1. Introduction

Terrapure Environmental (Terrapure), owner and operator of the Stoney Creek Regional Facility (SCRF; Facility), has initiated an Individual Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Ontario EA Act seeking approval to provide an additional 3,680,000 cubic meters (m3) of disposal capacity to their SCRF through a reconfiguration of the site back to its original Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change-approved footprint. This reconfiguration would allow Terrapure to utilize the existing space more efficiently while retaining the same overall geographic size of the site.

Terrapure's SCRF has been an important part of the local community since it was approved by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change in 1996. The existing SCRF is only permitted to accept solid, non-hazardous residual materials from commercial, industrial and institutional sources. These are truly "end of life" materials that have exhausted all recycling options. Putrescible waste (i.e., municipal solid waste, organic material) disposal is not permitted at the SCRF. The total approved capacity under the Environmental Protection Act approvals at the existing SCRF is 6,320,000 m3 with an approved maximum annual volume of 750,000 tonnes of solid, non-hazardous industrial residual materials. The proposed changes would not change the type or annual volume of materials currently accepted at the facility, nor the maximum number of vehicles to the site per day.

The SCRF is expected to reach capacity in the next 16 to 22 years, accepting a combination of residual material and industrial soils or "fill," which is required to bring the site to final grade. By changing the configuration of the site and accepting more residual materials than industrial soils, it is expected that the SCRF may be able to close sooner than currently anticipated (within 13-20 years) because the market for residuals is much stronger and more consistent than that for soils.

The EA Act requires that proponents describe the environment that may potentially be affected or may reasonably be expected to be affected, directly or indirectly, by the alternatives and the undertaking proposed as part of an EA. As such, this report characterizes the land use and social environment existing conditions presently found at the SCRF.

2. Study Areas

From a Land Use and Social perspective, the characterization of existing conditions within the following study areas are appropriate to this EA:

• Site Study Area, including all lands (41.5 ha (102.5 acres)) within the existing, approved boundaries of the SCRF, as defined by Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) No. A181008, dated May 16, 2016, as amended.

• Local Study Area, including all lands within 1500 metres of the Site Study Area boundaries. An inventory of sensitive uses within 500 metres of the Site Study Area is also examined.

The Land Use study areas are illustrated in Figure 2.1, below.

3. Methodology

3.1 Available Secondary Source Information Collection and Review

Available secondary sources of information were collected and reviewed to characterize Land Use and Social existing conditions within the Study Areas. The following sources of secondary information were collected and reviewed:

• Bill 151, Waste-Free Ontario Act, 1996 • Ontario Planning Act • Provincial Policy Statement (2014)

• Provincial Guideline D-1: Land Use Compatibility

• Provincial Guideline D-4: Land Use On or Near Landfills and Dumps

• Urban Hamilton Official Plan (2013)

• Rural Hamilton Official Plan (2012)

• City of Stoney Creek Zoning By-law No. 3692-92

• City of Hamilton Zoning By-law No. 05-200

• City of Hamilton Ward Profiles – Ward 9 (2011)

• Stoney Creek Community Profile (2009)

• Statistics Canada – Niagara West – Glanbrook National Household Survey (NHS) Profile (2011)

• Most recent aerial photos available of the Study Area

3.1.1 Bill 151, Waste-Free Ontario Act, 2016

The Waste Free Ontario Act is an omnibus bill with a number of parts to it, including three pieces of legislation and an overall Strategy. One component of the proposed Bill would require the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change to develop and maintain a Strategy to support the provincial interest, regarding resource recovery and waste reduction. The draft Strategy for a Waste Free Ontario: Building the Circular Economy is intended to support the provincial interests regarding resource recovery and waste reduction.

A key area of the Draft Strategy reflects on the continued need for landfills in Ontario as part of the overall waste management solutions. The specific section (Section 3.0, pp 26-27) is as follows:

Ensure Landfills are Well Planned and Managed to Minimize the Need for Landfills

Ontario is a leader in setting strict landfill standards and requirements. The province has groundwater protection limits to safeguard drinking water and design requirements for leachate collection systems unsurpassed by any other jurisdiction in North America.

GHD | Report for Terrapure Environmental – Land Use & Socio-Economic Existing Conditions Report | 11102771 (11) | 3 DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION

With population growth and an increase in the amount of waste generated, the province will continue to look for innovative ways to reduce the impact that landfills have on the environment and slow the number of landfills needed within the next two decades.

While Ontario works towards its goal of a zero waste there will still be a need for landfill space. As part of the proposed strategy, the province would carefully consider the need and location of new landfills to ensure proposals for new or expanded capacity continue to undergo rigorous review to protect adjacent communities.

The province will continue to work to minimize the need for landfills by targeting larger waste streams, increasing the diversion of organics and waste coming from the IC&I sectors, and by considering landfill bans. The size of landfills would also be considered to ensure there is adequate capacity, reducing the need for multiple new landfills.

While Ontario works towards its goal of zero waste, there will still be a need for landfill space, particularly as it relates to the redevelopment and intensification of property within the Hamilton and Greater Toronto Area. The Strategy also discusses how the Province would carefully consider the need and location of landfills, including the expansion of existing sites. Increasing the capacity at the existing Terrapure SCRF would ensure that wastes generated locally within Hamilton would continue to be disposed of at a Regional facility, as close to the generated wastes as possible. This would then negate the need to develop a new landfill within the City of Hamilton.

3.1.2 Ontario Planning Act

The Ontario Planning Act is the principal legislation governing all planning matters in Ontario. Matters of provincial interest, defined in the Ontario Planning Act, which influence provincial and municipal regulatory framework for waste management facilities include:

• The protection of ecological systems, including natural areas, features and functions;

• The adequate provision and efficient use of waste management systems; and

• The protection of public health and safety.

3.1.3 Provincial Policy Statement (2014)

The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) (2014) sets the framework for the provincial government's long term land use vision for how Ontario lands and resources are managed. Section 1.6.10 of the PPS (2014) refers to waste management system, which states (Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, 2014):

1.6.10.1 Waste management systems need to be provided that are of an appropriate size and type to accommodate present and future requirements, and facilitate, encourage and promote reduction, reuse and recycling objectives. Planning authorities should consider the implications of development and land use patterns on waste generation, management and diversion.

Waste management systems shall be located and designed in accordance with provincial legislation and standards.

The existing Terrapure SCRF has been operating in compliance with Provincial approvals since the sites approval in 1996.

3.1.4 Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Provincial Guidelines D-1: Land Use Compatibility & D-4: Land Use On or Near Landfills and Dumps

The Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) has developed two relevant guidelines regarding land use in vicinity to landfills. Guideline D-1: Land Use Compatibility identifies recommended separation distances and control measures for sensitive land uses with respect to landfills in order to minimize potential adverse effects (Ministry of the Environment, 1995). Guideline D-1 is also applicable when considering proposed sensitive land uses with the potential influence area of an existing landfill facility. Guideline D-4: Land Use On or Near Landfills and Dumps Guideline works in collaboration with Guideline D-1 and provides direction for the restriction of land uses in vicinity of landfills. D-4 recommends that sensitive land uses be restricted within a 500 m of the fill area. Sensitive land uses is relation to the operation of landfills are defined as the following (Ministry of the Environment, 1994):

1. A permanent structure used in animal husbandry

2. Agricultural land used for pasturing livestock

3. A permanent structure where:

a. A person sleeps

b. A person is present on a full time basis but not including food or motor vehicle service facilities adjacent to a highway, utility operations, scrap yards, heavy industrial uses, gravel pits, quarries, mining or forestry activities; or

c. Cemeteries

However, Guideline D-4 also recognizes that actual influence areas for individual landfills vary and are dependent on a number factors.

3.1.5 Urban Hamilton Official Plan (2013) & Rural Hamilton Official Plan (2012)

The Urban and Rural Hamilton Official Plans set the framework for land use policy and future goals of the City of Hamilton and respective settlement areas. The Urban Hamilton Official Plan (2013) applies to all lands located within the designated urban area of the City of Hamilton. The Urban Hamilton Official Plan was adopted by Council on July 9, 2009 and came into effect on August 16, 2013.

The Terrapure SCRF falls within the jurisdiction of the Urban Hamilton Official Plan. However, the Local Study Area boundary extends into area designated under the Rural Hamilton Official Plan.

The Rural Hamilton Official Plan (2012) applies to all lands located within the designated rural area of the City of Hamilton. The Rural Hamilton Official Plan was adopted by Council on September 27, 2006 and came into effect on March 7, 2012.

3.1.6 City of Stoney Creek Zoning By-law No. 3692-92 & City of Hamilton Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 05-200

Presently the City of Hamilton has seven Zoning By-laws in effect. Currently the Study Areas conform with two Hamilton Zoning By-laws; the City of Stoney Creek Zoning By-law No. 3692-92 and City of Hamilton's Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 05-200.

3.1.7 City of Hamilton Ward Profiles – Ward 9

The City of Hamilton prepared ward profiles for all 15 City wards in 2011. These reports provide an overview of the features, assets and various indicators of socio-demographic characteristics within each ward. These profiles compile data from Statistics Canada, the City of Hamilton's Planning and Economic Development Department, Planning and Economic Development Department, Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, Teranet, and the City's Official Plan and Parks Committee.

3.1.8 Stoney Creek Community Profile

Community Profiles were developed in 2009 for each community within the City of Hamilton to aid in understanding the unique social characteristics important to each as well as actions that might be taken to respond to changing conditions and to continue to improve city life. Despite being a few years out of date, the Stoney Creek Community Profile includes information useful to the characterization of socio-economic existing conditions, such as historic population growth and community demographics.

3.1.9 Niagara West – Glanbrook NHS Profile

The NHS profile for Niagara West-Glanbrook from the most recent Statistics Canada census data provides detailed community demographic information, current to 2011.

3.2 Process Undertaken

An analysis was undertaken to gain an understanding and clearly document the characteristics of existing land uses with the Site Study Area and the Local Study Area. All applicable municipal and provincial regulatory planning documents were considered in identifying existing conditions for both Study areas, as identified in Section 3.1. This review of existing land use conditions also considers the MOECC's Provincial Guidelines D-1 and D-4, in order to identify land uses potentially sensitive to the SCRF's activities within the Local Study Area.

The land use and social environment within the Study Areas as well as at the larger community scale was documented through a review of the planning documents and demographic information sources listed above, analysis of aerial photographs, and confirmatory site visits.
