CARRIED BACKGROUND The erosion problem along this section of Mimico Creek was first identified to TRCA in 1981 when a former owner expressed concern over the loss of tableland on their property at 221 Martin Grove Road. Following a visual inspection by TRCA staff, the site was added to the TRCA erosion monitoring list where it has been inspected annually since that time. In 1995 Mirella Marnica acquired the property. By 2004 the erosion had accelerated to the point that the need for remedial works became apparent, leading TRCA staff to recommend that an erosion control project be undertaken. The project was formally initiated under the Class Environmental Assessment for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects i n July 2005. The Class EA was completed in early 2006. 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 the owner. 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 Mimico Creek 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. 2 FINANCIAL DETAILS Cost to complete construction of remedial works and final site restoration to cost $65,000. The site will be added to the Erosion Control Structures Database for future monitoring and maintenance. Funding for expenses involved in completing this transaction are available from the 221 Martin Grove Road Erosion Control Project account, from the City of Toronto.

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 On October 12, 2005, in the Speech from the Throne, the province announced they would be creating the Bob Hunter Memorial Park in the Rouge River watershed. On August 21, 2006, Premier Dalton McGuinty officially opened Bob Hunter Memorial Park. The park was named in honour of noted journalist and environmental activist Bob Hunter who was one of the founders of Greenpeace and a popular television broadcaster. In March of 2006, the province transferred $100,000 to the Rouge Park Alliance through the Town of Markham for the preparation of a park management plan. 5 The park is bordered on the north by Highway 407, on the south by Steeles Avenue, on the west by the Canadian Pacific Railway and on the east by Little Rouge Creek as shown on the attached plan. The park is 192.678 hectares (476.119 acres) in size and contains 12 residential dwellings, 1 equestrian rental, 1 commercial rental and a number of outbuildings and farm land rentals. It is proposed that the park be owned by TRCA and managed as part of the Rouge Park with park management direction from the Rouge Park Alliance. A report on the acquisition will be taken forward to the Rouge Park Alliance for their approval on March 23, 2007. The restoration and development of the park will be dealt with at a later date by the Rouge Park Alliance. Ontario Realty Corporation (ORC) has undertaken a Phase 1 Environmental Audit on the subject lands and has also completed a Phase 2 Environmental Audit on areas recommended for work by the Phase 1 report. There are no outstanding environmental issues with the subject property. Detailed inspections of all the dwellings located on the subject property have been undertaken at ORC's expense. These inspections have revealed that substantial work is required on a majority of these dwellings to bring them up to a reasonable state of repair. Staff is recommending that TRCA not accept the transfer of these lands without a commitment from ORC to upgrade the dwellings to state of repair acceptable to TRCA. FINANCIAL DETAILS ORC has paid for the Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Audits and the legal surveys. They have also agreed to reimburse TRCA for the cost of the house inspections and TRCA's legal costs up to $20,000. Staff has also advised ORC that TRCA will require a financial commitment from ORC to upgrade the rental dwellings to a state of repair acceptable to TRCA. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE These lands are rented for farm, residential or commercial purposes. All costs of managing the properties including taxes, insurance and maintenance will be covered as part of the management of the rental portfolio.

CARRIED 11 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. David G. Goodaire of Goodaire Pelgrims Professional Corporation, Barristers & Solicitors, on behalf of 1613935 Ontario 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 Duffins Creek watershed, as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. Through the review of Consent Applications LD 150/2005 and LD 151/2005, TRCA staff established the limits of the lands to be acquired (i.e. Parts 3 and 4 on Plan 40R- 24707) which are comprised of a portion of the Regional Storm flood plain and valley corridor of the Duffins Creek at this location. In addition to the acquisition of Part 3 and the conservation easement (Part 4), staff also requested that the consent approval be conditional upon 1613935 Ontario Limited entering into an agreement which would grant TRCA first right of refusal (based on market value) for the acquisition of the remaining valley lands (i.e. the retained lands - Part 2 on 40R- 24707), currently being utilized for the owner's landscaping business, on any future sale. The consent application approval has now expired; however, it is staff's opinion that our outstanding conditions can be dealt with through the acquisition process and will also accomplish the severance of land originally sought through the expired consent applications. Staff has discussed this matter with municipal staff and will ensure that the proposed transfer of Parts 3 and 4 to TRCA is conditional upon receipt of written confirmation from the Town of Ajax and the Regional Municipality of Durham (Region of Durham), confirming that all municipal requirements have been satisfied by 1613935 Ontario Limited. At this time, Town of Ajax staff and the owner are reviewing an agreement, incorporating all outstanding conditions for the lapsed consent applications; a similar agreement will be negotiated by Region of Durham staff. 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 2008 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.

All reasonable expenses incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs, and disbursements are to be paid; THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required; AND FURTHER THAT the City of Pickering be so advised. In an attempt to obtain wider exposure, the property was placed on the Multiple Listing services through Re /Max First Realty Ltd. in January 2007, at a listing price of $349,900. The selection of Re /Max First Realty Ltd. was made in accordance with TRCA's policy for the selection of real estate brokers. A total of nine offers were received for the subject lot ranging from $250,000 - $382,500. 18 The subject lot is part of a much larger holding that was acquired by TRCA from R.M. Rigby on March 18, 1980 and from Anne Zid on January 28, 2005, under the Natural Heritage Lands Protection and Acquisition Project 2001 -2005. The TRCA acquisition of the land was a strategic move towards realizing the City of Pickering's vision for the waterfront as set out in the Mayor's Task Force report with a portion of the land necessary for the completion of the waterfront trail and open space requirements. In accordance with the direction of the Authority resolution, the acquisition of the Zid property was completed with the intent that the portion not required for park or trail purposes be sold as a building lot and assist in offsetting associated costs. The created lot fully conforms to existing zoning and exceeds minimum lot area and lot frontage requirements. The lot configuration is comparable to the existing single family lot to the north and is in full character with lots in the neighbourhood and appropriate restrictions will be registered on title. A sketch showing the location of the subject lot is appended. FINANCIAL DETAILS Property staff has thoroughly reviewed all offers received and are recommending that the offer to purchase from Dominique Androutsos for $382,500 be accepted, as it exceeds the appraised value established by an independent valuation obtained by TRCA. It is proposed that the proceeds from this sale be used in the funding of the purchase of priority properties within TRCA Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010.

The Regional Municipality of Peel 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 widening and reconstruction of Queen Street East be conveyed for the nominal consideration of $2.00. In addition to the fee simple conveyance, the Regional Municipality of Peel will need to utilize other TRCA lands in this area for temporary construction purposes. A plan illustrating the fee simple conveyance and temporary construction easement locations is attached. The widening and reconstruction of Queen Street East will impact TRCA's property line fence and vegetation along sections of the project route. Region of Peel staff has agreed to replace and, where appropriate, upgrade the fence to help prevent periodic illegal access / dumping on TRCA property. 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 166/06. FINANCIAL DETAILS The Regional Municipality of Peel has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing this transaction.

Moved by: Seconded by: Ron Moeser Richard Whitehead 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 proposed Official Plan Amendment to the City of Toronto Official Plan; 2) a proposed Amendment to Zoning By -law 432 -86, as amended, of the City of Toronto; and 3) any other associated applications under the Planning Act, to permit a mixed use development on lands known as 429 Lakeshore Boulevard and 324 Cherry Street as the applications are premature; THAT staff continue to work cooperatively with the City of Toronto, Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC) and the appellants to resolve the issues; THAT staff be authorized to retain legal counsel to pursue this appeal before the OMB, if necessary; AND FURTHER THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject property is a 5.5 hectare parcel located between Lakeshore Boulevard to the south and east, the Keating Channel to the south, and lands located to the east of the Parliament Street Slip, to the west. The subject property is located in the Don River watershed, and is currently undeveloped. The entire property is subject to Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses) as it is located within a floodplain. The floodplain will cease to exist upon completion of the flood protection landform in the West Don Lands. 24 The Planning Act applications have been put forth to permit development of a mixed commercial - residential project to include a maximum of 155,000 square metres of residential, 35,000 square metres of non - residential floor area, along with parkland. In order to proceed with the development, the following approvals are required under the Planning Act: 1) an Official Plan Amendment to redesignate land from industrial to mixed use and open space; 2) a Zoning By -law Amendment to implement a mixed residential - commercial community; and 3) possibly other approvals such as a Draft Plan of Subdivision. The Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By -law Amendment put forth by the applicant have both been refused by City Council and appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. A pre- hearing conference is scheduled for March 12, 2007. In addition, the applicant is also Party to a separate appeal of the Central Waterfront Secondary Plan at the Ontario Municipal Board. At this time, the OMB has not made a determination as to when, or at which hearing the applicant's issues will be heard. RATIONALE In addition to various other concerns put forth by the City of Toronto, the subject property is within the study area of the Don Mouth Naturalization and Portlands Flood Protection Environmental Assessment. TRCA is the eligible recipient of funding from the TWRC to carry out the Environmental Assessment (EA). The Terms of Reference for the EA have been approved by the Ministry of the Environment, and include various alternatives to be considered for the renaturalization of the mouth of the Don River and for flood conveyance to protect the Portlands. Two of the alternatives may require a portion of the subject property for flood conveyance. The evaluation of alternatives is currently underway and may be compromised by approvals under the Planning Act for the subject property. The applicant's current proposal does not take into account the various alternatives being evaluated in the EA, and therefore TRCA staff is of the opinion that the application is premature. It is anticipated that the preferred alternative will be selected in early 2008, at which time staff will be in a better position to proceed with review of the applicant's proposal. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff is requesting authorization of the Authority to obtain Party Status at the OMB and retain legal counsel, if necessary, in order to ensure that the evaluation of alternatives in the Don Mouth Renaturalization and Portlands Flood Protection Environmental Assessment is not compromised. Staff is working on a costing solution that would enable them to assist the TWRC and the City of Toronto without having to incur legal costs and hire a lawyer. TRCA staff request direction to attend the pre- hearing conference on March 12, 2007, pursue a resolution to the timing of the hearing, and discuss the most cost effective way to pursue legal representation with the TWRC and the City of Toronto.

Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06, written permission from the Authority is required for: a) straightening, changing, diverting or interfering in any way with the existing channel of a river, creek, stream or watercourse, or for changing or interfering in any way with a wetland; b) development, if in the opinion of the authority, the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches or pollution or the conservation of land may be affected by the development. A permit may be refused through a Hearing Process, if in the opinion of the Authority, the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land is affected. Moved by: Seconded by: Richard Whitehead Rob Ford THAT permits be granted in accordance with Ontario Regulation 166/06 for the applications (8.1.1 - 8.1.18 and 8.1.59 - 8.1.62, inclusive) which are listed below. CARRIED CITY OF BRAMPTON 8.1.1 REGION OF PEEL To site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere in Kennedy Valley Park, City of Brampton, Etobicoke Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by the City of Brampton. The purpose is to site grade (access road) and temporarily or permanently place material (pedestrian trail), originating on the site or elsewhere in Kennedy Valley Park, in the City of Brampton, Etobicoke Creek Watershed. The permit will be issued for the period of March 2, 2007 to March 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, dated February 15, 2007; received February 15, 2007; prepared by the Region of Peel. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 27 Proposal: This proposal consists of two phases which will involve the re- lining of existing sanitary sewers in Kennedy Valley Park. Phase 1 will involve the widening of an existing pedestrian trail to 5 to 8 metres to allow for an access route for vehicles to manholes throughout the valley. Once construction is complete, the trail will be reduced in size to 3.5 to 4 metres and divided into a bike lane and pedestrian lane. Jersey barriers will be used for a section of the trail that is located close to the Etobicoke Creek. By -pass pipes will be installed to divert sewage to a point past the construction limits. A temporary berm will be constructed around the by -pass pumps at the initial connection point along with a granular splash pad. An existing 380mm diameter culvert, which currently runs under the pedestrian trail, for site runoff, will be extended to accommodate the wider path. Access to the trail will be from First Gulf Boulevard where a temporary path will be constructed and then removed once works have been completed. Additional plantings will result as compensation for the wider trail. Phase 2 will involve the re- lining of two sanitary sewers which run parallel to each other and are located just east of Kennedy Road. Access to these sewers will occur through manholes located at the golf course and through manholes that were used in Phase 1. Sewage will be diverted from one sewer to the next eliminating the need for a by -pass pumping system. Control of Flooding: The proposed works will have no impact to the control of flooding. Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (silt fencing, jersey barriers) 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 are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposal. Conservation of Land: As the watercourse will not be impacted by the trail development, no fisheries concerns will result. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored to existing conditions or better upon completion of the project. Additional plantings will be located within the floodplain to compensate for the area lost due to the wider trail. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. 28 CFN: 38471 - Application #: 730 /06 /BRAM Report Prepared by: Sharon Lingertat, extension 5717 For information contact: Sharon Lingertat, extension 5717 Date: February 19, 2007 8.1.2 REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF PEEL To permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere and alter a watercourse on Bramsteele Road Crossing of Etobicoke Creek tributary, in the City of Brampton, Etobicoke Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by The Regional Municipality of Peel.

The purpose is to construct, site grade, temporarily /permanently remove /place fill partially within a regulated area, alter a watercourse, and interfere with a wetland to enable works to be undertaken associated with the Stage 3 Expansion Site Preparation Contact of the Duffins Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. The permit will be issued for the period of March 2, 2007 to March 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 to address the comments as outlined in TRCA's letter dated January 9, 2007; prepared by the Regional Municipality of York and the Regional Municipality of Durham; dated February 16, 2007; received by TRCA February 16, 2007. 34 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: In order to meet the projected sanitary sewerage servicing requirements of the York Durham Sewage System (YDSS) the Regions of Durham and York completed an Environmental Assessment (EA), "Provision of Additional Capacity at the Duffins Creek Water Pollution Control Plant - Schedule C Class Environmental Assessment" which was filed in September 2006 with the comment period ending on October 23, 2006. The preferred solution is to expand the Duffins Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. Presently the site plan application for the site preparation works is being reviewed by the City of Pickering. In preparation of the proposed expansion the following works are being proposed at this time: • removal of existing wetland north of the existing of Montgomery Park Road • demolition and removal of roads (Montgomery Park Road and Susan Drive) • removal and demolition of underground utilities • relocation of the existing heritage farm house (from a Regulated Area to an area that is not regulated) • installation of site /security fencing • clearing and grubbing • excavation and rough grading (for construction of berms and the new wetland) • south channel drainage realignment (alteration to a watercourse) • berm construction at the eastern and southern portions of the property • construction of temporary sedimentation pond at the southern portion of the property • demolition and removal of southern portion of Jodrel Road • reconstruction of northern section of Jodrel Road • construction of new permanent access road • construction of temporary access road and subsequent demolition and removal • influent sewer locate • decommissioning of north -south swale on the east side of the WPCP and subsequent construction of a new north -south swale further east which will provide the existing drainage capacity. It may ultimately be relocated in the future as construction proceeds further on site and will be vegetated as part of the Greening and Biodiversity Plan. In general the above noted works will allow the proponents to prepare the site for the future Stage 3 Expansion. Further design details will be reviewed by TRCA staff under separate permits. The Team Duffin Site Office upgrades and Waterfront Trail Realignment (which are included in this site preparation works contract) were conditionally approved by the TRCA Executive Committee in October 2006 (CFN 38202). It has been agreed by TRCA and the Regions that enhancements to the site would be incorporated into the overall project by teaming with TRCA to design and construct a new wetland and berming system in accordance with the overall "Greening and Biodiversity Concept Plan" which has been developed in consultation with the TRCA and the City of Pickering. Due to time constraints, the above mentioned preliminary works need to proceed prior to completion of the detailed design of the expansion and the preparation of landscaping plans. 35 The Region's have submitted a Letter of Commitment to TRCA which outlines their dedication to work with the TRCA to design and construct the new wetland and berming system, to prepare and submit permit applications and detailed drawings to the TRCA for review and comment for each stage of construction and to address all concerns and issues that TRCA identifies. The letter also commits to assess the disturbance to and removal of all existing vegetation carried out at all stages of construction (i.e. under permits relating to TRCA CFN 38202 and this permit) to ensure that all vegetation disturbance and removal is compensated for and that a net environmental enhancement is achieved to the satisfaction of TRCA through the Greening and Biodiversity Plan. The Region's have also submitted to TRCA an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to describe the methods for mitigating environmental impacts for the construction and operation of the expanded Duffin Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP). These methods will be implemented prior to, during, and post construction as required to mitigate potential impacts on all components of the environment including natural, social and technical components. In addition to the mitigation measures, the Regions are committed to a detailed program aimed at monitoring for compliance with the EMP. TRCA staff has also met with York /Durham staff and City of Pickering staff to ensure that proceedings are transparent to the Regions, Municipality and TRCA. Control of Flooding: The storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be impacted by the proposed works. Pollution: Standard sediment and erosion control measures (silt fence, etc.) will be implemented for the duration of construction and until the site is restored in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering any watercourse or Lake Ontario. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There will be no slope stability or erosion concerns with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: There will be no impacts to fish habitat as a result of the proposed works. Additional restoration will take place as part of future works through the Greening /Biodiversity Plan. The detailed design associated with the Greening /Biodiversity Plan will be developed in consultation with staff of TRCAs Waterfront Restoration Division to ensure consistency with TRCA projects and objectives along the Lake Ontario Waterfront, as well as at the Duffins Marsh. Plantings Some disturbed areas will be restored with native /non- invasive species following construction. Additional restoration will take place as part of future works through the Greening and Biodiversity Plan. 36 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 within a Regulated Area (site grade, remove /place fill /material, alter a watercourse, construct in a Regional Storm Floodplain) for works including the installation a sanitary sewer by tunneling, open cut of on land and of the Main Humber River, and provision of associated access routes. The permit will be issued for the period of March 2, 2007 to March 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, provide further information as required, and address comments provided by TRCA staff, all to the satisfaction of TRCA; prepared by the Regional Municipality of York; dated February 19, 2007; received by TRCA February 19, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 47 Proposal: The West Rainbow Creek trunk sanitary sewer serves the western portion of the City of Vaughan. The need to upgrade the trunk sewer was identified in the 2002 update of the York - Durham Sewage Master Plan as a requirement to provide additional trunk sewer capacity to accommodate future growth in the City of Vaughan as approved in the Official Plan. As part of the York - Durham Sewage System (YDSS), a new trunk sewer referred to as the West Rainbow Creek Sanitary Sewer is to be constructed in the Highway 407 area between Kipling Avenue and Islington Avenue. A Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) was completed in January 2007 which outlined the preferred route of sanitary sewer north of, and parallel to, Highway 407 with a single crossing of the Humber River via open trench methods on the south side of Highway 407. The new trunk sewer will require tunnelling through a hill for installation of a portion of the gravity sewer as well as open cut in the Humber Valley. A 1050 millimetre diameter pipe will be constructed to accommodate the planned sewage flows. At the Humber River, a multiple pipe crossing using three 675 millimetre diameter pipes is proposed. The multiple pipe design will provide the same hydraulic capacity as the single pipe however it will increase the available cover at the Humber River crossing by almost 0.4 metres, to 0.8 metres. During the EA process a fluvial geomorphic assessment was completed to determine the preferred crossing location. As part of the design to prevent vertical scour and stabilize the stream banks, erosion protection measures have been proposed for the stream banks extending 3 metres upstream and downstream of the pipe crossing. At the western end of the proposed sewer it will connect to the new MH #1 being constructed on the existing sewer line. At the eastern end of the proposed sewer it will connected to the Woodbridge Collector by modifying existing MH #2 -7A. The sewer will be constructed by the following methods: West Tunnel Section The west portion of the proposed sewer will begin approximately 35 metres east of Rainbow Creek north of Highway 407, constructed by tunneling 435 metres in length and 1.8 metres in diameter with sewer depths varying from 5 metres to approximately 24 metres. The sewer will run easterly tunneled beneath an unnamed watercourse feature. Entrance and exit shafts will be constructed at the east and west ends of the tunnel section. East Open Cut Trench A 445 metre long open cut section will begin at the east end of the tunnel and extend east to approximately 40 metres west of the Humber River. The depth of the open cut trench will vary from approximately 3 to 4.5 metres. Gas Main Within the east open cut trench section east of the tunnel section, the proposed sewer will be constructed by a siphon technique using two pipes (825 millimetre diameter and 675 millimetre) beneath an existing 900 millimetre diameter high pressure gas main at approximately Sta. 1 +640 with a minimum cover of 1.0 metre cover. Works will be constructed by open cut trench techniques. 48 South Open Cut Trench A 150 metre long open cut trench will start at the east end of the east open trench and extend below the Highway 407 bridge parallel to the Main Humber River (approximately 25 to 40 metres west of the west bank of the river). The depth of the open cut trench will vary from approximately 3 to 4.5 metres. The sewer will be constructed by open cut trench methods across an unnamed watercourse feature (the same feature as mentioned in "west tunnel section" above). Humber River Crossing Open Cut The open cut crossing of the Humber River will start at the south end of the south open cut trench and extend to approximately 25 metres east to the west bank of the Humber river. The construction will be phased into two sections, with the sewer first being constructed into the west half of the river crossing ending in the middle of the river. Once the western section of the streambed is restored, the east half of the crossing will be constructed in the same way as the west half. After the entire river crossing is completed, restoration of the native streambed and fish habitat in this reach of the river will be completed. Access Routes Four separate access routes will be required for construction: Access to the westerly section of the proposed works will be provided off the westbound lanes of Highway 407 east of the Rainbow Creek bridge structure. The access will be used for construction of the tunnel exit shaft, MH #1 at the existing sewer connection and the new 1050 millimetre diameter sanitary sewer between. Access to the easterly section of the proposed works (west of the Humber River) will be provided off Veneto Drive east of Kipling Avenue. This access will be used for construction of the tunnel entrance shaft and tunnel, the western half of the Humber River crossing, the siphon crossing of the gas pipeline and the new 1050 millimetre diameter sanitary sewer and manholes between the tunnel and the Humber River. Access to the section east of the Humber River will be from the west side of Islington Avenue along the existing Woodbridge Collector sewer easement. This access will be used for modification of MH #2 -7A at the Woodbridge Collector sewer connection, the eastern half of the Humber River crossing, and the new 1050 millimetre diameter sewer in between. Access to the existing West Rainbow Creek trunk sewer south of Rainbow Creek will be provided from an existing access route form the north side of Steeles Avenue, for the decommissioning of the existing sewer on the south side of Rainbow Creek. Dewatering Construction dewatering will be required for most of the alignment, including inside sheetpile excavations to cross the Humber River. Groundwater dewatering will be monitored throughout construction and mitigation measures implemented in accordance with the required Environmental Management Plan. 49 Floodplain A portion of the tunneling section and all open cut sections are within the Regional Storm Floodplain. Existing Sewer The existing sewer will decommissioned when the newly proposed sewer is in service. TRCA and York Region are working together to determine what portions of the sewer should be removed due to risks associated with erosion and downcutting and to determine appropriate timing for this undertaking. Control of Flooding: The storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be significantly impacted with the proposed works. Pollution: Standard sediment and erosion control measures 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. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: 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). In water works will proceed during the cold -water timing window of July 1 to September 15. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored to better than existing conditions with native /non- invasive species 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.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 52 Proposal: The purpose of this application is to construct a new, two - storey 303.5 square metre (3,267.0 sq. ft.) residential dwelling within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed. The rear portion of the subject property, immediately adjacent to Toogood Pond, is currently within the Unionville Special Policy Area (SPA) which recognizes the limit of the historic Regional Floodplain on the site. Updated TRCA flood data indicates that an additional portion of the subject property, including the proposed location of the replacement dwelling, will be inundated with flood waters during the Regional Storm event. An initiative by the Town of Markham to update its SPA boundaries would encompass the additional flood prone portion of the property. Though the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) have not approved the SPA boundary changes at this time, TRCA staff have determined based on several discussions with MNR and MMAH staff and through technical review, that the proposed dwelling would be in accordance with SPA policies. As such, TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed dwelling is in keeping with the intent of the Unionville SPA as it does not propose to change the land use or intensify the use of the property. In addition, the proposed dwelling is of a similar scale and location in relation to the adjacent residential properties. The proposed dwelling will be adequately floodproofed in accordance with SPA criteria and the dwelling will also be able 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 the proposed addition will not have any significant impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters. 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. Conservation of Land: The subject property is void of any significant vegetation. As such, no significant vegetation will be removed as a result of this project.

The only available outlet for an emergency overflow for the pumping station is the existing 3.32 x 1.6 metre concrete box culvert located approximately 50 metres south of the proposed pumping station. The overflow will be via a 200 millimetre diameter pipe 54 extending from the proposed MH801A to the existing culvert, the overflow pipe will be sized to handle the ultimate peak design flow of the pumping station which is 11 litres /second. To reduce the risk of complete failure of the pumping station a number of contingency features have been included in the design of the station. A check valve will be installed to prevent the inflow of water into the sewer system in the event of a storm. The check valve will be a "duck- billed" type and will be installed in a separate manhole, between the sanitary manhole and the culvert on Martin Street. This will protect the valve form siltation and debris and allow for easier maintenance. Should the culvert require replacement, the check valve will not be affected. From the check valve manhole, a pipe will connect the overflow to the culvert. Sanitary Sewer Sanitary sewers (200 millimetre in diameter) and associated manholes will be constructed via open trench methods in Contract Area 8 (Martin Street, Norman Drive, Hambly Avenue, Heritage Park, Humber Crescent) connecting to the pumping station. A portion of the sewers are located within the floodplain and regulated area on Martin Street. There is one watercourse crossing whereby the sanitary sewer will be constructed by jack and bore methods beneath the existing concrete box culvert. Forcemain A forcemain (100 millimetre in diameter) will constructed via open trench methods along the north -south section of Martin Street (partially within the floodplain and regulated area) that will pump sewage from the pumping station south to the existing sanitary sewer on Melrose Avenue where it will ultimately flow by gravity to the York - Durham Sewage System (YDSS). There is one watercourse crossing whereby the sanitary sewer will be constructed by jack and bore methods beneath the existing concrete box culvert. Watermain A watermain (150 millimetres in diameter) will be constructed on Martin Street via open trench methods (in the regulated area and the floodplain) in conjunction with the sanitary sewage system works. There will be no watercourse crossing associated with these works. Road Restoration Roads will be reconstructed following open cut construction. Dewatering Any required groundwater dewatering will be monitored throughout construction and mitigation measures implemented in accordance with the required Environmental Management Plan. The King City Sanitary Sewer project was reviewed by TRCA staff during the Environmental Assessment process. 55 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. Although the pumping station will be constructed in the floodplain either a cut and fill balance procedure will be implemented or the HEC -RAS hydraulic model will be updated to demonstrate the fill /material associated with the pumping station will not negatively impact the floodlines upstream and downstream of the structure. Pollution: Standard sediment and erosion control measures 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 /wetland features. 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. 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). All watercourses on the Oak Ridges Moraine have been identified as hydrologically sensitive features. There is one watercourse within the project limits. 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). Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with native /non- invasive species following construction, as required. The Region of York has provided a Letter of Undertaking to TRCA committing to planting a portion of Doris Patten Park in the future with native /non- invasive species to the satisfaction of TRCA staff and in accordance with TRCA guidelines to provide a net environmental enhancement. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. 56 CFN: 38600 - Application #: 806 /06 /KING Report Prepared by: Chris Barber, extension 5715 For information contact: Beth Williston, extension 5217 Date: February 21, 2007 8.1.18 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 and interfere with a wetland on Lot 5, Concession 3 (Burton Grove - Contract Area 7), in the Township of King, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Regional Municipality of York.

The purpose is to continue with the implementation of the East Highland Creek Environmental Assessment (Valley Segment 8), required to secure the sewer infrastructure traversing the watercourse. The permit will be issued for the period of March 2, 2007 to March 1, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking to provide revisions to the engineering and restoration drawings to the satisfaction of TRCA; prepared by the City of Toronto; dated February 20, 2007; received by TRCA February 22, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 75 Proposal: Through the City of Toronto's Wet Weather Flow Management Master Plan, it was identified that sewage infrastructure in Highland Creek required protection. Highland Creek is a volatile watershed, subject to flash floods and significant erosion. Historically, much of the area's infrastructure was located within the valley corridor, paralleling and traversing the watercourse. As a result of the Wet Weather Flow Management Master Plan, the city has commissioned the Highland Creek Geomorphic Master Plan to provide recommendations on how the watercourse should be managed to protect the infrastructure. In the Wet Weather Flow Management Master Plan, removal of the infrastructure from the valley corridor was considered cost prohibitive and was therefore not considered in the review of the East Highland Creek Environmental Assessment. On August 19, 2005 a severe storm exposed and broke sections of the sanitary sewer located within East Highland Creek (also known as Valley Segment 8). Emergency works authorizations and permits were issued by TRCA, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Ministry of the Environment to secure sections of broken or vulnerable pipes located in Valley Segment 8: Phase I, Stage I (immediately downstream of this project site). As a condition of approval through the emergency works process, the city was required to undertake an environmental assessment of the project area. It was acknowledged by all agencies that the environmental assessment would be undertaken in advance of the completion of the geomorphic master plan. It was further acknowledged that the environmental assessment should take a systems approach to management and consider Valley Segment 8 in its entirety -- from north of Ellesmere Road to its confluence with Highland Creek at Morningside Park. The environmental assessment is now complete. Implementation of the Phase III is recommended as the next priority area in order to ensure that additional sections of the sewer deemed to be at risk, are not breached during a major storm event. Valley Segment 8: Phase III is located immediately upstream of the nearly complete works at Phase 1: Stage I. The detailed design for Phase III involves altering the bed and banks of East Highland Creek in the vicinity of the Ellesmere Road Bridge. Due to the significant amount of infrastructure crossing the watercourse, implementing a modified natural channel design is required. The principles of fluvial geomorphology and flow hydraulics will be adhered to, and the design of each phase of the project will be linked through cross section, profile and platforms. Flow hydraulics, shear stress, and geomorphic stability were all considered in the design. The proposed creek alignment closely follows the post August 1 9th storm alignment. The location of pools and riffles are based on geometry and platform alignment, and will allow for fish passage and habitat creation. The upstream bed (where a sewer traverses the watercourse north of Ellesmere Road) is used as a set point. The channel will be regraded to match the downstream setpoint (at the matchpoint with Phase I, Stage I) which is also constrained by existing sewers. Through this deign, the two metre drop in grade at the Ellesmere Road bridge will be eliminated and as such, the super - critical flow will be eliminated and fish passage beneath the bridge will be created. This project will be monitored for a minimum of five years post construction to ensure functionality and to facilitate corrective adjustments to the design if required as a result of excessive erosion or unexpected channel adjustments. 76 Control of Flooding: The storage or conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted by the proposed works. Pollution: Standard sediment and erosion control measures 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: There will be no slope stability concerns with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: There will be in stream works associated with this project. The in stream works will constitute a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat and will require an authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The project is located on TRCA property. An archaeological assessment has been requested and TRCA staff are prepared to issue permission to enter (PTE) upon its completion. When the DFO authorization has been received, and the PTE issued by TRCA Property Section, TRCA staff will be in a position to issue the Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored to better than existing conditions with native, non - invasive species to provide and environmental net gain. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (1994).

The permit will be issued for the period of March 2, 2007 to March 1, 2009. 77 • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Geomorphic Solutions, dated February 23, 2007, received on February 23, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to restore the remaining site (Site 5) on Highland Creek extending east of Markham Road at the Scarboro Golf Course, damaged in the August 19, 2005 storm. This is a continuation of other restoration works for three sites (Sites 1, 2 and 3) completed in 2006 and for five sites (Sites 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) recently approved at the February 2, 2007 Executive Committee meeting. The proposal is to repair bank erosion in a location approximately 100 metres downstream of the Markham Road bridge. The reach in question includes a stretch of failing armourstone wall, failed gabion basket wall, and a scoured point bar across from those walls. The works will include a combination of soft and hard bank treatments, vegetated buttresses (flow deflectors) and rock vortex weirs to enhance channel stability and reduce channel degradation. Control of Flooding: The works are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, however, storage and conveyance of storm water will not be impacted. Pollution: A temporary coffer dam and filtered dewatering pump will be installed to prevent the migration of constructed generated sediment into the watercourse and allow for work in the dry. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: The works are designed to reduce erosion of the banks. The armourstone wall, vegetated buttresses and a portion of the tableland adjacent to the bank will be revegetated to assist with reducing erosion. There are no geotechnical issues with the proposal. Conservation of Land: All filled and disturbed areas will be stabilized and revegetated following construction. Tree protection and sediment control fencing will be in place. No significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works. There will be no impact to fisheries.

The purpose is to permit the temporary/permanent placement, dumping or removal of material, interfere with a wetland and alter a watercourse within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain of the East Don River, in order to conduct an inspection of an existing weir structure within an on -line pond located south of Major Mackenzie Drive, east of Dufferin Street, in Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. The permit will be issued for the period of March 2, 2007 to March 1, 2009. • Proposed Plan for the Overflow Weir Structure Associated with Vitullo Pond on the West Branch of the East Don River, prepared by Groundwater Environmental Management Services Inc., dated November 27, 2006, received December 1, 2006; • Response Letter, prepared by Groundwater Environmental Management Services Inc., dated February 6, 2007, received February 6, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to temporarily /permanently remove material, interfere with a wetland and alter a watercourse within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain of the west branch of the East Don River, in order to allow for an inspection and remedial works on an existing weir structure located on an existing on -line pond within Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. The weir structure was erected on this tributary in the past and has created a small (0.14 ha) on -line pond along with a locally significant wetland upstream. As part of the overall associated draft approved plan of subdivision (19T- 95065), the TRCA will acquire ownership of this pond and the surrounding valley system in the future when the registration of the subdivision occurs. 79 Prior to the dedication of these lands into public ownership, TRCA staff and staff from the City of Vaughan has requested remedial works to take place on the weir structure. However, in order to conduct an accurate assessment of the current state of the weir, a visual assessment is required. This will be accomplished through a temporary lowering of the pond's water level. Given the complexities associated with the existing structure, TRCA staff and the applicant have agreed to a phased approach whereby a visual inspection and basic remedial work will be carried out in the first phase. Subsequent phases of work and their extent will be determined depending on the results of the inspection of the weir structure. A small double coffer dam with sand and pea gravel bags will be installed upstream of the pond to facilitate ponding and allow pumping of water around the pond and into the channel directly downstream of the weir. For the duration of the works, flows will be regulated with pumps to match existing flows. A fish rescue may be required for safe return of any fish that become trapped in isolated ponds. A qualified fish biologist will be on -site to monitor the drawdown and support crew to perform the fish rescue. Non - native fish found will be euthanized while native species will be released upstream of the coffer dam following capture. In order to conduct a complete visual inspection of the weir, removal of accumulated sediment on the bottom of the pond is necessary. Hand tools and a mini - excavator will be used to remove this sediment. All sediment removed from the pond will be mixed with fill material and used on -site within Block 11 for residential construction activities. Following completion of the inspection and associated works, new wooden slats will be installed in the weir to allow the pond to gradually refill. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are temporary in nature and will not result in a new structure being erected. The storage and conveyance of flood waters is not expected to be impacted by the proposal. Pollution: Comprehensive sediment and erosion control measures will be erected around the work site to ensure sediment does not enter the pond or downstream watercourse. Furthermore, drawdown of the pond will be conducted in such a manner as to minimize turbidity in the pond waters and sedimentation of the watercourse. 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. TRCA technical staff is satisfied that issues associated with the nature of the in -water works can be addressed through a Letter of Advice, issued on behalf of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). 80 Plantings Plantings are not required as part of the proposed works. However, a comprehensive edge management /restoration plan has been submitted for TRCA review and approval for the immediate vicinity and surrounding lands within Planning Block 11. This is a draft plan condition for the associated subdivision, noted earlier in this report.

The purpose is to undertake site grading and alter a watercourse in order to establish the rough grades for the site as well as sediment and erosion controls including associated temporary sediment basins and outfalls. The permit will be issued for the period of March 2, 2007 to March 1, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking, dated February 19, 2007, from Mr. Geof Nicholson, C.E.T., committing to address all comments from TRCA staff with respect to the plans for this permit. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to undertake site grading and alteration of a watercourse in order to establish the rough grades for the site as well as sediment and erosion controls. The works are located within a large residential development known as Angus Glen West Village (File No. 19TM- 030004) which is located on the west side of the Bruce Creek northwest of the intersection of Major MacKenzie Drive and Kennedy Road in the Town of Markham. The works are to take place on table lands adjacent to the Bruce Creek valleylands. The plan of subdivision was draft approved with conditions by the Town of Markham in 2006 and has now moved to the detailed design and construction phase. As the site is partially within the Regulated Area adjacent to the Bruce Creek valleylands, the applicant is required to obtain permission from TRCA prior to any grading taking place. In addition, two temporary sediment control basins are proposed which are to outlet to the Bruce's Creek valleylands. Control of Flooding: No works are proposed within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, therefore the control of flooding is not affected by this proposal. Pollution: Extensive sediment and erosion controls are to be implemented prior to the commencement of site grading. 89 Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no slope stability or erosion concerns with this proposal. Conservation of Land: Areas to be graded are on table lands and are to be buffered from significant environmental areas by sediment and erosion control fencing as shown on drawings which have been submitted with the permit application. Disturbed areas are to be stabilized following grading. Plantings At this stage of the development process no plantings are required, however edge management plantings will be required by TRCA staff as part of subsequent permit applications. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.1.1, New Urban Development, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure on Lot 6 -8, Concession 9, in the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Box Grove Hill Development Inc.. The purpose is to undertake works within a regulated area to facilitate the removal of an existing culvert, the construction of a bridge and associated functional servicing. The permit will be issued for the period of March 2, 2007 to March 1, 2009. • Letter of undertaking provided by Sarah Kurtz, P.Eng, of Stantec, dated February 26, 2007 to address all outstanding engineering and ecology issues. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 90 Proposal: This proposal involves the removal of an existing culvert (farm crossing), construction of a bridge, and a watermain which crosses a Tributary to the Rouge River (referred to as 'Tributary B') within the Box Grove Community North, in the Town of Markham. The proposed works are necessary to provide for connectivity (at Copper Creek) between the different phases of development for this community. These works will also facilitate the construction of a watermain crossing to service the development. To allow for the proposed watermain to be easily accessible in the event of future failure and routine maintenance the municipality has requested that the infrastructure not be constructed underneath the bridge /culvert. As a result, the servicing will be constructed using the open cut method in the area proposed to be disturbed through the removal of an existing culvert. Although TRCA staff generally discourage using this technique to reduce impacts to the watercourse, considering the existing conditions, the proposed area to be disturbed (area already proposed to be disturbed through the removal of the existing culvert), and the proposed mitigation measures it has been deemed acceptable. In addition, recent permits approved by the TRCA for similar works within this community have allowed for this technique to be used. TRCA technical staff are satisfied that the proposed span and design of this bridge, including the removal of the existing culvert, meets our engineering and ecological objectives, and provides for an ecological net gain through the proposed planting and enhancement plan. The proposed works have been determined not to constitute a Harmful Alteration, Disturbance, or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. As such, a letter of advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be prepared prior to this issuance of this permit. Finally, please note that the Executive Committee is also currently considering a similar proposal to construct another bridge crossing and minor creek realignment (at Bernbridge Road) within this community, immediately south of these works. Control of Flooding: A portion of the works are located with the Regional Storm Floodplain. TRCA technical staff have reviewed the submitted materials and are satisfied that the bridge and culvert are appropriately designed and will not adversely impact 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 Erosion: TRCA technical staff are satisfied that the proposed bridge and culvert have been appropriately designed to eliminate any short /long term erosion hazards (i.e. meander belt, 100 year erosion limit). As such, there are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns with this proposal. 91 Conservation of Land: To mitigate for the construction of the bridge crossing and the removal of the existing culvert, a planting and enhancement plan has been submitted. The proposed mitigation plans have been determined to provide for an 'ecological net gain' by improving the form and functions of the system in this area. Additionally, the proposed works have been determined not to constitute a HADD of fish habitat. As such, a letter of advice on behalf of DFO will be prepared prior to this issuance of this permit. Plantings All proposed plant materials will be native and non - invasive species. In addition, all landscaping works will be consistent with the TRCA's post construction restoration guidelines.

CFN: 38395 - Application #: 670 /06 /MARK Report Prepared by: Chris Barber, extension 5715 For information contact: Laura James, extension 5723 Date: February 27, 2007 RES. #B13/07 - STREAM GAUGE NETWORK Request for Proposal for Monitoring and Maintenance. Approval to retain 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. Moved by: Seconded by: David Barrow Ron Moeser THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) enter into an agreement with Ontario Hydrometric Services Limited for a period of one year to construct, maintain, monitor and archive stream flow data at 21 existing stream gauges as part of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) Regional Monitoring Network Program at a cost not to exceed $125,400 plus applicable taxes; 108 AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized and directed to take necessary action to implement the agreement, including signing of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND TRCA, with the support of our member municipalities, has developed and implemented a regional monitoring network within TRCA's area of 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 the individual watershed and waterfront councils and alliances, while furthering the interests of municipal, provincial and federal partners. The regional monitoring program includes aquatic habitat and species, fluvial geomorphology, terrestrial natural heritage (flora and fauna), surface water quality, surface water quantity (flow and precipitation), groundwater and air quality. The surface water quantity component, which includes precipitation and stream flow data is critical to TRCA's flood forecasting and warning program and is also used by municipalities and consultants for stormwater management planning, municipal infrastructure design and watershed modeling. The focus of this assignment is to retain a consultant for one year to maintain, monitor and archive stream flow data for TRCA's entire stream gauge network and to construct and install new gauges as needed. TRCA currently has 21 existing gauges and four new gauges that are planned for 2007. In addition to data management, this project also involves the maintenance, monitoring, data acquisition and processing, as well as continued development of stage /discharge relationships, for all TRCA stream gauges. RATIONALE Four consulting groups were invited to submit proposals for the project based upon the terms of reference for the work. The criteria included the requirement to have previous experience in the area of stream gauge monitoring, maintenance and the familiarity of state -of- the -art approaches. Only two consultants, as listed below responded: Proponent Bid Price (excluding taxes) Ontario Hydrometric Services Limited $113,110 Calder Engineering $58,716 Proposals and presentation from both companies were reviewed in detail and evaluated by five TRCA staff involved with water quantity monitoring. All TRCA staff involved unanimously agreed that Ontario Hydrometric Services (OHS) Limited should be awarded the contract for the following reasons: • Qualifications and Experience: OHS Limited has monitored and maintained over a hundred stream gauges throughout Ontario including TRCA's stream gauge network for the past ten years. TRCA staff is concerned that existing stage /discharge curves would be compromised if a less experienced consultant was retained. Calder Engineering has less experience in installing, monitoring and developing stage /discharge relationships in natural open channel watercourses. Most of Calder Engineering experience is based on sanitary and storm sewer monitoring and mining industry discharge. • References: OHS Limited had excellent references from municipalities and other conservation authorities. 109 • Familiarity with Existing Dataloggers: OHS is familiar with the set -up, downloading and Serial Data Interface (SDI) sensor programming of the Sutron 9210 datalogger which TRCA is using. Calder Engineering was not familiar with Sutron equipment. • Presentation: OHS Limited clearly demonstrated how stream gauges are monitored and maintained and clearly demonstrated the quality assurance /quality control process for correcting raw field data for sensor drift. Calder Engineering did not clearly explain how they correct data when sensor drift occurs. • Project Work Plan: OHS Limited conducts all field work and data processing. Calder Engineering uses a sub - contractor for data collection. TRCA staff has concerns about sub - contracting field work. Irregularities in field work could negatively effect the TRCA's existing stage /discharge curves. Staff is confident that the chosen consultant will conduct the required tasks to TRCA's required quality standards in a timely and cost effective manner. Funds required to complete this project are available within the approved 2007 Regional Watershed Monitoring Network and Flood Forecasting and Warning Program budget accounts 124 -20 and 122 -46. A maximum upset limit of $125,400 plus of applicable taxes has been set for this project.

RECOMMENDATION THAT the contract for the manufacturing and installation of wetland signs at the Kortright Centre for Conservation be awarded to Fontasy Sign and Display Inc., for a cost not to exceed $16,500.00, plus applicable taxes. BACKGROUND Kortright Centre entered into a partnership with Ducks Unlimited Canada called "Healthy Wetlands, Healthy Communities" in 2006 to improve the wetland interpretation opportunities on Kortright's property. The new wetland signs are the final component of that partnership. Kortright hired Robert Van Noot to design the 12 colour signs. RATIONALE In November 2006, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) requested quotes to manufacture and install 12 vandal proof colour signs 24" x 36" with a minimum 10 year warranty. TRCA received the following three quotes. SIGNS AND INSTALLATION COMPANY QUOTE Fontasy Signs and Displays 16,500.00 Folia 21,376.00 Bullseye Marketing 15,252.00 Staff is recommending to go with the middle bid, Fontasy Signs and Displays. Fontasy has a solid reputation in the industry and has previously delivered exceptional work at Kortright. The manufacturing of their signs consists of a fiberglass imbedded print process that meets the requested 10 year minimum warranty. Bullseye being an American company has just entered the Canadian sign market and has no clients that have used their sign technology that we can use as a reference. The requested 10 year minimum warranty and the required March 30,2007 installation date could not be guaranteed by the lowest bidder. 112 FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds are available from Ducks Unlimited under the Kortright Centre for Conservation Wetlands Interpretive Project and Wetland Creation Project budget.

Donation of a parcel of land located on the east side of Brock Road, south of the Uxbridge- Pickering Townline, City of Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham, under the " Greenlands Acquisition Project For 2006 - 2010 ", Floodplain and Conservation Component, Duffins Creek watershed. Moved by: Seconded by: Suzan Hall Paul Ainslie THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) accept the donation from Vernon and Rita Purcell of 20.04 hectares (49.52 acres) more or less, consisting of an irregular shaped parcel of vacant ecologically sensitive land, said land being Part of Lots 15, 16 and 17, Concession 9, City of Pickering, in the Regional Municipality of Durham, further being described as being Parts 3 and 9 on Plan 40R- 24662, situated on the east side of Brock Road, south of the Uxbridge- Pickering Townline; THAT the acquisition of the donation is to be on the following basis; (a) income tax receipt is to be issued in the amount of $495,200 in accordance with the guidelines set out by Canada Customs and Revenue Agency; (b) Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is responsible for appraisal, environmental and reasonable legal fees; THAT TRCA extend their appreciation and thanks to Vernon and Rita Purcell for their generous donation; THAT TRCA receive conveyance of the land free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements; THAT the firm 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. 118 TRCA staff has had ongoing discussions with Vernon Purcell relating to the 123.47 acres of property under their ownership in north Pickering which is bounded to the south by the Canadian Pacific railway line and Brock Road to the west. As a result of our ongoing discussions, Mr. Purcell is proposing to donate to TRCA 49.52 acres of their land holdings. This area consists of the southerly portion of the property. The remaining 73.95 acres will be retained by Mr. and Mrs. Purcell for rural residential use. 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 the Uxbridge- Pickering Townline within the City of Pickering. The Purcell property contains spectacular Oak Ridges Moraine topography and is a candidate Environmentally Significant Area (ESA) site. The property is designated as Natural Core Area and Countryside Area under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. It is located in the headwaters of the Duffins Creek and is transversed by three small watercourses. The partial taking of this property will result in significant environmentally sensitive lands being conveyed to TRCA as protected greenspace and will provide long -term protection to the sensitive valley lands and to the forested lands and will also help enhance the protection of the resource features provided by the TRCA holdings in this area. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Certification and approval of appraisal is to be obtained from Environment Canada in compliance with the Ecological Gifts Program. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE It is estimated that the annual 2007 realty tax for the portion of land to be conveyed to TRCA will be approximately $5,000. 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 subject lands would be eligible for exemption for the 2008 taxation year. TRCA maintains lands in this vicinity and it is expected that the subject parcel of land will not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs because these types of lands require a low degree of maintenance. FINANCIAL DETAILS All expenditures for this acquisition including appraisal, environmental and legal fees are to be charged to the TRCA land acquisition capital account.

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 the 1.99 hectares (4.92 acres) Boyer property. This parcel of land is improved with a small, unserviced seasonal frame cabin. Negotiations have been conducted with the property owners real estate Broker, Mr. Roger Irwin of Royal Lepage RCR Realty, and as a result TRCA has entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale for the Boyer property which is conditional on funding and necessary approvals. Attached is a sketch showing the location of the subject lands. 124 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. The property is adjacent to the 468 acre Glen Haffy Conservation Area. The entire property is designated as "Escarpment Protection Area" under the Niagara Escarpment Plan, with 98% of the property containing Peel Core Greenlands and approximately 60% of the property zoned Environmentally Significant Area (ESA) by TRCA and Peel Region (ESA #42 - OLaughlin Area). It is located in the headwaters of the Humber River and the property contains springs which feed into the rearing ponds in the Glen Haffy fish hatchery. The acquisition of this parcel will compliment TRCA's holdings in the Glen Haffy area and will help enhance the protection of resource features provided by TRCA holdings in this area. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Annual realty taxes paid in 2006 for the subject property were approximately $2,500.00. 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 subject lands would be eligible for exemption for the 2008 taxation year. The subject lands will be added to the existing Glen Haffy Conservation Area and as such will not significantly impact their maintenance costs. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for this acquisition may include the following sources: The Region of Peel Greenlands Securement Project and the City of Toronto's Land Acquisition for Source Water Protection Reserve or Land Sale Revenue. All expenditures for this acquisition including appraisal, survey, environmental and legal fees are to be charged to account 004 -11.

Receipt of a request from the Regional Municipality of Durham for conveyance of land for the relocation and upgrading of the Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station, on the north side of Rodd Avenue, east of Rosebank Road in the City of Pickering. Moved by: Seconded by: Suzan Hall Paul Ainslie THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of a request from the Regional Municipality of Durham to convey certain lands for the relocation and upgrading of the Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station, on the north side of Rodd Avenue, east of Rosebank Road in the City of Pickering; AND 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 Regional Municipality of Durham in this instance; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT a parcel of TRCA -owned land containing 0.13 hectares (0.32 acres), more or less, required for the relocation and upgrading of the Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station, said land being Part of Lot 30, Range 2, Broken Front Concession, City of Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham, designated as Part 1 on Plan 40R -6062, be conveyed to the Regional Municipality of Durham ; THAT consideration be the nominal sum of $2.00, plus all legal, survey and other costs to be paid by the Regional Municipality of Durham; THAT the Regional Municipality of Durham demolish the existing Rosebank Pumping Station building, decommission the site as required under Ontario Ministry of the Environment regulations, and the property be revegetated /rehabilitated to the satisfaction of TRCA staff, with all costs for this work paid by the Regional Municipality of Durham; THAT the former, restored Rosebank Pumping Station property be transferred to TRCA ownership for nominal consideration; THAT all TRCA lands disturbed by the construction of the new Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station, if applicable, be revegetated /rehabilitated to the satisfaction of TRCA staff; THAT an archaeological investigation be completed, with any mitigative measures being carried out to the satisfaction of TRCA staff, at the expense of the Regional Municipality of Durham; 136 THAT the Regional Municipality of Durham 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; 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 Aileen Phelps -Rodd on December 23, 1980 under the Lake Ontario Waterfront Acquisition Project - Pickering /Ajax Sector. The Regional Municipality of Durham 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 relocation and upgrading of the Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station be conveyed for the nominal consideration of $2.00. A plan illustrating the fee simple conveyance location is attached. The project is presently being reviewed by TRCA staff under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process. Due to rapidly increasing sewage flows in the vicinity, upgrading of the present Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping System will provide much needed additional sanitary sewage pumping capacity within the Rosebank Neighbourhood. As part of the sale of TRCA -owned land for the new sewage pumping station, the Regional Municipality of Durham has agreed to demolish the old pumping station building, decommission the site, revegetate /rehabilitate the entire disturbed area, and transfer this parcel of land to TRCA ownership. Plantings: The entire former pumping station site will be planted with native herbaceous and woody plant material. Additional native trees and shrubs will be planted around the new Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station. FINANCIAL DETAILS The Regional Municipality of Durham has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing this transaction.

CARRIED RES. #B25 /07 - YORK- PEEL - DURHAM- TORONTO GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT PROJECT Sole Source Contract Award. Sole Source Contract Award to Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority for the York -Peel- Durham - Toronto (YPDT) Groundwater Management project Moved by: Seconded by: Suzan Hall Paul Ainslie WHEREAS Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) has provided project management services for the York -Peel- Durham - Toronto (YPDT) Groundwater Management project to the satisfaction of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and our municipal funding partners since 2001; THEREFORE THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT a three year agreement with CLOCA to provide ongoing project management services to the partner agencies be approved at a cost not to exceed $200,000, plus applicable taxes, per calendar year, THAT this agreement be on terms and conditions satisfactory to TRCA staff and solicitors; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 2001, the Regions of York, Peel and Durham, together with the City of Toronto, formed a partnership with the nine conservation authorities with lands on the Oak Ridges Moraine to develop and undertake a joint groundwater management program called York -Peel- Durham - Toronto - Conservation Authorities Moraine Coalition (YPDT - CAMC). 139 A project manager, Steve Holysh, was retained at the beginning of the project by Central Lake Ontario Conservation (CLOCA) on behalf of the program partners. In addition, a management team consisting of staff members from the Regions of York, Peel and Durham, Credit Valley Conservation Authority (CVC), Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA), TRCA, CLOCA, Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority (LTRCA), Kawartha Region Conservation Authority (KRCA), Otonabee Region Conservation Authority (ORCA) and Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (GRCA) was brought together to oversee the technical work. Project initiatives that are tied more closely to the interests of the four municipal partners are part of the YPDT study and are approved through TRCA, while projects tied more closely to the overall moraine study are approved through CLOCA. RATIONALE The YPDT -CAMC groundwater initiative continues to contribute insightful, practical deliverables to the partner agencies. The key focus areas of the groundwater program continue to be data management, geological understanding, numerical groundwater modelling and policy development. A large part of the success of the initiative has been the delivery of data and tools at a practical level to partner agency staff and their consultants who are charged with understanding the groundwater system for a variety of day -to -day issues, including water supply impact assessments and wellhead protection area delineation. Projects undertaken by the YPDT technical team and consultants to date include verification of water well locations, drilling of strategic boreholes, geophysics (seismic and downhole), data model construction and geologic and groundwater flow modelling. This work has been paid for by annual contributions by the municipal partners, supplemented by about $1.4 million of funding by the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM) and $531,000 from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE). In 2006, Dr. Rick Gerber was hired by CLOCA to assist Mr. Holysh with project management and technical review of the work completed by the YPDT -CAMC partnership. Mr. Holysh's and a portion of Dr. Gerber's salary, benefits, and travel /office costs are paid by TRCA out of the funds contributed by the municipal partners. For the next three years, these costs are budgeted to be $175,000 per calendar year. FINANCIAL DETAILS The $200,000 for the first year of this agreement are in the budget for the YPDT study, account #115 -90. Future amounts for the second and third years of this agreement will be covered through annual municipal contributions to the program. CLOCA has provided Mr. Holysh's services without markup since 2001, and this arrangement will continue through the period of this contract for both Steve Holysh and Rick Gerber. Report prepared by: Donald Ford, extension 5369 For Information contact: Donald Ford, extension 5369 Date: March 23, 2007 140 RES. #B26/07 - KERROWOOD DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED AND CITY OF VAUGHAN Ontario Municipal Board Hearing. Authorization for party status before the Ontario Municipal Board on referrals related to applications for an official plan amendment, draft plan of subdivision application and zoning amendment to permit the development of 45 single detached residences on the subject property. Moved by: Seconded by: Suzan Hall Paul Ainslie 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 a proposed amendment to the Official Plan and Zoning By -Law for the City of Vaughan and the draft plan of subdivision for Kerrowood Developments Limited that is not in conformity with the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program and with the Natural Heritage policies of the Provincial Policy Statement; THAT staff be authorized to retain legal counsel to pursue this appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board; AND FURTHER THAT the Ontario Municipal Board and all parties and participants to the hearing be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject property is approximately 9.0 hectares (22.2 acres) in size and is located on the west side of Highway #27 and north of Nashville Road, in the Village of Kleinburg, City of Vaughan. The subject property is municipally known as 10740 Highway #27 and is legally described as Part of Lots 24 and 25, Concession 8. Buildings located on the subject site include an existing dwelling and a number of farm buildings. The site is irregularly shaped and characterized by mixed topography. A valley corridor associated with the west branch of the Humber River is located on the west side of the property and is vegetated primarily on the northwest side of the site. The surrounding lands include an existing dwelling owned by the applicant, bounding the lands to the north. To the east is Highway #27, and rural residential subdivisions. A small tributary of the Humber River is located immediately east of the property. Nashville Road and the new Cornerstone Community Church are located to the south. Planning Applications There are three Planning Act applications pertaining to the subject lands. The first is to amend the Official Plan for the City of Vaughan to allow for the re- designation of the lands from 'Suburban Residential' and 'Valley Area' to 'Serviced Residential' and 'Valley Area', which in turn will permit the proposed development of a residential subdivision on full municipal services. The applicant also proposes to amend the City of Vaughan's Zoning By -law (By -law 1 -88) from 'A - Agricultural Zone' and 'OS1 - Open Space Zone' to 'R1 - Residential Zone' and 'OS1 - Open Space Zone'. Lastly, the proponent has submitted an application for a Draft Plan of Subdivision proposing 45 single family residential lots. 141 The application for an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) has been appealed to the OMB by the proponent for the Regional Municipality of York's failure to announce a decision with respect to proposed Official Plan Amendment No. 614. Further, the associated draft plan has been appealed to the OMB by the proponent for the City of Vaughan's failure to render a decision 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 City of Vaughan and the Regional Municipality of York in the 1980s. While preliminary work was conducted on these applications including a physical top of bank staking, which was conducted by TRCA staff in 1989, the applications went inactive and remained dormant until late 2003. In early 2004, TRCA staff requested an additional site walk of the subject site given the period of time that had elapsed since the initial staking approximately 15 years ago. A new natural features line was identified and delineated on May 31, 2004 which not only took into account the physical top of bank, but also significant vegetation located on the tableland portion of the subject lands. TRCA staff has forwarded written comments on the applications to the City of Vaughan's Planning Department and to the applicant on several occasions (April 7, 2004, June 1, 2004, December 6, 2004, April 5, 2005, August 15, 2005, December 5, 2005, January 17, 2006 and October 16, 2006). These comments were provided upon the completion of the review of technical documents and re- submissions. This included the review of a Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP), which was submitted in accordance with the requirements of the Kleinburg- Nashville Community Plan (City of Vaughan OPA #601). TRCA Issues From our review of the applicant's technical submissions, three major areas of concern have been identified. The first issue pertains to the final limits of development and the extent of the natural features line. As previously noted, an initial top of bank line was identified in 1989 which has since been replaced by a natural features line (2004) that includes the physical top of bank line and significant vegetation associated with this valley corridor. As part of our discussions with the applicant, TRCA staff has agreed in principal to the removal of a small tableland woodlot (0.15 ha) located in the northwest corner of the property. This 'plantation- style' area has been deemed by the applicant's consultant to have low ecological function due to its disturbed character (located adjacent to a defunct tennis court) and woodlot edge conditions. To deal with the lost function of this woodlot area, TRCA staff requested that a restoration area equal or greater in size be provided along the valley edge in addition to the requisite buffer. This restoration area is beneficial in that it will provide a continuous naturalized edge along the valley limits and extend the limits of the vegetation further south in areas where the slope is devoid of significant vegetation. In order to assess the merits of this proposal, specific technical requirements and information have been requested from the applicant which remain outstanding. 142 The second TRCA issue relates to details on the proposed stormwater management block. The applicant proposes to construct the 0.32 hectare pond on the southeast side of the property. Flows from this facility will discharge to a tributary of the Humber River in the southeast. Technical details on the stormwater pond have been submitted by the applicant, however, minor details pertaining to the calculations and best management practices for this facility remain outstanding. This information has been previously requested by TRCA staff. The third area of TRCA concern deals with the hydrogeological function of the site. Information on a detailed water balance and specific measures to promote infiltration on the site have been requested and remains outstanding. RATIONALE An initial OMB pre- hearing was held on March 23, 2007. Upon discussions with City of Vaughan planning staff, it is the understanding of TRCA that a decision has not been made on the zoning amendment and draft plan applications as information remains outstanding on the proposed development. It is noted that the city has expressed concerns over the proposed development including issues pertaining to the requirements of the Kleinburg- Nashville Community Plan (i.e., noise attenuation berm along Highway #27), density, traffic and heritage /archaeology. TRCA staff has been in consultations with staff from the Regional Municipality of York. The region has not approved, in part, the associated OPA #614 as TRCA staff previously requested deferral of this approval given the outstanding concerns over the final limit of development. In addition, the region has issues pertaining to servicing including water supply and sewage servicing capacity and associated Environmental Assessments for the area. While TRCA staff has expressed three areas of concern relating to the proposed development, it is noted that these issues form part of an overall package of concerns from the city and the Region of York. At this time, the proposed applications have not been amended or revised to address the issues contained in our most recent correspondence of October 16, 2006. The proposal as it stands does not reflect our concerns pertaining to the final limits of development nor is it in conformance with TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program and Provincial Policy Statement. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE On March 23, 2007, an initial OMB pre- hearing was held to identify relevant parties /participants and issues pertaining to the proposed development. At this pre- hearing, TRCA staff conveyed the above -noted concerns and was granted party status for the upcoming OMB hearing. In order to reduce the number of issues, the OMB has ordered that a summit hearing be convened with all parties /participants in the hopes of reducing and /or eliminating the number of issues. This meeting is to be scheduled for the week of May 14, 2007. An additional pre- hearing is scheduled for June 29, 2007, at which time a formal hearing date will be set, if necessary. 143 Staff is requesting the authorization of the Authority 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. The applicant has recently submitted a revised plan along with technical documents that attempt to address the above -noted TRCA issues. This submission has been circulated to TRCA technical staff for review. It is noted that TRCA staff will continue to work with the applicant and our municipal and regional partners to come to a satisfactory resolution on these applications.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to alter a watercourse in order to establish a transport truck storage facility. The site is located at the southeast corner of Major Mackenzie Drive and York Regional Road 50 and is traversed by the upper reach of a headwater tributary to the Rainbow Creek. This tributary currently bisects the site diagonally which prevents the rational development of the site. TRCA and Department of Fisheries and Ocean's Canada staff have worked with the applicant to arrive at a solution whereby the tributary is realigned to a location which is parallel to Regional Road 50. The realigned tributary is to be within a vegetated corridor along the western side of the site. From the point where the tributary enters the site at the north it is to have slight meander and finally exit the site to an existing swale running south of the site. During the course of staff's review, the applicant began to undertake site grading in the absence of a permit and in violation of Ontario Regulation 166/06. The work was halted at the request of TRCA Enforcement staff. It is staff's opinion that this application and the drawings associated with it will satisfactorily resolve the previous violation and provide for an adequate treatment of the headwater tributary while permitting the site to be developed as proposed. Control of Flooding: The realigned watercourse has been designed to adequately convey flood flows. Due to the position of the tributary at the upper reaches of the headwaters of the Humber River, no estimated or engineered flood plain mapping has been undertaken for the watercourse. Pollution: A sediment and erosion control plan has been prepared as part of this permit application which is to be implemented during site grading and construction. The location of the realigned tributary is to be isolated by silt fencing. 161 Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no slope stability or geotechnical concerns with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: This permit application proposes to maintain the watercourse in a realigned location that allows the site to be developed in a rational manner. As opposed to the piping of this headwater tributary, the tributary is to be maintained in an open state within a landscaped corridor with a slight meander. An Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Ocean's Canada is required for the realignment of the watercourse. This Authorization has not been issued by the department to date. TRCA staff will not issue the permit until the Authorization has been provided. There are no natural heritage features where the works are proposed to take place. A planting plan has been prepared as part of the application. Plantings Plantings of native species of trees and shrubs are to be planted along the watercourse along with a native seed mix as ground cover. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with the following portions of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program: Section 3.3.2 C), Policies and Procedures for Identifying Watercourses and Alterations, and the special provisions of Note #1 to the section. Note #1 applies in that the works will allow for the efficient utilization of land and are deemed to be appropriate for effective land and water management.

These revisions will bring the subject lands entirely within the SPA boundaries. 176 Previously, the Executive Committee approved a permit application (under Ontario Regulation 158) for the construction of 2 residential dwellings on the subject property. However, the applicant did not pursue the final issuance of the permit due to projected major changes to the plans (purchase of adjacent property to the north). Subsequently, the landowner has submitted a new proposal for the subject lands which includes the development of 2 residential and 6 semi - detached dwellings. Through the review of the draft plan of subdivision associated with this development, TRCA staff determined that the proposed revisions to the plan do not create an unacceptable increase to the risks to life and /or property. In this regard, the proposal satisfies TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program Policy (VSCMP) technical requirements for development permitted within an SPA, and the residences are appropriately floodproofed and can withstand the flows and velocities of the Regional Storm. Control of Flooding: Authority staff have confirmed that the Regional Storm flood plain elevation on this property is 174.75 metres above sea level. The openings below the finished first floor will be floodproofed to the Regional Storm flood plain elevation. The structures are located entirely within the SPA limits. The existing grades along the property lines will be maintained with only minor regrading within the flood plain for lot grading purposes. 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 project. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. However, a restoration plan is proposed for the top of bank area to provide net ecological gain to the valley and stream corridor through the approval of this application. There are no fisheries concerns related to this proposal. Plantings All plant species proposed in association with the above - referenced Landscape Plan are native and non - invasive consistent with TRCA's guidelines. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with the Authority's Valley & Stream Corridor Management Program, Section 4.2.1 - Development and Redevelopment /Intensification Within Established Communities /Highly Urbanized Areas.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal involves the construction of a 909.92 square metre two storey dwelling with an attached four car garage, as well as a pool, pond, and private septic system. Access to the property is from Keewaydin Drive. The TRCA's interests for the proposed works were addressed through our review of Site Plan Development Application SPD -07 -01 submitted under the Planning Act. Under the Township of King's Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) Conformity By -law, Site Plan Approval is required if development is proposed within an ORM Feature Protection Zone or an Environmental Protection Zone and its corresponding 120 metre area of influence. The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed development will not adversely affect the ecological integrity of the ORM plan area. In this instance, development is proposed within the ORM Feature Protection Zone. TRCA staff have reviewed the Oak Ridges Moraine Conformity Report (ORMCP). The residential lot has had some level of previous disturbance and further disturbance is proposed related to grading and landscaping. The TRCA does not have significant concern regarding the site disturbance because the disturbance is taking place within the small buffer portion of the site, as indicated on the site grading and septic system design drawing SP -1. The TRCA has an interest in conserving, protecting, and enhancing the natural features of the Oak Ridges Moraine. TRCA staff are satisfied with the proposed location of the two storey dwelling with attached four car garage, as well as a pool, pond, and private septic system and TRCA staff do not anticipate negative impact to the ORMCP area. However given that municipalities are the designated approval authority under the Oak Ridges Moraine Act, the Township has the responsibility to ensure any planning applications required for the proposed development conform to the provisions of the ORMCP. Control of Flooding: The development will not be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. As such, there will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. 186 Pollution: Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained during construction to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent valley system. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the development. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the 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 works will not affect any significant natural features. All disturbed areas will be restored to existing conditions upon completion of the project.

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 and alter a watercourse on Lot 14, Concession 7, (10766 Goreway Drive), in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Ridgecore Developers Inc. The purpose is to permit works within a regulated area to facilitate the construction of a bridge crossing and temporary diversion channel. The permit will be issued for the period of April 13, 2007 to April 12, 2009. • Letter of undertaking provided by Sandra Garcia of Urbantech, dated April 5, 2007, to address all outstanding engineering and ecology related items. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of this application is to permit works within a regulated area to facilitate the construction of a bridge and temporary diversion channel north of Castlemore Road, and west of Goreway Drive, in the City of Brampton. These works are associated with a plan of subdivision located within the Vales of Castlemore East plan area. The works proposed with this application are the first phase of a multiple phased approach to complete the residential development, as well as to construct a bridge and partially realign the watercourse traversing the eastern portion of the property. The proposed design of the bridge is such that TRCA technical staff are satisfied that no adverse impacts to the natural heritage system and /or hazardlands (i.e. floodplain, slope stability and long term erosion limit) will result. In addition, the proposed realignment of the watercourse is consistent with the design of the downstream portion of the feature and will provide for an ecological net gain in terms of improved ecological 192 form and functions. The works to realign the downstream portion of the watercourse were previously approved by the Executive Committee through previous stages of development for this area (TRCA permit C- 03267). Additionally, the Executive Committee recently approved a permit (TRCA permit C- 06357) to allow for tableland grading in preparation for preservicing and ultimate grading works on this site. As previously stated, this application is for the first phase of the works which includes the construction of a bridge and a temporary diversion channel. This permit will allow the applicant to begin a portion of the works necessary to complete the ultimate grading and channel works, thus expediting the implementation and final registration of this plan. Although the bridge and temporary diversion channel will be constructed with this phase of construction, the flows from the existing watercourse will not be diverted until the phase II permit has been issued. In this regard, the ultimate channel design (phase II works) which is to be considered by the Executive Committee at a future meeting, will provide for improved channel form and functions, and will require authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The works associated with this permit do not propose to alter the existing watercourse and do not constitute a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat, thus authorization from DFO is not required at this time. However, a letter of advice on behalf of DFO will be issued prior to the release of this permit. Control of Flooding: A portion of the works are located with the Regional Storm Floodplain. TRCA technical staff have reviewed the submitted materials and are satisfied that the works will not adversely impact 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 Erosion: TRCA technical staff are satisfied that the proposed bridge has been appropriately designed to eliminate any short /long term erosion and /or slope instability hazards (i.e. meander belt, 100 year erosion limit). In addition, there are no concerns related to the proposed design of the temporary diversion channel. As such, no outstanding geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns remain with this proposal. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of the proposed works. However, a landscape restoration plan has been submitted which appropriately remediates the areas proposed to be disturbed. Please note that an integral component of the ultimate channel works (phase II works), which will be considered by the Executive Committee at a future meeting, will be a comprehensive landscape restoration plan to improve the form and functions of this system. Finally, the works associated with this phase of development have been determined not to constitute a HADD of fish habitat. As such, a letter of advice on behalf of DFO will be prepared prior to this issuance of this permit. 193 Plantings All proposed plant materials will be native and non - invasive species. In addition, all landscaping works will be consistent with the TRCA's post construction restoration guidelines.

CFN: 38905 - Application #: 102/07/TOR Report Prepared by: Mark Rapus, extension 5259 For information contact: Mark Rapus, extension 5259 Date: April 3, 2007 198 CITY OF TORONTO (SCARBOROUGH COMMUNITY COUNCIL AREA) 8.1.37 CITY OF TORONTO To construct a structure, permanently place and remove material and alter a watercourse on Morningside Avenue, north of Old Finch Road, in the City of Toronto (Scarborough Community Council Area), Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by City of Toronto. The purpose is to widen and realign Morningside Avenue, including the construction of a grade separation and rail bridge, and construct a new stormwater outlet system to manage drainage and dewatering flows. The permit will be issued for the period of April 13, 2007 to April 12, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking to provide minor revisions to address TRCA comments on the draft erosion potential assessment report and adaptive environmental management plan, all to the satisfaction of TRCA; prepared by the City of Toronto; dated April 10, 2007; received by TRCA April 11, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: Project Background Morningside Avenue is a 4 -lane urban arterial road which runs generally in a north -south direction. To the north of Old Finch Avenue, it narrows to 2 lanes, then passes under the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) Belleville Subdivision, and curves tightly to the west prior to crossing the CPR cross - connection at- grade. The road then becomes Finch Avenue, which widens to a 4 -lane urban arterial road on its approach to Neilson Road, and runs in an east -west direction. The existing conditions in this area present a number of safety and operational concerns, including: • The 6.1 metre width of the existing grade separation allows 2 cars to pass, however this is well below the standard width of 11.5 metres. • The 3.7 metre height of the existing grade separation restricts the passage of large vehicles, including TTC buses. • The existing CPR structure is in poor physical condition. • The sharp bend in the road immediately northwest of the grade separation results in the reduced efficiency of traffic, and significant safety concerns. • There are no provisions for pedestrian or cyclist passage. • Both police and fire services have identified a need for improvements in this area. • There is a lack of capacity for increased travel demands. 199 In order to address existing and future traffic safety and operational concerns in this area, the City of Toronto carried out a study for the replacement of the Finch Avenue and Morningside Avenue grade separation and related road improvements in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA). TRCA staff provided comment on the development of the Environmental Study Report (ESR) during the EA process. The final ESR was approved by the Ministry of the Environment in 2002. Proposed Works The proposal consists of the widening of both Finch Avenue and Morningside Avenue, and the construction of a new railway bridge over each road. Finch Avenue will be widened and realigned from Neilson Road to Morningside Avenue. Morningside Avenue will be widened and extended from Finch Avenue to Old Finch Avenue. The realigned roads will connect at Staines Road to create a new intersection. A new CPR bridge will be constructed over Finch Avenue, and the old CPR bridge over Morningside Avenue will be replaced with a new bridge to accommodate the wider road span. The road surface beneath each CPR bridge will need to be lowered below the groundwater table. A portion of the realigned Morningside Avenue will drain to the current Morningside stormwater management pond, however the drainage from the Finch and Morningside grade separations will require the construction of a storm sewer system to direct flows to Morningside Creek. A new treatment system will be constructed at the sewer outlet, which consists of an oil /grit separator, flow dissipation pool, grassed swale, wetland detention pockets and a thermal cooling trench. Drainage will be directed through a temporary swale until the construction of the final treatment system is complete. The construction on Morningside Avenue and the associated stormwater management improvements are located within TRCA's Regulation Limits, and will be covered under this permit. The construction on Finch Avenue is not within the Regulation Limits and will therefore not be approved under this permit. The potential impacts associated with the construction and operation of both grade separations and associated facilities have been reviewed by TRCA as part of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the project. Construction and Post - construction Impacts The roads under the CPR bridges must be constructed below the existing water table. Consequently, temporary dewatering will be required during construction, and once construction is complete, permanent dewatering at a substantially reduced rate will be required to maintain the grade separations. Both the construction and post- construction dewatering and discharge have the potential to negatively impact the natural environment. In consideration for this, the City of Toronto has developed an EMP to assess, monitor and mitigate impacts to the environment. 200 Dewatering will be required to facilitate the construction of the grade separations at the CPR bridges at a maximum rate of 44 litres per second (L /s) for each site, and will be directed to the Morningside stormwater management pond. The construction at Finch Avenue will proceed from spring to autumn 2007, with the construction at Morningside following from spring to autumn 2008. The construction of the two sites has been phased to avoid overlap to minimize the maximum dewatering rate (i.e. if the construction were to proceed concurrently, the maximum dewatering rate would have been doubled to 88 L/s). Since the roads must be constructed below the water table, subdrains will be installed at the sites to permanently direct groundwater through the storm sewer and into Morningside Creek. The maximum expected permanent dewatering rate is 1.33 L/s at Finch Avenue, and 0.93 L/s at Morningside Avenue, for a total maximum rate of 2.26 L/s. This flow will be directed through the storm sewer to the treatment swale and constructed wetland. The discharge will be directed through a temporary swale until the construction of the final treatment system is complete. The primary areas of concern regarding potential environmental impacts include: • Dewatering impacts (potential reduction in baseflow, potential change to natural groundwater discharge regime) • Discharge Impacts (potential water quality issues associated with increased volume and point source groundwater input, potential for channel erosion at the dewatering outfall and downstream) An assessment of existing conditions has shown that dewatering of shallow groundwater may potentially reduce the amount of natural groundwater to Morningside Creek, specifically through Redside Creek and downgradient of Morningview Trail. Although a slight connection between the groundwater and the creek was detected, the natural groundwater loss is not expected to be significant. The extracted groundwater that may have discharged into Morningside Creek naturally will instead be temporarily redirected to the creek through the stormwater management pond. Therefore the dewatering is not anticipated to result in a net loss of groundwater discharge into Morningside Creek downstream of the site. This assessment has been completed based on the maximum temporary dewatering rate of 44 L /s. The permanent rate of 2.26 L/s would have significantly less risk of impact. Discharge effects assessments were completed to determine potential impacts to aquatic habitat. The assessments demonstrated that the projected flows will not exceed the expected stream capacity, and that thermal impacts should be minimal, and can be appropriately mitigated. Discharge will be directed to the Morningside stormwater management pond to control sediment and mitigate flow velocity and temperature. An erosion assessment is currently underway to determine the potential long -term impacts on toe and bank erosion from the permanent flow increase of 2.26 L/s. It is expected that the permanent flow increase will not have a significant effect on toe and bank erosion, and will not effect the rate of channel migration. Mitigation measures have been developed to ensure that erosion impacts will be avoided, in the event that effects are detected. 201 Monitoring Plan The Environmental Management Plan includes a comprehensive monitoring plan to record baseline conditions, assess construction impacts, and evaluate post- construction conditions. In the event that negative effects are encountered, appropriate contingency measures are in place to mitigate potential dewatering and discharge impacts. The following parameters will be monitored: • Groundwater levels • Stream levels and flow • Discharge flow • Rainfall • Water temperature • Ground and surface water quality • Vegetation condition • Aquatic habitat condition • Benthic invertebrate community • Erosion effects Mitigation Plan The EMP includes a detailed mitigation plan to avoid impacts to the natural environment from dewatering and discharge activities. The mitigation plan outlines standard mitigation measures protect the environment, including sediment and erosion controls, watercourse protection and restoration. In addition, specific contingency measures are identified to respond to potential impacts based on the concerns noted above. The contingency measures include: Dewatering Effects Mitigation • Redirect the discharge pipe to the Redside Creek storm sewer outfall • Modify the existing storm sewer outfall to allow a connection to Redside Creek • Install a standby deep groundwater extraction well to supplement stream flow Discharge Effects Mitigation • Redirect discharge to the sanitary sewer, downstream, or to the main branch of the Rouge to avoid local erosion effects in Morningside Creek • Supplement groundwater discharge with surface water if groundwater quality issues are detected TRCA staff has reviewed the components of the EMP, and conclude that all significant environmental impacts will be avoided. Any potential effects will be identified through the monitoring plan, and appropriately mitigated through the contingency measures provided. Control of Flooding: No adverse impacts to the storage or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated as a result of this project. Pollution: Appropriate controls will be implemented and maintained throughout construction to prevent sediment or other deleterious substances from entering the watercourse. Site conditions will be assessed during and after construction to ensure that potential impacts are avoided or appropriately mitigated, based on the recommendations outlined in the EMP. 202 Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no significant slope stability or geotechnical concerns with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: Based on the recommendations outlined in the EMP, any impacts to terrestrial or aquatic features will be avoided or appropriately mitigated. Plantings Disturbed areas will be stabilized and restored with appropriate native species. A full restoration plan has been provided for the new treatment swale and constructed wetland. 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 temporarily or permanently place fill and site grade within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed to facilitate the construction of a gravel parking area and berm at 9441 Huntington Road in the City of Vaughan. The proposal involves the construction of a dual culvert outlet to the watercourse. The permit will be issued for the period of April 13, 2007 to April 12, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking indicating that revisions will be made to the Site Grading Plan (Valdor Dwg. 06124 -1) to include additional plantings along the berm and at the outlet to the satisfaction of the TRCA, signed by David Giugovaz, P.Eng. of Valdor Engineering Inc., dated April 11, 2007, received by the TRCA on April 11, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 203 Proposal: The purpose is to temporarily or permanently place fill and site grade within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed to facilitate the construction of a gravel parking area and berm at 9441 Huntington Road in the City of Vaughan. The granular parking area, which is approximately 2.3 hectares in size, was established prior to receipt of a permit application by the TRCA. The applicant subsequently expressed a willingness to work with the TRCA to resolve the matter and hired a consulting firm that submitted an application to our office on his behalf. A tributary of the Humber River traverses the property in a southwest direction and then flows south beyond the western property boundary. The outlet and portions of the berm and parking area are situated within the Regional Storm Flood Plain of that watercourse. TRCA Water Management staff reviewed the proposal and determined that the encroachment into the Regional Storm Flood Plain is minor and will have negligible impact on the storage and conveyance of flood waters, especially given that the applicant proposes to remove the northern limit of the gravel parking area from the flood plain. In addition, best efforts will be implemented to reduce peak flows from the gravel parking area during major storm events. On -site stormwater detention will be provided and the existing control structure will be re- constructed to reflect a dual culvert outlet. Control of Flooding: The proposed encroachment into the Regional Storm Flood Plain is minor. TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed works will have negligible impact on the storage and conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment and erosion controls have been installed and will be maintained during construction to prevent sediment from entering the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed development. Conservation of Land: 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 Plantings of native, non - invasive species will be provided to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. 204 Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures - 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 purpose is to construct and grade within a Regulated Area of the Don River Watershed to facilitate the development of a public garage for the repair of motor vehicles, a parking area and a retaining wall. The subject property is located at 1600 Creditstone Road, within the City of Vaughan, adjacent to a tributary of the Don River. Staff originally became aware of the proposed development through our review of Zoning By -law Amendment Application Z.05.006. During our review of the Zoning By -law Amendment Application, it was initially determined that the Regional Storm Flood Plain encompassed the entire site. A recent update to the flood plain modelling for this reach of the Don River has shown that only the northern portion of the site is located below the Regional Storm Flood Plain elevation. The encroachment of the development into the flood plain is minor and, thus, TRCA Water Management staff have no objection to the development as proposed. Further, through the Zoning By -law Amendment process, an acknowledgement was provided on title that the property is susceptible to flooding. In addition, outdoor storage is prohibited on the site. 205 A retaining wall will be constructed on the subject property (a maximum of 2 feet or 0.6 metres in height). This wall will accommodate a portion of the proposed parking area and entrance to the property, and has been designed to the satisfaction of the TRCA's geotechnical engineer. The retaining wall and associated grading will also restrict the Regional Storm Flood Plain to the northern portion of the site, outside the active use area. There are no other significant natural features on, or adjacent to, the site that may be negatively impacted by the project. Restoration plantings will be provided along the northern and western limits of the property, adjacent to the existing open space lands. Control of Flooding: The proposed encroachment into the Regional Storm Flood Plain is minor. TRCA staff are 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. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: TRCA staff are satisfied that there are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed development, including the proposed retaining wall. Conservation of Land: 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 A planting plan has been prepared to the satisfaction of TRCA Planning Ecology staff. Policy Guidelines: While the proposal is not entirely consistent with Section 4.2 - Existing Development - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, as the development will encroach into the valley corridor and the Regional Storm Flood Plain, the applicant has worked with the TRCA to minimize the disturbance to the corridor, to remove the active use area from the flood plain, and to enhance the area with restoration plantings. On this basis, staff are of the opinion that the proposed works do not affect the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land.

The subject works are located directly east of Highway 50, south of Finnerty Road, within the Palgrave Estates community in the Town of Caledon. TRCA staff have being working with the proponent through the planning process for the proposed subdivision, known as "Sunshine Estates ". TRCA staff have provided conditions of draft approval for phase one of the subdivision, which requires that a TRCA permit be attained for the proposed access to the property off of Highway 50 . A portion of the 211 proposed road access at Highway 50 is located within the Regulatory Floodplain of the Humber River, and must traverse lands that are designated as an Environmentally Significant Area (ESA) by the TRCA, and an Area of Natural or Scientific Interest (ANSI). An additional access road into this subdivision will be provided in the future, through a connection from an adjacent proposed residential subdivision, which will have access off of Mount Hope Road. As the access road that is currently proposed is within the floodplain, an additional emergency access route will be required which provides safe access outside of the floodplain. The proponent has selected the location for the currently proposed access road has been selected based upon minimizing the impact upon the ESA and ANSI that it must traverse. A comprehensive mitigation, compensation and restoration plan will be required as a component of this permit to achieve a net gain for this system, with consideration for the proposed impacts to these features. As the subject property is located on the Oak Ridges Moraine, within and area that has been designated as "Palgrave Estates Residential Community ", significant buffers from Key Natural Heritage Features (KNHF), restoration and enhancement of the natural system, and conveyance of the natural areas into public ownership are proposed through the associated planning process. All proposed lot grading works are located outside of the Regulatory Floodplain, and outside of the KNHF. Control of Flooding: A portion of the proposed road access, and associated grading works are within the Regulatory Floodplain. No permanent adverse impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated within this area.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 213 Proposal: The proposal involves site grading within the Regulated Area and the Regional Storm Floodplain of the Rouge River Watershed to facilitate the completion of rear lot grades within a registered plan of subdivision, which is located south of Elgin Mills Road and east of Bayview Avenue, in the Town of Richmond Hill. The proposed works are to complete the grading works which are required to establish the remaining residential lots abutting the valleylands within the plan area. Previously, the Executive Committee approved a permit to undertake similar works within this subdivision as required through the master plan for this community. The works include minor tableland grading adjacent to the valley to contain the Regional Storm Floodplain within the approved Open Space block, as approved through the Plan of Subdivision. Control of Flooding: The subdivision was originally designed so that the Regional Storm Floodplain would be contained within the Open Space Block. TRCA Water Resources staff has reviewed the proposal and has determined that there will be no impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Silt fencing will be installed and maintained during all phases of construction, surrounding the area of works to impede the overland migration of construction generated sediments. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: The slopes are proposed at a grade of 3:1 with no retaining structures. As such, there are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns associated with this project. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. However, a restoration plan is proposed for all disturbed areas. There are no fisheries concerns related to this proposal. Plantings All plant species will be native and non - invasive consistent with TRCA's guidelines.

To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere and alter a watercourse on Lot 26, Concession 3, in the Town of Richmond Hill, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Riotrin Properties (Richmond Hill) Inc. The purpose is to construct an storm sewer outfall structure, permanently place material associated with an outfall channel and alter a watercourse in order to establish a permanent stormwater management pond. The permit will be issued for the period of April 13, 2007 to April 12, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking by Mr. David A. McKay, BES MCIP RPP, agreeing to revise all plans and documents associated with the permit application to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to construct a storm sewer outfall structure, permanently place material associated with an outfall channel and alter a watercourse in order to establish a permanent stormwater management pond. The proposed stormwater management pond is located adjacent to a tributary of the Rouge River on the north side of Elgin Mills Road East in the area of Richmond Hill known as North Leslie. The proposed pond has been sited on table land with a 20 metre buffer separating the pond from the valley top of bank. The pond is required in order to provide stormwater quantity and quality control for a 16 hectare commercial development known as Riotrin North Leslie. Due to the location of the proposed pond within the headwaters of the Rouge River watershed, TRCA staff have required that the pond design meet or exceed all of the design requirements of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment's Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual. The proposed commercial development will introduce many impervious surfaces associated with parking lots and buildings. In order to mitigate this increased imperviousness on the landscape, TRCA staff have requested that a groundwater infiltration system be included in the development which will direct clean roof water from two large big box commercial stores to an infiltration facility to be constructed underneath the parking area. This facility will assist in the maintenance of groundwater infiltration and will direct some storm water away from the proposed stormwater management pond. TRCA's review and approval of this system will be completed through the associated site plan approval process. In addition, the owner has made a financial contribution to TRCA in order to assist with a future monitoring program to assess the effectiveness of this infiltration system. 215 The direction provided by the Rouge Park North Management Plan has led to the establishment of a 20 metre buffer surrounding the pond and separating it from the established valley system. Plantings of native trees and shrubs are to take place within the buffer area to enhance its effectiveness and enlarge the naturalized portion of the valleylands. The buffers and valleylands are proposed to be dedicated to TRCA. The pond outfall structure and outfall channel are to be located within the valleylands but will not connect directly to the Rouge tributary. The outfall channel is to be vegetated and surrounded with additional plantings in order to provide thermal and water quality benefit for stormwater exiting the outfall structure toward the watercourse. A plunge pool is to be established in order to slow down the velocity of discharged stormwater. The orifice size (i.e. pipe size) of the outfall has been made as small as technically feasible in order to reduce the rate of stormwater introduced to the valleylands to the extent possible. Each of these design measures are necessary in order to mitigate the effects that the stormwater pond will have on the valleylands and watercourse. This is especially of concern in this portion of the Rouge watershed due to the sensitive fishery present. Control of Flooding: The stormwater management pond has been designed to safely convey stormwater flows. Portions of the outfall channel are located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, however this will not have an impact on flood storage or conveyance. Pollution: A sediment and erosion control plan has been incorporated as part of the proposal. Most sediment and erosion controls are in place at this point, as they were previously required as part of the permit for the temporary sediment control basin for the site (Permit No. C- 06313), which was approved by the Executive Committee at its meeting Number 5/06 on July 7, 2006. The proposed pond has met or exceeded all stormwater management pond planning and design criteria. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical or slope stability concerns associated with this proposal. Conservation of Land: As described above, the pond is to be located on table land with a 20 metre buffer separating it from the top of bank. An extensive planting plan forms part of the proposal and includes plantings in the pond, within the buffer areas and surrounding the outfall channel. A letter of advice will be issued by TRCA on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for the proposed works pursuant to the requirements of the Fisheries Act (Canada). Plantings A planting plan has been included as part of this proposal which provides for extensive plantings of native trees and shrubs. 216 Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to excavate and grade to facilitate the construction of additions onto an existing residence, the construction of a retaining wall and the installation of a new septic system at 124 Elmpine Trail in the Township of King. The permit will be issued for the period of April 13, 2007 to April 12, 2009. • Drawing Number SP -1, 124 Elmpine Trail Proposed Rear Addition Garage and 2 Storey Addition, dated March 2007, received by the TRCA on March 29, 2007, redline revised to add the title 'Site Plan', to remove the word 'invasive', to add dimensions to the septic tank and shallow buried trench system, to correct the scale at the rear of the lot, and to make revisions to the Erosion and Sediment Control Strategies. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose is to excavate and grade to facilitate the construction of additions onto an existing residence, the construction of a retaining wall and the installation of a new septic system at 124 Elmpine Trail in the Township of King. The current 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 Regulation), which came into effect May 8, 2006 and replaced Ontario Regulation 158. The northern end of the subject property is traversed by a tributary of the Humber River and is partially located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. The proposed works will not be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, but will occur within the valley corridor of the Humber River and are regulated by the TRCA. 217 The applicant first contacted the TRCA in March 2005. Through our initial visit to the site, we understood that a new septic system was required to facilitate proposed additions onto the existing residence. The existing septic system is located between the current residence and the physical top of bank. The applicant indicated there was insufficient space in this area to accommodate the proposed septic system given its dimensions and the Township's setback requirements. Further, there was insufficient space at the front of the existing residence for the proposed septic system, as the family's well is situated in this location. As such, the applicant proposed to construct the new septic system within the valley corridor, which would require alteration of the valley corridor and the removal of forest vegetation. Over the past two years, the TRCA has worked with the applicant to find an acceptable design to address the TRCA's interests and the development constraints on -site. The applicant proposes to remove fill from the rear of the residence in order to create a walk -out for the proposed additions and a more natural slope configuration, similar to that on the neighbouring property to the west. A retaining wall will be constructed on the subject property (a maximum of 2 feet or 0.6 metres in height), abutting the neighbouring property to the east. This wall will accommodate the proposed walk -out and has been designed to the satisfaction of the TRCA's geotechnical engineer. The tanks and pump for the sewage system are proposed to the rear of the residence, while the shallow buried trenches for the sewage system are proposed further down the valley slope. The shallow buried trenches will be installed by hand between the existing forest vegetation and will have minimal disturbance to the valley topography. Native plantings will be provided on the shallow buried trench system, as well as on the slope and tableland to the rear of the residence. Control of Flooding: The proposed development will not be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. 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 adjacent natural features. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: TRCA staff are satisfied that there are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed development, including the proposed retaining wall. Conservation of Land: As the watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. The applicant has worked with the TRCA to minimize the disturbance to the valley corridor and will provide restoration plantings to address the proposed encroachment into the valley corridor and the previous removal of forest vegetation on the valley slope. Plantings A planting plan has been prepared to the satisfaction of TRCA Planning Ecology staff. 218 Policy Guidelines: While the proposal is not entirely consistent with Section 4.2 - Existing Development - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, the applicant has worked with the TRCA to minimize the disturbance to the valley corridor, establish a more natural slope configuration along the valley corridor and provide a net gain through restoration works. On this basis, staff are of the opinion that the proposed works do not affect the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land.

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 report outlined in Attachment 1 that was approved by the Chief Administrative Officer on March 28, 2007 is provided for information. Report prepared by: Kathy Stranks, extension 5264 For Information contact: Kathy Stranks, extension 5264 Date: March 26, 2007 Attachments: 1 226 Attachment 1 TO: Chair and Members of the Procurement Not Requiring Board Approval Meeting RFQ #1/07 - Lowest Bid Not Accepted ($10,000 to $100,000), June 30, 2007 FROM: Nick Saccone, Director, Restoration Services RE: RESTORATION SERVICES CENTRE Supply and Installation - Equipment Storage Fabric Building KEY ISSUE To award the contract for the supply and installation of a fabric building to provide for equipment and material storage as part of the Restoration Services Centre operations. RECOMMENDATION THAT the contract for the supply and installation of a pre- engineered fabric covered storage building at the Restoration Services Centre (RSC) be awarded to Cover -All Building Systems of Ontario at the quoted price of $81,603.42 (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 signing of documents; AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to approve additional unspecified expenditures to a maximum of ten percent (10 %) of the total building cost as a contingency allowance, if deemed necessary. BACKGROUND As part of the planning and design for the newly constructed Restoration Services Centre facility at Boyd North, staff had identified the need to construct ancillary storage buildings to service the programming and projects operated by the Resource Management Projects group including the TRCA's Nursery operations. While staff envision two storage structures on this site in the future, we are only pursuing one installation at this time. The need for the storage building(s) is based on the replacement of the barn and drive shed facilities that will be vacated from the old Conservation Services Workshop site. The old structures are past their serviceable life and would require such extensive renovation and upgrades that it is not financially viable to relocate these structures. As a means of re- creating secure and adequate storage for project supplies and materials and TRCA vehicle and equipment assets, staff evaluated the relative merits and costs for conventional (wood and steel) versus fabric building construction technologies. Representative per square foot (taxes /permit fees extra) construction costs for the various building types are as follows: 227 • wood post frame /steel cladding $14 -16 per sq.ft. • steel frame /steel cladding $30 -35 per sq.ft. • fabric /steel frame w /8' steel clad wall $9 -10 per sq.ft. Fabric buildings are less expensive, offer a wide variety of configurations, are fast to install and offer more flexibility in being able to relocate or reconfigure the building envelope more easily at any time in the future as program requirements change. Fabric buildings have been in service for up to 15 years in the agricultural sector for a variety of uses. Recently, commercial storage (warehousing) and municipal sector agencies have employed this cost - effective and flexible format to service their specific storage and covered space needs. It is precisely the technology's cost effectiveness and fast, flexible installation format that makes this the preferred solution to provide for RSC's immediate storage needs. Staff requested service proposals and pricing for supply and installation from the two product suppliers (Cover -AII Building Systems and MegaDome) that service the Greater Toronto Area. Each supplier was invited to provide a quotation on their product that most closely met TRCA specifications for a 20m x 40m fabric building. Quotes received are as follows: Supplier Name/ Manufacturer Name Specified Building Style and Size Quoted Price (Discount and PST Incl., GST extra) Discount Structure Warranty Coverage Cover -AII Building Systems Cover -AII Legend 62' x 120' w/ 96" Sidewall height 2 -14' x 14' end doors 2- person doors steel $ 81,603.42 10% off Cover -AII components through Apr 15/07 15 Years DURAWEAVE II cover and GATORSHIELD structural steel frame MegaDome/ Les Industries Harnois MegaDome HP 60' x 120' w/ 60" sidewall height 2 -14' x 14' end doors 2- person doors PT $ 70,766.71 $2,400. promotional discount through Apr 01/07 15 Years Fibralene cover 10 Years structural steel frame Staff has reviewed the proposals by evaluating: • engineering drawings and design specifications submitted; • building components and finishes provided; • supplier experience and client /project references; and • product quality controls standards and warranty. 228 On the basis of product specifications received and supplier information regarding manufacturer's processes and warranty coverage, it was found that the Coverall proposal was a complete package that provided more detail and information to support their product claims. Further, the Coverall product proposal more closely fulfilled TRCA requirements and offers a more finished product that will resist the effects of weather and time. Therefore, staff is recommending that the Cover -All product specification and proposal provides the best combination of materials, function, durability, serviceability and cost. FINANCIAL DETAILS Contract cost is to be charged to the Restoration Services Centre capital development account 408 -88 -344. In accordance with the approved project capital funding model, it is expected that the capital budget deficit will be treated as a receivable in anticipation of deficit retirement over subsequent years through the application of project revenues and other reserves.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to implement a bio- engineered slope remediation solution to an erosion scar on the slope behind 86 Hillside Drive, and construct a single family dwelling, rear deck and associated servicing on this undeveloped lot in the City of Toronto. The subject property is located west of Broadview Avenue, south of O'Connor Drive and includes a portion of the Don Valley. The slope was subject to erosion caused by a now disconnected storm sewer outfall. The work is required to protect the site from the effects of slope instability as well as facilitate similar slope remediation works on the 18 Fernwood Gardens site immediately adjacent to the north. The 18 Fernwood Gardens site is also the subject of a permit application at this Executive Committee meeting. The slope remediation works consist of placing a shot rock base under sand backfill, followed by a gabion stone, maccaferri green terramesh / mac mat facing and topsoil cover. The topsoil cover is then protected with an erosion mat and heavily planted with native seed mix, shrubs and trees. The single family dwelling is located 12 metres from the top of bank. The valley portion of the site, including a 2 metre buffer, will be conveyed to TRCA ownership as part of a conditional Consent application approval in 2006. Control of Flooding: The work is not located in the Regional Storm Floodplain and will have no impact on the control of flooding. Pollution: A sediment control fence will be installed to ensure that construction debris does not enter the remainder of the slope. The subject property is separated from the Don River by the Don Valley Parkway. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: The proposal is designed to remediate the impacts of past erosion, and is designed in such a manner as to prevent future erosion. The proposal is acceptable to TRCA geotechnical engineering staff. 240 Conservation of Land: The proposal will involve the removal of some trees impacted by the existing erosion. However, there will be no impact to the significant area. Plantings Extensive seed mix, shrub and tree planting is proposed. Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section 4.1., New Development, and Section 4.2.2., Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

C/O CASTLEPOINT INVESTMENTS INC. To site grade, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere and alter a watercourse on Lot 25, Concession 2, Block 12 - south side of Teston Road and west of Bathurst Street, in the City of Vaughan, Don River Watershed as located on the property owned by Andridge Homes Ltd. c/o Castlepoint Investments Inc. The purpose is to permit the temporary /permanent placement, dumping or removal of material, alter a watercourse and to conduct site grading within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain of a tributary of the Don River (southwest of Bathurst Street and Teston Road), in order to install a watermain running beneath the watercourse, as part of servicing works for Block 12, in the City of Vaughan. The permit will be issued for the period of May 4, 2007 to May 3, 2009 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Mr. Gaetano Franco, Castlepoint Investments Inc., dated April 20, 2007, received April 20, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 241 Proposal: The proposal is to temporarily /permanently place, dump or removal material, alter a watercourse and site grade within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain of a tributary of the Don River (McNair Creek), in order to install a watermain under an existing culvert, as part of servicing works for Block 12, in the City of Vaughan. The subject site is located within the valley corridor open space system, southwest of Bathurst Street and Teston Road. The proposed works include the installation of 240 meters of 250 mm diameter watermain running beneath McNair Creek and through the centreline of the easement along Vanda Drive to Lady Nadia Drive. The works will be conducted via a directional drilling program. To address potential issues associated with a frac -out on the work site, the applicant has submitted a comprehensive project plan, which outlines construction methodology and risk mitigation. To supplement this project plan, a directional drill contingency plan has also been submitted for TRCA staff review. The applicant has proposed to safeguard the creek by assessing the potential for a frac -out prior to the initiation of works. If deemed necessary, the applicant will implement a pump by -pass around the culvert location. This will isolate the creek bed along the directional drill path, thereby minimize the risk of introducing drilling fluid into the watercourse. The pump by -pass will be implemented with the erection of a temporary coffer dam upstream of the culvert location. A certified fisheries biologist will carry out the necessary fish rescue, transferring native species downstream of the proposed works. Additional contingency measures on the site include continuous monitoring during construction and having equipment and materials on -site which can be utilized immediately following a potential frac -out. It is noted that the applicant has committed to contacting TRCA staff should a frac -out occur and consult staff on appropriate restoration measures. Again, the proposed pump by -pass program will only be implemented if the risk of a frac -out is considered significant. At this time, TRCA staff has reviewed the proposal and has expressed minor concerns relating to construction methodology. These issues are to be satisfactorily addressed by the applicant prior to the release of the subject permit. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located under the existing culvert crossing. No permanent structures will be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain of McNair Creek. As such, the storage or conveyance of flood waters will not be negatively impacted by the proposed works. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be erected around the perimeter of the work site and maintained for the duration of construction to ensure that sediment does not enter the nearby watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. 242 Erosion: Erosion on the work site will be minimized through the application of the aforementioned sediment and erosion control measures. Conservation of Land: A geotechnical soil investigation report has been submitted as part of the technical documentation. The TRCA's Geotechnical Engineer has reviewed this submission and is satisfied that there are no geotechnical issues associated with the works. Given the proximity of the work site to the watercourse and the potential need to implement a pump by -pass program, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Plantings Areas disturbed as part of the construction works will be restored with native, non - invasive plantings. 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 in a Regional Storm Floodplain, remove /place fill /material, and alter a watercourse for the purposes of constructing a sanitary sewer by open trench methods (including open cut of a watercourse during the cold -water timing window of June 15 to September 15) and by trenchless technology beneath existing development which will require the construction of two bore pits. The permit will be issued for the period of May 4, 2007 to May 3, 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 and to address comments in TRCA's April 16, 2007 letter, all to the satisfaction of TRCA; prepared by the Town of Whitchurch- Stouffville; dated April 19, 2007; received by TRCA April 23, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: As part of the construction of the York - Durham Sewage System (YDSS), a permit was issued to York Region for the open cut crossing of a tributary draining into the Little Rouge River. Permit C -05255 was issued in July 2005 with construction completed thereafter. It was determined that the existing 300 mm diameter sewer installed at this crossing is not sized appropriately for future development. The sewer is now being constructed by the Town of Whitchurch- Stouffville, the proponent of this application. The new sewer involves construction of a 600 millimetre (mm) diameter sanitary sewer by open trench methods from proposed Manhole (MH) 1A located on Ringwood Drive south of Stouffville Road to proposed MH 7A just west of the Ringwood Drive cul -de -sac. From MH7A, the sewer will be constructed southward by trenchless technology enclosed in 900 mm steel casing, beneath existing development, to proposed MH 388. Two bore pits will be required to complete the trenchless technology portion of the works, bore pit #1 located in close proximity to MH 388 and bore pit #2 located north of Ringwood Drive. From MH 388 the sewer will be constructed by open cut methods across a watercourse and connect to existing manhole W1A which is part of the YDSS. The installation of the sewer will be designed and constructed to minimize effects on groundwater resources and terrestrial/ aquatic features in the vicinity. As part of the mitigation plan, garbage will be removed from the bed and banks of the stream, and the upstream and downstream sections of the tributary will be planted with native vegetation species. 253 Control of Flooding: The storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be impacted by the proposed works. Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment control measures (silt fence, coffer dam, rock check dam) will be implemented for the duration of construction and until the site is restored in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering watercourses. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There will be no slope stability or erosion 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). In- water /near -water works will proceed during the cold -water timing window of June 15 to September 15. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored to better than existing conditions with native /non- invasive vegetation species 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. The location of the proposed works is within the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) and Greenbelt.

The purpose is to permit the temporary /permanent placement, dumping or removal of material, construct a structure, alter a shoreline of a stormwater management pond and alter a tributary of the Don River, in order to facilitate the construction of a new roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland for the 2008 season. The permit will be issued for the period of May 4, 2007 to May 3, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking - applicant to satisfactorily address all outstanding TRCA issues, prepared by Norm Prtovshek, Canada's Wonderland, dated April 24, 2007, received April 25, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to permit the temporary /permanent placement, dumping or removal of material, construct a structure, alter a shoreline of a stormwater management pond and alter a tributary of the Don River, in order to facilitate the construction of a new roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland for the 2008 season. The subject works are located at the south end of the theme park, west of Jane Street, north of Rutherford Road, in the City of Vaughan. The site is located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, within the Regulated Area of the West Don River; adjacent to an existing on -line stormwater quantity pond and roller coaster. The applicant submitted an application for a permit under Ontario Regulation 158 (Fill, Construction and Alterations to Waterways) for the development of the other roller coaster in 2004. The permit was approved at the TRCA's Executive Committee meeting on August 6, 2004 and was subsequently issued for the construction of the coaster as well as for the implementation of a cut /fill balance in order to address filling within the flood plain (Permit No. C- 06016) . 267 The proposed work site currently consists of manicured landscape area around the existing stormwater facility. The new roller coaster will be laid out in a manner where the ride will traverse along the shoreline of the stormwater pond and cross over the pond onto tableland. The ride station is located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Don River. However, it will be constructed on support pylons above the Regional Flood Plain elevation. Approximately 13 concrete footings will be placed directly in the stormwater management facility. This represents the first phase of works which is to be completed in May /June 2007 during the start of the 2007 summer season. In order to construct the footings in the stormwater pond, a coffer dam and marine silt curtains will be erected, which will isolate the work site and minimize impacts to fish habitat. The second phase of the works includes the construction of 115 footings and access roads near the edge of the stormwater pond. It is noted that there is no riparian vegetation currently associated with the pond's edge as this area has been historically manicured. To address potential impacts with the construction of the footings in the pond and riparian edge, a comprehensive planting plan has been submitted to TRCA staff. The shoreline naturalization plan consists of groups of dense plantings of native species which will allow for shading along the pond's edge, thereby helping to limit temperature impacts to the pond and fish habitat. This planting plan is significantly larger and more comprehensive than the one implemented as part of the works for the other roller coaster. Control of Flooding: As noted previously, the other roller coaster was constructed in 2005 (The Italian Job) in the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Don River. Unlike the previous works, the proposed ride will not involve any filling in the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Footings for the new ride will be located within the flood plain. However, it is noted that the loading station and the ride itself is located well above the Regional Storm Flood Plain elevation. Written confirmation from the applicant's structural engineer has been provided which confirms that the proposed coaster will be designed in such a manner as to withstand a Regional Storm event including all structural support columns and the loading dock platform. The velocity of the storm flows is considered low (less than 1 metres /second) and thus, the risk due to scour at the ride foundation is minimal. To address potential flooding around the support columns and ride, an indemnity agreement has been submitted for TRCA staff review. This agreement mirrors an agreement that was previously executed for The Italian Job coaster; releasing the TRCA from any claims incurred due to flooding around the coaster. Further, an emergency evacuation plan has also been submitted, which outlines detailed procedures in the event of a flood event (Le., shutting the ride down to park guests). At this time, TRCA staff has reviewed the proposal and is generally satisfied with the intent of the works. However, there remain issues pertaining to construction methodology that are to be satisfactorily address by the applicant prior to the release of the subject permit. Pollution: Sediment and erosion controls will be installed prior to the commencement of the works and maintained for the duration of construction to prevent the entry of silt, sediment into the nearby watercourse and stormwater facility. 268 Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: Erosion on the work site will be minimized through the application of the aforementioned sediment and erosion control measures. All disturbed areas of the site in close proximity to the water will be stabilized immediately and re- vegetated upon completion of the works. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues as there is no valley corridor associated with the proposed works. In -water works are proposed for the development of the footings within the pond as part of the first phase of works. To address the potential impacts to fish habitat, the applicant's consultants have developed a mitigation plan for the coffer dam construction including continuous monitoring and the isolation of the work area. Further, the applicant proposes to address erosion around the shoreline of the existing stormwater pond by implementing a comprehensive planting plan. These plantings will provide shading for fish in the pond and work towards the mitigation of temperature impacts due to the lack of riparian vegetation in the current state. TRCA Planning Ecology staff has reviewed the proposal and considers the impact to fish habitat to be minimal. As such, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). No other significant natural features will be impacted by the proposed works. Plantings As part of the site restoration, the applicant is proposing extensive plantings of native, non - invasive species along the shoreline of the existing pond.

Road, in the City of Vaughan, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by The Regional Municipality of York. The purpose is to permit the temporary /permanent placement, dumping or removal of material, conduct site grading and construct a structure, within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain of a tributary of the Humber River (on the west side of Highway 27, north of Highway 407). The works consist of the installation of a sanitary sewer and watermain beneath the watercourse and the extension of an existing box culvert as part of servicing works for the Importanne Centre and Dongara Pellet Factory, in the City of Vaughan. 275 The permit will be issued for the period of May 4, 2007 to May 3, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking - applicant to satisfactorily address all outstanding TRCA issues as identified in correspondence dated April 18, 2007, prepared by Mr. Lawrence Rutledge, JSW & Associates, dated May 1, 2007, received May 2, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to temporarily /permanently place, dump or remove material, construct a structure and site grade within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain of a tributary of the Humber River, in order to install a sanitary sewer /watermain underneath the watercourse and extend an existing box culvert, as part of servicing works for the Importanne Centre and Dongara Pellet Factory, in the City of Vaughan. The subject works are located on the west side of Highway 27, north of Highway 407 (north of Toronto R.V. Road) on lands owned by the Regional Municipality of York. However, it is noted that the subject works will facilitate the development of adjacent properties including the Importanne Marketing Inc. site, located to the south. A hotel /convention centre and commercial development is proposed on the Importanne lands. The proposed works will also facilitate the development of the Dongara Pellet Factory, located on the east side of Highway 27. Previously, TRCA staff reviewed technical details for two permits relating to the Dongara Pellet Factory. The first permit was for the development of an access road into the Dongara site (028 /07/VAUG) while the second permit was for the construction of a storm outfall at the southeast corner of the property (029/07/VAUG). It is noted that both permits were approved on a conditional basis at the TRCA's Executive Committee on February 2, 2007, pending the resolution of outstanding issues. It is anticipated that these permits will be issued shortly. The first portion of the subject works involves the installation of a 250 mm diameter sanitary sewer and 400 mm watermain underneath the existing watercourse. In order to minimize any disturbance to the watercourse, the installation will be conducted utilizing a jack and bore installation technique (trenchless). The watermain /sanitary sewer are located a minimum of 2.1. metres below the watercourse. The second portion of the works includes the extension of an existing box culvert that traverses under Highway 27. This extension will be implemented through the development of wingwalls on both sides of the existing box culvert. Given the in- stream works involved with this section of the works, the warmwater fisheries timing window will be applicable. Work is to commence on the extension of the culvert after July 1. Control of Flooding: No permanent structures relating to the watermain /sanitary sewer are proposed within the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Humber River. As such, the storage or conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted by the jack and boring project. 276 With respect to the extension of the box culvert. TRCA technical staff is satisfied that the project will have minimal impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be erected around the perimeter of the work site and maintained for the duration of construction to ensure that sediment does not enter the watercourse. 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. Given that the extension of the culvert will require in- stream works, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Plantings As that the watermain /sanitary sewer will be installed utilizing a trenchless jack and bore system, no disturbance and /or restoration of the site is anticipated. Plantings of native, non - invasive species will be implemented around areas disturbed as part of the extension to the box culvert. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

To site grade, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere and alter a watercourse on Part Lot 5, 6, Concession 3, (1409 Salem Road North), in the Town of Ajax, Carruthers Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by Mountcliffe Developments Inc.. The purpose is to undertake site grading, permanently place fill material and alter a watercourse in order to establish a stormwater management pond and a natural wetland as part of a residential subdivision. 277 The permit will be issued for the period of May 4, 2007 to May 3, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking by Nick Falvo, President, Baycliffe Homes, committing to make all minor revisions to the plans requested by TRCA staff. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to undertake site grading, permanently place fill material and alter a watercourse in order to establish a stormwater management pond and natural wetland as part of a 223 unit, 13 hectare, residential plan of subdivision in the Town of Ajax. The development, known as Mountcliffe, is located in the urbanizing northwest portion of the town west of the Carruthers Creek, north of the Canadian Pacific Railway line and east of Salem Road. TRCA staff were involved in the review of the plan of subdivision prior to its draft approval by the Town of Ajax in January 2007. During the review, staff were able to negotiate the inclusion of an environmental restoration block within the draft plan in addition to the standard stormwater management pond block. This environmental restoration block is to provide for a newly created wetland and upland habitats adjacent to a tributary of the Carruthers Creek and is based upon the findings of environmental review conducted by the proponent at TRCA's request. The proposal provides for the establishment of both the stormwater management pond as well as works associated with creating the wetland and upland habitats within the environmental restoration block. The proposed stormwater management pond is an expansion to a previously approved pond that was planned as part of the Hampstock development to the north and approved by the Executive Committee at its meeting #4/06 held on June 9th, 2006. The expanded pond has been designed to incorporate a larger catchment area and has the advantage of minimizing the number of stormwater management ponds within the area. The pond is to include an outfall that will discharge to a tributary of the Carruthers Creek. The outfall has been adequately set back from the watercourse and will contain a plunge pool and flow spreader composed of river run stone to adequately protect from erosion. Control of Flooding: The proposed stormwater management pond is outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain and has been designed to safely convey flood flows. Therefore, the control of flooding will not be affected. Pollution: A sediment and erosion control plan will be implemented and maintained for the duration of construction so that sedimentation of the tributary will not occur. The stormwater management pond has been designed to meet the criteria set by the Ministry of the Environment's Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual with respect to stormwater quality. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable 278 Erosion: Geotechnical and hydrological issues associated with the pond design have been addressed via the inclusion of a clay pond liner in order to prevent the intermingling of stormwater with the relatively high groundwater table in the area. There are no slope stability issues associated with this proposal. Conservation of Land: The proposal is not within significant natural heritage features. Extensive planting plans and restoration plans are to be included as part of the proposal in order to transplant existing native vegetation from areas that are to be developed to the environmental restoration block. In addition, detailed landscape drawings provide for the establishment of a new wetland separate from the stormwater management pond. This will provide for additional wetland habitat adjacent to the Carruthers Creek tributary on the site. 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 Planting and restoration plans, as discussed above, for both the stormwater management pond area and the environmental restoration block are included 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 (VSCMP).

The subject property is located within a Special Policy Area (SPA) and is susceptible to flooding during a Regional Storm event. The proposed works will be flush with existing grades. As such, it is anticipated that there will be no impacts to flood storage and conveyance capacity. 284 Control of Flooding: TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed works will not impact the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Silt fencing will be installed and maintained throughout 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 project. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. Enhancement plantings along the rear lot line have been included with this application to provide a net ecological gain. Plantings All proposed plantings are native and non - invasive consistent with TRCA's guidelines. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 (E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP). CFN: 39065 - Application #: 166/07/RH Report Prepared by: Susan Robertson, extension 5370 For information contact: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 Date: April 25, 2007 8.1.37 REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF YORK To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere and interfere with a wetland (north side of 19th Avenue west of Bayview Avenue), in the Town of Richmond Hill, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Regional Municipality of York. The purpose is to place /remove fill /material for the construction of Pressure Relief Well (PRW) within the regulated wetland interference limit on the north side of 19th Avenue approximately 90 metres west of the intersection of 19th Avenue and Bayview Avenue in the Town of Richmond Hill. The permit will be issued for the period of May 4, 2007 to May 3, 2009. 285 • Letter of Undertaking to address the comments in TRCA's letter of April 27, 2007 to the satisfaction of TRCA; prepared by the Regional Municipality of York; dated April 30, 2007; received by TRCA May 1, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The Permit to Take Water (PTTW) which the Ministry of Environment (MOE) issued on July 14, 2006 for the YDSS Interceptor Sewer Project included the requirement to install two contingency pressure relief wells prior to any tunnelling activity. PRW7 is the second of these contingency pressure relief wells. The approval for installation of the first contingency pressure relief well, PRW8, was provided by TRCA on November 20, 2006 and issued through the Emergency Works approval process. The well is being installed to address MOE concerns related to the risk, however remote, of a failure in the till cap (beneath the watercourses either side of Bayview Avenue) due to uplift pressure from the Earth Pressure Balance tunnel boring machine (EPB TBM). The MOE is also concerned about the considerable response time that would be required to repair damage from a sudden hydraulic failure in the cap near the watercourses /ditches. The intention of pre - installing these wells is to minimize the potential for harm to the fishery in the event of any contingency situation in these critical areas. Pre - installation as mandated in the PTTW will avoid excessive time delays and will allow rapid control of the "flowing" conditions that would occur around any rupture of the till. PRW7 will be constructed in accordance with Ontario Regulation 903. The outer casing will be 250 millimetres (mm) in diameter. The test hole will be installed to a maximum depth of 23.5 metres below grade through the Ration Till to the Oak Ridges Aquifer Complex (ORAC). If flowing conditions are encountered during construction best management practices and standard well construction techniques will be adhered to in order to try and prevent further flow. Once the well is constructed it will be developed using standard techniques. The well will be in operation during the construction of the sewer. Decommissioning of PRW7 will be in accordance with Ontario Regulation 903, Section 21 Abandonment, and is intended to take place in the summer of 2008, after tunnel construction is complete. Any discharge for all stages of PRW7 (i.e. flowing conditions during construction, development, operation) will be managed in accordance with the approved Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the YDSS Interceptor Sewer Project. Control of Flooding: The storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be impacted by the proposed works. Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment control measures (silt fence, straw bales, rip rap, etc.) will be implemented for the duration of construction and until the site is restored to prevent construction generated sediment from entering any watercourse or wetland feature. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable 286 Erosion: There will be no slope stability or erosion 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). Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored to better than existing conditions with native /non- invasive species following construction, as required. 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 works is within the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) and Greenbelt. This project has been reviewed for the tests and best management practices described in section 41(5)(a to e) of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and complies with the Greenbelt Plan.

The permit will be issued for the period of May 4, 2007 to May 3, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking to provide revisions to the engineering drawings and to address TRCA comments, all to the satisfaction of TRCA; prepared by The Regional Municipality of York; dated April 26, 2007; received by TRCA April 26, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal The works involve the removal of a 450 millimetre (mm) diameter x 12 metre (m) length Corrugated Steel Pipe (CSP) approximately 650 metres (m) north of Bethesda Road and replacement with a 600 mm diameter x 14 m (approximate) polyethylene pipe. Replacement is required to prevent future blockage in the pipe by sediments which have been encountered with the existing culvert. Ditches on both sides of Kennedy Road have filled with sediments over recent years and it is proposed to regrade and restore these ditches to better convey drainage. Regrading of the ditches on the east side will be approximately 0.5 metres deep for approximately 500 metres southwards of the culvert. Regrading of the ditches on the west side will be approximately 0.3 m deep for approximately 100 m southwards of the culvert. 289 Control of Flooding: The storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be impacted by the proposed works as the works are not located in a Regional Storm Floodplain. Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment control measures (silt fence to isolate works) will be implemented for the duration of construction and until the site is restored in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering any watercourse /wetland feature. The drainage feature associated with these works has not been identified as a watercourse. Works will be completed in the dry, during dry weather conditions when there is no flow in the culvert. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There will be no slope stability or erosion concerns with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: The drainage feature has not been classified as a watercourse, therefore, there is no fish habitat. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored to better than existing conditions with native /non- invasive vegetation 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 works is within the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) and Greenbelt.

The permit will be issued for the period of May 4, 2007 to May 3, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking by Tom Parry, P.Eng., Director of Development Services, committing to make all minor revisions to the plans requested by TRCA staff. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The Town of Whitchurch- Stouffville seeks permission to undertake site grading and alter a watercourse in order to construct watermains and a sanitary sewer as part of the Main Street reconstruction project. The proposed infrastructure is to extend from Ringwood Drive westerly to Highway 48 and then proceed north to the new intersection with Millard Drive which is currently under construction. Given this extent of works, the warermains and sanitary sewer are proposed to cross underneath the Little Rouge Creek at its intersection with Main Street. In addition, the watermains and sanitary sewer are to be constructed close to a tributary of the Little Rouge Creek that runs parallel to Highway 48. The crossing underneath the Little Rouge Creek at Main street is to be undertaken via a tunneling method two metres beneath the existing open box culvert. As the watermain and sanitary sewer are to be constructed in the centre of the road right of way along Main Street, the works, including the trenches for the crossing, will be undertaken where the roadway exists and will minimize disturbance to any natural areas. Along Highway 48, the works are to take place on the western side of the highway right of way and will take place close to a tributary of the Little Rouge which runs parallel to Highway 48 in this location. Control of Flooding: All existing grades are to be maintained post construction. The project will therefore have no impact on the storage and conveyance of the Regional Storm Flood Plain.. Pollution: A sediment and erosion control plan will be implemented and maintained for the duration of construction so that sedimentation of the tributaries will not occur. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical or slope stability issues with the proposal. Conservation of Land: The proposal is not within significant natural heritage features. 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. 291 Plantings Given that the works are to take place within existing road rights of way, away from natural areas, no plantings have 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 (VSCMP).

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 295 Proposal. The proposal is to undertake works within a Regulated Area of the Don Watershed, in order to construct a stormwater outfall and carry out remedial excavation and grading works at 9401 Jane Street, in the City of Vaughan. TRCA staff were originally circulated related planning development applications for the subject property (Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw Amendment applications OP.05.002 and Z.05.007 respectively). At that time Authority staff provided comments to Vaughan Planning concerning the need for an appropriate buffer from the woodlot, located to the east of the subject site. The applications were referred to and approved by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). An environmental buffer, averaged out to 10 metres, was approved by the OMB. Authority staff recognize the reduced buffer in certain areas is not consistent with our policies, however staff support the proposal on the basis of the proposed restoration adjacent to the valley. The works proposed for this portion of the site are related to a development proposal which requires remedial grading adjacent to the slope and the resulting outfall on city -owned lands. While flows will not be directly discharged into the nearby watercourse, diffusion of stormwater through the valley corridor and into the watercourse is expected. As such, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Control of Flooding: The proposed outfall is located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, and 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 Erosion: Erosion on the work site will be minimized through the application of the sediment and erosion control measures noted above. Staff have reviewed the technical submissions respecting the gradient of the valley slope and are satisfied. Conservation of Land: There is no significant vegetation located on the valley slope were the proposed works will be conducted. There is some vegetative cover that will be removed (trees and shrubs). A restoration plan has been submitted by the proponent and concurred with by Authority staff. No in -water works are proposed, however, given the discharge of stormwater flows into the valley, and ultimately the watercourse, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of DFO. 296 Plantings Plantings of native, non - invasive species will be carried out along the corridor and on the regraded valley slope. The planting will be implemented in accordance with TRCA's Planting and Seed Mix Guidelines. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3- Infrastructure and Servicing Section of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Paving of interior roads at Albion Hills and Indian Line campgrounds will continue the improvements to the campgrounds to meet the demands of today's tourists and increase visitation. In 2005, approximately 16,164 square metres of interior roads were paved at Albion Hills and Indian Line campgrounds. These paving projects were met with great success. Additional improvement such as paving will allow TRCA to remain competitive with other campgrounds in our vicinity and will also translate into higher campground rating in industry standard camping guides. 299 A request for tender was prepared for the supply of materials, equipment, labour supervision and inspections to complete asphalt work of approximately 6,492 square metres at Albion Hills Campground and 2,555 square metres at Indian Line Campground.

Although, AECON Construction and Materials did not provide the lowest net price for paving at Albion Hills Campground, they did provide the lowest price per square metre, meeting TRCA specifications. Vaughan Paving Ltd. did not provide the lowest net price for paving at Indian Line Campground, however they provided the lowest bid per square metre, meeting TRCA specifications. It should be noted that Fermar Paving provided the lowest bid per square metre at both Albion Hills Campground and Indian Line Campground but did not meet TRCA specifications as they did not include a certified cheque or bid bond in their tender. Staff is confident that the recommended contractors will complete the project in a satisfactory manner. 301 The opportunity to replace asphalt paving with porous material was assessed as per Resolution #A294/02 at Authority Meeting #11/02, held January 10, 2003, which directed staff to attempt to alter asphalt paving in ravine parks and open spaces to porous paving as applications came forward, on a best efforts basis. All due consideration was given to the supported factors of benefits, performance, durability, soil composition, cost and maintenance. The decision to utilize asphalt paving is based on the following: • Permeable paving is ideal in areas where opportunities for natural infiltration are limited, but given the conditions for runoff into natural permeable areas in the campgrounds, the overall benefit of permeable paving is limited in this instance. • Permeable paving is not appropriate in soils with low permeability or high shrink -swell potential. Expansive soils or sub -soils that have high clay or fine content or locations of shallow bedrock have been proven not appropriate for permeable paving. Indian Line Campground has high clay content and therefore, permeable paving is not recommended for these types of soils but rather best suited for sandy and well drained soils. • In order for permeable paving to be an effective infiltration system, it's highly recommended that in order to prevent clogging, this method of paving must be periodically vacuumed or pressure washed to remove fine debris. Due to vehicles moving from campsites to the paved surfaces, mud and dirt tracking from vehicles will cause maintenance requirements that are uneconomical at these locations. • Another factor in the comparison between asphalt and porous paving is the fact that sand cannot be used for ice control when using permeable systems due to the reasons that it would fill in the openings which is required for proper drainage. • Due to winter programming and operations, Albion Hills Campground maintains their roadways with a sand /salt mixture which would ultimately interfere with the porous paving drainage system. • Permeable paving has a cost - premium of 2 -3 times that of conventional asphalt due to additional costs associated with the installation of a sub - surface reservoir that must meet quality specifications and requirements for compressive strength, water absorption and freeze -thaw resistance. Given the limited benefit due to natural runoff, winter conditions and inappropriate soil conditions, staff is recommending proceeding with asphalt paving. TRCA is also conducting monitoring activities using precut concrete paving at other locations under the Sustainable Technologies Evaluation Program.

Moved by: Seconded by: Suzan Hall Maria Augimeri THAT the contract for the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) communications and media relations services from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 be awarded to Brown and Cohen Communications and Public Affairs at a cost not to exceed $80,000 (monthly fee of $6,000, plus expenses and incrementals), plus applicable taxes; AND FURTHER THAT staff conduct a review of the performance for TRCA of Brown and Cohen Communications and Public Affairs in September 2007. CARRIED BACKGROUND Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) communications and media relations services have been with Brown and Cohen Communications and Public Affairs (hereafter Brown & Cohen) since 2004. Brown & Cohen successfully developed media contact lists and delivered a program of press kits, press releases, radio and television media coverage, media follow -up and tracking. Staff has seen a progressive increase in media coverage of approximately 40 percent since 2004, of which a portion can be attributed to this agency. RATIONALE As Brown & Cohen have been a supplier to TRCA since 2004, they are familiar with the organization, its workings and its staff. Further, TRCA's media coverage has progressively increased since the award of the contract in 2004 (an average of 40 percent over the course of 2004 -2006) . Staff is proposing that the contract be extended to Brown & Cohen for 2007. Brown & Cohen continues to maintain a strong reputation in both the public and private sector, including Parc Downsview Park and the province. They also have extensive connections with media services which they leverage for TRCA purposes. In September of 2007 staff will conduct a review of the effectiveness of TRCA's media placement, coverage and costs, as well as future requirements. At that time, and based on feedback from TRCA staff, a new supplier may be deemed necessary and an request for proposal (RFP) prepared and distributed. FINANCIAL DETAILS The cost for the services with Brown and Cohen is $6,000 per month, for a total cost not to exceed $80,000 per year, plus applicable taxes, additional related expenses and incrementals. Funds for 2007 are identified in the 2007 operating budget for the communications department.

Approval for staff to travel outside Canada to attend a course in the United States of America. Moved by: Seconded by: Suzan Hall Maria Augimeri THAT approval be granted for Tom Dole, Water Resources Analyst and Craig Mitchell, Hydrometric Coordinator, to attend the Seminar on Safety and Evaluation of Existing Dams offered by the United States Bureau of Reclamation in Denver, Colorado, from May 14 - 18, 2007, at a cost not to exceed $5,500 including applicable taxes. 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. Established in 1902 the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) is the second largest producer of hydroelectric power in the US and operates 600 dams and reservoirs including the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River and the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River. The USBR is the world leader in dam safety and maintenance. The five -day course is the only one of its kind in North American and provides comprehensive instruction in dam safety examination and evaluation. The course emphasizes the importance of dam safety and provides information and instruction in dam safety surveillance, visual examination, concrete repair, remedial measures for dams and emergency action planning. RATIONALE After completing a comprehensive search of available dam safety training courses it was determined that no comparable course was being offered in Canada. To date, TRCA staff has not received any formal training in dam safety evaluation. TRCA owns four dams. Of these, G. Ross Lord Dam on the West branch of the Don River and Claireville Dam on the West branch of the Humber River are actively operated as part of the flood warning program. TRCA's dams range in age from 30 to 40 years old. As the dams get older it is vital that staff receive specialized training in dam safety and maintenance. Tom Dole is a Flood Duty Officer in TRCA's Flood Warning and Forecasting Program and is currently managing the Operations Updates and Emergency Preparedness Plans for G. Ross Lord Dam and Claireville Dam. The course will serve as professional development and the training will help in the completion of the operational updates and emergency planning for the dams. Craig Mitchell is the Hydrometric Coordinator in TRCA's Flood Warning and Forecasting Program and is in charge of managing the maintenance of all of TRCA's dams. The training will improve Craig's expertise in dam maintenance and monitoring. 304 FINANCIAL DETAILS The cost to attend this course, including return flight, meals, accommodations and taxi fare, is estimated to be $5,500 and will be covered by the Flood Warning Account 107 -01. Report prepared by: Tom Dole, extension 5659 Email: tdole @trca.on.ca For Information contact: Tom Dole, extension 5659 Email: tdole @trca.on.ca Date: April 26, 2007 RES. #B42/07 - WATER MANAGEMENT GUIDELINE Approval to retain Aquafor Beech Limited to develop a comprehensive water management guideline which would assist practitioners and review agencies in the planning, selection, design and costing of a wide range of Best Management Practices. Moved by: Seconded by: Richard Whitehead Suzan Hall THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) retain Aquafor Beech Limited to develop a comprehensive water management guideline which would assist practitioners (consultants and developers) and review agencies (TRCA and municipalities) in the planning, selection, design and costing of a wide range of Best Management Practices (BMP's), at a cost not to exceed $95,000 plus applicable taxes. CARRIED RATIONALE The stormwater management field is evolving. Initial efforts in the 1970's and 1980's focused on flood control. Efforts in the 1990's broadened the scope to address issues such as water quality degradation and erosion. Recently comprehensive studies have been undertaken to address issues related to water balance (surface and groundwater), geomorphology, fisheries and natural features. A majority of the conservation authorities have developed regulation policies and protocols to deal with a number of the traditional issues (eg. flood control). However, guidance with respect to the planning, selection and design of a wide range of BMP's, such as greenroofs, pervious pavement, bio- retention swales and stormwater management ponds to address all the issues as outlined above is not available or is outdated. Furthermore, topics such as the capital and operation /maintenance costs of the newer BMP's is not readily available in existing documents. 305 The objective of this guideline would therefore be to utilize information from existing documents and augment this information from recent findings in order to prepare a water management guideline which would assist practitioners (consultants and developers) and review agencies (TRCA and municipalities) in the planning, selection, design and costing of a wide range of BMP's. Items with respect to legislation and TRCA's role in the water management, floodplain management, erosion and sediment control and existing checklists would also be incorporated into the document. Completion of the above tasks will provide TRCA and the member municipalities with a comprehensive, state of the art water management guideline document which will lead to a more streamlined and focused design and review process. Furthermore, it would help ensure that the goals, objectives and targets as outlined in larger scale studies (watershed and subwatershed studies) are being met. It is expected that the proposed guideline will be finished by the end of 2007 and will include sections on: integrating stormwater management into the planning process, stormwater design criteria, water balance, best management practices, operations and maintenance, monitoring, floodplain management, watercourse /fluvial geomorphology, erosion and sediment control and relevant municipal and provincial documents. FINANCIAL DETAILS TRCA staff has provided a detailed task list to Aquafor Beech Limited for which they have provided a quote of $95,000 plus applicable taxes. Staff is of the opinion that this amount represents good value for the extent of work requested. Aquafor Beech Limited has the most experience in the province in this field and are currently developing a similar guideline for the Credit Valley Conservation Authority. The majority of the proposed guideline will be written to address specific TRCA water management criteria, however, it will also draw upon work completed for the Credit Valley Conservation Authority, therefore significantly reducing the effort and cost for this work while ensure consistency in the Region of Peel. Staff is therefore recommending the project be a sole source contract with Aquafor Beech Limited. As per TRCA's Purchasing Policy, sole source contracts from $50,000 to $200,000 require approval from the Executive Committee. Funding for this project will be provided from account 129 -10 and has approved funding from the Region of Peel.

Purchase of property located south of Major Mackenzie Drive, east of Dufferin Street, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, under the "Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 - 2010 ", Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Don River watershed. Moved by: Seconded by: Linda Pabst Paul Ainslie THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 0.08 hectares (0.18 acres), more or less, of vacant land being Part of Lot 20, Concession 2 and designated as Block 56 on a draft Plan of Subdivision prepared by Schaeffer & Dzaldov Limited, Ontario Land Surveyors, under their Job No. 03- 553 -OOC, dated April 17, 2007, City of Vaughan, located south of Major Mackenzie Drive, east of Dufferin Street, be purchased from 1275621 Ontario 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 & 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 take the necessary action to finalize the transaction including execution and signing of all necessary documentation. CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. 309 Negotiations have been conducted with Mr. Nick Colucci of Nu -Land Management Inc., on behalf of 1275621 Ontario 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 Don River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. Through the review of residential subdivision 19T- 95065, TRCA staff established the limits of the open space lands (i.e. Block 56 on draft Plan of Subdivision) which are comprised of a 5 metre buffer within the valley corridor of the East Don River at this location. 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 2008 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.

Acquisition of a partial taking, located east of Brock Road, north of Uxbridge- Pickering Townline, 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: Linda Pabst Paul Ainslie THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 1.23 hectares (3.05 acres), more or less, consisting of an irregular shaped parcel of vacant land, said lands being Part of Lot 2, Concession 5, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, further described as being Part 3 on Plan 40R- 24615, situated east of Brock Road, north of Uxbridge- Pickering Townline, be purchased from Hyang -Yom Kwak; THAT the purchase price be $2.00; THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (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 take the necessary action to finalize the transaction including execution and signing of all necessary documentation. 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, TRCA will acquire 1.23 hectares (3.05 acres) of the approximate 44.4 hectare (109.6 acre) Kwak property. This area consists of a 10 metre wide section of property running east -west from the road allowance adjacent to Brock Road, into the western edge of the TRCA -owned property known as the Brock Tract. The section includes a small wetland, mature hardwood forest and old field landscape types. In addition to the lands that will be transferred from Mr. Kwak, the Township of Uxbridge has agreed to transfer to TRCA part of the road allowance between Concessions 4 and 5, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, those lands totaling 0.005 hectares (0.012 acres) in size as shown on attached sketch and which will be subject to a future report. 312 This section of the road allowance, along with the lands being transferred from Mr. Kwak, will allow for a potential trail connection that links the Town of Claremont to the significant TRCA -owned Glen Major lands. The Glen Major lands total more than 1,500 hectares in size, consist of mature forest habitat on the Oak Ridges Moraine and provide over 50 kilometres of multi -use trail experiences. Negotiations have been conducted with the property owner, Hyang -Yom Kwak, and as a result TRCA has obtained an option on the property which is conditional on the necessary approvals. Attached is a sketch 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 on the Oak Ridges Moraine. The property is designated as Natural Core Area and Countryside Area under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and is adjacent to TRCA holdings in the area. The acquisition of this parcel will compliment TRCA's holdings in the Glen Major area, will help consolidate the protection of the resource features as provided by the abutting TRCA holdings and will provide a potential trail link between our Glen Major holdings and the Claremont community. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Based on the realty taxes paid on adjacent TRCA -owned lands, it is estimated that the annual taxes for the property would be approximately $200.00. 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 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 Glen Major area the addition of the subject parcel of land would not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs at this location given that these types of lands require a low degree of maintenance. FINANCIAL DETAILS All expenditures for this acquisition including appraisal, survey, environmental and legal fees are to be charged to the TRCA land acquisition capital account.

Award of Contract RSD07 -06 for the supply and delivery of approximately 8,500 tonnes of angular stone. Moved by: Seconded by: Linda Pabst Paul Ainslie THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Contract RSD07 -06 for the supply and delivery of approximately 8,500 tonnes of 800 mm to 1200 mm angular stone to the Highland Creek Emergency Bank Stabilization Project be awarded to Belmont Rose Granite Corporation at a total cost not to exceed $340,000, plus applicable taxes, it being the lowest tender that met Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications. CARRIED BACKGROUND In January, 2005, the City of Toronto Parks department identified to TRCA staff an eroding pathway in Morningside Park immediately east of the Morningside Avenue bridge. Following the site inspection, a detailed survey was carried out by TRCA staff on February 7, 2005. At this time an exposed watermain was discovered in the creek bed below the eroded section of pathway. TRCA staff notified the City of Toronto Works department (now Toronto Water) of the problem and informed them that the bank stabilization works to protect the pathway would not be carried out until the exposed watermain could be addressed. In addition, staff notified Hydro One of an existing hydro pole at risk, located near the top of bank on the north side of Highland Creek, east of Morningside Avenue. Hydro One subsequently relocated the pole shortly thereafter. In the interim, TRCA continued ongoing site monitoring, completed the final detailed design and obtained approvals to proceed with the implementation of the bank stabilization work, including reinstatement of the pedestrian trail. Implementation was delayed pending completion of required protection of the exposed watermain by the City of Toronto. The severe flood event of August 19, 2005 and subsequent events resulted in a significant amount of additional damage at the site. In addition to advancing the erosion of the pathway and further exposing of the watermain, extensive erosion occurred around Morningside Avenue bridge pier and a concrete - encased telephone conduit upstream of the bridge became exposed in the creek. In the months following the flood event, multiple inspections of the site were carried out by various departments within the City of Toronto (Transportation, Toronto Water and Parks), who collectively determined that restoration works should be carried out as a single undertaking. In April 2006, Toronto Water requested that TRCA serve as project manager for the restoration works at the site. Due to extensive damage of the infrastructure at this site, City of Toronto staff also declared the restoration works under the Emergency Protocol. 330 Although the City of Toronto remains the proponent for the works, TRCA is responsible for managing the services of the consultant, Parish Geomorphic, for the development of the final design, securing all approvals and implementing the restorative works. Protection of the exposed Bell conduit and temporary channel realignment was recently completed by R &M Construction on behalf of Bell Canada. In addition, the City of Toronto is presently tendering for the protection of the exposed south bridge pier, which is tentatively scheduled to be completed by the end of May, 2007. Following completion of the bridge works, TRCA will commence implementation of the final design for the remaining of the channel protection, pending receipt of all approvals. RATIONALE The tender was publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial News on Friday, April 27, 2007 with the following bids being received: Bidder Unit Price Quantity (tonnes) Subtotal (plus GST) Belmont Rose Granite $40.00 8,500 $340,000 P.D.

The purpose is to excavate and place fill (for road widening from 2 to 4 lanes with additional turning lanes at Leslie Street; for a total of 4 culvert removals and 4 culvert replacements and lengthenings, and for a total of 3 wetland equalizer culverts) in a Regulated Area; to construct structures (2 of the culvert replacements: C20 at Station 16 +645; C21 at Station 17 +030; and asphalt paving) within a Regional Storm Floodplain; to temporarily alter a watercourse (tributary of Rouge River) during the coldwater timing window (June 15 to September 15) through a dam and pump around method, and to interfere with a wetland (White Rose - Preston Lake Wetland Complex). The permit will be issued for the period of June 1, 2007 to May 31, 2009 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking (to provide revisions to drawings and reports); dated May 16, 2007; received May 17, 2007; prepared by Regional Municipality of York. 347 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The entire Bloomington Road project, from approximately 120 metres west of Bathurst Street to just west of Highway 404, consists of the widening and repaving of 7420 metres of Bloomington Road. The entire project is situated on the Oak Ridges Moraine. This file focuses on the eastern section between Leslie Street and Highway 404 within the Regulated Area. The existing two -lane rural cross - section will be widened to four lanes with additional turning lanes near major intersections. The widening of the road will require several culverts to be removed and replaced with longer culverts to accommodate the widening. There is a Regulated Area in the east surrounding the White Rose - Preston Lake Wetland Complex at the Leslie Street, Bloomington Sideroad Intersection and along Bloomington Sideroad to the Canadian National Rail (CNR) overpass near Highway 404. The rural cross section will be maintained in this section between Bayview Avenue to the CNR. The profile in the wetland will be modified by a maximum of 1 metre at the lowest point. On Bloomington Road east of Leslie Street three dry culverts will be installed to equalize drainage between the wetland and for terrestrial passage at C20.A at Station 16 +700; C20.B at Station 16 +900; and C20.0 at Station 17 +100. Three other culverts will be replaced with the same diameter and lengthened between 7.4 to 7.9 metres maximum at C20 at Station 16 +645, C20.1 at Station 16 +930; C21 at Station17 +030 in the Regulated Area. Two of the culverts (C20 and C21) are located within a Regional Storm Floodplain. On Leslie Street north of Bloomington Road one culvert will be replaced and lengthened by 4.3 metres at L1 at Station 7 +123 in a Regulated Area. The project was reviewed by TRCA staff during the Environmental Assessment process. Control of Flooding: The diameters of the 4 replacement culverts will remain the same, only the length will be changed to accommodate the road widening, therefore, staff does not anticipate any concerns with the hydraulic functioning of the culverts. Fill placement will be minimized within the Regional Storm Floodplain with this infrastructure project and staff does not anticipate concerns with loss of storage or conveyance. Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (rock check dams, silt fence, coffer dams) will be implemented to ensure that the construction - generated sediments do not enter the watercourse. The proposed stormwater management controls are acceptable. Drainage from all of the outfalls /culverts will be receiving as much treatment as possible through appropriately sized oil -grit separators, existing stormwater management ponds, and /or grassed ditches. Dynamic Beaches: The project is not located on the shore of Lake Ontario, therefore, there will be no implications to dynamic beaches. Erosion: There will be no slope stability issues related to the works. 348 Conservation of Land: There will be in stream works associated with this project. Two watercourses (C20 and C21) will be temporarily altered in order to work in the dry to facilitate the culvert removals and replacements. With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and Letter of Advice #2 will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The proposed works will impact no significant terrestrial resource features. The proponent has provided an Environmental Impact Assessment which indicates how the detailed design of the project will mitigate the impacts to the existing wetland. 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 and to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan.

In order to remove the standing and stagnant water it is proposed that the watercourse within the two lots be graded in order to increase the slope traversed by the watercourse and thereby encourage the movement of water downstream. A sub drain is proposed beneath the watercourse to further enhance the drainage of standing water. As the watercourse enters a culvert to the south of the properties, existing terrafix blocks are proposed to be replaced with riverstone. Control of Flooding: The proposed works will not have an impact upon the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: A sediment and erosion control plan has been prepared as part of the proposal which will isolate down stream areas with a sediment curtain. The contractor is to use small equipment to minimize disturbance to the area and will be limited to the watercourse and areas immediately adjacent to it. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable 353 Erosion: There are no slope stability or erosion issues associated 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). In- water /near -water works will proceed during the cold -water timing window of June 15 to September 15. Plantings A restoration plan has been prepared as part of the proposal. The plan provides for the planting of the watercourse with shrubs and grasses. Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Note #1 to Policy 3.3 - Policies and Procedures for Identifying Watercourses and Alterations- of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The permit will be issued for the period of June 1, 2007 to May 31, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Mr. Gaetano Franco, Castlepoint Investments, dated May 16, 2007, received May 22, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal The proposal is to temporarily /permanently place, dump or remove material, conduct site grading, construct a structure within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain of the East Don River and alter a watercourse, in order to re -grade a ditch and connect two existing culverts, as part of servicing works for related Site Plan Application DA.07.016. The subject works are located on the south side of Teston Road, immediately west of Bathurst Street, in the City of Vaughan. The lands are also located within Planning Block 12 and are part of the approved Block 12 Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP). A commercial plaza including a two - storey office building is proposed on the lands subject to the associated site plan application. TRCA technical staff attended a site walk of the subject site and had observed that an intermittent watercourse traverses the northeast corner of the site. A culvert crosses Teston Road in a southeasterly direction, conveying intermittent flows into a ditch area. This ditch is approximately 15 metres in length. Another culvert then conveys these flows across Bathurst Street. The proposed works will result in the enclosure of approximately 15 metres of the intermittent channel. However, it is noted that the channel is currently piped a minimum of 150 metres to an outlet to the tributary east of Bathurst Street. TRCA technical staff has noted that the impact to fish habitat is minor as this area provides a limited indirect function. These impacts can be mitigated through a riparian habitat enhancement plan which is required as part of this permit application. Control of Flooding: The intermittent channel drains an area of less than 50 hectares and there is no Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with this channel. As such, there is no impact to the control of flooding for this area. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be erected around the perimeter of the work site and maintained for the duration of construction to ensure that sediment does not enter the watercourse. 371 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. TRCA technical staff is satisfied that the proposed impacts to fish habitat can be mitigated through a comprehensive restoration plan downstream of the site. As such, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Plantings Minimal vegetation removal will be required as part of the enclosure of the ditch. However, a comprehensive restoration plan is to be provided as part of the permit application in order to enhance riparian habitat downstream. Policy Guidelines: This 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: 381 Proposal: This permit is one of two being considered at this Executive Committee meeting relating to a proposed stormwater management pond, and associated outfall, within the West Cathedral lands, located between Major Mackenzie Drive and Elgin Mills, and between Highway 404 and Woodbine Avenue in the Town of Markham. This permit is to allow for the construction of a stormwater management pond on the subject lands. A permit application for the associated stormwater management pond (which is located on the adjacent lands owned by Fieldgate Developments) is also being brought forward under CFN 39144. Two branches of Carleton Creek (a tributary of the Rouge River) traverse the West Cathedral lands in Markham. In accordance with the Environmental Servicing Master Plan (ESMP) completed for the area, the proposed pond will form the headwaters of the West Branch of Carleton Creek as the West Cathedral community develops. The proposed pond has been designed to accommodate stormwater flows from the subject property, in addition to lands directly to the north, in accordance with that plan. TRCA staff have reviewed the proposed pond, and have confirmed that it is in keeping with what was envisioned in the ESMP. Through the ESMP planning process, it was agreed that the stormwater management ponds within Phase 2 of the West Cathedral development would incorporate measures to better replicate the existing (pre - development) groundwater flows. A system of this nature is proposed with the subject pond, as a component of this permit, which is to enhance the thermal and baseflow maintenance qualities of the pond with respect to its outflow into West Carleton Creek. The TRCA Executive Committee approved (at the September 8, 2006 meeting) a temporary stormwater management pond and outfall in the location that is proposed by this permit for the permanent pond. Control of Flooding: In accordance with the ESMP, the proposed stormwater management pond will form the headwaters of the West Branch of Carleton Creek, once surrounding lands are developed. As such, while the proposed pond is presently partially located within the Regional Storm floodplain, with the revised storm drainage patterns that will result from surrounding development, the proposed pond has been designed such that it will not adversely affect the storage or conveyance of flood waters associated with this tributary.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 386 Proposal: The proposal involves the construction of a new two storey dwelling measuring 1644 square metres including a walkout basement, attached five -car garage, pool and pool house, detached carport, on -site landscaping features and new private sewage disposal system. In addition, the owners are also proposing to construct an accessory garage measuring 198 square metres to be located in the front yard. Access to the property is proposed from one primary entrance and one secondary entrance from the 16th Sideroad. The property is zoned "Oak Ridges Moraine Feature Protection" (ORMFP) and "Oak Ridges Moraine Natural Core and Linkage" (ORMNCL) by Zoning By -law #74 -53, as amended by the Oak Ridges Moraine Zoning Conformity By -law 2005 -23. There are no Key Natural Heritage Features in proximity to the proposed development envelope. The site plan respects the key natural heritage feature boundaries delineated by LGL in the Natural Heritage Screening, the proposed development should not have a negative impact on the natural features. In order to ensure minimal negative impacts, the mitigation measures recommended in the LGL report should be followed. The TRCA has an interest in conserving, protecting, and enhancing the natural features of the Oak Ridges Moraine. TRCA staff are satisfied with the proposed location of the two storey dwelling with walkout basement, garage, pool and pool house, detached carport and new private sewage disposal system and TRCA staff do not anticipate negative impact to the ORMCP area. However given that municipalities are the designated approval authority under the Oak Ridges Moraine Act, the Township has the responsibility to ensure any planning applications required for the proposed development conform to the provisions of the ORMCP. Control of Flooding: The development will not be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. As such, there will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained during construction to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent valley system. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the development. Conservation of Land: 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. 387 Plantings The proposed works will not affect any significant natural features. All disturbed areas will be restored to existing conditions upon completion of the project. All additional plantings will consist of native non - invasive species. A detailed landscape plan has been submitted to the satisfaction of the TRCA. Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2 of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to alter a watercourse, construct, site grade, and place /remove fill /material within a regulated area and regional storm floodplain for works including a sanitary sewage pumping station, sanitary sewers, forcemain, and sanitary overflow sewer in King City. The permit will be issued for the period of June 1, 2007 to May 31, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking to provide revisions to the engineering drawings and to address TRCA comments, all to the satisfaction of TRCA; prepared by the Township of King; dated May 23, 2007; received by TRCA May 28, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: Pumping Station The Keele Street pumping station is proposed to be constructed within a regulated area on the north side of the McClure Drive Easement, west of Keele Street. The proponent will provide an emergency overflow for the pumping station in order to protect the nearby residential areas from sewage back -up in the event of complete failure of the Keele Street Pumping Station. The overflow will be into the existing culvert that crosses Keele Street. The overflow is located in a sanitary manhole upstream of the pumping station. Based on the local topography, the only available outlet for an emergency overflow for the Keele Street pumping station is the East Humber River via the existing 9.22 metre (m) x 5.46 m corrugated steel pipe arch culvert located approximately 30 m south of the proposed pumping station. The overflow will be via a 300 millimetre diameter pipe extending from the proposed Manhole (MH) 602B to the existing culvert, the overflow pipe will be sized to handle the ultimate peak design flow of the pumping station which is 64 litres /second. To reduce the risk of complete failure of the pumping station a number of contingency features have been included in the design of the station. 396 A check valve will be installed to prevent the inflow of water into the sewer system in the event of a storm. The check valve will be a "duck- billed" type and will be installed in a separate manhole, between the sanitary manhole and the culvert on Keele Street. This will protect the valve from siltation and debris and allow for easier maintenance. Should the culvert require replacement, the check valve will not be affected. From the check valve manhole, a pipe will connect the overflow to the culvert. Sanitary Sewer Sanitary sewers (200 to 375 millimetre in diameter) and associated manholes will be constructed via open trench methods in Contract Area 6A1 (Keele Street, East Humber Drive) connecting to the proposed pumping station located on the McClure Drive Easement. A portion of the sewers are located within the floodplain and regulated area on Keele Street and East Humber Drive. There are two watercourse crossings whereby the sanitary sewer will be constructed by open trench methods above existing culverts which will act as flumes during construction. One crossing is on Humber East Drive west of Keele Street and the other crossing is on Keele Street north of East Humber Drive, south of the proposed pumping station location. Forcemain A forcemain (250 millimetre in diameter) will be constructed via open trench methods in Contract Area 6A1 (Keele Street, East Humber Drive, McClure Drive Easement), partially within the floodplain and regulated area, that will pump sewage from the proposed pumping station south to the proposed MH600B which will lead to existing MH5A. There are two watercourse crossings whereby the sanitary sewer will be constructed by open trench methods above existing culverts which will act as flumes during construction. One crossing is on Humber East Drive west of Keele Street and the other crossing is on Keele Street north of East Humber Drive, south of the proposed pumping station location. Road Restoration Roads will be reconstructed following open cut construction. Dewatering Any required groundwater dewatering will be monitored throughout construction and mitigation measures implemented in accordance with the required Environmental Management Plan. Landowner Authorization Note that Keele Street is a Region of York right -of -way. Landowner Authorization will be obtained from York Region prior to permit issuance. Environmental Assessment The King City Sanitary Sewer project was reviewed by TRCA staff during the Environmental Assessment process. Control of Flooding: The storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be impacted by the proposed works. 397 Pollution: Standard sediment and erosion control measures 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 features. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: 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). Works associated with the watercourse crossings will be completed during the cold -water fisheries timing window of July 1 to September 15. 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. This project has been reviewed for the tests and best management practices described in section 41(5)(a to e) of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and complies with the Greenbelt Plan. All watercourses on the Oak Ridges Moraine have been identified as hydrologically sensitive features. There are two watercourse crossings within the project limits. 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) .

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 542 Proposal: In order to meet the projected sanitary sewerage servicing requirements of the York Durham Sewage System (YDSS) the Regions of Durham and York completed an Environmental Assessment (EA), "Provision of Additional Capacity at the Duffins Creek Water Pollution Control Plant - Schedule C Class Environmental Assessment" which was filed in September 2006 with the comment period ending on October 23, 2006. The preferred solution is to expand the Duffins Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. Site preparation works for the Stage 3 Expansion were conditionally approved as part of 2 separate permits in October 2006 - CFN 38202 and March 2007 - CFN 38855. The two aforementioned permits were issued in July 2007. The next phase of the work involves the initiation of the expansion. The Liquid Module Contract includes the following works: • construction of primary clarifiers, aeration tanks, secondary clarifiers (partially within regulated wetland interference limit) • construction of disinfection facility • construction of effluent channel which will connect to the existing effluent outlet. Works will involve an open cut crossing of the east -west watercourse that drains into the existing stormwater management pond. The open cut will be completed "in the dry" using dam and pump methodology • site servicing including storm sewer pipes directed to the existing stormwater management pond from both the east and west side of the existing stormwater management pond. An outfall with a headwall will be constructed and outlet to the watercourse re- aligned as part of the site preparation contract, on the west side of the existing stormwater management pond • retrofits to the existing Stormwater Management Pond on site • placement of temporary stockpile locations for excavated material, and construction laydown areas (partially within regulated wetland interference limit) • site grading, placement /removal of fill /material within the regulated wetland interference limit and waterfront regulation limit. Further design details will be reviewed by TRCA staff under separate permits. It has been agreed by TRCA and the Regions that enhancements to the site would be incorporated into the overall project by teaming with TRCA to design and construct a new wetland and berming system in accordance with the overall "Greening and Biodiversity Concept Plan" which is being developed in consultation with the TRCA and the City of Pickering. Due to time constraints, the above mentioned works need to proceed prior to completion of detailed landscaping and restoration plans. The Regions have submitted a Letter of Commitment to TRCA which outlines their commitment to work with the TRCA to design and construct the new wetland and berming system, to prepare and submit permit applications and detailed drawings to the TRCA for review and comment for each stage of construction and to address all concerns and issues that TRCA identifies. The letter also commits to asses the disturbance to and removal of all existing vegetation carried out at all stages of construction (i.e. under permits relating to TRCA CFN 38202, 38855 and this permit) to ensure that all vegetation disturbance and removal is compensated for and that a net environmental enhancement is achieved to the satisfaction of TRCA through the Greening and Biodiversity Plan. 543 The Regions have also submitted to TRCA an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to describe the methods for mitigating environmental impacts for the construction and operation of the expanded Duffins Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP). These methods will be implemented prior to, during, and post construction as required to mitigate potential impacts on all components of the environment including natural, social and technical components. In addition to the mitigation measures, the Regions are committed to a detailed program aimed at monitoring for compliance with the EMP. Control of Flooding: The storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be impacted by the proposed works.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading, temporarily or permanently place, dump or removal any material within a Regulated Area and to alter a tributary of the Humber River, in order to conduct grading and construct temporary sediment ponds and outfalls, in order to facilitate servicing works for Planning Block 39, in the City of Vaughan. Planning Block 39 is bounded by Pine Valley Drive to the west, Major Mackenzie Drive to the north, Weston Road to the east and to the south by Rutherford Road. Generally, the southern portion of Block 39 has been developed with single - family residential dwellings. Development has for the most part been on hold in the block for several years as the Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) for Block 39 has been undergoing updates. This update was completed in 2006 and the Block is now ready to proceed for development. The temporary sediment ponds and outfall structures will capture storm and sediment runoff associated with preliminary grading works for the proposed subdivisions in Planning Block 39. Seven temporary sediment ponds are proposed for this area. Given that several ponds are to be constructed for the subject lands, the drainage area for each of these ponds is considered small. These ponds have been designed in accordance with the TRCA's Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban Construction (December 2006). TRCA staff is working in conjunction with the Block 39 Landowners Group in implementing an erosion and sediment control pilot project where different methods and controls are to be implemented and monitored. This will help determine what controls are most effective in reducing erosion associated with topsoil stripping and lead to updates in construction practices relating to erosion control measures. This pilot project will be carried out in several phases. A separate erosion and sediment control plan will be commissioned for each stage of development. The subject permit is for Phase I works - topsoil stripping works on the property. Revisions to this permit will be made for subsequent phases of development on the site. Control of Flooding: TRCA Water Management staff has reviewed the submitted technical drawings and associated modeling and flow calculations and notes that the storage and conveyance of flood waters will not be negatively impacted by the proposed works. Pollution: An extensive erosion and sediment control plan has been submitted for the subject lands, which will minimize the transportation of sediment into the valleys and watercourses on Block 39. 560 Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: Flow calculations and modeling for the proposed ponds have shown that erosion problems downstream will be minimal. In addition, the implementation of the aforementioned sediment and erosion control measures will minimize erosion on the site. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. To account for the indirect discharge of treated stormwater flows from the temporary sediment ponds into nearby watercourses, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Plantings Plantings are not proposed as part of this phase of servicing. However, future phases will involve innovative measures to control erosion on site including row seeding and hydroseeding of the site. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The proposed works form part of servicing infrastructure which will facilitate the development of the adjacent Sobey's warehouse, in Planning Blocks 57/58 West, in the City of Vaughan. The permit will be issued for the period of August 10, 2007 to August 9, 2009 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Huntington Road Extension - Huntington Road, Drawing No. P -1 B, prepared by Urban Ecosystems Limited, Revision No. 2 (revised July 18, 2007), received July 23, 2007; • Huntington Road Extension - Street 'A' /Street 'C', Drawing No. P -3B, prepared by Urban Ecosystems Limited, Revision No. 2 (revised July 18, 2007), received July 23, 2007; • Huntington Road Extension - Grading Plan, Drawing No. G -5B, prepared by Urban Ecosystems Limited, Revision No. 3 (revised July 18, 2007), received July 23, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain and alter a tributary of the Humber River (West Rainbow Creek), in order to remove and replace an existing culvert under Huntington Road. The proposed works are required in order to install servicing infrastructure (water and sanitary sewer) under Huntington Road which will service the development of the adjacent Sobey's warehouse. The subject site is located approximately 300 metres south of Langstaff Road, on Huntington Road, in Planning Blocks 58/58 West and owned by the City of Vaughan. However, the subject works will be conducted by Sobey's. The existing culvert currently conveys intermittent flows draining from an ill- defined watercourse west of Huntington Road. These flows are then discharged to the east into a tributary of the Humber River, eventually reaching the West Rainbow Creek valley, which is located approximately 1 kilometre east of the subject work site. The proposed works involve the removal of a 1200 mm culvert steel pipe traversing west -east under Huntington Road. In order to install water /sanitary sewer lines under Huntington Road, it is necessary to remove the culvert in order to prevent a collapse of this structure. Once the servicing infrastructure is completed, the same -sized culvert will be re- installed under Huntington Road. Given that the watercourse is intermittent and has been noted to be dry during the summer months, impacts to the watercourse are expected to be minimal. Nonetheless, a dam, pump by -pass plan has been provided as a contingency. Should there be flows in the watercourse, a coffer dam will be erected and flows will then be pumped around the work site. TRCA ecology staff has reviewed the proposed work plan and is satisfied that the impacts from the works will be minimal. However, any possible impacts to the watercourse will be mitigated through the proposed pump by -pass contingency plan. 563 It is noted that this culvert will remain on a temporary basis until related works associated with the restoration of the nearby watercourse are completed. The restoration works were reviewed and conditionally approved as part of Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit application 335 /07/VAUG (CFN 39315) at the July 6, 2007 Executive Committee Meeting. At this time, TRCA staff is continuing to work with the applicant on outstanding ecological issues. However, authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will also be required for these works. Issuance of the TRCA permit will be deferred until such time as the DFO approval is in place. Once approved, the subject culvert will be abandoned and flows re- directed through an enlarged culvert further south. Flows from the watercourse will then be discharged to the restored natural channel. Control of Flooding: The proposed works will not result in negative impacts to the storage or conveyance of flood waters as the culvert size will not change. Furthermore, the works are to be conducted in the dry. Pollution: Sediment control measures will be erected around the work site and around the coffer dam (if required) and maintained for the duration of the works. This will ensure that sediment will not be discharged into the nearby watercourse and stream corridor. 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. TRCA ecology staff has reviewed the subject application and associated technical drawings and is satisfied that there will be minimal impacts to the watercourse and fish habitat. As such, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of DFO. Plantings No plantings will form part of the subject works as vegetation removal will be minimal. Nonetheless, an extensive landscape plan will form part of the associated application to restore the nearby watercourse.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal The proposal is to site grade, develop, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain and alter a tributary of the Rouge, River, in order to construct a storm sewer outfall. The proposed works will facilitate the development of Phase III for the Cornell Rouge residential subdivision, in the Town of Markham. The proposed works are located north of Avenue 7 (formerly known as Highway # 7), east of Cornell Centre Boulevard (formerly known as Old Markham By- Pass), within the Cornell Community. These servicing works are required in order to fulfill a condition of draft approval for the related Draft Plan of Subdivision application for Phase III. The subject works involve the construction of a storm sewer outfall which will convey stormwater flows from the Cornell Rouge lands into an existing permanent man -made channel (Tributary C channel). The permanent channel was constructed in order to convey flows south towards Avenue 7 and into an existing stormwater facility located south of Avenue 7 (Tributary C stormwater management pond). Previously, Tributaries A,B and C of the Little Rouge River were located on the Cornell Rouge property and on surrounding lands within the Cornell Community. The removal of these watercourses and the construction of three on -line stormwater management ponds (Tributary A, B, and C SWM pond) within Cornell were authorized by Fisheries and Oceans and Canada (DFO) as part of Fisheries Act Authorization #52 -1342 (1999). As compensation for the loss of fish habitat, the construction of the Milne Reservoir Fishway was approved and undertaken in the Town of Markham. With respect to Tributary C, a permanent channel was to be constructed which would replace the function of conveying flows from upstream and discharging them to the Tributary C SWM pond. Additionally, the construction of the Tributary C channel and associated SWM facility were previously approved by the TRCA's Executive Committee Meeting on August 6, 2004 and November 5, 2004 (Permit No. C -04404 and C- 05010). This channel along with the Tributary C SWM Pond have now been constructed and will receive flows from the outfall proposed. 571 It is noted that the proposed outfall will be temporary in nature. The location and drainage area for the outfall is consistent with the approved Stormwater Management Report for Tributary C. Ultimately, a road crossing will be constructed which will traverse over the channel and a new storm outfall will be connected to this crossing. The proposed crossing will be constructed in the future and will require a separate permit approval. Once a permit application has been submitted for these future works, TRCA staff will review the submission to ensure that the channel is not impacted and the storage and conveyance of flood flows is not impeded. Control of Flooding: The TRCA's Water Management Engineer has reviewed the submitted plans and is satisfied that the proposed outfall will not impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters. It is noted that the existing channel was designed and constructed to convey the Regional and 100 year storm event. Pollution: Erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented prior to construction and maintained for the duration of the works to ensure that sediment does not enter the adjacent channel. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: Rip rap is to be placed at the inlet of the permanent channel to prevent erosion. Further, erosion and sediment controls previously noted will minimize the amount of sediment entering the channel /watercourse corridor.

The permit will be issued for the period of August 10, 2007 to August 9, 2009 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Site Plan, dated July 24, 2005, prepared by Preston Construction, received August 30, 2006; • Cross Section, dated August 14, 2006, prepared by Preston Consulting, received August 30, 2006; • Landscape Plan, dated June 2007, prepared by Ronald S. Fischer, received July 9, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of the rehabilitation of two ponds located at the front of the subject property. This property is subject to an Ontario Regulation 166/06 violation as the works were started without a permit. The majority of the works consist of the dredging of these two ponds as they have very high levels of sediment. TRCA's mapping showed these ponds as part of the natural system. Technical staff concluded, after a site visit, that these ponds were no longer part of the Rouge River system because they are off -line. Notwithstanding, the ponds still have an associated flood plain and are still subject to TRCA's regulation. Through the works having been started and with the approval of this permit, the dredging will provide more flood storage and result in a net gain. Control of Flooding: The ponds are located within the Regulatory Flood Plain of the Rouge River. Through the dredging and removal of a large amount of sediment from the pond, the works will increase flood storage on site. Pollution: Appropriate sediment controls will be maintained throughout the duration of the construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no geo- technical issues associated with these works. 580 Conservation of Land: The proposal consists of dredging the pond only. Original grades will be maintained and the area around the pond will be planted with native species according to TRCA's guidelines. Plantings Plantings will be in accordance with TRCA's guidelines.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 581 Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to erect a structure and permanently place fill material within the Regional Storm Flood Plain of a tributary to the Berczy Creek and alter the watercourse in order to construct a bridge to service an internal road for a new industrial subdivision. The subdivision and proposed bridge are located within headwaters of the Rouge River watershed in Gormley, Whitchurch- Stouffville, southeast of the intersection of Stouffville Road and Woodbine Avenue. The works will involve the removal of an existing corrugated steel pipe and the construction of a road embankment, concrete wing walls and a 2.79metre wide conspan bridge system. The new bridge will convey an intermittent tributary of the Berczy Creek and represents an improvement over the existing culvert originally established as part of a farm lane. Control of Flooding: The road embankment and bridge structure will be constructed within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. TRCA Water Resource engineers have reviewed the proposal and are satisfied that the proposed works will adequately convey the Regional Storm Flood Plain without increasing floodlines upstream of the new road crossing. Pollution: A sediment and erosion control plan has been prepared in support of the application. 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. In water or near water works are proposed to be undertaken in a low or no flow situation so that diversion of flows from the watercourse will not be required. However, as a contingency, a water diversion detail has been agreed upon between TRCA staff and the proponent. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical or slope stability issues associated with the proposed crossing. Conservation of Land: There are no significant natural heritage features at the location of the crossing. Planting plans, approved as part of the plan of subdivision and a previous permit application for the stormwater management ponds as part of the subdivision, have provided planting plans for the valleylands surrounding the bridge location. Any potential for a harmful disruption or destruction of fish habitat has been mitigated through measures provided for on the plans in support of the application including the requirement that works take place within the Coldwater Fisheries Timing Window. Accordingly, a Letter of Advice /Operational Statement will be issued by TRCA staff on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Ocean's Canada pursuant to the requirements of TRCA's Level III agreement with the Fisheries Act (Canada). Plantings Planting plans have been prepared for the surrounding area as part of the plan of subdivision approval process. 582 Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal The applicant seeks permission to undertake works within the Regulated Area associated with an area of interference of a wetland and alter a watercourse in order to construct a stormwater management pond. This proposed stormwater management pond is one of two proposals to be considered by the Executive Committed at this time for the same development. The stormwater management pond is part of a large residential subdivision at the southern boundary of the community of Stouffville, east of Ninth Line, known as Lebovic Country Walk. 583 The proposed stormwater pond is not immediately adjacent to a watercourse. As a result, stormwater from this pond is to be discharged into an outfall channel which will convey stormwater to the Little Rouge Creek, approximately 350 metres north and west of the pond location. The channel works are not included as part of this proposal but are included as part of the second application to be considered by the Executive Committee at this time. TRCA staff have reviewed the detailed engineering plans for the pond and are satisfied with the proposed design. Control of Flooding: TRCA water resource engineers have reviewed the detailed design of the pond and are satisfied that the design detains and conveys stormwater adequately. Pollution: The proposed stormwater management pond has been designed to treat stormwater to the Ministry of the Environment's 'Level 1 Enhanced' criteria for stormwater management facilities. Sediment and erosion control measures are included on the design drawings and are to be in place during construction to ensure that sedimentation of the surrounding environmental features does not take place. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: Geotechnical and hydrogeological aspects of the design of the stormwater management pond have been addressed by the inclusion of a requirement that a 1 metre thick clay liner is to be installed based upon the permeability of the surrounding soils during construction. Conservation of Land: The proposed works are adjacent to two Oak Ridges Moraine wetlands and are within the 'area of interference' for the purposes of Ontario Regulation 166/06. However, the works, and areas to be disturbed, are not directly within the wetlands. The proposed works are not located within any significant natural heritage features. Staff will issue a Letter of Advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) with this permit as any impacts to fish habitat can be mitigated. Plantings A detailed planting plan has been prepared for the stormwater management to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. The planting plan provides for nearly 2000 aquatic plants, nearly 2000 shrubs and over 300 trees.

To alter a watercourse on Lot 19, Concession 2, at Crossing 'C' - East Don River, Block 11, in the City of Vaughan, Don River Watershed as located on the property owned by Block 11 Properties Inc. The purpose is to alter a tributary of the Don River, in order to restore the stream channel by removing accumulated gravel and sediment from the channel bed at Crossing 'C', within Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. The permit will be issued for the period of August 10, 2007 to August 9, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Jill Attwood, Groundwater Environmental Management Services Inc., dated July 30, 2007, received July 30, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 606 Proposal: The proposal is to alter a watercourse in order to carry out restorative works on the East Don River, a tributary of the Don River, within Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. A pump by -pass system and vacuum of non - native material is proposed as part of the subject application. This will remove accumulated gravel and sediment from the channel bed. This accumulation of material is a result of upstream and adjacent works needed to construct the culvert crossing and to service the development of the residential subdivisions in the immediate vicinity. Planning Block 11 is bounded by Bathurst Street to the east, Major Mackenzie Drive to the north, Dufferin Street to the west and the south by Rutherford Road. Crossing 'C' is located within draft approved plan of subdivision 19T -04V05 (Lindvest Properties (Bathurst Mackenzie Limited)), located to the southwest of Dufferin Street and Major Mackenzie Drive. Previously, a related Ontario Regulation 158 permit application for culvert crossing 'C' was approved at the May 6, 2005 Executive Committee and issued that same day (Permit No. C- 05251). To address the deposition of sediment in the watercourse due to construction activity, the proponent has retained technical staff to provide a restoration plan for the subject area. This includes a coffer dam /pump by -pass system to prepare the channel for sediment removal with a vacuum truck. Work will be also be conducted by hand in the watercourse. The temporary by -pass of the channel will enable this work to be completed in the dry and thereby minimize the disturbance to the watercourse. Flow will be diverted for the period that sediment removal will take place (approximately 12 hours). Sediment will be removed using the vacuum truck. Flow will be restored to the watercourse once the sediment removal has been completed. Prior to the isolation of the work area, the proponent's technical consultants (qualified fisheries biologist) will conduct a fish rescue and relocate fish downstream of the work site. Control of Flooding: The proposed pump by -pass system is sized to convey existing flows within the watercourse. The proposed works are temporary in nature, as such, the storage or conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted. Pollution: Further sedimentation of the watercourse is not expected given that the stretch of the watercourse will be isolated. To reduce the opportunity for sediment to enter the watercourse, filter fabric will be installed at the outlet of the pump by -pass. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: Erosion on the site will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned measures. 607 Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated within the subject works. Given the nature of the work, specifically the need to conduct in -water works, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Plantings Vegetation removal is not required as part of this application. However, a comprehensive planting plan will be implemented as part of the construction of Crossing 'C'. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.2.2(F) - Opportunities for Regeneration, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

To alter a watercourse on Lot 19, Concession 2, southwest of Major Mackenzie Drive 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 alter a tributary of the East Don River, in order to restore the stream channel by removing accumulated gravel and sediment from the channel bed at the location of the outfall for Stormwater Management Pond # 2, within Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. The permit will be issued for the period of August 10, 2007 to August 9, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Jill Attwood, Groundwater Environmental Management Services Inc., dated July 30, 2007, received July 30, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to alter a watercourse in order to conduct restorative works on a tributary of the Don River (East Don River) at the location of the outfall for Stormwater Management Pond (SWM) # 2, within Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. Previously, the accumulation of gravel and sediment occurred at the subject site following a storm event and the failure of erosion and sediment controls at the SWM outlet. 608 The subject site is located at the outfall for SWM Pond # 2; this facility is located within draft approved plan of subdivision 19T -04V05 (Lindvest Properties (Bathurst Mackenzie Limited)). Planning Block 11 is bounded by Major Mackenzie Drive to the north, to the east by Bathurst Street, Rutherford Road to the south and to the west by Dufferin Street. The area affected by the deposited sediment measures approximately 36 square metres with a depth of 15 centimetres. It is noted that an associated permit application for SWM Pond # 2 and outfall were approved at the TRCA's Executive Committee Meeting on May 6, 2005 (Permit No. C- 05395) . In order to carry out the proposed works, a sand bag flume system will be implemented. This flume will redirect stream flow toward the west side of the channel, leaving the sediment deposit in the dry. This will permit clean -up of the area with minimal impacts to the watercourse and surrounding vegetation. It is expected the works will be completed within 12 hours. Once flow has been diverted from the work area, a vacuum truck will be used to remove the sediment with workers assisting with hand tools, as necessary. No equipment will be used in the active stream channel itself. Following completion of the works, monitoring of the site will occur; to ensure that the channel is free of non - native material and that there is no erosion or sediment transport into the watercourse. Control of Flooding: The sand bag flume system will be in place for a short period of time in order to facilitate the clean -up effort. As such, the storage or conveyance of floods waters is not expected to be negatively impacted. Pollution: Erosion and sediment controls are currently in place as part of the grading works associated with the development of the SWM pond and surrounding lands in Block 11. The erosion and control measures on site were strengthened after the initial failure which lead to the deposition of sediment. These measures will be monitored during the works and reinforced /supplemented where necessary. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: Sedimentation of the watercourse will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned erosion and sediment control measures. Additionally, as noted above, once clean -up of the sediment has been completed, monitoring will take place to ensure that further sediment transport does not occur. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Given the nature of the works, specifically the need to install a sand bag flume system within the watercourse, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). 609 Plantings No vegetation will be removed as part of the proposed works. However, a comprehensive landscape planting plan is to be implemented as part of the associated approval for SWM Pond # 2 and the outfall area. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.2.2(F) - Opportunities for Regeneration, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

To alter a watercourse on Lot 16, Concession 2, west of Bathurst Street and north of Rutherford Road, in the City of Vaughan, Don River Watershed as located on the property owned by Block 11 Properties Inc. The purpose is to alter a tributary of the Don River, in order to restore the stream channel by removing accumulated gravel and sediment from the stream bed and to re- construct /stabilize a collapsed portion of the east bank of the watercourse, at Bridge Crossing 'A', within Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. The permit will be issued for the period of August 10, 2007 to August 9, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Jill Attwood, Groundwater Environmental Management Services Inc., dated July 30, 2007, received July 30, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to alter a watercourse in order to carry out restorative works on a tributary of the Don River (East Don River), within Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. The subject works are located near Bridge Crossing 'A', within a draft approved plan of subdivision 19T -95062 (Woodvalley Developments) in Block 11. Planning Block 11 is bounded by Rutherford Road to the south, Dufferin Street to the east, Major Mackenzie Drive to the north and Bathurst Street to the east. Previously, a permit application under Ontario Regulation 158 was approved by the TRCA's Executive Committee on April 5, 2005 for the construction of Bridge Crossing 'A' (Permit No. C- 05196). 610 The proposed works consists of two components; the first involves the implementation of a pump by -pass system to facilitate the restoration of the original stream channel by removing accumulated gravel and sediment from the stream bed. The initial deposition of sediment was caused by the failure of a portion (approximately 5 metres) of the east bank of the watercourse. In order to isolate the work area, a small coffer dam of sand and pea gravel bags will be placed on the stream bed, upstream of the bank failure. Flows from the watercourse will be pumped around the work site and into the channel downstream. Flows will be regulated to match existing conditions and will be sized to convey higher flow events. Flows will be diverted long enough for completion of the restoration works which is estimated to be three days. Removal of sediment will be accomplished with the use of a mini - excavator that will access the site from the east bank. Vegetation in this area had been removed in the past to accommodate the construction of Bridge Crossing 'A'. The second portion of the works involves the restoration of the failed stream bank. This will be accomplished through the implementation of bioengineering measures on the site; thereby providing a long -term solution for the restoration efforts at this site. Bank support will be achieved through the placement of large boulders at the toe of the bank with a mini - excavator and inter - planting with dormant vegetation (Le., large willow posts and live stakes). This will provide the necessary physical support to shore up this bank and provide stabilization. Future vegetation growth in the area will bind the soils in place. Additionally, native or coir logs are to be placed along the bank toe and dormant posts are to be planted behind these logs and up the adjacent slope. It is noted once the work area is isolated, a qualified fisheries biologist will remove and relocate fish, as required. Additionally, machinery will not enter the watercourse and will work exclusively on the east bank; therefore minimizing the impacts to the channel and fish habitat. Control of Flooding: The proposed coffer dam will be temporary in nature. In addition, the bank works will restore the area to its condition prior to the bank failure. This is expected to have minimal impact to the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented prior to the initiation of works and maintained for the duration of the project to ensure that further sediment is not transported into the watercourse and downstream. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: Erosion on site will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned erosion and sediment control measures. 611 Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Given the nature of the in -water works, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Plantings No vegetation removal will take place for these restoration works. However, extensive plantings will be implemented as part of the related approval for the development of Bridge Crossing 'A'. Additionally, live stakes will be planted for the bank stabilization effort. 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 permit will be issued for the period of August 10, 2007 to August 9, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Jill Attwood, Groundwater Environmental Management Services Inc., dated July 30, 2007, received July 30, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to alter a watercourse in order to carry out restorative works on the west branch of the East Don River, a tributary of the Don River, within Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan. The proposed works involve the installation of a temporary pump by -pass system within the watercourse, to facilitate the removal of accumulated gravel and sediment from the stream bed. This deposition of material occurred as a direct result of a significant rainfall event during construction and dewatering activities for the adjacent construction of culvert crossing 'E' (conspan wing walls). 612 The subject site is located within draft approved plan of subdivision 19T -05V11 (Alice Smith) in Planning Block 11. Block 11 is bounded by Bathurst Street to the east, Rutherford Road to the south, to the west by Dufferin Street and Major Mackenzie Drive to the north. A related Ontario Regulation 158 permit application for culvert crossing 'E' was approved at the May 6, 2005 Executive Committee meeting (Permit No. C- 05252). To carry out the proposed works, a coffer dam /pump by -pass system will be implemented, whereby the work site will be isolated from the watercourse and work conducted in the dry (approximately 35 metres of the watercourse is to be remediated). The small coffer dam will be constructed with sand and pea gravel bags and placed on the stream bed. Flows will be conveyed downstream through pumps, which have been sized to handle existing and 2 year peak flows. Flows will be diverted for a period of approximately 12 hours, which will permit the completion of the sediment removal. Removal will be conducted with a vacuum truck and with hand tools in the channel. A qualified fisheries biologist will be on hand to perform any necessary fish relocation /removal as a result of the proposed isolation of the work area. Control of Flooding: The proposed pump by -pass system will convey existing and 2 -year peak flows on a temporary basis. As such, the storage and conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted. Pollution: To reduce the potential for sediment to be transported downstream, filter fabric will be installed at the outlet of the pump by -pass system. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: Through the application of the aforementioned measures, sediment transport through the watercourse will be minimized. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues with the proposed works. Given that in -water works will take place, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Plantings Vegetation removal will not take place for the subject application. However, a comprehensive restoration planting plan will be implemented as part of the associated approved works for the installation of culvert crossing 'E'.

The purpose is to construct a five - storey office building and associated parking area in a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed at 430 Applewood Crescent in the City of Vaughan. The permit will be issued for the period of August 10, 2007 to August 9, 2009. • A Letter of Undertaking has been promised by the applicant, but was not available at the time this report was finalized. The Letter of Undertaking will be provided prior to the Executive Committee meeting on August 10, 2007. A permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 will not be issued and work shall not be undertaken on the property until the Letter of Undertaking and final drawings have been submitted and approved by the TRCA. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose is to construct a five - storey, 8,824 square metre (gross floor area) (94,989 square foot) office building and associated parking area on a 1.8 hectare (4.46 acre) lot in an existing industrial subdivision. The subject property is situated adjacent to a channelized tributary of the Humber River. A portion of the lot falls within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, but the site will be dry flood proofed to the level of the Regional Storm Flood Elevation. The lot boundaries were established through the draft plan of subdivision and were approved by the City of Vaughan and TRCA staff in 1987. At the time of draft approval, the watercourse at the western limit of the site was channelized to contain the Regional Storm Flood Plain and exclude the subdivision lots from any hazard lands. More recent flood plain mapping has revealed that the level of the flood plain has increased over time and now exceeds the capacity of the channel. The applicants have shown regard for our new flood plain data by designing a flood - proofed proposal to satisfactorily address any flood risk. Control of Flooding: The proposed works will be partially located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, but will not be located within the hydraulic floodway. TRCA staff is satisfied that the proposed office development will have minimal impacts on the storage and conveyance of flood waters. 614 Pollution: Sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained throughout construction to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed development. Conservation of Land: 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 office 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 lot is within a subdivision that was approved with the understanding that it would not be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and, therefore, was consistent with Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program policies at the time this lot was created. Recent data indicates that the lot is now partially within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Therefore, the proposal does not meet all of the requirements of Section 4.2.2 G) (i.e., new development should not be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain). However, in recognition of previous planning commitments and having regard for the new flood plain data, the applicant has flood proofed the proposed development to manage the flood risk.

The purpose is to erect various structures, undertake site grading, permanently place fill materials, interfere with a wetland and alter a watercourse within a Regulated Area in order to construct a stormwater management pond and outfall channel. The permit will be issued for the period of August 10, 2007 to August 9, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking from Mr. Ken Chow P. Eng. of Sernas Associates, committing to make all minor changes to the plans to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to erect structures, undertake site grading, permanently place fill materials, interfere with a wetland and alter a watercourse within a Regulated Area in order to construct a stormwater management pond and outfall channel. This proposed stormwater management pond and outfall channel is one of two proposals to be considered by the Executive Committee at this time for the same development. The stormwater management pond and outfall channel are part of a large residential subdivision at the southern boundary of the community of Stouffville east of the Ninth Line known as Lebovic Country Walk. While the developed lands that the stormwater management pond is to service are located in the Town of Whitchurch - Stouffville, the pond is to be located within the municipal boundary of the Town 626 of Markham. This arrangement has been agreed to between the developer and both municipalities. The Town of Whitchurch- Stouffville will assume and maintain the pond despite its location within the Town of Markham. The proposed stormwater management pond is not immediately adjacent to a watercourse. As a result, stormwater from this pond is to be discharged into an outfall channel approximately 250 metres long. The channel is to convey stormwater north and west underneath Ninth Line via a box culvert and finally to a headwater tributary of the Little Rouge River. This outfall channel forms part of this proposal. TRCA staff have reviewed the detailed engineering plans for the pond and outfall channel and are satisfied with the proposed design. Control of Flooding: TRCA Water Resource engineers have reviewed the detailed design of the pond and outfall channel and are satisfied that the design detains and conveys stormwater adequately. Pollution: The proposed stormwater management pond has been designed to treat stormwater to the Ministry of the Environment's 'Level 1 Enhanced' criteria for stormwater management facilities. Sediment and erosion control measures are included on the design drawings and are to be in place during construction to ensure that there is no sedimentation impact to the surrounding environmental features. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: Geotechnical and hydrogeological aspects of the design of the stormwater management pond have been addressed by the inclusion of a requirement that a 1 metre thick clay liner is to be installed based upon the permeability of the surrounding soils during construction. The outfall channel is to be well vegetated and stabilized through the planting plan described below. Conservation of Land: The proposed works are adjacent to two Oak Ridges Moraine wetlands and are within the 'area of interference' for the purposes of Ontario Regulation 166/06. However, the works, and areas to be disturbed, are not directly within the wetlands and are separated by a GO Transit rail line in one instance and Ninth Line in the other. The proposed works are not located within any significant natural heritage features. Staff will issue a Letter of Advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) with this permit as any impacts to fish habitat can be mitigated. Plantings A detailed planting plan has been prepared for both the stormwater management pond and the outfall channel to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. The planting plan provides for over 1000 aquatic plants, over 1300 shrubs and over 270 trees.

The purpose is to place or remove fill within a Regulated area and the Regulatory Floodplain to facilitate modifications to the floodplain on the subject property. The permit will be issued for the period of August 10, 2007 to August 9, 2009. • Letter of undertaking provided by Debbie Pacchiarotti, Fieldgate Developments, dated August 7, 2007, 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: 629 Proposal: The subject property is located within the West Cathedral Community, directly north of Major Mackenzie Drive, between Woodbine Avenue and Highway 404 in the Town of Markham. The lands were the subject of an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing in 2005, at which the zoning for the property was established. Subsequent to the OMB hearing, the property was sold based upon the zoning lines established by the OMB. Recently, TRCA staff have undertaken to update the Rouge River floodline mapping in this area. As a result of this updated mapping, portions of the floodplain extend further onto the subject property than that which was depicted on the mapping used by the OMB in 2005 (which provided the basis for the zoning lines on the property). Based on the above, and the nature of the floodplain on the property, TRCA staff are agreeable 'in principle' to modifying the floodplain on the property through a 'cut and fill' balance operation. Through this, the floodplain on the property may be modified in areas (without measurable upstream or downstream impacts) to reduce the impacts of the new floodlines on the development, as well as the corresponding zoning lines applied by the OMB. As a component of the proposed 'cut and fill' operation, the landowner has agreed to complete a comprehensive valleyland restoration project. In this regard, significant portions of the valley are to be replanted, wetland pockets are to created, and existing culverts (fish barriers) are to be removed. It is anticipated that these works will provide for a substantial 'net environmental gain' by improving the form and functions of the adjacent natural heritage system. Please note that as fill material will be placed in close proximity to the creek and existing vegetation the applicant will need to satisfy TRCA staff, prior to the issuance of this permit, that sufficient compensation has been provided. In this regard, it is anticipated that off -site compensation, in addition to comprehensive on -site restoration, will be required. Control of Flooding: As a result of the works under this permit, the proposed floodlines will be established a minimum of 10 metres from any adjacent commercial areas. As a balanced cut and fill is proposed within the floodplain, it is anticipated that no significant impacts to flood storage or conveyance of floodwaters will result. Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures will be put in place and maintained during all construction and operational phases. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no slope stability and /or erosion related concerns with this application. 630 Conservation of Land: The subject works are being completed within an area that was previously used for the storage and sale of garden supplies with little native vegetation. Consequently, no significant vegetation will be removed as a result of this project. A comprehensive valleyland restoration plan has been submitted as part of this application. The plan's intent is to increase the form and functions of the adjacent natural heritage system by improving the size and diversity of habitat. Please note that the submitted plan must be completed to the satisfaction of TRCA staff prior to the issuance of the permit. Plantings All proposed restoration /stabilization plantings and seed mixes will be native and non - invasive, as well as consistent with TRCA's post construction restoration guidelines Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This permit application is to permit site grading works and the creation of at -grade landscape display areas within a Regulated Area and within the Regulatory Floodplain at the Sheridan Nurseries facility in the Town of Markham. Through a previous (separate) environmental assessment process conducted by the Town of Markham, it was determined that a portion of the lands owned by Sheridan Nurseries (and a portion of the lands to the west) that are located adjacent to the Rouge River within the Regulatory Floodplain, were required by the Town of Markham to house a retrofit stormwater management pond. Sheridan Nurseries subsequently sold these lands to the Town of Markham, and purchased the adjacent property to the east, to expand their facilities. The works proposed under this permit are for site preparation, to allow for the creation at -grade plant display beds, and a non -paved access road, to replace those that were lost as a result of the sale of lands to Markham. While a portion of the new lands are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, they are located within an area designated as a Special Policy Area (SPA), which would allow for the use of the lands for passive uses such as those proposed. No changes to the existing grades, and no permanent or above grade display areas are proposed, or will be permitted through this permit. Control of Flooding: All grading works are minor in nature and are only to level the existing ground for the purposes of creating display areas. As a result of the above, no impacts to flood storage or conveyance are anticipates as a result of this project. Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures are to be installed prior to, and maintained during, all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no slope stability and /or erosion related concerns with this application. 633 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 The subject lands will be utilized for plant display and sales. Due to the nature of the use, no permanent plantings are presently possible within this area. Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Lohmus, IBI Group, dated August 8, 2007, to address all outstanding TRCA engineering and ecology related concerns. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed in order to drain and dredge a stormwater management facility located at Seneca College Markham Campus which services the original Valleywood Industrial plan of subdivision. The stormwater management pond was constructed to serve the industrial plan of subdivision in the area in the early 1980s. The stormwater management facility 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. 634 The stormwater management facility is on -line. 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: Although the existing stormwater management facility is located within the Regional Floodplain, given the scope of the proposed works, TRCA Water Resources staff do not anticipate 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. The proposed works will improve the function of the stormwater management facility and improve water quality entering the downstream watercourse feature. 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 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 as a result of construction. Additional native, non - invasive plantings along the perimeter of the stormwater management pond have been incorporated into the design of this proposal in order to provide an ecological net gain.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This permit application is to allow for the construction of one of three stormwater management ponds within the OPA 120 lands (Barker Business Park), located between Major Mackenzie Drive to the south, Elgin Mills Cemetery to the north, Highway 404 to the east, and Leslie Street to the west. A Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) that is generally acceptable to TRCA staff has recently been completed for the subject lands. The proposed pond is to be built in accordance with the MESP. The Barker Business Park Lands are being developed in three phases. Phase One of the development is currently under construction with all requisite planning approvals attained. These lands, which presently drain into a temporary stormwater management pond, and the majority of Phase Two of the development will be serviced by the pond proposed through this permit. An associated outfall for this pond was previously approved by the Executive Committee at the August 11, 2006 meeting, and subsequently constructed. 636 As a component of the pond design and construction, groundwater infiltration /exfiltration measures are proposed, which is anticipated to provide some ground water recharge, as well as flow attenuation and thermal mitigation benefits for the pond discharge that will be released into the adjacent Rouge River tributary. Through the MESP process, the sensitivity of the aquatic communities within this watercourse became apparent to TRCA staff. The proposed infiltration /exfiltration measures, in addition to those which will be required for each development parcel within Phases Two and Three of this development are being provided in an attempt to minimize impacts to the watercourse to the greatest possible extent. Control of Flooding: No significant impacts to flood control or conveyance are anticipated as a result of these works, which are to maintain pre - development conditions in accordance with TRCA requirements. Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures are to be installed prior to, and maintained during, all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no slope stability and /or erosion related concerns with this application. Conservation of Land: It is not anticipated that any significant vegetation will be removed as a result of this project. No in -water works are proposed within this permit, and no fisheries related impacts are anticipated with respect to the pond construction. Plantings A planting plan will be approved for the pond, in accordance with TRCA planting guidelines. Additional valleyland plantings will be provided through the associated planning applications, and will be brought forward for consideration at a future Executive Committee meeting.

The purpose is to place /remove fill /material for the construction of Pressure Relief Well (PRW) 8 within the regulated wetland interference limit and adjacent to a watercourse approximately 25 metres south of 19th Avenue and approximately 10 metres east of Bayview Avenue in the Town of Richmond Hill. The permit will be issued for the period of August 10, 2007 to August 9, 2009. 640 • Drawing No. PRW8; York Region; YDSS Interceptor Sewer Sanitary Trunk Sewer PRW 8 Construction Completion; prepared by Earth Tech Canada Inc. for the Region of York; revised July 25, 2007; received by TRCA July 27, 2007; redline revised by TRCA August 2, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal The Permit to Take Water (PTTW) which the Ministry of Environment (MOE) issued on July 14, 2006 for the YDSS Interceptor Sewer Project included the requirement to install two contingency pressure relief wells (PRW) prior to tunnelling activity occurring in the vicinity of the intersection of Bayview Avenue and 19th Avenue, PRW7 (conditionally approved at the May 4, 2007 TRCA Executive Committee Meeting - CFN 39103) and PRW8. The approval for contingency PRW8 construction and development was provided by TRCA on November 20, 2006 and issued through the Emergency Works approval process, as flowing conditions were encountered which could pose a risk to the highly sensitive Bayview Avenue ditch on the east side of Bayview Avenue. The purpose of this board report is to ratify the works that have been completed to date and to inform the Executive Committee of the remaining work to be completed, with issuance of formal Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit to follow. Requirement for PRW8 The well was installed to address MOE requirements raised in the PTTW. PRW8 has been requested as a contingency well to mitigate any potential concern of till cap failure at this location during the period when the Earth Pressure Balance tunnel boring machine (EPBM) approaches and passes the intersection of Bayview Avenue and 19th Avenue. Details of PRW8 PRW8 was constructed in accordance with Ontario Regulation 903, recently amended 372/07, by a licensed well contractor in November 2006. The well was installed to a maximum depth of approximately 30.2 metres into (through the Ration Till) to the Oak Ridges Aquifer Complex (ORAC) with an outer casing of 250 millimetres (mm) in diameter. Presently there is an incomplete seal of the annulus at PRW8 and water is leaking to the surface. Steps will be taken to rectify this leak. The well may be in operation during the construction of the sewer if there is such a requirement, as the well is built as a contingency well only. Decommissioning of PRW8 will be in accordance with Ontario Regulation 903, Section 21 Abandonment after tunnel construction is complete or earlier if required. Any discharge of water /maintenance fluids for all stages of PRW8 (i.e. flowing conditions during construction, development, operation, decommissioning) have been and will continue to be managed in accordance with the approved Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the YDSS Interceptor Sewer Project. Control of Flooding: The storage or conveyance of floodwaters are not impacted by the identified works. 641 Pollution: Standard sediment and erosion control measures (silt fence, straw bales, etc.) have been implemented for the duration of construction / development /operation /decommissioning and will remain in place until the site is restored in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering any watercourse or wetland feature. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no slope stability or erosion concerns with the identified works. Conservation of Land: With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat is being mitigated. A Letter of Advice was written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and issued with the Emergency Works Approval on November 20, 2006. Plantings The site will be restored upon completion of the works with native /non- invasive 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 identified works are within the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) and Greenbelt. This project has been reviewed for the tests and best management practices described in section 41(5)(a to e) of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and complies with the Greenbelt Plan.

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is in receipt of a request from Bramcon Construction Limited to explore the possibility of sale of a parcel of land located on the north side of Ebenezer Road, west of McVean Drive, City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel, Humber River watershed. Moved by: Seconded by: Richard Whitehead David Barrow THAT the request to consider disposing of a parcel of land located on the north side of Ebenezer Road, west of McVean Drive, City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel, be referred to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff for review 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. CARRIED BACKGROUND This request is being brought to the attention of the Executive Committee in accordance with Resolution #A289/94, adopted by the Authority at Meeting #12/94, held on January 27, 1995, pertaining to the disposal of Iand.This resolution directs staff to bring requests for the disposal of land forward and requires Executive Committee direction for staff to begin the technical review, agency circulation and public consultation process, at the end of which a recommendation will be made as to whether the property is surplus to TRCA's needs and can be considered for possible disposal.

Proposal for the removal and disposal of the existing tar and gravel roof and for the supply and installation of a new pvc membrane roof and metal flashing for the Head Office facility at 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview. Moved by: Seconded by: Maria Augimeri Richard Whitehead THAT the contract for the removal of the existing tar and gravel roof and installation of a new pvc membrane roof and metal flashing for the Head Office facility at 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview, at a total cost of $293,300 plus applicable taxes be awarded to GTA Roofing Systems Ltd., subject to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff being satisfied that all conditions have been met. CARRIED BACKGROUND The existing roof at 5 Shoreham Drive is in very poor condition and is in need of replacement. The roof is over 35 years old, is in bad state of repair and provides no insulation value. With the installation of the new roof, an insulation R -value of 20 will be achieved. Harvey Associates Inc. was retained by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to determine the best approach to replacing the roof. After reviewing several options, it was suggested that TRCA proceed with replacing the current tar and gravel roof with a pvc membrane style roof. A pvc membrane roof provides a number of benefits: • it is made of waterproof material, which does not allow for ponding of rain water; • it is recyclable; • it is easy to install; • it is easy to maintain, which therefore provides for low maintenance costs; • it is durable; • it reflects most of the Ultra Violet (UV) rays that strike the surface. On a hot day (85 degrees Fahrenheit), a black roof surface can heat up to 172 degrees Fahrenheit, while a white pvc membrane roof will only heat up to 91 degrees Fahrenheit. This in turn will reduce the use of air conditioning; • it is a good insulator; and • it is comparable in cost to the installation of a tar and gravel style roof. Harvey Associates was also retained for the preparation of the tender documents. A number of contractors were invited to submit tenders for the replacement of the roof. Tenders were invited from the following roofing contractors: • Flynn Canada Ltd.; • GTA Roofing Systems Ltd.; • Nedlaw Roofing Limited; • Nortex Roofing Ltd.; • Seeback Roofing and Sheet Metal Limited; • Trio Roofing Systems Inc.. 662 The tender was opened at Tender Opening Committee #4/07, held on July 27, 2007. The quotations received were as follows: Contract for the Removal of the Existing Tar and Gravel Roof and Installation of a New PVC Membrane Roof and Metal Flashing for the Head Office Facility at 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview BIDDER LABOUR (excluding GST) MATERIAL (excluding GST) TOTAL COST (excluding GST) Flynn Canada Ltd. $170,598 $142,425 $313,023 GTA Roofing Systems Ltd. $143,300 $150,000 $293,300 Nedlaw Roofing Limited $141,370 $193,152 $334,522 Nortex Roofing Ltd. $176,200 $117,800 $294,000 Seeback Roofing and Sheet Metal Limited $325,408 Trio Roofing Systems Inc. $348,500 The quotations were reviewed by Harvey Associates and they recommended that TRCA proceed with awarding the contract to GTA Roofing Systems Ltd., it being the lowest bidder that met all the conditions of the Terms and Conditions of the Specifications. The pvc membrane is being supplied to the contractor by IB Roofing. It is a Canadian made product. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for this retrofit project are available in the 2007 Capital Retrofit Project for the Head Office.

Moved by: Seconded by: Maria Augimeri Ron Moeser 663 THAT Contract RSD07 -22 for maintenance dredging at Coatsworth Cut, Ashbridge's Bay Park, City of Toronto, for the total estimated cost of $222,950 plus applicable taxes be awarded to The Ontario Construction Company Ltd., it being the lowest bid that meets Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications. CARRIED BACKGROUND Maintenance dredging at Coatsworth Cut, Ashbridge's Bay Park was last completed in 2006 with the removal of approximately 3,800 cubic metres of material. The dredged material was tested and deemed to meet open water and parkland quality guidelines for 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, 2007. The survey indicated that additional material had been deposited within portions of the channel since completion of dredging operations in 2006. 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 has been scheduled to commence in early September to provide for continued safe navigation for the balance of the 2007 boating season and into 2008. 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 2007 season and into 2008. As a result, TRCA proposes to dredge approximately 5,500 cubic metres of material using a combination of water and land based equipment for dredging and off site disposal to TTP for use in the construction of on site habitat projects as part of the Master Plan Implementation. Contract RSD07 -22 was publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial News. A total of four requests were received for the contract documents with the following bids submitted: Contract RSD07 -22 for maintenance dredging at Coatsworth Cut, Ashbridge's Bay Park, City of Toronto BIDDER Mobilization/ Demobilization Dredging Total Contract Value (Excluding GST) Ontario Construction Company $ 56,850 $166,100 $222,950 Galcon Marine $ 51,600 $229,625 $281,225 McNally Construction $233,500 $110,000 $343,500 Dean Construction $216,735 $382,800 $599,535 Bids were opened at Tender Opening Committee #4/07, held on Friday July 27, 2007. Based on the bid results staff recommend Contract RSD07 -22 be awarded to The Ontario Construction Company Ltd. for the total amount bid of $222,950, plus GST. 664 FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding is available under the City of Toronto Waterfront Development 2007 budget, within account number 211 -16.

CARRIED SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION RES. #B91 /07 - GREENLANDS ACQUISITION PROJECT FOR 2006 -2010 Lake Ontario Waterfront, Pickering /Ajax Sector Estate of Edwin Stanley Nice, CFN 35813. Acquisition of a property, located south of Bayly Street, west of Liverpool Road, Frenchman's Bay Area of the City of Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham, under the "Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 - 2010 ", Lake Ontario Waterfront, Pickering /Ajax Sector. 666 Moved by: Seconded by: David Barrow Colleen Jordan THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 0.86 hectares (2.13 acres), more or less, consisting of an irregular shaped parcel of vacant land, said lands being Part of Lots 31, 32 and 33, Registered Plan 239 and Part of Lot 24, Range 3, Broken Front Concession, City of Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham, located south of Bayly Street, west of Liverpool Road, be purchased from Estate of Edwin Stanley Nice; THAT the purchase price be $27,500; THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (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 by TRCA; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to finalize the transaction including execution and signing of all necessary documentation. 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 the solicitor for the estate, Wallace Lamerton, Barrister and Solicitor. Attached is a sketch showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Lake Ontario Waterfront, Pickering /Ajax Sector as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. The property is located in the Frenchman's Bay Marsh Environmentally Significant Area (ESA) and a majority of the property is provincially significant Frenchman's Bay Marshes Wetland. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE The portion of the property that is designated as a provincial significant wetland will be eligible to receive a property tax exemption. The taxes on the remainder of the property not eligible for the exemption would be approximately $50. Since TRCA maintains lands in this vicinity, the addition of the subject parcel of land would not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs at this location given that these types of lands require a low degree of maintenance. 667 FINANCIAL DETAILS It is proposed that the City of Pickering contribute 50% of the total acquisition costs. This is consistent with the City of Pickering Council resolution to fund up to 50% of waterfront acquisitions by TRCA. The remaining 50% would be from land sale revenue. All expenditures for this acquisition including appraisal, survey, environmental and legal fees are to be charged to the TRCA land acquisition capital account. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Obtain approval of the City of Pickering Council for 50% of total acquisition costs.

Acquisition of a partial taking, located on the west side of Concession Road 4, south of Durham Road 21, 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: David Barrow Colleen Jordan THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 2.4 hectares (6 acres), more or less, consisting of an irregular shaped parcel of vacant land, said lands being Part of Lots 12 and 13, Concession 3, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, located on the west side of Concession Road 4, south of Durham Road 21, be purchased from William and Judith Wilder; THAT the purchase price be $60,000 (6 acres @ $10,000); THAT acquisition by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is conditional on all necessary funding being available; THAT TRCA grant a conservation easement to the Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust; 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 by TRCA; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to finalize the transaction including execution and signing of all necessary documentation. 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, TRCA will be acquiring approximately 2.4 hectares (6 acres) of a much larger parcel containing 57.80 hectare (142.82 acres) owned by Mr. and Mrs. Wilder. The subject property consists of a 10 metre wide section of property running along the north and west limits of the Wilder property. 670 The Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust has obtained an option on the property which is conditional on funding and necessary approvals. The Oak Ridge Moraine Land Trust will assign this option to TRCA prior to closing. The Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust will assist with fund raising efforts for the property and in exchange have requested a conservation easement in their favour registered on title. Attached is a sketch 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 on the Oak Ridges Moraine. The property is designated as Countryside Area under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and is north of TRCA's Secord Forest and Wildlife Area. The acquisition of this parcel will compliment TRCA' s holdings in the Uxbridge area and will help provide a potential trail link between our Secord Forest and Wildlife Area. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Based on the realty taxes paid on adjacent TRCA lands, it is estimated that the annual taxes for the property would be approximately $1,000. 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 a portion of the subject lands would be eligible for exemption for the 2009 taxation year. Since TRCA maintains lands in this vicinity, the addition of the subject parcel of land would not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs at this location given that these types of lands require a low degree of maintenance. FINANCIAL DETAILS The subject property was identified on the list of properties to be funded from the Region of Durham's Land Acquisition Reserve. The region will fund up to 40% of the costs of the acquisition for properties on the list. Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation (ORMF) staff has indicated during preliminary discussions that they would support a contribution by the ORMF for this purchase. Other potential funding sources are the Township of Uxbridge, Oak Ridges Trail Association, Uxbridge Green and the Nature Conservancy of Canada under their 2007 -2008 Greenlands Program.

Receipt of a request from Bell Canada to provide a permanent easement for the relocation of a telephone cable conduit on the north side of Finch Avenue (at the Black Creek culvert), west of Sentinel Road, Humber River watershed, City of Toronto (North York Community Council Area). Moved by: Seconded by: David Barrow Colleen Jordan THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of a request from Bell Canada to provide a permanent easement for the relocation of a telephone cable conduit on the north side of Finch Avenue (at the Black Creek culvert), west of Sentinel Road, Humber River watershed, City of Toronto (North 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 Bell Canada in this instance; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT a permanent easement containing 0.043 hectares (0.105 acres), more or less, be granted to Bell Canada for the relocation of a telephone cable conduit, said land being Part of Lot 21, Concession 4 WYS, City of Toronto (North York Community Council Area), designated as Parts 2 to 11, inclusive, on Plan 66R- 23086; THAT TRCA grant the easement across the subject land on the following terms and conditions: (a) The easement price is to be the sum of $10,000.00; (b) Bell Canada is to pay all TRCA's legal, appraisal, survey and other costs incurred to complete the transaction; (c) Bell Canada is to fully indemnify TRCA from any and all claims for injuries, damages or costs of any nature, resulting in any way, either directly or indirectly, from the granting of this easement or carrying out construction; (d) Any additional conditions as deemed appropriate by TRCA's solicitor. THAT a permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 be obtained for the construction; THAT an archaeological investigation is to be conducted by TRCA Archaeology staff with any mitigative measures required being carried out at the expense of Bell Canada; 694 THAT the granting of this easement is subject to consultation with the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department who manage these lands on behalf of TRCA; THAT said agreement 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 thereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND The City of Toronto undertook replacement of the Finch Avenue culvert over the Black Creek following the roadway washout by flood waters resulting from the August 19, 2005 storm event. As part of the replacement work, Bell Canada was required to move their damaged telephone cable conduit further north (i.e. outside the road allowance) onto TRCA property. The site is located entirely within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill Regulated Area of the Black Creek at this location. As was the case with the culvert replacement and roadway reconstruction, Bell Canada was allowed to proceed with the telephone cable conduit relocation ahead of the issuance of a permit, in accordance with TRCA's provision for emergency works (Permit No. C -05445 was approved at Executive Committee Meeting #10/05 on December 2, 2005 and issued to Bell Canada). The subject property was acquired from Glenshaw Investments Ltd., Ashcroft Investments Ltd., Morel Investments and Jack Rose on December 30, 1966 under the Humber River Flood Plain Lands Acquisition Project. Plantings: All lands disturbed by construction have been stabilized and, where deemed appropriate by TRCA staff, revegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant material in accordance with existing TRCA landscaping guidelines. A plan illustrating the permanent easement location is attached. FINANCIAL DETAILS Bell Canada will pay $10,000 as compensation for the granting of this permanent easement, and will assume all reasonable costs involved (i.e. legal, survey, etc.) in completing this transaction.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject lands form part of a larger acreage acquired by TRCA from Harry Kennedy on July 28, 1961 under the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area Acquisition Project. The Regional Municipality of York 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 widening of Stouffville Road be conveyed for the nominal consideration of $2.00. This municipal road project has been reviewed under the Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process by TRCA staff. Part of the road work will entail widening Warden Avenue to create a larger intersection at Stouffville Road. The widening of Stouffville Road will impact TRCA -owned land at the entrance to the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area (CA). As part of the sale to the Region of York, staff has negotiated compensation measures which include: • removing the old gatehouse and constructing a new structure further south on the driveway at the entrance to Bruce's Mill CA; • regrading, repaving and generally improving the driveway southwards from Stouffville Road to the site of the new gate house; • redesigning and installing a new entrance sign at Stouffville Road; • relocating the existing trailhead on the west side of the driveway; and • identifying the numbers / species of vegetation being removed across TRCA lands as well as providing a replanting scheme. In addition to the fee simple conveyance, the Regional Municipality of York will need to utilize other TRCA lands in this area for temporary construction purposes. A plan illustrating the fee simple conveyance and temporary construction easement location is attached. 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 166/06. FINANCIAL DETAILS The Regional Municipality of York has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing this transaction.

Approval for expenditure for Hydro One's involvement in the project. David Barrow Colleen Jordan WHEREAS the Authority, by Resolution #A262/06, at meeting #9/06, held on November 24, 2006, authorized a new upset limit for expenditure of $150,000.00 plus 10% contingency with Hydro One Networks Incorporated (HONI) for the purposes of providing administration, planning, oversight, review and relocation of the underground high voltage cables as is required for the Don River Bridge Extension works; WHEREAS construction related delays and project complexity have resulted in HONI costs to be incurred to an upset limit of $250,000.00; WHEREAS the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC) is aware of these higher costs and has been working with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to resolve this issue; THEREFORE THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff be authorized to amend the upset limit to $250,000.00, plus a 10% contingency, plus applicable taxes, in order to compensate HONI for their involvement in all aspects of the relocation of the underground high voltage cables, said costs being subject to the approval of TWRC. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #4/05 held on May 27, 2005, Resolution #A100/05 was approved in part, as follows: THAT Hydro One be retained to undertake the required Level A Assessments to relocate their underground and overhead power transmission lines to facilitate the detailed design phase for Component 1 of the Lower Don River West Remedial Flood Protection Project, at an upset cost of $110,000, plus applicable taxes, subject to the approval of the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation and terms and conditions satisfactory to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and its solicitors;... Subsequent to this resolution, a strike at Hydro One Networks Incorporated prevented HONI staff from undertaking the required Level A Assessments that were required in support of this project. HONI instead recommended that the tender package for the Don River Bridge include a design build component of the work. HONI would thus be involved with establishing the specifications for the tender package, reviewing the submitted tenders and supporting the selected contractor throughout the project. At Authority Meeting #9/06, held on November 24, 2006, Resolution #A262/06 was approved, in part, to address this change in scope of work by HONI, as follows: 703 ...AND WHEREAS, pursuant to said contract, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC) have agreed to compensate Hydro One for expenses incurred in relation to Hydro One's involvement in the administration, planning, oversight, review and relocation of the underground high voltage cables as is required for the Don River Bridge Extension works; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA acknowledges that, pursuant to the terms of the contracts, the cost to compensate Hydro One for their involvement in the relocation of the underground high voltage cables is anticipated to be an upset limit of $150,000, plus a 10% contingency, plus applicable taxes, said costs being subject to the approval of the TWRC. RATIONALE Construction of the Don River Bridge has been completed and the Don Watershed Trail between Queen Street and the Martin Goodman Trail reopened on August 11, 2007. A key component of the bridge construction works included the relocation of high voltage underground cables owned by HONI. The high voltage underground cables were originally scheduled to be relocated in November, 2006 over a 3 week period. Due to the complexity of the conditions on site, the completion date of this work was delayed by approximately 3 months. Furthermore, the time to relocate the HONI infrastructure was extended to 2 months, instead of 3 weeks. This occurred in part due to the weather conditions experienced in January and February of 2007, the unearthing of HONI infrastructure that was not anticipated and changes in the workplan that were required to ensure that one of the power lines could be reenergized within a 24 hour period. The impact of these delays was an increase in HONI's costs from an upset estimate of $150,000.00 plus taxes to $250,000.00 plus taxes. An additional 10% contingency is requested to address the remaining outstanding legal, easement and contractual issues related to the relocation of the HONI infrastructure. TWRC is aware of these extra costs and are working with TRCA staff to authorize this increase in expenditures to HONI. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for the increase in upset limit to HONI will be provided by TWRC as part of the Don River Bridge Project Eligible Recipient Agreement and will be paid through account 195 -22.

Addenda to contract with Totten Sims Hubicki. David Barrow Colleen Jordan WHEREAS the consultant team led by Totten Sims Hubicki (TSH) and Earth Tech were awarded a contract, pursuant to the works outlined in Authority Resolutions #A31/05 and #A99/05, at an upset cost of $1,114,721.11 (GST inclusive); WHEREAS Authority Resolution #A185/06, held at Authority Meeting #7/06 on September 29, 2006, authorized a new upset limit to TSH's contract of $1,422,565.00 plus a 10% contingency of $60,049.60; WHEREAS a three month delay in the construction completion date for the Don River Bridge, due to project complexity, has extended the period of time required for construction administration services to be provided by TSH; WHEREAS TSH has provided a revised budget estimate to address their construction administration costs until September 2007, the new projected construction completion date; WHEREAS the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC) has reviewed and authorized TSH's revised budget request; WHEREAS construction is anticipated to be completed by September 2007; THEREFORE THEREFORE THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT an increase of the total contract award to an upset limit of $1,578,422.00 plus a 10% contingency of $75,635.30, plus applicable taxes, be authorized. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #7/06, held on September 29, 2006, Resolution #A185/06 was approved in part as follows: ...THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the Authority authorize an increase of the total contract award by $307,843.89, to an upset limit of $1,422,565.00; AND FURTHER THAT a contingency of $60,049.60 be established to address further unforeseen tasks and associated costs during the construction administration of the contract. 705 Subsequent to the above approval, construction related delays have required an extension of the contract completion date by three additional months. In addition to the extension of the anticipated contract completion, construction activity throughout the winter was much more intense than that which was initially planned. The previous fee estimate was based on an assumption that minimal construction activity would occur during the typical winter shutdown period in January and February. Construction continued through January and February unabated. This resulted in a substantial increase in effort for construction administration over that which was previously budgeted. The extended contract length and the additional construction during the winter months increased the contract administration effort by an additional 5 months over the original estimate with an expected contract completion date of August 31, 2007. In addition, a 10% contingency of $75,635.30 for the construction administration stage will be established to address any additional unforeseen activities and associated costs, including the resolution of any outstanding construction related claims pertaining to the project. FINANCIAL DETAILS These additional costs will be covered by the overall contingency fund established in the delivery agreement with Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC) and will be funded through account 195 -21 for the construction administration stage.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of this application is to undertake site remediation and grading works within a regulated area to facilitate the continuing use of the property as an auto recycling centre. The property is located at 15925 Centreville Creek Road in the Town of Caledon, within the Humber River watershed (Centreville Creek sub - watershed). The subject property is located within the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan Area and contains several wetland communities, a tributary of the Centreville Creek, and significant wooded areas. The southwest portion of the site has been used for auto recycling purposes for several decades. Due to the historical practices associated with past operations, portions of the property contain scattered automobiles and auto parts, mostly concentrated in the southwest quadrant of the site. The applicant is proposing to remediate the site by removing the wreckage, as well as regrading the lands to increase the efficiencies of the property and business operations. As a result of these works the business functions of the site will be better contained improving the protection of the natural heritage system as well as site aesthetics. 728 A small, wet depression area exhibiting wetland characteristics in the southwest portion of the site is proposed to removed. A natural heritage study was conducted and concluded that due to past manipulation and contamination of the area, the noted feature was significantly impaired and provided limited ecological functions. However, as mitigation for the removal of this feature the proposed grading and landscaping works will provide the conditions necessary to create a wetland community within a portion of the adjacent cultural meadow through natural succession. This, in addition to the clean -up of the site, the containment of the operations, and the improved stormwater management measures provides for an ecological net gain to the system and surrounding community. There are no significant flooding, geotechnical, or fisheries related concerns with this application. However, please note that a violation has been issued on this site for the commencement of grading works without the requisite permit(s). In this regard, the applicant has paid a violation fee ($3,220) and has agreed to stabilize the site and not undertake further works until the issuance of a TRCA permit. Control of Flooding: A portion of the proposed grading works are located within the Regional Storm floodplain. TRCA technical staff have reviewed these works and are satisfied that they will have no adverse impacts on the storage and /or conveyance of floodwaters. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls have been proposed with this application, and will be implemented and 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: A small isolated wetland community located in the southwest portion of the site is proposed to be removed. As previously noted, this feature was highly degraded by past business operations and contains several abandoned vehicles, debris, and potentially contaminated fill materials. To mitigate for the removal of this feature, the applicant has agreed to re -grade and landscape the property such that the conditions to create a wetland are enhanced. In this regard, stormwater runoff will be diverted to the adjacent cultural meadow to provide the hydrologic conditions and a wetland community seed mix will be used to provide the necessary seed stock. It is anticipated that this area will quickly progress into a shallow marsh through natural succession given these conditions and the surrounding features. There are no fisheries related concerns with this application. Plantings All proposed restoration plantings and seed mixes will be native and non - invasive, as well as consistent with TRCA's post construction restoration guidelines. 729 Policy Guidelines: This proposal is in conformity with Sections 4.2.2 E) - Development and Redevelopment /Intensification Within Non - Established Communities /Highly Urbanized Ares /New Urban Development: Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures, and 4.2.2 F) Development and Redevelopment /Intensification Within Non - Established Communities /Highly Urbanized Ares /New Urban Development: Opportunities for Regeneration, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Plan (VSCMP).

Inc., dated August 28, 2007, committing to provide for monitoring of the realigned channel, fish and benthic invertebrates for a period of two years. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to undertake site grading, permanently place fill materials and alter a watercourse in order to implement a site plan for a senior citizen's residence located adjacent to the Stouffville Creek. The proposal involves the construction of a 4 storey residential building at the end of Freel Lane within the downtown area of the community of Stouffville. The development is adjacent to the Stouffville Creek and the associated Regional Storm Flood Plain, TRCA staff worked with the applicant to ensure that the building and associated parking areas are setback from the watercourse to maintain an adequate stream corridor. Due to the constrained nature of this site, a 1 metre setback from the geotechnically stable top of slope along the length of area to be developed was used. The owner intends to convey to TRCA an irregularly shaped parcel of land of approximately 165 metres in length along the Stouffville Creek corridor north of the area to be developed. This land will not be developed but will provide for an enlarged creek corridor north of the site. The land to be conveyed also offsets the reduced setback along the portion of the site to be developed. 737 During TRCA staff review of the associated site plan application with the municipality, it was determined that a small tributary to the Stouffville Creek traversed a portion of the site planned for development. Through negotiations with the owner, this watercourse of approximately 47 metres in length would be realigned and restored north of the area to be developed to a location within the lands that are intended for conveyance to TRCA. The realigned watercourse has been designed by a professional geoscientist based upon natural channel design principles and will include a new wetland, pools and riffles and the planting of live stakes, shrubs, coniferous and deciduous trees to establish a riparian corridor. The realigned watercourse, based upon the plans received and proposed as part of this permit, will provide for a significant enhancement over the degraded state of the existing watercourse feature and will allow for a rational layout of the proposed development. Other components of the proposal include the construction of a stormwater outlet structure and plunge pool in order to discharge stormwater from the site; the installation of an infiltration trench system to infiltrate clean stormwater from the roof of the residential building into the groundwater system and to supplement baseflow to the Stouffville Creek; a retaining wall along the edge of the parking areas where grades warrant; and landscaping to restore or maintain a naturalized edge along the Stouffville Creek. Control of Flooding: The Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with the Stouffville Creek at this location is contained within the valleylands of the watercourse below the top of bank and below the development limit. Along the portion of the site to be developed, no structures or development, including the outfall structure for the stormwater outfall, will take place within the limits of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Given this, the storage and conveyance of flood waters will not be affected by the proposal. Some works associated with the channel realignment will take place within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, however this will have a negligible impact on the flood plain. Pollution: A sediment and erosion control plan has been submitted as part of this proposal to ensure that any construction generated sediment is prevented from entering the Stouffville Creek. The stormwater servicing plan for the site provides for a 'stormceptor' device to improve stormwater quality before it is discharged to the creek. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: A meander belt width assessment report was undertaken to ensure that the areas proposed for development adjacent to the Stouffville Creek will be free of impacts from natural creek meander patterns and bank erosion. The findings of this report and associated geotechnical work was agreed to by TRCA staff. A minimum 1 metre setback from the geotechnically stable top of bank has been provided from any structures to be constructed on the site including proposed retaining walls. 738 Conservation of Land: Significant natural vegetation adjacent to the Stouffville Creek is to be preserved during the construction phase of development. Any potential for a harmful disruption or destruction of fish habitat has been mitigated through measures provided for on the plans in support of the application, including the requirement that works take place within the Warmwater Fisheries Timing Window. Accordingly, a Letter of Advice will be issued by TRCA staff on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Ocean's Canada pursuant to the requirements of TRCA's Level III agreement with the Fisheries Act (Canada). Plantings A planting plan has been prepared for this proposal which provides for the planting of native trees and shrubs along the length of the Stouffville Creek valleylands on the eastern side of the site. The realigned watercourse will be planted and restored as discussed above. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 G) - Infilling -, Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing- and Note No. 1 to Section 3.3 - Policies and Procedures for Identifying Watercourses and Alterations- of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The permit will be issued for the period of September 7, 2007 to September 6, 2009 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Natural Heritage Evaluation, Fill By -law Infraction, prepared by LGL Limited in May 2006; • Unauthorized Site Alteration Restoration Plan, prepared by LGL Limited in June 2007, received by the TRCA on June 13, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 742 Proposal: The subject property is located on the north side of 15th Sideroad in the Township of King. Unauthorized infilling of a small embayment of Eversely Lake and a connected wetland feature occurred in the fall of 2005 and now requires restoration to reinstate the natural features. A violation notice was not issued by TRCA Enforcement staff, as the site was not regulated by the TRCA at the time of the infraction. The works were brought to the attention of TRCA staff by the Township of King. The proposed restoration will resolve the outstanding violation. The mitigation measures are meant to restore the physical limits of the features prior to the disturbance. This will be completed mainly by using ortho- rectified imagery from 2002 to 2005, obtained from the Township of King. Subsequent to the pre- disturbance limits and grading being re- defined, planting using native trees, shrubs and a herbaceous seed mix will be completed, as well as installation of cover structures for fish and wildlife species in the embayment of Eversely Lake. Control of Flooding: The development will not be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. As such, there will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment and erosion measures will be installed and maintained during construction to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent natural features. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the development.

To site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere on Lot 5, Concession 10 ND, ( Fogal Road and Regional Road 50), in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Gore -Fogul Investment Inc. /Ouray Developments Inc. The purpose is to grade and place fill within a TRCA Regulated area to facilitate the construction of a new road adjacent to the valley of the Clarkway Tributary of the West Humber River. The permit will be issued for the period of September 7, 2007 to September 6, 2009. • Letter of undertaking provided by Diarmuid Horgan, Candevcon Limited, dated September 5, 2007, 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: Proposal: This permit application is the first of two that are associated with the future Fogal Road extension, from Regional Road 50 to the Gore Road in the City of Brampton. The construction of this section of Fogal Road is being completed as a component of the plans of subdivision on which it is located, and thus an environmental assessment is not required for this project. The project has been separated into two phases to allow tableland grading works, and road construction to proceed in advance of the construction of a bridge over the Clarkway Tributary of the West Humber River. 744 The location of the proposed road alignment and associated bridge crossing was conceptually established through a master planning process completed a number of years ago. In subsequent years, this location was further locked -in through the development of adjacent properties. In its current location, the bridge is located at a meander bend in the Clarkway Tributary, at which toe erosion of the western bank is predicted to occur. Due to the dynamics of the Clarkway Tributary in this location, constructing a bridge in this location without realigning the watercourse would prove both technically challenging and very expensive, due to the size of the bridge structure that would be required. As such, recent discussions regarding this proposed bridge have revolved around realigning the Clarkway Tributary in this area. While the design of the bridge has not been finalized to date, it is anticipated that the final design will include a realignment of the watercourse, with a substantial restoration plan for this reach of the Clarkway Tributary, to achieve a net environmental gain for this area. TRCA staff have had extensive discussions with the proponents and City staff regarding the proposed bridge crossing, and a conceptual bridge design has been submitted to TRCA staff. The specifics of the bridge and the associated realignment and compensatory works are part of Phase 2 of this project, and will be brought forward to the Executive Committee under a separate, future permit application. This permit application is to permit tableland grading and the construction of Fogal Road both sides of the valley corridor, and the construction of a tableland outfall to the south of the bridge, which will convey stormwater from the bridge . Control of Flooding: The area in which works subject property is located outside of the Regional Floodplain. As such, no impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters is anticipated. Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures will be put in place and maintained during the construction, and operational phases. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns associated with this phase of the project. 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 adjacent to the valley will be stabilized within 30 days after construction. A more comprehensive restoration plan, which will include the subject lands, will be provided with future Phase 2 permit application. 745 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 permit will be issued for the period of September 7, 2007 to September 6, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by E. Zameni, SEM Group Ltd., dated September 5, 2007, to address all 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 undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Don River Watershed in order to facilitate the redevelopment /expansion of a multi -unit car repair centre at 300 Enford Road, in the Town of Richmond Hill. The subject property is located within the Enford Industrial Area, where a number of existing industrial buildings on nearby and adjacent properties are subject to flooding as a result of historical modifications to German Mills Creek. In recent years, the area has been contemplated to be recognized as a Special Policy Area (SPA) to address redevelopment opportunities for the existing flood prone community. However, through discussions with stakeholders in the area, the Town of Markham, and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), it was agreed that instead, a comprehensive flood remedial strategy be developed. Based on our review, the proposed development is in compliance with, and will have no negative impact on the proposed flood remedial strategy developed for the Enford Industrial Area and has been adequately floodproofed and designed to withstand Regional water flow velocities. In addition, the proposed expansion is less than 50% of the existing total gross floor area. As such, this proposal meets all TRCA floodproofing requirements. Control of Flooding: Although the proposed works are located within the Regional Floodplain, the proposed redevelopment /expansion will be adequately flood protected and designed to withstand Regional water flow velocities. TRCA Water Resources staff do not anticipate any significant impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters as a result of this project. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed and maintained throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns associated with this project. 762 Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this proposal. Plantings As no significant vegetation will be removed, plantings are not required. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is in conformity with Section 4.2.2 (C) - Minor Additions - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

The purpose is to permit development within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed to facilitate the construction of an addition with a walk -out basement at 2750 King Road, In the Township of King. The permit will be issued for the period of September 7, 2007 to September 6, 2009. • Site Plan, Page 13 of 28, prepared by Denis Bowman Architect Inc. on August 27, 2007, received by the TRCA on May 1st, 2007; • Main Floor Plan, Page 5 of 28, prepared by Denis Bowman Architect Inc. on August 27, 2007, received by the TRCA on May 1st, 2007; • Extension, Page 6 of 28, prepared by Denis Bowman Architect Inc. on August 27, 2007, received by the TRCA on May 1st, 2007; • Extension Unfinished, Page 7 of 28, prepared by Denis Bowman Architect Inc. on March 18, 2007, received by the TRCA on August 27, 2007; • Cross Section, Page 10 of 28, prepared by Denis Bowman Architect Inc. On March 18, 2007, received by the TRCA on August 27, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 763 Proposal: The purpose is to construct an addition measuring approximately 247 square metres with a walk -out basement to the east of the existing dwelling. The subject property measures approximately 1.5 hectares and is zoned "Rural General (RU1) and "Environmental Protection" (EP) by Zoning By -law 74 -53, as amended by the Oak Ridges Moraine Zoning Conformity By -law 2005 -23. In addition, the subject property is within a designated "Settlement Area" according to the provincial government's Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP). The TRCA has an interest in conserving, protecting, and enhancing the natural features of the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) and provides the Township with technical advice on applications that are located on the ORM. The Oak Ridges Moraine Conformity Letter for the subject property indicates that the proposed addition does encroach into the Minimum Vegetation Protection Zone (MVPZ) for the adjacent woodlot. The impacts to the woodlot will be mitigated through a compensatory planting plan. The proposed addition will be set back 2 metres from the woodlot and 18 metres from the watercourse. TRCA staff do not have major concerns with this application given that: • the drainage area is less than 30 ha; • the area is rural; • the development is minor in nature; • the development is not significantly closer to the watercourse than the existing dwelling. Control of Flooding: TRCA staff do not anticipate there will be any impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained during construction to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent valley system. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: TRCA staff have visited the subject property and are satisfied that there are no geotechnical or slope stability issues associated with the proposed development. Conservation of Land: As the watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns exist with this proposal. 764 Plantings The addition will not require the removal of any trees, but will impact on the root structure of the closest trees. Compensation for any trees lost due to impacts to their roots will be provided on the basis of a 3:1 ratio (for each tree /shrub impacted, 3 new trees /shrubs will be planted. This compensation will focus on native tree stock, thereby addressing long term connectivity and sustainability of the area. Compensation was requested as a condition of site plan approval. Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2 .2 c) - Minor Additions- of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Rob Ford David Barrow THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) retain XCG Consultants Limited to develop a Sustainable Stormwater Management Plan for the Don River watershed at a cost not to exceed $79,743, plus applicable taxes. CARRIED BACKGROUND Stormwater is one of the most significant factors responsible for degraded water quality in the Don River. The 2003 Don River report card indicated that limited progress has been made towards striking a balance between the increasing pressures due to urban intensification and improving water quality by stormwater management initiatives. The recent 2006 Progress Report by the Don Watershed Regeneration Council, Forging a New Deal for the Don, also concluded that stormwater remains the greatest source of pollution in the Don River. Currently, a number of innovative stormwater initiatives are in the process or have recently been implemented in the Don River watershed such as the Clean Water Collector in the City of Vaughan, the City of Toronto's downspout disconnection program, stormwater retrofit ponds in the towns of Markham and Richmond Hill, various greenroofs and the Toronto Wet Weather Flow Management Master Plan (WWFMMP). These initiatives will contribute to improved water quality and habitat. However, a more comprehensive effort is required to evaluate the benefits on a watershed -wide basis and to provide clear direction for future measures. The focus of the proposed analysis is on completing a technically sound assessment of the benefits of a complete urban retrofit program and implementation of Low Impact Development (LID) on watershed wide basis. Possible retrofit and LID measures to be considered include: 777 • greenroofs on flat- roofed buildings; • rainwater harvesting and using cisterns; • roof leader downspout disconnection; • infiltration of runoff using grassed swales or soak -away areas, or engineering infiltration systems; • runoff treatment using bio- retention areas or stormwater ponds. It is proposed that the Water Balance Model (WBM) powered by QUALHYMO be used for this project. The WBM is a nationally renowned science -based management tool for setting stormwater and water balance performance objectives and making decisions for sustainable land development. The ultimate objectives of this project are to: • assess the potential benefits of full implementation of urban retrofit and LID measures such as greenroofs, permeable pavement and rain water re -use in the Don River watershed; • establish if full implementation of these measures will achieve significant improvements in water quality, hydrology /flooding, erosion and fish habitat in either the Don River or major tributaries of the Don River; • develop priorities for implementation of stormwater management retrofit measures; and • develop recommendations regarding stormwater criteria to assist TRCA and area municipalities is defining stormwater management targets for new and re- development sites. Since the existing Toronto WWFMMP provided a framework for stormwater management measures for the "416" portion of the Don River watershed, the focus of this analysis will be on the "905" drainage area of the Don River watershed. This project will integrate the information with the WWFMMP and develop priorities for the entire watershed. RATIONALE XCG was invited to provide a sole source proposal for this project as they are regional experts on the National Water Balance Model. XCG is one of only two consultants in Ontario that are part of an expert panel on the WBM that is led out of British Columbia and consists of numerous government organizations including Environment Canada, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, TRCA, the City of Vancouver and the Province of Alberta. Mr. George Zukovs, the President and Chief Executive Officer of XCG, will oversee this project and has over 35 years of experience in completing similar projects such a the City of Toronto's WWFMMP (Area 3), the original QUALHYMO development for the Ministry of the Environment and numerous watershed plans in Canada and the United States. FINANCIAL DETAILS TRCA staff has provided a detailed task list to XCG Consultants Ltd., for which they have provided a quote of $79,743, plus applicable taxes. Staff is of the opinion that this amount represents good value for the extent of work requested. Funding is available in the following accounts to undertake this project: 120 -05, 120 -45 and 120 -46. 778 Report prepared by: Sameer Dhalla, extension 5350 Email: sdhalla @trca.on.ca For Information contact: Sameer Dhalla, extension 5350 Email: sdhalla @trca.on.ca Date: August 03, 2007 RES. #8110/07 - Moved by: Seconded by: OUT OF COUNTRY TRAVEL West Coast Green Conference San Francisco, California September 20 -22, 2007.

Advising of award of contract to carry -out emergency repairs to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA's) aquatic monitoring vessel. Richard Whitehead Ron Moeser THAT the report dated August 27, 2007 on award of contract for emergency repairs to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA's) aquatic monitoring vessel be received. CARRIED BACKGROUND TRCA Policy and Procedures for the Purchase of Goods and Services and Disposal of Equipment provide that in the case of an emergency, the Chief Administrative Officer /Secretary- Treasurer (CAO) is authorized to act immediately and report to the Executive Committee at the earliest opportunity. TRCA has owned and operated a 27 foot heavy duty workboat since 1992. The workboat provides a safe and stable working platform for staff to monitor the aquatic health of Lake Ontario within TRCA's area of jurisdiction. The workboat is equipped with scientific monitoring equipment and safety features necessary to work on Lake Ontario. Recognizing that there were safety issues with the vessel, and as part of the Transport Canada requirements for vessels of the size and purpose of the aquatic monitoring vessel, a condition and valuation survey by McLarens Canada was carried on the aquatic monitoring vessel in March, 2007. The survey determined that there were cracks on the transom plate at the stern which was allowing water to enter the boat. If the transom plate was not repaired, the vessel could not be placed into service. McLarens Canada also recommended additional reinforcement at the stern to support the vessel. The McLarens Canada report concluded that the structural integrity of the remaining of the vessel is in good order and that if these works were carried out, the working life of the unit could be extended. Another recommendation of the McLarens Canada report is that a compression test of the vessel's engine cylinders be carried out. Based on the findings of this report, it was determined that the engine was not functioning at its potential due to its age and use. The vessel would not be safe to use on the water. Eastern Marine Systems Inc. made a recommendation based on cost effectiveness to replace the existing unit with a new engine instead of rebuilding the existing engine. 783 Due to the limited seasonal window for carrying out monitoring of Aquatic habitat in TRCA's jurisdiction, the repair work had to be carried out immediately in order to meet the obligations and work commitments of the Aquatic Monitoring Program. The CAO was notified of the need for this work and agreed. The work is over the $50,000 sole source limit for the CAO, therefore pursuant to TRCA Purchasing Policies, the Executive Committee is to be advised of the decision. FINANCIAL DETAILS A quotation for the proposed repairs was solicited from Eastern Marine Systems Inc.. Eastern Marine Systems Inc. is most familiar with the vessel and could complete the work as soon as possible. The cost of the work totalled $64,603.67, excluding applicable taxes, and is in line with estimates provided by the survey. Funds for this work are available from the Vehicle and Equipment Reserve.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. In February, 2006, the Ontario Minister of the Environment announced that the province would not support opening the Pine Valley Road improvements proposed by the City of Vaughan and the Regional Municipality of York. On June 18, 2007, the City of Vaughan Committee of the Whole received a deputation from Gary Wilkins, Humber Watershed Specialist, TRCA, with respect to the unopened part of the Pine Valley road allowance. On June 25, 2007, Council at the City of Vaughan adopted the recommendations of the Committee of the Whole as follows: 1) That the City of Vaughan relinquish its co- proponency with the Regional Municipality of York for undertaking the Pine Valley Drive Transportation Corridor Environmental Assessment, as approved by the Ministry of the Environment on February 13, 2006; 2) That this resolution be forwarded to the Regional Municipality of York and the Ministry of the Environment; 3) That a by -law be enacted to provide: a) That the Pine Valley road allowance between Club House Road and Rutherford Road be deemed surplus to the city needs; 792 b) That notice of sale of the surplus lands be deemed to be the listing on the Council Agenda; c) And that the conveyance of the lands to TRCA, with TRCA paying legal and survey costs and an administration fee of $1,000.00. 4) That the TRCA agree to convey to the City of Vaughan lands or lands within the City of Vaughan of equivalent extent and value at such times as said lands are identified and acceptable to the City of Vaughan for such conveyance; and 5) That the confidential report of the Manager of Real Estate and the Director of Legal Services, dated June 18, 2007, be received. In respect to Item 4, TRCA staff met with the Manager of Real Estate from the City of Vaughan and advised that TRCA did not have any surplus lands available. TRCA's disposal policies provide that the City of Vaughan would be circulated on any potential surplus TRCA lands. 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. It is adjacent to Boyd Conservation Area and is part a provincially significant Area of Natural and Scientific Interest. 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 2009 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.

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. 795 Attached is a sketch showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property is located on the south side of Albright Road, east of Brock Road, in the Township of Uxbridge, on the Oak Ridges Moraine. It is improved with a detached one storey residential dwelling 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 geographically situated within the natural core area under the Oak Ridges Moraine land use designation. 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 2007 Operating and Capital Budget.

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. Kathryn Borgatti of McMillan Binch Mendelsohn LLP, Barristers & Solicitors, on behalf of Sobeys Capital Incorporated. 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 Site Plan Control Application DA.06.057, TRCA staff established the limits of the open space lands (i.e. Parts 12 and 13, Plan 65R -29226 and Part 12, Plan 65R- 30262), which are comprised of a stream corridor and buffer area of a tributary of the Rainbow Creek at this location. 798 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 2009 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.

CARRIED 804 BACKGROUND It is the intention of TRCA to draw additional users to Heart Lake Conservation Area in order to expand and diversify the client base. An expanded and diversified client base will result in increased revenue. It is also the intention of TRCA to pursue the recommendations outlined in the Heart Lake Conservation Area Master Plan in its entirety. At Authority Meeting #5/06, held on June 23, 2006, Resolution #A133/06 regarding the Heart Lake Conservation Area (HLCA) Master Plan was adopted as follows: THAT the Heart Lake Conservation Area Master Plan, dated June 1, 2006 be approved; AND FURTHER THAT funding for the implementation of the plan be included in the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) capital budget plan for Peel Region 2007 - 2011. One of the key recommendations of the Heart Lake Conservation Area Master Plan, as outlined in Chapter 5: "Public Use and Recreation Plan," is, The development of a skills development area with ropes course... The skills development area could be managed by trained HLCA staff, tendered to a private operator, or managed by a park partner (e.g. City of Brampton, or the Ogada Wilderness Center). In 2006, TRCA staff was approached separately by two firms, Arbraska Tree Top Trekking and D'arbre en Arbre (TreeGo), regarding the possibility of the lease and development of various TRCA properties for a Tree Top Adventure Course and Zip Line. As a result of these unsolicited inquiries and in conjunction with the recently endorsed Heart Lake Conservation Area Master Plan, staff prepared a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) for the lease and development of a Heart Lake Conservation Area Tree Top Adventure Course and Zip Line. Request for Proposals were issued to the following firms on March 19, 2007: • Arbraska TreeTop Trekking; • D'arbre en Arbre (TreeGo); • Challenges Unlimited Inc.; • Impact Learning Solutions; • Adventure Works Associates Inc.. A total of two (2) proposals were received by the proposal deadline of 4:OOpm on April 18, 2007, from the following firms: • Arbraska TreeTop Trekking; • D'arbre en Arbre (TreeGo). ANALYSIS Proposals were reviewed and evaluated in detail. Staff are satisfied that based on current Tree Top Adventure lease and development properties in Ontario, Technical Standards and Safety Association (TSSA) approvals, various professional association memberships and financial details, the proposal submitted by Arbraska TreeTop Trekking was superior to the other received. 805 The proposal received from Arbraska TreeTop Trekking included the following; 1.

Ontario Municipal Board Hearing. Authorization for party status before the Ontario Municipal Board on referrals related to an Official Plan Amendment application and a Zoning By -law Amendment application to permit the development of an automobile gas bar /service station, an automobile repair shop, an eating establishment and recycling operation on Part of Lot 23, Concession 10 (east side of Highway 50, north of Major Mackenzie Drive), in the City of Vaughan. David Barrow Suzan Hall 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 a proposed Official Plan Amendment application and a proposed Zoning By -law Amendment application to permit the development of an automobile gas bar /service station, an automobile repair shop, an eating establishment and recycling operation on Part of Lot 23, Concession 10 (east side of Highway 50, north of Major Mackenzie Drive), in the City of Vaughan; THAT staff advise the OMB that there is an outstanding violation on the subject property pursuant to the Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation (Ontario Regulation 166/06) and its predecessor; THAT staff advise the OMB that the limits of development need to be determined pursuant to TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program policies; THAT staff continue to work cooperatively with our municipal partner and the appellant 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 OMB, if required; AND FURTHER THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject property is approximately 14.64 hectares in size (36.18 acres) and is located on the east side of Highway 50 and north of Major Mackenzie Drive, in the City of Vaughan. There is an existing residence and accessory structures within the western portion of the lot, along the frontage to Highway 50. Material and vehicle storage occurs around these existing structures and at the eastern limits of the lot, adjacent to the two tributaries that traverse the property. These tributaries are located within a Regulated Area of the Humber River watershed pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06. The lands around the subject property are used primarily for agricultural purposes. There is a hydro corridor to the east of the site. 809 The owner submitted planning applications to the City of Vaughan to: • amend Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 600 to redesignate the tableland portion of the subject lands from `Agricultural Area' to `Industrial'; and • amend Zoning By -law 1 -88 to: a) rezone the westerly 120 metres of the subject lands from A Agricultural Zone to C6 Highway Commercial Zone to permit an automobile gas bar /service station, an automobile repair shop and an eating establishment with a drive - through on approximately 2.16 hectares of land; and b) rezone the balance of the tableland portion of the subject lands from A Agricultural Zone to EM2 General Employment Area Zone to permit a recycling operation, including concrete crushing and wood grinding, and ancillary recycling operation uses on approximately 12.48 hectares of land. City of Vaughan staff originally circulated the planning applications to TRCA on September 20, 2006. TRCA staff provided written correspondence to the City of Vaughan on December 21, 2006 and noted that the subject property is traversed by two tributaries of the Humber River. In addition, the owners of the subject lands obtained an Ontario Regulation 158 permit from TRCA on December 10, 1999 to facilitate the construction of a watercourse crossing for agricultural purposes. Permit No. C -99289 permitted the installation of a corrugated steel pipe (CSP) along the most western tributary. Subsequent to this approval, TRCA staff became aware that other works were being carried out on the subject property that had no permit approval. Specifically, the landowner had installed an extension to the existing CSP on the western tributary. As a result, TRCA Enforcement staff issued a violation notice to the landowner on August 30, 2004 (Violation No. V2166). This violation is still outstanding and has not been resolved to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. The applicant is currently working with TRCA to resolve the outstanding issues. In light of these comments, TRCA staff indicated to the City of Vaughan that the Official Plan Amendment application and Zoning By -law Amendment application were premature in view of the outstanding violation, and that TRCA could not continue the review of the applications. TRCA staff further indicated that upon resolution of the violation, staff would request that the limits of the valley corridor be accurately identified on the subject property. This would involve a staking of the natural features and the submission of additional information /studies to TRCA. In addition, TRCA staff would request that the valley corridor be designated and rezoned in an appropriate open space category, which would have the effect of prohibiting future development. The applications have been appealed to the OMB by the proponent based on Council's refusal or inability to enact the proposed amendments, pursuant to the Planning Act. 810 RATIONALE The OMB pre- hearing is scheduled for October 16, 2007. As noted in the body of this report, there is an outstanding violation on the property and staff have not determined the development limits at this time. Based on discussions with legal counsel, TRCA staff has been advised to attend the pre- hearing to seek party status. A re- submission was received by TRCA on August 9, 2007, which addresses the existing violation. The re- submission is currently being reviewed by technical staff. In light of the upcoming pre- hearing and given the applicant's willingness to address the outstanding violation, TRCA staff has also agreed to stake the limits of the natural features on -site and to provide the proponent with direction on what additional studies will be required in order to establish the limits of development on the subject property. The site meeting is expected to occur in October, 2007, after the pre- hearing. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE TRCA staff is requesting the authorization of the Authority to attend the OMB pre- hearing and hearing to ensure that TRCA interests are protected and addressed. Staff has been in contact with legal counsel regarding this file, but will attend the pre- hearing conference without counsel. Staff will retain legal counsel for the hearing should it be deemed necessary. TRCA staff 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 TRCA before the OMB.

Ron Moeser Maria Augimeri THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) -owned lands along the Humber River in the City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, from Stegman's Mill Road in the north, to Langstaff Road in the south, Pine Valley Drive in the east and Islington Avenue in the west, currently referred to as The Boyd Track be named "The Living City Campus "; THAT the TRCA -owned facility at 9741 Canada Company Avenue, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, currently named Restoration Services Centre be named "Restoration Services Centre at The Living City Campus"; THAT TRCA -owned lands at 8739 Islington Avenue, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, currently named Boyd Conservation Area be named "Boyd Conservation Area at The Living City Campus" THAT TRCA -owned lands at 9550 Pine Valley Drive, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, currently named Kortright Centre for Conservation, be named "Kortright at The Living City Campus" respectively; AND FURTHER THAT all present and future partners located on TRCA -owned lands within the environs of The Living City Campus will be requested to include "The Living City Campus" as a location suffix to their name. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #9/03, held on November 28, 2003, Resolution #A255/03 was approved as follows: WHEREAS the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has the legal authority to name its assets; AND WHEREAS TRCA is a privately and publically funded organization with many stakeholders; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Protocol for the Naming of TRCA Assets shall be a consultative process where required, subject to the criteria outlined in the staff report, dated November 11, 2003. 813 In 2005, TRCA started an internal consultative process to define a new vision and concept plan for the Kortright Centre and adjacent properties (Glasgow, Boyd Conservation Area, TRCA nursery and Boyd Office). The working title for the concept plan was "The Living City Campus ". The internal visioning process included directors and managers from all the various business units in TRCA. After several internal and one external stakeholders meeting (PowerStream, Earth Rangers, City of Vaughan, Ryerson University) consensus around a draft vision and concept emerged as well as reaffirmation of the initial working title "The Living City Campus ". Staff and stakeholders agreed that The Living City Campus reflected the essences of moving the sustainability agenda forward through an educational /demonstration /research partnership. Besides the draft vision and concept plan this internal process also created a small working group that would produce a work plan that would facilitate the project planning process. Toward the end of 2005 TRCA hired Urban Strategies Inc., a highly respected concept plan consulting company to clarify, refine and finalize a graphical representation of The Living City Campus as well as spearhead an external consultative process. Working with TRCA, Urban Strategies arranged several meetings with key internal staff and external stakeholders (representatives of Advisory Committee for the Boyd North and Glasgow Park Management Plan and the Humber Watershed Alliance) to provide input into the draft concept and comments on the final design and working title for The Living City Campus. TRCA staff also arranged a one -day open house for members of the general public to make comments on the plan. The input and comments from these meetings provided valuable insight to TRCA and the consultants about the infrastructure, programs, site sustainability, environmental ethics and the title for the concept. Reviewing all the comments, TRCA staff and Urban Strategies developed the final concept plan and called it " The Living City Campus ". RATIONALE The criteria for naming of TRCA assets are as follows: • The name of a major individual or corporate /public sector organization, possibly a donor. • The name of an individual prominent in the environmental or conservation community. • A relevant historical name associated with the geographic area or community. • The name of a strategic initiative, a citizen's group or other partnership of TRCA. • Other names that may have significance for a specific site and area. Naming this area "The Living City Campus" and renaming the facilities within is significant because it mirrors The Living City vision and will inspire people from all over the world to live more sustainably. From renewable energy to green buildings to new technologies and sustainable transportation, visitors will experience the latest in green living, inspiring change in how we live, work and play today for a healthier tomorrow. The campus grows out of TRCA's vision for healthy urban environments and The Living City: The quality of life on Earth is being determined in rapidly expanding city regions. Our vision is for a new kind of community, The Living City, where human settlement can flourish forever as part of nature's beauty and diversity. 814 The Living City Campus will be a dynamic and collaborative learning environment where students, professionals and the public will meet to share and immerse themselves in the perspectives and best practices of sustainability. Programming will appeal to and be relevant to all ages, across cultures and professional sectors. Together they will chart out the theory and practice of sustainability as it continues to emerge and develop. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for related expenses, such as signage and registration of names, is available within the 2007 Operating and Capital Budget.

CFN: 39355 - Application #: 377/07/MISS Report Prepared by: Jason Wagler, extension 5743 For information contact: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 Date: October 2, 2007 881 CITY OF PICKERING 8.1.50 COUGS INVESTMENTS LIMITED To site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere on Lot 19, Concession 1 Plan 40R- 15638, (Southwest corner of Brock Road North and Finch Avenue East), in the City of Pickering, Duffins Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by Cougs Investments Limited. The purpose is to undertake site grading and permanently place fill material within the Regional Storm Flood Plain to facilitate the construction of a residential development. The permit will be issued for the period of October 12, 2007 to October 11, 2009. • Drawing No. ERS -1, Temporary Erosion Control Plan, prepared by Sernas Associates, dated October 2006, Revision No. 1, Revised on February 12, 2007, received by TRCA on February 13, 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 permanently place fill material within the Regional Storm Flood Plain to facilitate the construction of a 71 Unit townhouse condominium residential development. The site is located at the southwest corner of Brock Road and Finch Avenue in the City of Pickering. The West Duffins Creek is located near the site on the opposite side of Finch Avenue. Due to this closeness to the West Duffins Creek, the site is currently subject to up to one metre of flooding in the event of a Regional Storm and is therefore within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. In the 1980's, the site, which is currently vacant, was included within the Pickering Special Policy Area by the Province of Ontario. The Special Policy Area designation permits development in areas subject to flooding as long as adequate floodproofing measures are incorporated. The purpose of this permit application is to permit the placement of fill material on the site which will raise the lands above the elevation of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Raising the lands above the Regional Storm Flood Plain will 'floodproof' the site by preventing flood waters from reaching the 71 proposed townhouse units. Control of Flooding: In support of the this application, the proponent has submitted a Flood Plain and Stormwater Management Design Brief which addresses the impact of the proposed filling on the site and to upstream and downstream lands. This report is necessary to demonstrate that the filling proposed will not raise flood levels off site and will adequately floodproof the site for the development proposed. TRCA staff are satisfied that the Design Brief has demonstrated that there will be no upstream or downstream impacts on the control of flooding as a result of changes to flood storage and conveyance characteristics as a result of the filling proposed on the site. 882 Pollution: A sediment and erosion control fence is to surround the site during construction activity. The site is separated from the West Duffins Creek and valleylands by Finch Avenue, which minimizes the risk of sedimentation of any significant environmental features. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical or slope stability concerns associated with this proposal. Conservation of Land: There is no significant vegetation present on the currently vacant site. Plantings Since no vegetation will be removed as part of this proposal, no plantings have been required as part of this permit. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Policy 4.2.1 B) - Development Guidelines for Development /Redevelopment Within Designated Two Zone Areas or Special Policy Areas - of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The permit will be issued for the period of October 12, 2007 to October 11, 2009. e Letter of Undertaking indicating that minor revisions will be made to the grading plan, site plan and other plans (where applicable) to the satisfaction of the TRCA, signed by Gordon A. Wichert of Gartner Lee Limited, dated October 10, 2007, received by the TRCA on October 10, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The Mount Pleasant Group of Cemeteries has agreed to sell the eastern 10.11 hectares of their property at 7241 Jane Street to Invar (Freshway) Limited. As a condition of sale, Invar (Freshway) Limited has agreed to construct a berm to separate their new lot from the existing cemetery and to improve the condition of the watercourse that traverses the two properties. The existing channel has been highly altered by previous construction and earthmoving activities. The new channel will enhance aquatic and riparian habitat, while also conveying flood flows. As part of the channel improvements, Invar (Freshway) Limited proposes to realign the channel entirely onto the lands owned by the Mount Pleasant Group of Cemeteries. Initially, sediment fencing will be established around the existing and proposed channels. The new channel will be excavated along the boundary of the two lots and will then be directed toward the west to connect with the existing channel and ultimately Black Creek. The new channel will have a 1.5 -metre wide bottom, a trapezoidal shape and depths between 1 and 2 metres. Two cobble steps will also be constructed to help dissipate energy. The connection points between the existing and proposed channels will remain undisturbed in order to prevent flows from entering the new channel. A temporary sand bag dam will be installed at the upstream end of the new channel to allow works to occur in the dry and a sediment trap will be installed at the downstream end to prevent sedimentation of the existing channel. Once the grading works are complete, all disturbed areas will be seeded. The area will then be planted with native, non - invasive species of trees, shrubs and aquatic plants. Should works occur within a time of year that is not conducive to plantings, the new channel will be stabilized with erosion mats and seeding. 890 Once the new channel is stabilized, the downstream sediment trap and upstream sandbag dam will be removed and flow will be diverted into the new channel. The existing channel will then be filled and graded in order to facilitate the construction of the berm between the two properties. The sediment fencing will be adjusted at this time to protect the new channel. It is expected that a low -flow pattern will establish within the newly created channel over time after flows have been diverted to this area. The proposed works on the Mount Pleasant Group of Cemeteries property will be submitted to the Executive Committee as a separate permit application (Reference No. 603 /07/VAUG - CFN 39668) . Control of Flooding: There will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. The new channel has been designed to convey flows during a Regional Storm event. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be installed and maintained throughout construction to prevent sediment from entering the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There will be no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed development. Conservation of Land: 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. Furthermore, the works will be conducted during the warmwater fisheries timing window. Plantings A planting plan composed of native, non - invasive trees, shrubs and aquatic plants has been prepared to the satisfaction of TRCA Planning Ecology staff.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose is to construct an inground pool, patio, pavilion, cabana and chain - linked fence within a Regulated Area of the Don River Watershed. The proposal is located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. A Flood Study prepared by MMM Group Limited, dated August 21, 2007, indicates that the proposed works are within an inactive flood storage area and outside of the floodway. As noted in the Flood Study and as redlined on the Landscape Design Plan, excess fill is to be removed from the site; thereby, not impacting the flood storage capacity on the subject property. The cabana structures are to be floodproofed and electrical outlets are to be at least 0.3 metres above the Regional Flood Elevation of 175.71 metres above sea level (mast). Therefore, electrical outlets must be at least 176.01 mast. The chain - linked fence is capable of conveying flows and does not act as a barrier to floodwaters. The majority of the side yard is located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain; thus, there was no opportunity to locate the proposed works outside the flood plain area. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain; however, TRCA water resources engineering staff are satisfied that the proposed development will have minimal impact on the storage and conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained during the construction of the pool and cabana to prevent sediment from entering the watercourse located on the subject property. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. 892 Erosion: There are no geotechnical issues associated with this application. Conservation of Land: As the watercourse will not be significantly 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 All disturbed areas will be restored to the existing sodded condition and will not affect any significant natural features.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 899 Proposal: The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate grading operations and the installation of servicing related to a draft approved rural estate plan of subdivision (21T-76010C) located at the southwest corner of Mount Pleasant Road and Old Church Road, in the Town of Caledon. The subject lands comprise an area of 39.5 hectares (97.6 acres). The development consists of 18 estate residential lots. The subject lands are located within the Natural Linkage Area and Palgrave Estates Residential Community of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP). The planning application was commenced and decided upon prior to the implementation of the ORMCP and as a result, it is not subject to the provisions of the Plan. The previous plan involved approved lots that extended into environmentally significant lands. The revised lots have been configured to ensure that these lots are now outside of environmentally significant lands. The environmentally significant lands will be placed into public ownership (i.e., Town of Caledon or TRCA) through the planning process. An extensive reforestation plan has been submitted with this application to improve the form and function of the natural features on the subject property. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Floodplain. As such, no impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed and maintained during all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns related to this application. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. An enhancement planting plan incorporating a variety of native and non - invasive species is proposed with this project. Plantings All proposed plant species are native and non - invasive consistent with TRCA's guidelines.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 901 Proposal: Emergency work was undertaken from August 14, 2007 to August 17, 2007 to repair a watermain break in the 600 millimetre (mm) diameter ductile iron (DI) watermain located south of Bullock Drive in the Town of Markham, west of Main Street Markham South, approximately 20 metres east of the watercourse. Immediately upon discovery of the watermain break and prior to repairs, York Region contacted and met on site with TRCA Enforcement staff, the Town of Markham and the contractor to discuss current site conditions and a repair strategy. Emergency repair work was necessary to maintain the integrity of the York Water System in this section of Markham. Works had to be completed as there was concern that supply would not meet demand if immediate restoration works were not undertaken. To minimize the repair footprint the contractor secured smaller equipment and contained the work area to 6 metres by 6 metres . The work site was bounded by a double silt fence with straw bails on three sides and a temporary access road on the fourth side. Double silt fencing with the straw bales was installed to prevent siltation /sedimentation from the work area. It was necessary for York Region to construct a temporary access road from the Water Street/Tannery Pond parking lot to the work area. This access road was constructed by overlaying approximately 75 mm clear limestone on filter cloth directly over the existing vegetation. The road was laid in a meandering fashion to avoid any removal or damage to trees. This construction method minimized disturbance to the underlying vegetation and ground conditions upon the removal of the temporary access road. All organics were removed prior to works proceeding and replaced upon completion of the work in like grading. A trench box was used for safety and to minimize dimensions of the excavation. After completing the emergency works the site was stabilized and restored to original conditions to prevent any erosion. Final grades match grades that existed prior to the watermain break and subsequent emergency works procedure. All works have now been completed. Control of Flooding: The storage or conveyance of floodwaters were not be impacted by the proposed works. Pollution: Standard sediment and erosion control measures (silt fence) were implemented for the duration of construction and until the site was stabilized to prevent construction generated sediment from entering any watercourse or wetland feature. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There were no slope stability or erosion concerns with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: There were no impacts to fish habitat as a result of the proposed works. 902 Plantings Disturbed areas were restored to original conditions following construction. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complied with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to temporarily place fill /material in a regulated area, watercourse and Regional Storm Floodplain to protect existing sewer infrastructure from erosion and stream migration. The permit will be issued for the period of October 12, 2007 to October 11, 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 and provide further information as required, all to the satisfaction of TRCA; prepared by the Regional Municipality of York; dated October 9, 2007; received by TRCA October 9, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: In 2005, there was a breach of the sanitary sewer located adjacent to West Rainbow Creek, approximately 300 metres west of the confluence with the Humber River, south of Highway 407 between Kipling Avenue and Islington Avenue. To address the issue, York Region submitted an emergency works application (CFN 36886) and subsequent to its approval, installed a temporary sanitary sewer by -pass adjacent to the watercourse between Manholes 33A and 34B. At the time of the breach, York Region had commenced an Environmental Assessment (EA) to upgrade the West Rainbow Creek trunk sewer. The EA was completed in January 2006. 914 Currently, York Region is completing the detailed design of the West Rainbow Creek Trunk Sewer Upgrade project with implementation planned for the latter half of 2008 (Permit Application #076 /07/VAUG, CFN 38849). Once built, the temporary by -pass will be decommissioned. Future permit applications for sewer decommissioning /removal and restoration will be required. However, the channel is migrating at a rate of approximately 1.33 metres /year toward the by -pass sewer and there is a risk of failure due to erosion. Further, the implementation of the long term solution is taking longer than anticipated and additional mitigation is required prior to construction of the new sewer. In order to prevent failure, York Region is proposing to protect the by -pass sewer by placing a layer of rock protection on the bank slope. The rock protection will consist of well graded stone mix ranging in size from 50 millimetre (mm) diameter to 400 mm diameter, to a thickness of 400mm to 600mm for a length of approximately 40 metres. The rock material will be removed from the bank once the new sanitary sewer is in operation and the site will be restored. In -water works will proceed during a timing widow of November 26, 2007 to December 17, 2007 which is an extension to the cold -water timing window approved by TRCA Ecology staff. Control of Flooding: The storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be significantly impacted by the proposed works. Pollution: Standard sediment and erosion control measures will be implemented as required, for the duration of construction and until the site is stabilized to prevent construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There will be no slope stability or erosion concerns with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: 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). Plantings 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: The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Don River Watershed in order to remediate erosion and slope stability concerns located at Lots 1 to 5 on Circle Court, in the Town of Markham. The grading and landscaping works proposed with this application are required in order to remediate erosion and slope stability concerns which exist along the rear of these properties. In this regard, the as -built grades constructed for this area are not consistent with the grading works approved by the Town of Markham and the TRCA in May 2000 (TRCA Permit No. C- 00244). As a result, remediation measures are required to restore the area to the approved grades and eliminate the existing erosion and slope stability concerns. All geotechnical and ecological issues have been adequately addressed, and there are no flooding and /or fisheries related concerns with this application. 916 Control of Flooding: The subject lands are located outside of the Regional Floodplain. As such, no impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed and maintained throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: The proposed works will rectify the existing erosion and slope stability concerns. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. Additional planting is proposed in order to remediate erosion and slope stability concerns, which will also improve the ecological form and function of this area. Plantings All plant species are native and non - invasive consistent with TRCA's guidelines. Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are in conformity with Section 4.2.2 (E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

Award of contract for electrical system upgrades at Indian Line Campground. Suzan Hall David Barrow THAT the contract for electrical system upgrades as per engineered drawings for Indian Line Campground be awarded to Pro -Tek Electric Inc. for a cost not to exceed $163,900, plus applicable taxes, it being the lowest tender received that met Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications. CARRIED 917 BACKGROUND It is the intention of TRCA to draw additional users to Indian Line Campground in order to expand and diversify the client base. An expanded and diversified client base will result in increased revenue. Current camping trends are moving away from simple tent camping to recreational vehicles (RV's) outfitted with modern conveniences. This results in greater demand for high -end full serviced campsites. Many of TRCA's competitors have already moved in this direction to satisfy the demand, providing services such as 50 and 30 amp electrical service, 'big rig' pull through sites and direct sewage hook -up. Hillview Village, located at Indian Line Campground, presently has 38 serviceable campsites. 12 campsites in Hillview Village are full service campsites, complete with sewer, hydro and water services. The remaining 26 campsites have water and sewer services but electricity service is absent. As a result, these 26 campsites are presently classified as unserviced and thus are under utilized for much of the season when the demand for fully serviced sites (electric /water /sewer) is at a premium. A scope of work was prepared to supply electrical service to 26 campsites in Hillview Village, which includes supply and installation of the following: • 400 amp, 120/208 volt, 3 phase 4 wire weather proof electrical panel; • panel to consist of 1 -400 amp 3 pole breaker, 9 -100 amp 2 pole breakers; • 4" type 2 duct from transformer; • 14 recreational vehicle pedestals consisting of 2 -50 amp receptacles, 2 -30 amp receptacles, 2 -15 amp ground fault interrupter (GFI) receptacles; • two light standards to match existing; • all conductors between existing transformer, 400 amp panel, pedestals and light standards; • concrete pad for new pedestals; • concrete pad for 400 amp panel; • concrete pad for light standards; • excavation, trenching, backfill and compaction of soil; • Electrical Safety Authority permit. Staff invited 7 qualified companies to submit tenders based on the above scope of work. However, due to scheduling conflicts only 2 of the 7 companies submitted tenders. Tenders were received as follows; COMPANY COST (EXCLUDING GST) Pro -Tek Electric Inc. 163,900.00 Stable Technical Services Inc. 168,600.00 Bolton Electric Company Inc.

Dillane, Director, Finance and Business Services RE: DRILLING OF NEW WELL Former Colquette Property, 18630 Centreville Creek Road, Town of Caledon KEY ISSUE: Award of contract for the drilling of a new well for a Toronto and Region Conservation Authority rental home. RECOMMENDATION THAT the contract for the drilling of a new well at 18630 Centreville Creek Road, Town of Caledon, be awarded to Ontario Drilling at a cost not to exceed $11,915.00, plus 20% contingency, plus applicable taxes. BACKGROUND The current well servicing the dwelling at 18630 Centreville Creek Road is no longer potable. The well is no longer able to provide sufficient quantity of water and the water is also contaminated with silt. A holding tank has been installed as an interim measure in order to continue to supply the tenants with water. A tender package was prepared and distributed to a number of well drilling companies. The tender packages were mailed to the following contractors: • Maltby's Well Drilling; • Ontario Drilling; • Wilson Water Wells; • Roger Boadway Ent. Ltd.; • Tom's Well Drilling. The quotations received were as follows: CONTRACTOR QUOTATION (Plus applicable taxes) Ontario Drilling approximately $11,915.00 Tom's Well Drilling approximately $8,600.00 Staff has indicated an approximate cost since the well drillers cannot tell us how deep they will need to drill to obtain water. The above prices are based on a depth of 100 feet. 922 FINANCIAL DETAILS In our request for quotation we requested the contractors to provide us with a breakdown of the cost. For example, unit cost for drilling, cost of pumps, cost of electrical, cost of trenching, etc.. When staff compared the two quotes received, Tom's Well Drilling did not provide us with a breakdown of the quote, nor provide copies of WSIB Clearance Certificate and Certificate of Insurance. Accordingly, Tom's Well Drilling was disqualified, leaving Ontario Drilling as the only other quote. Since there is an urgency in proceeding with this work, staff did not re- tender. As this is an approximate cost, the total cost of this project may be higher or lower than the $11,915 estimate and any change in cost will be based on the per unit price as provided by Ontario Drilling. Funds are available in TRCA's Operating and Capital Budget in the Basic Rental Budget.

Partnering for D Sustainable Future 2070 Hadwen Road, Unit 201A Mississauga, Ontario L5K 2C9 Ph: (905) 822 -4133 Fax: (905) 822 -3558 Re: Cancellation of Environment Canada's Funding Support of the Toronto Region Sustainability Program (TRSP) Dear Ms. Cleroux: We would like to respond to your letter of September 27, 2007 to the Ontario Centre for Environmental Technology Advancement that replies to the letter from Brian Denney, CAO of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Dr. Ed Mallett, CEO of the Ontario Centre for Environmental Technology Advancement, dated September 4, 2007. In your letter, you explained that Environment Canada, in this fiscal year, is operating under budgetary constraints that have meant that not all commitments could be honoured. On September 25, 2007, Environment Minister John Baird, assured "all Canadians that priority programs related to all areas of the environment are maintained, "and that Environment Canada does have "flexibility regarding its budgetary support for programs of environmental importance'. We hope that, in light of this indication of flexibility, further consideration can be given to the payment of our TRSP program expenses for fiscal year 2007 — 2008. Every year since the commencement of the agreement to support the TRSP, through a Contribution Agreement, the Standard Practice has been as follows: • The program operates under an umbrella agreement with an understanding that funding was to be available from 2004 — 2009; • TRCA and OCETA were actively encouraged by Environment Canada to promote the building of a partnership network based on the assumption of multi -year funding and continuous yearly service delivery; • Monthly Milestone Reports and Annual Reports were to be provided to Environment Canada and have been provided continuously up to October 2007; • Annual Contribution Agreements were usually executed in the third quarter of the fiscal year but were made applicable to cover costs from April 1=` through to the end of the fiscal year; • A Ministerial right to terminate funding was included in each Contribution Agreement that required payment of costs incurred up to the official date of termination. 926 TORONTO AND REGION "y--- onserva t'1 on CoCETA for The Living City Partnering for Svoinable Futufe Letter to C. Cleroux, ADM Environment Canada In Response to Environment Canada Letter of September 27, 2007 In your letter you stated "We appreciate that each year, until Environment Canada is in a position to confirm its funding commitments, organizations such as yours are unable to incur expenses on the expectation of pending funds ". If Environment Canada's position was that OCETA and TRCA were "unable" to incur expenses on the expectation of pending funds then it would have been logical that the annual Contribution Agreements would have been structured to only cover costs from the date of execution to the fiscal year end. The Standard Practice that was in place was for Contribution Agreements to include payment for the period up to the signing date. This reflected the recognition by Environment Canada that there is a need for OCETA and TRCA to maintain on -going delivery to ensure program success. Environment Canada officials always informally advised that there is no guarantee of funding until the Contribution Agreement was signed and this year, as in previous years, they provided this advice to OCETA and TRCA. However, Environment Canada never formally, nor informally, notified OCETA and TRCA to cease with operating the program until a signed Contribution Agreement was in place. Given the Standard Practice that had been established, and in absence of formal notice of cancellation, OCETA and TRCA continued to provide the program services and to develop new government partnerships on the assumption that the terms and conditions of the previous Contribution Agreement would apply until the next agreement was signed. Environment Canada received the benefits from the program delivery from April 1, 2007 in the form of monthly milestone reports. Under the principle of detrimental reliance we believe that Environment Canada is obligated to pay for the benefits it has received. The termination clause in the Contribution Agreement states that in the event of a decision to terminate: "Additionally, either the Recipient or the Minister may terminate this Agreement on one (1) month written notice to the other Party. Payment for incurred costs and non - reversible commitments by the Recipient for the purposes set out in Clause 2 will be covered by the Minister'. It remains the position of TRCA's Executive Committee and OCETA's Boards of Directors, that Environment Canada should, "pay for incurred costs and non - reversible commitments by the Recipient" as per the attached invoice that was included with the letter dated September 4, 2007.

Acquisition of a limited easement, located west of the Seventh Concession Road, north of the Uxbridge Pickering Town Line, Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, under the "Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 - 2010 ", Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Duffins Creek watershed. Richard Whitehead Suzan Hall THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT a limited easement, for future trail purposes, containing 8.89 hectares (21.97 acres), more or less, consisting of an irregular shaped parcel of vacant land, said land being Part of Lot 4, Concession 6, Township of Uxbridge, in the Regional Municipality of Durham, further described as being Part 1 on Plan 40R- 24982, situated west of the Seventh Concession Road, north of the Uxbridge Pickering Town Line be purchased from the Glen Major Angling Club (GMAC); THAT the limited easement with the GMAC be premised on the following basis; (a) the purchase price be $100.00; (b) the term of the limited easement will be 20 years with no right for renewal; (c) Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is responsible for the cost of the survey and reasonable legal fees; (d) any other terms and conditions deemed appropriate by TRCA's solicitor; THAT the Authority extend their appreciation and thanks to the Glen Major Angling Club for the limited easement for future trail purposes; 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 take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. BACKGROUND Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. 929 In this instance, it is TRCA's intent to acquire a 20 year limited easement from the GMAC for future trail /public use over the subject property. This parcel of land will allow for the creation of a trail that will connect two sections of the TRCA -owned Glen Major Forest. This north -south trail will provide an additional route for recreational users, which, will in turn alleviate pressure on a heavily used trail to the west. This trail will also provide users the opportunity to experience an extraordinary natural area. The subject property is also part of the Uxbridge Forest Kames Environmentally Significant Area. Negotiations have been conducted with Mr. Douglas Turner, Q.C., Barrister and Solicitor, representing the property owners (GMAC) and as a result the TRCA has entered into an agreement which is conditional on the necessary approvals. Attached is a sketch showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property falls within the TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Duffins Creek watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. The acquisition of a limited easement will complement TRCA's land holdings in the Duffins headwaters and will provide an improved trail link between two portions of the Glen Major Forest. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE TRCA shall be responsible for all realty taxes levied against the subject lands and for the maintenance of the subject property. Based on the realty taxes paid on adjacent TRCA -owned lands, it is estimated that the annual taxes for the property would be approximately $500.00. Since TRCA maintains lands in this vicinity the addition of the subject parcel of land would not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs at this location. The TRCA shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with the installation and maintenance of any future trail development. FINANCIAL DETAILS All expenditures for this acquisition including survey and legal fees are to be charged to the TRCA land acquisition capital account.

Richard Whitehead Suzan Hall THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of a request from Duke of Richmond Developments Inc. for TRCA to enter into an exchange of lands to resolve a design deficiency with a stormwater management facility within the Duke West - Phase 3 residential subdivision, being Part of Lot 59, Concession 1 WYS, Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York, located east of Bathurst Street and south of Jefferson Sideroad; 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 proceed with the land exchange in this instance; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA enter into an exchange of lands with Duke of Richmond Developments Inc. on the following basis: (a) Duke of Richmond Developments Inc. will convey to TRCA parcels of land containing 0.03 hectares (0.07 acres), more or less, described as Parts 1, 2 and 3 on a Plan of Survey prepared by Rady - Pentek & Edward Surveying Ltd., under their Job No. 04 -092 dated September 19, 2007; (b) TRCA will convey to Duke of Richmond Developments Inc. a parcel of land containing 0.03 hectares (0.07 acres), more or less, described as Part 4 on a Plan of Survey prepared by Rady - Pentek & Edward Surveying Ltd.; (c) Completion of this sale is subject to any Planning Act approval that may be required; (d) Duke of Richmond Developments Inc. is to pay all legal, survey and other costs, including any fees required for municipal approvals (e.g. consent to sever) as deemed necessary by the Town of Richmond Hill; THAT the sale be subject to 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, if required; 938 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 TRCA property was acquired from Duke of Richmond Developments Inc. on June 8, 2005 under the Natural Heritage Lands Protection and Acquisition Project for 2001 -2005. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. At the time of acquisition, it was anticipated that the outlet and outfall from the Pond 10 stormwater management (SWM) facility would be located entirely within Block 432 of the Duke West - Phase 3 lands, as was originally established by the Functional Servicing Plan for the Duke of Richmond subdivision. RATIONALE At the detailed design stage, it was determined that a larger pond outlet area was required, in accordance with a SWM Pond Design Brief, dated August 22, 2007, which has been reviewed and accepted by TRCA technical staff. Essentially, the new outlet and outfall (i.e. Part 4 on Draft Plan of Survey) is needed to provide increased stormwater storage capacity within the Pond 10 SWM facility. Duke of Richmond Developments Inc. has offered to convey to TRCA an equal area of table land buffer adjacent to a valley corridor of a headwater tributary of the Rouge River (i.e. Parts 1, 2 & 3 on Draft Plan of Survey) in exchange for the land required for the larger pond outlet and outfall. Furthermore, the Town of Richmond Hill is in agreement with this land exchange and is prepared to accept conveyance of Block 432 once the SWM facility has been constructed to the satisfaction of the town's Engineering Department and Phase 3 of the subdivision has received final registration. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE No increase in taxes is expected as part of this land exchange. The Town of Richmond Hill will be responsible for maintenance of the Block 432 SWM facility once all construction / restoration has been completed and a permanent easement has been registered in favour of the town as part the Duke West - Phase 3 development. FINANCIAL DETAILS Duke of Richmond Developments Inc. is to pay all legal, survey, and other costs resulting from this transaction.

The subject property is an existing undeveloped lot within an established residential subdivision. Previously (December 2005), TRCA staff had provided the applicant with correspondence indicating that the development of these lands did not affect the interests of the TRCA. However, recent updates to our flood maps indicate that due to the undersizing of the culvert crossing Major Mackenzie Drive East, the floodlines in this area have significantly increased. As a result, the entire site is now located within the Regulatory Storm Floodplain. In consideration of our previous determination on this property, and considering the characteristics of the floodplain in this area (low velocity and shallow), TRCA staff feel the construction of a residential dwelling on this property is appropriate subject to meeting standard floodproofing criteria. In this regard, the proposed dwelling will be constructed such that it is located above the Regulatory Storm Floodplain, and safe access to the property will be provided. There are no anticipated floodplain, geoenvironmental, ecological, or fisheries related concerns with this application. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain. However, as noted above the proposed residential dwelling will be located above the Regional Storm Floodplain elevation. TRCA water resources staff have confirmed that no impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated as a result of these works.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal consists of site grading, permanently placing fill materials and altering a watercourse in order to facilitate the expansion of an existing pond and construct another irrigation pond. The purpose of the two irrigation ponds is to meet the requirements of a Ministry of the Environment (MOE) Permit to Take Water application. A study conducted by Weston Golf Club determined that there is no available groundwater to use for irrigation purposes and an alternative strategy was devised to take water from the Humber River. Currently, there is a small tributary that traverses the property west of the Humber River. This tributary consists of a series of pipes and man -made channels throughout the golf course. The proposal consists of realigning the watercourse and creating a natural channel through a 991 portion of the golf course. This channel will connect to the irrigation pond to provide water for storage. Control of Flooding: Any run -off from a 100 year storm will be directed overland towards the Humber River. The proposed pumphouse placed within the Regional Storm Floodplain has been reviewed by TRCA technical staff and the pumphouse will not impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Further, the pumphouse will be flood proofed to the Regional Storm Flood elevation. Pollution: Sediment fencing will be in place throughout the duration of construction in order to ensure that sediment will not enter the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no geotechnical issues associated with this application. Conservation of Land: The naturalized channel will be constructed to TRCA's standards. Following construction there will be extensive vegetation planted to enhance shading and contribute to water quality improvement. Further, the perimeter of the ponds will be naturalized and provide an enhanced buffer along the Humber River. Plantings All plantings will be in accordance with TRCA's guidelines. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2.H., Existing Resource -based Uses, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

The permit will be issued for the period of November 2, 2007 to November 1, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking - outstanding issues to be satisfactorily addressed prior to issuance of permit, prepared by Schaeffers Consulting Engineers, dated September 24, 2007, received September 26, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal The proposal is to conduct site grading works, alter a watercourse, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove fill material and construct a structure within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm Flood Plain of the East Don River. The proposed works involve the installation of a temporary culvert crossing at Swale 1 in Planning Block 12, in the City of Vaughan. The proposed culvert crossing will allow for construction vehicles to access portions of Block 12 in order to carry out grading works at the future location of Lady Valentina Drive. Planning Block 12 is bounded by Major Mackenzie Drive to the south, Dufferin Street to the west, Teston Road to the north and to the east by Bathurst Street. The proposed work location is generally situated east of Dufferin Street, north of Major Mackenzie Drive, within Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 19T -99V08 (Andridge Homes Ltd.). The proposed works are in accordance with the approved Block 12 Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP). The temporary construction culvert crossing (800 mm diameter CSP) represents the first phase of works at Lady Valentina Drive. A permanent culvert crossing is proposed to be installed in 2008 as part of a future phase. An associated application for a permit under O.Reg. 166/06 has been received by TRCA staff for the permanent crossing. At this time, TRCA technical staff is reviewing this application and related technical information /studies. The watercourse at this location is generally dry for most of the year, and is poorly defined. It does not provide direct fish habitat. Nonetheless, it provides flows and nutrients to downstream habitat within the East Don River system. Construction work will be carried out in the dry for approximately 2 weeks. Coffer dams will be installed upstream and downstream of the crossing location, to isolate the work site. If required, a pumping system will be implemented to divert watercourse flows. Control of Flooding: The access road will be temporary in nature. However, it has been designed to convey the 10 -year storm flow without causing any flooding impacts to the nearby properties (vacant). There will be no impacts to the storage or conveyance of flood waters on Swale 1. 993 Pollution: Erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented prior to the start of construction and maintained for the duration of the works. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: Erosion on site will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned erosion and sediment control measures. Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. The works will not involve any vegetation removal. Given the minimal disruption to the watercourse, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Plantings As vegetation removal is not proposed as part of the works, plantings will not be required for this phase of work. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The proposed works are located adjacent to an intermittent tributary of the Carruther's Creek southwest of Taunton Road and Audley Road in northeastern Ajax. As part of the proposed park grading plan, the applicant proposes a minor encroachment into the adjacent open space block. The open space block was created during the plan of subdivision process to protect and restore the intermittent tributary and to provide a wildlife movement corridor. This encroachment is required due to the configuration of the parkette, which requires a side slope that extends into the open space block by approximately 4 metres at its greatest extent. The size of the encroachment and the amount of grading proposed has been reduced by the applicant based upon review and direction from TRCA staff. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. The control of flooding is not affected by this application. Pollution: A sediment and erosion control fence is to be established as part of the permit to isolate the intermittent tributary from construction activity. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical or slope stability issues associated with this proposal. Conservation of Land: Two trees, 30 cm in diameter, are to be removed in order to accommodate construction of the parkette. A planting and restoration plan has been proposed as part of this permit. Plantings The planting and restoration plan provides for the planting of trees and shrubs within the park and specifically within the adjacent open space block. The planting and restoration plan buffers the new park use from the adjacent natural features and provides for the planting of 47 trees and 415 shrubs. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.1.2 -New Resource -based Uses- of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. 998 CFN: 39957 - Application #: 821 /07 /AJAX Report Prepared by: Chris Jones, extension 5718 For information contact: Chris Jones, extension 5718 Date: October 23, 2007 TOWN OF CALEDON 8.1.42 KENNEDY ROAD To site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere on Lot 28, Concession 1 EHS, (Kennedy Road), in the Town of Caledon, Etobicoke Creek Watershed.

The permit will be issued for the period of November 2, 2007 to November 1, 2009. • Letter of undertaking provided by Paul Ahn, Lea Consulting Limited, dated October 31, 2007, 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: Proposal: This application is to permit road widening and related road stormwater management works associated with the construction of a new right turning lane, to access the new commercial plaza being constructed on the north side of Major Mackenzie Drive, between Markland Road, and Woodbine Avenue in the Town of Markham. While it is anticipated that little of the grading or road construction works associated with the new turn lane will be located within TRCA's Regulated area, reconstruction of side slopes will in areas be required to facilitate a new storm sewer connection and outfall that will be located within the Regulated area. Disturbance to the Carleton Creek corridor, in which the storm sewer outfall is to be located, will be minimized to the greatest possible extent, with consideration for the extensive valleyland enhancements that 1002 are being completed with the commercial development. As a component of this permit, an oil -grit separator is to be integrated into the new storm sewer extension to provide water quality treatment prior to the water being discharged into the Carleton Creek corridor. Prior to approval of this permit, opportunities will also be explored for redirecting these flows into existing stormwater management ponds. All works proposed within the proximity of Carleton Creek will be subject to Fisheries Timing Window restrictions. No in -water works are proposed with this project. Control of Flooding: All works are being completed within the Major Mackenzie road right -of -way. Consequently, no significant impacts on the conveyance or storage of flood waters is anticipated. Pollution: Appropriate Sediment and Erosion control measures will be put in place and maintained during construction and operational phases. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: All disturbed areas within or adjacent to TRCA's Regulated areas are to be seeded and/ appropriately stabilized immediately after construction works are compete. Conservation of Land: Fisheries concerns are to be addressed through the Ministry of Natural Resources' fisheries timing window, for any works in close proximity to the Carleton Creek. Plantings As the subject works are being completed within the Major Mackenzie road right -of -way, no significant vegetation will be disturbed as a result of this project, and consequently, no plantings can be provided within this area. All disturbed areas will be re- vegetated using a native, non - invasive seedmix. Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Phase four works will include construction of Bayview Park Lane from Station 10 +300 to Sunset Beach Road and the reconstruction of Sunset Beach Road. Phase five involves the final construction of the temporary sediment basins and storm sewer connections and site restoration. This project was reviewed through the Municipal Class EA process under the East Lake Wilcox Area Road Needs Study - Master Plan dated April 2005 and is in conformance with the Oak Ridges Community Centre and Parks Master Plan Background Summary Report dated December 2005. 1004 Control of Flooding: There will be no impacts to the control of flooding. Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (heavy duty silt fencing, rock flow check dam, turbidity curtain, temporary sediment control basins) 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 are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposal. Conservation of Land: The location of the proposed works is 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 provided that construction practices minimize the negative impacts on features and their functions. This project has been reviewed to confirm that there will be no negative impacts on the features and their functions. The location of the proposed 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. 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. All in water or near water works must be completed between July 1 and March 31. An amphibian crossing connecting the lands on the east side of Bayview Park Lane to Catfish Pond will be installed as part of the construction. There will be some removal of woodlot vegetation as a result of these works. The Town of Richmond Hill has made a commitment to TRCA to provide compensation for the loss of vegetation as part of the future Oak Ridges Community Centre development. Staff are working together with the Town of Richmond Hill to achieve a net environmental gain in this area. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with native non - invasive species following construction. 1005 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 site grade, temporary or permanently place, dump or remove material and construct a building within a Regulated Area of the Humber River, in order to construct a single- storey residence with an attached three -car garage, septic tile bed and an at -grade swimming pool at 21 Manitou Drive, in the Township of King. The permit will be issued for the period of November 2, 2007 to November 1, 2009. • Site Plan, Figure No. 1, prepared by B.R. Whitehead, Rural Development Consultants Limited, dated August 2006, received October 24, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove fill material and construct a building within a Regulated Area of the Humber River, in order to construct a one - storey residence with an attached three -car garage, septic tile bed and an at -grade swimming pool at 21 Manitou Drive, in the Township of King. The subject site is located west of Keele Street and King Road and is approximately 0.83 ha (2.06 ac) in size. The property is located entirely within the Regulated Area of the Humber River, while portions of the property are located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. It is noted that the proposed building and structures are located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. The subject property was previously occupied by a single dwelling (constructed in the mid- 1970s). This structure was subsequently demolished in 1997. The property has remained vacant since this time. It is noted that the proposed structure will maintain the footprint of the previous residence. 1006 In 2006, an associated site plan application (SPD- 06 -59) was circulated to TRCA staff for review. At that time, TRCA staff attended a site walk of the subject property in order to identify and delineate the limit of the surrounding natural vegetation. The proposed residence and associated ancillary structures maintain an appropriate setback both from the dripline of the vegetation and Regional Storm Flood Plain. The subject site is located on the Oak Ridges Moraine and is also located with the Natural Core designation of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP). During the site plan application process, TRCA technical reviewed and approved of a Natural Heritage Evaluation (NHE) which recommended mitigative measures in lieu of potential impacts associated with the replacement dwelling. This included buffer plantings and the erection of sediment and erosion control measures during construction. Subsequent to the review of this NHE, TRCA staff issued conditions of site plan approval. This permit application fulfills one of those conditions. Control of Flooding: The proposed building and ancillary structures are located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Minimal fill will be required in order to construct a driveway to access the site. This driveway will be located above the Regional Storm Flood Plain, thereby affording the site safe ingress /egress. The subject proposal will not result in the reduction in storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Erosion and sediment control measures will be erected around the perimeter of the work site to ensure that sediment does not enter the nearby watercourse and vegetated areas. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: Erosion will be minimized on site through the implementation of the aforementioned erosion and sediment control measures. 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. Plantings Although no vegetation will be removed for these works, significant buffer plantings (over 500 plants) will be implemented between the proposed building and natural features. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development, of Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. 1007 CFN: 39881 - Application #: 765/07/KING Report Prepared by: Kevin Huang, extension 5307 For information contact: Kevin Huang, extension 5307 Date: October 23, 2007 8.1.47 TOWNSHIP OF KING To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure and interfere with a wetland on Part Lot 7, 8, Concession 4; Lot 38, Plan M2032, (West Trail of King City - between Curtis Crescent and Manitou Drive (behind Lot 38, Plan M2032)), in the Township of King, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Township of King. The purpose is to permit development and interference with a wetland within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed to facilitate the relocation of an approximately 60 -metre long (200 -foot long) segment of the West Trail in King City through the construction of a boardwalk. The permit will be issued for the period of November 2, 2007 to November 1, 2009. • Letter of Undertaking indicating that minor revisions will be made to the site plan(s) to the satisfaction of the TRCA, signed by Scott Donald of the Township of King, dated October 30, 2007, received by the TRCA on October 31, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The West Trail in King City originally looped around and through an existing wetland between Curtis Crescent and Manitou Drive. A portion of the trail crossed privately owned lands. Within the past year, the private landowner erected a chain link fence on his property, thereby cutting off a portion of the active community trail. Users of the trail are now 'breaking' a new trail within the wetland, immediately west of the previous trail alignment. In response, the Township of King proposes to formalize the new trail through the construction of a 60 -metre long (200 -foot long) boardwalk, approximately 3 metres (10 feet) west of the privately owned lands. The proposed works will be situated within a wetland and the Regional Storm flood plain of the East Humber River. However, no significant vegetation will be impacted by the proposed works, the boardwalk structure will be minimized, i.e. no hand railings, and there will be no grading or filling associated with its construction. The boardwalk will also be situated at the outermost limit of both the wetland and the flood plain. The proposed boardwalk will compliment the existing boardwalk to the south, which traverses the wetland. Control of Flooding: The proposed encroachment into the Regional Storm Flood Plain is minor. TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed works will have negligible impact on the storage and conveyance of flood waters. 1008 Pollution: Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained throughout construction to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent natural features. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There will be no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed development. Conservation of Land: As the watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. The boardwalk has been situated at the outermost edge of the existing wetland and in an area that will limit the amount of vegetation removed. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored to existing conditions upon completion of the project. Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 H) - Existing Resource -based Uses - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

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 and alter a watercourse on Part Lot 6, Concession 7, (7890 Pine Valley Drive), in the City of Vaughan, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Villa Nicolini Inc.. 1017 The purpose is to permit development and the alteration of a watercourse within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed at 7890 Pine Valley Drive, in the City of Vaughan, to facilitate the construction of a 5- storey long -term care facility with associated parking area, retaining walls, landscape features and outfall. The permit will be issued for the period of November 2, 2007 to November 1, 2009 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking indicating that minor revisions will be made to the grading plan, site plan and other plans (where applicable) to the satisfaction of the TRCA, signed by Hayden A. Solomons of Aird & Berlis LLP, dated October 9, 2007, received by the TRCA on October 9, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal The proposed works involve the construction of a 5- storey long -term care facility with associated parking area, retaining walls and landscape features at 7890 Pine Valley Drive in the City of Vaughan. The proposal also includes the construction of an outfall to Jersey Creek, which flows to the immediate east and south of the site. TRCA staff initially reviewed the proposed development through Zoning By -law Amendment Application Z.01.044 and Site Plan Application DA.01.071, which were circulated to the TRCA by the City of Vaughan in 2001. The Zoning By -law Amendment and Site Plan Applications were later referred to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) (PL020499, Decision No. 0525 issued April 28, 2003). The decision of the OMB was to approve the Zoning By -law Amendment with modifications. The Site Plan Application was also approved with modifications and subject to several conditions, which included satisfying the TRCA through the submission of various reports and plans, and the execution of a conservation easement /environmental site management agreement between the applicant and the TRCA on the lands below the top of bank. Based on our negotiations with the applicant, the lower level of the proposed long -term care facility will be approximately 4 metres from the physical top of bank. An assessment of slope stability was provided to the satisfaction of TRCA Geotechnical staff. All vegetation below the top of bank, except in the area of the proposed outfall, will be retained. A restoration /planting plan has been prepared to restore the disturbed areas and enhance the existing valley vegetation. Stormwater management was also addressed to the satisfaction of TRCA Water Management staff. In addition, during the latter stages of our review, TRCA staff became aware of potential flooding concerns on the site. This was evidenced during the major storm event that occurred on August 19, 2005 when significant damage occurred to the culvert used to access the property from Pine Valley Drive, located within the Regional Municipality of York's Right -of -Way. The watercourse was previously conveyed along the frontage of the lot within a 42 -metre long culvert. 1018 TRCA staff has since worked with both the applicant and the Region to resolve the flooding and access issues, which has resulted in the redesign of the watercourse crossing. The proposed works within the Regional Municipality of York's Right -of -Way will be submitted to the Executive Committee as a separate permit application (Reference No. 656 /07/VAUG - CFN 39734) . Control of Flooding: The proposed development, with the exception of the outfall, will be located beyond the Regional Storm Flood Plain. There will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained throughout construction to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent valley system. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: TRCA staff are satisfied that there will be no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed development. Conservation of Land: The project, more specifically the outfall, 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. Plantings A planting plan has been prepared 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.

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 and alter a watercourse (Right -of -Way east of 7890 Pine Valley Drive), in the City of Vaughan, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Regional Municipality of York. 1019 The purpose is to permit development and the alteration of a watercourse within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed in the Regional Municipality of York's Right -of -Way on the west side of Pine Valley Drive, south of Villa Park Drive, in the City of Vaughan. The works will facilitate the construction of a watercourse crossing and the restoration of the channel, which was previously damaged during the major storm event that occurred on August 19, 2005. The permit will be issued for the period of November 2, 2007 to November 1, 2009 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking indicating that minor revisions will be made to the grading plan, site plan and other plans (where applicable) to the satisfaction of the TRCA, signed by Hayden A. Solomons of Aird & Berlis LLP, dated October 31, 2007, received by the TRCA on October 31, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal involves the construction of a watercourse crossing and the restoration of a channel in order to provide access to 7890 Pine Valley Drive. The works will occur within the Regional Municipality of York's Right -of -Way on the west side of Pine Valley Drive, south of Villa Park Drive, in the City of Vaughan. The owner of 7890 Pine Valley Drive, Villa Nicolini Inc., intends to construct a 5- storey long -term care facility on the site. During our review of that development proposal, TRCA staff became aware of potential flooding concerns in the area. This was evidenced during the major storm event that occurred on August 19, 2005 when significant damage occurred to the original 42 -metre long culvert that served the Villa Nicolini site. TRCA staff has since worked with representatives from the Regional Municipality of York and Villa Nicolini Inc. to resolve the flooding and access issues, which has resulted in the redesign of the watercourse crossing and the restoration of the channel. The Region has authorized Villa Nicolini Inc. to apply for the TRCA permit and to conduct the works within the Regional rig ht -of -way. The proposal involves the replacement of the previous 42 -metre long, 1.9 -metre diameter CSP culvert with a 35 -metre long, 3.24 -metre by 2.21 -metre elliptical CSP culvert. The new larger culvert will reduce the Regional Storm flood plain elevation; however, due to the volume of flow and the topography of the site, the Regional Storm flood plain will overtop the culvert at its northern end. However, the access has been designed to withstand flood flows and to ensure the adjacent development and entrance to 7890 Pine Valley Drive is beyond the limit of the Regional Storm flood plain. 1020 Restoration works are also proposed downstream of the culvert. This area is currently lined with terrafix blocks for stabilization purposes, as the channel changes from a southerly to a westerly flow. This stabilization method has failed and is causing a barrier to fish passage. An alternative stabilization method has been proposed, which will also provide seasonal fish passage. In addition, all debris within the channel and culvert area, including garbage, building material, tree branches, silt and the existing culvert, will be removed and disposed of off -site. The proposed works at 7890 Pine Valley Drive will be submitted to the Executive Committee as a separate permit application (Reference No. 183 /07/VAUG - CFN 39097). Control of Flooding: TRCA staff have reviewed the design drawings for the proposed crossing and channel restoration, as well as the supporting hydraulic analysis, and are satisfied that there will be minimal impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. The proposed works will be an improvement from the previous culvert conditions. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be installed and maintained throughout construction to prevent sediment from entering the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There will be no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed development. Conservation of Land: 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. Furthermore, the works will be conducted during the warmwater fisheries timing window. Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with native, non - invasive plantings and sod to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Endorsement and recommendation to the Province of Ontario on the technical aspects of the proposed rezoning and Official Plan Amendments for 11 George Street, City of Brampton. David Barrow Suzan Hall THAT the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the Ministry of Natural Resources be advised that the technical floodproofing elements of the rezoning and Official Plan Amendment applications associated with the proposed redevelopment of 11 George Street in the City of Brampton have been addressed to the satisfaction of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA); THAT the City of Brampton be advised that TRCA has no objection to the City of Brampton Council enacting the Zoning By -law and Official Plan Amendments associated with the proposed redevelopment of this property, subject to the conditions identified by TRCA staff and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing; THAT TRCA continue to encourage the City of Brampton to complete a comprehensive assessment of flood hazard and mitigation opportunities with consideration for the City of Brampton's objectives for redevelopment of the downtown floodprone areas; THAT staff continue to work cooperatively with the Province of Ontario and the City of Brampton to further assess opportunities for the redevelopment of downtown Brampton; AND FURTHER THAT the City of Brampton, the Province of Ontario and the proponents of development for the 11 George Street applications be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 2006, applications to amend the City of Brampton Official Plan and to rezone the subject property at 11 George Street were submitted to the City of Brampton to facilitate the development of a high -rise residential building. Around the same time, similar applications were submitted for two other sites in downtown Brampton, all of which were located within the Regulatory Floodplain associated with Etobicoke Creek. This area of downtown Brampton has been designated as a Special Policy Area (SPA) by the Province of Ontario, which allows for some development and redevelopment to occur within the floodprone areas, subject to meeting a number of technical requirements (see Attachment 3 for additional details). In the review of these applications by TRCA staff, it was identified that the level of intensification that was being proposed for the sites was greater than that which had been previously approved within the downtown Brampton SPA (including the 27 storey, 278 unit condominium building proposed on the subject property). The proposals did not appear to be consistent with the scale of development envisioned by the Province for SPAs. Additionally, two of the three applications were located within areas of the SPA that are subject to extreme flood depths (in excess of 4 -5 metres), which may preclude the ability for safe access to and from the site in a large flooding event. 1022 TRCA, provincial (Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and Ministry of Natural Resources) and City of Brampton staff have had extensive discussions on these applications and the flood related constraints in downtown Brampton. Through these discussions, the need for a comprehensive assessment of flood hazard, flood risk and mitigation opportunities in the downtown core, prior to new development that proposes significant intensification within floodprone areas, was identified by the province and TRCA. This was deemed necessary to fully consider the increased risk to life and property that may result from adding a large new residential population, new buildings and services to the floodprone areas of downtown Brampton where extreme flood depths and potentially limited emergency access exist. The City of Brampton has initiated this process through the creation of a drainage study which refines the flood plain mapping for the downtown area of Brampton and provides initial options for addressing and remediating flood risk. The next stage of this process will be for Brampton to complete a comprehensive analysis of existing and proposed flood risks in relation to its growth and intensification targets, and in relation to the levels of flood risk and intensification that have been approved by the Province. Given the vital role that downtown Brampton is anticipated to play in meeting the city's intensification and growth targets, opportunities for reducing or eliminating flood risk within downtown Brampton through comprehensive flood remediation works must be considered as part of this assessment. Based upon the work that has been done to date and the site specific conditions, the Province, TRCA and the City of Brampton are prepared to consider the applications associated with the proposed 11 George Street development separately (location illustrated in Attachment 1). This property is located within an area for which safe emergency access can be attained in a Regional Storm Event and only a minimal increase in intensification is proposed over the current zoning for the property (which permits 20 storeys). The current building design, as illustrated in Attachment 2, includes the construction of a 278 unit, 27 storey condominium building with ground level retail uses. This building would incorporate 2 storeys of underground parking and 5 stories of above ground parking. This design incorporates the following floodproofing measures: • passive, dry floodproofing to a minimum of the 1:350 year storm event; • emergency access shall be provided to allow safe access during a Regional Storm Event; and • the building must be designed to withstand the flood flows and velocities of a Regional Storm Event. In addition to the above, the following will be integrated into the building design: • No habitable living space shall be permitted below the Regional Storm flood level. Only retail /commercial uses will be permitted on the ground floor and those floors which would be susceptible to flooding during a Regional Storm Event. • All mechanical and electrical service will be located above Regional Storm flood levels separately. • A comprehensive emergency (flood) evacuation plan and strategy with a commitment to maintain the plan and related training for on -site staff. • All parking will be floodproofed to a minimum of the 1:350 year storm event, with measures included in the evacuation plan for these areas. 1023 Based on the above and the proposed wording of the Official Plan and zoning by -law amendments, which incorporate TRCA and provincial comments, TRCA staff is of the opinion that the established TRCA and provincial technical requirements for development within an SPA have been met. The Province, as the approval authority for SPAs, has implemented a two phase approval process for the proposed change to the existing SPA planning permissions for the 11 George Street property that would be required to implement that Official Plan and zoning by -law amendments. Phase 1 of this process involved, among other things, attaining from TRCA staff endorsement in principle of the applications. On July 17, 2007, a letter was provided by Brian Denney, Chief Administrative Officer, to the City of Brampton with the aforementioned endorsement. Phase 2 of this process requires a resolution from the TRCA Executive Committee advising that there are no further objections or concerns with respect to the proposed rezoning and Official Plan Amendment applications. As TRCA and provincial staff are now satisfied with these applications based upon the above, this resolution is now being requested of the Executive Committee. A future TRCA permit application for the development of the property will be brought forward to the Executive Committee, subsequent to final sign -off being provided by the Province and any outstanding design details being integrated into the site plan application to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. RATIONALE In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Natural Resources and Conservation Ontario, conservation authorities are the delegated authority for the review and consideration of natural hazard issues through the planning process. TRCA staff has reviewed the proposed applications for 11 George Street in accordance with Provincial Policy requirements and TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. Based upon the proposed wording of the Official Plan and zoning by -law amendments, which incorporate TRCA and provincial comments, TRCA staff is of the opinion that the established technical TRCA and provincial requirements for development within an SPA have been met.

ZOOS Attachment 2 1026 Attachment 3 Historical Overview of Brampton SPA Significant portions of the downtown core of the City of Brampton (as illustrated on attachment 1) are subject to flooding (associated with Etobicoke Creek) during a Regional Storm event. Downtown Brampton was historically subject to regular flooding which resulted in significant damage. A major storm event that occurred in 1948 brought significant flooding to much of downtown Brampton. Following the 1948 flood, a flood control channel was constructed to divert Etobicoke Creek to the east of downtown Brampton, however, the historic channel of Etobicoke Creek was not filled, and remains to be a low -lying area. While the flood control channel was constructed to accommodate a substantial flood event, it will not accommodate the flows which would be associated with a Regional Storm event. During a storm of this magnitude, flood flows will spill out of the drainage channel, and into the low -lying areas of downtown Brampton. With few exceptions, in accordance with Provincial policies and guidelines, new large -scale development is not permitted within areas that are prone to significant flood hazard during a Regional Storm event. To provide for the continued viability of communities that have historically existed within the flood plain, some flood prone communities have attained a ' Special Policy Area' (SPA) designation from the Province, to provide for the continued viability of existing uses (which are generally on a small scale) and address the significant social and economic hardships to the community that would result from strict adherence to provincial policies concerning development. Within TRCA's jurisdiction, the Regional Storm event (the equivalent of Hurricane Hazel) is the established flood standard. Within an SPA, floodproofing standards may be reduced (to a level not below the 1:350 year storm event), subject to meeting technical criteria, should it be demonstrated that it is technically impractical to meet the established Provincial standard of the Regional Storm event. An SPA designation was approved by the Province for downtown Brampton in 1986, and incorporated into the City of Brampton Official Plan. This designation provides the opportunity, subject to a number of requirements, for some development and redevelopment to occur within the floodprone areas of downtown Brampton. Since 1986, a number of developments within the downtown Brampton SPA have been endorsed by the TRCA. These developments have generally been of a small scale, or have been commercial type uses which were in keeping with the levels of intensification and flood risk envisioned in the Official Plan when the SPA was approved by the Province. Recently, applications have been brought forward which have proposed levels of intensification that is significantly greater than that which was previously contemplated at the time at which Special Policy Area status was approved for downtown Brampton. These have included proposals for high -rise residential development, which would bring a large number of new residents into the floodprone areas, which due to the flood characteristics and the limited emergency access, may result in a significant increase in risk to life and property within these areas during large storm events. Additionally, the developments that have been recently proposed are within low -lying areas that are subject to the greatest depths of flooding within downtown Brampton (in the order of 4 -5 metres /13 -16 feet), and in which the provision of emergency access or egress during a Regional Storm event may not be feasible. Existing development within these areas has been predominantly characterized by commercial, open space, and mixed -use, commercial - residential development. 1027 The 2005 Provincial Policy Statement provides clarification on the level of intensification that may occur within SPAs. The following is included within the `Special Policy Area' definition within that document: "A Special Policy Area is not intended to allow for new or intensified development or site alteration, if a community has feasible opportunities for development outside of the floodplain ". Based upon the above, prior to development proceeding within Brampton - for which significant intensification (such as high density residential) is being proposed, a comprehensive assessment of development opportunities, flood risk (existing and proposed) and flood remediation opportunities is to be completed for downtown Brampton. 1028 RES.#B140/07 - Moved by: Seconded by: ROUGE PARK Little Rouge East (formerly Markham East) Lands Strategic Land Use Plan. Award of contract to Envision - The Hough Group as sole source contract for the development of the Little Rouge East (formerly Markham East) strategic land use plan for Rouge Park. David Barrow Suzan Hall THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) on behalf of the Rouge Park Alliance confirm the award of contract to Envision - the Hough Group to develop a strategic land use plan for the Little Rouge East (formerly Markham East) lands at a cost not to exceed $95,000 plus applicable taxes; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to take such action as is necessary to implement the contract including the signing and execution of documents CARRIED RATIONALE In 2004, the Ontario provincial government transferred lands in the Little Rouge Corridor (LRC) to Rouge Park and TRCA that expanded the park to north of Steeles Avenue. Subsequently, in 2006 the Province transferred additional lands for Bob Hunter Memorial Park (BHMP) as a part of the Rouge Park family of natural areas. In addition to the land transfers, the provincial government also provided funding for development of master and strategic land use plans for these areas. Rouge Park responded to these transfers by engaging Toronto -based planning consultants to develop plans for the LRC and the BHMP. Envision - The Hough Group (hereafter Envision) provided excellent leadership and project execution and has delivered high quality reports that are in the final phases of approval. In particular, Envision used consistent methodology and philosophy that have allowed appropriate integration of the plans. In early 2007, the Province announced the intent to dedicate an additional tract of land that lies between the eastern boundary of the LRC and Townline Road for Rouge Park purposes and referred to as the Little Rouge East (formerly Markham East) lands (RE). In addition to the dedication of the land, the Province again transferred funding to cover costs associated with the development of a land use plan for the RE lands. Had the announced transfer occurred early enough to include the development of RE in either the LRC or BHMP contracts, Rouge Park would have taken that approach. Unfortunately, the announcement came too late. Rouge Park is interested in the development of a high quality plan for RE that integrates with the other plans that have been prepared for Rouge Park lands north of Steeles Avenue. Rouge Park is also interested in engaging consultants that have experience in this area. Envision has demonstrated competence and Rouge Park believes there is great value in a consistent approach that would come from contracting with Envision for the RE planning. 1029 FINANCIAL DETAILS TRCA's Purchasing Policy is applied in matters where TRCA acts on behalf of the Rouge Park and the Rouge Park Alliance. The policy requires that sole source contracts in access of $50,000 and less than $100,000 must be approved by the Executive Committee. As noted it is the opinion of the Rouge Park that the foregoing contract will provide good value given the extensive work and methodology offered by Envision. Funds for this work are available in the Rouge Park budget. Report prepared by: Robert T. Clay, Rouge Park, 905 - 713 -6022 Email: bob_clay@rougepark.com For Information contact: Robert T. Clay, Rouge Park, 905 - 713 -6022 Email: bob_clay@rougepark.com Date: October 26, 2007 RES.#B141/07 - Moved by: Seconded by: SOLAR -BEE LAKE LUNG FOR HEART LAKE Award of Contract. Award of contract to the firm of H2O Logics Inc. for the delivery and installation of a Solar -Bee water circulator in Heart Lake at Heart Lake Conservation Area. David Barrow Suzan Hall THAT the firm H2O Logics Inc. be retained to deliver and install one Solar -Bee SB10000v12 system in Heart Lake at Heart Lake Conservation Area and to train Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff on its operation and maintenance at a total cost not to exceed $62,940, plus applicable taxes. AND FURTHER THAT staff continue to monitor the performance of this technology to determine its effectiveness at meeting the stated objectives for Heart Lake. CARRIED BACKGROUND Conditions of Heart Lake The Heart Lake Conservation Area Master Plan Background Report (2006) and the draft Gartner Lee Limited Brampton Citywide Lake Assessment Study (2005) both highlight the issues facing Heart Lake, including: • blue -green algae blooms; • low dissolved oxygen concentrations at the bottom of the lake (hypolimnion); • invasive aquatic vegetation; and, • fish health. The solution for a number of these issues was the installation of a lake lung in 1995. Early results from the lake lung were positive in addressing a number of these issues, namely oxygenating the lower levels of the lake and reducing water nutrient levels. 1030 However, since 2005 the system has not operated properly. Given the unique technology of the lake lung, servicing has proven expensive. Repairs to both the structure and compressors were undertaken in the past few years. Despite these investments, the system only operated at 50% capacity during 2007 and not at all during the 2006 season. Staff believe these malfunctions are an indication of the unit being at the end of its lifespan. The issues identified by the Heart Lake Conservation Area Master Plan Background Report (2006) and the draft Gartner Lee Limited Brampton Citywide Lake Assessment Study (2005) are still of concern and threaten the health of Heart Lake. A new solution to these issues is being proposed. Proposed Solution to Lake Conditions The proposed solution to address a number of these concerns is the installation of one solar - powered water circulator by the trade name of Solar -Bee. The Solar -Bee works by drawing water from just above the thermocline and distributing it radially across the lake, exposing it to the atmosphere and sunlight. The technology requires no electricity and three attached solar panels provide enough energy to pump 10,000 gallons of water per minute for up to 24 hours a day. The Solar -Bee's purpose will be to address blue -green algae blooms and invasive aquatic vegetation in the southern bay of Heart Lake (adjacent to the public beach, boat launch and fishing areas). This is also expected to have an indirect benefit in raising dissolved oxygen concentrations in the lower- levels of the lake by reducing organic decomposition. Unlike early aeration systems, the Solar -Bee does not result in unwanted entrainment of nutrients from the sediment. The controlled water intake depth of the system and its non - turbulent flow ensures uniform and controlled mixing without pulling nutrients from the sediment. Furthermore, unlike the lake lung, the Solar -Bee can easily be removed from the water by staff for repairs if required. H2O Logics Inc. of Alberta is the Canadian distributor of the Solar Bee technology. A representative from the company visited with TRCA staff at Heart Lake in September, 2007 to assess the current conditions and offer a recommendation on the use of Solar -Bee technology at that location. The Solar -Bee has a proven track record of success, being implemented in 220 fresh -water lakes throughout Canada and North America (10% of these being partial lake installations). Staff has checked with three municipalities that have installed Solar -Bees, including the City of Brampton, all of which have indicated positive results and exceptional service from the company. Staff propose to continue the monitoring that began in 2005 post -Solar Bee installation to measure its success. It is felt the technology may prove helpful in addressing similar issues in both fresh water lakes and stormwater ponds in other areas of the jurisdiction. 1031 RATIONALE At Authority Meeting #5/06, held on June 23, 2006, the Heart Lake Conservation Area Master Plan (2006) was approved via Resolution #A133/06. The Heart Lake Master Plan provides the following recommendations pertaining to the management of Heart Lake's aquatic health: • monitor and manage algae blooms; • manage the low- dissolved oxygen levels in the bottom waters of the lake; • reduce suspended sediments, chloride and phosphorous loadings; • retrofit lake lung pump house to solar power; • naturalize Heart Lake into a self- sustaining, warm -water fishery; and, • continue to stock Heart Lake with rainbow trout for a put and take recreational fishery. The draft Gartner Lee Limited Brampton Citywide Lake Assessment Study (2005) recommends the following: • Management of the low- dissolved oxygen levels in the bottom of the lake; and, • Maintenance and protection of diverse vegetation community, including protection from invasive species. The installation of the proposed Solar -Bee solution addresses these recommendations by: • managing algae blooms; • managing the low oxygen levels at lower- levels of the lake by reducing organic decomposition; • maintaining a warm -water fishery with the ability to stock rainbow trout; • protecting and enhancing native aquatic vegetation; and, • developing a solar - powered solution to address Heart Lake's aquatic management needs. Staff recommend the installation of one unit to address the southern bay of Heart Lake. The Solar -Bee will have a circulation radius of 10 to 14 hectares and will aid in addressing the issues identified in both the Heart Lake Conservation Area Master Plan Background Report (2006) and the draft Gartner Lee Limited Brampton Citywide Lake Assessment Study (2005) in the southern bay of the lake, while indirectly benefiting the entire lake. Treatment of the entire lake would require the installation of three machines, but this is not seen as necessary at this point in time. FINANCIAL DETAILS This project is part of the Heart Lake Naturalization initiative and will be funded partly ($23,000) by the Peel Natural Heritage Regeneration budget. Additional matching funding ($40,000) will be made available through Heart Lake compensation funding. The unit has a 25 -year lifespan and comes with a 2 -year parts and labour warranty.

SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION RES.#B149/07 - Moved by: Seconded by: CARRIED SOURCE PROTECTION PLANNING Extension of sole source contract to retain a consultant to provide professional services for the CTC Source Protection Region in the drinking water source protection planning process and increase in existing purchase order cap due to increase workload related to enactment of the Clean Water Act, 2006 and regulations. David Barrow Ron Moeser THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the contract with Thorpe & Associates be extended for a period of 3 years, commencing April 1, 2008, based on annual renewals to provide professional services for the source water protection planning process for the CTC Source Protection Region - Toronto and Region Source Protection Authority (TRSPA), Credit Valley Source Protection Authority (CVSPA) and Central Lake Ontario Source Protection Authority (CLOSPA); THAT the contract for the April, 2007 to March 31, 2008 period be amended to increase the cap on funding to Thorpe & Associates to $120,000 per annum plus 10% contingency to address work that must be done to meet deadlines as set out in provincial regulations; THAT funding to Thorpe & Associates be capped at $120,000 per annum plus an annual cost of living increase based on Statistics Canada, Consumer Price Index, Toronto Area, plus a 10% contingency for fiscal years April 2008 to March 2009, April 2009 to March 2010 and April 2010 to March 2011; THAT the contract be subject to termination by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) or Thorpe & Associates, for any reason, upon 30 days notice; THAT this contractual obligation be binding on TRCA acting as lead Source Protection Authority only to the extent that the province continues to provide funding; THAT the contract be reviewed annually by the CTC Management Committee and only continue based on satisfactory performance of the contractor; 1037 AND FURTHER THAT TRCA staff be authorized and directed to take such actions as necessary to implement the contract including the execution and signing of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND As authorized by Authority Resolution #A92/05 at meeting #3/05, held on April 27, 2005, the principle of Thorpe & Associates, Beverley Thorpe, was hired in April, 2005 to provide project management services in support of source water protection planning at the CTC Region and TRCA. The initial contract was for one year with annual renewal in April, 2006 and 2007, ending in March, 2008. The proclamation of the Clean Water Act, 2006 and promulgation of the first set of regulations on July 3, 2007 has imposed new legal and timeline requirements on the legally created source protection authorities, particularly for the Toronto and Region Source Protection Authority (TRSPA) as the lead source protection authority within the CTC Source Protection Region. The program has evolved from the 'no regrets' technical work focus to a legally mandated delivery program, including the creation of a source protection committee that must be supported. The inaugural meeting of the CTC source protection committee (SPC) is December 10, 2007. With these new legal requirements and increased workload, it is essential to ensure that the CTC Region has program management support in place to guide the work in the go- forward period: terms of reference must be submitted by the CTC SPC to TRSPA, Credit Valley Source Protection Authority (CVSPA) and Central Lake Ontario Source Protection Authority (CLOSPA) by August, 2008; technical assessment reports must be completed within one year of the province approving the terms of reference; and source protection plans completed by mid 2012. All these products require preparation of technical material, review and endorsement by the SPC, public consultation and review by the respective source protection authorities prior to submission to the province. The technical work required in respect of source protection planning under the Clean Water Act, 2006 and associated regulations, including the project management services, is funded by the province through a memorandum of agreement with Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities. Starting April 1, 2008, the province has indicated that it plans to fund the source protection authorities for drinking water source protection work through transfer payments. RATIONALE Over the contract period to date Ms. Thorpe has successfully executed her responsibilities. Some examples of the services provided include guiding the technical staff from the three participating conservation authorities (CAs) in preparing workplans, completing technical studies (including peer review), representing the CTC Region on the province -wide committee of project managers, providing advice and support to the CTC Management Committee of Chief Administrative Officers, making presentations to the conservation authority boards, local councils and leading a municipal technical advisory committee comprised of representatives from the planning, works and health departments of all the upper, lower and single tier municipalities wholly or partially within the CTC Region. In addition, Ms. Thorpe, at the request of the province and TRCA, has presented papers on source water issues at a number of conferences and forums and was instrumental in assisting in the development of a near shore study for Lake Ontario. 1038 The drinking water source protection process has broken new ground in water management and requires an experienced project manager. Ms. Thorpe has a wealth of experience, a well established network of senior managers within the province and the project management skills to lead not only the CTC Region activities but also to be a resource for other conservation authorities and source protection committees. The CTC SPC is just being established and both the Chair and members will greatly appreciate the consistent leadership that Ms. Thorpe has shown and will benefit from the historical and technical knowledge that she has available to her. Ms. Thorpe is dedicated to the conservation cause and has dedicated many volunteer hours beyond her contract to support the source protection strategy, estimated at 20% of her reported time. During the three years of her contract, she has not requested an increase in her hourly rate, even though the contract made express provision for this. Ms. Thorpe will be mentoring some of the technical staff over the next 3 years to allow their professional development to meet the needs of the succession planning process. Ms. Thorpe has extensive experience prior to undertaking this assignment with TRCA with over 25 years' experience at the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, as a senior manager in the operations, policy development, and environmental sciences divisions, both nationally and internationally. She has extensive background in managing projects in the public and private sector. Critical to the success of source water protection, Ms. Thorpe is skilled at facilitation and consultation with a wide - variety of stakeholders on complex and controversial projects. She holds a Master of Science degree, jointly with the Department of Botany and Institute for Environmental Studies, University of Toronto. She conducted field research in remote areas in northern Canada focusing on the effects of oil pollution on aquatic environments. Senior staff at the CLOCA and CVC are in support of this contract. FINANCIAL DETAILS This position is funded completely from allocation by the Province of Ontario for source water protection planning.

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is in receipt of a request from Nancy Ferguson and Drasko Puselijic to explore the possibility of the sale of a fragment of TRCA -owned land located on the west side of Scarboro Crescent, south of Romana Drive (abutting the south boundary of 4 Scarboro Crescent, within Scarborough Bluffs Park), City of Toronto - Scarborough Community Council Area, Lake Ontario waterfront. Suzan Hall Richard Whitehead THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) -owned land located on the west side of Scarboro Crescent, south of Romana Drive (abutting the south boundary of 4 Scarboro Crescent, within Scarborough Bluffs Park), City of Toronto - Scarborough Community Council Area, be retained for conservation and park purposes. CARRIED BACKGROUND A letter was received from Nancy Ferguson and Drasko Puselijic requesting the sale of a fragment of TRCA -owned land, situated on the west side of Scarboro Crescent, within Scarborough Bluffs Park, as an addition to the side yard of their property at 4 Scarboro Crescent. At Executive Committee Meeting #5/05, held on July 8, 2005, Resolution #B86/05 was approved as follows: THAT the potential disposal of a fragment of land on the west side of Scarboro Crescent, south of Romana Drive (abutting the south boundary of 4 Scarboro Crescent), City of Toronto - Scarborough Community Council Area 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. In 2004, TRCA completed the sale of the parcel of land, which abuts 4 Scarboro Crescent, to the owners of 25 Midland Avenue. Nancy Ferguson and Drasko Puselijic have requested that the Executive Committee be made aware of all the facts and circumstances regarding the sale to the owners of 25 Midland Avenue. 1040 25 Midland Avenue In 1990, TRCA received a request from the owners of 25 Midland Avenue to purchase 0.012 hectares (0.029 acres) of land at the rear of their property from TRCA. In accordance with TRCA's disposal policy, the request was brought to the attention of the Authority and was reviewed with TRCA's technical staff and the local and regional municipalities (City of Scarborough and the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto). The subject property was not affected by any TRCA programs and policies at that time and no municipal objections to the sale were received. In 1995, the Authority approved the sale of land to the owners of 25 Midland Avenue. Due to financial difficulties, the owners could not proceed with the completion of the transaction until 2003. 4 Scarboro Crescent This request was circulated to TRCA technical staff and staff of the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department. The following comments were received: TRCA's Technical Staff These TRCA lands are part of Scarborough Bluffs Park and are regulated pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06. It is staff's opinion that the subject tablelands provide an important connection to the waterfront corridor in this location and should be protected. There is potential to improve the natural features and functions of this property through regeneration with native plant material; loss of this land would be contrary to TRCA's Terrestrial Natural Heritage System Strategy program interests. City of Toronto Parks Forestry & Recreation Staff The City of Toronto new Official Plan includes policies with respect to the sale or disposal of publicly -owned and city -owned lands in the city's green space system. Specifically, Policy 2.3.2.4 states: "The sale or disposal of publicly -owned lands in Parks and Open Space Areas is discouraged, and no city -owned lands in Parks and Open Space Areas will be disposed of. ". As the subject lands are considered part of the city's greenspace system within Scarborough Bluffs Park and are managed as parks by the city, staff would not support the disposal of these lands. A plan illustrating the location of the subject lands is attached.

David Barrow Ron Moeser WHEREAS THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) was identified as the recipient agency to undertake the naturalization and flood protection of the mouth of the Don River; WHEREAS in December, 2002, Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC) and TRCA signed a Delivery Agreement for the sum of $2 million dollars for the delivery of two Environmental Assessments: the Lower Don River West Remedial Flood Protection Project (LDRW Project) and the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project (DMNP Project); WHEREAS in February, 2004, staff was authorized to retain a consulting team led by Gartner Lee Limited (GLL) to an upset limit of $1,194,896 for the Environmental Assessment for the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project (EA for the DMNP Project); WHEREAS in June, 2004, the three levels of government authorized TWRC to increase the upset limit of the Delivery Agreement for the DMNP Project to $3 million in recognition of the added cost to undertake two separate environmental assessments, increased administration costs and additional design requirements; 1043 WHEREAS in 2006, TRCA and TWRC sought approval from the three levels of government to further increase the Delivery Agreement by $1,300,000 to $4,300,000 including an increase of $1,018,460 for TRCA and Gartner Lee expenses, in recognition of an expanded scope of work and study area, further added complexity related to new waterfront issues and an increased contingency to address uncertainty related to other possible issues; WHEREAS in February, 2007, TWRC postponed approval of the $1,300,000 until the resolution of TWCC's International Design Competition for the Lower Don Lands, due to a further anticipated increase in study area and scope of work; WHEREAS in September, 2007, TWRC submitted to the levels of government a budget request to increase the Delivery Agreement by $3,259,538 (including the postponed budget request of $1,300,000) to $6,259,538 to address additional data collection needs and the further expansion of the study area, scope of work and level of assessment required to incorporate the results of the International Design Competition for the Lower Don Lands; WHEREAS in October, 2007, TWRC subsequently amended this request to the original $4,300,000 sum to expedite the level of governments' ability to flow resources within approved budgets with the understanding that a subsequent request would be made to enable completion of the work; WHEREAS in November, 2007, TWRC received approval from the levels of government to increase the existing Delivery Agreement (December, 2002) by $1,300,000 to $4,300,000; WHEREAS in 2008, TWRC and TRCA will be required to enter into a second Delivery Agreement with an anticipated upset limit of $1,959,538, subject to the execution of a new Contribution Agreement between TWRC and the levels of government, to meet the remainder of TRCA's budget request submitted in September, 2007; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA enter into an amendment of the existing Delivery Agreement with TWRC for the DMNP Project increasing the upset limit to $4,300,000; THAT TRCA staff be authorized to amend the existing contract with the consultant team led by Gartner Lee Limited (GLL) to an upset limit of $1,699,548 plus an additional $50,449 to cover expenses incurred by the consultant team during TWCC's International Design Competition for the Lower Don Lands, subject to the execution of the amendment for the existing Delivery Agreement between TWRC and TRCA for the DMNP Project; THAT staff be authorized and directed to take all necessary actions to enter into a second Delivery Agreement with TWRC and such other legal agreements as may be necessary, to an upset limit of $1,959,538, subject to the execution of a second Contribution Agreement between TWRC and the levels of government, in order to complete the EA for the DMNP Project; 1044 AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized and directed to take all necessary actions to implement the foregoing, including the signing and execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #5/06, held on June 23, 2006, Resolution Res. #A143/06 was approved, in part, as follows: ...THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA enter into an amended Eligible Recipient Agreement with TWRC providing an additional $1,018,460.00 (excluding any additional costs for TWRC) for the second stage of the DMNP Project; THAT following authorization by TWRC, the contract for the consultant team led by Gartner Lee Limited be increased from $1,182,100.00 to $1,706,716.39 plus $256,007.46 for contingencies;...* *Total value of the request at the time was to increase the Delivery Agreement from $3,000,000 to $4,300,000 million, including Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC) expenses. In October, 2006, TWRC determined that a new approach was required to integrate the many initiatives of the Lower Don Lands and proceeded to undertake an International Design Competition for the Lower Don Lands. The design competition included the entire naturalization study area of the environmental assessment for the EA for the DMNP Project, excluding the Don Narrows, between January and May, 2007. The purpose of the design competition was to retain a design team that could produce a unifying vision for the revitalization of the Lower Don Lands area while demonstrating an understanding of the array of physical, ecological, operational and socioeconomic issues that required consideration under such a vision. In February, 2007, TWRC postponed the execution of the Delivery Agreement amendment when it became apparent that the International Design Competition would further increase the scope of work and study area to be contemplated through the EA for the DMNP Project and its associated costs. In May, 2007, a team led by Michael Van Valkenburg Associates (MWA) was selected through TWRC's Design Competition. The principal result of the design competition was to greatly enrich the range of naturalization and recreation opportunities to be considered through the EA for the DMNP Project by expanding the size of the study area, relocating the primary river channel and natural areas away from the dense infrastructure network surrounding 480 Lakeshore Boulevard and increasing the level of integration with and consideration for the development of the surrounding urban areas through design. At Authority Meeting #5/07, held on June 22, 2007, Mr. Chris Glaisek, TWRC's Vice President of Planning and Design, presented the results of the Lower Don Lands International Design Competition and highlighted the opportunities that the competition provided as it relates to the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project Environmental Assessment. 1045 Since May, 2007, TRCA staff and the consultant team led by GLL have been working closely with MWA, TWRC and the City of Toronto to ensure that the alignment of the Don River mouth proposed in the MWA vision is seamlessly integrated into the EA for the DMNP Project and that all alternatives are fairly and equally evaluated against each other and the 'do nothing' alternative. In September, 2007, TWRC submitted a request to the three levels of government for an amendment to increase the existing Delivery Agreement upset limit from $3,000,000 to $6,259,538 (which includes the $1,300,300 amendment request previously identified at Authority Meeting #5/06). In November, 2007, the levels of government amended the Contribution Agreement with TWRC from $3,000,000 to $4,300,000. A Contribution Agreement is the legal instrument used by the three levels of government to fund TWRC for a particular project, which in turns allows for the execution of a Delivery Agreement between TWRC and its eligible recipient (i.e. TRCA). TWRC subsequently amended this request to the original $4,300,000 sum to expedite the level of governments' ability to flow resources within the existing approved budgets at TWRC with the understanding that a subsequent request would be made to enable completion of the work. TRCA is working with TWRC to amend the existing Delivery Agreement to correspond with the signed Contribution Agreement of $4,300,000. Once executed, TRCA staff intend to amend the contract with the consultant team led by GLL to reflect an increase in their eligible expenses from $1,194,896 to $1,699,548, plus an additional $50,449 to cover costs incurred for their team's participation during TWRC's International Design Competition and plus applicable taxes. The amended Contribution Agreement contains a general contingency of which approximately $130,000.00 remains unallocated. TRCA was informed by TWRC that a second Contribution Agreement will be required in early 2008 to authorize the remainder of the September, 2007 budget request of $1,959,538. It is intended that when this second Contribution Agreement between the levels of government and TWRC is signed, the subsequent Delivery Agreement between TWRC and TRCA will be executed shortly thereafter. FINANCIAL DETAILS TRCA expenses will be billed through the 191- series of accounts assigned to the EA for the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project and will be funded by TWRC.

CARRIED 1047 BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #3/01, held on April 27, 2001, Resolution #A58/01 was approved, in part, as follows: THAT the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario, and the City of Toronto be advised that the TRCA will undertake the Naturalization and Flood Protection for the Lower Don River: Environmental Assessment and Functional Design component of the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Initiative and will make every reasonable effort to complete the project through to the submission of the Environmental Assessment within the 18 month time frame established for the work; AND FURTHER THAT the staff proceed as quickly as possible to hire the appropriate consultants that have proven expertise for this project in such a manner that expedites the process while providing a cost effective approach and achieving excellence in design and the incorporation of the City of Toronto's policies for environmental sustainability. Further, a Resolution Not Requiring Board Approval for a Sole Source Request for Proposal (Meeting RFP #2/07 - Sole Source ($10,000 to $50,000)), was approved, in part, as follows: THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) retain DCS to undertake the technical oversight for a subsurface investigation program on behalf of TEDCO in support of the DMNP EA to an upset limit of $20,450.00 plus 10% contingency (plus applicable taxes), subject to the necessary funding being authorized by TWRC. The Environmental Assessment for the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project is currently at the stage of evaluating a list of alternatives down to two preferred alternatives. This stage of the EA should be completed by March, 2008, at which time a very detailed evaluation of environmental impacts will be conducted on the remaining alternatives under consideration. As such, it will be critically important in March or April, 2008 that the EA team is in possession of information summarizing the existing soil and groundwater conditions across the entire study area in order to be able to assess the potential environmental and financial implications of these subsurface conditions on the remaining alternatives under consideration. TRCA and TWRC are working on the framework for a Delivery Agreement that will authorize TRCA to proceed with the subsurface investigations. TRCA and DCS are also working to develop a Request for Quotations, with the assistance of TEDCO and TWRC, that will be submitted to three firms that have been pre - qualified by TWRC as being eligible to undertake subsurface investigations. These firms include: • Seacor Environmental Incorporated; • Stantec Consulting Limited; and • Water and Earth Science Associates Limited (WESA). 1048 The Request for Quotations will outline a subsurface investigation program devised by DCS, with input from TEDCO regarding property access and availability of existing data. DCS will review the received quotations from the three firms and recommend one of the firms to undertake the proposed subsurface investigation to TRCA, TEDCO and TWRC. TRCA will sign a contract with the successful firm to undertake the subsurface investigations with an anticipated upset limit of $300,000 (taxes and contingency included). Subsurface data collected by the successful firm will be analyzed and summarized in support of the technical evaluation of the short list of alternatives remaining under consideration for the EA for the DMNP Project in Spring, 2008. FINANCIAL DETAILS Expenses generated by the successful firm in relation to the subsurface investigations will be billed to a new account called 191 -20 (Subsurface Investigations) and expenses generated by TRCA staff in support of this work will continue to be billed to the existing account for the EA for the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project 191 -02. Funds will be provided by TWRC under the Delivery Agreement. Costs incurred by TEDCO staff will be billed directly to TWRC through the mechanisms outlined in their Memorandum of Understanding between TWRC, City of Toronto and TEDCO.

Stream flow in Spring Creek originated from Spring Creek Well, a former municipal water supply well (artesian flowing well) that had not been decommissioned. In 2002, Spring Creek Well stopped flowing due to lowering of groundwater levels during construction dewatering for the installation of the 16th Avenue York Durham Sewage System (YDSS) sanitary sewer. As a result, there was no water supply to Spring Creek and the creek went dry and filled with vegetation and debris. Prior to this the well flowed at a rate of approximately 600 litres per minute (9 to 12 litres per second) from the Thorncliffe Aquifer into Spring Creek, which joins Robinson Creek south of 16th Avenue. Construction of the sewer is near completion and the aquifer has begun to rebound. It is anticipated the Spring Creek Well will start flowing again in the near future and flow to Spring Creek will resume. In preparation for this restoration, works are being implemented to protect and enhance fish habitat prior creek flow. Project Description: To restore Spring Creek to a condition similar to that designed in 1995, the following is proposed: Step 1. Channel Clean -out This component involves the clean -out of organic forest debris, living plants and organic soils from the channel bed. Forest soil has formed and mixed with the course gravel that was originally placed in the channel in 1995. To achieve a similar channel depth and capacity as originally designed, the top four (4) centimetres (cm) of this "dirty" substrate will be removed and replaced with clean substrate. The entire length of Spring Creek (approximately 256 metres (m)) will be cleaned out by using hand tools (shovels and rakes), with no heavy equipment to be used in the channel or on the banks. Material removed from the channel will be side cast into the forest, a minimum distance of 2 m from Spring Creek. This work will be completed "in- the -dry" prior to flow returning to Spring Creek. Where Spring Creek flows into Robinson Creek, fine sediment has deposited along the west bank of Robinson Creek, and covered the coarse sediment at the mouth of Spring Creek. It is suggested this occurred because of the lack of stream flow from Spring Creek to maintain a clean channel. This material (approximately 0.75 cubic metres) will be removed and side cast and evenly distributed into the wooded area at least 2 m away from any watercourse. Step 2. Re- anchor Large Rocks into Bank The banks of Spring Creek were originally lined with rocks to contain stream flow. Some of these rocks have become dislodged and fallen into Spring Creek. These rocks will be replaced along the bank, in a stable position. 1079 Step 3. Placement of Clean Material Once Steps 1 and 2 have been completed, new clean substrate will be placed in the channel, such that the final elevation of the channel bed is similar to that prior to cleaning out the channel bed (i.e. new substrate will be placed to a depth of 4 cm). The substrate to be placed will be free of any fine particulate matter and will be comprised of non - angular particles: 25 % <0.5mm; 25% 0.5 -1.0 mm; 25% 1.0 to 25mm; and 25% 25 to 45 mm diameter in size. This will be in accordance with the 1995 design which followed this criteria: • the substrate in the bottom of the creek must protect underlying soil and prevent it from eroding; • the stream substrate must contain particles of appropriate size for spawning; and • the substrate must be stable during expected flows. The various particle sizes will be mixed prior to placing in the creek bed to ensure uniform dispersion in the channel bed. Approximately 3.1 cubic metres of sand and gravel will be required to line the bed of Spring Creek. It will be placed in the channel with hand tools and will be placed as the existing substrate is removed thereby minimizing the amount of exposed soil. No more than 30 m of creek bed will be exposed at one time. Non - designated Crossings Local park users have created several unofficial side trails causing stream banks to be trampled resulting in exposed fine soils along the banks. The Town of Markham has stated that no bridges or culverts may be installed at non - designated crossing locations. To mitigate this it is proposed to place larger cobble (approximately 45 to 100 mm in median diameter) at four locations where unofficial trails cross Spring Creek. This cobble will be placed in such a way as to allow water to flow around and over the rock, but also provide a solid substrate, which will help reduce erosion and sedimentation at unofficial crossings. Town of Markham staff is revising requirements for providing permanent crossings and will continue discussions with TRCA and York Region staff in this regard. Control of Flooding: The storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be impacted by the proposed works. Pollution: Due to the minor nature of the proposed works, erosion and sedimentation impacts to Robinson Creek and Spring Creek are not anticipated as the site is fairly flat, overland flow is minimal and the site is protected from impact erosion by a dense riparian cover. Further, works will be completed under dry conditions before flow returns to Spring Creek. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There will be no slope stability or erosion concerns with the proposed works. 1080 Conservation of Land: As work will be completed under dry conditions, 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). Plantings Disturbed areas will be restored to existing conditions 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: The applicant seeks permission to undertake grading and to permanently place fill materials within a Regulated Area associated with a tributary of the Little Rouge Creek. The purpose of the grading and filling is to improve the Timber Creek Golf facility by creating one putting green and two shallow berms of 1.6 metres in height. The works are located in the northwest quadrant of the community of Stouffville and are 30 metres inland from a headwater tributary of the Little Rouge Creek and approximately 10 metres from the drip line of adjacent vegetation. TRCA staff had previously reviewed and had no objections to a zoning and site plan application for the works in the early 1990's. Both the putting green and berms are partially within an 'estimated' flood plain area pursuant to TRCA's Generic Regulation mapping. The works forming part of this application were constructed earlier this year without a permit. A permit application has now been submitted so that the works might obtain the required TRCA approval pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06. Control of Flooding: TRCA water management staff have examined the plans and profiles of the putting green and berms. Based on the extent of grading proposed, it is expected that the works will have negligible impact on the storage and conveyance of flood waters. 1084 Pollution: As the works have been completed, there are no concerns with respect to sediment and erosion control.

The subject property is located within the Enford Industrial Area where a number of existing industrial buildings on nearby and /or adjacent properties are subject to flooding as a result of historic modifications to German Mills Creek. Through past discussions with stakeholders, the Town of Richmond Hill, and Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), it was agreed that a comprehensive flood remedial strategy be developed. To address this matter, a study was completed and approved to identify options for a flood remedial strategy for the broader community. It is intended that components of this strategy will be implemented through future development applications such as this project. The ultimate implementation of this strategy will alleviate flooding within the Enford Industrial Area. A report has been submitted with this application confirming that the proposed development is in compliance with, and has no negative impact on the above noted report. As a result of construction, the subject property and will be removed from the Regional Storm Floodplain. Control of Flooding: Based on our review of the report submitted with this application, the subject property will be removed from the Regional Storm Floodplain and the proposed works are in compliance with the overall flood remedial strategy. As such, no impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters is anticipated. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls (i.e., silt fence) will be installed and maintained during 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: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this application. Plantings No significant vegetation will be removed. As such, no additional plantings are not required.

The permit will be issued for the period of December 7, 2007 to December 6, 2009 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of undertaking provided by Robert Cooper, Alterra -Finer (Brampton) Inc., dated December 5, 2007, to acknowledge and accept the conditions of permit approval and release. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: This permit application is to permit the construction of foundations associated with a proposed high -rise residential building located at 11 George Street (now 9 George Street) in the City of Brampton. The subject property is located within the Regulatory Floodplain, in the Downtown Brampton Special Policy Area (SPA). To facilitate the proposed development on the subject property, rezoning and Official Plan amendment applications were required to allow for the building which is presently proposed. These amendments required Provincial approval, in addition to endorsement from the TRCA. A recommendation report, which was supported by the Executive Committee, was brought forward to the Executive Committee at the November 2, 2007 meeting to provide TRCA's concurrence with the technical elements of the proposed planning applications. This report identified that future permit applications would be brought forward for the development of the site, subsequent to final sign -off being provided by the Province, and any outstanding design details being integrated into the site plan application, to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. It is the understanding of TRCA staff that final sign -off on the applications has not been provided by the Province to date, but that a target date of December 12, 2007, was set to allow the planning applications to be enacted by Brampton City Council at their December, 2007 meeting. Due to the long process of attaining approvals for the subject property, all agencies are working to expedite the final approvals for the proposed development. In this regard, it is also the understanding of TRCA staff that upon enactment of the planning approvals by City Council, City staff would be willing to contemplate the issuance of conditional approvals for the construction of the foundations of the building. TRCA staff are satisfied, based upon the materials submitted to date, that the proposed foundations can meet TRCA's floodproofing requirements. 1114 Although it would be the preference of TRCA staff to not bring forward permit applications associated with the development of this site, until such time as the Provincial approvals are finalized, there is the potential for Provincial and City approvals to be provided well in advance of the next Executive Committee meeting, which would be the next opportunity for the subject permit to be considered. As a result, TRCA staff would recommend that 'conditional' approval be provided for this application, such that the permit could be finalized by TRCA staff, and released, at such time as confirmation has been provided by the Province and the City of Brampton with regard to their satisfaction. Additionally, prior to the release of this permit, TRCA staff would require that a satisfactory letter be provided by the proponent's structural engineer to ensure that the proposed foundations will meet TRCA standards. In support of this application, the Alterra Group has provided a letter of undertaking that confirms their commitment to the above noted conditions. Specifically, the Alterra Group has acknowledged that this permit will not be issued until such time as confirmation has been provided by the Province and the City of Brampton with respect to the approval of the planning applications, and the construction of the foundations. And, the Alterra Group has acknowledged that any construction works completed under this permit that are initiated in advance of final site plan approval being granted, are at their own risk, and that they will be responsible for any remedial works, should they be required to meet the requirements of the final site plan approval. An additional permit application for the remainder of the building will be brought forward to the Executive Committee for consideration at a later date, at such time as TRCA staff are in a position to provide final endorsement of the site plan application. Control of Flooding: The subject property, and proposed development are located within an SPA, and the Regulatory Floodplain. TRCA staff have reviewed the supporting technical analysis, and are satisfied that the building will be constructed to meet TRCA's floodproofing criteria. Additionally, TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed development will not adversely impact upon the storage or conveyance of flood flows, beyond levels which have been anticipated for Special Policy Areas. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed and maintained throughout all phases of construction. Additionally, through the re- development of this site, contaminated materials are being removed from the site, and the site remediated. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns related to this application. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this project. 1115 Plantings Due to the urban location, and the scope of the development proposed on the site, plantings beyond the City's landscaping requirements are not feasible. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is in consistent with Section 4.2.1 - Development and Redevelopment /Intensification within Established Communities /Highly Urbanized Communities - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

The purpose is to erect two structures and undertake site grading within the Regulated Area in order to facilitate the expansion of the Earth Rangers Facility within the Kortright Conservation Area on lands leased from TRCA. The permit will be issued for the period of December 7, 2007 to December 6, 2009 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Drawing No. A01.0, Proposed Site Plans, prepared by Dutra Architect Inc., dated October 2007, Revision No. 3, revised on November 15, 2007, received by TRCA on November 26, 2007, red -line revised by TRCA staff on December 4, 2007. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: Within a Regulated Area associated with the Humber River valleylands, the applicant seeks permission to erect a new training centre, an aviary and undertake construction related grading. The proposed facilities are to form part of the Earth Rangers Wildlife Centre within the Kortright Conservation Area on lands subject to a long -term lease. The training centre and aviary buildings were not part of the initial TRCA permit for the facility approved by the Executive Committee at its meeting #5/02 on June 7, 2002. Staff have reviewed the locations of the proposed structures and find that they respect the limits of development established during the initial permit process and do not encroach into the adjacent Humber River valleylands. A chain link fence is included in the proposal to surround the new structures. 1116 Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. There will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment fencing is to be installed in order to isolate the disturbed area from the surrounding valleylands. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no erosion or slope stability concerns with this proposal. Conservation of Land: The proposed structures and related grading works are located on an area that was previously disturbed for the construction of the facility and are presently manicured lawn. No trees or other significant vegetation is to be removed during construction. Plantings A planting plan was implemented by the proponent during the first phase of development. Since no vegetation is to be removed during this phase, TRCA staff have not required additional plantings. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.1.1 -New Development- of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The 14 hectare property located on the east side of Highway 27 and Islington Avenue in the community of Kleinburg consisted of grass covered vacant tablelands with areas of recent fill deposition. 1120 Following extensive consultation with the City of Vaughan and the local community, TRCA staff completed detailed design drawings on March 1, 2005. The drawings showed how the existing tablelands would be significantly enhanced by importing and strategically placing clean surplus soil to create the desired landforms. The importation of clean fill facilitates the creation of wetland and interpretive features, while providing the foundation for diverse habitat and public features. The soil placement also provides the desired sound and visual attenuation structures for the neighbouring residential community. Upon completion of the fill placement and grading phase of the project and subject to available revenues, TRCA staff will implement the landscape elements, including pedestrian trails and plantings as shown on the attached layout plan. It was the opinion of staff that sources of clean surplus soil would be available to complete the regeneration objectives, generate the necessary revenue to offset project implementation costs and allow for costs associated with the management of the property. Associated with the importation of clean fill, TRCA has implemented a soils quality control program to ensure and confirm that soils placed on TRCA -owned lands are analyzed for selected organic and inorganic parameters, as included in the Soil, Groundwater and Sediment Standards for Use Under Part XV.I of the Environmental Protection Act of Ontario. As part of the conveyance of the 14 hectare property on June 22, 2005 from City of Vaughan to TRCA, a stewardship agreement was completed in which TRCA assumed the long term management responsibilities associated with the 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. Detailed Project Chronology Community Planning and Consultation: • Pre -2001: Kleinburg and Area Ratepayers' Association (KARA) and City of Vaughan secure 14 hectares of land from a local developer to be designated for passive use forested area. • October 2001: KARA asks City of Vaughan to transfer this land to TRCA for passive use as Kleinburg New Forest North. • February 2002: KARA urges City of Vaughan to reach agreement with TRCA to create new forest. Some discussion from local residents on need for soccer fields and potential use of the site. • June 2002: Presentation to KARA from Kleinburg and Nobleton Soccer Club requesting that KARA support the installation of soccer fields on the north side. City of Vaughan provides sketch of proposed soccer field site near water tower. KARA believes that there may be considerable concern by Weaver Court residents who were told by the City and developer that their lots would be backing onto forested parkland. • October 2002 - November 2002: KARA organizes a public meeting for January 2003 to solicit community opinion on desired use of open space area, particularly in regard to soccer fields. 1121 • January 28, 2003: City of Vaughan and KARA public meeting is held at Kleinburg Public School regarding the proposed use of the site. Opinions varied at the meeting with Weaver Court residents very opposed to the soccer field usage behind their homes, while soccer club advocates were vocal about the need for more soccer fields in Kleinburg. • March 2003: City of Vaughan announces they have no funds in 2003 for soccer field expansion. • March 2004: Councillor Peter Meffe informs KARA via letter that the City of Vaughan will transfer the 14 hectares of North Open Space to TRCA for use as passive recreational forested area. • May 2004- Jan 2005: At the request of KARA, TRCA, in conjunction with Vaughan staff and KARA, plan the New Forest North design. • March 1, 2005: KARA holds 'Open Space Open House' at Kleinburg Library for public consultation and comment on TRCA plan. TRCA provides an in -depth presentation of the design and fields many questions from the floor as well as informally after the meeting. The plan involves the importation of clean fill to create the landscape features and generate revenue to cover costs associated with the open space development and long term management. Over thirty residents in attendance. Residents overwhelmingly support the plan at the public meeting. • March 29, 2005: KARA holds Annual General Meeting and TRCA once again presents the New Forest North design plan. Motion is passed by all KARA members advising TRCA and City of Vaughan to proceed with the New Forest Plan as presented. The TRCA plan is formally approved by KARA. • May 2005: In the Kleinburg Spirit, KARA reports on the presentation at their Annual General Meeting and support for TRCA's Kleinburg New Forest North design. • May 3, 2006: KARA convenes a public meeting at the Kleinburg Golf Club to inform and seek suggestions to reduce impact of the construction phase upon local residents. TRCA discusses use of various fill material, work staging, dust, mud and sediment control measures. City of Vaughan staff are in attendance. TRCA Board Approvals At Authority Meeting #1/06, held on February 24, 2006, Resolution #A4/06 authorized TRCA staff to proceed with implementation of the Kleinburg New Forest North project. An advertisement was placed in the Daily Commercial News requesting tenders from interested parties to undertake the required earth works. 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. 1122 COMPENSATION OFFERED $3.51 per cubic metre $3.15 per cubic metre $2.70 per cubic metre $2.55 per cubic metre $2.50 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 Inc. met all TRCA requirements and included the highest price per cubic metre compensation of the nine tenders received. At Authority Meeting #6/06, held on July 28, 2006 , Resolution #A166/06 authorized TRCA staff to award Contract RSD06 /07 for the supply and placement of clean soil for the Kleinburg New Forest North project. Project Implementation Site work commenced in the fall of 2006 with the installation of sediment control fencing. The first construction access road was installed in January, 2007 along Islington Avenue. The second access was installed in August, 2007 at Highway 27 north of Islington Avenue. The contractor commenced the process of importing and placing shale (rock), clay and sand on January 23, 2007. This process is on -going as source material becomes available. The use of shale will be restricted to the core of the berm. The shale will be capped with clay type soils followed by a minimum 1.5 metre topsoil final cover, suitable for seeding and tree planting. Approximately 40,000 cubic metres of shale and 20,000 cubic metres of soil has been placed to date. As part of TRCA's due diligence process, staff pre- approve all materials prior to delivery to the Kleinburg site. This process involves the review of soil characterization reports, including laboratory certificates of analysis. In addition, prior to soil delivery, TRCA staff complete inspections at all source sites to confirm soil and site conditions are in conformance with consultants reports. Once the contractor is given permission to deliver soil, TRCA staff inspect imported soil at the receiving site. Unannounced site inspections at the source site continue throughout the delivery process. Representative soil samples are collected at the receiving site and delivered to Entech Laboratories for chemical analysis. The soil quality program implemented on the Kleinburg New Forest North project mirrors the Lakefill Quality Control Program (LQCP) that has been in use at all lakefill sites on the Toronto waterfront during the past 20 years. The LQCP was designed and implemented by TRCA in 1988 at the request of the Ministry of the Environment (MOE). The LQCP program has been used successfully to pre- approve, monitor and audit the placement of over 5 million cubic metres of soil and shale at various Toronto waterfront sites. Further, TRCA has successfully implemented a soil quality program at similar habitat and regeneration sites on TRCA lands, including Claireville, Kortright, Rouge Park and Boyd North. A total of eleven audit samples have been collected by TRCA and analysed by Entech Laboratories with results compared to selected organic and inorganic parameters as included in the Soil, Groundwater and Sediment Standards for Use Under Part XV.I of the Environmental Protection Act (2004), Table 1 -Full Depth Background Condition Standards - Non - agricultural property use. The standards in Table 1 are background values derived from the Ontario Typical Range values. MOE Table 2- Residential Parkland property use standards, are used for comparison of petroleum hydrocarbon values since no criteria has been established by MOE within Table 1. TRCA audit results showed Boron in one sample at a concentration of 1.6 ug /g (ug /g =parts per million), marginally above the MOE Table 1 criteria of 1.5 ug /g. A second sample collected from the same source on the same day showed Boron at 0.23 ug /g, well below Table 1 criteria. Boron is a naturally occurring non - metalic element and an essential plant micronutrient. Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) exceeded the criteria of 2.4 in 5 samples 1123 with the highest value reported at 5.4. It should be noted that elevated SAR is not an indication of contamination and does not pose a risk to human health. Elevated SAR values are typically associated with road salts used for de -icing in winter and dust control in summer. Elevated SAR values (above 12) can be problematic in surface soil, as it can negatively impact plant growth. All results reported to date indicate SAR levels at between 0.2 and 5.4, and are representative of the sub -soils that will make up the berm core, which in turn will be covered with a 1.5 metre topsoil cap. As a result, there will be no negative environmental impact on vegetation. In summary, none of the test results showed any significant exceedences, and the soil can be deemed to be clean. The contractor is responsible for maintaining both dust and mud control over the duration of the contract. Although challenging at times, the contractor has been able to maintain overall control of both tasks. TRCA staff is working closely with City of Vaughan enforcement staff to monitor site conditions. Although a few complaints related to mud and dust have been received, overall, the City of Vaughan, York Region and KARA have been satisfied with the contractor's dust and mud controls. Updates regarding issues associated with the implementation of the New Forest North project are prepared periodically by TRCA staff and sent out electronically to City of Vaughan Parks Development Department, Councillor Meffe and KARA. Site Occurrences Starting on July 25, 2007 and continuing over a three day period, the contractor imported and placed brick rubble as a means of creating and improving existing haul roads. Brick rubble, similar to shale, is defined as 'Inert Fill' by MOE and is allowed under the current agreement between TRCA and the contractor. Although the bulk of the brick rubble delivered to the site was clean, some loads contained construction debris (wood, steel and plastic). The contractor collected the equivalent of three pick up truck loads of debris and disposed of this material off -site. At the request of TRCA, no additional brick rubble was delivered to the site. MOE staff has visited the site, discussed the occurrence with TRCA staff (including clean -up efforts) and are satisfied that no issues of environmental concern remain. On July 27, 2007, TRCA received a complaint via voice mail from Mr. Richard Lorello related to the importation of brick rubble and site hours of operation. TRCA staff immediately contacted Mr. Lorello via telephone and informed him of the inclusion of brick rubble within the terms of the agreement with the contractor and that the debris was being removed. Regarding Mr. Lorello's second concern over the extended hours, the contractor delivered soil beyond the 5:00 pm limit on a few occasions. TRCA quickly resolved the issue with the contractor and no work beyond the agreed hours of operation has occurred since. Although the municipal by -law allows work until 7:00 pm, the agreement with the contractor requires prior approval from TRCA and its project partners in order to extend hours of work. The 5:00 pm daily work stoppage within the agreement was included to minimize disruption to Kleinburg residents. 1124 In early August, Mr. Lorello requested and received from TRCA copies of laboratory certificates of analysis showing analytical results for audit samples collected to date from the Kleinburg New Forest North site. Mr. Lorello also requested analytical results for shale imported to the site. Shale, a naturally occuring sedimentary rock substrate underlaying much of southern Ontario is considered to be inert material. As inert material or rock, it should not be subjected to the analytical standards for soils. However, as a gesture of good will and transparency, TRCA staff provided Entech Laboratories with a sample of solid shale collected from the Kleinburg site for analysis. The laboratory results indicated that all parameters tested were within MOE Table 1 criteria. In addition to providing the laboratory certificates of analysis, TRCA staff offered to assist Mr. Lorello in the review and interpretation of the analytical results. Mr. Lorello declined the offer. TRCA has also provided MOE with laboratory certificates of analysis for audit samples collected on site. No comments or concerns have been received from ministry staff. RATIONALE TRCA staff has 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 at Boyd North. Staff view the implementation of this regeneration project as a benefit to all involved as the soil placement, along with the financial compensation, allow for the creation of habitat opportunities and public recreation features. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff will complete the Kleinburg New Forest North plan as designed. 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 $1,200,000. The direct project operating, restoration and maintenance costs will be deducted from this revenue.

Suzan Hall Ron Moeser WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff is committed to working cooperatively with all of TRCA's municipal partners and stakeholders regarding opportunities to streamline the approval process related to the implementation of Ontario Regulation 166/06, where appropriate; WHEREAS TRCA has an existing "Permission for Minor Works" letter of approval protocol, including the delegation of approval to TRCA staff, for minor works that are considered not to affect the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land; WHEREAS the existing "Permission for Minor Works" letter of approval protocol cannot typically be applied to routine infrastructure projects, which are generally located within or adjacent to the hazard or natural features; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the "Permission for Routine Infrastructure Works" letter of approval protocol, including the delegation of approval authority to TRCA staff, and associated fee structure as outlined in the staff report, be approved and implemented for works that are considered not to affect the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land; THAT the "Permission for Routine Infrastructure Works" letter of approval protocol and associated fee structure be considered interim and subject to review and analysis, in consultation with TRCA member municipalities and agencies, as part of TRCA's overall update of Regulation policies with TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (1994); AND FURTHER THAT the engineering departments of TRCA's member municipalities be so advised. CARRIED 1127 BACKGROUND In an effort to improve service delivery to applicants and member municipalities, at Executive Committee Meeting #4/06, held on June 9, 2006, Resolution #B73/06 was approved in regard to an interim "Permission for Minor Works" letter of approval protocol for permit applications related to Ontario Regulation 166/06 that are considered minor in nature. The purpose of the protocol was to allow for a streamlined permit approvals process for works within the Regulation Limit, but outside and sufficiently setback from the greater of the hazard (flood plain, meander belt, crest of slope) and any wetlands. Such projects cannot impact flooding, slope stability and erosion hazards, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land. The protocol is to be integrated into the future update of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. The "Permission for Minor Works" letter of approval protocol was developed to address applications typical of minor residential, industrial or commercial development. The protocol was developed and designed to address the volume of applications reviewed by the Development Planning and Regulation review teams within TRCA's Planning and Development division and to improve and streamline the administration of regulation compliance. RATIONALE TRCA's Planning and Development division has a team of staff dedicated to the review of applications under the Environmental Assessment Act. The existing "Permission for Minor Works" letter of approval protocol includes a provision for municipal and utility projects. However, the scope of this category does not adequately address the various types of applications reviewed by the Environmental Assessment review team. Furthermore, since municipal or utility capital projects are typically located within or adjacent to the hazard or natural feature, they are not eligible for review under the current protocol. To date, the approval of such works has required the formal submission of regular permit applications to the Environmental Assessment review team. The applicants have had to wait for the monthly permit approval by the Executive Committee, and this has caused delays to routine infrastructure works. Approval of a protocol to allow staff to approve routine infrastructure works will result in the Environmental Assessment review team being able to implement a streamlined, expeditious and efficient review of infrastructure works considered minor in nature that are located not only within the Regulation Limit, but also within the hazard or natural feature. Similar to the " Permission for Minor Works" letter of approval protocol, the "Routine Infrastructure Works" letter of approval protocol would only permit projects which are deemed to not impact flooding, slope stability and erosion hazards, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land. The development types and evaluation criteria for projects eligible for review under the " Routine Infrastructure Works" letter of approval protocol are presented in Attachment 1. Projects that will be considered under the new protocol include road or pathway resurfacing or reconstruction; structure maintenance; sewer watermain or utility installation or maintenance, or maintenance within an existing roadway; sewer, watermain or utility watercourse crossing by trenchless technology; offline stormwater management pond maintenance; and drainage structure general maintenance. 1128 The project must be classified as a Schedule A project in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA), or its equivalent under another Class EA. Projects which do not require Fisheries and Oceans Canada authorization as determined by TRCA's Level III Agreement may be considered under this protocol; however projects which require authorization under the Fisheries Act will not. Permission for Routine Infrastructure Works applications will be reviewed by TRCA staff to ensure that they will not impact the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land. Technical studies may be required to ensure compliance with TRCA policy and programs. Staff will reserve the right to require the application to be processed as a regular permit if, through our review, any of the evaluation criteria and basic design requirements for a particular type of project are not met. In the event there are unforeseen complications during construction of routine infrastructure works, such as a frac -out, staff will work with the applicant at that time to resolve the situation through appropriate remediation measures. Subsequent to resolving the situation on -site, revised construction, remediation and /or restoration plans may be required for separate approval under the regular permit application process. The applicant will be required to submit a routine infrastructure works application form and associated processing fee. TRCA staff will screen the application for compliance with the routine infrastructure works protocol. A letter of approval for permission for routine infrastructure works signed by the Director, Planning and Development, an appointed enforcement officer, or staff designated by the Director, Planning and Development, will 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 routine infrastructure works for the information of the Executive Committee. TRCA Enforcement staff will undertake routine site inspections to ensure compliance with the approved plans and documents. The review process associated with the issuance of an approval letter will ensure that TRCA maintains our legal obligations under Ontario Regulation 166/06, while providing an opportunity to expedite the review process and improve service delivery to municipalities and agencies. Processing Fee TRCA's Administrative Fee Schedule for permit applications will be updated in January 2008. TRCA staff is recommending a processing fee of $600 be charged if the review of technical studies or a site visit is required; $300 will be charged for applications requiring only the review of plans. Notification Member municipalities and agencies will be circulated the "Permission for Routine Infrastructure Works" interim protocol through the engineering or permitting divisions, and it will be posted on TRCA's website. If required, staff will meet with appropriate staff of our member municipalities to discuss the protocol. 1129 SUMMARY The intent of the proposed "Permission for Routine Infrastructure Works" letter of approval protocol is to continue to provide a streamlined, expeditious and efficient review for our municipal and agency partners and approval of infrastructure projects that are considered routine in nature and will not adversely affect the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land.

Suzan Hall Ron Moeser THAT authorization be given to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff to appear before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) regarding a proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision application and a proposed Zoning By -law Amendment application to permit the development of a residential plan of subdivision consisting of 86 single detached homes, as well as blocks for open space, stormwater management and buffer /trail purposes on Part of Lot 7, Concession 8 (west of the 8th Concession Road and north of King Road), in the Township of King; THAT staff advise the OMB that TRCA has outstanding issues relating to the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision application and proposed Zoning By -law Amendment application; THAT staff continue to work cooperatively with municipal partners and the appellant 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 OMB, if required; AND FURTHER THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject property is approximately 16.5 hectares in size (40.7 acres) and is located west of the 8th Concession Road and north of King Road in the community of Nobleton, Township of King. The lands are generally vacant and used for agricultural purposes. The subject site is characterized by gently rolling topography. Abutting land uses to the east and south include a watercourse and a wetland /watercourse respectively, both of which are within a regulated area of the Humber River watershed pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06. Additional lands to the south include agricultural uses, an unopened public park and a residential subdivision. The existing residential subdivision continues to the west of the site, while the lands to the north include a draft approved plan of subdivision (19T -03K01 - 1083951 Ontario Limited (Slokker Canada Corp.)). There is also an existing single family home to the immediate east of the site. 1137 The owner submitted applications to amend the Zoning By -law and for a Draft Plan of Subdivision to permit the development of a residential plan of subdivision consisting of 86 single detached homes, as well as blocks for open space, stormwater management and buffer /trail purposes. The subject lands are designated 'Residential' and 'Natural Heritage' on Schedule 'A' to the Nobleton Community Plan (OPA 57) and 'Town/Village' in the Regional Municipality of York Official Plan. The subject property is also within a 'Towns and Villages' designation under the Greenbelt Plan. The applications have been appealed to the OMB by the proponent based on the Township of King's failure to render a decision on the proposed Plan of Subdivision and Township of King Council's refusal or inability to enact the proposed Zoning By -law Amendment, pursuant to the Planning Act. The township acknowledged receipt of the planning applications on July 25, 2005. The submission did not include the requisite supporting information and was deemed incomplete. Upon receipt of the requisite information, the applications were circulated to TRCA on January 2, 2007. TRCA staff has submitted written comments on the applications to the township and the applicant on two occasions (March 20, 2007 and August 13, 2007). These comments were provided upon completion of the review of technical documents and associated re- submissions. The most recent set of TRCA comments on the technical aspects of the proposal was furnished to the applicant and the township by email on November 22, 2007. RATIONALE Based on staff review of the applicant's submissions to date, there are three outstanding issues relating to the Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By -law Amendment applications submitted by the Dawsco (Cyraro) Development Corp.. First, Section 4.4.2 of the Nobleton Community Plan indicates that the design of the local road system in the northeast quadrant of Nobleton should protect for a future crossing of the valley corridor to connect with the 8th Concession Road. It is the understanding of staff that this policy was deferred through the approval of the plan to be reconsidered through the Oak Ridges Moraine Conformity Exercise. At this time, there are two access points proposed for this project: the first is through the existing subdivision to the west and the second is through the draft approved plan of subdivision to the north. The current traffic reports indicate that a third crossing across the valley is not needed based on the present and projected traffic volumes. However, the most recent Draft Plan of Subdivision does not preclude the opportunity for a future connection to the 8th Concession Road should the connection ever be deemed necessary. The connection location is in the area of the proposed stormwater management pond and would necessitate the redesign of the pond should the connection proceed in the future. 1138 TRCA staff has noted that a detailed assessment of the valley corridor, including such things as an environmental impact study and fluvial geomorphology study, is required to determine if this proposed connection location is the most appropriate from a natural heritage /hazards perspective. However, staff note that by virtue of considering this third access location and evaluating the pertinent studies, this does not necessarily indicate acceptance of this connection location. In addition, should the connection be deemed necessary in the future, TRCA staff has concerns regarding the relocation /redesign of the stormwater management pond in order to accommodate the road in this area (i.e., the future pond design, future pond location, potential intrusion into the valley corridor for the road and pond, future road location, excessive grading and costs). Discussions on the protection of a connection to the 8th Concession Road are expected to occur between the applicant, the Township of King and TRCA. Second, the applicant has been asked to provide a strategy for maintaining surface water contributions to the wetland /watercourse south of the property, within the township's park block, that mimics pre - development volumes and water quality. Third, the applicant has been asked to provide updated reports to TRCA (e.g. functional servicing report) once the final revisions have been made to address all of TRCA's previous and current comments. In light of the these outstanding issues, TRCA staff attended the OMB pre- hearing for these files on November 27, 2007. The Chair of the OMB presiding over the pre- hearing granted party status to TRCA. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE TRCA staff is requesting the authorization of the Executive Committee to attend the OMB hearing to ensure that TRCA interests are protected and addressed. Staff will retain legal counsel for the hearing should it be deemed necessary. TRCA 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 TRCA before the OMB.

Award of sole source contract to Keigan Systems Inc. for Region of Peel Spills response System Suzan Hall Ron Moeser THAT a contract for the development of Spills Response Decisions Support System tool be awarded to the firm of Keigan Systems Inc. at a cost not to exceed $185,000 plus applicable taxes; THAT the contract be executed in four phases each of which must be successfully completed prior to commencement of the next phase; THAT award of the contract be subject to approval of funds from Natural Resources Canada GeoConnections Program; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required including signing of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #5/05, held on June 24, 2005, Resolution #A136/05 was approved, in part, as follows: THAT WHEREAS spills are a major issue impeding the water quality and aquatic habitat of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) watersheds and waterfront; WHEREAS the TRCA, together with Toronto RAP, federal, provincial, regional, municipal, and non - governmental organizations, and watershed groups recently completed work on phase 1 of Toronto RAP and TRCA spills management initiative; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT staff be directed to continue working with TRCA's partners to initiate work on phase 2 of TRCA's spills management initiative during 2005 -2006, including implementation of recommendations from September 2004 Spills Management Workshop Outcomes Report; Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff has been working closely with Keigan Systems Inc. (Keigan) and the Regional Municipality of Peel (ROP) to identify funding opportunities to initiate work on spills prevention and management as a priority recommendation resulting from the Stakeholder's Workshop hosted by TRCA and Toronto and Region Remedial Action Plan (RAP). A joint funding application was made to Natural Resources Canada's GeoConnection Program with a total ask of $185,000 over four phases for the development a geo- spatial web -based tool for responding to spills within the ROP. Project partners were the ROP, Keigan and TRCA. Phase 1 funding in the amount of $11,000 has been recently approved. This project will be completed in four phases: 1141 1) Strategic Planning - the development a strategic vision and partnership for the development and coordinated utilization of a web -based spill response decision support system and database. 2) User Needs Assessment - the identification of the exact needs for the spill response decision support system, based on input from the ROP, City of Brampton, City of Mississauga, Town of Caledon, TRCA, Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) and the Ministry of the Environment's Spills Action Centre (MOE SAC). 3) Publishing Thematic Data Standards - integration of data standards of the ArcHydro data model and the development of standards for accessing and exchanging data with partner municipalities, TRCA and the Ministry of the Environment. 4) Geospatial Decision Support Systems - the development of a web -based spill response decision support system that will provide a modelling system for spills; access to near -time weather information; background on hazardous chemical materials; and the ability to store historic spill data to assist in targeting outreach and infrastructure investments. The City of Brampton, City of Mississauga, Town of Caledon and CVC have also been consulted on the initiative and are involved as project partners. RATIONALE The utilization of various geo- spatial data layers in a shared web -based system will enable the ROP and its lower -tier municipalities to enhance their ability to predict, respond to and manage public safety threats from chemical and oil spills. The proposed web -based spill response decision support system will enable first responders to trace a spill's course through the municipal sewer system within seconds, which will assist in containing the spill before it can enter the watercourse. Alternatively, if a spill is unreported, the system will allow responders to trace the spill through the sewershed to its most likely starting point. The proposed web -based spill response decision support system will also provide a one - window view that can be utilized during a spill event by all agencies (ROP, lower -tier municipalities, conservation authorities and MOE SAC). The ability to share real -time information with decision - makers from across organizations will assist in responding to and addressing threats to human health, as well as the health of terrestrial and aquatic environments. The development of a web -based spill response decision support system will also provide a model for TRCA's other partner municipalities to adopt for their own emergency response systems. About the Consultant Keigan is the private sector developer of Catastrophic Level Event Emergency Response (CLEER), a web -based program for first - responders to determine the safest and strongest plan of action to emergency incidents and spills. This software was developed in partnership with the City of London and the Upper Thames Conservation Authority. 1142 Keigan was involved in TRCA's 2006 spills workshop and demonstrated the CLEER software. The platform was received favourably by municipal staff, TRCA staff and senior MOE staff. Given Keigan's proprietary interest in the development of a web -based spills response decision support system to add to the analytic tools for emergency response, they have agreed to provide in -kind staff support in the preparation of funding applications and the development of web -based system. In addition, Keigan has agreed to host and manage the spills tool for five years without any additional service costs to project partners. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE 1. Complete Phases 1 to 4 as per approved work plan by Geo- Connections. 2. Execute all necessary documents as per TRCA's Procurement Policy. FINANCIAL DETAILS Pursuant to the requirements of the TRCA Purchasing Policy, this is a sole source contract in excess of $100,000 but less than $200,000 and requires approval of the Executive Committee. Funding for the first phase of this project $15,000 is available in the 2007 capital budget. Funding for the subsequent phases will be made available upon successful completion, submission of reports to GeoConnections, in -kind contributions from Keigan and 2008 budget approvals. Future Project Costs: Phase 2: $15,000; Phase 3: $20,000; Phase 4: $135,000.

To revise the 2008 Fee Schedule for Public Facilities and Programming to accomodate the proposed reducation in the Goods and Services Tax. Suzan Hall Ron Moeser 1143 THAT the 2008 Fee Schedule for Public Facilities and Programming be revised to incorporate the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate reduction without reducing the existing tax - included pricing. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #9/07, held on November 30, 2007, Resolution #A266/07 was approved as follows: THAT the 2008 Fee Schedule Public Facilities and Programming, including the proposed changes, be approved effective January 1, 2008. As announced in the recent federal budget, the government has proposed to reduce the GST rate in Ontario from 6% to 5% on January 1, 2008. A decision is required as to whether to maintain prices in those instances where Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) uses tax included pricing, generally for program and admission fees in the public use facilities. RATIONALE Where existing practice is to add taxes to the advertised price, the GST rate will be lowered to 5% and the savings will be passed on to TRCA clients. However, where the practice has been to offer tax- included prices, it is recommended that the final price to the customer not be lowered to reflect the reduced GST rate. In many instances, prices have been chosen to minimize the amount of change that must be handled at gate houses and other points of entry. For example, the current admission price to many conservation areas is $5.00, taxes included. The required price reduction to flow the GST savings to the customer is $0.05, bringing the admission fee to $4.95. The additional handling of coin and resultant increase in wait times for patrons cannot be justified by a marginal reduction in fees. Further, in July 2006 the federal government reduced the GST from 7% to 6 %, and TRCA followed the same practice as outlined above to handle this situation. In 2008, it is projected that approximately $36,000 in additional revenue will be realized as a result of not reducing tax included pricing to account for the GST rate reduction.

Purchase of property located west of McVean Drive, south of Castlemore Road, City of Brampton, under the "Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 - 2010," Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Humber River watershed. Richard Whitehead David Barrow THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 0.032 hectares (0.078 acres), more or less, of vacant land, being Part of Lot 8, Concession 8 ND, designated as Block 15 on Plan of Survey prepared by J.D. Barnes Limited under their Reference No. 02 -30- 731 -17- LAYOUT, dated October 12, 2007, City of Brampton, located west of McVean Drive, south of Castlemore Road, be purchased from Whiskey Hill Estates 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 & 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. David Matthews, President, Matthews Planning & Management Limited, agent for Whiskey Hill Estates Inc.. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. 1147 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 zoning amendment application C08E08.007 for proposed single lot residential development of this site, TRCA staff established the limits of the open space lands (i.e. Block 15 on Plan of Survey) which are comprised of a tableland buffer of the valley corridor of a tributary of the West Humber River at this location. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Based on realty taxes on adjacent (neighbouring) TRCA lands, it is estimated that the annual taxes for the subject property would be approximately $50. 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.

Update on the review of the request from South Beach (Lakeshore) Developments Limited to explore the possibility of a sale of subsurface rights and granting an easement in a parcel of TRCA -owned land located south of Lakeshore Boulevard West, east of Parklawn Road, City of Toronto, Lake Ontario waterfront. Richard Whitehead David Barrow THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the sale of subsurface rights and the granting of an easement to South Beach (Lakeshore) Developments Limited as set out in the staff report dated December 19, 2007 be approved in principal; THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) intention to consider disposal of this property be publicized in one local and one major regional newspaper and a public open house information session be held in accordance with TRCA's surplus land policy; AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee after the public open house information session recommending further action. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Executive Committee Meeting #4/07 held on June 1, 2007, Resolution #B59/07 was approved as follows: THAT the potential disposal of subsurface rights in a parcel of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) -owned land located south of Lakeshore Boulevard West, east of Parklawn Road, City of Toronto, be referred to TRCA staff for review 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 parcel of land is located south of Lakeshore Boulevard West, east of Parklawn Road, City of Toronto, Lake Ontario waterfront. The subject property was acquired from the Ministry of Natural Resources for the Revised Project for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park (March, 1993) and is under management agreement with the City of Toronto. Discussions have been conducted with South Beach (Lakeshore) Developments Limited and a tentative sale of subsurface rights and the granting of an easement has been negotiated on the following basis: 1150 • Subject Property: Strata of lands below the grade of the property described as Part 4 on Plan 66R- 17045. The upper limit of the strata commences at a depth being at least 1.5 metres below grade and the lower limit of the strata is to be approximately 30 metres below grade. Please note that TRCA will retain ownership of the surface rights and they will be managed by the City of Toronto as parkland. South Beach is to do nothing within the subject property that would negatively affect TRCA's and the City's use and enjoyment of the surface rights. • Purchase Price: $1,280,000. • Use: Three levels of parking, utilities, heating and air - conditioning services to serve the building to be constructed on South Beach's adjacent lands at 2175 Lakeshore Boulevard West. • Temporary Licence: TRCA will grant South Beach a temporary licence for a period of two years commencing within four years of the closing date for construction of the parking structure. • Easement: TRCA will grant South Beach an easement on closing to enter TRCA lands for the purpose of maintaining and repairing the parking structure. • South Beach's Conditions: That South Beach will receive all necessary approvals from all applicable government authorities to build the underground parking facility and that they have satisfied themselves that the property is suitable for construction of an underground parking facility. • TRCA's Conditions: Approval of the Authority, consent of the Minister of Natural Resources to the sale and easement and consent under the Planning Act. • Security: South Beach is to provide a letter of credit in the amount of $400,000 to ensure that the restoration of the property is completed to the satisfaction of TRCA and the City of Toronto. Representatives of the Province of Ontario and the City of Toronto were involved in the discussions with South Beach and are satisfied with the terms and conditions of the sale and the granting of the easement. A plan illustrating the location of the subject parcel of land is attached. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE In accordance with TRCA's surplus land policy the following are the next steps in the process: 1. TRCA's intention to consider disposal of the lands be duly publicized, including adequate newspaper publication in at least one local and one major Toronto region newspaper; 2. at least one public open house information session be held in the vicinity of where the lands proposed to be disposed of are situate; 1151 3. the general public and any other interested parties be invited to make submissions, either verbal or written, to the Executive Committee prior to a final recommendation being made with respect to disposal; and 4. at such time as a final recommendation is made with respect to disposal, staff provide to the members of the Authority details of the recommended disposition including any specific information relating to the transaction. FINANCIAL DETAILS The subject property was acquired for the Revised Project for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park (March, 1993). This project was funded 1/3 by the Province of Ontario, 1/3 by the City of Etobicoke and 1/3 by TRCA. (The TRCA share was funded 50% by the Province of Ontario and 50% by the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto). Therefore the actual funding was 1/2 Province of Ontario, 1/3 City of Etobicoke and 1/6 Metropolitan Toronto. As a result of amalgamation, the funding arrangement is 1/2 Province of Ontario and 1/2 City of Toronto. There are two expropriation settlements related to the Etobicoke Motel Strip project outstanding and it is proposed that the proceeds from this sale and granting of the easement be used to reduce the remaining funding required from the City of Toronto and the Province of Ontario for these settlements. The Minister of Natural Resources must approve the sale and use of proceeds. RATIONALE Since TRCA will maintain ownership of the surface rights and they will be managed as parkland by the City of Toronto, this disposal will be consistent with the 1996 Etobicoke Motel Strip Public Amenity Plan.

Recommends extension of existing license agreement with Evergreen for occupancy and use of the Toronto Don Valley Brick Works. Richard Whitehead David Barrow THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS TO THE AUTHORITY THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) approve and extend the license agreement with Evergreen and the City of Toronto for the use and occupancy of the licensed premises, being the industrial pad portion of the Toronto Don Valley Brick Works as set out in the lease agreement with Evergreen; THAT the license agreement shall continue in force and expire on a date agreed by Evergreen and the City of Toronto but not later than December 31, 2009 or the commencement date of the lease with Evergreen; THAT all other terms and conditions of the license agreement shall remain substantially the same, subject to approval of TRCA staff and solicitors and representatives of the City of Toronto; AND FURTHER THAT appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to take all necessary actions to implement the license agreement including the signing and execution of documents. CARRIED RATIONALE At Authority Meeting #6/06, held on July 28, 2006, resolution #A171/06 was approved (later amended by resolution #A160/07 at Authority Meeting #6/07, held on July 27, 2007). This resolution authorized staff to enter into a lease with Evergreen for the industrial pad portion of the Toronto Don Valley Brick Works. The resolution also directed staff to take all necessary action to implement the lease. One of the necessary actions was a requirement to enter into a license agreement for Evergreen to use and occupy the premises until the lease agreement commenced. This license agreement was to expire on the earlier of January 1, 2008, or the commencement date of the lease. As the lease has not commenced, the license agreement expired on January 1, 2008. The lease agreement with Evergreen, together with the Conservation Easement Agreement with Ontario Heritage Trust and an assumption agreement with Evergreen, have been signed by the parties. TRCA is seeking Minister's approval of the agreements as required by the Conservation Authorities Act and the Expropriation Act. The City of Toronto has approved the lease and assumption agreements. The lease includes a number of conditions which must be satisfied prior to commencement. December 31, 2008 is the outside date for commencement of the lease. In the interim, it is necessary to extend the license agreement. 1154 Staff recommend that the license agreement be extended to the earlier of December 31, 2009 or the commencement date of the lease. It may be necessary to consider extending the date for commencement of the lease if all of the conditions have not been satisfied. Having December 31, 2009, as the outside date for expiry of the license will provide some flexibility to staff in dealing with implementation of the lease. Extension of the license agreement will be on the same terms and conditions as the existing agreement.

The overall site was subject to a severance approved by the City of Toronto Committee of Adjustment. This permit is for one of two dwellings under consideration by the Executive Committee (34A and 34B Raven Road). Given the approval of the municipal severance and the fact that this site was previously not identified as being within a floodplain under TRCA's previous mapping, the proposed replacement dwellings have been reviewed by TRCA staff using a risk management approach to ensure that the risk to property damage and public safety will not be increased beyond the risk posed to the existing dwelling occupied by multiple families. Control of Flooding: The subject property is located within the Regional Storm Floodplain. The proposed dwelling will be floodproofed to the greatest extent possible, at an elevation above the 350 -Year Flood elevation. A letter from a Professional Engineer has been provided confirming the structure will withstand the forces of the Regional Storm Flood elevation and flows. In addition, a restriction has been placed on title prohibiting the use of the dwelling for a "second suite," thereby limiting the ability of the new dwelling to accommodate more than one family. Further, the owner has provided a save harmless and indemnification agreement on title. Pollution: The subject works will not result in sedimentation as the property is significantly setback from the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: Not applicable. Conservation of Land: The subject property is already developed and not located within or adjacent to a significant natural area. Plantings Not required. 1163 Policy Guidelines: The subject property is within a subdivision that was, until recently, not identified as being within the Regional Storm Floodplain and the proposal would have been consistent with the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program when the subject property was purchased approximately 2 years ago. Recent data indicates that the lot is now within the Regional Storm Floodplain. Therefore the proposal does not meet all of the requirements of Section 4.2.2. However, in recognition of previous conditions on the site and having regard for the new floodplain data, the applicant has flood proofed the proposed development and made commitments to ensure the risk to property damage and public safety will not be increased over existing conditions.

The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Don River Watershed in order to facilitate the demolition of an existing residential dwelling and the construction of new residential dwelling and ancillary structures. The permit will be issued for the period of January 18, 2008 to January 17, 2010 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking, prepared by T. DiCarlo, Hunt and Associates, dated January 16, 2008, to address all outstanding ecology and engineering related issues prior to issuance. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of the application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Don River Watershed in order to facilitate the demolition of an existing residential dwelling and the construction of a new residential dwelling and ancillary structures at 51 Dove Lane. The proposed works are considered to be 'Phase Two' of a two - staged process. 'Phase One' will involve the construction of an in- ground swimming pool and related equipment shed, a related permit application for these works is also being brought forward to the Executive Committee for consideration at this meeting. The subject property is located within an existing, historic subdivision, in which many of the dwellings, including the dwelling on the subject property, were located at or in close proximity to top of bank. The existing dwelling is located at top of bank but outside of the Regulatory Flood Plain. Given the nature of this subdivision and the subject lot, where the majority of the lot is below top of bank, little opportunity exists for increasing setbacks to top of bank. The proposed dwelling will be constructed on the same footprint of the existing structure. TRCA staff has reviewed a geotechnical report submitted with this application and confirm that there are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns related to the construction of the proposed dwelling. Based on a site visit conducted with the applicant and consultants, TRCA Staff are satisfied in principle with the proposed replacement stairs and retaining wall pending geotechnical review. The proposed works are located in an area void of any significant vegetation, however the proponent has committed to providing an extensive enhancement planting plan to buffer the wooded area at the rear of the lot from the proposed development associated with both Phase One and Phase Two of this plan. 1219 Control of Flooding: The subject property is located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of floodwaters are anticipated. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed and maintained on the subject property throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

The purpose is to construct, site grade, permanently place material, alter a watercourse within the regulated area and regional storm floodplain for works associated with the regeneration of the Stormwater Management Pond and surrounding area in Pioneer Park, Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York in the Don River Watershed. The permit will be issued for the period of January 18, 2008 to January 17, 2010. • Letter of Undertaking to provide minor revisions to engineer drawings, restoration drawings and letter of intent to the satisfaction of TRCA; dated January 16, 2008; received January 16, 2008; prepared by the Town of Richmond Hill. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal involves the regeneration of the Stormwater Management Pond and surrounding area of Pioneer Park in the Town of Richmond Hill. The current facility is filled with sediment is not functioning as originally planned. The existing pond is located north of Major Mackenzie Drive, east of Bathurst Street and immediately west of the York Central Hospital in the Town of Richmond Hill. The on -line pond was constructed in the 1980's as part of the development of the Don Head Estates Subdivision to provide flood control. 1225 Proposed works include the removal of a control structure upstream of Major Mackenzie Drive and construction of a wet pond for water quality control and frequent storm quantity control, with a permanent pool in approximately the same location as the existing pond, including a new control structure and berm approximately 30 metres upstream of Major Mackenzie Drive. An on -line dry pond will also be constructed for water quantity control for the 5 year to 100 year events, with a new control structure and berm located approximately 100m north of Major Mackenzie Drive. A baseflow by -pass channel between the dry pond and the existing culvert under Major Mackenzie Drive will be implemented to accommodate fish passage around the wet pond during dry weather. Wetland features will be created immediately upstream of the dry pond to provide additional habitat. Oil /grit pre- treatment structures will be installed on each storm sewer outfall from the Don Head Estates subdivision and from the adjacent hospital site. A portion of a partially exposed sanitary sewer will be relocated and stream bank stabilization will be implemented. Further details are provided in the Pioneer Park Stormwater Management Regeneration Project - Preliminary Design Brief dated July 2006 and revised August 8, 2007 The project was reviewed by TRCA staff during the Environmental Assessment process and conforms to TRCA requirements. Control of Flooding: The project is located within the flood plain. The proposed on -line flood control facility for the 1:5 -year to 1:100 -year events (dry pond) will be constructed upstream of the quality pond, to attenuate peak flood flow rates. The proposed water - quality control and frequent storm quantity control facility (wet pond) will be constructed, with a permanent pool and will reduce the potential of flooding downstream. TRCA Water Resources staff has reviewed the proposal and has no concerns. Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (silt fencing, rock flow check dam) 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 are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposal. Conservation of Land: There will be in stream works associated with this project. All works will be conducted in the dry. The watercourse will be altered permanently during the construction of the wet pond and by -pass channel which will replace the existing channel. The permanent watercourse alteration works will constitute a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat and will require an authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The Town of Richmond Hill has provided a Letter of Intent which outlines the compensation measures. Compensation measures include the integration of fish habitat enhancement through the removal of the existing physical barriers, the capture and treatment of stormwater to improve water quality, the reduction of thermal impacts through baseflow by -pass, and improved 1226 quantity control to reduce erosive processes downstream. When DFO authorization has been received, TRCA staff will be in a position to issue the permit under Ontario Regulation #166/06, Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourse. Plantings Enhancement of approximately 2,500 m2 of existing riparian meadow marsh will be provided in the dry pond area. The wetland will be improved through grading and planting with a diversity of native species to improve the quality and function of riparian habitat. This wetland will also provide and improve habitat for amphibians and other biota. All other disturbed areas will be restored with native non - invasive species following construction. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized and directed to take such action as may be necessary to implement this contract, including the signing of contract documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND This project involves the construction of a wooden staircase, a boardwalk structure with 2 concrete abutments and specific granular trail improvements within Sherwood Park, City of Toronto. The City of Toronto Economic Development, Culture and Tourism Department originally asked the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to implement this trail restoration project as a partner agency. After design completion by a consulting firm hired by the city, it was decided that the work was beyond the TRCA Construction Services abilities and an outside contractor was to be engaged. The city requested that the TRCA remain involved in this project as a project manager and administer the required contract. The design firm Schollen & Co. was asked to provide a cost to sign off on the finished project and issue the completion certificate when needed. TRCA contacted five companies that have done work in the past and who have proven abilities to perform the required work. A tender request was sent out to them for prices to supply and install; 1) an elevated timber staircase & concrete footings; 2) a new steel and wood boardwalk with concrete footings and abutments to replace an existing structure; 3) granular trail improvements; and 4) 10% contingency amount. The companies were invited to submit costs by January 10, 2008. The following chart summarizes the submissions: COMPANY PRICE ( not including taxes) Northgate Farms Ltd. $ 571,811.90 R +M Construction Ltd. $ 313,940.00 Hank Deenan Landscaping Ltd.

Ron Moeser David Barrow THAT the purchase agreement for the supply of food items and kitchen supplies at Albion Hills, Claremont and Lake St George field centres be awarded to Sysco Food Services for 2008, at a projected cost not to exceed $134,400, plus applicable taxes, it being the only supplier that met Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications. CARRIED 1250 BACKGROUND TRCA operates food service facilities at each of its three field centres (Albion Hills, Claremont and Lake St. George). The food service facilities provide all meals and snacks for approximately 11,000 students in residence at TRCA field centres, as well as 4,000 students from the Toronto District School Board Etobicoke Outdoor Education Centre, which shares dining facilities with Albion Hills Field Centre. While in residence at a field centre, students spend between 2.5 and 5 days living and learning on site. As part of this, field centre food service facilities provide all meals and snacks for the students. With an increased focus on healthy eating and purchasing sustainable and local food products, field centre food service staff have consolidated a large portion of this purchasing of food and food supplies in order to leverage best value while ensuring the highest quality of food product. RATIONALE TRCA staff researched food supply companies in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and sourced pricing for the supply of food and paper products for the field centre food service facilities from a number providers across the GTA. Sysco Food Services is the only supplier that meets the needs of the field centres food services, including best value for dollar, an increasingly healthy selection of food products, guaranteed availability and assurances of food safety requirements. TRCA has used Sysco as one of its suppliers for its food service facilities for a number of years and they have provided excellent service and competitive pricing. Sysco Food Services provides free professional development programs on a variety of food service facility management related topics which are available to field centre food service staff as part of their service. Furthermore, Sysco Food Service supports TRCA's objectives of Sustainable Communities and Business Excellence by providing no charge inventory support services and data on food miles in order to measure the impact on climate change of this aspect of field centre operations, as well as working with TRCA staff to reduce the number of deliveries to each of the three field centres. TRCA staff review prices quarterly to ensure competitiveness within the food service supply marketplace. In analyzing market fluctuations in food prices, staff will adjust purchasing relationships accordingly to ensure that best value is received.

Approval to retain Montgomery Sisam Architects Ltd. to provide architectural services for the redesign of the Albion Hills Field Centre, including site and infrastructure services, for the purposes of building renovation and retrofit. Richard Whitehead Suzan Hall THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the contract for the detailed architectural redesign of Albion Hills Field Centre (AHFC), including architectural, mechanical, structural and electrical services, be awarded to Montgomery Sisam Architects Ltd. at a cost not to exceed $215,193, plus applicable taxes and disbursements not to exceed $27,000, plus applicable taxes, it being the lowest tender that met Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications; THAT the contract include additional sub - consultant services fees of $104,645 plus applicable taxes for landscape design, cost consulting and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) design, review and certification for LEED certification and commissioning; AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized and directed to take such action as may be necessary to implement this contract, including the signing of contract documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND Located within Albion Hills Conservation Area, a 446 hectare active -use park north of the Village of Bolton in the Region of Peel, the AHFC is an 8,000 square foot building able to accommodate up to forty -four student, youth or adult visitors for overnight environmental education excursions. Typical visits are from two to five days with the participants living on site participating in immersive environmental and sustainable lifestyle learning programs. Total annual attendance at AHFC is, on average, about 2,550 participants. 1252 Constructed in 1962, AHFC is a cedar and granite chalet -style building equipped with bedrooms, washrooms, classrooms, offices, a lounge, a dining hall and commercial kitchen facilities. Many of the existing systems, fixtures and infrastructure components are reaching the end of their lifecycle and are in need of replacement or retrofit. AHFC is a Gold Certified EcoSchool that demonstrates excellent building occupancy behaviour in energy, waste, greening and ecological literacy. TRCA staff propose undertaking a major renovation and retrofit of the facility in order to improve the mechanical and sustainability functions of the building, the student learning environment and saleability of the education program through aesthetic improvements. This major facility upgrade and retrofit will significantly contribute to AHFC's business sustainability and will be become an important education resource. The vision for the facility is that of integrated environmental learning whereby the building is part of, and complements, the natural surroundings. Featuring a restored wetland, open space, forests and significant natural features adjacent to it, AHFC represents an opportunity to consolidate the built environment within the natural world while providing a unique learning experience focusing on connections with nature and the examination of ecological and sustainability issues. In early 2007, the need and rationale for retrofit and reconstruction of the field centre was established, from both an environmental sustainability approach and client satisfaction perspective. Further to this, the Regional Municipality of Peel expressed support of the program through their Climate Change Mitigation Program. Through the summer of 2007, Montgomery Sisam Architects undertook an assessment and conceptual redesign of AHFC to determine the feasibility of renovating and adding on to the facility in order to provide an upgraded and more suitable learning environment for visiting students. The results of this assessment and redesign determined that it was feasible to undertake a significant reconstruction of the facility that fulfilled sustainability criteria with the final intent being LEED certification. RATIONALE Montgomery Sisam Architects Ltd. completed the initial assessment and conceptual redesign of AHFC for the purposes of future renovation and retrofit in 2007. This provided the baseline data and framework for the detailed design and reconstruction phases. Through this work, Montgomery Sisam Architects Ltd. has developed a firm understanding of the specific and unique needs of the project. As well, they have demonstrated an ability to work on budget and within tight timelines based on capital funding windows from the Regional Municipality of Peel. Montgomery Sisam Architects Ltd. was the lead architect for the construction of TRCA's Restoration Services Centre. Through that process the company demonstrated a commitment to working with TRCA in its vision for The Living City. As a leader in innovative sustainable design for LEED certification, Montgomery Sisam Architects Ltd. integrates a broad range of environmental features and functions into building design and operation that reduces TRCA contribution to climate change. 1253 In October, 2007, staff drafted a terms of reference for Phase II of this project: Design for the Retrofit and Renovation of the Albion Hills Field Centre Building, Site and Infrastructure Services. Recognizing that the subject work requires specific expertise and a leading ability to design for LEED certification, Montgomery Sisam Architects Ltd. was invited to submit a proposal based on the terms of reference. Montgomery Sisam Architects Ltd. was selected based on their specialized knowledge, innovative approaches to sustainable design and proven service. Montgomery Sisam Architects Ltd. submitted their proposal to TRCA to complete the work as outlined in the terms of reference at a proposed cost of $215,193 plus applicable taxes and disbursements of $27,000 plus applicable taxes. Their proposal outlined additional sub - consultant services at a cost of $104,645 plus applicable taxes for the landscape design and cost consulting, along with the LEED design, review and fundamental commissioning for LEED certification. Staff reviewed the proposal and determined that it meets all of the terms as outlined and provides fair value for the specified work. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for this project is available under the Regional Municipality of Peel's Climate Change Mitigation Capital Fund in account 129 -70.

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 Burke Brook east of Bayview Avenue to stabilize the channel, protect existing infrastructure and improve aquatic habitat. The works will include the restoration of the Channel at Bayview Avenue, the protection of an exposed sewer maintenance hole, the mitigation of a fish passage barrier at an existing pedestrian bridge, and minor bank stabilization to protect the existing access road. The channel restoration at Bayview Avenue will include improvements to energy dissipation at the existing culvert and storm outfall. The existing drop structure does not effectively manage flows, and this has caused the failure or shifting of individual armour stones and erosion impacts to the channel. To mitigate this, the wing walls will be installed at a wider angle, and the drop structure will be elongated and terraced. In addition, improvements to the existing scour pool, the installation of rock vortex weirs and a minor channel realignment will further improve energy dissipation and serve to direct flows away from impacted bank areas. In order to protect the exposed sewer maintenance hole, a minor realignment is required through the existing point bar. The radius of curvature of the channel will be marginally increased, however the existing cross - sectional area will be maintained. In addition, a vegetated buttress will be installed on the impacted bank for further protection, and rock vortex weirs will be installed in the channel to provide grade controls and redirect flows. 1262 Fish passage to the West Don will be improved through the mitigation of an existing barrier at the pedestrian bridge near Sunnybrook Park. A series of five rock vortex weirs will be installed along approximately 50 metres of the channel at successive elevations to eliminate the elevation difference between the existing culvert under the pedestrian bridge and the channel bed. This will significantly improve fish passage at this location for resident cyprinids. This work will also provide long -term stability to this section of channel by preventing bed degradation and directing flows towards the centre of the channel. In addition, a small section of bank will be restored to protect the existing access road, which is located along the edge of the bank and is failing at this location. These works will include the installation of layered stone, small diameter root wads and live staking. This site will be evaluated prior to construction to confirm the necessity of the proposed bank treatments. Control of Flooding: No adverse impacts to the storage or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated as a result of this project. Pollution: Appropriate controls will be implemented and maintained throughout construction to prevent sediment and other deleterious substances from entering 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 works will enhance existing terrestrial and aquatic habitat through channel improvements, riparian plantings and the mitigation of an existing barrier to fish passage. Plantings Disturbed areas will be planted with appropriate native species. Bank stabilization will include live staking to improve riparian cover and long -term stability. 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 purpose is to develop, conduct site grading, permit the temporary /permanent placement, dumping and /or removal of material within a Regulated Area of the Humber River and interfere with a watercourse, in order to facilitate the development of a sediment control pond and associated sediment control measures, as well as to remove old storage tanks, on Part Lots 17 and 18, Concession 9, in the City of Vaughan. The proposed works will occur on private lands on the west side of Highway 27, north of Rutherford Road. The proposal will also resolve an outstanding violation with respect to unauthorized placement of fill and interfence with a watercourse. An application under Ontario Regulation 158 to place fill to facilitate the rehabilitation of the gravel pit, which previously existed on the property, was approved by the Executive Committee on June 30, 1982 (Permit No. A- 0871). The permit was renewed several times since its original issuance to accommodate the restoration works. The purpose of the current application is to address sedimentation occurring on neighbouring properties downstream of the site and has involved discussions between the owner, agent, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the City of Vaughan and the TRCA. The proposal involves the construction of a sediment control pond and outfall to eliminate the downstream sedimentation of the watercourse. A cut off swale will also be established along the table lands to mitigate erosion of the slopes and to allow for re- vegetation to occur. 1285 The proposed sediment control pond will be located within the valley corridor, which is consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. However, the proposed sediment control pond will be situated on -line, respecting the originally approved location of the pond, but it has been updated to reflect more recent design standards. Given the immediate need to control sediment on -site, staff have determined the pond location is appropriate in this instance. Further, the pond will be temporary until such time that the site has stabilized and further restoration works are initiated on the property. 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: Erosion and sediment control measures will be erected prior to the initiation of the works and will be maintained for the duration of construction on the site. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: The purpose of the subject application is to mitigate against further erosion on -site and the downstream sedimentation of the watercourse. Further, there will be no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed development of the sediment control pond and associated sediment control measures. Conservation of Land: 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. The works are to be commenced and completed within the warm water fisheries timing window, between July 1 and March 31. There are no other significant natural features on, or adjacent to, the site that may be negatively impacted by the project. Plantings The proposed works will not affect any significant natural features. Disturbed areas will be seeded to help stabilize the site. Policy Guidelines: While the proposal is not entirely consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, it does meet the special provisions note in this section such that the works are temporary in nature and there has been a demonstrated need to provide sediment and erosion control on -site. In addition, further restoration works on the property will be required to meet the intent of this section. Finally, staff are of the opinion that the proposed works do not affect the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land. 1286 CFN: 39844 - Application #: 741 /07/VAUG Report Prepared by: Bill Kiru, extension 5306 For information contact: Bill Kiru, extension 5306 Date: January 23, 2008 TOWN OF MARKHAM 8.1.22 TOWN OF MARKHAM 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 and alter a watercourse (Pomona Mills Creek North of Kirk Drive), in the Town of Markham, Don River Watershed as located on the property owned by Town of Markham. The purpose is to construct, alter a watercourse, site grade, temporarily /permanently remove /place fill /material within a regulated area and Regional Storm Floodplain to implement channel restoration, sanitary sewer protection, and storm sewer outfall modifications within a section of the stream corridor and valley corridor of Pomona Mills Creek, located north of Kirk Drive, in the Town of Markham. The permit will be issued for the period of February 1, 2008 to January 31, 2010. • Letter of Undertaking to provide revisions to the engineering drawings, to provide further information as required, and to address TRCA comments, all to the satisfaction of TRCA; prepared by the Town of Markham; dated January 24, 2008; received by TRCA January 24, 2008. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal The Town of Markham is currently undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to develop a restoration plan for the Pomona Mills Creek Sub - Watershed which will address issues relating to erosion restoration, infrastructure protection, environmental improvements to the valley system, and habitat enhancement. This EA is still underway with overall plans to be developed and submitted at a later date. Prior to this EA being completed a need to protect existing sanitary sewer infrastructure from exposure has been identified by York Region and the Town of Markham. Presently channel erosion has resulted in unacceptable levels of risk associated with the existing sewer and manhole approximately 80 metres north of Kirk Drive on the east side of the watercourse. At this location the existing York Region sanitary sewer parallels the watercourse and an existing Town Markham sanitary sewer crosses the watercourse. York Region and the Town of Markham have collaborated to develop a design (see "Proposed Works" below) that will significantly reduce the risk associated with a breach of the sanitary sewer system and be in keeping with the overall objectives of the Class EA Study. 1287 As part of the design report prepared for this permit application, three alternative solutions we identified at this location to address erosion issues and implement environmental improvements as follows: Alternative 1 - Local stabilization of weir and banks This would provide local stabilization of the existing weir and banks to protect existing infrastructure and provide the least amount of disruption to the watercourse. The disadvantages are that it would only provide short term mitigation for erosion, it would not provide weir stability /improved fish passage and it would leave the sanitary sewer still at risk. Further, this option would require more disruption to ecological resources at a later date during implementation of more permanent channel restoration solution. Alternative 2 - Remove weir and reinstate steep channel over an approximately 60 metre reach This would provide long -term mitigation of bank erosion and vertical stability issues, significantly reduce the risk to sewer infrastructure and improve fish habitat and passage using a step -pool morphology. Acceptable reductions in risk can only be achieved by removal of the existing weir, and as such, this alternative would require that the works be extended approximately 60 metres downstream of the weir to achieve a gradient of approximately 3.8% (reduction from 5.6 %). This alternative would also minimize ecological disruption to the watercourse in the future as any works required for maintenance or adjustment would be minimal. Alternative 3 - Remove weir and reinstate channel over an approximately 110 metre reach This would provide similar benefits as Alternative 2, but with lower stream energy due to a milder slope, which is favourable. However, the disadvantages of this alternative include extensive disruption to ecological resources for implementation and the requirement for significant changes to flood elevations within the valley. Changes to the flood elevations are not acceptable as this is an urbanized area with residential properties located adjacent to the stream. Alternative 2 has been selected as it is the best is terms of achieving both infrastructure protection and ecological enhancement objectives. Alternative 2 has been finalized and will be implemented as identified below. Proposed Works Presently channel erosion has resulted in unacceptable levels of risk associated with the existing sewer and manhole approximately 80 metres north of Kirk Drive on the east side of the watercourse. As discussed above, prior to the EA being completed a need to protect existing sanitary sewer infrastructure from exposure has been identified by York Region and the Town of Markham. The following works will achieve the objectives of the Class EA currently underway and will help determine requirements for enhancements and erosion mitigation that will tie in both upstream and downstream of the subject location. An emergency design to implement Alternative 2 includes the following that will span Pomona Mills Creek approximately 110 metres northward from Kirk Drive: • infrastructure protection by installing a 24 metre long armourstone wall (to be keyed in to the bank) to protect the sanitary sewer and manhole on the east bank. • sizing the channel capacity to accommodate the 2 year flow. • removal of an existing metal weir and debris from the channel. 1288 • slope and channel regrading to raise the bed and redistribute the existing elevation drop at the weir further downstream (reduce slope to be approximately 3.8 %). • slope and channel regarding to provide stabilization, introduce naturalized bedform features by constructing a step -pool sequence between upstream and downstream tie -in points. This will develop a low -flow channel to enhance fish passage, as step -pool sequences provide grade control during high flows and instream habitat during low- flows. • placement of keystone, cobbles and boulders (stone channel lining) to regrade and stabilize banks slopes and the channel, to create step -pool sequence and to improve aquatic habitat and instream features. • restoration of banks and slopes with native riparian plantings. • retrofitting and cutting back the storm sewer outfall at the west bank to widen the valley and accommodate the proposed channel. This will involve removing the existing gabion basket support and installing a new concrete headwall. • further stabilization /removal of gabion baskets. During construction erosion and sediment controls will be in place as all work will be completed in the dry. Construction supervision will be provided on site by a qualified professional to ensure the project is being constructed in accordance with approved designs and to ensure the environment is protected to the highest standards possible. A fish removal plan will be in place to relocate any live fish from upstream of the project area to the downstream side, to ensure fish are protected. A monitoring plan will be implemented to assess and monitor any deficiencies post- construction with any required maintenance or adjustment to be further implemented as required. Control of Flooding: Cut and fill will be taking place within the Regional Storm Floodplain however TRCA Water Management Staff has reviewed the proposal and are satisfied that the proposed project will not have significant impacts on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters. Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment control measures (silt /sediment fence, coffer dams for dam and pump method to work in the dry) will be implemented and maintained for the duration of construction and until the site is stabilized and restored to prevent construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There will be no slope stability concerns with the proposed project. A Monitoring Plan will implemented to assess and monitor any deficiencies post- construction with any required maintenance or adjustment to be further implemented as required. Conservation of Land: With erosion and sedimentation control 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). In -water works will be completed during the warm -water fisheries timing window of July 1 to March 31. 1289 Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with native /non- invasive species following construction as per the restoration plan developed for this project. 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 February 1, 2008 to January 31, 2010. • Letter of undertaking provided by Nick Zeibots, Municipal Infrastructure Group, dated January 30, 2007, to address all outstanding TRCA issues 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 three before the Executive Committee for consideration at this meeting, pertaining to the subject property. This permit application is to allow for the construction of the second of three stormwater management ponds within the OPA 120 lands (Barker Business Park), located between Major Mackenzie Drive to the south, Elgin Mills Cemetery to the north, Highway 404 to the east, and Leslie Street to the west. A Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) which identifies the above noted ponds has recently been completed for the subject lands. The proposed pond is to be built in accordance with the MESP. The Barker Business Park Lands are being developed in three phases. Phase One of the development is currently under construction with all requisite planning approvals attained. Phase Two and Three of the development will be serviced by two main ponds on the north and south side of the Rouge River on the subject property. Permit applications were approved by the Executive Committee (on August 10, 2007 and August 11, 2006 respectively) for the stormwater pond and outfall on the north side of the valley. The subject permit is to allow for the construction of a stormwater management pond and associated outfall on the south side of the Rouge River on the subject property, which will service the majority of lands within Phases 2 and 3 that are on this side of the Rouge River. As a component of the pond design and construction, groundwater infiltration /exfiltration measures are proposed, which is anticipated to provide some ground water recharge, as well as flow attenuation and thermal mitigation benefits for the pond discharge that will be released into the adjacent Rouge River tributary. Through the MESP process, the sensitivity of the aquatic communities within this watercourse became apparent to TRCA staff. The proposed infiltration /exfiltration measures, in addition to those which will be required for each development parcel within Phases Two and Three of this development are being provided in an attempt to minimize impacts to the watercourse to the greatest possible extent. Additionally, the outfall that is being proposed with the subject pond has been designed to disperse flows prior to discharging to the Rouge River, in a further attempt to reduce impacts. 1292 Additional measures will need to be implemented during the construction of the subject pond, to ensure that impacts from any dewatering are minimized, that the proposed outfall is designed to minimize impacts to the area in which it will be located, and that sediment and erosion control measures are implemented to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. TRCA staff are currently in discussions with the consultants for the applicant regarding these items, and the permit will not be released until such time as these issues have been addressed to the satisfaction of TRCA staff.

The permit will be issued for the period of February 1, 2008 to January 31, 2010. • Letter of Undertaking indicating that the applicant will continue to work with the TRCA to resolve any outstanding issues to the satisfaction of the TRCA prior to the release of the permit, signed by David Mhango of Schaeffers Consulting Engineers, dated January 16, 2008, received by the TRCA on January 16, 2008. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose is to allow development and the temporary alteration of a watercourse within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed to facilitate the construction of 698 units in a draft approved residential plan of subdivision (19T- 03K01) in the northeast quadrant of Nobleton, Township of King. The proposed Noble Ridge Community is bounded by the 15th Sideroad to the north, the 8th Concession Road to the east, existing residential development to the south and Highway 27 to the west. There are three watercourses in the area of the proposed development: one which flows from north to south along the development's western limits (Tributary A), one which flows from north to south along the eastern development boundary (Tributary B) and one which flows from west to east in the northeast corner of the development and connects to Tributary B (Swale 2). There is a wetland connected to Tributary A and a second wetland connected to Swale 2. The development will occur in phases, with topsoil stripping and preliminary site grading following the phasing for the site. The construction of the temporary sediment ponds will occur in the first phase. Three temporary sediment ponds and outfalls are proposed. These temporary sediment ponds will capture storm and sediment run -off associated with the preliminary grading works for the proposed subdivision. Other sediment and erosion control measures will also be employed, including sediment control fencing, cut -off swales, rock check dams and cofferdams. 1297 This application will also facilitate the final grading for the site, the installation of infiltration swales and a roof drain collector system, the construction of a pedestrian trail and other associated works. The infiltration trenches will be installed in parts of the buffer and will be filled with permeable material. The roof drain collectors will be installed at specified lots within the subdivision and will be directed to a central outlet. These measures are intended to maintain surface flows to the wetlands on the site and to maintain overall water balance for the development. The proposed pedestrian trail will be located within the 10- to 30 -metre buffer between the natural features and the proposed development, which generally extends around the perimeter of the proposed subdivision. The trail alignment has been provided, but will be field fit in order to minimize grading and avoid impacts to existing vegetation. The trail will be approximately 2 metres wide and will be surfaced with limestone screenings. Asphalt will be used only in areas of steeper slopes where the construction of a limestone trail is not feasible. The trail will include one watercourse crossing in the form of a wooden boardwalk, approximately 78 metres long, supported by reinforced concrete piers. Control of Flooding: There will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be installed and maintained throughout construction to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent natural features. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There will be no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed development. In addition, the implementation of the aforementioned sediment and erosion control measures will minimize erosion on the site. Conservation of Land: 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. Plantings An extensive restoration plan has been prepared for the valley lands and buffers. All disturbed areas will be restored with native, non - invasive plantings and seed to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section 4.1 (New Development) and Section 4.3 (Infrastructure and Servicing) of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. 1298 CFN: 37943 - Application #: 358/06/KING Report Prepared by: Coreena Smith, extension 5269 For information contact: Coreena Smith, extension 5269 Date: January 23, 2008 8.1.28 1083951 ONTARIO LTD.
