The permit will be held in abeyance until all outstanding technical requirements have been adequately addressed and the conditions of permanent easement approval have been satisfied.

A temporary working easement will not be required as part of the proposed construction.

The subject TRCA lands were acquired from Geminian Builders Limited on September 1, 1994 under Land Acquisition Project - 1987-1991 - Flood Plain and Valley Land Component - Humber River Watershed.

Plantings: All lands disturbed by construction will be stabilized and, where deemed appropriate by TRCA staff, revegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant material in accordance with existing TRCA landscaping guidelines. A landscape plan will be prepared and form part of the permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06.

A plan illustrating the permanent easement location is attached.

FINANCIAL DETAILS The City of Vaughan has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing this transaction.

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Glenn De Baeremaeker

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is the owner of the Guild Inn and the City of Toronto leases the subject lands;

AND WHEREAS TRCA is in receipt of a request from Centennial College and the City of Toronto to enter into agreements for the revitalization and redevelopment of the Guild Inn;

AND WHEREAS it is in the best interest of TRCA in furthering its objectives, as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act to enter into these agreements in this instance;

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA officials be directed to take the following actions:

CARRIED

501 BACKGROUND TRCA is the owner of the Guild Inn (Attachment 1) and has entered into a lease of the buildings and lands with the City of Toronto. Under the terms of the lease, the City of Toronto assumes all responsibility for the 88 acres of Guild Inn lands and buildings to September 1, 2083. The city has sought proposals for redevelopment and revitalization of the Guild Inn on several occasions, most recently from Centennial College.

The city is proposing to enter into a binding letter of intent whereby about 6.76 acres of the 88 acres will be subleased to Centennial College. Centennial College will operate its Institute of Cultural and Heritage Management from the site using the Bickford Residence. Centennial College will partner with a city approved developer/hotel operator to build a 120 room hotel, spa, restaurant and conference centre. The new centre involving an investment of about $30 million will also create workplace and learning opportunities for students in Centennial's School of Hospitality and Tourism.

Attachment 2 is from a City of Toronto report illustrating the leased area. Attachment 3 is a second document from the city briefly describing the project.

RATIONALE The city has negotiated a mutually satisfactory term sheet which will lead to the signing of a binding letter of intent to enter into a sub lease with Centennial. The City of Toronto Government Management Committee has approved the project and a recommendation will be before City Council in July, 2009.

TRCA will have an opportunity to review with City of Toronto staff the project as proposed and to consider any implications for the adjacent lands. As proposed, the Centennial College project is superior to other proposals considered by the city in terms of protection of natural areas. Among aspects of the project of relevance and importance to TRCA are: z approval of site plan, boundaries, regulatory limits, access routes, walkways and access to the bluffs; z financing arrangements; z protection of TRCA interests in terms of insurance, indemnities and security for construction and other matters; z TRCA release from any damages arising from erosion of the bluffs; and z TRCA in its capacity as landowner and as a statutory regulator.

TRCA and its solicitors will work with city staff to ensure that TRCA interests are protected.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Under the terms of the Guild Inn lease with the City of Toronto, and consistent with the management agreement between TRCA and the city, the city is responsible for all costs related to the management and development of the Guild Inn. TRCA will incur modest legal costs to ensure that TRCA interests are protected.

502 TRCA staff have also met directly with representatives of Centennial College who have indicated an interest in TRCA continuing its stabilization work along the Scarborough shoreline and the provision of trail connections to the Guild Inn property from the east and west. The gap in the waterfront trail along the Scarborough shoreline of Lake Ontario is the most significant within the TRCA's area of jurisdiction. TRCA staff are preparing funding estimates for future federal and provincial infrastructure stimulus programs to begin to address this work.

______506 RES.#B84/09 - PROVINCIAL POLICY FRAMEWORK ON ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION Release of Provincial Policy Framework on Environmental Education

Moved by: Suzan Hall Seconded by; Glenn De Baeremaeker

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff continue to work with the Ministry of Education to support the implementation of the Policy Framework on Environmental Education;

THAT staff continue to advocate to the Ministry of Education and other relevant ministries and agencies for a stable funding strategy in support of environmental education programs and infrastructure;

AND FURTHER THAT staff continue to report on education program developments and provincial policy initiatives that are relevant to TRCA education programs and facilities. CARRIED BACKGROUND Ontario Working Group on Environmental Education In March of 2007 the Ministry of Education’s Curriculum Council appointed a working group to examine how Ontario’s students learn about the environment. Chaired by Dr. Roberta Bondar, the working group was comprised of Dr. Eleanor Dudar (Toronto District School Board), Dr. Allan Foster (former Manager of the Kortright Centre for Conservation), Dr. Michael Fox (Trent University), Catherine Mahler (Ontario EcoSchools), Pam Swartzberg (Learning for a Sustainable Future) and Marlene Walsh (Canadian Ecology Centre). As a critical part of the review process, the panel released a call for input from stakeholders across the province, with a goal of synthesizing available and submitted information into a report to the Curriculum Council to provide recommendations on how to best support student learning on the environment.

Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA), through Conservation Ontario (CO), provided input and recommendations on how to address environmental education in the classroom, the outdoors and as it relates to curriculum and the whole-school community. This submission included a series of recommendations that identified significant systemic gaps, structural challenges and proposed solutions.

The results of the working group were released in report on June 22, 2007 entitled Shaping Our Schools, Shaping Our Future. This report has since become known simply as The Bondar Report and contained a key conclusion that the Ministry of Education develop a provincial environmental education policy. As well, The Bondar Report provided thirty two specific recommendations organized into three distinct domains: z Leadership and accountability; z Curriculum; and z Teaching and resources.

507 The thirty-two recommendations included within The Bondar Report represent a significant first step in the process of inserting environmental education into the provincial curriculum and into student learning while strengthening an already vital and vibrant outdoor education system. Taken as a whole, the recommendations create a foundation for the integration of environmental learning across all strands and subject areas of the curriculum, acknowledging the interconnectedness of environment and environmental issues throughout all aspects of a student’s education. In this regard, of specific importance was the inclusion of a definition of environmental education in the report that stressed not only developing an appreciation of natural systems but also the importance of understanding the dynamic interactions that occur between natural and human-created systems, along with the need for 'active experience in' the environment:

Environmental education is education about the environment, for the environment, and in the environment that promotes an understanding of, rich and active experience in, and an appreciation for the dynamic interactions of:

z The Earth’s physical and biological systems z The dependency of our social and economic systems on these natural systems z The scientific and human dimensions of environmental issues z The positive and negative consequences, both intended and unintended, of the interactions between human-created and natural systems.

At the release of the Bondar Report, the Honourable Kathleen Wynne, Minister of Education, applauded the efforts of the working group and all who provided input. Acknowledging that environmental education is an integral aspect of student learning, Minister Wynne committed to implementing all thirty-two of the report’s recommendations.

A Policy Framework on Environmental Education As a result of The Bondar Report, the Ministry of Education began the development of a Policy Framework for Environmental Education that would provide a vision and model for implementation of the thirty-two recommendations. The development of this policy framework included a series of consultations with stakeholder groups on a draft framework which were held in October of 2008. TRCA, as a representative of Conservation Ontario, participated in the consultation process and provided feedback on the specific strategies and proposed implementation measures.

Acting Today, Shaping Tomorrow, A Policy Framework on Environmental Education, was released by the Ministry of Education on February 25, 2009 at a two day Environmental Education Symposium for teams of administrators, curriculum consultants, teachers and practitioners from school boards across the province. Held in Toronto, the symposium provided an opportunity for the representatives from school boards to meet and share effective practices and resources to support the implementation of the new policy framework.

The symposium included opportunities for environmental education stakeholders, including other government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), practitioners associations, private outdoor education operators and conservation authorities to lead workshops and presentations on environmental education programs and practices. TRCA staff presented three workshops to 155 of the approximately 700 participants. The workshops provided were: 508 z A Systems Thinking Approach: Nancy McGee and Lindsay Bunce; z Getting Hands-On with Climate Change in the Elementary Classroom: Adrian O’Driscoll and Vicki Puterbough; and z Reduce Your School’s Carbon Footprint – A Focus on Renewable Energy: Alex Waters.

Overview of the Policy Framework Acting Today, Shaping Tomorrow, A Policy Framework on Environmental Education, is comprised of three key focus goals: 1. Teaching and Learning: By the end of Grade 12, students will acquire knowledge, skills and perspectives that foster understanding of their fundamental connections to each other, to the world around them and to all living things. 2. Student Engagement and Community Connections: Increase student engagement by fostering active participation in environmental projects and building links between schools and communities. 3. Environmental Leadership: Increase the capacity of system leaders to implement evidence- based environmental education programming, practices and operations.

Within each goal, the policy document includes a number of strategies and actions that are broken down into the following areas of responsibility: z The Ministry of Education; z School Boards; and z Schools.

Within this, the Ministry of Education, school boards and schools will be responsible for measuring success through reporting based on status indicators, facilitative indicators and effect indicators. Taken together, these indicators provide mechanisms for planning and measuring success as it relates to the policy framework.

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE In April of 2009, TRCA began a strategic planning process to provide a framework for current and future education directions and strategies while responding to the Acting Today, Shaping Tomorrow policy. Work on the TRCA Education Strategic Plan included comprehensive facilitated staff input, as well as stakeholder consultation. The TRCA Education Strategic Plan is anticipated to be completed by autumn of 2009.

TRCA currently operates five education centres and a number of outreach education programs that service students from the elementary, secondary and post-secondary school systems. In 2008, approximately 175,000 students participated in TRCA programs that provide curriculum-linked learning in the fields of environmental, cultural, historical and sustainability education. In response to The Bondar Report, and more recently the Acting Today, Shaping Tomorrow Policy Framework, TRCA has undertaken a number of strategic initiatives to meet the existing and expanding needs of the formal education system. Below is a brief list of these initiatives: z TRCA Teacher Professional Development Strategy: includes specific actions for engaging pre-service and in-service teachers in professional development activities, along with strategies for capacity and profile building and measurement indicators.

509 z Bridging the Gap: A Roundtable on Environmental and Sustainability Education in the Toronto Region: Led by TRCA and launched in November, 2008, this brings together stakeholders from over 35 organizations, including the Ministry of Education, school boards, conservation authorities, NGOs and other education providers to develop an integrated strategy for planning, developing, funding and implementing current and future collaborative work in environmental and sustainability education. z Ongoing review and revitalization of TRCA education programs and assets to meet new and emerging learning trends: TRCA education staff regularly review education programs to ensure curriculum links are met and the programming reflects The Living City vision. In addition to this, ongoing investment in program materials, supplies and equipment ensures that students have the appropriate tools and experiences necessary to support successful learning. z Ontario EcoSchools: All five of TRCA’s education centres are certified EcoSchools and model excellent occupancy and operational behaviour to mitigate the climate change effects of our operations. TRCA is the lead agency supporting the implementation of the Ontario EcoSchools program in all schools in the Regional Municipality of Peel within the next five to seven years. Staff expertise in providing leadership and training on EcoSchools is utilized by both the Toronto and Toronto Catholic district school boards through student workshops and teacher training. The four key pillars of EcoSchools are: Waste Minimization, Energy Conservation, Ecological Literacy and School Ground Greening. z Interaction with the Ministry of Education: TRCA, both individually and through Conservation Ontario, is in regular contact with the Ministry of Education to discuss opportunities for collaboration and potential areas for future work. Staff from the Ministry of Education participate in a number of initiatives and working groups in which TRCA is actively involved and this relationship is an important part of understanding and responding to provincial needs and directions. In addition to this, TRCA staff continue to work with the province and other government agencies to secure student funding for outdoor and environmental education programs and infrastructure funding for outdoor and environmental education centres to support the revitalization of learning assets and improved energy efficiency of the buildings and structures within which student learning takes place.

RATIONALE The tender selection process included a review of the prices submitted and an assessment of previous performance in a number of areas including, but not limited to, similar work experience, quality of work, and health and safety.

Prices submitted by Blue Star Construction Corp., and Sartor and Susin Ltd. were the two most competitive bids, with Blue Star being overall marginally lower than Sartor and Susin.

Staff reviewed the proposal submitted by Blue Star and reviewed additional reference material that was requested post tender. In addition, staff met with a representative of the company and toured the sites considered representative of both the type of work and environmental situations encountered by TRCA. Upon review it was determined that although Blue Star had extensive expertise in the area of bulk excavation and site preparation work, they did not have any expertise with works of an environmental nature such as the work identified in the tender documents.

Sartor and Susin Ltd. have worked on numerous successful environmental projects over many years with TRCA. In addition, they have over 40 years of expertise in environmental construction, and are capable of addressing TRCA’s project needs for the next 12 months.

513 Staff recommend awarding the contract to Sartor and Susin Ltd.. In the event the company is unable to supply all of the specified equipment needed during peak construction periods, staff will solicit services from the Blue Star Construction Corp.. This will be dependent on what equipment is specified and will help to ensure that equipment is always available.

FINANCIAL DETAILS The value of this contract is estimated to be approximately $2,000,000 based upon a review of similar workloads in previous years. An increase or decrease in workload will have an impact on the value of this contract. The contractor understands both the potential cost and resource implications associated with potential workload changes. The operated equipment is rented on an 'as required' basis with no minimum or maximum rental hours guaranteed.

Funds for the contract are identified in TRCA's 2009 and 2010 Capital Budgets.

SECTION II - ITEMS FOR EXECUTIVE ACTION

RES.#B86/09 - TERRANOVA DEVELOPMENTS LTD. AND CITY OF TORONTO ONTARIO MUNICIPAL BOARD HEARING 148 and 156 Rowntree Mill Road City of Toronto, Etobicoke - York Community Council Area Humber River Watershed. To obtain party status before the Ontario Municipal Board in regard to 148 and 156 Rowntree Mill Road, City of Toronto, Humber River watershed.

Moved by: Suzan Hall Seconded by: Glenn De Baeremaeker

THAT authorization be given for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff to obtain party status before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) regarding proposed plan of subdivision and zoning by-law amendment applications and any other associated applications under the Planning Act, to permit a residential development at 148 and 156 Rowntree Mill Road, that is not in conformity with TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program;

THAT staff continue to work cooperatively with the City of Toronto and the appellants to ensure that the requirements of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Plan are met;

THAT staff be authorized to retain legal counsel to pursue this appeal before the OMB; 514 AND FURTHER THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so advised.

AMENDMENT RES.#B87/09

Moved by: Suzan Hall Seconded by: Glenn De Baeremaeker

THAT the following be inserted after the main motion:

AND FURTHER THAT the CAO's Office advise the City of Toronto Clerk's Office, City Planning, and Mayor and members of Council.

THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED

THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED

THE RESULTANT MOTION READS AS FOLLOWS:

THAT staff continue to work cooperatively with the City of Toronto and the appellants to ensure that the requirements of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Plan are met;

THAT staff be authorized to retain legal counsel to pursue this appeal before the OMB;

THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so advised;

AND FURTHER THAT the CAO's Office advise the City of Toronto Clerk's Office, City Planning, and Mayor and members of Council.

BACKGROUND 148 and 156 Rowntree Mill Road are located in the vicinity of Finch Avenue West and Islington Avenue in the City of Toronto and are entirely below top of the bank associated with the Humber River Valley. The lands are adjacent to the flood plain and regulated under Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Attachment 1).

515 The applicant is proposing to demolish two existing single family dwellings and subdivide the two existing lots into 9 single family lots to be serviced by a new public roadway (cul-de-sac). The Planning Act application is for subdivision and to amend the zoning by-law of the former City of North York to permit 9 new lots and roadway. Currently the zoning permits only a single family dwelling on each of the two lots. The application has been appealed to the OMB by the proponents as a result of Toronto City Council refusing the application for a similar proposal for 12 new lots in October of 2007.

TRCA staff has submitted comments on the application to the City of Toronto's Planning Division. Staff comments explain that new development is generally not permitted within valley lands under the jurisdiction of the TRCA and the proposal represents a serious deviation from the policies and program objectives of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. Furthermore, in the opinion of TRCA staff the application does not meet the environmental and natural heritage policy objectives of the relevant Official Plans of the City of Toronto and former City of North York.

RATIONALE A five day hearing date has been set by the OMB for July 20, 2009. The applicant did not consult TRCA in April of 2008 when the appeal was originally filed with the OMB. TRCA officially learned of the appeal on May 20, 2009 when the Appointment for Hearing Notice from the OMB was received. As a result of the short notice, TRCA's solicitor and key planning witness are unable to attend the hearing. TRCA filed a motion with the OMB requesting that the hearing be scheduled for a later date and that it be subject to a pre-hearing, given the number of issues. TRCA is also seeking legal costs from the appellant for preparing and filing the motion.

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff is requesting the authorization of the Authority to represent TRCA interests and provide expert advice at the OMB in order to defend the policies of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. Staff will continue to work with the parties and participants to the hearing to resolve the issues, and will represent TRCA interests in advance of the hearing.

______517 RES.#B88/09 - DUNPAR DEVELOPMENTS INC. AND CITY OF TORONTO ONTARIO MUNICIPAL BOARD HEARING 51 Lake Shore Drive City of Toronto, Etobicoke - York Community Council Area Lake Ontario Shoreline. To obtain party status before the Ontario Municipal Board in regard to 51 Lake Shore Drive, City of Toronto, Etobicoke-York Community Area, Lake Ontario Shoreline.

Moved by: Maja Prentice Seconded by: Glenn De Baeremaeker

THAT authorization be given for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff to obtain party status before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) regarding proposed official plan and zoning by-law amendment applications and any other associated applications under the Planning Act, to permit a residential development at 51 Lake Shore Drive, that is not in conformity with TRCA's Shoreline Management Program or the Provincial Policy Statement as it relates to Natural Hazards;

THAT staff continue to work cooperatively with the City of Toronto and the appellants to ensure that the requirements of the Shoreline Management Program and Provincial Policy Statement are met;

THAT staff be authorized to retain legal counsel to pursue this appeal before the OMB;

AND FURTHER THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject lands are located in the vicinity of Royal York Road and Lake Shore Blvd. West in the City of Toronto and contain one single family dwelling and a rear yard which abuts the Lake Ontario Shoreline (Attachment 1). The rear portion of the property is regulated under Ontario Regulation 166/06.

The applicant has filed a Planning Act Application by requesting that the City of Toronto amend its Official Plan to redesignate the rear portion of the lands from Parks and Open Space-Natural Areas to Neighborhoods in order to facilitate the construction of six semi-detached dwellings and one detached single family dwelling. The application has been appealed to the OMB by the proponents for the City of Toronto's failure to render a decision on the application within the review period allotted by the Planning Act.

TRCA staff has submitted comments on the application to the City of Toronto's Planning Division and to the applicant. Staff comments explain that the application is not supportable on the basis that a portion of the development would be located within Natural Hazard Limit (flooding and erosion). The applicant is required to provide a 10 metre structural setback to the Natural Hazard Limit in accordance with TRCA's Shoreline Management Program. The proposed development is located entirely within the 10 metre structural setback limit. TRCA staff believe that the application is contrary to the objectives of TRCA Shoreline Management Program (1980), the Provincial Policy Statement (2005) and the City of Toronto's Official Plan (2002). 518 TRCA staff has met with the city and the applicant to discuss the project on many occasions over the last two years, including a recent without prejudice meeting with the applicants solicitor.

RATIONALE No hearing date has been set. City of Toronto planning staff are preparing a report to Council recommending that the application be refused and city staff be directed to retain the necessary expert witnesses to oppose the proposed development.

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff is requesting the authorization of the Authority to represent TRCA interests and provide expert advice at the OMB in order to defend the policies of the TRCA and the Province of Ontario at a future OMB hearing. Staff will continue to work with the parties and participants to the hearing to resolve the issues, and will represent TRCA interests in advance of the hearing. The format and length of the hearing is not known at this time.

520 RES.#B89/09 - ALBION HILLS FIELD CENTRE RETROFIT Award of construction management contract for the Albion Hills Field Centre Retrofit Phase 2.

Moved by: Richard Whitehead Seconded by: Maja Prentice

THAT the contract extension for construction management services for the Albion Hills Field Centre Retrofit Phase 2 be awarded to Percon Construction Inc. on a sole source basis at a total cost not to exceed $98,945.34, plus applicable taxes.

THAT the contract extension be subject to terms and conditions satisfactory to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff and, as necessary, solicitor;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized officials be directed to take the necessary action to implement the contract extension including the signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 2007, as part of the Regional Municipality of Peel's Climate Change Mitigation Program, TRCA engaged Montgomery Sisam Architects Ltd. to undertake a facility assessment and conceptual redesign of Albion Hills Field Centre. The purpose of the assessment and redesign program was to provide a framework for major renovations and system retrofits to improve the environmental performance of the building while supporting climate change and sustainability learning programs for visiting students.

Through the assessment process and conceptual redesign phase Montgomery Sisam Architects Ltd. was asked to identify priority building areas or functions that are either specifically inefficient or have an adverse climate change impact. Early on in the process the roof was identified as a top priority for several reasons: z thermal impacts of having a dark roof; z low insulation value resulting in significant heat loss; and z degraded fascia and soffits resulting in high risk of water penetration into the building.

In October of 2008, TRCA engaged the services of Pollard Roofing, JVH, IN 2 DEEP and Platinum Painting for the completion of all roofing, masonry, carpentry and painting work at Albion Hills Field Centre respectively, this being Phase 1 of the Albion Hills Field Centre Retrofit. At this time Montgomery Sisam Architects Ltd. recommended that TRCA retain Percon Construction Inc. as construction manager for the project due to the work completed by Percon in coordination with Montgomery Sisam in developing the terms of reference and specifications for the roof replacement and associated work.

As a result, TRCA's Chief Administrative Officer approved entry into contract with Percon Construction Inc. for construction management services as follows:

"THAT the contract for construction management services for the Albion Hills Field Centre Retrofit Phase 1 be awarded to Percon Construction Inc. at a total cost not to exceed $49,614.54, plus applicable taxes."

521 In January, 2009 TRCA staff commenced preparation for Phase 2 of the Albion Hills Field Centre Retrofit. Phase 2 will significantly improve the Albion Hills Field Centre kitchen facilities, in particular, the following work will be completed: z Mechanical upgrades; z Equipment upgrades; z Electrical upgrades; z Demolitions; z Drywall upgrades; z Flooring upgrades; z Carpentry upgrades; and z Millwork upgrades.

Staff over the last number of months have worked with both Montgomery Sisam Architects and Percon Construction to finalize both the phase 2 project schedule and scope of work. The construction management costs for the proposed 14 week construction schedule is $98,945.34, excluding GST.

RATIONALE TRCA has an existing relationship with Percon Construction Inc. in their role as construction manager for Phase 1 of the Albion Hills Field Centre Retrofit. Retaining the services of Percon Construction Inc. for Phase 2 of the Albion Hills Field Centre Retrofit will ensure efficient completion of the construction phase of the project, as well as an effective and timely transition to the Albion Hills Field Centres operating season in September.

Staff therefore recommends extension of the existing contract with Percon Construction Inc. on a sole source basis as per Section 1.14.3 of TRCA's Purchasing Policy as follows:

"When the extension or reinstatement of an existing contract would prove most cost-effective or beneficial. The extension shall not exceed one year."

FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding is available through Regional Municipality of Peel capital account code 129-70.

RES.#B90/09 - BOYD CENTRE WORKSHOP/STORAGE FACILITY Award of Contract. Recommends Award of Contract for a replacement storage/workshop facility at the Boyd Centre.

522 Moved by: Richard Whitehead Seconded by: Maja Prentice

THAT the contract for the building of a replacement storage/workshop facility at the Boyd Centre be awarded to Post Farm Structures Inc. at a cost not to exceed $180,300, plus applicable taxes; it being the lowest tender that met TRCA specifications.

AND FURTHER THAT authorized staff be directed to take the action necessary to implement the contract including obtaining any approvals and the signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND Restoration Services requires the services of qualified contractors to design and construct a replacement storage and workshop facility for its Environmental Monitoring and Habitat Restoration Group. This replacement facility would be constructed near the current workshop building located at the Boyd Centre and be built within the 2009 fiscal year.

The current storage and workshop facility at Boyd was originally built as a livestock barn approximately 60 years ago. Over the years it has had numerous renovations to address the changing roles of the TRCA, and most recently is being used as a wood working shop and storage facility. This building's function was appropriate for the first few years of Restoration Services operations at Boyd. However, the Environmental Monitoring and Habitat Restoration Group has expanded its operations and equipment acquisitions over the past five years to the point that the current facility is no longer adequate to handle the increased applications, placing undo strain on the building and impacting daily operations.

The current building is also in a state of disrepair with water leakage and rotting foundation and structural beams. The structure has uncountable number of entry points for vermin to infest the building which includes rodents, raccoons and bats. As feces from these infestations are present in all rooms, health and safety is also an issue.

At present, over one hundred thousand dollars worth of equipment is stored in the building. This equipment is placed at risk due to the condition of the aging building and the potential ease of gaining illegal entry (e.g. through a broken or boarded up window or by removing the cladding from the structure).

The Boyd workshop facility is the organizational hub of Restoration Services, Environmental Monitoring and the Habitat Restoration Group's business and is integral to many projects and programs. During 2009, the group will work on no less than 70 programs and projects accounting for over 4.5 million dollars in the budget:

These activities and projects include: z Waterfront Toronto Projects; z Port Union Waterfront Park; z Mimico Linear Park; z Lower Don Naturalization; z Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan implementation; z Ashbridges Bay Environmental Assessment; z Durham Waterfront Monitoring; 523 z Department of Fisheries and Oceans Fisheries research; z Etobicoke/ Mimico/Humber/ Don/ Waterfront Habitat implementation Plans; z Lake Wilcox Habitat Improvement; z Rouge Park support; z Upper Mimico Habitat Restoration; and z Lake Ontario Waterfront Monitoring.

The Environmental Monitoring and Habitat Restoration Group has two primary activities for which it needs well organized and proper workspace in order to work efficiently and safely:

1. Environmental Monitoring Building Needs z Marine equipment storage with all the appropriate safety gear. This includes the electrofishing boat and smaller boats and motors. z Storage for monitoring equipment including sediment samplers, fisheries impoundment gear and water sampling equipment. z Support workshop area for repairs, maintenance and staging of equipment.

2. Habitat Restoration Building Needs z Agricultural equipment storage. This includes tractors, excavation equipment and associated implements. z Wood working shop for building wildlife habitat structures and building materials storage z Support workshop for repairs, maintenance and staging of equipment z Metal fabricating shop for construction of water control structures.

Proposal The Environmental Monitoring and Habitat Restoration Group has proposed that a new 21 x 12 m (70 ft x 40 ft) workshop/storage facility be constructed at the existing Boyd site to service the program needs of the group and to accommodate future growth projections.

The new workshop will incorporate a green building construction approach that will be practical and realistic, yet environmentally friendly.

Restoration Services was particularly interested in technologies that addressed the following: z Ecological site design. z Energy efficiency: efficient thermal envelopes, efficient space, lighting controls, solar lighting, alternative fuel heating. z Materials and resources: durable building envelopes and long-lived materials or assemblies, recycled-content materials, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified woods, Safer, less toxic materials, such as alternatives to chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated wood. z Waste reduction: building material reuse, job site recycling, and efficient use of materials.

An important goal of this project is to develop an environmentally responsible building on the site that can serve as a model in the region and elsewhere. TRCA’s policy is to implement financially feasible, technologically sound strategies to conserve energy and reduce our ecological footprint.

524 RATIONALE A list of building consultants was compiled and based on recommendations and local construction knowledge of the type of building that TRCA requires, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was sent to the following three building companies: z Post Farm Structures Inc.; z Alstructural Handling Inc.; and z Thermo Energy Buildings Inc.

Of the three companies that were invited to bid, Thermo Energy Buildings Inc. didn't summit a proposal. Nick Saccone, Gord MacPherson and Rick Portiss of TRCA were present for the opening of the two remaining proposals received on March 29, 2009, with the following results:

Consultant Bid (Plus GST) Post Farm Structures Inc. $180,300.00 Alstructural Handling Inc. $216,650.00 Thermo Energy Buildings Inc. No Bid

The proposals from the consultants were evaluated using the following criteria: z understanding of the assignment; z work plan, project management and scope of service; z qualification of firm and experience of staff assigned to the project; z understanding sustainable building techniques; z proposed fee and resource allocation; and z product quality controls standards and warranty.

Staff has reviewed the request for proposals and determined that there were no errors or omissions. The Post Farm Structures Inc. proposal was found to meet all the requirements as set out by TRCA’s request for proposal for this project. Post Farm Structures Inc. also proposed the lowest overall cost at $180,300 plus GST which is equivalent to $64.00 sq/foot. Therefore it is recommended that they be accepted as the building contractor for the replacement of the workshop/storage facilities at the Boyd Centre. Pending approval, it is anticipated that the new workshop will commence construction in early September and be completed by the end of November. With the completion of the new building the old workshop/barn will be demolished and the reclaimed area will be used for vehicle and construction materials storage.

FINANCIAL DETAILS Contract cost is to be charged to Restoration Services capital account 429-01.

Award of contract for consulting services related to a governance, organization and finance review of the Rouge Park Alliance.

Moved by: Glenn De Baeremaeker Seconded by: Maja Prentice

THAT the contract for consulting services related to a governance, organization and finance review of the Rouge Park Alliance be awarded to the consortium of StrategyCorp Inc./Hemson Consulting Ltd. at a total cost not to exceed $120,000, including applicable taxes.

RECORDED VOTE Maria Augimeri Yea David Barrow Yea Glenn De Baeremaeker Yea Suzan Hall Yea Jack Heath Nay Gerri Lynn O'Connor Yea Maja Prentice Yea Richard Whitehead Yea

THE MOTION WAS CARRIED

BACKGROUND At Rouge Park Alliance Meeting #5/08, the following resolution was approved:

THAT the Rouge Park Alliance approve the outline for the governance and financial review discussed in this report, and request each of the Partners (Federal Government, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, City of Toronto, Region of York, Town of Markham, Region of Durham, and Waterfront Regeneration Trust Corporation) included in the Steering Committee to appoint its member to the Committee.

Terms of References (TOR) for the review were subsequently developed by the steering committee with the assistance of Mr. Robb Ogilvie.

In 1988 the Government of Canada announced that it would provide $10 million for a wilderness reserve or heritage park to protect the Rouge River Valley System.

In January 1990, the Honourable Pauline Browes introduced a private members’ bill in the House of Commons that “the government should consider the advisability of entering into negotiations with the government of Ontario to establish a wilderness reserve or heritage park to protect the environmental uniqueness and importance of the Rouge River Valley System in Scarborough”. Although the bill was passed unanimously, negotiations between the federal and provincial governments never took place.

526 In June 1990, the Province of Ontario appointed a multi-stakeholder Rouge Park Advisory Committee to develop a recommended park plan. This committee carried out a four phase planning process that included extensive public, agency and interest group consultation and forwarded its recommendations to the Province in July 1992.

In 1994, the Province of Ontario released a Rouge Park Management Plan.

In 1995, a number of key events occurred: z the Honorable David Crombie of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust was asked by the Province of Ontario to recommend a management structure and funding framework for the park. z the federal government deposited $10 million, for the Rouge Park, with the Waterfront Regeneration Trust because the Rouge Park was not a legal entity that could receive monies on its own. z the Rouge Park Alliance was established by the Province as a voluntary, partnership organization to oversee the implementation of the Rouge Park Management Plan.

The Rouge Park Alliance's mandate is to oversee and coordinate the implementation of the Rouge Park management plans and to be an advocate for the protection, enhancement and restoration of the Rouge watershed. The Rouge Park Alliance, in consultation with partners, is responsible for: z preparing resource plans, strategic plans, organization plans and workplans; z overseeing and coordinating the implementation of the plans; z ensuring a solid financial plan; z monitoring success, amending and updating plans; z remaining a strong, informed and reasoned leader and advocate for the health, biodiversity and the integrity of the Rouge Park; and z ensuring that an ecosystem perspective is maintained.

The founders established the Alliance as a start-up mechanism to forge the partnerships during the tenuous initial years. It was never envisioned as the final organizational form or model. However, this start-up mechanism was never succeeded or replaced by a formal/legal entity. As a result, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and other members voluntarily stepped in and helped the park operate under a wide variety of creative interim approaches.

In 1997, the Rouge Park Alliance retained the services of the LURA Consulting Group to review and recommend a new organizational and financing model, however very little was done with the review. TRCA took some steps to provide administrative and real estate support but the funding issues were not resolved.

In 2001, the Rouge Park Alliance released the Rouge North Management Plan. The development of the Rouge North Management Plan fulfilled the directions set out in the Rouge Park Management Plan (1994) and provided guidelines for the protection, enhancement and restoration of the Rouge Park and watershed.

In 2004 and again in 2007 the Province of Ontario committed substantial areas of land to the park in Toronto and in Markham, including the lands to create Bob Hunter Memorial Park.

527 In March 2008, the Town of Markham established the Rouge Park Implementation Task Force to undertake a review of its relationship with the Rouge Park. The November 2008 final report made a number of recommendations regarding boundaries, uses, protection, governance and funding.

The latest recommendation was presented at the April 3, 2009 meeting of the Alliance and proposed the creation of a 16,000-hectare national park.

RATIONALE The park has continued to evolve and grow as additional lands have been added/acquired. At the same time, new communities are developing around the park. The challenge is to recommend ways to reconcile the addition of new lands and changing use/leisure patterns with the vision/goal and objectives of the Rouge Park. Funding commitments for both development and operation of the park need to be confirmed.

As a result, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was developed and circulated on May 29, 2009 to the following 13 consulting firms: z Barrett and Associates; z Blackstone Partners; z Deloitte & Touche LLP; z Urban Strategies Inc.; z KPMG; z The Randolph Group; z Berkeley Consulting Group; z StrategyCorp Inc.; z Hemson Consulting Ltd.; z Mollenhauer Consulting; z Oliver Wyman Delta Organization and Leadership; z Consulting Matrix; z Wood-Sloan Inc..

The RFP closed at TRCA Head Office at 4:00 p.m. on June 19, 2009. Proposals received from the following three firms were opened by TRCA staff (Brian Denney and Kathy Stranks) on June 22, 2009. z Deloitte & Touche LLP; z StrategyCorp Inc./Hemson Consulting Ltd.; z Oliver Wyman Delta Organization and Leadership;

While the overall project management of the governance, organization and finance strategy will be the responsibility of the Rouge Park Alliance, a project steering committee has been established to oversee the project and work with the successful consultants. The project Steering Committee consists of the Rouge Park Alliance Chair, along with representatives from the following Alliance member organizations: z Government of Canada; z Province of Ontario; z Waterfront Regeneration Trust; z City of Toronto; z Region of York; z Region of Durham; 528 z Town of Markham; z TRCA.

The Steering Committee is supported by the General Manager and the other staff of the Rouge Park Alliance.

The Steering Committee received presentations from the 3 RFP respondents meeting the mandatory criteria on July 7, 2009. The steering committee assessed the proposals against the following criteria: z Qualifications and Experience z Quality of Proposal z Project Management z Financial z Presentation/Interview

Based on review of the proposals submitted and the July 7, 2009 presentation and interview, the steering committee was unanimous in recommending that the contract be awarded to StrategyCorp/Hemson, as they are the proponent best meeting the requirements of the RFP.

FINANCIAL DETAILS The budget for the project is not to exceed $120,000, including GST. The complex nature of the undertaking combined with the large number of stakeholders in the Rouge Park, necessitated that the budget be fixed for the study. All consulting teams were advised of this amount. StrategyCorp/Hemson is able to complete the project deliverables within this budget limit. A detailed work plan will be formulated as part of the formal contract for consulting services. Funds are available from the following sources: $40,000 federal government; $40,000 provincial government; $40,000 Rouge Park Alliance.

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The role of the steering committee will be to provide overall project direction to the consultants, act as liaison with the Alliance members and generally ensure that the project achieves the deliverables described in the RFP on time and on budget. The steering committee is supported by the General Manager and the other staff of the Rouge Park Alliance.

The consultants are expected to work closely with the steering committee on five key deliverables: z a set of feasible governance options, including the National Park option; z funding strategy; z management and organization structure to plan, operate and manage the park; z reconciling the addition of new lands and changing use/leisure patterns with the vision/goal and objectives of the Rouge Park;

529 z developing and implementing an effective strategy for engaging the broader membership of the Alliance (and their sponsoring/host organizations) in the discussions of the first four deliverables listed above.

SECTION IV - ITEMS FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE BOARD

RES.#B92/09 - 5TH WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CONGRESS Receipt of staff presentation on staff travel to the congress.

Moved by: Maria Augimeri Seconded by: Suzan Hall

THAT the presentation by Darryl Gray, Acting Manager, Education, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), in regard to the 5th World Environmental Education Congress be received. CARRIED BACKGROUND th From May 10 – 14, 2009, TRCA staff attended the 5 World Environmental Education Congress in Montreal, Quebec. Attending from TRCA were the following: z Darryl Gray, Acting Manager, Education; z Nancy McGee, Supervisor, Education Program Services; z Lindsay Bunce, Coordinator, Community Education Programs; z Natalie Zalkind, Education Supervisor, Kortright Centre; and z Adrian O’Driscoll, Supervisor, Stewardship and Outreach Education.

The five participants reflected a cross section of the education units at TRCA, specifically residential field centres, day use centres, outreach and stewardship, and corporate education initiatives. Each unit is responsible for ensuring that key environmental education messages are delivered to specific niche groups using the best methodology and reflective pedagogy for not only the diverse student needs, but also the variability in locations, schedules and resources. The participants will not only be able to offer increased vision specific to their respective education units, but also strengthen the integration of praxis (knowledge and practice) between units.

The congress was held at the Palais des congrès de Montréal and featured twelve thematic niches along which sessions were organized. The thematic niches were as follows: z Relationships between ecology and economy: the issue of sustainability; z Questions of fairness in socio-ecological issues; z Environmental health;

530 z Urban challenges; z Ecologizing colleges and universities; z School and community; z Learning in society; z Heritage interpretation; z Indigenous knowledge and practices; z Ethics, environmental thought, and worldviews; z Art: imagination, creativity and meaning; and z Ecological identity.

Sessions within each thematic niche varied in length from one hour to four hours and consisted of panel discussions, lectures, roundtables and workshops and were held in the three official languages of the congress: English, French and Spanish. Throughout the congress the opportunity to learn, network, discuss current and emerging issues in environmental education, and share experiences with participants from around the world was particularly valuable. Most of the sessions were presented at a post-secondary level by leading researchers, lecturers, practitioners and administrators from a wide range of organizations and institutions.

The overarching message of the congress was that environmental education that offers strictly science-based knowledge is insufficient in facilitating behaviour change. To be effective, education must be more comprehensive and integrate economics and social justice issues with environmental learning programs in support of sustainability.

With approximately 2,000 registered participants from around the world, a number of organizations from Ontario with which TRCA partners were in attendance, including school boards, universities, colleges and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

As part of the congress, TRCA staff presented on the “Weston Model” of environmental learning currently being applied whereby residential visits for students attending Lake St. George Field Centre are integrated with Watershed on Wheels (WOW) and a follow up in-class visit led by TRCA education staff. The presentation was offered during the NGO Forum of the Congress, sharing results on the effectiveness of integrated environmental learning opportunities through a brief lecture and a booth staffed by TRCA staff. A presentation on the "Weston Model" has been tentatively scheduled for Authority Meeting #7/09, scheduled to be held on September 25, 2009.

Staff who attended the congress will be presenting on immediate results and anticipated learning outcomes of the congress at the June 12, 2009 Executive Committee as well as other staff meetings over the next several months. Further to this, a number of contacts and relationships developed at the congress will be explored with the intent of expanding and strengthening TRCA’s education network.

______531 RES.#B93/09 - VOTING PROCEDURES Receipt of staff report on voting procedures at Toronto and Region Conservation Authority board meetings.

Moved by: Maria Augimeri Seconded by: Jack Heath

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the staff report on voting procedures at meetings of the Authority, Executive Committee and advisory boards be received.

RES.#B94/09 AMENDMENT

Moved by: Maria Augimeri Seconded by: Jack Heath

THAT the following be added before the first paragraph of the main motion to correct the error in the staff report:

WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is defined as a Local Board in the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act and TRCA is therefore covered under the Act whereby members can not vote, yet do not need to leave the room during discussion, except during in camera discussions, on items for which they have declared a conflict of interest;

THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED

THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED

THE RESULTANT MOTION READS AS FOLLOWS:

THEREFORE IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the staff report on voting procedures at meetings of the Authority, Executive Committee and advisory boards be received.

BACKGROUND Authority, Executive Committee and advisory board meetings are governed by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) Rules of Conduct. When the Rules of Conduct do not specifically address an issue, Section 13 of the Rules of Conduct states that:

Rules of procedure for the Authority meeting shall adhere to the current edition of Robert's Rules of Order, Bourinot's Rules of Order or other generally accepted rules of procedure.

532 The Executive Committee directed staff to report back on procedures surrounding eligibility of a member to vote on a matter on which he/she has declared a conflict of interest and if there is a requirement to leave the room when such matters are discussed and voted on.

Further, at an Authority meeting a member asked for clarification about members being required to vote during a recorded vote. It has been the practice of TRCA not to require a member to vote on an issue.

RATIONALE TRCA's Rules of Conduct does not speak to the matter of conflict of interest so TRCA has abided by Robert's Rules of Order, whereby Section 45. 15-25 states:

No member should vote on a question in which he has a direct personal or pecuniary interest not common to other members of the organization. For example, if a motion proposes that the organization enter into a contract with a commercial firm of which a member of the organization is an officer and from which contract he would derive personal pecuniary profit, the member should abstain from voting on the motion. However, no member can be compelled to refrain from voting in such circumstances.

Given that a member is not required to refrain from voting when declaring a conflict, there is not a requirement in Robert's Rules of Order for the member to leave the room during the vote, even if they choose to refrain from voting.

TRCA's members who are municipal elected officials are familiar with the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. TRCA is not covered by the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act and its members are not required to observe the rules. Section 5 of the Act states:

5.(1) Where a member, either on his or her own behalf or while acting for, by, with or through another, has any pecuniary interest, direct or indirect, in any matter and is present at a meeting of the council or local board at which the matter is the subject of consideration, the member, (a) shall, prior to any consideration of the matter at the meeting, disclose the interest and the general nature thereof; (b) shall not take part in the discussion of, or vote on any question in respect of the matter; and (c) shall not attempt in any way whether before, during or after the meeting to influence the voting on any such question. R.S.O. 1990, c. M.50, s. 5 (1).

Again, there is no requirement for a member to leave the room.

Given that the majority of TRCA members are subject to the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act in their own jurisdictions, staff recommends that TRCA follow the procedures outlined in Section 5.(1) noted above, such that members will not take part in the discussion and will not vote. However, they will not be required to leave the room which will ensure that quorum can be maintained.

As per Section 44 of Robert's Rules of Order, the basic requirement for a majority vote is as follows:

533 The word majority means "more than half"; and when the term majority vote is used without qualification - as in the case of the basic requirement - it means more than half of the votes cast be persons legally entitled to vote, excluding blanks or abstentions, at a regularly or properly called meeting at which a quorum is present.

Therefore, should the number of members present at a meeting be at bare quorum, and a member does not vote due to a conflict of interest, a motion shall still be decided by a majority vote of the members legally entitled to vote on the matter. Should a member leave the room and quorum be lost, even though they are not legally entitled to vote on the matter as in the case of a stated conflict of interest, the vote cannot be conducted. Should the chair or any member notice after a vote that quorum is not present, prior decisions shall not be affected, except upon ruling of the Chair, as per Section 40 of Robert's Rules of Order as follows:

...a point of order relating to the absence of a quorum is generally not permitted to affect prior action; but upon clear and convincing proof, such a point of order can be given effect retrospectively by a ruling of the presiding officer, subject to appeal.

On the matter of a member being required to vote in a recorded vote, TRCA meetings operate in compliance with Robert's Rules of Order which do not require a member to vote. Section 45 states, in part:

Although it is the duty of every member who has an opinion on a question to express it by his vote, he can abstain, since he cannot be compelled to vote.

Procedure for Roll Call Vote Each member, as his name is called, responds in the affirmative or negative as shown above. if he does not wish to vote, he answers present (or abstain).

The reference at the Authority meeting to the requirement to vote was in reference to Section 246 of Ontario's Municipal Act as follows:

246(1) Recorded Vote If a member present at a meeting at the time of a vote requests immediately before or after the taking of the vote that the vote be recorded, each member present, except a member who is disqualified from voting by any Act, shall announce his or her vote openly and the clerk shall record each vote. 2001, c. 25, s. 246 (1).

246(2) Failure to vote A failure to vote under subsection (1) by a member who is present at the meeting at the time of the vote and who is qualified to vote shall be deemed to be a negative vote. 2001, c. 25, s. 246 (2).

For consistency, staff recommends that TRCA meetings continue to operate on this matter as per Robert's Rules of Order.

534 The proposed amendment to operating procedures on the matter of conflict of interest does not require amendment of TRCA's Rules of Conduct as it allows for following generally accepted rules of procedure, which in this case will be the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. There is no change recommended to operating procedures on the matter of a requirement to vote in a recorded vote.

RES.#B95/09 - ABSENTEEISM SUMMARY 2008 Summary of the absenteeism rates for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority staff for 2008.

Moved by: Maria Augimeri Seconded by: Suzan Hall

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Absenteeism Summary 2008 for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) be received. CARRIED BACKGROUND Absence due to illness statistics are tracked on a yearly basis to look at trends in wellness of the staff and to develop strategies to address issues.

Results The overall average number of absence due to illness days taken by TRCA employees in 2008 is 6.07 days. This is up from 5.68 days in 2007. Although a significant increase, TRCA is still well below the national average of around 11 days per year.

If the statistics for the employees with the highest absence due to illness days are removed, the TRCA average has actually decreased from 3.41 days per year in 2007 to 3.15 days per year in 2008. High use is defined as an employee who takes 10 or more days per year due to illness. The breakdown in high use cases is as follows:

535 CAUSE NUMBER OF NUMBER OF AVERAGE DAYS EMPLOYEES DAYS OFF PER EMPLOYEE PER CAUSE Stress 1 12.5 12.5 Pregnancy Related 5 175 35 Cancer Related 3 146 49 Chronic Conditions 12 539.5 45 Injury 6 118 19.7 Flu or Other 26 333 12.8 OVERALL AVERAGE 53 1,324 24.98

There has been an increase in high absence due to illness in 2008. In 2007, 773.67 days were lost to illness while 2008 saw 1324 days lost due to illness. Further analysis indicates that the prime reason for this change is that in 2008 26 people were off an average of 12.8 days due to flu like or infectious conditions. In response to this increase, hand sanitizers have been installed in offices to decrease the spread of viruses and infections.

TRCA can now compare annual use of the Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) in addition to absenteeism statistics as the EAP has been in place for 2 years. There has been a drop in usage from 53 active client cases in 2007 to 32 in 2008.

FINANCIAL DETAILS There is a direct productivity impact as TRCA employees are on the job an average of 4.93 more days per year than the average Canadian worker.

ONTARIO REGULATION 166/06

RES.#B96/09 - APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 166/06 Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses. Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06, written permission from the Authority is required for: a) straightening, changing, diverting or interfering in any way with the existing channel of a river, creek, stream or watercourse, or for changing or interfering in any way with a wetland;

536 b) development, if in the opinion of the authority, the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches or pollution or the conservation of land may be affected by the development.

A permit may be refused through a Hearing Process, if in the opinion of the Authority, the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land is affected.

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Maja Prentice

THAT permits be granted in accordance with Ontario Regulation 166/06 for the applications (EX10.1 - EX10.15, and EX10.72, with the exception of EX10.10 - City of Vaughan), which are listed below. CARRIED RES.#B97/09 - APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 166/06

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Richard Whitehead

THAT a permit be granted in accordance with Ontario Regulation 166/06 for the application (EX10.10 - City of Vaughan), which is listed below. CARRIED CITY OF PICKERING

EX10.1 509 MARKSBURY ROAD To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure and site grade on Part Lot 10, 11, 12, Plan 270, (509 Marksbury Road), in the City of Pickering, Frenchman's Bay Watershed.

The purpose is to erect a structure and undertake site grading within a Regulated Area in order to facilitate the construction of a new single residential dwelling.

The permit will be issued for the period of July 10, 2009 to July 9, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: z Drawing No. SP-1, Site Plan, prepared by Avtech Designs, dated May 2009, received by TRCA on June 16, 2009; z Figure 1, Park Crescent - West Shore Blvd. Shoreline, prepared by TRCA, received by TRCA on June 16, 2009.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

537 Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to construct a single family dwelling and undertake associated grading within a Regulated Area associated with the Lake Ontario shoreline. The lands are within the Regulated Area due to their closeness to the slope associated with the Lake Ontario shoreline. A geotechnical assessment has been undertaken by TRCA, which projects that the proposed dwelling is outside of the 100 year erosion hazard limit including an appropriate buffer of 10 metres.

Of note is the fact that this proposal arises out of a land exchange between the owners and TRCA wherein TRCA lands were exchanged with the owner's in order to secure a continuous strip of land in public ownership along the shoreline of Lake Ontario to protect for a future segment of the Waterfront Trail and to remove private lands/existing single-family structure from the erosion hazard area. The land exchange was approved by the Authority at its meeting of January 26, 2007 (Resolution A312/06).

Control of Flooding: There is no flooding hazard associated with the subject lands.

Pollution: As the proposed dwelling is removed from the shoreline itself, it is not expected that there will be any concerns with sedimentation associated with construction activities.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: As noted above, a geotechnical assessment was undertaken by TRCA in support of the land exchange. The assessment report assisted in determining the development limits for the residential parcel, which was created as part of the land exchange. Figure 1 of the assessment report clearly shows that the proposed residential dwelling would be outside of the 100 year erosion hazard limit while providing for a 10 metre minimum buffer for extra prudence and future access to any active erosion area. Since the original geotechnical assessment, TRCA has undertaken major shoreline restoration works to improve aquatic habitat between Park Crescent and Westshore Boulevard.

Conservation of Land: No natural heritage features are located on the subject lands.

Plantings No plantings were made a requirement of this proposal.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 3.1.2 c) of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2005 and the TRCA's Shoreline Management Program.

CFN: 42580 - Application #: 0442/09/PICK Report Prepared by: Chris Jones, extension 5718 For information contact: Chris Jones, extension 5718 Date: June 29, 2009 538 EX10.2 415 WOODGRANGE AVENUE To site grade on Part Lot 61, 62, Plan 282, (415 Woodgrange Avenue), in the City of Pickering, Rouge River Watershed.

The purpose is to undertake site grading in order to construct a rear yard drainage system within a Regulated Area.

The permit will be issued for the period of July 10, 2009 to July 9, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: z Site Plan, prepared by H.G. Grander Co. Ltd., dated May 21, 2009, Revised to June 15, 2009.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to undertake site grading in order to construct a rear yard drainage system. The system would consist of a single catch basin, conveyance pipe and outfall structure. The proposed drainage system is required by the owner in order to address a drainage and erosion issue within the rear yard of the subject property. Currently water is conveyed over land from several of the neigbouring properties across the rear yard of the subject lands to an existing gully/draw formation in the Rouge River valley. Over time, this water has progressively caused an erosion problem whereby the gully is increasing in size resulting in a large erosion scar. The proposed drainage system would redirect these surface water flows to an outfall structure. The outfall structure is to be located adjacent to an existing municipal outfall on the property. Rip rap rock is to be placed downstream of the outfall to minimize any further erosion.

Control of Flooding: There is no flooding hazard associated with the subject lands.

Pollution: The proposal should address the current erosion problem and thereby reduce the amount of sediment into the Rouge Valley system.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: As discussed above, the proposal has been designed to reduce the current erosion problem on the subject lands.

Conservation of Land: Minor vegetation removals will be required as part of the excavation works for the drainage system.

539 Plantings The owner plans on revegetating all excavated areas.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of the proposed Cottrelle Boulevard bridge over the Clarkway Tributary of The West Humber River associated with a residential plan of subdivision.

The permit will be issued for the period of July 10, 2009 to July 9, 2011.

562 z Letter of Undertaking, prepared by D. Horgan, Candevcon Ltd., dated July 8, 2009, to address all outstanding TRCA engineering concerns.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of the proposed Cottrelle Boulevard bridge over the Clarkway Tributary of The West Humber River. The proposed development is located within the planning boundaries of the Edenfield Developments Incorporated residential subdivision (City File No. 21T-06023B / TRCA File No. CFN 38760) and the Bram East Area 'A' Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP).

The proposed road is designated by the City of Brampton as a minor arterial road, which is currently being constructed on adjacent lands. The road has been constructed to the east and west of the Clarkway Tributary valley corridor. The right-of-way has been conveyed to the City of Brampton, except for a small area of the right-of-way, which is still in the ownership of Edenfield Developments Incorporated. A Class Environmental Assessment (EA - Schedule C) (TRCA File No. CFN 29551) has been approved for Cottrelle Boulevard between McVean Drive and Regional Road 50.

As a component of this project, a fluvial geomorphology assessment study has been submitted to the TRCA for review. Through the crossing location, the tributary appears to have been historically straightened. The active channel width is approximately 5 metres (maximum). The proposed bridge structure has been designed to comply with the proposed span recommendations of the report, and provides a 31.2 metre span. This analysis and the Environmental Assessment did not, however, fully consider potential floodplain impacts of the proposed bridge, and the associated fill that will be placed within the valley corridor. Although Regional Storm flows will be conveyed underneath the bridge, it should be noted that the proposed bridge and fill within the valley will elevate flood levels upstream of the proposed bridge. With consideration for the anticipated 'backwater' impacts, the consultants for the applicant have confirmed that areas in which flood levels will be increased will be located within publically owned valleylands. The consultants have also identified that the proposed bridge structure will not impact existing development located on the east side of the valley corridor and that the City's requirements for required vertical freeboard - between flood levels within the valley, and adjacent properties - will still be achieved. For the west side of the valley corridor where residential subdivisions have been recently draft approved, grading is proposed within the buffers, and modifications to the subdivisions have been proposed, to achieve the required vertical and horizontal buffers.

In order to eliminate the backwater impact, a 45 metre single-span bridge or a double-span structure at 30 metres each is required. The consultants for the applicant have indicated that the 45 metre span would result in an additional cost of $1.5 million and the double-span structure would result in an additional cost of $2.2 million, for which the City of Brampton and the developers group would be jointly responsible.

563 Please be advised that the proposed 31.2 metre bridge achieves the required vertical freeboard between the Regional Storm Floodplain water level and the bottom of the bridge girder, as established by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO). An increase in bridge span will result in reduced depths between the Regional Storm Floodplain water level and the bottom of the bridge girder, resulting in non-compliance with MTO standards. As well, the proposed bridge structure is designed to prevent over-topping of the road up to the Regional Storm event. The proposed 31.2 metre span may improve downstream flooding conditions as a result of the anticipated backwater effect.

Although it has been suggested by TRCA staff that the proposed 31.2 metre span be increased in order to further minimize flooding impacts, the City of Brampton has identified the current proposal as the preferred span and that other options are not viable technically and/or financially. The City of Brampton has provided a letter to the TRCA confirming that the proposed 31.2 metre bridge structure is the preferred option of the City, with consideration for all of the issues that must be considered by the City with respect to this project and City of Brampton staff has requested that TRCA staff take this permit application forward on that basis.

Construction of the bridge will take place during low flow conditions. It is our understanding that no in-water works are anticipated as a result of construction. Additionally, all near water works will be conducted during the warm water fisheries timing window of July 1 to March 31 of any given year. As part of the permit, a Letter of Advice (LOA) will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).

The proposed construction has taken into account the ecological conditions of this area. Riparian planting is to be established through the extent of the corridor in this area. The riparian habitat will consist of native and non-invasive plant species, 50% of which will be woody plants. Given the historical straightening to this reach of the Clarkway Tributary, the proposed enhancement planting plan achieves an ecological net gain in natural cover for this area of the Humber River Watershed.

Control of Flooding: The proponent has updated TRCA's current hydraulic model, which incorporates the proposed bridge crossing. The engineering consultants for the applicant have confirmed that the anticipated water level increases as a result of the backwater effect will be solely on public lands owned by the City of Brampton and that the proposed structure will not impact flooding conditions on existing and/or approved development on private lands on either side of the Clarkway Tributary valley lands.

Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed prior to construction and maintained throughout all phases of construction.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: A geotechnical/slope stability report has been submitted with this application. Based on our review, TRCA staff concur with the report findings. As such, there are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns associated with this project. 564 Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. All disturbed areas will be restored with native species. An extensive enhancement planting plan has been provided with this proposal and will improve the riparian function for this reach of the Humber River Watershed. Although there are no fisheries concerns related to this project, a LOA will be issued on behalf of DFO with this permit.

Plantings All proposed plantings are native and non-invasive consistent with TRCA's guidelines.

Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are in conformity with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere and alter a watercourse on Lot 5, Concession 10 NDS, in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Feny Company Inc./Ouray Developments Inc.

The purpose is to construct and develop within a Regulated area to facilitate the construction of a new bridge crossing associated with Fogal Road.

The permit will be issued for the period of July 10, 2009 to July 9, 2011. z Letter of undertaking provided by Diarmuid Horgan, Candevcon Ltd., dated July 8, 2009, to address all outstanding TRCA issues prior to the issuance of the permit.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: This permit application is the second of two associated with this project. A previous application was brought forward and approved by the Executive Committee on May 8, 2009, for the construction of the off-line portions of the new stream channel on the subject property. This permit application is for the construction of the proposed Fogal Road bridge, and the upstream and downstream connections of the new channel. The channel realignments proposed require Authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The proponent is in the process of attaining approval from DFO, and this permit will not be released until such time as the Authorization has been provided. 565 This permit is associated with the proposed Fogal Road extension - a new proposed road connection and bridge crossing located between Highway 50 and Clarkway Drive, north of Queen Street in the City of Brampton. The location of this bridge crossing was initially determined through a City of Brampton Road Master Plan, which identified the need for a crossing of a tributary of the West Humber River, in this location. As with similar projects in the City of Brampton, the construction of this section of Fogal Road, and the associated bridge crossing are tied to the adjacent proposed residential development, and must be constructed by the private developers who currently own the lands, in concert with their proposed developments. Through this process, a site specific municipal environmental assessment is not required for the proposed crossing.

The proposed Fogal road bridge is located directly downstream of an existing meander in the stream channel. Due to previous planning approvals adjacent to the bridge, in addition to road design requirements, the location of the bridge has been set, and has precluded any opportunities for shifting the alignment of the crossing to a better location. The proponents have comprehensively analyzed options for a crossing in this location, and TRCA staff have worked extensively with the proponents to reduce the impacts of the preferred option. Due to topographic constraints, engineering limitations, and with consideration for previous alterations to the watercourse within this area, it was determined that a realignment of the watercourse could be considered in this location to facilitate a crossing design that met the needs of all parties. As this section of the watercourse had been historically altered, opportunities existed for restoring a more natural channel profile, and improving riparian cover as part of a channel realignment. The proponent has designed a realigned channel that preserves channel length, restores a more natural channel design, and provides for significant plantings throughout this reach of the stream.

Control of Flooding: There are no negative impacts anticipated to the control of flooding.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: The new channel being created is being designed in accordance with TRCA's natural channel design requirements. No geotechnical/slope stability issues are anticipated with this project, and a monitoring program - in accordance with DFO and TRCA requirements will be required.

Conservation of Land: This project is being completed within a valley corridor that is presently in private ownership, which will be gratuitously dedicated into public ownership through the associated development planning process. This proposal is subject to DFO Authorization, and MNR Fisheries Timing Window restrictions. As a component of this project, comprehensive restoration of riparian areas upstream and downstream of the bridge are required. 566 Plantings A comprehensive valley restoration plan is included with this permit for the bridge construction works.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

EX10.21 N.H.D DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere and alter a watercourse on Lot 4, Concession 9, (The Gore Road), in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by N.H.D Developments Limited.

The purpose is to place fill and construct within a Regulated Area, and the Regulatory Floodplain, to facilitate the construction of a new on-line stormwater management pond associated with a new residential subdivision.

The permit will be issued for the period of July 10, 2009 to July 9, 2011. z Letter of undertaking provided by Jeff Solly, Sorbara Group, dated July 8, 2009, to address all outstanding TRCA issues, prior to the issuance of the permit.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: This permit is to permit the construction of a new stormwater management pond, proposed wetland cell, outlet channel and tie-in points to a temporary diversion channel that will be utilized during the construction process. The works proposed under this permit application are associated with the proposed Gore Road subdivision, located south of Highway 7 (Queen Street), directly west of The Gore Road, directly east of Claireville Conservation Area, in the City of Brampton. The Gore Road subdivision is a draft approved residential subdivision, with which TRCA staff have been involved since 2003. The subdivision is located on a tableland area adjacent to the Claireville Conservation Area that was previously owned by the TRCA, and sold to the proponent. The proponent is presently finalizing the purchase of additional lands from the TRCA adjacent to the subject property for the proposed stormwater management pond. Works associated with this permit will occur on lands presently owned by the TRCA, which are being sold to the applicant. This permit will not be released until such time as all remaining TRCA property interests have been satisfactorily addressed. 567 Construction of the proposed stormwater management pond will require two permits from the TRCA. In order to construct the proposed future stormwater management pond, it will be necessary to temporarily divert flows associated with the Brewster Drain - a tributary of the Humber River located on the eastern edge of Claireville lands - around the construction area. A permit was approved by the Executive Committee on May 8, 2009, to facilitate this first phase of the proposed works.

The proposed pond is an 'on-line' pond, which will be integrated into the existing Brewster Drain, such that flows will be diverted through the proposed pond. This approach is consistent with the broader master servicing plan for this area, as this pond will also provide treatment for lands upstream. As a component of this project, a wetland cell associated with the stormwater management pond is being created to provide additional water quality treatment. Additionally, the applicant has agreed to provide additional off-site compensation for wetland creation elsewhere in Claireville Conservation Area. This permit will allow for the construction of the proposed stormwater management pond and all associated works.

Control of Flooding: The proposed works are partially located within the Regional Storm floodplain, however, the pond has been designed in accordance with TRCA's standards. As such, no adverse impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated.

Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion controls will be required with this application, and must be maintained throughout all phases of construction, in accordance with TRCA's current guidelines.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns anticipated with this application. Erosion of the disturbed areas of the site will need to be addressed through the application of robust sediment and erosion control measures in accordance with TRCA's current guidelines.

Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of this project, however additional plantings and wetland creation are proposed with this project to provide for a net enhancement to the system. A letter of Advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be required for this project, and the proposed works will be subject to MNR's Cold Water Timing Window restrictions.

Plantings A planting and restoration strategy is being provided with this project, to provide for a net enhancement to natural cover within this area.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. 568 CFN: 42320 - Application #: 0255/09/BRAM Report Prepared by: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 For information contact: Quentin Hanchard, extension 5324 Date: June 30, 2009

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The purpose is to construct a replacement dwelling within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. A permit to construct a replacement home on this property was previously approved during the May 8, 2009 Executive Committee meeting (Permit No. C-09252). However, since that time, a new property owner has purchased the property and has now submitted a permit application under their name for the construction of a replacement dwelling.

The subject works which form this permit are similar to the previously approved works with the exception of some changes to the proposed regrading along the slope and minor changes to the footprint of the proposed dwelling. A 10 metre setback from the existing toe of slope has been maintained as previously approved.

As with the previous permit, the slope is to be regraded to a more gentle configuration and will be restored with native, non-invasive plantings to provide increased slope stability and act as a buffer between the residential use and the valley vegetation. In addition, the replacement dwelling is located further away from the slope feature than the existing dwelling. The proposed works are setback from the long-term-stable-toe-of-slope in accordance with the recommended distance determined by a Slope Stability Assessment prepared by Forward Engineering & Associates Inc., dated March 16, 2009.

TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed works will not have an adverse impact on the stability of the slope feature and the proposed development is adequately setback from the long-term-stable-toe-of-slope.

Control of Flooding: The proposed works are not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain; there will be no impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood waters.

Pollution: Sediment control fencing will be installed and maintained for the duration of construction to prevent the transport of sediment to adjacent properties within the valley system.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed works will not have an adverse impact on the stability of the slope feature and the proposed development is adequately setback from the long-term-stable-toe-of-slope.

584 Conservation of Land: As a watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. There are no other significant natural features on or adjacent to the site that may be negatively impacted by the project.

Plantings The proposed Landscape Restoration Plan composed of native, non-invasive species will provide an enhanced buffer between the residential use and the existing vegetated valley wall as well as provide increased slope stability.

Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 D) - Replacement Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to undertake site grading, permanently place fill material and alter a watercourse in order to re-establish a natural stream corridor and complete the final phase of decommissioning of an on-line pond. The 2.57 hectare pond, known as Stollery Pond, is located within the Angus Glen West Village landholdings: a major residential development in the Town of Markham south of Major Mackenzie Drive and west of the Bruce Creek valleylands. 589 Stollery Pond is an artificial pond. The pond was created by means of a dam by a previous land owner as part of the former farming operation on the subject lands. Prior to the first phase of decommissioning, which was approved by the Executive Committee at its meeting of August 8, 2008 (File No. CFN 41205), Stollery Pond was an 'on-line' pond to a tributary of the Bruce Creek. Previously, all stream flows from the Bruce Tributary traveled through the pond prior to flowing downstream to the remainder of the Bruce Creek subwatershed. This condition had several negative ecological impacts: it disrupted the natural hydrologic and geomorphic regime of the tributary, it acted as a barrier to the movement of fish and other aquatic species up and down stream and it altered the thermal regime of the watercourse by increasing downstream water temperatures.

As a condition to the draft approval of the Angus Glen West Village plan of subdivision (Subdivision File No. 19TM-030004), the owner agreed to decommission Stollery Pond and restore the Bruce Creek tributary, which traversed the pond, to a more natural state by re-establishing a natural stream corridor. In return, blocks for two future stormwater management ponds were included in the draft plan of subdivision on a portion of the former Stollery Pond footprint.

This phase of work involves the approval of the detailed design and construction of the natural stream corridor. Last winter and this spring, the former Stollery Pond was drawn down and a by-pass channel was constructed,as authorized by the previously approved permit. Works proposed for approval at this time include the construction of a 475 metre long section of a natural watercourse corridor. The corridor is to be composed of a series of pools and riffles to facilitate and restore fish migration throughout the length of the tributary. A 90 metre section of the tributary that is currently enclosed in a pipe beneath a golf course fairway is to be opened up and daylighted, again with a natural stream corridor. A naturalized connection is to be built at the confluence with the main Bruce Creek. Finally, a new off-line pool is to be created in order to provide additional wildlife habitat.

Control of Flooding: The restored natural stream corridor has been designed to convey flood waters up to the Regional Storm event by utilizing the area provided by the adjacent stormwater management ponds (proposed on either side of the corridor). The size of the Regional Storm Flood Plain will be reduced through the proposed design and will be completely contained within the tributary valleylands.

Pollution: A Dewatering Program and Construction Staging Plan has been submitted in support of the proposal. A goal of this proposal is to provide sediment free clean water discharge throughout the various stages of construction.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: The design of staging plans and sediment and erosion control and prevention measures are to be included on the plans to ensure that all erosion associated with construction of the natural watercourse corridor is prevented or minimized. 590 Conservation of Land: This proposal will result in the restoration of a tributary of the Bruce Creek, part of the Rouge River watershed, to a more natural state and will contribute to the restoration of the Bruce Creek as a coldwater fishery. In support of the application, a Stollery Pond Characterization report has been submitted. This report catalogues the existing environmental conditions of Stollery Pond and environs.

Issues associated with the management of fish habitat are to be evaluated pursuant to the TRCA's Level III Agreement, TRCA staff will issue a Letter of Advice pursuant to the requirements of the Fisheries Act prior to issuance of the permit.

Plantings An extensive planting plan has been prepared and has been submitted in support of the application. The planting plan provides for a fully vegetated riparian zone adjacent to the restored natural stream corridor.

Proposal: The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a new residential dwelling at 25 Carat Crescent, in the Town of Richmond Hill. Please note that TRCA staff has previously commented on several planning and development applications related to the subject property including a draft plan of subdivision (City File No. 19T-95016), zoning by-law amendment (City By-Law No. 179-97) and TRCA permit application (Permit No. C-06601). As a component of the above noted application reviews, a 10 metre structural setback requirement from the adjacent valley corridor was implemented. However, the shape of the subject property is considered to be irregular and cannot accommodate a dwelling with the existing structural setback requirements. As a result of the setback encroachment, TRCA staff has worked with the applicant and it is agreed that an extensive enhancement planting plan will be submitted to the TRCA to achieve an ecological net gain for this area prior to the issuance of this permit. The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. The area to which this application applies is void of any significant vegetation. As such, no vegetation will be removed as a result of construction.

The purpose is to construct and to develop within a Regulated area to facilitate the construction of a new vehicular bridge crossing.

The permit will be issued for the period of July 10, 2009 to July 9, 2011. z Letter of undertaking provided by Nick Zeibots, The Municipal Infrastructure Group, dated July 8, 2009, to address all outstanding TRCA issues, prior to the issuance of the permit.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

596 Proposal: This permit application is the final permit application of eight associated with this project. Previous applications have been brought forward and approved by the Executive Committee in 2008 and 2009 for stormwater management, topsoil stripping, stormwater outfalls, in addition to a watermain crossing and sanitary sewer connection associated with the subject development. This permit application is to allow for the construction of a new bridge crossing (Via Renzo Drive) over a tributary of the Rouge River, located north of Major Mackenzie Drive, east of Leslie Street, in the Town of Richmond Hill. The proposed works are required in support of a new commercial industrial development on the subject property, for which TRCA endorsement has previously been provided. This watercourse is considered to be a cold water stream, and is managed for Redside Dace. As with similar projects in the Town of Richmond Hill, the construction of this section of Via Renzo Drive and the associated bridge crossing are tied to the adjacent proposed residential development, and will be constructed by the private developers who currently own the lands, in concert with their proposed developments. Through this process, a site specific municipal environmental assessment is not required for the proposed crossing.

The proposed bridge is located in close proximity to an upstream meander in the watercourse. Due to land ownership constraints, as well as road geometrics requirements, no other locations were available for this crossing. Through a recent assessment of the watercourse the consultants for the applicant have concluded that the proposed bridge structure is not at risk from erosion or meander belt migration, with the use of stabilization and erosion reduction measures, and the inclusion of protective measures for the bridge foundations - should the watercourse migrate towards the foundations during the anticipated life span of the bridge.

Due to the sensitivity of this Rouge tributary, the proposed works are to be completed within the Redside Dace Fisheries Timing Window, to mitigate against any potential negative impacts upon the fishery should unanticipated complications arise during the construction process. Additionally, appropriate contingencies measures shall be put in place during construction to minimize any potential impacts. No in-water works are proposed as a component of this project.

Control of Flooding: There are no negative impacts anticipated to the control of flooding.

Pollution: Enhanced sediment and erosion control measures will be implemented for the duration of construction, and until the new channel is stabilized, in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse. Extensive monitoring of the bridge will be required throughout the construction phase to ensure that any potential impacts to the adjacent watercourse are mitigated.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: The area in which this bridge is to be located is subject to river-based erosion. Measures are being included in this project to minimize the impacts of the bridge on the valley corridor, and to minimize any potential erosion impacts upon the bridge. 597 Conservation of Land: This project is being completed within a valley corridor that is presently in private ownership, which will be gratuitously dedicated into public ownership through the associated development planning process. This proposal will require a DFO Letter of Advice, and will be subject to MNR Fisheries Timing Window restrictions. As a component of this project, comprehensive restoration of disturbed are required.

Plantings A project-specific valley restoration plan is included with this permit for the bridge construction works, and a larger scale valley restoration plan is being proposed through the associated plan of subdivision.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed to facilitate the construction of grading operations and infrastructure servicing related to a draft approved plan of subdivision.

The permit will be issued for the period of July 10, 2009 to July 9, 2011. z Letter of Undertaking provided by Primont Homes (Maple) Inc., dated Tuesday July 30, 2009 to address outstanding TRCA Ecology and Stormwater Management issues, prior to issuance of a permit.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

598 Proposal: The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed to facilitate grading operations and infrastructure servicing related to a draft approved plan of subdivision. The subject property is located just east of Bathurst Street and off Gamble Road, adjacent to the Rouge River tributary. The proposed works involve the construction of a terra slope system along the valley wall in order to facilitate the grading operations associated with this subdivision. This subdivision was draft approved in 1998 with the roadway alignment being adjacent to the top of bank. Please note that the TRCA provided correspondence to the Town of Richmond Hill identifying that the design of the roadway alignment did not include buffers and may necessitate grading into the adjacent valleylands in order to construct the roadway. The subdivision was draft approved without this issue being further addressed. The roadway alignment has also been approved and constructed on the nearby adjacent properties, also adjacent to the top of bank. As such, the ability to significantly alter the roadway alignment as it relates to this development has been reduced. Recognizing the inability to significantly realign the roadway, the proponent initially submitted plans to construct a retaining wall structure. Through this permit review, discussions to explore more suitable alternatives occurred in an effort to minimize the impacts of the necessary encroachment. Based on our discussions, it was agreed that the proposed terra slope system was the most suitable option, since it reduces the amount of grading required within the valleylands. As well, the TRCA negotiated a minor realignment of the roadway for this site away from the valley to reduce the encroachment. The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. To provide a net environmental gain with respect to the proposed works, additional best management practices (BMPs) and low impact development (LID) measures have been incorporated into the design of this subdivision. As well, an extensive enhancement planting plan will be submitted with this application to mitigate the proposed works and will be reviewed prior to the issuance of this permit.

Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of floodwaters is anticipated.

Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed and maintained on the subject property throughout all phases of construction.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: All geotechnical and slope stability issues have been resolved through the proposed implementation of the terra slope system.

Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. However, an extensive enhancement planting plan will be provided with this application. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this project.

599 Plantings All proposed plantings will be native and non-invasive consistent with TRCA's planting guidelines.

Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with intent of Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

CITY OF TORONTO (ETOBICOKE YORK COMMUNITY COUNCIL AREA)

EX10.72 LAMBTON GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB To site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere on Lot 6-8, 26-27, 27A, Plan 789, 2424, (100 Scarlett Road), in the City of Toronto (Etobicoke York Community Council Area), Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Lambton Golf and Country Club.

The purpose is to remove and place fill material and site grade within the floodplain and regulated area in order to facilitate renovations of fairways, greens, bunkers, tee decks and cart paths associated with holes 4, 5 and 6. Also proposed is the construction of a new irrigation reservoir and water intake structure.

The permit will be issued for the period of July 10, 2009 to July 9, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: z Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Lambton Golf and Country Club, dated July 8, 2009, received July 8, 2009.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The Lambton Golf Club is proposing renovations to all of its 27 hole golf course. The works will commence in the summer of 2009 with the first phase including the construction of a new irrigation pond and water intake structure and renovations to holes 4, 5 and 6 which are adjacent to the Humber River. The second phase will involve renovations to the remaining holes on the course and the replacement of two existing bridges which span the concrete lined Black Creek. The bridge replacement work involves placing new concrete abutments beyond the existing channel and the placing of new bridge decks. The existing bridge decks and abutments will be removed. The second phase of the works is expected to occur towards the end of the 2009 summer season.

Control of Flooding: A portion of the grading/cutting and filing works will take place in the flood plain portion of the property. TRCA has requested the applicant undertake floodplain analysis of the Humber River in order to assess the impacts of the proposed works upon the floodplain. TRCA staff are in agreement with the conclusions of the floodplain analysis which reveal that there will be no significant impacts to the upstream and downstream storage or conveyance of flood waters.

613 Pollution: A silt fence will be secured around all construction areas to prevent the migration of construction generated sediment into the watercourse.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: There are no geotechnical issues with the proposed works.

Conservation of Land: The proposed works will be executed well beyond the margin (top of bank) of the watercourse, thereby mitigating direct impacts on the existing river bank. All filled and disturbed areas will be stabilized and re-vegetated following construction. No significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works.

Plantings Approximately 500 trees will be removed over two phases to accommodate the golf course renovations. The City of Toronto, Urban Forestry Department have required the planting of replacement trees in the ratio of 3:1 to offset the immediate loss natural cover and to provide for an overall net gain in natural cover. New shrubs and ground cover is also required as part of the restoration plan for the site.

Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section 4.4.2 (H) Existing Resource-Based Uses -of the Authorities Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.
