RE: 2015 PAN/PARAPAN AMERICAN GAMES AND THE CALEDON EQUESTRIAN PARK CFN 24276 ______KEY ISSUE Entering into a lease with the Town of Caledon and Equestrian Management Group (EMG) to extend the term of the existing lease with EMG to continue the use of the Caledon Equestrian Park in Palgrave by EMG for an equestrian facility and to use the facility for the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games.

AND FURTHER THAT the Town of Caledon, the Regional Municipality of Peel and the Pan American Games Bid Committee be so advised.
Town of Caledon Council at its meeting held on November 15, 2011, approved the following resolution:
23 That Report CAO-2011-007 regarding Lease of Caledon Equestrian Park & 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games Update, be received; and
That subject to the approval of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Board of Directors, that the Mayor and Clerk enter into a lease agreement for the lands known as the “Caledon Equestrian Park” with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and the Equestrian Management Group; and
That subject to Town of Caledon Council approval and the approval of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Board of Directors of the lease, that the Mayor and Clerk enter into a contribution agreement in accordance with Council resolution 107-2009 for the Town of Caledon’s portion of the 44% required capital contribution for the land known as the Caledon Equestrian Park, to be at an upset limit of $5,373,500 in partnership with its partners, Equestrian Management Group and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority; and

Existing Agreements TRCA entered into a management agreement of indefinite duration with the Town of Caledon (Town) for the subject lands in 1978. In 1981, TRCA permitted the lands to be licensed to Bolton Horse Shows Inc., for horse shows and related activities, subject to the provisions of the original management agreement with the Town. In 1989, the Town was advised that due to the decrease in the number of volunteers in recent years, Bolton Horse Shows Inc. were no longer able to operate the shows and assigned the operation to the Equestrian Management Group Inc. (EMG). The assignment was in breach of the licence agreement and the Town terminated the agreement. In late 1989, the Town received a request from EMG to enter into a licence agreement for use of the property.
24 TRCA was involved in negotiations with the Town and EMG with regard to the use of the subject parcel of land for equestrian activities over a period of years. Both the Town and EMG addressed and complied with all of TRCA's concerns during the course of this negotiation process, and agreement was reached as to the form of a licence agreement for the property. TRCA entered into a licence agreement with the Town and EMG commencing on September 1, 1997 which will terminate on August 31, 2014. Under this licence agreement, all provisions of the original management agreement between the Town and TRCA remained in force.
In 2000, EMG purchased a parcel of land east of the TRCA property and have been using this property as part of the equestrian facility. The TRCA lands and the EMG lands are known collectively as the Caledon Equestrian Park (CEP). The CEP annually hosts as many 16 prestigious equestrian events. It can provide accommodation for nearly 1,000 horses and has five international competition rings. The park also provides facilities for the many competitors from all over the world as well as those living within Canada’s largest horse community, i.e. the Caledon/King area. The CEP played host to the 2007 Pan American Games Selection Trials for both dressage and show jumping.
Pan/Parapan American Games The Pan/Parapan American Games are a multi-sport event, held every four years between competitors from all nations of the Americas. In June 2008, the Province of Ontario approved a business case to bid for the 2015 Pan American Games to be held in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Greater Golden Horseshoe area. Subsequently, the Province of Ontario submitted the business case to the Government of Canada and received federal endorsement on August 7, 2008. In March 2009, the Town was notified that the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games Bid Committee had selected the CEP as its preferred hosting site for the equestrian events. On November 6, 2009, an international delegation of representatives from Pan American Sports Organization voted in favour of awarding the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games to Toronto. It is estimated that the overall cost of hosting the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games will be $1.7 billion and that hosting the Pan/Parapan American Games will stimulate an estimated $2 billion in economic activity in Ontario, create 17,000 jobs and draw about 250,000 tourists to see more than 5,000 athletes compete.
It will be necessary to expand and improve the current CEP facility for the Pan/Parapan American Games. These upgrades and improvements include the following: a synthetic all weather footing grand prix ring (400 feet x 500 feet) along with a schooling/warm up area for the grand prix ring of the same footing being 150 feet x 250 feet; synthetic all weather footing riding and training area; a building that would include a press office, judging tower, meeting rooms and VIP viewing area, general offices, restaurant and kiosk space, retail area, and buildings for veterinarian and blacksmith facilities; permanent stadium seating for 2,000 spectators, landscaped and graded stepped area; permanent stabling for 200-250 horses as per Federal Equestrian International standards; parking and drop off areas for off site parking; internal landscaping and walkways; underground hydro vaults and local water line / storm drain and other municipal services.
25 The total cost of these improvements is estimated at $11,712,500 (in 2014 dollars). The federal and provincial governments will pay a combined 56% of all games related capital costs and will assume 100% of the games related hosting expenses. Overall, 44% of games related capital costs are to be contributed by the local host (TRCA, the Town and EMG).
In 2009, Town of Caledon Council authorized the Mayor and Clerk to enter into a Multi Party Agreement (MPA) that identifies the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games venue plan outlining all commitments obligations and benefits for contributors to Toronto’s 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games whether through funding capital commitments or in kind support. The MPA requires the Town to enter into a facility agreement or Memorandum of Understanding with the Toronto 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games Host Corporation to implement the capital infrastructure requirements.
Proposed Lease to EMG Based on Authority direction, staff entered into negotiations with Town staff and representatives of EMG. Because the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games were awarded to Toronto and the CEP was the preferred hosting site, the negotiations included the leasing of lands to EMG and negotiations to make the CEP available for the games. Rent, land transfer, revenue sharing and facility / property maintenance were the cornerstones of the discussions.
The following are the general terms and conditions of the proposed lease: EMG will convey approximately 2.4 hectares (6 acres) of their land to TRCA to allow for all capital buildings required for the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games to be built on publicly owned lands. The value of the land will be a credit to EMG as advanced rent; EMG will make available approximately 22.5 hectares (55.6 acres) of land to the CEP for the rental rate of $21,000 per year for the entire term of the lease which in turn will be sublet back to EMG for $21,000 per year for 40 years; EMG will make a $1,717,834 cash contribution towards the capital building requirements for the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games. This payment will be a credit to EMG as advanced rent; the term of the lease is 40 years; EMG will be required to pay all utility and operational expenses for the property including liability insurance; the annual basic rent for the CEP is $201,000 per year for the term of the lease. This amount is made up of $180,000 per year for the TRCA lands, including the 2.4 hectares (6 acres) acquired from EMG and the capital buildings and $21,000 per year for the EMG lands (this land is leased from EMG for the same term and amount resulting in no net cost to the Town or TRCA). For the advanced cash contribution of $1,717,834 together with the 2.4 hectare (6 acre) conveyance, EMG will receive a rent credit of $180,000 per year for the first 20 years of the lease. There will be no cash revenue to the Town or TRCA during the first 20 years and for the second 20 years, the rent of $180,000 will be received by the Town and TRCA to be shared equally;
26 As additional rent, EMG will provide to the Town and TRCA a share of all new revenues generated that are outside of the existing core business of EMG (i.e. 16 annual events). Revenue to be shared will include parking, seat sales, trade shows, weddings, permanent stall rentals, additional competitions, breed shows, dog / cat shows etc. The formula for sharing the new revenue is that the first $100,000 of new revenue less the costs associated with generating the revenue will be shared equally between the Town and TRCA. The balance of the new revenue over the $100,000 amount less the costs associated with generating the revenue will be shared equally among the Town, TRCA and EMG. Toronto 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games Host Corporation has indicated that it will impose legacy requirements with respect to the use of the facilities and under the lease EMG has agreed to comply with same which are still to be determined.
RATIONALE Since 1986, TRCA lands in Palgrave have been operated as a public / private partnership for equestrian use. In concert with TRCA and the Town, EMG has managed and developed this property for over 20 years, establishing it as one of Canada's top equestrian facilities.
One of the fundamental principals of the Pan/Parapan American Games Bid Committee was that the venues chosen must provide a permanent legacy and that the venues are financially sustainable after the Pan/Parapan American Games. In this regard, EMG will make available 22.5 hectares (55.6 acres) of their lands for the Pan/Parapan American Games and will continue to operate the venue and make available their lands after the Pan/Parapan American Games are over. The Toronto 2015 Host Corporation for the Pan/Parapan American Games requires that the expansion and improvements to the venue be completed and operational by the summer of 2014. Accordingly, because EMG's existing lease does not expire until August 2014, it is necessary to finalize a new lease with EMG at this time to meet the Host Corporation's deadlines.
The equine industry creates a significant economic benefit for the Town of Caledon and the Region of Peel today. By investing in capital improvements at the CEP for the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games, the Town will become home to one of the foremost equestrian facilities in the world. This world class facility will continue to host numerous large events each year resulting in a long term economic spin off to Caledon and Peel.
FINANCIAL DETAILS Capital Improvements A summary of the funding sources for the Caledon Equestrian Park Capital Project is as follows:
Federal/Provincial Governments (56%) $6,559,000 Local Host (44%) 5,153,500 Project Total (2014 $) $11,712,500
Local Host Share Town of Caledon $1,717,833 TRCA 1,717,833 EMG 1,717,833 Total Local Host Share (2014 $) $5,153,500
27 It is proposed that there be a contribution agreement signed by TRCA, Town of Caledon and EMG for each party's portion of the 44% capital contribution to the CEP. Funding for TRCA's share of the project cost in available in the Peel capital account- Pan Am Games Equestrian Facility.
Rent In arriving at the values for the 2.4 hectares (6 acres) of land and rents, staff has relied on information and prices provided by the Town and EMG. Based on this information, staff is satisfied with the rents proposed to be paid by EMG. Also, the lease allows for the sharing of new revenue generated by the new facility. For 2016, the first year of EMG's operation after the Pan/Parapan American Games, EMG is projecting the revenue sharing opportunity will generate an additional rent of $50,000 for each of the Town and TRCA.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff will work to finalize the terms and conditions of the lease and contribution agreements.

RECOMMENDATION
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT a conservation easement for the protection of the environmental features and functions containing 0.03 hectares (0.07 acres), more or less, consisting of an irregular shaped parcel of land being Part of Lot 10, Concession 8 and designated as Part 1 on Plan 65R-33030, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, located east side of Kipling Avenue, south of Gate House Court (Woodbridge), be purchased from Dino Faion;

AND FURTHER THAT the authorized TRCA officials be directed to take the necessary action to finalize the transaction including obtaining needed approvals and execution of documentation.
BACKGROUND Resolution #A94/10 at Authority Meeting #5/10, held on June 25, 2010, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015.
Negotiations have been conducted with Mr. Chris Markou of Lawrence, Lawrence, Stevenson LLP, Barristers & Solicitors, who acts as agent on behalf of the owner.
Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.
30 RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Humber River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015. Through the review of a permit application pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 to facilitate the construction of a single family dwelling, TRCA staff established the limits of the conservation easement lands (i.e. Part 1 on Plan 65R-33030) which are comprised of a portion of the East Humber River valley wall at this location. Access to the subject lands will be gained directly from the Kipling Avenue road allowance.

RE: REQUEST FOR DISPOSAL OF TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY LAND North of Mayfield Road, west of Kennedy Road, Town of Caledon CFN 44145 ______KEY ISSUE Recommends that a parcel of TRCA-owned land about 4.5 acres (1.8 hectares) located north of Mayfield Road, west of Kennedy Road, Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, Etobicoke Creek watershed be retained for conservation purposes.
RECOMMENDATION
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) land located north of Mayfield Road west of Kennedy Road, Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, be retained for conservation purposes.
BACKGROUND A letter has been received from Mr. Anton Kikas of Anton Kikas Limited, Consulting Engineers, Ontario Land Surveyors-Planners, who is acting on behalf of Fernbrook Homes (Etobicoke Creek) Limited, requesting that the subject parcel of TRCA-owned land situated north of Mayfield Road, west of Kennedy Road be sold to his client for proposed residential development. This parcel is about 4.5 acres, (1.8 hectares) in size and is part of a larger parcel acquired from Albert and Ruth Snell on August 17, 1976, under the Etobicoke Creek Flood Plain Acquisition Project.
At Executive Committee Meeting #4/10, held on June 4, 2010, Resolution #B55/10 was approved as follows:
THAT the potential disposal of a parcel of land located north of Mayfield Road, west of Kennedy Road, 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.
This request was circulated to staff of the Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel and TRCA for review and comment. The following comments have been received:
33 Town of Caledon Staff Comments Residential development of these tablelands is not contemplated in the Town's Official Plan. The lands are designated Environmental Policy Area in the Official Plan and are zoned Environmental Protection Area (EPA)1. The Official Plan designation is illustrated in the Snell's Hollow Secondary Plan. The Secondary Plan process began in 1996 and was completed in 2005 through Council and OMB approval. It is likely that TRCA staff played a significant role in identifying or confirming the EPA designated lands in the Secondary Plan area and the establishment of an Open Space Buffer between the EPA and Low Density Residential lands. The conversion of EPA lands for development purposes is a very rare occurrence.
Regional Municipality of Peel Staff Comments The Region has no objection to the proposed sale of these TRCA-owned lands and does not require the reservation of any easements at this location.
City of Brampton At Executive Committee Meeting #10/11, held on November 4, 2011, Resolution #B184/11 was approved as follows:
THAT item EX7.1 - Request for Disposal of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Land be deferred to Executive Committee Meeting #11/11, scheduled to be held on December 2, 2011 and include information on why the City of Brampton intends to dispose of land adjacent to the TRCA-owned parcel of land.
In 1998, as parkland dedication through the subdivision approval process, the City of Brampton acquired 41.3 acres of open space land (i.e. Summer Valley Park) which abuts TRCA property (refer to Attachment 1 for location). Summer Valley Park consists of 37.7 acres of Etobicoke Creek valley and flood plain land (Block 218 on Plan 43M-1276) and 3.6 acres of tableland (Block 219 on Plan 43M-1276). The easterly limit of the park is the municipal boundary between the City of Brampton and the Town of Caledon. The City of Brampton originally intended to develop Block 219 for active park use. However, the City has since determined, based on current sports field standards, that the small acreage of Block 219 as well as its landlocked and isolated location east of the Etobicoke Creek valley, render it impractical for active park use. In 2006, City of Brampton declared surplus Block 219 to the City's requirements. On June 23, 2010, a By-law was passed by City of Brampton Council for the sale of Block 219 on Plan 43M-1276 to Fernbrook Homes (Etobicoke Creek) Limited. Shortly after, Brampton decided that the sale of these lands would be put on hold until TRCA came to a decision on the adjacent TRCA lands.
City of Brampton staff advise that Brampton is fully prepared to execute an Agreement of Purchase and Sale with Fernbrook Homes.
Mr. Kikas has repeatedly stated to Brampton that without the purchase of the TRCA land, the adjacent City-owned property would be of no value to his client, Fernbrook Homes (Etobicoke Creek) Limited. Although the City is willing to sell its parcel, Brampton staff has indicated that this should not influence TRCA's decision.
34 TRCA Staff Comments As a component of The Living City vision, TRCA has developed a Terrestrial and Natural Heritage System Strategy (TNHSS) for its jurisdiction. The strategy proposes to achieve The Living City objective for Regional Biodiversity to protect and restore a regional system of natural areas by increasing the amount of forest and wetland habitat within TRCA's jurisdiction from 17% to 30%, apply an ecological systems-based approach to natural heritage protection, and set specific targets for quantity, quality and distribution of terrestrial natural heritage to promote biodiversity as well as a sustainable region. In doing so, TRCA has developed a TNHSS "target system" which illustrates the location and extent of natural areas identified for protection and/or enhancement; a portion of the subject lands has been identified as existing and potential cover under the TNHSS. In addition, considering that a portion of the valleylands to the west is to be utilized for stormwater management ponds, there is a significant need to retain all other natural heritage linkages in the surrounding area. The property in question is an important linkage and buffer to the north-south corridor along the creek. It must be noted that the disposal of the lands in question would result in fragmentation of TRCA landholdings.
Greening Our Watersheds: Revitalization Strategy for Etobicoke and Mimico Creeks recommends enhancement, preservation, protection and regeneration of the existing natural system. The quantity and quality of the terrestrial natural system in the Etobicoke Creek watershed is already very degraded. A detailed technical review of the terrestrial natural heritage system completed recently, as part of the Etobicoke and Mimico Creeks Watershed Plan Technical Update 2011, has established a target of 25% natural cover (existing 14%) for the headwater areas. The Mayfield West Creek corridor (within which the proposed site is located) has been recommended as a priority management and restoration area fro natural heritage. It is also recommended in the Watershed Plan Technical Update that current riparian corridors running through Mayfield West be maintained and enhanced as natural cover to mitigate the isolating effects of Mayfield Road. Furthermore, there is a significant need for additional lands to be protected as open space within the Etobicoke Creek watershed. Disposal of the subject lands for the purposes of residential development is contrary to the vision and objectives set out through various TRCA plans, strategies and technical updates.
CONCLUSION For the reasons noted in the above comments, staff is recommending that the subject parcel be retained.
A plan illustrating the location of the subject lands is outlined in Attachment 1.

36 Item EX7.4 TO: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #11/11, December 2, 2011
FROM: James W. Dillane, Director, Finance and Business Services
RE: PARTICIPATING MUNICIPALITY FUNDING New Municipal Funding Arrangements Policy ______KEY ISSUE Recommends a new funding arrangements policy for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and its participating municipalities.
RECOMMENDATION
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the new Participating Municipality Funding Arrangements Policy dated November 22, 2011 be approved as the basis for allocating the annual operating levy amongst Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) participating municipalities, commencing with the 2012 fiscal year.
BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #11/09, held on January 29, 2010, Resolution #A258/09 was approved, in part, as follows:
...AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to meet with appropriate officials of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) participating municipalities to review the draft proposal and report to the Authority on the results of these discussions.
RATIONALE The current funding “formula” which has been in place since TRCA was created in 1957 apportions the TRCA municipal operating levy amongst the participating municipalities according to the (modified) current value assessment (CVA) of property in each municipality. In essence, the operating levy has been distributed on an “ability to pay” basis. In the early years of TRCA, the City of Toronto (formerly Metropolitan Toronto) was responsible for nearly 95% of TRCA’s operating levy needs. Over the years as the assessment base has grown in the “905" area municipalities, relative to the assessment growth that has occurred in Toronto, that apportionment has gradually fallen to where it stands today, at about 65%.
The operating levy is distinguished from capital levy. Capital levy is usually project specific and most often is deemed singularly benefitting to the paying municipal partner. General levy finances programs which are deemed to benefit all the partners, such as corporate administration, corporate communications, a variety of recreation and education programs, watershed strategies support programs, the planning and development review function and operation of the flood infrastructure and warning systems.
37 Why Change is Necessary The “ability to pay method” imbedded in the existing operating levy apportionment formula does not fully reflect the benefit that each municipality receives. Growth in the GTA beyond the boundaries of the City of Toronto with its complexity and impact on greenspace and regulated areas means that TRCA resources are increasingly applied outside of Toronto. A key issue with the current levy distribution method is that Toronto is currently asked to fund 65% of the TRCA operating levy requirements but appoints only 50% (14 of the 28) members on the Authority board. The appointments to the board are governed by the Conservation Authorities Act. Public sector financial policy traditionally seeks to balance governance (who decides spending priorities) with funding commitments (who pays). The staff recommendation addresses this issue.
Further, the current formula does not permit TRCA to reflect increases in the levy commensurate with the level of service each participating municipality is prepared to support. The CVA based formula forces each municipality to follow the levy guideline that is the most restrictive.
Legislative Framework for the Levy The Conservation Authorities Act and the regulations made thereunder permit an Authority to determine the amount of levy required for general and project (capital) purposes. The amount of levy and its distribution amongst the participating municipalities is reflected in the budget presented to the Authority for approval annually. Through regulation, each Authority member is assigned a weight to his or her vote on the budget and levy resolution, for which a recorded vote is required. (Please refer to Table 1 below.) The regulation assigns a cumulative weight of 50% to the City of Toronto members (representing 14 of 28 members) and the balance is distributed to the other members on CVA. Once the budget is adopted, the levy amount and allocation is binding on each participating municipality. Where the Authority cannot reach agreement, the regulations provide that CVA must be used as the method of levy distribution.
Table 1- WEIGHTED VOTING REGULATION FOR BUDGET AND LEVY APPROVAL (Ont. Reg. 139/96) Municipality Number of 2011 CVA-Based Total Weight of Vote per Authority Apportionment Municipal Votes Member Members City of Toronto 14 65.4% 50.00% 3.57% Region of York 5 20.1% 29.01% 5.80% Region of Durham 3 3.0% 4.30% 3.33% Region of Peel 5 11.5% 16.67% 1.43% Town of Mono / 1 0.0% 0.02% 0.02% Adjala-Tosorontio Total 28 100.0% 100.00%
New Municipal Funding Arrangements Staff considered two additional methods, beyond CVA, for calculating the annual levy distribution. The first method looked at the simple average of a number of factors representing "benefit derived". This initial approach looked at factors including urban land base, TRCA land ownership, jurisdiction, regulated area, kilometres of shoreline or river length, population and governance, in addition to the assessment base. These factors were combined using simple averaging and the results are reported in Attachment 1. 38 Attachment 1 indicates that the City of Toronto’s share should be at 39.3%. Given the interconnectedness of the ecosystems and watersheds that transcend municipal boundaries it is not possible to determine accurately the amount of benefit that each partner receives. One of the considerations that cannot be measured easily is that the City is situated down stream of all the other municipalities and is the beneficiary of much of TRCA’s work that is actually undertaken outside of the City’s boundaries. It is not unreasonable that the City should be assessed a “premium” as the beneficiary of all the work that is done outside of its borders. This consideration is part of the rationalization as to why the City was assigned a higher “load” or target at 50% than is indicated by the simple average calculation in Attachment 1 (39.3%.)
The second method considered and ultimately recommended by staff is based on governance. This method involves the distribution of levy proportionate to the number of members appointed to the board. As indicated in Table 2 below, the City of Toronto which has 50% of the votes would be targeted to contribute 50% of the operating levy. Similarly, Peel, York and Durham regions would contribute the portion of the operating levy indicated by the number of members appointed to the Authority. The Town of Mono and the Township of Adjala-Tosorontio have each been arbitrarily targeted at 0.02%. Levy distribution targets based on governance are straight forward and intuitive. Further, the analysis of key surrogate measures for benefit, as set out in Attachment 1, supports the governance approach.
TABLE 2 - PROPOSED LEVY DISTRIBUTION AND TARGETS Municipality Number of 2011 CVA-Based Target Target Authority Apportionment Apportionment - Apportionment - Members Governance Various Factors Appointed Approach from Attachment 1 City of Toronto 14.0 65.4% 50.00% 50.0% Region of York 5.0 20.1% 19.23% 22.0% Region of Durham 3.0 3.0% 11.50% 9.3% Region of Peel 5.0 11.5% 19.23% 18.0% Town of Mono 0.5 0.0% 0.02% 0.4% Township of 0.5 0.0% 0.02% 0.3% Adjala-Tosorontio Total 28.0 100.0% 100.00% 100.00%
In summary, the alternative funding arrangement: achieves the objective of balancing governance with the apportionment of costs; helps to rationalize operating and capital funding attributes; can be phased in over several years to accommodate municipal funding capacity; and enables TRCA to achieve more sustainable funding for programs supported by general levy;
39 Other Levy Considerations: Tax Adjustment The levy distribution is modified by what TRCA refers to as the “tax adjustment”. This adjustment to the levy recognizes that the City of Toronto exempts TRCA from taxation on lands that are non revenue producing, whereas TRCA is required to pay taxes on all lands within the jurisdiction of all the other partners - regional municipalities of Peel, York and Durham; Town of Mono and Township of Adjala-Tosorontio. The "tax adjustment" ensures that the taxes paid are charged back to the participating municipality in whose jurisdiction the taxes originate in order to maintain an equity with the City which exempts lands from taxation.
Levy from Water Revenues Of the four major funding partners only Durham has not chosen to finance any of the levy, operating or capital, out of water revenues. The decision to use water revenues to finance any of the conservation authorities’ work rests solely with the participating municipality. TRCA simply determines the amount of funding that it requires and makes its "levy" in accordance with the Conservation Authorities Act.
FINANCIAL DETAILS The targets in Table 2 would be achieved over a number of years and by a variety of methods. For example, one way to achieve the targets is to increase the municipal operating levy contribution by transferring the "soft" capital elements to operating accounts. Soft capital refers to a variety of ongoing programs (e.g., groundwater studies, watershed implementation, etc.) funded by the municipalities which would not be considered Tangible Capital Assets. This is an issue which has been brought forward for discussion by municipal budget staff on several occasions. Further, there is also municipal funding that is negotiated directly with municipal departments and has not been traditionally classified as levy, bypassing the more formal levy process. These amounts can be budgeted as operating levy, contributing to the attainment of the target averages.
The 2012 operating budget includes an amount of about $225,000 reflecting the fact that the City of Toronto levy guideline for TRCA has been tentatively set to zero whereas indications are that Peel, York and Durham will allow modest increases over 2011. Failure to implement this new funding approach in 2012 will require that the operating budget be reduced by this amount. It is important to note that TRCA will be seeking 2012 general levy funding from each participating municipality consistent with its annual budget guidelines for TRCA.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE If the Authority approves of the funding formula change, staff will continue discussions with municipal staff in each jurisdiction to brief them on the change.

FROM: Deborah Martin-Downs, Director, Ecology
RE: SEPTIC SYSTEM INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE ______KEY ISSUE Policies regarding inspection and maintenance of septic systems in Ontario.
RECOMMENDATION
WHEREAS further additional information regarding septic inspection and maintenance programs in Ontario and elsewhere was requested by the Executive Committee in May, 2011;
AND WHEREAS some municipalities in Ontario have developed policies for the inspection and maintenance of septic systems in their jurisdictions;
AND WHEREAS the CTC Source Water Protection Committee has developed draft policies for the inspection and maintenance of septic systems in wellhead protection areas;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff be directed to consider the inspection and maintenance programs mentioned in the staff report in regard to Septic System Inspection and Maintenance dated October 14, 2011 as they consider their comments on the draft Source Water Protection Plan policies for septic systems;
AND FURTHER THAT the CTC Source Protection Committee be so advised.
BACKGROUND At Executive Committee Meeting #4/11, held on May 6, 2011, Resolution #B77/11 was approved, in part, as follows:
...AND FURTHER THAT staff report back with more information on what is being done or proposed to be done in various municipalities in terms of policy and maintenance of septic systems in an attempt to prevent pollution of groundwater and rivers, and how municipalities communicate with residents on septic issues.
42 The report supporting Resolution #B77/11 documented the different types of private septic systems, as well as some of the existing municipal bylaws that are in place for the inspection and maintenance policies and procedures of these systems. A properly constructed and maintained septic system can operate reliably for years, especially if users are careful what they put down their toilets and drains. Septic tanks allow heavy solid materials to settle to the bottom, while a lighter "froth" develops on the surface. The liquid flows out of the tank into underground perforated pipes, called the leaching bed, where it filters into the ground and is further treated by helpful bacteria and other soil organisms. If either the "froth" or solids enter the leaching bed because of lack of maintenance, the pipes in the bed will become clogged, and the system will begin to fail. Board members were seeking additional information on the tools that other governments use to control the potential for poorly maintained septic systems to pollute ground and surface waters.
RATIONALE Across Canada, the responsibility for the maintenance of septic systems rests with the individual property owners under a variety of provincial acts and regulations. Property owners are legally required to maintain their systems in working order so as not to pollute the surrounding environment. Similar legislation exists in the United States.
In Ontario, private septic systems are regulated under the Ontario Building Code Act, 1992. Private septic system design and construction in Ontario is approved by local municipalities, although two conservation authorities, North Bay-Mattawa and Rideau Valley have been delegated this responsibility. Because permits under the Building Code are granted for new construction and renovations, most municipal inspectors only trigger inspections through the building permit process. They do, however, respond to complaints by neighbouring property owners, and can issue orders for system maintenance or replacement.
The Building Code (Ontario Regulation 350/06) was amended in July 2010 by Ontario Regulation 315/10 to require mandatory on-site sewage system inspection and maintenance programs in areas where septic systems are, or would be, a significant threat to municipal drinking water. Such systems are enumerated in Ministry of the Environment (MOE)-approved Assessment Reports prepared under the Clean Water Act, 2006. To date, nine of thirty-six such approved Assessment Reports have been officially documented on the Environmental Bill of Rights website. Others, including the report covering the TRCA jurisdiction, have been approved but not yet listed in the registry.
The mandatory inspection and maintenance programs will be part of the source protection plans (SPP), which are currently under development, and will be submitted to the MOE for approval by August 31, 2012. Inspections will occur at least every five years for those septic systems identified as significant drinking water threats. It should be noted that although the regulations governing mandatory and discretionary on-site sewage inspection and maintenance programs largely came into effect January 1, 2011, municipal implementation is not expected until 2014-2015, based on the draft SPP policies released to date. Monitoring of such programs will be the responsibility of the local municipalities.
43 The mandatory requirements under the Ontario Building Code Act do not include maintenance schedules (e.g., pump out frequency), but individual source protection committees may add these to their policies. The Ontario Building Code Act amendments also enable discretionary on-site sewage system maintenance inspection programs for areas where septic systems are not significant drinking water threats. However, if a municipality chooses to establish a discretionary program, all residents and businesses in the discretionary areas will be required to have their septic systems inspected. The lack of mandatory maintenance schedules and discretionary programs for low and moderate drinking water threats represent potential gaps in the protection of groundwater resources in Ontario. For example, because of the scoring system used to enumerate significant drinking water threats, septic systems are or would be significant threats in less than 0.5 percent of the TRCA jurisdiction, leaving the remaining 99.5 percent without mandatory programs.
As summarized in Attachment 1, Huron County, Tiny Township and the Town of Georgina currently have mandatory inspection programs. TRCA staff support these proactive initiatives to protect groundwater and surface water quality. Similar programs are being considered in the North Bay-Mattawa Source Protection Region, Lambton Shores and Welland. In addition, the draft SPP policies for the TRCA jurisdiction include a "prioritized maintenance inspection program" for septic systems identified as significant drinking water threats, to be implemented within three years of the approval of the SPP.
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) has developed a guideline for septic system re-inspections under the Building Code that includes suggestions regarding communicating the new requirements to the public, including issuance of letters to property owners about the program, coverage from such media as community newspapers, and cottage association newsletters.
Beyond Ontario, Victoria, British Columbia, as well as Chelsea and Cantley in Quebec have mandatory pump-out programs on a 3-year cycle (see Attachment 1). In addition, Victoria has a mandatory annual inspection program for package treatment plants. These are innovative solutions that produce higher quality effluent than septic tanks, but incorporate mechanical and electrical components that require more maintenance.
In the United States, the State of Rhode Island passed the Rhode Island Septic System Main tenance Act, that requires municipalities to develop local bylaws for mandatory inspection programs. In 2011, the State of Florida passed Bill 550, requiring mandatory septic system inspections, but implementation has been postponed until 2012 due to concerns of the costs of inspections, repairs and/or system replacement. In addition to these two examples of state-level legislation, various municipalities across the United States, as listed in Attachment 1, have developed local mandatory or voluntary inspection programs, usually associated with vulnerable areas near municipal water supplies, rivers, lakes and/or sensitive environments (i.e., Chesapeake Bay).
The municipalities mentioned in this report use a variety of communication mechanisms, including hard copy and internet newsletters, direct mail to residents, press releases, open houses, and workshops to educate local residents about septic systems and how they operate. All of the municipalities highlight that the proper maintenance of these systems will protect both the natural environment and local sources of drinking water.
44 In summary, a number of municipalities across North America have developed, or are developing inspection and pump-out programs. It is well documented in the educational literature provided as part of these programs that a major cause of failure of septic systems is lack of maintenance. Septic system failure can result if either the floating material or solids at the bottom of the tank are allowed to pass into the tile field. Depending on use, pump outs should occur every three to five years, and if completed, should ensure the ongoing functionality of these waste management systems. The concerns with respect to mandatory programs focus on the costs of the maintenance programs (usually less than $200), versus the much higher costs of remediation/replacement of failed systems.

A permit may be refused through a Hearing Process, if in the opinion of the Authority, the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land is affected.
RECOMMENDATION
THAT permits be granted in accordance with Ontario Regulation 166/06 for the applications which are listed below:
PERMIT APPLICATIONS EX10.1 - EX10.4 ARE MAJOR APPLICATIONS
Applications that involved a more complex suite of technical studies to demonstrate consistency with policies; applications that cover a significant geographic area (e.g. subdivisions, stormwater management ponds), extensive modifications to the landscape, major infrastructure projects, emergency works, resolution of violations/after the fact permits, trail construction
CITY OF TORONTO [ETOBICOKE YORK COMMUNITY COUNCIL AREA]
EX10.1 CITY OF TORONTO To temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere and alter a watercourse (Crossing Coordinates (NAD83); 620659 E; 4832516 N.; Upstream of Berry Road and east of Royal York Road; Avenue East on the north side of Lawrence and further east - near Prince Edward Drive South and Berry Road), in the City of Toronto (Etobicoke York Community Council Area), Mimico Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by City of Toronto.
47 The purpose is to works to repair an exposed sanitary sewer and a sanitary sewer manhole in the channel of Mimico Creek (South Mimico STS MH # 21; TW Asset ID 3265104452).
The permit will be issued for the period of December 2, 2011 to December 1, 2013 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:
City of Toronto Emergency Works Declaration for South Mimico Creek Sanitary Trunk Sewer Manhole #21 (TW Asset ID 3265104452) and Crossing – Coordinates (NAD 83) 620659 E 4832516 N (adjacent to end Of Berry Road) from Don Sorel, City of Toronto; dated September 22, 2011, received by TRCA on October 12, 2011; Attachment 1: Photos and Aerials – Sheet 4 showing site and degraded creek banks, received by TRCA on October 12, 2011; Attachment 2: Photos and Aerials – Sheet 5 showing site and degraded creek banks and manhole, received by TRCA on October 12, 2011; Attachment 3: Aerial – Sheet 4 showing site, south Mimico creek sanitary sewer alignment and exposed city infrastructure locations, received by TRCA on October 12, 2011.
RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal: The City of Toronto was notified by TRCA staff regarding exposed manholes as part of the TRCA contract with the City of Toronto to inspect steep ravines and creeks for eroded infrastructure including sewers, watermain, and bridges. After considerable deliberation, City staff determined that the only immediate solution to prevent damage to the trunk sewer and manholes is to rebuild the creek bank around the exposed manhole to protect the sanitary trunk sewer system. Thus, the proposed emergency works will include rebuilding a portion of the stream bed to redirect the stream's thalweig in this area and raising the creek bed above the crown of the sanitary sewers at the sanitary trunk sewer crossing, while maintaining the essence of the sinuosity of the creek on a channel reach basis. The City is also proposing to install additional reinforcement at manhole # 19 located just south of the site to address degraded issues. 48 The City intends to rebuild about 60m to 70m stretch of the Mimico Creek bank to isolate the City’s South Mimico STS Manhole # 21 from the frequent Mimico Creek flow channel and deflect creek flows from the existing eroded Creek channel bank area/large erosion scour at the toe of the slope just south of the exposed manhole. The creek bed will also be raised in order to protect the existing sanitary sewer crossing by creating a riffle and pool system over the channel stretch, starting approximately 50m to 70 m upstream of the crossing and tie into the channel a similar length downstream. This will ensure that the low flows will be centered away from the eroded bank and maintenance hole. As part of the works, the City intends to remove/clear the existing debris (large trees limbs and large boulders) which are currently embedded between the exposed manhole and west channel bank at this location.
This area of the Mimico creek valley consists of steep sloping banks on the east bank, with fairly densely vegetated/forested on the west channel bank and flood plain. As a result, access to the emergency works site will require the creation of an access route and a crossing of the creek to work on both banks. Most of the construction storage will occur on the Berry Road Parking lot. However, since the City intends to bring in large armour-stone and large angular material to the site, a primary access route will be installed using the alignment of the existing foot/dirt trail from the Berry Road Parking lot.
Control of Flooding: Staff does not anticipate any impacts to the control and conveyance of flood waters as a result of this work.
Pollution: As most of these works will occur within the creek bed, construction will mostly occur in the wet. The City has committed to work during favorable weather conditions to reduce the potential for creek pollution. Works are scheduled to be completed within 5 weeks.
Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable
Erosion: Staff has not identified any geotechnical/slope stability issues with the proposal.
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.
Plantings Toronto Water staff are working with Urban Forestry staff regarding vegetation removals. Construction crew will document the extent of vegetation removals so appropriate compensation plans can be implemented once the works are completed. City has committed to work with TRCA staff regarding creek bank restoration and vegetation compensation measures.
49 Policy Guidelines: The proposed complies with Section 4.3 – Infrastructure and Servicing – of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal: The City of Toronto is proposing to undertake emergency works to protect public safety and municipal infrastructure located within the Wilket Creek Park against the hazards of stream erosion. The study area includes Wilket Creek from Lawrence Avenue to its confluence with the West Don River, just north of Eglinton Avenue. The proposed works will involve encasing of the existing sanitary sewer line in concrete; widening of the channel through the area to reduce flow concentration; replacement of two existing 9 m bridges with new 30 m bridges; and realigning the existing pedestrian trail away from the watercourse, including the addition of two boardwalk sections to minimize impact to the existing wetland. The works will also include site restoration, vegetated bank treatments, creation of a riparian buffer, two sections of vegetated buttress to reduce erosion at the valley wall and watercourse contacts; and, creation of a new wetland area as part of site restoration and habitat enhancement.
51 The proposed emergency works are being planned and implemented in line with the City's Geomorphic Systems Master Plan study undertaken in 2003. The 2003 study found Wilket Creek to be in a readily eroding and unstable state and suggested several restoration recommendations to address the erosion issue. In 2008, the City and the TRCA engage in the design and implementation of repairs on approximately 13 sites along Wilket Creek. However, subsequent to the completion of these repair works, three of the previously repaired sites were again destroyed/damaged during the June 23, 2008 storm. Thus, it become evident that maintenance work alone would not be sufficient to withstand significant storm events in the future and that a major investment in Wilket Creek Park was required to ensure the long-term protection of infrastructure and public safety.
Thus, the City, working in conjunction with TRCA staff, is proposing to complete and implement emergency works at three of the sites that were damaged in 2008 (Sites # 3, #6 and #7). In addition, there will be some large scale general channel rehabilitation works within the Wilket Creek Park area. The City has also initiated a detailed geomorphic study of Wilket Creek to assess the overall form and function of Wilket Creek and to provide input to the City of Toronto’ s Wet Weather Flow Master Plan. The geomorphic study and resulting detailed designs and construction activities will all occur over the next three years.
Control of Flooding: Staff does not anticipate any impacts to the control and conveyance of flood waters as a result of this work. The proposed channel realignment works are designed to improve flood conveyance through this reach of Wilket Creek and to reduce bank erosion hazards currently occurring at this site.
Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment control measures (sediment fencing) 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 construction generated sediments from entering the Wilket Creek. Erosion and sediment control measures have been provided in accordance with the TRCA Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction.
Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable
Erosion: Staff has not identified any geotechnical/slope stability issues with the proposal.
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).
52 Plantings The emergency works include site restoration and vegetated bank treatments to stabilize the banks and protect it against the regular erosion hazards. The work will also entail the creation of a riparian buffer as well as two sections of vegetated buttress to reduce erosion at the valley wall and watercourse contacts. To improve the ecological habitat and function, the City is proposing to create a new wetland area to enhance the ecological habitat which will be a net ecological gain for this site.
Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal: The City of Toronto, in July of 2011 was advised of a possible issue on the Highland Creek Sanitary Trunk Sewer along the road settlement in the south curb lane on Lawrence Avenue East approximately 200m east of McCowan Road. In response, the City immediately arrange an emergency temporary sewer bypass of the sanitary trunk sewer in order to allow for a complete sonar and CCTV inspection of the sewer line. The inspection revealed a failed section of the sanitary sewer, particularly between Manholes #99 and # 98 of the Highland Creek Sanitary Trunk Sewer. Thus, the City has deemed the project an emergency project under Chapter 195-10F of the Municipal Code and the Toronto City Council has approved the emergency repair of the sanitary trunk sewer.
The City intends to continue with the temporary sewer bypass to convey the sewer flows around the damaged section of the trunk sewer until the emergency repairs are completed. The repairs will include construction of a permanent 1050mm diameter concrete sewer parallel to the existing sewer with connections to the existing sewers at locations upstream and downstream of the failure. The new sewer as well as sections of the existing sanitary sewer will be lined with cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) to address hydrogen sulphide issues. Once the new section is in operation, the failed sections of the sewer line will be filled with concrete and abandoned in place.
54 The construction process will involve dewatering, excavation of two shafts over the top of the existing sewer within TRCA valley lands below Lawrence Avenue roadway. Then, trenchless technology will be used to construct the new sewer connection between the two shafts. Once construction is completed, the City has committed to return to the site in the spring to undertake park restoration works, tree planting and re-sodding. The site is located within the flood plain and the creek narrows overtopped during the August 2011 storm event. As a result and in response to a request from TRCA staff, the City has prepared a flood management plan to be available on site for use when necessary. All works including construction staging will occur on City-owned lands.
Control of Flooding: Staff does not anticipate any impacts to the control and conveyance of flood waters as a result of this work. The City has prepared a flood management plan to be available on site for use when necessary.
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 construction generated sediments from entering the watercourse. Erosion and sediment control measures have been provided in accordance with the TRCA Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction. City has committed to undertake in-water works only during favorable weather conditions to reduce the potential for creek pollution.
Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable
Erosion: Staff has not identified any geotechnical/slope stability issues with the proposal.
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.
Plantings The City retained SLR Consulting to undertake a vegetation inventory and assessment for the site prior to construction commencement; the results of this assessment will be provided to TRCA in a separate submission. Once construction is completed, the City has committed to return to the site in the spring to undertake park restoration works, tree planting and re-sodding.
Policy Guidelines: The proposed complies with Section 4.3 – Infrastructure and Servicing – of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
56 Proposal: On December 20, 2010, City of Toronto staff contacted TRCA regarding an exposed sanitary sewer pipe in Windfield Park. Staff understands that during an inspection by the City of Toronto staff, City staff discovered that an existing sanitary sewer pipe that crosses Wilket Creek in Windfield Park (near Country Lane, between York Mills and Lawrence Avenue on Bayview Avenue) was about to fail. City staff observed that the sewer pipe is currently exposed and if no repairs are done immediately there is a possibility that creek water could flow into a broken bell section. The exposed pipe is just downstream of an existing culvert where a pedestrian trail passes over the creek. It appears that the opposite end of the sanitary sewer has been scoured almost completely beneath the pipe. Hence, the City is planning to initiate immediate repairs to the sewer pipe including some restoration of the creek bed in this location. Thus, City staff declared this site in need of emergency repairs.
The proposed emergency repairs will involve protecting the exposed sections of the sanitary sewer pipe with an encasement as well as repairs to the sanitary sewer and restoration of the creek bed to raise the creek bed and bury the pipe will be considered temporary in nature. Access to the site will be from Windfield Park and the existing pedestrian trail. The documentation submitted to TRCA as part of the Emergency Works Declaration have addressed TRCA staff concerns.
Control of Flooding: Staff does not anticipate any impacts to the control and conveyance of flood waters as a result of this work.
Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment control measures (sediment fencing) 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 construction generated sediments from entering the watercourse. Erosion and sediment control measures have been provided in accordance with the TRCA Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction.
Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable
Erosion: Staff has not identified any geotechnical/slope stability issues with the proposal.
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). City park staff are working with Toronto water staff regarding access across the pedestrian trail system that is located within close proximity to the site.
57 Plantings The site is located within Windfield park, which is predominately park lands with few natural vegetation. Thus, any vegetation removed will be replanted once construction is completed. The City has committed to restore all disturbed area once the work has been completed. City of Toronto Urban forestry staff were consulted regarding vegetation removals.

EX10.33 REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF YORK To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere and alter a watercourse on King Road - 129m west of Weston Road, in the Township of King, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Regional Municipality of York. The purpose is to undertake emergency works to replace a 2m section of culvert that has separated from the rest of the culvert. The culvert conveys a tributary of the East Humber River under King Road. The south embankment of the road is washing into the separated section of culvert, putting the embankment and guard rail at risk. A TRCA Emergency Works Authorization Letter was issued on November 18, 2011 in order for the Regional Municipality of York to proceed with the works. The timing window will be set by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). Staff will prepare a Letter of Advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal: The project is located on King Road, 129m west of Weston Road. A 2m section of culvert on the south side of the road, that carries a tributary of the East Humber River under the road, has become separated. The road embankment is washing into the separated culvert and putting the embankment and guard rail at risk. The proposal is to first remove the gabion stones on the road embankment. The 2m section of culvert will be removed and replaced with a 3m section of culvert. The road embankment will then be graded to match the rest of the road embankment and terraseeded and the cable guide rail will be replaced. This application seeks to formalize works that have already been approved through the Emergency Works process. The proposed works are classified as "Emergency Works" because the embankment failure presents an immediate hazard to public safety, and as such, represents a threat of injury to persons, loss of life, or loss of property (Conservation Authorities Act).
Control of Flooding: The proposed project will not have any significant impacts on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters.
110 Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment control measures (silt fence, cofferdam, splash pad, terra seeding) 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 construction generated sediments from entering any watercourse or wetland. Erosion and sediment controls have been provided in accordance with the TRCA Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban Construction.
Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable
Erosion: The purpose of the project is to restore the road embankment and prevent further erosion.
Conservation of Land: The works will be done in the dry and with the proposed erosion and sediment controls in effect, the potential for a Harmful Alteration Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated. A Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA Staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The fisheries timing window will be set by MNR.
Plantings All disturbed areas will be stabilized with native non-invasive species.
Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

EX10.34 7900 AIRPORT ROAD DEVELOPMENTS INC. To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure and site grade on Lot 14, 15, Concession 6, (7900 Airport Road), in the City of Brampton, Mimico Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by 7900 Airport Road Developments Incorporated. The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Mimico Creek Watershed in order to facilitate earthworks, construction of a new stormwater management facility, and the installation of infrastructure servicing associated with a proposed industrial draft plan of subdivision.
The permit will be issued for the period of December 2, 2011 to December 1, 2013.
The documents and plans which form part of this permit will be listed in a separate report
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 Mimico Creek Watershed in order to facilitate earthworks, construction of a new stormwater management facility, and the installation of infrastructure servicing associated with a proposed industrial draft plan of subdivision (City File No. 21T-06022B) at 7900 Airport Road, located south of Steeles Avenue and west of Airport Road, in the City of Brampton. The subject property was previously a driver training centre operated by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO). The site was vacant for several years. Recently, the buildings and parking/driveway areas (located entirely on the tableland portion of the subject property) have been demolished and removed. The subject property is 32.4 ha in size and the application involves the creation of four (4) industrial blocks, a stormwater management facility, and an open space block. The western portion of the subject property is located immediately adjacent to a valley corridor of the Mimico Creek Watershed.
112 Due to an undersized culvert under the CN railway located just south of the subject property, water flows associated with the Regional Storm event backup in the area and spill into the subject lands. As such, a portion of the lands of this proposed industrial subdivision are presently within the Regional Storm Floodplain. Through the draft plan review, a Functional Servicing Report (FSR) was completed and reviewed/approved by TRCA staff that identifies the potential for the realignment of the floodplain to alleviate the flooding risks associated with this draft plan of subdivision. The report identifies that the floodplain is considered to be a spill as a result of the undersized culvert located downstream of this site. As a result, the floodplain characteristics on the subject property have been identified by TRCA staff as being distinctly different from those of upstream and downstream areas. In this regard, TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) includes provisions to permit the alteration of a floodplain that contains a spill area. As a result, as a condition of draft plan approval, a proposed scheme to alter the floodplain through "cut and fill" works that ensures that flood storage and conveyance will be maintained was agreed to "in principle". As a part of this application, a hydraulic report was submitted, which satisfies the above noted condition of draft approval. Please be advised that the proposed "cut and fill" works ensures that the proposed development associated with this industrial subdivision is located entirely outside of the floodplain.
As part of this application, 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 adversely impact this reach of the Mimico Creek Watershed. 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. These plans will be finalized, reviewed and approved by TRCA staff prior to the issuance of this permit. Through the related draft plan of subdivision, buffers consistent with TRCA’s guidelines have been incorporated into the plan. As such, the proposed development is sufficiently setback from the valley corridor.
Control of Flooding: Once grading works are completed, the proposed development will be located entirely outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. In addition, the "cut and fill" works have been designed in accordance with TRCA's guidelines/procedures. As such, no adverse impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated.
Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be constructed/installed and maintained throughout all phases of development. Temporary sediment basins/ponds are proposed as part of the erosion and sediment control scheme, which conforms to TRCA's Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban Construction.
Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.
113 Erosion: re are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns associated with this proposal.
Conservation of Land: As a component of the EIS, a Tree Inventory and Preservation Report was submitted and reviewed by TRCA staff. Based on our review, it appears that no significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. The enhancement planting plan is premised on augmenting the existing valley vegetation, particularly in areas where the natural vegetation is less dense. In addition, restoration efforts will also be directed in the valley in the western portion of the site to provide further riparian vegetation along the edges of the Mimico Creek. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this project.
Plantings All proposed plantings will be native and non-invasive, consistent with TRCA's planting/restoration guidelines.
Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development and Section 3.2.2 - Policies and Procedures for Establishing Corridor Boundaries and Alterations (Stream Corridors) - of the Authority's VSCMP.

Proposal: The purpose of this application is to undertake earthworks and servicing within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed associated with a proposed residential plan of subdivision located between Clarkway Drive and Highway 50, south of Castlemore Road, in the City of Brampton.
The subject property is located within the Bram East Area "F" Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP)/Block Plan area, which incorporates lands between The Gore Road and Highway 50, south of Castlemore Road in the City of Brampton. As part of the City of Brampton's Growth Management program, a number of the proposed residential plan of subdivisions within Phase 1 of the Block Plan area have been given development allocation. As such, TRCA staff have provided conditions of draft approval for these subdivisions applications.
115 The subject property is traversed by Rainbow Creek, a tributary of the West Humber River. Due to an existing undersized culvert under Highway 50, water flows associated with the Regional Storm event backup in the area and spill onto the subject lands. As such, a portion of the lands of this proposed subdivision are presently within the Regional Storm Floodplain. Through a recent Environmental Assessment (EA) for proposed works on this section of Highway 50, measures are being put in place to increase the capacity of the culverts under Highway 50, which will alleviate the flooding on the subject property. A TRCA permit (Permit #C-10450) has been approved by the TRCA Executive Committee for the relief culverts. The Highway 50 relief culvert works are nearing completion. In the interim, the applicant is proceeding with grading and earthworks and the installation of servicing within the areas that will shortly be removed from the floodplain. As part of this application, the applicant has assessed the potential interim impacts of the proposed development, which will occur prior to the works associated with the relief culverts being complete. This assessment has concluded that the proposed works proposed under this permit application will not exacerbate flooding of the property. As such, TRCA staff do not anticipate any impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of floodwaters as a result of construction. Once the culverts are in place and operational, the subject lands will be completely removed from the floodplain.
Control of Flooding: The proposed works are presently located within the Regional Storm Floodplain. However, this is an interim condition that will shortly be alleviated through the construction of relief culverts under Highway 50, and in the interim, the proposed works have been assessed and it is anticipated that the works will not adversely impact the existing storage and/or conveyance of flood waters or increase risk.
Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed and maintained throughout all phases of construction on the subject property.
Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.
Erosion: There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns associated with this project.
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 A comprehensive planting plan is to be provided and implemented for the Rainbow Creek corridor as a condition of draft approval of this subdivision application. As a coordinated plan is still being developed for all the subdivisions within this Block Plan, details on the proposed plantings have not been finalized. This permit will not be issued until the comprehensive planting plan for these lands have been approved by TRCA staff.
116 Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

The purpose is to construct a new collector road on a municipal right-of-way between Tillings Road and Brock Road.
The permit will be issued for the period of December 2, 2011 to December 1, 2013.
The documents and plans which form part of this permit will be listed in a separate report
RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
117 Proposal: The proposal is to interfere with a wetland to facilitate the construction of a new collector road on a municipal right-of-way to service a number of residential subdivisions. The site is located on the east side of Tillings Road, west of Brock Road and Taunton Road in the City of Pickering. The site is not located within the valley corridor but includes shallow wetlands identified in the field by TRCA staff. The road is part of the proposed Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. The neighbourhood was subject to a municipal Official Plan Amendment and an Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) process which addressed issues such as overall protection and enhancement of the natural heritage system as well as water management. The wetlands were identified as a part of that planning process. Various Draft Plans of Subdivision have been approved with conditions in the nearby area. As part of the planning process, an additional approximately 38 hectares of lands formerly identified for development within the Duffin Heights neighbourhood were protected as part of the natural heritage system to mitigate the impacts from those remaining lands that will be developed. The site was subject to previous TRCA Permit C-10239 issued on April 13, 2010 to remove trees and grub within the municipal right-of-way.
The new road was fitted on site with TRCA to minimize impacts on the shallow wetlands and is designed to allow the flow of water between adjacent wetlands on each side of the road. The road has also been fitted with mountable curbs and catch basin grates with smaller than standard openings to allow amphibians to cross the road. The road will be fairly lightly travelled as it is not a through route between major arterial roads.
Permit After the Fact: The road is being constructed by the developers of the adjacent subdivisions. The developers' contractor started construction without the benefit of a TRCA permit. As a result, the developer has paid the application fee plus 100% as required for a permit "after the fact".
Control of Flooding: The proposal is not located within a Regional Storm floodplain.
Pollution: Sediment fencing will be installed around the area to be disturbed and drainage shall be maintained.
Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.
Erosion: The site is not located near a watercourse and therefore there are no erosion concerns.
Conservation of Land: The neighbourhood was subject to a municipal Official Plan Amendment and an on-going Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) process which addressed issues such as overall protection and enhancement of the natural heritage system as well as water management. The interference with the wetlands will have no impact on the conservation of land.
118 Plantings Only the minimum width required for the road, sidewalk and multi-use pathway has been cleared. No additional plantings are required.
Policy Guidelines: The proposal is not located within a Valley Corridor. The proposal complies with Section 2.1, Natural Heritage, of the Provincial Policy Statement, through the wider master environmental servicing scheme approved by the City of Pickering in consultation with TRCA.

The purpose is to construct a new access bridge over Black Creek to provide safe and convenient public access to the Keelesdale park facilities, located east of the Black Creek and south of Eglinton Avenue in Toronto. The new bridge will be approximately 10 m wide and 40 m long and will accommodate 2 traffic lanes, a sidewalk and two continuous retaining walls supporting the embankment and connecting the east end of the bridge to an existing parking lot. 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 December 2, 2011 to December 1, 2013.
119 The documents and plans which form part of this permit will be listed in a separate report
RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:
Proposal: The Transit Expansion Department of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is proposing to construct a new bridge over Black Creek, just south of Eglinton Avenue in Etobicoke. This new vehicular bridge will provide convenient public access to the Keelesdale Park area and Chris Tonks Arena during the tunneling construction of the proposed Eglinton Crosstown transit project. Currently, the only access to Keelesdale Park is from Eglinton Avenue. TTC is proposing that the existing bridge access will be used by construction vehicles for the tunnel construction on Eglinton Avenue. Thus, the TTC completed a Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study to investigate alternative methods for accessing the park and arena as well as to examine bridge crossing options. It was determined through the EA that the preferred alternative will involve the construction of a new bridge over Black Creek to the Chris Tonks Arena which will provide an access for Park users from Black Creek Drive. This will ensure that park users have an exclusive access point via Black Creek Drive, away from the construction activities that will occur on Eglinton Avenue.
The proposed bridge will be approximately 10 m wide and 40 m long and will accommodate 2 traffic lanes and pedestrian sidewalk, and will be via the existing signalized intersection at Photography Drive. The bridge will consist of two continuous retaining walls that will support the embankment and connect the east end of the bridge to an existing parking lot. Construction is expected to commence early 2012 in order to be ready for park users and to facilitate the other stages of the proposed Eglinton Cross-town transit project. Once construction of the Eglinton Cross-town transit project is completed, the bridge will act as permanent link between the future City of Toronto York Community Center and the existing arena/park space. TTC is working with TRCA staff and the City of Toronto Urban Forestry staff regarding vegetation removals and a restoration plan. The construction staging site will be on City of Toronto lands at the Keelesdale Park located just east of Black Creek.
Control of Flooding: TRCA staff have confirmed that the control or conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted by this new bridge.
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 entering into the Black Creek. Erosion and sediment control measures have been provided in accordance with the TRCA Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction.
Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable
120 Erosion: There are no geotechnical engineering issues associated with the proposed works.
Conservation of Land: With erosion and sediment control plans in effect, the potential for a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) to fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).
Plantings All disturbed areas within close proximity to the new bridge and access road will be restored with native/non-invasive species following construction. TTC will work with TRCA staff and the City of Toronto Urban Forestry staff regarding vegetation removals and a restoration plan. The restoration plan for the larger area will occur as part of the entire Eglinton Cross-town transit project.
Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.
