    SCHEDULE B MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT – PROJECT FILE GERMAN MILLS SETTLERS PARK SANITARY INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION PROJECT Contact: Phil Wolfraim, C.E.T. Project Manager, Engineering Projects Restoration & Infrastructure Division Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 9755 Canada Company Avenue, Vaughan, ON, L4H 0A3 [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) continues to work towards promoting healthy rivers and shorelines, protection of greenspaces and biodiversity, and sustainable communities to improve people’s lives within our growing region. The Region of York Environmental Services and TRCA Engineering Projects collectively operate the Integrated Infrastructure Protection Works Program to monitor, design and implement remedial erosion control works to protect at risk Region of York infrastructure. The Leslie Collector sewer has been identified to be at risk of exposure from natural creek erosion and migration at several locations along German Mills Creek. The study area is located within German Mills Settlers Park, in the City of Markham and commences approximately 660 metres south of John Street. The study area includes Leslie Collector maintenance holes MH6 to MH10 that corresponds with infrastructure erosion hazard Sites I-152, P-060, P-062, P-065, P-068 and I-151. The German Mills Settlers Park Sanitary Infrastructure Protection Project is being completed in accordance with a Schedule B Municipal Water and Wastewater Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA). The focus of this study is to assess the level of risk to infrastructure and the environment, provide preliminary design alternatives, and proceed through the MCEA. As required under the Schedule B MCEA planning process, a public information session has been held over the course of the study with input being sought from any interested agencies, community members and First Nations groups.

G. Johnson and G. Owen BIOLOGY BRANCH February, 1966 BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF GERMAN MILLS CREEK - 1965 A biological survey of German Mills Creek was carried out in September, 1965, to supplement an assimilation study completed in May, 1965 by the Water Quality Surveys Branch, Sanitary Engineering Division. Biological parameters are useful in assessing water quality because they integrate water quality over a period of several months prior to the survey. As well, biological data provide direct evidence of damage because of impaired water quality. DESCRIPTION OF STREAM The stream rises within the municipal boundaries of the Town of Richmond Hill. At the time of the biological survey, immediately below Richmond Hill, the stream flowed at a rate of about 2 cfs in a channel 3 feet wide and 12 feet deep. Most of the volume was treatment-plant effluent from the activated sludge plant in Richmond Hill which has a present capacity of 1.6 mgd.
