1.0 Introduction

1.1 Background

Under natural conditions, all lands along watercourses and shorelines are subject to periodic flooding. Bank/bluff instability and erosion (collectively referred to as "erosion" problems in this document) along watercourses and shorelines also occur due to natural causes. Land use practices have tended to aggravate both flood and erosion problems. These practices include deforestation, agricultural land clearing, urbanization, and the filling and draining of wetlands. These activities have acted to significantly alter the natural hydrological regime of watercourses. Increase in total volume of surface runoff, in combination with increased flow velocities and flood frequency, also increase river valley erosion.

As part of the mandate of Conservation Authorities under the Conservation Authorities Act, Conservation Authorities have prime responsibility for water management, including that relating to water quantity and related hazards. As a part of these programs, Conservation Authorities may propose remedial work in order to prevent safety risks to human life and property from flooding and erosion. Given the reality of historical development in close proximity to watercourses or shorelines, preventative aspects of the Conservation Authorities’ flood and erosion control programs (such as Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses regulations, planning controls, reforestation, or land acquisition) may not be adequate or viable to provide for public safety. Therefore, where existing development is at risk, some form of remedial project may be necessary.

1.2 Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Process

The Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) process provides a consistent, streamlined, easily understood process for planning and implementing flood and erosion control projects. The process that is implemented through approval of the Class EA ensures that the intent of the Environmental Assessment Act is met by providing for the identification of issues and concerns, and the preferred means of addressing them, with due regard to environmental management, protection, and mitigation measures. The process also provides the flexibility to be tailored to the activity, taking into account the environmental setting, public interest, and unique situation requirements. Projects to address flood and erosion problems have:

1) common processes in terms of planning, design, approval, construction, operation and monitoring; and 2) generally predictable range of effects.

Considering the above, the Class EA approach is considered a suitable means for planning of remedial flood and erosion control projects.

1

1.3 Definition of Undertakings for Class for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control

Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects refer to those projects undertaken by Conservation Authorities in previously developed areas, which are required to protect human life and property from impending flood or erosion problems. Such projects do not include works which facilitate or anticipate development.

Projects under this Class EA are grouped under four problem situations. These problem situations are: 1) riverine flooding; 2) riverine and valley slope erosion; 3) shoreline flooding; and 4) shoreline erosion.

Major flood and erosion control undertakings which do not suit this definition, such as multipurpose projects, lie outside the limits of this Class and require an Individual Environmental Assessment.

1.4 Objective of Annual Report

This Annual Report addresses those projects initiated, planned, and/or implemented under the 2002 Class EA (amended 2013) as of December 2019.

This Annual Report fulfills the requirements to monitor the effectiveness of the Class EA process to ensure sound environmental planning and to ensure that the Class EA remains current and relevant. The Annual Report assesses the effectiveness of the Class EA planning and design process in addressing such things as, but not limited to, the protection of the environment and participation in the process. This assessment includes a determination of:

. number and types of projects initiated, planned and/or implemented in accordance with the Class EA;

. number of Part II Orders requested and their outcomes;

. problems experienced at the Class EA project level in implementing the process; and

. degree of effectiveness of the Class EA planning and design process.

1.5 Methodology of Information Collection

Information on those projects initiated, planned and/or implemented in accordance to the Class EA as of December 2019 was compiled by Conservation Ontario for each of the 36 Conservation Authorities in Ontario. Information was collected through an Annual

2

Effectiveness Monitoring Report Survey (Appendix A), which is implemented on an annual basis. The key components of this survey address: 1) project details (e.g. year project initiated, status of project, notice stage, document level, and Part II Order requests and outcomes); and 2) problems, changes or actions that need to be addressed with respect to the effectiveness of the Class EA planning and design process.

Problems, changes or actions needed with respect to the Class EA process are based on issues identified by proponent Conservation Authorities directly to Conservation Ontario through the “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Form” (see example in Appendix C), and/or through a Community Liaison Committee Report (see example in Appendix D), both of which are part of the reporting process within the Class EA process. While information on effectiveness is generated from the sources listed above, it is also to be summarized in the Annual Effectiveness Monitoring Report Survey for the purposes of this report.

1.6 Structure of Report

This Annual Report is divided into three remaining sections:

Section 2 focuses on projects undertaken within the Class EA. This section first provides a summary of the number and types of projects initiated, planned or implemented under the Class EA. The second part of Section 2 addresses the effectiveness of the Class EA planning and design process, based on implementation concerns or improvements raised by proponent Conservation Authorities.

Section 3 of this Report addresses those projects for which Part II Orders were requested. The first part of this section summarizes the number and percentage of Part II Orders requested and the outcome of these requests. The second part of Section 3 addresses the effectiveness of the Class EA planning and design process with respect to Part II Order requests, based on concerns or improvements raised by proponent Conservation Authorities.

Section 4 of this Report provides a compliance statement for the Class EA. This section addresses any terms and conditions in the Environmental Assessment Act Notice of Approval for the Class EA (Appendix B), “Notices of Amendments” issued by the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, and compliance statements made by proponent Conservation Authorities through the “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Form” (see example in Appendix C).

2.0 Summary of Class Environmental Assessments

2.1 Summary of Class Undertakings as of December 2019

Information with regard to those projects that have been initiated, planned and/or implemented in accordance to the Class Environmental Assessment for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects (Class EA) was compiled through a survey of proponent Conservation Authorities (Appendix A).

A total of 45 Class EA projects were reported in 2019. 43 of these projects were reported as having been initiated, planned, or implemented in 2019 (with two projects reported as inactive). A summary of all reported projects is provided in Table 1 and an overall listing of survey results for all 36 Conservation Authorities is provided in Appendix A.

Seven new Class EA projects were initiated in 2019, none of which are projects being undertaken as addendums. In 2019, one project was cancelled and two projects were completed. Two projects of the total 45 projects were reported to be inactive.

The project types are identified below; where relevant, explanatory notes regarding the status of the project have been included. It should be noted that those projects reported as having issued a “Notice of Completion”1 in Conservation Ontario’s previous Annual Reports (for 2018 projects) or Five Year Review Report are considered complete and have been removed from the list of reported projects2.

The 45 reported Class EA projects fall into the following project types: 3 . Riverine Flooding: 12 4 . Riverine Erosion: 16 5 . oth Riverine Flooding and Riverine Erosion: 9 6 . Shoreline Erosion: 8

. Shoreline Flooding: 0

Project Plans are prepared for remedial work for which it has been demonstrated that there are no negative impacts or outstanding concerns held by the Conservation Authority or reviewers. Environmental Study Reports are prepared for projects for which it has been demonstrated that negative impacts will occur, and trade-offs must be made in choosing among alternative methods of carrying out the proposed remedial work. Of the 40 Class EA

1 A “Notice of Project Completion” is to be sent when the project has been constructed (as described in Appendix E of the Class EA document). 2 With the exception of the TRCA’s Fishleigh Drive Erosion Control Project (Addendum), as the proponent conservation authority evaluation forms were received in early 2019 (see Appendix A) 3 None of these projects were reported to be inactive. 4 None of these projects were reported to be inactive. 5 Two of these projects were reported to be inactive 6 None of these projects were reported to be inactive

4

projects reported as active, and the two reported as completed in 2019, 26 were developing Project Plans, 7 were preparing Environmental Study Reports, 4 were Addendums and 5 were Emergency Reports.

2.2 Effectiveness of the Class Environmental Assessment Planning and Design Process

Conservation Ontario evaluates the effectiveness of the planning and design process of the Class Environmental Assessment for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects (Class EA) based on problems, concerns and/or issues raised by proponent Conservation Authorities. Problems, concerns and/or issues may be expressed: 1) directly to Conservation Ontario; 2) through a “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Form” (see example in Appendix C); and/or 3) through a “Community Liaison Committee Report” (see example in Appendix D).

The “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Form” is a new component under the approved 2002 Class EA (amended 2013) document. The Evaluation Form provides a summary of the proponent Conservation Authority’s satisfaction with the various stages of the Class EA planning and design process. In accordance with Section 3.7.2 and 3.9.2 of the Class EA document, the Evaluation Form is to be completed and submitted to Conservation Ontario twice during the Class EA process. Part A of the “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Form” is to be submitted within 30 days of the project’s “Notice of Approval.”13 Part B of the “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Form” is to be submitted within 30 days of the project’s “Notice of Completion”.14

In an effort to facilitate more on-going public involvement, Conservation Authorities may establish a Community Liaison Committee to assist in the gathering of additional public input, to review information, and to provide input to the Conservation Authority throughout the Class EA process. A Community Liaison Committee Report provides a summary of the public’s satisfaction with the various stages of the Class EA planning and design process. It should be noted that the formation of such a committee is an option to the Conservation Authority and is not a requirement under the Class EA document. A “Community Liaison Committee Report” may be submitted following Notice of Project Completion.

Both the “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Form” and “Community Liaison Committee Report” provide an opportunity to rate the various stages of the Class EA process based on a satisfaction level of 1 to 5 (1 being least satisfied and 5 being most satisfied).

Two “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Forms” found in Appendix E of the Class EA approval document were required to be received by Conservation Ontario in 2019. Table 2 is a summary of this information. Conservation Ontario’s previous Annual Reports and the Five Year Review reports outline the results of previous proponent evaluations received.

13 A “Notice of Project Approval” is to be sent when the planning and design process has been completed and the project is ready for construction (as described in Appendix E of the Class EA document). 14 A “Notice of Project Completion” is to be sent when the project has been constructed (as described in Appendix E of the Class EA document). 19

No “Community Liaison Committee Reports” found in Appendix H of the Class EA approval document were completed in 2019. Table 3 provides an example of how a summary of this information may be presented in future Annual Reports.

Additional written statements clarifying and explaining those stages of the Class EA process that received an unsatisfactory rating (i.e. 2 or less) on the “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Form” and/or the “Community Liaison Committee Report” must also be provided. No additional written statements were provided to Conservation Ontario with respect to unsatisfactory ratings for projects completed in 2019, as no ratings of 2 or less were received. Additional comments received outlined support for the current streamlining process for the Class EA for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control being undertaken by Conservation Ontario and the MECP (see Appendix E).

3.0 Part II Order Requests

3.1 Introduction

The Class Environment Assessment (Class EA) planning and design process is one which allows for concerns to be identified and resolved through the course of the planning of a project. In some circumstances, however, it is possible that issues may be raised during public review of a project that cannot be easily accommodated. In cases where concerns are raised, it is the proponent Conservation Authority's obligation to use all reasonable means available to them to resolve these concerns. In circumstances where individuals, groups, or public agencies feel that these efforts have not been made, they may seek to have the proposed undertaking made subject to a more rigorous planning, design and documentation procedure. Any individual, group or public agency may request the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks to issue a Part II Order within the public review period for a Project Plan, Environmental Study Report or an Addendum. The Part II Order is the legal mechanism whereby the status of a Class EA undertaking can be elevated to an Individual Environmental Assessment.

3.2 Summary of Part II Order Requests as of December 2019

Those projects under the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for which Part II Orders were requested are to be identified through the Annual Effectiveness Monitoring Report Survey of Proponent Conservation Authorities (Appendix A). Information obtained should include:

. why a Part II Order was requested;

. outcome of a Part II Order request;

. summary of conditions imposed on the project by the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (if the project was denied); and

. problems, changes, or actions to be considered as to the effectiveness of the Class EA, with respect to Part II Orders requests, in providing an effective and efficient planning process15.

Of the 45 reported Class EA projects, three projects were the subject of a Part II Order request. The first project was the Credit Valley Conservation Authority’s Dam and Headpond project in the Belfountain Conservation Area. The second was the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s Lower Don River West Remedial Flood Protection Project.The third was Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s Fishleigh Drive Erosion Control Project (Addendum). Further details on the project are outlined in Table 4.

15 An evaluation of problems, changes, or actions to be considered as to the effectiveness of the Class EA planning process, with respect to Part II Order requests, is undertaken within the “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Form” (see example in Appendix C). 23

16 Current projects that were initiated under the 1993 Class EA process are being reported for tracking purposes. If construction of a project has not been initiated within five years of the approval of the 2002 Class EA, then the project must be reinitiated in accordance to the 2002 Class EA planning and design process. 17 Terminology and public notification requirements differ for the 1993 Class EA process. Status of 1993 projects are reported in the “Status of Project” column with explanatory notes.

3.3 Effectiveness of the Class Environmental Assessment Planning and Design Process with Respect to Part II Order Requests.

The effectiveness of the Class Environmental Assessment for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects (Class EA) planning and design process, with respect to Part II Order requests, is to be evaluated based on problems, concerns and/or issues raised by proponent Conservation Authorities. Problems, concerns and/or issues may be expressed directly to Conservation Ontario and/or through the “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Form” (see example in Appendix C).

Two “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Forms” (see example in Appendix C) were completed in 2019 and no issues related to Part II Order Requests were identified through these forms. Additionally, there were also no concerns and/or issues submitted directly to Conservation Ontario during 2019 with respect to Part II Order Requests.

4.0 Compliance Statement

As required under Section 10.0 of the Class Environmental Assessment for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects (Class EA) document, the following section provides a compliance statement for the Class EA. First, this section addresses terms and conditions in the Environmental Assessment Act “Notice of Approval” for the Class EA. Second, this section addresses any “Notices of Amendment” issued by the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks and, finally, it provides a summary of statements of compliance made by the Conservation Authorities in the “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Form” (see example in Appendix C).

4.1 Terms and Conditions under the “Notice of Approval of the Class EA”

A copy of the “Notice of Approval”, issued by the Minister of the Environment on June 26, 2002, can be found in Appendix B. Table 5 lists the key terms and conditions stipulated in the “Notice of Approval” and provides a summary of how they have been fulfilled.

Ministry of Environment and Climate Change’s Review of the Conservation Ontario’s Five Year Review Report

As per Clause 7, the Class EA Five Year Review Report was submitted to the Director of the Environmental Approvals Branch of the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) for review on January 31, 2017. MOECC’s review of the Five Year Review Report was received by Conservation Ontario on June 22, 2017. A copy of this correspondence is available in Appendix E.

In response to MOECC’s review, Conservation Ontario is currently updating the document as requested.

26

4.2 Notice of Amendments Issued by the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change

On June 10, 2013 MOECC issued correspondence to Conservation Ontario confirming that the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change had approved the amendments proposed to Conservation Ontario’s Class EA approval document. The Minister cited his reasons for approving the amendments as being that they:  Are administrative in nature;  Update the Class EA to reflect information about the current proponent and the agencies to which the Class EA applies;  Do not affect the application of the Class EA; and  Do not compromise environmental protection.

Conservation Ontario circulated the 2002 approval document updated to reflect the Minister’s 2013 approved amendments to Conservation Authorities and MOECC as required in June 2013.The updated document has also been posted on Conservation Ontario’s website and can be found at http://conservationontario.ca/conservation- authorities/planning-and-regulations/class-environmental-assessment/

Clause 8.2 Acknowledged A notice under clause 8.1 (b) may prescribe transitional procedures for any amendments proposed before a date specified in the notice.

4.3 Future Amendments Identified by Conservation Ontario

As per the Class EA approval, amendments may be made to the Class EA approval document during the Five Year Review process. Conservation Ontario is currently working with MECP to respond to their feedback to the Five Year Review (2012-2016). Conservation Ontario’s next Five Year Review must be submitted to MECP by January 31, 2021.

When Conservation Authorities are canvassed to confirm the information on file about their Class EA projects for the purpose of completing the Annual Effectiveness Monitoring Report they are asked to submit amendments they would like considered during the next five year review process.

28

In addition to the amendments submitted through the Five Year Review process, Conservation Ontario has been working with MECP’s Environmental Assessment and Permissions Branch to develop streamlining amendments to the Class EA as part of MECP’s modernization of Ontario’s environmental assessment program. These amendments are taking place outside of the normal Five Year Review process.

4.4 Statements of Compliance (Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Form)

In accordance with Section 3.7.2 and 3.9.2 of the Class EA document, the “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Form” is to be completed twice during the Class EA process: Part A is to be completed within 30 days of the filing of a Notice of Approval, and Part B must be completed within 30 days of a Notice of Completion. Copies of the completed “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Forms” are included in Appendix C. Two Class EA projects reached the Notice of Approval stage during 2019 and no projects reached the Notice of Completion stage. Consequently, two evaluation forms are summarized in Section 2 of this report.

4.5 Summary

Conservation Ontario has complied with the terms and conditions of the “Notice of Approval” for the Class EA.

In 2009 the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change approved amendments to the Class EA that were proposed during Conservation Ontario’s 2002-2006 Five Year Review Report; the Class EA approval document was then updated to reflect the approved amendments, which were all minor in nature, and circulated to Conservation Authorities, the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change’s Environmental Approvals Branch, and posted on Conservation Ontario’s website. Conservation Ontario submitted the next five year review report (2006-2011) to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change on January 31, 2012 and proposed amendments to the Class EA approval document were posted onto the Environmental Registry and EA Activities website on January 29, 2013. A few additional minor amendments were proposed and supported through this process and in June 2013 the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change approved all of these amendments to the Class EA. The updated 2013 Class EA approval document was then circulated to Conservation Authorities, the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change’s Environmental Approvals Branch, and posted on Conservation Ontario’s website.

Conservation Ontario has submitted its Five Year Review for 2012 to 2016. Conservation Ontario is currently working with MECP to respond to their feedback to the Five Year Review (2012-2016).

5.0 Conclusions

This report provides a summary of those Class EA projects initiated, planned, and/or implemented as of December 2019 and assesses the effectiveness of the Class Environmental Assessment for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects planning and design process using information reported through “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Forms”.

A survey of proponent Conservation Authorities indicated that, for the year 2019:

. A total of 43 Class EA projects were reported as having been initiated, planned, or implemented in 2019, with 45 projects reported in total (two inactive) (Table 1).

. Two Class EA projects reached the Notice of Approval stage during 2019 and no projects reached the Notice of Completion stage. Thus, two “Proponent Conservation Authority Evaluation Forms” were required to be completed by proponent Conservation Authorities (see Table 2); therefore requirements outlined in Section 3.7.2 and 3.9.2 of the Class EA document have been met.

In addition to the above, this Annual Report confirms that all terms and conditions, stipulated in the “Notice of Approval” for the Class EA (Appendix B) have been met.
