OAK RIDGES CORRIDOR PARK .
Implementation of the first phase of the Oak Ridges Corridor Park
Management Plan, through the receipt of grant funding from the Oak
Ridges Moraine Foundation as well as in -kind contributions from Oak
Ridges Trail Association, Richmond Hill Naturalists and Oak Ridges
Friends of the Environment.
Maria Augimeri
Colleen Jordan
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation
. Authority (TRCA) enter into an agreement with the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation to
receive $125,010 in 2008 and $121,630 (in principle) in 2009 to implement Phase One of
the Oak Ridges Corridor Park Management Plan;
AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take such action as is
necessary to finalize the agreement with the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation, including
the signing and execution of documents.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Oak Ridges Corridor (ORC) Park, totalling 1,057 acres in size, is a provincially -owned
parcel of land, acquired as a result of a land exchange (which took place on September 23,
2004) with private landowners in the Town of Richmond Hill. The purpose of the land exchange
was to protect the last remaining natural corridor link between the eastern and western parts of
the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) in Richmond Hill. Maintaining these lands as open space
ensures continuity across the ORM in Richmond Hill, which is experiencing significant growth
and development.
ORC Park is generally located between Bathurst Street to the west and Bayview Avenue to the
east, Jefferson Sideroad and Stouffville Road to the south, and is situated immediately south of
the community of Oak Ridges. Approximately 100 acres .of-the land make up the Bathurst Glen
Golf Course (managed by TRCA), abutting the westernmost boundary of the property. Aside
from Bathurst Glen Golf Course, the land is generally forest cover (180 acres of forest),
grassland (430 acres of grasslands), or in agricultural use (160 acres of agriculture ). The lands
contain the headwaters,of two watersheds (Humber and Rouge) and play an integral role in the
recharge of the headwater streams. The lands support a collection of natural heritage features
such as two kettle lakes (64 acres of 'kettle lakes) and wetlands (81 acres of wetland).
Additionally, this part of the ORM contains a high number of wildlife and plant species and may
represent one of the most diverse habitats found on the•ORM.
At.the request of the Province of Ontario, through the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing,
TRCA was asked to develop a management plan for the property with the objective that the
lands be managed to protect and restore natural ecosystems, and that a five kilometre
pedestrian trail be designed and built across the lands (the Spine Trail).. An advisory
committee, consisting of stakeholders, was formed in June 2005 and the Oak Ridges Corridor. .
Park Management Plan was finalized in early 2006. Additionally, the construction of the .
east -west primary spine trail was completed in 2007, prior to the formal land transfer to the
Province. The land transfer is now complete. Currently, discussions are ongoing between the
Province and TRCA to have.TRCA manage the land.
8
In order to further the objectives set out in the management plan, TRCA staff submitted a grant
funding application to the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation in January 2008. In this application,
the Oak Ridges Trail Association, Richmond Hill Naturalists and Oak Ridges Friends of the
Environment also committed to support the project by assisting with hiking events, planting and
stewardship activities, such as monitoring, clean -up, media releases and participant /volunteer
recruitment.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The funding application requested assistance for three components: restoration, stewardship
and monitoring activities. Firstly, this initiative will result in significant natural heritage gain
(buffers, grasslands and forest) over a 2 year period:
COMPONENT
TARGET •
PROPOSED
Buffer Planting
29.6 acres
8.51 acres
28 percent of target
Reforestation
328 acres
185 acres .
56 percent of target
Grasslands Planting
92.5 acres •
3.4 acres and 80 acres of grasslands
preparation and maintenance
4 percent of target
Upon completion of these restoration objectives, ORC Park will be significantly closer to
achieving its targeted natural areas, as stipulated in the management plan, which projects for
the above: 48 percent forest, 17 percent grasslands and 2 percent buffer.
Secondly, public awareness of the ORM will be increased as a result of this project through
community engagement initiatives: restoration projects; youth activities; education programs;
and events and workshops. Education programs, events and workshops will have a strong
environmental stewardship theme and focus on the ORM and the unique natural heritage
features of the park, including the 2 kettle lakes. Education initiatives-will include:
family- focused nature events that highlight the unique species on the site and efforts to restore
and enhance them; Healthy Yards workshops that will highlight techniques for using native and
water efficient plants in landscaping; and a Healthy Yards Green Garden (HYGG) Makeover .
contest that will promote front yard naturalization in new subdivisions: To ensure the
community is informed of activities in the park, semi- annual newsletters, email updates, media
releases, presentations to local community groups and a presence on the TRCA website will be
provided.
Lastly, to assist in restoration initiatives and to measure long -term changes in the ecosystems,
a minor component of this initiative will be devoted to conducting monitoring surveys for
Phillips Lake, Bond Lake, terrestrial (trees and ground cover) heritage, amphibian and breeding
birds. These surveys will help determine if prescriptions set forth in the management plan are
working or if they require adjustment to achieve desired outcomes. Additionally, assessing the
state of terrestrial and aquatic heritage features of the park through monitoring activities
ensures that the park is managed in a manner that protects and enhances the unique features
and functions it provides on the ORM.
TRCA has contributed to the advancement of this project through the completion of the
following activities:
construction of the Spine Trail (primary trail alignment across ORC Park);
fencing /securement of all primary entrance /access points;
fencing /securement of the perimeter of Phillips Lake;
secondary entrance /access points around perimeter of the park have been identified.
and associated fencing / securement requirements for the entire property are pending;
• rear yard chain link sections have also been constructed for residences backing onto
ORC Park;
• terrestrial monitoring surveys for all vegetation communities, mapped all flora and fauna
Species of Concern (breeding bird and amphibian surveys) as well -as road kill surveys.
TRCA. staff will work closely with the Town of Richmond Hill and the Region of York to ensure
that their objectives will be met through the implementation of the ORC management plan.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The remaining funds will be received from the former landowner /developer, as stipulated in the
land exchange agreement, by TRCA as building permits for development are issued. The
remaining balance is expected within the next 5 years. The balance currently remaining in our
account at TRCA is approximately $268,000. The financial contributions for 2008 -2009 are

received by TRCA February 20, 2008.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
Background
The Town of Whitchurch - Stouffville (TOWS) currently receives its water supply from
groundwater sources. A Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) - Schedule B was
filed by York Region in 2006 that identified the preferred solution for additional water supply to
meet future growth in the TOWS. Additional water supply is required by.2009. The preferred
solution is to extract additional water supply from Lake Ontario via the York Water System
(YWS) and use it in combination with the existing groundwater supply. The additional lake
based supply will provide approximately 25% of the Town's water supply.
The additional water supply extraction will be undertaken by constructing a connection and
booster station at the existing Markham Reservoir located south of Stouffville Road and east of
McCowan Road. A watermain will then be constructed from the booster station to McCowan
Road, where it will extend along the east side of McCowan Road north to Stouffville Road, at
which point it will, run east along the south side of Stouffville Road. This application is for
approval for York Region to construct the connection and booster pumping station at the
Markham Reservoir and the watermain from this location to a point on Stouffville Road
approximately 400 metres west of Highway 48. The EA also assessed watermain requirements
eastward from this point to Ringwood Drive (passing Highway 48) to connect to the exiting
system, and north on Hwy. 48 from Stouffville Road to Millard Street. _The Town of
Whitchurch - Stouffville will be submitting a detailed design package in the future for a permit
applic.ation to complete the watermain connection eastward from'the limit of York Region's
contract . Watermain works were approved by TRCA through issuance of an Ontario
Regulation 166/06 permit ( #C- 07464) to the TOWS in 2007 for connection to the existing
system at Ringwood Drive and north on Highway 48 to Millard Street..
Regulated .Construction Works
Proposed works within the regulated area include construction of the watermain on Stouffville
Road where it crosses a watercourse on the south side, approximately 300 metres east of
•McCowan Road.. Within the regulated area the watermain will be constructed by directional
drilling approximately 2.8 metres below the watercourse. Works will be undertaken in the
Regional Storm Floodplain including the construction of a temporary exit shaft for the
directional drilling procedure, and the construction of a permanent underground valve chamber
with a watertight lid. All post- construction grades in the regulated area and Regional Storm
Floodplain will match existing grades. All other works apart from the directional drilling
procedure will be constructed by open -cut methodology.
55
A contingency plan in the event that frac -out occurs during construction will be in place on the
detailed design drawings. If it is determined during construction that directional drilling is not
feasible due to frac -out, the proponent will be required to propose another suitable method for
crossing the watercourse (i.e. jack and bore, open -cut of the watercourse) and obtain a revision
to this permit from TRCA by submitting updated information as required by TRCA staff, to
confirm the alternative method will not have significant impacts on the natural environment.
During construction effective erosion and sediment control .(ESC) measures will be
implemented to protect all natural features (aquatic and terrestrial). Any water derived from
groundwater dewatering or pumping of open cut trench excavations will be managed to
prevent impacts to surrounding natural environmental features.
Control of Flooding:
The storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be impacted by the proposed works as final
grades are to match existing grades in.the flood plain.
Pollution:
Standard erosion and sediment control measures (silt /sediment fence, rock check dams, etc.)
will be implemented and maintained for the duration of construction and until the site is
stabilized and restored to prevent construction generated sediment from entering any
watercourse.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There will be nb slope stability concerns with the proposed project.
Conservation of Land:.
With erosion and sedimentation control plans and frac -out contingency plans in effect, impacts
to the aquatic environment are not anticipated and the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO)
Operational Statement for High- Pressure Directional Drilling will apply for these works.
Plantings
All disturbed areas will be' restored to better than existing conditions with
native /non- invasive species following construction. A.planting' plan will be implemented.
to provide a net environmental gain in.the regulated area and riparian corridor of the
watercourse.
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 works is within the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) and Greenbelt. The project
has been reviewed for the tests and best management practices described in Section 41(5)(a to •

completed during the cold -water fisheries timing window (June 15 to September 15). A portion
of these works are also located within the estimated Regional Storm Floodplain, however
grades post construction will match existing grades. A section of 600 mm diameter storm
sewer will be replaced within a regulated area on Burns Boulevard.
Collard Drive Sewage Pumping Station
Construction of the Collard Drive Pumping Station will be within the municipal right -of -way on
the east side of Collard Drive, south of Burns Boulevard. The station will be predominantly
underground, however and area of approximately 2.5 metres by 2.5 metres and 1.5 metres
above ground will be located within the regulated wetland interference limit.
The proponent will provide an emergency overflow for this pumping station to protect the
nearby residential areas from sewage back -up in the event of a complete failure of the pumping
station. The overflow will discharge into the existing storm sewer manhole that outlets to a
watercourse north of Collard Drive. This overflow will be 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 pumping station is the existing 300 mm diameter storm sewer
that outlets to the existing watercourse as identified above. The overflow will be a 200 mm
diameter pipe extending from proposed manhole MH281C to the existing storm sewer manhole
on Collard Drive. The overflow pipe will be sized to handle the ultimate peak design flow of the
pumping station. To reduce the risk of a complete failure of the 'pumping station, a number of
contingency features have been included in the design of the station.
59
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 storm manhole. This will protect the valve from
siltation and debris and allow for easier maintenance.
Construction and Environmental Management Plan (EMP)
During construction effective erosion and sediment control (ESC) measures will. be
implemented to protect all natural features (aquatic and terrestrial). Any water derived from
groundwater dewatering or pumping of open cut trench excavations will be managed to
prevent impacts to surrounding natural environmental features. Further, any dewatering will be
monitored throughout construction and mitigation measures for potential effects identified
implemented in accordance with the approved EMP. •
Control of Flooding:
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, catchbasin silt control
filter, etc.) 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 any
wetland /watercourse:
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no slope stability concerns with the proposed project.
Conservation of Land:
For works in the regulated area on Station Road, immediately west of the watercourse, 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). Otherwise, impacts to
the aquatic and terrestrial environment are not anticipated.
Plantings
All disturbed areas will be restored 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 works is within the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) and Greenbelt. The project
has been reviewed for the tests and best management practices described in Section 41(5) (a to

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
Mimico Creek Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a weir intake structure to
provide water for irrigation purposes on the adjacent Parkshore Golf Club, located in the City of
Brampton. Currently, the Parkshore Golf Course.takes water directly from a tributary traversing
the subject lands associated with the Mimico Creek Watershed, using an informal weir intake
structure. The current structure has been identified as a fish barrier. To formalize,the weir
intake structure, the proponent has applied for a Permit to Take Water (PTW) from the Ministry •
of the Environment (MOE). As required by MOE, the proponent is required to replace the
current structure (which currently exceeds MOE's requirements for water intake) and install a
correctly designed weir intake structure. In -water works will be required to facilitate this project.
and during construction, all works will be completed in the 'dry'. The work area will be sealed
off by implementing a coffer dam in accordance with TRCA's guidelines. The installation of the
new weir intake will ensure that proper water levels are maintained for baseflow conditions. In
63
addition, the golf course has agreed to implement low water response measures as part of a
Drought Management Plan, where water intake is decreased according to low water level alerts.
In addition, the weir structure and channel banks will be properly stabilized using
bioengineering techniques, such that it will not create unstable' bank conditions or contribute to
erosion up or downstream. Enhancement riparian plantings and live planting stakes have been
incorporated into the design of this project along the channel banks and within the golf course
• limits in order to improve the ecological condition of this area.
Control of Flooding:
No excavated materials are proposed to be placed within the Regional Storm Floodplain. In
addition, no equipment will be stored within the floodplain. As such, the proposed works
associated with this application are not expected to result in any negative impacts to the
storage and /or conveyance of floodwaters.
Pollution:
Standard sediment and erosion control measures (cofferdam, silt fence) will be implemented
and maintained for the duration of construction in order to prevent construction generated
sediment from entering any watercourse.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not-applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical concerns associated with this application.
Conservation of Land:
With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a Harmful Alteration, Disruption

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 to alter a tributary of the Humber River, in order to
conduct topsoil stripping works and construct four (4) temporary sediment ponds and
associated outfalls, in order to facilitate the servicing of Planning Block 64, in the City of
Vaughan.
Planning Block 64 is bounded by Rutherford Road to the north, Highway 50 to the west,
Langstaff Road to the south and to the east by Huntington Road. There is an approved Master
Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) in place for Planning Block 64. This was approved earlier
in 2005. During the MESP process, the limits of the Humber River valley corridor in this area
were identified and delineated. Since the approval of the Block 64 MESP, TRCA staff has
received and draft approved a related draft plan of subdivision (19T- 06V13). The subject works
will address one of the conditions of draft plan approval, specifically as it relates to grading
works on the subject site.
The proposed works involve topsoil stripping works for the whole block including lands outside
. and within the TRCA's Regulated Area for the Humber River. In addition, the applicant proposes
to construct four (4) temporary sediment ponds to treat stormwater flows from the stripped site,
prior to its discharge into the watercourse. A comprehensive erosion and sediment control plan
has been submitted which includes the use of extensive environmental fencing cut -off swales,
rock check dams, topsoil stockpiles, mud mat entrances along with'the aforementioned
sediment ponds.
Once construction activities are completed, all disturbed areas are to be stabilized through
seeding (using a temporary erosion control mix). Inspectors will be on site to ensure the .
continued effectiveness of erosion and sediment control measures. These inspections will'be
carried out after every rainfall event and a minimum of once every week.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed grading works will be take place outside of the established development limits
and outside the Regional Storm Flood Plain. As such, the storage or conveyance of flood
waters will not be impacted by the proposed works.
Pollution:
Erosion and sediment control measures (as outlined above) will be implemented prior to
construction and maintained for the duration of the works to ensure that sediment does not
enter the nearby watercourse and adjacent valley corridor.

received February 29, 2008; prepared by the Regional Municipality of York.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The entire $9 million dollar contract consists of the widening 1.68 kilometres of Dufferin Street
from 4 to 6 lanes plus turning lanes from Steeles Avenue in the south to Glenn Shields
Avenue /Draper Boulevard in the north, which is south of Highway 407. TRCA staff has concern
for the areas within the regulation lines surrounding the bridge across West Don River between
Stations 1 +300 to 1 +700 in the south, surrounding the Westminster Creek that runs parallel to
the east side of Dufferin Street in the north between Stations 2 +200 to 2 +660 as well as the
TRCA owned lands south of the CN crossing at Station 1 +415. Both the West Don River and
the Westminster Creek have Regional Storm Floodplains associated with them. There will be
no in water works associated with this project, however, there will be near water works that will
require standard erosion and sediment controls.
The works will involve the excavating and the placing of fill for the road widening works from 4
to 6 lanes, which generally include the installing of the storm sewers and oil grit separators, the
changing of the existing open parapet wall to a solid parapet wall on the bridge, and the
constructing of two outfalls /headwalls and two Oil Grit Separators for water quality. Dufferin
Street is the first of the Regional Municipality of York's roads to follow the new "Towards Great
Regional Streets" Design Guidelines that will provide a vegetated median, a dedicated
bus /High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction as well as bike lanes and pedestrian
walkways in combination with the 4 lanes of regular traffic.
The works on TRCA' s owned lands involve grading back a hill to facilitate the road widening.
No structures will be constructed on TRCA's lands,. and Region of York staff has advised there
will be no need for maintenance in the future on these lands that need to be graded. The
project was reviewed by TRCA Staff during the Environmental Assessment process through file
CFN 36041.
Control of Flooding:
TRCA Staff has reviewed the hydraulic model for changing from an open parapet wall to a
closed parapet wall and has determined that there will not be any negative impacts to flooding.
Pollution:
Standard erosion control measures will be implemented to ensure that the
construction - generated sediments do not enter the watercourse. Oil grit separators will be
constructed at 2 locations to enhance .water quality.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
71
Erosion:
The Storm Water Management (SWM) Report has been reviewed by TRCA staff and the plans
by the Region of York will addressed erosion.
Conservation of Land:
There will be near water works associated with this project. The two outfalls /head walls
draining to the West Don River will be constructed on the east side of Dufferin Street with one
located north of the bridge and another just -north of the CN tracks. As well two Oil Grit
Separators (OGS) will be constructed near water, one near the bridge over the West Don River
in the south and the other near the north end of the project limits- close.to Westminister Creek.
Both the outfalls and OGSs will be isolated from the tributaries to the watercourses with
standard erosion and sediment controls. With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the
potential for -a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be
mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the Fisheries and
Oceans Canada (DFO). The proposed works will impact no significant terrestrial resource
features.
There is a section within the project limits that will be graded to facilitate the road widening on
lands owned by the TRCA south of the CN tracks, on the east side of Dufferin Street. An
archaeological investigation was conducted in 2007.on.the area to be graded and clearance
has been received by TRCA's archaeologist from the Ministry of Culture. The TRCA's Real
Estate Co- ordinator will be preparing a Permission To Enter (PTE) for the temporary working
easement and the PTE will be issued at the same time as the TRCA permit.
Plantings
All disturbed areas will be restored with native /non - invasive species following
construction. The Regional Municipality of York has provided a net benefit with the
proposed plantings around the West Don River in the right of way and in the medians.

The permit will be issued for the period of March 7, 2008 to March 6, 2010 in accordance with
the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
• Erosion & Sediment Control Plan (Drawing No. 12), prepared by Skira & Associates

• Final Remedial Action Plan (RAP) V2 Report, prepared by Terra Firma Plus Inc., dated
November 8, 2007, received by the TRCA on December 6, 2007.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:.
Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to undertake grading and soil remediation works within a
TRCA•Regulated Area of the Humber River which are required in order to facilitate the future
development of the site for residential uses. The proposed works, as part of this permit
application, are a part of a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) reviewed and approved by City of
Vaughan and TRCA staff.
Under a previous land owner, the subject property had been filled and used as an illegal landfill
prior to 1989. According to the Ministry of the Environment, the site was used as a disposal site
and charges were laid under the Environmental Protection Act. This filling had significantly
altered the natural features on the site, resulting in the creation of a new.slope feature and
alteration to the Regional Storm Flood Plain. The current owner of the property has indicated
that the fill material is unsuitable for development and is proposing the removal of the material
as part of this permit application. The grading works proposed with this application are required
in order to remove contaminated soils that leached contaminants into the adjacent
watercourse, as well as to address slope stability issues.
Concurrent with the RAP, the proponent is required and has agreed to hire a qualified
environmental inspector / engineer to be on -site to ensure that the erosion and sediment
control measures to be applied are maintained at all times during the construction of the
remediation works on the site.
85
As part of the RAP, the proponent will also use a layered approach to the removal of site
material / contaminants. The purpose of this approach is to dig up the site layer by layer in
order to ensure the stability of the site and to provide the continued upkeep of the erosion and
sediment control measures necessary-to prevent the migration of materials or other matters
during the course of construction.
In addition, the applicant's related Draft Plan of Subdivision (19T- 06V15) and Zoning By -law
Amendment Application (Z.06.74) have been conditionally approved by TRCA staff and provide
for the ultimate grading and.replanting design for the future development.
Control of Flooding:
As part.of the conditions of approval for the related Draft Plan of Subdivision, the proposed top
of bank is to be located 0.5 metres above the Regional Storm Flood Elevation. All developable
land will be located outside of the Regional Storm Flood.Plain. TRCA water resources staff are
satisfied that the slope and grading works will not . impede the storage and conveyance of
floodwaters.
Pollution:•
A temporary drainage ditch with flow regulating rock check dams, outletting to a temporary
sediment trap basin, will be constructed to control the transport of sediment and prevent
sediment from entering the adjacent watercourse (Rainbow Creek). Additionally, sediment
control fencing will be installed and maintained along the outside edge of the temporary .
drainage ditch to contain sediment within the'temporary drainage channel. A qualified
environmental inspector / engineer will be on -site and site material /contaminant removal will
occur in layers to ensure proper erosion and sediment control measures are maintained.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed works will create a slope with greater
stability than existing conditions, suitable for future development.
Conservation of Land:
The proposed works will remove contaminated soils that once leached contaminants into the
adjacent watercourse (Rainbow Creek); thereby providing an improvement over existing
conditions. As part of the conditionally approved Draft .Plan of Subdivision application,
appropriate buffers will be implemented from the edge of the valley feature to prevent
development from impacting the, future stable and vegetated slope /.valley wall. In addition, an
Edge Management Plan will be implemented for areas around Rainbow Creek to ensure the
protection of the watercourse and wildlife corridor. There are no other significant natural
features on, or adjacent to the site that may be negatively impacted by the project.
Plantings
As part of the conditionally approved Draft Plan of Subdivision, all plantings within the
site and associated linkages are to be composed of native species. The final re- planting
and re- forestation designs are a part of the Draft Plan of Subdivision application.

TOWN OF CALEDON
8.1.70 RIVER'S EDGE BOLTON LTD. C/O KIRK MAWHINNEY
To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade and
temporarily or permanently place, dump.or remove any material, originating on
the site or elsewhere on Lot 53, 63, Plan 43R- 20636, (60 Ann Street), in the Town
of Caledon, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by
River's Edge Bolton Ltd. c/o Kirk Mawhinney. The purpose is to construct a new
residential condominium building within the Bolton Special Policy Area.
The permit will be issued for the period of March 7, 2008 to March 6, 2010 in accordance with
the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
• Letter of undertaking provided by Frank Mazzotta, Armour Heights Developments,
dated March 5, 2008, to address 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 application is to permit the construction of a new multi- storey residential
condominium building, and associated amenities within the Bolton Special Policy-Area (SPA),
directly adjacent to Humber River Main Branch, in the Town of Caledon. The 'subject property,
more specifically known as 60 Ann Street, is located north of King Street West, west of Queen
Street within the Humber River valley in the historic community of the Village of Bolton.
Development was previously contemplated on the subject property by Humber Manor
Developments in the early 1990's which culminated in the property being rezoned by the
Ontario Municipal Board (as discussed further below) at that time.
The Current proposal is for the creation of a 6 storey 72 unit condominium building, (tapering to
3 stories on the eastern portion o the site) on a 0.69 hectare (1.7,acre) site. The proposed
development will include 3 levels of underground parking, with outdoor amenity areas. As part
of this development, lands directly adjacent to Humber River (approx. 10 metres in width) w'1
be gratuitously dedicated to the Town of Caledon. A landscaped area and trail will be'
constructed by the developer within this area.
87
This portion of the Village of Bolton (historic community) is located within the valley of the
Humber River, and is flood vulnerable in a Regional Storm event. The property is however,
located within the Bolton Special Policy Area (SPA). Within SPAs (including the Bolton SPA), a
lesser level of flood protection, as established by the Province and defined in the related .
municipal official plan may be contemplated, subject to meeting technical floodproofing and •
safe access requirements. The 2005 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) has clarified the intent of
SPAs as being to facilitate the continued viability of existing floodprone communities, with new
development and redevelopment generally being on a small scale. Further, SPAs are not
intended to facilitate intensification where opportunities exist within a community to intensify .
outside of the SPA.
The Town of Caledon Official Plan has policies with regard to development in the SPA. These
identify that the minimum level of flood protection for all new structures shall be the 1:500 year
storm event, (an 18% risk of flooding over the anticipated 100 year lifespan). The related SPA
Policies also require 'Safe Access' to the site,. pursuant to Provincial guidelines. TRCA's Valley
and Stream Corridor Management Plan similarly addresses development within SPAs, and
identifies, in addition to the above, structural floodproofing requirements, and other criteria that
are to be applied.
As noted above, this, property was the subject of an OMB hearing in 1993, in which a rezoning
application for the subject property was co.nsidered. Based upon discussions at that time with
the then landowners, and the submission of technical reports, TRCA staff were generally
satisfied by the end of the OMB hearing with the proposed rezoning of the property. This
position was based upon the technical information available at that time, which indicated that
the building could be floodproofed to the necessary level, and off-site impacts .of the
development were not anticipated. TRCA staff identified at that time that development on the
site would be subject to a more detailed review of floodproofing details, at the time of
submission of a site plan and TRCA permit application. Provincial staff (MNR) also considered
the application at the time, and based upon materials provided to them at the time, similarly
were of the position that their interests had been substantially satisfied, and did not object to
the rezoning application being approved by the OMB. The OMB approved a 'Multiple
Residential' zoning classification, and a 'High Density Residential' Official Plan designation.
Development did not proceed on the property at that time, and a formal development proposal
was not brought forward for the property until the submission of a site plan by River's Edge
Bolton Ltd. in. September of 2007.
The current:zoning (as approved by the OMB) and OP designations require no further
amendments to allow for the development presently proposed on the property. In the review of
the proposed site plan application, and supporting technical details by TRCA staff, TRCA staff
identified concerns with respect to potential impacts of this development on flooding on
adjacent properties. It was, however, the assertion of the engineering consultants for the
proponents that a lesser impact would result from the proposed development, through
updating the floodplain modeling for this area. TRCA staff worked with the consultants to
'establish the parameters around which the area could be remodeled, and the potential impacts
assessed. TRCA staff were extensively involved in the subsequent review of the updated
modeling. The results of this updated modeling did not, significantly vary from the results of the
existing TRCA model, however TRCA staff did update the floodplain modeling in the area to
more accurately determine the potential impacts of this development.
88
The work completed by TRCA staff has identified that there will be an impact (although it is
anticipated to be both localized and relatively minor in scope) that would result from the
construction of the proposed building. Within an SPA, as the area is located within the
floodplain, all development has some impact on the floodplain. The anticipated local impact
associated with this proposal is in excess of the off-site impacts that are typically permitted in
SPAs for new development, which must generally be within the limits of accuracy of the model.
In this regard, the proposed development may result in a localized increase in flood levels in
the order of 14 cm (6 inches) on an area on the north side of the Humber River valley, adjacent
to the subject property during a Regional Storm event. This impact is anticipated to be localized
to areas adjacent to the proposed building on the opposite side of the valley, and would only
be experienced in storm events in excess of the 1:500 year storm event.
Recognizing the limitations associated with the existing model, that are specific to the Bolton
SPA, TRCA senior engineering staff are satisfied that the proposed off-site flooding impacts
although measurable, are not excessive. With consideration for the OMB decision, which allows
for a development of the size and intensity that is presently proposed, and the limitations of the
existing floodplain model for this area as noted above, and the potential for an improved overall
risk management and evacuation strategy to be developed for the floodprone areas of Bolton,
TRCA senior staff are satisfied that this proposal represents an acceptable balance between a
slight localized increase in flooding, and the decrease in risk for the broader Bolton community
that would result from the above noted strategy. Through the modeling work completed by
TRCA staff, TRCA staff have discovered areas which need to be operationally managed and
attention must be focused during flood events, such as debris and ice risks associated with the
Hickman Bridge upstream of this site, to reduce potential future risk on the areas adjacent that
would be impacted by the proposed development across from the subject property. TRCA staff
have initiated the larger discussions with the Town of Caledon on the need for a more
comprehensive strategy for Bolton which would include the above noted strategy, and TRCA
staff will continue active dialogue with Caledon on intensification and emergency management
measures for the floodprone areas of Bolton. A future meeting is being arranged with the
Province and Caledon staff to further discuss these. issues, as well as the nature of future
development in the Bolton SPA.
The proponent has agreed to contribute to the funding for the overall.risk management strategy
that TRCA staff have recommended to operationally reduce the overall flood related risk in
Bolton. The proponent has also committed to provide for safe access to the building during a
Regional Storm event - pursuant to Provincial objectives. Final details on the form.of this
access are being further refined in consultation with TRCA staff, finalized and reflected in the
associated permit drawings prior to issuance of the permit. The requirement for dewatering of
the underground parking areas during construction as well as permanent dewatering will
similarly be further refined, and will be finalized and reflected in the associated permit drawings
prior to issuance of the permit. This permit is being brought forward on the basis of a letter of
undertaking provided by the proponent, which commits to address all outstanding TRCA issues
prior to the issuance of the permit, and prior to all works for which a TRCA permit would be
requires, being initiated on the site.
89
Control of Flooding:
The proposed development is located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, and minor impacts
to the floodplain are anticipated as a result of the proposed development. However, the
potential impacts must be balanced with the potential gains that would result from reducing
overall flood risk for Bolton through a comprehensive emergency management strategy. With
consideration for the nature of this SPA and of development in SPAs in general, and with
consideration for the localized impact that may result, in relation to the potential to reduce
overall flood risk for Bolton through an emergency management strategy, TRCA senior
engineering staff are satisfied that this proposal - in this.instance - represents'an acceptable
impact.
Pollution:
. Appropriate erosion and sediment controls.will be installed and maintained on the subject
property throughout all phases of construction, in accordance with TRCA's current Sediment
and. Erosion Control Guidelines.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
The potential for erosion was previously considered during the approval of the related planning
applications by the OMB. The reports at that time concluded that there would be no significant
erosion concerns. As these 'reports have not been updated at this time, TRCA staff have
recommended to Town of Caledon staff (as Caledon will take ownership of the lands directly
adjacent to the Humber River) that this issue be further considered by Caledon, prior to their
assumption of the lands.
Conservation of Land:
Based upon the envelope for development approved by the OMB, areas of existing vegetation
on the western portion of this site may be removed through the development of this property.
However, the applicant will be required to minimize all potential impacts.to the greatest possible
extent, and to provide for additional plantings on lands to be conveyed to the Town of Caledon
as compensation.
Plantings
All plant species will be native and non - invasive, consistent with TRCA's guidelines.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal meets the intent of Section 4.2.1 (B) - Development within Designated Special
Policy Areas - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

that submitted tenders, beginning with the second lowest bidder;
AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take such actions as is •
necessary to implement the contract including .the signing and execution of documents.
CARRIED* •
BACKGROUND
It is the intent of TRCA to draw an expanded and diverse client base to Heart Lake Conservation
Area (HLCA) in order to increase 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
endorsement of the HLCA Master Plan was approved as follows:
THAT the Heart Lake Conservation Area Master Plan, dated June 1, 2006 be approved;
92
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 HLCA Master Plan is the revitalization of the Heart Lake
• Beach Centre building. The beach centre building at Heart Lake Conservation Area has fallen
into disrepair, becoming a health and safety issue for staff and patrons. It has also become an
eyesore to an otherwise aesthetically pleasing environment. Staff report frequent vandalism to
the building envelope and have since closed the washrooms for public use.
In response to the recently adopted Heart Lake Master Plan, Accent Building Sciences Inc. was
retained to conduct an extensive building condition assessment of the existing beach centre
building and develop reconstruction options for staff review. The study produced an
assessment of the existing facilities property and identified the physical adequacy of the
construction, material and equipment. The study produced four options for staff review. The
four options for reconstruction included:
1. reconstruction of entire facility for re -use;
2. retain existing building and selectively re -use portions of the existing facility to incorporate
storage, washroom and open air pavilion;
3. demolish entire facility and construct new facilities;
4. refurbish washrooms and open air pavilion only; demolish other portions of facility.
Staff reviewed the options presented and concluded that option 4, 'Refurbish washrooms and
open air pavilion only', was the most cost effective option.
As a result of and in conjunction with the recently endorsed HLCA Master Plan and approved
capital budget funding from the Regional Municipality of Peel, staff retained the services of
Kregg Fordyce Architect for the preparation of the Heart Lake Conservation Area Beach Centre
Renovation design. Staff worked closely with Kregg Fordyce Architect to prepare and refine the
design and construction drawings required to move forward with the tendering, building permit
and construction process.
Highlights of the design include:
• selectively eliminating portions of the existing building; •
• existing washrooms and utility rooms are to be retrofitted to utilize sustainable conservation
methods;
• covered open air pavilion to be constructed adjacent to the existing washrooms by
extending the existing roof line;
• pavilion to retain the existing fireplace, concrete floor and existing flagstone patio.
In December, 2007 staff retained the services of Rafat General.Contractors for the selective
demolition of portions of the existing building. The demolition process was completed in early
January, 2008, thus allowing staff to proceed to the construction phase of the project.
In conjunction with Kregg Fordyce Architect, staff prepared a Request for Tender for the
complete structural construction of the approved design.
93
The following firms were invited to submit tenders for the project:
• Berkim Construction Inc.;
• BWK Construction;
• Dardon Contractors;
• Frank Pellegrino General Contracting*Limited;
• Precision Contracting;
• . Rafat;
• Surrey Construction;
• Urbacon (c /o Janik Developments Inc.).
Tender documents and drawings were distributed to the aforementioned general contractors.
The tender closed on February 11, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. The public opening was held on February
13, 2008 at TRCA's. Head Office. Tenders were received as follows;
COMPANY
BID
Berkim Construction Inc.
$257,145.00
BWK Construction
$299,250.00
Surrey Construction
$188,257.72
ANALYSIS
Staff evaluated the proposals based on criteria that included:
• completeness;
• compliance with tender requirements;
• relevant project experience;
• • references; and
• .fee proposals.
Based on the evaluation criteria and recommendations from Kregg Fordyce Architect, staff
concluded that the tender submitted by Surrey Construction meets all requirements set out in
the tender documents and is the lowest bid received.
Subsequently, staff evaluated the tenders and determined that the lowest tendered bid is over
the approved available budget of $130,000. Staff recommend that the following series of cost
saving measures be implemented during the contract negotiating phase in order to reduce
project cost:-
1. line item deletions: the project's scope•of work to be altered by directly deleting line items
from the tender. form;
2. revisions using submitted unit prices: the project's scope. of work to be altered by revising
the quantity of selected design elements (revised prices shall be calculated by applying the
unit prices for addition and deletion of items submitted by the contractor on the tender
form);
3. .negotiated reductions using submitted lump sum prices after redesign: reductions to be •
achieved through the redesign of selected project elements and subsequent negotiations
with the contractor.
94
As a result of the implementation of cost saving measures, the integrity of the project will
remain intact, will not be compromised and the Heart Lake Beach Centre will become a focal
point of the conservation area.
Staff is confident that as a result of implementing the cost saving measures as outlined above
during the contract negotiating phase, Surrey Construction will conduct the required tasks in a
timely and cost effective manner that meet the approved facility budget of $130,000. If staff is •
unable to come to a mutually agreeable contract, then staff will enter into contact negotiations
with the next lowest bidder:
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The bid prices were substantially more than the estimated costs prior to tendering, due in large
measure to the high level of demand for contractors in the current market.
Funds required to support and complete this project are available from the Regional
Municipality of Peel within the Public Use Peel Region Capital Budget account #421 -33. By
changing some aspects of the design, but without sacrificing the functionality and longevity of
the building, staff expect to be able to reduce the cost of the project to match approximately the
available budget.

BACKGROUND
Since 1995, with the closure of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources tree nursery program,
TRCA and other Greater. Toronto Area (GTA) conservation authorities (Credit Valley,
Nottawasaga Valley, Lake Simcoe Region and Halton Region) have been coordinating
purchasing reforestation seedlings through Somerville Nurseries Inc. as a means of supplying
their individual program requirements. Somerville Nurseries Inc., located in Everett (near
Alliston), effectively took over the supply of reforestation stock following the provincial
governments decision to transfer the propagation and production to the private sector.
TRCA's seedling demand forecast is based on TRCA's experience with facilitating internal
reforestation needs for TRCA and private landowner planting programs. In recent years,
TRCA's demand has increased and forecasts reflect this: However, recent project initiatives
have come forward in an accelerated fashion and have created a shortfall between.anticipated
demand and actual orders. TRCA's anticipated demand for 2008 was provided to Somerville .
Seedlings Inc. in 2005 to assist them in ascertaining seed collection and seeding targets as it
takes up to 3 years to produce a marketable seedling.
It is difficult to accurately gauge the actual number of seedlings required in advance of the
planting season as new projects and other approvals come on line at different times.
Accordingly, staff has gone back to Somerville Nurseries Inc. to fulfill these additional
requirements as they are made known to staff and are added to TRCA's annual base allocation.
For spring 2008, TRCA has again experienced an increased internal demand. for reforestation
seedlings to satisfy larger project initiatives including Claireville regeneration and Oak Ridges
Corridor Park. With the recent addition of the Peel Climate Change initiative, staff expects that
the requests for seedlings may increase yet again before the start of the plantingseason.
RATIONALE
In response to the GTA conservation authorities (CA) aggregating their demand forecasts,
Somerville Nurseries Inc. has provided consistent quality seedlings at very favourable unit
pricing for CA orders, below market list. This pricing structure recognizes the volume of
seedlings that CA's are requesting to fulfill their tree planting programs allowing for all
quantities to be discounted at or below, the 1,000+ quantity rate. -
While there are other reforestation seedling growers in Ontario, it has been and continues to be
otir collective experience that Somerville Nurseries Inc. is offering us the best combination of:
• consistent seedling quality;
• seed, zone and genetic source control;
• excellent unit pricing;
• ability to provide for identified stock - species, size, type, age - class;
• flexibility to meet last minute demand for.additional stock; •
• convenience as the most local supplier; and
• willingness to work with CA's to achieve seedling target.demand.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Currently, with orders on file to date, staff is expecting to purchase over 1'70;000 seedlings for
TRCA requirements at a cost of $88,495.57, plus PST and GST.
96
On approval, a parent purchase order will be issued to Somerville Nurseries Inc. with all costs
directed to account 116 -09 -230: A deposit of 25% of the order value is required to confirm the
order. Somerville Nurseries Inc. has been very flexible in extending the deposit due date from
January 15, 2008.
All costs associated with the purchase, shipping and handling and distribution of seedlings is
recovered from the specific project /program budget accounts through an internal billing memo
following the spring 2008 period.

BACKGROUND
Lake St. George Field Centre is a 350 acre residential environmental education facility that
provides outdoor and environmental education programs primarily to students from the
Toronto,. Toronto Catholic and York Region District school boards, along with other schools
from across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). With two dormitories, Lake Si. George Field
Centre can accommodate up to 74 student, youth or adult visitors. Typical visits are between
two to five days in duration.
97
A key feature of Lake St. George Field Centre is the lake from which the centre draws its name. .
A 25 acre kettle lake consisting of two basins and a connecting channel, the lake is the primary
focus of much of the environmental programming that takes place during the spring, summer
and autumn months. A large portion of the lake -based programming occurs on a pontoon boat
from which the students take part in a number of water and lake studies. For this purpose the
field centre has used two different pontoon boats in recent years: a 24' Sylvan with 19"
pontoons that accommodated up to 12 passengers and 2 crew members and, in 2007, a 19'
Gilgetter that was able to accommodate 8 students /passengers and one crew member. The
Gilgetter was purchased as a temporary measure until a new, larger boat could be built that
better suits the needs of the field centre.
In late autumn, 2006, TRCA staff began exploring options to replace the original 24' Sylvan
pontoon boat as it had been repaired a number of times and was at the end of its life cycle. In
exploring a range of commercially - available and custom pontoon boats, staff met with a
number of boat manufacturers, all of which construct typical boats utilizing internal combustion
outboard motors for propulsion. During this period staff also met with Tamarack Lake Electric
Boat Company in Brechin, Ontario to discuss the potential of purchasing one of their
solar - powered electric pontoon boats.
Tamarack Lake Electric Boat Company manufactures commercial pontoon boats as pleasure
craft utilizing a solar - powered electric propulsion system. Tamarack Lake boats emit zero
emissions and utilize solar panels on the roof of the boat to power an electric motor for
propulsion of the vessel. They are the only manufacturer of its type in•North America and have
sold a number of boats to customers in North America and Europe, including one to Camp
Bernard in Sundridge, Ontario. TRCA staff visited Camp Bernard in September of 2007 to test •
their Tamarack Lake electric boat and found that while the size was smaller than what is
required at Lake St. George, the design and propulsion systems were functional and with their
zero emission output, provided an extremely high value of sustainability. This purchase
provides a valuable addition to TRCA's suite of sustainable technologies and vehicles.
TRCA staff met with the Tamarack Lake Electric Boat Company to discuss the possibility of
having acustom boat built that met the specifications and needs of Lake St. George. The
commercially- available boats that Tamarack Lake currently sells are smaller than what is
required for the education programming at Lake St. George, and as such staff were interested
in determining if the solar photo - voltaic array and propulsion systems could be fitted to a larger
craft with a greater passenger load. Tamarack Lake confirmed that their solar powered electric
propulsion systems could be scaled -up to.a larger platform to meet the needs of Lake St.
George education programming and that they would be interested in submitting a proposal for

Unilock Industry Talk and Technology Transfer, Chicago, Illinois
April 8, 2008. Approval for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
staff to travel outside Canada to attend a seminar in the United States of
. America.
Ron Moeser
Rob Ford
THAT approval be granted for Derek Smith, Monitoring Coordinator, Sustainable
Technologies, to attend and present at the Unilock Industry Talk and Technology Transfer
seminar in Chicago, Illinois from April 7 - 9, 2008 at no cost to Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA).
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
It has been well documented that urban development is causing detrimental, impacts on natural
watercourses. Run -off from paved and impermeable surfaces carry a variety of pollutants that
ultimately degrade river and lake ecosystems, as well as increase erosion and flooding due to
the higher run -off volumes. To date, permeable pavements and bioretention swales are two of
the most promising technologies currently used to infiltrate run -off and reduce pollutant loads
from large parking areas.
Considered one of the leading manufacturers of segmental pavers in North America,
Unilock's® line of segmental 'permeable' pavers (SPP) allow run -off infiltration while maintaining
a drivable surface. Since Septernber,.2004, TRCA, on behalf of its Sustainable Technologies
Evaluation Program (STEP):, has been actively monitoring the performance of the SPPs at its
demonstration project entitled 'Performance Evaluation of Permeable Pavement and a
Bioretention Swale.' Unilock® has requested that a representative from TRCA/STEP present
the interim results from the study at an upcoming seminar in Chicago.
99
The theme of the seminar is a one day industry talk and technology transfer session, followed
by a ribbon cutting ceremony opening North America's largest SPP installation at U.S. Cellular
Field (home of the Chicago White Sox baseball team). The seminar is expecting 150 attendees,
including municipal /state /private engineers, architects,- planners, as well as the mayor of
Chicago, local media and a representative of the United States Environmental Protection
Agency.
RATIONALE
Unilock® has offered to sponsor Derek Smith to present TRCA objectives and interim results
from the TRCA /STEP demonstration project. •
Derek Smith will also be attending several private tours around the City of Chicago of other
permeable pavement installations preceding the seminar as a means for professional •
development and technology transfer.
The TRCA policy on.travel requires Executive Committee approval for staff travel outside of the
country on TRCA business.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Cost to attend this conference including return flight, meals, accommodations and taxi fare will
be paid in full by Unilock®. Funding will be provided by Unilock under the account code
416 -95 (STEP permeable pavement /bioswale).

Ontario Municipal Board Hearing: Authorization to maintain party status
before the Ontario Municipal Board on referrals related to a draft °plan of
subdivision and official plan and zoning by -law amendment applications
to permit a golf course community consisting of 75 residential lots and 18.
hole golf course on the subject property.
Ron Moeser
Rob Ford
THAT authorization be given to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff
to maintain party status before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) regarding a proposed
draft plan of subdivision and amendments to the official plan and zoning by -law;
THAT staff continue to work . cooperatively with municipal partners and appellants to
ensure that TRCA's draft conditions are implemented as part of the OMB process;
100
THAT staff be authorized to retain legal counsel to pursue this appeal before the OMB;
AND FURTHER THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so
advised.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The subject property, approximately 85 hectares (210 acres) in size, is located on the west and
east side of Leslie Street, north of Bloomington Road in Aurora. The lands are generally vacant
and used for agricultural purposes. The site is characterized by a mixed topography and
contains a number of significant wetlands and features.
The lands draining into the Rouge River system are within the jurisdiction of TRCA, while the
lands 'draining into the Holland system are under the jurisdiction of Lake Simcoe Region
Conservation Authority (LSRCA). A portion of the site is also located within TRCA's Regulated
area of the Rouge River watershed and subject to Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development,
Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation).
The proposal is to amend the Town of Aurora Official Plan and Zoning By -law in order to permit
the development of a golf course community containing a residential subdivision of 75 lots, as
well as an 18 hole golf course. Water and wastewater services for the entire site, including both
the residential condominium and golf course, are to be provided by on -site groundwater wells,
a private sewage collection system and communal sewage treatment plant.
The applications have been appealed to the OMB by the proponent for the town's failure to
render a decision on the proposed applications within the review period prescribed in the
Planning Act, and for Town of Aurora Council's refusal or neglect to enact the proposed
amendments.
TRCA planning staff has been involved in the review of these files since January, 2001. The
original submission was made to the town in 1988. In 1990, TRCA provided comments on a
previous version of the application. A number of letters were forwarded to town staff and the
consultants requiring additional information and material in order to complete the review of the
Master Environmental Servicing Report (MESP). In May, 2007, TRCA issued notification of
acceptance and approval of the MESP. TRCA also issued draft plan of subdivision and
condominium conditions in January, 2008. Accordingly, TRCA staff is satisfied that the
development can proceed on the basis that the MESP has established the requisite
environmental principles and objectives, as well as the work required subsequently for design
and implementation.
The intent of TRCA's participation in the hearing is to ensure that the draft conditions issued by
staff are adopted by the OMB, should the OMB approve the applications. The conditions are
important in order to ensure the MESP principles previously established are implemented
through the submission of the detailed reports and studies. TRCA's role will be advisory to
assist the OMB and other parties to the hearing.
101
RATIONALE
The next OMB pre- hearing is scheduled for March 7, 2008. The actual hearing will commence
on April 7, 2008 and is scheduled for 3 weeks. Previous pre- hearings were held to determine
the scope of the issues and establish the date of the hearing. Staff attended and provided
preliminary comments respecting the MESP at the initial pre - hearing of February, 2007. TRCA
was also successful in obtaining party status because the MESP was not completed. At the
upcoming hearing, the OMB will consider a motion to combine this appeal with an associated
Environmental Assessment for the road that will service the residential component. It should be
noted the road will be private and will likely be a common element under the condominium
'application.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff is requesting authorization of the Executive Committee to retain legal counsel to ensure
TRCA's interests, as identified in the draft plan conditions, are protected and addressed at the
hearing of April 7, 2008. 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.

112
BACKGROUND
As part of the Port Union Waterfront Regeneration Project, TRCA acquired lands from the
Canadian National Railway Company (CNR) to undertake the construction. CNR agreed to
convey to TRCA the lands required for the project subject to TRCA accepting other surplus
CNR lands located in the Don Valley. The Don Valley Parkway crosses one of the surplus
parcels within the Lower Don River valley corridor. It was CNR's preference that all their surplus
lands at this location be conveyed to TRCA and TRCA would subsequently convey the portion
of property within the Don Valley Parkway road allowance to the City of Toronto.
It is our understanding that the reason these lands were owned by CNR is that they were
required for railway purposes and CNR would only provide the former Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto with a crossing agreement to allow for construction of the Don Valley
Parkway. The City will still maintain a crossing agreement for that portion of the Parkway that
crosses the railway immediately south of this parcel.
When TRCA previously considered this request at Meeting #.7102 on July 26, 2002, the
Authority members were concerned that more land was being conveyed to the City than was
actually required for the Parkway. TRCA staff has had discussion with City staff and they have
reassessed the City's requirements, reducing the amount of and required from TRCA.
The City of Toronto has conveyed lands to TRCA over the years for nominal consideration of
$2.00 and has requested that these lands be conveyed for the nominal consideration of $2.00.
A plan illustrating the subject land is attached.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
• The City of Toronto will assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing this
transaction.

BACKGROUND
The City of Vaughan has formally requested a permanent easement for the maintenance of a
box•culvert and embankment, east of Dufferin Street, south of Teston Road, in the City of
Vaughan.
As part of the development of subdivision 19T -03V16 by Midvale Estates Inc., a box culvert
crossing over a tributary of the upper East Don River at Lady Jessica Drive is proposed within
the limits of this subdivision. The City of Vaughan Engineering Department requires a ,
permanent easement across the subject TRCA -owned lands (Block 62 on Plan 65M -3916) to
maintain the box culvert and the associated embankment which will be located immediately
adjacent to the TRCA property. The area of the box culvert and embankment, including Block
62, are situated within the regulated area and Regional Storm flood plain of the East Don River
tributary. A permit application pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 was approved at
Executive Committee Meeting #11/07, held on January 18, 2008. The permit is being held in
abeyance until outstanding technical requirements have been 'adequately addressed and the
conditions of permanent easement approval have been satisfied.
A temporary working easement will not be required as part of the proposed construction.
The subject TRCA lands were acquired from Midvale Estates Inc. on March 30, 2007 under the
Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010.
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.
A plan illustrating the permanent easement location is attached.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The City of Vaughan has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in
completing this transaction.

behalf of HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN in right of Ontario as represented by the Minister of
Public Infrastructure Renewal;
THAT the ground lease be subject to terms and conditions satisfactory to TRCA and its
solicitors;
AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take such action as is
necessary to implement the ground lease including the execution and signing of
documents.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #1 /05, held on February 25, 2005, Resolution #A6/05 was approved as
follows:
THAT the management plan be developed in consultation with all stakeholders including
the Town of Richmond Hill, Region of York, Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation, interested
landowners and various public interest groups;
THAT staff be directed to seek avenues for funding assistance to implement the
completion and recommendations of the management plan, including making
application to the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation;
AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Authority on the status of the development
of the management plan and its implementation.
On September 23, 2004, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing announced that the
Province of Ontario and certain landowners on the Oak Ridges Moraine in the Town of
Richmond Hill had reached an agreement to exchange lands. The purpose of the land
exchange was to protect the last remaining natural corridor link between the eastern and
western parts of the Oak Ridges Moraine in. Richmond.Hill. Under the agreement, 1,057 'acres
(428 hectares) of land in Richmond Hill would come into public ownership (Attachment 1). In a
letter dated February 9, 2005, the province requested TRCA to act as the province's agent in the
creation of an environmental management plan, including the construction of a primary trail
(spine trail) funded by the $3.5 million made available through the agreement with the
landowners, and that TRCA enter into a management agreement with the province.
118
The province did not complete the and exchange until August, 2007. Through various
agreements with the province, the landowners and TRCA, TRCA was able to proceed with the
completion of the Oak Ridges Corridor Park Management Plan, approved at Authority Meeting
#8/06, held on October 27, 2006, and the construction of the spine trail. Furthermore, .through
agreements with Mattamy Homes, TRCA assumed the operation of the Bathurst Glen Golf Club.
Since 2006, the province has held discussions with TRCA staff about management of the lands.
In November, 2007, Ontario Realty Corporation (ORC) suggested that TRCA enter into a
ground lease for the management of the Oak Ridges Corridor Park in accordance with the
approved management plan.. ORC is recommending a ground lease as opposed to a
management agreement primarily as a mechanism to allow TRCA to retain the net revenues
from the golf course operation and use those revenues for park operations.
Terms and conditions of the ground lease will reflect the following:
1. The operation of the park must be cost neutral to TRCA; TRCA will use net revenues from
the Bathurst Glen Golf Course to operate the park and the province will be responsible for
any shortfall in revenues.
2. The historic buildings on the site will be part of the ground lease and the province will be
responsible for all costs associated with preservation, protection and restoration of these
sites.
3. Property taxes for the Bathurst Glen Golf Course will be part of the costs of operating the
golf course; property taxes on the balance of the lands will be the responsibility of the .
province.
4. Term of the lease will be 20 years, although consideration is being given to having certain
parcels where extensive.tree planting will occur having up to 50 years to enable
participation in carbon credits programs.
.5. TRCA will provide the province with annual budgets and financial statements.
6. TRCA will provide insurance on the leased lands including third party pollution coverage.
7. There will be a termination clause enabling either side to cancel on reasonable notice,
probably at least 6 months.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff is in negotiation with provincial officials to complete the ground lease. Other stakeholders,
including the Town of Richmond Hill, will be consulted regarding some aspects of the
management agreement.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
• The ground lease is to have no direct cost to TRCA. It is in TRCA's interest to manage the
ground lease and see the park developed successfully. There will be staff resources involved
which will not be fully recovered.
119
Capital funding for the restoration of the lands and trail development is available under the
terms of the provincial contribution agreement. A total of $3.5 million is planned to be spent
over about 5 years.

SECURITY SERVICES FOR TORONTO AND REGION
CONSERVATION AUTHORITY FACILITIES
Award of Contract. Recommends award of contract for Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority's security services to other than lowest
bidder.
Suzan Hall
Maja Prentice
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT a contract to provide security
services for 5 Shoreham Drive, Black Creek Pioneer Village and other Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) facilities be awarded to Reilly's Security Services, at the
unit prices described in this report dated March 31, 2008, this bid being the preferred bid
that met TRCA specifications.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Approximately every three years, TRCA staff initiate a request for tender for provision of security
services for various TRCA facilities, particularly Black Creek Pioneer Village (BCPV) and 5
Shoreham Drive. The tender is sent to companies that have demonstrated capacity to provide
the required services.
The factors to be considered with respect to the type and level of service required were
stipulated in the request for proposals; specifically, the following areas of interest were
identified:
1) Hours of Service
Security services will be supplied 7 days per week, 52 Weeks per year, 16 hours per day,
from 1600 hours to 0800 hours. The services will be shared between Head Office and Black
Creek Pioneer Village.
2) Insurance and Licensing
Security firm licensing, insurance, Workplace Safety Insurance Board (WSIB) and
compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act are required.
3) Quality of Service
All officers will be required to be physically fit, experienced, seasoned officers, preferably
with a community college law and security accreditation. All officers shall be bonded and
licensed under the Private Security and Investigative Services Act (PSISA).
4) Other Required Services
a) Alarm response to other TRCA locations on a fee for service basis in addition to the
base cost of the primary contracted service quoted. •
122
b) The proposal will include at no additional charge:
• the provision of a computerized guard tour system; and
• alarm response to both named facilities and components thereof, 24 hours per day,
7 days per week.
5) Value Added Services
Proponents were given the opportunity to identify 'value added services' which they wish to
add at no additional cost beyond the stipulated requirements.
6) Price and Period of Service
The successful security provider shall enter into a contractual relationship with TRCA
acceptable to staff for a period of three years. Service can be cancelled by TRCA on 30
days written notice.
RATIONALE
The opportunity to submit proposals for the three year contract, including 10 statutory holidays
annually, was given to five security firms. For purposes of comparison, the three year value of
each bid was calculated based on the anticipated number of hours of service provided.
Because the actual hours to be worked are unknown, the contract is awarded on an hourly unit
pricing structure.
The firms and their bids for the term of service are:
G4S Security Services Canada Ltd.
Reilly's Security Services
Garda Security
Knights on Guard Protective Services
Intercon Security Ltd.
$ 369,931.52
$ 396,283.20
$ 402,472.16
$ 474,455.00
No submission
The above quoted fees do not include additional taxes.
Staff has recommended that the contract be awarded to Reilly's Security Services for the
following reasons:
1. The price differential between the two lowest bidders over 3 years is modest at $26,352.
Reilly's bid provides a ,1% discount for invoices paid within 30 days. As this is TRCA's
normal procedure, the differential will be reduced to less than $24,000, or about $8,000
annually.
2. Reilly's is the current provider of security services. They have provided excellent service
over the term of the previous contract. Their staff is familiar with TRCA facilities, especially
BCPV, which sometimes has difficult security issues.
3. There is a cost to transition to a new provider. TRCA staff time to initiate new security
guards and procedures will certainly exceed the estimated $24,000 in savings over three
years.
4. Reilly's. offered a number of 'value added' services at no additional charge including:
security procedures arid equipment audits; staff safety and security training sessions.
123
5. Reilly's has existing authority from Toronto Police Services to issue parking tickets at 5
Shoreham and BCPV. The process for a new provider to secure this designation will be
time consuming.
6. Reilly's offers the option of K9 service which was not included in the tender but may be
required. The low bidder does not have this service.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The total cost of the Reilly's tender over three years is described above. The contract will be
awarded on the basis of the hourly unit costs as follows:
Funds for the 2008 expenditure are included in the respective facility operating budgets:

on the property owned by Pickering -Brock Centre Inc.. The purpose is to erect a
structure, undertake site grading and permanently place fill material within a
Regulated Area in order to construct a retail development.
The permit will be issued for the period of April 11, 2008 to April 10, 2010 in accordance with
the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
• Drawing ER -101, Construction Management and Erosion /Sediment Control Plan,
prepared by Sernas Associates, dated August, 2007, received by TRCA on October 26,
2007;
• Email Correspondence from Mr. Peter Warnica, C.E.T., dated March 20, 2008,
confirming that site preparation works will not reduce Regional Flood Plain storage
capacity on the site during interim phases of construction.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The applicant seeks permission to erect a structure, undertake site grading and permanently
place fill material within a Regulated Area in order to construct a retail development. The
proposed development is to consist oflarge format retail stores, parking areas and a
stormwater management pond. The subject lands are located north of the Pickering Design
Centre plaza, east of Brock Road and north of Highway 401 and are separated from. the Duffins
Creek valleylands by the Notion Road industrial area. The subject lands are currently vacant.
Portions of the lands are vegetated with low quality or invasive trees and other vegetation.
Presently, the majority of the site is located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain with flood
'depths of up to 2 metres of flooding. The flood plain at this point extends approximately 800
metres west from the Duffins Creek. Despite the flood hazard present.on the site, the lands are
designated for retail development by.the City of Pickering and Region of Durham Official Plans.
Staff have evaluated the flood risk, and the proposed management of the flood plain, and are
satisfied that the site can be safely developed in accordance with the policies and criteria
established by TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.
This proposal would be the first of two permits. This first permit would allow the owner to begin
initial site grading works subject to an approved sediment - _and erosion control plan. A second
permit application will be made and brought forward for approval once the detailed design of
the development has been finalized. City of Pickering staff have indicated in writing that they
will support the flood plain management requirements of TRCA as the project moves forward to
the detailed design stage. The City of Pickering is to hold a Letter of Credit to ensure that the
grading works and site topography will maintain the required flood plain storage should the
project not proceed to completion.
132
Control of Flooding:
As noted above, the majority of the site is located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain with
flood depths of up to 2 metres of flooding. In order to safely develop the site it must be
'floodproofed' by placing fill on the site to raise it above the elevation of the flood plain. In most
circumstances, TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program policies do not
permit new development on lands susceptible to flooding. However, development may be
permitted in circumstances where: the flood plain is considered to be unusually wide, the
depths of flooding are shallow and flooding is infrequent. In addition, the applicant was
required to prepare a Flood Plain Management Report. This report evaluated the flood plain
characteristics and demonstrated to the satisfaction of TRCA staff that two key criteria could be
met: 1) That there will be no upstream or downstream impacts to the control of flooding as a
result of changes to flood storage and conveyance characteristics; and, 2) That the proposed
amount of fill on the site within the flood plain will be offset by a corresponding cut (or
depression). Careful evaluation of the existing flood plain characteristics, the required Flood
Management-Report and the proposed development design, has satisfied TRCA staff that the
criteria noted above have been met.
Pollution:
A sediment and erosion control plan has been submitted as part of this proposal in order to
prevent the transportation of sediment off site.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical or slope stability issues associated with this proposal.
Conservation of Land:

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 was
previously approved under CFN 39297. The currently proposed works are for the construction
of the Headworks Complex directly north of the Liquid Module site, and include the following:
• Construction of the Headworks Building; covered aerated grit tanks, bidfilter, tank clean -out
drain pad, transformers and new road and parking.
Further design details will bereviewed 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.

to work with the TRCA to design and construct the new wetland and berrning 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, 39297 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. This was plan recently completed and
brought forward for approval to Authority Meeting #2/08, held on March 28, 2008, with the
following recommendation: •
THAT the York Durham Water Pollution Control Plant Greening and Biodiversity Plan be
approved;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to assist the Region of Durham and Region of York with
the implementation of the Duffins Water Pollution Control Plant Greening and Biodkiersity Plan.
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

Kirby Road; on the east side of Kipling Avenue. A tributary of the Humber River is located to the
east. The subject lands are surrounded by agricultural lands (east, north and south). A portion
of the subdivision lands (eastern lot) is located within the TRCA's Regulated Area for the
Humber River.
During the associated draft plan of subdivision processt the limits of the natural features on site
including the physical top of bank and Regional Storm-Flood Plain were identified and
delineated on the draft plan. A 10 metre buffer has been provided on the eastern boundary of
the subject lands. These lands including those below top of bank and in the Regional Storm
Rood Plain have been re -zoned into an appropriate open space category and will be conveyed
into public ownership (TRCA) as part of the registration of the subdivision.

A stormwater outlet is to be constructed at the southeast corner of the subject lands. This
outlet, which is located outside of the aforementioned buffer area, will convey treated storm
runoff to a tributary of the Humber River. In addition, the proposed works involve site grading
associated with the development of a single - family estate residence on the easternmost lot in
the subdivision. The proposed residence will be located entirely on the tableland portion of the
site, away from the buffer and valley corridor areas.

Proposal: .
The purpose of this project is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Etobicoke Creek Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a second residential
condominium building with 29 storeys and 224 units. A residential condominium building and
parking facility currently exist on the subject property. The proposed works are located on the
existing parking lot. The west side of the subject property is Iodated immediately adjacent to
Norton Park Place, owned by the City of Brampton. This park has been identified as a 'target
area' for natural cover enhancement through TRCA's Terrestrial Natural Heritage System
Strategy (TNHSS). Recognizing the recommended natural cover enhancement for this area,
the TRCA has existing Habitat Implementation Plans (HIPs) in place for North Park Place to help
achieve TRCA's natural cover targets for the Etobicoke Creek Watershed as established by the .
Etobicoke and Mimico Creek Watershed Report Card (2006). Given the above noted targets
and the opportunities through this project, as an element of this proposal, extensive,
naturalization of the valley land corridor portion of the subject property and the abutting Norton
Park Place has been incorporated into the design of this project. All proposed plant species
are native and non - invasive, consistent with TRCA's guidelines. The proposed works are
located on the tableland portion of the site and are sufficiently setback from the adjacent natural
area and are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain.
The proposed works require an amendment to the Zoning By -law in order to permit the
proposed development. As an element of this application,.the valley corridor portion of the
subject property (including a 10 metre buffer area) will be formally recognized and protected to
prohibit development and /or alterations and will be placed into an 'appropriate zoning category
(i.e., Hazard Land / Open Space). In addition, the applicant has agreed to enter into an
agreement with the City of Brampton in regard to the public ownership of the valley corridor
portion of the site.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no
impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated.

183
Proposal:
This permit application is the third of three pertaining to development on the subject property.
Previous permits were considered and approved by the TRCA Executive Committee for site
remediation works, as well as the construction of foundations (approved by the Executive
Committee at the December 7, 2007 Executive Committee meeting) associated with the
development of this site, and construction of this building. Separate permits were brought
forward for this development to allow for phasing of the works while the necessary approvals
were being attained from the Province and 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 require 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. On December 7, 2007 a permit for the construction of the
foundation of the building was approved by the Executive.Committee; and issued on March 18,
2008, subsequent to the resolution of outstanding TRCA issues.
As noted in the previous permit reports, TRCA staff are satisfied, based upon the extension
process that has been completed, and the materials submitted to date, that the proposed
building meets TRCA's floodproofing requirements•for development within a Special Policy
Area. Confirmation has similarly been provided by the. Province and the City of Brampton that
their requirements have also been satisfied.'On this basis, staff are now in position to
recommend the final approval of this building and associated development, which are the
subject of this permit.
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 site1remediated.

• RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
195
Proposal:
The purpose is to construct an addition of approximately 810 square metres to an existing one
storey industrial building. At the time of the approval of the existing industrial building in 2000,
the subject property was identified as a Fill Line Extension area under TRCA mapping, as such
no permits under the previous Regulation (Ontario Regulation 158) were required. In addition,
no floodplain mapping data was available for.the subject area at the time. More recent flood
plain mapping has revealed that the subject property is prone to flooding during a Regional
and a 100 year event.
The proposed addition represents an increase of 46% of the current floor area of the existing
building which is within the 50% maximum allowed by the Authority's Valley and Stream
Corridor Management Program (VSCMP). In addition to the proposed expansion, the
landowner is also proposing to construct a gabion structure within the subject property in order
to facilitate a driveway. The proposed gabion structure is above an existing gabion wall and is
located further away from the watercourse than the existing wall. Additionally, no instream
works are required for the construction of the proposed gabion wall.
According to the hydraulic modelling of the West Don dated August 2006, the subject property
and proposed location for the•expansion are within Regional and 100 year flood plains. Due to
the configuration of the site, existing paved areas and the industrial nature of the area, a buffer'
between the developed area and the adjacent watercourse cannot be achieved. The
watercourse adjacent to the subject property was highly altered and channelized during the
draft plan of subdivision process, as such, the watercourse does not provide a significant
ecological function.
Through the Site Plan Approval process (Site Plan Approval application DA.06.027), a reduction
in the buffer was approved subject to the implementation of satisfactory floodproofing
measures, satisfactory erosion and sediment control measures, and compensation provided by
the applicant for planting restoration offsite at a more appropriate location within the Don River
Watershed. Due to the configuration of the existing structure and the requirements of the
industrial operation to maintain a consistent floor elevation, 'dry protection' level of
floodproofing is not achievable for the addition; as a result, the proposal focuses on achieving
'wet protection' consistent with Section 4.2.2 C) 3) ii) of the VSCMP.
As part of this permit, precautions have been taken to reduce risks associated with potential
flooding. Additionally, Keewatin Group Ltd. engineers have confirmed that existing and
proposed structures can withstand a Regional.storm and the structural integrity will not be
compromised.
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 watersland that the precautions taken are
satisfactory because they do not increase the risk to property damage.
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained during the construction of the
addition and gabion basket retaining wall to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent
watercourse.
196
Inamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical issues associated with this application.
Conservation of Land:
The adjacent watercourse is already highly altered, does not currently support any sensitive
species and 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
Through the Site Plan Approval process, compensation for a net loss of riparian
plantings has been obtained to allow TRCA to restore other portions of the watershed.
All other disturbed areas are to be restored to their existing vegetated condition and will
not affect any•significant natural feature.

Proposal:
The proposal is to construct a structure, conduct site grading, temporarily or permanently
place, dump or remove any material within a Regulated Area and to alter a tributary of the Don
River, in order to construct a stormwater management pond and an associated outfall, to
facilitate the servicing of a proposed residential subdivision, located on the southeast corner of
Dufferin Street and Rutherford Road, in Planning Block 10. (Langstaff Woods), in the City of .
.Vaughan.
Planning Block 10 is bounded by Highway 7.to the south, Dufferin Street to the west, Rutherford
Road to the north and to the east by Bathurst Street. The subject property, which is
approximately 26.4 ha (65.2 ac) in size, is bounded to the south and east by two existing
residential subdivisions. The proposed stormwater facility will service the surrounding lands
which are part of a draft approved plan of subdivision (19T- 05V06).
Block 10 has an approved Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) in place. However, the
original owner of the subject lands was a non - particpating landowner during the Block 10
MESP process. The proposed pond and outfall will be located adjacent to a valley open space
corridor, along Rutherford Road. The limits of the open space block were previously identified
and delineated during the associated draft plan of subdivision process.
The proposed subdivision along with the pond / outfall are located within the Settlement Area
land use designation under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP). Given that
the nearby watercourse is a hydrologically sensitive feature on the Oak Ridges Moraine,
measures have been included in the pond's design to minimize the impacts associated with the
discharge of stormwater runoff into this feature. These measures include a bottom draw pipe, a
cooling trench and a planting strategy to.promote shading along the pond perimeter.
This permit application for servicing.fulfills a condition of draft approval issued by TRCA staff.
TRCA staff has received and reviewed detailed technical submissions relating to the proposed
works and has provided comments to the agent, Valdor Engineering. At this time, minor issues
relating to the design of the outfall and landscaping are being addressed and TRCA technical
staff is confident that these issues can be resolved in a timely manner. These issues in no way
affect the location of the proposed works which were determined during the draft plan approval
stage. The permit will not be released until such time as these issues are resolved.
Control of Flooding: .
The proposed stormwater pond is located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Don
River: Technical staff at the TRCA has reviewed technical submissions for the proposed storm
outfall structure located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and is satisfied that the o.utfall will
not affect the storage or conveyance of.flood waters.

technical staff is confident that these issues can be resolved in a timely manner.
Additionally, due to the length of the proposed culvert extension, authorization from Fisheries
and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be required. The permit will not be released until such time as
these aforementioned TRCA issues are resolved and authorization from DFO is issued.
Control of Flooding:
TRCA technical staff has reviewed floodline modelling for the proposed culvert extension and is
satisfied that the proposed works will not impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Sediment control measures including fencing will be installed prior to the initiation of
construction and maintained for the. duration of the works to ensure that sediment does not
enter the watercourse.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
Erosion will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned sediment control
measures. There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed
works.
Conservation of Land:
Given the length of the proposed culvert and the nature of the works, an authorization from
DFO will be required. The subject permit will not be issued until this authorization is issued.
Plantings
No vegetation will be removed as part of the proposed works. However, plantings of
native material will be carried out along the edge of the valley, in accordance with the
TRCA's Planting Guidelines. 0
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the TRCA's Valley and
Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose is to construct a replacement dwelling and garage and place fill within a
Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed desigfated by the Province as a Special Policy
Area. The proposal is partially.located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and entirely within
the Woodbridge Special Policy Area (SPA). The existing dwelling is located outside of the
Regional Storm Rood Plain and the siting of the proposed dwelling occupies the majority of the
footprint of the existing dwelling; however, in order to accommodate the proposed dwelling a
limited amount of fill material is required to expand the buildable area outside of the flood plain.
205
In addition, flood proofing measures have been implemented in the design of the dwelling
where no filling is proposed to ensure the structure is floodproofed to the Regional event,
consistent with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program ( VSCMP).
All openings within the proposed dwelling are above 145.47 metres above sea level (rn.a.s.I.)
which is the Regional Storm Flood elevation of 145.17 m.a.s.l. plus 0.3 metres freeboard.
Due to the existing driveway configuration and topography of the site, it is not technically
feasible to floodproof the replacement garage structure. As the existing garage is already within
the Regional Storm Flood Plain, TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed replacement garage
does not increase the risk to life and property and is consistent with VSCMP policies for SPAs.
A direct internal connection from the proposed garage to the basement of the proposed
floodproofed home is not permitted.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are partially 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 and appropriate floodproofing
measures have been implemented in the design of the replacement dwelling. As the existing
garage to be replaced is already within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, .a replacement garage
within the Regional Storm Flood Plain will not increase the risk to life or property.
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained during construction to prevent
sediment from migrating onto neighbouring properties.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that proposed development will not have an adverse
impact on the adjacent valley wall.
Conservation of Land:
As a 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.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.1 B) - Development / Redevelopment within
Designated Two Zone-Areas or Special Policy Areas - of the Authority's Valley and Stream
Corridor Management Program.

overall plans to be developed and submitted at 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. At this location, the existing channel crosses York Region's
existing sanitary sewer in four locations. York Region and the Town of Markham have
collaborated to develop a design that will mitigate bed and bank scouring associated with the
weir, protect existing sewer infrastructure and enhance aquatic habitat and fish passage and be
in keeping with the overall objectives of the Class EA Study.
Proposed Works
The proposed works include raising the channel bed, stabilization and enhancement 'of the bed
morphology to discourage future degradation and lateral adjustments and slight realignment of
the bankfull channel (within the high flow channel) away from the existing sanitary sewer. No •
explicit infrastructure protection for the sanitary sewer is required to substantially reduce risks at
this site as protection of the sewer and manholes. is intended to be achieved through the overall
channel design. 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.
217
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 control measures (silt /sediment fencing, rock flow check dam) 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
Wetland/watercourse.

. The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
220
Proposal:
The applicant seeks permission to undertake site grading, permanently place fill material and
alter a watercourse in order to establish a new industrial /employment plan of subdivision. The
proposed pond is located on the east side of the Berczy Creek valleylands and is required to
service lands in the northwest quadrant of th'e community of Gormley within the Town of
Whitchurch- Stouffville. The proposed pond design contains an outfall structure and emergency
spillway, which discharge to the Berczy Creek. The outfall will contain a plunge pool and level
spreader in order to disperse the discharge of stormwater from the pond. The location of the
pond and the outlet was previously approved in principle by TRCA staff during review of the
associated draft plan of subdivision application (File No. 19T- 89032). The proposal is
consistent with Section 4.3 A 3) of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program
(VSCMP) wherein outfalls and stormwater management facilities are permitted in valley and
stream corridors.
Control of Flooding:
Portions of the pond outfall structure and pond will be located within the Regional Storm Flood
Plain. The pond has been designed to safely convey flood flows and will not affect the control
of flooding.
Pollution:
Erosion and sediment controls will be erected prior to the initiation of construction and will be
maintained for the duration of works to ensure that sediment does not enter the nearby valley
system and watercourse.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical or slope stability. concerns with this proposal. The stormwater
management pond has been designed to detain and control the discharge of stormwater
run -off within the plan of subdivision area in order to prevent increased erosion within the
Berczy Creek system.
Conservation of Land:
The pond has been sited away from any existing natural, self- sustaining vegetation with an
adequate buffer from the Berczy Creek itself: There are no in -water works proposed as part of
this application. Staff will issue a Letter of Advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada
(DFO) with this permit, since DFO Authorization pursuant to the Fisheries Act (Canada) is not
required. All disturbed areas are to be stabilized and planted following construction.
Plantings
Planting plans providing for the restoration and enhancement of the pond and
valleyland edge with plantings of native trees and shrubs have been prepared as part of
this proposal.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of TRCA's Valley and
Stream Corridor Management Program.

The permit will be issued for the period of April 11, 2008 to April 10, 2010 in accordance with
the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
• Letter from Hydro One Networks - to fulfill all TRCA requirements, dated April 2, 2008,
received April 4, 2008.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The Bridgepoint Health Centre (former Riverdale Hospital) is located north of Gerrard Street
East, west of Broadview Avenue, south of Riverdale Park and east of the Don Valley Parkway in
the City of Toronto. As part of the comprehensive redevelopment of the Health Centre, Hydro
One will be relocating approximately 200 metres of its hydro duct on the west side of the site
near the top of the remnant valley bank above the Don Valley Parkway. The relocation and
installation of two new manholes within the Regulated Area is necessary to allow for the
development of a new pedestrian walkway, access road and hospital buildings on the west side
of the site. TRCA staff has been involved in the comprehensive review of the various planning
applications required to facilitate the redevelopment and are satisfied that the design of the
redevelopment will result in greater public access to the Don Valley trail system as well as an
increase in the overall density of native plantings in the area. The existing site is highly
urbanized with a surface parking over the existing hydro duct located at or near the top of bank.
This parking will be replaced by a multi - purpose trail, reconstructed stable top of bank and
native landscaping and will be subject to an additional TRCA permitting process in the coming
years. The redevelopment has been secured through /approved zoning permissions and will be
further ensured through Site Plan Agreement.
241
Conditional Approval:
TRCA staff have met with all proponents and City of Toronto representatives to coordinate the
conceptual approval of the project masterplan including approval in principle of the Hydro One .
•duct relocation. Hydro One,will be combining the duct relocation work with its planned
replacement of 1.8 km of hydro cable through an existing spare hydro duct. Hydro has
informed Bridgepoint Health and TRCA staff that this work must take place beginning May 5, •
2008 in order to avoid peak loads and allow for staged electricity disruption downtown during
periods of low demand. TRCA staff and City of Toronto Urban Forestry staff are generally
satisfied with the proposal but have not had a chance to confirm the final details. As such, staff
is requesting permission from the Executive Committee .to allow staff to approve the issuance of
the Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit for this project subject to Hydro One receiving
confirmation from • Bridgepoint Health that the location of the duct is acceptable, confirmation
from a geotechnical engineer that the proposal will not have an impact on slope stability either
during or after construction, and confirmation from City of Toronto Urban Forestry that the
proposed vegetation removals-and restoration plan is acceptable.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed duct relocation is not located within a Regional Storm Floodplain. Excavation
pits for the new cable are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain but grades will be
returned to existing and there will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters.
Pollution:
Temporary sediment control will be provided. The work site is located well away from the Don
River.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
The proposal will have no impact on erosion to the watercourse. A letter from a Geotechnical
Engineer will be provided confirming that the duct relocation will have no impact on slope
stability either during or after construction.
Conservation of Land:
The site is currently urbanized and there will be no impact on significant vegetation.
Plantings
Approximately 28 small diameter non- native trees, and 2 elm trees will need to be
removed as part of the project. The permit will not, be issued until such time as the City
of Toronto's Urban Forestry.staff are satisfied with the proposed native tree and shrub .
restoration program. Additional restoration plantings will be installed above the
relocated hydro duct upon redevelopment of the hospital site.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is in conformity with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and'Servicing - of the TRCA's

property owned by South Fields Community Inc.. The purpose is to undertake
works within a Regulated area in order to facilitate site grading and site
preparation works and the construction of temporary stormwater ponds and
outfalls associated with a new residential subdivision.
The permit will be issued for the period of April 11, 2008 to April 10, 2010 in accordance with
the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
• Letter of undertaking provided by Jennifer Cappola - Logullo, David Schaeffer
Engineering Limited, dated April 9, 2008,,to address all 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 to facilitate initial site preparation and temporary stormwater
management works associated with a proposed residential subdivision on the subject property.
The subject property is located east of Kennedy Road, north of Mayfield Road in the Mayfield
West (South Fields) community in the Town of Caledon. Four plans of subdivision within this
community, all located north of Mayfield Road east of Kennedy Road, were draft.approved by
the Ontario Municipal, Board earlier this year. TRCA staff participated in a number of •
discussions outside of the formal hearing, and were successful in attaining conditions of
approval that were agreeable to all parties. Both the. Town of Caledon. and the proponents have
expressed their desire to move quickly through the approval process for these subdivisions. In
this regard, the proponent is presently seeking permission from the Town of Caledon to
complete site grading and preparation works on portions of the southern two plans of
subdivision (located directly north of the proposed Highway 410 extension). These
subdivisions (under common ownership) are traversed by headwater tributaries (Tributary 18
and 19, as identified in the Master Environmental Servriring Plan) of Etobicoke Creek. As
discussions are underway with TRCA staff regarding the long -term treatment of these features
in the context of net gain and overall enhancement opportunities, alteration of these features is.
not included in this permit, and will be subject to a separate future permit,'which will also
include the proposed permanent stormwater management outfalls and works. At this time,
permission is being sought for: grading and servicing works within the associated regulated
243
areas (outside of the watercourse features); access across the northerly headwater tributary,
(which bisects the subject property) to gain access for servicing of the lands to the north within
this phase; and, for the temporary stormwater management ponds and outfalls, should it'be
determined upon submission of the final drawings, that a permit would be required for these
works.
TRCA staff are continuing discussions with the proponents to refine the scope and design of
the proposed works, to ensure that they meet TRCA's requirements. Although it is anticipated
that there will be additional modifications to the drawings associated with this permit prior to
issuance, TRCA staff are satisfied that the remaining items can be addressed in the near future.
Due to the required timelines for this project, the works identified under this permit must

RYERSON UNIVERSITY
Memorandum of Agreement. Approval to enter into negotiations with
Ryerson University to develop a strategic partnership that enhances
post - secondary educational opportunities and research into innovative
sustainable technologies at The Living City Campus at Kortright.
Colleen Jordan
Suzan Hall
WHEREAS the vision for The Living City Campus at Kortright includes the development of
a post- secondary sustainable technologies education and research centre;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT staff be directed to negotiate an agreement with
Ryerson University to further the development of a strategic education and research
partnership around innovative sustainable technologies at The Living City Campus at
Kortright;
THAT the agreement be on terms and conditions satisfactory to Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff and solicitors;
AND FURTHER THAT any agreement be subject to Authority approval.
CARRID.
BACKGROUND
In 2005, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) started a process to define a vision
and concept plan for the Kortright Centre for Conservation. After several internal and one
external stakeholder meetings, a consensus of a draft vision emerged that affirmed the.need to
develop an education, demonstration and research partnership that would support and
accelerate the sustainability agenda.
With assistance from Urban Strategies Inc., key TRCA staff and external stakeholders like the
Humber Watershed Alliance refined the concept and vision as The Living City Campus at
Kortright. The Living City Campus at Kortright vision plan was presented_at a public meeting in
February.of 2008 and was approved at Authority Meeting #2/08, held on March 28, 2008 by
amended resolution #A45/08 as follows:
THAT the plan dated March, 2008 for The Living City Campus at the Kortright Centre for
Conservation, as illustrated in Attachment 1, be approved;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to:
• adopt 'The Living City Campus at Kortright' name and begin.branding the title on
signs and in future marketing and communications materials;
• seek funding sources and partners to implement the vision plan;
• have further public consultation ors the need, design and other related issues
regarding the The Meeting Place building (conference centre or adult education
centre), before that component is implemented;
• have further study and public consultation on the ,installation of wind turbines to
ensure noise pollution and injury to birds is avoided, before that component is
implemented;
249
• recruit new members to participate on a community stewardship committee
consisting of interested citizens, interest groups and organizations to help TRCA with
detailed planning, management and implementation of the Boyd North and Glassco
Park Management Plan and implementation of The Living City Campus at Kortright
vision;
• bring a business plan to the Authority on each component of the vision.
The vision and goals for The Living City Campus at Kortright state:
Vision: The vision for The Living City Campus at Kortright aims to inspire, support and monitor
change toward sustainable living, leading the way toward sustainable development
and the use of sustainable technologies through practice, education and market
transformation.
Goals:
• to instill an appreciation and understanding of the interrelationships in and between healthy
ecological systems and our lifestyles;
• to develop relevant and innovative demonstrations and programs that..inspire people to
adopt sustainable practices and technologies;
• to motivate, and support individuals, organizations, government and businesses to pursue
sustainable actions and to celebrate their successes; and
• to foster on -site research collaborative with academics, business, and government that
supports sustainable living issues.
The research goal of the vision is a natural extension to Kortright's leading role in
demonstrating leading edge sustainable technologies. In order to accelerate the sustainability
agenda, research is needed to develop new technological opportunities but also to provide
credible monitoring and evaluation that provides the scientific rigor respected by business,
government and the community.
The cornerstones to successfully developing the research component of the vision is to initiate
a partnership with a highly respected post- secondary institution that has experience and
complimentary aspirations around the development and verification of sustainable
technologies.
Over the past 4 years several departments at Ryerson University have partnered with TRCA on
a variety of sustainability.projects, including the.latest effort that produced an evaluation tool to
select the heating systems for the Archetype Sustainable House. TRCA currently has a general
Memorandum of Understanding with Ryerson University to work together on sustainability
issues. Ryerson University has expressed an interest in working more closely with TRCA and
other post secondary institutions, especially colleges, in a collaborative effort to. facilitate the
research and development of new sustainable technologies.
250
These negotiations are to formalize this partnership and lay the ground work for more concrete
opportunities that would see the creation of a Sustainable Technologies Education and
Research Centre at The Living City Campus at Kortright. Staff will develop a business case to
assess the feasibility of this partnership prior to reporting back on an.agreement.

THAT the consulting firm of Montgomery Sisam be retained to complete the Tommy
Thompson Park (TTP) Infrastructure Design Project at a total cost not to exceed $148,150
plus applicable taxes.
AND FURTHER THAT authorized Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
officials be directed to take such action as is necessary to implement the contract,
including the signing and.execution of documents.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Tommy Thompson Park (TTP) (also known as the Leslie Street Spit) has been under
construction using landfill from operations in the Greater Toronto Area since the early 1950's.
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) currently owns 247 hectares of this
peninsula, which extends 5 kilometres into Lake Ontario. Other areas still under construction
will be transferred to TRCA upon the completion of lake filling activities. TTP is a unique natural
area which has been formally designated as an "Important Bird Area" (IBA) of global
significance by Birdlife International. It comprises a large portion of the North Shore
Environmentally Significant Area (ESA).
Tommy Thompson Park has also established itself as a unique place for a variety of human
activities, attracting well over 300,000 visitors a year. These users only access the park on
weekends and holidays, and represent a very. broad range of park users including
birdwatchers, naturalists, cyclists, in -line skaters, pleasure walkers, joggers, researchers and.
students.
252
The master plan for Tommy Thompson Park was completed in 1989 and then revised in 1992
through the Minister of the Environment's approval under the Environmental Assessment Act.
The park is operated under the Interim Management Program in accordance with the delegated
responsibilities given to TRCA by the Province of Ontario.
Until recently, very limited funding has been provided toward the implementation of the master
plan. Instead, the vision for the park has been partially realized through funds directed to the
Interim Management Program and through partnered habitat creation and.enhancement
projects. While adhering to its primary goal of preserving and creating a unique, car free urban
wilderness, Tommy Thompson Park has the potential to,better accommodate its users, and to
provide a more attractive and inviting fagade to the arriving public, as well as encouraging the
public to better understand the uniqueness of this urban wilderness park.
With the recent renewal of interest in the City of Toronto's waterfront, numerous waterfront plans
and strategies have emerged, most notably planning for the Lake Ontario Park by Toronto
Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC). Lake Ontario Park will create a unified,
inter - connected ensemble of diverse landscapes along an extensive Lakeshore waterfront. It
links together a mix of locations, communities and territories along the waterfront. Lake Ontario
Park will be a powerfully unique place, a 'big nature' parkland with remarkably vast and
distinctive landscapes of great ecological, cultural and scenic potential. TTP is a significant
feature within Lake Ontario Park and as such integration of the Lake Ontario Park planning
process into the discussion and design of the TTP infrastructure is critical.
TWRC is providing the funding necessary to implement the first phase of the Tommy
Thompson Park Master Plan. A requirement of this funding is for consulting assignments to
present and discuss their concepts and designs with TWRC and their design consultant for
Lake Ontario Park and the Design Review Panel implemented by TWRC. This will be
accommodated within the scope of work for this project.
A Terms of Reference (TOR) and a Request for Proposal (RFP) were distributed to the following
consulting firms:
• Oleson Worland Architect
•_ Baird Sampson Neuert Architects - Jon Neuert
• Brown and Storey Architects
• HOK Canada — Richard Williams
• Gordon Cheney
• Christine Wood Architect "
• Montgomery Sisam Architects
• PLANT Architect Inc.
Invited consultants were required to submit proposals outlining a detailed work plan, budget
and work schedule to develop the following:
a) Designs, specifications, construction drawings and. permits for the construction of the
five infrastructure components, as they relate to the proposed operational and functional
uses of the site.
253
b) Conceptual sketches and plans for future site features, including seating, signage,
interpretive features and fencing.
Specifically there are six components included in this project:
1. a serviced park entranceway and Shuttle Bus turn around kiosk;
2. a serviced Staff Booth /Interpretive Area at the neck of the Spit;
3. Environmental Shelter with off-line washroom facilities;
4. two remote off-line washroom buildings;
5. an off-line Ecological Research Station building; and
6. park infrastructure features including seating, signage, interpretive features, fencing and
other features as required.
.Four proposals were received by March 28, 2008 with bids as follows:
• BIDDER
AMOUNT (PLUS GST)
Oleson Worland Architects
$138,300
Montgomery Sisam
$148,150

RATIONALE
While adhering to its primary goal of preserving and creating a unique,' car free.urban
wilderness, Tommy Thompson Park has the potential to better accommodate its users . and to
provide a-more attractive and inviting facade to the arriving public, as well as encouraging the
public to better understand the uniqueness of this urban wilderness park.
The four proposals were reviewed by the selection committee made up of the TRCA and TWRC
management and supervisory staff that are responsible for Tommy Thompson Park
implementation and Lake Ontario Park planning. The proposals were evaluated by the •
committee on April 3, 2008, using the following criteria:
• clear understanding of project objectives and scope of work;
• knowledge of the site and the waterfront context;
• qualification of the firms and design of comparable projects;
• ability to provide all deliverables;
• approach, and sensitivity of design to the urban wilderness context of the site;
• ability design to the highest level of sustainability and minimum footprint;
• ability to work with the numerous agencies, stakeholders; interest groups, and waterfront
design processes; .
• cost.
Upon comparison of the proposals from the four subrrifssions, it was determined that all firms
produced sound proposals that were generally consistent in approach and cost. All but one
firm had worked with TRCA staff on similar projects in the past. The PLANT Architect proposal
costs were significantly higher then_the others and the firm's expertise is primarily related to
residential architecture and not public park environments.
254
The cost of the Oleson Worland Architects proposal was the lowest of the four. However, the
selection committee had concerns with the proposal's approach to the site. The committee felt
that the proposal was lacking in detail and understanding of the 'Urban Wilderness' theme
within a waterfront context. The design foundation and guiding principles were not consistent
with TRCA's sustainability criteria and an approach that minimizes ecological footprint.
The Montgomery Sisam proposal was the second lowest cost. However, it was the most
comprehensive and consistent with the overall goals for the park. They clearly understand the
project objectives and are proven award winning architects in the field of sustainability and
environmental sensitivity. They are clearly able to meet all the deliverables in the timeframe
provided. Their attention to multi - purpose structures and reusable and movable architecture
are ideal for TTP, particularly given the multitude of other planning initiatives being undertaken
in the vicinity of the site.
Staff from both TWRC and TRCA felt that the Montgomery Sisam proposal was clearly superior
when evaluated against the selection criteria. TRCA and TWRC have both had positive
experiences with the firm in completing projects efficiently on schedule and within budget.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
TWRC is providing the funding necessary t� implement the Tommy Thompson Park Master
Plan. Funding has been allocated in TRCA's 2008 Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan
Implementation budget (accounts 216 -22 and 216 -32).

PURCHASING POLICY
Section 1.14 Non - Competitive Procurement Process
A non - competitive procurement process shall only be used if one or more of the following
conditions apply and a process of negotiation is undertaken to obtain the best value in the
circumstances for the TRCA. Authorized Buyers are authorized to enter into negotiations
without formal competitive bids, under the following circumstances:
1. The goods and services are only available from one source or one supplier by reason
of:
• A statutory or market based monopoly
• A fluctuating market prevents the TRCA from obtaining price protection or owing to
market conditions, required goods or services are in short supply
• Existence of exclusive rights (patent, copyright or licence)
• Need for compatibility with goods and services previously acquired and there are no
reasonable alternatives, substitutes or accommodations
• Need to avoid violating warranties and guarantees where service is required
2. An attempt to purchase the required goods and services has been made in good faith
using a competitive method and has failed to identify a successful supplier.
3. When the extension or reinstatement of an existing contract would prove most
cost - effective or beneficial. The extension shall not exceed one year.
The goods and services are required as a result of an emergency, which would not
reasonably permit the use of the other methods permitted.
5. The required goods and services are to be supplied by a particular vendor or supplier
having special knowledge, skills, expertise or experience that cannot be provided by
any other supplier.
Any other sole or single source purchase permitted under the provisions of this policy
including those noted in Schedule `B'.

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the
Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010.
In the late 1990's the Rouge Park Alliance/TRCA developed a Pool of Priority Sites for
Acquisition and included in the list was the Jefferson Forest Environmentally Significant Area
(ESA) and the Provincial Life Science Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) called the
Wilcox Lake Wetlands and Uplands, in an area approximately bounded between Bayview
Avenue and Leslie Street, north of Stouffville Road and south of Bethesda Road. This is
considered to be an important headwaters area for the Rouge River. In February 2001, the first
property in the area, a 46 acres property, 940 Stouffville Road, was purchased by TRCA with
funding assistance from the Town of Richmond Hill, the Regional Municipality of York and the
Province of Ontario.
267
In May -2001, the Oak Ridges Moraine Protection Act, 2001 froze all development applications
on the moraine including an area referred to as Yonge East and West in the Town of Richmond
Hill (Oak Ridges Corridor Park- herein "Corridor Park "). On September 23, 2004, the Minister
of Municipal Affairs and. Housing announced that the Province of Ontario and certain
landowners on the Oak. Ridges Moraine in the Town of Richmond Hill had reached an
agreement to exchange lands. The purpose of the land exchange was to protect the last
remaining natural corridor link between the eastern and western parts of the Oak Ridges
Moraine in Richmond Hill. Under the agreement, 1,057 acres (428 hectares) of land in
Richmond.Hill would come into public ownership. The Province completed the land exchange
in August 2007, and became owners of the Oak Ridges Corridor Park. Approximately 120 acre
of the 1,057 acre Corridor Park is found in the Jefferson Forest ESA east of Bayview, (Corridor
Park East).
In addition to the corridor park lands an opportunity arose for the Province to secure and
protect additional adjacent lands in public ownership within the Corridor Park East area.
Through this process TRCA acquired 269 acres within the Corridor Park East.
Another important part of the Corridor Park East land assembly, 900 Stouffville Road, a 25 acre
parcel, was acquired in 2006, through a partnership involving the Regional Municipality of York,
the Town of. Richmond Hill, City of Toronto, and the Oak Ridges. Moraine Foundation. This
raised the total land owned by TRCA in the Corridor Park East to 341 aces and the total
Corridor Park to 1,398 acres. (Provincial lands plus TRCA lands). This acreage does not
include TRCA's Lake St. George property or Town of Richmond Hill park lands.
Only two, large parcels remain to be acquired to complete the Corridor Park East land
assembly. A 45 acre property fronting on Stouffville Road and the subject property 1229.
Bethesda Road (Swan Lake). Ralph and Linda Hollander have given TRCA an opportunity to
purchase their property and staff is recommending we acquire it to help complete the land
assembly in . this area and add an important parcel to the Corridor Park.
The agreements conditional on the availability of funding. The offer at hand is supported by
an appraised value based on independent valuations.
Negotiations have been conducted with the owners.
Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.
RATIONALE
The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Rouge
River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. The
subject property is also included in the Pool of Priority Acquisition Sites for the Rouge Park
approved by the Rouge Park Alliance.
26.8
It is located in the headwaters of the Rouge River, in the provincially significant Wilcox Lake and
Uplands Area of Natural and Scientific Interest and within the Jefferson Forest Environmentally
Significant Area (ESA #90). TRCA biologists have visited the site to conduct natural area
inventories and have documented the presence of bog communities and numerous species of
conservation concern. The property is designated as Natural Core Area under the Oak Ridges
Moraine Conservation Plan. The addition of the subject parcel will compliment TRCA's holdings
in this area.
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
Since this property has been designated as a provincially significant ANSI it will be eligible to
receive a property tax exemption. TRCA, together with other stakeholders including the Town
of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York and Ontario Realty Corporation are currently
preparing a management plan for the Corridor Park East lands. 1229 Bethesda Road property
will be included in this process.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The subject property was identified on the list of properties approved by the City of Toronto to
be funded from the city's Land Acquisition for Source Water Protection Reserve. The city will
fund up to 33% of the costs of the acquisition for properties on the list located outside of the
city boundaries.
Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation (ORMF) staff has indicated during preliminary discussions that
they would support a contribution by the ORMF to this purchase. Other potential funding
sources are the Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York, Ducks Unlimited and
Wildlife Habitat Canada. Expenditures related to this acquisition will be charged to. account
004 -11 -502.

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
A letter was received on April 11, 2008, from Mr. Ian.McCullough, Vice President of Marshall
Homes requesting that TRCA enter into a land exchange involving two small parcels of
TRCA -owned land (comprising approximately 0.24 acres) in exchange for a much larger parcel
of land presently under the ownership of Marshall Homes (approximately 2.89 acres in size)
located west of Riverside Drive and south of Rossland Road.
Marshall Homes is preparing a draft subdivision plan for lands they have assembled in this
area. Through ongoing discussions with Marshall Homes, TRCA staff and Town of Ajax officials
have agreed that the small fragments of TRCA -owned lands are surplus to our needs and can
be incorporated into the draft plan in exchange for a 1.169 hectare block of valleyland that is
not part of the draft plan. Other valley and floodplain lands within the plan will be dedicated to
TRCA.for a nominal amount. This will be subject to a separate report to the board.
Staff is prepared to recommend the land exchange as outlined in .the report, as the acquisition
of the Marshall Homes property will help consolidate TRCA ownership in this area, help achieve
our conservation objectives, create environmental linkages and the potential for increased
public use along this corridor of the Duffins Creek.
The subject lands are part of much larger parcels of property that were acquired by TRCA on
May 12, 1965, from Fredrick Bussey and on October 18, 1978, from John Garay &Associates
Ltd. in trust, under the Duffins Creek master plan for flood plain and valley land acquisition.
A sketch showing the location of the subject sites is attached.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
All costs associated with the transaction will be paid by Marshall Homes.

SANITARY SEWER PROJECTS
King Township Area of the Humber River Watershed. Report in •response
to the letter from Ms. Madeleine McDowell regarding the dewatering
processes for the sanitary sewer projects and its affect upon the
groundwater table in King Township.
Suzan Hall
Richard Whitehead
WHEREAS THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) understands concerns raised by the Humber Heritage
Committee regarding the construction of underground pipes, potential dewatering
processes and their possible effects to the natural environment in the. King Township area,
of the Humber River watershed;
WHEREAS the proponent is committed to notify the. Coordinator, Environmental
Monitoring Review (YDSS), TRCA, if triggers are approached and mitigation measures
should be implemented;
WHEREAS TRCA staff will continue to work with the proponent if necessary to avoid and
or mitigate negative affects to the environment;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the Coordinator, Environmental Monitoring
Review (YDSS) continue to be involved in both projects on a regular basis reviewing all
future submissions and monitoring information and by interacting with the proponent,
contractors and other regulatory .agencies' technical staff to ensure that all previous
commitments are followed;
•
AND FURTHER THAT. the Coordinator, Environmental Monitoring Review (YDSS) and
enforcement staff continueto conduct site visits to the areas under construction to
ensure that projects are built according to the plans.
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #2/08, held on March 28, 2008, a letter dated March 8, 2008, was received
from Madeleine McDowell, .Chair of the Humber Heritage Committee, in regard to dewatering
• (Attachment 1). The letter outlined the Humber Heritage Committee's concerns with the
dewatering processes and their effects upon the groundwater table in the King Township area
of the Humber River watershed. In addition to concerns about the potential negative impacts of
dewatering on Oak Ridges Moraine's ecosystem health, the committee expressed their
concerns about the sustainability of mains and sewage pipes in the long term. The committee
is concerned about potential negative effects on the Humber River baseflow, water productions .
wells and indigenous species. •
CARRIED
274
In 2004, the position of Coordinator, Environmental Monitoring Review (YDSS) for all York
Durham Sanitary Sewer (YDSS) projects was created at TRCA. The coordinator is regularly
involved in each YDSS project. The coordinator reviews all monitoring and mitigation reports on
behalf of TRCA, Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO),
and communicates with the Ministry of Environment (MOE) as required. The coordinator is
responsible for coordination and communication with the proponent, its contractors,
consultants and environmental inspectors, and for conducting site visits. TRCA enforcement
staff is responsible for ensuring that conditions of permit approvals are satisfied.
As directed at Authority Meeting #2108 via Resolution #A39/08, TRCA staff reviewed the
concerns of Ms. McDowell and offers the following response.
RATIONALE
There are two sewer construction projects currently underway in The Township of King within
the Humber River watershed: the King City Trunk Sewer and the Nobleton Trunk and Sewage
Treatment Plant (STP). Both projects were previously addressed in a report to Authority
Meeting #10/05, held on January 6, 2006 (Res. #A297/05). The sewers in both King City and
Nobleton are being constructed in a surficial layer of till deposits. Till deposits normally possess
low permeability rates, and therefore provide a relatively slow hydraulic connection between •
groundwater and surface water bodies. The King City project is approximately half complete,
and there has been no dewatering to date, nor is any anticipated for the remaining project
areas. The Nobleton project has no planned construction dewatering,-however if groundwater
is encountered, a contingency dewatering plan has been developed as part of the approved
Environmental Management Plan (EMP), and a contingency Permit To Take Water (PTTW) has
been issued by MOE. As summarized below, TRCA staff has no concerns about construction
dewatering for either project.
King City Trunk Sewer
A Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment was completed for the King City Trunk Sewer
by York Region in 1995 and updated in 2001. Requests for a Part II Order were received by the
Minister and they were denied. In response to MOE requirements under the Oak Ridges
Moraine Act, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan Compliance Report for the King City
Sanitary Sewer was completed in January 2004, and amended in 2006. The project is being
permitted and . constructed through approximately 12 contract areas. To date; five contracts
have been successfully built, and permits for three additional contract areas have been issued
by TRCA. TRCA is currently reviewing permit applications for the final four contract areas.
During the construction of the five built contract areas, only limited construction unwatering of
trenches and pits has occurred. A PTTW from the Ministry of the Environment was not required.
275
For the first three contract areas of the King City Trunk Sewer project, TRCA requested the
proponent to design an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) prescribing monitoring
program, triggers and their response, mitigation and communication protocols for each
contract area. This request was satisfied, and according to each EMP, regular monitoring
information has been provided to TRCA for review. No dewatering was required for the
implementation of any contract 'area. TRCA has advised the proponent that EMPs are not
required for the remaining contract areas for the King City Trunk Sewer project as dewatering is
not anticipated. However, York Region has retained the services of an environmental consulting
firm to continue a monitoring program through construction of all contract areas. Should an •
issue.arise, York Region has committed to consult with TRCA through the YDSS coordinator to
develop an immediate and effective mitigation strategy.
Given that there has been no dewatering for groundwater control associated with the
construction of the King City Trunk Sewer to date, and no dewatering is anticipated for the
construction of the remaining contract areas, staff has determined that there have been no
negative impacts to the Oak Ridges Moraine's ecosystem health, Humber baseflow, water
production wells and indigenous species. York Region is responsible for the maintenance of
the sewer pipes, and has a regular monitoring and maintenance program in place in
accordance with MOE regulations.
Nobleton Trunk Sewer and Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)
A Class EA was completed for the Nobleton Trunk and STP in 2005. TRCA staff has worked
with the proponent on various submissions and technical discussions. To date, -all concerns
and potential negative effects to the environment have been addressed by the proponent, and
an EMP was completed. According to the EMP, the proponent.is committed to monitor all
sensitive environmental features including the existing natural wetland and Humber River, and
appropriately mitigate any negative effects during construction. While no dewatering for
groundwater control is planned, there is potential that unwatering of trenches and pits may
occur as a contingency measure to facilitate construction. As such, the MOE has issued a
contingency PTTW. .
At TRCA's request, York Region, has agreed to construct an artificial wetland at the outfall of the
effluent pipe. As part of the project, York Region will monitor the wetland relative to its hydraulic
functions and 'effluent quality for one year post - construction. The treated effluent will enter a
new constructed wetland, where it is expected that seasonal ammonia levels will be reduced,
and then outlet into the Humber River. In compliance with the MOE policy, York Region has
developed a comprehensive phosphorous offset strategy. The strategy includes the .
decommissioning of a septic system in the Nobleton Community, the planting of agricultural
land north of Nobleton, and the decommissioning of the barn and manure stage areas at the
Albion Hill Dairy Farm as approved at Authority Meeting #3 /08,'held .on April 25, 2008.
276
Permits CFN 38493 and CFN 38494 have been approved by the Executive Committee for these
two projects. TRCA staff reviewed the project applications under the habitat protection
provisions of the Conservation Authorities Act and the Fisheries Act. There is a EMP in place,
including provisions for regular. reporting and communications through TRCA's.YDSS
coordinator. Should dewatering be required, there are adequate provisions in place to ensure
the protection of the Oak Ridges Moraine's ecosystem health, Humber base flow, water
production wells and indigenous species. Again, York Region is responsible for the
maintenance of the sewer pipes, and has a regular monitoring and maintenance program in
place in accordance with the MOE regulations.

Dear Chair O'Connor:
On behalf of the Humber Heritage Committee, I wish to again express our grave
concern with the dewatering process and its affect upon the ground water table. It, is of
most particular concern to us in the area of the Moraine, where the entire eco system is so
fragile and water oriented, with its post glacial evolution of root and drainage systems.
Now, the King area of the Humber watershed is about to suffer a:continuing shock of
doubtful sustainability as mains and sewage pipes are installed and the use of this
technique: Nal:exacerbate,it<fiuther.
We expressed our concerns a decade ago with regard to the potential affect on the
HHumber base flow as well as well-water and indigenous species. These concerns have not
diminished.
Thank you for your kind attention_
Yours sincerely,. .
Madeleine McDowell
Chair, Humber Heritage Committee

THAT the following be inserted after the second paragraph of the main motion:
THAT at the Authority meeting on May 23, 2008, members be asked to indicate their
interest in serving on the Working Group which will include Chair Gerri Lynn O'Connor,
Councillor Ron Moeser and Councillor Maria Augimeri.
280
THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED •
THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED
BACKGROUND
TRCA has grown considerably since its main office at 5 Shoreham Drive was constructed in the
• 1970's. The purpose of the Long Term Office Accommodation Project is to determine the office
accommodation needs of TRCA over the next 20 years and recommend a comprehensive, cost
effective solution.
1. TRCA is currently using a number of locations to meet its office accommodation
requirements:
2. 5 Shoreham Drive - the original "head office ", about 22,000 sq ft., about 140 staff;
3. Black Creek Pioneer Village (BCPV) - offices for BCPV administration as well as 1,500 sq.ft.
for Conservation Foundation and Marketing staff;
4. 70 Canuck Drive, Downsview Park - leased space of about 14,000 sq. ft. housing about 50
staff in the Watershed Management Division, Communications, Conservation Land Planning
and Source Protection sections;
5. Boyd Office (Former Boyd Field Centre) - about 8,000 sq. ft. housing Restoration Services,
Regional Watershed Monitoring and other staff, about 40 in total.
TRCA also has a.number of field locations such as Kortright and Eastville which house
administrative staff for various field operations.
In previous reports, staff advised that there were immediate short term needs to be resolved. -
TRCA has entered into lease arrangements for space at Downsview Park and anticipates
extending that lease space for.the next five years. Also, TRCA 'has completed the'Restoration
• Services Centre which has space for Restorations Services and Parks and Culture. staff. Short .
term office 'space needs have been largely resolved.
RATIONALE
Staff has undertaken preliminary work using an outside consultant to consider costs of creating
office space as well as opportunities to lease or build space .in the vicinity of 5 Shoreham Drive.
There is a need to determine how much space is needed. This analysis involves use of an
office space planning consultant to meet with management staff, assess current space usage,
determine future needs and report on the needs of TRCA. Preliminary estimates of immediate
space requirements total about 40,000 sq ft. Other considerations include meeting room
space for the Authority, training and education facilities, storage etc..
As reported in earlier communications to the Authority, options to be considered include:
• leasing additional space;
• building new space either as a new structure or addition(s) to existing structures;
• partnerships with other organizations to create or lease space;
• sharing space with municipal partners.
281
If there is an opportunity to create new office space either through lease or ownership, TRCA
would want such space to represent the very best of emerging green office technology.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum would-be the standard to
which TRCA should aspire. Also, TRCA would want to demonstrate the application.of other
opportunities such as technological innovations allowing for "work at home" and
video /teleconferencing to reduce travel and its impact on the environment.
Given these goals, staff believe there are partnership opportunities with like minded
organizations. Parc Downsview Park (PDP), for example, shares many of the same values as
TRCA and has discussed with staff opportunities to participate in the future development of
facilities at PDP.
Staff has met with representatives of York University (York U) and is exploring opportunities with
York.U. Given the growth, existing and planned,. York U's Faculty of Science and Engineering
has expressed interest in working with TRCA on a project to create additional space. There are
obvious synergies with the university in particular because this could involve the York Institute
for Research and Innovation in Sustai'nability, a group with whom TRCA staff has a strong
working relationship.
.The site for new office space is the parking area at Black Creek Pioneer Village in conjunction
with the existing office at 5 Shoreham Drive. There is significant benefit for TRCA to maintain a
"head office" presence in this area given access to major highways and being close to the
geographic centre of TRCA's area of jurisdiction. Also, this location is attractive because of
proximity to existing facilities at BCPV and the new subway.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff will finalize awork plan for the office needs analysis including terms of reference for
consultant support. Staff is .considering all of the issues involved in creating new office space,
not the least of which is a financial plan. The timeframe is to report back to the Executive
Committee by year end with the needs analysis preliminary building evaluation and a project
plan including financial projections.
To support and advise staff as the project moves forward, it is proposed that the Authority.
create a small Long Term Office Accommodation Working Group consisting of the Chair and
interested Authority members representative of the participating municipalities.. It is suggested
that the working group. would have.no fewer than five members. It would meet as needed to
support the staff group responsible for the project: Staff reports would flow through the
working group to the Executive Committee.
Financial requirements for the project will be determined as the project proceeds and will be
included in the 2009 - 2013 . capital projections. Initial costs for design will be included in the
2009 2010 capital
282
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Staff has made provision in the 2008 budget for $75,000 to complete the office space needs
analysis and preliminary building evaluation. In the 2009 -2013 capital budget plan, staff will
include funds for the project. Specifically, funding in 2009- 2010 will be sufficient for design and
preliminary construction costs:

lanes, and a sidewalk on both the east and west sides. The existing bridge over Etobicoke
Creek has already been sized to accommodate the road widening and therefore no works are
proposed on the bridge structure. The retaining-wall on the northwest side of Kennedy Road,
closest to the bridge, will be extended vertically by approximately 1.5 m to 5.6 m to
accommodate the road widening. The same retaining wall furtherr north will be removed and
reconstructed. The retaining wall . on the southwest side will be extended vertically -by 0.5 m to
a height of 3.4 m. An existing retaining wall on the southeast side of Kennedy Road will be
completely reconstructed.
Control of Flooding:
There will be no impacts to the control of flooding.
Pollution:
Standard erosion control measures (silt fence) 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
291
Erosion:
There will be no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposal.
Conservation of Land:
With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a Harmful, Alteration, Disruption
or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be •mitigated. No in -water works will be conducted.
Plantings
All disturbed areas will be restored with native non - invasive species following
construction.

Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to convert the existing two - storey commercial building into a
six - storey condominium building with one level of underground parking, retail at- grade, and 46
residential units on floors two to six. The subject site is located within the Lower Don SPA.
• • However, the works are situated outside of the floodplain and are adequately setback from the
Don River. The proposed works are contained within the developed street system and are
consistent with the surrounding streetscape.
Control of Flooding:
TRCA Mapping shows that this site is partially located within the Regional Storm Floodplain of
the Don River and subject to a Regional Storm Floodplain Elevation of 77.37 metres. The site is
also located within the Lower Don SPA which recognizes the existing commercial and
residential development within the floodplain and allows new development/redevelopment in
the area, subject to new structures meeting the minimum 350 -year flood - proofing requirements.
In light of this, the topographical survey for the subject site prepared by R. Avis Surveying Inc.
on January 26, 2006 indicates that the site is elevated above the Regional Storm Floodplain by
over a metre. Therefore the property is not subject to flooding.
Pollution:
The site is within the developed Lower Don community and far removed from any natural areas
including the Don River. Existing servicing is in place to address surface water run -off during
and after construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.

Proposal:
The proposal is to construct - erect or place a building, conduct site grading and to temporarily
or permanently place, dump or remove any material within a Regulated Area of the Rouge
River, in order to facilitate the construction of a mixed use development, including two
condominium buildings and a commercial development, on the south side of Highway 7, east
of 9th Line, in the Grand Cornell Community, in the Town of Markham.
The proposed works'involve site grading in order to facilitate the servicing and development of
the subject site, which will consist of two residential condominium buildings fronting on
Highway 7.as well as multiple commercial buildings including a grocery store and several
banks.
The Cornell Community is located in northeast Markham, bounded by Highway 407 to•the
south, the Donald Cousens Parkway to the east and north and 9th Line to the west. The subject
site is approximately 9.7 ha (24 ac) in size and is located immediately north of a tableland
woodlot which contains a wetland and tributary of the Rouge River. The property is partially
located within the TRCA's Regulated Area; specifically the southern portion of the property
adjacent to the woodlot.
During the original Cornell Secondary Plan process, the limits of this tableland woodlot were
identified and delineated. A 10 metre buffer was established around the woodlot and has been
rezoned into an appropriate open space category. The woodlot will be conveyed into public
.ownership; to the Town of Markham. The proposed development respects the 10.metre buffer
around the woodlot and is located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the
watercourse.
Control of Flooding:
The subject site is located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Rouge River. As
such, the storage or conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted.
Pollution:
Erosion and sediment control measures will be erected prior the initiation of works to ensure
that sediment does not migrate into the woodlot and wetland /watercourse area. These
measures will be maintained for the duration of construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion.
Erosion on site will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned sediment
control measures. There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the
proposed works.
• Conservation of Land:
There are no in -water works proposed as part of the subject application. In addition, no
significant vegetation will be removed for the grading works and the development of the
proposed buildings.

A 10 metre setback has been provided from the edge of the tableland woodlot feature. The
woodlot feature along with the buffer area has been rezoned into an appropriate open space
category and will be dedicated into public ownership (Town of Markham).
Plantings
No vegetation will be removed as part of this application. However, decorative
landscape elements will be incorporated into the site plan which will meet TRCA
Planting Guidelines.

Etobicoke Creek Watershed in order to facilitate an 296.5 square metre addition to an existing
industrial building. The subject lands are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain and are
part of the Avondale Special Policy Area (SPA). The SPA designation recognizes areas within a
community that have historically existed in the floodplain and where strict adherence to
Province wide policies concerning new development would result in social or economic
hardships for the community. Under the SPA criteria, redevelopment on a small scale may be
permitted within the floodplain provided adequate flood proofing measures can be
incorporated into the design and construction of all proposed buildings. It is not the intent of
SPA's to facilitate intensification, or a level of development that is not in keeping with that which
was previously approved by the Province. The area is located within the regulatory floodplain,
however, TRCA technical staff are satisfied that this proposal will not adversely affect the flow
and /or conveyance of floodwaters and the building will be appropriately floodproofed. The area
to which this application applies is void of any significant vegetation and is currently an asphalt
surface.

Don River, in Planning Block 11, in the City of Vaughan.
The permit will be issued for the period of May 9, 2008 to May 8, 2010.
Letter of Undertaking, prepared by GEMS, dated May 7, 2008, received May 7, 2008.
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 to alter a tributary of the East Don. River, in order to
remove existing culverts northwest of Bathurst Street and Rutherford Road, in Planning Block
11, in the City of Vaughan.
Planning Block 11 is bounded by Rutherford Road to the south, Dufferin Street to the west,
Major Mackenzie Drive to the north and Bathurst Street to the east. The proposed work site is
located within lands that are a part of draft approved plan of subdivision 19T -95062
(Woodvalley Developments). The work site is located south of Bridge Crossing A (previously
approved under Ontario Regulation 158 permit no. C- 05196) and on the east branch of the East
Don River. An existing farm access road, which is constructed of gravel overtop concrete slabs,
crosses the watercourse via multiple culverts.
In order to remove the existing culverts, a coffer dam /pump by -pass system will be
implemented. The temporary by -pass of the channel will allow the works to be completed in
predominantly dry conditions, thereby isolating disturbance to the immediate area 'of the work
site.
Prior to the construction of the coffer dam, a qualified fisheries biologist will determine the
.presence of aquatic species in the isolated portion of the channel and conduct a fish removal, if
necessary. Two coffer dams will be constructed approximately 5 metres upstream and
downstream of the proposed work site. Flows will be diverted for the duration of construction
which is estimated to be a maximum of 10 days. Once flow has been diverted from the work
area, the culvert removal works will be conducted. Once the culverts are removed, the stream
bed and banks will be reconstructed. No machinery will enter the watercourse..
357
Control of Flooding:
TRCA technical staff has reviewed technical submissions relating to the proposed works and is
satisfied.that the storage or conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted by the removal of
the culvert.
Pollution:
To prevent the transfer of sediment downstream during the in- stream works, terrafix sediment •
logs will be placed downstream of the proposed works site to mitigate against mobilized •
sediment. In addition, sediment fencing will also be erected along the farm access road to
prevent sediment from migrating into the downstream reaches of the watercourse.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
Sediment will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned sediment
control measures. There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the
proposed works.
J
Conservation of Land:
Given that a coffer dam/pump by-pass system will be implemented in the watercourse, a Letter
of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO): Riparian vegetation
on the banks of the watercourse will be removed in order to facilitate the proposed works.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose is to permit development within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed
at 8299 and 8355 Kipling Avenue, in the City of Vaughan, to facilitate the demolition of two
single - family homes and the construction of a 116 -unit townhouse development, which was
draft approved as part of a residential plan of subdivision (19T- 06V03).
The proposed development is located to the south and west of a well- vegetated slope, which
extends down to the Humber River. An 18 -metre buffer was established between the proposed
townhouse development and the adjacent physical top of bank through our review of the
related official plan amendment, zoning by -law amendment and draft plan of subdivision
applications (OP.06.008, Z.06.022 and 19T- 06V03). The valley vegetation, the long -term stable
top of bank and a buffer area were captured within the 18 -metre allowance. These lands were
rezoned into an open space category and will be dedicated into public ownership. A chain link
fence will be established between the townhouse development and the open space lands. •
Landscape and.edge management plans have also been prepared for this area.
No grading will occur within the 18 -metre buffer except as required during the demolition of the
two existing single - family homes. The existing homes are closer to the physical top of bank
than the proposed townhouse development. As such, the demolition works will be restricted to
the immediate area around the existing homes, which will be delineated by sediment control
fencing. Once the demolition works are complete and the area restored, a double row of
sediment control fencing and straw bales will'be installed between the new development limit
and the open space lands. Grading for the subdivision will occur up to the limit of the open
space lands.
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 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.
361
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:
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
Landscape, edge management and tree preservation plans have been prepared for the
site, including the valley lands and buffer, to the satisfaction of TRCA staff.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is consistent with Section 4.1.1 (New Urban Development) and Section 4.2.2 F)
(Opportunities for Regeneration) of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management

Proposal:
The purpose of this proposal is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a new, 164 square metre
(1768 sq. ft.) single - family dwelling on Lot 19, Concession 7, in the Town of Caledon. The
property is located within the area of interference of an adjacent oak ridges moraine wetland
feature. Please note that' construction of the foundation for the proposed.works has occurred
without a TRCA permit. The foundation works are setback approximately 20 metres from the
wetland feature. TRCA staff have since visited the site and considering the agricultural use of
the property, the works appear to be sufficiently setback from the wetland feature. As such, no
impacts to the wetland feature are anticipated. Additionally, there are no flooding, hydrological,
. geotechnical or ecology related concerns associated with this proposal. However,
enhancement plantings are proposed with this application surrounding the wetland feature in
order to achieve a net ecological gain.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no impact
to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated.
Pollution:
Appropriate sediment and erosion controls (i.e., silt fencing) have been proposed with this
application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.

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 two stormwater management pond outfalls and
establish.one permanent stormwater management pond. 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. Previously, in March of 2007, the Executive
Committee granted permission to undertake the rough grading and establishment of the
associated sediment and erosion control measures on the table land portions of the site. At
this point in time, the owner wishes to finish construction of a permanent stormwater
management pond and construct the outfalls for that pond and a second 'interim' pond. The
outfall structures require construction activities to take place within the valleylands of the Bruce
Creek.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed pond outfalls will be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. The outfalls
have been designed to safely convey flood flows and will not negatively affect the control of
flooding.
Pollution:
The outfalls have been sited as far back from the Bruce Creek as possible. The stormwater
management ponds have been designed to treat stormwater to Ministry of the Environment
Level 1 'Enhanced' standards. A sediment and erosion control plan is to be implemented and
maintained for the duration of construction so that sedimentation of the watercourse will be
prevented.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
• Erosion:
There are no geotechnical or erosion concerns with the proposed construction activities. The
stormwater management ponds have been designed to detain stormwater run off iri order to
prevent an increase of erosion within the watercourse.
Conservation of Land:
There are no in-water works proposed as part of this application. In addition, there are no
significant natural heritage features at the outfall locations. However, some woody vegetation
including cedar trees may need to be removed in order to construct the outfalls. Staff will issue
a Letter of Advice.on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) with this permit pursuant to
TRCA's Level III Agreement. All disturbed areas are to be stabilized following construction.
Plantings
Following construction, disturbed areas are proposed to be restored and enhanced with
native plantings in accordance with a landscape plan that has been reviewed as part of
this permit.

FILMPORT DEVELOPMENTS INC
,To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade and
temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on
the site or elsewhere on Block 2, Plan 540 -E, (225 Commissioners Street), in the
City of Toronto. (Toronto and East York Community Council Area), Waterfront
Watershed as located on the property owned by Filmport Developments Inc..
The purpose is to construct the first portion of Phase 2 of the FilmPortProject
comprised of a 7,800 square metre, four storey commercial building.
The permit will be issued for the period of May 9, 2008'to May 8, 2010 in accordance with the
following documents and plans which form part of this permit:.
• Letter of Undertaking from FilmPort - to fulfill all TRCA requirements, dated May 5,
2008, received May 6, 2008.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
391
Proposal:
The proposal is to excavate, shore up the excavation and install cassions in order to begin the
development of the first portion of Phase 2 of the "FilmPort" project and, upon Site Plan
approval, to construct a 7,800 square metre, four storey commercial building to: be leased to
the film industry. The building will be located south of Basin Street and east of the Don
Roadway. The entire proposed FilmPort development is 45 acres located in the Toronto Port
Lands in the vicinity of Commissioner's Street, between the Don Roadway to the west,
Lakeshore Boulevard to the north, Bochette Street to the east, and the Ship Channel to the
south. This area is entirely within the Lower Don Special Policy Area. Phase 1 comprising
21,550 square metres of sound stages, production offices and support facilities was subject to
TRCA Permit No. C -06497 approved on October 13, 2006 and now substantially constructed.
The grading proposal for the first portion of Phase 2 will tie. into the grades for Phase 1 and will
protect the proposed commercial building from flooding. TRCA Water Resources Ehgineering
staff has confirmed that this will not have an impact on flooding nor have the potential to impact
• any of the alternatives to implementation of the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood
Protection Project Environmental Assessment, given the preliminary preferred alternative.
Conditional Approval:
TRCA staff has met with all proponents and City of Toronto representatives to coordinate the
conceptual approval of the Site Plan. FilmPort has informed TRCA and City of Toronto staff that
excavation, shoring and the installation of cassions must begin as soon as possible in order to
meet an occupancy deadline for the tenant, a large employer in the film business. FilmPort has
agreed that they will bear full responsibility for any changes to the location of cassions through
the Site Plan review process. TRCA staff are satisfied with the technical merits of the proposal
(i.e. no impactto the control of flooding) but-have not had .a chance to review the final details.
As such, staff is requesting permission from the Executive Committee to: 1) allow staff. to .
approve the issuance.of the Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit for this project subject to
FilmPort receiving confirmation from the City of Toronto that the location of the excavation,
shoring and cassions is-acceptable andconfirrriation from TRCA's Water Resources
Engineering staff that the erosion and sediment control plan is acceptable; and 2)-allow staff to
approve the issuance of a permit revision for the final grading and development of the building
.at a later date subject to confirmation from TRCA's Water Resources Engineering staff that the
-proposal is adequately protected from flooding.
Control of Flooding:
Portions of the site are estimated to be slightly below the grade of the Regional Storm Flood
Elevation. The excavation, shoring and installation of cassions will have no impact on the
control of flooding. As part of the grading and development of the building, the site will be
raised, bringing it above the floodplain elevation. .This .wiII have no impact on the control of
flooding as the revised grading is minor and the site is located in close proximity to Lake
Ontario.
Pollution:
• Temporary sediment and erosion controls will be installed during construction. The stormwater
management system will be designed to tie into Phase I and upgraded with additional quality
control.
Dynamic Beaches:
• Not applicable.
392
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical issues with the proposal. Water quantity control is not required as
the stormwater discharges to Lake Ontario.
Conservation of Land:
The site is currently undeveloped former industrial lands and does not contain any significant
natural resources.
Plantings
No plantings beyond City- required site landscaping are required.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is in consistent with Section 4.2.1 (B) - Development/Redevelopment within
Designated Two Zone Areas or Special Policy Areas - of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor
Management Program.

MILLCREEK ESTATES
Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel
Humber River Watershed. Development on existing vacant lots of record
within the Mill Creek Estates Subdivision which contain or are adjacent to
significant natural features.
Suzan Hall ,
Richard Whitehead
THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff continue discussions with
Town of Caledon staff with regard to completing a development protocol and guideline
package to assist in establishing best management practices and suitable development
for lots within the Mill Creek subdivision;
THAT TRCA staff consult with Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) staff prior to the
completion of the protocol, and that the protocol once established, be forwarded to the
Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) for their information;
AND FURTHER THAT TRCA staff be directed to explore potential opportunities for more
broadly applying a similar collaborative protocol on other similar applications within the
Town of Caledon.
CARRIED
393
BACKGROUND
During TRCA staff's review of a permit application for development on a vacant lot of record at 2
'Locke Drive in the Town of Caledon, TRCA staff identified potential concerns with respect to
development-on this property given its close proximity to significant natural features. TRCA staff
also identified potential future concerns with respect to development on other vacant lots within
this plan of subdivision, on which the potential for future development may be significantly
effected by the natural features within this area.
At Executive Committee Meeting #1108, held on March 7, 2008, Resolution #B14/08 was
approved as follows:
THAT the Chief Administrative Officer be authorized to issue an Ontario Regulation
166/06 permit for Millcreek Estates Lot 7 - 2 Locke Drive, Town of Caledon, subject to
staff being.satisfied with the permit;
THAT staff report back on the discussions relating to 2 Locke Drive;
AND FURTHER THAT staff work with Town of Caledon staff to develop a combined
approach for dealing with the entire subdivision and present the results to the Executive
Committee.
2 Locke Drive Permit Application
Subsequent to the March 7, 2008 Executive Committee meeting, TRCA staff met with the
landowner of 2 Locke Drive and Town of Caledon staff to resolve the outstanding issues with
respect to development on this property.
At the time at which this permit application was brought forward for the consideration of the •
Executive Committee, modifications were required to the development proposal to minimize
any potential impacts on the Provincially Significant Wetland, located directly to the north on an
adjacent property. Through the subsequent discussions with the landowner, modifications were
made to the proposed grading, limits of disturbance, as well as limits of the building envelope
to reduce potential impacts on the adjacent wetland. As part of these modifications, the •
proposed building envelope was reduced to include only the lands on the front portion of the
property, while the proposed building envelope was removed from the rear of the lot to ensure
the long -term protection of the existing natural features. Proposed grading on the lot will be
minimized in areas adjacent to natural features, and the owner has committed to utilize a state
of the art septic system to minimize any potential impacts to the adjacent Wetland. Additionally,
the owner agreed to provide for restoration and enhancement of portions of the property on
which development will not be occurring, to enhance the natural linkage function that it
currently provides. After having successful negotiations, a TRCA permit was issued shortly
thereafter for this property.
394
Mill Creek Estates Subdivision
Further to the direction from the Executive Committee, TRCA staff also met with Town of
Caledon staff to discuss the larger issues with respect to development within this subdivision.
Based upon these discussions, an internal protocol is being established for managing
development applications within this subdivision to ensure that the approval process will fully
consider both TRCA and Town of Caledon requirements. Of principal issue to the Authority is
minimizing the potential impacts of development on the significant natural features and systems
that are located on, and traverse, the subject property.
Subdivision History
Mill Creek Estates is a registered plan of subdivision located on the east side of The Gore
Road, south of Old Church Road in the Town of Caledon. This subdivision was originally draft
approved in 1974, amended in 1988, and subsequently registered. At that time, provincial
ministries (Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
(MMAH)) performed the natural environment related plan review function that TRCA presently
provides, and TRCA was not actively involved in the planning or approvals for this subdivision.
Based upon the planning policies in place at that time, lots were permitted which partially or
wholly contained wetlands, or were directly adjacent to the wetlands. Due to a number of
factors, development did not proceed within this subdivision at that time, and the lots were sold ,
to individual landowners.
Since the time in which this subdivision was approved the wetlands that traverse this
subdivision were assessed and designated by the Province. These wetlands now form part of
the Hockley Valley Provincially Significant Wetland Complex. The lands have also been
subsequently designated under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP) as
`Natural Core'. Based upon today's Provincial Policy requirements,. a subdivision of this nature
•
• would not be permitted. However, as a registered plan of subdivision, the lots have already
been established and sold, and development on these properties is consequently only subject
to a limited number of provisions of the ORMCP and Town .of Caledon Official Plan, pertaining
to existing lots of record. '
Current Issues
TRCA staff has recently received a number of permit applications, and Caledon scoped site
plan control circulations, for development on the lots within this subdivision. Through the review
of these applications it became apparent to TRCA staff that there may be lots within this
subdivision on which development (from the perspective of TRCA staff) may be significantly
constrained, or precluded, as a result of the significant natural features on the lots. The permit
application for 2 Locke Drive that was discussed at the March 7, 2008 Executive Committee
meeting was the first of these permit applications to be considered by TRCA under Ontario
Regulation 166/06, through which TRCA regulates development within and adjacent to wetland
areas.
395
Town of Caledon staff has confirmed that in accordance with their ORMCP conformity
amendment to their Official Plan, that the Town may not have the ability to preclude
development on existing lots of record within approved subdivisions on the Oak Ridges
Moraine (ORM) which have significant natural features - where planning approvals were
attained in advance of the Oak Ridges Conservation Act being passed. On such lots, Town staff
has indicated that they will work with the landowners, through the Town's scoped site plan
control process to reduce the potential impacts of the development to the greatest possible
extent.
While TRCA's requirements for considering' applications made under Ontario Regulation 166/06
are most often complementary with the Town's policies and the requirements of the Planning
'Act, in such situations where historic planning approvals allow for 'grandfathered' development .
to occur that may not be permitted under present day planning policies, TRCA's requirements
for the issuance of a TRCA permit may differ from the Town's requirements for development.
Due to the circumstances described above, development on some of the lots within the Mill
Creek Estates subdivision may be among those which are not consistent.
Under the Conservation Authorities Act and Ontario Regulation 166/06, TRCA regulates
development within an area of interference which includes wetlands and adjacent areas. Within
these areas, in order, for TRCA staff to support the issuance of a permit, the proposal must pass.
tests relating to Control of Flooding, Pollution,. Conservation of Lands, Erosion and other
parameters. Should through the review of an application, TRCA.staff determine that a
development proposal does not meet one or.more of these tests, should the proposal be .
supported by Town staff, the position of the two agencies may not be complementary.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The above -noted issues were discussed with Town staff and it was determined that an informal
protocol should be established, which would be utilized by Town staff in pre - consultation
discussions with landowners within this subdivision to flag the potential issues of TRCA. While .
the details of this protocol are still being refined, this protocol will include a color -coded map of
this subdivision on which the lots will be coded based upon the potential interests of TRCA. It is
expected at this time, that the following coding would apply:
• > For lots which contain wetland features and on which development (from the
perspective of TRCA staff) would be.:significantly constrained or precluded, Town of
Caledon staff will direct proponents to.TRCA first, and will not process a scoped site
plan approval application until such time as proponent has had discussions with TRCA
staff.
• On lots which are adjacent to wetlands, or those with a significant linkage function,
proponents would be given guidelines for development on these properties, and
directed to consult with TRCA staff.
• For lots on which development is unlikely to be significantly effected by natural features,
a copy of the guidelines for development should be provided to the proponent,
however, Town staff may proceed with discussions with the proponents with respect to
development concepts without first referring the proponent to TRCA.
396
While the guidelines identified above are still being developed, and additional discussions will
be required between TRCA and Town staff with regard to the content of the guidelines, it is
anticipated that these will provide guidance on best management practices and site design.
The location of development on the property, grading works, and the location and extent of
ancillary uses are likely to be included. TRCA staff will work further with the Town of Caledon to
design the guidelines, and to effectively implement an enhanced approach to development
within this subdivision that will be complementary to the interests of both agencies. Prior to the
completion of the protocol, TRCA staff will also consult with MNR staff regarding the provincial
interests. A copy of this report, and the proposed protocol (once completed) will be forwarded
to MNR for their information.

ONTARIO REGULATION 166/06 PERMIT RE- ISSUANCE PROTOCOL
A Permit Re- Issuance Protocol to streamline the review and approval
process for works that have received a permit from Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority under Ontario Regulation 166/06, but where the
permit will expire before the works are completed.
Suzan Hall
Richard Whitehead
WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff is committed to
working cooperatively with all of TRCA's municipal partners, landowners and
stakeholders regarding the implementation of Ontario Regulation 166/06, including
opportunities to streamline the approval process where appropriate;
WHEREAS TRCA, through its Business Excellence objective, is committed to improving
and streamlining the administration of regulation compliance;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the "Permit Re- Issuance" protocol, including
the delegation of approval authority to TRCA staff, as outlined in the staff report, be
approved and implemented;
AND FURTHER THAT the municipal building and engineering departments of TRCA's
member municipalities be so advised.
CARRIED
397
BACKGROUND
On May 8, 2006, TRCA's "Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to
Shorelines and Watercourses" Regulation, Ontario Regulation 166/06, was formally approved. It
replaced TRCA's "Fill, Construction, and Alteration to Waterways" Regulation, Ontario
Regulation 158. To facilitate the transition from the old regulation to the new regulation and to
improve service delivery to applicants and member municipalities, the Authority approved a
"Permission for Minor Works" protocol (Authority Meeting #5/06, held on June 23, 2006,
Resolution #A152/06) and a "Permission for Routine Infrastructure Works" protocol (Authority
Meeting #10/07, held on January 4, 2008, Resolution #A293/07). Both protocols allow for a
streamlined permit approval process for works that do not impact flooding, erosion, dynamic •
beaches, pollution or the conservation of land. In addition, approval authority was delegated to
TRCA staff under both protocols.
Regardless of whether approvals are granted through one of the streamlining protocols noted
above, or through the regular process wherein TRCA staff forward recommendations of
approval to the Executive Committee, permits pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 cannot be
extended. Under Ontario Regulation 166/06, permits are issued for two years and legally there
is no opportunity to extend the expiry date of the approval. In recognition of the fact that some
works, especially those related to public infrastructure projects, require more than two years to
reach completion, the need to develop a protocol to streamline the re- issuance of a previously
approved permit was identified. Typical reasons for why projects take longer than two years to •
complete relate to the process of tendering and awarding.contracts, budgeting, and .
construction constraints associated with fisheries timing windows. •
RATIONALE .
As nearly two years have passed since the adoption of Ontario Regulation 166/06; and permits
under the Regulation can only be issued for two years, the initial permits granted by TRCA will
soon start to expire. Under the existing process, applicants will have to apply for a new permit
following the expiration of their original permit. As part of this process,.new 'copies .of the
previously approved plans /documents and a fee associated with a.new•permit will have to be
submitted. Further, the application will be subject to TRCA's regular review and approval
•
procedures, including the requirement for Executive Committee approval.
If the.Permit Re- Issuance Protocol is approved by the Executive Committee, and upon
notification generally 60 days prior to the expiration of their Ontario Regulation .166/06 permit,
applicants will be able to apply for a permit to be re- issued. This will entail the submission of an
application form, including confirmation that the supporting plans /documents are identical to
those previously approved by TRCA or the submission of new plans /documents where minor
modifications are proposed that are in keeping with the original approval, a fee equivalent to
50% of the current permit fee, and a streamlined approval process that would include the
delegation of approval authority to TRCA staff. As per existing protocols, permits are signed by
• the Director, Planning and Development, an appojnted enforcement officer, or staff designated •
• by the Director, Planning and Development. This new protocol will result in the issuance of new •
permits, but the review and approval of those permits.will be streamlined, taking into
consideration that the works were previously reviewed and approved .by TRCA. Similar to the
existing streamlining protocols, all re- issued permits will be forwarded to the Executive • .
Committee for their information. The issuance of a new permit will ensure that TRCA maintains
our legislative obligations under Ontario Regulation 166/06, while providing an opportunity to
expedite the review process and improve service delivery.
398.
Criteria
Outlined below are the criteria that will be used to determine if a previously approved Ontario
Regulation 166/06 permit may be re- issued:
• Original permit was not issued under the "Permission for Minor Works" protocol or the
"Permission for Routine Infrastructure Works" protocol, as these protocols capture works
that are minor or routine in nature and therefore should not require longer than two years to
complete.
• Works must be identical to the original permit or minor modifications in keeping with the
intent of the original permit.
• Property ownership as per the original permit remains the same.
• No prior re- issuances.
Notwithstanding the above, any requests for a permit re- issuance will be assessed in
accordance with all new updated technical hazard information and policies (e.g. floodproofing
requirements may need to be modified if new flood plain information indicates increased risk).
There is no guarantee of an automatic approval. In addition, a permit may be re- issued one
time only, after which the project is considered new works.
Processing Fee
TRCA's Administrative Fee Schedule for permit applications was updated on January 4, 2008.
Included within the fee structure is a processing fee of 50% of the current regular permit fee for
one -time only permit re- issuances under Ontario Regulation 166/06.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The "Permit Re- Issuance" protocol will be circulated to the building and engineering
departments of municipalities in TRCA's jurisdiction. If required, staff will meet with appropriate
staff of the municipalities to discuss the protocol.
Summary
There are no provisions under Ontario Regulation 166/06 to extend permits. On a one -time
basis, and upon notification generally 60 days prior to the expiration of an Ontario Regulation
166 /06.permit, ;applicants may apply for the re- issuance of a new permit for the original
approved works, before the works are considered new. Such requests will be assessed in
accordance with any new updated technical hazard information and policies. There is no
guarantee of an automatic approval. The intent of the proposed "Permit Re- Issuance" protocol
is to continue to provide a streamlined, expeditious, and efficient review and approval process
for the implementation of our regulatory responsibilities. Staff will review and monitor the
effectiveness of this protocol for consideration in any future updates to the Regulation, should
the opportunity arise.

THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) enter into an agreement
with Ontario Hydrometric Services Limited (OHS) for a period of one year to construct,
maintain, monitor and archive stream flow data at 23 existing stream gauges as part of
TRCA's Regional Monitoring-Network Program at a cost not to exceed $117,310 plus ..
applicable taxes;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized 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 system which fulfils the needs of the
Remedial Action Plan (RAP), TRCA, and the individual watershed andwaterfront 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 modelling. The focus of this assignment is to retain a consultant for one year to
maintain, monitor and archive stream flow data for 23 gauges within TRCA's entire stream
gauge network. In addition to data management, this project also involves the maintenance,
monitoring, data acquisition and processing, training, and continued development of
stage /discharge relationships, for all TRCA stream gauges. .
RATIONALE •
Historically, the. majority of gauging has been carried out by Environment Canada, through their
Water Survey Canada (WSC) division for stream gauge monitoring. Outside of Environment
Canada's objectives, TRCA identified the need to increase the knowledge base of our
watersheds by increasing the number of gauges and expanding the network. Presently, TRCA
staff does not have sufficient staff resources needed to operate and maintain the network, .
therefore, staff require the services of a private contractor. Today, the availability of private
contractors who undertake water quantity'work is still limited in the area. While some consulting,
firms offer a service of flow gathering in storm and sanitary sewers, very few are able to monitor
open channel flows to Environment Canada standards.
400
In 2007, OHS participated in a competitive bid process to provide these services to TRCA.
Based on a detailed review and evaluation of the proposals, TRCA unanimously agreed that
OHS should be awarded the contract. Therefore, TRCA would like to sole source OHS for the
following reasons:
• OHS has successfully monitored and maintained over a hundred stream gauges throughout
Ontario including TRCA's stream gauge network for the past ten years;
• existing stage /discharge curves could be compromised if a less experienced consultant
was retained;
• OHS conducts all field work and data processing for TRCA and has gained experience in
TRCA monitoring needs and objectives, location of the existing stations, and has provided
technical expertise regarding various types of monitoring equipment;
• OHS is familiar with the set -up, downloading and Serial Data Interface (SDI) sensor
programming of the Sutron 9210 datalogger used by TRCA at some of their stream gauge
stations; •
• training will be provided so that TRCA staff can gain the knowledge required to complete
these tasks in -house in the future.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
TRCA has provided a detailed task list to Ontario Hydrometric Services Limited for which they
have provided a quote of $117,310 plus applicable taxes. Staff is of the opinion that this
represents good value for the extent of work requested. OHS has the most experience in the
field of open channel flow monitoring and has successfully and effectively provided TRCA with
these services for the past 10 years. Staff is therefore recommending the project be a sole
source contract with Ontario Hydrometric Services Ltd because they have continued to
demonstrate the knowledge and capacity required to meet TRCA's needs. As per TRCA's
Purchasing Policy, sole source contracts from $50,000 to $200,000 require approval from the
Executive Committee.
Funds required to complete this project are available within the approved 2008 Regional
Watershed Monitoring Network and Flood Forecasting and Warning Program budget accounts
124 -20 and 122 -46. A maximum upset limit of $117,310 plus applicable taxes has been set for
this project.

BACKGROUND
Erosion is a natural process that has traditionally been controlled with 'hard' engineering
practices that are now well -known by industry professionals as often having - detrimental
impacts on stream ecology. Recognizing the need corporately to deliver long -term erosion •
• control projects in a more sustainable manner, it is necessary to continue fostering the
professional development of staff by supporting training on the latest environmentally - sensitive •
• stream restoration practices. .
A global focus on climate change and the need to brace for higher intensity and more frequent
storm events places soil bioengineering at the forefront of erosion control because unlike inert
structures like concrete and gabion that weaken with age, bioengineering uses Living material
that grows stronger over time. The root systems of these living structures provide substantial
strength 'and resistance to movement, while providing food and cover for wildlife, becoming a
sustainable part of the local ecosystem. Staff's limited experience with bioengineering to date
has been extremely positive, encouraging the incorporation of bioengineering techniques on
TRCA managed projects.
Although bioengineering and biotechnical erosion control methods have been widely used
since the 1970's, many of these techniques are relatively new to the Greater Toronto Area
(GTA), and more specifically, to TRCA. A recently announced workshop series being held at
the University of Buffalo provides an opportunity for industry professionals who design and
manage stream restoration projects to learn the latest techniques in bioengineering and
network with other professionals in watershed restoration.
The topics at this workshop include: .
• stream restoration design based on form and function of stream ecosystems;
• overview of biological parameters of riverine systems; .
• bioengineering techniques and riparian management including the use of native species
and the control and impact of invasive species;
402
• three days of hands on case studies of local stream and riparian restoration projects (field
training);
• field biological assessments, characterizations and statistical analysis.
The instructors include Dave Derrick, an internationally recognized Research Engineer with the
.US Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) Engineering Research and Development Center
(ERDC), Paul Furhmann, Habitat Restoration Specialist with Ecology and Environment Limited,
and Dr. Chris Pennuto, Macroinvertebrate Ecologist at Buffalo State College.
RATIONALE
Moranne McDonnell and Patricia Newland are the lead contacts for the planning, design and
approvals for TRCA erosion control projects. Many of the smaller -scale projects are designed
in -house by Moranne McDonnell and Patricia Newland, while larger projects are designed by
consulting engineers under their direction.
It is highly desirable for staff to attend this workshop because unlike other class training
workshops on stream restoration that cover basic principles and techniques and which are
generally aimed at planners and reviewers, this workshop is geared toward the designers and
builders of bank stabilization works. Attendance at this workshop will provide staff the
opportunity to bring leading -edge technologies to TRCA, helping to continue building TRCA's
reputation as a leader in environmentally - sensitive erosion control. At present there are no
known workshops within the GTA that offer the same combination of comprehensive in -class
training and field work.
Furthermore, it is anticipated that this training will streamline the internal approvals process for
TRCA erosion control projects, allowing .staff to manage a greater number of projects annually
and reducing individual project costs that result from a lengthy review process.
The TRCA policy on travel requires Executive Committee approval for staff travel outside of the
country on TRCA business. Upon return from the workshop a presentation will.be prepared for
the board highlighting the training and the techniques learned at the workshop.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Cost to attend this 5 day workshop is $1,000 (US) for two staff. Total cost; including mileage
reimbursement, lodging, and meals is not to exceed $2,500 (CAD). Funding is to be shared
between the Erosion Monitoring and Maintenance budgets for Toronto (40 %), Peel (35 %), York
(20 %) and Durham (5 %), the percentage indicated for each reflecting the approximate amount
of time staff spend managing erosion control projects in each region.
Funding is available in accounts 139 -01, 189 -05, 189 -01 and 189 -50.

Approval to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry
of Natural Resources for the 2008/09 Operating, Administration and
Water Budget Transfer Payments for MNR Drinking Water Source
Protection Partnership funding.
Suzan Hall
Maja Prentice
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority (TRCA) as the CTC watershed region lead enter into a Memorandum of
Understanding with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) providing $1,941,940.50 for
the 2008 -2009 Operating, and Administration and Water Budget Transfer Payments;
AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take such action as is
necessary to implement the agreement with MNR, including the execution and signing of
documents and entering into agreements with municipalities in the CTC Source
Protection Region.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
On an annual basis, TRCA acting as lead Source Protection Authority develops a business
plan for the Province of Ontario for provincially mandated activities that support the Clean
Water Act as detailed in Ontario Regulation 284. This business plan is developed with
significant input from the Credit Valley Conservation Authority (CVC) staff and the Central Lake
Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) staff.
TRCA submitted the business plan in March of 2008 for the fiscal year. of April 1, 2008 - March
31, 2009 totally $1,611,940.50 for Operating and Administrative Activities and $330,000 for
Water Budget and Water Quality Risk Assessment. On May 28, staff was informed that the
business plan had been accepted and that TRCA is eligible for a Transfer Payment Allocation
from MNR of $1,899,395.29 ($1,569,395.29 for Operating and Administration and $330,000.00
for Water Budget studies). TRCA has unspent funding of $42,545.21 from payments made in
2007 -2008 on hand which makes up the difference between the business plan ask and the
transfer approved for the Operating and Administrative Activities.
The Memorandum of Understanding, once sighed, provides for two transfer payments based
on the approved business plan. The first transfer is 75% of the approved allocation to the lead
conservation authority at the start of the fiscal year. The second transfer is 25% based on need
and progress presented in the November 30th in -year status report. These funds are held in a
segregated account and TRCA, CVC and CLOCA are paid for work completed based on
quarterly invoices. In addition, these funds, cover work carried out by municipalities who enter
into Memoranda of Understanding with TRCA as lead source protection authority. The
Municipalities are paid for specific technical work from the segregated trust fund.

Reenga Mathivanan
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Contract RSD08 -14 be awarded to
Flynn Canada Ltd. for the total cost not to exceed $298,180.00, plus applicable taxes, it
being the lowest bid that meets Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
specifications..
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In 1999, the Authority approved the Future Directions Strategy for Black Creek Pioneer Village.
Amajor part of the strategy is the capital projects for restoration of buildings and new
attractions infrastructure which has been ongoing since the year 2000. The Visitor's Centre
roof was originally constructed in 1985 with ongoing minor repairs over the past number of
years but has now reached its' life expectancy and now requires major
replacement /modifications.
Peter Rohmann, a roofing consultant, was retained to provide the detailed design for the
proposed roof Yeplacement and modifications. The preferred option selected is a Sika Sarnafil
PVC membrane system as it provides 'a number of benefits such as:
• made of waterproof material, which does not allow for ponding of rain water;
• recyclable;
• easy to install;
• easy to maintain, which therefore provides for low maintenance c osts;
• 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. The
Sika Sarnafil EnergySmart roofing membrane also meets the design criteria for one Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credit under Sustainable.Sites Credit 7.2: Heat
Island Effect: Roof. The intent of the Heat Island Credit is to "reduce heat islands to minimize
impact on microclimate and human and wildlife habitant ".
RATIONALE
Contracts documents were issued to a total of nine pre - qualified contractors who are trained
and certified to install the Sarnafil roof membrane system by the supplier. A mandatory site
meeting was held on Thursday, May 15, 2008 with a total of eight potential bidders attending.

2007 to Sartor & Susin Ltd. be extended for a period of one year to July 31, 2009 subject
to terms, conditions and performance satisfactory to Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority (TRCA) staff.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #6107, held on July 27, 2007, Resolution #A167/07 was approved as
follows:
THAT Toronto and Region. Conservation Authority (TRCA) utilize, as required, the
services of Sartor and Susin Ltd. for the supply of operated heavy construction
equipment and dump trucks for the period August 1, 2007 to July 31, 2008, it being the
proposal that best meets TRCA's requirements at the lowest overall cost;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to use the next lowest tender if the need arises.
In preparation of the original tender documents, staff included a provision whereby the
successful bidder could request a one year extension to the contract at a specific maximum
percent increase or decrease to the unit prices bid.
Sartor & Susin Ltd. have requested, in•writing, a one year extension to their contract with an
overall year two increase, in the unit rates, of 5 percent.
RATIONALE
TRCA and Sartor & Susin Ltd. have worked together on numerous successful projects over
many years and through the tendering process, Sartor & Susin Ltd. have consistently provided
the lowest unit rates with a broad spectrum of equipment and fully experienced operators.
Staff has reviewed the proposed new rate structure, in conjunction with a performance review,
and are satisfied that the requested 5 percent increase is indicative of overall industry operating
cost increases and are warranted.
FINANCIAL DETAILS

AQUATIC PARK SAILING CLUB
2008 -2010 License Agreement. As part of the ongoing management
program at Tommy Thompson Park, staff has outlined the proposed
2008 -2010 license agreement with the Aquatic Park Sailing Club.
Suzan Hall
Maja Prentice
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority (TRCA) enter into the 2008 -2010 License Agreement with the Aquatic Park
Sailing Club;
AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take action required to
implement the Aquatic Park Sailing Club lease agreement at Tommy Thompson Park,
including the signing and execution of documents.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Aquatic Park Sailing Club (APSC) is a small community sailing club that has leased a
portion of the waterlot and landbase at Tommy Thompson Park (TTP) since 1976. Historically
this lease was reviewed and .executed by the Authority on an annual basis as a component of
the Interim Management Program at Tommy Thompson Park. In 1997, the APSC requested
that their Licence Agreement be extended for a three -year term with a set fee schedule for that
time period. Staff was of the opinion that a multi -year lease would be appropriate, and
developed a three -year lease which was approved at Authority Meeting #2/99, held on
February 26, 1999. The conversion of the annual Licence Agreement to a three -year Licence
Agreement has been beneficial to both the APSC and TRCA. It has allowed both the APSC
and TRCA staff the ability to forecast budgets and fee schedules more effectively. The last
Licence Agreement was for the 2005 -2008 term and was approved at Authority Meeting #3/05,
held on April 29, 2005 by Resolution #A75/05 as follows:
THAT staff be directed to execute the 2005 -2007 Licence Agreement with the Aquatic
Park Sailing Club;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to take whatever action is required in connection
with the Aquatic Park Sailing Club lease agreement at Tommy Thompson Park, including
the execution of all necessary documentation required.
The Club has again committed to.an annual financial contribution to the shuttle van service for
the lease period. The Club also assists staff with a variety of projects including litter clean -up,
tree wrapping for protection against beaver damage and naturalization initiatives around the
leased area.
The conditions of the proposed 2008 -2010 Licence Agreement will be the same as used in
previous years. Vehicle parking on site and access during public hours will be'limited to' three
(3) weekends in the spring and three (3) weekends in the fall to facilitate dock installation and
removal. During public hours outside the above, the Aquatic Park Sailing Club members must
• park their vehicles at the Leslie Street parking area. During non - public hours (i.e. Monday to
Friday), vehicular access to leased land will be granted to members of the Club upon proof of
membership and key privileges.
416
A fee schedule for the three -year lease period has been established with an annual increase of
2.5 %, per year for 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively. This annual rate of increase is based on
previous negotiations with the Club, TTP staff, TRCA Conservation Lands and Property
Services staff and the City of Toronto Sailing Club fee schedule. The following is the proposed
fee schedule:
2008 $9,784.26 ( +$238.64 or 2.50% increase from 2007)
2009 $10,028.87 ( +$244.61 or 2.50% increase from 2008)
2010 $10,279.59 ( +$250.72 or 2.50% increase from 2009).
In addition to the annual lease payments, the APSC will continue to provide TRCA with a
minimum annual $2,500 contribution to help offset the costs of the shuttle van service. In light
of the rising fuel costs, TRCA staff has requested that the APSC increase their contribution to
the shuttle van to a sum of $3,000 for 2008. TRCA staff and the APSC will assess the
contribution annually to determine whether future increases are required. The APSC also
contribute financially to additional projects as they arise, such as restoration planting, shoreline
works and site improvements. The Club also offers its facilities to TRCA and our programs free
of charge. The Aquatic Park Sailing Club has agreed to the terms and conditions of the
2008 -2010 Licence Agreement.
RATIONALE
As in previous years, staff is of the opinion that a three -year Licence Agreement would be
appropriate. The Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan has been approved and includes the
APSC in its present form. The APSC appreciates the. longer term commitment from TRCA. and
a three -year lease will allow the Club the ability to forecast their budget and fee schedule more
effectively. Further, the Club has again committed to an annual contribution to the shuttle van
service for the lease period, and the Club members volunteer for a variety of work days, to
improve Tommy Thompson Park. A three -year term will also allow TRCA the ability to forecast
revenue for Tommy Thompson Park and will reduce the administration associated with
executing the lease on an annual basis.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Revenue generated from the lease agreement with the Club will be used to defray park
operating costs including, staffing, monitoring and interpretive activities as part of the Tommy
Thompson Park Interim Management Program (Account 210 -19). The annual shuttle van
contribution by the Club will be used to directly offset the cost of the park shuttle van service.

CITY OF TORONTO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Automated Watercourse Monitoring Network. Approval to enter into a
Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Toronto to implement an
Automated Watercourse Monitoring Network.
Ron Moeser
Jack Heath
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority (TRCA) enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of
Toronto for the design, construction, monitoring and maintenance of an automated
watercourse monitoring network for the City's wet weather flow monitoring initiatives;
THAT the MOU be on terms and conditions satisfactory to TRCA staff and as necessary,
its solicitors;
AND FURTHER THAT TRCA authorized signing officers be directed to take such action as
is necessary to execute the MOU including obtaining all necessary approvals and signing
of documents.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND •
The City of Toronto completed its Wet Weather Flow Management Master Plan (WWFMMP),
which utilizes various control strategies to manage combined sewer overflows and stormwater
discharges. Toronto Water is now undertaking a 25 -year monitoring plan to install and operate
several watercourse monitoring stations within the City's jurisdiction for the purpose of
assessing tributary water quality /quantity before and after the implementation of the City's
WWFMMP strategies.
Because TRCA has.extensive expertise and an on -going role in the monitoring of watercourses
within TRCA's jurisdiction, the City has asked TRCA to enter into an agreement to lead the
implementation of fourteen automated water quality /quantity monitoring stations strategically
located across the City (Attachment 1), as well as conduct all construction and monitoring
related duties.
TRCA will design and construct the automated monitoring network, conduct all field services,
provide technical expertise and basic statistical analysis, and seasonal. summary reports.
RATIONALE
TRCA has specialized expertise in automated watercourse monitoring and can therefore cost
effectively support the City in their Wet Weather Flow Management Master Plan program. Both
TRCA and the City have mutual environmental protection goals and have had a long history of
successful past partnerships. TRCA will have full disclosure to all the data collected as part of

Suzan Hall
Maja Prentice
THE EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDS THAT staff be directed to implement the 2008 work plan
of the York -Peel- Durham - Toronto (YPDT) Groundwater Management Program;
THAT the existing three -year contract with Earthfx Incorporated to provide ongoing
groundwater flow modeling, database and website management services to the program
be renewed for a further three years, at a cost not to exceed $200,000, plus applicable
taxes, per calendar year, subject to performance satisfactory to Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff;
THAT a contract be negotiated with the University of Waterloo for a partnership in the
new Groundwater Resource Management Chair for a period of three years, at a cost not
to exceed $50,000 per year;
AND FURTHER THAT a contract be negotiated with Water and Earth Science Associates
to assist with the migration of the Provincial Groundwater Monitoring data into the
database at a cost not to exceed $30,000, plus applicable taxes.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The YPDT Groundwater Management Study was initiated in 2000 as a partnership between the
regions of York, Peel, and Durham, and the City of Toronto, and the associated six
conservation authorities (Credit Valley, Toronto and Region, Lake Simcoe Region, Kawartha
Region, Ganaraska Region and Central Lake. Ontario) with . a view to arriving at consistency in
groundwater management both from a technical and analytical perspective as well as from a
policy and management perspective. With similar goals and objectives, staff, acting on behalf
of the Conservation Authorities Moraine Coalition, (CAMC) are also directing groundwater work
across the entire Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM).
The joint YPDT /CAMC groundwater team referred to in this staff report now currently consists
of three full time contract staff members, the hydrogeological and planning staff members from
the various partner agencies, as well as a core team of consultants from Earthfx Inc. The full
time staff are employees of CLOCA, which provides all of the staffing resources for this project.
Project initiatives that are tied more closely to the interests of the four municipal partners are
part of the YPDT study and are approved by TRCA, while projects tied more closely to the
overall moraine study are approved by CLOCA. -
421
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 modeling and policy
development. A large part of the program's success 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.
Since its inception in 1999 the project has transitioned through two stages:
• Stage 1 -1999 to 2001 - this stage bf work was undertaken by a consultant team and was
focused on identifying issues related to groundwater management and protection.
The work culminated in a report (AMEC Earth and Environmental et al., 2001) that
documented some of the groundwater work taking place in other jurisdictions across
Canada and the United States. The report also inventoried and prioritized areas and
issues to be considered for additional work.
• Stage 2 - 2001 to 2007 - this stage of work has been characterized by developing and
building an analysis system that includes several well defined tools required for
understanding and managing the groundwater flow system across the area (e.g.
-database, digital geology, groundwater flow model).
The YPDT /CAMC project is now moving into a third stage:
• Stage 3 - 2008 to 2013 - This stage,of work will focus on implementing the tools within
various upcoming groundwater studies that arise in the next few years. This stage will
also focus on infilling geological and hydrogeological data gaps and on maintaining
and updating the available tools.
The purpose of this report is to provide a brief update on the accomplishments of the
groundwater program in 2007 and to obtain support for the planned 2008 initiatives that the
YPDT Technical Steering Committee has recommended at its past meeting, including retaining
required consulting resources. The YPDT Technical Steering Committee is comprised of
hydrogeological and planning staff from the City of Toronto, Peel, Durham and York regions as
well as the six associated conservation authorities.
2007 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
An annotated list of some of the 2007 accomplishments is presented below:
Groundwater Flow Modeling - in 2007 modeling work was focused in the Region of Durham
to provide a similar level of understanding that has been accomplished through York Region
and the City of Toronto (2004) and in Peel Region in 2006. The Durham modeling work is
largely completed and the consultant to the project is completing the report. Through 2007 the
groundwater flow model has been used to support:
• the York - Durham Southeast Collector sewer project;
• Source Water Protection Vulnerable Area delineation (wellhead capture zones) for
municipal supply wells in Peel and York regions;
• Source Water Protection Tier 1 Water Budgeting carried out by CLOCA and by TRCA.
422
Database - Through 2007 additional temporal data, most notably from York Region, have
been added to the database. New boreholes have been opportunistically added to the
database. As an example, the boreholes drilled for the Southeast Collector project in York and
Durham Regions have been incorporated.- In 2007, with provincial funding, the database was
expanded northward to include the entire area of the South Georgian Bay Lake Simcoe and
Trent Coalition Source Water Protection Regions, thus enabling them to continue to rely on the
YPDT -CAMC database as a key foundation for groundwater work in the area.
Reporting
Progress has been made on a number of reports:
• Use of Groundwater Flow Model - In 2007, an effort was made to address the
concerns of the Ministry of the Environment (Central Region) with respect to the use
of the YPDT -CAMC program's groundwater flow model. A guidance document: "
Application of the Numerical Groundwater Flow Model - Considerations" has been
written to provide direction on how the YPDT -CAMC analysis system, and in
particular the groundwater flow model, should be used.
• Geology Tracking - In 2007 a report summarizing the construction of the various
versions of the geological surfaces and the thought process that went into their
production was produced.
•• Ontario Geological Survey Reports - In 2007, collaboration continued with the Ontario
Geological Survey and two reports were published by the Ontario Geological
Survey ( "Groundwater Resources Study of the Credit River Watershed" and "An
investigation of Buried Bedrock Valley Aquifer System in the Schomberg Area of
Southern Ontario ").
• Management Reports - Two program management reports were prepared in 2007, one
being a memorandum of understanding between the partner agencies, and a
second being a report summarizing the day to day operations and future directions
of the project.
Professional presentations /seminars - YPDT /CAMC staff provided professional talks to a
variety of groups and conferences in 2007, including:
• Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation's "Moraine For Life" Symposium;
• Trent University Symposium on Source Water Protection;
• American Water Works Association conference in Toronto; and
• Water Environment Association of Ontario Symposium on Source Water Protection.
Appointments - Steve Holysh, YPDT /CAMC program manager was appointed to a twelve
member.national expert panel by the Council of Canadian Academies to address the question
"What is needed to achieve sustainable management of. Canada's groundwater resources,
from a science perspective ?" as posed by the Federal government.
2008 PROGRAM
Early in 2008, the Technical Steering Committee outlined six priority areas for future
YPDT /CAM.0 work:
• continued maintenance of tools developed;
• database maintenance and synchronization;
modelling /analyses;
• technical support for source water protection;
• geological analysis; and
423
• preparation of a report on the state of water resources across the ORM.
These priorities were discussed with, and endorsed by, the commissioners of Public Works
and Planning for the four senior partner agencies (York, Peel, Durham and Toronto) at the April
25, 2008 Executive Steering Committee meeting. The 2008 work plan includes the following six
priority areas:
1. Memorandum of Understanding and Data Sharing
Through 2007, YPDT staff worked with a team of legal representatives from York, Peel,
Durham and Toronto to build a memorandum of understanding for the YPDT /CAMC
Groundwater Management Program. This document has been finalized and is in the
process of being signed by all 13 partner agencies. Among other things, the document
sets out a procedure for external sharing of the data and information that has been
amassed by the program over the past eight years. The YPDT /CAMC team will meet with
the hydrogeological community in the fall of 2008 to establish a framework for data sharing
between the program and external consulting companies. This will broaden the input to the
program, allowing more professionals to directly input to the study.
2. University Partnership
A research chair in Groundwater Resource Management is being established at the
University of.Waterloo. In keeping with the Stage 3 direction of implementation, as outlined
above, staff believe that it would be beneficial for the YPDT team to be a part of this new
initiative. Therefore, it is recommended that YPDT /CAMC staff negotiate a three -year
contract between TRCA (as lead agency) and the University of Waterloo, at a cost not to
exceed $50,000 per year. This will allow staff to input into the type of research.that is
required to improve Ontario's overall groundwater management. In becoming a partner,
staff hope to attract the University's many world renowned groundwater researchers and
their students to work within the Greater Toronto Area using the groundwater analysis
system that has been developed for this important groundwater management project.
3. Provincial Groundwater Monitoring Network (PGMN) Data
Since it was established some five years ago, groundwater levels and chemistry data have
been collected at many designated wells across the Oak Ridges Moraine area. In 2008,
this information needs to be incorporated into the program database so that it can be
available to the entire project team for model calibration and validation. YPDT /CAMC staff
has had discussions with Water and Earth Science Associates (WESA) to assist the project
in this regard. WESA, and in particular Mr. Tom Killingbeck, were instrumental in
establishing the PGMN network in the early days by testing wells and installing the
necessary monitoring and telemetric equipment. WESA continue to provide PGMN
consulting to a majority of the nine conservation authorities partnered in the YPDT /CAMC
program and are therefore familiar with the data collected and any corrections or
adjustments needed to ensure high quality water level monitoring results. Given this past
experience that WESA will bring to the task, YPDT /CAMC staff are recommending that a
one year contract not to exceed $30,000, plus applicable taxes, be established with WESA •
to assist in moving the PGMN data into the program database.
424
4. Maintenance of Database and Website
Staff plan to release an updated version of the database in 2008. This will involve
incorporating new information from the Ministry of the Environment as well as new
streamflow and climate data from Environment Canada. In 2008, due to its increasing size
and complexity, the database is being migrated from Access to SQL Server. This will open
up several strategic data management possibilities, including on -line access to the
database by partner agencies which would enable ready access to products, such as the
scanned reports from the report library.
With respect to the website, staff is looking to build specific applications, for example a
dynamic cross - section tool, onto the website to standardize the geological products that
are being used by the partner agencies and their consultants. Other aspects of the
program web -site will also be evaluated over the year.•
Earthfx Inc. has been the key consultant to the program with regards to the website,
database and groundwater flow modeling. Between 2005 and 2007 the YPDT /CAMC
program had a_multi -year agreement with Earthfx Inc. The Technical Steering Committee
has reviewed the work and deliverables from Earthfx over this time and is satisfied that the
quality of the work received continues to be at a high level. The YPDT team also
recognizes that Earthfx continues to be a small specialized consulting firm and that their
capacity to deliver has been stretched at times during the past three years. To address this
capacity limitation, the YPDT /CAMC team is recommending that the work plan for 2008 with
Earthfx not include groundwater flow modeling (see below). Given their valuable
experience on the project, staff is recommending that the existing multi -year contract with
Earthfx be renewed for a further three years from 2008 through to 2011, at a cost not to
exceed $200,000 per year, plus applicable taxes. This contract will include geodatabase
and website management services, as well as hydrogeological interpretation and technical
assistance to the groundwater modelling consultant. As in the past, the Technical Steering
Committee will review deliverables from Earthfx on a regular basis, and on an annual basis,
assign consulting tasks to Earthfx.
5. Groundwater Modelling
As mentioned above, the YPDT /CAMC program is entering a stage whereby the products
developed under the program are to be used in support of partner agency hydrogeological
projects. In this regard, the YPDT /CAMC team is proposing to initiate an applications
stream to the, groundwater modelling component of the program. Whereas Earthfx has
been the main developer of the groundwater flow model and will continue to provide
support to the future modeling development under the recommended contract above, the
addition of a new modeling consultant to assist in applications will provide several benefits
to the project:
• additional capacity to run the program's groundwater flow models;
• additional scrutiny on the groundwater flow models allowing for additional
professional input; and
• increased transfer of modeling knowledge to public sector staff.
425
With respect to this, staff is proposing to prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP) that will be
circulated to area groundwater modeling firms for bid. The RFP will be structured to. solicit
assistance in running the program's groundwater flow models with a focus on one or two
specific projects that will be approved by the Technical Steering Committee. It is
recommended that this RFP be prepared by staff and that the preferred consultant be selected
by the Technical Steering Committee. The contract will be prepared in accordance with
TRCA's Purchasing Policy.
SUMMARY
The YPDT Groundwater Management Study continues to provide an example of a successful
partnership initiative between the Federal government, the Province, municipalities and
conservation authorities. Through the initiative, the partner agencies have managed to
capitalize on the economies of scale to each agency's benefit by undertaking collective
initiatives only once rather than taking different approaches at each agency. The Oak Ridges
Moraine provides a common physiographic link to all of the partner agencies.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The three contracts (University, of Waterloo, EarthFX, WESA) recommended in this
communication total $280,000, plus applicable taxes for 2008, and can be implemented within
the current budget for the project (account code 104 -90).

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose is to construct a replacement dwelling with an attached garage and perform
grading works within a Regulated Area of the Don River Watershed. Based upon TRCA
mapping, the subject property is . partially within the Regional Flood Plain and contains a slope
feature. The floodplain area is located at the rear of the property and the proposed dwelling is
located at the top of a large slope and sufficiently setback from the floodplain.
451
As part of the associated City of Vaughan Minor Variance Application (Application No. A399/07)
TRCA staff conducted a site visit November 19, 2007 and determined that the proposed
development is located within a wide, tiered valley system and a small portion of the proposed
home extends over a gentle slope which forms part of a remnant vegetated draw feature
located along the northern side yard of the subject property. The inner portion of the draw
feature is well vegetated and the proposed works will result in the removal of some of the
ornamental vegetation found at the edge / end of this vegetated area. The furthest extent of the
proposed works to the rear of the property is located over 5 metres away from a significantly
steeper and deeper slope feature found in the rear yard of the subject property.
TRCA staff staked the existing top -of -bank December 6, 2007 and a Geotechnical / Slope
• Stability Assessment prepared by Soil Engineers Ltd., revise dated February 28, 2008 states
that the existing top -of -bank as staked by the TRCA can be considered as the long -term stable
top -of -bank and that the proposed dwelling will not impact the stability of the slope.
As noted earlier, a small portion of the proposed home (a portion of the garage) extends over a
gentle slope which forms part of a partially vegetated draw feature. Negotiations with the
landowner and architect have included modifications to the building design and footprint to
shift the garage further from the top of bank and existing natural vegetation. The works will not
result in a significant Toss of vegetation as the area is currently sodded and the valley is already
in a highly altered state; however, some vegetation located along the edge / end of the
vegetated portion of the draw feature will be selectively removed. Compensation plantings will
be provided for this vegetation removal. The compensation planting will be composed of
native, non - invasive shrubs and trees, will extend the vegetated portion of the draw feature
toward the front of the property as well as act as a privacy barrier with the neighbouring
property.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain, there will be no impact on
the storage or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing will be erected and maintained during the duration of construction to
prevent sediment transport into the adjacent draw feature and valley system.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
A Geotechnical / Slope Stability Assessment prepared by Soil Engineers Ltd., revise dated
February 28, 2008 concluded that the proposed works will not impact the stability of the
existing slope which can also be considered as the long -term stable top of bank. •
Conservation of Land:
As a watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. The
vegetated draw feature will have some vegetation removed from the edge; however,
compensation planting will be provided to extend the vegetated portion of the draw feature
further towards the front of the property as well as provide privacy for the neighbouring
property.
452
Plantings
All disturbed areas aside from the area to be planted with woody plants, which will
extend the vegetated portion of the draw feature, will be restored to their existing
sodded condition. Compensation planting along the northern boundary of the subject
property consists of native, non - invasive species.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2. - Development & Redevelopment within Highly
Urbanized Areas - 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 site grading and the permanent placement of fill
material within a Regulated Area in order to construct an industrial building. The development
is located adjacent to a headwater tributary of the Berczy Creek in the northeast quadrant of
the community of Gormley within the Town of Whitchurch - Stouffville.
The subject lands were subdivided in the 1980's and have remained vacant since that time.
When the plan of subdivision was originally designed, the Berczy Creek tributary was
channelized and routed along the northern edge of the subject lands within a drainage
easement. The watercourse is to remain in this state and is not to be disturbed during
construction activities. A chain link fence is to be erected in order to separate the developed
area of the site from the existing watercourse, which since the 1980's has experienced the
establishment of successional riparian vegetation within the channel.
Control of Flooding:
TRCA staff have worked with the applicant in order to determine the extent of the Regional
Storm Flood Plain associated with the on -site tributary. Based upon review by TRCA Water
Management Staff, it has been determined that the Regional Storm Flood Plain will be
contained within the existing channel on the subject lands. Given that the channel is to remain
in its present condition without alteration during construction, the proposal will not have an
impact upon the storage and conveyance of flood waters.
462
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing is to be erected between the tributary and the balance of the site in
order to prevent sedimentation of the watercourse during construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical or slope stability concerns with this proposal.
Conservation of Land:
The existing riparian vegetation and channelized watercourse corridor are to be retained in the
current condition. No significant natural heritage features are to be removed as part of this
proposal.
Plantings
No plantings were required as part of this proposal, however existing vegetation is to be
retained as described above.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 G), Existing Development - Infilling, 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 purpose is to reconstruct an existing two level garage within a Regulated Area of the
Humber River Watershed. The proposal is located just outside of the Regional Storm Flood
Plain; however, based upon a site visit by TRCA staff on February 26, 2008, the footprint of the
existing garage is located along the valley wall. Based upon a slope stability study by Jagger
Hims Limited, dated May 12, 2008, the stability concerns along the slope to be built upon are
considered negligible. The study also recommends that the footings for the new garage be
constructed in competent native soil or well compacted fill and that the footings extend to the
base of the slope grade. The drawings submitted by the applicant has implemented this
recommendation.
Control of Flooding:
TRCA Water Resources engineers have determined that the proposed works are located in
close proximity to but outside of the Regional Flood Plain. There will be no impact on the flood
storage or conveyance of flood waters.

8.1.31 REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF YORK
To site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any
material, originating on the site or elsewhere on Lot 5, Concession 5, (south
west quadrant of King Road and Jane Street - Phase I), in the Township of King,
Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Regional
Municipality of York. The purpose is to construct a structure (asphalt paving,
curb and gutter, steel beam guard rail) in a Regional Storm Floodplain; to
excavate and place fill (for removing existing failed storm sewer pipes on the
west side of Kinghorn Bridge, for replacement with new storm sewer pipes with
appropriate bedding material; for restoration of the fill embankment slopes on
the west side of the Kinghorn bridge) in a Regulated Area.
The permit will be issued for the period of June 13, 2008 to June 12, 2010 in accordance with
the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
• Sheet 1 Slope and Sewer Restoration (Phase 1); dated May 20, 2008; Engineers

- 2008; Engineers Stamp May 21, 2008; received May 21, 2008; prepared by McCormick
Rankin Corporation on behalf of the Regional Municipality of York;
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
467
Proposal:
Both Phase I and Phase II of this project are classified as "Emergency Works" since the King
Road infrastructure and the storm sewer infrastructure as well as the Humber River water
quality are at risk. Phase I involves restoring the failed west bank and Phase II involves
removal of sediment from the Humber River. This file deals with Phase I approvals only. An
"Authorization for Phase I Emergency Works" letter was issued on May 22, 2008 in order for
Regional Municipality of York staff to proceed with the west side bank restoration.
A failed storm sewer pipe at the south west quadrant of King Road and Jane Street has caused
an erosion scar (approximately 10 m wide by 25 metres long) on the west side of Kinghorn
Bridge. The Regional Municipality of York needed to implement Phase I of the emergency
works starting the week of May 26, 2008 and anticipated works to continue for approximately 3
weeks into June 2008. The Emergency Works are required in order to prevent further damage
to existing road and storm sewer infrastructure (Phase I) as well as to reduce the extension of
the sediment plume into the Humber River (Phase II). A five metre section of steel beam
guide rail at the bridge structure approach is completely undermined and provides no
protection of the fill embankment or bridge. Public safety is an immediate concern.
The Regional Municipality of York's submission of May 15, 2008 indicated that the storm outfall
failure on the west side of the bridge is believed to have resulted from leakage of water from
the buried corrugated steel pipe (CSP) outfall, subsurface erosion of soil from below and
adjacent to the pipe, and subsequent collapse of the pipe and overlying soil. The submission
also indicated that the cause of the leakage has not been confirmed but may involve corrosion
of the CSP or separation of the joints due to creep movements in the slope.
Phase I of the emergency works involves removing the failed sewer pipes, replacing with
suitable backfill material and new pipes as well as the restoring the curb, gutter, asphalt
pavement and stabilizing slopes with a temporary erosion control blanket. Machinery will
access from the west and will not need to cross the river. There will be no in water works
associated with Phase I and the duration will be 2 to 3 weeks from the week of May 26.
Phase II of the emergency works involves removing the sediment plume from the Humber River
as well as restoring the east outtall which has suffered some slumping. Phase II, under another
Central File Number 40870 will involve in water works associated with the stream rehabilitation.
The duration of Phase II will be 3 to 4 weeks starting July 1, 2008 during the coldwater window
restriction due to the presence of redside dace. The Phase II Emergency Works letter has not
been issued as of the date of this report since the Consultant needs to finalize the plans for the
proposed in water works which will commence no earlier than July 1. Issuance of the
Emergency Works letter is anticipated in June 2008 after finalization of the plans and a report
for ratification for the Phase II works will be prepared for the July 11, 2008 Executive Committee
agenda.
The entire project site is located within a Regional Storm Floodplain and a Regulated Area.
Landowner authorization has been allocated for works outside the Regional Right -of -Way.
Control of Flooding:
The existing grades within the Regional Storm Floodplain will be maintained, therefore, there
will be no implications to flooding.
468
Pollution:
Standard•erosion control measures (silt fence between slope and watercourse, plugging
manhole and diverting flows) wilt be implemented to ensure that the construction - generated
sediments do not enter the watercourse during slope restoration.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There will be no slope stability issues related to the works. The proposed restoration works will
stabilize the west bank.
Conservation of Land:
There will not be any in stream works associated with Phase I of this project. The watercourse
will be isolated from the bank restoration works with a sediment fence. 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). The proposed works will impact no significant
terrestrial resource features.
Plantings
Between Phase I and Phase II the disturbed slopes will be stabilized and restored with a
temporary erosion control blanket. Ultimate restoration of all disturbed areas with
native /non- invasive species will occur during Phase II of the works which will initiate
July 1 during the coldwater timing window and will continue for 3 to 4 weeks.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing of the Authority's Valley
and Stream Corridor Management Program.

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
Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of six commercial buildings and
an outfall structure on the west side of Highway 50, south of Ebenezer Road, in the City of
Brampton. The subject property is located adjacent to a valley corridor. The limits of
development for the subject property were established through the earlier planning reviews for
this area. As such, the proposed works are setback sufficiently from the valley corridor.
Stormwater from the subject property will drain to an existing stormwater management pond
adjacent to Ebenezer Road in order to provide water quantity and quality controls.
Additionally, innovative Stormchambers will be installed on the subject property in order to
incorporate best management practices (BMPs), which were not part of the earlier planning
approvals. In addition to providing additional stormwater controls, the Stormchambers will
provide groundwater infiltration to replicate pre - development hydrology. Currently, a drainage
ditch traverses this site, which drains a portion of the Block 57/58 lands within the City of
Vaughan and a portion of Highway 50 to the adjacent valleylands. Through the subject
application, the ditch is to be enclosed and a formalized outfall structure is to be completed in
order to prevent future erosion of the valley slope. The outfall structure, designed in
accordance with TRCA's guidelines, will continue to discharge drainage from a portion of
Highway 50 and the Block 57/58 lands. At such time when the Highway.50 widening is
completed, a Stormceptor unit is to be installed to provide stormwater quality treatment for the
471
Highway 50 drainage prior to entering the proposed outfall. Appropriate stormwater quantity
and quality controls will be implemented at such time when future development on Block 57/58
lands is proposed. As such, there are no flooding, geotechnical, or ecology related concerns
with this application. Plantings are proposed within the valley corridor, surrounding the
proposed outfall structure and within the buffer in order to provide a net ecological gain with
this application.

Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the repair of a spillway structure located within an
online pond at 19353 Glen Haffy Road, in the Town of Caledon. Currently, a slump in the
native material at the bottom of the pond has caused the majority of the pond water to bypass
the spillway structure, which regulates the pond water level. As a result, the current pond level
is quite low and is affecting waterquality and fish habitat. Prior to initiating works, pond levels
will be lowered by slowly removing a key in the spillway structure. This will maintain the
baseflow of the upstream creek and ensure the work area is dry. In order to repair the spillway,
clay material will be compacted and a bentofix liner will be placed in the area of the slumpage
to reinstate the spillway control structure. Please note that the proposed works will not result in
a Harmful, Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. A Letter of Advice on
behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be issued with this permit to ensure
compliance with the Federal Fisheries Act. The proposed works will improve the current
ecological state of the pond by returning the pond water level to its previous state. There are
no flooding, geotechnical, or ecology related concerns with this proposal.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are located within the Regional Floodplain. TRCA Water Resources staff
have confirmed that this proposal will not have any significant impacts to the storage and /or

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
This permit application is one of four before the Executive Committee at this meeting pertaining
to Phase 1 of the South Fields (Mayfield West) community in the Town of Caledon. A previous
permit application was brought forward to, and approved by the Executive Committee at the
April 11,2008 meeting for initial site grading and temporary stormwater management works.
The four permits presently before the Executive Committee for consideration are to facilitate the
realignment and reconstruction of Kennedy Road through the South Fields Community -
portions of which are within TRCA's Regulated areas, to facilitate the connection of new
realigned sections of two Etobicoke Creek headwater tributaries within this phase, and to
facilitate the construction of permanent stormwater management infrastructure. This permit is
to facilitate the reconstruction, enhancement and renaturalization of Tributaries 18 and 19 of
the Etobicoke Creek through Phase one of the South Fields community.
South Fields (Mayfield West) is a planned new community located within the Town of Caledon,
north of the Highway 410 extension, South of King Street, between the Etobicoke Creek valley
to,the west, and Dixie Road to the East. TRCA staff have worked with the Town of Caledon as
well as the proponents for the past several years in the planning of this community. Phase one
of the South Fields Community, which is comprised of four plans of subdivision, is now
proceeding through planning approvals, based upon the draft approvals attained through the
Ontario Municipal Board earlier this year. As noted in the April 11, 2008 permit report for
pre - servicing works on the subject property, TRCA staff were successful in attaining conditions
of approval that were agreeable to all parties outside of the formal hearing process. Both the
Town of Caledon and the proponents have expressed their desire to move quickly through the
approval process for these subdivisions.
As part of the master planning process for the South Fields community, an assessment of the
headwater watercourse features within the proposed community was conducted by the
consulting team. This assessment identified that opportunities existed through this
development to enhance the function of some of the existing headwater watercourse features.
In exchange, some features which were deemed to have a lesser significance and function
were identified by the consultants for removal. The restoration of portions of Tributaries 18 and
19, were among those targeted for enhancement and renaturalization. A portion of the works
associated with the restoration and enhancement of these tributaries was included with the
permit approved by the Executive Committee at the April 11, 2008 meeting. The remainder of
the works, which includes the connection of the new channel corridors - that are to be
constructed off -line of the existing watercourses, to the existing corridors - are part of this

property owned by South Fields Community Inc.. The purpose is to undertake
works within a Regulated area in order to facilitate the realignment of Kennedy
road, north of Mayfield Road in the Town of Caledon, and the removal and
replacement of an existing culvert under Kennedy Road.
The permit will be issued for the period of June 13, 2008 to June 12, 2010.
• Letter of undertaking provided by Jim Gardner, Director of Engineering and Site
Servicing, Monarch Corporation, dated June 10, 2008, to address outstanding TRCA
Ecology and Engineering requirements, prior to the issuance of this permit.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
This permit application is one of four before the Executive Committee at this meeting pertaining
to Phase 1 of the South Fields (Mayfield West) community in the Town of Caledon. A previous
permit application was brought forward to, and approved by the Executive Committee at the
April 11, 2008 meeting for initial site grading and temporary stormwater management works.
The four permits presently before the Executive Committee for consideration are to facilitate the
realignment and reconstruction of Kennedy Road through the South Fields Community -
portions of which are within TRCA's Regulated areas, to facilitate the connection of new
realigned sections of two Etobicoke Creek headwater tributaries within this phase, and to
facilitate the construction of permanent stormwater management infrastructure. This permit is
to facilitate the realignment and reconstruction of a portion of Kennedy Road, within TRCA's
Regulated areas.
South Fields (Mayfield West) is a planned new community located within the Town of Caledon,
north of the Highway 410 extension, South of King Street, between the Etobicoke Creek valley
to the west, and Dixie Road to the East. TRCA staff have worked with the Town of Caledon as
well as the proponents for the past several years in the planning of this community. Phase one
of the South Fields Community, which.is comprised of four plans of subdivision, is now
proceeding through planning approvals, based upon the draft approvals attained through the
Ontario Municipal Board earlier this year. As noted in the April 11, 2008 permit report for
pre - servicing works on the subject property, TRCA staff were successful in attaining conditions
of approval that were agreeable to all parties outside of the formal hearing process. Both the
Town of Caledon and the proponents have expressed their desire to move quickly through the
approval process for these subdivisions.
491
An Environmental Assessment (Schedule C) was completed for the proposed Kennedy Road
realignment. TRCA staff reviewed the materials relating to this Environmental Assessment
(EA), and provided comments on the proposed design. As not all of TRCA's comments were
fully addressed prior to the completion of the EA. These items will need to be addressed to the
satisfaction of TRCA staff prior to this permit being released. TRCA staff are continuing
discussions with the proponents to refine the scope and design of the proposed works, to
ensure that they meet TRCA's requirements. Although it is anticipated that there may be
additional modifications to the drawings associated with this permit prior to issuance, TRCA
staff are satisfied that the remaining items can be addressed in the near future. Due to the
required timelines for this project, the works identified under this permit must commence in
advance of the next Executive Committee meeting, (which would provide the next opportunity
for this permit application to be considered). Should the outstanding issues not be addressed
in advance of this Executive Committee meeting, the proponent will be providing a letter of
'undertaking to address all outstanding TRCA issues prior to the issuance of the permit. Of
principal issue to TRCA staff will be to ensure that the proposed span of the new Kennedy
Road culvert meets the intent of the enhancement plan for Tributary 19 of the Etobicoke Creek,
which is being completed upstream and downstream of this new crossing, as part of the
required terrestrial and aquatic compensation and enhancement plan for this area of South
Fields. A component of this plan is to enhance fish passage through. the new culvert, and to
create additional direct fish habitat upstream of the proposed culvert.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works will be partially located within the Regulatory Floodplain, however, the
replacement culvert has been sized to convey necessary flood flows, and to enhance the
current flood conveyance capacity of this crossing. Consequently, improvements to flood
storage and conveyance are anticipated with the new Kennedy Road culvert.
Pollution:
Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures are to be installed and maintained during
all phases of construction. All in -water works, as well as all works directly adjacent to Tributary
19, will be completed within the Cold Water Fisheries Timing Window.
Dynamic Beaches:

Proposal:
The proposal involves the installation of a liner within an existing 30m length x 1200mm
diameter corrugated steel pipe (CSP). The proposed liner will be .a 30 m length x 900 mm
diameter High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and there will be grouting of the annular
space. The site is within a Regional Storm Floodplain. Works will involve the excavation and
fill placement for a sediment basin on the west side in order to catch the debris within the
culvert. As well, fill will be removed to expose the culvert for launching from the west to east in
a Regulated Area. A plunge pool will also be constructed on the west end since this culvert
acts as the outfall from the stormwater management pond on the east side of Keele Street. If
there are flows during the two day work window during the summer, the tributary of Don River
will also be altered temporarily during the coldwater timing window (July 1 to September 15)
through a dam and pump around method in order to isolate the works from the watercourse
during liner installation.
The Regional Municipality of York staff classify this project as a Schedule A Environmental
Assessment. This project has been reviewed under the Environmental Assessment Act,
Ontario Regulation 166 and under the Fisheries Act for the tests and best management
practices.

This section of Keele Street between King- Vaughan Road and King Road is located in the .
Greenbelt and on the Oak Ridges Moraine within the "Settlement Area." All watercourses on
the Oak Ridges Moraine have been identified as hydrologically sensitive features. 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). The
Regional Municipality of York staff classify this project as a Schedule A Environmental
Assessment. This project has been reviewed under the Environmental Assessment Act,
Ontario Regulation 166 and under the Fisheries Act for the tests and best management
practices.

Control of Flooding :
Staff has reviewed the hydraulics for the proposed liner and has determined that there will not
be any negative impacts to flooding.
Pollution:
Standard erosion control measures (pea gravel coffer dam, pump, conduit, filter bag, sediment
basin, silt fence) will be implemented to ensure that the construction - generated sediments do
not enter the watercourse.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There will be no slope stability issues related to the works.
Conservation of Land:
There will be in stream works associated with this project. The watercourse will be temporarily
altered with a dam and pump around method (if there is flow during installation in the summer
months) in order to isolate the construction works from the watercourse during the relining of
the existing culvert. With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a harmful
alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of
Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The
proposed works will impact no significant terrestrial resource features.
Plantings
All disturbed areas will be restored with native /non- invasive species following
construction.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing of the Authority's Valley
and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
530
Proposal:
The proposal involves the installation of a liner within an existing 12m length x 1200mm
diameter corrugated steel pipe (CSP). The proposed liner will be a 13 m length x 900 mm
diameter High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and there will be grouting of the annular
space. The site is within a Regional Storm Floodplain. Works will involve the excavation and
fill placement for a sediment basin on the west side in order to catch the debris within the
culvert. As well fill will be removed to expose the culvert for launching from the east to the west
in a Regulated Area. The wetland will be altered temporarily during installation of the liner and
the wetland will be restored post construction. If there are flows during the two day work
window during the summer, the tributary of Humber River will also be altered temporarily
during the coldwater timing window (July 1 to September 15) through a dam and pump around
method in order to isolate the works from the watercourse during liner installation.
This section of Weston Road between 15th Sideroad and 16th Sideroad is located in the •
Greenbelt and on the Oak Ridges Moraine within the "Natural Core Area." All watercourses
on the Oak Ridges Moraine have been identified as hydrologically sensitive features. Section

AND FURTHER THAT a presentation be made at Executive Committee Meeting #7/08, to
be held on September 5, 2008 with an overview of the conference.
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. TRCA members
have requested that a presentation be made to the appropriate committee upon returning.
RATIONALE
The International Conference on Flood Recovery Innovation and Response will bring together
researchers and practitioners to discuss the latest advances in flood management. The
conference will address the following themes: Risk Management in Relation to Flood Events
and Climate Change; Pre -event Planning & Business Continuity; Management of Major Events;
Post Damage Restoration and Recovery; Victims of Flooding; and International & National
Government Policy.
546
Laurian Farrell is a Manager, Water Resources in the Water Management section of the
Ecology division at TRCA and is the Flood Forecasting and Warning Program Coordinator. In
addition to attending the technical training sessions for professional development, Ms. Farrell
will be presenting a paper which will be published in the conference proceedings.
TRCA is responsible for providing flood messages to our member municipalities and to
approximately 5 million residents of the Toronto region. The goal of the flood forecasting and
warning system is to increase the level of service provided to the public in the future (by
increasing access to information and by improving our understanding of the watershed's
response to rain events). Current practices in the United Kingdom (UK) and other major cities
provide excellent models on which TRCA may build an improved flood forecasting' and warning
program. In addition to attending the conference, Ms. Farrell will be visiting the offices of the
UK Environmental Agency to learn about their flood forecasting and warning program;
including the UK's response to recent major flood events and their extensive public outreach
programming.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Cost to attend the conference including travel (by air), conference registration (at a reduced
rate due to staff participation in the proceedings), meals and accommodations are estimated to
be $4,200 plus applicable taxes. The funds are identified in the 2008 Capital Budget and will

RE: REPLACEMENT OF EXTERIOR DOORS AND ONE WINDOW
Former Jacobs Property, 9330 Pine Valley Drive, Woodbridge
KEY ISSUE
Award of contract for the replacement of the exterior doors and one window for a Toronto and

RECOMMENDATION
THAT the contract for the replacement of the exterior doors and one window at 9330 Pine
Valley Drive, Woodbridge, be awarded to Weida Windows Industries for a cost not to
exceed $9,939.05 plus applicable taxes.
BACKGROUND
The doors and one remaining window at the above -noted property are in need of replacement
due to age. These doors are very drafty and are a cause for heat loss. The windows were
replaced last year and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff proceeded to
contact the same installer and one other installer to provide TRCA with prices to replace the
doors and one remaining window. The contractors contacted were as follows:
• George Kent Home Improvements Ltd.
• Weida Windows Industries
The quotations received were as follows:
CONTRACTOR
QUOTE
George Kent Home Improvement Ltd.
$7,580.95, plus applicable taxes
Weida Windows Industries
$9,939.05, plus applicable taxes
FINANCIAL DETAILS
After comparing the two quotes provided, staff is recommending that the contract be awarded
to Weida Windows Industries at a cost not to exceed $9,939.05, plus applicable taxes. Staff is
recommending this company because they did spend a considerable amount of time to record
the style of doors requested by the tenant. They are also the installer that replaced all of the
windows last year. They were very professional and demonstrated excellent workmanship.
The lowest bidder would have to return to the site and sit down with the tenants to obtain this
information. To avoid any further delay it is recommended that we award the contract to Weida
Windows Industries. There is a 6 to 8 week delivery time and TRCA staff would like to have the
windows installed before the fall.

Funds are available in the TRCA rental budget.

Dear Gerri Lynn
As you are no doubt aware, I was the Co -Chair for the Duffins - Carruthers Watershed Resource
Group and Implementation Committee.
I have had an opportunity to review the TRCA response to the Growing Durham report which I
understand is on the Executive agenda for this Friday. As committee members, we support a
precautionary approach which would protect the headwaters of Carruthers.
In particular, David Burnett points out that the environmental analysis done in 2003 for the
downstream urbanized portions of Carruthers was based on the assumption that the headwaters
would remain in its natural and agricultural state.
Our committee supports the TRCA position that the draft OP amendment policies should support
an update to the Watershed Plan as a prerequisite to the approval of any secondary plans.
Yours truly

Hello Brian and Carolyn,
Please see revised amended motion that I wish to put forward at the
meeting on Friday. Kindly have copies available for committee members.
I would also ask that some maps be available so that the Committee can
see clearly the area being referred to. I will also be asking some
questions such as downstream impacts of urbanization of these lands,
potential costs for updating the plan and what the likely conclusions
will be? It may be worthwhile to have a brief staff presentation so
that members have a good understanding of the issues.
Thanks for your consideration. See you Friday.

RECOMMENDATION
WHEREAS the Growing Durham report recommended /preferred growth scenario
(Attachment 1) includes 1,454 hectares of new lands in the City of Pickering, much of
which is located in the headwaters of the Carruthers Creek watershed;
WHEREAS the scenario analysis evaluation excluded the previously defined
environmental criteria from consideration in the scenario evaluation;
WHEREAS it appears that the provincial Growth Plan targets for intensification within the
existing urban boundary and for density targets within the proposed new greenfield lands
are not being met by the required dates;
WHEREAS A Watershed Plan for the Duffins Creek and Carruthers Creek (2003)
watersheds identified the headwaters of the Carruthers Creek as an area of high
sensitivity and the Duffins Creek and Carruthers Creek Task Force recommended a
precautionary approach , however, as the
Watershed Plan did not consider urbanization north of Ajax's urban boundary;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS
TO THE AUTHORITY THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
take a precautionary approach to ufbanizatien -in the upper Carruthers Creek watershed in
order to protect and enhance the remaining environmental attributes and to prevent
potentially expensive infrastructure remediation projects in the lower reaches of the creek
in the existing downstream Ajax community;
THAT the City of Pickering be encouraged to carefully consider under its award - winning
Sustainable Pickering Initiative, the full social, financial o oconemio and environmental
implications of developing northeast Pickering;
THAT TRCA supperts suggests the Growing Durham report be further
refined ment to exclude the upper watershed of Carruthers Creek from of the
recommended /preferred Scenario
•
557
THAT - - staff analyze the information
available for the upper Carruthers Creek watershed, including but not limited to the
groundwater features and functions and the findings of the York - Durham -Peel- Toronto
Groundwater Study, the objectives of the Provincial Drinking Water Source Protection Initiative
with respect to protecting Lake Ontario -based water intakes, the opportunities to implement the
2005 Ontario Biodiversity Plan and the status of the Federal initiative to further protect the
Redside Dace (as this watershed still supports such habitat), and prepare a report to the
Executive Committee in September 2008 explaining the many reasons why this upper
watershed should be protected from urbanization;
AND FURTHER THAT a copy of this report be sent to the Region of Durham, the five
.conservation authorities within Durham Region, the Town of Ajax, the City of Pickering,
• the Environment Commissioner of Ontario and to the ministries of Municipal Affairs and
Housing, Natural Resources and Public Infrastructure Renewal and Energy.

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the
Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010.
Recently the Town of Caledon adopted Official Plan Amendment 208, which is the Mayfield
West Secondary Plan. The plan is the result of a comprehensive exercise that began in the
mid- 1990's and was conducted concurrently with the development of the Region of Peel's
Official Plan. Both plans anticipate development in Mayfield West to accommodate planned
population and employment growth to 2021. The Mayfield West area is approximately 444
hectares in size with an anticipated population of approximately 9,000 in 2,845 dwelling units.
The land being donated is designated as Environmental Policy Area in the plan and the land
being retained by Speirs Farm Corporation is designated as General Industrial and Greenway
Corridor.
Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.
566
Two other reports are part of the agenda package for consideration of adjacent properties.
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 subject property is part of a mature forest which is the largest wooded area in the Mayfield
West Community Secondary Plan study area. Sugar maple is the dominant canopy species.
Other notable tree species included, white ash, American beech, ironwood, white elm, blue
beech and white birch.. The upland portion of the woodlot gives way to a red maple mineral
deciduous swamp with silver maple as an associate.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Obtained Notice of Determination of Fair Market Value of an Ecological Gift from Environment
Canada in compliance with the Ecological Gift Program.
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
Based on our preliminary review of the environmental criteria for lands that are eligible to
receive a property tax exemption under the provincial Conservation Land Tax Incentive
Program, it would appear that all of the subject property would be eligible for exemption for the
2009 taxation year. Staff will prepare a management strategy for the woodlot once the
conveyances have been completed. Funding is available in the Region of Peel land care
account.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal is to excavate and install foundation shoring to facilitate the.first phase of
construction of a mixed use development. The subject property is located on the north side of
Lake Shore Boulevard West, east of Legion Road, west of Mimico Creek and south of the
City -owned recently demolished "Sonar" treatment facility site. The "Bonar" site is currently
subject to an on -going Environmental Assessment to identify a preferred alternative for a water
quality treatment facility and recreation uses. The mixed use development (not part of this
permit) is subject to on -going City of Toronto and TRCA review and approvals. The subject
property is appropriately zoned for the use, was until recently developed with an industrial
building, and is located within the spill area of the Mimico Creek floodplain. The zoning
approval was based upon a comprehensive flood remediation program approved by TRCA staff
that would remove this and other nearby sites from the spill area. The review of the proposed
mixed use development has included a further detailed comprehensive flood remediation plan
and this plan includes detailed grading for the subject property, Legion Road and a portion of
the "Bonar" site in order to remove the subject property from the spill area. This plan has been
substantially approved by TRCA staff. However, the proposed flood remediation works need to
be secured prior to moving forward with the permit for the mixed use development. TRCA staff
are comfortable that the approval of this permit for excavation and shoring will not compromise
any further TRCA permit applications or City approvals, both of which are imminent, and will be
consistent with City's excavation and shoring permit. The. development of the foundations and
remainder of the mixed use development will be subject to a separate TRCA permit at a later
date.
584
Control of Flooding:
The proposal for excavation and installation of foundation shoring will result in the lowering of
grades on the subject property. As such, the proposal will have no impact on the storage or
conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Temporary erosion control has been provided per the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area
Conservation Authorities, Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction.
There are no geotechnical issues with the proposal.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
The subject property is in immediate proximity to Lake Ontario and erosion of the watercourse
is not of concern.
Conservation of Land:
The subject property was, until recently, fully developed with an industrial building in an urban
context. The proposal will have no impact on the conservation of land.
Plantings
Off site renaturalization has been secured by the City of Toronto.
• Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2., Development within Non - Established /Highly
Urbanized Areas, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
This is a re- issuance of an existing permit which expires in September 2008, in order to allow
the City to complete the works. The purpose of the project is to replace the Rosemount
Heights Combined Sewer in the City of Toronto from Douglas Crescent to the North Toronto
Sanitary Trunk Sewer. Construction methods will include both open cut and directional drilling.
The existing Rosemount Heights combined sewer was constructed in the 1930's to service the
surrounding developed areas, the sewer crosses under the Don River and is difficult to
maintain. It is presently in poor condition, and a number of failures have occurred in recent
years. A Class Environmental Assessment for this project was conducted in 1996 to evaluate
:alternatives for replacing the combined sewer, the City of Toronto updated this Class EA in
2005. The combined sewer will ultimately function as a sanitary sewer following the
development and implementation of stormwater management in the Rosemount Heights area.

A portion of the proposed sewer will be installed across Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority (TRCA) property and will run through Reid Manor Park within the Lower Don River
parklands. The Reid Manor Park lands are owned by TRCA and managed by the City of
Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department. The City of Toronto has formally
requested a permanent easement from TRCA for the sewer, between Bayview Avenue and
Millwood Road, west of Don Valley Parkway. An archaeological investigation has been
completed by TRCA's Archaeology staff.
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.

TRCA staff, revegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant material in accordance
with existing TRCA landscaping guidelines. The landscape and planting plan will be
coordinated by The City of Toronto Parks Department. A net ecological gain will be
achieved for this site, which will include invasive species management.

Storm Flood Plain; however, the surveyed elevation is within the 0.5 metre margin of error
inherent within TRCA floodmapping. As such, the replacement dwelling has been built to a
floodproofing level of the Regional Flood Elevation plus 0.3 metre freeboard (230.2 m.a.s.I.) and
limited to an overall expansion in floor area of 50% over the existing dwelling.
As no grading works will occur and excess fill material will be removed from the subject
.property as redlined on the Site Plan, there will be no impacts on flood storage and conveyance
capacity.
Control of Flooding:
According to our mapping, the proposed works are located within the Regional Storm Flood
Plain; however, given the Topographical Survey produced by the applicant and the margin of
error on TRCA floodmapping, TRCA water resources engineering staff are satisfied that the
proposed development will not have a impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained during the duration of demolition of
the existing dwelling and construction of the replacement dwelling to prevent sediment from
entering the adjacent watercourse and stormwater drainage system.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
. 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 area will be restored to the existing sodded condition or enhanced over
existing conditions with shrubs or trees and will not affect any significant natural
features.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 D) - Replacement Structures - of the Authority's
Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to alter a watercourse, fill, regrade and develop to facilitate the construction of a
commercial plaza, stormwater management pond and wetland treatment facility.
The permit will be issued for the period of July 11, 2008 to July 10, 2010 in accordance with the
following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
• Letter of Undertaking from RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, committing to
completing all outstanding TRCA technical requirements and completion and
registration of a Hydro One easement to satisfaction of TRCA staff, dated June 24,
2008, received June 26, 2008.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal is to alter a watercourse, fill, regrade and develop to facilitate the construction of a
commercial plaza, stormwater management pond and wetland treatment facility. The subject
property is located on the south west corner of Taunton Road and Westney Road in the Duffins
Creek Watershed in the Town of Ajax. The property is currently undeveloped and clear of
vegetation. The site includes a small intermittent drainage feature tributary of Miller's Creek that
accommodates upstream drainage and provides contribution to and supports downstream fish
habitat in Miller's Creek. The feature is open upstream of Taunton Road but piped downstream
before reappearing at Miller's Creek. The subject property is designated for development in the
Ajax Official Plan and was subject to a Zoning Amendment and Site Plan review at the
municipality for the proposed commercial plaza. The site is not identified in TRCA's Regulation
Mapping, but the drainage feature and associated 15 metre offset meets the criteria for
regulation. The proposal is to pipe the drainage feature to accommodate upstream drainage
and provide an innovative enhanced swale on an easement over Hydro One lands downstream
of a new stormwater management pond to mitigate the impacts. The proponent has also
committed to an on -going monitoring program to measure the planned effectiveness of the
enhanced swale.
609
Conditional Approval:
TRCA staff are satisfied with the technical merits of the proposal (i.e. no impact to the control of
flooding, pollution, erosion or conservation of land) but have not had a chance to review the
final details. In addition, the proponent has not secured the appropriate legal easement over
Hydro One lands, although an agreement in principal has been reached with Hydro One. As
such, staff is requesting permission from the Executive Committee to allow staff to approve the
• issuance of the Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit for this project subject to TRCA's Ecology
staff confirming that the details of the plan are acceptable and the proponent obtaining an
easement over the Hydro One lands for the enhanced swale works.
Control of Flooding:
The stormwater pipe and facilities are designed to convey storm flows and will have no impact
on up or down - stream flooding.
Pollution:
The proposed enhanced swale includes variable geometry for the low flow channel to replicate
a natural swale or intermittent channel system and a series of pocket wetland /wet meadow
features. These features will provide additional riparian diversity, improve sediment and flow -
retention and detention and increase opportunity for infiltration. As such, the proposal, along
with other stormwater management facilities, will provide the appropriate water quality
treatment and will have no impact on pollution.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
The proposed enhanced swale draws upon the principals of fluvial geomorphology and
involves an assessment of existing corridor conditions. The main objective is to create a stable
corridor that replicates and enhances the current corridor function. In addition, the stormwater
management facility for the site is designed to meet the TRCA's erosion control requirements.
The proposal will therefore have no impact on erosion.
Conservation of Land:
The proposed enhanced swale will maintain the integrity and continuity of the channel form,
provide a source of organic materials to downstream fisheries, mimic and enhance retention
and detention functions for flow, enhance infiltration to provide water balance for the
development, and provide for increase in riparian and terrestrial biodiversity. The proposal will
provide the appropriate mitigation to avoid a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction of
fish habitat. TRCA staff will issue a.Letter of Advice on behalf of DFO.
Plantings
Both the storrriwater management facility and enhanced swale /wetlands will include
native trees, shrubs and grasses. .
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.1, New Development, and Section 4.3., Infrastructure and
Servicing, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal is to place and regrade fill and develop to facilitate the construction of a
residential subdivision and retrofit an existing stormwater management pond in an area located
south of Kingston Road, west of Carruthers Creek and north of Highway 401. The Draft Plan of
Subdivision, referred to as the "Pickering Beach Road Subdivision," has been approved with
conditions and an earlier TRCA permit (No. C- 07360) has been approved for a temporary
access road and stockpile fill. The following works are required in order to proceed with
construction: 1) provide a cut and fill balance along the edge of the floodplain that was
disturbed a number of years ago by filling; 2) retrofit an existing stormwater management pond
to today's standards; 3) install wetland habitat restoration; and 4) develop residential lots.
Conditional Approval:
TRCA staff has met with the proponent and Town of Ajax representatives to coordinate the
conditions of Draft Plan of Subdivision approval. Draft Plan Conditions that must be satisfied
include the development of a monitoring program for the pond retrofit in order to monitor the
effectiveness of best management practices such as infiltration facilities, and conveyance of the
valley lands to public ownership, among others. TRCA staff are satisfied with the technical
merits of the proposal (i.e. no impact to the control of flooding, pollution, erosion or
conservation of land) but have not had a chance to review the final details. As such, staff is
requesting permission from the Executive Committee to allow staff to approve the issuance of
the Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit for this project subject to TRCA's.Ecology staff confirming
that the details of the plan are acceptable.
611
Control of Flooding:
The subject property was historically filled in places and includes an old stormwater pond in the
valley. Given the disturbed nature of the site and the fact that there is little native vegetation
along the outer edges of the stream corridor, the proposal includes a cut and fill balance, with
some cut and fill on the west side of Carruther's Creek stream corridor and some cutting on the
east side, along with a comprehensive retrofit of the pond. The cut and fill is located in excess
of 80 metres from the edge of the creek. A satisfactory flood study was provided and confirms
that there will be no impact on the storage and conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution: •
Temporary sediment control has been provided per the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area
Conservation Authorities, Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction.
There are no geotechnical issues with the proposal.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
The stormwater management pond, infiltration devices and wetland treatment facilities are
designed to meet the erosion control requirements for the Carruther's Creek watershed.
Conservation of Land:
The area of cut and fill does not include•any significant vegetation and will be fully restored.
The development Tots are set back a minimum of 10 metres from the floodplain limits.
Plantings
The western cut and fill area will be renaturalized with native trees, shrubs and seed mix
along with the pond retrofit, wetland treatment facilities and the remainder of the stream
corridor to be conveyed to public ownership. The eastern cut and fill area is currently
used for agriculture and will continue to be until such time as the adjacent lands
designated for employment uses are granted approval.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal complies with Section 4.3., Infrastructure and Servicing, and Section 4.1, New

temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on
the site or elsewhere and alter a watercourse on south west quadrant of King
Road and Jane Street - Phase II, in the Township of King, Humber River
Watershed as located on the property owned by Regional Municipality of York.
The purpose is to construct structures (west and east outfalls, asphalt paving, steel beam guard
rail) in'a Regional Storm Floodplain; to excavate and place fill (for access routes on the west
and east sides of the Humber River; for removing sediment plume on the west bank; for
removing and replacing the west outfall; for removing and replacing east storm sewer pipes
and outfall) in a Regulated Area; to temporarily alter a watercourse (Humber River) during the
coldwater timing window (July 1 to September 15) through the use of turbidity curtains and
coffer dams in order to isolate the sediment removal works and the outfall works from the
watercourse.
The permit will be issued for the period of July 11, 2008 to July 10, 2010 in accordance with the
following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
• Letter of Undertaking (to provide revisions to engineering drawings and landscape
drawings); dated June 26, 2008; received July 2, 2008; prepared by Regional
Municipality of York.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
Both Phase I and Phase II of this project are classified as "Emergency Works" since the King
Road infrastructure and the storm sewer infrastructure as well as the Humber River water
quality are at risk. This file focuses on Phase II works which involve the removal of the
sediment from the Humber River on the west banks, caused from the storm sewer failure, the
removal and replacement of the west outfall, the removal and replacement of the east storm
sewer and east outfall. Access for.Phase II works will be from either the west banks or the east
banks. The watercourse will not be crossed to conduct any works. Phase I works, which were
completed in May and June 2008, encompassed the dry land works and involved removing
and replacing the west storm sewer and restoring the failed west bank.
An "Authorization for Phase II Emergency Works" letter was issued on June 26, 2008 in order
for Regional Municipality of York staff to proceed with the Phase II in water works on July 1,
2008 when the coldwater window opened. The "Authorization for Phase I Emergency Works"
letter was issued on May 22, 2008, and those works were completed as of June 27, 2008.
618
Background:
A failed storm sewer pipe at the south west quadrant of King Road and Jane Street caused an
erosion scar (approximately 10 m wide by 25 metres long) on the west side of Kinghorn Bridge.
The Regional Municipality of York needed to implement Phase I of the emergency works to
remove the failed storm sewer and to stabilize the west bank starting the week of May 26, 2008
which continued for approximately 3 weeks into June 2008. These Emergency Works are
required in order to prevent further damage to existing road and storm sewer infrastructure (in
Phase I) as well as to reduce the extension of the sediment plume into the Humber River (in
Phase II). A five metre section of steel beam guide rail at the bridge structure approach was
completely undermined and provided no protection of the fill embankment or bridge. Public
safety continues to be a concern.
The Regional Municipality of York's submission of May 15, 2008 indicated that the storm outfall
failure on the west side of the bridge is believed to have resulted from leakage of water from the
buried corrugated steel pipe (CSP) outfall, subsurface erosion of soil from below and adjacent
to the pipe, and subsequent collapse of the pipe and overlying soil. The submission also -
indicated that the cause of the leakage has not been confirmed but may involve corrosion of
the CSP or separation of the joints due to creep movements in the slope.
Phase I
The recently completed Phase I of the Emergency Works involved removing the failed west
sewer pipes, replacing with suitable backfill material and new pipes, restoring the curb, gutter,
asphalt pavement and stabilizing the west slopes with a temporary erosion control blanket
Machinery accessed from the west side only and did not need to cross the river during Phase I.
There were no in water works associated with Phase I and the duration was approximately 3.
weeks from the week of May 22, the date the TRCA Emergency Works letter was issued.
Enforcement staff has indicated that Phase I has proceeded smoothly.
Phase II
Phase II of the Emergency Works, the focus of this file, involves removing the sediment plume
from the Humber River on the west bank as well as removing and replacing the west outfall.
The east storm sewer which has suffered some slumping, and the east outfall also need
replacement. Phase II requires in water works to remove the sediment from the river and to
work on the west and east outfalls with turbidity curtains and coffer dams in place for isolation
measures. The duration of Phase II will be 3 to 4 weeks starting July 1, 2008 during the
coldwater window restriction due to the presence of redside dace.
The entire project site is located within a Regional Storm Floodplain and a Regulated Area.
Landowner authorization has been allocated for works outside the Regional Right -of -Way.
Control of Flooding:
The existing grades within the Regional Storm Floodplain will be maintained, therefore, there
will be no implications to flooding.
Pollution:
Standard erosion control measures (turbidity curtains on west and east banks, coffer dam on
east bank, silt fence between slope and watercourse, plugging manhole and diverting flows for
storm sewer works) will be implemented to ensure that the construction - generated sediments
do not enter the watercourse during the proposed works.
619
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There will be no slope stability issues related to the works. Upon completion of the works, all
disturbed slopes will be stabilized with an erosion control blanket and will be seeded and
vegetated.
Conservation of Land:
There will be in stream works associated with this project. The Humber River will be
temporarily altered with turbidity curtains on the west in order to remove the sediments from the
river. On the east bank the turbidity curtain and a pea - gravel coffer dam will be utilized to
isolate the outfall works from the watercourse. TRCA staff imposed a contingency plan should
the turbidity curtain not be effective at containing sediments. Pea gravel bags will weigh down
the curtain, or a coffer dam of pea gravel bags will be instituted if their is are turbidity curtain
seal problems. With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a harmful
alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of
Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans
(DFO). The proposed works will impact no significant terrestrial resource features.
Plantings
All disturbed slopes will be stabilized and restored with an erosion control blanket.
Ultimate restoration of all disturbed areas with native /non- invasive species will occur
during this Phase II of the works which will initiate July 1 during the coldwater timing
window and will continue for 3 to 4 weeks.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing of the Authority's Valley

valley feature which contains an intermittent watercourse that connects to a wetland outside of
the subject property.
As part of the associated King Township consent file (File No. 07- B -06), TRCA staff staked the
dripline on the subject property December 7, 2006. The majority of the proposed works are
located a minimum 7.5 metres away from the TRCA staked dripline. A portion of the septic
system mantle is located closer to the staked line but is a minimum 3 .0 metres away from the
staked line. TRCA technical staff are satisfied with the proposed setbacks subject to the
following mitigation measure which has been incorporated into the applicants Site Plan
drawing: restoration planting of native, non - invasive trees are provided within a 3.0 metre buffer
from the staked dripline. The restoration planting will provide an enhanced buffer between the
valley system and the manicured sodded area and residential uses.
According to a geotechnical brief prepared by Haddad Geotechnical Inc., dated June 18, 2008,
the proposed dwelling is approximately 27.6 metres from the long term stable slope for the
shallow valley. The long term stable slope as identified in the brief is located beyond the TRCA
staked dripline and well away from the proposed works.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. There will be no
impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained during construction of the dwelling
and septic system to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent valley and watercourse
features.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
TRCA Geotechnical Staff are satisfied that the proposed works will not result in the erosion of
the valley wall / slope. ,
621
Conservation of Land:
As the watercourse will not be significantly impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will
result. The edge of the vegetated shallow valley feature will be enhanced with a 3.0 metre
planting buffer. Based upon the Site Plan and a site visit conducted by TRCA staff May 27,
2008, TRCA ecology staff are satisfied that no significant natural features on or adjacent to the
. site will be negatively impacted by the project.
Plantings
The adjacent vegetated shallow valley feature will be buffered from the proposed
residential use through a planted buffer consisting of native non - invasive trees. All
disturbed areas will be restored to the existing sodded condition and will not affect any
significant natural features.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 G) - Infilling.- of the Authority's Valley and Stream
Corridor Management Program.

Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of an outfall structure on the west
side of Highway 50, south of Ebenezer Road, on lands owned by the City of Brampton. The
proposed works are located adjacent to a tributary of the Humber River Watershed. A separate
application for the proposed commercial development on the adjacent lands is•being reviewed
in tandem with this application. The proposed outfall will formalize the outlet for the current
stormwater drainage ditch that traverses the adjacent commercial lands and outlets into the
above noted tributary: The outfall will drain a portion of the stormwater runoff from the Block
57/58 lands located within the City of Vaughan as well as a portion of Highway 50. The-outfall
has been designed to prevent any further erosion or future erosion to the adjacent valley slope
and has also been designed to dissipate flows prior to entering the adjacent tributary.
Currently, an Environmental Assessment (EA) is being completed for the widening of Highway
50. Once the Highway 50 widening works begin, a stormceptor unit will be installed to provide
additional stormwater quality treatment for the Highway 50 drainage prior to entering the
proposed outfall. Additionally, appropriate stormwater quantity and quality controls will be
implemented at such time when future development on the Block 57/58 lands occurs. The
proposed works are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain. However, TRCA staff has
confirmed that the proposed works will not impact the storage and /or conveyance of flood
waters. As such, there are no flooding or ecology related concerns associated with this
application. Enhancement plantings to improve the ecological functions of this area are
proposed as part of this application.
Control of Flooding:
Although the proposed works are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, TRCA staff has
reviewed this proposal and do not anticipate any adverse impacts to the storage and /or
conveyance of flood waters.
623
Pollution:
Appropriate sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained on the subject
property during all phases of construction.

Proposal:
The purpose is to construct an inground pool and patio and recognize a retaining wall structure
constructed within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. The subject property is
partially within a remnant draw feature which contains a watercourse that forms part of a
tributary of the Humber River. Based upon a site visit conducted by TRCA staff on June 27,
2008, the existing top of bank of a mild slope is located at the edge of the property boundary.
The proposed pool and patio are setback a minimum 5.0 metres away from the property
boundaries.
The existing retaining wall is located along the northern boundary of the subject property and
rises in height from 0.5 metres to 1.85 metres from the front of the property to the halfway point
of the northern property line. According to the applicant, the retaining wall was required to
permit the construction of the home and the homeowner was not aware that a permit under
Ontario Regulation 166/06 was required. Based upon the site visit, TRCA staff are satisfied that
the completed works will not have an impact on the portion of the remnant draw feature that is
located adjacent to the northern boundary of the subject property.
The 5.0 metre setback area is to be vegetated with native, non - invasive plants and trees and will
create an enhanced buffer between the existing and proposed residential uses with the
adjacent valley / stream corridor / remnant draw feature.

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 within a Regulated Area of the East Don River and to interfere with a wetland in order to
relocate and enhance the Castan Pond/Wetland in Planning Block 12, in the City of Vaughan.
The proposed works were approved as part of the overall Block 12 Master Environmental
Servicing Plan(MESP) and subsequently as part of the associated draft plans of subdivision for
the area (19T -00V02 - Mayvon Investments & 19T -99V08 - Andridge Homes Limited (formerly
Castan)).
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 works are
located east of Dufferin Street and north of Major Mackenzie Drive. The existing pond /wetland,
commonly referred to as the Castari Wetland, is approximately 0.57 ha (1.4 ac) in size with a
catchment area of 3.0 ha (with no other surface inlets or outlets). The pond is fed primarily by
surface runoff from surrounding lands with relatively limited groundwater recharge.
The existing wetland area is not a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW), although it does
provide limited wildlife habitat. The current wetland is located on tableland and is surrounded
by lands that are currently being used for agricultural purposes. However, retention of the
wetland is its current configuration is not favourable as the wetland will be surrounded by future
residential development and will be largely isolated from the adjacent forest and valley lands.
The proposed wetland will be located further west of the current wetland area and closer
towards the forested /valley area. The new wetland will be approximately 2.4 ha including the
vegetated restoration and enhancement area. A seasonal pond is included in this area and will
include features such a bolder clusters, fallen Togs, mud flats, multiple vegetation communities
and other varying habitats. It will be surrounded by native vegetation including trees, shrubs
and multiple aquatic areas and wetland /upland vegetation. Like the existing wetland, the new
wetland will be primarily fed by runoff from surrounding lands. A grassed swale outlet will be
constructed at the southeast corner of the site to provide an overland flow route. This swale
leads to a tributary of the East Don River.
In order.to ensure the Tong -term success of the new wetland, the applicant has proposed
several measures including the salvaging of hydric soils, shrubs and rocks from the old wetland
area. A geosynthetic /clay liner with organic materials will be installed on the bottom of the new
pond and covered by a layer of hydric top soil. Tree and shrub plantings will take place along
the wetland and surrounding field. Finally, a three year monitoring program will be in place, to
ensure project success and to collect biological information and inventory.
636
Control of Flooding:
The proposed wetland area is located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the East
Don River.. As such, the storage or conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted by the
proposed works.
Pollution:
Erosion and sediment control fencing has already been erected around the work site given that
topsoil grading has taken place on nearby lands proposed for future residential development.
Additional sedimentfencing will be installed near the existing and proposed work site to ensure
that the migration of sediment to the East Don River tributary is minimized.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
Sediment will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned sediment
control measures. There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the
proposed works.
Conservation of Land:
There are no direct in -water works associated with the proposed works (the current wetland
does not have an outlet to a watercourse). However, given the proposed connection of the new
wetland via a grassed swale, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans
Canada (DFO).
Plantings
Extensive plantings of native species including shrub and wetland vegetation will be
implemented as part of the permitted works.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal complies with Section 4.2.2(F) - Opportunities for Regeneration, of the TRCA's
Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose is to construct a single story addition including a single storey attached garage to
an existing dwelling within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. The subject
property is partially covered by two Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSWs) which form part of
the Philips- Bond - Thompson Wetland Complex and is entirely within the Wetland Area of
Interference of these two wetlands. The smaller of the two PSWs is located along Bathurst
Street and is located over 170 metres away from the proposed works while the larger PSW is
located at the rear property and is also within an area identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources as an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI). The proposed addition is
located within a sodded area between an existing dwelling and existing garage and is
approximately 57 metres away from the PSW located at the rear of the subject property.
The area between the proposed works and the nearest PSW is in a highly altered state as a
sodded lawn and contains an existing inground swimming pool, which is closer to the PSW
than the proposed addition. Based upon the drawings submitted by the applicant and a Natural
Heritage Evaluation (NHE) (prepared by LGL Limited, dated June 2008, received by the TRCA
June 24, 2008) as well as site visit conducted by TRCA staff May 14, 2008, TRCA staff are
satisfied that the proposed works are sufficiently setback from the significant natural features
onsite.
A single ornamental tree, not contiguous with any natural features, will be removed as part of
the proposed work and will be replaced with three native trees as recommended by the NHE. In
addition, in order to create a buffer between the wetland and the existing residential uses, an
area around the wetland feature is to be designated as a "no mow" zone to allow natural
wetland vegetation to develop along the bank of the wetland.
Control of Flooding:
The proposal is not located with the Regional Storm Flood Plain, there will be no impact on the
storage or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing will be erected and maintained for the duration of construction and
temporary storage of fill and materials will be located away from the wetland and tarped.
638
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical issues associated with this project.
Conservation of Land:
As the watercourse and wetland will not be significantly impacted by the proposal, no fisheries
concerns will result. The PSWs and ANSI on the subject property are sufficiently setback from
the proposed works and will not be impacted. A new buffer area between the PSW located at
the rear of the subject property and the existing residential uses will be created to provide
additional wetland habitat and enhanced protection for the wetland.
Plantings
All disturbed areas will be restored to the existing sodded condition and will not affect
any significant natural features.
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.

Proposal: . -
This permit is one of two presently before the Executive Committee at the July 11, 2008 meeting
pertaining to works proposed on the subject property. The subject property is located between
Highway 404 and Woodbine Avenue, north of Major Mackenzie Drive in the West Cathedral
Community, Town of Markham. As part of the West Cathedral Secondary Plan and Master and
Environmental Servicing Plan, the portion of East Carleton Creek that traverses the plan area is
to be restored. This restoration is to take the form of a widened valley corridor and the
realignment of the entire watercourse within the West Cathedral community based upon natural
channel design principles. Currently, the watercourse is highly altered due to the former
agricultural use adjacent to it. This work requires several permits from TRCA for different
phases of the work, the initial permits for which were previously issued by the TRCA.
This permit is to allow for the construction of the permanent `enhanced' East Carleton Creek
corridor, as well as the connections for the extension of the existing temporary diversion
channel. In accordance with the Environmental Servicing Plan, the enhanced corridor will be
constructed to provide for a 55 metre wide corridor, with a realigned and restored watercourse,
.incorporating natural channel design. A related permit application for a temporary diversion
channel associated with the proposed works (CFN 41078) is also being brought forward to this
Executive Committee meeting for consideration, which will allow for all sections of the
permanent channel to be constructed in the dry, once a TRCA permit has been issued for the
permanent channel works.
The permanent channel works proposed under this permit (which form one component of the
larger channel works that will extend onto adjacent properties) will constitute a Harmful
Alteration Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of Fish Habitat pursuant to the Fisheries Act
(Canada) and will require Authorization from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada
(DFO). Additionally; all in- stream works — as well as those adjacent will be subject to the Cold
Water Fisheries Timing Window restrictions. While the design drawings for the permanent
channel have only been recently submitted for the review of TRCA staff, and staff have not had
the opportunity to determine whether the proposed works will satisfy TRCA and DFO
requirements, due to the short duration of the Cold Water Timing Window, this permit
application is being brought forward at this time, such that it can be released once all
outstanding TRCA and DFO issues have been resolved. The TRCA permit will not be issued for
the proposed works until such time as TRCA staff are satisfied with the works proposed, and an
Authorization from DFO has been issued.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed corridor has been designed to contain Regional Storm flows, and thus will
maintain or enhance the storage and conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Appropriate Sediment and Erosion control measures will be put in place and maintained during
all construction phases.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
651
Erosion:
Sediment and erosion control measures will remain in place throughout the construction
phases. Additionally all channel areas shall be stabilized prior to receiving stream flows. There
are no geotechnical concerns associated with this proposal.
Conservation of Land:
Fisheries concerns are to be addressed through the Ministry of Natural Resources' fisheries
timing window and the DFO Authorization review process. Landscape and enhancement
plans, which meet TRCA's requirements will be required prior to the issuance of this permit.
Plantings
The proposed corridor will be planted in accordance with TRCA's planting guidelines,
which will result in a net enhancement of riparian and natural cover within this corridor
and this community.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.3 Infrastructure and Servicing - of TRCA's
Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Proposal:
This permit is one of two presently before the Executive Committee at the July 11, 2008 meeting
pertaining to the works proposed on the subject property. The subject property is located
between Highway 404 and Woodbine Avenue, north of Major Mackenzie Drive in the West
Cathedral Community, Town of Markham. As part of the West Cathedral Secondary Plan and
Master and Environmental Servicing Plan, the portion of East Carleton Creek that traverses the
plan area is to be restored. This restoration is to take the form of a widened valley corridor and
the realignment of the entire watercourse within the West Cathedral community based upon
natural channel design principles. Currently, the watercourse is highly altered due to the former
agricultural use adjacent to it. This work requires several permits from TRCA for different
phases of the work as the project moves forward, the initial permits for which were previously
issued by the TRCA.
Previous permits have been issued for works for a temporary diversion of East Carleton Creek,
and adjacent works within a TRCA Regulated area. The permit for the construction of a
temporary diversion channel (approved at the September 8, 2006 Executive Committee
meeting, and subsequently issued) was to set the stage for future permits for the construction
of the Woodbine By -pass crossing, proposed local street crossings, and to allow the new
re- aligned permanent channel to be constructed in the dry. This diversion channel was
subsequently constructed under this permit. Due to a recent change in land ownership (as
TRCA permits are non - transferable), as well as the need to extend the permit and make minor
revisions, the new owners of the property must apply for a permit to complete any remaining
works under this permit that have not to date been completed. As these works are consistent
(and largely identical) to those that were previously approved and constructed, this new permit
application is largely required to allow for a permit to be issued to the current landowner for the
works. An extension of the diversion channel, which has been designed to the same standards
as the original diversion channel is also proposed to allow for all sections of the permanent
channel to be constructed in the dry, once a TRCA permit has been issued for the permanent
channel works.
An additional permit is being brought forward (under CFN 40612) for the consideration of the
Executive Committee for the construction of the permanent channel, as well as the connections
for the extension of the temporary diversion channel.

Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Rouge River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a stormwater outfall for a new
commercial development block. The outfall structure is required in order to convey stormwater
runoff from the commercial site. All stormwater released into the valley corridor will be
adequately treated according to TRCA Guidelines which includes clean water from the roof
tops, bio - swales, infiltration galleries and biofilters. The outfall has been designed in
accordance with TRCA Guidelines. Therefore, the headwall is sufficiently setback from the
watercourse and flows have been designed to dissipate via the provision of riprap and
enhanced plantings surrounding the headwall to prevent erosion. As this area is within a major
groundwater recharge zone, the bio - swales and infiltration galleries were added to this project
in order to maintain current groundwater infiltration rates. A planting plan has been submitted
with this project. The plantings are located at the outlet location and within the valley.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
659
Proposal:
The applicant seeks permission to undertake site grading, permanently place fill material and
alter a watercourse in order to develop a major active recreation park adjacent to the Stouffville
Creek. The proposed park, known as Bethesda Park, is located on the south side of Bethesda
Side Road east of the Ninth Line within a rural area of the Town of Whitchurch- Stouffville
immediately north of the community of Stouffville and the Stouffville Reservoir Conservation
Area. The lands to be developed into the park are located on the south slope of the Oak
Ridges Moraine and are approximately 20 hectares in size. The lands were formally used as a
sod farm.
The headwaters of the Stouffville Creek and associated valleylands transect the west side of the
site. The creek and valleylands contain woodlands and wetlands in addition to riparian
vegetation and fisheries resources. The Stouffville Creek and associated lands previously
described are designated as a 'Natural Linkage Area' in the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation
Plan. Only passive recreational uses and conservation and ecological restoration uses are
permitted within the Natural Linkage Area. TRCA staff have assisted in ensuring that the park
plan provides for only passive recreation and restoration uses within the sensitive areas of the
Natural Linkage Area. A minor exception was permitted for the continued use of an existing
works yard and shed that is located in the Linkage Area.
The balance of lands are designated as a 'Countryside Area' pursuant to the Oak Ridges
Moraine Conservation Plan and are to contain the major active recreational portion of the
parklands including the associated servicing infrastructure. This includes: three baseball
diamonds, four mini soccer pitches and three full size soccer pitches, a recreational trail
system. Supporting infrastructure includes: access roads and parking lots, washroom and
change room facilities, irrigation, stormwater management, lighting and sanitary sewer services.
With respect to stormwater management, an extensive naturalized vegetated swale system is to
be constructed that will lead to a stormwater management pond to be constructed on table
lands outside of the Natural Linkage Area. The stormwater management pond will have an .
outfall leading to the Stouffville Creek and will be used for irrigation of the sports fields.
Control of Flooding:
The stormwater management system has been designed to safely convey flood flows in
accordance with all relevant technical criteria. No new structures or playfields are to be
constructed within lands subject to flooding under a Regional Flood event. Thus, the storage
and conveyance of flood waters will not be affected by this proposal. Most parking areas and
driveways are to be constructed with impervious surfaces providing for the maintenance of
groundwater infiltration.
Pollution:
Sediment and erosion controls are to be in place prior to construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There are no slope stability or geotechnical concerns with this proposal.
660
Conservation of Land:
TRCA staff have ensured that the requisite environmental studies were undertaken in order to
ensure that all sensitive features within the Natural Linkage Area are protected and adequately
buffered. A 30 metre Minimum Vegetation Protection Zone has been provided, as required by
the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, adjacent to all key natural and hydrologically
sensitive features. Previous dumping of fill within the Natural Linkage Area portion of the site is
to be removed.
Plantings
Riparian and buffer plantings of natural, self sustaining, shrubs and trees are to be
provided within the Natural Linkage Area. Large portions of the site within the
Countryside Area will be allowed to regenerate into a natural meadow and will not be
actively manicured with mowing.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is consistent with Policies 4.1.1, New Urban Development and 4.3, Infrastructure
and Servicing, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Proposal:
The entire proposal involves the widening of Main Street from 9th Concession to Highway 48.
The works will include the addition of two lanes and a median, storm sewer, the extension of an
existing culvert located east of Highway 48 and the elimination of Tributary 4 located on the
south side of Main Street (240m east of Sandiford Drive and 60m west of Sandiford Drive). The
destruction of Tributary 4 is a Harmful Alteration, Disruption. or Destruction (HADD) of fish
habitat and requires appropriate compensation in order to acquire the Authorization from
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). TRCA approval of these works has been divided into
three phases in order to facilitate the construction of the road improvements.
Phase I (Sta. 1 +185 to east construction limit) involves road improvement works outside the
Regulated Area. Under TRCA's level III agreement with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO),
staff issued a Letter of Advice (LOA) to ensure that the appropriate sediment and erosion
control measures were implemented in order to protect fish habitat. Phasell (Sta. 0 to Sta.
0 +800) involves road improvement works within the Regulated Area and requires TRCA permit
approval and an additional LOA. Phase II road works include the construction of a storm sewer
and north and south extensions to the existing culvert located east of Highway 48. The culvert
extensions involve in water works and are subject to the coldwater fisheries timing window of
July 1 to September 15. Phase II works were approved under permit C- 08459. This application
is for Phase III (Sta. 0 +800 to 1+185) and involves works within the Regulated Area, the HADD
(elimination of Tributary 4) and associated compensation (SWM Pond) for the HADD.
The project was reviewed through the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed project will have no impacts on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters.
Pollution: .
Standard erosion control measures (silt/sediment fencing, rock check dam, dam and pump)
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
wetland /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. Approximately 300m of a roadside watercourse will be enclosed to accommodate the
proposed road widening. This permanent watercourse alteration will constitute a harmful
alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat and will require an authorization from
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). As outlined in the Letter of Intent, the compensation for
the HADD will include the retrofit and.upgrade of an existing stormwater management pond.
662
The retrofit would upgrade the facility for water quality control (it currently operates as a
quantity control structure only), separate storm flows from baseflow and partition fish habitat
from the facility. An upgraded channel with floodplain pools is proposed to compensate for the
net spatial loss of habitat length in the watercourse to be lost When the DFO authorization has
been received, TRCA staff will be in a position to issue a "Development, Interference with
Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses (Ontario Regulation 166/06) permit.
The proposed works will impact no significant terrestrial resource features.
Plantings
All disturbed areas will be restored with native non - invasive species following •
construction associated with road works. Additional plantings will be implemented as
outlined in.TRCA's Stormwater Management Facility Planting Guidelines as part of the
retrofit to the existing stormwater management pond.
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, 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 to facilitate the construction of a sanitary sewer and watermain; Township of King,
York Region; Humber Watershed.
The permit will be issued for the period of July 11, 2008 to July 10, 2010.
• Letter of Undertaking to provide revisions to the engineering drawings and further
details on the dewatering activities to the satisfaction of TRCA; dated June 25, 2008;
received July 9, 2008; prepared by Mary Lake Estates Inc.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
663
Proposal:
The King City Sanitary Sewer project was reviewed by TRCA staff during the Environmental
Assessment process. King City is being serviced with sanitary sewers and local pumping
stations to take existing residents off sewage septic systems and to plan for future growth. All
sewage will ultimately discharge to the York Durham Sewage System (YDSS) on Yonge Street
once all servicing has been constructed. There are a total of 13 contract areas of which nine (9)
have already been constructed or are currently being constructed. This project is a
continuation of the Township of King Contract Area 6A1, approved by TRCA on June 1, 2007
under permit number C- 07407.
This application will involve the crossing of an existing 1200mm CSP culvert by a proposed
300mm diameter sanitary sewer and a 250mm diameter watermain by open -cut methodology in
the municipal road right -of -way of Keele Street. Minimum culvert clearance distances are 0.5 m
for the sanitary sewer and 2.0 m for the watermain. A portion of the works is located within the
regulated area on Keele Street. Restoration of Keele Street is proposed and will match existing
grades and profile.
During construction effective erosion and sediment control (ESC) measures will be
implemented to protect all natural features (aquatic and terrestrial). Any water derived from
groundwater dewatering or pumping of open cut trench excavations will be managed to
prevent impacts to surrounding natural environmental features.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed project will not impact storage or conveyance of floodwaters.
Pollution:
Standard erosion and sediment control measures (silt /sediment fence, rock check dams
catchbasin silt control filter, etc.) 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 any wetland /watercourse.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There are no slope stability concerns with the proposed project.
Conservation of Land:
There will be no in stream work associated with this project. Both the sanitary and watermain
crossings are covered under a Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) operational
statement (OPS). If the works are carried out in accordance with the relevant OPS, a letter of
advice will not be required. The locatiori 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.

(220,289 sq. ft.) industrial condominium complex located at 1055 and 1065 Sisbro Court, in the
City of Mississauga. The subject property is located adjacent to a valley corridor. Through
past planning reviews (December 2006), the limits of development for the subject property were
established by TRCA staff. The proposed works are setback 10 metres from this established
limit of development in accordance with TRCA's policies. As such, the proposed works are
setback sufficiently from the valley corridor. As a component of this project, innovative
biofiltration strips will be installed on the subject property in order to incorporate additional
on -site stormwater quality controls. Although there are no flooding, geotechnical, or ecology
related concerns with this application, an extensive planting plan is proposed within the valley
corridor and buffer area in order to provide an ecological net gain with this application.
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 sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained on the subject
property during all phases of construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns anticipated with this project.

BACKGROUND
Watercourses and adjacent park areas within the City of Toronto sustained a significant amount
of damage as a result of the August 19, 2005 storm event. In response to the damage caused,
the City of Toronto Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department entered into a sole source
agreement with TRCA (February 20, 2007) to complete the repairs and remedial works required
to ensure protection of life and property within the City of Toronto parks systems. The sites
requiring remedial and repair work were identified specifically in reports from Engineering
Management Systems Inc. and Chisholm Fleming Ltd; engineering firms retained by the City of
Toronto Parks department to conduct damage inventories for all of the parks networks, to be
prioritized by TRCA.
Based onihe findings of the report from Engineering Management Systems, TRCA and the City
of Toronto Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department have developed a short-list of priority
repairs to be completed as part of the City of Toronto Storm Damage Repair Project
The bridge identified as BN47PC203 -253: Derrydowns Parkland South Pedestrian Bridge 3,
was destroyed during the storm event, and replaced with a temporary bridge by the City of
Toronto for the purpose of pedestrian movement through the park system. Service vehicles
have been using a concrete fjord currently located downstream of the bridge for access during
this time.
The new bridge will accommodate pedestrian and service vehicle access through the park
system, and the fjord and the temporary bridge will be removed off -site.

Award of contract for the interior renovations for a Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
rental home
RECOMMENDATION
THAT the contract for the interior renovations of the main floor bathroom, kitchen and
side entrance at 7669 Reesor Road, Markham, be awarded to Nova Decor Construction
for a cost not to exceed $19,750.00, plus applicable taxes.
BACKGROUND
On March 31, 2007, the Ontario Realty Corporation transferred lands to Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA), these lands being known as the Bob Hunter Lands. A number
of rental tenancies were transferred to TRCA with the transfer of these lands. An assessment
was carried out prior to the transfer of each of these residential units to determine the extent of
repair. Accordingly, since there was a considerable amount of maintenance work to be carried
out, funds were also provided to TRCA by the Ontario Realty Corporation to carry out these
necessary repairs.
A Request for Quotation was prepared and distributed to several contractors to carry out this
work at 7669 Reesor Road, Markham as the second floor bathroom, bedrooms, hallway,
basement and flooring are at the end of their useful life and in a state of disrepair. The
contractors who received the Request for Quotation were as follows:
• B.W. Doucette
• Benaqua Contracting
• Nova Decor Construction Ltd.
• Benvenuto Bros.
• Tri -Star General Contracting
• Frontier Group of Companies ■
• Dreamscapes Renovations
A site visit was arranged for the contractors to meet TRCA staff to examine the extent of the
work. Of the seven contractors invited to quote, only three made arrangements to attend and
submitted a quote. The quotations received were as follows:

After comparing the three quotes provided, staff is recommending that the contract be awarded
to Nova Decor Construction Ltd. who is not the lowest bidder. Nova Decor Construction Ltd.
has carried out work for TRCA and is a reputable contractor. TRCA is finding it difficult to find
new contractors and staff wishes to distribute the work in an effort to keep contractors
interested in quoting on jobs for TRCA. Staff also feel that by awarding all of the work to B.W.
Doucette it may make it difficult for him to meet our deadline.

available from Ontario Realty Corporation in TRCA's Bob Hunter capital account.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
708
Proposal:
The proposal is to site grade and remove and place fill to facilitate the grading and servicing of
new residential lots, the construction of a pedestrian trail and the grading and renaturalization
of a open space block within an approved residential Draft Plan of Subdivision. The
Subdivision is located on the east side of Oasis Drive (formerly Neilson Road), south and west
of the Morningside Creek, and north of the existing Morningside Heights residential
development in the City of Toronto. The Draft Plan of Subdivision was approved with a 10
metre renaturalized buffer from the edge of the significant vegetation associated with the
Morningside Creek Valley system. The buffer and the remaining valley lands will be conveyed
to the City of Toronto as a condition of Draft Plan approval. Included in these lands is an area
that was filled by the previous owner. Fill will be removed, replaced with clean fill and
renaturalized. The pedestrian trail will be located in the 10 metre buffer and will connect to the
existing Morningside Heights trail to the south.
Conditional Approval:
TRCA staff are satisfied with the technical merits of the proposal (i.e. no impact to the control of
flooding, pollution, erosion or conservation of land) but have not yet received final confirmation
that the quality of the fill in the open space block is satisfactory to the City of Toronto. If the
quality of the fill is not satisfactory then some modifications to the amount of fill to be removed
and replaced may be necessary. As such, staff is requesting permission from the Executive
Committee to allow staff to approve the issuance of the Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit for
this project subject to the City of Toronto confirming that the quality of the fill is acceptable.
Control of Flooding:
The proposal is not located within the Regional Storm Floodplain and will have no impact on
the storage or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Temporary sediment control has been provided per the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area
Conservation Authorities, Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction.
These controls include a temporary sediment pond and a phased sediment fence installation.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
The appropriate erosion control criteria has been incorporated into the temporary sediment and
erosion control plan.
Conservation of Land:
The entire valley corridor has been redesignated as open space and will be conveyed to the
City of Toronto. Areas previously disturbed by the former owner will be renaturalized.
Plantings
A significant amount of native trees, shrubs and seed mixture will be installed in the
disturbed portions of the open space lands. •
709
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is consistent with Policy 4.1.1, New Urban Development, of the TRCA's Valley and
Stream Corridor Management Program.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose is to construct a replacement home and septic system within a Regulated Area of
the Humber River Watershed. The subject property is a disturbed open area surrounded by
forested areas and a small wetland feature north of the property. The proposal is located within
the Regional Storm Flood Plain and the Regional Flood Elevation for the subject property is
approximately 167.17 metres above sea level ( m.a.s.l.). The proposed works are located
outside of the floodway and have been floodproofed to the Regional Storm Elevation plus 0.3
metres freeboard (167.47 m.a.s.l.) by ensuring all openings are above this elevation.
The replacement home is to be built on top of the existing basement and increases the footprint
of the home but will not have a significant impact on the storage and conveyance of flood
waters. The existing basement windows are to remain; however, the basement windows are
already above the Regional Flood Elevation and are at 167.51 m.a.s.l. The majority of the
• existing basement is to be partially filled in to become a crawl space and as a result, the
proposal will not exceed the 50% additional total floor area as prescribed for replacement
structures under Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP). The proposed
septic system is located in an already disturbed area (manicured lawn), and will not result in a
loss of vegetation.
Control of Flooding:
TRCA water resources staff are satisfied that the proposed replacement home is flood proofed
to the Regional Flood Elevation and will not significantly impact the storage and conveyance of
flood waters.
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained during the construction of the
dwelling to prevent sediment transport onto adjacent properties and into nearby natural
features.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical issues associated with this proposal.
722
Conservation of Land:
As the watercourse will not be significantly impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will
result. The proposed works do not extend the building envelope or the area of disturbance
closer to the small wetland feature located north of the subject property. All footprint
expansions are located along the southern half of the existing dwelling, away from any
significant natural features. 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.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 D) - Replacement 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:
735
Proposal:
Background
The Town of Whitchurch- Stouffville (TOWS) currently receives its water supply from
groundwater,sources. A Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) - Schedule B was
filed' by the Regional Municipality of York in 2006 that identified the preferred solution for
additional water supply to meet future growth in the TOWS. Additional water supply is required
by 2009:, The preferred solution is to extract additional water supply from Lake Ontario via the
York Water System (YWS) and use it in combination with the existing groundwater supply. The
additional lake- based supply will provide approximately 25% of the Town's water supply.
The additional water supply extraction will be undertaken by constructing a connection and
booster station at the existing Markham Reservoir located south of Stouffville Road and east of
McCowan Road. A watermain will then be constructed from the booster station to McCowan
Road, where it will extend along the east side of McCowan Road north to Stouffville;Road, at
which point itwill run east along the north side of Stouffville Road and connect to an existing
distribution system at Ringwood Drive. This application is for approval for the Regional
Municipality of York to construct approximately 530 m of watermain and,470 m of sanitary
sewer from Highway 48 westward along .Stouffiville Road. The Town of Whitchurch- Stouffville
will be submitting a detailed design package in the future for a permit application to complete
the watermain connection eastward from the limit of the Regional Municipality of York's
contract. Watermain works were approved by TRCA throughissuance of an Ontario Regulation
166/06 permit ( #C- 07464) to the TOWS in 2007 for connection to the existing system at
Ringwood Drive and north on Highway 48 to Millard Street.
Regulated Construction Works
Proposed works within the regulated area include construction of the watermain and sanitary
sewer on Stouffville Road where it crosses beneath the East Little Rouge Creek on the north
side (watermain) and centre (sanitary) of the intersection with Highway 48. The crossing of the
watermain and sanitary sewer will be constructed by Jacking and Boring approximately 1.0 m
(sanitary) and 2.1 m (watermain) below the creek's concrete culvert. All other works apart from
the jacking and boring procedure will be constructed by open -cut methodology.
During construction effective erosion and sediment control (ESC) measures will be
implemented to protect all natural features (aquatic and terrestrial). Any water derived from
groundwater dewatering or pumping of open cut trench excavations, will be managed to
prevent impacts to surrounding natural environmental features.
Control of Flooding: .
The storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be impacted by the proposed works as final
grades are to match existing grades in the flood plain.
Pollution:
Standard erosion and sediment control measures (silt/sediment fence; rock check dams, etc.)
will be implemented and maintained for,the duration of construction and until the site is
stabilized and restored to prevent construction generated sediment from entering any ,
watercourse.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following,information:
Proposal:
The proposal is to conduct site grading works, to temporarily or permanently place, dump or
remove material within a Regulated Area and to alter the East Don River, in order to conduct
restoration works to the existing Mayvon East Pond along with its associated culvert and berm
stabilization within Planning Block 12, in the City of Vaughan.
744
Location:
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 site is
located on lands that are part of Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision ,19T -00V02 (Mayvon
Investments Limited). The lands are located east of Dufferin Street and north of Major
Mackenzie Drive. There are two existing online ponds on the'property: a shallow pond (East
Mayvon Pond) and a deeper offline pond (West Mayvon Pond).
There is an approved Master Environmental Servicing Report (MESP) in place for Block 12. As
part of the MESP process, the two ponds on the Mayvon lands were identified for restoration
works in the area including opportunities to improve aquatic habitat linkages through the
removal of stream barriers in the Mayvon draft plan area. To be consistent with the Don
Watershed Fisheries Management Plan (1996), a recommendation was made to restore the
watercourse in this area and improve connectivity of fish habitat through the removal of the two
online ponds in this area.
Background:
In order to improve habitat linkages to the headwaters of the Don River, the initial treatment with
respect to the two Mayvon ponds was to remove the deeper off -line pond (West Mayvon Pond)
and regrade in this area. The stream channel would then be relocated through the former pond
location and reconnected. The East Mayvon pond would be removed but would receive
periodic flows from the re- designed stream channel during high flow periods and events. This
would provide both terrestrial and aquatic habitat opportunities. The TRCA conduct these
works while the developments within the Block Plan area will fund all costs of the works.
At the October 13, 2006 TRCA Executive Meeting (Meeting # 08/06), authorization was given to
TRCA staff to enter into final negotiations with the applicant to come to an agreement on the
rehabilitation of Mayvon Pond and that a state -of- the -art channel rehabilitation program be
implemented. Early investigations of the proposed work plan (i.e., removing the berm creating
the East and West Ponds and the construction of a new channel alignment to connect the East
Don River upstream and downstream of the Mayvon lands) identified risk and potential
complications associated with the active removal and de- watering of sediments from the East
Mayvon Pond. This included comprehensive soil testing and hydrogeological analysis.
Additional investigations into the removal of the berm showed that there would be difficulties
with dewatering and the construction of the channel through the West Pond.
Based on these findings, TRCA staff entered into additional discussions to explore the
opportunity to construct a fishway to provide aquatic habitat connectivity through West Mayvon
Pond. However, based on the technical submissions provided, TRCA staff expressed concerns
with the extent of the construction disturbance required to complete the works and that the
overall strategy did not meat our long -term vision for fish passage at this location. Furthermore,
sediment release downstream could prove problematic given that downstream lands and
ponds are in private ownership; thereby leading to potential liability issues.
745
Finalized Agreement:
This noted, further discussions were held whereby a new phased approach was developed to
achieve the long term goal of achieving fish passage; the applicant, Block 12 Properties would
complete necessary restoration works to the existing East Mayvon Pond culvert and berm
through the use of Tess intrusive construction techniques. This will ensure the Tong -term stability
of the crossing. The first phase of this work includes the repair of the deteriorated concrete on
the concreteidrop inlet structure; re- lining of the existing 1050 mm.diameter culvert with•a new
pipe_and a downstream pipe extension in order to accommodate the proposed stabilizing berm
along with the remediation of the existing berm and the addition of a 1.5 metre stabilizing berm.
Measures'to provide erosion 'protection at the outlet of the culvert will also be provided along
with the - construction of an overflow spillway.
Additional,sampling will also be carried out on both ponds to confirm potential sediment quality
concerns which would require special remediation measures should any sediment material be
excavated from the ponds in the,future. Upon satisfactory completion of these works, the open •
space block including .the remediated pond area will be transferred into the ownership of the
"TRCA.
In order to achieve the long -term goal of providing fish passage through. the Mayvon Pond
area, future culvert and berm decommissioning works are to be completed by the TRCA. This
will only take place once downstream lands are in public ownership (TRCA). This is expected to
take place once the lands downstream (which are part of a draft approved plan of subdivision -
19T-03V13 (Helmhorst Investments)) proceeds to registration. To assist in this initiative, Block
12 Properties Inc. has committed to provided TRCA with a financial contribution towards these
future works. .
Control of Floodinq:
TRCA staff has reviewed technical submissions relating to the proposed remediation works and
is satisfied that the storage and conveyance of flood waters will not be negatively impacted.
Pollution:
Environmental /sediment fencing will be erected around the work site to prevent sediment
migration into the East Don River. The fencing will be erected prior to the initiation of the work
and maintained during construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
Erosion will be. minimized throughtthe implementation of the aforementioned sediment control
measures. There proposed works will stabilize the berm /culvert and allow its Tong- term,function.
Conservation of Land:
While the works will be conducted in the dry, a temporary diversion of streamflow around the
crossing will be required. As such, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and
Oceans Canada (DFO).
746
Plantings
A comprehensive restoration planting plan will be implemented for the first phase of
works, consisting of native, non - native species. These will be planted along the
regraded slope berm area.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing and Section 4.2.2 (F) -

Proposal:
The proposal is construct - erect or place a structure, conduct site grading, to temporarily or
permanently place, dump or remove any material within a Regulated Area and to alter a
tributary of the Humber River, in order to facilitate the construction of a stormwater -
management pond and its associated outfall (SWM Pond No. 3) within Planning Block 64, in
the City of Vaughan. The proposed servicing works will facilitate the development of an
industrial subdivision on surrounding lands in Block 64. .
Planning Block 64 is located on the west side of the City of Vaughan; bounded by Rutherford
Road to the north, Huntington Road to the east, Langstaff Road to the south and to the west by
Highway 50. The proposed stormwater facility is located south of West Rainbow Creek and
west of Huntington Road. The contributing drainage area to SWM Pond 3 will be composed of
commercial and industrial developments (approximately 50.4 ha (124.6 ac)). SWM Pond 3 is
located on the south side of the watercourse and its associated valley corridor. •
The works will be carried in accordance with the approved Block 64 Master Environmental
Servicing Plan (MESP) and will fulfill a condition of draft approval for the associated Draft
Approved Plan of Subdivision (19T- 06V13). TRCA staff has received and reviewed detailed
technical submissions relating to the proposed works and has provided comments. The agent,

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal is to conduct site grading works and to temporarily or permanently place, dump
or remove any material within a Regulated Area and to alter a tributary of the Humber River
(West Rainbow Creek), in order to install a sanitary sewer line within the Huntington Road
right -of -way, where it crosses the watercourse, in Planning Block 64, in the City of Vaughan.
The proposed servicing works will facilitate the development of an industrial subdivision on
adjacent lands in Block 64.
752
Planning Block 64 is located on the west side of the City of Vaughan; bounded by Rutherford
Road to the north, Huntington Road to the east, Langstaff Road to the south and to the west by
Highway 50. The proposed sanitary sewer line will be installed under the Huntington Road
right -of -way where it bisects the West Rainbow Creek, a tributary of the Humber River. The _
watercourse exhibits low flows and mud substrate during the summer months. It is considered
to, be intermittent in nature while the streambed is dry in the summer.
•
At this time, flows from the watercourse are conveyed through an existing CSP culvert under
Huntington Road. The sanitary sewer line is to be installed a minimum of 2 metres below the
existing culvert. Dewatering works are not expected for the proposed works, as groundwater is
located well below the sanitary sewer line. The crossing will be completed using the open -cut
method. The existing culvert will be supported during construction and will continue to convey
flows across Huntington Road. A contingency plan has been submitted should the culvert fail. .
In order to minimize impacts to the watercourse, works will not be conducted during the
warmwater fisheries timing window (April 1.- June 30).
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works will be located under the Huntington Road right -of -way and outside of the
Regional Storm Flood Plain. TRCA technical staff is satisfied that the works will not negatively
impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Environmental /sediment fencing is proposed as an erosion and sediment control measure
around the construction work site in order to isolate the area from the watercourse. This will
ensure that sediments from construction activities are not deposited in the nearby watercourse.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
Erosion will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned sediment control
measures. There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed
works.
Conservation of Land:
. While there will be no direct in -water works, the proposed contingency plan (should the culvert
fail) involves the use of a pump by -pass system. This includes the use of a temporary coffer
dam and pump by -pass within the watercourse. As such, a Letter of Advice will be issued on
behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). .
Plantings
No vegetation will be removed as part of the proposed works. As such, plantings will not
be required for this application.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the TRCA's Valley and
Stream Corridor Management Program. .

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose is to construct a replacement home, new patio and new pool within a Regulated
Area of the Humber River Watershed. The proposed works-are partially located along the edge
of a valley corridor. Based upon a site visit conducted by TRCA staff July 15, 2008, the subject
property contains a well vegetated, steep slope down to Islington Avenue and a smaller slope
midway through the already developed portion of the property which allows for the existing
walk -out basement.
According to a Geotechnical.Report prepared by Chih S. Huang & Associates Inc., dated July
3,2008, received by the TRCA July 8, 2008, the existing top of bank of the large slope can be .
considered the stable top of bank. Based upon the site visit the existing top of bank coincides
with the edge of the manicured lawn. A review of,the drawings indicates that the edge of the
new patio is setback 5.0 metres and the-proposed pool is setback 6.0 metres from the existing /
stable top of bank. The proposed 'replacement home is setback 9.75 metres at its closest to the
existing / stable top of bank.
As part of this permit, plantings consisting of native, non - invasive species are provided between
the existing top of bank and the edge of the patio. These plantings will create an enhanced
buffer between the valley system and the existing and proposed residential uses. In addition,
these plantings will provide increased slope stability.
Control of Flooding: . •
The proposal is not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, there will be no impact on
the storage or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Sediment control ,fencing will be erected and maintained for the duration of construction to
prevent the transport of sediment into the valley system.
• Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
756
Erosion:
TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied the proposed works are sufficiently setback from the
existing top of bank and will not have an adverse impact on the stability of the slope. .
Conservation of Land:

The permit will be issued for the period of August,8,'2008 to August 7, 2010.
• Letter of Undertking, prepared by A. Kroess, IBI' Group, dated August 6, 2008, to
address all outstanding planning ecology concerns.
RATIONALE
, The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
r Proposal:
The purpose of this proposal is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the replacement of two parallel closed bottom
culverts at the.Caledon Trail immediately upstream of Airport Road in the Town of Caledon.
The works are necessary given that this area experiences significant flooding due to the
existing undersized and submerged culverts under the Caledon Trail, particularly after rainfall
events. The proposed,works aim to reduce and /or eliminate the flooding concerns for this area.
The replacement structure involves an open bottom bridge structure design: The,structure will
- be a 2.4 metres .wide, by' 6 metres long steel bridge with a douglas fir wood deck. Additionally,
the replacement bridge will be situated approximately 6 metres upstream of the existing
crossing to provide for a better alignment with the watercourse. The bridge will be iristalled on
helical piers to avoid the need for dewatering and /or instream work /for the footing installation.
760
As a component of this project, the embankment downstream of the proposed bridge will be •
• excavated and lined with river stone to provide a tie -in with the existing channel and to provide
additional natural bottom area. A total of 20 metres of channel bottom will be created and a
total of 9 metres of channel bottom will be backfilled, resulting in a net gain of 11 metres of
creek channel. Additionally, as an element of this project, an enhancement planting plan has
been submitted to provide an ecological net gain for this reach of the Humber River Watershed.
Control of Flooding:
Based on our review of a hydraulic analysis completed by the proponent, it is anticipated that
the proposed works will improve flooding conditions for this area. Additionally, no adverse
impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flooding waters are anticipated as a result of this
proposal.
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 related to this project.
Conservation of Land:
Although the proposed works will involve the removal of existing vegetation in this area, an
enhancement planting plan has been incorporated into the design of this project. As well, the
overall length of the stream for this reach of the Humber River Watershed will be increased.
Based on our review, it is our opinion that the proposed enhancement plantings, as well as the
proposed increase in channel length, will result in an overall ecological net gain for this area.
The watercourse is classified as a coldwater fish habitat, and as such, no works will occur
between September 15 to June 15 of any given year. However, based on the plans submitted
and mitigation measures incorporated into the design of this application, the proposed works
do not constitute a Harmful Alteration Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat in
accordance with the Federal Fisheries Act. As such, a Letter of Advice (LOA) on behalf of
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be issued with this permit.
Plantings
All proposed plant species will be native and non - invasive consistent with TRCA's
planting guidelines.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposed works are in conformity with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the
Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

Concession 5, (Kennedy Road and Major Mackenzie Drive), in the Town of
Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Angus
Glen Development (2003) Ltd..
The purpose is to undertake site grading, temporary placement of fill material and alter a
watercourse in order to decommission an on -line pond.
The permit will be issued for the period of August 8, 2008 to August 7, 2010.
• Letter of Undertaking from Jo -Anne Lane, agent of the owner, dated August 6, 2008,
committing to revise all 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 undertake site grading, temporarily place fill material and
alter a watercourse in order to commence the first phase of decommissioning of an on -line
pond. The 2.57 hectare pond, known as Stollery Pond, is located within the Angus Glen West
Village landholdings: a major residential development in the Town of Markham south of Major
Mackenzie Drive and west of the Bruce Creek valleylands.
Stollery Pond is an artificial pond. The pond was created by means of a dam by a previous
land owner as part of the former farming operation on the subject lands. Stollery Pond is an
'on -line' pond to a tributary of the Bruce Creek. As the pond is 'on-line,' all stream flows from
the Bruce Tributary travel through the pond prior to flowing downstream to the remainder of the
Bruce Creek subwatershed. The pond has several negative ecological impacts: it disrupts the
natural hydrologic and geomorphic regime of the tributary, it acts as a barrier to the movement
of fish and other aquatic species up and down stream and it alters the thermal regime of the
watercourse by increasing downstream water temperatures.
As a condition to the draft approval of the Angus Glen West Village plan of subdivision
(Subdivision File No. 19TM- 030004), the owner agreed to decommission Stollery Pond and
restore the Bruce Creek tributary, which traverses it, to a more natural state by creating a
natural channel. In return, blocks for two future stormwater management ponds were included
in the draft plan of subdivision on a portion of the Stollery Pond footprint Should this proposal
be approved, it would represent the first phase of work in the decommissioning of the pond by
authorizing the draw down of the pond and the creation of a bypass diversion channel. The
bypass diversion will allow the Bruce Creek tributary flows to continue through the work area
while the pond bed is dried out and work begins on the construction of a permanent natural
channel. It is proposed that the permanent natural channel design would be accommodated
through a revision to the initial permit once the detailed design drawings have been reviewed
and found to be satisfactory to TRCA staff.
762
Control of Flooding:
The proposed bypass channel will be designed to convey the 5 year storm, whereas the
permanent natural channel design will be designed to convey flows up to the Regional Storm
event.
Pollution:
A Dewatering Program and Construction Staging Plan has been submitted in support of the
proposal. A goal of this proposal is to provide sediment free clean water discharge through
careful draw down of the Stoliery Pond that minimizes disturbance of suspension of pond bed
sediments.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
The design of staging plans and sediment and erosion control and prevention measures are to
be included on the plans to ensure that all erosion associated with construction of the bypass
channel and permanent natural channel is prevented or minimized.
Conservation of Land:
This proposal will result in the restoration of a tributary of the Bruce Creek, part of the Rouge
River watershed, to a more natural state and will contribute to the restoration of the Bruce Creek
as a coldwater fishery. In support of the application, a Stollery Pond Characterization report has
been submitted. This report catalogues the existing environmental conditions of Stoliery Pond
and environs. One key observation of the report was that of a Heronry. As part of the
decommissioning of the pond a portion of the heronry will be removed, as it is located on an .
island within the pond. The removal of the heronry will take place pursuant to the requirements
. of the federal Migratory Birds Convention Act.
Issues associated with the management of fish habitat are to be evaluated pursuant to the
TRCA's Level III Agreement, TRCA staff will issue a Letter of Advice or refer the proposal to the
Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada for an Authorization pursuant to the requirements
of the Fisheries Act prior to issuance of the permit.
Plantings
The permanent natural channel design is to be fully vegetated with a riparian planting
plan once the project proceeds to that phase.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is consistent with Section 3.3 C), Policies and Procedures for Identifying
Watercourses and Alterations, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Rouge River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of an alternate access driveway for
the Richmond Hill High School, located at 210 York Boulevard, in the Town of Richmond Hill.
Currently, the existing school access is shared by both the school buses and passenger
vehicles, which has resulted in traffic congestion and safety concerns. The proposed
secondary access is necessary in order to separate car and bus traffic and alleviate traffic
congestion and safety concerns at the high school. The proposed secondary access is located
adjacent to a tributary of the Rouge River. Although the works are sufficiently setback from the
watercourse, a portion of the proposed works are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain.
However, based on our review of the submitted hydraulic analysis, the proposed works will not
impact the storage /conveyance of flood waters. A significant enhancement plan is proposed as
an element of this application in order to achieve a net ecological gain.
Control of Flooding:
There will be no adverse impacts to the storage or conveyance of flood waters as a result of this
project.
Pollution:
Appropriate sediment and erosion controls (i.e., silt fencing) 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 anticipated with this application.

THAT authorization be given to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff
to appear before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) regarding a Draft Plan of
Subdivision application, a Zoning By -law Amendment application and an Official Plan
Amendment application on Part of Lots 2 and 3, Concession 4 (east of Jane Street and
south of Highway 407), in the City of Vaughan (File Nos. 19T- 06V09, Z.06.054 and
OP.06.024);
THAT staff advises the OMB that TRCA has outstanding issues relating to the proposed
Draft Plan of Subdivision application, Zoning By -law Amendment application and Official
Plan Amendment application;
THAT staff continues to work cooperatively with our 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 10.11 hectares in size (24.98 acres) and is located east
of Jane Street and south of Highway 407 in the City of Vaughan. The lands are currently •
vacant. There are existing industrial uses to the east and south, a cemetery to the west and
Highway 407 to the north.
A tributary of the Humber River traverses the western boundary of the subject property. There
is a 2.5 hectare (6.2 acre) tableland woodlot on the southeast portion of the site.
787
The owner submitted an application to amend the Official Plan from General Complementary
Use under the Parkway Belt West Plan to Employment Area General under OPA 450. The
owner has also submitted an application to rezone the lands from PB1(S) Parkway Belt Linear
Facilities Zone and PB2 Parkway Belt Complementary Use Zone to PB1(S)(H) Parkway Belt
Linear Facilities Zone to permit outside storage uses, EM2(H) General Employment Area Zone
to permit employment uses, and 0S1(H) Open Space Conservation Zone for landscaped
buffers and stormwater management uses, and to allow for the required exceptions to facilitate
the proposed uses. A Draft Plan of Subdivision application has also been submitted to facilitate
the development on the 10.11- hectare site.
The applications have been appealed to the OMB by the proponent based on the City of
Vaughan's failure to render a decision on the proposed Plan of Subdivision and Council's
refusal or neglect to enact the proposed Zoning By -law Amendment and Official Plan
Amendment, pursuant to the Planning Act.
The applications were initially circulated to TRCA on September 8, 2006. TRCA staff has
submitted written comments on the applications to the City and the applicant on three
occasions (November 12, 2007, December 4, 2007 and July 24, 2008). These comments were
provided upon completion of the review of technical documents and associated
re- submissions. TRCA staff has also met with the applicant, its consultants, and staff from the
City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York and Ministry of Natural Resources on numerous
occasions.
RATIONALE
Based on staff review of the applicant's submissions to date, there are six outstanding issues
relating to the Draft Plan of Subdivision, Zoning By -law Amendment and Official Plan
Amendment applications submitted by Invar (Freshway) Limited.
i) Functional Servicing Report
The applicant needs to submit a revised functional servicing report to the satisfaction of TRCA,
which speaks to matters such as stormwater management, water balance, and erosion and
sediment control.
ii) Watercourse Realignment
As was noted previously, a tributary of the Humber River traverses the western boundary of the
subject property. As a condition of sale of the subject property from the Mount Pleasant Group
of Cemeteries to Invar (Freshway) Limited, the applicant 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. A new channel design has been proposed, which 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.
These works require approval from TRCA pursuant to the Development, Interference with
Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation (Ontario Regulation
166/06). TRCA's Executive Committee approved the permits for the proposed watercourse
alteration on October 12, 2007 (Permit Nos. C -07768 and C- 07767).
788
These previous permit approvals need to be accurately reflected and incorporated into the
current planning proposals.
iii) .Designation /Zoning
The applicant needs to demonstrate that the stream corridor on the subject property (the
natural feature and hazards plus the requisite buffer) will be designated /zoned in an Open
Space category.
iv) Restoration
The applicant must ensure that the proposed restoration /re- naturalization of the open space
areas, including the realigned stream corridor, stormwater management pond and landscape
buffer, will be to the satisfaction of TRCA:
v) Woodlot
TRCA staff identified the 2.5 hectare (6.2 acre) tableland woodlot on the subject property as an
important feature in the landscape and one that provides habitat functions and ecological
services in a portion of Vaughan that has very little natural cover. The woodlot also contains an
endangered tree species, Butternut. The feature has been identified as a Regionally Significant
Woodlot in the 2005 York Region Significant Woodlands Study because of the presence of
Butternut and its proximity to the adjacent watercourse.
Due to the ecological functions the woodlot provides and the policies regarding the protection
of Butternut habitat, the initial position of TRCA staff was that this woodlot should be protected.
However, the woodlot is currently being impacted by flooding (due to historical drainage
issues) and other influences that are significantly reducing its function. Staff notes that the
long -term protection of this woodlot and its functions is highly dependant on the appropriate
management of this feature. This includes the resolution of the current flooding on the
property, the establishment of appropriate buffers and the woodlot's management for Butternut
regeneration. TRCA staff recognizes that an intense level of management is required on this
site and that this level of management is not necessarily practical, nor is the applicant obligated
to undertake such measures.
TRCA staff has also been in contact with staff from the City of Vaughan, the Regional
Municipality of York and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) regarding the woodlot.
With respect to the issue of Butternut, MNR has concluded that "Given the worsening condition
of the trees, the decline in suitable Butternut habitat, and the lack of recovery habitat in
surrounding lands, it is the opinion of MNR staff that the Butternut at this location do not
contribute to the long term survival or recovery of the Butternut species in any substantive
manner, in the current planning context" (MNR, Letter re. Invar (Freshway) Limited, dated June
23, 2008). •
The Regional Municipality of York has opted to proceed with an approach that would allow for
the removal of the woodlot, but would require the applicant to prepare a Forested Area
Compensation Plan to the satisfaction'of York Region Natural Heritage and Forestry Services
and TRCA. "The described plan shall outline specific measures to provide a sustainable forest
environment for the Butternut trees" (Regional Municipality of York, Letter re. Invar (Freshway)
Limited, dated October 11, 2007).
789
TRCA staff has carefully considered the arguments for both the removal and the retention of the •
woodlot. Technical staff supports the approach put forward by the Regional Municipality of
York.. However,•we have first recommended that a terms of reference for the Forested Area.
Compensation Plan, including a conceptual site plan, be provided to TRCA for review and
approval. Only once a satisfactory Terms of Reference and conceptual site plan have been
( submitted, will .TRCA staff be in a position to make a recommendation to the City of Vaughan
about the removal of the woodlot.
Thus, TRCA's issue at the OMB is whether or not an adequate Terms of Reference for a
Forested Area Compensation Plan, including a conceptual site plan, has been prepared by the
applicant as it relates to the proposed removal of the woodlot on the subject property.
vi) Resolution of the Existing Violation
TRCA Enforcement staff issued a violation notice to the property owner under Ontario
Regulation 166/06 on ,July 22, 2008 (File No. V2388) because the sediment control fences on
the site were not being properly maintained, which caused sedimentation in the watercourse.
TRCA staff seeks to ensure that this violation is resolved or commitments have been made to
ensure its timely resolution through our continued discussions with the applicant on the
planning applications.
In'Iight of these issues, TRCA staff attended an OMB pre - hearing for these files on June 26,
2008. • Due to the short notice for the pre- hearing and the scheduling of the TRCA's Executive
Committee meetings, TRCA staff attended the pre- hearing in order to, secure our presence in
this matter. This. ensured that the TRCA had party status since the first pre- hearing usually sets
out the parties, which is done at the request of the hearing chair person. A'second pre- hearing
is scheduled for July 30, 2008.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
TRCA staff is requesting the . authorization of the Executive Committee to attend the OMB
hearing scheduled to commence in October to ensure that TRCA interests are protected and
addressed. Staff will retain legal counsel for the hearing should it be deemed necessary.

COATSWORTH CUT DREDGING PROJECT
Tender RSD08 -19. Award of Contract RSD08 -19 for channel maintenance
dredging of the navigation channel at Coatsworth Cut, Ashbridge's Bay
Park, City of Toronto.
Ron Moeser
Suzan Hall
THAT Contract RSD08 -19 for the channel maintenance dredging of Coatsworth Cut be
awarded to Galcon Marine for the total cost not to exceed $165,372.50 plus applicable
taxes, which includes a contingency amount of $5,000.00 to be expended as authorized
by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff, it being the lowest tender
meeting TRCA specifications.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Maintenance dredging at Coatsworth Cut, Ashbridge's Bay Park was last completed in 2007
with the removal of approximately 5,500 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. TRCA
performed an updated sounding survey of the channel in June 2008, which indicated that
additional material had been deposited within portions of the channel since completion of
dredging operations in 2007. 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 2008 boating season and into 2009.
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 2008 season and into 2009. As a.result, TRCA proposes to dredge approximately 4,250
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.
Tender RSD08 -19 was publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial News on June 26;2008 with
a site information meeting held on July 3, 2008. A total of 3 potential bidders requested tender
documents with the following bids submitted:

The bidders mobilization /demobilization estimates are predominately based on the location of
their equipment and the costs incurred in transporting equipment to and from a site. McNally
Construction's dredging equipment is stationed in Halifax and this is reflected in the variance of
their mobilization /demobilization estimate in comparison with the other bidders.
Based on the bid results staff recommend Contract RSD08 -19 be awarded to Galcon Marine for
. a total cost of $165,372.50, plus GST, as they are the lowest bidder that meets TRCA
specifications.

MIMICO WATERFRONT LINEAR PARK PROJECT
Pathway Lighting Assembly. To enter into a purchase agreement for the
supply and delivery of lighting assemblies with King Luminaire.
Colleen Jordan
Reenga Mathivanan
THAT the supply and delivery of lighting assemblies as part of the installation of pathway
lighting for the Mimico Waterfront Linear Park Project be awarded as a sole source
contract to King Luminaire at a total cost not to exceed $56,178.00 plus applicable taxes.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Mimico Waterfront Linear Park Project is located at the south end of Superior Avenue south
of Lake Shore Boulevard West in the City of Toronto. Implementation of phase one of the
Mimico Waterfront Linear Park Project commenced,on July 4, 2006 with an anticipated
completion date of July 2008. Part of the phase one project includes the incorporation of a
lighting system along the newly constructed pedestrian trail connecting Norris Crescent in the
west to Superior Avenue at the east phase 1 project limit. The design of the lighting system is
to provide functionality as well as a decorative appeal to compliment the many newly
constructed features of the waterfront park. The installation of park lighting for the Mimico
Waterfront Linear Park Project will provide safe public access and allow for increased visibility
along the pedestrian trail and within the vicinity of the waterfront park.
793
RATIONALE
The City of Toronto Parks staff provided the specification for this proposed Tight pole and
luminaire assembly required for the park lighting. This same lighting system is presently
installed at other various waterfront park locations including The Lakeshore Grounds at Colonel
Samuel Smith Park and the Prince of Wales Park at 2nd Street and Lakeshore Drive. The use of
this type of lighting at these waterfront parks has been found to be practical while enhancing
the attributes of the overall park.
In addition, the manufacturer of the specified light pole and luminaire assembly utilizes only one
local distributor, King Luminaire, and as a result only one quotation could be obtained. In
keeping with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's Purchasing Policy, the
authorization to enter into negotiations without formal competitive bids is justified as per Criteria
1 that permits obtaining goods and services from King Luminaire based on a need for
compatibility with previous goods and services acquired for the aforementioned waterfront
parks. As they are the only distributor for this manufactured product, staff is recommending to
engage with King Luminaire on a sole source basis to supply and deliver the light pole and
luminaire assembly to the Mimico Waterfront Linear Park Project site for a total cost not to
exceed $56,178.00, plus applicable taxes. Sole Source contracts between $50,000 and
$200,000 requires Executive Committee approval.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Cost of the project is not to exceed $56,178.00, plus applicable taxes. Funds are available
within account #206 -90 from Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation.

BACKGROUND
Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the
Greenlands Acquisition. Project for 2006 -2010. -
The subject property is located on the east side of Shoal Point Road, south of Bayly Street
within the Town of Ajax. TRCA-staff has been approached by representatives of Liza
Communities, who are acting as agents on behalf of Ann and Janine Lajiter (the current
landowners);in accordance with an executed Offer to Purchase agreement, regarding the
donation of 15.40 hectares (38.06 acres), more or less, of ecologically sensitive land which is
comprised of a portion•of the Warbler's Swamp. Liza Communities is in the process of
purchasing the entire land holdings from the Lajiters in order to develop a residential
subdivision on the developable portion of the property (i.e. outside the Regional Storm flood
plain of the Carruthers Creek arid Warblers Swamp); a smaller buffer area within the flood plain
and abutting :Warbler's Swamp will be conveyed to TRCA for nominal consideration at a later
date by Liza Communities as part otthe subdivision approval process.
Attached is a sketch showing the location-of the subject lands.
. RATIONALE
• As mentioned previously, the Lajiter property contains a portion of Warbler's Swamp which has
been classified as a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) and an Area of Natural and
Scientific Interest (ANSI) by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources; it is also connected to -
the TRCA classified Carruthers Creek Marsh and Carruthers Creek Forest Environmentally
Significant Areas. The acquisition of this portion of the Warblers Swamp will result in significant
environmentally sensitive lands being conveyed to TRCA as protected greenspace, will provide
long -term protection to the PSW /ANSI and will also help to protect the natural heritage
features previously acquired by TRCA.in this area.
DETAILS OF WORK TO,,BE DONE
Certification and approval otan appraisal is to be obtained from Environment Canada in
compliance with the Ecological Gifts Program.
• TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
On December, 10, 2004, the Ontario government announced a regulation that expands the
environmentalicriteria 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 2009 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 since these types of lands require a low degree
of maintenance.

REFORESTATION SEEDLING PROCUREMENT
2009 - 2011. To authorize staff to negotiate with Somerville Nurseries Inc.
for the supply of reforestation seedlings to supply anticipated Toronto
and Region Conservation Authority program and project demand for the
three year period to ensure an uninterrupted supply of stock through
2011. .
Maja Prentice
Rob Ford
THAT staff be authorized to negotiate terms satisfactory to Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff with Somerville Nurseries Inc. to ensure an
uninterrupted supply of reforestation seedlings based on TRCA seedling demand
forecasts to provide for program and project needs to December 31, 2009;
AND FURTHER THAT TRCA officials be authorized and directed to take such action as
may be necessary to implement the seedling procurement including signing of
documents.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Since 1995, with the closure of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources forest tree nursery
program, TRCA and other Greater Toronto Area.(GTA) conservation authorities (Credit Valley,
Nottawasaga Valley: Lake Simcoe Region and Halton Region) have been coordinating the
purchase of reforestation seedlings as a means of supplying their individual program
requirements. While each conservation authority forecasts it own requirements independently,
Somerville Nurseries offers equivalent unit pricing (below market list) to the conservation
authorities, providing each the benefit of combined purchase pricing.
Somerville Nurseries Inc., located in Everett (near Alliston), Ontario, effectively took over the
supply of reforestation stock following the provincial governments decision to transfer the
propagation and production to the private sector.
TRCA's annual seedling demand forecast is based on TRCA's experience with facilitating
internal reforestation needs for TRCA and private landowner planting programs. In recent
years, TRCA's demand has increased and forecasts reflect this. However, recent project
initiatives have come forward in an accelerated-fashion and have created a shortfall between
anticipated demand and actual orders.
TRCA's initial 5 year seedling demand forecast was provided t� Somerville Seedlings Inc. in
2004 and was updated in 2007 to assist them in directing seed collection and seeding targets
as it takes up to 3 years to produce a marketable seedling.
Forecasted demand was based on historical orders and on program information available in
2004. At that time staff had anticipated a base level of demand at 50,000- 60,000 seedlings per
year to address reforestation needs. Annual demand for the 2004 -2006 period has averaged
62,000 seedlings, with demand spiking in 2007 to just under 100,000 units.
806
A :combination of new programming, special projects and enhanced funding initiatives by the
Regional Municipality of Peel have now left TRCA's forecasted demand in a seedling deficit
• position.
In Spring 2008, TRCA acquired more than 200,000 reforestation seedlings from Somerville
Nurseries Inc. to supply reforestation programs and projects including:
• Private Landowner Reforestation Assistance;
• Claireville Restoration project;
• York Region /Slokker Property reforestation project;
• Oak Ridges Corridor Park reforestation (Phase 1);
• Rouge Park /Little Rouge Corridor reforestation (Pike/Tompion).
To ensure an uninterrupted supply is available on an ongoing basis, staff now need to provide
and confirm seedling demand targets for the three year period.ending in 2011. In each
successive year, staff will be requested to provide an updated-demand forecast for a'period 3
years hence.
Somerville Nurseries Inc. continues to offer us the best combination of:
•: consistent seedling quality;
• seed zone and genetic source control;
• excellent unit pricing;
• ability t� provide for identified stock - species, size, type, age- class;
• flexibility to meet last minute demand for additional stock;
• •- convenience as the most local supplier; and
• • willingness to work with conservation authorities to achieve seedling target demand.
Staff recommend that TRCA negotiate a mutually acceptable supply agreement that will
address the shortfall in seedling inventories that is expected in the`supply chain. Failure to take
such action would result in scheduling delays and /or cancellation of orders for reforestation
stock. The net result could mean a reduction in planting effort
FINANCIAL DETAILS
All costs associated with the procurement of reforestation stock are recovered from the end
user program or project in the year in which the seedlings arapurchased and delivered. Funds
have been-allocated in individual project/program budgets for the 2009 year.
Based on an average unit cost of $0.54 per tree (2008 pricing, applicable taxes extra), the
anticipated,annual cost of seedling supply is expected to be on the order of $55,000 per year.
It is anticipated that Somerville Nurseries Inc.•will require a 25% deposit (standard terms) to
confirm the Spring; 2009 seedling order by late January, 2009. Charges'are assigned to
116 -09 -230.

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the World Green Building Council
(WorldGBC) continue to receive support and assistance from Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff and associates where required. CARRIED
•
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #7/07, held on September 28, 2007, Resolution #A199/07 was approved,
in part, as follows:
...AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to report back to the Business Excellence
Advisory Board on an annual basis with an update on the status of the business
relationship.
Interest in green building councils has been growing rapidly over the past year. TRCA and
WorldGBC staff are working to ensure the resources required to support the development of
new councils are in place to respond to the growing demand.
The following list of 2008 accomplishments demonstrates the effectiveness of the partnership
between WorldGBC and TRCA.
1. World Green Building Council Secretariat Anniversary
On May 6, 2008 staff celebrated the one year anniversary of the WorldGBC Secretariat with
dignitaries from TRCA, the Province of Ontario, The Canada Green Building Council
(CaGBC) and more. The event took place at the Gardner Museum in Toronto and was the
first public launch of the new WorldGBC website. Guest speakers included Minister of
• Natural Resources Donna Cansfield and former Minister of Finance Greg Sorbara. The
event was sponsored by Autodesk and Colliers International.
2. Building Environmental Assessment Methods: A Review of International
Developments
Following the February, 2008 WorldGBC board meeting in London, England, Dr. Raymond
J. Cole, Professor and Director of the School of Architecture, University of British Columbia,
delivered the final draft of his report to WorldGBC for review. Over the past several months
the WorldGBC Executive Committee, as well as various other board members with a strong
background in rating tool development, adaptation and adoption have been reviewing the
. report for final comments and sign -off. It is expected that this report will be released by the
.end of 2008
3. Global Green Trends SmartMarket ReportTM
WorldGBC has partnered with McGraw -Hill Construction (MHC) to investigate the size and
scope of the green building marketplace worldwide. The resulting Global Green Trends
Building SmartMarket Report"' will offer an assessment of the global green building
marketplace. Built around the results of the WorldGBC /MHC survey of regional green
building market trends, the report will also summarize the state of green building across
different regions of the world, feature country and project case studies and include
interviews with green building leaders. This report will be part of MHC's SmartMarket
Report" series, which offers comprehensive information on the latest construction trends
based upon original research.
810
A Chinese - language version of the report will be released at MHC's upcoming China Green
Building and Energy Efficiency Conference in September and the English- language version
will be released immediately following, in time for the Sustainable Buildings 2008 (SB08)
Conference in Melbourne, Australia.
4. Council Development
In February 2008 the WorldGBC held its Annual International Congress and board meeting
in London; England., During the event the Board of Directors welcomed the German,
Sustainable. Building Council (GeSBC) as a full- member of the WorldGBC, as well as -the
• ColombiaGBC and PolandGBC as emerging members.
The congress program was designed to provide both developing and more established
councils with adequate forums to discuss current issues and identify how the WorldGBC
can better provide support. Tailored half -day workshops were also organized with
SpainGBC and ChinaGBC. Delegates of over 20 countries were in attendance. WorldGBC
Secretariat staff met with many groups in London, and focused efforts in helping countries
in theEuropean Union. Below are•some of the advancements seen:
Netherlands: a strong DutchGBC is emerging. The DutchGBC enjoys good private sector
support, with close to 40 founding members (May, 2008). In preparing the DutchGBC for
membership, the WorldGBC has reviewed theirbylaws to ensure the Board of Directors
(BOD) .is elected by members and that the BOD's composition is balanced. The official
incorporation of the DutchGBC occurred on June 1, 2008. The first election of a BOD will
occur in October, 2008. •
Italy: There are a number of regional groups in Italy engaged in green buildings. Two have
expressed interest in, joining the WorldGBC: one is led by Andrea'Moro (iiSBE Italia) and the
' other by.Mario Zoccateli (Trento). WorldGBC•visited Italy in June, 2008 to.meetwith all
interested parties. The goal of the trip was to bring all interested parties together and to
perform due diligence.
Romania: Romania is at the very early stages of forming a council. WorldGBC met with
Steve Borncamp in London in February 2008 as he is leading efforts to establish acouncil.
The group`of initiators has achieved impressive progress over the past couple of months.
WorldGBC, has supported Mr. Borncamp's effort by arranging for Dr. Boschi from Bovis
Lend Lease to participate in the first green building conference in Romania, where a formal
'green building 'council initiative was launched.
Spain: Over the last few months; WorldGBC worked closely with the members developing
SpainGBC including revisions to their bylaws (April, 2008) and governance structure (May,
2008).
Poland: WorldGBC admitted PolandGBC as an emerging member in February, 2008 on the
condition -it would amend and review:
• bylaws (draft);
• board composition;
• elections (set a realistic time frame for elections). •
811
The PolandGBC confirmed that all WorldGBC requirements would be met in due course.
PolandGBC needs to expand its board to include industry in a more representative way.
Overall funding should not be a barrier, and an aggressive staffing plan should ensure
dynamism and quick results. WorldGBC is working to support the PolandGBC to structure.
its operations in time for the Kyoto meetings taking place in Poland in December.
Other Efforts - WorldGBC efforts over the last 16 months are coming to fruition in Latin
America. Solid green building council activity is now occurring in Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
Colombia and Costa -Rica. The green building councils in the region are coordinating their
activities and starting to form a support structure for sharing experiences, resources and
members.
WorldGBC expects to review the membership applications of the following countries over
the next few months:
Full- Member Status:
Argentina
Colombia
South Africa
Emerging Member Status:
Netherlands
• Israel
Singapore
5. United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change - Poland
Earlier this year the WorldGBC submitted its application for observation status to the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Secretariat. The UNFCCC is
an international treaty which enables countries to consider what can be done to reduce
global warming and to cope with inevitable temperature increases. The Conference of the
Parties (COP) is the prime authority of the convention. It is an association of all member
countries (or 'parties) and usually meets annually for a period of two weeks. The next
session is in Poland. These sessions are attended by several thousand government
. delegates, observer organizations and journalists. It is at these sessions that the WorldGBC
can be most effective by providing advice on policies and information on _
emerging /available green building technologies and how necessary this work is to
mitigating climate change.
In order to attend the convention, international and non - government organizations (NGOs)
are encouraged to apply for observer status which permits their attendance and enables
these groups to speak but not to participate in decision - making. The term 'observer' is
somewhat misleading as it implies a quiet- sounding group which is not necessarily the
intended role of WorldGBC at the convention. Some groups with observer status include
several of the WorldGBC partners, such as the United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), as well as the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO), the International Energy Agency and the Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC). To date, over 50 intergovernmental agencies and •
international organizations attend sessions of the Conference of Parties.
812
NGOs are also encouraged to obtain observers status; currently, more than 600 NGOs are
accredited to participate in meetings related to the convention. WorldGBC was granted
conditional acceptance, with final approval anticipated at the next United Nations Climate
Change Conference in Poland on December 1-12,2008. With the conditional approval,
WorldGBC-is able to submit a request to host a side event at this conference; this
application is due 10 weeks prior to the conference (September 24th, 2008). A side event
provides, an excellent forum for discussion of the important work the WorldGBC and what its
members are doing, as well as showcasing the green building agenda and its contributions
to mitigating climate change on an influential and international scale.
6. WorldGBC Website
The new WorldGBC website design is now in place and will continue to evolve over the next
year. Below is a quick summary of activity to date and expected targets for completing
unfinished tasks:
Phase One, Activity to Date - December to August, 2008
a. Soft launch on Friday, May 2, 2008; new website functioning
b. Public launch on Tuesday, May 6, 2008 at WorldGBC Secretariat First Anniversary

c. .Minor edits and functionality (i.e. webmail, etc) completed week of May 6; 2008
d. Phase One of website project complete - includes website design; major content
written, edited and presented for key audiences; smooth functionality, etc.
Phase Two, Expected Targets- August to December, 2008
Minor content improvements:
a. Events section
b. Contact information for emerging and active contacts
c. Council development section improvements
d. New photos for Board of Directors
e. Content projects:
• Resource section: includes re- instating information regarding various rating tools
and the sharing of Internet protocol of these tools with other GBCs; articles and
press releases from GBCs announcing activities and projects with international
significance or relevance to other merribers..
• Market transformation section
• Calendar,of.events
• E- Newsletter creation •
• 1Speakers roster guidelines and request form
• Frequently Asked Questions
Phase Three, Next Steps - December to March, 2009
a. Community forum instructions and plans to engage /orient directors and members so
that everyone gains the confidence to rely on the website forregular communications
and updates.
b. To support new GBCs, website framework replication process will begin so that
developing GBCs can.have a template to use in creating their own websites. This will
dramatically increase a new GBC's ability to establish internet presence without all the
work or costs traditionally associated with this process.
813
7. Province of Ontario
a. Funding Status
WorldGBC received a commitment from the Premier of Ontario's office to continue
WorldGBC funding for the next 3 years for a total of $700,000. With this commitment
comes a number of restrictions that were not in place in the original grant provided in
2007 that was awarded to secure secretariat operations for Ontario.
Overview of restrictions are as follows:
• New funding must be used to directly support Secretariat activities /operations and
projects that would give direct benefit to the Province of Ontario.
• Funds cannot be used to cover board expenses, travel, council development, events
outside of Ontario (except the WorldGBC Congress as money can be used to
support this annual event).
b. University Pilot Program
As one of the initiatives designed to provide a benefit to the Province of Ontario, a
formal Memorandum of Understanding was signed on May 21, 2008 between
.WorldGBC and York University to begin a pilot program for green building council
support. The ceremonial signing was attended by WorldGBC Secretariat, York
University, Ontario Centres of Excellence staff and others. WorldGBC's Honorary Patron,
the.Honourable Donna Cansfield, Ontario's Minister of Natural Resources, also attended
to share a few words and offer support to this new partnership. York University is a
member of the International Network of Universities. This new pilot program will be
developed over the next 1 -2 years, and will then be packaged and shared within the
International Network of Universities so that schools will be able conduct the program
within their countries. This program has the potential to grow to a substantial scale and.
engage graduating students from around the world in the effectiveness of green
building design and development. Funding for this program is under development with
the York University Foundation, The Schad Foundation and Ontario Centres of
Excellence. Currently there are 4 main components under development for this
program:
1. Research & Knowledge Mobilization
York University graduate students and /or faculty will collaborate with WorldGBC, •
green building councils, or industry partners to conduct research on topics related
to green building, sustainable development and climate change. A research help
desk will be set up that will link parties with a need for research on a specific topic
with a graduate student or faculty member suitable to carry out the research. York
University Libraries has offered to work with WorldGBC to develop an indexing
strategy for an online resource library.
814
2. International Council Support
Through the York International Undergraduate Internship Program, York University
undergraduate students, paired with undergraduate students from York University's
partner universities, will have the opportunity to work with established and emerging
international green building councils: Participants for these opportunities will be
drawn from a range of disciplines such as Business, Administrative Studies,
Environmental Studies and Engineering. Ten internship sites will be chosen, each
receiving two interns: one York University intern and one from a local university.
These 3 -month internships will commence May, 2009.
3. WorldGBC Secretariat Support
York University students will gain practical work experience as interns with the
Secretariat.
4. International School for Sustainable Design and Development
The WorldGBC.and York University will partner to create a 3 -week summer study
program for academic credit, taught by York University faculty, which focuses on the
fundamentals ofsustainable design and development from an international
perspective. A portion of the course will focus on the importance and function of
green building councils. This course will be open to students from the International
Network of Universities. The course will be held at The Living City Campus at
Kortright in Ontario.
c. Region of Peel Climate Change Funding
The WorldGBC has been fortunate to be included in Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority's climate.change initiative with the Regional Municipality of Peel. Peel Region
provides TRCA with substantial capital grants to create projects that help Peel Region
meet local goals to address climate change. For the second year in a row, the
WorldGBC Secretariat has received $25,000 to support WorldGBC.efforts. As a result,
the WorldGBC is,able to conduct the major research projects outlined above.
10. Funding Task Force / Global Partners Initiative
The new WorldGBC Funding Task Force held its first conference call on May 2, 2008.
Chaired by Paul.King of United KingdomGBC, participants discussed how the WorldGBC
could fulfil its annual budget projections without appearing to compete with member
councils for sponsorship. These discussions are at a very crucial time for WorldGBC as
interest in, green buildings continue to grow. Strategies are under review including a 100%
membership funded model and a diversified funding model to include support from
foundations. As requested by the WorldGBC Boardrof Directors at the meeting in London,
the WorldGBC Secretariat provided an initial framework for discussions•on how WorldGBC
could approach corporate leaders that would best support green building council
' members. Titled the 'Global Partners Initiative' (GPI), the first draft of this framework
demonstrates how funding collected by WorldGBC would be divided into 3 parts:
• 45% direct funding to new councils;
• 35 %idedicated to supporting projects and events (WorldGBC & members);
• 20% applied to WorldGBC overhead.
815
FINANCIAL DETAILS
One of the primary efforts of the WorldGBC Secretariat over the past year has been to review
past financial records and engage professional auditors to ensure records have been
appropriately managed and filed. It is important that all financial records are kept in
accordance with the American, and now Canadian, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP).
WorldGBC has completed gathering the back -up and history related to all financial transactions
related to WorldGBC Business for the 2006 and 2007 calendar years. Staff at the Secretariat
and in the TRCA accounting department have now prepared the financial statements for these
two years.
Review of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) filings have been completed by an auditor in the
United States of America.
The Secretariat and the TRCA accounting department are now re- assessing the set up of
accounts to create a more efficient and streamlined way of financial reporting. It is expected
that formal financial reports will be audited and ready for the WorldGBC Board of Directors to
review before the WorldGBC SB08 conference in Melbourne, Australia on September 21, 2008.
Following the completion of the financial audits, WorldGBC Secretariat staff will be coordinating
and preparing the not - for - profit WorldGBC tax returns in Ontario, Canada.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal is to replace an existing stormwater outfall, install a new stormwater treatment
chamber and a new rip -rap overflow drainage channel, and regrade around the installation on
lands owned by the University of Toronto. The lands are located east of the Environment
Canada building on the east side of Dufferin Street, south of Steeles Avenue West and north of
•
G. Ross Lord Park in the City of Toronto. The project is part of a larger stormwater
management system retrofit on the Environment Canada lands. The retrofit is designed to
address frequent localized flooding of the Environment Canada building while improving water
quality and avoiding downstream erosion of the Don River. The proposed outfall will drain the
site more effectively, while adding a water quality treatment component. The design capacity of
the system is limited as it must also accommodate stormwater runoff from Dufferin Street while
retaining the existing building and parking. Any storm runoff over and above the design
capacity will be conveyed to the vegetated rip -rap overflow channel and this channel will
provide some quality treatment.
Control of Flooding:
The works are not located within a Regional Storm Floodplain and will have no impact on the
storage or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Temporary sediment control has been provided per the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area
Conservation Authorities, Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction.
There are no geotechnical issues with the proposal.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
834
Erosion:
The stormwater management system proposed for the Environment Canada and the University
of Toronto lands is designed not to exacerbate erosion of the downstream channel and the Don
River.
Conservation of Land:
Some tree removal and ground cover will be removed to facilitate construction. However, the
removals are not significant and will have no impact on the conservation of land.
Plantings
Native tree, shrub and seed mix will be installed on the restored areas.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is in conformity with Section 4.3., Infrastructure and Servicing, of the TRCA's

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The applicant seeks permission to permanently place or remove fill material, within the
Regulated Area to facilitate the construction of a rear yard deck attached to a home currently
being constructed in a Regional Storm flood Plain. The construction of the new home was
approved by the City of Vaughan without consultation with the TRCA. The Home and proposed
rear deck are located south west of Major Mackenzie Drive and Keele Street in the City of
Vaughan. A tributary of the West Don River is located to the south of the site. Due to the
proximity of the watercourse to the site, the area is currently subject to flooding in the event of a
Regional Storm, and is therefore within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. An analysis of flood
elevations on the site has determined that, while the home may be located within the flood
plain, the proposed rear yard deck is located outside of the floodplain.
Control of Flooding:
The Proposed rear yard deck is located outside of.the flood plain. As such, the storage or
conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted by the proposed works.
Pollution:
A sediment and erosion control fence is to surround the site during all construction activity. The
site is separated from the watercourse by Naylon Street.

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 in
order to establish theiong -term grades for the 'Tributary B' valleyland system within the
developing residential community known as Box Grove within the southeast portion of the
Town of Markham's urban area. Permission is also sought in order to construct a structure, a
pedestrian bridge, in order to provide.pedestrian connectivity between two portions of the Box
Grove community over the Tributary B valleylands. Tributary B is a tributary to the Little. Rouge
Creek, which fransects the eastern portion of the Box Grove Secondary Plan Area from the
north at Highway 407 to the south at 14th Avenue.
855
As part of the functional design of the community, proposals were made within the
Environmental Master Drainage Plan (EMDP) for Box Grove to undertake selective cut - and -fill
works to manipulate the Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with Tributary B in order to
provide a more rational valleyland configuration for development purposes. Policy 3.2.2 C 2) of
TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program contemplates permitting the filling of
portions of the Regional Storm Flood Plain in order to accommodate development when a
stream corridor has an unusually wide flood plain with shallow depths of infrequent flooding.
The proponent was required to submit an analysis that met several criteria. It was determined
that the stream corridor characteristics of Tributary B met the criteria set out in policy 3.2.2 C 2)
and an analysis has been provided in the EMDP which has been reviewed and approved by
TRCA staff. This proposal contains the detailed grading plans that would implement the
cut - and -fill works proposed in the EMDP document.
A second component of this permit proposal is the construction of a pedestrian crossing over
Tributary B. The crossing would provide a clear span over Tributary B 16.5 metres long and 4
metres wide. No alteration of Tributary B is required in order to implement the proposed
design, which also includes two approach slopes on each side of the crossing and in addition
to wing walls upon which the bridge structure is to rest.
It is proposed that the issuance of a permit for this proposal, if approved by the Executive
Committee, would be in two phases with Phase 1 for the cut - and -fill works whereas the second
phase would approve the pedestrian crossing.
Control of Flooding:
TRCA Water Resource staff have reviewed the grading plans for the proposed cut - and -fill works
and have determined that a minimum freeboard of 0.20 metres has been provided from the .
Regional Storm Flood Plain for all residential lots that abut the Tributary B valleylands. This
means that all residential lots would be at least 0.20 metres above the Regional Storm Flood
Plain when such an event occurs. The proposed pedestrian bridge will cause some hydraulic
impacts to the flood plain, however this will not affect the residential lots mentioned previously.
Pollution:
Sediment and erosion control works are to be in place prior to all grading activities to avoid the
sedimentation of the tributary.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There are no slope stability or geotechnical concerns associated with this proposal.
Conservation of Land:
No mature vegetation is to be removed within the Tributary B valleylands in order to
accommodate the cut - and -fill works. An extensive restoration plan will form part of these
works, which will restore and enhance the vegetation within the Tributary B valleyland system.
Plantings
• Plantings will be provided, as discussed above.
856
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is consistent with Section 3.2.2 C) 2, Policies & Procedures For Establishing
Corridor Boundaries & Alterations, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program.

on the subject property and the external lands, this proposal involves constructing two (2)
storm sewers located within the Regional Road 50 right -of -way that will pick -up flows from
existing culverts and combine them with flows associated with the future widening of Regional
Road 50. In this regard, Culverts One and Two (drainage area of 18.25 hectares) will discharge
to the northern of the two pipe systems. This system will discharge from to the Clarkway
Tributary valley lands approximately 500 metres north of Queen Street. Culvert Three (drainage
area of 4.75 hectares) will connect to the southern pipe system and discharge to an existing
ditch north of Queen Street.
The northern storm system which is designed to collect drainage from Culverts One and Two is
designed to discharge into the Clarkway Tributary valley lands through the subject property.
The proposed outfall structure is designed to minimize erosion potential. A scour pool is
proposed at the storm outfall to dissipate the flow energy and prevent erosion.
As noted above, the subject property abuts a valley corridor of the Clarkway Tributary. Through
a previous Official Plan and Zoning By -law Amendment Application (City File No. C10E4.2) for
the subject property to permit commercial, office and industrial land uses, the valley corridor
including a 5 metre inland buffer was gratuitously dedicated to the City of Brampton. Therefore,
the proposed outfall structure is to be constructed on lands owned by the City of Brampton. As
such, a separate TRCA permit application has been submitted to facilitate the proposed
stormwater management works located on the adjacent property owned by the municipality.
The works located on lands owned by the City of Brampton are currently before the TRCA
Executive Committee and on this agenda.
As an element of the above noted Official Plan and Zoning By -law Amendment Application, at
the detailed design stage, the proponent agreed to provide an extensive enhancement planting
plan for the valley lands and the buffer area between the valley corridor and the proposed
development. Through this permit application, the enhancement planting plan has been
submitted, which in our opinion provides an ecological net gain for this reach of the Humber
River Watershed.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, the
storage and /or conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted as a result of this development.
Pollution:
Erosion and sediment controls have been incorporated into the construction sequencing for
this project. As a result, appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed and
maintained for all phases of construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns related to this proposal.
865
Conservation of Land:
No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. However, an extensive
enhancement planting plan has been submitted with this application to improve the ecological
condition of this area. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this project.
Plantings
All proposed plant species are native and non - invasive consistent with TRCA's
guidelines.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is consistent with Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development and Section 4.3 -
Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program (VSCMP).

Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a commercial plaza, including
a supermarket, retail buildings, office buildings and a hotel. The subject property is located
within the planning boundaries of the Bram East Secondary Plan. Through the Secondary Plan
review, a Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) was completed for this area, which
provides environmental and servicing recommendations for the subject property. In this
regard, the subject lands are located within the planning boundaries of the approved Bram East
Area 'C' MESP, which is used to guide development for this area. In conjunction with this
application, please be advised that the TRCA is also reviewing an Official Plan and Zoning
By -law Amendment Application (City File No. C09E05.020) to facilitate the above. noted
proposal.
The eastern portion of the subject property is located within a valley corridor and is also
traversed by a tributary of the Humber River Watershed. Through a separate planning process
(Draft Plan of Subdivision 21T-03011B), the boundary of the valley corridor was delineated. As
recommended by the approved MESP, a centralized stormwater management facility (Pond
No. 7) is proposed and is designed to collect and treat stormwater from this 5.84 hectare site.
The proposed pond will also collect and treat runoff from areas to the north already developed
and from existing road infrastructure (i.e., Ebenezer Road) with a contributing drainage area of
4.76 hectares.
As an element of the above noted Official Plan and Zoning By -law Amendment Application
being reviewing concurrently with this application, the valley lands located at the eastern_
portion of the site will be placed into public ownership in an effort to foster local and regional
environmental linkages.
The proposal includes an extensive enhancement planting plan for the valley corridor portion of
the subject property. The proposed plantings will improve the ecological condition of this
reach of the Humber River Watershed.
Recently, TRCA staff has approved rough grading operations for the subject property. The
approved grading works are located completely outside of TRCA's Regulated Area. As such, a
TRCA permit was not required. However, TRCA staff reviewed the proposed grading works and
confirm that appropriate erosion and sediment controls were incorporated into the design of the
rough grading operations (i.e., temporary sediment basin, rock check dams and seeding of
disturbed soils).
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, storage
and /or conveyance of flood waters is not anticipated. -
Pollution:
Appropriate erosion and sediment controls are proposed with this project and will be installed
and maintained throughout all phases of construction.

Proposal:
Final development plans are currently being completed for a major condominium complex at
2055 Kennedy Road, Toronto which is parcel of land 6. 8 hectares in area. These plans will be
part of a major redevelopment of the former Toronto Sufferance Truck Terminal site. The first
phase of development will focus on the construction of Village Green Square (formerly
Sufferance Road) and the Solaris high -rise condominium complex (Block 1). Future phases will
include a large TTC public railway facility. Part of the initial site work is to begin in the fall of
2008 including regrading.of the site for the purpose of establishing new roadways and site
services.
877
Control of Flooding:
In 2006 redevelopment plans were prepared with the understanding that there were no
Regulatory storm flood hazard issues associated with the property. Recent updates to
Regulatory flood hazard mapping (2007) completed by the TRCA however has identified new
flood risks exist. This flooding may occur from the spill of flood waters from Highland Creek
during a Regional storm event, however a very small portion of the overall site would be
affected. Prior to this update the subject site was not located within the Regulatory flood hazard
area. The proposed site grading works will protect the subject property from any hazards
associated with the regulatory storm event. TRCA staff requested the applicant undertake a
floodplain analysis of the Highland Creek in order to assess the impacts of the proposed fill
placement upon the floodplain. TRCA staff are in agreement with the conclusions of the
floodplain analysis which reveal that there will be no significant impacts to the upstream and
downstream storage or conveyance of flood waters. The applicant has been required to update
the Regulatory Flood Hazard Mapping and hydraulic model based on the proposed fill and
development for 2055 Kennedy Road.
Pollution:
A silt fence will be secured around all construction areas to prevent the migration of
construction generated sediment into the watercourse.

originating on the site or elsewhere and alter a watercourse on 388 Kingston
Road East, in the Town of Ajax, Carruthers Creek Watershed as located on the
property owned by Picov Downs Inc.
The purpose is to undertake site grading, permanently place fill material and alter a
watercourse in order to facilitate the expansion of a race track facility and install a new outfall to
the adjacent Carruthers Creek valleylands.
The permit will be issued for the period of September 5, 2008 to September 4, 2010.
• Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Stantec, dated August 22, 2008, received August
22, 2008, committing to providing any and all minor revisions to the documents to
meet TRCA requirements.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
880
Proposal:
The applicant seeks permission to undertake site grading, permanently place fill material and
alter a watercourse in order to facilitate the expansion of a race track facility and improvements
to the adjacent Carruthers Creek valleylands. The works constitute a second phase of
development and expansion at Picov Downs in eastern Ajax. Picov Downs is a race track,
casino and entertainment facility located on the north side of Kingston Road immediately east
of the Carruthers Creek valleylands.
This phase of development includes the construction of a full size race track and ancillary
structures such as horse barns, walkers and access roads. The existing stormwater
management pond is to be expanded to its ultimate configuration to accommodate the current
phase and future phases of development. A public trail route is to be constructed along the
eastern edge of the Carruthers Creek valleylands from Kingston Drive in the south to Kerrison
Drive in the north. An extensive riparian planting plan is to be implemented in order to improve
and restore the reach of the Carruthers Creek adjacent to the project.
The portions of the project that require approval from TRCA pursuant to Ontario Regulation
166/06 include design of the western side slope of the enlarged race track and associated
filling, grading and landscaping; the enlargement of the stormwater management pond; and,
the construction of the trail system.
Control of Flooding:
Portions of the race track side slope, the horse trail access point to the valleylands, the
stormwater management pond and trail system are located within the valleylands and Regional
Storm Flood Plain. TRCA water management staff have ensured that the works within the
Regional Storm Flood Plain will not affect the storage and conveyance of flood waters. This has
required the manipulation of the Regional Storm Flood Plain through a cut - and -fill exercise.
Specifically, due to the volume of fill required for the stormwater management pond berms a
corresponding cut will be made along the opposing valley wall to ensure that the storage and
conveyance of flood waters is not affected by the .proposal. The proposed stormwater
management system has been designed to safely convey flood waters.
Pollution:
Sediment and erosion control measures, including siltation fencing, are to be established to
isolate all disturbed areas from the Carruthers Creek.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There are no slope stability or geotechnical concerns associated with this proposal.
881
Conservation of Land:
The valleylands below the 100 -year flood elevation are to be conveyed into public ownership as
part of this proposal. This will allow the core of the Carruthers Creek valleylands and the
proposed trail system to be contained within publicly -owned lands. No works associated with
the valleylands are proposed within mature vegetation. A Letter of Advice will be issued by
TRCA staff pursuant to our Level III agreement with Fisheries and Oceans Canada for the works
associated with Fish Habitat, including the construction of a new outfall for the expanded
stormwater management pond.
Plantings
An extensive planting plan forms part of this proposal and, when implemented, will
result in the restoration of riparian vegetation along the Carruthers Creek, the new
valleyland trail and the side slopes of the expanded race track.
Policy Guidelines:
.This proposal is consistent with Section 4.1.2, New Resource -based Uses and 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 purpose of the application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Rouge River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a 1.5 to 2.4 metre wide asphalt
pedestrian,trail system along a tributary of the Rouge River. The area to which the application
applies is bounded by Rolling Hill Road on the west, Yonge Street on the east, Gamble Road
to the south, and Tower Hill Road to the north, in the Town of Richmond Hill.
The proposed works will consist of creating new sections of asphalt trail to link existing
communities and parks, provide a boardwalk crossing of the Rouge River Tributary, and
formalizing existing informal pathways. Although some of works are proposed within the
Regional Storm Floodplain, all excavated fill will be removed from the floodplain, and no major
grade changes are proposed. As such, no adverse impacts to the storage and /or conveyance
of floodwaters is anticipated. In order to complete the proposed works, it is necessary for
several sections of vegetation to be removed. To mitigate the impacts of vegetation removal, an
extensive enhancement planting plan has been incorporated into the design of this project to
provide for an ecological net gain for this reach of the Rouge River Watershed.
Control of Flooding:
No significant grading changes are proposed and all excavated material will be removed from
the floodplain. As such, TRCA staff do not anticipate any impacts to the storage and /or
conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Sediment and erosion controls will be provided and maintained through all phases of
construction in accordance with TRCA guidelines.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns related to this application.
Conservation of Land:
As a result of the proposed works, several sections' of riparian vegetation will be removed. To
mitigate-the impacts of the proposed removals an extensive enhancement planting plan has
been submitted with this project. It is the opinion of TRCA Staff that the proposed mitigation
plantings will achieve an ecological net gain for this area.
Plantings
All plantings are native and non - invasive in accordance with TRCA Guidelines.

To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure and alter a
watercourse on Part Lot 64, Concession 1, (12461 -12775 Yonge Street), in the
Town of Richmond Hill, Humber River Watershed as located on the property
owned by 1133373 Ontario Limited.
The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area in order to facilitate the
construction of a 99 -unit townhouse development block that includes amphibian crossings and
a stormwater outfall.
The permit will be issued for the period of September 5, 2008 to September 4, 2010 in
accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
• A Letter of Undertaking provided by Larry Hennigar of Cole Engineering, dated
Wednesday September 3rd, 2008, to address outstanding TRCA Ecology and
Engineering issues, prior to the issuance of the permit
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Humber River Watershed, just north of Bond Lake, in order to facilitate the construction of a
stormwater outfall for a new 99 -unit townhouse development block that includes amphibian
crossings. The proposed townhouse block is located on the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) and
north of a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) (Bond Lake). The lands south of the property
(Bond Lake) have been conveyed to the Province through a land exchange agreement. All
stormwater runoff from the proposed townhouse block will be directed into the existing
stormwater system and will not runoff into the sensitive wetland area south of the subject site.
The stormwater outfall will be constructed and directed into an existing stormwater
management pond to provide stormwater treatment. All the stormwater functions have been
designed using TRCA guidelines.
915
There are two amphibian crossings proposed for this site on the east and west sides of the site.
These crossings are located beneath the proposed roads within the site and are an extension
of existing crossings north of this site that provides a corridor of amphibian movement from a
wetland north of the subject site to Bond Lake. The crossing located on the west side of the
site required grading within the buffer area, that has been conveyed to the Province in order to
prevent stormwater from entering into the sensitive area south of the site. Grading within the
buffer is also required by the east entrance on the proposed site to accommodate the road and
lot configuration. Restoration and enhancement plantings are proposed for the disturbed areas
that are to be graded. It is our opinion that the proposed restoration and enhancement
plantings will provide an overall ecological net gain for this area of the Humber River
Watershed. All grading has been approved by the Ontario Realty Corporation (ORC) acting on
behalf of the Ministry of Public Infrastructure and Renewal (MPIR).
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works, are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, however, mitigative
measures are to be implement to maintain storage capacity and /or conveyance of flood waters.
As such, TRCA Water Resources staff do not anticipate any significant impacts to the storage
and /or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Appropriate sediment and erosion 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 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.
Plantings
Although no significant vegetation will be removed as a result of the proposed works,
the applicant has proposed significant plantings in accordance with TRCA guidelines for
the amphibian crossing and for restorative works within the buffer area.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.1. - New Development and Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and
Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

CLAIREVILLE CONSERVATION AREA
Topsoil Placement. West of Regional Road 50 and North of Highway
407, City of Brampton. Proposal to Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority from Metrus Development Inc. requesting permission to place
approximately 90,000 cubic metres of topsoil at three locations within
•Claireville Conservation Area.
Ron Moeser
Maja Prentice
THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) enter into an agreement with
Metrus Development Inc. (herein "Metrus ") to accept placement of clean surplus topsoil
on lands within Claireville Conservation Area to enhance three existing landforms,
subject to municipal approvals;
THAT the fee for accepting the soil will be $3.10/m3;
THAT in addition to the tipping fee, Metrus will be responsible for all costs of sediment
control, placing topsoil and fine grading;
THAT the funds received as compensation for receiving the surplus soil be set aside
exclusively for project costs, for future restoration and habitat enhancement of the
property, and for general TRCA purposes;
THAT TRCA staff work together with the Humber Watershed Alliance and Claireville
Advisory Committee to revise conceptual plans for the restoration of the area of the soil
placement;
AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to
execute all the necessary documentation required.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The topsoil will be deposited in three previously disturbed locations.
Location #1: Staff, in consultation with the public, have agreed that an existing berm,
completed in 2002, should be extended in length and height as a means to further mitigate the
sound and visual attenuation impacts of the adjacent Highway 407. The extension would allow
for the placement of 36,000 cubic metres of topsoil without diminishing the value of the
property. It is the opinion of staff that the project is an opportunity to preserve and enhance the
restoration potential of the proposed site by creating the foundation for diverse habitat and
public interpretation features.
Staff completed an archaeological assessment of the proposed area prior to soil placement in
2002.
917
Location #2: As per Executive Resolution #B95/05, the committee approved placement of
soils to create landforms along Regional Road 50. The project is nearing completion with the
application of a
0.5 metre topsoil cap. In reviewing the recent work, staff determined that an additional one (1)
metre of topsoil would be beneficial in specific areas to -allow for future tree and shrub planting.
The proposed design modifications will allow for approximately 20,000 cubic metres of
additional topsoil to be placed at this site.
Location #3: As per Executive Resolution #B15/05, the committee approved placement of
soils to create landforms along an industrial complex at Intermodal Drive. The project is
nearing completion with the application of a 0.5 metre topsoil cap. In reviewing the recent
work, staff determined that an additional one (1) metre of topsoil would be beneficial in specific
areas to allow for future tree and shrub planting. The proposed design modifications will allow
for approximately 40,000 cubic metres of additional topsoil to be placed at this site.
It is the opinion of staff that this is an opportunity to strategically enhance the restoration
potential of the three existing structures.
TRCA staff will implement a soils quality control program to ensure and confirm that all soil
placed on site meets Ministry of Environment parkland criteria.
RATIONALE
Because of the proximity of the topsoil source (Regional Road 50, south of Rutherford Road) to
the deposition location, it is the opinion of staff that the compensation package offered by
Metrus would not be matched by other top soil suppliers. In addition, it is proposed that the
entire project will be completed by the spring of 2009, with Site #1 being completed this fall.
TRCA staff has completed similar projects in other areas with considerable success. Examples
of these successful projects include: the recently completed berm on the Kortright Centre for
Conservation tablelands off Pine Valley Drive in the City of Vaughan; Boyd North Pit
rehabilitation off Rutherford Road in the City of Vaughan; berming along Intermodal Drive and
Highway 407 within Claireville Conservation Area in the City of Brampton; the berming along
the new Markham By -Pass east of Ninth Line in the Town of Markham; and the berming and
wetland complex development at Boyd North (along Islington Avenue north of Rutherford
Road) in the City of Vaughan.
Staff sees this regeneration work as a benefit to all involved as the surplus.soil, along with the
financial compensation, will allow for the creation of habitat opportunities and public features on
the property.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
TRCA staff will continue to work with the Humber Watershed Alliance.and Claireville Advisory
Committee to revise the approved conceptual plans for the restoration of the areas of soil
placement. Various municipal permits will be obtained prior to beginning fill placement.
918
. FINANCIAL DETAILS
The potential gross revenue from this project is approximately $279,000. The direct project
operating and restoration costs will be deducted from this revenue.

923
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the contract for the redevelopment
of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) website be awarded to The
Jonah Group Inc., at a cost not to exceed $210,000.00, plus applicable taxes, it being the
bid that best met TRCA specifications;
THAT award of the contract be subject to terms and conditions satisfactory to TRCA staff
and legal advisers, including but not limited to determination of the final contract cost not
to exceed the approved amount;
AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take such actions as are
necessary to implement the contract including the signing and execution of documents.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Since its inception in 1994, the TRCA website has grown rapidly and now . contains in excess of
2,500 pages that are visited by 35,000 to 50,000 web users each month.
The current website structure and design was created in 2002. Though much of the website
content is updated regularly, the effectiveness of the site is now constrained by outdated
information architecture, technical limitations and a deficient content management system.
These issues make the site difficult to navigate by users and difficult to update by staff. Web
technologies and standard practices have progressed so that the current TRCA website cannot
effectively take advantage of the opportunities offered by the internet.
In 2007, TRCA engaged Sideren Inc. to conduct a gap analysis of the Watershed section of the
TRCA website. Sideren recommended a comprehensive redevelopment of the TRCA website
to engage stakeholders more effectively. Specifically, Sideren's recommended that the TRCA
website be redeveloped to:
• focus content around audience needs and interests;
• simplify messaging and streamline navigation;
• clarify what TRCA is and connect all its activities to its central mission;
• facilitate development of communities of interest around TRCA initiatives;
• optimize customer service and .efficiency through web - enabled delivery (e.g. sale of
information, registrations, online surveys, etc.); and
• encourage partner retention and loyalty through partner-focussed information.
Staff prepared a request for proposals for the redevelopment of the TRCA website. The
deadline for submission of proposals was September 5, 2008 at noon. In response, TRCA
received 17 proposals. Staff evaluated the proposals based on:
• experience on similar - scaled projects;
• strength of the proposed work plan;
• cost projection;
• credentials of staff to be assigned to the project;
• ability to meet timing requirements to complete the project;
• experience with non - profit, community and government organizations; and
• compliance with the requirements outlined in the Request for Proposals.
Five companies were invited to present their proposals to staff: Applinx; eSolutions Group;
Inorbital Inc; Moveable /Public Good; and The Jonah Group Ltd..
924
ANALYSIS
Based on the evaluation criteria, staff concluded that the proposal submitted by The Jonah
Group meets all requirements set out in the Request for Proposal documents and offers
solutions and an implementation plan best suited to meet TRCA's needs. In particular, the
Jonah Group offers:
• An open source platform for the web content management system and custom web
applications that is available for anyone to see and use. This mitigates the business risks
inherent in building a site on a proprietary platform owned by an external organization.
• A highly adaptable content management system that allows non - technical users to easily
add and update content.
• Expertise in web design, as well as software development, allowing for full customization of
web tools to meet TRCA's specific needs.
• Experience in developing content -rich websites that integrate a range of web tools and
applications such as dynamic event calendars, online surveys and e- newsletters.
• Experience completing web projects for community- oriented, not - for - profit and government
organizations.
• Demonstrated support for environmental organizations and sustainable practices.
• A cost proposal that is in line with available funds for the project.
• Experience in working with a website and organization of TRCA size and complexity.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funds required to support and complete this project are available in the 2008 Operating and
Capital Budget and identified in the 2009 Preliminary Operating and Capital Budget. Funds
allocated to this project will not exceed $152,550, plus applicable taxes in 2008, and $57,060,
plus applicable taxes in 2009. •

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 and temporarily or
permanently place, dump or remove fill material within a Regulated Area and Regional Storm
Flood Plain of the East Duffins Creek. The proposed works involve the installation of a sanitary
sewer crossing via directional drilling under the Creek on Riverside Drive south of Rossland
Road in the Town of Ajax. The proposed crossing will allow for the servicing of a new
townhouse residential development proposed for the west side of Riverside Drive (see
Application No. 743 /08 /AJAX on this agenda).
The sanitary/watermain crossing will traverse a cold water creek. Geotechnical investigation
has revealed that the proposed crossing route will be through tight till soils and the risk of
frac -out due to the collapse of soils under the bed of the watercourse is minimal. A previous
permit for the directional drilling of a Region of Durham watermain in a similar location under
the creek was implemented in 2001 without difficulty. The proposed sanitary crossing is
located a minimum of 2.0 metres below the existing watercourse channel.
Conditional Permit
As a precaution, the applicant will submit a contingency plan for the proposed directional
drilling operation to address the risk of a frac -out on the work.site. Should a frac -out occur,
TRCA staff will be notified immediately and works will be completed by implementing the
contingency plan. Monitoring of the site will also be carried out should the contingency plan
be required. This plan will be reviewed and.approved by TRCA technical staff prior to the
issuance of the permit. As such, staff is requesting permission from the Executive Committee
to allow staff to approve the issuance of the Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit for this project
subject to TRCA's Ecology staff confirming that the details of the contingency plan are
acceptable.
949
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works will be located below grade and will not negatively impact the storage or
conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Erosion.and sediment control measures will be implemented prior to the initiation of
construction and maintained for the duration of the works.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Erosion
on site will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned erosion and
sediment control measures.
Conservation of Land:
No significant natural features will be impacted as the works will take place entirely on the .
paved portion of the road right -of -way. Given the proximity of the works to the watercourse, a
Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). • A fisheries
timing window extension will be granted based on the limited risk of a frac -out and the
implementation of the contingency plan.
Plantings
Plantings are not be required as vegetation removal is not proposed.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal consists of a 2,471 sq.m. (21,500 sq.ft.) addition to an existing research building
within a Regulated Area of the Don River Watershed. The addition is known as "Building 96"
and is considered an extension of "Building # 94 ". The subject building and proposed addition
is located on the Sanofi Pasteur property which is a large (20 hectare) pharmaceutical research
and production facility in the area east of Dufferin Street and south of Steeles Avenue West in
the City of Toronto. The campus includes a portion of the Don River Valley on the west and
south. The proposed addition will be constructed within a highly disturbed draw feature
associated with the valley. This feature was previously disturbed with the installation of an
oil /grit separator. During the installation, the draw feature was stripped of vegetation and has
not been restored to date.
Given that the oil /grit separator installation took place without a TRCA permit and the proposal
is to develop partially within the draw feature, Sanofi Pasteur Limited has agreed to provide an
extensive compensation planting plan. The planting compensation will be implemented entirely
on Sanofi Pasteur lands within the reach of the subject proposal.
Conditional Approval:
As a result of negotiations between the proponent, TRCA and the City of Toronto it became
apparent that a comprehensive redevelopment master plan is needed to identify future site
planning, technical and policy issues.
968
Sanofi Pasteur Limited has agreed to begin a Master Site Planning process in consultation with
the City of Toronto and TRCA in order to ensure that future development on site will maintain
and enhance the integrity of the Don River valley system. An objective of the Master Site Plan
will be to provide a net gain to the natural heritage system and include technical requirements
for significant vegetation, stable top of bank, enhancements to the terrestrial natural heritage
system and improvements to water quality and quantity controls for the entire campus. A
Master Site Plan process will be required as a condition of the City of Toronto's Site Plan
approval for the current proposal. As such, staff is requesting permission from the Executive
Committee to allow the issuance of the Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit for this project
subject to written confirmation that Sanofi has entered into a Site Plan Agreement with the City
of Toronto which includes a condition requiring a Master Site Plan Approval for the entire
property prior to any future development taking place. Issuance of future permits will rely on
an approved Master Site Plan that addresses TRCA issues.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed building is not located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, therefore there are
no flooding concerns.
Pollution:
Appropriate sediment fencing will be in place throughout the duration of construction to ensure
that no sediment will enter the watercourse.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
A geotechnical report was submitted in support of the application. TRCA technical staff have
reviewed this report and determined that there will be no erosion issues associated with this
proposal.
. Conservation of Land:
A compensation planting plan will be implemented elsewhere on site. TRCA technical staff are
of the opinion that the proposed planting plan will provide a net gain to the terrestrial natural
heritage system on site. This mitigation coupled with a Master Site Plan for the campus will
ensure that the integrity of the natural heritage system is maintained and enhanced for the
future.
Plantings
All plantings will be in accordance with TRCA's Post - Construction Restoration
Guidelines and Seed Mix Guidelines.
Policy Guidelines:

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 facilitate the expansion of an existing parking lot associated
with Town and Country BMW on the adjacent property to the west. The adjacent dealership
currently utilizes the subject property as an overflow parking lot and is now proposing to
expand the lot for anticipated growth.
985
The BMW dealership is located within the South Unionville Secondary Plan Area (OPA 22)
within the Town of Markham. The approved Environmental Master Drainage Plan (EMDP)
describes the proposed storm water drainage and the environmental management scheme
based on the OPA 22 requirements. The Functional Servicing Plan (FSP) for the area is
currently in review with TRCA staff. A recent Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) decision granted
conditional approval to a Minor Variance Application (City File # A110 -07) for the subject
property. The approval permits the expansion of the existing parking lot on -site and allows for
the continuation of the outdoor storage of vehicles on the subject property, subject to TRCA's
review and approval of the site - specific stormwater management analysis and that the
applicant obtains approval of this application. Based on our review of the submitted
stormwater management analysis, the works conform to the direction of the submitted FSP.
Given the advanced stage in the review of the FSP and status related to the conditional
approval of the Minor Variance Application, TRCA staff are amenable to allow this parking
expansion in advance of the approval of the FSP.
A portion of the proposed parking lot expansion is currently located within the estimated
Regional Storm Floodplain. After reviewing the current hydrology, TRCA Water Resources staff
are confident that the site will be located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain once an
engineered flood study is completed, which provides a more detailed analysis of current site
conditions. Also, based on our review of the submitted FSP, the subject property would be
removed from the Regional Storm Floodplain and TRCA Regulated Area upon completion of
the works associated with the FSP. The proposed works will be completed without adversely
affecting flood storage and conveyance capacity. In addition, there are no geotechnical or
ecology related concerns.with this application.
Control of Flooding:
As indicated above, TRCA Water Resources staff are confident that the proposed works will be
located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain once a detailed engineering analysis is
completed in conjunction with the FSP for the area. As such, no adverse impacts to the
storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated.

The permit will be issued for the period of October 3, 2008 to October 2, 2010.
• Letter of Undertaking, prepared by P. Slama, Stantec Consulting Ltd., dated October
1, 2008, to address all outstanding TRCA engineering and ecology concerns.
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
Rouge River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of the proposed stormwater
management facility related to the "Phase 3" Duke of Richmond development (Draft Plan of
Subdivision 19T- 99014). The subject property is municipally known as 390 Gamble Road, in
the Town of Richmond Hill. The subject lands are bound by Gamble Road to the south,
Bathurst Street to the west, Jefferson Sideroad to the north and the Duke Tributary of the
Rouge River Watershed to the east.
As background, please be advised that TRCA Enforcement staff has issued a violation
pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 for grading encroachment onto TRCA property and
erosion and sedimentation of downstream natural areas, which are related to the 'Phase 1"
works of the Duke of Richmond development. As a component of the "Phase 1" works, the
subject lands were graded /stripped and a temporary sediment control pond was constructed.
As a result of these works, natural areas downstream of the subject lands were significantly
impacted as a result of improper erosion and sediment controls being installed on -site for the
grading operations and temporary sediment control pond construction. Recognizing that this
violation has yet to be fully resolved, as a component of this TRCA permit application, the
proponent is required to satisfy all outstanding concerns related to the open violation noted
above, prior to this TRCA permit application being supported by TRCA staff. In this regard, as
a component of this permit application, the proponent has provided plans to stabilize,
clean -up, and restore the disturbed areas and provide enhancement plantings for the larger
development block prior to the works related to this TRCA permit application being initiated.
The proposed restoration works on TRCA lands has been reviewed and approved by TRCA
Archaeology staff, as well as TRCA Property Section. As such, a Permission to Entry (PTE) will
be provided with this permit. Additionally, as a component of the violation resolution, the
proponent has provided a $50,000 Letter of Credit (LOC), which is the cost estimate of all
proposed works on TRCA property.
990
The proposed stormwater management facility (Pond No. 10) related to the "Phase 3" Duke of
Richmond development is to be constructed at the same location as the current temporary
sediment control pond. As a result, a construction staging plan has been proposed with this
application in order to provide sufficient construction opportunity to resolve the above noted
violations downstream of this area, as well as to incorporate proper erosion and sediment
controls for the ultimate stormwater management pond in accordance with TRCA's guidelines.
Specifically, the temporary outlet from the existing sediment control pond will be plugged to
provided opportunity to clean -out the watercourse feature downstream of Pond 10 and dewater
the temporary sediment control pond. With respect to the dewatering process, the proponent
will mobilize Envirotanks on -site, which will be used to treat and filter all dewatered effluent. To
minimize erosion from the dewatered effluent, the water will be discharged at the toe of the
bank of the downstream channel at a suitable location and will be set at an angle such that the
water is not discharged at a right angle to the opposite bank of the channel.
Given the above noted violations, an extensive enhancement planting plan has been provided
for the natural areas downstream of the subject lands currently owned by the TRCA. In our
opinion, the proposed plantings will achieve an ecological net gain for this reach of the Rouge
River Watershed.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed ultimate stormwater management facility is located outside of the Regional
Storm Floodplain. With respect to the works related to the downstream natural areas that are
located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, TRCA staff has reviewed the plans and do not
anticipate any impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters. In fact, the proposed
remediation works designed to resolve the active violation, in our opinion, will re- establish the
flood storage and conveyance functions of downstream natural areas.
Pollution:
Appropriate erosion and sediment controls have been proposed with this application and will
be installed and maintained throughout all phases of construction. Additionally, the proposed .
works will resolve the erosion and sedimentation concerns identified above.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
The proposed works have been designed to resolve and /or prevent any erosion on the subject
lands and /or the downstream natural areas. There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability
concerns.related to this project. •
Conservation of Land:
No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. However, an extensive
enhancement planting plan has been incorporated into the design of this project, which is
required in order t� mitigate the impacts related to the active violation pursuant to Ontario
Regulation 166/06.
Plantings
All proposed plant species are native and non - invasive consistent with TRCA
guidelines.

To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure on Part Lot 13,
Concession 5, (8929 Weston Road), in the City of Vaughan, Humber River
Watershed as located on the property owned by InStorage REIT.
The purpose is to construct a replacement office and storage building within a Regulated Area
of the Humber River Watershed at 8929 Weston Road in the City of Vaughan.
The permit will be issued for the period of October 3, 2008 to October 2, 2010 in accordance
with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
• Letter of Undertaking dated October 1, 2008 prepared by the applicant stating that
revised drawings to the satisfaction of TRCA staff will be submitted.
1006
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal is to construct a replacement office and storage building within a Regulated Area
of the Humber River Watershed. As part of the project, two existing buildings are to be
demolished and replaced with a single building. Based on a flood study prepared by Pitura
Husson Limited, dated September 2008, received by the TRCA September 30, 2008, one of the
existing buildings to be demolished is entirely within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. The
proposed replacement building is partially located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain but
does not encroach as far into the flood plain area than the existing building to be replaced.
According to the flood study, the Regional Storm Elevation for the development area is 209.51
m.a.s.l. (metres above sea level). The proposed building will be floodproofed to this level by
ensuring all openings are above 209.51 m.a.s.l. TRCA staff note that as part of Official Plan
Amendment 450 and supporting studies, the watercourse that currently flows through the
subject property is to be realigned in the future with the ultimate result of removing the subject
property from the Regional Storm Flood Plain.
Control of Flooding:
TRCA water resources staff are satisfied that the proposed works will not have a significant
impact on the storage and conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing will be erect and maintained for the duration of construction to
prevent sediment from entering the watercourse.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
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
The development area is currently devoid of vegetation, the proposed works includes
plantings along the Weston Road frontage and northern property boundary.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 D) - Replacement Structures - of the Authority's
Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

8.1.76 METRUS DEVELOPMENT INC.
To site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any
material, originating on the site or elsewhere on Lot 14, Concession 10,
southwest of Huntington Road and Rutherford Road, in the City of Vaughan,
Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Metrus
Development Inc.
The purpose is to conduct site grading and to temporarily or permanently place, dump or
remove any material within a Regulated Area, in order to conduct topsoil grading works for the
purposes of restoring the valley corridor, within Planning Block 64, in the City of Vaughan.
The permit will be issued for the period of October 3, 2008 to October 2, 2010 in accordance
with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
• Letter of Undertaking, prepared by David Kellershohn, Schaeffers Consulting
Engineers, dated September 25, 2008, received September 25, 2008.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal is to conduct site grading and to temporarily or permanently place, dump or
remove fill material within a Regulated Area of the Humber River, in order to conduct topsoil
grading works which will facilitate the overall restoration of the valley corridor within Planning
Block 64, in the City of Vaughan.
Planning Block 64 is bounded by Rutherford Road to the north, Highway 50 to the west,
Langstaff Road to the south and to the east by Huntington Road. There is an approved Master
Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) in place for Planning Block 64 (approved in 2005).
During the MESP process, the limit of the Humber River valley corridor in this area was
identified and delineated. Since the approval of the Block 64 MESP, TRCA staff has received
and draft approved a related draft plan of subdivision (19T- 06V13).
Topsoil from two different locations within Block 64 will be placed around two existing on -line
ponds that are currently separated by an existing culvert. The proposed relocation of this
topsoil was proposedduring the Block 64 MESP process and forms part of the overall effort to
restore the valleyland. In the future, additional works will be conducted around the two on -line
ponds, including extensive plantings and the creation of wetland areas. Additionally, a natural
channel design will be implemented upstream /downstream of the existing ponds. This will
promote fish habitat and passage through this area. An application for a permit under Ontario
Regulation 166/06 (631 /08NAUG) for these works has been submitted and is currently being
reviewed by TRCA technical staff.
Control of Flooding:
TRCA staff has reviewed the proposed topsoil placement plans and is satisfied that the works
will not negatively affect the storage or conveyance of flood waters.
1008
Pollution:
Erosion and sediment controls including silt fencing and rock check dams will be implemented
prior to the initiation of grading works and maintained for the duration of construction, to
ensure that sediment does not enter the nearby ponds and watercourse.
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. Given the
close proximity of the works to the watercourse and ponds, a Letter of Advice will be issued on
behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).
Plantings
Areas that are disturbed as part of the proposed works will be stabilized and restored
with native, non - invasive plantings. This overall planting effort will be finalized once the
associated natural channel design works are completed and stabilized.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal complies with Section 4.2.2 (F) - Opportunities for Regeneration, of the TRCA's
Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

WILD WATER KINGDOM
Deferral of Rent. Recommends acceptance of proposal from Wild Water
Kingdom for deferral of 2007 and 2008 rent until July of 2009.
Maria Augimeri
Jack Heath
THAT staff be directed to take the action necessary to implement a proposal from Wild •
Water Kingdom for deferral of rent and other monies owed until July 31, 2009;
THAT the deferral of rents be subject to any terms and conditions required by Toronto
and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff and solicitors.
CARRIED
RATIONALE
TRCA is in receipt of a request from Wild Water Kingdom Inc. (WWK) for deferral of 2007 and
2008 rent and other monies owing to TRCA pursuant to the lease of land at Claireville.
Wild Water Kingdom, along with many outdoor recreational venues, incurred significant decline
in visitation and revenue because of wet weather during June, July and early August of 2008.
A letter received from WWK listed the extent of the impact, including a 25% drop in attendance
and projected 27% drop in gross revenues. A significant net Toss on the year is anticipated.
Apart from the rent arrears, the lease with WWK is in good standing. Under the terms of the
lease, WWK can defer up to $100,000 in rent owing from one year to June 30 of the following
year. Interest is payable on deferred rent and all outstanding accounts in the amount of prime
plus 1 %. Over almost 20 years that TRCA has leased lands to WWK, rents have always been
paid and staff has had a good working relationship with the owner / manager.
As of September 30, 2008, WWK owes the following:
• percentage rent for 2007 in the amount of $140,000;
• base rent for 2008 in the amount of $80,661.82;
• percentage rent for 2008 estimated at $198,000;
• realty taxes for 2008 in the amount of $59,742.88; and •
• interest on the amounts outstanding which will be adjusted with credit for cost of water to
• Indian Line Campground.
WWK has an October 31st year end. After October 31st, the percentage rent and interest
owing will be calculated.
WWK proposes to pay:
• Monthly payments of $25,000 commencing September 2008 and ending May, 2009, for a
total of $225,000.
• Deferred 2008 percentage rent of $100,000 as provided for in the lease agreement.
• Balance of monies owing estimated at $153,000 payable on July 31, 2009, together with
interest on all outstanding amounts.
1015
Under the terms of the lease, if there is a default and TRCA decides to terminate the lease then,
unless the tenants lender pays the arrears and puts the lease in good standing, TRCA would
be entitled to take the lands, improvements and fixtures and either lease the waterpark with the
equipment etc. to another operator, close the park or operate the park.
In 2008 WWK completed a sports dome, for soccer, football and other sports activities. This
has potential for future, year round revenues beyond those of the existing water park and
mini -golf.

RES. #B119/08 - PORT UNION WATERFRONT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Phase 2. Approval of the Minor Modification to Phase 2 shoreline as
required under the Environmental Assessment Act conditions of
approval.
Moved by:
Seconded by:
;Ron Moeser
Maria Augimeri
THAT the minor modification of the shoreline design for Phase 2 of the Port Union
Waterfront Improvement Project be approved.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) received approval for the Port Union
Waterfront Improvement Project under the Environmental Assessment Act on May 2, 2001. This
approval included both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the project. Phase 1 of the project was
completed and opened to the public in September, 2006.
Further to Condition 7 of the Environmental Assessment (EA) approval, TRCA is required to
follow the Amendment Procedure developed by the Ministry of the Environment for any minor
modifications to the concept plan. In 2003, further to detailed shoreline modeling, the coastal
engineer recommended a modification of the shoreline design of Phase 2.. Specifically, the
modifications included an additional headland and the realignment of the beaches on the _
Phase 2 portion of the project. The Phase 2 coastal engineering footprint resulted in an overall
reduction of the 0.35 hectares or approximately 11 percent of the Phase 2 area. The
modifications provided an appropriate final shoreline configuration consistent with the project
objectiyes and conceptual plans. The end result of these modifications is the overall reduction
to the extent of lakefilling and a final project design that is advantageous to the environment.
1016
In August 2003, staff requested and received written confirmation from every agency who had a
mandate for any matter affected by the proposed minor modification. These agencies included
CN, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Canada - Navigable Waters Program, City of
Toronto, Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation, GO Transit, Ministry of Natural
Resources and Environment Canada. In addition, information supporting the minor
modification was presented to the Port Union Working Committee for approval.
As required under conditions of EA approval, TRCA must receive approval by the Authority for
the minor modification prior to the construction of the minor modification. TRCA began
construction of Phase 2 in March however, the shoreline configuration described in the minor
modification is not yet constructed.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
TRCA and Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation have entered into a Delivery
Agreement to complete Phase 2 of the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project. The minor •
modification does not have any financial implications, as Phase 1 and Phase 2 are fully funded.

East side of Duffy's Lane, north of King Street, Regional Municipality of

receipt of a request from Pat and Linda Paniccia to explore the possibility
of a sale of a fragment of Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority -owned land located on the east side of Duffy's Lane, north of
King Street, Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, Humber

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) -owned land located on the east side of Duffy's Lane, north
of King Street, Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, be retained for
conservation purposes.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
A letter was received from Pat and Linda Paniccia, requesting the sale of a fragment of
TRCA -owned land situated on the east side of Duffy's Lane, north of King Street for an addition
to their existing rural residential property.
At Executive Committee Meeting #2/08, held on April 11, 2008, Resolution #B28/08 was
approved as follows:
THAT the potential disposal of a fragment of land on the east side of Duffy's Lane, north
of King Street, Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, 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.
This request was circulated to Town of Caledon and Regional Municipality of Peel staff as well
as TRCA staff for review and comment. The following comments have been received:
Town of Caledon staff
This parcel of land will be subject to a significant road widening (7 metres + / -) required for
the future Bolton Arterial Route (BAR). As construction of this portion of the BAR is a Region
of Peel project, Regional Municipality of Peel staff should be contacted for more detailed
information.
Regional Municipality of Peel staff
A road widening requirement is required in connection with the future Bolton Arterial Route
(BAR) project. At this point in time, only the Environmental Assessment has been completed
for this project. The detailed design has not yet commenced. The Region of Peel is
requesting that TRCA delay its decision regarding this property until the detailed design is
complete to the point that property impact can be determined; it is anticipated that this
information will be available by the end of 2008.
TRCA staff
The subject site has been identified in the Refined Humber Terrestrial Natural Heritage
System (TNH) system as potential habitat and forms part of the land base needed for the
Natural Heritage system to achieve TRCA's biodiversity targets.
TRCA staff has surveyed this site and collected terrestrial information. The area has been
classified as a cultural thicket and provides habitat for some open country bird species of
concern (i.e. Field Sparrow, Nashville Warbler and White Throated Sparrow). In addition, the
subject area is an excellent buffer for the higher quality natural habitats immediately to the
east (i.e. the Humber River valley).
1022
Not only has this TRCA -owned property been identified as potential natural cover for habitat
and an area which could benefit from regeneration in the TNH system, it also currently
provides some ecological function that should be protected.
Given the fact that a substantial strip of the frontage is required for the BAR and that the
property has significant potential for regeneration, staff is recommending that the parcel be
retained.
A plan illustrating the location of the subject lands is attached.

BACKGROUND
The Regional Municipality of York has formally requested a permanent easement for the
extension of the Bathurst Street Sanitary Trunk Sewer to Langstaff Road, north of Regional
Road 7, west of Bathurst Street, in the City of Vaughan.
The project has been reviewed by TRCA Planning and Development staff through the
Environmental Assessment (EA) Act process. The proposed easement crosses the southeast
corner of the Baker Sugar Bush; the subject site is not regulated pursuant to Ontario Regulation
166/06. The proposed works are being completed by subsurface drilling and boring; therefore,
no surface disturbance will occur during construction. In addition, a temporary construction
easement will not be required as part of the proposed works.
The subject TRCA lands were acquired from Sugarbush Developments Limited on January 21,
2000 under the Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project, 1996 -2000, Flood Plain and
Conservation Component /Don River Watershed. The property is jointly owned by the City of
Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York and TRCA.
Plantings:
As noted above, there will be no surface disturbance during construction; all existing
vegetation on this portion of the Baker Sugar Bush will remain intact.
A plan illustrating the permanent easement location is attached.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
York Region has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing this
transaction.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
1060
Proposal:
The purpose is to recognize the construction of a small bridge that was constructed to replace
a previous bridge without TRCA approval. The existing (previous) bridge has already been
demolished and the proposed (existing) bridge has been constructed. The new bridge has
maintained the original character and relative dimensions of the demolished bridge, and will
therefore poses no significant impacts to the surrounding vegetation and natural features. As
well, the replacement bridge does not require the import or removal of fill onto or off of the
property, or any alteration of the watercourse.
Violation:
The bridge has been constructed in the absence of a TRCA permit. The owner has submitted
this application, at the request of TRCA staff, in order to rectify this situation.
Control of Flooding:
The new bridge does not pose any new obstructions to the conveyance of flood waters, and
does not increase the likelihood of damage to people or property downstream in the event of a
flood.
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing or other methods of ensuring minimal discharge of construction
debris into the waterway would have been required as part of this permit due to the structure's
location above the creek. However, since the work has already been completed, any sediment
or pollution controls imposed are redundant.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical concerns associated with this application.
Conservation of Land:
The proposed construction retains the existing limit of development and does not further
encroach into surrounding natural areas, or negatively impact any existing natural features.
Plantings
No restoration plantings are required due to very limited removal (if any) of surrounding
vegetation.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2.(E) - Development Guidelines for Property
Improvements and Ancillary Structures of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program.

TOWNSHIP OF KING
8.1.22 YORK CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure on (2585 King
Road), in the Township of King, Humber River Watershed as located on the
property owned by York Catholic District School Board.
The purpose is to recognize the construction of a portable and paved area for an existing
school within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed located at 2585 King Road, in.
the Township of King.
The permit will be issued for the period of November 7, 2008 to November 6, 2010 in
accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
• Site Plan, Drawing No. A202 prepared by Stevens Group Architects Inc., dated
September 26, 2008, received by the TRCA September 29, 2008
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose is to recognize the construction of a classroom portable and associated paved
area for. an existing school within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. The works
are located within the wetland area of interference of a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW)
which forms a part of the King- Vaughan Wetland Complex.
Based upon a site visit conducted by TRCA staff October 6, 2008, the completed works are
located approximately 10 metres from the ill- defined top of bank of a gentle valley slope. In
addition, the development area is sodded and devoid of any significant natural features.
It is our understanding that due to time constraints relating to the start of a new school year and
the pending approval of a Site Plan Application from King Township, the school board had
commenced works prior to the issuance of a permit under Ontario Regulation 166/06. As the
works were commenced and completed prior to the issuance of our permit, an additional
administration fee has been charged.
Control of Flooding:
The completed works are not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. There are no
impacts on the conveyance or storage of flood waters.
Pollution:
The works are located within a sodded tableland and there was and will not be any transport of
sediment into the nearby watercourse and wetland.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
1062
Erosion:
TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that the works will not impact the stability of the gentle
valley slope.
Conservation of Land:
As the watercourse was not impacted by the works, there are no fisheries concerns. There are
no other significant natural features on or adjacent to the site that have been or 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.
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.

To site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any
material, originating on the site or elsewhere on lands located west of Highway
50, south of Castlemore Road, in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed
as located on the property owned by 1329343 Ontario Limited (Great Gulf Group
of Companies).
The purpose is to site grade within a Regulated area to facilitate topsoil stripping, earth works
and initial servicing associated with a proposed residential plan of subdivision.
The permit will be issued for the period of November 7, 2008 to November 6, 2010.
• Letter of undertaking provided by Piotr Szponar, Rand Engineering, dated November
5, 2008, 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:
The applicant is requesting permission to strip topsoil, initiate earthworks and interim servicing
associated with a proposed residential plan of subdivision located between Clarkway Drive and
Highway 50, south of Castlemore Road, in the City of Brampton. This application is one of six
within this area that are before the Executive Committee at this meeting for topsoil stripping,
earthworks and initial servicing.
The subject property is located within the Bram East Area 'F' Block Plan area, which
incorporates lands between The Gore Road and Highway 50, south of Castlemore Road in the
City of Brampton. As part of Brampton's Growth Management program, a,number of proposed
subdivisions within Phase 1 of this Block Plan area have been given development allotment,
and are being given draft approval by the City. TRCA staff have provided conditions of
approval for these subdivisions.
1064
The property is traversed by Rainbow Creek, a tributary of the West Humber River. Due to a
presently undersized culvert under Highway 50, Regional Storm flows back -up in the area in
which Rainbow Creek .crosses under Highway 50, and spill onto the subject lands to the south.
As a consequence, a substantial portion of the 'Phase 2' portion of this proposed subdivision
are presently within the Regulatory Floodplain. Through a recent Environmental Assessment for
proposed works on this section of Highway 50, measures have been proposed to increase the
capacity of the culverts under Highway 50, which would alleviate the flooding on the subject
property. In the interim, the applicant is proceeding with grading works, as well as development
on the Phase 1 lands which are outside of the floodplain, and are not Regulated by the TRCA.
As part of the Phase 1 earthworks, low areas within Phase 1 will need to be filled, using fill that
will be removed from the Phase 2 lands. As Phase 2 is presently within the floodplain, fill may
only be removed from floodprone portions of this area at this time, to ensure that floodplain
storage and conveyance are not adversely impacted. This permit is only to allow the removal of
fill from Phase 2 lands with associated grading works, as well as the temporary storage of fill
within Regulated areas that will not exacerbate flooding off the property, and that are
satisfactory to TRCA engineering staff.
The works proposed under this permit constitute the first phase in the development on this
proposed subdivision. Additional permits will be brought forward to a future Executive •
Committee meeting for permanent stormwater management works within this Block Plan area,
as well as proposed cut and fill works, once the outstanding comments and concerns of TRCA
staff have been adequately addressed.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are partially located within the Regulatory Floodplain. However, only the
removal of fill and the temporary storage of fill in areas that will not adversely impact upon the
existing storage and /or conveyance of flood waters, will be permitted at this time.
Pollution:
Appropriate sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained on the subject
property during all phases of construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns anticipated with this project.
Conservation of Land:
No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. Although there are no
fisheries related concerns associated with this proposal, a Letter of Advice will be provided on
behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada as the temporary stormwater management ponds will
discharge to surface features that drain to watercourses downstream.
1065
Plantings
A comprehensive planting plan is to be provided, and implemented as a condition of the
approval of this subdivision. As a coordinated plan is still being developed for all of the
subdivisions within this Block Plan, details on the proposed plantings cannot be
provided at this time. Additional details will be provided in subsequent permits for this
Block Plan.

(Castlemore Road and The Gore Road), in the City of Brampton, Humber River
Watershed as located on the property owned by Tonlu Holdings Inc..
1074
The purpose is to site grade within a Regulated area to facilitate topsoil stripping, earth works
and initial servicing associated with a proposed residential plan of subdivision.
The permit will be issued for the period of November 7, 2008 to November 6, 2010.
• Letter of undertaking provided by Michael Oldham, MMM Group, dated November 5,
2008, 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:
The applicant is requesting permission to strip topsoil, initiate earthworks and interim servicing
associated with a proposed residential plan of subdivision located directly east of The Gore
Road, south of Castlemore Road, in the City of Brampton. This application is one of six within
this area that are before the Executive Committee at this meeting for topsoil stripping,
earthworks and initial servicing.
The subject property is located within the Bram East Area 'F' Block Plan area, which
incorporates lands between The Gore Road and Highway 50, south of Castlemore Road in the
City of Brampton. As part of Brampton's Growth Management program, a number of proposed
subdivisions within Phase 1 of this Block Plan area have been given development allotment,
and are being given draft approval by the City. TRCA staff have provided conditions of
approval for these subdivisions.
The property is traversed by the Clarkway Tributary of the Humber River. Adjacent tableland
areas - which are to be developed as part of the proposed residential subdivision - are
Regulated by the TRCA. An area of the property adjacent to the Gore Road is also traversed by
the Gore Road Tributary of the Humber River, which is also Regulated by the TRCA. This permit
is to allow for grading and initial servicing works (to include temporary stormwater management
measures) within the Regulated tableland areas, as well as initial stormwater servicing works
within the valley corridor. As only small portions of the subject property are Regulated by the
TRCA (areas directly adjacent Clarkway Tributary) grading works are presently underway on
portions of the property that are not Regulated by the TRCA.
The works proposed under this permit constitute the first phase of works, and the first of several
permits that will be required for works on the subject property. Additional permits will be
brought forward to a future Executive Committee meeting for permanent stormwater
management works within this Block Plan area, as well as proposed cut and fill works, once the
outstanding comments and concerns of TRCA staff have been adequately addressed.
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 sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained on the subject
property during all phases of construction.
1075
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns anticipated with this project.
Conservation of Land:
No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. Although there are no
fisheries related concerns associated with this proposal, a Letter of Advice will be provided on
behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada as a temporary stormwater management outfall is to be
constructed.
Plantings
A comprehensive planting plan is to be provided, and implemented as a condition of the
approval of this subdivision. As a coordinated plan is still being developed for all of the
subdivisions within this Block Plan that are traversed by the Clarkway Tributary, details
on the proposed plantings cannot be provided at this time. Additional details will be
provided in subsequent permits for this Block Plan.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is consistent with Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development - of the Authority's
Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

recieved by TRCA Planning and Development November 5, 2008, to address all
outstanding engineering related issues.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
1076
Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to recognize the unlawful construction of a shed within a
TRCA Regulated Area of the Mimico Creek Watershed. The rear of the subject property is
located adjacent to a valley corridor of the Mimico Creek Watershed. In the 1970s a violation
notice was issued for fill placement without a permit. At present time, the violation remains
active. The purpose of this application is to resolve the active violation. As such, TRCA staff
conducted a site inspection and confirm that the existing development is sufficiently setback
from the valley corridor feature. Additionally, the area to which this application applies appears
to have been a manicured lawn, void of any significant vegetation. As well, the existing shed
structure is located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. In this regard, it is the opinion of
TRCA staff that the existing shed structure is in conformity with TRCA's current policies. The
proponent has agreed to provide enhancement plantings between the existing shed structure
and the valley corridor in order to improve the ecological condition of this site. In accordance
with our current fee schedule, an additional violation fee (50% of the base fee) has been
collected with this permit application.
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 is anticipated.
Pollution:
As no development is proposed at this time, no sediment and erosion controls are required.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns related to this application
Conservation of Land:
No significant vegetation was removed as result of construction. However, an enhancement
planting plan has been provided with this application.
Plantings
All proposed plantings are in conformity with TRCA's planting 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).

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The applicant proposes to construct a 5 storey parking garage addition to the rear of the
existing multi -level parking garage. The parking garage addition would be constructed over an
area that is currently used as a surface parking lot. The parking garage addition would have a
gross floor area of approximately 3089 sq.m. (33,250 sq.ft) and would provide parking for an
additional 484 vehicles. The garage as enlarged would be able to accommodate 1,261 parking
spaces. Over the last three years TRCA staff have been working with NYGH staff and their
consultants regarding the expansion of parking facilities on site. Through discussions with the
applicant it became apparent that the site is highly constrained and an addition to the existing
parking garage as proposed was the best option, notwithstanding that the lowest floor (L2) of
1087
the garage addition would be situated below the Regional flood level. The number of spaces
provided in the lowest level of the garage addition does not exceed the existing number of
parking spaces within the floodplain portion of the site. Access to the lowest level of the
proposed parking structure would be provided from the north and from the west along the ring
road similar to existing conditions.
Control of Flooding:
As noted above the proposed garage addition is located in an area that is susceptible to
flooding in the event of a Regional Storm. Based on the information submitted by the applicant,
TRCA staff are satisfied that there will be no significant impacts to upstream or downstream
flood storage or conveyance of floodwaters resulting from the proposed structure. Overall the
parking garage extension would reduce the risk to life and property in the event of a Regional
flood. For example, a vehicle containment system will be installed along the perimeter of the
lowest level of the proposed garage to prevent vehicles from being swept away during a flood.
Furthermore, to enable the safe evacuation of the lowest level of the garage in the event of a
flood, North York General Hospital (NYGH) in consultation with TRCA staff have prepared a
series of emergency response procedures which form part of the Hospital's Operational
Management Plan (OMP). The OMP has been reviewed and approved by TRCA staff and will
form part of the approved permit.
Conditional Approval:
The applicant is in the process of receiving final site plan approval from the City of Toronto for
the proposed works. One of the requirements of site plan approval is that the owner (NYGH)
enter into a site plan agreement with the City of Toronto. TRCA staff requested a number of
conditions be included in the site plan agreement including having NYGH agree that no
additional parking or structures will be permitted within the regulatory floodplain. Furthermore,
NYGH has agreed to the condition that the lowest level of parking within the garage addition
will be utilized by hospital staff only and that appropriate signage will be placed to warn staff of
the flood risk associated with this parking level.
Given the above staff is requesting permission from the Executive Committee to allow the
issuance of the Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit for this project subject to written confirmation
that NYGH has entered into a Site Plan Agreement with the City of Toronto.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
Evergreen's proposal is to obtain a TRCA permit to place and excavate fill, and develop within a
Regulated Area of the Don River Watershed to facilitate the site preparation, building
stabilization and servicing phase of the regeneration of the Don Valley Brick Works. The Brick
Works is located in the Don Valley on the west side of the Bayview Avenue extension and north
of Bloor Street in the City of Toronto. Existing conditions are illustrated on Attachment 1. All
works are limited to the portion of the "industrial pad" illustrated on Attachment 1. The site
currently includes sixteen (16) industrial buildings formerly used in the 19th and 20th century
for the production of bricks. Four (4) of the buildings are currently occupied to various extents
by the City of Toronto and the Don Valley Art Club. The remainder are unoccupied and
deteriorating.
The history of Evergreen's involvement with the Brick Works is as follows. The Brick Works site
was acquired by TRCA by expropriation in 1987 and the site is under management agreement
with the City of Toronto. The site includes significant heritage buildings and was designated
under the Ontario Heritage Act by the City of Toronto in 2002. Since the expropriation in 1987,
there have been a number of plans supported by TRCA and the City of Toronto outlining how
best to use the site as a public asset. Partial implementation of those plans has resulted in the
creation of the Weston Quarry Garden, daylighting of a portion of Mud Creek, and the
redevelopment and reuse of Building 1. Recognizing the deteriorating state of the remaining
heritage buildings, the TRCA and City of Toronto issued a public request for proposals for
partners to regenerate the site. TRCA and the City of Toronto selected Evergreen pursuant to a
proposal dated August 15, 2003 to regenerate and operate the "industrial pad" of the Brick
Works for the purposes of: 1) maintaining and enhancing the public open space; 2)
1092
rehabilitating and adaptively re -using the heritage structures on a financially self - supporting
basis; and 3) creating an exciting Toronto destination on the themes of community, culture and
urban ecology. The next step in the process was the signing of a tripartite Memorandum of
Understanding between TRCA, Evergreen and City of Toronto on September 30, 2004. The
MoU provided Evergreen with options to lease the industrial pad and regenerate the site
subject to the site drawing, proposed uses and capital plan outlined in the schedules to the
MoU. Following the MoU, TRCA worked with Evergreen and its partners to develop the Master
Plan for Evergreen at the Brickworks. On July 27, 2007, the TRCA Authority Board approved
Resolution #A160/07 supporting the Master Plan and directing staff to enter into a Lease
Agreement with Evergreen for the industrial pad subject to various conditions including the
approval of the City of Toronto. The lease agreement was also approved by City Council in
2007. The approval of TRCA permits is one of the conditions that must be satisfied for the lease
agreement to be executed and for Evergreen to obtain the committed funding for the projects
construction.
In 2006, the Toronto and East York Committee of Adjustment approved a Minor Variance for the
Brick Works site to allow for uses accessory to the principal use as public recreation. In 2007,
Evergreen submitted a Site Plan application to the City of Toronto for the regeneration of the
industrial pad. The proposal is illustrated on Attachment 2. The Site Plan application includes
full or partial restoration and occupation of twelve (12) buildings, the stabilization of three (3)
buildings to remain unoccupied for the time being, the demolition of one (1) building, the
construction of a new four - storey multi - purpose building above a restored Building No. 12, and
surface parking. The Site Plan application including a detailed Floodplain Management Plan
has been reviewed by TRCA staff and is satisfactory subject to Evergreen meeting a series of
detailed conditions. These conditions include Evergreen developing and implementing an Site
Flooding Management and Evacuation Plan with the assistance of TRCA staff and various
emergency management agencies such as Police, Fire and EMS prior to occupancy of the
development.
The purpose of this permit application is to allow for the first phase of construction to begin in
November 2008 and includes the following:
• The installation of sediment / tree protection fencing;
• Development of a new access driveway from Bayview Avenue to lands leased by Evergreen
from CP Rail;
• Excavating, filling and grading surface parking and courtyards, including lands leased by
Evergreen from CP Rail;
• Construction of an erosion and sediment control pond;
• Construction of temporary stormwater management swales and rock check dams;
• Installation of oil -grit separators;
• Installation of sanitary sewer facilities;
• Installation of potable water facilities;
• Removal and replacement of a failing retaining wall on the north slope behind Building Nos.
15 and 16;
• Remediation of a failing slope associated with the retaining wall behind Building Nos. 15
and 16;
• Roof and window repair and stabilization of Building Nos. 9, 10 and 11;
• Drilling micropiles and foundation cassions for Building Nos. 12 and 14;
• Partial demolition of Building 12; and
1093
• Full demolition of Building 13.
A second permit application for the remainder of the construction (Phase 2) is expected to be
considered by the Executive Committee in early 2009.
Conditional Permit:
TRCA staff is currently reviewing the Lease Agreement with respect to allowing for the
installation of deep foundation micropiles and /or foundation cassions. As such, the Lease
Agreement may need to be amended or other legal documentation approved. Therefore the
drilling of micropiles and foundation cassions for Building Nos. 12 and 14 component of this
permit is conditional upon the appropriate approvals by TRCA and the City of Toronto.
Control of Flooding:
The site is in a floodplain and susceptible to routine flooding. The site is susceptible to
approximately four metres of flooding during a 350 -year flood event and approximately six
metres during a Regional flood event. Bayview Avenue is typically closed to through traffic in
response to flooding. The buildings are located within a widened area of the Don Valley, where
the floodplain is not subject to the full impact of flood flows in the Don River. Of critical
importance is the location of the hydraulic floodway through the site. The hydraulic floodway is
defined as the part of the floodplain where flood velocities are the highest, and where
structures, people, and vehicles are at the greatest risk during floods. Only the southernmost
extent of the site falls within the hydraulic floodway, to the south of Building Nos. 14, 15 and 16.
This area includes a portion of the existing parking. Flood velocities are minimal on the
remainder of the site.
As such, there are challenges to re- occupying the site so that the designated heritage buildings
can be restored and the history of brick making in this part of the Don Valley can be preserved.
The heritage consultants expect that a number of the heritage buildings would need to be
demolished in the near future due to safety hazards if the buildings continue to remain
unoccupied and impacted by vandalism and water penetration. Therefore, the Master Plan,
Lease Agreement and subsequent planning and permit approvals require the following: 1) all
buildings will be flood proofed to the 350 year flood event and a flood study shows that there
will be no impact to up or down stream flooding; and 2) an Site Flooding Management and
Evacuation Plan will be developed and implemented. As such, extensive efforts have been
made by Evergreen to manage the flooding on site, including the following:
1) The approach to flood proofing includes raising the base grade and ground floor elevations
of much of the industrial pad to above the two year flood elevation to eliminate the
"nuisance" flooding that occurs on a routine basis. A flood study has confirmed that this
approach will have no impact on up or down stream flooding and will eliminate frequent and
costly property damage during these smaller storms. The approach to floodproofing also
includes "wet" floodproofing the buildings to the 350 year flood elevation. This includes
raising all critical electrical and mechanical infrastructure to approximately 4 metres above
grade, installing trips on electrical connections, using materials such as concrete or brick
that can take water and confirming that the buildings can structurally withstand a Regional
flood event. Finally, the overall on the ground" footprint of the existing development has
been reduced and the new development above Building No. 12 is raised above the 350
year flood elevation. All of these floodproofing measures have been confirmed through the
Site Plan approval process.
1094
2) The development of the Site Flooding Management and Evacuation Plan is being prepared
by Evergreen with assistance from a committee including TRCA staff, City staff, and Fire,
Police and EMS staff, among others. The development and implementation of this Plan is
required as a condition of the Lease Agreement and Site Plan approval, and occupancy of
the development will not be considered until such time as the Plan is complete. The Plan
will include a communications protocol, emergency power, a process to trigger full human
and vehicle evacuation of the industrial pad under the threat of flooding and, in the unlikely
situation where a full evacuation is not possible, the provision of an on -site safe haven
located above the Regional Storm flood elevation in the new portion of Building No. 12. The
Plan's procedures will evolve over time based on experience with the threat of flooding.
TRCA staff is satisfied that all of the above requirements can be met in Phase 2 and therefore
consideration of the Phase 1 works subject to this permit application can proceed. Most of the
work to take place in Phase 1, including building demolition and stabilization, excavation of the
stormwater management facilities, and drilling micropiles and foundation cassions will either
have no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters due to their nature, or will
increase flood storage due to excavation. The filling of the site to above the two year flood
elevation has been confirmed through a flood study to have no impact on up or down stream
flood storage and will have a positive effect of reducing property damage during nuisance
storms. In addition, an Emergency Response Plan reviewed and approved by TRCA staff will
be implemented during construction. This Plan provides the necessary protocols for
Evergreen's contractor to follow if there is a threat of flooding during construction.
As such the works subject to this permit application for Phase 1 will have no impact on the
storage or conveyance of flood waters and TRCA staff is confident that the Phase 2 works can
meet the technical conditions of the Lease Agreement, Master Plan and Site Plan approvals.
Pollution:
Temporary sediment control has been provided per the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area
Conservation Authorities, Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction.
These controls include a stormwater management pond with interim erosion and sediment
controls during construction, swales, rock -check dams, oil -grit separators, and sediment
control fencing.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
Temporary erosion control has been provided per the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area
Conservation Authorities, Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction. The
removal and replacement of the failing retaining wall and associated north slope remediation
works behind Building Nos. 15 and 16 has been reviewed by TRCA geotechnical engineering
staff. As such, there are no geotechnical issues with the proposal.
Conservation of Land:
The proposal within the industrial pad is not located in a significant area and will not impact the
conservation of land. The industrial pad is either fully developed with buildings, paved parking
or previously disturbed. Tree protection hoarding will be installed. Native restoration plantings
1095
will be provided on the valley slopes, within the buffers to be located between the toe of slope
and the eastern parking area, and within the industrial pad during Phase 2 of the development.
These plantings will mitigate the loss of various hazard trees and non - native species that will be
removed as part of Phase 1. The plantings will be secured through the Site Plan approval
process.
Plantings
No plantings are required at this stage. They will be secured through the Site Plan
approval process and will be included in the permit application for Phase 2.
Policy Guidelines:
The TRCA reviews all Planning and Permit applications in concert with the Valley and Stream
Corridor Management Program. An Objective of the Program is to "prevent development that...
affects the control of flooding, pollution or conservation of land within valley and stream
corridors." The Program recognizes that "where development has occurred within
valley...corridors, increased flexibility for valleyland management is required" and provides
policies for redevelopment of existing developed sites located within the floodplain.
Specifically, the Program prohibits major additions but allows for redevelopment with
replacement structures and /or minor additions subject to various criteria, the intent of which is
to reduce the risk to life and property damage. Phase 2 of the project will include a minor
addition. One of the policy guidelines for such redevelopment is that "ingress and egress
should be 'safe' pursuant to Provincial floodproofing guidelines and /or achieve the maximum
level of flood protection determined to be feasible or practical based on existing infrastructure ".
In the case of the Brick Works, 'safe' ingress and egress cannot be achieved and the
construction of 'safe' ingress and egress cannot be constructed through the valley slopes
without negatively impacting the conservation of land.
However, there are a number of fundamental differences to this application, including: 1) the
Program recognizes the provincial interest in preserving and restoring buildings and structures
designated as architecturally or historically important; 2) a recognition of the need for an
additional environmental education centre in the Toronto region; and 3) the site is owned by the
TRCA, managed by the City of Toronto and is subject to a Lease Agreement that mandates
flood proofing and implementation of an Emergency Response Plan during construction and a
Site Flooding Management and Evacuation Plan for Evergreen's staff and visitors upon
occupancy. As such, TRCA staff are satisfied that the maximum level of flood protection
determined to be feasible or practical based on existing infrastructure is achieved in Phase 1
and can be achieved in Phase 2. Therefore, the risk to life and property can be sufficiently
reduced so that both the overall plan for the redevelopment and the Phase 1 works included in
this permit application meet the objectives of the 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 a new dwelling on an existing lot of record within a Regulated Area
of the Don River Watershed. In addition to the construction of the dwelling, the proposed works
include the construction of a retaining wall, site grading and restoration planting.
The subject property and neighbouring residential lots contain a slope feature. The slope on
the existing lot has already been highly altered through the construction of the subdivision in
the 1990's. As part of the original Plan of Subdivision approval process for the neighbourhood
(19T -89025 - Jansil Properties Ltd.), a 7.5 metre building setback was established from the
staked Top of Bank at the request of TRCA. The staked Top of Bank roughly coincides with the

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal is to construct a con -span culvert crossing over a tributary of the Humber River
(West Rainbow Creek) in Planning Block 64, in the City of Vaughan. The proposed crossing is
located where Street '1' crosses West Rainbow Creek (southwest of Rutherford Road and
Huntington Road). The proposed infrastructure works will facilitate the development of a
previously approved industrial subdivision on the Block 64 lands (19T -06V13 - Boca East).
Planning Block 64 is located on the west side of the City of Vaughan; bounded by Rutherford
Road to the north, Huntington Road to the east, Langstaff Road t� the south and to the west by
Highway 50. The watercourse in this area exhibits low flows and mud substrate during the
summer months. It is considered to be intermittent in nature while the streambed is dry in the
summer. Groundwater is located well below the proposed culvert crossing and therefore,
groundwater seepage is not expected during construction.
In order to install the proposed culvert crossing, coffer dams will be constructed upstream and
downstream of the crossing, thereby isolating the work site. A fish rescue will then be
conducted by a certified fisheries biologist. Flows from the watercourse will then be pumped
around the work site. Once the crossing has been completed, the coffer dams will be removed.
Appropriate restoration and stabilization of disturbed areas will then be conducted.
Control of Flooding:
Technical staff has reviewed the applicant's submissions, including revised floodline modeling
and is satisfied that the storage or conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted by the
proposed works.
Pollution:
Environmental /sediment fencing is proposed as an erosion and sediment control measure
around the work site. This will ensure that the migration of sediment into the watercourse is
minimized to the furthest extent possible.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
1102
Erosion:
Erosion will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned sediment control
measures. There are no geotechnical /slope stability issues associated with the proposed
works.
Conservation of Land:
Given that coffer dams will be constructed in the watercourse and flows from the tributary will
be directed around the work site, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and
Oceans Canada (DFO).
Plantings
All disturbed areas will be restored and stabilized upon completion of the proposed
works. This includes extensive plantings of native, non - invasive species.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The proposal is to conduct restoration works in order to implement a natural channel design
within a tributary of the Humber River (West Rainbow Creek), in Planning Block 64, in the City of
Vaughan. The proposed works are located within the valley corridor of the Planning Block
(southwest of Rutherford Road and Huntington Road).
1103
Planning Block 64 is located on the west side of the City of Vaughan; bounded by Rutherford
Road to the north, Huntington Road to the east, Langstaff Road to the south and to the west by
Highway 50. There is an approved Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) in place for
Block 64, which was approved in 2005. During the MESP process, the limits of the West
Rainbow Creek valley corridor was identified and delineated. Since the approval of the Block 64
MESP, TRCA staff has received and draft approved a related draft plan of subdivision for the
area (19T -06V13 - Boca East).
The proposed works are associated with another application for a permit under Ontario
Regulation 166/06 (630 /08NAUG) which was conditionally approved by the Executive
Committee on October 3, 2008 (for topsoil grading works). As part of this grading permit,
topsoil from two different locations within Block 64 are proposed to be placed around two
existing on -line ponds. These ponds are irrigation ponds previously utilized by the former golf
course on the subject lands. The ponds will remain on -line, however, extensive works will take
place to implement a natural channel design to promote fish habitat and passage through this
area.
In order to implement the proposed natural channel design works, sediment control measures
will be erected. Coffer dams will be erected upstream and downstream of the work site. A pump
by -pass system will be used to direct flows around the proposed work area. Once the channel
is constructed, the coffer dams will be removed, followed by appropriate restoration and
stabilization of all disturbed areas.
Control of Flooding:
TRCA staff has reviewed technical submissions regarding the proposed natural channel design
works and is satisfied that the storage or conveyance of flood waters will not be negatively
impacted.
Pollution:
Erosion and sediment controls including silt fencing will be implemented prior to the initiation of
works and maintained for the duration of construction; to ensure that sediment does not enter
the watercourse and ponds.
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. Given the
nature of the in- stream works, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and
Oceans Canada (DFO).
Plantings
Extensive plantings of native, non - invasive species will be carried out in the valley
corridor as part of the overall restoration effort in Block 64.

Proposal:
The purpose is to construct an inground pool, patio and shed within a Regulated Area of the
Humber River Watershed. The proposed inground pool is located approximately 7 metres away
from a 1.6 metre high retaining wall and the proposed shed is located at least 6 metres from the
retaining wall. Based upon a Site Visit conducted by TRCA staff August 21, 2008, TRCA
geotechnical staff observed that the existing retaining wall was beginning to show signs of
failure.
According to a Geotechnical Report prepared by Terraprobe dated October 15, 2008, the
proposed location of the pool is sufficiently setback and will not have an adverse impact on the
retaining wall. In addition, based upon revised drawing submitted by the applicant, the location
of the proposed shed is also sufficiently setback from the retaining wall as recommend by the
Terraprobe report.
TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that the setback for the shed and 7 metre setback for the
inground pool are sufficient for any works that may be required in the future to replace or
stabilize the existing retaining wall.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are located in close proximity (approximately 6 metres) to, but outside, of
the Regional Storm Flood Plain. There will be no impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood
waters.
1105
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained during the construction of the pool
and shed to prevent sediment from migrating off the subject property.

1106
Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a new, single - family dwelling
on a vacant lot of record at 14534 Caledon -King Townline South, in the Town of Caledon. An
intermittent tributary of the Humber River Watershed traverses the front portion of the property
adjacent to the Caledon -King Townline and flows from an Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) wetland
feature at the south of the property to the north. The proposed works will be located on the
tableland portion of the subject property away from the stream corridor associated with the
above -noted tributary. Based on our review, the proposed works appear to be sufficiently
setback from both the stream corridor and wetland feature. An existing farm laneway and
watercourse crossing will be upgraded and utilized in order to gain access to the tableland
portion of the lot where the works are proposed. TRCA staff has confirmed that the existing
driveway is located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, there are no flooding,
geotechnical or ecology related concerns associated with this proposal. Additionally,
enhancement riparian plantings are proposed with this application along the banks of the
watercourse and adjacent to the wetland feature in order to provide an ecological net gain for
this site.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no impact
to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters is anticipated.
Pollution:
Appropriate sediment and erosion controls (i.e., silt fencing) 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 application.
Conservation of Land:
No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of this project. An extensive enhancement
planting plan has been submitted with this application, Additionally, although there are no
fisheries related concerns associated with these works, a Letter of Advice (LOA) will be issued
on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The LOA will be issued with the permit to
identify to the proponent that the erosion and sediment controls as proposed with this project
are required to prevent the release of sediment laden runoff into the nearby tributary as
required under the Federal Fisheries Act. In our opinion, the proposed controls will prevent any
adverse impacts to fish habitat.
Plantings
A planting plan in accordance with TRCA's guidelines has been submitted with this
application in order to enhance the stream corridor and wetland features on the
property. In addition, all disturbed areas will be re- vegetated with native and

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose is to construct an addition to an existing dwelling and a replacement septic
system within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. The subject property is
located along the edge of the East Humber River valley corridor. TRCA staff note that the entire
septic system and only a portion of the addition are located within the Regulated Area.
Excavation and foundation work had commenced on the portion of the dwelling addition
outside of the Regulated Area in June 2008. Additionally, the fill removed during excavation was
placed over the existing top of bank. As a result, TRCA enforcement staff issued a violation
(Violation No. V2382) in June 2008 and construction activity has stopped pending approval of
TRCA's permit. An additional administrative fee has been charged as part of this permit
application.
1115
In order to resolve the violation, the fill material placed over top of bank is to be removed from
the property and the slope is to be regraded to a slope ratio of approximately 3H:1 V. In
addition, plantings are to be provided along the restored slope and top of bank to increase
slope stability and provide an enhanced buffer between the proposed residential use and the
adjacent valley lands. The proposed addition does not encroach further towards the natural
feature.
Violation:
The placement of fill over the top of bank was done in the absence of a TRCA permit. The
owner has submitted this application, at the request of TRCA staff in order to rectify this
situation.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. There will be no
impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing will be erected and maintained for the duration of construction to
prevent the transport of sediment into the adjacent valleylands.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed works will not adversely affect the
stability of the slope or valley wall.
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
A buffer composed of native, non - invasive species plantings is provided along the edge
of the valley system in order to create an enhanced buffer between the proposed
residential uses and the valley corridor. All other disturbed areas are to be restored to
the previous existed sodded conditions and will not affect any significant natural
features.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 C) - Minor Additions - of the Authority's Valley and
Stream Corridor Management Program.

BACKGROUND
The Morningside Storm Sewer Outfall Shoreline Protection Project is located south of
Guildwood Parkway at the base of the Scarborough Bluffs below Morningside Avenue, City of
Toronto. The project involves shoreline protection directly in front of the newly restored outfall
structure. The storm sewer outfall shoreline protection was designed by Shoreplan
Engineering Limited and calls for an armour stone revetment along with the shoreline and slope
stabilization works. This shoreline protection will prevent future erosion and damage to the
Morningside storm sewer outfall structure.
RATIONALE
Tender RSD08 -38 and Tender RSD08 -39 were publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial
News on September 24, 2008. Tender packages were sent to a total of nine potential bidders

Based on the bids received, TRCA staff has determined that the lowest bid on both projects by
J.C. Rock is disqualified as it did not contain a certified cheque. The tender stipulates that...
" In order to secure the due performance by Tenderers of the obligations undertaken by
them, an original Tender Security of 10% of tender price in the format of a bank guarantee or
certified cheque is required."
1146
This has resulted in J.C. Rock being disqualified from the tendering process. Therefore, staff
recommend that Contract RSD08 -38 be awarded to Glenn Windrem Trucking for the total unit
price of $44.68 per tonne and a total cost not to exceed $111,700.00, plus GST, and Contract
RSD08 -39 be awarded to Dufferin Aggregates for the total unit price of $27.95 per tonne and a

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Parc Downsview Park (PDP) be
commended for its initiatives to improve the water quality and quantity controls in the
Black Creek subwatershed;
THAT PDP be requested to contribute toward funding to Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority's (TRCA) West Nile virus monitoring program for the purposes of
monitoring the proposed stormwater management ponds and proposed lake;
AND FURTHER THAT PDP and the City of Toronto be requested to include the following
objective in the Downsview Secondary Plan Update: "Protect, restore, enhance and
expand the form, features and functions of the natural heritage system as well as advance
environmental stewardship and sustainable site and building design in the Secondary
Plan study area. ".
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #8/08, held on October 24, 2008, Resolution #A252/08 was approved as
follows:
THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority staff contact the staff of Parc
Downsview Park (PDP) with a view to investigating the on -going construction and
management of a pond on the Keele Street side of PDP, specifically the viability of the
pond with respect to, but not limited to:
• health - related concerns (ie. West Nile virus);
• monitoring of algae and bacteria;
• effect of rain water;
• water management;
1155
• potential of degradation over time;
AND FURTHER THAT staff report back at Executive Committee Meeting #9/08,
scheduled to be held on November 7, 2008.
This report responds to this request and will be accompanied by a presentation by the Chair of
Parc Downsview Park Inc. Also included is an update on the Downsview Secondary Plan
Review process.
Water Management Initiatives
In November 2007, PDP staff approached TRCA Planning and Development, and Ecology staff
to provide technical review of the stormwater management system proposed to service a
portion of the PDP and Bombardier lands located east of Keele Street and south of Sheppard
Avenue West in the City of Toronto. PDP is proposing three pond -type facilities as part of the
overall stormwater management strategy for the area. This strategy was reviewed by TRCA
staff in October 2008 and meets TRCA water management objectives. The North Pond. and
South pond will receive runoff from the areas in the northeast and southern portions of the site
that are planned to be redeveloped. The exact use and design of these redeveloped areas will
be determined through the Secondary Plan Review (see below). These two ponds will function
to provide settling of suspended sediment and pollutants. The North Pond and South Pond will
also function in concert with the lake proposed on the west side of the park to detain runoff
from the park lands and release it slowly to prevent any increase in flooding and erosion that
could be caused by runoff from newly developed areas. All three facilities are proposed to
continuously contain water; in the case of the North and South ponds this is necessary to
achieve the water quality treatment function, whereas the lake requires a permanent water level
to sustain its function as a landscape feature.
While the PDP report outlining the strategy does not speak specifically to the issue of West Nile
virus (WNV), large artificial bodies ,of water such as the proposed stormwater retention ponds
are not typically considered to be significant breeding sites for mosquito species that transmit
the virus, as noted on the City of Toronto Public Health web page. As part of its Regional
Watershed Monitoring Program, TRCA operates an annual monitoring program for West Nile
virus vector mosquitos that includes some stormwater management (SWM) ponds and natural
wetlands. Results obtained over the past four years have indicated that although stormwater
retention ponds may contain higher numbers of WNV vector species than natural wetlands, in
most cases the density of larvae are usually low enough to preclude any risk to the public.
Similar findings were obtained in 2008 during a particularly "wet" summer season. TRCA is
currently looking for funding and partnerships in order to monitor additional SWM ponds,
including an assessment of their design characteristics, habitat features and maintenance
regime in order to determine any linkages between these variables and the presence and
number WNV vector mosquitos. The proposed PDP ponds could be monitored as part of this
program if requested.
1156
With respect to "monitoring of algae and bacteria, effect of rain water, water management and
potential degradation over time," TRCA staff has reviewed the stormwater management strategy
for PDP and have verified that TRCA objectives are met with respect to water quality, erosion
and flood control. In addition, the measures proposed to manage stormwater, including the
proposed ponds, are consistent with provincial guidelines and are typical of development in the
Greater Toronto Area and elsewhere in Ontario. TRCA staff has made PDP staff aware of the
City of Toronto Wet Weather Flow Management Guidelines and the opportunities for the
application of innovative lot and conveyance stormwater management measures during the
planning and design of the development parcels. This is typically addressed through the
Secondary Plan Review.
Secondary Plan Review
The City of Toronto is undertaking a review of the Downsview Area Secondary Plan which was
initially approved in 1999. The boundary of the Secondary Plan is approximately 530 hectares
in area and major landowners include PDP, Bombardier Aerospace, Department of National
Defense and the City of Toronto. The review presents an opportunity to reassess the
Secondary Plan in the context of the City's planning goals and objectives and to ensure the
planning policies for this area are current and appropriate to guide future development. In
particular, the review will consider the Spadina Subway Extension which will include a new
subway station near Sheppard Avenue and the CN rail line which will connect with the GO
Transit rail service between Barrie and downtown Toronto. As well, PDP, a major landowner
within the Secondary Plan area, has evolved the development vision for their lands and would
like this vision to be considered through the review. The vision includes a Comprehensive Park
Plan, December 2007 and Sustainable Community Development Guidelines, December 2007.
A consulting team has been retained by the City to assist with the review. Public and agency
consultation includes the formation of a community liaison committee to include a small group
of residents, businesses and local agencies as well as a Technical Review Committee. TRCA
staff is included on the Technical Review Committee and has to date taken part in various site
visits and provided natural heritage system data to the City. Staff has raised the importance of
protecting, restoring, enhancing and expanding the natural heritage system in the study area,
including the provision of water quality and quantity, and terrestrial and aquatic enhancements
to the Black Creek watershed, as well as the protection and enhancement of existing woodlots.
The Secondary Plan Review is expected to be presented in draft in mid 2009.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PONDS
Environmental Protection During Clean Out. To clarify the Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority role in the clean out of stormwater
management ponds to ensure the environment is protected.
1157

Seconded by:
Jack Heath
Rob Ford
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority (TRCA) staff continue to review the environmental protection measures applied
for the management of environmental impacts that may arise during clean out of
stormwater management ponds in regulated areas or that discharge to regulated areas.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Executive Committee Meeting #8/08, held on October 3, 2008, a permit provided to a
municipality for clean out of a stormwater management (SWM) pond was discussed, and
specifically whether TRCA monitors the environment during the clean out process and how
TRCA ensures water discharged from a SWM pond during removal of accumulated sediments
would not degrade water quality in receiving streams. Staff was asked to report back to the
Executive Committee on environmental protection during the clean out of SWM ponds.
SWM ponds are designed to settle sediment to protect downstream water quality and typically
operate for a number of years (10 years minimum) before requiring the pond to be cleaned to
remove the accumulated sediment. In order to clean out a pond, the water levels would be
drawn down, and inflows to the pond would temporarily bypass the facility. The pond is then
cleaned by means of excavating equipment to restore its storage capacity and operating
characteristics. The removal of large volumes of sediment as well as discharge of
sediment -laden water during clean out operations poses a risk of to natural systems, unless
such activities are undertaken in a manner that minimizes the risk and potential impact to the
natural environment.
Under the Ontario Water Resources Act, the clean out of sediment control ponds is the
responsibility of the owner of the facility (typically the municipality in which the facility is
located), and each clean out operation should be undertaken as a Class Environmental
Assessment Schedule A which covers on -going maintenance activities and characterization of
sediment quality. The municipality would be required to prepare all plans, ensure all approvals
are obtained, manage or undertake the clean out operations, and ensure the environmental
systems are not adversely affected as a result of these operations.
Where the SWM pond is in a regulated area, or clean out operations are proposed that will
discharge water into an area regulated under Ontario Regulation 166/06 - Development,
Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses, TRCA requires an
application for a permit. In advance of approving a permit, TRCA reviews and comments on the
proposed operations and environmental controls in order to ensure water quality is protected
and the natural environment is not adversely affected. Specifically, staff would review and
provide comments on sediment and erosion control plans, dewatering activities, flow
management and restoration of the natural environment after completion of works.
1158
RATIONALE
TRCA is involved in pond clean out applications for facilities which are located within regulated
areas or which discharge to regulated areas. TRCA permits the SWM Pond clean out
operations in regulated areas in accordance with our regulations, policies and guidelines in
order to ensure our environmental protection and enhancement objectives are achieved, in
much the same manner as any other type of activity in our regulated areas. This requires the
proponent to prepare environmental management plans that provide details on the
methodology for cleaning the pond, the various types of measures to be used to isolate the
work area, and details of how discharges from the pond will be filtered or otherwise treated
prior to discharge into a valley or stream corridor. Proposed measures are evaluated by TRCA
staff for their efficacy in treating the discharge in order to achieve Ministry of the Environment
water quality objectives, at a minimum. TRCA enforcement staff will inspect the progress of the
clean out works at various times during the duration of the works, and where an adverse
environmental impact is noted, staff will work with the municipality to provide recommendations
for alternative measures to mitigate these impacts.
These clean out works are of relatively short duration and with the current procedures for
review and revisions of SWM pond clean out plans, as well as field inspections during clean out
operations, staff is satisfied that these measures are adequate to ensure environmental impacts
are minimized.

ONTARIO MUNICIPAL BOARD HEARING
R & D Investments Incorporated and City of Toronto. Authorization for
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority staff to obtain Party Status
before the Ontario Municipal Board on referrals related to a draft plan of
subdivision and zoning by -law amendment applications under the
Planning Act, to permit a residential development at 0 Sheppard Avenue
East (lands adjacent to 33 Boydwood Lane).
Maja Prentice
Jack Heath
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT authorization be given for Toronto
and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff to obtain Party Status before the Ontario
Municipal Board regarding proposed plan of subdivision and zoning by -law amendment
applications and any other associated applications under the Planning Act, to permit a
residential development at 0 Sheppard Avenue East (lands adjacent to 33 Boydwood
Lane), that is not in conformity with policies of the Rouge Park Management Plan (1994);
1159
THAT staff continue to work cooperatively with the City of Toronto and the appellants to
ensure that the requirements of the Rouge Park Management Plan are met;
THAT staff be authorized to retain legal counsel to pursue this appeal before the OMB;
AND FURTHER THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so
advised.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The subject lands are located in the vicinity of Boydwood Lane /Sheppard Avenue East and
include a portion of valley floor, valley slope and watercourse (Rouge River) (Attachment 1).
The applicant has indicated that the existing property was historically used as one single family
residence. The original dwelling was demolished several years ago. The eastern portion of the
property is regulated under Ontario Regulation 166/06 and is located within the boundaries of
Rouge Park as defined in the Rouge Park Management Plan.
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing one lot (tableland portion) into six single
family residential lots to be serviced by a new public roadway (cul -de -sac). The Planning Act
application is to amend the zoning by -law of the former City of Scarborough to permit six new
lots and a public road where currently the zoning permits only one single family dwelling. The
application has been appealed to the OMB by the proponents of the application for the City of
Toronto's failure to render a decision on the application within the review period allotted by the
Planning Act.
TRCA staff has submitted comments on the application to Toronto's City Planning Division and
to the applicant. Staff comments explain that staff do not support the application on the basis
that the redevelopment does not provide a 30 metre buffer from the stable top of bank which is
the standard buffer promoted by the Rouge Park Management Plan (1994). The applicant
proposes a 10 metre buffer from the staked top of bank to the edge of the proposed lots. In
addition, TRCA staff has raised concern over the long term stability of the slope in the vicinity of
the proposed lots and have requested a new geotechnical study be prepared by the applicant.
TRCA staff has consulted with Rouge Park staff as well as staff from the Ministry of Municipal
Affairs and Housing (MMAH) regarding the intent of the Greenbelt Plan and the Rouge Park
policies contained within it. TRCA staff met with the applicant to discuss TRCA comments on
the application.
RATIONALE
A three day hearing has been set by the OMB for February 11, 2009. City of Toronto legal staff
is preparing a report to Council recommending that City staff be directed to retain the
necessary expert witnesses to oppose the proposed subdivision and zoning amendment at the
OMB.
1160
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff is requesting the authorization of the Authority to represent TRCA interests and provide
expert advice to the City of Toronto in order to defend the policies of the Rouge Park
Management Plan at a future OMB hearing. Staff will continue to work with the parties and
participants to the hearing to resolve the issues, and will represent TRCA interests in advance
of the hearing. We anticipate that our legal costs will be streamlined in this case.

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 1.62 hectares (4.00 acres), more or
less, consisting of a rectangular shaped parcel of vacant land, said land being Part of Lot
2, Concession 4 (formerly City of Scarborough), City of Toronto, be purchased from
Heather Ann Beare and Margaret Christina Beare;
THAT the purchase price be $493,000;

AND FURTHER THAT the Rouge Park Alliance be so advised.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the
Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010.
The subject property is 1.62 hectares (4.00 acres) in total size and is located immediately north
of Finch Avenue East in the City of Toronto and is composed of two lots. The north lot is owned
by Heather Ann Beare and the south lot is owned by Margaret Christina Beare. Both lots are
vacant land without any improvements.
The subject property is in the Rouge River watershed and Rouge Park.
Negotiations have been conducted with the owners through their realtor, who represents both
parties. The agreement is conditional on the availability of funding.
The offer at hand is supported by an appraised value based on independent valuations.
Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.
1163
RATIONALE
The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Rouge
River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006 -2010. It
also meets the Rouge Park objective to consolidate private lands within the park into public
ownership when opportunities arise.
Overall the subject property provides a link to neighboring TRCA -owned lands which are to the
south, east and west portion of the subject property. The subject property is primarily meadow
with a small wetland pocket being subject to existing TRCA regulation. This purchase would
prevent two potential private applications on these lots and it would simultaneously provide a
unique opportunity to expand the Rouge Park.
TAXES AND MAINTENANCE
This property will be turned over to the City of Toronto under the terms of the existing
management agreement.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The subject property was identified on the list of properties approved by the City of Toronto to
be funded from the City's Land Acquisition for Source Water Protection Reserve. The city will
fund up to 100% of the costs of the acquisition for properties on the list located within its
boundaries.
Expenditures related to this acquisition will be charged to account 004 -11 -502.

TORONTO DON VALLEY BRICK WORKS
Lease Amendment Agreement. Recommends approval of amendments
to the lease of the Toronto Don Valley Brick Works to Evergreen.
Colleen Jordan
Reenga Mathivanan
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT a lease amending agreement, and
other . agreements, with Evergreen, the City of Toronto, the Weston Foundation and the
Ontario Heritage Trust as may be reasonably required, be approved subject to the
following:
1. extend the dates in the Brick Works lease with Evergreen and the City by which the
conditions and work at the Leased Premises is to be completed and satisfied, but in
no event are such dates to go beyond December 31, 2010;
2. amend the aforesaid lease to include in the Leased Premises certain subsurface
areas, or to grant subsurface easements and rights, from time to time as required for
the construction of the improvements as contemplated by the aforesaid lease on the
Leased Premises;
3. amend the aforesaid lease to reduce the maximum price of construction contracts
between Evergreen and its contractors from $42,000,000 to $30,750,000, plus
applicable taxes;
4. amend the requirement for Evergreen to produce evidence of its receipt of
$42,000,000 or that $42,000,000.00, inclusive of contingencies, has been allocated by
Evergreen to the completion of the improvements on the Leased Premises by
changing $42,000,000.00 to $30,750,000 plus contingencies of $6,200,000;
5. amend other agreements involving the Leased Premises as may be required,
including those with the Ontario Heritage Trust, to be consistent with and in
compliance with the amendments in items noted above;
6. amend any prior authorizations of Toronto and ,Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
to permit staff to negotiate or settle terms of financing arrangements, including
leasehold mortgages and guarantees as provided in the aforesaid lease to reflect the
provisions of this resolution;
7. make such other amendments to the lease agreement as may be reasonably
necessary in connection to the lease, satisfactory to staff and its solicitor;
THAT the lease amendment with regard to the Leased Premises be subject to approval of
the City of Toronto;
THAT the lease amendment be subject to obtaining approval of the Minister of Natural
Resources in accordance with Section 21(2) of the Conservation Authorities Act and
section 42 of the Expropriations Act;
AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take such action as is
necessary to implement the lease amendment agreement and other agreements including
the signing and execution of documents.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
On July 28, 2006, the Authority approved resolution A171/06 as follows:
1172
THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) enter into a lease with
Evergreen for the "leased premises ", being the portion of the Don Valley Brick Works
which includes the industrial buildings and parking areas at the southern end of the site
at 550 Bayview Avenue, subject to the following:
1) the lease be on terms and conditions satisfactory to TRCA staff and solicitors;
2) the lease be subject to approval by the City of Toronto;
THAT, if formally requested by Evergreen, and subject to negotiation of a satisfactory
agreement with the City of Toronto, TRCA consider a joint and several loan guarantee for
Evergreen not to exceed $3 million to a financial institution acceptable to TRCA and the
City of Toronto and subject to terms and conditions satisfactory to TRCA and solicitors;
THAT the Evergreen Master Plan for the restoration and adaptive re -use of the heritage
and cultural resources of the Toronto Don Valley Brick Works dated June, 2006, be
approved;
THAT said lease be subject to obtaining approval of the Minister of Natural Resources in
accordance with Section 21(2) of the Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990, C.27, as
amended, and Section 42 of the Expropriations Act, R.S.O.1990, E.26;
AND FURTHER THAT appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to take all
necessary action to implement the lease including the signing and execution of
documents.
Also, the Executive Committee at its meeting on November 14, 2008, approved the Evergreen
application for permits.
RATIONALE
Staff has been working with representatives of Evergreen and the City of Toronto to implement
the lease agreement. City of Toronto Council has approved recommendations from City staff to
implement the amendments to the lease agreement concurrent with the proposed amendments
listed in the recommendation.
The effect of the changes is to create a two -phase construction schedule. The lease requires
Evergreen to secure substantial federal and provincial funding which they have done. To
continue the private sector fundraising, it is important that Evergreen demonstrate that the
project is progressing. By separating the site mobilization and building stabilization from what
was previously deemed to be an "official Construction Start", Evergreen has additional time to
finalize the project financing and establish construction contracts. All of the preconditions in
the lease must still be fulfilled.
1173
The value of the construction work has been reduced as Evergreen has acquired more
accurate pricing information since the lease was executed about 10 months ago. Evergreen
has completed three cycles of costing, using two different approaches to estimating (trade
pricing and quantity surveying). The project is now estimated to cost $37,800,000 including
contingencies. The lease contained a clause that required Evergreen to provide evidence to
TRCA /City that funding in the full project amount of $42,000,000 had been secured. With the
cost reduction, the lease will be amended so that Evergreen will be required to provide
evidence of funding of $37,800,000.
Under the terms of the existing lease, the area to be leased by Evergreen is "above ground" as
requested by Evergreen. Evergreen is now proposing to lease certain below grade portions of
the leased area to accommodate footings for various structures. Accordingly, the lease must
be amended to accommodate the additional leased area. This will require approval of the
Minister of Natural Resources. Staff will make the necessary application and anticipate
approval since the above grade leased area remains unchanged. Evergreen will be
responsible for any environmental or other risks associated with the below grade leased area.
There are no changes to the scope of the project, the requirement for $18.4 million of Interim
Financing nor to the TRCA/City joint and several loan guarantee of $7,500,000 previously
approved by the Authority. All other terms and conditions of the lease will remain substantially
the same being adjusted only as necessary to implement the foregoing.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
There are no additional financial implications for TRCA as a result of the amendment of the
lease.

OAK RIDGES CORRIDOR PARK
Traffic Control Signal Installation. Reimbursing the Region of York for the
cost to install a traffic signal, signs, line markings and controller cabinet
on Yonge Street to facilitate a safe pedestrian crossing for users of the
Oak Ridges Corridor Park.
Colleen Jordan
Reenga Mathivanan
1174
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority (TRCA) reimburse the Regional Municipality of York in the amount of
$115,355.53 plus applicable taxes, for the installation of a traffic signal and associated
signs, line markings and controller cabinet for users of the Oak Ridges Corridor Park.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Oak Ridges Corridor Park, totalling 1,057 acres (428 ha) is a provincially -owned parcel of
land acquired as a result of a land exchange with private landowners in the Town of Richmond
Hill. The purpose of the land exchange was to protect the last remaining natural corridor link
between the eastern and western parts of the Oak Ridges Moraine in the Town. Maintaining
these lands as open space ensures continuity across the moraine in Richmond Hill.
At the request of the Province of Ontario, through the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing,
TRCA was asked to develop a management plan for the property with the objective that the
lands be managed to protect and restore natural ecosystems, and that a five kilometre
pedestrian trail be designed and built across the lands (the spine trail). An advisory committee
was formed in June 2005 and the Oak Ridges Corridor Park Management Plan was finalized in
early 2006. Additionally, the construction of the east -west primary spine trail was completed in
2007, prior to the formal land transfer to the Province. The land transfer is now complete.
Currently, discussions are ongoing between the Province and TRCA to have TRCA manage the
land.
The former private landowners were required to contribute $3.5 million as part of the land
exchange. This money is to be used to initiate habitat restoration work and construct the
east -west spine trail. Considerable effort was made to locate the spine trail in areas that would
not impact the sensitive habitats or detract from the ability of the land to function as a wildlife
corridor. TRCA worked with the Regional Municipality of York to identify a safe pedestrian
access location across Yonge Street within the boundaries of the subject property.
RATIONALE
Yonge Street is a regional road and, as such, traffic control signals are governed by York
Region.
TRCA considers this a noncompetitive procurement, as per Section 1.14.1 and Section 1.14.5
of TRCA's Purchasing Policy whereby the required goods and services have been arranged by
York Region who have the special knowledge, skills and experience, and statutory
responsibility, for providing the required goods and services. However, the Region of York did
invite tenders for the traffic signal and associated signs, line markings and controller. Eight
companies expressed an interest in the project. Seven companies submitted a bid. York
Region accepted the lowest quote submitted by D.J. Charlton Power and Line Construction.
Three invoices have been received from the Region of York as follows:

given by the private landowners to initiate habitat restoration work and construct the east -west
spine trail. Provincial officials have approved of the use of these funds for the traffic
signalization as part of the trail system. The account code is 406 -10.

AND FURTHER THAT the working group and staff report back to the Executive
Committee no later than December 31, 2008.
RATIONALE
The Long Term Office Accommodation Working Group has met on two occasions, most
recently, November 28, 2008, when the working group agreed that there was a need for the
project to be located in the vicinity of the parking lot at BCPV. Further, the working group and
staff agreed that a detailed business and financial plan demonstrating needs and opportunities
was critical. Also, the plan will set out the phases of the project.
Further meetings of the working group have been scheduled.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
As directed in May of 2008, staff included in TRCA capital budget plans provision to fund long
term office accommodation needs. In 2009, $1 million was identified and $2 million in each
year to 2018. The capital budget process does not extend beyond 10 years but staff expected
that the $2 million per year would have extended out another 10 years. The amount identified
in the budget was a very preliminary estimate based on available information which suggested
long term office accommodation capital costs of about $35 million.
Staff has discussed the long term office accommodation project with some senior financial staff
among TRCA's participating municipalities. The current economic uncertainty has made it
difficult to assess future sources of funding. Staff has been advised that a meeting with senior
financial staff from the City of Toronto and the regions of Peel, York and Durham early in 2009
would be appropriate. The meetings would explore funding sources and methods of raising
the necessary capital under the requirements of the Conservation Authorities Act. Also, the
prospect of federal and /or provincial funding for capital projects which might act as an
economic stimulus would be considered.
1177
Staff continue to explore partnership opportunities and this will have an important impact on
funding of the project. Again, economic conditions impact these discussions.
The status of 2009 capital funding requested of TRCA's municipal partners is as follows:
• City of Toronto staff and budget committee have turned down the request. The City
Manager has agreed to meet early in 2009 to consider the project.
• Region of Peel staff has recommended the Peel share of the project subject to receipt of a
satisfactory business plan and agreement of the other partners.
• Region of York staff is considering the project.
• Region of Durham has yet to deal with the TRCA budget. The regional share is modest,
reflecting that the current value assessment factor for Durham is about 3 %.
In the absence of funding approval of the long term office accommodation project by the major
participating municipalities, staff is proposing to fund the preliminary design and planning using
existing funding in the facilities retrofit account 006 -01. In 2009, the estimate is that about
$500,000 would be available to undertake work in relation to the long term office
accommodation project.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
• Detailed business and financial plan to be prepared setting out phases for completion of the
project.
• Begin preliminary site planning and design work; retain appropriate consultants pursuant to
TRCA'S Purchasing Policy.
• Meetings with municipal funding partners.
• Continue discussions with potential building partners.

RES. #8155/08

THAT the main motion be amended to read:
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Recognition Policy, dated
November 19, 2008, as amended and set out in Attachment 1, with the exception that the
years of service remain as 3, 6 and 10 years in Section B.1., be approved.
THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED
THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Recognition Policy for staff and members of TRCA was approved at Executive Committee
Meeting #17/76, held on November 3, 1976. The policy, which has been updated from time to
time, sets out awards to be presented to recognize staff, volunteers and Authority members for
their dedicated years of services. Also, the policy provides for Honour Roll Awards to be
presented annually to those who have made significant contributions to the cause of
conservation. Although some changes to the policy have been made since its inception to
ensure recognition of appropriate individuals and to amend eligibility criteria for awards, the
employee recognition gifts that are awarded have remained unchanged since 1976.
As the policy has been in place for more than 30 years, staff has taken the opportunity to review
the Recognition Policy in its entirety to ensure appropriate employee recognition gifts are
awarded, and to better reflect current TRCA operating practices. Also, staff is seeking to
ensure employee recognition practices are meaningful to staff and that any recognition gifts are
suitable and appropriate. As a result of the review, changes noted below are recommended by
staff.
RATIONALE
1. Section A.2.
(i) persons serving as members of the Authority its subcommittees or The
Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto (CFGT) at the time of
nomination;
be amended to read
(i) persons serving as members of the Authority or The Conservation
Foundation of Greater Toronto (CFGT) at the time of nomination;
Many years ago, members were appointed to the subcommittees of TRCA that were not
members of the Authority. Under the current structure, the subcommittees include the
Executive Committee and advisory board(s), members of which are all members of the
Authority.
2. Section A.3.
(ii) a tree planted and identified with the recipient's name;
be amended to read
(ii) a tree planted;
1179
In April 2007, the Employee /Recognition Subcommittee recommended to staff that identifiers
on trees be replaced with maps of tree locations prominently displayed at TRCA's Head Office.
Because of vandalism and theft of markers and difficulty in maintaining them at the various
locations, it is no longer practical to have individual markers. As a result, identifiers were, not
produced for the awards presented in 2007 and 2008. Staff is surveying various locations and
developing the maps of tree locations.
3. Section A.3.
(iv) awards to be recorded in display at TRCA's Head Office and recipient
of an award to be issued a lifetime pass.
be amended to read:
(iv) awards to be displayed at TRCA's Head Office and individual
recipients who are not corporate bodies or groups, to be issued an
individual lifetime pass.
Section A is for the Honour Roll Awards which are annually awarded to 4 -5 individuals or
groups "who have made a significant contribution to the aims and objectives of TRCA. ". The
Honour Roll Award consists of:
• a framed citation;
• a tree planted and identified with the recipient's name;
• a lifetime pass.
Difficulty arises in determining who the appropriate recipient of the lifetime pass is when a
group or corporation receives an Honour Roll Award. As a result, recent practice of TRCA has
been to only issue lifetime passes when it is an individual receiving the award. Staff
recommend the above change to bring the policy in line with practices.
4. Section B. Remove Section B. in its entirety and change the following Section C to
B.
Section B of the policy is the Toronto and Region Conservation Award of Excellence which "will
be granted to organizations and /or individuals making an outstanding contribution to the direct
management of renewable natural resources through design and implementation of projects
within the Authority's watershed. ". This award has never been issued and the Honour Roll
Awards outlined in Section A are a broader award that is annually awarded. Staff recommends
that Section B be removed from the policy and the Honour Roll Awards be maintained as the
predominate TRCA award given to outside individuals or groups.
5. Section B (formerly C).
The Service Recognition Award Program was created to recognize
Authority members, CFGT members, Authority Committee Members,
TRCA staff and volunteers, on an annual basis, as follows:
be amended to read:
The Service Recognition Award Program was created to recognize
Authority members, CFGT members, members of TRCA's watershed
councils, TRCA staff and volunteers, on an annual basis, as follows:
1180
In practice, this includes members of TRCA's watershed councils such as the Don Council,
Humber Watershed Alliance, etc., but "Authority Committee Members" is felt to be vague and
left to interpretation as to whether it means watershed councils, or just advisory boards directly
report to the Authority, so staff propose "members of TRCA's watershed councils" replace
"Authority Committee Members" so there is no confusion.
6. Section B.1. (formerly C.1.)
Authority Members:
be amended to read:
Authority members, CFGT members, members of TRCA's watershed
councils, and volunteers (volunteers eligible for awards are those that
provide their services to TRCA on a continuing basis and who provide 30
hours or more of service per year):
Currently there are two sections, Section C.1. for Authority members and C.2. for CFGT
members, Authority Committee Members and volunteers. Staff is recommending consolidation
of awards under these two sections into one Section B. to streamline the process. The same
awards criteria would apply to Authority members, CFGT members, members of TRCA's
watershed councils and volunteers.
7. Section B.1. (formerly C.1.) •
(i) with 3 years of service to be recognized with a silver TRCA logo;
be amended to read
(i) with 4 years of service to be recognized with a silver lapel pin;
(ii) with 6 years of service to be recognized with a lifetime pass and gold
TRCA logo; be amended to read
(ii) with 8 years of service to be recognized with a gold lapel pin;
(iii) with 10 years of service to be recognized with a gold award and to be
recorded in permanent display at the Authority office.
be amended to read
(iii) with 12 years of service to be recognized with a lifetime pass.
•. Changes to the years of service requirements are to bring the policy in line with the
municipal term of office.
• Change from "TRCA logo" to "lapel pin" to clarify the intent. The TRCA logo awarded since
the inception of the policy is a lapel pin.
• Lifetime pass be awarded at 10 years of service rather than six years to be more in line with
the staff award of the lifetime pass, which will be recommended for award upon leaving
TRCA after 15 years of service.
• Gold and silver awards be removed from the policy due to the high cost of gold and the
difficulty in getting the awards produced, in favour of items awarded above, and to be
recommended in Section B.2 below.
• Requirement for awards to be recorded in permanent display at Head Office be removed as
this has not been done to date and would be an onerous task to collect the information for
the 30 years that these have been awarded.
1181
8. Staff recommend that Section C.3. be broken down into two sections (Section B.2(a) and
(b)), to clearly define the awards for regular staff versus supplementary staff.
Section B.2(a). (formerly C.3.)
TRCA staff: Regular staff is eligible for all the awards listed below.
Supplementary staff eligible for awards (i) and (ii) are those that provide
their services on a continuing basis and who provide more than 120
hours of service per year.
be amended to read
TRCA regular staff is eligible for all the awards listed below:
(i) staff in all categories of the Authority, with a minimum of 10 years of
service to be recognized with a silver award;
be amended to read
(i) with a minimum of 10 years of service to be recognized with a $100
cash gift and a silver lapel pin;
(ii) staff in all categories of the Authority, with a minimum of 15 years of
service to be presented with a lifetime pass;
be amended to read
(ii) with a minimum of 15 years of service to be recognized with a $200
cash gift and a gold lapel pin;
(iii) regular staff of the Authority, with a minimum of 25 years of service, or
on retirement after 20 years or more of service, to be presented a gold
award;
be amended to read
(iii) with a minimum of 25 years of service, or on retirement after 20 years
or more of service, to be recognized with a gift of choice from a catalogue
of items provided by TRCA;
add as a new clause
(iv) on leaving the organization in good standing after 15 years of service
to be presented a lifetime pass.
(v) regular staff of the Authority on retirement to be presented with a gift
at a value equivalent to $25.00 for each year of service.
be amended to read
(v) on retirement to be presented with a cash gift at a value of $35.00 for
each year of service.
Section B.2(b). (formerly Section C.3.)
TRCA staff: Supplementary staff that provide their services on a
continuing basis and who provide more than 120 hours of service per
year are eligible for the awards listed below.
1182
(i) staff in all categories of the Authority, with a minimum of 10 years of
service to be recognized with a silver award;
be amended to read
(i) with a minimum of 10 years of service to be recognized with a $100
cash gift and a silver lapel pin;
(iv) staff in all categories, except regular staff, with minimum of 25 years
of service, or on retirement after 20 years of service, to be presented a
gold Authority logo.
be amended to read
(ii) with minimum of 25 years of service, or on retirement after 20 years of
service, to be recognized with a $200 cash gift and a gold lapel pin;
add as a new clause
(iii) on leaving the organization in good standing after 15 years of service
to be presented a lifetime pass.
• As previously stated, it is recommended that gold and silver awards be removed from the
policy due to the high cost of gold and the difficulty in getting the awards produced, in
favour of items awarded above. Cash awards are recommended so that staff can use the
gift in a way meaningful to them.
• Section B.2(a)(iii) recommends a gift to be selected from a catalogue to allow staff to
choose the gift they receive in the hopes of being more meaningful. The catalogue has not
been developed yet, but the intention is to include items such as watches, clocks, vases,
jewelry, that can include a TRCA identifier. It is recommended that the maximum value of
these gifts be set at $500, and modified as appropriate with market fluctuations.
• Change the award of the lifetime pass from 15 years of service to upon leaving the
organization in good standing after 15 years is recommended since those who received the
pass at 15 years felt it had no value until they left the organization as their staff pass
provides the same benefits.
The revised policy to be effective July 1, 2008, so that the next awards given will be in
compliance with the revised policy outlined in Attachment 1.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The average cost of the awards presented under the policy for the last five years is
approximately $6,500. The proposed changes in the policy will result in a small savings to
TRCA while providing a more consistent valued gift to staff. Gold and silver awards are
becoming increasingly expensive and difficult to produce, and as a result staff is having
difficulty getting a consistent quality product produced.

MORAINE COALITION MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Approval to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the
York -Peel- Durham - Toronto /Conservation Authorities Moraine Coalition for
the collection, maintenance, and distribution of data obtained for the
groundwater management study.
Colleen Jordan
Reenga Mathivanan
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS TO THE AUTHORITY THAT a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) with.York -Peel- Durham - Toronto /Conservation Authorities
Moraine Coalition for the collection, maintenance and distribution of data obtained for the
groundwater management study be approved;
THAT the MOU be subject to terms and conditions satisfactory to TRCA staff and, as
necessary, solicitor;
AND FURTHER THAT authorized officials be directed to take the necessary action to
implement the MOU including the signing and execution of documents.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The York -Peel- Durham - Toronto (YPDT) Groundwater Management Study, initiated in 1999, is
being carried out under the umbrella of the Conservation Authorities Moraine Coalition (CAMC).
The project reflects the interests of nine conservation authorities and four municipalities that are
working together to better understand groundwater issues across the Greater Toronto Area.
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 modeling and policy
development. A large part of the program's success 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.
An important theme of the YPDT initiative is that the major technical components assembled for
the project including the database, hydrogeological interpretation and numerical groundwater
flow model, have been designed as a comprehensive groundwater analysis system. Each of
the component parts are to be refined and updated on a continual basis. It is the goal of the
partnered agencies that the project be maintained as a long term initiative in order to
continually build on the early development work that has now largely been completed.
After years of program development, the partners determined that there was a need to clearly
define the terms and conditions for data collection, storage and sharing. A Memorandum of
Understanding was prepared to address these issues.
RATIONALE
The Memorandum of Understanding for the Collection, Maintenance, and Distribution of
Groundwater Data and Information is available from the website www.ypdt - camc.ca as Report
CAMC /YPDT #01 -2008, and includes the following key aspects:
• project and MOU objectives;
1186
• data collection, storage and maintenance;
• interpretation of data and maintenance of such information;
• distribution of data and interpreted information;
• liability and insurance; and
• term of agreement, amendments and termination.
This MOU reflects the outcome of a multi -year process that was initiated through the
YPDT -CAMC Technical Steering Committee and culminated with the dedicated work of a legal
team from the regional municipalities of Peel, York and Durham. It reflects the commitment of
the partner agencies to, as much as possible, share the data and information that has been
developed through the YPDT -CAMC Program.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The regional municipalities of Peel, York and Durham, and the City of Toronto have provided
annual financial support for this project since 1999.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose is to construct a replacement dwelling and privacy berm within a Regulated Area
of the Humber River Watershed. According to our mapping, the subject property is entirely
within the Humber River valley and a large portion of the property, including the existing
dwelling to be demolished, is within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. The Regional Storm Flood
Elevation of the property is approximately 174.63 metres above sea level (m.a.s.I.). The
proposed replacement dwelling has beenlocated outside of the flood plain with all openings at
a minimum 176.0 m.a.s.l. In addition, the proposed dwelling falls within the 50% floor area
increase provision for replacement homes under Valley and Stream Corridor Management
Program.
1208
The proposed privacy berm is located along Highway 27 and is outside of the Regional Storm
Flood Plain and therefore will not impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters.
The development area is mainly within an already disturbed area; however, the majority of the
vegetation that exists within this area fronting Humber Bridge Trail and Highway 27 will be
preserved. The proposal includes a planting plan composed of native, non - invasive species
plants.
Control of Flooding:
TRCA water resources staff are satisfied that the proposed replacement home and privacy
berm are located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain, there will be no impacts on the
storage or conveyance of flood waters. The existing home to be demolished is located within
the flood plain and the project will result in an improvement over existing conditions.
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained during the demolition of the existing
home and the construction of the replacement home and privacy berm to prevent sediment
from entering the adjacent watercourse.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical issues associated with this application.
Conservation of Land:
As a 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
The majority of the vegetation located near the area of disturbance will be preserved
and will be enhanced through the planting plan composed of native, non - invasive
species. All other areas will be restored to the existing sodded conditions and will not
affect any natural features.

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
Etobicoke Creek Watershed in order to facilitate the placement of approximately 2,200 cubic
metres of fill material in an agricultural field located at 14110 Kennedy Road, in the Town of
Caledon in order to improve the existing agricultural use of the land. The subject property is
located on the northwest corner of Kennedy Road and King Street. Recently, the TRCA
Executive Committee approved the placement of 9,000 cubic metres of fill in this location
(TRCA permit #C06 -240). Traditional farm practices (i.e., cash crops) occur on the subject
property and a and depression exists in the area to which fill placement is to occur. It is our
understanding that localized drainage from rain events and snow thaw continues to reduce
crop production within the.depression, although the previous fill placement has improved the
previous condition. The proposed additional fill placement works are necessary in order to
improve the drainage and increase crop production in order to increase agricultural viability on
the subject property. The area to which this application applies is located within the estimated
1211
Regional Floodplain. TRCA Water Resources staff confirmed that this area floods during a
Regional Storm event as a result of an undersized culvert beneath King Street, which creates a
backwater effect in the area to be filled. Although a loss of storage will occur, TRCA Water
Resources staff has confirmed that this section of the floodplain is within an ineffective flow area
and that flooding will not be exacerbated upstream and /or downstream of this site. The
depression is void of any significant vegetation or features and is located on the tableland
portion of the subject property, 120 metres from the nearest watercourse feature. As such, no
adverse ecological impacts are expected as a result of construction.
Control of Flooding:
As noted above, due to the flood characteristics in this area, TRCA Water Resources staff has
confirmed that no significant impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are
anticipated as a result of the proposed fill placement.
Pollution:
The proposed works are setback approximately 120 metres from the nearest watercourse
feature. In addition, vehicular access to the land depression will not require crossing of the
corridor feature. As such, it is anticipated that sediment will not reach the adjacent
watercourse. However, appropriate erosion and sediment controls (i.e., silt fence) have been
proposed with this application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical concerns anticipated with this proposal.
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
Compensatory planting is not required. The proposed fill placement is located within an
area that is actively farmed.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is in conformity with Section 4.2.2 (E) - Development and
Redevelopment /Intensification Within Non - Established Communities /Highly Urbanized Areas -
Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
1215
Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a single family dwelling and
attached garage at 3 Proctor Avenue, in the Town of Caledon. The subject property is located
within Mill Creek Estates, a subdivision that was registered prior to the subject lands being
designated Natural Core under the Oak Ridge Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP).
Additionally, the subdivision was approved prior to the Hockey Valley Wetland Complex, which
lies within and around the subdivision, being designated by the Province as a Provincially
Significant Wetland (PSW). Based upon current Provincial policy requirements, a subdivision of
this nature would not be permitted; however, as a registered plan of subdivision, the lots have
already been established and sold. As an existing lot of record, as prescribed by the ORMCP,
the proponent is required to demonstrate "to the extent possible that the use, erection, and
location will not adversely affect the ecological integrity of the Plan Area".
Please be advised that development proposals on some of the lots within this subdivision may
not meet the tests required for the issuance of a permit under the Conservation Authorities Act
and Ontario Regulation 166/06. TRCA staff are currently working with Town of Caledon and
Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) staff to establish a protocol for managing development
within this subdivision to ensure that the approval process fully considers both TRCA and Town
of Caledon requirements. Meanwhile, TRCA staff continue to receive permit applications and
Town of Caledon Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) Scoped Site Plan Applications for development
on the lots within this subdivision. For each application, TRCA staff are working with the
proponent and the Town of Caledon to minimize to the extent possible any anticipated impacts
of the development on this sensitive area.
The subject property is one of the less sensitive lots within this subdivision. While the proposed
works are located within 120 metres of a PSW (i.e., Hockley Valley PSW), the extent of the
proposed works area significant distance from the edge of the wetland. Its land is largely flat
and is characterized by meadow grasses and a few young coniferous trees. TRCA staff do not
anticipate any significant negative impacts to the wetland complex from the development, as
the area being disturbed by the development is limited to the front of the property furthest away
from the wetland boundary. No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of this
proposal. As such, there are no significant ecology - related concerns anticipated with this
proposal. Nevertheless, TRCA staff have worked along side the proponent and Town of
Caledon staff to incorporate low impact development (LID) practices into the site plan.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no impacts
to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated.
Pollution:
Appropriate sediment and erosion controls will be erected and maintained throughout all
phases of construction in accordance with TRCA guidelines.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical concerns related to this application.
1216
Conservation of Land:
The disturbance envelope is not within close proximity of the wetland and the area disturbed is
minimized with no ancillary structures, such as swimming pools. The area disturbed through
grading is minimized. Gradients and impervious surfaces were also minimized to encourage
water infiltration to occur within the boundaries of the lot. The owner will implement a state of
the art septic system to minimize any potential water quality impacts on the adjacent wetland.
There are no fisheries related concerns associated with the project. No significant vegetation
will be removed as a result of construction.
Plantings
Given that the lot is largely meadow and does not lie close to the forested boundary of
the adjacent wetland, the proponent was not required to develop a forest edge
management plan. Nevertheless, the owner has been encouraged to naturalize the rear
area of his lot closest to the wetland boundary with native species,, and not to encroach
within these areas in the post development period. As such, it is our expectation that
the proponent will provide an extensive enhancement planting plan as a component of
this application prior to the permit being issued.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development, of the
Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to permit the demolition and reconstruction of a single family
dwelling on the south shore of Preston Lake, within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River
watershed associated with a Provincially Significant Wetland community. In addition to a
replacement structure, the proposal also calls for the replacement of a faulty septic tank as part
of the lot redevelopment, which will likely improve groundwater quality by fixing a leak in the
existing septic tank. The building location will be stepped back higher up the slope, farther
from the water. The, new home will retain the original character and relative dimensions of the
demolished dwelling, will have few to no additional negative impacts to the surrounding
vegetation and natural features.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed dwelling is located beyond the limits of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. In
addition, the proposed dwelling is elevated farther away from the lake, and the existing elevated
wood deck will be replaced with an at- grade, stone patio. Therefore, the proposed design will
not affect the conveyance and storage of flood water.
Pollution:
As directed by TRCA staff, the applicant has included appropriate sediment control fencing
down -grade in order to capture any debris or silt runoff resulting from both the demolition work
and construction of the proposed structure.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
TRCA technical staff have determined that the proposed redevelopment will have minimal to no
effect on the stability of the slope. Because the proposed dwelling would be located over 10
metres from the stable top of bank and the slope has a gradient ratio of about 4H : 1V (which is
milder than the TRCA criterion for unstable slopes 3H : 1V), there are no geotechnical
objections to the proposed development.
Conservation of Land:
This redevelopment maintains current distances from surrounding Key Natural Heritage
Features (KNHF) including wetlands and marshes located along the shoreline of Preston Lake.
The distance between the septic tank and the Preston Lake KNHF has been increased. 5 trees
in the front yard will need to be removed in order to accommodate the septic tank, 4 of which
are non - native, and one native red maple in poor health. Adequate tree protection is displayed
for all lakefront vegetation, as well as vegetation located on adjacent properties and the
municipal right of way.
1218
Plantings
The transplanting of two non - native ornamentals is contemplated in the proponents
arborist report. As well, a total of 19 new native trees alongside approximately 200
native shrub and flower species are included in the proposed lot landscaping.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2.(D) - Development Guidelines for Replacement
Structures of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Proposal:
The applicant is requesting permission to strip topsoil, initiate earthworks and interim servicing
associated with a proposed residential plan of subdivision located directly west of Clarkway
Drive, south of Castlemore Road, in the City of Brampton. This application is within the Bram
East Area 'F' Block Plan Area, for which the City of Brampton has recently provided
development allotment, and subdivision draft approvals. Six previous permit applications were
brought forward to, and approved by the Executive Committee at the November 7, 2008
meeting for similar works on other properties within this block plan area. This application is one
of three within this block plan area that are presently before the Executive Committee for topsoil
stripping, earthworks and initial servicing.
The property is traversed by the Clarkway Tributary of the Humber River. Adjacent tableland
areas - which are to be developed as part of the proposed residential subdivision - are
Regulated by the TRCA. This permit is to allow for grading and initial servicing works (to include
temporary stormwater management measures) within the Regulated tableland areas, as well as
initial stormwater servicing works within the valley corridor. As only small portions of the subject
property are Regulated by the TRCA, grading works are presently underway on portions of the
property that are not Regulated by the TRCA.
The works proposed under this permit constitute the first phase of works, and the first of several
permits that will be required for works on the subject property. Additional permits will be
brought forward to a future Executive Committee meeting for permanent stormwater
management works within this Block Plan area, as well as proposed cut and fill works, once the
outstanding comments and concerns of TRCA staff have been adequately addressed.
1221
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.

• Letter of Undertaking, prepared by D. Horgan, Candevcon Ltd., dated December 8,
2008, to address all outstanding TRCA engineering and ecology related issues.
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
Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of the proposed Cottrelle
Boulevard bridge over the Clarkway Tributary of The West Humber River. The proposed
development is located within the planning boundaries of the Edenfield Developments
Incorporated residential subdivision (City File No. 21T-06023B / TRCA File No. CFN 38760) and
the Bram East Area 'A' Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP).
The proposed road is designated by the City of Brampton as a minor arterial road, which is
currently being constructed on adjacent lands. The road has been constructed to the east and
west of the Clarkway Tributary valley corridor. The right -of -way has been conveyed to the City
of Brampton, except for a small area of the right -of -way, which is still in the ownership of
Edenfield Developments Incorporated. A Class Environmental Assessment (EA - Schedule C)
(TRCA File No. CFN 29551) has been approved for Cottrelle Boulevard between McVean Drive
and Regional Road 50.
As a component of this project, a fluvial geomorphology assessment study has been submitted
to the TRCA for review. Through the crossing location, the tributary appears to have been
historically straightened. The active channel width is approximately 5 metres (maximum). The
proposed bridge structure has been designed to comply with the proposed span
recommendations of the report, and provides a 25 metre span. The proposed bridge has been
designed to accommodate the Regional Storm event without over - topping the road. As well,
the future upstream Regional Storm Flood elevations will not be adversely impacts as a result of
development.
Construction of the bridge will take place during low flow conditions. It is our understanding
that no in -water works are anticipated as a result of construction. Additionally, all near water
works will be conducted during the warm water fisheries timing window of July 1 to March 31 of
any given year. As part of the permit, a Letter of Advice (LOA) will be issued on behalf of
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).
The proposed construction has taken into account the ecological conditions of this area.
Riparian planting is to be established through the extent of the corridor in this area. The
riparian habitat will consist of native and non - invasive plant species, 50% of which will be
woody plants. Given the historical straightening to this reach of the Clarkway Tributary, it is our
opinion that the proposed enhancement planting plan achieves an ecological net gain for this
area of the Humber River Watershed.
1223
Control of Flooding:
The proponent has updated TRCA's current hydraulic model, which incorporates the proposed
bridge crossing. TRCA Water Resources staff have confirmed that the proposed structure will
accommodate the Regional Storm event without over - topping the road. Additionally, the future
upstream Regional Storm Flood water level will not be adversely impacted. Lastly, no impacts
to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated.
Pollution:
Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed prior to construction and maintained
throughout all phases of construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
A geotechnical /slope stability report has been submitted with this application. Based on our
review, TRCA staff concur with the report findings. 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. All disturbed areas will be
restored with native species. An extensive enhancement planting plan has been provided with
this proposal and will improve the riparian function for this reach of the Humber River
Watershed. Although there are no fisheries concerns related to this project, a LOA will be
issued on behalf of DFO with this permit.
Plantings
All proposed plantings are native and non - invasive consistent with TRCA's guidelines.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposed works are in conformity with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the
Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

Proposal:
The purpose of this project is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber
River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of the proposed Cottrelle Boulevard
bridge over The Main Branch of The West Humber River. The proposed development is
located within the planning boundaries of the Port Mark Investments Limited subdivision (City
File No. 21T-05039/TRCA File No. CFN 37178) and the larger Bram East Area 'D' Master
Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP).
1228
Cottrelle Boulevard, which is designated as a minor arterial road, is being constructed in
phases as the adjacent lands are being developed. The road has already been constructed to
the east and west of the Port Mark Investments Limited subdivision. A Class Environmental
Assessment (EA - Schedule C) (TRCA File No. CFN 29551) was previously completed for
Cottrelle Boulevard between McVean Drive and Regional Road 50. The EA study determined
the preferred alignment for Cottrelle Boulevard and recommended a two (2) span structure at
30 metres each for the crossing of The Main Branch of The West Humber River. The actual
proposal involves two (2) span structures of 35 metres.
As part of the Port Mark Investments Limited planning approval process, slope stability,
geotechnical, fluvial geomorphic and hazard assessment studies were completed along The
Main Branch of The West Humber River in order to determine the required setbacks for slope
stability and long -term erosion for the proposed development. Accordingly, the bridge has
been designed based on the recommendations of the above noted reports. The proposed
bridge structure has been designed to accommodate the Regional Storm event without
over - topping the road. It is also confirmed that the future upstream Regional Storm Flood water
levels (with the bridge in place) will not be adversely impacted and will not impact future
residential development in this area.
Construction of the bridge foundations will be carried out during low flow conditions. No
in -water works are anticipated as a result of construction. Additionally, all near water works will
be conducted within the warm water fisheries timing window of July 1 to March 31 of any given
year. Although there are no fisheries related concerns associated with this proposal, a Letter of
Advice (LOA) on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be issued with this permit.
The proposed crossing alignment has taken into account the existing ecological form and
function for this reach of the Humber River Watershed. As part of this project, an extensive
enhancement planting plan has been incorporated into the design. The key objective of the
proposed plantings is to improve the riparian function of the valley corridor and provide
additional riparian habitat. It is our opinion that the proposed plantings will improve the
ecological condition for this area, thereby achieving an ecological net gain for this reach of the
Humber River Watershed.
Control of Flooding:
The proponent has updated TRCA's current hydraulic model, incorporating the proposed
bridge structure. Based on our review of the hydraulic update, TRCA Water Resources staff
has confirms that the proposed bridge structure will accommodate the Regional Storm event
without over - topping of the road. As well, the future upstream Regional Storm Flood water level
will not be adversely impacted. As such, no impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood
waters is anticipated.
Pollution:
Appropriate erosion and sediment controls have been incorporated into the design of this
project, and will be installed and maintained throughout all phases of construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
1229
Erosion:
Based on our review of several engineering reports provided with this application, there are no

Proposal:
The purpose is to conduct site grading and construct a commercial retail plaza within a
Regulated Area of the Don River Watershed. According to our mapping, the proposal is partially
located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain; however, through the associated Master
Environmental Servicing Plan for Block 19 it was confirmed the site is outside of the flood plain.
The subject site is located on the north side of Major Mackenzie Drive and west of Dufferin
Street.
As part of the associated Site Plan Application (Application No. DA.08.055 - York Major
Holdings Inc.), TRCA staff conducted a site visit on September 24, 2008. The subject property
contains a low berm along the edge of the valley system and part of the valley wall contains an
existing retaining wall with a maximum height of approximately 1.5 metres.
As part of the proposed works, a landscaped 5 metre buffer has been provided from the top of
the low berm inland, in addition, the valley wall is also to be vegetated. In order to ensure
adequate drainage and irrigation of the proposed vegetated valley wall and buffer area, the
grades along the inland side of the berm have been raised to remove the berm and create a
gentle overland flow pattern into the valley system.
Control of Flooding:
TRCA water resources staff are satisfied that the proposed works are located outside of the
Regional Storm Flood Plain. There will be no impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood
waters.
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing will be erected along the top of the existing berm to prevent the
transport of sediment into the valley system.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical issues associated with the application.

Proposal:
This proposed stormwater management pond, known as Box Grove Pond 5, will service a draft
approved plan of subdivision within the Box Grove Secondary Plan area in the southeastern
portion of the Town of Markham's urban area. The applicant seeks permission to undertake
site grading, permanently place fill material within a Regulated Area and alter a watercourse in
order to construct the stormwater management pond. The proposed pond is to drain to a
watercourse known as 'Tributary B.' This watercourse is tributary to the Little Rouge Creek and
has been protected from development as part of the Box Grove secondary planning process.
The proposed pond design contains a naturalized outfall and emergency spillway, which
connect to the watercourse.
Control of Flooding:
Flood plain elevations up to the Regional Storm elevation associated with Tributary B are to be
accommodated within the pond area, as described in the Environmental Master Drainage Plan
for the Box Grove community. As a result, the majority of the pond is located within the
Regional Storm Flood Plain. The pond has been designed to safely convey flood flows and will
provide for the detention and release of storm waters in line with criteria established by TRCA
and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.
Pollution:
A sediment and erosion control plan will be implemented and maintained for the duration of
construction so that sedimentation of the tributary will be prevented.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
The stormwater management pond has been designed to detain stormwater run -off within the
plan of subdivision in order to increase erosion within the watercourse.
Conservation of Land:
During construction of the outfall channel, some in -water works may be required. Appropriate
staging measures including coffer dams and pumping are contained on the engineering plans
for the in -water works. There are no natural heritage features where the pond and outfall are
proposed. Staff will issue a Letter of Advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO)
with this permit, as DFO Authorization pursuant to the Fisheries Act(Canada) was not required.
All disturbed areas are to be stabilized following construction.
Plantings
Following construction, all disturbed areas are to be restored and enhanced with native
plantings in accordance with a landscape plan that has been reviewed by staff as part of
this permit.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The Town of Markham has undertaken a study called the Markham Erosion Restoration
Implementation Plan, June 2007. The study was carried out under the Municipal Class
Environmental Assessment planning process. The purpose of this study was to identify priority
erosion restoration sites along the watercourses within the Town of Markham which may pose a
risk to public health and safety, and to develop a restoration plan to address these erosion sites
on a site specific basis. TRCA has been involved and provided input in the review of this plan.
This proposal is identified in the plan as Site #2, and is being undertaken in order to facilitate
the remediation of eroding creek banks. The works will include removal of an exposed
manhole with a 2 metre long Corrugated Steel Pipe (CSP) outlet which is located within the
watercourse. The structure was an overflow outlet on the inlet side of the sewage treatment
plant that was formerly situated on vacant land on the east side of the creek. The structure was
abandoned and left within the watercourse when the plant was decommissioned. The proposal
also includes the strengthening of an existing storm sewer outlet with a combination of large
diameter boulders and river stones to prevent further erosion and the implementation of
vegetated 3:1 banks.
1242
Control of Flooding:
The storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be impacted by the proposed works.
Pollution:
Standard erosion and sediment control measures (sediment fencing and rock check dam) will
be implemented prior to construction and maintained for the duration of construction, and until
the site is stabilized and restored, in order to prevent construction generated sediments from
entering any watercourse or wetland. Erosion and sediment control measures have been
provided in accordance with the TRCA Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban
Construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
The proposal is to conduct instream works to stabilize a channel. Staff has reviewed the

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose is to construct a replacement dwelling, new and replacement retaining walls, a
replacement septic system and a gazebo within a Regulated Area of the Humber River
Watershed. According to our mapping, the majority of the subject property is within the valley
system with a portion of the rear yard located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Based
upon a site visit conducted by TRCA staff on November 3, 2008, the proposed development
area contains a portion of table land that is terraced approximately 1.5 metres above the
primary table land. Existing retaining walls along the edge upper table land area are to be
reconfigured and replaced to accommodate the new dwelling.
Based upon the site visit and Site Plan drawings provided by the applicant, the proposed
replacement home is located approximately 12 metres away from the primary existing top of
bank. The existing home is located approximately 7 metres from this same primary existing top
of bank. As such, the proposed dwelling does not encroach further towards the top of bank
than the current development footprint. However, the proposed cabana is to be located
approximately 5.5 metres from the primary top of bank. Based upon a Geotechnical Report •
prepared by McClymont & Rak Engineers Inc., dated November 2008 and the site visit, TRCA
geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed cabana and replacement dwelling are
sufficiently setback from the top of bank and will not affect the stability of the slope.
1245
The proposed dwelling falls within the 50% floor are increase provision for replacement homes
under Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.
Due to site constraints, the replacement septic bed is required to be located within an already
disturbed area of the valley. As the septic bed is to be seeded with native, non - invasive species
of grasses, TRCA ecology staff are satisfied that there will be no impact on the ecological
integrity of the valley. In addition, vegetation along the line running from the septic tank located
on the table land to the septic bed in the valley will be protected during construction through
the erection of temporary fencing.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. There will be no
impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Sediment control fencing will be erected and maintained for the duration of construction to
prevent the transport of sediment into the valley system.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed works will not have an adverse impact
on the stability of the valley wall.
Conservation of Land:
As a 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
All trees to be removed will be replaced at a 3:1 ratio with native trees. The area
disturbed for the installation of the septic bed will be seeded with a native, non - invasive
seed mix. All other disturbed areas will be restored to their existing sodded condition.

RES. #B164/08 - ARCHETYPE SUSTAINABLE HOUSE
Electrical Work. Award of contract to an electrical contractor.
Moved by:
Seconded by:
Suzan Hall
Maja Prentice
THAT the post -blitz build contract for the supply and installation of all electrical work for
the Archetype Sustainable House "A" and "B" be awarded to Bolton Electric Company
Incorporated (BECI) for a cost not to exceed $95,000 plus applicable taxes.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) Archetype Sustainable House project
began with a national competition conducted in partnership with The Design Exchange. The
intent of the competition was to engage architects, engineers and graduate students from
across Canada to design a mass production green home for new community development.
The winning design chosen on June 21, 2006, submitted by Building Blocks, was selected from
17 entries by a blue ribbon panel of judges. A comprehensive report was provided with each
design submission, with final design drawings and specifications to be generated by the
winning team prior to construction.
The winning design is currently being built at The Living City Campus at Kortright, at the
entrance to the Power Trip Trail. The Power Trip Trail is an interactive renewable energy
learning exhibition. The Archetype Sustainable House project will serve as the primary energy
conservation education facility for workshop participants and as a model to help monitor and
verify the effectiveness of materials, systems and technologies.
1256
TRCA has entered into a partnership with Building Industry and Land Development Association
(BILD) to build the Archetype Sustainable House at The Living City Campus at Kortright. BILD
members have agreed to work with TRCA to get most of the materials and labour donated to
build the house. Some materials and labour are a 100% donation while some are discounted.
Although the Archetype Sustainable House project construction was initiated with a blitz -build
approach in July 2008, the complexity of the project design has extended the project into
December 2008.
RATIONALE
Based on BECI's familiarity with the ongoing project, the extensive electrical work to be done
on an ongoing basis and no other in -kind electrical labour to be found - the extension of an
existing contract proves most beneficial for efficient completion of the Archetype House
construction. Staff is therefore recommending the contract be awarded on a sole source basis
as per Section 1.14.3 - When the extension or reinstatement of an existing contract would prove
most cost - effective or beneficial. Further, BECI agreed to donate $5,000.00 in labour towards
the Archetype Sustainable House project and was present on -site during the blitz build period
in July 2008. BECI agreed to complete all electrical work associated with the project and
provided a quotation for hourly service rates.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funds are available from the Archetype Sustainable House budget.

BACKGROUND
Black Creek Pioneer Village (BCPV) staff was approached in September 2008 by the owner of
Oakville, Ontario -based Trafalgar Ales and Meads with a proposal to build and operate a
historic brewery at BCPV. The small brewing operation, proposed to be located in the
basement of the Halfway House Inn, will replicate the brewing process that was common in this
area in the mid- 1800s, and would produce beer following recipes and methods used in more
than 300 commercial breweries and countless private brewing operations across the Province
of Ontario. The fact that the history of brewing in Ontario is as relevant and prevalent as any
other topic related to Ontario rural living in the 1860s makes this brewery an appropriate
addition to Black Creek Pioneer Village.
Trafalgar Ales and Meads is a unique craft brewery in Ontario in that it specializes in brewing
small batches of beer, including historic beers. It has received acclaim for its beer formulations,
including five (5) awards at the Ontario Brewing Awards in 2007. In its proposal to TRCA,
Trafalgar Ales and Meads is offering to fulfill all regulatory requirements for the manufacture of
beer (licensing, auditing, etc.), operate the brewery three days a week, participate in
presentations for public tours, and brew Black Creek - branded beer in its commercial brewing
facility for sale at the LCBO. TRCA will provide the space and amenities, license the Black
Creek trademark for off site beer sale, organize and staff tours, interpretation, and on -site beer
and merchandise sales, and market the brewery.
Accompanying the brewery, a beer museum will also be created in the Halfway House Inn.
This museum will highlight the history of brewing in Ontario. From the first known brew
"Mead ", to 1860s Ales & Porters, to the current day beer, TRCA staff and Trafalgar Ales and
Meads on -site brewers will be experts in sharing this history. All this will help create a rich,
multifaceted visitor experience.
This brewery will also be highlighted as a link to sustainability, then and now. Pioneer
breweries made do with the raw materials and equipment available. The barley and hops were
grown in local fields, the equipment was built in the local village shops, and the waste streams
were used for animal feed and compost. Little was wasted. The environmental footprint of these
breweries was small. Demonstrating this supports TRCA's mission and Black Creek Pioneer
Village's programming related to agriculture, sustainability and the promotion of buying locally
produced food and drink.
1261
Trafalgar Ales and Meads sees particular benefits in developing a historic brewery at Black
Creek Pioneer Village. In addition to BCPV's historic context, BCPV can integrate the entire
brewing process from growing the raw materials (hops and barley), to processing them (milling
the malted barley) to serving the final product. Furthermore Black Creek Pioneer Village has a
fully functioning food service department that can enhance the visitor experience.
RATIONALE
A historic brewery in the Half Way House Inn at Black Creek Pioneer Village, offers a wide range
of benefits to TRCA. Touching almost every element of BCPV's operation (programming,
interpretation, collections, food services, corporate sales, etc.), the brewery will:
• provide several new revenue streams;
• deliver new, previously unengaged audiences to Black Creek Pioneer Village;
• create a visitor experience unique in Canada (it will be the only operating historic,
brewery in Canada);
• leverage and strengthen Black Creek Pioneer Village's existing brand;
• offer revenue - generating marketing outreach through the distribution and sale of Black
Creek branded product (beer);
• leverage a currently underutilized income earning asset - the Half Way House
Restaurant;
• integrate other parts of BCPV to create a rich, multifaceted visitor experience;
• offer opportunities to showcase self- sufficient, sustainable food production.
Trafalgar Ales and Meads is the only micro - brewery in Ontario that specializes in small batch
brewing (1 OOL or less) of experimental and historic brews, coupled with the capacity for
commercial -scale brewing for LCBO distribution. It is the only brewery in Ontario, possessing
special knowledge, skills and experience in the kind of brewing typical of 19th century rural
Ontario that will be showcased at Black Creek Pioneer Village. As a result, staff is
recommending approval as per section 1.14.5 of the TRCA Purchasing Policy as follows:
The required goods and services are to be supplied by a particular vendor or supplier
having special knowledge, skills, expertise or experience that cannot be provided by
another supplier.
As one of Ontario's oldest operating craft breweries, Trafalgar Ales and Meads also brings a
long- standing relationship with the Canadian Brewrianists Society, collectors of beer
memorabilia. Through this relationship, the brewery will facilitate the provision of artifacts,
photos and other items to develop the beer museum that will accompany the brewery.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
In addition to the $92,000 upset limit annual operating fee outlined in the contract agreement, it
is anticipated that there will be a one time cost of $30,000 to retrofit the Half Way House Inn and
an annual cost of $50,000 for marketing.
All funding will be made available through internal reallocation of Black Creek Pioneer Village
operating budgets. These will be offset by cultural grants and revenue generation.
1262
Forecasted revenues from the brewery will result in a first -year net loss of $9,000 owing to the
start-up investment costs. Every year following, it is conservatively forecasted to generate a net
revenue from $32,000 in the second year and growing to $52,000 in the seventh year.

THAT the report on Information Technology Disaster Prevention and Recovery Plan, dated
December 2, 2008, be received.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #3/07, held on April 27, 2007, Resolution #A90/07 was approved, in part,
as follows:
...AND FURTHER THAT staff report to the Business Excellence Advisory Board in 2008 on
the implementation of the plan and on any updates which may be required to keep the
plan current and effective.
As a result of the change in the governance model for the Authority, the report is being made to
the Executive Committee.
RATIONALE
The Information Technology (IT) Disaster Prevention and Recovery Plan prepared in March,
2007, included a number of items for implementation.
Actions Required as detailed in Plan
1. Implementation of Downsview Disaster Recovery Centre:
a. LAN extension from Head Office to Downsview Office;
i) 10 MB circuit to facilitate high volume data transfer - May 2007;
b. replacement Novell file server - Downsview server;
i) hardware /software purchase and install - April 2007;
c. Lotus Notes /Domino email and applications replica server;
1263
i) hardware /software purchase and install - June 2007;
ii) replication configuration and testing - June 2007;
d. Windows back -up server;
i) licensing /software purchase and install - June 2007.
This follow -up report addresses the required actions as detailed in the IT Disaster Prevention
and Recovery Plan. It also provides information pertaining to additional activities undertaken to
improve or address Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) IT response
mechanisms in the event of a disaster.
LAN Extension from Head Office to Downsview Office
TRCA acquired a new high capacity circuit to be used for high volume data transfer between
Head Office and the Downsview Office. The circuit is a fibre connection with capacity of 10
Mbit /sec bandwidth. This connection serves TRCA in facilitating much improved data transfer
between the two offices. Higher capacity connectivity between Head Office and Downsview
Office has allowed IT to implement one of the key recommendations of the Disaster Plan which
is redundancy at the Downsview Office to be used as a Disaster Recovery Centre.
Replacement Novell File Server - Downsview Server
IT Staff has purchased and deployed a new and much larger capacity Novell file server for the
Downsview Office. This server not only provides much needed file storage capacity for
Downsview Office staff but also provides adequate capacity to 'restore' user files and data for
key staff from any other office location should a disaster make the files usually stored on their
local network server unavailable. In summary, should another office location such as Head
Office, Eastville, Boyd Centre, etc. experience an event which made either the workplace
unavailable, or destroyed the file server at that location, the server at the Downsview Office
could be used to restore the data lost and have it available to displaced staff. This could be
done for an entire office location such as Eastville, Boyd Centre, Kortright Centre or for a large
number of key staff in the case of the Head Office.
Lotus Notes / Domino email and applications replica server
A new Lotus Notes / Domino server has been purchased and deployed for the Downsview
Office. This server has been setup as a replica server. A replica server in this type of
configuration acts as an exact 'copy' of the Notes /Domino Server at the Head Office. Once the
replica has been established the software automatically monitors any changes between the two
servers and ensures that any changes in data which have occurred on either server are
reflected in the replica. Therefore, in the event of a disaster at any TRCA office location
including the Head Office, it is assured that an exact copy of the server contents exist at the
Downsview location.
Having this replica also greatly improves the efficiency of bandwidth utilization between the two
office locations. Previously,.staff at Downsview Office had to access all Lotus Notes /Domino
email and business applications over the network connection between the two offices. Now the
users at Downsview Office access their email and Lotus Notes business application databases
locally on their replica server, thus consuming far less bandwidth than before and greatly
improving access speed and capability.
1264
Windows Back -up Server
A separate back -up server for Downsview Office was determined to be unnecessary to provide
reliable back -up for that location. Tape back -up hardware and software which functions on the
existing Novell file server was acquired and installed. This configuration reduces the complexity
of having an additional back -up server at this location as well as reduces initial capital and
future replacement costs associated with the additional hardware and software.
Additional Activities Undertaken Supporting TRCA's Disaster Prevention and Recovery
Plan
Purchase of new large capacity, high speed tape library for Head Office
Tape back -up is essential in providing a safe and secure method for securing server data in an
archival format. However, with ever increasing amounts of data storage, the capacity of the tape
library TRCA was utilizing had reached it physical limits. Back -up speed is also a serious
consideration. TRCA full back -up (which runs over the weekend) was taking approximately 36
to 48 hours to complete. IT staff found that on some occasions the back -up was still running on
Monday morning and had to be aborted before general staff began accessing the network in
large numbers.
To address this situation IT staff purchased a new tape library with much more storage capacity
and which is approximately four times faster. Currently, the Head Office central computer
facility backs -up over one Terabyte of data on any given full back -up. This tape library and
associated back -up software backs -up 10 file and application servers including, Accounting,
Payroll, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Laserfiche, Lotus Notes, Novell, etc..
Setup and deployment of Novell Virtual Private Network (VPN)
A virtual private network (VPN) allows for secure, remote access to the TRCA computer network
via the internet. The VPN uses encryption technology to ensure secure connectivity to the
TRCA network over the internet. This technology will allow staff to get access to the TRCA
network from anywhere in the world if an internet connection is available. This technology is not
only very useful in supporting sustainable initiatives such as telecommuting and access from
home, but would be a critical resource in the event of a disaster where physical access to the
Head Office would be impossible.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff continue to update IT equipment and software as necessary to ensure that plans are in
place to protect TRCA information systems and data.

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #6/01, held on July 27, 2001, under Resolution #A139/01, the Authority
directed staff to enter into a lease of certain lands within the Kortright Centre for Conservation,
City of Vaughan, with The Earth Rangers Foundation for the construction and operation of a
wildlife veterinary and rehabilitation centre. The lease was signed on August 1, 2001. At
Authority Meeting #6/02, held on June 21, 2002, under Resolution #A153/02, the Authority
approved the building, site plan and trail plan associated with the Earth Ranger Centre (ERC).
The Earth Rangers Foundation completed the construction of the ERC and veterinarian
residence in 2004 and began operations. The ERC building is a landmark in Canada for energy
efficiency and has been recognized for outstanding leadership and design related to
sustainable energy practices. In May of 2006, the Earth Rangers Centre received a Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold designation from the Canada Green Building
Council.
The Earth Rangers mission is to inspire children with a lasting passion to build a better future.
In order to achieve this they are focusing on three areas: school programs featuring Animal
Ambassadors (features non - releasable animals), outdoor leadership camps and environmental
technologies at the ERC.
In the Fall of 2006, The Earth Rangers Foundation decided to transfer their wildlife hospital to
the Toronto Wildlife Centre and focus the ERC programs on living responsibly and transforming
the ERC into a showcase for sustainable technologies and practices. The ERC will continue to
house their Animal Ambassadors and provide educational opportunities.
•At Authority Meeting #1/07, held on February 23, 2007, under Resolution #A17/07, staff was
directed to submit a bid to the World Green Building Council to develop and support a
Secretariat to be located in The Living City Campus at Kortright. TRCA's bid was successful.
As part of the efforts to transform the ERC, The Earth Rangers Foundation agreed to lease
approximately 4,200 square feet of the ERC to the World Green Building Council, to support a
Secretariat.
Earth Rangers programming has grown to the point where their parking is no longer adequate
and TRCA is in receipt of a request to increase the size of their parking lot. As a result, it is
proposed that 2,949 square metres be added to their current leased area. In exchange, Earth
Rangers is prepared to remove 3,907 square metres from the leased area as shown on the
attached sketch.
The parking lot will be enhanced with a ground source heat pump loop, four 10kw solar
photovoltaic trackers and the surface will be permeable pavers. The design will minimize tree
and earth removal. A tree relocation and replacement plan will be prepared to the satisfaction
of TRCA.
The Humber Watershed Alliance, at its meeting held on October 21, 2008, adopted resolution
#G45/08 as follows supporting the proposed parking lot expansion:
1269
THAT the Humber Watershed Alliance members support the proposal by Mr. Schad to
expand the parking facility at Earth Rangers, in a northerly direction, by 1,500 square
metres in exchange for 4,500 square metres of TRCA land which will be removed from
the existing lease agreement;
THAT solar panels be installed in the parking lot to generate education opportunities and
energy which will be used in the Earth Rangers facility;
THAT permeable pavement be used in the parking lot as a preferred sustainable building
practice;
THAT replanting and landscaping be undertaken in all disturbed areas to the satisfaction
of TRCA;
AND FURTHER THAT the expansion of geothermal heating at the facility be endorsed to
further reduce heating and cooling costs.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Earth Rangers is responsible for all costs related to amending the leased area and for all the
construction, planting compensation and maintenance costs related to the expanded parking
lot. All terms and conditions of the 2001 lease, including rent, remain unchanged.

Jack Heath
Reenga Mathivanan
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS the Town of
Whitchurch - Stouffville has requested an additional extension to the lease for soccer fields
within the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area, south of Stouffville Sideroad and east of
Warden Avenue;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the lease with the Town of
Whitchurch - Stouffville for soccer fields at Bruce's Mill Conservation Area be extended
until December 31, 2010;
AND FURTHER THAT authorized officials be directed to take whatever action is necessary
to finalize the lease extension, including the obtaining of any approvals and signing and
execution of documents.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #2/07, held on March 30, 2007, Resolution #A46/07 was approved as
follows:
THAT WHEREAS the Town of Whitchurch- Stouffville has requested an additional
extension to the lease for soccer fields within the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area, south
of Stouffville Sideroad and east of Warden Avenue;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the existing lease be extended for an additional
2 year period;
AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action is necessary to finalize the
transaction, including the obtaining of any approvals and signing and execution of
documents.
In 2001, TRCA entered into a lease for a three year period with the Town of
Whitchurch - Stouffville for the use of a parcel of land in the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area for
four mini - soccer fields. In 2003 the lease was extended for an additional 3 year period and in
2007 the lease was extended for an additional 2 years.
1272
The master plan for Bruce's Mill Conservation Area was initiated in 2004 and it is anticipated
that it will be completed early this year. The soccer fields are located in an area that has been
designated as a public use zone in the draft master plan. The public use management zone
allows for recreational and educational uses, facilities or services and may accommodate low,
moderate or high intensity public use. Through the Public Use and Recreation Plan component
of the draft master plan, the site is further designated to be used as an active, nature -based
recreation area. The intent is to use these open fields on the west side of the property for an
active recreational use, such as a campground, equestrian facility, bike facility, etc.. No specific
opportunity or use has yet been specified. Given that the eventual plan for this area is
conversion to a larger, active use area, staff is recommending that the period of the extension
be kept to a minimum. Town of Whitchurch - Stouffville staff has requested an extension until
December 31, 2010.
A map showing the lands subject to this proposal is attached.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The lease rate for 2008 was $6,300. Staff is proposing a lease rate of $6,500 for the first year of
the extension and $6,700 for the second year.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The Town of Markham has undertaken a study called the Markham Erosion Restoration
Implementation Plan, June 2007. The study was carried out under the Municipal Class
Environmental Assessment planning process. The purpose of this study was to identify priority
erosion restoration sites along the watercourses within the Town of Markham which may pose a
risk to public health and safety, and to develop a restoration plan to address these erosion sites
on a site specific basis. TRCA has been involved and provided input in the review of this plan.
This proposal is identified in the plan as Site No. 1. The proposed works at this site will involve
bank stabilization and corridor revegetation. The eroding portions of the bank will be regarded
and stabilized to decelerate bank erosion and prevent excess release of sediment into the
watercourse. The restored banks will be revegetated as part of the overall restoration approach
which will increase the riparian cover through this reach of the system.
Control of Flooding:
The storage or conveyance of floodwaters will not be impacted by the proposed works.
Pollution:
Standard erosion control measures (silt /sediment fencing, cofferdam, dam and pump, silt
control filter) 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:
The proposal is to conduct instream works to stabilize a channel. Staff has reviewed the
proposal and has no channel stability concerns with the proposed works.
1317
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 provided by
TRCA staff on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (FOC). This application is
subject to the warmwater fisheries timing window, all works to be completed from July 1 to
March 31.
Plantings
All disturbed areas will be restored with native non - invasive species following
construction. This project will result in a net gain of vegetation along the study area.

To interfere with a wetland on Lot 35, Concession 8 Lot 35, Plan 65R -7909,
(Ninth Line and Hoover Park Drive), in the Town of Whitchurch - Stouffville, Rouge
River Watershed as located on the property owned by Mattamy (Hoover Park)
Ltd..
The purpose is to construct a catch basin at the edge of a wetland in order to eliminate the
potential for rear yard flooding along adjacent residences.
The permit will be issued for the period of January 16, 2009 to January 15, 2011.
• Drawing No. 404, Hoover Park Drive (STA.2 +793.02 TO STA.3 +069.40), prepared by
Stantec Consulting Ltd., dated October 2004, Revision No. 8, revised on January 7,
2009, received by TRCA on January 9, 2009.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The applicant seeks permission to interfere with a wetland in order to construct a single catch
basin at the edge of a Locally Significant wetland. The works are proposed on the north side of
Hoover Park Drive within the recently constructed Wheler's Mill residential neighbourhood.
1318
The wetland in question is surrounded to the north and west by the rear yards of residential
town homes and to the east and south by the Ninth Line and Hoover Park Drive, respectively.
Urbanization in this area was initially approved by the Town of Whitchurch - Stouffville by the
Community of Stouffville Secondary Plan (1997) and the Southwest Functional Servicing Study
(2003). Both the secondary plan and functional servicing study required that the wetland area
be set aside and protected from development although minimal environmental buffers were
provided adjacent to the wetland area.
During recent spring snow melt conditions, water levels within the wetland area have risen to, or
in some cases, above the rear lot lines of the adjacent residences. Due to grading conditions,
the wetland is low lying while the surrounding areas have been raised. In order to ensure that
spring melt conditions do not flood the rear yards, the Town of Whitchurch- Stouffville has
directed the developer to rectify this situation prior to assumption of the draft plan by the Town.
A single catch basin is proposed at an elevation below the rear lot lines to ensure that the water
level within the wetland can not flood adjacent residential properties. The catch basin is to
drain to the existing storm sewer system at Hoover Park Drive.
Control of Flooding:
While the lands in question are not subject to riverine flooding and are not located within the
Regional Storm Flood Plain, the proposal will minimize the possibility of localized nuisance
flooding from the wetland.
Pollution:
Sediment and erosion control fencing is to be established prior to works taking place to
delineate the area of disturbance required for construction of the catch basin and to ensure that
sediment is not transported into the wetland area.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There are no slope stability or erosion concerns with this proposal.
Conservation of Land:
The catch basin has been sited to the periphery of the wetland along the northern side slope of
the Hoover Park Drive road platform. As it is a single catch basin, it will require minimal
disturbance to the wetland community. The elevation of the catch basin opening will permit the
seasonal fluctuation of water levels within the wetland and will not drain the wetland unless
water levels have risen to an elevation that will cause flooding on adjacent residential
properties.
Plantings
Due to the small scale of the project and the maintenance of existing wetland vegetation
during construction, no plantings were required to support the application.
Policy Guidelines:
The application is consistent with Section 2.1.3 of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2005.

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) policy on travel requires Executive
Committee approval for staff travel outside of Canada on TRCA business. Members have
requested that a report on the results of conferences attended be made to Executive
Committee.
RATIONALE
BCPV embarked on digitizing major components of its historic artifacts collection in 2007.
BCPV has received grants totalling $89,700 from the Department of Canadian Heritage (DCH)
for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of a project called Capturing the Past for the Future: Digitization of
Black Creek Pioneer Village Collection. This funding has enabled BCPV to acquire specialized
photographic and computer equipment and hire project staff to create an on -line database of
5,000 items in the collection, including detailed digital images and documentation. This project
facilitates access to the collection for the public, staff and researchers worldwide, and enables
BCPV to create on -line exhibits.
Since 1990 BCPV has used a DOS -based artifact database management system to manage a
collection of 50,000 artifacts and accompanying information records. This system has reached
end of life and local technical support will not be available beyond 2010. BCPV has researched
and reviewed its needs, consulted with other museums and the Department of Canadian
Heritage, and selected PastPerfect as the new software required. PastPerfect will
accommodate all collections, digitization and facilitate transfer of curatorial data to fellow
institutions for such purposes as inter - museum loans, unit cataloguing, sharing support records
and inter - museum travelling exhibit planning. 6,400 clients in the United States and 187
institutions in Canada use this system.
Acquisition of new software and migration of the collection to the new system is a component
of BCPV's Phase 3 grant application to DCH for funding in F/Y 2009/10. On December 16, 2008
BCPV staff was contacted by Department of Canadian Heritage grant staff. They advised that
funds for the upcoming April grant run are seriously limited, and there was little likelihood that
our full request would be approved. However, DCH has a small amount of funding from fiscal
year 2008/2009 available to extend current projects. Recognizing the critical need for BCPV to
acquire new software, DCH has recommended funding the software and training component,
on condition the project is completed no later than March 31, 2009. For this reason, staff has
prepared this request on short notice.
1328
PastPerfect software training is a two -day program. Only two sessions are scheduled prior to
March 31st, with the January course in Exton, PA being the closest location and the only one
that fits the project timing. Training in January will provide BCPV with an eight -week timeframe
to complete the grant, project, in accordance with the grant conditions.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Cost to attend this two -day training program include bus transportation, 3 nights
accommodation, meals and course fees, at a cost not to exceed $1,000. Funding from DCH is
available under account 513 -39 to cover these costs.

FROM: Adele Freeman, Director, Watershed Management
RE: REGION OF PEEL SPILLS RESPONSE DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM
KEY ISSUE
Award of contract to Angus GeoSolutions Inc. (AGSI) for the completion of a user needs
assessment for the Region of Peel Spill Decision Support System.
RECOMMENDATION
WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) private- sector partner
Keigan Systems Inc. has gone out of business as of September 2008;
WHEREAS TRCA and the Region of Peel has secured National Resources Canada
funding from GeoConnections to complete the development and implementation of the
Region of Peel Spill Decision Support System;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT Angus GeoSolutions (AGSI) be awarded the
contract for the development and facilitation of a stakeholder consultation session to
develop a user needs assessment for the Region of Peel Spill Decision Support System at
a cost not to exceed $17,900, plus applicable taxes.
BACKGROUND
At Executive Committee Meeting #10/07 , held on December 7, 2007, Resolution #B161/07,
was approved, in part, as follows:
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; ...
Since that time Keigan Systems, the private sector partner in the development of the Region of
Peel Spill Decision Support System (SDSS), has gone out of business.
TRCA staff had 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 and 2 funding in the amount of $22,875 has been approved.
1330
The project was to be completed in four phases:
1) Strategic Planning - the development a strategic vision and partnership for the
development and coordinated utilization of a web -based SDSS and database.
2) User Needs Assessment - the identification of the exact data and tool requirements for the
SDSS, 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 (MOESAC).
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 the web -based SDSS 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.
Keigan Systems was to play a role in the project by assisting TRCA and the ROP in completing
these four phases, but also by contributing in -kind technical and professional services towards
the development of the Spill Decision Support System.
Work Completed to Date
Phase 1 had already been completed when Keigan Systems notified TRCA and the ROP that
they could no longer partner in the project. Phase 2 funding had been secured to complete the
User Needs Assessment and the decision was to continue forward with the project in hope of
developing a new private- sector partner to take the place of Keigan Systems. This
arrangement has been discussed with the ROP and GeoConnections and it will not impact
future funding of the project.
To complete the User Needs Assessment, staff developed a Request for Quotation asking for a
consultant to complete the following deliverables:
• design and distribute a questionnaire to spill responders;
• collect, analyse and report on the questionnaire results;
• develop and facilitate a focus group with spill responders to review the questionnaire
results;
• complete the user needs assessment report outlining data and tool requirements.
The three contractors who received the Request for Quotation were as follows:
• LURA Consulting;
• AGSI;
• Dillion.
1331
The quotations submitted were as follows:
CONSULTANT
QUOTE
LURA Consulting
$17,000, plus applicable taxes
AGSI
$17,900, plus applicable taxes
RATIONALE
Given AGSI's experience in the development and implementation of web -based mapping
solutions, staff recommends that AGSI be selected to complete this contract. AGSI holds an
exclusive licence for Go360 platform for web -based solutions. Further, AGSI has knowledge
and expertise in the delivery of web -based solutions with the Go360 platform that cannot be
provided by LURA Consulting.
TRCA and ROP staff have met with and reviewed AGSI's Go360 platform and believe it is a
web -based solution that could deliver the SDSS being designed. It was further felt that there
was potential for AGSI to become a partner in the project during Phases 3 and 4, after the
completion of the Phase 2 user needs assessment. For this reason, TRCA staff believe that
awarding the contract to AGSI will provide the continuity for the project moving from Phase 2 to
the later phases that could not be satisfied by LURA Consulting.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Costs for this contract will be covered through the Natural Resources Canada GeoConnections
contribution of $11,875, with the remaining amount being covered by the Region of Peel 2008
capital budget, for a total amount not to exceed $17,900 plus GST.
This work will be completed by the end of January 2009.

ECOOFFICES PROGRAM
Certification of Offices and Appointment of Energy Conservation Officer.
Certification of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority offices as
"EcoOffices ", update on EcoOffices program and creation of Energy
Conservation Officer.
Colleen Jordan
Suzan Hall
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the following Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) administration offices be certified "TRCA EcoOffices":
• Boyd Centre and Restoration Services Centre (jointly)
• Head Office
• Downsview Office;
THAT the Authority recognize the creation of the "Energy Conservation Officer" position;
AND FURTHER THAT the municipalities in TRCA's jurisdiction be so advised.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #8106, held on October 27, 2006, Resolution #A255/06 was approved as
follows:
THAT the EcoSchools model (5 Step Process) for managing environmental sustainability
be adapted for use, under the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
Sustainability Management System (SMS), at TRCA's administrative offices;
THAT the adapted program be called EcoOffices, and be initiated as a pilot project at the
Boyd Office, Restoration Services Centre, Head Office and Downsview Office beginning
in the fall of 2006;
THAT EcoTeams be convened at each site;
1335
THAT the Coordinator, SMS lead the pilot project, with support from TRCA education
staff, to facilitate its integration with the SMS and corporate EcoSchools program;
THAT the EcoSchools Steering Committee be advised and consulted throughout the
TRCA pilot project for consideration of its possible application at their school board
offices;
THAT staff develop an internal certification process to recognize office efforts;
AND FURTHER THAT staff report in 2007 on results of the EcoOffice pilot project.
In 2007, Ontario EcoSchools program materials were modified by TRCA staff to develop an
EcoOffices program (with permission of Ontario EcoSchools and the Toronto and District
School Board). EcoTeams were established for Boyd Centre and Restoration Services Centre,
Head Office, and Downsview respectively, Team member training was conducted and the
annual EcoOffice process commenced.
After launching EcoOffices in June 2007, the intent was to establish June to June as the annual
reporting timeframe for the program. Therefore, certification of TRCA's offices, if it was
accomplished, would be done in June 2008. The June year end was selected initially to
coincide with the "school year" cycle of the EcoSchools program, in which the five TRCA
education facilities successfully participate. However, upon reflection the EcoOffice cycle was
reset to correspond to the calendar year in order to be consistent with TRCA's Corporate
Sustainability Reporting under its Sustainability Management System.
Program Description
Although TRCA supports relatively large scale, energy investments such as renewable energy
sourcing at facilities and major energy retrofits, TRCA's operational sustainability through staff
level grassroots "green" actions is equally vital. Since its inception, TRCA has sought to
optimize engagement of staff in the Sustainability Management System.
At the conclusion of the first year of TRCA's involvement with Ontario EcoSchools, it was
determined that the EcoSchools protocols and processes would be helpful in furthering TRCA
efforts to operate more sustainably at its various office facilities. In particular, the EcoSchools
model excelled at involving and empowering the 'grassroots' element of an organization in
facilitating change. EcoSchools processes, protocols and areas of focus tend to mesh more
closely with typical office operations than environmental management systems such as
International Standards Organization (ISO) 14000, which were designed primarily for industrial
operations.
EcoOffices, then, is a TRCA created program (based on Ontario EcoSchools) that administers
the "greening" of our offices through coordination of specific office EcoTeams. It is important to
note that, as a TRCA developed program, EcoOffices "certification" is, at this point, a
"self- certification" process. Responsibility for certifying offices as EcoOffices rests with the
Coordinator, SMS.
RATIONALE
The EcoOffices annual administrative cycle (based on that of EcoSchools) is as follows:
• beginning of year - set up office EcoTeam;
1336
• establish current conditions in various areas of operational sustainability;
• draft workplan to advance sustainability in functions and areas needing improvement
(including targeted actions);
• reassess progress on workplan and overall sustainability conditions;
• submit documentation to SMS Coordinator;
• year end - certification (or re- certification) by designated TRCA staff;
• start process again.
Certification of an office as a "TRCA EcoOffice" is based on the submission (by office EcoTeam
chairs) of suitable documentation attesting to the completion of each of these stages. If the
documentation is complete and can attest both to the following of proper EcoOffice processes,
and to genuine sustainability progress, the Coordinator, SMS will grant the certification.
EcoOffices' simple, cyclical process demands accountability and helps establish a culture of
continual improvement in operational sustainability. EcoOffices, along with EcoSchools and
the emerging Audubon Certification Program for TRCA parks are three programs playing
grassroots sustainability administration roles within TRCA's overall Sustainability Management
System.

CITY OF PICKERING
8.1.1 ONTARIO REALTY CORPORATION
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 27, Concession 4, (2870 Sideline 26),
in the City of Pickering, Duffins Creek Watershed as located on the property
owned by Ontario Realty Corporation.
The purpose is to permit the replacement of a washed out culvert.
The permit will be issued for the period of February 13, 2009 to May 31, 2009 in accordance
with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
• Proposed,Works, received by TRCA on December 17, 2008.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose is to recognize development within a watercourse north of Taunton Road on the
east side of Sideline 26, in a TRCA regulated area of the Duffins Creek Watershed. This work
included the replacement of a washed out metal culvert, the placement of gabion protection
around both culvert openings and the application of crushed stone cover to reconstruct the
previous driveway.
Emergency Works
In August 2008, the culvert was washed out during a rain storm and required immediate
replacement, as the driveway it supported was the only way to access a large portion of the
existing farm lot. Emergency authorization to start this project was given by the Director of
Planning and Development at the TRCA on August 19, 2008. The culvert replacement has
since been completed. On this basis, the permit approval period will be reduced from the
standard two years to May 31, 2009. This will enable TRCA Enforcement staff to conduct
compliance monitoring.
Control of Flooding:
The applicant was required to install a larger diameter culvert and embed the replacement
culvert 20% into the watercourse substrate in order to improve the conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
The applicant was required to install erosion and sediment controls in order to prevent
sediment flushing downstream. This included using coffer dams or other methods of isolation
and the erection of silt fencing around the construction area. In addition, the applicant was
required to remove any sediment build -up /debris from the watercourse that accumulated
during construction prior to the removal of these isolation measures.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
1340
Erosion:
The replacement culvert is not anticipated to decrease slope stability or create additional
erosion hazards. Gabion protection around the culvert openings have been included to
prevent erosion of the constructed driveway.
Conservation of Land:
TRCA ecology staff have indicated the area downstream of the culvert houses a diverse fish
community. The sediment controls indicated above have been deemed satisfactory as a
method of protecting this habitat, and the larger diameter culvert embedded within the creek
substrate will reduce impediments to fish movement.
Plantings
Not required.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 (E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary
Structures - of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Proposal:
The proposal involves upgrading the existing Combined Sewer Outflow (CSO) facility located at
the North Toronto Treatment Plant (NTTP). The City of Toronto is proposing to expand the size
of the existing CSO tank capacity and to improve the water quality discharged from the
Treatment Plant into the Don River. These improvements were identified as part of the City of
Toronto's Wet Weather Flow Master Plan which recommended that the CSO facility be
considered for high -rate treatment (HRT) to improve the quality of the wet weather flow
discharges to the Don River. It involves expanding the CSO tank volume from 4810 cubic
metres to 8940 cubic metres, providing a laboratory to house a polymer injection system, and
installing a pumping and tank flushing system. Construction is proposed to commence in
Spring /Summer of 2009. Dewatering may be required as part of the construction. The City
construction contractor will be providing TRCA with a detailed dewatering plan prior to
construction commencement for review and approval. This permit will remain invalid until the
TRCA approves the construction dewatering plan.

1357
Proposal:
The purpose is to permit the continued construction of a basement and main floor addition to
an existing dwelling within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. The works are
located approximately 8 metres from the existing top of bank. As the works commenced
without a Building Permit, City of Vaughan Building Standards Department issued a stop work
order to the applicant and notified the applicant to contact TRCA.
Based upon a site visit conducted by TRCA staff on September 12, 2008, it was noted that the
excavated materials for the basement extension had been placed and spread across the rear
yard of the property and over the top of bank beyond the property boundary. TRCA staff
instructed the applicant to submit a geotechnical study to determine the extent of filling and
undertake immediate stabilization measures to prevent the transport of sediment into the valley
system. The applicant has since addressed this issue through the submission of a geotechnical
study prepared by Terraprobe, dated December 12, 2008 and the removal of fill material from
the valley corridor as recommended by the report. TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that
these restoration measures are sufficient in ensuring stability of the slope.
As the works commenced prior to the issuance of a municipal building permit and a permit
under Ontario Regulation 166/06, an additional administrative fee has been applied to the
application.

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
Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a new 15,643.07 square metre
(168,381 sq. ft.) secondary school, associated parking areas and playing fields on the subject
property associated with a municipal site plan application (Town File No. SPA 06 -64). The
subject property is located on the north side of Columbia Way, east of Highway 50, north of the
Bolton Northeast Secondary Plan Area. The subject property is currently zoned Agricultural
(A1), which permits a school use within Agricultural zoned areas. A Provincially Significant
Wetland (PSW) associated with a tributary of the Humber River is located adjacent to the
1364
eastern portion of the property. Based on our review, the proposed works are located on the
tableland portion of the property and are sufficiently setback from the PSW and associated
watercourse. As such, no impacts to the wetland feature or stream corridor are anticipated as a
result of this development.
The eastern portion of the subject property is located within the Protected Countryside of the
Greenbelt Plan. No works associated with this proposal are located within the limits of the
Greenbelt designation. Stormwater flows for the proposal will drain to an existing storm sewer
at Kingsview Road to the south and ultimately to a stormwater management facility within the
Bolton Northeast Secondary Plan Area, which is to be modified slightly in order to
accommodate the proposed development. For the portions of the site requiring stormwater
quality control (excluding clean roofwater), Level 1 Enhanced quality control is proposed
utilizing two stormceptors and vegetated bioswales within the parking lot. These proposed
vegetated bioswales in the parking lot will also provide for a degree of infiltration. Water
balance is to be achieved using the above mentioned bioswales as well as an infiltration trench
along the eastern development limit. The proposed groundwater infiltration methods will
replicate pre - development recharge conditions. There are no flooding, geotechnical, or
ecology related concerns with this application. Plantings are proposed within the Greenbelt
lands adjacent to the stream corridor and wetland in order to provide a net ecological gain for
this area.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no impacts
to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated.
Pollution:
Appropriate sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained on the subject
property during all phases of construction.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns anticipated with this project.

Proposal:
The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Rouge River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of the proposed Roy Rainey
bridge located near the corner of Roy Rainey Avenue and Edward Jeffreys Avenue, in the Town
of Markham. The proposed development is located between two residential subdivisions within
the planning boundaries of the Wismer Commons Secondary Plan Area. The bridge is a
component of the Secondary Plan and conforms to the requirements of the approved
Environmental Services and Stormwater Management (ESSM) Study completed for the
Secondary Plan.
The proposed bridge will cross a tributary to the Rouge River Watershed, known as West
Robinson Creek. Based on TRCA's review of submitted ecology and engineering reports, the
structure has been designed to respect the estimated erosion thresholds for the watercourse,
to properly convey Regional Storm flows, as well as to allow for wildlife passage. The proposed
total structure length of the bridge is approximately 33 metres with a crossing span of
approximately 25.4 metres. The proposed bridge abutments are approximately 6.7 metres
from the outer high water mark of the watercourse, which, based on the submitted engineering
reports, is acceptable to TRCA staff. As such, no geotechnical, engineering, or fluvial
geomorphology concerns are anticipated with this proposal.
No in -water works are anticipated as a result of construction. Additionally, all near water works
will be conducted within the cold water fisheries timing window of July 1 to September 15 of
any given year. Although there are no fisheries related concerns associated with this proposal,
a Letter of Advice (LOA) on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be issued with
this permit.
An extensive enhancement planting plan has been submitted with this application, which
proposes to increase vegetative cover throughout this area and improve the ecological
condition of this area.
Control of Flooding:
A portion of the proposed works are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain. However,
TRCA technical staff have reviewed the proposal and do not anticipate and significant adverse
impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed and maintained throughout all
phases of construction.
1368
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
,Based on our review of several engineering reports provided with this application, there are no
slope stability, fluvial geomorphic and /or geotechnical concerns associated with this project.
As previously noted, the proposed bridge has been designed to span the meander belt width
for this system. In addition, it is not anticipated that any adverse impacts to any other natural
channel processes will occur as a result of this proposal. As such, TRCA staff are satisfied that
the geomorphic components of this application are satisfactory.
Conservation of Land:
No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of the proposed construction. However,
an extensive enhancement planting plan for the surrounding area has been proposed. The
intent of the planting plan is to provide for a renaturalized corridor, as well as to provide for
additional terrestrial habitat. Although there are no fisheries related concerns with this
proposal, a LOA will be issued on behalf of DFO.
Plantings
Native and non - invasive restoration /enhancement plantings consistent with TRCA's
guidelines have been provided with this application.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is in conformity with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's
Valley and Stream Corridor Management Plan (VSCMP).

Concession IX, (Major Mackenzie Bridge (over the Little Rouge River, between
Highway 48 and 9th Line)), in the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as
located on the property owned by Regional Municipality of York.
The purpose is to remove the existing bridge (6.9 m Length x 14.3 m Span/Width x 3.0 m
Height) and construct structures (23.0 m Length x 25.0 m Span/Width x 3.0 m Height) bridge
with pedestrian rail, abutment walls on all four quadrants, asphalt paving) within a Regional
Storm Floodplain; to excavate and place fill ( for bridge footings, for abutment walls, for road
widening) in a Regulated Area; to interfere with a wetland with road widening /bridge
construction; to temporarily alter a watercourse ( Little Rouge River) during the coldwater
timing window through a coffer dam method in order to work in the dry to conduct in water and

York.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The entire proposal consists of the widening of Major Mackenzie Drive from Highway 48 to
Ninth Line from two to four lanes while maintaining a rural cross section with grassed swales.
This file deals with only the bridge removal and replacement on Major Mackenzie Drive within
the Regulated Area with a net benefit of an increase in span /width from approximately 15
metres to 25 metres as well as an increase in length from approximately 7 metres to 23 metres
to accommodate the road widening. The proposed 25 metre span of the bridge was reviewed
by TRCA staff in the proponent's Meander Belt /100 Year Erosion Limit Report submission. The
height of the bridge will remain constant at 3 metres. The entire site is located within a
Regulated Area as well as a Regional Storm Floodplain associated with the Little Rouge River.
There is a wetland area on the north and south sides of the existing bridge.
In May of 2008 this project was brought forth to the Executive for approval with a temporary
retaining wall on the north side. Since that time the Regional Municipality of York has acquired
the land on the north side of the bridge, therefore, the temporary north retaining walls are not
required, and this revised report without the north retaining walls has to be taken to this
Executive Committee meeting for approval. This section of Major Mackenzie Drive is located in
the Greenbelt and the Regional Municipality of York is required to comply with that legislation.
The works associated with this project have been reviewed under the Environmental
Assessment Act in Central File Number 38734, Ontario Regulation 166 and under the Federal
Fisheries Act for best management practices.
Control of Flooding:
Staff has reviewed the hydraulics for the proposed bridge structure and has determined that
there will not be any negative impacts to flooding. The existing span size of approximately 15
metres will be increased to 25 metres which will facilitate flow.
Pollution:
Standard erosion control measures (silt fences, pea gravel coffer dams) will be implemented to
ensure that the construction - generated sediments do not enter the watercourse.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable
Erosion:
There will be no slope'stability issues related to the works.
1370
Conservation of Land:
There will be in stream works associated with this project. A coffer dam method will be utilized
to isolate the watercourse from construction. With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect
and the works being conducted within the coldwater timing window from July 1 to September
15, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be
mitigated. A Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the Fisheries and
Oceans Canada (DFO) after the permit is issued. The impacts to the wetland on the north and
south side of the bridge will be minimized as much as technically possible during construction.
Plantings
All disturbed areas will be restored with native /non- invasive species following
construction.
Policy Guidelines:
The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing of the Authority's Valley
and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
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. A permit for these works was previously approved by the
Executive Committee on February 1, 2008 (Permit No. C- 08370). Ownership of these lands has
since changed from 1083951 Ontario Ltd. to Hamleys Developments Inc. and, thus, a new
permit is required. There have been no substantial changes to the proposed development
since the works were first approved by the Executive Committee.
1372
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 developments 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.
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.
1373
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.

Proposal:
The purpose is to allow development and the alteration of a watercourse within a Regulated
Area of the Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a stormwater
management facility (SWM Pond B) and an associated outfall to service, in part, a 698 -unit draft
approved plan of subdivision in the northeast quadrant of Nobleton, Township of King. A
permit for these works was previously approved by the Executive Committee on February 1,
2008. Ownership of these lands has since changed from 1083951 Ontario Ltd. to Hamleys
Developments Inc. and, thus, a new permit is required. There have been no substantial
1377
changes to the proposed development since the works were first approved by the Executive
Committee.
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. This stormwater management facility is one of three to be constructed for the
proposed subdivision. This facility will be constructed in the southwest corner of the site, east
of Highway 27 and north of an existing public school. The facility will outlet to a tributary of the
Humber River (Tributary A).
A portion of the works for the proposed stormwater management facility will occur within the
buffer area and watercourse, including grading and the construction of the outfall. The
proposed location of the facility was accepted by TRCA staff after an extensive review of the
Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) and Environmental Impact Statement for the
Nobleton Community and subsequent submissions by the applicant in response to TRCA
comments on the MESP. As such, conditions of draft approval were issued by TRCA staff on
November 9, 2005.
This permit application fulfills one of the conditions of draft approval. Through this process, the
applicant has continued to work with TRCA staff on the detailed design of the stormwater
management facility.

The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose of this application is undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the
Etobicoke Creek Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a 185.78 square metre
(1999.72 sq. ft.) addition to an existing 373.72 square metre (4,022.69 sq. ft.) maintenance
facility building located at 245 Markland Drive, at the Markland Wood Country Club. The
existing building and proposed addition are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain of the
adjacent Etobicoke Creek. In accordance with TRCA policy, the proposed expansion is less
than 50% of the total gross floor area (GFA) of the existing building, which existed as of January
1, 1987. Given the floor elevation and nature of operations (i.e., golf cart storage) of the existing
structure, it has been confirmed that dry- passive floodproofing measures are not feasible. As a
result, the addition and existing structure will be floodproofed using wet - passive measures,
which include elevating electrical and mechanical systems above the Regional Storm
Floodplain water level. The proposed addition has been designed to withstand water flows and
velocities expected during the Regional Storm event. Based on our review, TRCA staff do not
anticipate any significant adverse impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters.
The location of the proposed addition is currently a manicured lawn. As such, there are no
ecology related concerns associated with this application.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain. However, TRCA Water
Resources staff have confirmed that this proposal will not have any significant impacts to the
storage and /or conveyance of flood waters.
Pollution:
Appropriate erosion and sediment 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 application.
Conservation of Land:
No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of this project. There are no fisheries
related concerns associated with this project.

Burnside & Associates Limited, Revision No. 4 (revised January 2009), received by the
TRCA February 5, 2009.
RATIONALE
The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal:
The purpose is to construct a new water intake pipe and pump structure within a Regulated
Area of the Humber River for golf course irrigation purposes. The purpose of the works are to
supplement the water level of an existing irrigation pond which is primarily fed through surface
runoff only when necessary. The works are located within Regional Storm Flood Plain and a
portion of the proposed PVC intake pipe is located within the erosion limit of the watercourse.
Through discussions with the applicant, the manhole structure which contains the pump as well
as an isolation valve have been located outside of the 30 metre 100 year erosion limit;
therefore, no permanent structures are proposed within the erosion limit.
The portion of the proposed works within the erosion limit has been limited to an expendable
PVC pipe which can be relatively inexpensively modified as required to adjust to the natural
movement of the watercourse. Due to the ability to modify the intake as required, permanent
structures, which may harden the watercourse in order to protect the inlet from erosion are not
required.
As part of the overall approvals process for these works, the applicant has already acquired a
Permit to Take Water (PTTW No. 0842- 6VBKD2) from the Ministry of the Environment (MOE).
For the PTTW permit process, the approved water taking volume has been determined not to
affect baseflow of the watercourse; furthermore, the elevation of the intake pipe has been
designed accordingly.
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are located within the Regional Flood Plain; however, due to the minor
impact and small footprint of the proposed works, TRCA water resources staff are satisfied that
the proposed works will not impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters.
1395
Pollution:
A double silt -fence will be erected around the area of disturbance near the watercourse. The silt
fencing in conjunction with a proposed coffer dam will prevent the transport of sediment into
the watercourse.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical issues associated with this application.
Conservation of Land:
All disturbed areas including the creek bed will be restored following the completion of the
works. All in -water works will take place in the dry" and inside Ministry of Natural Resources'
(MNR) fisheries timing window; a Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Letter of Advice will be
issued by TRCA staff upon permit release.
Plantings
The creek bank will be planted with native, non - invasive species to create a net
ecological gain over the existing sodded / manicured conditions. There will be no
adverse affects on any other significant natural features.
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.

• Letter of Undertaking, prepared by G. Farmer, AECOM, dated February 11, 2009, to
address outstanding TRCA engineering 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 improve the function of an existing stormwater management
facility and implement best management practices (BMPs) at 4898 16th Avenue, in the Town of
Markham. This work is part of the 16th Avenue Environmental Improvements Initiative, which is
a strategy developed by York Region to further enhance the natural environment within the
Rouge River Watershed subsequent to the construction of the York - Durham Sanitary Sewer
(YDSS) along 16th Avenue. The strategy has identified this site as one of the many properties
to be improved.
The land use and corresponding surface cover conditions for the Unionville Alliance Church
site can be classified as a mixture �f pavement, gravel, grass and rooftops. The church, as well
as a detached classroom building, and a house are all located in the south portion of the
subject property., The buildings are surrounded by a paved access road, parking lot,
recreational area, a manicured lawn and a small landscaped area. The northern portion of the
site consists of an additional gravel parking lot and a large grassed area.
The site is graded such that stormwater drains south, primarily via sheet flow, towards 16th
Avenue, an existing stormwater management pond, and to Eckhardt Creek of the Rouge River
Watershed. The stormwater management pond and the watercourse feature are located near
the southwest site boundary, which collect runoff generated by the grass area at the north end
of the site, as well as a portion of the rear parking and lawn areas.
1400
The background information on this project initiative indicates the site was selected as a
location to implement retrofit measures. The current criteria for site draining to Eckhardt Creek
requires a distinct level of source control in order to reduce the volume of stormwater
discharging into the creek. To achieve this objective, the proposal involves runoff being treated
with a combination of an expanded /improved stormwater management pond, a bioretention
swale and permeable pavers. The existing stormwater management pond will be enlarged to
increase the storage capacity. Further to the expansion, modifications to the pond will include
the removal and replacement of the existing outlet to Eckhardt Creek, the installation of a rock
check dam within the pond to provide a small sediment forebay and the implementation of
landscape enhancement measures. These works are intended to promote the removal of
suspended sediment from site runoff prior to discharging into the adjacent tributary. An area of
approximately 200 square metres of the existing paved parking lot on the south side of the
church is to be converted to permeable paver stones. Although the area is relatively small, the
proposed permeable pavement will enhance the treatment of stormwater and promote
infiltration. The bioretention swale is a stormwater management technique that provides an
opportunity for detention and infiltration of runoff, as well as a means of improving the
ecological conditions of the site. Given that the contributing drainage is predominately paved
and almost impervious on the subject property, the proposed bioretention swale to be
constructed immediately south of the proposed permeable pavement, is intended to provide
pre- treatment of runoff prior to discharging to the stormwater management pond to be
retrofitted, as well as provide limited infiltration.
An extensive enhancement planting plan has been provided with this application, incorporating
ecological improvements for the stormwater management pond, bioretention swale, and natural
area located along the western property limit (i.e., Eckhardt Creek).
Control of Flooding:
The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no
impacts to the storage and /or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated.
Pollution:
In accordance with TRCA's erosion and sediment control guidelines, construction will be
undertaken using a staged approach to mitigate any potential impacts on the receiving
Eckhardt Creek. The first of three steps will be to implement erosion and sediment control
measures. Second, the proposed modifications to the existing stormwater management pond
will be carried out by first erecting an impermeable barrier at the location of the proposed rock
check dam to facilitate the pond expansion works. Inflow will be diverted through the existing
outlet structure such that a dry work area can be maintained. The outlet hose for the pump will
be equipped with a filter bag to remove suspended sediment, prior to discharging back into the
adjacent natural area. In order to carry out the removal and replacement of the outlet structure,
during the third phase, surface runoff will be directed to the site entrance culvert where it will be
pumped to a filter bag prior to discharge. A temporary plug will be inserted into the culvert to
prevent flow into the stormwater management pond during the existing outlet structure removal
and replacement. Subsequent to the completion of the proposed stormwater management
improvements, all disturbed areas will be restored.
Dynamic Beaches:
Not applicable.
1401
Erosion:
There are no geotechnical and /or slope stability concerns associated with this proposal.
Conservation of Land:
No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. However, an extensive
enhancement planting strategy has been provided to improve the ecological condition of this
area. In accordance with our Level III Agreement with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO),
TRCA staff conclude that no Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat
anticipated. However, a Letter of Advice (LOA) on behalf of DFO will be issued with this permit.
As well, the coldwater fisheries timing window (July 1 to September 15) will be applied to the
construction of the outfall structure, due to the proximity of the proposed works to the coldwater
tributary (i.e., Eckhardt Creek).
Plantings
All proposed plant species are native and non - invasive consistent with TRCA guidelines.
Policy Guidelines:
This proposal is in conformity with Section 4.2.2 (E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary
Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

Professional Trailbuilders Association Conference, Asheville, North

to attend a trail conference in the United States of America.
Maria Augimeri
Ron Moeser
THAT approval be granted for Steve Joudrey, Land Management Technician to attend the
Professional Trailbuilders Association Conference in Asheville, North Carolina, United
States of America, from March 15 -20, 2009 at a cost not to exceed $3,900 plus applicable
taxes;
AND FURTHER THAT a presentation on the results of the conference be made at a future
Executive Committee.
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.
1406
The Professional Trailbuilders Association (PTBA) is North America's largest private sector
group of trail specialists, contractors, designers and consultants with over 30 years in the
business of supporting quality trail design, construction and maintenance for all types of trails.
Attendance for this event is expected to be approximately 300 participants from around the
continent.
PTBA's primary activities include:
• promoting professional trail contracting and consulting as cost - effective ways to design,
build and maintain high - quality trails;
• establishing the importance of sustainable trails realized through skillful trail design,
construction and maintenance;
• helping trail contractors improve skills and abilities;
• marketing the services of members to federal, state and local governments, special
districts, nonprofit organizations, and private landowners;
• providing networking opportunities between members and with the wider world;
• serving as the organized voice of private trail contractors with governments and other
organizations; and
• hosting the annual, national Trailbuilders Conference to further the above goals.
RATIONALE
TRCA is currently experiencing very high demands for trails on conservation lands with
associated increases in use and requests for multiple uses on the trails. Attendance at the
PTBA conference and workshops would be beneficial to TRCA not only for the general planning
and implementation of our trails and plans but also specifically for the necessary background
research to update TRCA's Trail Planning and Design Guidelines manual. This event would
allow TRCA to gain a broader perspective on philosophies and techniques used in jurisdictions
outside of southern Ontario. The PTBA Conference is well attended by participants from all over
the United States and Canada with varying backgrounds and specializations in the industry. In
2008, 175 organizations were represented at the PTBA Conference. The trade $show that runs
in conjunction with the conference would allow staff to meet new supply contacts and test
equipment on the premises for products TRCA may or may not have considered previously.
In addition, TRCA may be able to participate in the PTBA Conference program by presenting
our experiences with trail building and planning in the Toronto region and introduce TRCA as
an organization to a larger audience as there is a call for presentation proposals focusing on
Conservation Land Management. This would provide a great opportunity for TRCA staff to
learn about other trail planning and management techniques, as well as share our experiences
with others.
Steve Joudrey will be attending workshops, presentations and a trade show over six days as a
means for professional development and networking. Upon his return, presentations on
findings will be made to the Conservation Lands and other groups within TRCA that are
involved in trail building as well as to the Executive Committee
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Costs to attend this conference, including return flight, meals, conference fees and
accommodations, are estimated at $3,900 plus applicable taxes and funds are available in the
2009 Operating and Capital Budget under Account 440 -19.

FROM: Deborah Martin - Downs, Director, Ecology
RE: HUMBER RIVER WATERSHED PLAN PRINTING
KEY ISSUE
Award of contract to Swiss Print International for the printing of the Humber River Watershed
Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Swiss Print International be awarded the contract to print the Humber River
Watershed Plan at a cost not to exceed $18,869.00 plus applicable taxes and shipping.
BACKGROUND
In 2003, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) began a five year work program
with York Region, Peel Region and the City of Toronto to prepare a watershed plan for the
Humber River. This initiative was to assist York and Peel regions and the City of Toronto in
fulfilling the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, 2002 requirement to have watershed plans
completed for all rivers draining from the Oak Ridges Moraine. The study was also designed to
update the 1997 watershed strategy, Legacy: A Strategy ForA Healthy Humber, augment the
City of Toronto Wet Weather Flow Management Master Plan by providing direction for upstream
municipalities, identify high priority remedial actions that address goals of the Remedial Action
Plan for the Toronto and Region Great Lakes Areas of Concern, and apply TRCA's vision for
The Living City at a watershed scale. The Humber River Watershed Plan was approved at
Authority Meeting #5/08, held on June 28, 2008.
RATIONALE
The full watershed plan document is 183 pages, including 70 colour pages and 19 colour
pull -out maps. A total of 500 copies will be published for distribution to municipalities,
provincial and federal agencies, environmental stewardship groups, libraries and other
interested stakeholders.
Quotes for printing services were requested from three vendors: Swiss Print International,
Creative Path and Warren's Waterless Printing. The table below summarizes the cost estimates
received from each vendor.
Vendor
Estimated cost
(plus GST, PST and shipping)
Swiss Print International
$18,869.00
•
Creative Path
$18,600.00 .
Warren's Waterless Printing
$25,929.00
1411
Staff recommends that the contract be awarded to Swiss Print, one of TRCA's Forest
Stewardship Council Certified preferred vendors, due to the quality of work they produce, their
ability to meet our deadlines as well as their great customer service. The lowest bidder,
Creative Path, is unable to meet TRCA's timeline. Enviro (100% recyclable) paper will be used
to print the document and final piece will be metal wire bound, which allows for the book to lay
flat when reading. Of the three quotes, Swiss Print was comparable to Creative Path, with only
couple of hundred dollars difference. Swiss Print was recommended as the preferred vendor
because Creative Path indicated that they could not meet the timeline for turnaround that we
required.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Cost for the project is 1$8,869.00 plus GST, PST and shipping. Funding for the Humber River
Watershed Plan was provided by the Regional Municipality of York, Regional Municipality of
Peel and City of Toronto as part of the municipal capital budgets for TRCA.
