CARRIED _________________________________________ 637 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION RES.#B165/12 - GREENLANDS ACQUISITION PROJECT 2011-2015 Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Duffin's Creek Watershed Ravenscroft Holdings Inc., CFN 48446. Acquisition of property located west of Ravenscroft Road and north of Rossland Road in the Town of Ajax, Regional Municipality of Durham, under the 'Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015', Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Duffin's Creek watershed. Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Glenn De Baeremaeker THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 4.29 hectares (10.6 acres), more or less, of vacant land, being Part of Lot 13, Concession 3 and designated as Block 62 on 40M-2436 by J.D. Barnes Limited, Town of Ajax, Regional Municipality of Durham, be purchased from Ravenscroft Holdings Inc.; THAT the purchase price be $2.00; THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) receive conveyance of the land free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements; THAT the firm of Gardiner Roberts LLP, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs, and disbursements are to be paid; AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take the necessary action to finalize the transaction including obtaining all necessary approvals and the signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A94/10 at Authority Meeting #5/10, held on June 25, 2010, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015. As a condition of a subdivision agreement, Ravenscroft Holdings Inc. is to transfer the valleylands to TRCA for a nominal consideration of $2.00. Negotiations have been conducted with Barbara Inkpen of Polak, McKay & Hawkshaw, representative of the owner. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA’s approved master plan for acquisition for the Duffins Creek watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015. Through the review of the subdivision, TRCA staff established the limits of the open space lands (i.e. Block 62 on 40M-2436) which is comprised of valleylands. 638 TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Based on preliminary review of the environmental criteria for lands that are eligible to receive a property tax exemption under the provincial Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program, it would appear that all of the subject property would be eligible for exemption for the 2014 taxation year. The addition of the subject parcel of land will not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs at this location. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the costs related to this purchase are available in the TRCA land acquisition capital account. Report prepared by: Edlyn Wong, extension 5711 Emails: [email protected] For Information contact: Edlyn Wong, extension 5711, Mike Fenning, extension 5223 Emails: [email protected], [email protected] Date: November 16, 2012 Attachments: 1 639 Attachment 1 _________________________________________ 640 RES.#B166/12 - REQUEST FOR DISPOSAL OF TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY-OWNED LAND 537 Conservation Drive, City of Brampton, CFN 47906. Recommends that the TRCA-owned rental property located at 537 Conservation Drive, City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel, Etobicoke Creek watershed be retained for conservation purposes. Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Ben Cachola THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)-owned rental property located at 537 Conservation Drive, City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel, be retained for conservation purposes. CARRIED BACKGROUND A letter has been received from Ms. Renee Clarke of Royal LePage Credit Valley Real Estate who is acting on behalf of a client that wishes to purchase the TRCA-owned rental property located at 537 Conservation Drive in the City of Brampton. This rental property is part of a larger parcel acquired from Allan E. Taylor on December 17, 1956, under the Heart Lake Conservation Area Project. At Executive Committee Meeting #7/12, held on September 7, 2012, Resolution #B118/12 was approved as follows: THAT the potential disposal of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)-owned rental property located at 537 Conservation Drive, City of Brampton, be referred to TRCA staff for review and discussion in accordance with established TRCA policies; AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action. This request was circulated to staff of the City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel and TRCA for review and comment. The following comments have been received: City of Brampton Staff Comments City staff has no interest nor any concerns with the potential disposal of the subject land. Regional Municipality of Peel Staff Comments The subject area is considered to be Core Regional Greenlands based on core woodlands, partially core valleylands and a Provincially Significant Wetland along the Heart Lake shoreline. It is also within a Regional significant Earth Science Area of Natural and Scientific Interest known as the Brampton Buried Esker. In addition, Heart Lake Conservation Area supports species of concern, threatened species and endangered species. The intent of the Regional Official Plan policy is to prohibit development and site alteration in Core Regional Greenlands. 641 Ownership of this property by TRCA provides permanent protection to the ecosystem, limits potential loss of mature hardwood forest features and functions and degradation of remaining natural areas, mitigation against climate change as well as provides a continued source of rental revenue and surveillance of that part of Heart Lake Conservation Area. Furthermore, continued ownership by TRCA implements Regional Official Plan policies, strategies and programs related to Greenlands stewardship and climate change. It is, therefore, recommended that TRCA retain this parcel since disposal would not fulfill Regional Official Plan objectives as well as directions provided by TRCA's Etobicoke Creek Watershed Strategy plans and objectives and the Heart Lake Conservation Area master Plan. TRCA Staff Comments The house located at 537 Conservation Drive has been rented by TRCA for over 20 years and the current tenants are taking very good care of the property.

The proposed facility consists of two 21m diameter vessels, a 38m diameter, open storage vessel and an engine / control building housing the initial 500kW engine as well as a series of smaller input and processing tanks. The proposed site development is indicated in Figure No. 1. 2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS The site of the Biogas plant is located on the lands currently used for the Zoo’s composting operation. It is flat and devoid of vegetation cover and has been modified to accommodate the composting operation. The site is surrounded by a 2 meter high berm that was constructed as part of the compost operation. The area slopes slightly to the south and east and is over 200 metres from the water’s edge of the Little Rouge River. Elevations within the perimeter berms range from 132.4 m. in the south west corner of the site down to 130.6 m in the north east corner of the site.

Vaisala’s novel DIAL system operates autonomously outdoors and measures the vertical profile of water vapor within the boundary layer 24 h a day during all weather conditions. Eight nights of measurements in June and July 2018 were used for the Toronto water vapor lidar inter-comparison field campaign. Both lidars provided reliable atmospheric backscatter and water vapor profile measurements. Comparisons were performed during night-time observations only, when the York Raman lidar could measure the water vapor profile. The purpose was to validate the water vapor profile measurements retrieved by the new DIAL system. The results indicate good agreement between the two lidars, with a mean difference (DIAL–Raman) of 0.17 0.14 g/kg. There were two main causes for differences in their ± measurements: horizontal displacement between the two lidar sites (3.2 km) and vertical gradients in the water vapor profile.
