    Arnie and Elaine Rose March 13, 2013 Ontario Energy Board P.O. Box 2319, 27th Floor, 2300 Yonge Street Toronto, On, M4P 1E4 Attention Board Secretary: Re: Letter of Comment GTA Project – Segment B We are commenting in response to a Notice of Application by Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., to build segments of pipeline in the GTA, posted in the Toronto Star on March 5, 2013. We live just south of Highway 407 and west of Leslie St. less than one kilometre from the proposed pipeline Segment B. We are very concerned about the environmental impact of the proposed extension of the underground natural gas pipeline connecting the Keele/CNR station to the proposed Buttonville station. We have lived in our house for twenty seven years and have already felt the environmental impact of the Highway 407 construction. During the construction of the highway, many species of wildlife were displaced from their habitat. Our backyard abuts Little German Mills Creek and the surrounding ravine. This area became the temporary habitat for displaced species such as Ring-Necked Pheasants, Great Blue Herons, deer and foxes. We had never seen these species of wildlife in such numbers before the construction began. Within a few years of the completion of construction, these species no longer inhabit the ravine. The creek itself was also impacted by the construction of the 407. The creek flow has increased resulting in creek bank erosion and greater sedimentation disrupting aquatic wildlife. It has taken over ten years for environmentally-sensitive Little German Mills Creek and the surrounding ravine to begin to recover and regenerate from these disruptions.

Project Manager, Engineering Projects Restoration & Infrastructure Division Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 9755 Canada Company Avenue, Vaughan, ON, L4H 0A3 [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) continues to work towards promoting healthy rivers and shorelines, protection of greenspaces and biodiversity, and sustainable communities to improve people’s lives within our growing region. The Region of York Environmental Services and TRCA Engineering Projects collectively operate the Integrated Infrastructure Protection Works Program to monitor, design and implement remedial erosion control works to protect at risk Region of York infrastructure. The Leslie Collector sewer has been identified to be at risk of exposure from natural creek erosion and migration at several locations along German Mills Creek. The study area is located within German Mills Settlers Park, in the City of Markham and commences approximately 660 metres south of John Street. The study area includes Leslie Collector maintenance holes MH6 to MH10 that corresponds with infrastructure erosion hazard Sites I-152, P-060, P-062, P-065, P-068 and I-151. The German Mills Settlers Park Sanitary Infrastructure Protection Project is being completed in accordance with a Schedule B Municipal Water and Wastewater Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA). The focus of this study is to assess the level of risk to infrastructure and the environment, provide preliminary design alternatives, and proceed through the MCEA. As required under the Schedule B MCEA planning process, a public information session has been held over the course of the study with input being sought from any interested agencies, community members and First Nations groups.
