In Camera Session Adjournment AGENDA SAUGEEN VALLEY CONSERVATION AUTHORITY Conservation through Cooperation MINUTES MEETING: Authority Meeting DATE: Thursday June 4, 2020 TIME: 1:00 p.m. LOCATION: Electronic CHAIR: Dan Gieruszak MEMBERS PRESENT: Paul Allen, Maureen Couture, Barbara Dobreen, Mark Goetz, Cheryl Grace, Tom Hutchinson, Steve McCabe, Don Murray, Mike Myatt, Sue Paterson, Diana Rae, Christine Robinson, Bill Stewart ABSENT WITH REGRETS: Mark Davis OTHERS PRESENT: Wayne Bell, Delegate Dick Hibma, Interim General Manager/Secretary-Treasurer Jennifer Stephens, General Manager/Secretary Treasurer Laura Molson, Manager, Accounting Erik Downing, Manager, Environmental Planning & Regulations Shannon Wood, Manager, Communications JoAnne Harbinson, Manager, Water Resources & Stewardship Services Donna Lacey, Forestry Coordinator Shaun Anthony, Flood Warning/Water Quality Coordinator Alyssa Gowing, Regulations Officer Janice Hagan, Administrative Assistant/Recording Secretary Chair Dan Gieruszak, called the meeting to order at 1:00 p.m. 1. Adoption of Agenda MOTION #G20-60 Moved by Paul Allen Seconded by Maureen Couture THAT the agenda be adopted as presented. CARRIED 2. Declaration of Pecuniary Interest No persons declared a pecuniary interest relative to any item on the agenda. Authority Meeting – June 4, 2020 3. Minutes of the Authority Meeting – May 7, 2020 MOTION #G20-61 Moved by Bill Stewart Seconded by Barbara Dobreen THAT the minutes of the Authority meeting, held on May 7, 2020 be approved as circulated. CARRIED 4. Introduction of New GM/S-T, Jennifer Stephens The Chair introduced Jennifer Stephens and welcomed her as the new GM/S-T. Jennifer thanked staff and the members for the warm welcome received so far. She told the members that she looks forward to meeting each one individually and to bringing leadership and experience to SVCA to build strong stakeholder relationships in the SVCA jurisdiction. 5. Administrative Review of Completeness of Permit Application Dick Hibma introduced the application file for Wayne Bell and reviewed the procedures for determining if an application is complete. He reminded the members that the purpose of the Administrative Review is for determination of completeness and not for the purpose of discussion on approval or non-approval of the permit. Wayne Bell told the Authority that when he purchased the property, the land search indicated that a portion of the property is regulated by EP zoning. When construction started in 2018, the dwelling was outside the EP area according to the building permit. The foundation and footings were inspected and approved by the building inspector. A post core sample on the property performed by B.M. Ross revealed a very dense clay. He noted that all requirements were followed by him and he was not notified of any violation until November 2019, after construction was complete and all fill had been replaced. Mr. Bell states that he may have had an environmental study done had he been notified of the violation beforehand. Alyssa Gowing read her report as submitted. She confirmed that notification of the violation was not received by the SVCA office until November 2019. Erik Downing clarified that the dwelling and the deck included on the application were not in the slope hazard, therefore if the application had come in with only the dwelling and the deck, it may have been approved with only minor conditions. The shed structure, however, may contribute to a disturbance or failure of the slope to the detriment of the shed or neighbouring properties. The requested geotechnical study, as supported by the SVCA Environmental Planning and Regulations Policies Manual, would clarify if there is a risk to property, and potentially to life as the provincial guidelines suggest. Erik explained that it is not possible for staff to determine the possible damage that could occur due to the weight of a structure and only a geotechnical study could provide this information. After further discussion, the following motion was defeated: MOTION #G20-62 Moved by Mark Goetz Seconded by Cheryl Grace THAT the Authority considers the permit application by Wayne and Laurie Bell with respect to a 66 m2 accessory structure (shed) located approximately 12.5 m from the top of an over-steepened ancient glacial shoreline bluff and a single-storey bungalow style dwelling with basement, attached deck and covered porches located approximately 30 metres from the top of the slope at 730 Lake Range Drive, CON A PT LOT 43 RP 3R 1906 Part 2, Township of Huron-Kinloss, to be incomplete and requires submission of the following as 2 Authority Meeting – June 4, 2020 acceptable to SVCA staff: - Application to Alter a Regulated Area form with site plan - Payment of Standard Works application review fee ($1472) and - Submission of an acceptable site-specific geotechnical stability study. DEFEATED The Chair explained that staff may not be able to approve the application, but that the Authority does not require the geotechnical study to deem the application complete. If staff are unable to approve the permit, a Section 28 Hearing will take place. Wayne Bell left the meeting at 2:55 p.m. The Chair called a recess and the meeting was reconvened at 3:05 p.m. The Chair informed the Members that he had had a discussion with Wayne Bell during the recess. The decision was reviewed, and next steps were discussed. He told Mr. Bell that anything he c an do to provide staff with additional evidence and information would be beneficial moving forward, but that there is no guaranteed outcome of a Section 28 Hearing. 6. Matters Arising from the Minutes a. COVID-19 Measures Update Dick reviewed the report submitted. The members requested that the watershed municipal clerks be informed and updated of any changes especially regarding park and campsite openings. 7. Consent Agenda MOTION #G20-63 Moved by Tom Hutchinson Seconded by Steve McCabe THAT the reports, Minutes, and information contained in the Consent Agenda, [items 7a-c], along with their respective recommended motions be accepted as presented. CARRIED 8. New Business a. Violations Reporting Policy Dick Hibma reviewed the submitted report and noted that SVCA is a regulatory agency charged with upholding Ontario Regulation 169/06, as amended, protecting people and property from hazards, which is one of the main functions of the Authority. Staff are not currently requesting to make substantive changes to processes; however, the report clarifies the importance of the type of work being done and the challenge to uphold the regulatory role as a serious responsibility. He stressed that staff need to be supported in upholding Section 28 Regulations. He noted that there are current risks that need to be mitigated and some legal costs that may need to be incurred. He noted that legal budgets of other CA’s are much higher than SVCA’s budget. The members thanked Dick for the reminder. After discussion, the following motion was passed: 3 Authority Meeting – June 4, 2020 MOTION #G20-63 Moved by Mike Myatt Seconded by Sue Paterson THAT the Authority approve the SVCA Section 28 Violations Process Report as presented, and further THAT the Authority confirm the current practice for reporting and processing of Section 28 violations should be continued. CARRIED 9. For the Good of the Committee In recognition of Dick Hibma’s retirement and dedication as Interim General Manager/Secretary-Treasurer, the Chair presented him with a plaque and a donation of $200 to the charity of his choice. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 3:38 p.m. on motion of Diana Rae and Christine Robinson. __________________________________ _________________________________ Dan Gieruszak Janice Hagan Chair Recording Secretary 4 AGENDA 1078 Bruce Road 12, P.O.

BACKGROUND The Board of Directors received a report at their last meeting held on June 4, 2020, documenting the COVID-19 Pandemic Response to date at Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA). At that time, camping sites at Brucedale, Durham, and Saugeen Bluffs Conservation Areas had been opened to seasonal campers. These seasonal campers were able to live self-contained without the use of our washroom facilities. In addition to the three campgrounds, day-use conservation areas had been opened for passive use.

  • Bulk Water Pricing Framework to Foster Sustainable Water Management in Ontario
    Bulk Water Pricing Framework to Foster Sustainable Water Management in Ontario by Guneet Sandhu A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Sustainability Management (Water) Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Guneet Sandhu 2018 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Amidst rising concerns for sustainability of water resources, the province of Ontario has placed a temporary moratorium expiring on January 1, 2019 on bulk groundwater extraction by new water bottlers while considering broader reforms in water management policies. Given the projected impacts of climate change, coupled with population and economic growth, episodes of water scarcity are expected to rise in Ontario. Even though measures for sustainable water management are slowly gaining momentum, Ontario’s economy is likely to remain water- intensive with a burgeoning water demand. Therefore, to assure sustainability of water resources, proactive policies need to be developed that can effectively communicate water scarcity and change the consumption behavior of all water-using sectors. Bulk water pricing is an effective economic instrument to manage demand, incentivize use-efficiency and conservation by signaling to users the economic value of water. However, current water extraction charges imposed on few industrial sectors are very small, and hence insufficient not only to foster sustainable water use but also to recover the costs of various resource management initiatives undertaken by the Province of Ontario.
