Receipt of a request from the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville for conveyance of land for the extension of Park Drive, south of Burkholder Street (within the hamlet of Stouffville), in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, Regional Municipality of York.

Moved by: Ron Moeser Seconded by: David Barrow

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of a request from the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville to convey certain lands for the extension of Park Drive, south of Burkholder Street (within the hamlet of Stouffville), in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, Regional Municipality of York;

AND WHEREAS it is in the opinion of TRCA that it is in the best interest of TRCA in furthering its objectives, as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act, to cooperate with the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville in this instance;

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT a parcel of TRCA-owned land containing 0.057 hectares (0.141 acres), more or less, required for the extension of Park Drive, said land being Part of Lots 34 and 35, Concession 9, Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, Regional Municipality of York, designated as Part 2 on a draft Plan on Survey prepared by Holding Jones Vanderveen Inc., Ontario Land Surveyors, under their Job No. 07-1880-REF1, dated August 28, 2009, be conveyed to the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville;

THAT consideration be the nominal sum of $2.00, plus all legal, survey and other costs to be paid by the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville;

THAT an archaeological investigation be completed, with any mitigative measures being carried out to the satisfaction of TRCA staff, at the expense of the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville;

THAT the conveyance of land be subject to a landscaping plan, subject to the approval of TRCA staff;

878 AND FURTHER THAT the authorized TRCA officials be directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the signing and execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject lands form part of a larger acreage acquired by TRCA from The Regional Municipality of York and the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville on July 16, 1980, under the Duffins Creek Flood Plain Lands Acquisition Project. The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville has conveyed lands to TRCA over the years for nominal consideration of $2.00 and has requested that the TRCA-owned lands required for the extension of Park Drive be conveyed for the nominal consideration of $2.00.

This municipal road project has been reviewed under the Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process by TRCA staff. The proposal consists of reconstructing Park Drive from Main Street southward to Burkholder Street, extending the unopened roadway further south over the Stouffville Creek through this section, and connecting the new road to the existing Park Drive which was built as part of the residential development south of the existing library/pool facility. The EA process has been completed and TRCA staff is presently reviewing a permit application pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 for the proposed Park Drive bridge crossing over the Stouffville Creek. The permit application will be considered at a future Executive Committee Meeting.

In addition to the fee simple conveyance, the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville will require temporary working easements across TRCA property as part of the construction of Park Drive. A plan illustrating the fee simple conveyance and temporary easement locations is attached.

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.

FINANCIAL DETAILS The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing this transaction.

880 RES.#B135/09 - CITY OF TORONTO Request for a Permanent Easement for the Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer By-pass Pipe Don River Watershed, City of Toronto (Toronto East York Community Council Area), CFN 42948. Receipt of a request from the City of Toronto to provide a permanent easement for the Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer by-pass pipe, west of Coxwell Boulevard, north of O'Connor Drive (behind Barbara Crescent), Don River watershed, City of Toronto (Toronto East York Community Council Area).

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Ron Moeser

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of a request from the City of Toronto to provide a permanent easement for the Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer by-pass pipe, west of Coxwell Boulevard, north of O'Connor Drive (behind Barbara Crescent), Don River watershed, City of Toronto (Toronto East York Community Council Area);

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 cooperate with the City of Toronto in this instance;

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT a permanent easement containing a total of 0.20 hectares (0.49 acres), more or less, be granted to the City of Toronto for the Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer by-pass pipe, said land being west of Coxwell Boulevard, north of O'Connor Drive (behind Barbara Crescent), City of Toronto (Toronto East York Community Council Area), as shown on a plan entitled: EASEMENT REQUIREMENTS, prepared by City of Toronto - Technical Services, Survey and Mapping, under their Job No. 2009-0787-C, dated September 3, 2009;

THAT consideration be the nominal sum of $2.00, plus all legal, survey and other costs to be paid by the City of Toronto;

THAT the City of Toronto is to fully indemnify TRCA from any and all claims from injuries, damages or costs of any nature resulting in any way, either directly or indirectly, from the granting of this easement or the carrying out of construction;

THAT an archaeological investigation be completed, with any mitigative measures being carried out to the satisfaction of TRCA staff, at the expense of the City of Toronto;

THAT all TRCA lands disturbed by the proposed works be revegetated/stabilized following construction and, where deemed appropriate by TRCA staff, a landscape plan be prepared for TRCA staff review and approval in accordance with existing TRCA landscaping guidelines;

THAT a permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 be obtained prior to commencement of construction;

881 THAT said easement be subject to approval of the Minister of Natural Resources in accordance with Section 21(2) of the Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter C.27, as amended;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the signing and execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #11/08, held on January 30, 2009, Resolution #A314/08 was approved as follows:

WHEREAS a very large sanitary sewer, known as the Coxwell trunk, in the City of Toronto is showing signs of structural instability;

AND WHEREAS the City of Toronto is looking at all possible options for repair or replacement of the damaged section of pipe, along with plans to twin the sewer in accordance with the Wet Weather Flow Management Master Plan;

AND WHEREAS failure of the existing pipe could result in the diversion of sanitary sewage to the Don River if alternative measures to contain the flow are not in place;

AND WHEREAS the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) wants to ensure that every effort is made to contain the flows and avoid any diversion to the Don River, but recognizes that an emergency response plan must be in place to deal with any diversion that might occur should the pipe fail before a replacement mechanism for the damaged section of pipe can be put in place;

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA requests the City of Toronto to take every possible action to protect the Don River from any possible sewage overflows;

THAT the Chief Administrative Officer be authorized to approve Ontario Regulation 166/06 permits to the City of Toronto for the Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer to facilitate an emergency overflow, a new section of sewer to bypass the damaged section, and any emergency repairs and other works associated with the implementation of an emergency response plan to deal with diversion, treatment and cleanup of any sewage flows to the Don River and Harbour, should that become necessary between Executive Committee meetings;

THAT the City of Toronto be requested to proceed with the twinning of the Coxwell trunk as soon as possible as part of the City's comprehensive plan to reduce the frequency and severity of combined sewer overflows;

THAT City of Toronto staff be requested to present the Emergency Response Plan to the Authority once developed;

AND FURTHER THAT regular updates be provided to the Authority regarding the Emergency Response Plan and any measures undertaken.

882 The City of Toronto has formally requested a permanent easement for the Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer (CSTS) by-pass pipe, west of Coxwell Boulevard, north of O'Connor Drive (behind Barbara Crescent). In 2008, cracks were found in the CSTS during the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed sewer twining project currently being undertaken by the City of Toronto. The CSTS was built in the 1950's, services the north-eastern portion of the city, and conveys sewage for more than 750,000 people. The portion of the existing damaged sewer pipe is located beneath 11 private properties on Barbara Crescent. To eliminate the imminent danger of raw sewage seeping from the existing cracked sewer, a by-pass pipe is being constructed as a permanent solution to this problem.

The CSTS by-pass pipe will be located partially within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and entirely within the Regulated Area of the Lower Don River. A permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 for the construction of the by-pass pipe will be issued in accordance with Authority Resolution #A314/08 as noted above.

The subject TRCA-owned lands were acquired from the Township of East York on November 24, 1961 under the Don River Flood Plain Lands Acquisition Project.

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 Toronto has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing this transaction.

884 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR EXECUTIVE ACTION

RES.#B136/09 - REQUEST FOR DISPOSAL OF TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY-OWNED LAND North of King Street East, east of Old King Road (269 King Street East - Bolton), CFN 42978. Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is in receipt of a request from Bill and Gillian Smillie to explore the possibility of a sale of a fragment of TRCA-owned land located north of King Street East, east of Old King Road (269 King Street East - Bolton), Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, Humber River watershed.

Moved by: Suzan Hall Seconded by: Ron Moeser

THAT the potential disposal of a fragment of land located north of King Street East, east of Old King Road (269 King Street East - Bolton), Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, be referred to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff for review and discussion in accordance with established TRCA policies;

AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action. CARRIED BACKGROUND This request is being brought to the attention of the Executive Committee in accordance with Resolution #26, adopted by TRCA at Authority Meeting #1/91, held on February 22, 1991.

During a routine property inspection by staff earlier this year, it appeared that Mr. and Mrs. Smillie's house was encroaching onto TRCA land. Staff commissioned a survey of the property boundary which confirmed that part of a two-storey addition, wooden deck / platform, as well as a post and wire fence is encroaching on TRCA property. As a result a letter has been received from Bill and Gillian Smillie, requesting to purchase a fragment of TRCA-owned land to resolve the encroachment. The Smille's purchased their house at 269 King Street East on April 28, 2000. This private residential property borders on TRCA property to the north and the west.

It would appear that sometime between the original TRCA acquisition of the adjacent property on September 16, 1986 and prior to the Smillie purchase, the house at 269 King Street East was reconstructed and/or expanded onto TRCA property.

At Executive Committee meeting #7/09, held on September 11, 2009, staff was directed to prepare a discussion paper on encroachments on TRCA-owned land. Staff will consider cases such as this when preparing the discussion paper.

TRCA, Town of Caledon, and Regional Municipality of Peel staff will be circulated the land sale proposal for review and comment.

885 A plan illustrating the location of the subject lands is attached.

______887 RES.#B137/09 - ADMINISTRATION OF ONTARIO REGULATION 166/06 Draft guidelines to support conservation authority administration of the ‘Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation” (April 21, 2008), prepared by Ministry of Natural Resources/Conservation Ontario Section 28 Peer Review and Implementation Committee.

Moved by: Ron Moeser Seconded by: Richard Whitehead

WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) administers Ontario Regulation 166/06, “Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation” under Section 28(1) of the Conservation Authorities Act;

AND WHEREAS TRCA, through its Business Excellence objective, is committed to improve and streamline the administration of regulation compliance;

AND WHEREAS Draft Guidelines to Support Conservation Authority Administration of the 'Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation' (April 21, 2008) prepared by the Ministry of Natural Resources/Conservation Ontario Section 28 Peer Review and Implementation Committee have been endorsed by Conservation Ontario Council and submitted to Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) for approval;

AND WHEREAS Conservation Ontario has circulated the document to conservation authority staff for consideration relative to the administration of their regulatory program;

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA staff be directed to consider the Draft Guidelines to Support Conservation Authority Administration of the ‘Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation’ in the administration and implementation of Ontario Regulation 166/06 as outlined in the staff report. CARRIED BACKGROUND In May 2006, the Minister of Natural Resources approved individual “Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulations” for all 36 conservation authorities (CAs) in the province including TRCA, consistent with Ontario Regulation 97/04 (Generic Regulation) under Section 28 (1) of the Conservation Authorities Act (CA Act). In June 2006, the Ministry of Natural Resources/Conservation Ontario Section 28 Regulation Peer Review and Implementation Committee (the MNR/CO Committee) was formed for the purpose of information sharing across CAs to facilitate a consistent approach to regulation and policy implementation. The committee membership consists of CA staff from across the Province of Ontario, including a representative from TRCA, Conservation Ontario and MNR.

888 The MNR/CO Committee developed Draft Guidelines to Support Conservation Authority Administration of the 'Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation' (April 21, 2008), (Draft Guidelines). The Draft Guidelines deal specifically with the regulatory role of CAs under Section 28 of the CA Act and support the implementation of the individual regulations which were approved by the Minister in May 2006. The Committee drafted and conducted extensive review of the Draft Guidelines, including eight regional consultation sessions for CA staff in 2007 and 2008. Comments were also received from MNR staff and staff from the office of the Mining and Lands Commissioner. At the April 28, 2008 Annual General Meeting of Conservation Ontario, Council passed the following resolution:

That the “Draft Guidelines to Support Conservation Authority Administration of the ‘Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation” be endorsed for submission to MNR for approval;

AND THAT the document be circulated to CA staff for consideration relative to their Conservation Authority’s administration of the regulatory program.

This document does not prescribe policies to the CAs but is intended to provide a framework around which local board-approved CA policies can be created, or existing policies adjusted, to encourage consistency amongst CAs. While the overall approach of this document is to encourage consistency in the interpretation and application of the Section 28 Regulations, it is recognized that each CA’s policies may vary from these guidelines in recognition of the unique characteristics of its watersheds. At the same time, it is the responsibility of each individual CA to ensure their policies are defensible based on the wording of the CA Act and their individual CA Regulations.

As per the Council resolution, Conservation Ontario endorsed and submitted the Draft Guidelines to MNR for approval. The Ministry of Natural Resources approval process involves posting the guidelines document on the Environmental Bill of Rights registry. It is anticipated that this posting will occur in December, 2009.

The MNR/CO Committee conducted a one day provincial training session on the Draft Guidelines for CA management staff in 2008 and will be hosting a two day provincial training session for CA Section 28 staff on October 7th and 8th, 2009 at Black Creek Pioneer Village. TRCA staff will be attending this session.

889 RATIONALE On a day to day basis, TRCA’s Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP), 1994, is used to guide TRCA’s role in the planning and development review process and assists with the implementation of responsibilities under the Planning Act and CA Act. Similarly, TRCA’s Lake Ontario Waterfront Program, 1980, and related program updates, provide guidance with respect to planning and development along the Lake Ontario waterfront. In June 2006, TRCA adopted transitional policies and guidelines to facilitate the transition from TRCA’s previous "Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation" to the Ontario Regulation 166/06, TRCA’s new Regulation approved in May 2006. Additionally, TRCA has implemented two interim initiatives, “Permission for Minor Works Protocol”, (2006) and “Permission for Routine Infrastructure Works Protocol”, (2007), to streamline the approval process for proposals that are either minor in nature or routine in nature and do not impact the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land. These protocols include a list of eligible works and evaluation criteria within the context of the new regulation and represent the initial steps of updating TRCA’s Regulation policies.

With the approval of the new CA Regulations in 2006, CAs now regulate wetlands and areas adjacent to wetlands which help sustain essential hydrologic functions and where development could interfere or negatively affect these functions. While TRCA has implemented a Regulation along the Lake Ontario waterfront since 1979, the 2006 Regulations also required all CAs to regulate the shoreline of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River System. The Draft Guidelines prepared by the MNR/CO Committee provide guidance in the interpretation and implementation of all aspects of the Regulation, but are particularly helpful with respect to the wetland and shoreline components.

Since the endorsement and circulation by Conservation Ontario, TRCA staff has informally taken into consideration the Draft Guidelines relative to the administration of Ontario Regulation 166/06. Staff view the document as an implementation tool to complement and enhance our existing regulatory policies. TRCA is currently undertaking a comprehensive policy review and update that will result in a new policy document to guide both our planning and regulatory responsibilities. A draft of the new policy document is anticipated in 2010, which will be subject to extensive municipal and public consultation prior to consideration for approval by the Authority. The proposed new Regulation policies will build upon the framework of the Draft Guidelines to ensure consistency with the provincial direction on the interpretation and implementation of the Regulation but will also reflect the characteristics of TRCA’s jurisdiction and watersheds. In light of the provincial training workshop for CA staff and in an effort to enhance our existing TRCA regulatory policy regime until such time as TRCA’s new policy document is approved, staff is recommending that the Draft Guidelines prepared by the MNR/CO Committee be formally received and acknowledged for consideration in the administration and implementation of TRCA’s regulatory program.

890 SUMMARY The Draft Guidelines to Support Conservation Authority Administration of the ‘Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation were developed by the MNR/CO Committee to assist CAs and promote consistency with the interpretation and implementation of their regulatory programs. This document is a useful tool to complement and enhance TRCA’s existing regulatory policy regime and support the implementation of Ontario Regulation 166/06.

WHEREAS healthy ecosystems provide a variety of ecosystem goods and services such as habitat and biodiversity (natural heritage), climate regulation, air pollution removal, oxygen production, stormwater interception, erosion control, groundwater infiltration, shade from ultraviolet sun rays, energy use reduction, natural aesthetics conducive to nature appreciation and mental health, and landscapes for outdoor recreation;

AND WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and municipal staff are frequently asked to approve alterations and removals of ecosystem components during the municipal plan and permit review process and other land management activities;

AND WHEREAS TRCA's Terrestrial Natural Heritage System Strategy recommends that compensation could be considered as a method of achieving the regional target system and watershed plan objectives;

AND WHEREAS there is a need for a consistent approach for valuing ecosystem goods and services, and a number of municipalities are exploring ecological goods and services as part of their Official Plan updates;

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT staff be directed to develop a protocol for determining compensation for ecosystem services to be included in TRCA's Living City Policies and development review;

891 THAT staff seek input on the proposed protocol from municipalities, academia, ENGOs, development industry/stakeholders, Conservation Ontario's Ecological Goods and Services Working Group, and the South Central Ontario Conservation Authorities (SCOCA);

THAT staff continue to participate in and/or help coordinate current and ongoing research on compensation and ecosystem goods and services, locally and in broader study areas to further refine the protocol;

THAT staff report to the Authority with the final draft of the policy and protocol, and the results of the consultation, for approval;

AND FURTHER THAT staff seek funding for: a) the development of case studies with municipal and industry partners to test the implementation of the policy and protocol in practical situations, b) for the development of a TRCA database to assist in the valuation and tracking of compensation projects corporately, c) to pursue other avenues of research to improve the science behind the valuation protocol. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority approved the Terrestrial Natural Heritage System Strategy and its target system in 2007. The Strategy was approved in principle to allow for discussions to occur with municipalities on implementing the target system through Official Plan implementation. The conceptual nature of the target system allows for flexibility at the site level as long as the Strategy's overall goals and targets are achieved. TRCA is reviewing its Living City Policies to include a compensation component. A number of municipalities are looking to incorporate ecosystem goods and services frameworks as part of their Official Plan review.

TRCA and municipalities already use compensation as a last resort in the development review and permitting process. The development industry has approached TRCA to suggest that staff consider the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) wetland mitigation banking program as a template for a TRCA compensation approach. Staff conducted a literature review of mitigation banking protocols worldwide and formed a working group with some development stakeholders. Staff also embraced this as an opportunity to take stock of current TRCA compensation activities.

RATIONALE In their ongoing business, TRCA and municipalities engage with developers, landowners and provincial ministries in negotiations regarding the compensation for impacts stemming from various types of development and infrastructure projects. These negotiations are generally dealt with on a case by case basis without stated screening guidelines, valuation methodology and corporate level documentation. It is timely that staff develop a protocol for the valuation and compensation of ecosystems as well as a tracking system for individual case history and for the cumulative regional outcome. As municipalities are incorporating natural heritage systems in their Official Plan updates it is important to support them with tools to allow for appropriate flexibility.

892 The purpose of this project, "Ecosystem Valuation and Compensation Protocol", is: 1. to formalize compensation within TRCA corporate policy to achieve The Living City objectives and to assist municipalities in their Official Plan reviews; and, 2. to develop a valuation protocol to ensure replicable and traceable evaluation based on the true functions and values of lands to be converted.

In this initiative of formalizing compensation, it must be clear to all parties involved that compensation will remain the last option in the review of development proposals, once avenues of avoidance and mitigation have been explored. Only under certain circumstances will compensation be considered; protection is still the fundamental key driver in all planning negotiations.

The products of this project will include: z Research: a literature review of ecosystem goods and services and compensation theory, and application in case studies. z Protocol: a valuation methodology and tool for decision-making in compensation cases. z Policy: a compensation component under the Living City Policies giving TRCA direction for administrating compensation. z Consultation: a consultation process involving an internal TRCA review committee, a municipal working group and a stakeholders review group. z Database: a georeferenced spreadsheet to facilitate the quantification of individual cases, and the documentation of compensation history corporately.

As well, staff will be giving a talk entitled Compromise or Compensation: A Valuation Methodology at an Ecological Economics Workshop being held at this year's A.D. Latornell Symposium, themed "The Currency of Ecology", in November 2009. The presentation will cover an overview of the literature review and suggest approaches for valuing ecosystems that would contribute to achieving The Living City vision.

The Terrestrial Natural Heritage Systems Strategy's target system scenario includes both "existing" natural cover and "potential" natural cover. The desire to remove parts of the target system may be to meet other urban design objectives; for example, compact urban form, which in turn may reduce the amount of infrastructure. However, when ecosystem services are fully accounted for, the loss of existing or potential natural cover may not be worth the local gains in urban design. Therefore, a compensation protocol needs to provide clear instructions as to when compensation is appropriate or not.

Strict conditions would need to apply so that actual restoration is sought rather than cash in lieu and that the outcome results in a net gain in ecological functions and ecosystem services. Compensation thus provides the level of flexibility that is often needed in decision-making at the development proposal scale in order to successfully implement the regional scale Strategy, watershed plans and municipal environmental policies.

In order to achieve its purpose, a TRCA compensation protocol and policy should include the following concepts and principles:

893 Screening Screening would need to be based on a hierarchy of avoidance and mitigation over compensation, and that prefers on-site over off-site compensation. The screening process could use a rapid assessment method to quickly determine the potential to achieve compensation before entering into detailed ecosystem valuation and comparison of scenarios.

Valuation The valuation methodology should provide consistency and acknowledge the value of ecosystem services. Valuation would need to be based on a broader list of ecosystem services than the current practice and would encompass biodiversity, water management, air quality and carbon management, for example. Valuation would also take into account uncertainty and time lag associated with achieving the desired net ecosystem gains.

Ecological Outcome The main condition for approving a compensation proposal needs to be the attainment of a net gain in ecosystem services. A methodology for comparing scenarios should provide a clear path for determining gains within individual, and across multiple, disciplines. The protocol should be based in part on the Terrestrial Natural Heritage System Strategy's criteria for building the target system; for example, compensation should contribute to net gains in natural cover quality, distribution and quantity.

Cost Outcome A main goal of this project, aside from the initial screening of proposals, is to assign a fair market value for lands to be converted to allow for real gains elsewhere.

Project Timing

Literature review and writing Ongoing in 2009 Seek Authority direction October 2009 Draft protocol, policy and database October 2009 to January 2010 Municipal and stakeholder involvement November 2009 to February 2010 Finalize protocol, policy and database March and April 2010 Seek Authority approval, revisions May 2010

It is anticipated that the protocol will be reviewed and refined as necessary after its approval as its implementation through case studies and new research inform the process.

The project is intended to provide the development community, municipalities and reviewers the consistency and clarity they need. Another benefit of this project is that TRCA may participate in the applied research on ecosystem services and compensation practice that is occurring locally, provincially, nationally and globally. TRCA is participating on Conservation Ontario's Ecosystem Goods and Services Working Group to discuss and coordinate a consistent approach to valuing ecosystems. TRCA staff is also contributing with other conservation authorities and municipalities on a University of Toronto research project into Ontario-wide incentives for landowners to enhance natural cover on their properties (in proposal).

894 FINANCIAL DETAILS A literature review and preliminary writing have been conducted using municipal funding for capital projects (Durham, York, Peel and Toronto) in Terrestrial Natural Heritage. Future costs are estimated at a total of $42,000 for 2010, not including in-kind contributions from staff in other divisions. Some funding will come from municipal capital under Natural Heritage. Staff will also seek funding through other sources.

RES.#B139/09 - DON VALLEY BRICK WORKS Engineered biodredging system and nutrient management plan for ponds. Sole source contract to C&M Aquatics Ltd. for the design and implementation of an engineered biodredging system and nutrient management plan to clean out ponds at the Don Valley Brick Works.

Moved by: Ron Moeser Seconded by: Richard Whitehead

THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) retain C&M Aquatics Ltd. to provide both products and services associated with the design and implementation of an engineered biodredging system and nutrient management plan for the Don Valley Brick Works ponds, through sole source purchasing, at a cost not to exceed $63,972 plus applicable taxes. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Don Valley Brick Works is a former quarry and industrial site situated in the Don River Valley in Toronto. The property is collectively managed as a natural area by the City of Toronto and TRCA. Restoration of the site in 1997 included the construction of a series of four online ponds. The ponds are fed by a diversion of nearby Mud Creek and are flanked by interconnected paths and interpretive signage. A site assessment in the fall of 2008 by C&M Aquatics concluded that the ponds are eutrophic and filling with organic sediments at a rate that will necessitate a costly physical clean-out within the next three to five years.

To help reduce or eliminate the need for mechanical dredging, an innovative wastewater treatment technology is proposed. The proprietary technology, called the Blue Frog System, is a specialized type of electric aeration/circulation system that digests the accumulated organic sludge from the ponds anaerobically (biodredging), thereby reducing the amount of internal nutrient loading and increasing the overall depth of the pond. This technology has previously been used in Western Canada, the U.S. and Mexico in agricultural applications and for municipal wastewater treatment. The use of the system at the Brick Works ponds will be its first application in a naturalized environment. 895 The system costs significantly less than mechanical dredging and the technology also helps to prevent disturbance to flora and fauna in and around the pond. The Blue Frog System would be installed in parallel with ‘Biohaven Floating Islands’ to help to manage nutrient levels in ponds. The floating islands use wetland plants and associated bacteria and organisms to tie up and assimilate nutrients, rendering them less available for nuisance species such as algae. In contrast to the Blue Frog System, the Biohaven Floating Islands are permanently installed for ongoing nutrient management. The Islands have been used in Ontario and other parts of Canada within stormwater ponds and in other applications to create habitat. Despite this, data on their performance is limited because in most applications of this product to date, the proponents did not intend to carry out extensive post-installation monitoring.

A monitoring program, to be carried out by TRCA’s Sustainable Technologies Evaluation Program, in partnership with C&M Aquatics is also planned in order to assess the benefits of these two innovative technologies. To date, C&M Aquatics have completed their assessment of the ponds and submitted a plan to address the issue with these two technologies. They have also provided a budget estimate for all the products and services that would be required to implement this plan.

RATIONALE Implementing these innovative systems offers the opportunity to remediate the Don Valley Brick Works ponds and evaluate the performance of promising alternatives to the expensive and intrusive dredging practices that are commonly used.

Staff is recommending award of the contract on a sole source basis as per Section 1.14.1 of TRCA's Purchasing Policy as follows:

The goods and services are only available from one source or one supplier by reason existence of exclusive rights (patent, copyright or licence)

C&M Aquatics Ltd. has an exclusive distribution agreement with the manufacturers of Absolute Aeration, the manufacturer of the Blue Frog technology. Further, C&M Aquatics Inc. has agreed to provide in-kind support to the project by waiving fees for system design engineering, engineer supervision of system installation and some aspects of the monitoring program.

FINANCIAL DETAILS The total cost to be paid to C&M Aquatics Ltd. for equipment and labour will not exceed $63,972 plus GST, and will be fully covered by funding provided by the City of Toronto to account 416-96.

896 RES.#B140/09 - SHERWOOD PARK TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS Phase 3 - Award of Contract. Approval to act as sole sourced project manager and proceed with Phase 3 trail improvements at Sherwood Park within the City of Toronto.

Moved by: Ron Moeser Seconded by: Richard Whitehead

THAT approval be granted to assume project management responsibilities as requested by the City of Toronto for Phase 3 trail improvements at Sherwood Park, City of Toronto;

THAT the contract to implement the approved Phase 3 trail improvements be awarded to R&M Construction Ltd., subject to a negotiated contract price within the maximum upset limit of $100,000, plus applicable taxes;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized officials be directed to take the action necessary to implement the project including obtaining any approvals and the signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #1/08, held on February 28, 2008, Resolution #A3/08 was approved, authorizing staff to enter into a sole source agreement with the City of Toronto to facilitate the implementation of various natural environmental and other capital projects on behalf of the City. Included in this list was the request for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to act as the contract administrator for the Sherwood Park Trail Improvements.

Subsequently, R&M Construction Ltd. was retained by TRCA through a tender process to undertake the work as it was concluded that the proposal from R&M Construction best met the criteria set out in the tender and provided the best combination of value and services.

The proposed trail improvements consisted of three phases. Due to capital budget restrictions, only Phases 1 and 2 were completed at that time.

City of Toronto Economic Development , Culture, and Tourism staff has now requested that TRCA again act on their behalf to implement the final phase of the work, involving re-construction of a set of wooden steps. Design drawings and details are currently being prepared by the City's consultant, Schollen & Co. The consultant has established the estimated construction cost of the Phase 3 works at approximately $80,000.

City staff has requested that R&M Construction Ltd. be engaged once again by TRCA to implement the final phase. The letter of request from City staff is outlined in Attachment 1.

RATIONALE The City has asked that TRCA retain R&M Construction to complete the final phase of this work since:

1. The project site is located within a sensitive forested environment, with soils subject to erosion and groundwater discharge. Through their previous work, R&M has demonstrated a commitment to minimizing disturbance to the environment during construction. 897 2. The Phase 3 component consists of construction methodology similar to those used in the previous phases. R&M has proven expertise in constructing these structures off-site and installing them with minimal disturbance. 3. Working within this sensitive and steeply sloped site requires specialized equipment, all of which R&M has and has previously used. 4. Sherwood Park is to remain an actively used facility during the construction phase. R&M has demonstrated a capability to manage the public to avoid conflicts with their construction activities. This will be critical during the Phase 3 work.

As a result, staff recommends award of the contract on a sole source basis as per Section 1.14.5 of TRCA's Purchasing Policy as follows:

The required goods and services are to be supplied by a particular vendor or supplier having special knowledge, skills, expertise or experience that cannot be provided by any other supplier.

FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for this project will be recovered from the City of Toronto, Economic Development, Culture, and Tourism Department as part of a Sole Source Agreement between the City of Toronto and TRCA. All of TRCA's project costs are fully recoverable as part of this agreement.

RES.#B142/09 - TOMMY THOMPSON PARK MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION Tender RSD09-29. Award of Tender RSD09-29 for Tommy Thompson Park South Road Paving Works, City of Toronto.

Moved by: Ron Moeser Seconded by: Richard Whitehead

THAT Contract RSD09-29 for Tommy Thompson Park South Road Paving Works, City of Toronto, be awarded to Melrose Paving Company Limited for the total cost not to exceed $190,311.20, plus applicable taxes, it being the lowest bid meeting Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to the action necessary to implement the contract including obtaining all required approvals and the signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND Tommy Thompson Park (TTP) (also known as the Leslie Street Spit) has been under construction using landfill from operations in the Greater Toronto Area since the early 1950's. TTP is a significant feature within Lake Ontario Park and falls under its master plan initiatives to improve the infrastructure including trails and existing roadways. Maintenance of the roadway system within TTP is needed to improve access through the park for staff and public use. The TTP South Road Paving Works consists of the reconstruction and resurfacing of approximately 1600 metres of existing asphalt roadway including the asphalt paving of a pedestrian pathway.

RATIONALE Tender RSD09-29 was publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial News on September 1, 2009. Tender packages were sent to seven suppliers as follows: z Melrose Paving Company Ltd.; z Four Seasons Site Development Ltd.; z Gazzola Paving Ltd.; z IL Duca Construction Inc.; z IPAC Construction Ltd.; z Mopal Construction Ltd.; z Serve Construction Ltd..

902 The Tender Opening Committee opened tenders on September 18, 2009 with the following results: Tender RSD09-29 Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan Implementation

BIDDERS TOTAL 10% Bid (excluding G.S.T.) Security Melrose Paving Company Limited $190,311.20 Yes Serve Construction Limited $212,857.15 No Mopal Construction Limited $234,120.00 Yes

A bid security deposit of 10% of the contract value was required to guarantee the tenderer’s quotation bid. Serve Construction Limited submitted a bid security in a form that was not stipulated in the tender documents and as therefore disqualified from the bidding process.

Based on a review of the qualifying bids received against staff’s cost estimate, staff has determined that the bids are of reasonable value. Upon further assessment of the lowest bidder’s experience and ability to undertake similar projects, staff recommend that Contract RSD09-29 be awarded to Melrose Paving Company Limited for the total cost not to exceed $190,311.20, plus GST, as they are the lowest bidder that meets TRCA specifications.

RES.#B143/09 - SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBOURHOOD RETROFIT ACTION PLAN (SNAP) County Court, Brampton Consultant Selection. Award of contract for the preparation of Phases 1 and 2 of the Sustainable Neighbourhood Retrofit Action Plan for the County Court neighbourhood in Brampton.

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Anthony Perruzza

THAT the contract for the preparation of Phases 1 and 2 of the Sustainable Neighbourhood Retrofit Action Plan (SNAP) for the County Court neighbourhood in Brampton be awarded to the consulting team lead by LURA and Planning Alliance, at a total cost not to exceed $133,280, plus applicable taxes;

903 AND FURTHER THAT authorized officials be directed to take the action necessary to implement the contract including obtaining any approvals and the signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND In follow-up to watershed plans and directions toward catchment-based, neighbourhood scale implementation planning, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is initiating a pilot program of SNAP projects in collaboration with municipal partners. The purpose of this initiative is to identify ways to accelerate the transformation of existing communities to urban sustainability and increase their contributions to climate change mitigation and adaptation. The SNAPs will showcase a broad range of innovative sustainability initiatives of TRCA and its partners, and support the implementation of various watershed and community planning initiatives within a retrofit context.

The first SNAP pilot project is located in Brampton, Ontario and is focused on a neighbourhood called “County Court”. The community is bounded by Hurontario Street to the west, Steeles Avenue East and the Etobicoke Creek to the north, Kennedy Road to the east, and Highway 407 to the south. Key partners include the Region of Peel, City of Brampton, and local residents and landowners, among others. The development of the SNAP will be managed by TRCA and guided by a project management team comprised of representatives from TRCA, Region of Peel and City of Brampton. Technical staff, the community and other partners will be engaged throughout the process.

Consulting services are required to undertake the first two phases of SNAP development: (1) characterization of existing conditions and (2) preliminary evaluation of retrofit options. Terms of Reference for the third and final phase will be refined following the second phase. The selected consultant team will engage TRCA, Region of Peel, City of Brampton and the community in: z characterization of the neighbourhood across a variety of sustainability themes; z identification of a “long list” of potential retrofit options; z development of evaluation criteria; z preliminary evaluation of integrated sustainable retrofit options; z the identification of a “short list” of integrated scenarios for further evaluation; and z development of a work plan to fully develop the SNAP in Phase 3.

RATIONALE The consultant selection process involved a Request for Expression of Interest followed by a Request for Proposal as outlined below.

Request for Expression of Interest A Request for Expression of Interest (REOI) was developed to survey consultant interest in undertaking SNAP projects within TRCA’s jurisdiction and to identify prospective multi-disciplinary teams to invite to bid on individual SNAP projects. The REOI was publicly issued on July 24, 2009 on a bid posting website (www.biddingo.com) and sent directly to 25 consulting firms known to TRCA to have qualifications in sustainable community planning, environmental regeneration and/or innovative stormwater management.

904 Prospective bidders were asked to outline their interest in undertaking one or more of a potential three pilot SNAPs; their team’s unique approach; corporate information; qualifications and availability. A total of nineteen (19) EOIs were received on August 13, 2009 from the following teams: z The Planning Partnership with Greenberg Consultants, Applied Ecological Services, SCS Consulting Group Ltd, Build Green Services, Poulos & Chung, ERA Architects, and Dr. Mitchell E. Kosny; z Marbek Resource Consultants Ltd with HBS Marketing, Fotenn Planning and Urban Design, LGL Ltd, M Cappe Consulting, Taylor Hazell Architects, Smart Cities Research Services, iTRANs and Urbantech; z LURA and Planning Alliance with ARUP, ERA Architects, Aquafor Beech Ltd and Beacon Environmental; z GHD with Ogilvie, Ogilvie & Company; z DPRA with Malone Given Parsons Ltd, HDR / iTRANs, Beacon Environmental, Bmi / pace and Environ; z Stantec; z du Toit Allsopp Hillier with TMIG Inc, Schollen & Company, Cobalt Engineering, Savanta Inc and Freeman Associates; z AECOM; z IBI Group with Baird Sampson Neuert Architects, Cobalt Engineering and Stratos; z Hardy Stevenson and Associates with GENIVAR, HDR / iTRANs, Azimuth Environmental, and Kelleher Environmental; z SeeLine Group; z Halsall with the Design Centre for Sustainability (University of British Columbia); z Morrison Hershfield with Pound & Stewart; z ENVision – the Hough Group / Dillon Consulting with Sweeny, Sterling Finlayson & Co, N. Barry Lyon Consultants, Enermodal, PlanLab and Evergreen; z HB Lanarc with Eco-Industrial Solutions and Aquafor Beech; z AMEC Philips with AMEC Earth & Environmental and Macauley Shiomi Howson; z LAND Inc with Enermodal Engineering, Informa, EHC, Breathe Architects, EKOS and N. Barry Lyon Consultants; z AET Group; and z Sweeny, Sterling Finlayson & Co with ENVision – the Hough Group / Dillon Consulting, Lord Consulting, N. Barry Lyon Consultants, Evergreen, Enermodal and PlanLab

Consultants were advised that teams with relevant skills and experience would be invited to submit detailed proposals for individual SNAPs as Terms of Reference are developed. The EOIs will be maintained on file and considered for other SNAPs within TRCA's jurisdiction.

To determine which teams would be invited to submit a proposal for the County Court SNAP, EOIs were first reviewed by TRCA watershed planning staff. This review considered the team’s skills and expertise; demonstrated experience; and unique approach. Staff from the Region of Peel and City of Brampton were then invited to review a short-list of eight (8) EOIs and to provide input to the review. As a result, four (4) teams were short-listed and invited to submit proposals.

905 Request for Proposal The Request for Proposal (RFP) for the County Court SNAP was sent to the following four (4) teams on August 28, 2009: z The Planning Partnership with Greenberg Consultants, Applied Ecological Services, SCS Consulting Group Ltd, Build Green Services, Poulos & Chung, ERA Architects, and Dr. Mitchell E. Kosny; z LURA and Planning Alliance with ARUP, ERA Architects, Aquafor Beech Ltd and Beacon Environmental; z du Toit Allsopp Hillier with TMIG Inc, Schollen & Company, Cobalt Engineering, Savanta Inc and Freeman Associates; and z ENVision – the Hough Group / Dillon Consulting with Sweeny, Sterling Finlayson & Co and N. Barry Lyon Consultants.

The RFP contained a detailed Terms of Reference for key tasks and deliverables in the development of the SNAP and identified an upset limit of $140,000 for consulting fees and expenses. Prospective bidders were required to include the following information: z understanding of local issues; z proposed workplan and schedule; z organizational chart; z time and fee allocation for project staff; and z statement of commitment to fulfill the requirements of the contract within budget and schedule.

Proposals were received on Monday, September 21, 2009 from all four invited teams. Proposals were reviewed in detail by a selection committee comprised of TRCA staff (Sonya Meek, Glenn MacMillan and Shannon Logan, Ecology Division); as well as staff from engineering, environmental planning, water conservation and education from the City of Brampton and Region of Peel.

Proposals were reviewed based on the following selection criteria: z an integrated/collaborative workplan in support of an action-oriented neighbourhood retrofit plan within a broad framework of sustainable neighbourhood objectives; z an innovative and effective community engagement plan integrating community-based social-marketing and collaboration with TRCA staff and partners; z comprehensive approach to integrating both technical design (i.e. stormwater management) and supportive behavioural changes into integrated retrofit scenarios; z a multi-objective evaluation and analysis, drawing upon qualitative and quantitative (modelling) tools; z the integration/use of creative visual illustration and mapping; z approach to working with consultants assigned by TRCA; and z cost.

The selection committee conducted interviews on October 5, 2009 with the top three consultant teams, including those lead by: du Toit Allsopp Hillier; ENVision – the Hough Group / Dillon Consulting; and LURA and Planning Alliance.

906 Based on the proposal review and interview process, on behalf of the selection committee, staff recommend that the contract be awarded to the consulting team lead by LURA and Planning Alliance for the development of Phases 1 and 2 of the County Court SNAP in Brampton, at a total cost not to exceed $133,280 plus GST.

This team best satisfied all criteria, specifically they: provided a clear depiction of deliverables; proposed use of an innovative multi-objective evaluation tool; and designed a strong community engagement program addressing both social-marketing and innovative consultation requirements. Furthermore, this team made strategic use of team resources within the given budget and submitted the lowest cost estimate. Finally, they provided a submission and interview which demonstrated much enthusiasm for this innovative project.

FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the consulting contract are available from the Region of Peel under TRCA’s 2008 and 2009 capital budgets (account 416-10). Staff will continue to pursue innovative partnerships and funding opportunities to secure resources and financial support for plan development and implementation.

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

Proposal: The proposal involves replacing an aged sanitary sewer that runs through Rennie Park and adjacent ravine lands. The City of Toronto completed the Environmental Assessment for replacing this sanitary sewer in March 2009. The existing 300mm diameter sanitary sewer will be replaced with a 375mm diameter sanitary sewer which will run within Rennie Park and backyard easements of adjacent residential properties. The City will be constructing permanent 2.0m and 4.0m wide maintenance access routes through Rennie Park to the southern limit of the park and at the beginning of the ravine lands to facilitate future sewer maintenance activities. A smaller maintenance access route would continue south via a 1.5m wide footpath in order to access the maintenance hole in the backyard of House No. 242 on Ellis Avenue. As part of the construction activities, approximately 32 trees and 20 shrubs will planted adjacent to the work area. All disturbed areas will be restored with native/non-invasive species upon completion of construction. Tree removals will occur outside of the bird breeding season.

Control of Flooding: The proposed work will have no impacts to the control of flooding.

Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented prior to construction and maintained for the duration of construction, and until the site is stabilized and restored, in order to prevent the generated sediments from draining into nearby municipal drains. Erosion and sediment control measures will be installed in accordance with the TRCA Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: There are no geotechnical/slope stability issues associated with the proposal.

Conservation of Land: A Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada Letter of Advice is not required for this project as the proposed works are located away from surface water features and there is no potential for a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat to occur during construction.

917 Plantings Trees and shrubs removed during construction will be replanted at a ratio of 3:1. As part of the construction activities, approximately 32 trees and 20 shrubs will be planted adjacent to the work area.

Proposal: The purpose is to construct a new dwelling and small retaining wall within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. The subject property is the last remaining vacant lot within the Humberview Gardens (19T-83034) subdivision and the proposed development area is devoid of significant vegetation. A portion of the property is within the valley corridor and the sloped portion of the property is well vegetated. Through City of Vaughan's Zoning Amendment Z.54.83, lot specific setbacks were applied to various lots within the subdivision based upon slope stability analysis done as part of the Plan of Subdivision process. The subject property requires a minimum rear yard setback of 10 metres under the zoning by-law and the proposed dwelling has provided a 27.95 metre setback from the rear lot line.

Based upon a site visit conducted by TRCA staff August 18, 2009 it was noted that a small amount of fill material had been placed over top of bank. As part of this permit, the fill material placed over top of bank will be removed and the area will be restored to their previous natural condition.

The proposed dwelling will be setback approximately 6.5 metres from the existing top of bank and the well vegetated slope will not be disturbed with the exception of the restoration of an area where fill material had previously been placed. The proposed retaining wall is approximately 1 foot maximum in height, approximately 1.5 metres in length and located at the top of bank perpendicular to the slope. The wall is required to resolve grade differences between the neighbouring property and the native grade on the subject property. Based upon the site visit and a Slope Stability Evaluation, prepared by Construction Control Inc., dated September 11, 2009, TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed dwelling is adequately setback from the existing top of bank.

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. 936 Pollution: Sediment control fencing will be erected and maintained for the duration of construction.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed works are adequately setback from the top of bank and will not adversely impact or destabilize the slope.

Conservation of Land: As a watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. The proposed development is located within an already disturbed area devoid of significant vegetation and an area where fill had been placed over top of bank will be restored. The well vegetated slope on the property will not be disturbed with the exception of the small area which will be restored. There are no significant natural features on or adjacent to the site that may be negatively impacted by the project.

Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored to a sodded condition and will not affect any significant natural feature.

The purpose is to construct a multi-use paved trail, trailhead parking, emergency access route and restore the site with native plantings.

The permit will be issued for the period of October 9, 2009 to October 8, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: z Drawing No. L1, Landscape Plan, prepared by Cosburn Associates Limited, Revision 6, revised on September 21, 2009, received by TRCA on September 22, 2009; z Drawing No. LD4, Details, prepared by Cosburn Associates Limited, Revision 6, revised on September 21, 2009, received by TRCA on September 22, 2009; z Drawing No. LD5, Details, prepared by Cosburn Associates Limited, Revision 6, revised on September 21, 2009, received by TRCA on September 22, 2009; z Drawing No. EC1, Sediment and Erosion Control Plan, prepared by ICM Engineering Ltd., Revision 2, revised on May 22, 2009, received by TRCA on September 22, 2009.

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

Proposal: The proposal follows Executive Committee approval of Permit C-08819 on October 3, 2008 for site grading and construction of a storm outfall and pond to facilitate the construction of a townhouse development on property located west of Riverside Drive, south of Rossland Road in the Town of Ajax. The proposal subject to this application is to construct a paved multi-use trail, trailhead parking and emergency access route, and site restoration of the outfall, pond and disturbed areas associated with the townhouse development. The proposed trail is part of a wider Duffins trail system included in the Town of Ajax Trails Master Plan. This portion of the trail will connect to an existing trail to the south and will be located across lands currently owned by TRCA, the Town of Ajax and Marshall Homes. The lands owned by Marshall Homes will be conveyed to the TRCA as part of the development approvals for the townhouse development and the portion of the trail on TRCA lands will be subject to a management agreement with the Town of Ajax (see related Greenlands Acquisition Project CFN 42986 on this Executive Committee agenda).

942 The Town of Ajax staff has noted their intent to extend this trail north towards Rossland Road and eventually connect up with a planned trail route on lands known as the Ajax Planning Area A9. The Town has requested that the proposed trail route subject to this permit dead end at a location in the Urfe Creek Valley behind proposed Block 10, Lot 49 of the Marshall Homes development. This would allow for the trail extension to continue at a later date either through the Urfe Creek valley or in the buffer between the top of bank of the valley and the Marshall Homes development. While there are no technical concerns with the location of the portion of the dead-end trail subject to this permit application, TRCA staff are aware that the Town of Ajax wishes to pursue the extension of this trail at a later date through the environmentally significant Urfe Creek valley. TRCA staff has inventoried the general area of the proposed trail extension and have significant concerns with, and do not support, the proposal for the extension through the forested valley slopes, floodplain and meander of the watercourse within the environmentally significant valley. Staff has recommended an alternative that would route the trail through the tableland buffer adjacent to the Marshall Homes site and that said route should be constructed at this time to avoid community opposition after the townhouses are occupied. The Town of Ajax recognizes this concern in writing and is aware that dead-ending the trail in the valley does not grant TRCA approvals for an extension through the valley. However, the Town has noted it's intent to pursue TRCA approvals for this future extension through the valley and recognizes that a full Environmental Impact Statement, management agreement and TRCA permit for this extension on TRCA land are required.

Conditional Permit: The issuance of the permit is conditional upon: 1) TRCA Authority Board approval of the acquisition of the Marshall Homes lands, including the management agreement with the Town of Ajax; and 2) a satisfactory archaeological investigation for that portion of the trail route located on land currently owned or to be acquired by TRCA.

Control of Flooding: Portions of the proposed trail will be located in the Regional Storm Floodplain. However, as grades are not changing, there will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters.

Pollution: Temporary sediment control has been provided per the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area Conservation Authorities, Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction. These controls include the temporary pond, energy dissipation unit, sediment control fencing, a phasing plan, and a mud mat.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: Temporary erosion control has been provided per the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area Conservation Authorities, Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction. There are no geotechnical issues with the proposal.

Conservation of Land: The proposed trail has been sited to avoid significant vegetation. The proposed trailhead parking and emergency access route are located in the municipal right-of-way currently developed with a paved street. 943 Plantings Native tree, shrub and seed mix plantings will be provided in all areas to be disturbed as well as within the area of the pond and outfall.

Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.2.2., Development and Redevelopment/Intensification Within Non-Established Communities/Highly Urbanized Areas, and Section 4.3., Infrastructure and Servicing, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Moved by: Richard Whitehead Seconded by: Anthony Perruzza

THAT permits be granted in accordance with Ontario Regulation 166/06 for the applications (EX10.28 - EX10.52, with the exception of EX10.35 and EX10.43, which were withdrawn), that had been listed on the agenda as errata applications, for which all the required information was received and finalized as listed below. CARRIED 948 CARRIED CITY OF BRAMPTON

10.28 CITY OF BRAMPTON To site grade, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere, interfere with a wetland and alter a watercourse in Chinguacousy Park (Queen Street and Bramalea Road), in the City of Brampton, Etobicoke Creek Watershed, as located on property owned by the City of Brampton.

The purpose is to restore water quality, decrease shoreline erosion and increase recreational value of the two on-line man-made ponds in Chinguacousy Park. Work will take place during the warmwater fisheries timing window and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).

The permit will be issued for the period of October 9, 2009 to October 8, 2011. z Letter of Undertaking to provide revisions to the engineering and landscape plans to the satisfaction of TRCA; dated October 7, 2009; received October 7, 2009; prepared by the City of Brampton.

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

Proposal: The proposed work at the two on-line ponds will involve naturalization of the shoreline (aquatic plantings, emergent vegetation, shoreline plantings, vegetated islands) around most of the two ponds. As the banks around the pond edges are currently in a state of severe decline, these plantings will help with the water quality of the ponds and will also help to deter waterfowl from accessing the ponds directly from the banks. Public viewing nodes will be created at points around the ponds and provision will be made for improved recreational opportunities including the future construction of a floating boat launch for the pedal boats in the north pond. An existing island located in the south pond will be restored to create a turtle nesting habitat.

A section of the south end of the north pond, and the north end of the south pond, will be further examined as part of a separate permit application due to the existing conditions at these locations, and the need to further investigate flows through this stretch of the watercourse. It is expected that this additional work will be completed once the City of Brampton commences future watercourse investigations at both the upstream and downstream ends of these ponds to further enhance water quality within the ponds and watercourse.

The project was reviewed through the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process. TRCA staff has entered into a partnership agreement with the City of Brampton and is responsible for the design and implementation of these works.

Control of Flooding: There will be no impacts to the control of flooding.

949 Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment control measures (silt fence, silt curtain) will be implemented for the duration of construction, and until the site is restored, in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse. In addition, the water level in the ponds will be lowered, as is regularly done during the winter season through the City of Brampton parks maintenance group, which will help isolate the work area.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: The proposed work will mitigate erosive impacts to the watercourse bed and banks. Slope stability issues will be improved as a result of these works.

Conservation of Land: With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a Harmful, Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). In or near water works must be completed during the warmwater fisheries timing window (July 1 to March 31) and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).

Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with native non-invasive species following construction. A net ecological gain will be achieved through the naturalization and restoration of the shoreline around both the north and south ponds.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 5.2 - Erosion Control and Slope Stability Remedial Works - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The permit will be issued for the period of October 9, 2009 to October 8, 2011. z Letter of undertaking to provide revisions to engineering drawings to the satisfaction of TRCA staff and to provide landowner authorization for works within the regulated areas; dated October 6, 2009; received October 7, 2009; prepared by the Regional Municipality of York.

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

Proposal: In preparation for the construction of the Southeast Collector sanitary trunk sewer, the Regional Municipality of York has identified Rosebank Road as a temporary haul route that will be used to facilitate construction activities. Following the assessment of the proposed haul route, it was determined that the Rosebank Road North bridge, which crosses a tributary of Petticoat Creek, requires structural and safety repairs so that the roadway can meet its intended use during construction. It is noted that although the preferred alignment of the Southeast Collector sanitary trunk sewer has yet to receive approval from the Ministry of the Environment, the proposed bridge repair work at Rosebank is required to proceed in advance of the sewer because of the identified structural and safety concerns. As such, the bridge repairs are considered a Schedule A project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process and are pre-approved under the EA process.

Specific to this proposal is the repair of the south bridge abutment, reconstruction of approximately one meter of bridge deck, replacement of the west curb, repairs to the east curb and the installation of guiderails along the structure and the approaches. To protect the watercourse, a temporary platform and netting will be installed. To access the south abutment, a temporary coffer dam is to be placed in order to isolate the work area.

Control of Flooding: The proposed works do not impact flooding under the Regional storm event.

Pollution: Standard erosion control measures (silt fence, coffer dam) will be implemented to ensure that the construction-generated sediments do not enter the watercourse.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: There will be no slope stability issues related to the works.

957 Conservation of Land: With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, and the works conducted during the warmwater (July 1 to March 31) timing window, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The proposed works will impact no significant terrestrial resource features. Although the proposed works are located within the Provincial Greenbelt, they do not implicate any permanent or intermittent streams.

Plantings Any disturbed areas are to be restored using a native seed mix and erosion control blanket.

Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. The proposal complies with section 4.2.1, General Infrastructure Policies, of the Ontario Greenbelt Plan.

TOWN OF MARKHAM

10.46 DILAWRI GROUP OF COMPANIES To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure on Part Lot 30, 31, Plan 65R-25652, Part Lot 7, 8, 10, Plan 65R-7974, Part Lot 1, Plan 2196, (7, 13, 21 Main Street), in the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Dilawri Group of Companies.

The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Rouge River Watershed, in order to facilitate the construction of a retaining wall structure and associated parking lot associated with a municipal site plan application.

The permit will be issued for the period of October 9, 2009 to October 8, 2011. z Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Dilawri Group of Companies, dated October 7, 2009, to address all outstanding TRCA concerns.

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

973 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 parking lot that includes grading works and a retaining wall associated with an existing car dealership. The proposed works are intended to implement the overall development plans envisioned and approved for this site. Specifically, the proposed parking lot is based on a previous permit from 2004 that also allowed for the realignment of the channel traversing the property, retaining walls on the opposite side of the valley and the realignment of the Regional Storm Floodplain. The initial permit included an updated hydraulic analysis, which took into account the proposed works associated with this application. The initial permit C-04149 was approved by the TRCA Executive Committee at the June 2, 2004 Executive Committee meeting.

As a component of this application, the TRCA requires that the proponent provide enhancements and mitigation where opportunities exist to mitigate for the encroachment. Based on our review, there are several opportunities to provide enhancement plantings within the valley next to the proposed works and north of the site along an east-west channel. Additional plantings will be provided for offsite within the Rouge River Watershed. Based on the 2004 approval, the proponent has relocated the retaining wall further inland from the channel to reduce encroachment into the valley corridor. As well, the proponent has removed the proposed bridge crossing and has incorporated a porous surface for the entire parking lot. The parking lot is proposed to be a porous surface that will allow for infiltration within the ground and therefore will be naturally filtered before entering into the natural system achieving water quality and quantity control acceptable by the TRCA. Also, stormwater will not flow directly into the adjacent tributary as it will infiltrate into the ground. A planting plan has been submitted with this project that proposes to enhance the corridor on-site and off-site. All works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain.

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

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

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns related to this application as the proposed retaining wall is acceptable to the TRCA.

Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this project.

Plantings Although no significant vegetation will be removed as a result of the proposed works, the applicant has proposed significant plantings in accordance with TRCA Guidelines. 974 Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.1 - New Development - 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 purpose is to perform grading works to facilitate the construction of a single detached dwelling and septic system within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. The subject property is almost entirely within a Wetland Area of Interference and contains a mild slope. As part of the associated severance applications (file nos. 09-B-05, 10-B-05, 11-B-05) and rezoning application (file no. Z-2004-03) the limits of the wetland feature were staked by TRCA staff and a 10 metre buffer was applied. Accordingly, the subject property was created as a result of these previous planning approvals and also included the feature and buffer being zoned to an Open Space category to ensure its long-term protection.

The subject property contains a drainage feature which is to be realigned to a more appropriate location.

As part of the proposal, significant regrading is required in order to provide safe, level, access to Weston Road as required by York Region. Grading throughout the site has been minimized to the extent possible and will not encroach into the buffer area or the defined limits of the feature.

10.52 VALLEY KING DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere on Lot 5, Concession 4, on the south side of King Road, west of Keele Street, in the Township of King, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Valley King Developments Limited.

The purpose is to conduct site grading in order to allow for the temporary stockpiling of fill material on the subject property, which will facilitate the eventual servicing and development of a residential subdivision on the subject lands.

The permit will be issued for the period of October 9, 2009 to October 8, 2011. z Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Valdor Engineering Inc., dated October 5, 2009, received October 6, 2009.

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

Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading in order allow for a temporary stockpiling of fill material on the subject lands, which will facilitate the eventual servicing and development of a residential subdivision on the subject lands. The subject property is located on the southwest corner of King Road and Keele Street, in the Township of King. At this time, the lands are vacant, but were previously graded as part of an approved draft plan of subdivision 15 years ago. This grading work was not fully completed. In addition, the previous draft approval for these lands has since lapsed (19T-81098).

TRCA staff are reviewing an associated Draft Plan of Subdivision application (19T-07K02) and Zoning Amendment application (Z-2007-03) for the subject lands. Previously, TRCA staff conducted site walks of the lands to identify and delineate the limits of the natural features on site including the top of bank and significant vegetation. There are two Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSW - King-Vaughan Wetland Complex) located on the site. Staff from the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) have walked the site as well and delineated the limits of the wetlands. Based on the initial submissions, a 30 metre buffer has been established from the natural features on the site, which is consistent with the King City Community Plan (KCCP) and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP).

The proposed works will allow for the temporary stockpiling of fill on the subject lands. The majority of this material will come from previously approved infrastructure works in the Township while the rest of the fill will come from grading works on other lands in King Township also owned by the applicant's parent company.

With respect to the natural features on the subject property, all grading works will take place exclusively outside of the 30 metre buffer from the natural features. TRCA technical staff has reviewed the submitted technical plans for the proposed grading and stockpile and is satisfied that the works will not negatively impact the adjacent natural features and drainage on the site. The applicant will use this material and grade the southern portion of the subdivision lands, which represents the first phase of this permit. In addition, a double layer of silt fencing will be established around the work site and maintained on a regular basis.

The second phase of this permit is to allow for the use of the stockpiled fill to facilitate the servicing and development of a residential subdivision. This phase will only be approved once additional technical details have been submitted and reviewed by TRCA staff. Additionally, this work will only be permitted once draft plan approval has been granted.

Control of Flooding: The proposed grading works and development are located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Humber River. As such, the storage and conveyance of flood waters will not be negatively impacted.

Pollution: Double silt fencing will be established around the fill stockpile. Furthermore, erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented around areas where grading is proposed, in order to prevent the transport of sediment into the adjacent wetlands and watercourses. 983 A contingency plan has also been provided on the plans which stipulates the maintenance of these erosion control measures and the seeding of the fill stockpile should additional time be required before final grading of the site is completed.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: Erosion on the site will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned erosion and sediment control measures.

Conservation of Land: There are no geotechnical/slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Furthermore, the works will not impact fish habitat in the nearby watercourses.

Plantings Plantings of native, non-invasive species will take place as part of the overall development of the subdivision and as part of the edge management restoration (EMP) plan for the site. This EMP will be submitted by the applicant prior to registration of the subdivision.

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

990 The purpose is to install a NPS 4 ST YJ HP gas pipeline in the grassy area north of Mimico Creek to tie into the existing NPS 4 ST HP gas pipeline just north of Mimico Creek. Enbridge is proposing to install this pipeline using the open cut method of construction. The work is located on the east side of Carlingview Drive, just south of Disco Road. A Letter of Advice regarding mitigation of negative impacts will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO).

The permit will be issued for the period of October 9, 2009 to October 8, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: z Enbridge Drawing Page 1 or 2; Project # 1.319784; Work Request # 319784; Abandoned WR # 332966; Prepared by Enbridge, Dated January 12, 2009 received by TRCA on October 1, 2009; z Enbridge Drawing Page 2 or 2; Project # 1.319784; Work Request # 319784; Abandoned WR # 332966; Prepared by Enbridge, Dated January 12, 2009 received by TRCA on October 1, 2009; z Letter from Enbridge (Chuck Reaney) dated December 12, 2008 to TRCA (Renee Afoom) received at TRCA by email on December 12, 2008; z Letter from Enbridge (Andrea Singh) dated March 25, 2009 to TRCA (Renee Afoom) received by TRCA by email on October 5, 2009.

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

Proposal: Enbridge is proposing to install a NPS 4 ST YJ HP gas pipeline in the grassy area north of Mimico Creek. This new pipeline will tie into the existing NPS 4 ST HP gas pipeline located just north of Mimico Creek. Currently, the existing pipeline is exposed due to slope wash and erosion activities. Enbridge is therefore relocating the section of the pipe that is exposed away from the edge of the creek and the area prone to erosion. The work site is located on the east side of Carlingview Drive, just south of Disco Road. Construction will be undertaken by open cut method. The new pipe will be located approximately 2 m below the ground surface. The proposed work will require the removal of approximately 15 trees/shrubs. Enbridge is working with Ontario Realty Corporation to plant approximately 50 trees/shrubs on their adjacent property once construction is completed. Enbridge and Ontario Realty Corporation (Her Majesty the Queen (HMQ)) have entered into a binding Easement Conveyance Agreement for the lands owned by HMQ; property rights will be transferred to Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. by Ontario Realty Corporation on behalf of HMQ to allow for the construction of this pipeline.

Control of Flooding: There will be no impacts to the control of flooding. All grades within the Regional Storm Floodplain will be maintained.

Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented prior to construction and maintained for the duration of construction, and until the site is stabilized and restored, in order to prevent the generated sediments from draining into Mimico Creek. Erosion and sediment control measures have been provided in accordance with the TRCA Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction. 991 Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: There are no geotechnical/slope stability issues associated with the proposal.

Conservation of Land: With erosion and sediment control measures in place, the potential for Harmful, Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated. A Letter of Advice regarding mitigation of negative impacts will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO).

Plantings All disturbed areas will be restored with native/non-invasive species following construction. The proposed work will require the removal of approximately 15 trees/shrubs. Enbridge is working with Ontario Realty Corporation to plant approximately 50 trees/shrubs on their adjacent property once construction is completed.

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

EX10.78 RULAND PROPERTIES INC. To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere on Part Lot 8, Concession 5, (east of Warden Avenue and north of Enterprise Boulevard), in the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Ruland Properties Inc.

The purpose is to construct and develop within a Regulated Area, partially within the Regulatory floodplain, to facilitate the reconstruction of portions of an existing stormwater management pond.

The permit will be issued for the period of October 9, 2009 to October 8, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: 998 z Letter of undertaking provided by Andrew Ip, Masongsong Associates Engineering Limited, dated October 7, 2009, to address all outstanding TRCA comments prior to the issuance of the permit.

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

Proposal: This application is to permit the re-construction of, and repairs to, an existing stormwater management pond located within Phase One of the Markham Centre lands, located east of Warden Avenue, north of Highway 407, in the Town of Markham. The existing pond (Pond A1) was constructed under TRCA permit C-07600, approved by the TRCA Executive Committee on November 3, 2006. The pond was constructed as designed, and incorporated a large infiltration gallery, which was part of the innovative stormwater management strategy outlined in the Markham Centre Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP). Through the construction process, or shortly thereafter, portions of the infiltration galley collapsed. The cause of the collapse was examined by the consulting engineers for the proponents, and a report was produced identifying options for rectifying the situation. The consultants concluded that the collapsed portions of the infiltration gallery should be removed and not replaced, due to site specific constraints and the costs of engineering an effective solution. In place of this, the consultants have proposed a more traditional expansion and retrofit of the existing pond. Town of Markham staff have provided correspondence to the TRCA identifying their concurrence with this approach.

As this pond plays a key role in the overall stormwater management system and the development phasing for Markham Centre, the developer has identified that it is critical that the pond retrofit works be completed this year, such that other infrastructure and construction works within Markham Centre, which rely upon this pond being fully operational, are not delayed as a result. With consideration for the urgent nature of this project, TRCA staff have brought forward this permit application based upon a letter of undertaking provided by the proponent to address all outstanding TRCA requirements prior to the issuance of the permit.

Based upon the current proposal, the portion of the infiltration gallery which is presently functioning will remain in operation. It would be the preference of TRCA staff to replace the collapsed portions of the infiltration gallery with a similar measure which would provide for the enhanced function that was originally proposed. However, as a result of the logistical issues raised by the engineers for the proponents in achieving this, and given the acceptance of Town staff of the proponent’s retrofit proposal, TRCA staff are prepared to support Town staff’s recommendation. TRCA staff have requested that the proponent explore opportunities to provide for additional innovative stormwater management measures (over and above what would otherwise be implemented) in future phases of the Markham Centre development, which the proponent has committed to implement.

Control of Flooding: The proposed stormwater management works will partially occur within the Regional Storm Floodplain. However, no permanent modifications to the storage and conveyance of stream and storm flows are anticipated as a result of this project. 999 Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures are identified on the associated drawings to reduce the impact on surrounding features. No in-water works are proposed with this application.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

Erosion: No anticipated geotechnical concerns exist with respect to this application.

Conservation of Land: The works proposed under this application will be located within the existing stormwater management block. Minor vegetation removal may be required as a component of this project, however this will be minimized to the greatest possible extent, and a comprehensive restoration plan will be implemented for any such areas. Areas in which vegetation is disturbed in the construction process will be re-vegetated and restored immediately following construction.

Plantings Plantings are being provided in disturbed areas, and adjacent to the proposed stormwater management pond in accordance with TRCA’s planting guidelines.

Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section - 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The permit will be issued for the period of October 9, 2009 to October 8, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

1000 z Letter of Undertaking, prepared by M. Baldassera, David Schaeffer Engineering Ltd., dated October 7, 2009, to address outstanding engineering matters.

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 grading and servicing of two (2) residential blocks associated with a draft approved plan of subdivision (City File No. D03-95121/19T-95121), commonly referred to as the Hughey/Tranquility lands, and the construction of two (2) model homes.

The first block involves the construction of seven (7) residential blocks on the west side of Coon’s Road, north of Blyth Street, in the Town of Richmond Hill. The second block includes ten (10) residential lots, a roadway (referred to as Street E), cul-de-sac, and a vista block, located west of Coon’s Road, south of Humberland Drive.

The subject lands are located adjacent to a valley corridor of the Humber River Watershed. Through the related draft plan of subdivision, buffers consistent with TRCA’s guidelines have been incorporated. As such, the proposed development is sufficiently setback from the valley corridor. The proposed works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. Through the subdivision review, an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) was completed for the subject lands. TRCA staff has reviewed and approved the supporting EIS, which concludes that the proposed development will not have any adverse ecological impacts. As a component of EIS recommendations and conditions of draft approval for the draft approved plan of subdivision, the applicant is required to submit an extensive enhancement planting plan for the adjacent valley lands. These plans must identify that a significant net environmental gain has been achieved with respect to terrestrial habitat and cover through the restoration and enhancement of these areas.

Control of Flooding: The area to which this application applies is located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As a result, no impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters will be impacted.

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

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns related to this project.

1001 Conservation of Land: Based on the EIS completed for the subject lands, no significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. However, an extensive enhancement planting plan will be completed and approved by TRCA staff prior to the registration of the subdivision. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this application.

Plantings All future plantings within the adjacent valley lands will be native and non-invasive consistent with TRCA's planting guidelines.

Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).
