  • State of the Wetlands in the Lake Simcoe Watershed Ontario Streams Technical Report No
    July 2018 State of the Wetlands in the Lake Simcoe Watershed Ontario Streams Technical Report No. 2018-01 Alexander Kissel, Habitat Technician & Alice Choi, GIS Technician, Ontario Streams ontariostreams.ca Summary Wetlands in the Lake Simcoe Watershed are critical to the health of the Lake and its surrounding ecosystem. They cover 18.4% of the surface area around the Lake or 52 847 hectares (ha). About 62.4% of these wetlands have been evaluated using the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System (OWES) Southern Manual. The distribution of wetlands vary with fewer and smaller wetlands on the Oak Ridges Moraine (7.1% of surface area), the Schomberg Clay Plains (5.5%) and the uplands west of the the Lake (10.9 to 12.7%), contrasting with the larger valley and shoreline wetlands in the lowlands around the Lake (25.7%). Small wetlands play an important role particularly in the landscapes where they make up a large portion of the wetlands. A high resolution (15 centimetre pixel) analysis of aerial imagery from 1999/2002 to 2013/2016 for the Lake Simcoe Watershed has shown that many small wetland losses, and the occasional larger ones, add up over this time period to a loss of almost eight square kilometres or 773 ha (1.5% of the total wetland area). This loss is higher than previous estimates using lower resolution (30-metre pixel) satellite imagery which cannot pick out the smaller losses that have a large cumulative impact. The highest losses have been from agriculture (46.4% of all losses), following in descending order by residential (10.5%), peat extraction (10.4%), canals (9.6%), highways/roads (6.6%), industrial/commercial (5.7%), fill (4.6%), dug-out ponds (4.3%), recreation (1.6%) and aggregates (0.3%).

  • Keith Bridge ERA Ad
    The history of transportation in Newmarket is now on display through eight bronzed plaques installed along the Keith Bridge on Davis Drive. Be sure to take a moment this summer to walk along the Keith Bridge on Davis Drive, view the public art and learn about the rich history of our Town. The newly installed plaques are a key part of the Town’s ongoing Canada 150 celebrations and were created by Artist Hans Honegger and sculptor Carolyn Butts of Bon Eco Design. This project was made possible by the expansion of the Keith Bridge to accommodate the Viva Rapid Transit system. For more information about the Keith Bridge, please visit newmarket.ca PLAQUE PLAQUE Ten thousand years ago families The river that flows under this of hunters were regularly passing bridge once carried canoes through this area in pursuit of laden with trade goods. big game animals.

  • Newmarket's History
    A Brief History of the Town of Newmarket In June, 1800, Timothy Rogers, a Vermont Quaker, explored the area around the Holland River and up to Lake Simcoe to find a suitable location for a contemplated Quaker settlement. The Quakers were disturbed as a result of difficulties encountered when this peaceful sect refused to take part in the rioting and bloodshed of the American Revolutionists. In 1801, Rogers, leading several Quaker families, left their homes in Vermont and Pennsylvania and secured land grants of 8,000 acres located at the east end of lots 93, 94, and 95 along Yonge Street in the former Townships of Whitchurch and King. It was easy for them to see the potential in these fertile rolling lands, through which flowed the Holland River, an important trading artery for both aboriginals and fur traders. Having arrived in the spring, these first Quaker settlers immediately began the arduous task of clearing the land for their homes and farms. Indeed, By Christmas of 1801, Joseph Hill had constructed a mill on the Holland River at what is now Fairy Lake, around which the settlement to be known as Newmarket sprouted. Over the years, Mr. Hill Hill Trading Post, also built a tannery and the first store and house, as well Main and Water Streets, as additional mills. It is unfortunate that this enterprising 1801 man, embittered over the terms of an 1804 sale of the north half of lot 93 to Elisha Beman, returned saddened and disappointed to the United States in 1812. Elisha Beman, through his marriage to Esther Sayre Robinson, the widow of Christopher Robinson, a distinguished United Empire Loyalist and member of the Legislative Assembly, gained an entree to the establishment and preferential treatment through the Family Compact.

  • Rouge River Rouge River
    Rouge River State of the Watershed Report Groundwater Quantity and Quality Goal: Groundwater of sufficient quantity and quality to support ecological functions, aquatic habitats, native fish communities, and sustainable human needs, including drinking water, agricultural, industrial, and commercial uses. Groundwater Quantity and Quality Key Findings: • New hydrogeologic data and modelling tools are now available as a result of the York- Peel-Durham-Toronto Conservation Authorities Moraine Coalition (YPDT-CAMC) Groundwater Management Study. • TRCA and its partners have identified and mapped three major regional aquifer systems across the watershed, namely the Oak Ridges (Upper Aquifer), Thorncliffe (Middle Aquifer), and Scarborough (Lower Aquifer). • Significant recharge and discharge zones as predicted by numerical modelling have been mapped and linked to baseflow measurements and coldwater stream habitats. • Baseline recharge targets have been established to guide future development design and approvals such that the protection of recharge functions can be assured. • Key regional recharge areas for the Rouge River watershed are located in the East Holland River watershed in the northeast and the Humber River watershed in the northwest. • Other elevated recharge areas are associated with the Oak Ridges Moraine in the upper most part of the watershed and Lake Iroquois sand plain in the lower Rouge. • Groundwater discharge is greatest in the middle reaches near Elgin Mills Road and 19 th Avenue where the Oak Ridges Aquifer is close to ground surface, and around Finch Avenue, where the Thorncliffe Aquifer is exposed in the floodplain. • Significant local recharge and discharge associated with a shallow aquifer system is especially important in supporting aquatic habitat on Upper Main Rouge River, Bruce Creek, Upper Robinson Creek, Upper Morningside Creek and Little Rouge River • Water use across the watershed has been mapped.

  • Environmental Setting
    City of Vaughan Official Plan Archaeology and First Nations Policy Study Page 6 The nature and potential magnitude of the threat that continued landscape change posed to a finite and non-renewable archaeological feature base between 1951 and 1991 is staggering; it is possible that more than 10,000 sites were destroyed during that period of which 25% represented significant archaeological features that merited some degree of archaeological investigation, since they could have contributed meaningfully to our understanding of the past (Coleman and Williamson 1994: Tables 2 and 3). It can be assumed that the reduction of the archaeological feature base of the City of Vaughan also took place at a serious rate. Archaeological sites also face a less direct, but equally serious form of threat, in which man-made changes to the landscape inadvertently alter or intensify destructive natural processes in adjoining regions. Increased run-off of surface water in the wake of forest clearance, for example, or hydrological fluctuations associated with industrial and transportation development may result in intensified rates of erosion on certain sites due to processes such as inundation. The amount of land (and hence the potential number of archaeological sites) which has been subjected to these destructive forces is impossible to quantify, but is likely to be considerable. While there has recently been a marked reduction in the rate of archaeological site destruction throughout much of the province, since certain municipalities adopted progressive planning policies concerning archaeological site conservation, the potential for the loss of archaeological resources in the future remains great, due to continuing growth and development.

  • Lake Simcoe Tributary Monitoring Data Report -- 1982 to 1992 Technical Report Imp
    Lake Simcoe Tributary Monitoring Data Report -- 1982 to 1992 Technical Report Imp. A.2 1994 LAKE SIMCOE TRIBUTARY MONITORING DATA REPORT --1982 TO 1992 Prepared by Geoffrey Peat and Michael Waiters, Environmental Services Department, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority for Lake Simcoe Environmental Management Strategy Technical Committee May, 1994 LSEMS Implementation Technical Report No. Imp A-2 LAKE SIMCOE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM FOREWORD This report is one of a series of technical reports prepared in the course of the Lake Simcoe Environmental Management Strategy (LSEMS) Implementation Program. This program is under the direction of the LSEMS Steering Committee, comprised of representatives of the following agencies: • Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs; • Ministry of the Environment and Energy; • Ministry of Natural Resources; and • Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority. The Lake Simcoe Environmental Management Strategy (LSEMS) studies were initiated in 1981 in response to concern over the loss of a coldwater fishery in Lake Simcoe. The studies concluded that increased urban growth and poor agricultural practices within the drainage basin were filling the lake with excess nutrients. These nutrients promote increased weed growth in the lake with the end result being a decrease in the water's oxygen supply. The "Final Report and Recommendations of the Steering Committee" was released in 1985. The report recommended that a phosphorus control strategy be designed to reduce phosphorus inputs from rural and urban sources. In 1990 the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority was named lead agency to coordinate the LSEMS Implementation Program, a five year plan to improve the water quality of Lake Simcoe.
