DRAFT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Matrix Solutions Inc. was retained by the City of London (the City) in March 2018 to complete an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) to support the Municipal Class Schedule B Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Fork of the Thames. The Schedule B Class EA is being conducted as part of Stage 2 of the One River Master Plan EA (Master Plan). The Schedule B EA was initiated by the City, after the completion of Stage 1 of the Master Plan, upon confirmation by City Council in January 2018 that Springbank Dam will not be re-instated. The preferred Forks of the Thames alternative has been defined as a suspended walkway and softscape terracing along the eastern shoreline of the Thames River. The design is intended to re-shape the existing parkland, drawing the community to the urban centre along the waterfront. The EIS describes the significant natural heritage features and functions within the Study Area and identifies what potential impacts the preferred alternative may have on the significant features and functions. Based on the assessment, the EIS recommends strategies to avoid or mitigate the potential impacts which are incorporated into the project approval. Matrix combined information gathered from the ecological field studies with relevant information from previous background studies to characterize the natural heritage setting and identify significant features within the Study Area. The results of the significance and sensitivity analysis indicated the presence of several natural heritage features and functions, including Significant Valleylands, Significant Wildlife Habitat (SWH), fish and aquatic habitat, and Species at Risk (SAR) within the Study Area. The potential effects that may be caused by the implementation of the preferred alternative (i.e., suspended walkway ribbon design, combined with softscape bank terracing) were evaluated against the identified natural heritage features. The results of the assessment indicated that the potentially negative impacts associated with the preferred alternative are low if mitigation measures and recommendations are followed. The softscape terracing and suspended walkway, along with construction access, staging, and vegetation clearing are expected to alter the existing vegetation communities in Ivey Park. The alteration of these communities is not anticipated to have long-term negative impacts, as it primarily affects non-native and invasive vegetation species which are currently present within the project area. The non-native and invasive species will be removed as part of the London Invasive Plant Management Strategy, and replaced with native trees and shrub plantings throughout the Park as part of the softscape design. The removal of the gabion baskets along the eastern edge of the river will improve the connection between the aquatic and terrestrial environment, as well as provide more stable slope conditions along the bank. As the completed works are expected to increase the level of pedestrian activity within Ivey Park, this should not result in additional impacts as this park is already an area of high human presence. Strategic accessibility, monitoring, and signage are recommended during the detailed design phase to direct the 24504-528 Forks of the Thames EIS 2019-03-29 draft V0.3.docx iv Matrix Solutions Inc. DRAFT public away from any sensitive areas within the Thames River. No SAR or Species of Conservation Concern are expected to be directly impacted by the design; however, it is important to direct access to the river away from sensitive areas to avoid any indirect impacts from the public. It is recommended that consultation and permitting/approvals discussion with the appropriate regulatory authorities be conducted before any construction work is commenced. This document was reviewed by Matrix Solutions Senior Ecologist, Arnel Fausto. Their comments and recommendations have been incorporated into this report. 24504-528 Forks of the Thames EIS 2019-03-29 draft V0.3.docx v Matrix Solutions Inc.

Our thanks to: The originators of the 1977 study, our co-authors Paul Scrivener and Dale Taylor, for sticking with the project over the past 40 years, and for getting it going again. Dale and Paul provided the team with a real-life example of ‘citizen science’ in action, and a generational timeline to the past. They made this project an adventure for all of us. Good stewardship of the land is a lifelong affair, and Dale and Paul have exemplified that commitment beyond all expectations. Esther McNeil for walking into the University of Toronto, Faculty of Forestry six years ago and asking: “How can I help save the Toronto ravines?” Esther inspired us to start working in the Toronto ravines, which ultimately led to this project, this report, and a renewed interest in ravine conservation. Catherine Berka for jumping with two feet into this project from day one, and for providing an endless source of positivity, leadership, humour, community outreach, and every day hard work. The project would simply not be what it is today without the heart and soul of our other co-author, Catherine. This project has benefited tremendously from the expertise, cooperation, and guidance of many people, especially in The City of Toronto, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, local nature groups, and countless citizens.

ABSTRACI': The WeI/and River watershed drains an area of 880 km2 and is part of the Niagara River Area of Concem. As one step towards remediation, the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) was used to estimate soil erosion inputs to the river from each of the 34 sub-basins in the watershed. An innovative approach using risk and uncertainty analysis was incorporated into the conventional USLE estimates in order to address concems about uncertainty due to the variability of the USLE parameters across the WeI/and River watershed. This paper describes the methodology for the statistical approach to the USLE and those sub-basins with high potential soil loss were identified. INTRODUCflON (USLE) was used to estimate soil erosion rates for each of the 34 sub-basins in the watershed.
