Good afternoon Solange,

Happy new year, I hope you had a wonderful break.

I called a couple of days ago, and wanted to follow up: we are in the pre-TPAP phase of a new project, the Scarborough Junction Grade Separation, and I wanted to reach out to the MECP as we start preparing for the TPAP. In terms of initial steps, I would like to confirm what information you would need in order to assign a Project Officer. I’m assuming at a minimum:

· Project description · Study area map · Proposed TPAP schedule

Thanks very much, a feel free to give a call if that would be easier.

Good morning Laura,

Thank you for your information request for the Cultural Heritage Assessment Report on the Scarborough Junction Grade Separation Project in the City of Toronto. Your request to verify the presence of conservation easements or OHT owned properties within or adjacent to the area displayed in the map you provided has been processed. I’ve reviewed the site against our database of OHT easements and properties. We can confirm that the OHT does not have any conservation easements or Trust-owned properties within or adjacent to the area that you provided in the map.

I also recommend you check the Trust’s register (available online) http://www.heritagetrust.on.ca/en/index.php/pages/tools/ontario-heritage-act-register or contact the local municipality to verify no local heritage properties are present within the identified study area.

The Heritage Planner, [email protected] at the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport can assist you with any questions you may have about any other provincially owned heritage properties within or adjacent to the study area.

Kind regards,

Kevin De Mille

From: Walter, Laura [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: February-28-19 3:43 PM To: Kevin DeMille Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Information Request - Scarborough Junction Grade Separation Project – Cultural Heritage Assessment Report

Good afternoon Kevin,

As part of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Scarborough Junction Grade Separation Project, Stantec is conducting a Cultural Heritage Assessment Report (CHAR) on behalf of Metrolinx. As a provincial crown agency, Metrolinx is subject to the 2010 Standards & Guidelines for Conservation of Provincial Heritage Properties (S&G) issued under the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) as well as the Metrolinx Interim Cultural Heritage Management Process (2013).

Metrolinx is expanding its services as part of the GO Expansion program which will increase services both in terms of train frequency and availability. Given this proposed level of service, the current configuration at the Scarborough Junction in eastern Toronto (where the Stouffville Line and Lakeshore East Line merge) does not provide sufficient train capacity. To eliminate potential conflicts with opposing and express trains, grade separation between the Stouffville Line and Lakeshore East Line trains is being proposed.

The Scarborough Junction Grade Separation Project will include the following key components: New tracks: one heading north on Stouffville Line and one heading east on Lakeshore East Line. Rail/rail grade separation of the new Stouffville connection under the Lakeshore East tracks at Scarborough Junction. Re-located Scarborough GO Station building to accommodate new tracks. Stouffville Line: Depressed rail corridor along Stouffville line from Corvette Avenue to Danforth Road. Depressed rail grade separation at Danforth Road. Grade separation of the pedestrian crossing at Corvette Avenue. New rail bridge or bridge extension over St. Clair Avenue Lakeshore East Line: New alignment of Lakeshore East tracks to the north. New rail carrying structure over Midland Avenue.

The project impacts will be assessed following the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP), as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08 under the Environmental Assessment Act. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report will be prepared for public review.

As part of the CHAR we are inquiring about any potential of Ontario Heritage Trust (OHT) conservation easements or OHT owned properties within or adjacent to the Cultural Heritage Assessment Area. The Cultural Heritage Assessment Area is located within the City of Toronto. The Cultural Heritage Assessment Area extends 50 metres around the Scarborough Junction Project Footprint and is bounded to the west by Kennedy Road, to the north by Eglinton Avenue East, to the east by McCowan Road, and to the south by Park Street.

Specifically, the Cultural Heritage Assessment Area spans across the following historical lots and concessions of the former Township of Scarborough, within the former County of York, now the City of Toronto. · Lots 26 to 30, Concession B

· Lots 26 to 30, Concession C

Could you please advise if there are any properties with an OHT conservation easement or any OHT owned properties within or adjacent to the Scarborough Junction Cultural Heritage Assessment Area?

For the ease of review, mapping has been prepared depicting the Cultural Heritage Assessment Area (see attached). This map appears in draft form and may contain confidential information not yet released to the public. We ask that you maintain confidentiality while responding to this inquiry.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks, Laura

Please find attached our request for information for the Scarborough Junction G/S project. The data request is with regards to the following: 1. Hydraulic Model: Massey Creek HEC-RAS 2. Hydrologic Model: Massey Creek Visual Otthymo 3. Floodplain mapping for Massey Creek

We are submitting this data request to collect information in support of the Transit Project Assessment Process for the project. Information obtained through this request will be used to document existing conditions and inform the effects assessment for the Project.

With regards to TRCA query (March 05) for the The Meadoway project, please note that there is a set of grade separation projects along the Stouffville Corridor that are also advancing, though like the Scarborough Junction G/S project these appear to be outside of the Meadoway Regional Study Area.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

MTCS File 0010365 – Scarborough Junction Grade Separation

Hi Simon,

As you may know, the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS) developed screening checklists to assist property owners, developers, consultants and others to identify known and potential cultural heritage resources:

· Criteria for Evaluating Archaeological Potential · Criteria for Evaluating Marine Archaeological Potential · Criteria for Evaluating Potential for Built Heritage Resources and Cultural Heritage Landscapes

I have used the document above (Built Heritage and Cultural Heritage Landscapes) in order to respond to your question: Question 3a. i. Is the property (or project area) identified, designated or otherwise protected under the Ontario Heritage Act as being of cultural heritage value e.g. a property that is designated by order of the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport as being of cultural heritage value or interest of provincial significance [s.34.5]? MTCS Response: To date, no properties have been designated by the Minister.

Question 3a.v. Is the property (or project area) identified, designated or otherwise protected under the Ontario Heritage Act as being of cultural heritage value included in the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport’s list of provincial heritage properties? MTCS Response: At this time, there are no provincial heritage properties within the study area. Please note that if the subject lands or parts of the subject lands are owned or controlled by an Ontario Ministry or Prescribed Public Body (PPB) on behalf of the Crown (the list of PPBs is available as O. Reg. 157/10), a Ministry or PPB may have responsibilities under the Standards and Guidelines for Conservation of Provincial Heritage Properties.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Laura

Afternoon Rupesh,

It looks like our two "regional study areas" intersect, however I do not envision any direct impacts between projects. The Meadoway does cross the Stoufville Line between Kennedy and Midland, and we are particularly interested in the pedestrian bridge that crosses this embankment, however these are separate from your EA and will be explored through different channels.

Thanks again.

Good Morning Simon,

Ministry staff have reviewed the attached incoming letter and can confirm that Metrolinx has included in their list of potentially interested Indigenous communities all of the communities that MECP would identify as potentially affected by or interested in this proposed transit project.

Currently we have this project tracking for a proposed Minister’s Notice date of Summer 2020. Can you kindly confirm that this is still accurate? A tentative date for when the ministry can expect a draft EPR would be helpful to provide, if possible.

Dear Metrolinx TPAP project managers,

Thank you for your letter dated January 30, 2020 providing Health Canada with the Notice of Public Meetings for GO infrastructure expansions planned under the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08. Health Canada's role in Impact Assessment (IA) / Environmental Assessment (EA) is founded in statutory obligations under the Canadian Impact Assessment Act, which provides the legal basis for the federal IA process. Health Canada is a federal department with knowledge and expertise that can be called upon by responsible authorities, review panels, Indigenous groups and/or other jurisdictions leading IA/EAs to determine whether there are potential health risks associated with proposed projects and how to prevent, reduce or mitigate them. Upon receipt of a request from one of the above noted groups, Health Canada may participate in this IA/EA process.

However, should you have any specific questions related to human health or Health Canada guidance documents on IA, please contact us.

Kind regards,

Hello,

Thank you for your correspondence.Please note Transport Canada does not require receipt of all individual or Class EA related notifications. We are requesting project proponents to self-assess if their project:

1. Will interact with a federal property and/or waterway by reviewing the Directory of Federal Real Property, available at at www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/dfrp-rbif/; and 2. Will require approval and/or authorization under any Acts administered by Transport Canada* available at http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/acts-regulations/menu.htm.

Projects that will occur on federal property prior to exercising a power, performing a function or duty in relation to that project, will be subject to a determination of the likelihood of significant adverse environmental effects, per Section 82 of the Impact Assessment Act, 2019.

If the aforementioned does not apply, the Environmental Assessment program should not be included in any further correspondence and future notifications will not receive a response. If there is a role under the program, correspondence should be forwarded electronically to: [email protected] with a brief description of Transport Canada’s expected role.

*Below is a summary of the most common Acts that have applied to projects in an Environmental Assessment context:

· Canadian Navigable Waters Act (CNWA) – the Act applies primarily to works constructed or placed in, on, over, under, through, or across navigable waters set out under the Act. The Navigation Protection Program administers the CNWA through the review and authorization of works affecting navigable waters. Information about the Program, CNWA and approval process is available at: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/programs-621.html. Enquiries can be directed to [email protected] or by calling (519) 383-1863.

· Railway Safety Act (RSA) – the Act provides the regulatory framework for railway safety, security, and some of the environmental impacts of railway operations in Canada. The Rail Safety Program develops and enforces regulations, rules, standards and procedures governing safe railway operations. Additional information about the Program is available at: https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/railsafety/menu.htm. Enquiries can be directed to [email protected] or by calling (613) 998-2985.

· Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act (TDGA) – the transportation of dangerous goods by air, marine, rail and road is regulated under the TDGA. Transport Canada, based on risks, develops safety standards and regulations, provides oversight and gives expert advice on dangerous goods to promote public safety. Additional information about the transportation of dangerous goods is available at: https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/tdg/safety-menu.htm. Enquiries can be directed to [email protected] or by calling (416) 973-1868.

· Aeronautics Act – Transport Canada has sole jurisdiction over aeronautics, which includes aerodromes and all related buildings or services used for aviation purposes. Aviation safety in Canada is regulated under this Act and the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs). Elevated Structures, such as wind turbines and communication towers, would be examples of projects that must be assessed for lighting and marking requirements in accordance with the CARs. Transport Canada also has an interest in projects that have the potential to cause interference between wildlife and aviation activities. One example would be waste facilities, which may attract birds into commercial and recreational flight paths. The Land Use In The Vicinity of Aerodromes publication recommends guidelines for and uses in the vicinity of aerodromes, available at: https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/publications/tp1247-menu- 1418.htm. Enquires can be directed to at tc.aviationservicesont- [email protected] or by calling 1 (800) 305-2059 / (416) 952-0230.

Please advise if additional information is needed.

Hello Anne,

Thank you for your comment about the Section 3.2 of the draft EPR that references hydrogeology/geotechnical report for the Scarborough Junction project. MX typically does not append hydrogeology/geotechnical reports to the EPRs, instead we provide a summary of the findings.

The field work for this project is ongoing, and the timeline to complete this work has been affected by Covid-19. Once we have the report, MX will summarize the findings and share the proposed text to be included in the EPR with MECP.

We will be in touch to firm up the timeline for the submission as the study progresses.

Kind regards,

Uton Samuels Project Manager, Environmental Programs and Assessment Metrolinx 10 Bay Street, Toronto ON M5J 2W3

Re: Transit Project Assessment Process and Consulting with Indigenous Communities

Dear Uton Samuels:

On March 13, 2019 the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (ministry) confirmed the list of communities that must be consulted on the basis that they have or may have constitutionally protected Aboriginal or treaty rights that could be adversely affected by the Metrolinx Scarborough Junction Grade Separation TPAP (project).

Based on the information provided by Metrolinx and the Crown's preliminary assessment of Aboriginal community rights and potential project impacts, the ministry provided you with a list of the communities to be consulted as follows:

• Alderville First Nation • Beausoleil First Nation • Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation • Chippewas of Rama First Nation • Curve Lake First Nation • Hiawatha First Nation

• Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation • Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation • Huron-Wendat Nation • Kawartha Nishnawbe First Nation • Métis Nation of Ontario

As you are aware, the Government of Ontario (the "Crown") has a constitutional duty to consult Aboriginal communities when Crown project approvals could lead to an adverse impact on established or asserted Aboriginal or treaty rights. The Crown may use existing regulatory processes as a vehicle for fulfilling its constitutional duty, including an assessment process under the Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings.

The Crown has a duty to consult communities when it knows about established or credibly asserted Aboriginal or treaty rights and contemplates decisions or actions that could adversely affect them. As an agency of the Crown, Metrolinx’ actions can trigger the Crown’s duty to consult and Metrolinx is responsible for carrying out the consultation for the Crown.

Consultation Activities

Steps that you may need to take in relation to Aboriginal consultation for your project are outlined in the ministry’s Guide: Ontario’s Transit Project Assessment Process and Code of Practice for Consultation in Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Process which can be found at the following links: https://www.ontario.ca/page/guide-environmental-assessment- requirements-transit-projects and https://www.ontario.ca/document/consultation-ontarios- environmental-assessment-process.

The ministry relies on consultation conducted by proponents when it assesses the Crown’s obligations and directs proponents during the regulatory process. The proponent’s responsibilities for procedural aspects of consultation include: • Providing First Nation and/or Métis communities with information about the proposed project/activity including anticipated impacts, and information on timelines; • Following up with First Nation and/or Métis communities to ensure they received project/activity information and that they are aware of the opportunity to express comments and concerns about the project. If you are unable to make the appropriate contacts (e.g. are unable to contact the Chief) please contact the appropriate Project Officer for further direction; • Gathering information about how the project could adversely impact the relevant Aboriginal and/or Treaty rights (for example, hunting, fishing) or sites of cultural significance (for example, burial grounds, archaeological sites); • Considering the comments and concerns provided by First Nation and/or Métis communities and providing responses;

• Where appropriate, discussing potential mitigation strategies with First Nation and/or Métis communities; • Bearing the reasonable costs associated with these consultation opportunities; and, • Maintaining a Consultation Record and providing copies to the ministry.

Notice of Commencement

The ministry understands that you are following the transit project assessment process under Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the project. Please be advised that when you initiate the assessment process, a Notice of Commencement should be sent to Kathleen O’Neill, Director of Environmental Assessment Branch (EAB) and the ministry’s Regional Director for the region in which the project is located, as well as to the Indigenous communities identified above. Please also send a copy of the notice to the Project Officer.

Should you or any members of your project team have any questions regarding the material above, please contact me at 416-314-1181 or [email protected].

Sincerely,

Anne Cameron Project Officer Environmental Assessment Branch

I’m pleased to provide the MHSTCI with the revised Scarborough Junction Grade Separation Project Cultural Heritage Report: Existing Conditions and Preliminary Impact Assessment for your review. I have also attached the comment log that was issued to MHSTCI on July 17, 2020 for your reference.

Please provide your review and comments by August 14, 2020.

Kind Regards,

Dear Meagan Bratt,

Thank you for providing the draft Cultural Heritage Assessment for the Scarborough Junction Grade Separation Project (dated April 17, 2020, prepared by Stantec) to the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries (MHSTCI). MHSTCI understands that this project is following the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as defined in Ontario Regulation 231/08 under the Environmental Assessment Act. O. Reg. 231/08 identifies the MHSTCI’s interest in cultural heritage resources. Cultural heritage resources include archaeological resources, built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes.

As you know, MHSTCI has provided guidance on how to incorporate consideration of cultural heritage in the TPAP’s pre-planning activities, and expanded by outlining the technical studies and level of detail required to address the cultural heritage component for transit projects. MHSTCI notes the above-mentioned cultural heritage study does not follow MHSTCI’s guidance and level of detail required to address the cultural heritage component.

We have attached our detailed comments which aim to assist Metrolinx and its consultant in fulfilling the requirements under TPAP:

· Terminology – In keeping with MHSTCI guidance on TPAP studies, the title of this document should be Cultural Heritage Report: Existing Conditions and Preliminary Impact Assessment. Built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes should be referred to as such. “Consultation” should not be used to describe basic information gathering.

· Organization and purpose – The report needs to be more concise and provide the level of detail about known and potential built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes shown in the ministry’s TPAP guidance. We have provided a recommended table of contents in the attached table. Maps and figures could be included within the sections (as opposed to Appendices) to improve readability.

· Methodology for screening, identification and evaluation – Overall the methodology section should be edited to be informative and concise. The identification of known and potential built heritage resources or cultural heritage landscapes in the study area is to be based on research, the MHSTCI screening Criteria for Evaluating Potential for Built Heritage Resources and Cultural Heritage Landscapes, historical summary of the development of the area and professional judgement. The report is inconsistent as to whether identification and evaluation is following MHSTCI’s TPAP guidance, as required, or Metrolinx’s Interim Cultural Heritage Management Process.

· Impact Assessment discussion – The report needs to Identify preliminary potential project- specific impact (e.g. project components and project activities) on each identified property and propose mitigation measures to avoid or mitigate potential negative impacts.

As per our discussions on May 11, we will be providing comments on the draft EPR for this project (dated April 24, 2020, prepared by Stantec) by June 19, 2020.

Thank you for the opportunity to review the draft report. We would be pleased to discuss any of our comments further and/or provide additional information. Let us know if you would like to schedule a conference call.

All the best,

Hi Uton,

Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments. Our comments are general to policy framework.

The report and appendices need to be updated from Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2017 to A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.

The MTSA definition would have to be updated accordingly to reflect an area with an approximate radius of 500m to 800m of a station area. But the policy references to those in Section 3 of A Place to Grow still stand.

The reports acknowledge that the lines (Stouffville and Lakeshore) are priority transit corridors as defined in A Place to Grow under Schedule 5, but they should also note that Scarborough GO Station is subject to additional policy requirements and will be planned to achieve a minimum density target of 150 residents and jobs per hectare.

Also, if you could, please add me and Eleni Taye ([email protected]) to your notification list, and remove Jeff Thompson, as we are the new contact points in the Ontario Growth Secretariat.

Thanks again,

Dear Uton Samuels and GO Expansion Team,

Thank you for your email dated April 30, 2020 requesting Health Canada’s comments on the Draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) for Metrolinx’s Scarborough Junction Project. In response to the Go Expansion Team’s email seeking input on Metrolinx’s projects on January 30, 2020, Health Canada clarified on Feb. 5, 2020 that the department’s role in Impact Assessment (IA) / Environmental Assessment (EA) is founded in statutory obligations under the Canadian Impact Assessment Act (IAA), and its knowledge and expertise can be called upon by reviewing bodies (e.g., Impact Assessment Agency of Canada, review panels, Indigenous groups and/or other jurisdictions). In the absence of such a request from one of the above noted groups and considering that Health Canada has no regulatory role subject to Ontario Regulation 231/08, Health Canada is unable to carry out a comprehensive review of projects under the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP).

However, should you have any specific questions related to the assessment of effects on human health or Health Canada guidance documents on IA, please contact us.

Kind Regards,

Good morning Uton,

The Ministry’s Air Quality Specialist has reviewed the information you provided and is satisfied with Metrolinx’s comments, except for comment no. 9 (refers to the modelling files of BaP and NOx). Our reviewer would like to know if she could see the information as the table states that the information will be provided to the Ministry. Also, the table notes a couple of additional text integrated to the AQ Report. Can you tell me when the revised AQ report will be provided to the Ministry?

Ultimately, our Air Quality Specialist does not have any concerns with this project. She would just like to check if the sections updated match the Disposition table and to screen one of the modelling files to confirm the methodology described in the report was employed in the dispersion model.

Our Noise and Vibration reviewer is still reviewing the information.

All the best,

Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is expanding its services as part of the GO Expansion Program which will increase services both in terms of train frequency and availability across its seven rail corridors. The GO Expansion Program is an investment program that will transform GO Rail into a comprehensive regional rapid transit network system that provides the expanded mobility the Golden Horseshoe Area needs to accommodate growth and maintain a high quality of life and prosperous economy. The long-term goal and vision of the GO Expansion Program is to provide 15-minute, two-way all-day service. With major investment in GO Rail infrastructure, Metrolinx will be quadrupling GO Rail service and nearly doubling GO Rail ridership. By 2055, annual ridership will exceed 200 million, compared to 105 million without GO Expansion. As part of the GO Expansion program, Metrolinx has identified various infrastructure requirements to achieve the established service level targets across the network.

Metrolinx is completing three (3) Transit Project Assessment Processes (TPAPs) under Ontario Regulation (O. Reg.) 231/08, Transit Project and Metrolinx Undertakings to assess the effects of the proposed transit project, and to provide mitigation measures. Consultation with the public, review agencies and Indigenous communities is a key component of these TPAPs.

Metrolinx is hosting a second round of public consultations as part of the TPAPs for New Tracks and Facilities, Scarborough Junction Grade Separation and Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations.

Your participation and feedback is an important part of our work and there is space for you to provide comments every step of the way. All comments and questions received from August 18 to September 1 will be part of the final Environmental Project Reports.

Please visit www.metrolinxengage.com/goexpansion/oncorridor for access to project information, presentation materials, and to provide your comments and feedback.

We look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Dear Mr. Hoang Tran,

Metrolinx is hosting a second round of public consultations as part of the TPAPs for New Tracks and Facilities, Scarborough Junction Grade Separation and Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations.

Following advice from Public Health Ontario on COVID-19, this round of consultation will be carried out as a Virtual Open House from August 18 to September 1, 2020. The focus of this round will be on any newly identified infrastructure (or changes) and findings of draft environmental studies undertaken to date. The draft environmental studies were shared with CN in April of this year. CN may have an interest in the Scarborough Junction Grade Separation TPAP along the Kingston Subdivision, and the New Track and Facilities TPAP as the project proposes track improvements across the network.

Participation in the virtual open house by CN is not mandatory, but we did want to make you aware of this project update. If you are interested in viewing the materials for the virtual open house please visit www.metrolinxengage.com/goexpansion/oncorridor.

If you have any further questions regarding the TPAPs please contact us via the coordinates below.

Hello Anne,

Thank you for your comments and thank you for confirming that there are no further comments with regards to the Air Quality Technical Reports.

With regards to the comments provided below for our Noise and Vibration Technical Report (Construction), Metrolinx has put the Ministry’s comments in a comment log and have provided our additional comments in the log. For your convenience I am attaching the previous comments that were sent to the MECP that the response below were based upon.

Just to provide further clarity, the comments related to the review of this Technical Report, Appendix 7 of the Draft EPR, are related to Construction Noise and Vibration. A separate report to address Operational Noise and Vibration (System wide study) will be available for the MECP’s review by November 2020. The Operational Noise and Vibration Study will further clarify some of the questions from the MECP.

From: Cameron, Anne (MECP) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2020 12:39 PM To: Uton Samuels Cc: Batista, Cindy (MECP); Meghan Bratt; Rupesh Udash Subject: RE: OnCorridor - Scarborough Junction Grade Separation - MECP Comment Responses - Technical Reports

Good afternoon Uton,

Thank you for providing a response to the ministry’s technical comments on the Scarborough Junction Grade Separation Draft EPR and Technical Reports. Staff has had a chance to review Metrolinx’s responses and can provide the following comments:

Air Quality No further comments at this time. Please see the attached letter in response to the additional documents you provided.

Noise and Vibration Item 1 (Page 8/11): comment not addressed (will be addressed at a future date)

Item 2 (Page 8/11): the Metrolinx Environmental Guide for Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment is not endorsed by the MECP. Therefore, the reported Zone of Influence (ZOI) distance of 383 metres and night-time noise exposure limit of 65 dBA values are not endorsed by the MECP.

Item 3 (Page 8/11): response is ok.

Item 4 (Page 8/11): the use of reference sound levels for road and rail sources obtained from ORNAMENT and STEAM, respectively in the TNM / FRA / FTA models, is incorrect.

Item 5 (Page 8/11): if the existing noise barriers for the subdivisions along the LSE corridor considered in this assessment are acoustically effective, then figures (to scale) should be provided in order to show the locations, extents, heights and lengths of these barriers.

Item 6 (Page 8/11): the Metrolinx Environmental Guide for Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment is not endorsed by the MECP. The sample size for vibration measurements should be five (not three) train pass-bys.

Item 7 (Page 8/11): the Metrolinx Environmental Guide for Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment is not endorsed by the MECP. The best-case scenario concept is not in accordance with the MECP guidelines and procedures. Publication NPC-300 includes a definition for the “predictable worst case” (not best-case) scenario. See Part A of Publication NPC-300.

Item 8 (Page 8/11): the measured day [leq(16h)] and night [Leq(8h)] sound levels (listed in Table 5.1 and Appendix E) are very high. These sound levels are unlikely representative of the actual baseline levels and therefore, should be verified by attended monitoring and / or modelling.

Item 9 (Page 8/11): the measured vibration levels at 47 / 51 metres (Table 5.3) are not consistent with the measured vibration levels at 11/ 15 metres (Table 5.2). The measured vibration levels at 11 / 15 metres should be significantly higher than the ones measured at 47 / 51 metres.

Item 10 (Page 8/11): the predicted day [leq(16h)] and night [Leq(8h)] sound levels (listed in Table 5.4) are very high. Metrolinx is asked to verify the input parameters used in the sound level modelling.

Item 11 (Page 8/11): response is ok.

Item 12 (Page 8/11): response is ok.

Item 13 (Page 9/11): the listed noise exposure limits (in Tables 6.4a, 6.4b, 6.6a & 6.6b and in Figures 6.3.1 & 6.3.8) are questionable, excessive and not endorsed by the MECP, or the City of Toronto. Furthermore, the use of the best-case scenario concept contradicts the MECP noise guidelines (ref. Publication NPC-300). The Metrolinx Environmental Guide for Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment is not endorsed by the MECP.

Item 14 (Page 9/11): response is ok.

Item 15 (Page 9/11): response is ok.

Item 16 (Page 9/11): response is ok.

Item 17 (Page 9/11): the Metrolinx Environmental Guide for Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment (September 2019) is not endorsed by the MECP. The guidelines, procedures and limits included in this document are of Metrolinx only (the MECP is not a signing party of this document).

Item 18 (Page 10/11): the noise and vibration limits by the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the US Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the US Federal Railraod Administration (FRA), Metrolinx and the City of Toronto are not endorsed by the MECP. The completion of MECP’s noise and vibration review of this project is not an MECP’s endorsement of these limits.

Item 19 (Page 10/11): any recommended acoustic barriers considered in the noise analysis should have specific heights, lengths, extents and locations. Similarly, any recommended vibration control measures considered in the vibration analysis should be specified by type, location and extents. Figures (to scale) should be provided to depict the locations of the recommended acoustic barriers and vibration control measures.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the Noise and Vibration comments. I can also assist with setting up a virtual meeting if it would be helpful.

All the best,

Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is expanding its services as part of the GO Expansion Program which will increase services both in terms of train frequency and availability across its seven rail corridors. The GO Expansion Program is an investment program that will transform GO Rail into a comprehensive regional rapid transit network system that provides the expanded mobility the Golden Horseshoe Area needs to accommodate growth and maintain a high quality of life and prosperous economy. The long-term goal and vision of the GO Expansion Program is to provide 15-minute, two-way all-day service. With major investment in GO Rail infrastructure, Metrolinx will be quadrupling GO Rail service and nearly doubling GO Rail ridership. By 2055, annual ridership will exceed 200 million, compared to 105 million without GO Expansion. As part of the GO Expansion program, Metrolinx has identified various infrastructure requirements to achieve the established service level targets across the network.

Metrolinx is hosting a second round of public consultations as part of the TPAPs for New Tracks and Facilities, Scarborough Junction Grade Separation and Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations.

Please visit www.metrolinxengage.com/goexpansion/oncorridor for access to project information, presentation materials, and to provide your comments and feedback.

We look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Good afternoon, MPP Begum

Progress on the GO Expansion Program continues as we take the necessary steps to deliver better, more frequent transit throughout the Greater Golden Horseshoe. On September 1, the second virtual open house closed as part of the ongoing environmental assessment. The virtual open house achieved great engagement from communities and residents across the region.

We encourage residents to visit MetrolinxEngage.com to see the comments and questions that we received, most of which have been answered and will be included in the public record. A more fulsome report will be posted on Metrolinx Engage later this fall and will also be part of the final Environmental Project Report (EPR).

At this time we would like to make you aware that the Notice of Commencement is being issued for the three (3) TPAP projects: New Track & Facilities TPAP; Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations TPAP; and Scarborough Junction Grade Separation TPAP on September 8, 2020. The Notice of Commencement will be printed in the in the following publications:

Toronto Star Burlington Post Oshawa/Whitby This Week Oshawa Express Markham Economist and Sun Le Metroplitain Toronto L’Express

A TPAP is a focused impact assessment created specifically for transit projects. The process involves a pre-planning/consultation phase followed by a regulated phase that can be up to 120 days which starts with the Notice of Commencement and ends with the Notice of Completion. The process includes consultation, an assessment of positive and negative impacts, an assessment of measures to mitigate negative impacts and documentation in an Environmental Project Report (EPR). The EPR is made available for a 30-day public and agency review at the Notice of Completion and is followed by a 35-day Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks review.

Consultation with the public, review agencies and Indigenous communities is a key component of these TPAPs. As you are aware, two public open houses have already been held during the pre-planning phase including public meetings in February 2020 and a virtual open house in August 2020. As Metrolinx formally commences these TPAPs, we will continue with consultations including a third public virtual open house to be held in the Fall of 2020. More information regarding the TPAPs can be found on our website at Metrolinxengage.com/goexpansion/oncorridor

A TPAP is a focused impact assessment created specifically for transit projects. The process involves a pre-planning/consultation phase followed by a regulated up to 120-day phase that starts with the Notice of Commencement and ends with the Notice of Completion. The process includes consultation, an assessment of positive and negative impacts, identification of measures to mitigate negative impacts and documentation in an Environmental Project Report (EPR). The EPR is made available for a 30-day public and agency review at the Notice of Completion and is followed by a 35- day Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks review.

Consultation with the public, review agencies and Indigenous communities is a key component of these TPAPs. Two public open houses have already been held during the pre-planning phase including public meetings in February 2020 and a virtual open house in August 2020. As Metrolinx formally commences these TPAPs, we will continue with consultations including a third public virtual open house to be held in the Fall of 2020.

Hello Anne,

To answer your previous email, the Operational Noise and Vibration Study should be available for MECP’s review by November 2020. That being said, we will try to get it into the Ministry’s hands as soon as possible.

With regards to your other query below, you are correct. Comments No. 8 to 19 are mainly outstanding as they are in relations to the upcoming Operation Noise and Vibration Study. This study will provide further context to the EPR and will address some of the remaining outstanding issues. Appropriate revisions will be made to the EPR.

I am away this week, but if you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to my team copied on this email.

Thank you,

Hi Uton,

Our noise and vibration technical reviewer has outstanding issues with Metrolinx’s responses to Items No. 8 to 19. The noise and vibration excerpts of the draft EPR do not match with the corresponding sections of the noise and vibration report. Is this due to the fact that we do not have the final Noise and Vibration Report?

Sincere apologies for the delay in responding. Given staff availability (vacation schedules) and we want to ensure we are providing the Ministry achievable dates – please give us until September 29 (next Tuesday) to respond for all three (3) TPAP projects. You are correct – at this time – we have not made the draft EPRs for the three (3) TPAPs public on the website to coincide with the Notice of Commencement.

We will provide a status update for both issuing the comment response logs for each project, outstanding reports (NTF), and revised EPRs. Once we issue a response – it may be worthwhile to convene via teleconference to ensure we are clear on the expectations and timelines for both parties.

Thanks for your patience. Have a nice weekend.

Hi Mirjana and Meghan,

I hope this email finds you well.

Thanks again for sending the notice of commencement (attached) for the 3 projects: New Track & Facilities, Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations and Scarborough Junction Grade Separation. We are reviewing the materials posted on the Metrolinx website and are wondering if you would be able to clarify a few items:

· Usually the draft EPR and associated technical studies are posted for review during the notice of commencement. See specific comments below.

· The Additional Information tab seems to be the same for all projects. Although we have provided comments on the Info Sheet 2: Heritage Conservation, that information is specific to the Union Station property and would not apply, for example, to Scarborough Junction project.

· New Track & Facilities – MHSTCI File 0010956 We went to the website provided and clicked on the ‘key documents – Learn More’ button. Under the ‘Proposed Infrastructure & Studies’, no draft EPR and/or technical studies are included. Under ‘Reports’, there is a public meeting #1 summary report.

We provided comments on the draft EPR and one version of the Cultural Heritage Report. We haven’t seen a revised Cultural Heritage Report, which Metrolinx said it would send us another version for review. Are we missing something? Can you advise on your expectation – including timelines – for our review?

Metrolinx has yet to send the Stage 1 archaeological assessment. Can you advise on the Stage of Stage 1 AA and when we might expect the licensed archaeologist to submit it?

· Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations – MHSTCI File 0004872 We went to the website provided and clicked on the ‘key documents – Learn More’ button. Under the ‘Proposed Infrastructure & Studies’, there is no draft EPR but under Environmental Studies, the Cultural Heritage Report (dated August 26, 2020) has been posted. Under ‘Reports’, there is a public meeting #1 summary report.

We provided comments on the draft EPR and 2 versions of the Cultural Heritage Report. Stage 1 archaeological assessments have been entered on the Ontario Public Register of Archaeological Reports. Can you advise on your expectations – including timeline – for our review?

· Scarborough Junction Grade Separation – MHSTCI File 0010365 We went to the website provide and clicked on the ‘key documents – Learn More’ button. Under the ‘Proposed Infrastructure & Studies’, there is no draft EPR but under Environmental Studies, the Cultural Heritage Report (dated August 18, 2020) has been posted. Under ‘Reports’, there is a public meeting #1 summary report.

We provided comments on the draft EPR and 2 versions of the Cultural Heritage Report. Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment has been entered on the Ontario Public Register of Archaeological Reports. Can you advise on your expectations – including timeline – for our review?

We look forward to continuing to support Metrolinx in its cultural heritage due diligence under the Ontario Heritage Act and Ontario Regulation 231/08. We are happy to arrange a meeting if you would like to discuss.

Good Morning,

A TPAP is a focused impact assessment created specifically for transit projects. The process involves a pre-planning/consultation phase followed by a regulated phase that can take up to 120 days which starts with the Notice of Commencement and ends with the Notice of Completion. The process includes consultation, an assessment of positive and negative impacts, an assessment of measures to mitigate negative impacts and documentation in an Environmental Project Report (EPR). The EPR is made available for a 30-day public and agency review at the Notice of Completion and is followed by a 35-day Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks review.

Consultation with the public, review agencies and Indigenous communities is a key component of these TPAPs. Two public open houses have already been held during the pre- planning phase including public meetings in February 2020 and a virtual open house in August 2020. As Metrolinx formally commences these TPAPs, we will continue with consultations including a third public virtual open house to be held in the Fall of 2020.

Hello Header and Anne,

We apologize for the confusion. As mentioned previously, the Construction N&V you have already reviewed. Some of the comments provided in that review dealt with Operational N&V that would not be addressed in the previously circulated reports. The documents that were recently submitted are the Operational N&V reports that include Scarborough Rail-Rail. Construction N&V was separated from Operational N&V for this project and the projects that were listed in the table.

RWDI meant that the construction related impacts of grade separation are assessed in separate reports. All operations related impacts are assessed in this report.

We can correct the language in the versions moving forward to reflect that Scarborough is a part of this report.

CAUTION -- EXTERNAL E-MAIL - Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender. Hello Anne,

That is not correct and the statement is an error. Scarborough Rail-Rail is Scarborough Junction and is included in the report. I believe where there is confusion was that they (RWDI) were saying that it was not included in the report as they did not do a noise assessment for the entire Scarborough Junction footprint (beyond the operational rail corridor). However, they have assessed the rail corridor that is a part of Scarborough Rail-Rail, so all the operational corridor has been assessed. We did clarify this matter with them internally. That is why there is a statement at the beginning of the document that states that Scarborough Junction is included from an operational standpoint.

I believe that is just a statement in the document that was missed and needs to be corrected.

For your reference, I am taking the statement I am referencing from the LSE N&V Report’s Executive Summary. Please see below:

The operation phase reports address the noise and vibration impacts of train operations per planned “maximum” service levels (10% addition to planned levels during peak periods) on the expanded and improved rail network - fully accounting for every relevant element of the infrastructure – including the new grade separations, new/improved bridges, and layover facilities. Hence, the rail noise and vibration implications of the proposed infrastructure are accounted for in the operation phase report of each corridor, to provide a more consistent and efficient assessment process.

This also includes the following projects that are currently undertaking the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) and/or TPAP Addenda as part of the GO Expansion program:

• Scarborough Junction Grade Separation

The potential noise and vibration impacts of any change in road traffic conditions resulting from grade separation and other component projects were not assessed, since these impacts are expected to be insignificant (much less than 5 dB) and generally positive (a noise reduction)

Thank you for pointing out the error to us. If you have any further questions, please feel free to email me or give me a call.

Kind Regards,

Hi Uton,

Thank you for your email below where you state that for the Scarborough Junction Grade Separation TPAP, the Noise and Vibration Reports for both the Stouffville and the Lakeshore East rail lines should be reviewed. I was just speaking with the Noise Reviewer who has begun his review of the Lakeshore East Noise and Vibration Report. He pointed out that on page 9 of the report, the report states that “The Scarborough Rail-Rail Separation Project is not included in the evaluation of operational noise or vibration”. First off, I want to clarify that the “Scarborough Rail- Rail Separation Project” is the same as the Scarborough Junction Grade Separation project? Secondly, is this statement correct as you had mentioned that both rail lines needed to be assessed for the Scarborough Junction Grade Separation project? I would point out that the email sent from Mirjana Osojnicki on Friday included a table that detailed which technical report was linked to which project and the Lakeshore East Noise and Vibration Assessment was linked to the Scarborough Junction Grade Separation TPAP.

Thank you for your help clarifying the points above.

CAUTION -- EXTERNAL E-MAIL - Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender. Hello Anne,

Yes, you are correct. The information referred to below is the Operational N&V and AQ reports.

Unfortunately more than one report will need to be looked at as the operational assessment was not looked at from a project specific basis, but rather corridor wide.

With regards to Air Quality, I believe that the Stouffville portion was an update to 2017 Electrification AQ assessment as this portion of the corridor will be electrified, therefore no negative impacts to report. New information for the LSE portion is available that includes the proposed new tracks and facilities, such as Midland Layover, that was assessed.

With regards to N&V there should be updated information for both Stouffville and LSE corridors.

I hope that helps.

Hi Uton,

As the project coordinator for the Scarborough Junction Grade Separation TPAP, I wanted to touch base with you regarding the reports that Metrolinx has submitted so far.

Please correct me if I am wrong but I believe Metrolinx has submitted the Noise and Vibration Report for the construction stage – which the ministry has provided comments on. The information submitted in the email below from your colleague is the Noise and Vibration Report for the operation stage – but done for the specific rail lines. As the Scarborough Junction Grade Separation project is where 2 rail lines (Stouffville and Lakeshore East) meet, is it possible for you to tell us if one report can be reviewed rather than both?

Thank you for your help with clarifying the documents.

1. The explanation of the Economic Feasibility Assessment for the Noise and Vibration reports states all receptors that benefit from a noise wall by 5 dB or more are taken into account; this is what our TA has modelled. The text insert prepared by MX states the modelling accounted for all receptors that benefit by 3 dB and more. This minor issue will be revised for the final versions. 2. We are seeking approval of the proposed mitigation language. Metrolinx will advise of any changes.

As an update, we will be sending the following reports as part of Tranche 3 next week:

Construction will not be determined immediately as it will be up to the Project Co. However, construction will be between 2022-2028. We can commence discussions with our Property Acquisitions group to discuss land requirements.

Feel free to contact me to discuss further.

Thank you,

Hello Uton Thank you for the positive update and image of the proposed bridge. You have kindly outlined your current process but can you tell me when you would expect to commence construction or acquisition of the property, keeping in mind there is still a reference plan requirement to legally identify the site. TLC needs to undertake Board approvals and Regulatory disposition procedures which takes time. Please let me know approximately when you believe Q?, 202?, and then we can set some timelines to finalize key business terms and I may proceed to obtain the requisite authorities.

Thank you Anita

Hello Anita,

Thanks for following up. I am currently the Project Manager for Scarborough Junction. I can provide you with an update on the current status.

We are currently in the process of undergoing the TPAP for Scarborough Junction. The Notice of Commencement has occurred in September and we are preparing for a Notice of Completion in December. We will be holding our third PIC at the end of November.

For a project updated, we will no longer be planning for a tunnel and will be planning to provide a bridge. This aligns with TDSB recommendations and is MX preferred crossing. The City of Toronto has agreed with the provision of a bridge. We have an updated RCD that has a bridge design that crosses the tracks and provides a ramp that is directly adjacent to the corridor. The ramp on the TDSB property side will lead to a pathway that will connect to Wolfe Avenue.

For your convenience, please find attached to this email a rendering of the bridge. Please note that stairs will also be added to the bridge/ramp.

As an update, as mentioned, I am the Project Manager for the EA portion of the project, Laura Romeo is the Manager, Pam Foster is now our Director for Environmental Programs and Assessments and Tom Clarke is the Project Manager for our Project Delivery Team.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact myself.

Kind Regards,

Hello, It has been quite a while since we last connected on this project. Could you please provide an update on timing. As well, we need to understand the pedestrian crossing and ensure that the tunnel is no longer considered an option. Overall, we need to allow enough time to finalize the terms and conditions and obtain Board authority. Thank you Regards, Anita

CAUTION -- EXTERNAL E-MAIL - Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender. Hi Anne,

Metrolinx has issued the draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) for the Scarborough Junction Grade Separation project and the associated technical reports via the Ontario Public Sector Enterprise Transfer Attachment Service (EATS). The EPR folder contains a clean version that includes most of the edits from the MECP from the Government Review Team, with the exception of the Operational N&V sections that are to be revised based on our Meeting this past Tuesday and as follows below. As advised by the MECP, an updated version will follow that will include a red-lined version that includes all the additional edits made to the EPR. We will send another red-line version of the draft EPR once the additional language is added for the Operational Noise and Vibration sections of the report and any edits as a result of the MHSTCI comments.

The following EPR have been included with this submission:

Scarborough Junction Grade Separation Project – Environmental Project Report – Final Draft (Contains updated Operational N&V language that was not reviewed prior to Tuesdays meeting with Header and Cindy (MECP) and additional language addressing Ground Water)

The following Technical Report folders contain the revised reports based on the previously comments received during the GRT process. Previously, Metrolinx had provided the following reports, which have been revised.

Appendix A1: Natural Environment Technical Reports Appendix A2: Cultural Heritage Report Appendix A3: Stage 1 AA Appendix A3-1 MHSCTI Acceptance Letter Appendix A3-2 Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment Appendix A4: Socio-Economic and Land Use Studies Appendix A5: Air Quality Assessment Appendix A5-1 Construction Phase Air Quality Impact Assessment Report (addresses all grade separation sites) Appendix A5-2 Regional Air Quality Study, GO Rail Network Electrification Project Appendix A5-3 Draft Local Air Quality Study LSE Appendix A6: Noise and Vibration Assessments Appendix A6-1 Construction Noise and Vibration Assessment Report (addresses all seven grade separation sites) Appendix A6-2 Operations Noise and Vibration Study Lakeshore East Corridor (same reports as received through separate email attachment – Was not previously reviewed) Appendix A6-3 Operations Noise and Vibration Study Stouffville Corridor (same reports as received through separate email attachment – Was not previously reviewed) Appendix A7: Transportation Impact Assessment Appendix A8: Tree Inventory (Was not previously reviewed) Appendix B: Record of Consultation (Was not previously reviewed)

We reached our limit for uploading to EATS and needed to upload the Appendix B: Record of Consultation to the following dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/64zqr9405cxflhr/Appendix%20B%20Record%20of%20Consultation.zip?dl=0

Please let me know if you have any difficultly accessing the files, as we can also issue through the consultant’s FTP site or another Dropbox link.

From: Cameron, Anne (MECP) To: Uton Samuels; Laura Romeo Subject: Scarborough Junction Grade Separation Project - EA and Groundwater comments Date: Tuesday, December 15, 2020 11:35:04 AM

Hi Laura and Uton,

Please see below final comments from MECP’s Technical Support Staff for Groundwater:

In my comments on an earlier version made via e-mail on Mon 05/25/2020 5:50 PM, I stated: I have not found any sections on geology and hydrogeology in a scan of the documents provided. As the construction is in areas in which there is already rail infrastructure, I have no concerns. In completing the project, the proponent will need to comply with ministry legislation and regulations with respect to water, soils and contamination. Some of these are as follows: 1. Permit to Take Water Regulation (an application will be accompanied by a Category 3 Hydrogeological Assessment which is more detailed that the geological assessment which accompanies an EA, 2. Discharge requirements with possibly an ECA, 3. O. Reg. 406/19: ON-SITE AND EXCESS SOIL MANAGEMENT, 4. The movement of contamination from adjacent possibly contaminant impacted areas.

The current report (Stantec, 2020) provides a very high level description of the geology and hydrogeology taken from published studies. The proponent is currently completing hydrogeological and geotechnical studies along the project corridor. This data will be used to complete the applications required for a Category 3 PTTW or Construction Dewatering EASR.

The report also points out that the various construction areas may require a Permit to Take Water (PTTW) or a Construction Dewatering EASR depending upon the amount of water encountered in the excavations. Longer term PTTWs will be required in those areas where the rail line is below the water table. Area of proposed works is an area of existing municipal, road and rail infrastructure. The proponent is aware of the requirements for either a Permit to Take Water or Construction Dewatering EASR depending upon the dewatering requirements of the various proposed construction sites. The proponent has identified the need for longer term PTTWs in areas where the depressed rail corridor is below the water table. The Proponent has identified five medium risk and two high risk Areas of Potential Environmental Concern including the presence of fill of unknown quantity along the rail corridor. The proponent has committed to developing a Groundwater Management and Dewatering Plan (GMDP) to guide the handling, management, and disposal of groundwater encountered during the Works.

The proponent has correctly identified the legislation applicable to dewatering and the movement of waste and excess soil likely to occur along the rail corridor including:

O. Reg. 406/19: On Site and Excess Soil Management

O. Reg. 387/04: Water Taking and Transfer

O. Reg. 245/11: Registrations Under Part II.2 of the Act – General O. Reg. 63/16 – Registrations Under Part II.2 of the Act – Water Taking. The proponent has also correctly identified the requirement for a discharge agreement with the City of Toronto for the discharge of water from its short term and long term dewatering requirements. In conclusion, I have no concerns with Stantec’s (2020) report. More geological and hydrogeological detail will be provided should ministry instruments be required to complete the project.

I have also completed my review of the updated draft EPR. Other than the outstanding consultation points (highlighted in green in the draft EPR), I have no outstanding concerns. As of this email, we are waiting on comments related to Noise & Vibration and Surface Water. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks,

Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks
