipalities and conservation authorities. The proposed seismic survey is intended to assist the Regional Municipality of Durham with locating target aquifers for follow -up drilling. RATIONALE Conquest is currently the only firm in Southern Ontario that has the equipment needed to carry out the survey, and even then their equipment is typically in Alberta undertaking surveys for oil and gas companies. Conquest took over GAPS, the Guelph based firm that was previously used for this type of work, and changed the firm to a pure data acquisition firm; i.e. they no longer process the data. David Scheick, the previous owner of GAPS has been contacted in Alberta to assist with the processing of the data so that interpretations are possible. David Scheick will be undertaking the processing at his new location in Calgary. Seismic data processing is a specialized service, and with the oil and gas industry going full out, it is difficult to find companies willing to process this small amount of data for a reasonable price. The YPDT staff are confident that both firms are capable of carrying out the work to the satisfaction of the project at a reasonable cost. In accordance with the approved TRCA Purchasing Policy, Executive Committee approval is required for sole source procurement in the $50,000 to $200,000 range. The contract with David Scheick is a separate contract that will also be dealt with in accordance with the Purchasing Policy. 796 FINANCIAL DETAILS The seismic survey described above can be undertaken using existing project funds in account code 115 -90, at a cost not to exceed $90,000, plus applicable taxes.

Award of contract for integrated groundwater /surface water modelling. David Barrow Suzan Hall WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) requires watershed scale, three - dimensional groundwater flow modelling services integrated with continuous surface water modelling to complete Oak Ridges Moraine Plan requirements for the Humber Watershed; WHEREAS the Ministry of Natural Resources has requested that TRCA conduct a Water Budget screening assessment for source water protection planning; WHEREAS EarthFX Inc. has already developed a regional scale groundwater model to cover all of TRCA's watersheds; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT staff be directed to retain the firm of EarthFX Inc., of Toronto be retained to perform scenario modelling analysis at a cost not to exceed $49,500, plus applicable taxes; AND FURTHER THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) officials be authorized and directed to take such action as may be necessary to implement the contract including the signing of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 2001, the Province of Ontario released the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act accompanied by the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP). The plan requires that water budget analyses be conducted for all streams that originate on the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM). Specifically, these requirements include quantifying the components of the hydrologic cycle and characterizing the flow system (including both groundwater and surface water) using numerical models. In late 2004, the province re- iterated the need for water budget analyses as part of the source water protection planning process. Detailed guidance was issued in April 2006, and revised in September 2006. 797 A water budget analysis measures and characterizes the contribution of each component of the hydrologic system. The analysis should provide both a quantitative measure of the various components of the hydrologic cycle (precipitation, runoff, evapotranspiration, etc.) and an understanding of the pathways that water takes through a watershed. Although water budgets carried out for source water protection address drinking water sources, the results can be applied to entire aquatic ecosystems. For example, the results can improve the understanding and protection of aquatic ecosystems that rely on certain flow regimes within a given watershed. Beginning in 2000, a partnership formed by the regional municipalities of Peel, York and Durham, the City of Toronto and the nine conservation authorities located along the Oak Ridges Moraine (Conservation Authorities Moraine Coalition - York -Peel- Durham - Toronto [CAMC - YPDT]) initiated a detailed analysis of the groundwater flow systems associated with the ORM. EarthFX, working for the CAMC -YPDT partnership, collated all water - related data and information into a water resources database. The data includes streamflow, climate, borehole and water well information along with all available pertinent mapping and reports. Another major part of the work done forCAMC-YPDT included the construction and calibration of a three - dimensional numerical groundwater flow model for the central part of the ORM (referred to as the Core Model) which includes most of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) watersheds. The database and numerical model developed by EarthFX will be used extensively in this investigation as a tool for estimating water budgets on watershed and sub - watershed scales. In addition, a recharge model, developed by EarthFX as part of recent studies of the watersheds within the LSRCA and Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA), will be used to assess the effects of land use changes and increased pumping rates from population growth. TRCA staff require a consultant to build on the YPDT -CAMC regional groundwater flow model, assess the effects of future land use changes and identify potentially stressed subwatersheds. Because of EarthFX's knowledge and expertise developed through the development and calibration of the YPDT -CAMC groundwater flow model, they are uniquely qualified to undertake this additional modelling work. In accordance with the approved TRCA Purchasing Policy, CAO approval is required for sole source procurement under $50,000. SUMMARY The York -Peel- Durham - Toronto Groundwater Management Study continues to provide an example of a successful partnership initiative between the federal government, the province, municipalities and conservation authorities. The proposed modelling work will build on this foundation of knowledge and assist TRCA in preparation of watershed plans for the Oak Ridges Moraine watersheds, as well as complete the screening process for stressed subwatersheds for source water protection. 798 RATIONALE Since its development, EarthFX's work on the YPDT modeling project has received accolades from a number of key internationally known groundwater researchers including Dr. Frank Schwartz from the University of Ohio, Dr. Alfonso Rivera from the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and Ghislain de Marsily from the University Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris. TRCA staff continue to be pleased with the quality and the cost effectiveness of the modelling services received from EarthFX. The model is of world class status and has accelerated TRCA's ability to advance watershed planning and produce key map products for source water protection planning. The high calibre and cost - effectiveness of EarthFX's efforts has been recognized by the individual study partners in that five of the members, including TRCA, have retained EarthFX for additional projects beyond the scope of their work for the overall partnership. EarthFX Inc. has been the only groundwater modelling consultant used to date by the YPDT study team, and therefore they have unique knowledge of the model's design, calibration and operation. In addition, they have demonstrated a high degree of competence in their performance to date, as evidenced by favourable preliminary findings from YPDT's external peer review team. EarthFX has demonstrated through projects with the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) and LSRCA that they can successfully link the output of surface water models to their groundwater model. In addition, EarthFX will now be able to provide a seamless model product across the TRCA /CLOCA and TRCA /LSRCA boundaries, a key requirement for source water protection planning. The cost of retaining another firm to complete this work would be much higher and the process would take significantly longer, since there would be a substantial learning curve for another consultant to understand the geologic model construction and numerical model parameter estimation process. As well, all output will be processed through EarthFX's software product, Viewlog®, for which TRCA already has multiple licenses. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for this project is being made available from the Ministry of Natural Resources through source water protection and from groundwater modelling funding from our municipal partners in account numbers 120 -20, 120 -23, 120 -24, 121 -51 and 128 -41.

To award the contract for the manufacture and installation of office furniture system and components to Teknion through their corporate distributor SCI Interiors Limited. David Barrow Suzan Hall THAT the contract for the manufacture of office furniture system and components be awarded to Teknion and that the supply and installation of the furniture system be contracted with SCI Interiors Limited for the price of $119,177.98 (PST included, GST extra); THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) officials be authorized and directed to take such action as may be necessary to implement the contract including the signing of documents; AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to approve additional unspecified expenditures to a maximum of ten percent (10 %) of the total furniture system cost as a contingency allowance, if deemed necessary. CARRIED BACKGROUND In accordance with Authority Resolution #A308/04, approved at Authority Meeting #10/04, held on November 26, 2004, staff were directed to engage Montgomery Sisam Architects Inc. (MSA) to undertake the design and tendering for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified Restoration Services Centre at the Boyd North property (in close proximity to the Boyd Office). The Restoration Services Centre is the facility that will address long standing deficiencies related to the administration and operation of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) Indigenous Plant Propagation Program (Nursery) and the staging and implementation of resource management projects. The new facility also provides much needed office space to house staff from the Parks and Culture and Restoration Services divisions. The Restoration Services Centre building has been designed to achieve LEED Gold standard. Construction materials, methods and practices are required to meet this standard. Part of TM achieving this gold certification includes the use of Greenguard low- emitting furniture systems under the LEED Innovation and Design Process credit (IDc1). To that end, staff researched market suppliers to identify qualified suppliers and subsequently invited the following companies to provide a quotation for the furnishing systems they design, manufacture and install to meet the LEED requirements for certification: Teknion (SCI Interiors Limited) Steelcase (P01 Business Interiors) Both companies submitted their quotes and specifications for a standardized layout developed in consultation with our architectural consultant team. The prices received (8% PST included) were as follows: 800 • Teknion /SCI Interiors • Steelcase /POI Business Interiors $ 119,177.98 $ 137,770.20 Staff engaged a third party independent office design and furniture consultant to review the proposals received. Freeman + Freeman Design Inc. offered the following comments with regard to the two proposals: • both quotations provide a thorough solution; • the POI layout for the lower level office is preferred; • Teknion system is much easier to reconfigure for any future moves and offers greater flexibility; • Steelcase system does not reconfigure easily ... a less flexible system; • Teknion system offers a better solution for private offices and field offices; • both systems offer similar solutions for workstations with an average to good discount on pricing; • both furniture dealers offer a good to very good discount on their office and field office products. A better discount would be offered to long -term customers, or for very large orders (150+ work stations). Their comparison concluded with "we recommend the selection of the Teknion system, due to its superior flexibility, availability of components (made in Toronto), and overall durability. We believe SCI offers a good discount on their Teknion quotation. This is based on our experience with Teknion, Steelcase, ... furniture and system solution quotations that we have reviewed recently. ". On the basis of lowest quoted price and the independent review by Freeman + Freeman Design Inc., their product knowledge and market experience, staff is recommending that the contract be awarded to Teknion /SCI Interiors Limited. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds to support the purchase of office furnishings are available as part of the approved Restoration Services Centre budget in account 408 -88.

AMENDMENT RES. #B132/06 Moved by: Seconded by: Frank Dale Suzan Hall THAT the following be inserted after the main motion: THAT staff be congratulated for identifying the cost savings associated with material disposal on this contract; AND FURTHER THAT staff continue to scrutinize bids received for projects to ensure project costs are reasonable for the work required. THE AMENDMENT WAS THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED CARRIED BACKGROUND Maintenance dredging at Coatsworth Cut, Ashbridge's Bay Park was last completed in 2005 with the removal of approximately 2,500 cubic metres of material. The dredged material was tested and deemed to meet open water and parkland quality guidelines for subsequent disposal at Tommy Thompson Park (TTP) for use in the construction of habitat projects within the park. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) performed an updated sounding survey of the channel in May 2006, which indicated that additional material had been deposited within portions of the channel since completion of dredging operations in 2005. Due to the high water levels during the spring and summer seasons, sufficient water depths were maintained within the channel to allow for continued safe navigation. With lower water levels expected during the late summer and early fall, maintenance dredging is proposed to allow for continued navigation for the balance of the 2006 boating season and into 2007. RATIONALE Due to the redistribution of material within the channel and additional deposition, portions of the channel have become narrowed, limiting safe navigation for local boaters for the remainder of the 2006 season and into 2007. As a result, TRCA proposes to dredge approximately 3,800 cubic metres of material using a combination of water and land based equipment for dredging and off site disposal. Prices were requested for two disposal options for the dredgate, which included: TTP and the Mimico Waterfront Linear Park Project. The latter option was proposed pending receipt of funding approval for implementation of the TTP Master Plan. Funding approvals have now been received for implementation of the TTP Master Plan and subsequently the material will be disposed of at TTP for use in the construction of on site habitat projects as part of the Master Plan Implementation. 802 Contract RSD06 -25 was publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial News with a total of five requests received for the contract documents.

David Barrow Suzan Hall THAT the firms of Bautech Developments Ltd. of Newmarket, Ontario and Transsolar Energietechnik GmbH of Stuttgart, Germany be retained to prepare an energy master plan for The Living City Campus at the Kortright Centre at a total cost not to exceed $94,000.00 plus disbursements and applicable taxes; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to award the contract for professional services in stages subject to satisfactory completion of previous stages. CARRIED BACKGROUND Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Earth Rangers have a mutual objective to create The Living City Campus at Kortright as a means of advancing the knowledge and application of sustainable community development. One of the next steps towards that vision is to create energy infrastructure that will enable the campus to become a net exporter of renewable energy to the grid. While we already have grid connected systems capable of returning power to the grid and we have renewable electricity supplies to meet some of the campus needs purchased through Bullfrog Power, TRCA is some distance from being a net exporter of renewable electricity. 807 The above noted firms were both involved in the design and construction of the Earth Rangers Centre. Both firms also have extensive experience working in cooperation with Mr. Robert Schad in projects for Husky Injection Molding around the world. Both firms are very familiar with existing and emerging technologies for energy efficiency and renewable energy in a global context. The energy plan for the campus will require careful assessment of energy needs both now and in the future as well as an evaluation of appropriate technologies that will meet our needs while also providing the demonstration of real technologies that need to be applied in the Canadian market place now. The project will produce sustainable design guidelines for any new development which may be undertaken at the site as part of The Living City Campus. The project will also produce the energy park concept outlining the range of technologies to be applied. Both products will be useful in discussions of other development proposals throughout TRCA's jurisdiction where we are having some success in bringing attention to energy efficiency and renewable energy planning. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds are available to complete this work from the proceeds of the lease of the site to Earth Rangers as funded by the Schad Foundation.

RATIONALE The State of the Lakes Ecosystem Conferences (SOLEC) are hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Environment Canada on behalf of the two countries. These conferences are held every two years in response to reporting requirements of the binational Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA). The purpose of the agreement is to restore and maintain the physical, chemical and biological integrity of the waters of the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem . ". The conferences are intended to report on the state of the Great Lakes ecosystem and the major factors impacting it, and to provide a forum for exchange of this information amongst Great Lakes decision - makers. While these conferences are not intended to discuss the status of programs needed for protection and restoration of the Great Lakes basin, they do evaluate the effectiveness of these programs through analysis of the state of the ecosystem. Another goal of the conference is to provide information to people in all levels of government, corporate and not - for - profit sectors who make decisions that affect the Great Lakes. These conferences are a culmination of gathering information from many sources and engaging a variety of organizations. Following each conference, the governments prepare a report on the state of the Great Lakes based in large part upon the conference process. Each conference discusses the entire Great Lakes system with particular emphasis on aquatic community health, human health, aquatic habitat, toxic contaminants and nutrients in the water, and the changing Great Lakes economy. Emphasis has been placed on nearshore waters, coastal wetlands, land by the lakes, impacts of changing land use, and information availability and management. Each SOLEC conference discusses and advances a comprehensive, basin -wide set of indicators that would allow all parties to report on the progress under the agreement in a predictable, compatible and standard format. 811 FINANCIAL DETAILS Costs to attend this conference, including flight, meals, conference fees and accommodations, are estimated at $1200.00, plus applicable taxes.

Dillane, Director, Finance and Business Services RE: FRONT DOOR REPLACEMENT 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview KEY ISSUE Award of contract for the replacement of the front door at 5 Shoreham Drive. RECOMMENDATION THAT the contract for the front door replacement at 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview be awarded to Superior Lock and Safe, for a cost not to exceed $16,500.00, plus applicable taxes. RATIONALE The front door at our 5 Shoreham Drive location needs to be replaced in order to accommodate keyless entry into the building and to meet wheelchair accessibility requirements. Toronto and Region Conservation Authority staff proceeded to obtain quotations and received three quotations from the following contractors: Superior Lock & Safe, Security Centre and Universal Door & Equipment Ltd.. The three quotes received were as follows: CONTRACTOR QUOTE Superior Lock & Safe $16,500.00, plus applicable taxes Security Centre $17,845.26, plus applicable taxes Universal Door & Equipment Ltd. $14,292,50, plus applicable taxes After carefully examining the three quotations received, staff are recommending that the contract be awarded to Superior Lock & Safe even though they were not lowest bidder. Superior Lock & Safe is the contractor that was recommended to TRCA by Chubb Security. Our building at 5 Shoreham Drive is serviced by Chubb Security and they will be the ones to supply TRCA with the software for the keyless entry components and wheelchair accessibility operators. To avoid future difficulties with the new door and its operations, staff feel that it would be in TRCA's best interest to award the contract to Superior Lock & Safe. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds are available in the capital retrofit budget.

The purpose is to site grade and permanently place and remove fill (riverstones, asphalt, abutments, wingwalls, gabions) in Loafer's Lake Park (North), over Etobicoke Creek, in the City of Brampton. 823 The permit will be issued for the period of November 3, 2006 to November 2, 2008. • Letter of Undertaking to provide revisions to the engineering drawings to the satisfaction of TRCA, dated August 24, 2006; received August 29, 2006; prepared by the City of Brampton. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of removing an existing pedestrian bridge (11.87 metre span) and replacing it with a new pedestrian bridge (18 metre span) in Loafer's Lake Park (North), over Etobicoke Creek. The new abutments will be approximately 3 metres further back from the creek on both sides. Proposed works will involve the construction of new abutments and the placement of asphalt to connect the new bridge to the existing trail system. The gabion wall on the south side will be removed and the top layer of the gabion wall on the north side will be removed. Riverstone (200mm to 300mm) will be placed under the bridge, adjacent to the watercourse, for bank protection. No in- stream works are anticipated. Control of Flooding: TRCA engineering staff has reviewed the proposal and determined that the proposed works will have no impact to the control of flooding. Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (silt fencing) will be implemented for the duration of construction, and until the site is restored, in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There will be no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposal. Conservation of Land: With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a Harmful, Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). This application is subject to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) warmwater fisheries timing window however, TRCA is revising the timing window,,due to the flooding sensitivities in Etobicoke Creek, to account for the spring freshet. Any instream works must be completed between July 1 and February 28. Plantings Significant restoration works have taken place in Loafer's Lake Park in recent years. As a result, restoration efforts will be concentrated in the Newcastle Park site where riparian plantings will have a significantly greater ecological gain. 824 Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to construct two feedermains to supply water to Pressure Districts 4 and 5 in Brampton East. The permit will be issued for the period of November 3, 2006 to November 2, 2008 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking to provide minor revisions to detailed design drawings; dated October 19, 2006; received October 23, 2006; prepared by R.V. Anderson Associates. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of the construction of two feedermains south of Castlemore Road between Humberwest Parkway and Goreway Drive to supply water to Pressure Districts 4 and 5 in Brampton East. A 750mm feeder main will be extended from the intersection of Humberwest Parkway and Cottrelle Boulevard to the intersection of Goreway Drive and Castlemore Road, and a 600mm feeder main will be extended from the intersection of Humberwest Parkway and Cottrelle Boulevard to the intersection of Goreway Drive and Cottrelle Boulevard. The project area crosses a valley that contains two watercourses - one at the east end and one at the west end of the alignment. This permit covers the regulated area surrounding the western watercourse (CFN 38172). The eastern watercourse is being reviewed under a separate permit that is also before the Executive Committee for consideration at this meeting (CFN 38195). 825 Both watercourse crossings for the watermains will be completed by pipe ramming. A 15m to 30m work area will be cleared through the valley system to accommodate construction access, staging and excavation for the watermain installation. Access to the centre valley will be provided through TRCA property south of the site to avoid temporary bridges across the watercourses at the east and west ends. A letter providing permission to enter TRCA lands will be required from TRCA property staff. Please note that the proposed extension of Cottrelle Boulevard from Humberwest Parkway to Goreway Drive is proceeding under a separate environmental assessment by the City of Brampton and is not part of this permit. The preliminary plans for this extension indicate a similar path to that of the watermain. In consideration for this, the area disturbed during the watermain construction will be stabilized for the interim, with the understanding that additional disturbance along this alignment may occur in the future. The final restoration for this alignment post- construction will be coordinated with the City of Brampton and the Region of Peel as part of an integrated plan to mitigate the impacts of both projects. In order to compensate for the disturbance to the valley system associated with the watermain construction, TRCA staff is preparing a proposal that will identify key areas in the vicinity of the project site for habitat enhancement. This proposal will be based on the Targeted Terrestrial Natural Heritage System modelling and the priority areas identified in the DRAFT Claireville Management Plan, and will serve to provide a net ecological gain by enhancing core areas of the Claireville property. The proposal will be implemented by the Region of Peel in consultation with TRCA. Control of Flooding: No adverse impacts to the storage or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated as a result of this project. Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion controls will be implemented and maintained throughout construction to avoid sedimentation to the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no significant slope stability or geotechnical concerns with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: The proposed watermain alignment will require a 15m to 30m path through the valley system to facilitate construction. The disturbed area will be stabilized for the interim, pending finalization of the environmental assessment for the proposed extension of Cottrelle Boulevard. In lieu of direct restoration for the disturbed area, TRCA staff is preparing a restoration plan to enhance key habitat features in the surrounding Claireville lands to provide a net ecological gain. 826 Plantings The restoration plan under development by TRCA staff will, include appropriate native and non - invasive plantings to enhance the ecological function of the targeted areas. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The existing 2 -lane rural roadway will be widened to a 5 -lane urban section with concrete curb and gutter. A storm sewer system will be constructed including a ouffall channels. A watermain will be constructed on the north side of Major Mackenzie Drive by open cut method. At Bruce Creek tributary there will be an open cut crossing by the watermain at the same time as the installation of the box culvert. The proposed watermain will be located an adequate distance below the invert of the watercourse. The watercourse will be altered temporarily within the coldwater timing window with a dam and pump method in order to construct the open cut crossing in the dry at the same time as the box culvert installation. There is a regulated area and a regional storm floodplain associated with the Bruce Creek tributary. The project was reviewed by staff during the Environmental Assessment process in CFN 30494 for the entire section from Woodbine Avenue to Highway 48. At that time it was ascertained that the open cut watermain crossing would be conducted in the dry at the same time as the box culvert installation. The EA document was filed in November 2004 prior to the Greenbelt legislation coming into effect op December 16, 2004. Control of Flooding: The opening size of the proposed box culvert will be larger than the existing corrugated steel pipe, therefore there will be a net improvement to the conveyance of flood waters. Fill placement in the Regional Storm Floodplain will be minimized as much as possible with the watermain installation, and road widening, .therefore, staff anticipates that the control of flooding will not be adversely implicated. A Letter of Undertaking from the Regional Municipality of York will be submitted for any outstanding revisions to engineering documents. These concerns will be addressed prior to the issuance of the permit. Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (silt fencing, rock check dams, coffer dams,) will be implemented to ensure that the construction- generated sediments do not enter the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: The project is not located on the Lake Ontario shoreline, therefore, there are no implications to Dynamic Beaches. Erosion: The final Stormwater Management Brief will follow from the Regional Municipality of York as per the Letter of Undertaking and this will outline the measures to avoid erosive capacity of the storm runoff. The distance from the invert of Bruce Creek tributary to the obvert of the proposed watermain is adequate. 853 Conservation of Land: There will be in stream works associated with this project. The watercourse will be altered temporarily in order to install the watermain via open cut and to remove the existing corrugated steel pipe and install the new box culvert. With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). The watermain installation will need to adhere to the DFO's Operational Statements for pipe crossings. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with native /non- invasive species following construction.

To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure and site grade on Part Lot 8, Concession 5 Part Lot 1, 2, 3, Plan 65R- 20615, (8083 Warden Avenue), in the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Ruland Properties Inc.. The purpose is to construct and develop within a Regulated Area, partially within the Regulatory floodplain, to facilitate the construction of a stormwater management pond, stormwater outfall, and grading works associated with a residential plan of subdivision. The permit will be issued for the period of November 3, 2006 to November 2, 2008. • Letter of undertaking provided by Andrew Ip, Masongsong Associates Engineering, dated October 31, 2006, to address outstanding TRCA Engineering and Ecology issues prior to the issuance of the permit. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 856 Proposal: This permit application is the first of a number of permit applications pertaining to the Markham Centre lands that will be brought forward to the Executive Committee for consideration. Permits will be required from the TRCA for the proposed stormwater management facilities, watercourse realignment and connections, and bridge crossings. This application is to permit the construction of a stormwater management pond on Phase One of the Markham Centre lands, located east of Warden Avenue, north of Highway 407, in the Town of Markham. Pre - servicing and site preparation works have been recently completed on the Markham Centre lands, and stormwater management infrastructure must now be constructed to allow for construction to be initiated on the site. Authority staff have had extensive discussions with Town of Markham staff, the proponents and their consultants regarding the Markham Centre development, which has involved an extensive review of the Master Environmental Servicing Plan which is being finalized for this area. Through the discussions and negotiations with these groups, opportunities for more innovative stormwater management options have been identified. The proposed stormwater management for the Phase One lands pond will incorporate such measures that will improve the on -site infiltration of stormwater back into the ground, and will improve the overall temperature of the water being discharged from the stormwater management pond. Through the use of a flow spreader, water being discharged from the pond will dissipate prior to entering the Rouge River, to reduce any potential erosion that may result. Additional permits pertaining to other phases of the Markham Centre development will be brought forward to the Executive Committee for consideration in the near future. Control of Flooding: The proposed stormwater management works will partially occur within the Regional Storm Floodplain. However, no permanent modifications to the storage and conveyance of stream and storm flows are anticipated as a result of this project. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures are identified on the associated drawings to reduce the impact on surrounding features. No in -water works are proposed with this application. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: No geotechnical concerns exist with respect to this application. Conservation of Land: Some vegetation will be removed as a result of this project, however vegetation removal has been minimized to the greatest possible extent, and a comprehensive restoration plan will be included as a component of this permit. Areas in which vegetation is disturbed in the construction process that can be restored after construction is complete will be re- vegetated and restored immediately following construction. 857 Plantings Plantings are being provided in disturbed areas, and adjacent to the proposed stormwater management pond in accordance with TRCA's planting guidelines. Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section - 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. CFN: 38201 - Application #: 509 /06 /MARK Report Prepared by: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 For information contact: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 Date: October 25, 2006 TOWN OF RICHMOND HILL 8.1.26 TOWN OF RICHMOND HILL C/O JEFFERSON SQUARE INCORPORATED To conduct site grading and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere on Part Lot 1, 2, 3 , Concession 1, Part Lot 57, Plan 3766, 11688 Yonge Street, in the Town of Richmond Hill, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by the Town of , Richmond Hill. The purpose is to conduct site grading, permit the temporary/permanent placement, dumping and /or removal of material within a Regulated Area of the Rouge River and interfere with a watercourse, in order to construct a stormwater outfall and carry out remedial excavation and grading works on the valley slope at 11688 Yonge Street, in the Town of Richmond Hill. The permit will be issued for the period of November 3, 2006 to November 2, 2008. • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Mr. David Tarski, Jefferson Square Inc. (Sky Development Group), dated October 18, 2006, received October 20, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading, temporarily /permanently place, dump and /or remove material within a Regulated Area of the Rouge River and to interfere with a watercourse, in order to construct a stormwater outfall and carry out remedial excavation and grading works on the valley slope at 11688 Yonge Street, in the Town of Richmond Hill. 858 The subject lands are approximately 5.05 hectares (12.48 acres) in size and are located on the west side of Yonge Street, north of Gamble Road (on the southwest corner of Tower Hill Road and Yonge Street). Authority staff were originally circulated related planning applications for the subject property in 2004 including Site Plan Application D06 -05091 and Zoning Amendment Application D02- 04027. At that time, Authority staff conducted a site walk of the subject property and identified and delineated the top of bank on site. A minimum 5 metre buffer was established from the top of bank limit for portions of the subject property. However, a buffer in excess of 10 metres (approximately 20 -25 metres) has also been provided on other parts of the property. Lands within the buffer area and beyond the top of bank (valley corridor) are to be rezoned into an open space category and dedicated into public ownership (Town of Richmond Hill) As a condition of site plan approval, the applicant was required to successfully obtain a permit under Ontario Regulation 166/06 for the development of a stormwater outfall and the discharge of flows into the valley and watercourse. In addition to the development of the outfall, the applicant proposes to conduct remedial grading works on the subject property and on the valley slope. It is noted that the valley slope area is located on lands owned by the Town of Richmond Hill and not part of lands owned by the agent, Jefferson Square Inc. This grading is required due to previous dumping of concrete refuse material including jersey barrier material by the previous landowner. This material was also dumped over the top of bank and onto the valley slope. The applicant proposes to remove this material and regrade the slope to a more natural condition. The Authority's Geotechnical Engineer has reviewed technical submissions made in support of the proposed re- grading and is satisfied with it in principle. There remain minor issues relating to the final gradient of the slope and compaction of the new fill material. However, staff is satisfied that these issues can be resolved shortly. The proposed stormwater outfall is to be constructed within the valley corridor, on lands owned by the Town of Richmond Hill. Authorization from the Town has been obtained for the proposed works. Stormwater flows from the proposed commercial development will be conveyed and discharged from the outfall and into the valley corridor. While flows will not be directly discharged into the nearby watercourse, diffusion of stormwater through the valley corridor and eventually into a tributary of the Rouge River is expected. As such, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Control of Flooding: The proposed grading works and stormwater outfall are located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Rouge River. As such, the proposed works will not impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Erosion and sediment controls will be erected prior to the initiation of construction and maintained for the duration of the works to ensure sediment does not enter the nearby valley system and watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable 859 Erosion: Erosion on the work site will be minimized through the application of the aforementioned sediment and erosion control measures. Authority staff has reviewed technical submissions and issues on the final gradient of the valley slope, which are to be finalized shortly. Conservation of Land: There is no significant vegetation (i.e., large trees) located on the valley slope. However, vegetation (shrubs) that is removed will be restored in accordance with submitted landscape planting plans. No in -water works are proposed. However, given the discharge of stormwater flows into the valley and eventually the watercourse, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of DFO. Plantings Plantings of native, non - invasive species will be implemented along the buffer corridor and on the regraded valley slope. These plantings will be carried out in accordance with TRCA Planting and Seed Mix Guidelines. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing and Section 4.1 - New Development, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This is the second of two proposed stormwater management ponds and outfalls to service a draft approved mixed -use plan of subdivision owned by Tovtel Enterprises in the northwest quadrant of the community of Stouffville. The applicant seeks permission to undertake site grading, permanently place material and alter a watercourse within .a Regulated Area in order to construct a stormwater management pond. The proposed pond is located on the south side of the proposed Millard Street extension east of Markham Road. The Little Rouge River Valleylands are located to the east of the pond. The proposed pond design contains, and outtall structure and emergency spillway which lead to the Little Rouge River. The outfall is to contain a river stone lined plunge pool and outlet channel overlain with an erosion mat in order to adequately control the erosive forces of stormwater flowing from the outfall to the watercourse. Control of Flooding: The proposed pond outfall and channel will be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. The outfall has been designed to safely convey flood flows and will not affect the control of flooding. Pollution: A sediment and erosion control plan will be implemented and maintained for the duration of construction so that sedimentation of the tributary will be prevented. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: The stormwater management pond has been designed to detain stormwater runoff within the plan of subdivision in order to prevent increase erosion within the watercourse. Conservation of Land: There are no in -water works proposed as part of this application. In addition, there are no significant natural heritage features where the pond and outfall are proposed. Staff will issue a letter of advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) with this permit, as a DFO Authorization pursuant to the Fisheries Act (Canada)was not required. All disturbed areas are to be stabilized following construction. 861 Plantings Following construction, all disturbed areas are proposed to be restored and enhanced with native plantings in accordance with a landscape plan that has been reviewed as part of this permit.

This proposal is 'Phase One' of a two staged pedestrian pathway development for the Highlands of Castlemore subdivision (Draft Plan of Subdivision 21T- 00015B). 'Phase Two' involves the extension of the pedestrian pathway south of Eiffel Road and north of Countryside Drive. This trail alignment has been identified by the City of Brampton in their Trail Master Plan, and this project is being coordinated by City staff. The proposed pathway alignment has been designed to preserve and enhance the existing ecological conditions to the greatest extent possible. An enhancement planting scheme is currently being developed by the proponent which will increase the ecological functions of the natural heritage feature in this area. Portions of the enhancement planting plan will be included as part of this permit, while additional components of the enhancement planting plan will be integrated into the related 'Phase Two' of the two staged development. The corridor feature consists of grass open field with some scattered mature trees. No in -water works are associated with this project. Control of Flooding: TRCA Water Resources staff has confirmed that there will be no adverse impacts on the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters as a result of these works. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures have been proposed with this application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns associated with this proposal. Conservation of Land: As previously noted, an enhancement planting plan is proposed. The landscape plan includes planting a diversity of native and non - invasive species within the stream corridor feature to increase the ecological functions of this area. There are no in -water works associated with this project. As such, there are no fisheries related concerns. Plantings All proposed plantings within the stream corridor are native and non - invasive species and are consistent with TRCA's planting guidelines. 886 Policy Guidelines: This proposal is in conformity with Section 4.1.2 - New Resource -based Uses and Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade and alter a watercourse on Lot 3, Concession 7 Plan 65R- 15184, (7340 Markham Road), in the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Delridge (Prentice) Inc. The purpose is to develop, alter a waterway and grade within a Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed to facilitate the development. The permit will be issued for the period of November 3, 2006 to November 2, 2008 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Andrew Ip, P.Eng., of Masongsong Associates Engineering Limited, on behalf of Delridge (Prentice) Inc., dated November 1, 2006 and received November 1, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of this proposal is to develop, grade and alter a waterway within the Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed to facilitate the construction of a concrete culvert and associated pipeline, a four - storey 52 -unit apartment building, and a 133 -unit semi - detached condominium development, at the northwest corner of Denison Street and Highway No. 48 in the Town of Markham. The subject lands are identified as Block 554 within subdivision 19T -89126 (Cedarland Properties) which was draft approved in 1994. Block 554 was zoned for commercial development through the implementing zoning by -law for the subdivision but was not included in any of the subsequent registered phases of the subdivision, which were reviewed and approved by TRCA. When the Site Plan Applications, Official Plan Amendment Application and related Zoning By -law Amendment Application were initiated by the applicant, the subject property was not regulated by the TRCA in accordance with Ontario Regulation 158 (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways) and was not targeted within the Fill Line Extension Area. Therefore, the above - referenced applications for development were not circulated to the TRCA for review and comment, by the Town of Markham, and have been proceeding through the planning process on this basis. Further to a site visit conducted in 2005, TRCA staff determined that the waterway feature located in the northeast quadrant of the site did not constitute a watercourse. However, based on revised mapping produced through the Generic Regulation process, the property may be subject to flood hazard and is now regulated in accordance with Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses). As TRCA staff have determined that the feature does not constitute a watercourse on the subject property, TRCA concerns regarding this application now apply to flood conveyance and capacity and TRCA staff will require that the conveyance function be maintained through the related development applications. This permit application is considered a transitional file due to the advanced 890 planning stage at which the applications are in process. TRCA staff have completed a preliminary review and will ensure that all future works adhere to TRCA programs and policies as per the Letter of Undertaking Agreement. Control of Flooding: TRCA staff are ensuring that no flooding upstream or downstream will result through the approval of this project. Pollution: Silt fencing will be installed and maintained during construction, surrounding the area of works to impede the overland migration of construction generated sediments. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns associated with this proposal. Conservation of Land: There are no fisheries concerns related to this proposal. Plantings TRCA staff are ensuring that all plantings on the subject property adhere to the TRCA's Native and Non - Invasive Plant Guidelines. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. CFN: 38410 - Application #: 681 /06 /MARK Report Prepared by: Susan Robertson, extension 5370 For information contact: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 Date: November 2, 2006 RES. #B150/06 - ARCHETYPE SUSTAINABLE HOUSE PROJECT, KORTRIGHT CENTRE Award Contract RSD06 -49. Award of Contract RSD06 -49 to Building Blocks partnership for architectural services for the construction of the Archetype Sustainable House Project, at KortrightCentre. Moved by: Seconded by: Frank Dale Gerri Lynn O'Connor 891 THAT Building Blocks partnership be retained to provide architectural services for the design and construction of the Archetype Sustainable House Project, at the Kortright Centre for a total estimated cost not to exceed $125,000 plus applicable taxes; THAT an additional amount be approved to cover disbursements and expenses incurred to an upset limit of $12,000 plus applicable taxes; THAT a contingency fee not to exceed $14,000 plus applicable taxes, be awarded to be used as a cash allowance, to be expended only as authorized by the project architect, Building Blocks partnership and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), as required. CARRIED BACKGROUND TRCA's Archetype Sustainable House Project began with a national competition conducted in partnership with the Design Exchange. The intent of the competition was to engage architects, engineers and graduate students from across Canada to design a mass production green home for new community development. The winning design chosen on June 21, 2006, submitted by Building Blocks partnership was selected from 17 entries by a blue ribbon panel of judges. A comprehensive report was provided with each design submission, with final design drawings and specifications to be generated by the wining team prior to construction. The winning design will be built at The Living City Campus at the Kortright Centre, at the entrance to the Power Trip Trail. The Power Trip Trail is an interactive renewal energy learning exhibition. The Archetype Sustainable House Project will serve as a primary energy conservation education facility for workshop participants and as a model to help monitor and verify the effectiveness of building materials, systems and technologies. TRCA plans to build two semi - detached houses at this location. The primary goal of the first home will be to represent affordable green options that can be adopted by homebuilders and buyers in today's marketplace. The second home will showcase alternative materials and technologies that will demonstrate the best in sustainable design, resource efficiency and energy management systems. These houses will serve as models for industry and municipal leaders to see the next generation green homes as the move towards ever more sustainable housing. The houses will be a powerful statement of what can be achieved in environmentally conscious new home design. The structures will demonstrate Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) five principles of Net Aero Energy Health Housing (NZEHH), and stand as a case study for the emerging Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Homes program in Canada. RATIONALE As the winner of the Archetype House Design competition, staff requested that Building Blocks partnership submit a comprehensive design and construction fee proposal to undertake the implementation of the project. In general, the scope of work will include: detailed design, preparation of drawings and specifications, permits, tendering, construction inspection /coordination and post construction monitoring. 892 FINANCIAL DETAILS Based on a review of the proposal submitted, staff feel the fees provide good value for effort and recommend that Building Blocks partnership be retained at a total estimated cost not to exceed $125,000, plus GST. Staff are recommending an additional cost not to exceed $12,000 plus GST for expenses and disbursements associated with this project, as authorized by staff, and a $14,000 plus GST contingency fee, as authorized by Building Blocks partnership and TRCA. Funding for this project is available through donations, contributions and fund raising activities coordinated by TRCA staff for the implementation of the Sustainable House Project available in account #314 -91. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Detailed design work will be completed in the spring of 2007, with construction commencing immediately thereafter.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. Negotiations have been conducted with Ms. Suzanne Herceg of Osier, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, Barristers & Solicitors, on behalf of AMB Airport Road Canco, Inc.. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. This represents the beginning of a larger developing industrial community in this area of the Town of Caledon. As the subject industrial development progresses, it is anticipated that the remaining valley corridor of the Salt Creek will come into public ownership. Until the surrounding valley lands are consolidated and access to this parcel is secured, AMB Airport Road Canco, Inc. shall provide a temporary easement across their retained land to enable TRCA to access the parcel being acquired. RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Humber River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #11/04, held on January 7, 2005, amended Resolution #A334/04 was approved as follows; THAT 0.179 hectares (0.44 acres) more or less of an irregular shaped parcel improved with two cottage style residences be purchased from Anne Zid, said land being Part of Lots 31, 32 and 33, Plan 270, in the City of Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham, municipality known as 520 Marksbury Road and 509 Park Crescent; THAT the purchase price be $590,000.00 plus reasonable costs related to the transaction; THAT the total acquisition cost include the costs for the demolition of the two cottages; THAT the purchase be subject to the City of Pickering contributing a net of $200,000.00 towards the total acquisition costs; THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) receive conveyance of the land required free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements; THAT staff be directed to pursue the sale of a portion of the subject property, as a single family development lot, subject to obtaining the necessary approvals, in order to fund all or a portion of the outstanding balance of the purchase price; THAT a further report be brought forward to the Executive Committee regarding the details of the disposal; THAT Gardiner Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date.

TRCA completed the acquisition of the property in February 2005 and in accordance with the direction of the Authority resolution we are in the process of creating a lot for sale on the open market to help cover the costs. The balance of the subject property will be retained for regional waterfront open space and trail requirements. 905 TRCA property in this area including the lot TRCA is proposing to create, is encumbered by a sanitary sewer and water main owned by the Region of York as shown in the attached sketch. No easements exist for these services within the proposed lot or the adjacent TRCA property. TRCA entered into discussions with regional staff regarding the possibility of relocating the servicing and the relocation was approved at Durham Region Works Committee on October 26, 2005. It was generally agreed that the servicing could be relocated as follows: • the sanitary sewer would be re- routed north through Part 8, recently acquired by TRCA from the City of Pickering, to the existing trunk sewer; • the water main would be extended almost directly east, south of the proposed lot to Marksbury Road; • easements for the sanitary sewer and water main services would be registered in favour of the region for the existing and relocated services as shown on the Attachments 1 and 2. The relocation will result in the services being located entirely on public lands (with the exception of a small portion at the Park Crescent end) and should provide easier access for . maintenance in the future. The subject lands form part of a larger acreage acquired by TRCA from P. Clausen (January 06, 1978), E. Christensen (February 28, 1978), The Durham Board of Education (Pickering Beach Public School) (December 5, 1979), R.M. Rigby (March 18, 1980), Anne Zid (January 28, 2005), City of Pickering (May 2, 2006) for the Pickering Waterfront Project. FINANCIAL DETAILS The Region of Durham in support of the project is paying for the service relocation estimated as $90,000 save and except $20,000 being contributed by TRCA. TRCA's $20,000 share will be funded from the sale of the lot.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The present owner of 29. Rossmull Crescent (Mr. Nick Creatura) wishes to re -open negotiations and complete the sale of this small fragment of TRCA -owned tableland which was originally being pursued by the previous owners (Giovanni and Ermelinda De Miglio). At Authority Meeting #3/94, held on April 22, 1994, Resolution #A63/94 was adopted as follows: THAT the Authority convey five small fragments of tableland containing a total of 730.75 metres squared, more or less, being Parts of Block 115, Registered Plan M -2022 and Parts of Block 115, Registered Plan M -2023, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, to Giovanni and Ermelinda De Miglio, Rocco Tavernese, Maria Ciccia, Diane D'Amico and Cecile Saccoia Pavone on the following basis: (a) the sale price is to be the total sum of $19,647.50; (b) a covenant is to be included on title to the effect that no buildings or structures other than fencing, pool or garden accessories are to be located on the subject lands; (c) the purchasers are to make application for the land severances and arrange for payment of all costs or charges in connection therewith; THAT the sale be subject to an Order -in- Council being issued in accordance with Section 21(c) of the Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter. C.27; AND FURTHER THAT appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of any necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. The parcel of TRCA -owned land subject to this request for sale is part of a larger acreage originally acquired from 419540 Ontario Ltd. (Seaton Development Ltd.) under the Humber River Flood Plain Land Acquisition Project in April 1982 and April 1983. In 1989, TRCA declared surplus an area of tableland behind various lots along Rossmull Crescent. The majority of the sales were completed; however, the previous owners of 29 Rossmull Crescent (De Miglio) did not wish to proceed due to the costs involved in completing the sale. The previous approved Order -in- Council (i.e. Minister's Approval) received for the disposal of the various tableland parcels included the land behind 29 Rossmull Crescent and applies to all successors in title. Therefore, a further Minister's Approval is not required in this instance. 910 TRCA's Technical Staff Staff has confirmed that the valley slope adjacent to the tableland behind 29 Rossmull Crescent is extensively vegetated with trees and shrubs and is presently in a stable condition. In addition, the parcel subject to the sate is not located within the Regional Storm flood plain; however, is situated in the Fill Regulated Area. Provided that the owner is made aware that any development within the regulated area pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 requires a TRCA permit and that a covenant is registered on -title limiting the use of the newly acquired land (i.e. fence, pool or garden accessories), staff has no objections to this proposed sale. City of Vaughan Department of Parks Staff These TRCA lands are managed by the City of Vaughan Parks Operations staff under our existing management agreement with the City of Vaughan. Parks staff has confirmed, in writing, that they have no objections to this proposed sale. A plan illustrating the location of the subject lands is attached. FINANCIAL DETAILS The rate of $6.00 per square foot reflects the previously established price for sales of TRCA land as related to resolutions of minor structural encroachments under our management agreement in the City of Toronto. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed sale in this instance is consistent with other sales for similar parcels of TRCA land. The present owner has agreed to pay the sum of $10,176.00 plus all legal, survey, and other costs associated with the proposed sale. It is proposed that the proceeds from this sale be used to acquire high priority lands under TRCA's Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. • Report prepared by: George Leja, extension 5342 For Information contact: George Leja, extension 5342 or Ron Dewell, extension 5245 Date: November 21, 2006 Attachments: 1 911 IriUM t - 9,1 oft. if.70014. , ;V/ 411L,.‘,V.N1` NamAto...70, .14T""Itio.

Receipt of a request from the Estate of Lorne Douglas Robinson for TRCA to remove a restrictive covenant on -title from a 0.98 hectare (2.42 acre) parcel of land, in the City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel, Humber River watershed. Frank Dale Gerri Lynn O'Connor THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS TRCA is in receipt of a request from the Estate of Lorne Douglas Robinson to remove a restrictive covenant in favour of TRCA affecting land owned by the Estate of Lorne Douglas Robinson in the City of Brampton; AND WHEREAS it is in the best interests of TRCA in furthering its objectives, as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act to cooperate with the Estate of Lorne Douglas Robinson in this instance; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA enter into an agreement with the Estate of Lorne Douglas Robinson for the release of the restrictive covenant affecting a parcel of tableland containing 0.98 hectares (2.42 acres), more or less, said land being Part of Lot 5, Concession 8 ND, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York; THAT consideration for the removal of the restrictive covenant be the lump sum of $101,640.00 plus appraisal, legal, survey and other costs incurred by TRCA; THAT completion of the transaction be subject to the approval of the Minister of Natural Resources in accordance with Section 21(2) of the Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter C.27, as amended; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect hereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject property was originally owned by TRCA and formed part of a larger acreage expropriated in 1963 and 1967 for the Ebenezer Dam and Reservoir Acquisition Project. In November of 1974, this land was transferred to the original owners, Aubrey Albert Robinson and Lorne Douglas Robinson. At the time of this reconveyance, a covenant was included in the deed, restricting the use of the lands for commercial purposes. 913 Following the death of Aubrey Albert Robinson, title of this parcel was transferred to Lorne Douglas Robinson on November 2, 1988. This land was originally situated on the south side of Highway No. 7. As a result of realignment of the highway, the parcel is now separated from adjacent TRCA -owned property. In November of 1991, TRCA approved the removal of a restrictive covenant on -title to a parcel located at the northeast corner of McVean Drive and Regional Road No. 7. The Estate of Lorne Douglas Robinson has received an offer to purchase the subject parcel of land from a local development company. Removal of the restrictive covenant on -title would allow the owner to have flexibility in the type of development proposed for the property. The parcel is located entirely on tableland and is situated outside the Regional Storm flood Plain and Fill Regulated Area of the West Humber River. FINANCIAL DETAILS An appraisal was completed, based on current market value, for consideration of removing the restrictive covenant. The Estate of Lorne Douglas Robinson has agreed to pay the appraised value of $101,640.00 plus all legal, survey and other costs associated with the proposed sale. It is proposed that the proceeds from this transaction be used to acquire high priority lands under TRCA's Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010.

The leased area is comprised of 1.914 acres, with the rental rate being adjusted three months preceding the expiration of the current lease period. The rental rate was to be received and adjusted in accordance with the City of Toronto's Yacht Club Formula and this was to be carried out for each of the remaining four years of the lease.

The purpose is to develop within the Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed to facilitate the development of a stormwater management facility. The permit will be issued for the period of December 1, 2006 to November 30, 2008 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Drawing No. G -1, General Servicing Plan, prepared by RG Robinson and Associates (Barrie) Limited, dated March 2003, last revised April 2004, received September 6, 2005, Red -line Revised to reduce rip -rap proposed; • Drawing No. G -2, Storm Drainage Area Plan, prepared by RG Robinson and Associates (Barrie) Limited, dated March 2003, last revised March 2004, received September 6, 2005; • Drawing No. D -1, General Details; prepared by RG Robinson and Associates (Barrie) Limited, dated January 2004, received September 6, 2005; . • Drawing No. D -2, General Details, prepared by RG Robinson and Associates (Barrie) Limited, dated January 2004, received September 6, 2005; • Drawing No. L -1, Landscape Plan, prepared by Terraplan Landscape Architects Inc., dated September 15, 2003, last revised March 27, 2004, and received September 6, 2005; • Drawing No. L -2, Stormwater Pond Detail Drawings, prepared by Terraplan Landscape Architects Inc., dated September 15, 2003, last revised March 27, 2004, and received September 6, 2005; 939 To meet municipal standards and to be consistent with efforts to redevelop the historic Downtown Unionville area, the reconstruction of the existing parking lot is required. In this regard, modifications to the existing parking lot involve the lowering of the grades and some minor reconfiguration of the lot layout. It has been determined that these works will alter the location of the Regulatory Floodplain on the subject property. However, TRCA staff have • reviewed this proposal with consideration for its location within the historic, floodprone community of Unionville, and the need to balance the Authority's flood hazards management objectives with the Town's community planning initiatives for this area. Accordingly, TRCA staff have considered this proposal in the context of the Authority's SPA floodproofing requirements, and have confirmed that the proposed works are consistent with these policies. As noted, the proposed reconstruction of the parking area will impact the potential flooding on the subject property, and cause portions of the proposed hotel building to be located within the Regulatory Floodplain. In this regard, TRCA staff have worked with the proponent to ensure that the design of the new hotel building will minimize flood risk to the greatest extent possible. As such, TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed works conform with SPA technical requirements (i.e. flood proofing and emergency access) and that the works will not adversely affect the existing characteristics of the floodplain (i.e. conveyance and flows of floodwaters). Additionally, provisions have been included to ensure that residential uses and /or habitable space(s) will not be permitted on any floors subject to flooding (1st floor). Although the subject property is located within an SPA which allows for some flexibility in terms of the flood protection required, the proponent has agreed to provide a letter of indemnification prior to the issuance of this permit as the proposed new structure will be partially located within the floodplain. Control of Flooding: TRCA technical staff have reviewed this application and are satisfied that the proposed works will not adversely affect the conveyance and /or flows of floodwaters. Pollution: Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained for the duration of construction to prevent sediment from entering the valley system. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: TRCA are satisfied that there will be no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: As the watercourse will not be impacted by the proposed works, there are no fisheries concerns with this application. Additionally, there are no significant natural heritage features on the property that may be impacted by the project. 938 • Drawing No. L -3, Stormwater Pond Detail Drawings, prepared by Terraplan Landscape Architects Inc., dated September 15, 2003, last revised March 27, 2004, and received September 6, 2005; • Drawing No. P -4, Storm Sewer Easements, prepared by RG Robinson and Associates (Barrie) Limited, dated March 2003, last revised March 2004, received September 6, 2005.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of this proposal is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. This proposal involves the installation of a corrugated pipe and the placement of fill material. The proposed works aim to maintain the viability of the farm practice, improve the productivity of existing pasture lands and implement best management practices (BMPs) for 15570 Mount Hope Road, located in the Town of Caledon. 953 Currently, livestock graze within and have access to a drainage corridor that traverses the subject property. The existing condition results in nutrient loading to the drainage corridor resulting in adverse health impacts to livestock grazing in this area. This scenario also has the potential to adversely impact water quality downstream and result in harmful impacts to water users in downstream locations. A low -lying wetland feature is located immediately downstream of this drainage corridor and receives flows from the area of concern. The proposed pipe is an extension of past construction activities on the subject property. Specifically, the drainage corridor has been enclosed both upstream and downstream on the subject property. This proposal seeks to connect the past upstream and downstream works. TRCA staff has conducted a site inspection and have confirmed that the drainage corridor is not categorized as a 'watercourse feature'. In this regard, the current ecological function of the drainage corridor is limited. The primary function of this drainage corridor is the conveyance of storm and flood waters. Given the extent of the work proposed and the enclosed condition of the adjacent portions of the feature, TRCA Water Resources staff have verified that the proposed works are unlikely to exacerbate any on -site flooding or have any additional impact on the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters beyond that which the current enclosures provide. As such, impacts to flooding upstream and /or downstream as a result of this project are not anticipated. Please note, existing infrastructure downstream of this area is to be replaced with a larger pipe to provide greater flow capacity. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located within the Regional Floodplain. TRCA Water Resources staff have confirmed that this proposal is unlikely to have any significant impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures have been proposed with this application and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

The purpose is to undertake site grading and to permanently place fill material within a Regulated Area of the Mount Joy Creek. The permit will be issued for the period of December 1, 2006 to November 30, 2008. • Drawing No. ES1, Erosion & Sediment Control Plan, prepared by R.J.

Burnside & Associates Limited, Revision No. 4, Revised on October 6, 2006, received by TRCA on November 7, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 956 Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to site grade and to permanently place fill material within a Regulated Area in order to modify the floodplain on the subject property. The lands are Located at the northeast intersection of Anderson Avenue and Highway 48 at the northern fringe of the urban area of the Town of Markham. This proposal to site grade and place fill in order to contain the Regional Storm Flood Plain forms part of a comprehensive flood remediation strategy for the Anderson Avenue area of Markham. The subject property will be developed for the purposes of a large format retail store. The nature of the current flooding conditions are as follows. The Mount Joy Creek, formerly known as Exhibition Creek, crosses underneath Highway 48 north of Anderson Avenue and enters the developed area on the east side of Highway 48 in a highly altered and channelized fashion. Previous development approvals have permitted the enclosure and piping of portions of the creek as it passes through the developed area. In addition, the piped portions of the creek were not designed to convey the level of water flows that would occur during a Regional Storm. This has resulted in a flood plain that is not contained within any open space or valley lands. Instead, the flood plain covers large portions of developed lands and surrounds several buildings causing a flood hazard on numerous private lands as well as portions of Anderson Avenue. Given the existing Regional Storm Flood Plain conditions, and in accordance with provincial land use and natural hazard policies, TRCA staff have been unwilling to support further development on the lands subject to the flooding until a comprehensive plan to reduce and contain the flood risk in the area is prepared. On behalf of three separate landowners representing four parcels of land adjacent to Anderson Avenue, the firm of R.J. Burnside was retained in order to prepare a flood remediation proposal that would reduce and contain the flood risk within the area in order to permit the development of lands that are subject to the existing flooding conditions. The most recent version of the proposal removes the first floor elevations of all existing buildings from the flood plain and contains the flood plain to a much greater degree, reducing the flood hazard from existing conditions. The proposal requires Regional Storm Flood Plain flows to continue along Anderson Avenue, as is presently the case under existing conditions. The Regional Storm Flood Plain velocities and depths along Anderson avenue will be reduced under the proposal to the extent possible. However, at one cross section located at the future intersection of Castlemore Avenue and Anderson Avenue, it has not been possible to meet TRCA's flood depth and velocity criteria which specifies a specific maximum for various flood depths and velocities. Given the various constraints present, it is TRCA staffs opinion that the reduction in flood risk that would occur as a result of the implementation'of the -flood remediation proposal versus maintaining existing conditions is sufficient to proceed despite the flood depth and velocity criteria not being met at one cross section (the criteria has been satisfied at all other cross sections). Control of Flooding: This proposal will implement one portion of the flood remediation proposal discussed above by regrading to constrain the flood plain on the eastern portion of the subject property. TRCA water management staff have reviewed both the proposed grading plans and the flood remediation'report and are prepared to support them at this time. 957 Pollution: As the watercourse is enclosed within a pipe at this location, there is no risk that sedimentation of the watercourse will take place. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no geotechnical issues related to this proposal. Conservation of Land: There are no significant natural heritage features on the subject lands. Plantings - An planting plan is to be prepared as part of this proposal, prior to the issuance of the permit, that is consistent with the urbanized nature of the project. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 3.2.2 C) 1) iv), Stream Corridors, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

To alter a waterway, construct in a flood plain and place fill within a regulated area on Part Lot 8, 9, Concession 5, (Warden Avenue (East Side); North of 407), in the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Ruland Properties Inc.. The purpose is to alter a watercourse, construct within the Regulatory Floodplain, and place fill within a Fill Regulated area, to facilitate the construction of a new channel outlet and stream corridor, adjacent to the Rouge River in the Town of Markham. The permit will be issued for the period of December 1, 2006 to November 30, 2008. • Letter of undertaking provided by Andrew Ip, Masongsong Engineering Ltd., dated November 29, 2006, to address outstanding TRCA Ecology and Engineering issues prior to the issuance of the permit. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 958 Proposal: This permit is the second of a series which will be associated with the Markham Centre development, located between Warden Avenue and Kennedy Road, between Highway 407 and Highway 7, in the Town of Markham. A central component of the Markham Centre development is the creation of a new naturalized stream corridor (of approximately 60 metres in width) with associated surrounding public amenity space, which will Zink the community with the Rouge River corridor to the north. The proposed stream corridor will divert flows from an existing highly altered watercourse ( "Tributary 4 ", a tributary of the Rouge River) currently located to the west of the proposed corridor, and restore a more natural channel profile. The new channel, with its natural channel design, off -line wetlands, and significant riparian plantings will provide a substantial improvement to the existing degraded channel, and a significant net environmental gain for the area. Over the last couple of years, the proposed corridor and future stream channel has been constructed off -line, and stabilized in preparation for receiving flows from the diverted watercourse. All works to date have been completed outside of TRCA's Regulated areas, and have not required permits from the Authority. Bringing the new corridor on -line will require permits from the TRCA for both the downstream connection (to the Rouge River), and the diversion of Tributary 4, upstream, and will require Authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). This permit application is to permit the connection of the newly created corridor to the Rouge River to the north, which will allow the corridor to drain, and the vegetated stabilization measures to be maintained. A future permit application will be brought forward to the Executive Committee for the upstream connection to Tributary 4, upon completion and stabilization of the remaining areas of the corridor. The in -water portion of the subject works will be subject to MNR Fisheries Timing Window restrictions, and the issuance of the requisite DFO Authorization. Control of Flooding: A portion of the proposed works will be located within the Regulatory Floodplain associated with the Rouge River, however, the proposed works are being completed in accordance with the Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) for the area, and no permanent adverse impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated. Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures have been proposed with this application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns associated-with this proposal. Conservation of Land: The proposed channel will provide significant additional habitat, and provide for a more natural channel profile for Tributary 4. The proposed channel is considered to be a significant net ecological gain over the existing condition. 959 Plantings A comprehensive planting and enhancement plan has been established, and will be implemented through this permit and the future permit for the proposed upstream connection. This project will provide for approximately 3 hectares of new planted area. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 3.3 - Policies and Procedures for Identifying Watercourses and Alterations, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of the proposed project is to reconstruct Bethesda Sideroad from Bayview Avenue to Leslie Street in the Town of Richmond Hill. Bethesda Sideroad within the study limits is currently a 2 -lane rural arterial road with roadside ditches and cross culverts. The purpose of this project is to upgrade the road to current minimum municipal road design standards. The proposed design criterion includes reconstruction to 2 -lane rural roadway and will involve minor roadway platform widening to construct granular shoulders. Control of Flooding: TRCA Water Management staff have reviewed the proposal and are satisfied that there will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Standard sediment and erosion control measures (silt /sediment fence, pea stone bags) will be implemented and maintained for the duration of construction and until the site is stabilized and restored in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering any water. 962 Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: TRCA Geotechnical staff has reviewed the proposal and is satisfied with the proposed design. Conservation of Land: As there are no watercourses associated with the project, there will be no concerns related to fish habitat loss.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to develop and permanently place fill within a Regulated Area in order to expand a previously approved stormwater management pond. This stormwater management pond is located in the southwest quadrant of the community of Stouffville and was initially constructed to service a residential plan of subdivision known as Wheler's Mill. Permission to construct the original pond was given by the Executive Committee at its meeting on December 3, 2004 and recorded as Resolution #B244/04. The original pond, as approved, was constructed in 2005: Since the construction of the pond, an alternative stormwater servicing scheme was proposed whereby additional lands east of Ninth Line could be added to the catchment area of the pond via an expansion to the pond. This expanded pond will remove the need for a second pond within a proposed residential plan of subdivision known as Kartok. Staff have reviewed this alternative stormwater management proposal and find it to be appropriate. In addition, the existing pond can be expanded without removing any natural heritage features. Control of Flooding: The expanded stormwater management pond has been designed to detain stormwater in accordance with the provisions of the southwest Stouffville Functional Servicing Study and TRCA requirements. The stormwater management pond is not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Pollution: A sediment and erosion control plan, reviewed and accepted by staff, will be implemented and maintained on site for the duration of construction in order to prevent sediment from entering the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not.applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical issues related to this proposal Conservation of Land: No natural heritage features will be removed as part of this proposal. All disturbed areas are to be stabilized and restored. 964 Plantings A planting plan which conforms to the TRCA Guidelines for stormwater management pond planting plans has been prepared and will form part of this permit. Policy Guidelines: This proposal conforms to Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Maria Augimeri Frank Dale THAT Contract RSD06 -09 be awarded to Civil Underground & Excavating Company Limited for the supply, delivery and installation of the proposed pedestrian bridge, at Wicksteed Avenue erosion control project, located in E.T. Seton Park, City of Toronto, for a total cost not to exceed $139,500 plus applicable taxes, it being the lowest bid which meets Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Wicksteed Avenue erosion control project, is located on a section of the West Don River south of.Eglinton Avenue and west of Leslie Street, City of Toronto. This section of the river flows adjacent to the west valley wall, which abuts the Tremco property at 220 Wicksteed Avenue. Erosion and over - steepening of this section of the valley slope has resulted from a combination of erosion at the toe of the slope, due in part to channel migration and ground water seepage on the upper portions of the slope. A Class Environmental Assessment (EA) was initiated in 2003, with Aquafor Beech Ltd. retained as the primary consultant. Upon completion of the Class EA in 2006 a preferred alternative was selected, which included in general: the realignment of a portion of the existing channel away from the west slope; installation of a new pedestrian bridge; and, backfilling of the section of eroded slope to a stable angle of repose following the channel realignment. Work will also include construction of bank protection along the newly realigned channel and habitat enhancements for local fish population. Final approvals have been received from the following agencies: Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of Natural Resources, Navigable Waters Protection and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Construction of the proposed work is scheduled for January 2007. The work associated with the channel realignment and bank stabilization will provide long term erosion protection for the Tremco plant, located at the top of the west slope. As a result Tremco Ltd. has indicated that they are prepared to make a corporate donation in the amount of $85,000 towards the construction of the pedestrian bridge to offset some of the costs associated with the project implementation. RATIONALE Bid documents were sent to a total of five contractors with a total of two bids being received. Bids were opened at Tender Opening Committee Meeting #19/06, held on Friday November 17, 2006 with the following results: Bidders Subtotal Contingency TOTAL (plus GST) Amount Somerville Construction $173,650 $5,000- $178,650 Civil Underground & Excavating $134,500 $5,000 $139,500 Company Limited 972 Staff has reviewed the bids is are confident that the lowest bid represents good market value for the proposed work, therefore staff recommend Contract RSD06 -09 be awarded to Civil Underground & Excavating Company Limited for a total cost not to exceed $139,500 plus GST.

Purchase of property located east of Meadowvale Road and north of Sheppard Avenue East, City of Toronto - Scarborough Community Council Area, under the "Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 - 2010 ", Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Rouge River watershed. Gerri Lynn O'Connor Maria Augimeri 974 THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 0.16 hectares (0.38 acres), more or less, of vacant land being Part of Lot 4, Concession 3 and designated as Part 3 on a Draft Plan of Survey prepared by KRCMAR Limited, Ontario Land Surveyors, under their Job No. 88 -176, dated October 30, 2006, City of Toronto - Scarborough Community Council Area, be purchased from Lesspeak Investments Limited; THAT the purchase price be $2.00; THAT Lesspeak Investments Limited pay Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) $39,000.00 towards the future purchase of 2.12 hectares (5.24 acres), more or Tess, of vacant valley being Part of Lot 4, Concession 3 and designated as Part 1 on Plan 66R- 11213, City of Toronto - Scarborough Community Council Area from Divaba Construction Limited; THAT TRCA receive conveyance of the land free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements; THAT the firm of Gardiner Roberts LLP, Barristers & Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs, and disbursements are to be paid; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required. CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved. the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. Through the review of Site Plan Control Application S94039 to allow for primarily multi -unit residential development on the tableland portion of the subject property, TRCA staff established the limits of the Open Space lands (i.e. Part 3 on draft Plan of Survey) which are comprised of a tableland buffer adjacent to the valley corridor of the Rouge River at this location. The valley land portion of the property is not being transferred to TRCA at this time. In 1988, Lesspeak Investments Limited (Lesspeak) negotiated a purchase and sale agreement with Divaba Construction - Limited (Divaba) for the subject property. Lesspeak was only interested in acquiring the table land portion of the site in order to develop this area of the property for multi -unit residential purposes, while Divaba was interested in retaining title to the valley lands. As part of the offer to purchase agreement, a Mutual Undertaking was signed between Divaba and_Lesspeak, confirming that Divaba would convey the entire property to Lesspeak conditional upon Lesspeak reconveying the valley lands to Divaba for nominal consideration at the appropriate time. 975 Lesspeak proceeded with Official Plan and Zoning By -law Amendment applications as well as a Site Plan Control application to allow for multi -unit residential development, with a small amount of office - hotel - commercial at the northeast corner of Meadowvale Road and Sheppard Avenue East. The. former City of Scarborough and the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) approved the Lesspeak applications_for the table land residential / commercial development. Although TRCA staff usually requests that all valley corridor land be set aside for public ownership when commenting on development applications pursuant to the Planning Act, Lesspeak remained bound by the Mutual Undertaking to reconvey the valley lands to Divaba; hence, staff was only able to achieve the proposed acquisition of the 10 metre table land buffer of the valley corridor as approved by the OMB. The acquisition of the tableland buffer by TRCA will create a natural severance, separating the Lesspeak table land parcel from the remnant valley land. Consequently, Lesspeak will then be able to complete its obligations under the Mutual Agreement and reconvey the valley parcel to Divaba. Lesspeak recognizes that acquisition of the 10 metre table land buffer does not achieve TRCA's goal of bringing the entire valley corridor parcel into public ownership. Therefore, Lesspeak has agreed to make a financial contribution of $39,000.00 to TRCA toward a purchase price for the remnant 2.12 hectare ( + / -) area of valley land. The value of the valley land is supported by an appraisal on hand; TRCA staff will continue to negotiate the purchase of the valley with Divaba in this regard. Negotiations have been conducted with Mr. George Seidel of Lesspeak Investments Limited. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Rouge River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE It is proposed that the lands be turned over to the City of Toronto for management.

Purchase of a partial taking, located east of Brock Road, south of Albright Road, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, under the "Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 - 2010 ", Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Duffins Creek watershed. Gerri Lynn O'Connor Maria Augimeri THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 1.22 hectares (3.02 acres), more or less, consisting of a rectangular shaped parcel of vacant ecologically sensitive land be purchased from Barbara Gene Fletcher, said lands being Part of Lot 6, Concession 5, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, further described as being Part 1 on Plan 40R- 24587, situated east of Brock Road, south of Albright Road; THAT the purchase price be $24,176.79 or $8,000 per acre; THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) fence the limit between the lands being acquired by TRCA and the lands being retained by Barbara Fletcher; THAT TRCA receive conveyance of the land required free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements; THAT Gardiner Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be paid; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required. CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05, at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005 approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. In this instance, it is TRCA's intent to purchase 1.22 hectares (3.02 acres) of the approximate 20.24 hectare (50.00 acre) Fletcher property. This area consists of the rear easterly portion of the property which is heavily treed with mixed forest. The remaining 19.01 hectares (46.98 acres) will be retained by Ms. Fletcher for rural residential and equestrian use. This parcel of land is improved with an existing single family dwelling together with an equestrian stable /riding arena. Negotiations have been conducted with the property owner, Ms. Barbara Fletcher, and as a result TRCA has obtained an option on the property which is conditional on the necessary approvals. 978 Attached is a sketch showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's app roved master plan for acquisition for the Duffins Creek watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. It is located in the headwaters of the Duffins Creek with a portion of the subject lands in a Hated provincially significant Area of Natural and under the Oak (ANSI). The Moraipe Conservation as Natural Core Area and Natural Linkag e Area Plan and is adjacent to TRCA holdings in Major aaeahwill help consolidate the protection of the compliment TRCA's holdings in the Glen Major features as provided by the abutting TRCA holdings and will provide a potential trail link between our Glen Major holdings. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Based on the realty taxes paid on adjacent TRCA lands, it is esti a004that the anio nual taxes for the property would be approximately $200.00. On December government announced a regulation that the a prel urinary nevi w of the that terra, it eligible to receive a property tax exemption would appear that a portion of the subject lands would be eligible for exemption for the 2007 taxation year. Since TRCA maintains lands in this vicinity in the at th s�ocation g ven parcel of land would not significantly impact T RCA's that these types of lands require a low degree of maintenance. FINANCIAL DETAILS appraisal, survey, environmental and legal fees All expenditures for this acquisition including app are to be charged to the TRCA land acquisition capital account.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Meeting #8/06, held on October 13, 2006, the Executive Committee approved Resolution #B138/06 as follows: THAT the potential disposal of a fragment of land adjacent to 507 Marksbury Road, City of Pickering, be referred to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff for review and discussion in accordance with established TRCA policies; - AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action. The subject TRCA properties are parts of larger properties acquired from Mertha Jaworsky, C. Bell / K. Gray and Mary Heath, on May 14, 1981, October 15, 1981 and June 24, 1994 respectfully. In early fall of 2006, TRCA staff approached Jasmine Rauh -Munch and Dorne Munch who had recently acquired 507 Marksbury from the estate of Mrs. Rauh about exploring a land exchange to reconfigure their residential lot to consolidate TRCA's ownership along this section of the Lake Ontario waterfront. The owners agreed to discussions and retained an architect to prepare a lot configuration and building envelope which would: i) be outside the 100 year erosion limit as accepted by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) in their decision on TRCA's lot severance on the westside of Marksbury; ii) meet the minimum lot requirements of the City of Pickering Zoning Bylaw; iii) facilitate Pickering's waterfront vision and waterfront trail; iv) provide a building envelope that would meet the Region of Durham's water /sanitary sewer easement requirements; and v) provide a building envelope that would maintain the existing views from the adjacent residence owned by Alan May. 985 Staff is recommending the land exchange as set out in the attached sketch as it addresses the above key conditions. City of Pickering and Region of Durham officials have confirmed their support for the proposed land exchange. The proposal is supported by an appraised value based on an independent valuation. RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010 and its acquisition is essential for public access and future construction of the waterfront trail. The acquisition would be strategic and move towards realizing the City of Pickering's vision for its waterfront as set out in the Mayor's Task Force report and endorsed by City Council. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Since this is an exchange of land the impact on the tax and maintenance budgets for this small fragment of land will be minimal. It is proposed that a portion of TRCA lands in this area will be turned over to the City of Pickering under the Waterfront Management Agreement. FINANCIAL DETAILS It is proposed that the City of Pickering contribute 50% of the total acquisition costs, not to exceed $220,000. This is consistent with the City of Pickering Council resolution to fund up to 50% of waterfront acquisitions by TRCA. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Obtain approval of the City of Pickering Council for 50% of total acquisition costs, not to exceed $220,000. Make application to the Region of Durham's Land Division Committee for the severance. Make application to the Minister of Natural Resources for approval.

Attachments: 1 986 �PFInI�FI- RES.#B168/06 - Moved by: Seconded by: LISA ZID AND CITY OF TORONTO ONTARIO MUNICIPAL BOARD HEARING Authorization for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to retain a solicitor so that TRCA can participate as a party before the Ontario Municipal Board on a referral related to a minor variance application under the Planning Act, to permit an existing residential building addition to remain as constructed. Maria Augimeri David Barrow THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT authorization be given to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff to retain a solicitor so that TRCA can participate as a party before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on a referral related to a minor variance application, that is not in conformity with Natural Hazard Policies of the Provincial Policy Statement; THAT staff continue to work cooperatively with the City of Toronto and the appellants to ensure that the requirements of the Provincial Policy Statement are met; AND FURTHER THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject property (173 Chesterton Shores) is a single family residential lot located on the shore of Lake Ontario bordered to the east and west by TRCA -owned lands and the Canadian National Railway tracks to the north. In a 1992 site,plan application, a 23.3 square metre (250 sq. ft) addition to the west side of the dwelling was refused on grounds that TRCA was not satisfied that the long term stability and safety of the development could be assured against the 100 year storm events and other water related hazards. In approximately 2002/2003 the applicant constructed a 111.5 square metre (1,200 sq.ft) addition with basement on the west and south faces of the existing dwelling without building permits or planning approvals. The applicant has neither applied for or received a permit from TRCA. The building addition maintains a setback of approximately 2.4 (8') metres from the top of bank adjacent to Lake Ontario. Furthermore, the dwelling as enlarged is situated almost to the west lot line with the eavestrough and external stairs encroaching onto adjacent TRCA -owned land. It should be noted that the dwelling as enlarged falls entirely within the Shoreline Regulation Limit as illustrated on map 96 associated with Ontario Regulation 166/06, Regulation for Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses. 988 A stop work order has been issued by the City of Toronto Building Division due to the absence of building permits, planning approvals and the inability of the building inspector to properly inspect finished enclosed work. On April 16, 2003 an Order -to- Comply for "work no permit" was issued. A Stop Work Order was issued on April 23, 2003. Both are still outstanding following prosecution June 3, 2005. - TRCA staff provided comments to the Committee of Adjustment on December 20, 2005 expressing concern about the placement of fill on the property without TRCA permits. TRCA staff also expressed concern in the same letter above about the long term stability and safety of the development against the 100 year storm events and other water related hazards. TRCA staff has included in their comments noted above a reference to the Provincial Policy Statement issued under Section 3 of the Planning Act that states: 3.1.1 Development shall generally be directed to areas outside of: a) hazardous lands adjacent of the shorelines of the Great Lakes - St.Lawrence River System and large inland lakes which are impacted by flooding, erosion, and dynamic beach hazards. TRCA staff is not convinced that this addition is outside of the hazardous lands and has recommended that the variance be refused. RATIONALE The hearing date has been set by the OMB for January 22, 2007. City of Toronto legal staff have advised that they will be attending the hearing to oppose the application. TRCA staff is also preparing to attend the hearing to defend the Provincial Natural Hazard Policies as they relate to the subject property. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff is requesting the authorization of the Authority to retain a solicitor so that TRCA can participate as a party before the Ontario Municipal Board. Staff will continue to work with the parties and participants to the hearing to resolve the issues and will represent TRCA interests before the OMB.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to develop within a Regional Storm Floodplain of the Humber River to facilitate the construction of a new warehouse and garden centre additions at the existing Canadian Tire Retail Store and Service Centre within the Albion Mall . The subject property is located west of Kipling Avenue on the north side of Albion Road within the City of Toronto. The proposed additions have a combined floor area of 18,513 square metres and represents an overall increase of 21.2 %, which meets the requirements of the policies related to minor additions. Based upon existing floodplain estimation information, the site is located within the Regional Storm Floodplain. However, it should be noted that updated engineered mapping will be available in early 2007. TRCA engineering staff anticipate that the update will result in a significant reduction in the predicted depth and velocity of flooding in this area. Through the municipal Site Plan Approval process, the owner has agreed to acknowledge in the Site Plan Agreement, to be registered on title, that the property is located within the floodplain so that all future landowners are aware of the flood risk and the potential for property damage. Control of Flooding: It was not technically feasible for all openings of the new additions to be flood proofed to the Regional Storm Elevation, as the existing development is located below the Regional Storm elevation. TRCA engineering staff are satisfied that the new additions are able to withstand the flows and velocities in the event of a flood based on a letter from a structural engineer that was submitted. Pollution: Sediment controls are not necessary as the proposed works are removed from significant natural features.

Kolb, dated December 18, 2006, stamped received by TRCA Planning and Development staff December 18, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This proposal involves the construction of a 245 square metre (2,640 sq. ft.) addition to an existing agricultural storage facility within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. The subject property is located on the west side of Mount Hope Road, south of Old Church Road, in the Town of Caledon. Note that a previous application on these lands was previously approved by TRCA's Executive Committee to enclose a drainage corridor. The ecological function of the drainage corridor was limited and the primary function of the feature was the conveyance of storm flows. The proposed works include an expansion of an existing storage barn to ensure adequate protection of equipment and the continued viability of the farm practice. The proposed structure consists of a wood frame and metal exterior with sliding doors. Recognizing the flood constraints on -site, significant measures have been incorporated into the design of this proposal to address flooding conditions. For example, the metal exterior is to be elevated above grade to allow for flood waters to by -pass the proposed structure and maintain the conveyance of pre - development flood waters. In addition, no foundation is proposed with this project. As such, the proposed works may be considered to be 'ancillary' in nature. As well, the proposed works have been designed to withstand water flow velocities expected during the Regional Storm Event. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located within the Regional Floodplain. TRCA Water Resources staff have confirmed that this proposal will not have any significant impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures have been proposed with this application and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

The purpose is to reconstruct an existing storm outfall structure and restabilize a bridge abutment located within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Etobicoke Creek Watershed. The permit will be issued for the period of January 19, 2007 to January 18, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by J. Blair, City of Mississauga, dated January 17, 2006, to address outstanding engineering and ecology related issues. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of this proposal is to reconstruct an existing storm outfall structure and restabilize the north end of a bridge abutment located on the west side of Etobicoke Creek, on north side of Britannia Road, east of Dixie Road, in the City of Mississauga. The storm outfall structure collects and conveys stormwater from Britannia Road. A significant amount of erosion has recently occurred to the outer bank of Etobicoke Creek, which generally coincides with the location of the storm outfall structure and bridge abutment. As a result, the final section of the outfall has become exposed and severely undermined and erosion has encroached beneath the north end of the concrete bridge abutment. The exposed section of the pipe will be removed and all disturbed bedding material will be removed. Temporary erosion and sediment controls have been installed and will be maintained until reconstruction /stabilization works are complete. The proposed configuration of the new storm sewer will provide additional energy dissipation prior to discharge to the creek. In addition, the location of the outlet headwall will be further setback from the edge of the watercourse. Based on a site inspection conducted by TRCA staff, no structural damage appears to have occurred to the bridge abutment. As such, new bedding material will be installed beneath the bridge abutment footing to fill the gap created by the erosion activities. Immediately following construction, an erosion control blanket and native live stakes and seed will be applied. The site will be accessed from the west side of Etobicoke Creek and no in -water works are required to facilitate this project. 1033 Control of Flooding: The proposed works will occur within the Regional Floodplain associated with Etobicoke Creek. Given the short-term nature of the works, TRCA Engineering staff have confirmed that the proposed works will not have a significant impact to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls have been installed and will be maintained during all phases of construction. As noted before, no in -water works are required to facilitate the works. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns associated with this project. Immediately following construction, a geotextile erosion control blanket will be applied. Conservation of Land: TRCA staff have reviewed the potential for fisheries impacts from the proposed works and have confirmed that there are no fisheries related concerns. No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. Plantings A variety of native and non - invasive plant species will be planted in accordance with TRCA's restoration and seed mix guidelines. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is in conformity with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing and 5.2 - Erosion Control and Slope Stability Remedial Works - of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

The high calibre and cost - effectiveness of EarthFX's efforts has been recognized by the individual study partners in that five of the members, including TRCA, have retained EarthFX for additional projects beyond the scope of their work for the overall partnership. EarthFX has demonstrated through projects with CLOCA and LSRCA that they can successfully link the output of surface water models to their groundwater model. In addition, EarthFX will now be able to provide a seamless model product across the TRCA /CLOCA and TRCA /LSRCA boundaries, a key requirement for source water protection planning. The cost of retaining another firm to complete this work would be much higher and the process would take significantly longer, since there would be a substantial learning curve for another consultant to understand the geologic model construction and numerical model parameter estimation process. As well, all output will be processed through EarthFX's software product, Viewlog®, for which TRCA already has multiple licenses. Pursuant to the TRCA Purchasing Policy, Executive Committee approval is required for sole source contracts over $50,000 and less than $200,000.

David Barrow Maria Augimeri THAT approval be granted to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff to attend meetings and workshops in the United States in 2007, organized by agencies and organizations responsible for the management of the Great Lakes; AND FURTHER THAT the travel be approved by the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) as meeting dates and locations are confirmed, subject to budget provisions. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) policy on travel requires Executive Committee approval for staff travel outside of the country on TRCA business. RATIONALE In recognition of TRCA's contributions and emerging role in Great Lakes programs, such as the Canada -US Water Quality Agreement; the Canada - Ontario Agreement; the International Joint Commission; Lake Wide Management Plans; source protection and Great Lakes Water Level Studies, there is a requirement for staff to travel to meetings /workshops in the United States. 1037 These meetings are frequently held in Rochester, Windsor or Buffalo, but on occasion staff will be required to travel to other cities around the Great Lakes. TRCA staff is normally invited to these meetings by senior governments and or Great Lakes based organizations. FINANCIAL DETAILS Normally travel costs are covered by the agency or organization that has invited TRCA staff to attend these meetings or workshops. When travel costs are not provided, the CAO will, in granting staff permission to travel, take into consideration the ability of TRCA approved program budgets to cover travel costs. Estimated costs for a hotel room range from $100 -130 (USD) per night. Mileage, depending on the location of the meeting, can range from 192 km return (Toronto to Buffalo) to 302 km return (Toronto to Rochester). Total meal costs per day are estimated to be around $45 -50, which would include gratuities and all applicable sales tax. Report prepared by: Gary Bowen, extension 5385 For Information contact: Adele Freeman, extension 5238 Date: January 10, 2007 RES. #B179/06 - Moved by: Seconded by: MAYORS' MEGAWATT CHALLENGE Consulting Services for Arenas Project. Consultant selection for energy audits at participating Mayors' Megawatt Challenge arenas. David Barrow Gerri Lynn O'Connor THAT contracts for conducting energy audits at participating Mayors' Megawatt Challenge (MMC) arenas be awarded to Toronto Hydro Energy Services to audit 15 arenas at a total cost not to exceed $59,042.00 plus applicable taxes, and Finn Projects to audit 11 arenas at a total cost not to exceed $59,500.00 plus applicable taxes. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Mayors' Megawatt Challenge brings municipalities together to improve energy efficiency and environmental management in their buildings. Through the Mayors' Megawatt Challenge, municipalities demonstrate leadership, inspiring other organizations and individuals to take action towards healthier, more sustainable communities. In 2006, the MMC began a cooperative special project with a number of its members to address energy and water audits and operational training at municipal arenas. This Arenas project includes the following workplan items: 1038 • benchmark energy and water use in arenas; • compile facility profiles; • establish a comprehensive on -line check -list of retrofit and operational best practices for arenas; • conduct 2 workshops with arena - managers and maintenance staff to discuss benchmarking results, share knowledge and experience, and complete the action check -list for each arena; • develop and administer a single RFP to audit all arenas in the project; • compile audit results into a comprehensive picture of energy use, potential conservation actions, capital costs and energy savings; • validate results through an engineering peer review process; and • help participating municipalities prepare an Energy Conservation Action Plan for each arena enrolled in the project, consistent with Bill 21. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was sent to 11 area energy audit firms on December 21, 2006. The deadline for submission was January 10, 2007. Four consulting firms submitted proposals. The successful firms are to carry out energy and water audits at each of the participating arenas. Currently, 9 municipalities and 26 arenas are registered in the Arenas project. RATIONALE The proposals and quotations received were priced as follows (prices include GST): Toronto Hydro Energy Services $100,013 Finn Projects $155,608 Byrne Engineering Inc. $218,996 Mann Engineering Ltd. $272,918 These quotes were based on auditing all 26 arenas. However, it was clearly indicated in the Request for Proposal that Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) retained to the right to split the work among two or possibly even three consulting firms. The two firms selected, Toronto Hydro and Finn Projects, are the lowest bidders. Based on the proposals submitted, TRCA staff is not convinced any one consultant can reliably perform the entirety of this work in the timeframe required. Therefore, staff believe the tight timeline for completion of these audits necessitates the awarding of this contract to two firms. The 26 arenas are located in 9 municipalities stretching from St. Catharines to Kitchener to Smith Ennismore Lakefield (a small jurisdiction near Peterborough). By definition, any meaningful arena audit must be conducted during the ice making season, and as such, we have set a mid -April 2007 deadline for completion. It is felt that the vast geography covered and the large number of arenas involved could be potentially problematic for one firm, particularly under such time constraints. Finn Projects, the second lowest bidder, has made two auditing teams available for conducting the work. Therefore, the participation of Finn, in combination with the one auditing team offered by Toronto Hydro, provides us with optimal flexibility and maximizes assurances that the work will be completed on time. Splitting the contract also allows us to target each firm to specific municipalities, limiting and simplifying contacts with municipal staff and staff of the local energy distribution companies (LDCs) which must also be involved in the effort. 1039 Both firms have demonstrated the experience and abilities required to conduct this work. They both have excellent references, a sound understanding of the project and its deliverables, and staff teams capable for providing professional work. FINANCIAL DETAILS The total budget for the Arenas project is $366,000. It is 100% funded by revenue supplied by program participants, various local distribution companies and gas utilities, and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Funds are available from account 314 -96.

SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION , Member CARRIED RES.#B181/06 - CANADA GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL Memorandum of Understanding. Revision of the Memorandum of Understanding between Toronto and Region Conservation: Authority and the Canada Green Building Council to cover the proposed staff secondment initiative. Moved by: Seconded by: Suzan Hall Frank Dale 1041 THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) work with the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) Greater Toronto Chapter to revise the existing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to include the part-time secondment of Andrew Bowerbank, Manager, Sustainable Development, TRCA; THAT under the MOU, Andrew Bowerbank become the Executive Director of the Greater Toronto Chapter of the CaGBC fora period of (but not limited to) one year; AND FURTHER THAT CaGBC reimburse TRCA $55,000 to cover approximately 50% of Andrew Bowerbank's time and that of his office assistant as well as expected basic office overhead expenses. CARRIED BACKGROUND At the Authority Meeting #6/04, held on June 25, 2004, Resolution #A186/04 was approved as follows: THAT staff proceed to further the use of green building design /technology within the Toronto region in support of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) vision for The Living City through the development of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Toronto Chapter of the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC); AND FURTHER THAT appropriate TRCA officials be authorized to execute the MOU. RATIONALE The Canada Green Building Council National office and representatives from each of the chapters met in Calgary in August 2006 to review strategic development for the next 5 years. Taking the lead from the United States (US) Green building Council, a fundamental shift in administration was presented where by the National Office would step back from public engagement and allow the regional chapters to represent the interests of the CaGBC and the Leadership in Environmental Excellence and Design (LEED) rating system. As demonstrated by the US chapters and the Cascadia chapter, the hiring of executive directors to guide membership growth and corporate development has been a highly effective strategy. The Greater Toronto Chapter is the largest in Canada. High profile initiatives, including the development of LEED for Homes and LEED for Neighbourhood Development by early 2008, demonstrate the need for an executive director to coordinate corporate development and help to ensure chapter success. This represents a significant opportunity for TRCA to gain additional profile and networking connections toward the objective of sustainable communities. FINANCIAL DETAILS Mr. Bowerbank will continue to operate out of the TRCA Downsview office for both TRCA and CaGBC activities. Under the MOU, the CaGBC will reimburse TRCA to cover approximately 50% of Andrew Bowerbank's time and that of his office assistant as well as expected basic . office overhead expenses. The $55,000 in reimbursements will be made through 3 equal payments as follows: 1042 • February 15 2007: $18,300 • June 15 2007: $18,300 • November 15 2007: $18,400 Report prepared by: Andrew Bowerbank, extension 5343 For Information contact: Andrew Bowerbank, extension 5343 Date: January 12, 2007 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR EXECUTIVE ACTION RES. #B182/06 - APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 166/06 Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses.

The purpose is to construct an artificial wetland within a regulated area and Regional Storm Floodplain (including alteration of a watercourse, site grading, placing /removing fill /material, works within wetland interference limit) in the Community of Nobleton, to be used for the final polishing of effluent from the proposed newly constructed Sewage Treatment Plant prior to discharge into the Humber River. The permit will be issued for the period of February 2, 2007 to February 1, 2009 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking to provide revisions to the engineering drawings to the satisfaction of TRCA, revisions to the Construction Specifications to the satisfaction of TRCA, and address comments to the satisfaction of TRCA; prepared by York Region; dated November 24, 2006; received November 27, 2006. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: Environmental Assessment The Community of Nobleton, located in the Township of King at Highway 27 and King Sideroad, has a population of 3,200. The Community of Nobleton is currently serviced by private on -site sewage systems (i.e. septic tanks and tile fields). Previous studies have concluded that saturated tile fields and improperly functioning septic systems could result in contamination of surface waters and potential environmental and health concerns. The Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Nobleton Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) reviewed options for the treatment and disposal of sewage for a projected population of 6,500 persons in the year 2016. 1060 The Class EA process concluded that the preferred solution for sewage servicing for Nobleton was the collection of sewage, treatment at a new sewage treatment plant, and discharge to the Main Branch of the Humber River downstream of Bolton, where sufficient assimilation was established. The EA was approved, with conditions (see Phosphorous Offset Strategy below), by the Ministry of Environment (MOE) in 2003. Wetland Construction Through detailed design of the Community of Nobleton sewage works, an artificial wetland will be created at the STP outlet from a portion of an existing oxbow adjacent to the Humber River. The purpose of the artificial wetland is for the final polishing of effluent from the proposed newly constructed Sewage Treatment Plant prior to discharge into the Humber River. This constructed wetland will provide a functional benefit in phosphorous control at the STP outlet. Although the habitat benefits from the constructed wetland will be minimal, it will serve to reduce the concentration of bio- available phosphorous levels during the summer growth season. This will provide water quality benefits to the Humber River during the period when an excess of bio- available phosphorous would have the greatest impact. Additional water quality benefits of the wetland will include a reduction in ammonia and nitrogenous oxygen demand during the summer months. The proposed wetland will be implemented within a low -lying area that is adjacent to an existing natural wetland. Physical disturbance to the existing natural wetland to the east will be prevented. Construction involves regrading in the Regional Storm Floodplain, and the construction of a compacted clay berm and a subsurface compacted clay cut -off barrier, which together will limit the movement of surface water and groundwater between the constructed wetland and the existing natural wetland. The construction of these structures must be carried out "in the dry" and as such construction groundwater dewatering will be required. A Permit to Take Water (PTTW) will be submitted to the MOE and mini - piezometres will be installed in the existing natural wetland to monitor the implications of groundwater dewatering during construction on the existing natural wetland, and any deviation from existing conditions with respect to surface water features and vegetation. Mitigation measures will be implemented in accordance with the required Environmental Management Plan. The outfall from the engineered wetland to the Humber River will consist of a rip -rap lined discharge channel (weir outlet). Portions of the existing river bank will also be regraded. The construction of the discharge channel and the regrading shall be carried out "in the dry" and will therefore require installation of a temporary cofferdam in the Humber River and dewatering of the surface water within the cofferdam. All in -water works will be completed within the cold -water timing window of July 1 to September 15 of any given year. The design of the pumping station, forcemain sewer pipe, local sanitary sewer, sewage treatment plant, effluent pipe from the sewage treatment plant and design of the outfall structure from the pipe carrying effluent from the sewage treatment plant to the constructed wetland is covered under a separate permit application (CFN 38494). 1061 Phosphorous Off -set Strategy Concerns were raised from TRCA and MNR during the review of the Class EA regarding increased phosphorous loading to the Main Branch of the river as a result of the discharge of treated sewage. At full build -out, the sewage treatment plant will discharge approximately 37 L /sec of treated effluent to the Humber River with an estimated annual load of 160 kg of phosphorous. The Humber River is classified as a "Policy 2" water body by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) because phosphorous concentrations in the river exceed the Provincial Water Quality Objective of 0.03 mg /L for phosphorous in rivers. In consideration of this, the MOE approved the Class EA for the Nobleton STP provided that the increased phosphorous loading to the Humber River is offset by reductions from other sources in the watershed. The MOE has requested a target offset of 320 kg /yr, a value twice that of the projected load to: • Achieve a net reduction in phosphorous loading to the Humber River and • Account for the fact that the STP discharge is made up of bio- available phosphorous and offsets achieved from other sources in the watershed may not be as available for algal growth. A comprehensive phosphorous offset strategy is in the preliminary stages of execution and is being carried out in cooperation with TRCA staff to meet the target offset of 320 kg /yr which is expected to be feasibly achieved and provide numerous environmental benefits . The strategy will be focused on lands within the Humber watershed area upstream of Nashville Road, as this is in general the receiving area upstream of the STP outfall. This strategy will form a part of the MOE's Certificate of Approval for the Nobleton STP. Control of Flooding: Water Management staff has reviewed the proposed works and are satisfied that the storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be impacted with the proposed works. There will be fill within the regional storm floodplain however the negligible impacts of the proposed fill on flood plain storage will be more than offset by the increase in flood plain storage created through the excavation for the proposed wetland. Pollution: Standard sediment and erosion control measures (silt /sediment fence, coffer dams) will be implemented and maintained for the duration of construction and until the site is stabilized and restored in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: Geotechnical staff has reviewed the proposed works and are satisfied that there will be no slope stability concerns with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). 1062 TRCA Property On May 26, 2006 conditional approval was provided by TRCA's Full Authority for the transfer of a permanent easement from TRCA to York Region for the purposes to construct this project, pending the fulfillment of outstanding requirements by the proponent and Minister (of Natural Resources) Approval (MA). TRCA Conservation Lands and Property Services staff are prepared to issue a Permission to Enter (PTE) for the subject TRCA lands prior to receiving MA and finalizing the easement, once all outstanding requirements have been satisfied. The Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit will not be issued until a PTE has been granted by TRCA staff. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored to better than existing conditions with native /non- invasive species, including seed mix and the planting of native trees to provide a net environmental gain. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. CFN: 38493 - Application #: 742/06/KING Report Prepared by: Chris Barber, extension 5715 For information contact: Beth Williston, extension 5217 Date: January 24, 2007 8.1.13 REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF YORK To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere, interfere with a wetland and alter a watercourse (King Road from west of Elizabeth Drive to 11th Concession Humber River), in the Township of King, Humber River Watershed as located on property owned by Regional Municipality of York. The purpose is to construct, site grade, place /remove fill /material, alter a watercourse, develop within wetland interference limit, within a regulated area for works including a pumping station, forcemain, local sanitary sewer, manholes, road restoration, sewage treatment plant, effluent pipe, and effluent pipe outfall up to proposed artificial wetland for implementation of a sewage system in the Community of Nobleton. The permit will be issued for the period of February 2, 2007 to February 1, 2009 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking to provide revisions to the engineering drawings to the satisfaction of TRCA and address comments to the satisfaction of TRCA; prepared by York Region; dated November 24, 2006; received November 27, 2006. 1063 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: Environmental Assessment The Community of Nobleton, located in the Township of King at Highway 27 and King Sideroad, has a population of 3,200. The Community of Nobleton is currenfly serviced by private on -site sewage systems (i.e. septic tanks and tile fields). Previous studies have concluded that saturated tile fields and improperly functioning septic systems could result in contamination of surface waters and potential environmental and health concerns. The Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Nobleton Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). reviewed options for the treatment and disposal of sewage for a projected population of 6,500 persons in the year 2016. The Class EA process concluded that the preferred solution for sewage servicing for Nobleton was the collection of sewage, treatment at a new sewage treatment plant, and discharge to the Main Branch of the Humber River downstream of Bolton, where sufficient assimilation was established. The EA was approved, with conditions (see Phosphorous Offset Strategy below), by the Ministry of Environment (MOE) in 2003. Pumping Station The pumping station is proposed to be constructed within a regulated area, south of King Road adjacent to King Creek just north of Janet Avenue. A temporary sediment and erosion pond will be implemented to the east of the pumping station for construction purposes partially within a floodplain. In the event of failure of the sewage pumping station, to prevent flooding of the residential and commercial basements and associated health and property damage within the community, a contingency plan for emergency overflow of the pumping station has been prepared which includes the construction of 450 millimetre overflow pipe which would discharge raw sewage through an outfall (pinch pipe and concrete headwall) to the adjacent watercourse. As the overflow elevation is below the Regional flood elevation, a check valve is provided on the overflow to ensure that during floods, surface water will not enter the pumping station from the overflow. The Ministry of Environment will require that this overflow be monitored with the sewage quantity overflowed recorded if one ever occurs. An overflow event will require the operators to contact MOE Spills Action Centre. The overflow is for emergency as a last resort and is not intended to be used under any circumstance other than an emergency (i.e. failure of the pumping station). There are a number of back -up systems that have been built into the pumping station design which provide for redundancy and will significantly reduce the probability that an overflow will occur. These measures will help protect the watercourse from sewage overflows. 1064 Forcemain A 300 millimetre sanitary forcemain will be constructed for approximately 5.3 kilometres, partially within regulated areas from the Sewage Treatment Plant along the proposed STP access road north to King Road via directional drilling (starting at approximately Sta. 2 +017) beneath 3 watercourses (existing culverts) with 2 metres of cover between the obvert of the forcemain and the invert of the culvert. East of approximately Station 3 +730 the forcemain will be installed via open trench methods eastward to the York Region easement and then south along the easement between King Road and north of Janet Avenue, connecting to the proposed pumping station. During construction there will also be one watercourse crossing (existing culvert) via open trench methods along this stretch. Local Sanitary Sewer A local sanitary sewer and associated manholes is proposed to be constructed parallel to the proposed forcemain, partially in regulated areas by open trench methods starting east of 10th Concession on King Road at approximately Station 3 +730, and southward of King Road within the York Region easement between King Road and Janet Avenue. This sewer will connect to the Pumping Station. Sewage Treatment Plant The STP will be constructed south of King Road partially within a regulated (within wetland interference limit) between 10th Concession and 11th Concession. Stormwater is proposed to be managed using an existing pond on site. The proponent has completed a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for the STP. There are 27 points that have been considered, with additional points as optional. This leaves the building eligible for LEED certification given that the appropriate documents are prepared. TRCA staff will work with the proponent to determine if seeking formal LEED certification is feasible for the STP. Effluent Pipe and Outfall into proposed artificial wetland The 450 millimetre effluent sewer pipe and associated manholes will be constructed for approximately 4.2 kilometres, entirely by open trench methods almost completely within a regulated area, west from the STP and then south along 11th Concession to the artificial wetland where an outfall and gabion basket headwall will be constructed. A southern portion of the effluent sewer pipe and outfall will be constructed within a Regional Storm Floodplain Road Restoration Gravel Roads and Asphalt Roads will be restored following construction, as required. Dewatering Any required groundwater dewatering will be monitored throughout construction and mitigation measures implemented in accordance with the required Environmental Management Plan. 1065 Phosphorous Off -set Strategy Concerns were raised from TRCA and MNR during the review of the Class EA regarding increased phosphorous loading to the Main Branch of the river as a result of the discharge of treated sewage. At full build -out, the sewage treatment plant will discharge approximately 37 L /sec of treated effluent to the Humber River with an estimated annual load of 160 kg of phosphorous. The Humber River is classified as a "Policy 2" water body by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) because phosphorous concentrations in the river exceed the Provincial Water Quality Objective of 0.03 mg /L for phosphorous in rivers. In consideration of this, the MOE approved the Class EA for the Nobleton STP provided that the increased phosphorous loading to the Humber River is offset by reductions from other sources in the watershed. The MOE has requested a target offset of 320 kg /yr, a value twice that of the projected load to: • Achieve a net reduction in phosphorous loading to the Humber River and • Account for the fact that the STP discharge is made up of bio- available phosphorous and offsets achieved from other sources in the watershed may not be as available for algal growth. A comprehensive phosphorous offset strategy is in the preliminary stages of execution and is being carried out in cooperation with TRCA staff to meet the target offset of 320 kg /yr which is expected to be feasibly achieved and provide numerous environmental benefits . The strategy will be focused on lands within the Humber watershed area upstream of Nashville Road, as this is in general the receiving area upstream of the STP outfall. This strategy will form a part of the MOE's Certificate of Approval for the Nobleton STP. The design of the artificial wetland is covered under a separate permit application (CFN 38493). Control of Flooding: Water Management staff has reviewed the proposed works and are satisfied that the storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be significantly impacted with the proposed works. Pollution: Standard sediment and erosion control measures (silt /sediment fence, rock check dams, etc.) will be implemented and maintained for the duration of construction and until the site is stabilized and restored in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering any watercourse. Under emergency overflow conditions, the Region will immediately institute its Spill Reporting Procedures to reduce and mitigate the overall impact to the environment. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: Geotechnical staff has reviewed the proposed works and are satisfied that there will be no slope stability concerns with the proposed works. 1066 Conservation of Land: With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). TRCA Property On May 26, 2006 conditional approval was provided by TRCA's Full Authority for the transfer of a permanent easement from TRCA to York Region for the purposes to construct this project, pending the fulfillment of outstanding requirements by the proponent and Minister (of Natural Resources) Approval (MA). TRCA Conservation Lands and Property Services staff are prepared to issue a Permission to Enter (PTE) for the subject TRCA lands prior to receiving MA and finalizing the easement, once all outstanding requirements have been satisfied. The Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit will not be issued until a PTE has been granted by TRCA staff. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored to better than existing conditions with native /non- invasive species following construction.

RATIONALE The application was . reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 1069 Proposal: The proposed works involve restoration works at three erosion sites located within the existing golf course. The first erosion site ( #5) near Jane Street is located along the stream banks in the vicinity of the on -line irrigation dam and 5th Hole, 1st nine bridge. Site # 5 has experienced erosion during the storm event of August 19th, 2005 as well as erosion from subsequent freeze thaw cycles. The proposal involves the removal of an existing fish barrier (irrigation reservoir structure) and restoration of the creek to a more natural condition. Some regrading work within the creek channel will be required to create a natural channel form with new pools and riffles situated at several locations. The removal of the irrigation dam is required to complete the change of water management strategy as initiated by the Golf Club under previous permit #C- 06020. The second erosion site ( #6) located behind the 1st hole on the 3rd nine is where during the storm of August 19, 2005, a 75 metre long section of gabion baskets on the east side of the creek failed and rolled into the creek. The proposal involves isolating the failed gabion baskets from the flow of the creek so that the baskets can be removed by machinery under dry conditions. The third erosion site ( #7) includes a portion of valley slope uphill from Black Creek which failed during the spring of 2006 taking with it a cart path. The proposed works include both slope stabilization through regrading and planting as well as reconstruction of the cart path and associated drain work. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, however the works will not affect the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Silt fencing and coffer dams will be secured around all construction areas to prevent the migration of construction generated sediment into the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion There are no geotechnical issues with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: All filled and disturbed areas will be stabilized and re- vegetated following construction. No significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works.

The purpose is to conduct site grading, permit the temporary /permanent placement, dumping or removal of material, construct a structure and alter a watercourse within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Humber River, in order to construct an access road /culvert crossing to service a proposed industrial building on the east side of Highway 27, north of Highway 407, in the City of Vaughan. The permit will be issued for the period of February 2, 2007 to February 1, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking - to address all outstanding ecology issues prior to release of the permit, prepared by Mr. Gerry Lynch, Cole Engineering, dated January 31, 2007, received January 31, 2007. 1076 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading, temporarily /permanently place, dump and /or remove material, construct a structure and alter a watercourse within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Humber River in order to develop an access road /culvert crossing to service the Dongara Solid Waste Pellet Processing Plant. The proposal will result in an impact to the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Humber River. As such,.the proposed works will necessitate a cut /fill balance within the Regional Storm Flood Plain in order to mitigate this impact. The associated cut /fill balance forms part of the proposal as outlined in the related O.Reg. 166/06 permit application 029 /07/VAUG. The waste processing facility is proposed to be constructed on lands approximately 2.65 ha (6.55 ac) in size, and located on the east side of Highway 27, north of Highway 407. The lands are currently vacant and are owned by the Ontario Realty Corporation. A tributary of the Humber River traverses from the northwest across Highway 27 and passes in a southeasterly direction along the northern limit of the subject site. The proposed crossing is located off -site on lands owned by Hydro One Networks Inc. Previously, Authority staff were circulated on a proposal by the ORC to remove the lands from the Parkway Belt West Plan (PBWP) in order to allow for the sale of the lands to the City of Vaughan. Dongara Developments Inc. is to lease the lands from the City for the development of a waste processing facility. This groundbreaking environmental initiative will convert waste into a pellet product which can be incinerated for energy. To ensure that the subject site contained a viable building envelope, TRCA staff requested the submission of a flood study for the tributary of the Humber River. This study has been submitted and reviewed by Authority staff. We are satisfied that the proposed structure is located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Further, lands containing the watercourse and within the Regional Storm Flood Plain will remain in public ownership under the management of the ORC. The initial circulation from the ORC relating to the PBWP was subsequently followed by the circulation of an Official Plan Amendment application along with a Site Plan application for the proposed waste processing facility. The proposed works will serve to fulfill a site plan condition to obtain requisite regulatory approvals for the development of the proposed facility along with related infrastructure. The proposed access road /culvert crossing is located immediately east of Highway 27, directly across from Toronto RV Road (north of Highway 407). The proposed works are located on lands owned by Hydro One Networks Inc. However, the works will be constructed by the proponent, Dongara Development Inc., to service the proposed waste processing facility. As such, an easement has been obtained by the proponent from Hydro One along with authorization for the proposed works. Although Hydro One is considered exempt from O.Reg. 166/06, the works are to be constructed by a third party to service adjacent lands, and as such, a formal regulatory approval is required for the development of the proposed crossing. 1077 Control of Flooding: Authority technical staff has reviewed a comprehensive flood study for the subject site and is satisfied that the proposed waste processing facility will not impact the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Furthermore, while the proposed road /culvert crossing will result in changes to the extent of the Regional Storm Flood Plain, a- cut /fill balance proposal has been submitted and is deemed satisfactory. The implementation of the cut /fill balance as part of O.Reg. 166/06 permit application 029 /07/VAUG will mitigate the anticipated impacts to the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Pollution: Erosion and sediment controls will be erected around the work site prior to construction and maintained for the duration of the works, to ensure that sediment does not enter the watercourse. In addition, silt fencing will be installed around the development site for the processing facility, located to the northwest. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: Erosion on the work site will be minimized through the application of the aforementioned sediment and erosion control measures. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. As in -water works are proposed for the development of the crossing, authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be required. The works will be permitted during the warmwater timing window of July 1 to March 15. It is noted this permit will not be released until such time as authorization from DFO has been obtained. Plantings Plantings of native, non - invasive species will be implemented at the outfall location. These plantings will be carried out in accordance with TRCA Planting and Seed Mix guidelines. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The permit will be issued for the period of February 2, 2007 to February 1, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking - to address all outstanding ecology issues prior to release of the permit, prepared by Mr. Gerry Lynch, Cole Engineering, dated January 31, 2007, received January 31, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading, temporarily /permanently place, dump and /or remove material and alter a watercourse within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Humber River in order to construct a storm outfall which will service the Dongara Solid Waste Pellet Processing Plant. The proposal also entails a cut /fill balance within the Regional Storm Flood Plain in order to mitigate impacts to the flood line associated with a proposed road access /culvert crossing northwest of the subject site. The related culvert crossing works are part of the associated O.Reg. 166/06 permit application 028 /07/VAUG. The subject lands are approximately 2.65 ha (6.55 ac) in size, and are located on the east side of Highway 27, north of Highway 407. The lands are currently vacant and are owned by the Ontario Realty Corporation. A tributary of the Humber River traverses from the northwest across Highway 27 and passes in a southeasterly direction along the northern limit of the subject site. Previously, Authority staff were circulated on a proposal by the ORC to remove the lands from the Parkway Belt West Plan (PBWP) in order to allow for the sale of the lands to the City of Vaughan. Dongara Developments Inc. is to lease the lands from the City for the development of a waste processing facility. This groundbreaking environmental initiative will convert waste into a pellet product which can be incinerated for energy. To ensure that the subject site contained a viable building envelope, TRCA staff requested the submission of a flood study for the tributary of the Humber River. This study has been submitted and reviewed by Authority staff. We are satisfied that the proposed structure is located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Further, lands containing the watercourse and within the Regional Storm Flood Plain will remain in public ownership under the management of the ORC. The initial circulation from the ORC relating to the PBWP was subsequently followed by the circulation of an Official Plan Amendment application along with a Site Plan application for the proposed waste processing facility. The proposed works will serve to fulfill a site plan condition to obtain requisite regulatory approvals for the development of the proposed facility along with related infrastructure. 1079 The proposed storm outfall will convey stormwater flows off -site, onto ORC lands. Authorization from the ORC has been obtained for the proposed works. Stormwater flows from the development will be conveyed and discharged from the outfall and into the tributary of the Humber River. Given the discharge of flows into the watercourse, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Although the ORC is considered exempt from O.Reg. 166/06, the works are to be constructed by a third party to service adjacent lands, and as such, a formal regulatory approval is required for the development of the proposed crossing. Control of Flooding: The proposed waste processing facility is located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain and will not impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters. A cut /fill balance will be conducted on the site in order to mitigate impacts to the Regional Storm Flood Plain due to the associated works for the related access road /culvert crossing (as described in 028 /07NAUG - Hydro One Networks Inc.). Grading from the development of the waste processing plant will not impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Further, development of the storm ouffall will not affect the extent of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Pollution: Erosion and sediment controls will be erected around the work site prior to construction and maintained for the duration of the works, to ensure that sediment does not enter the watercourse. In addition, silt fencing will be installed around the development site for the processing facility, located to the northwest. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: Erosion on the work site will be minimized through the application of the aforementioned sediment and erosion control measures. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. It is noted that the proposed facility adjacent to the storm outfall site is located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Humber River. No in -water works are proposed as part of the development of the storm outfall. However, given the discharge of flows into the watercourse, a Letter of Advice will be provided on behalf of DFO. Plantings Plantings of native, non - invasive species will be implemented at the ouffall location. These plantings will be carried out in accordance with TRCA Planting and Seed Mix guidelines. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing and Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. 1080 CFN: 38762 - Application #: 029 /07/VAUG Report Prepared by: Kevin Huang, extension 5307 For information contact: Kevin Huang, extension 5307 Date: January 24, 2007 TOWN OF AJAX 8.1.22 TOWN OF AJAX To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure and alter a watercourse on Block 177, Plan 40M -2193, Block 208, Plan 40M -2221, (southeast of Rossland Road and Salem Road), in the Town of Ajax, Carruthers Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by Town of Ajax. The purpose is to undertake site grading and alter a watercourse in the Carruthers Creek Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a sanitary sewer. The permit will be issued for the period of February 2, 2007 to February 1, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking committing to revise drawings in accordance with TRCA staff direction, dated January 18, 2007, prepared by Tom Scanlan, received January 22, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to undertake site grading and to alter a watercourse in the Carruthers Creek Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a sanitary sewer. This proposed crossing of the Carruthers Creek will provide a sanitary sewer for the Town of Ajax Town Firehall and Operation Centre as well as a large area of undeveloped employment lands in the area. The proposed method of construction is by open cut trench across the creek. Creek flow is purposed to be maintained during construction via a flume pipe and coffer dam. Construction staging and restoration plans are to be submitted by the applicant. TRCA ecology staff are of the opinion that the most appropriate time for the construction of this crossing, to minimize impacts, is when the ground is frozen and therefore the works should be completed by the end of February. Control of Flooding: As the works will not change the topography of the creek there will be no impact on flood storage or the conveyance of flood waters. 1081 Pollution: Sediment and erosion control methods will be used throughout the duration of construction to ensure that no sediment enters the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: The open cut method has been chosen to eliminate any geotechnical issues with this crossing. Directional drilling could result in creek bed collapse given the underlying soil strata. Conservation of Land: The creek bed will be restored with native material. The banks of the creek are to be restored with sod blocks harvested from the trench within the valley. All disturbed areas will be restored with native topsoil and seeded in the short term. An erosion mat will be placed over all disturbed areas. Plantings All plantings will be carried out in accordance with TRCA Planting and Seed Mix Guidelines.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of the application is to construct a commercial development including a car wash and maintenance facility and associated coffee shop. The subject property is located at 77 Anderson Avenue, on the east side of Markham Road, south of Major Mackenzie Drive, in the Town of Markham and is located within the Anderson Avenue District. The site contains a portion of Mount Joy Creek which follows the eastern lot line. Through the review of the related planning applications, TRCA staff obtained a 10 metre buffer from the feature, which will be planted with TRCA approved native and non - invasive plant species. No significant vegetation exists on the tableland portion of the site due to historic grading activity. On this basis, TRCA staff are satisfied that there are no negative impacts to Mount Joy Creek and its associated floodplain as a result of the proposed development. Control of Flooding: The proposed grading works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, the proposed works will not impact the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Silt fencing will be installed and maintained during all phases of construction, surrounding the construction area to impede the overland migration of construction generated sediment. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns associated with this proposal. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction, since there is no significant vegetation located on the subject property.

Frank Dale Gerri Lynn O'Connor THAT authorization be given to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff to obtain party status before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) regarding a proposed draft plan of subdivision and zoning amendment application that is not in conformity with the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, or with the Natural Heritage & Natural Hazard policies of the Provincial Policy Statement; THAT staff continue to work cooperatively with our municipal partner and appellants to ensure that the requirements of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program and Provincial Policy Statement are met; THAT staff be authorized to retain legal counsel to pursue this appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board; AND FURTHER THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject property is approximately 40.5 ha (100.0 acres) in size and is located on the west side of Regional Road No. 27 and south of King Road, in the Township of King. The lands are generally vacant and used for agricultural purposes. The subject site is characterized by mixed topography and traversed by a watercourse in the northeast corner of the property which is also located within TRCA's Regulated Area of the Humber River watershed. A wetland and tableland woodlot are located on the west side of the property. 1085 The lands to the south and west of the site are located outside of the urban boundary of the Nobleton Community Plan (NCP) and are not designated for future development. An existing residential community is located to the north while lands to the east are designated existing residential and business area by the -NCP. The Planning Act applications for the subject property is to amend the Towrship of King's Zoning By -law (By -law 74 -53, as amended), in order to facilitate the development of a residential plan of subdivision consisting of 245 single detached homes. The draft plan also includes a commercial block, park, stormwater management pond, open space blocks (stream corridor and woodlot /wetland) along with blocks for future development and a school. The lands are designated Residential, Commercial and Natural Heritage on Schedule A to the NCP (OPA # 57). The lands are currently zoned Transitional (T) and Rural General (RU1), pursuant to Zoning By -law 74 -53, as amended. The applications have been appealed to the OMB by the proponents for the Township of King's failure to render a decision on the proposed plan of subdivision within the review period allotted by the Planning Act and for Council's refusal or neglect to enact the proposed zoning amendment. The applicant initially submitted the applications to the Township of King in December 2004. This submission did not include the requisite supporting information and was deemed incomplete by the township. The required information was not submitted until June 2005, which was then followed by the applicants request to suspend detailed review of the proposal until such time that revised applications could be made. The revised application were received in May 2006. TRCA staff has submitted written comments on the applications to the Township of King's Planning Department and to the applicant on several occasions (September 19, 2005, August 30, 2006 and September 19, 2006). These comments were provided upon the completion of the review of technical documents and associated re- submissions. The most recent set of TRCA comments was furnished to the applicant and township on December 14, 2006. From our review of the applicant's technical submission, two major areas .of concern have arisen. The first issue relates to the proposed stormwater management facility and its impacts to the Regional Storm Flood Plain of a tributary to the Humber River. In 2005, TRCA staff conducted a site walk of the subject lands. At that time, it was noted that a valley bank /wall was not associated with the watercourse traversing the northeast corner of the property. However, in order to establish a proposed limit of development, a flood study for this tributary was requested. Under current conditions, hydraulic modeling projects a flood plain extending over a significant portion of the east side of the property (abutting Regional Road No. 27). 1086 In an attempt to address the extent of the Regional Storm Flood Plain on the property, the applicant has proposed a stormwater management (SWM) facility south of the watercourse, immediately west of Regional Road No. 27. However, TRCA technical staff has determined that filling will be required for this pond which will result in reduced flood plain storage. Additionally, the proposed SWM facility is to act as flood plain storage. However, during a Regional storm event, the pond would effectively be considered full and would not be able to act as flood plain storage, thereby endangering life and property. Lastly, the Regional Storm Flood Plain extends onto Regional Road No. 27 and covers a portion of the single access into the proposed subdivision. While flood depths are approximately 0.3 m under current conditions, TRCA staff is concerned of the future depths of flooding and its impacts on emergency access to ensure the health and safety of future residents. The second issue of interest to TRCA pertains to the woodlot /wetland located on the western portion of the site. The woodiot is designated as natural heritage in the NCP and as significant within York Region's Significant Woodlands Study. In May 2005, TRCA staff attended a site walk staking the limits of the woodiot (the wetland is contained exclusively within the interior of the woodiot). The proposed draft plan does not reflect the staked limits. In particular, the boundary of the woodiot has been the subject of discussions between the applicant, TRCA and the township. Township staff, with technical advice from TRCA, has advocated for the protection of the entire woodiot. including a cultural thicket located on the southern portion of the woodiot. However, the applicant has proposed to protect the northern portion of the woodiot, leaving the regenerating cultural thicket open for development. At this time, the technical submissions made to TRCA have not provided the required ecological information for TRCA technical staff to make a complete and accurate assessment of the function of the cultural thicket within the context of the more mature woodiot to the north. As such, we continue to advocate for the complete protection of this feature until the requisite information has been submitted. RATIONALE The OMB pre- hearing is scheduled for February 13, 2007. Upon discussions with Township of King Planning staff, it is the understanding of staff that a decision has not been made on the subject applications as there is information outstanding on the proposed development. As such, township staff will be attending the pre- hearing. It is noted that the township has expressed concerns over the proposed development including issues relating to servicing, density, transportation and access to the site. Furthermore, TRCA staff has been in consultations with forestry staff from the Regional Municipality of York with respect to the proposed elimination of the southern portion of the woodiot. Given that the entire woodiot is deemed significant under York Region's Significant Woodlands study, the region will attend the pre- hearing and seek party status. While TRCA staff has expressed two areas of concern relating to the proposed development, it is noted that these issues form part of an overall package of concerns from the township and the Region of York. 1087 At this time, the proposed rezoning application and draft plan have been not been amended /revised nor has additional technical information been submitted to address the issues contained in our most recent correspondence of December 16, 2006. The proposal as it stands does not reflect our concerns pertaining to the impacts to the Regional Storm Flood plain nor is it in conformance with the Provincial Policy Statement. Further, the proposal encroaches within the identified limits of the natural features on site. As such, TRCA staff will request party status at the OMB to ensure that TRCA concerns, including tho protection of life and property relating to development in hazardous lands along with the protection of the form and function of the natural features on site, are heard at the future OMB hearing. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff is requesting the authorization of the Executive Committee to retain legal counsel to ensure that TRCA interests are protected and addressed at the hearing. Staff and retained legal counsel will continue to work with the parties and participants to the hearing to resolve any outstanding issues, and will continue to represent the interests of the TRCA before the OMB.

Approval is requested to enter into an agreement with Environment Canada for $25,000 in support of the Greening Retail Program. Frank Dale Gerri Lynn O'Connor THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with Environment Canada dated January 22, 2007 in support of developing the Greening Retail Program; THAT staff be directed to advance the Phase II work plan based on the contribution provided by Environment Canada; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required. CARRIED BACKGROUND The goal of the Greening Retail program is to provide retailers with specific tools, strategies and programs to improve their energy efficiency and environmental performance, and play a major part in the transformation of society toward sustainability. The project will demonstrate to retailers that undertaking these initiatives can enhance the bottom line and thus makes good business sense. At Authority Meeting #3/06, held on April 28, 2006, Resolution #A86/06, in regards to the Greening Retail program, was approved as follows: THAT staff pursue funding and partnership opportunities in order to develop and implement a new program of The Living City that engages the retail sector in the application of sustainable practices and technologies. Phase I, Identifying the Greening Retail Opportunity for Canadian Retailers, has been completed. The research in Phase I confirmed the initial premise of Greening Retail that retailers can profit from implementation of good environmental practice and that many leading retailers are embracing best practices. However, the research also indicated that the adoption of best practices is not yet pervasive in the sector. Discussions with leading retailers indicated that there is a need to support retailers with industry guidelines and detailed actionable information to assist in the adoption of best practices in environmental management. Phase II will focus on interviews with leading retailers from around the world that were identified in Phase I in order to document the strategies, tactics and tools used to successfully implement environmental best practices in their organizations. This information will be used in the development of programs to engage the retail sector in Phase III. 1091 Phase III will focus on developing and delivering programs, tools and pilot implementation projects with leading retailers, to accelerate the adoption of environmental best practices across the sector. It is envisioned that programs in Phase III will include an interactive web site for the benchmarking of performance and sharing of best practices; development of social marketing programs that can reach the diverse scope and scale of the sector; and specific implementation pilot projects to demonstrate and document savings and environmental outcomes. RATIONALE The retail sector is perhaps the greatest purveyor of culture in Canada, as it is in most countries around the world. The size and importance of the retail sector in Canada is often underestimated. In fact, it accounts for in excess of $360 billion in trade, employs 12% of the workforce, and occupies 1.1 billion square feet of building space. Environmentally, retail sector greenhouse gas emissions amount to 20 million tonnes, and a nearly equivalent amount is produced by suppliers to the sector. Because of its broad reach, the retail sector has the potential to effect significant change in society in a way that no other industry can. Corporately, retailers can define environmentally - oriented purchasing requirements and, at the store level, can educate consumers. Retail acts as the gatekeeper for the goods and services consumers are offered and, as such, has the ability to influence behaviour and consumption patterns. Working with the retail sector to adopt environmental best practices provides an opportunity to achieve substantive change in support of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's vision for The Living City and objectives. Environment Canada has agreed to provide $25,000 to TRCA for completion of several deliverables that form part of the Phase II development of the Greening Retail program. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Appropriate TRCA officials will execute the MOU. Under the MOU, the following work will be conducted which are tasks related to the Phase II work plan described above. 1092 Expenses Description Cost Human Resources and other related costs (i.e. Overtime) - A manager, coordinator, and technical staff Contact retailers to discuss environmental best practices and environmental benefits; document results $4,000 Research and create a survey protocol and structure to document strategies tactics and tools used by leading retailers. Identify benchmarks and standards used by retailers to gauge performance; document and summarize savings and environmental outcomes $8,000 . Interviews with the management team of a major leading retailer to establish their use of best practices $5,300 Summary of results of interviews, case studies of participating retailers, estimated savings and environmental benefits for each participating retailer. $4,200 Administration Project planning, costing, budget tracking, phone, fax, printing $2,000 Travel Mileage, rental, gas, accommodation $1,500 Total $25,000 At the end of the project a final report will be prepared for Environment Canada summarizing the results of the project. FINANCIAL DETAILS This project is being supported by a financial contribution of $25,000 from Environment Canada. The term of the MOU ends on March 31, 2007.
