SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION

RES.#B112/09 - REQUEST FOR DISPOSAL OF TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY-OWNED LANDRear of Various Residential Properties along Royalpark Way and Panorama Crescent, East of Regional Road 27, south of Rutherford Road, CFN 40996. Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of requests from 16 residential property owners to explore the possibility of a sale of fragments of TRCA-owned land located directly behind 6, 10, 14, 16, 20, 24, 26, 28, 30, 34, 36, 40, 42, 46, 50 and 52 Royalpark Way, and 5 properties owner along Panorama Crescent, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, Humber River watershed.

Moved by: Maja PrenticeSeconded by: David Barrow

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) land located directly behind 6, 10, 14, 16, 20, 24, 26, 28, 30, 34, 36, 40, 42, 46, 50 and 52 Royalpark Way, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, be retained for conservation purposes;

THAT the TRCA land directly behind 40, 44, 46, 48, 50 and 52 Panorama Crescent, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, be retained for conservation purposes;

AND FURTHER THAT TRCA staff be directed to arrange for the removal of any remaining encroachments at these two locations.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDA request was received on October 28, 2008 from Councillor Tony Carella (Ward 2 - City of Vaughan) on behalf of 16 residential property owners along Royalpark Way, requesting the sale of fragments of TRCA land situated east of Regional Road 27, south of Rutherford Road, for additions to their residential properties.

At Executive Committee Meeting #10/08, held on December 12, 2008, Resolution #B162/08 was approved as follows:

716

THAT the potential disposal of fragments of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)-owned land located directly behind 6, 10, 14, 16, 20, 24, 26, 28, 30, 34, 36, 40, 42, 46, 50 and 52 Royalpark Way, City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, be referred to 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.

The 16 residential property owners were encroaching on TRCA land , which was acquired by TRCA through the subdivision process. The encroachments consist of the removal of vegetation; the dumping of grass clippings, excavated fill material, etc.; planting of vegetable gardens / trees; stored piles of timber, stones, rocks, concrete, etc.; placement of children's playground equipment/swing sets; construction of garden sheds; and mowing of natural ground cover. In 2008, letters were sent to each landowner, requiring removal of structures, stored material, etc. and indicating that TRCA property was not to be disturbed any further and left to naturalize. With the exception of one garden shed, all structural encroachments have been removed from TRCA property. At the request of this property owner, staff agreed not to pursue the removal of the shed until the review of this sale request had been finalized. Some of the owners continue to mow the native ground cover and plant vegetable gardens on these TRCA lands.

The TRCA valleylands in this vicinity were acquired from Ivy Green Homes Inc. and Queens Gardens Holdings Inc. on November 27, 1998 under the "Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project 1996-2000", Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Humber River watershed.

As per TRCA's disposal policy, this request was circulated to City of Vaughan and Regional Municipality of York staff as well as TRCA staff for review and comment. The following comments have been received:

City of Vaughan staff City of Vaughan Planning Department has no objection to the proposed disposition. However, no buildings or structures other than for conservation or flood control projects would be permitted within the OS1 Open Space Conservation Zone. In addition, the OS1 zoned lands would not be used in calculating the lot frontage, lot area, coverage or yards required by the City's Comprehensive By-law. The Planning Department staff's preference would be to avoid a split zone situation and rezone the OS1 Open Space Conservation Zone to an R4 Residential Zone.

Regional Municipality of York staff The Regional Municipality of York Property Services Branch has no objection to the proposed sale of the subject lands.

TRCA staff Planning and Development staff does not support the request for disposal of TRCA lands at this location for the following reasons:

717

As part of the review and approval of residential subdivision 19T-89047 (known as Ivy Green Homes Inc.) and at the request of TRCA staff at that time, a geotechnical report was prepared that identified six (6) active erosion zones along the Humber River which traverse the open space block of this subdivision. One of the identified erosion zones was found to have a potential impact on areas directly behind several lots subject to this disposal request. It would therefore be prudent to ensure the continued protection of the lots from the identified erosion hazard by not allowing homeowners to encroach into these potentially problem areas. Through the acquisition of the valley lands and the substantial review of geotechnical investigations, a significant amount of time and effort has been spent by staff to ensure the long term protection of this reach of the East Humber River from an ecological and erosion hazard perspective.

The Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) sets out the Program Framework for TRCA. One of the principles in the VSCMP states: "the successful management of valley and stream corridors is dependent on good tableland management". Removing lands that are considered to be buffers does not meet the notion of good tableland management. Additionally, the VSCMP defines the limits of stream/valley corridors to include a minimum of 10 metres inland from the top of valley bank, provided that the stream or valley is in a stable condition. In the case of this subdivision, the erosion prone lands along the Humber River have been engineered and streambank erosion measures have been constructed to protect both the valley corridor and the adjacent residential properties. However, in the event of failure of the erosion protection, the valley's natural stable top of slope and requisite 10 metre tableland buffer would likely be located within the area proposed to be acquired by the neighbouring residential properties.

Lastly, as part of day-to-day negotiations with the development industry and private property owners, staff always endeavors to obtain a buffer for the protection of ecological features/stream and valley corridors as well as to protect private lands. Therefore, the approval of this request would be contrary to TRCA's VSCMP policies as well as TRCA's mandate to conserve natural areas and protect adjacent lands from natural hazards.

Panorama CrescentIn addition to the request for disposal of TRCA land by the Royalpark Way residents, staff has also received an identical request from the owners along Panorama Crescent who have also encroached on TRCA property behind their rear lot boundaries. Panorama Crescent is located along the same reach of the East Humber River valley corridor (Attachment 1). The owners of 40, 44, 46, 48, 50, and 52 Panorama Crescent are seeking to acquire TRCA tableland behind their respective lots.

As in the case of resolving the Royalpark Way encroachments, staff has been successful in convincing most of the Panorama Crescent landowners to remove the majority of structural encroachments, with the exception of one garden shed; however, mowing of natural ground cover and the planting of vegetable gardens still persists. The TRCA lands behind the properties on Panorama Crescent were acquired by the same transaction as the TRCA lands behind Royalpark Way. In addition, the same geotechnical report, corrective recommendations and streambank erosion protection was completed behind this portion of Panorama Crescent.

718

TRCA's Planning and Development staff has also reviewed this request and the comments relating to Royalpark Way also apply to Panorama Crescent.

RATIONALEIt is staff's opinion that the acquisition and retention of tableland buffers are essential to the protection of the ecological features/functions of stream and valley corridors as well as provide additional protection to abutting private lands, particularly those situated in erosion prone locations. The lack of tableland buffers has resulted in substantially greater risks to private properties and human habitation and the potential for costly remediation projects as is presently being experienced in the case of the Royal Rouge Trail and Troutbrooke Drive erosion sites.

RES.#B113/09 - GREENLANDS ACQUISITION PROJECT FOR 2006-2010Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Rouge River WatershedPurchase of Land - Shirley Klees, CFN 38959. Acquisition of land located on the north side of Stouffville Road, east of Bayview Avenue, Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York, under "Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006-2010,” Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Rouge River watershed.

Moved by: David BarrowSeconded by: Jack Heath

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 16.14 hectares (39.3349 acres), more or less, of vacant land being Part of Lots 1 and 2, Concession 2, Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York, located on the north side of Stouffville Road, east of Bayview Avenue be purchased from Shirley Klees;

THAT the purchase price be $1,360,000;

That acquisition of this property by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) be conditional on all necessary funding being available from one or more of the following sources: Regional Municipality of York, Town of Richmond Hill, City of Toronto and other potential funding sources;

THAT TRCA receive conveyance of the land free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements;

THAT the firm of Gardiner Roberts LLP, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be paid;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the signing and execution of any documents.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDResolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006-2010.

In the late 1990's the Rouge Park Alliance/TRCA developed a Pool of Priority Sites for Acquisition and included in the list was the Jefferson Forest Environmentally Significant Area (ESA) and the Provincial Life Science Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) called the Wilcox Lake Wetlands and Uplands, in an area approximately bounded between Bayview Avenue and Leslie Street, north of Stouffville Road and south of Bethesda Road. This is considered to be an important headwaters area for the Rouge River. In February 2001, the first property in the area, a 46 acres property, 940 Stouffville Road, was purchased by TRCA with funding assistance from the Town of Richmond Hill, the Regional Municipality of York and the Province of Ontario.

721

In May 2001, the Oak Ridges Moraine Protection Act, 2001 froze all development applications on the moraine including an area referred to as Yonge East and West in the Town of Richmond Hill (Oak Ridges Corridor Park - herein "Corridor Park"). On September 23, 2004, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing announced that the Province of Ontario and certain landowners on the Oak Ridges Moraine in the Town of Richmond Hill had reached an agreement to exchange lands. The purpose of the land exchange was to protect the last remaining natural corridor link between the eastern and western parts of the Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill. Under the agreement, 1,057 acres (428 hectares) of land in Richmond Hill would come into public ownership. The Province completed the land exchange in August 2007, and became owners of the Oak Ridges Corridor Park. Approximately 120 acre of the 1,057 acre Corridor Park is found in the Jefferson Forest ESA east of Bayview, (Corridor Park East).

In addition to the corridor park lands an opportunity arose for the Province to secure and protect additional adjacent lands in public ownership within the Corridor Park East area. Through this process TRCA acquired 269 acres within the Corridor Park East.

Another important part of the Corridor Park East land assembly, 900 Stouffville Road, a 25 acre parcel, was acquired in 2006, through a partnership involving the Regional Municipality of York, the Town of Richmond Hill, City of Toronto and the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation. In 2008, the Swan Lake property which is the second last remaining large parcel in Corridor Park East was acquired though a partnership involving the Regional Municipality of York, the Town of Richmond Hill, City of Toronto, the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation, Ducks Unlimited Canada and the EJLB Foundation. This raised the total land owned by TRCA in Corridor Park East to 392 aces and the total Corridor Park to 1,449 acres (provincial lands plus TRCA lands). This acreage does not include TRCA=s Lake St. George property or Town of Richmond Hill park lands.

RATIONALEThe subject property is the only remaining large parcel to be acquired to complete the Corridor Park East land assembly and will be a key link to other public lands. Staff is recommending that TRCA acquire it.

The agreement is conditional on the availability of funding. The offer at hand is supported by an appraised value based on an independent valuation.

Negotiations have been conducted with the owner.

Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.

The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Rouge River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006-2010. The subject property is also included in the Pool of Priority Acquisition Sites for the Rouge Park approved by the Rouge Park Alliance.

722

It is located in the headwaters of the Rouge River, in the provincially significant Wilcox Lake and Uplands Area of Natural and Scientific Interest and within the Jefferson Forest Environmentally Significant Area (ESA#90). The property is designated as Natural Core Area under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. The addition of the subject parcel will compliment TRCA's holdings in this area.

TAXES AND MAINTENANCESince this property has been designated as a provincially significant ANSI it will be eligible to receive a property tax exemption. TRCA, together with other stakeholders including the Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York and Ontario Realty Corporation are currently preparing a management plan for the Corridor Park East lands. The subject property will be included in this process.

FINANCIAL DETAILSThe subject property was identified on the list of properties approved by the City of Toronto to be funded from the City's Land Acquisition for Source Water Protection Reserve. The City will fund up to 33% of the costs of the acquisition for properties on the list located outside of the city boundaries.

Town of Richmond Hill and Regional Municipality of York staff have indicated during preliminary discussions that they would support a contribution to this purchase. Other potential funding sources are The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto, other foundations and the TRCA land sale reserve. Expenditures related to this acquisition will be charged to account 004-11-502.

RES.#B116/09 - CITY OF TORONTORequest for a Permanent Easement for a Stormwater Outfall and Plunge Pool/WetlandDon River Watershed, City of Toronto (North York Community Council Area), CFN 42851. Receipt of a request from the City of Toronto to provide a permanent easement for the construction of a stormwater outfall and plunge pool/wetland, south of Steeles Avenue, east of Dufferin Street (adjacent to 1755 Steeles Avenue), Don River watershed, City of Toronto (North York Community Council Area).

Moved by: Ron MoeserSeconded by: Colleen Jordan

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of a request from the City of Toronto to provide a permanent easement for a stormwater outfall and plunge pool/wetland, south of Steeles Avenue, east of Dufferin Street (adjacent to 1755 Steeles Avenue), Don River watershed, City of Toronto (North York Community Council Area);

WHEREAS it is in the best interest of TRCA in furthering its objectives as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act to cooperate with the City of Toronto in this instance;

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT a permanent easement containing a total of 0.12 hectares (0.30 acres), more or less, be granted to the City of Toronto for a stormwater outfall and plunge pool/wetland, said land being south of Steeles Avenue, east of Dufferin Street (adjacent to 1755 Steeles Avenue), City of Toronto (North York Community Council Area), as shown on a Topographic Plan of Survey of Sanofi Pasteur Canada, prepared by Speight, Van Nostrand & Gibson Ltd., Ontario Land Surveyors, under their Job No. 061-0270, dated September 12, 2006;

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

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

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

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

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

731

THAT the granting of this easement is subject to receipt of written approval from the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department who manage these lands on behalf of TRCA;

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

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the signing and execution of any documents.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDThe City of Toronto has formally requested a permanent easement for the construction of a stormwater outfall and plunge pool/wetland, south of Steeles Avenue, east of Dufferin Street (adjacent to 1755 Steeles Avenue). The Sanofi Pasteur Connaught Campus has prepared a Master Stormwater Management Report to identify the quality and quantity impacts of the change in stormwater run-off on existing infrastructure and watercourses as a result of new buildings/additions under construction, as well as future re-development at the south end of the subject property. At Executive Committee Meeting #6/09, held on August 7, 2009, approval of Phase 1 of the stormwater management scheme, as reviewed and accepted by TRCA staff, was received for all proposed works on the tableland portion of the site, outside of TRCA property. Phase 2 of the project includes a new single stormwater outfall and plunge pool/wetland to be constructed on the adjacent valley lands owned by TRCA.

The stormwater outfall and plunge pool/wetland will be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and Regulated Area of the West Don River. A permit application pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 for construction of the Phase 2 works will be scheduled at a future Executive Committee meeting.

The subject TRCA-owned lands were acquired from the Governing Council of the University of Toronto on September 28, 1972 under the Finch (a.k.a. G. Ross Lord) Dam and Reservoir Land Acquisition Project.

PlantingsAll lands disturbed by construction will be stabilized and, where deemed appropriate by TRCA staff, revegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant material in accordance with existing TRCA landscaping guidelines. A landscape plan will be prepared and form part of the permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06.

A plan illustrating the permanent easement location is attached.

732

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

RES.#B117/09 - EROSION CONTROL MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMProposed Policy Revision. Update on the Erosion Control Monitoring and Maintenance Program, and amendment to policy regarding cost-sharing agreements for benefiting landowners.

Moved by: Ron MoeserSeconded by: Colleen Jordan

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) policy regarding the contributions by private property owners towards valley and shoreline regeneration works as set out in Resolution #71/81, and confirmed in Resolution #A91/98 be revised by deleting clause (c) and substituting the following:

(c) Where agreement to policy (b) cannot be achieved, the benefiting owner(s) will be assessed 100% of the cost of the works.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDAt Executive Committee Meeting #5/09, held on July 10, 2009, members directed staff to report back on TRCA's Erosion Control Monitoring and Maintenance Program to gain an understanding of the ranking process.

The primary goal of the TRCA Erosion Control Monitoring and Maintenance Program is to minimize risk to life and property as a result of the erosion of riverbanks, valley walls and shorelines while protecting and enhancing the natural attributes of the riverine valleys and Lake Ontario shoreline within the TRCA jurisdiction. This goal is derived from the objectives of the Conservation Authorities Act (1946), whereby conservation authorities are responsible for the development and maintenance of programs for the protection of life and property from natural hazards such as flooding and erosion.

TRCA adopted the Streambank Erosion Control Program in 1966 as a means of carrying out remedial works upstream of proposed reservoirs on public and private lands in an effort to reduce the amount of siltation occurring and to improve fish habitat in the watersheds. This program entailed the identification of erosion sites, monitoring the rate of erosion at these sites, and the implementation of erosion control works as required to reduce the amount of siltation occurring as the result of ongoing erosion. This program also included a monitoring protocol for structures built to ensure the ongoing effectiveness and integrity of the structures and to identify maintenance needs.

In 1972 the City of Toronto, in partnership with TRCA, adopted a policy and associated funding program to address erosion control and bank stabilization. Between 1972 and 1977 the program evolved to include the protection of public infrastructure, parklands, recreational trails, and residential dwellings threatened by bank erosion and slope instability issues arising from historic planning and development decisions. Similar policies were adopted by the regional municipalities of Durham, Peel and York in 1977.

The adoption of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program in 1994 marked a significant step forward by TRCA to reduce the amount of new development occurring within erosion prone areas in the jurisdiction. This document represents the amalgamation of a number of updated planning policies, including the introduction of designated valleyland corridors from which setbacks be required and adhered to, and creating greenspace between developed parcels of land and environmentally significant areas. This program specifically promoted the establishment of a standard 10 metre buffer between long-term stable slope crests and the proposed development area, thereby ensuring that new residential and commercial structures, as well as public infrastructure, are protected from natural erosion processes.

Erosion Control Monitoring and Maintenance ProgramThe Erosion Control Monitoring and Maintenance Program is responsible for the annual monitoring of over 350 erosion control structures and 40 erosion sites on public and private valley lands, approximately 42 kilometres of Lake Ontario shoreline, and over 250 residential dwellings on the Scarborough Bluffs. The annual monitoring program is designed to prioritize erosion control works to be undertaken the following year as funding levels permit, due to overall program funding constraints.

Program DetailsThe program has two primary functions; to identify and monitor unprotected erosion sites, and to monitor and maintain erosion control structures under the ownership of TRCA.

Erosion Site MonitoringFor unprotected erosion sites, staff monitor the erosion activity on a regular schedule and prioritize sites for remedial intervention annually, utilizing a numerical ranking model developed specifically for this purpose. Top ranking sites in the initial prioritization are subject to a risk assessment prior to the confirmation of project status under the Class Environmental Assessment for Remedial Erosion and Flood Control Projects (Class EA). The risk assessment is used to determine the cause(s) of erosion and the level of hazard to essential structures (houses, infrastructure, etc.) for the affected area. In the event of emergency situations this process is expedited.

The typical flow of the program is as follows:erosion site is identified to TRCA staff; staff conduct an inspection of the site, complete erosion assessment form and set up erosion monitoring stations; site information is added to the Erosion Control Database; monitoring sites are inspected on a regular schedule (standard is annually, more active sites require more frequent inspections (monthly, weekly etc.)); sites are ranked for priority of TRCA intervention based on the scores obtained from the erosion assessment forms; top ranking sites are funded for risk assessment, which is conducted by a third party consulting firm; pending the results of the risk assessments, staff request permission to commence a Class EA; a Class EA is initiated for each of the applicable sites (subject to funding approval);

736

the Class EA for the development of remedial works is completed. The Class EA includes a public consultation process to ensure that any concerns with the proposed works are addressed prior to implementation; construction of the approved works is completed upon receipt of funding; all erosion control structures are monitored on a regular schedule to ensure ongoing function and data from the inspections is entered into the Erosion Control Database; annually all of the structures are ranked based on condition and functionality for prioritization of maintenance works; andmaintenance of structures completed for priorities identified.

Erosion Control StructuresFor erosion control structures, annual inspections are conducted and all data collected is tracked in TRCA’s Erosion Control Database. The information from each inspection is entered into the database and a complete inspection report for each structure is generated. The inspection reports include inventory data such as an identification number, key map, location, structural information, inspection details such as observed deficiencies, photographs and sketches, an assessment of the structure including its general condition and suspected causes of degradation and/or instability, and recommendations for maintenance.

The annual prioritization of maintenance and remedial works is based on the level of risk associated with a structure’s failure or a site’s potential to endanger public safety or existing infrastructure. For example, a retaining wall with no specific function other than maintaining the alignment of a watercourse does not carry the same urgency for maintenance as that of a retaining wall that supports a valley wall. This is because in the event of failure there could potentially be significant risk to life and property. The annual technical review is imperative as it reflects the dynamic nature of erosion and the addition of new sites and structures. It is also imperative as it ensures that any works completed are addressing the most hazardous sites first.

RATIONALEProgram Funding and Cost Sharing AgreementsA funding formula was developed for works carried out on private lands in 1981 (Resolution #71/81). This resolution was revisited in 1998 . At Authority Meeting #4/98, held on May 29, 1998, Resolution #A91/98 was approved as follows:

THAT the policy regarding the contributions by private property owners towards Valley and Shoreline Regeneration works remains unchanged.

This policy is applied as a means of ensuring that the benefiting landowners contribute either financially, or through the transfer of lands, to the cost of the project.

The current policy is as follows:

(a) The Authority will require a minimum of a permanent easement over the private property for the work area and access routes where it has been determined that title to the property is not required. A cash contribution in accordance with the approved scale will also be required;

737

(b) Where the property involved would meet other Authority objectives, title to the lands must be transferred to the Authority as the owner contribution in lieu of a cash contribution;

(c) Where agreement to policy (b) cannot be achieved, the benefiting owner(s) will be assessed 45% of the cost of the works, being the municipal share;

(d) Where works are carried out on Authority-owned land for the protection of private property, the cash contribution will be waived;

(e) In all cases, the Authority will require some form of binding indemnification agreement signed by the benefiting owner(s) which may be registered on title;

(f) The benefiting owner(s) may make representation to the Authority, Executive Committee, or any Advisory Board with regard to any aspect of the erosion control programs in accordance with procedures adopted by Authority Resolution #18/80;

(g) Where required, the cash contribution from the benefiting owner(s) will be based on the following schedules:

OWNER CONTRIBUTION SCHEDULE

ResidentialValue of Works Owner Contribution Maximum

Owner Contribution$ 0 - $15,000 $1,500 + 10% of (Cost – $0) $3,000$15,000 - $30,000 $3,500 + 10% of (Cost –$15,000) $4,500$30,000 - $50,000 $4,500 + 10% of (Cost – $30,000) $6,500$50,000 - $75,000 $6,500 + 10% of (Cost – $50,000) $9,000$75,000 - $100,000 $9,000 + 10% of (Cost – $75,000) $11,500$100,000 and over $11,500 + 10% of (Cost – $100,000) TBD

Commercial / IndustrialValue of Works Owner Contribution Maximum

Owner Contribution$ 0 - $15,000 $2,200 + 15% of (Cost – $0) $4,400$15,000 - $30,000 $4,400 + 15% of (Cost –$15,000) $6,600$30,000 - $50,000 $6,600 + 15% of (Cost – $30,000) $9,600$50,000 - $75,000 $9,600 + 15% of (Cost – $50,000) $13,350$75,000 - $100,000 $13,350 + 15% of (Cost – $75,000) $17,100$100,000 and over $11,500 + 15% of (Cost – $100,000) TBD

The original policy regarding the cost sharing agreement for benefiting landowners was designed to reflect the provincial and municipal funding protocol for the Erosion Monitoring and Maintenance Program whereby 55% of funding was provided by the Province of Ontario, and 45% was provided by the municipalities. This assumed a contribution by the property owner of lands for the erosion work. If a property owner failed to convey lands to TRCA as part of the project, the municipal share of the work was paid by the property owner, ie 45%.

738

Through changes in the provincial mandate and downloading of financial responsibilities to the municipalities over the years, the amount of funding provided directly by the Province has been severely diminished, leaving municipalities to effectively provide 100% of the cost. The policy regarding the cost-sharing formula for benefiting landowners needs to be revised to reflect the fact that the current contributions of municipalities to erosion control projects is 100%.

Therefore, it is recommended that the wording of clause (c) of the policy as set out above be revised such that when a property owner does not convey lands to TRCA, their share of the project will be 100%.

Program ConstraintsThe Erosion Control Monitoring and Maintenance Program is significantly limited in its ability to perform as per the original mandate to undertake major maintenance works on existing erosion control works, to construct new erosion control works, or to provide assistance in high risk erosion sites in a timely manner due to a lack of contingency funding available.

Funding for the program has remained static, while the number of erosion control structures reaching life-expectancy (approximately 25 years) is increasing annually. Staff anticipates that approximately $11,000,000 would be required within the next few years to complete major maintenance on, or replacement of, the aging erosion control infrastructure within TRCA's jurisdiction. This does not include the additional new sites and structures added to the inventory annually. Cost, and risk to life and property, increase with every year that work is delayed.

Based on a recent assessment of future program requirements, it was determined that of the approximately 19,500 metres of erosion protection structures within the valley systems, 6,500 metres require either major maintenance or replacement at an anticipated cost of $6,000,000. Similarly, for the Lake Ontario waterfront within TRCA's jurisdiction, approximately $5,000,000 worth of major maintenance to over 18,000 metres of existing shoreline protection is required.

It is noted that there has been an overall reduction in the number of new developments at risk of erosion as the result of the adoption of the Valley and Stream Corridor Program and updates to Ontario Regulation 166/06 (formerly Ontario Regulation 158) of the Conservation Authorities Act. However, the program is not designed to react in a timely manner to the identification of new extreme erosion hazard sites.

In 2009, a record number of landslides have been reported in the City of Toronto including sites previously not monitored by TRCA as part of the program. Sites of significant risk include; Troutbrooke Drive (Ward 9), Beaucourt Road (Ward 5) and Denison Road West (Ward 11). These sites have incurred significant erosion damage and are at high risk for further loss of land, but have not previously been identified as projects for funding.

739

For 2009, the total program budget is approximately $600,000. Ten (10) major and fifteen (15) minor projects and studies are scheduled to be completed during this year through the program to address erosion and bank instability issues within TRCA's jurisdiction. These projects and studies account for roughly 3% of the over 800 sites and structures actively being monitored by TRCA. Due to the financial constraints on this program, TRCA typically must prioritize work based on risk and phase larger projects over several years, which increases costs and disruption to the affected community. Additionally, due to the budgetary limitation, funding for large-scale projects is often requested as a separate line item in TRCA capital budgets.

CONCLUSIONThe Erosion Control Monitoring and Maintenance Program is an integral part of TRCA’s connection with the municipalities within the jurisdiction. This program allows TRCA to be involved in providing first response aid to urgent situations, which ensures the ongoing integrity of watersheds, and the protection of watersheds and people who reside within.

By revising the existing cost-sharing agreement for benefiting landowners to reflect the current level of funding by the municipalities, this will allow for a clear understanding of the financial obligations of all parties involved in the program.

FINANCIAL DETAILSThe Erosion Control Monitoring and Maintenance Program is funded by the City of Toronto and the regional municipalities of Durham, Peel and York Region. Limited funding is provided by the Province of Ontario on a priority basis from the province-wide ranking of flood and erosion control structures. Additional funding is generated through partnership projects with various municipalities.

AND FURTHER THAT authorized staff be directed to take the action necessary to implement the contract including obtaining any approvals and the signing and execution of documents.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDIn 1995, R.V. Anderson and Associates (RVA) was retained by the City of Toronto to undertake a comprehensive study and provide proposed trail networking options in the East Don Valley system spanning from Milne Hollow (Lawrence Avenue/Don Valley Parkway) to the forks of the Don River. The study was completed in 1997 and resulted in a conceptualized alignment and network of trails servicing the East Don valleylands.

As part of the 2008 sole source projects with the City of Toronto, the city requested that TRCA implement trail planning and design for Phase 1a works in the Milne Hollow/East Don project area including:

preparation of trail network engineering design and construction details; anddesign for a wetland outlet control structure.

In June, 2008, TRCA engaged the services of RVA to complete the Phase 1a trail network engineering design component. This was undertaken in anticipation of construction commencing either later in 2008 or 2009.

The East Don Trail - Phase 1a construction includes a 34 metre prefabricated, self-weathering steel pedestrian footbridge. The construction was given approval to proceed by Resolution #A44/09 at Authority Meeting #3/09, held on April 24, 2009, subject to funding from the City of Toronto as part of the 2009/2010 Natural Environment and Stand Alone sole source projects and completion of the required approval processes.

SECTION II - ITEMS FOR EXECUTIVE ACTION

RES.#B119/09 - ASBESTOS POLICYApproval of the Asbestos Policy for the management of asbestos in Toronto and Region Conservation Authority buildings and facilities.

Moved by: Ron MoeserSeconded by: Colleen Jordan

THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) Asbestos Policy for managing asbestos within TRCA buildings and facilities as outlined in the staff report be approved;

AND FURTHER THAT the Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) be reviewed by staff on a regular basis to ensure that it is in compliance with Ontario Regulation 278/05 and be updated as required.

CARRIED

742

BACKGROUNDAsbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral with excellent insulating and fire-resistant properties that was used extensively in building construction. Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) occur in numerous forms such as adhesives, blown-in (loose fill) insulation, caulking/putties, ceiling tiles, cement pipes, vinyl floor tiles, electric wiring insulation, fireproofing material, HVAC duct insulation, roofing shingles, textured paints and wallboard. Materials containing asbestos are classified as either friable or non-friable. A friable material, such as thermal insulation, is defined as an ACM that when dry can be easily crumbled to powder by hand. Non-friable materials, such as tiles or plasters, cannot be crumbled easily by hand pressure.

The use of asbestos in building materials discontinued in the 1980’s, however asbestos containing materials are still present in numerous buildings constructed prior to this date. The use of ACM is still practiced today, but application is controlled by restrictions and regulations. Since some applications of ACM are still common today, newer construction properties can also be subject to asbestos containing materials.

Medical research recognized health concerns related to asbestos and consequently it has been a regulated substance in Ontario since 1986. There has been a banning of the use of asbestos in most products, strict requirements for the handling and disposal of any asbestos containing material and specific industrial hygiene practices relating to asbestos containing products. These actions are reflected in Ontario Regulation 278/05 which covers the use and treatment of asbestos in buildings, made under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, effective June 8, 2005.

Since a large percentage of TRCA buildings were constructed before the discontinuation of asbestos containing materials, staff conducted a general review of available original architectural diagrams and tender packages. This review resulted in the confirmation of ACM present at some TRCA facilities. It is suspected that other TRCA buildings built prior to the 1980's, may also contain asbestos containing material. The ongoing commitment of TRCA to create a safe and healthy workplace and adhere to Ontario Regulation 278/05 is reflected in the Asbestos Policy.

RATIONALETo comply with Ontario Regulation 278/05 and strengthen protections for employees and visitors, TRCA staff has developed the Asbestos Policy outlined in this staff report, and the associated management plan. It is the objective of TRCA to provide a healthy and safe environment for its staff and for all persons utilizing TRCA property. The main purpose of this policy is to outline the identification, classification, documentation, handling and notification processes for all asbestos containing materials on TRCA properties to ensure a safe environment is provided.

The Asbestos Policy is a management tool used to assist in the control of any activities that may disturb ACM at facilities that are owned or managed by TRCA. The Asbestos Policy is as follows:

Asbestos building material surveys (asbestos survey) will be performed to identify, locate and evaluate materials.Where it is identified, ACM will be inspected at least annually to examine its condition.

743

Employees of TRCA and any contractors who enter a facility and may disturb ACM will be notified of its presence, and appropriate notification and/or training will be provided, prior to performing work.Removal or repair of all friable ACM identified in the asbestos surveys will be completed as soon as possible. Only qualified asbestos removal contractors will perform Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 removal work.Any ACM that may be disturbed during maintenance, renovation or demolition activities at the facilities will be removed prior to these activities. Qualified asbestos removal contractors will perform all Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 removal work.ACM removal or repairs will be monitored to ensure compliance with O. Reg. 278/05.Emergency response and notification procedures in the event of an ACM release have been established.All asbestos records will be maintained and are available at any time.Training for TRCA employees will be provided.

The Asbestos Management Plan (to be made available upon request) is the procedural guidelines developed for staff to administer the policy.

FINANCIAL DETAILSTRCA staff is conducting an inventory of facilities to determine the cost of implementing the policy.

Summary of options for protecting, complying with and satisfying Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) interests and concerns on dispositions of TRCA-owned land to ensure that such land is not used in any manner TRCA considers inappropriate.

Moved by: Ron MoeserSeconded by: Maja Prentice

THAT the staff report dated August 26, 2009 in regard to options to ensure land sold by TRCA is used in a manner that TRCA considers appropriate, be received.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDAt Executive Committee Meeting #5/09, held on July 10, 2009, Resolution #B103/09 was approved as follows:

THAT staff be directed to report back at Executive Committee Meeting #6/09, to be held on August 7, 2009, on how Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) can include a mechanism/covenant to ensure lands sold by TRCA can not be used in any manner that the TRCA considers inappropriate.

Staff delayed this report until this meeting because the August Executive Meeting was a conference call meeting.

RATIONALECurrent Review Process When a request is received to dispose of a parcel of TRCA land, it is circulated to TRCA technical staff for review and comment. If it is determined through this review process that there is a parcel of land that might be sold, it is also reviewed to determine any potential impacts on adjacent TRCA lands. Based on this second part of the review, if potential impacts exist, restrictions are determined to mitigate these potential impacts. These restrictions would be identified in the recommendation to the Executive Committee when the property is being declared surplus, and in the report recommending the sale of the property. If it is determined that a parcel of TRCA land is available for disposal, the local and regional municipalities within which the parcel is located will be circulated to determine if they have any interest in the parcel. If there is no municipal interest, the parcel will be offered for disposal at market value. All disposals must be approved by the Authority.

745

Sales to Private Owners In the past TRCA has used a number of mechanisms/covenants to ensure lands, or interests or easements in or on the lands, sold by TRCA cannot be used in any manner that the TRCA considers inappropriate. These mechanisms may include restricting certain uses on the lands to be sold or give TRCA the right to comment on and/or approve the development on the lands sold by TRCA. The mechanisms used by TRCA have included restrictive covenants registered on title, options to purchase agreements and terms and conditions in the agreements of purchase and sale or undertakings that are to continue after the sale is completed. TRCA can use "conservation easements" pursuant to the Conservation Land Act. Generally, the more restrictive the mechanism, the greater the potential impact on the market value. The following is a brief discussion of each of these mechanisms:

Restrictive Covenants on TitleThis is the most common method used by TRCA in sales to private owners/developers. These sales are typically tableland portions of larger TRCA holdings. The restrictive covenants are placed on the lands being sold to protect the retained land as much as possible from the impacts of the uses contemplated for the lands being sold. The following are a few examples of restrictions used in the past. In the sale of the northeast corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue, City of Vaughan, TRCA: restricted the building height to six stories; did not allow gas station or obnoxious, industrial or commercial uses; the development concept and details were to be compatible with Black Creek Pioneer Village and TRCA had the right to approve the development; requires a mitigation plan for vegetation preservation; and the purchaser must control stormwater quality and quantity. In the sale at the southeast corner of Islington Avenue and Rutherford Road, City of Vaughan, TRCA: restricted the use to single family residential; no stormwater was permitted to enter TRCA's retained lands unless a stormwater management program was implemented to TRCA's satisfaction and purchaser had to use stormwater best management practices. In the sale of a number of residential lots in the Fairport Beach area of the City of Pickering, TRCA: restricted the use to single family residential; and the owners agreed not to oppose the construction of a waterfront park on adjacent TRCA lands.

Option to Purchase AgreementThis gives TRCA the right to buy back the property should the purchaser wish to re-sell and insures TRCA will receive a share of the profit on a resale where a purchaser having bought the property from TRCA, thereafter resells the property for a large profit. These agreements would remain in place for a specific period of time such as 10 or 15 years and may include further refinements to provide for profit sharing on a possible resale.

Conditions in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale/UndertakingsThis method has been used to deal with items such as providing fencing of the boundary and the establishment of vegetated buffer areas on TRCA adjacent lands whereby security is obtained (usually a letter of credit) to ensure the work is completed within stipulated periods of time.

Easements and StrataIn some instances TRCA , rather than conveying property, simply gives an easement over land that permits limited and specified uses. Typically this is used with other public bodies. Also while the use is not common, TRCA may sell a strata of land below the surface and TRCA maintains surface ownership. This is what has been employed in the Motel Strip where a 28.5 metre strata commencing 1.5 metres below the surface is being sold.

746

Conservation Easements – Under the Conservation Land ActGenerally these are most restrictive and only allow conservation and greenspace uses on the property. A conservation easement will have a major impact on land with development potential. To date, TRCA has not had a need to use conservation easements when selling property since this level of protection is generally reserved for properties that contain significant ecological features. TRCA has retained ownership of these type of properties to provide the highest level of protection.

Sales to Public BodiesThis is the conveyance of land to local and regional municipalities and the provincial government for infrastructure projects. Through a review of the project, TRCA staff is able to ensure measures are implemented that mitigate the impact of the project on retained TRCA property. Staff has not found it necessary to impose restrictive covenants in these sales as our municipal and provincial partners have been cooperative in implementing measures to mitigate the impacts of their projects on TRCA lands.

TRCA staff, when considering possible dispositions recognize that restricting uses on lands being sold will impact the price and will attempt to achieve a balance between providing the best possible protection to the adjacent TRCA lands while minimizing the impact on market value.

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONEStaff will continue to apply the foregoing policy with respect to disposal of TRCA lands. Each disposal must be approved by the Authority and staff will continue to carefully highlight conditions of each disposal so that the members are aware of special circumstances.

The proposal consists of installing a prefabricated pedestrian bridge downstream of the existing concrete walkway, re-aligning the asphalt pedestrian pathway to the new pedestrian bridge, removing the existing concrete walkway, gabion baskets, and the concrete apron upstream of the new pedestrian bridge, placing gravel and cobblestone at the location of the previous concrete walkway to restore the stream bed, providing restoration plantings and naturalizing the stream banks upstream of the new pedestrian bridge.

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

Pollution:Standard sediment and erosion controls (silt fence, cofferdams, filterbag or splash pad) will be in place for the duration of construction, and until the site is restored.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable

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

Conservation of Land:With the erosion and sediment controls in effect, the potential for a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice (LOA) will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The banks upstream of the new pedestrian bridge will be naturalized. All construction activity will only be carried out during the warmwater timing window of July 1 to March 31.

PlantingsAll disturbed areas will be restored with native seedmix and native plantings following construction. A net ecological gain will be achieved for this site.

Policy Guidelines:This proposal complies with Section 4.1.2, New Resource-based Uses and Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

750

The purpose is to construct a three bay detached garage within the Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with the Duffins Creek.

The permit will be issued for the period of September 11, 2009 to September 10, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

Drawing No. 115Sk09/1, Site Plan, prepared by Archrival Design, dated July 15, 2009, received by TRCA on July 29, 2009;Drawing No. 115D09R1 Sheets 2 to 5, Elevations, Floor, Roof, Foundation, Loft, Stair and Floor Framing Plans, Sections, prepared by Archrival Design, dated May 2009, Revision No. 1, revised on July 28, 2009, received by TRCA on July 29, 2009;Engineer's Letter from Mr. David Gourley, P.Eng., dated July 26, 2009 and stating that the structure will be able to withstand the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces of the Regional Storm Flood Plain, received by TRCA on July 29, 2009.

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

Proposal:The applicant seeks to construct a 80.5 square metre, three bay, detached garage on his large (0.4 hectare) lot. The lands are adjacent to the Duffins Creek and are within a flood prone portion of the Village East neighbourhood in the City of Pickering (east of Brock Road, south of Kingston Road). This area of Pickering is highly developed despite its location with the Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with the Duffins Creek. As a result of flooding risk and the developed nature of the community, a Special Policy Area designation has been established for the area by the Province of Ontario, City of Pickering and TRCA. The purpose of the Special Policy Designation is to accept the higher level of risk commensurate with relaxed flood plain management policies in order to allow expansions and improvements to the existing development. Developments must, however, meet the minimum floodproofing standard of the 350 year flood level.

Control of Flooding:The garage will be built within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, which will have a negligible impact upon the storage and conveyance of flood waters. TRCA staff have confirmed that the finished floor elevation of the garage will be above the 350 year flood elevation to provide a satisfactory level of flood protection to the structure. There are to be no habitable areas within the garage. The garage will not be heated or insulated.

Pollution:The garage has been sited away from the Duffins Creek, which is separated by the existing residence. Due to this separation, there have been no requirements for sediment and erosion controls as part of this proposal. No sedimentation of the creek is anticipated as a result of the proposed works.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable

751

Erosion:There are no slope stability or geotechnical concerns with the project.

Conservation of Land:The garage has been sited within an area that is currently a manicured lawn. No natural heritage features are to be disturbed as part of this proposal.

PlantingsAs no vegetation is to be removed for the garage construction, no plantings were required by TRCA staff.

Policy Guidelines:This proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.1 B, Development Guidelines for Development/Redevelopment within Designated Two Zone Areas or Special Policy Areas, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

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

Proposal:The proposal is to regrade, install stormwater infrastructure including sewers, erosion control and an outfall to Mimico Creek, install a temporary retaining wall, and restore the site with temporary seeding in order to facilitate the construction of a multi-storey residential condominium building and underground parking. The site is referred to as the South Beach Condominiums and is located on the west side of Parklawn Road, south of the Queen Elizabeth Way and north of Lake Shore Boulevard West. The western portion of the property is within the Mimico Creek valley and is currently developed up to the top of bank with deteriorated retaining structures and paved parking. The project has been subject to extensive review through the City of Toronto Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment process, and the subsequent Site Plan review process.

The redevelopment of the site will provide for: 1) removal of asphalt and deteriorated retaining walls in the valley; 2) the regrading of the slope to a more natural stable gradient; 3) restoration of the appropriate 10 metre buffer from the stable top of bank to accommodate a portion of the future proposed Mimico Creek trail link; and 4) water quality and quantity controls. The temporary retaining wall is required to retain the final grades up against the adjacent private property to the south which is not at this time subject to a development proposal. TRCA staff are currently working with the City of Toronto to complete the design of the lower portions of the Mimico Creek Trail. The trail link through the site can only be built upon completion of the design and the redevelopment of the remaining sites along the west side of Parklawn Road. Once the trail is ready for implementation, the temporary retaining wall can be removed and regrading of the South Beach site and the private property to the south can take place along with the installation of the trail and final plantings. A letter of credit for these works has been given to the City of Toronto to guarantee the works will take place in the future.

753

Conditional Permit:Modifications to Mimico Creek using natural channel design is required in order to provide for the appropriate erosion control, renaturalized buffers, future trail works, and ultimately facilitate the redevelopment of the site. However, as the creek modifications are primarily located on adjacent CN Rail and City of Toronto lands, these works will be the subject of a future TRCA permit application upon final approval by the landowners. The detailed design of the natural channel works has been reviewed by TRCA staff and a letter of credit for these works will be given to the City of Toronto to guarantee the works will take place. The issuance of this permit is conditional upon receipt of the letter of credit.

Control of Flooding:The only portion of the works located within the Regional Storm Floodplain is the proposed stormwater outfall. The outfall will have no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters.

Pollution:Temporary sediment control has been provided per the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area Conservation Authorities, Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable.

Erosion:Temporary erosion control has been provided per the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area Conservation Authorities, Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction. The existing slope will be regraded to a more natural stable gradient and therefore there are no geotechnical issues with the proposal.

Conservation of Land:The proposal will result in a return of a portion of the valley to a more natural state. The proposed building and underground parking are set back in excess of 10 metres from the stable top of bank. Vegetation removals are limited to non-native species.

PlantingsUntil the design of the trail is completed and a final landscaping plan can be implemented, the restoration plantings will be limited to a native seed mix to stabilize the restored slope. The final landscaping plan approved as part of the Site Plan can be implemented in the future when conditions allow for the trail to be installed and the temporary retaining wall removed. The approved plan includes native seed mix, shrubs and trees.

Policy Guidelines:The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2., Development within Non-Established/Highly Urbanized Areas, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

EX10.23 ENBRIDGE PIPELINES INC. - EASEMENTTo temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere and alter a watercourse on Lot 12, Concession 4 Lot 12, Plan PIN: 060530044, (450 m West of Intersection of Seasons Drive and Staines Road (Enbridge MP 1929.9 MB), in the City of Toronto (Scarborough Community Council Area), Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Enbridge Pipelines Inc. - Easement.

The purpose is to install a temporary emergency protection of an existing Enbridge 30-inch oil pipeline crossing the Rouge River. It is estimated that the pipeline was exposed in the Rouge River sometime during the Winter of 2009. The location/point of exposure of this pipeline is approximately 450 m east of the intersection of Seasons Drive and Staines Road in Sarborough, City of Toronto; in the west bank and adjacent river bed. The partially exposed section of the pipeline is approximately 6m in length and extends above the baseline of the waterline of the River. Enbridge is proposing to install an articulated concrete mat or blanket approximately 2.5 m wide and 7 m in length over the exposed section of the pipeline. The mat thickness is approximately 6 inches (15cm) and will be pinned to the streambed and bank using 4 to 6 pins or T-Bars to prevent movement. TRCA staff will prepare a Letter of Advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for the proposed work.

The permit will be issued for the period of August 5, 2009 to September 20, 2009 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

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

Proposal:Enbridge is proposing to install an articulated concrete mat or blanket approximately 2.5 m wide and 7 m in length over the exposed section of the pipeline. The mat thickness is approximately 6 inches (15cm) and will be pinned to the streambed and bank using 4 to 6 pins or T-Bars to prevent movement. It is estimated that the pipeline was exposed in the Rouge River sometime during the Winter of 2009. In keeping with regulatory requirements associated with the National Energy Board (NEB) Act, Enbridge is required to remediate this exposure.

According to Enbridge, the first step toward remediation is to provide temporary protection to the exposed section of the pipeline while long term, permanent remediation design is being formulated. The concrete blanket will be underlain with a layer of geotextile . It is expected that the mat will protect the pipeline from large saltating rock and floating debris that moves down the channel. Installation is expected to take 1 - 2 days to complete. Access to the exposed pipeline will be via Littles Road and Passmore Avenue. From the intersection of Littles Road and Passmore Avenue, Enbridge will proceed southwards for approximately 550 m using the existing City of Toronto road allowance to the Hydro corridor/ easement and westwards to the River banks. All equipment will be removed from the site once this work is finished. Temporary storage of construction materials will occur at the top of the slope (15m form the waters edge) within the Hydro and Enbridge easements. No equipment or materials will be left in the River channel overnight.

Control of Flooding:The proposed works are located within the Regional storm floodplain, no impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated.

Pollution:Standard erosion control measures will be implemented prior to construction commencement and maintained during the project to prevent the deposition of sediments into the watercourse. All grades within the Regional Storm Floodplain will be maintained.

791

The purpose is to excavate and place fill (to remove the existing concrete headwall and rip rap outfall channel; to install a headwall, man hole, storm sewers, rip rap lined outlet pool to dissipate energy; to remove deposited sediments from base of existing 1050 mm culvert; to install clean fill to repair erosion scar and to landscape outlet) in a Regulated Area; to temporarily alter a watercourse ( tributary of the East Don River) during the Redside dace coldwater timing window through a coffer dam method in order to work in the dry for removal of sediments in the existing watercourse channel and to facilitate an outfall re-construction. A Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for this project.

The permit will be issued for the period of September 11, 2009 to September 10, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

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

Proposal:A site visit from TRCA’s Ecology staff in June 2009 identified a large erosion scar in association with a stormwater outfall located on the east side of Dufferin Street approximately 150 metres north of Marc Santi Boulevard in the City of Vaughan between Major Mackenzie Drive and Rutherford Road. It is surmised that the source of the erosion problem rests with the velocity associated with the flows exiting this outfall. Because this watercourse has been identified as hosting redside dace, the proposed works were deemed to be an emergency and this file proceeded through the emergency works process. An Emergency Works Authorization letter was issued on July 24, 2009 which enabled the Regional Municipality of York to tender the project and subsequently award the tender on August 26, 2009. The in water works will be completed prior to the timing window closing on September 15, 2009. In order to address the erosion issue, the proposal involves removing the existing concrete headwall and rip rap outfall channel; installing a new headwall and man hole; installing storm sewers at a slope of 0.7% in order to slow down the velocity; installing a rip rap lined outlet pool to dissipate energy; removing deposited sediments from the watercourse channel at the base of existing 1050 mm culvert; and installing clean fill to repair the erosion scar and to landscape the outlet.

792

Control of Flooding:The subject site is not located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, therefore there will not be any impacts to flooding. Sediments will be removed from the existing bed of the watercourse, therefore, stream flows will return to normal pre-erosion conditions.

Pollution:Standard erosion control measures (silt fence, pea gravel coffer dams, conduits, splash pads, erosion blankets) will be implemented to ensure that the construction-generated sediments do not enter the watercourse

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable

Erosion:The current proposal is designed to address the existing erosion situation.

Conservation of Land:There will be temporary in stream works associated with this project. TRCA staff has noted to the proponent that the watercourse has been identified as Redside dace habitat and with the recent uplisting of this fish under the Ontario Endangered Species Act in February 2009 an that approval from the Ministry of Natural Resources may be required. The Ministry of Natural Resources provided their sign off letter on August 31, 2009 stating that no permit was required. The watercourse will be altered temporarily with a dam and pump in order to work in the dry to facilitate sediment removals and outfall reconstruction. With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, and with the in water works being conducted during the coldwater (July 1 to September 15) timing window, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The proposed work will impact no significant terrestrial resource features.

The location of the proposed work is within the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) and Greenbelt. Where a project is located within the ORM and the Greenbelt, the ORM legislation prevails. The proponent has advised in writing how the project will adhere to the Infrastructure and Servicing sections of the ORM legislation as indicated in Section 41, Subsection 5. This project has been reviewed under Ontario Regulation 166/06 and under the Fisheries Act for the tests and best management practices.

PlantingsAll disturbed areas will be restored with native/non-invasive species following construction.

Policy Guidelines:The proposal complies with Section 4.3 - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The existing frame garage structure is located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. The proposed 89 square metre structure is to be sited further away from the Carruthers Creek but is to remain partially within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. This is primarily due to the low lying nature of the lands at the lake shore. Approximately 1/3 of the structure is proposed within the flood plain based upon current our current flood plain mapping.

Control of Flooding:The proposal will remove the existing garage from the flood plain through demolition. The new garage, at 89 square metres, is to be partially sited in the Regional Storm Flood Plain. This scale of development will have a negligible impact upon the storage and conveyance of flood waters.

Pollution:The owner has agreed to provide for sediment and erosion controls during construction of the new garage in order to detain any sediment during excavation and construction.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable

Erosion:There are no geotechnical or slope stability concerns with this proposal.

Conservation of Land:No significant natural heritage features will be removed as part of this proposal. Disturbed areas are to be stabilized with the placement of sod.

PlantingsGiven the scale and scope of this proposal, no plantings have been made a requirement of this permit.

Policy Guidelines:This proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 E), Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

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

Proposal:This proposal was previously approved by the Executive Committee at its meeting on July 24, 2006. However since that time the Town of Richmond Hill has not proceeded with the project. The Town has exhausted all opportunities to extend the original permit approval pursuant to the provisions of the Conservation Authorities Act and Ontario Regulation 166/06. The Town has therefore made a new application for the previously approved proposal in order to obtain a new permit for the proposed works. There have been no substantive changes to the proposal from the time of the July 24, 2006 approval by the Executive Committee.

The Town of Richmond Hill, Parks, Recreation and Culture Department seeks to place fill as part of landscape and trail improvements and renovate the historic Foster House. Both activities are to be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with a tributary to the Rouge River. The Phyllis Rawlinson Park is an outdoor recreation and interpretive park located on the east side of Leslie Street south of Stouffville Road in the northeastern portion of the town. The park contains several buildings of heritage significance. The town is seeking to improve the park by restoring the heritage buildings and providing additional landscaping and pathways. Portions of the heritage buildings are adjacent to a watercourse which traverses the eastern portion of the parklands.

Control of Flooding:The proposed placement of fill is minimal and will have a negligible impact on the control and storage of flood waters. An existing wooden bridge structure and debris is to be removed from the adjacent watercourse which will help to remove impediments to flood flows.

Pollution:Erosion and sediment control plans have been prepared which adequately separate areas to be disturbed from the watercourse to prevent sedimentation.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable

Erosion:There are no geotechnical or slope stability concerns with the proposal.

Conservation of Land:All areas to be disturbed during construction are to be stabilized. Plantings of native trees and shrubs are to take place as part of this proposal. This proposal is not located in an area with significant natural heritage features. In-water works will not be required for this proposal. Staff will issue a letter of advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) with this permit, as a DFO authorization pursuant to the Fisheries Act (Canada) was not required.

PlantingsPlanting plans have been incorporated as part of this proposal, which have been reviewed by TRCA staff.

The purpose is to construct a gravel parking lot and stormwater management works within a Regulated Area associated with a wetland.

The permit will be issued for the period of September 11, 2009 to September 10, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

Letter Report, Prepared by SCS Consulting Group Ltd., dated February 25, 2009, received by TRCA on July 23, 2009;Figure 1, Limit of Development, Prepared by SCS Consulting Group Ltd., dated December 2008, received by TRCA on July 23, 2009;Drawing No. 101, Grading/Erosion & Sedimentation Control Plan, prepared by SCS Consulting Group Ltd., dated May 2009, received by TRCA on July 23, 2009;Drawing No. 901, Details, prepared by SCS Consulting Group Ltd., dated October 2008, received by TRCA on July 23, 2009;Sheet V-1, Rehabilitation Plan, prepared by Oakridge Environmental Limited, dated July 2009, received by TRCA on July 23, 2009.

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

Proposal:This proposal was considered and approved at the August 7, 2009 Executive Committee meeting with the owner of the lands being D. Crupi & Sons Limited. Subsequent to the committee's approval, the applicant has informed staff that the wrong corporate name was placed on the application form. The correct owner of the lands is the numbered company 2112356 Ontario Limited. This report is presented to allow for a new approval of the application under the correct ownership.

801

The applicant seeks permission to construct a 1.45 hectare gravel parking lot within a Regulated Area associated with a wetland. The lands are located north of the Community of Stouffville on the east side of the Ninth Line on the Oak Ridges Moraine. The area proposed for the parking lot is currently an agricultural field. The wetland is located to the east of the proposed parking area and is part of a tributary of the Rouge River.

As TRCA regulates an area of 120 metres around wetlands on the Oak Ridges Moraine pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06, a permit is required for the portion of the parking lot within the 120 metre radius. Through a site visit, TRCA staff determined the boundary of the wetland. In accordance with the requirements of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, a 30 metre buffer is proposed between the wetland boundary and the limit of the parking lot.

Control of Flooding:The applicant provided flood plain mapping for the Rouge River Tributary adjacent to the site. The proposed works are outside of the flood plain. Therefore, the storage and conveyance of flood waters will not be affected by the proposal. Two swales, enhanced with vegetation, are to be provided to capture, store and treat stormwater run-off from the parking lot prior to discharge to the watercourse.

Pollution:Sediment and erosion control measures are proposed on the plans to ensure that the adjacent wetland and watercourse are protected from sedimentation during the construction phase of works.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable

Erosion:There are no geotechnical or slope stability concerns associated with the proposal.

Conservation of Land:No significant natural heritage features are to be removed as part of this proposal, as the current condition of the proposed parking lot area is an agricultural field. The nearby wetland and watercourse will be protected in the long-term by a proposed 30 metre buffer. A vegetated stormwater management system will direct parking lot run-off to the watercourse. Staff will issue a Letter of Advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) with this permit, as DFO Authorization pursuant to the Fisheries Act (Canada) was not required. All disturbed areas are to be stabilized following construction.

PlantingsFollowing construction, the stormwater management system and portions of the 30 metre buffer are to be planted in accordance with a restoration plan prepared as part of this permit proposal.

Policy Guidelines:This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program and Subsection 22 (2) of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan.

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

Proposal:The proposal consists of constructing a new home within a Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed. This property is located on the Oak Ridges Moraine within the headwaters of the Bruce Creek. The subject property is an existing lot within a registered plan of subdivision that has been zoned for residential uses. The residential zoning was enacted in 1987 and the lot registered in 2003, well in advance of today's more rigorous planning requirements. Prior to Registration, TRCA staff reviewed the Draft Plan of Subdivision, and negotiated development setbacks with the developer. As a result the northern and eastern portion of the lot contains a valleyland and a watercourse, portions of which are zoned Open Space Environmental. Further, approximately one half of the lot is wooded and the entire lot is within an area of wetland interference. The north west corner of the lot is located within an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest.

The majority of the proposed works will be located on a portion of the lot that has been cleared, and all works will be located no less than 2 metres from the drip-line of vegetation and the top of the slope, as staked by the TRCA prior to the registration of the subdivision in 2003.

Control of Flooding:The rear portion of the lot is within a flood plain associated with the nearby Bruce Creek, as determined by a flood study submitted by the applicant and reviewed by TRCA staff. The applicant has prepared plans that provide floodproofing to the proposed home at an elevation of 273.24 to the satisfaction of staff.

Pollution:Sediment and erosion control fencing will be erected and maintained throughout construction activities.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable.

Erosion:There are no geotechnical concerns with the proposed works.

Conservation of Land:Most of the proposed works will be located within the portion of the property that has been cleared, however some vegetation that has re-established itself since 2003 will be removed.

PlantingsNo plantings are required as a part of this permit.

806

Policy Guidelines:The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.2.2. G) - Infilling - of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

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

Proposal:The purpose is to construct an addition to an existing dwelling within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. The majority of the subject property is located within the East Humber River valley corridor and a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) which forms a part of the Eaton Hall-Mary-Hackett Lakes Wetland Complex is directly adjacent to the rear property boundary.

807

The existing dwelling is approximately 5 metres from the existing top-of-slope of a 3H : 1V slope feature which forms a part of the tiered and gently sloped valley wall. The upper tier of the slope is devoid of significant vegetation and is maintained as a manicured lawn area. A small portion of the proposed addition results in a minor encroachment towards the existing top-of-slope and results in an approximate 1.4 metre setback from the existing top-of-slope. A Slope Stability Assessment prepared by Haddad Geotechnical Inc., dated July 31, 2009, determined that the existing top-of-slope can be considered the long-term-stable-top-of-slope.

Based upon the Slope Stability Assessment and the existing already disturbed nature of the mild and shallow slope feature, TRCA Geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed works will not impact the stability of the slope.

A portion of the rear yard which is currently sodded will be restored with native, non-invasive plantings to create an enhanced buffer between the forested portion of the property and the residential uses.

Control of Flooding:The proposed works are not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, there will be no impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood waters.

Pollution:Sediment control fencing will be erected and maintained to prevent the transport of sediment into the valley system.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable.

Erosion:TRCA Geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed works are sufficiently setback from the stable-top-of-slope and will not impact the stability of the slope feature.

Conservation of Land:As a watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. There are no other significant natural features on or adjacent to the site that may be negatively impacted by the project.

PlantingsA portion of the rear yard which is currently sodded will be restored with native, non-invasive plantings to create an enhanced buffer between the forested portion of the property and the residential uses and will result in a net ecological gain.

Policy Guidelines:The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 c) - Minor Additions - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

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

Proposal:The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed in order to facilitate the restoration of a watercourse located at 10747 Bayview Avenue. The watercourse that traverses the subject property from north to south, has historically been hardened through channelization works. In addition, the placement of fill within the valley corridor through past construction activities has reduced the ecological form and function of the watercourse feature through this reach of the Rouge River Watershed.

845

This proposal involves the renaturalization of the channel corridor through the creation of naturalized pool/riffle sequences, consistent with current/progressive fluvial geomorphic standards. In addition, the historic fill and nursery material is to be removed through this project and the valley banks are to be restored with native and non-invasive plant species consistent with our guidelines. In an effort to minimize the potential for deleterious substances from entering the watercourse feature, the channel restoration works will be isolated and watercourse flows will be diverted through dam and pump method until the newly restored channel is stabilized and planted. These works are to be completed prior to the future residential development on the east and west portions of the property and will provide a significant ecological net gain over the existing conditions. An extensive planting plan is proposed with this project within the valley corridor in order to achieve a net ecological gain with this application. In addition, there are no flooding, geotechnical, or hydrogeological concerns anticipated with this application.

Control of Flooding:TRCA staff are confident that the proposed channel works will not impact the conveyance and storage of floodwaters. In fact, it is anticipated that the proposed works will reduce/improve flooding conditions for this reach of the Rouge River Watershed.

Pollution:Enhanced sediment and erosion control measures will be implemented for the duration of construction, and until the new channel is stabilized, in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse. In addition, an environmental monitor/geomorphologist will be onsite during all phases of construction for the restored channel.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable.

Erosion:The new channel being created is being designed in accordance with TRCA's natural channel design requirements. No geotechnical/slope stability issues are anticipated with this project. As well, a monitoring program completed in accordance with TRCA requirements is included in this proposal.

Conservation of Land:With appropriate 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 (LOA) will be issued with this permit on behalf of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). This tributary has been classified as redside dace habitat by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). In accordance with the Endangered Species Act, a separate permit is required from the MNR. As a result of the presence of redside dace habitat, all in or near water works are subject to the cold water timing window and must be completed between July 1 and September 15.

PlantingsAll proposed plantings will be native and non-invasive consistent with TRCA's guidelines.

846

Policy Guidelines:This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

EX10.70 9 WILDERNESS TRAILTo construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure on Plan 65M-2841, (9 Wilderness Trail), in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, Rouge River Watershed.

The purpose is to permit installation of a culvert and driveway across a tributary of the Rouge River, and construction of a new residential dwelling.

The permit will be issued for the period of September 11, 2009 to September 10, 2011.

Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Vitaly Kurdyumov, dated September 8, 2009, to address outstanding ecology concerns related to: erosion and sediment control measures, tree planting, watercourse bypass measures, and fisheries timing information.

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

Proposal:The applicant is proposing the installation of a culvert and driveway across a tributary of the Rouge River, and construction of a new residential dwelling at 9 Wilderness Trail, north of Bethesda Road, east of Woodbine Avenue, within a regulated area of the Rouge River watershed. The site is located in an Environmentally Significant Area (ESA), contains a tributary of the Rouge River (Bruce Creek), and is within an Oak Ridges Moraine Natural Linkage area. The lot was created prior to today's more rigorous environmental controls and the adoption of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP). Notwithstanding these regulatory controls, the construction of a single dwelling is permitted.

850

Through consultation with TRCA, the applicant has designed the structure and associated driveway/culvert to best minimize the impacts to the surrounding natural heritage features and watercourse. An extensive review of potential impacts to the surrounding environment was undertaken through the Natural Heritage Evaluation and Hydraulic Analysis that was completed in order to ensure that the objectives of the ORMCP were achieved.

Control of Flooding:The dwelling is located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain, and the culvert has been sized in order to prevent any adverse impacts to the conveyance and storage of floodwaters.

Pollution:Appropriate sediment control fencing is to be installed as required by TRCA. The sediment and erosion control fencing will totally enclose the area of disturbance and will prevent the escape of construction debris and sediment run-off into the adjacent ESA areas, wetlands, and watercourse.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable

Erosion:The proposed dwelling is located an appropriate distance from any major grade changes and the watercourse crossing has been designed to convey flood waters up to and including the Regional Storm, and will therefore not negatively affect slope stability or create additional erosion hazards.

Conservation of Land:Through consultation with TRCA, the applicant has demonstrated in the most recent Natural Heritage Evaluation, as required by the ORMCP that: The area of disturbance (including installation of the septic system) has been minimized to the extent possible; that the vegetation removals are restricted to invasive species and those within the approved limit of development and will not impact the 'significance' of the remaining woodlot; tree protection fencing will be installed to protect the remaining vegetation; and sediment and erosion control fencing will be installed and maintained throughout construction until stabilization has been completed. The watercourse is subject to a cold-water timing window, and a letter of advice on behalf of Fisheries and Ocean Canada (DFO) will be issued for all in-water works.

PlantingsThe applicant has proposed a robust edge restoration plan that includes the planting of over 350 native trees and shrubs to restore the disturbed areas, as well as a two-year monitoring program to ensure the vitality of the restored areas.

Policy Guidelines:This proposal is consistent with Section 4.1.1 - Development Guidelines for New Development of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

AND BAY-YONGE CUSTOM BUILDERS INC.To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere on Lot 8, Concession 10, (Clarkway Drive), in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by and Bay-Yonge Custom Builders Inc. Berkshire Glade Estates Inc.

The purpose is to site grade within a Regulated area to facilitate topsoil stripping, earth works and temporary stormwater management works associated with a proposed residential plan of subdivision.

The permit will be issued for the period of September 11, 2009 to September 10, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

Letter of undertaking provided by Michael Oldham, MMM Group, dated September 9, 2009, to address all outstanding TRCA issues, prior to the issuance of the permit.

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

Proposal:The applicant is requesting permission to strip topsoil, initiate earthworks and interim servicing associated with a proposed residential plan of subdivision located west of Clarkway Drive, south of Castlemore Road, in the City of Brampton.

The subject property is located within the Bram East Area 'F' 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 Brampton's Growth Management program, a number of proposed subdivisions within Phase 1 of this Block Plan area have been given development allotment, and are being given draft approval by the City. TRCA staff have provided conditions of approval for these subdivisions. Additionally, the TRCA Executive Committee has approved permits for topsoil stripping works, and permanent stormwater management works on the majority of the other developments within this Block Plan, including the adjacent properties.

861

The property is traversed by the Clarkway Tributary of the Humber River. Adjacent tableland areas - which are to be developed as part of the proposed residential subdivision - are Regulated by the TRCA. This permit is to allow for grading and initial servicing works (to include temporary stormwater management measures) within the Regulated tableland areas, as well as initial stormwater servicing works within the valley corridor. . As only small portions of the subject property are Regulated by the TRCA (areas directly adjacent Clarkway Tributary) grading works are presently underway on portions of the property that are not Regulated by the TRCA.

The works proposed under this permit constitute the first phase of works on this property, and the first of several permits that will be required for works on the subject property. Additional permits will be brought forward to a future Executive Committee meeting for permanent stormwater management works within this Block Plan area, as well as proposed cut and fill works, once the outstanding comments and concerns of TRCA staff have been adequately addressed.

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

Pollution:Appropriate sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained on the subject property during all phases of construction.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable

Erosion:There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns anticipated with this project.

Conservation of Land:No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. Although there are no fisheries related concerns associated with this proposal, a Letter of Advice will be provided on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada as a temporary stormwater management outfall is to be constructed.

PlantingsA comprehensive planting plan is to be provided, and implemented as a condition of the approval of this subdivision. As a coordinated plan is still being developed for all of the subdivisions within this Block Plan that are traversed by the Clarkway Tributary, details on the proposed plantings cannot be provided at this time. Additional details will be provided in subsequent permits for this Block Plan.

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).

EX10.106 EMPIRE COMMUNITIES INCTo construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere on Part Lot 370, Plan RP 164, (2230 Lakeshore Boulevard West), in the City of Toronto (Etobicoke York Community Council Area), Mimico Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by Empire Communities Inc.

The purpose is to excavate and install shoring to facilitate the first phase of construction of an underground parking garage and foundation for a multi-storey mixed use development.

The permit will be issued for the period of September 11, 2009 to September 10, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

Drawing No. ESC, Construction Management, Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, prepared by Al Underhill Associates Ltd., dated March 2009, received September 4, 2009, redlined by TRCA staff;Drawing SH-1, Shoring Plan, Schedule Detail and General Notes, prepared by Tarra Engineering Inc., stamped October 15, 2008, received September 4, 2009;Drawing SH-2, Sections, prepared by Tarra Engineering Inc., stamped October 15, 2008, received September 4, 2009.

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

Proposal:The proposal is to excavate and install foundation shoring to facilitate the first phase of construction of a mixed use development referred to as the Empire "Star" Tower. The subject property is located on the north side of Lake Shore Boulevard West, east of Legion Road, west of Mimico Creek and south of the City-owned recently demolished "Bonar" treatment facility site. The "Bonar" site is currently subject to an on-going Environmental Assessment to identify a preferred alternative for a water quality treatment facility and recreation uses. The mixed use development (not part of this permit) is subject to on-going City of Toronto and TRCA review and approvals. The subject property is appropriately zoned for the use, was until recently developed with an one storey shopping centre, and is located adjacent to the spill area of the Mimico Creek floodplain. The zoning approval was based upon a comprehensive flood remediation program approved by TRCA staff that would remove adjacent sites from the spill area. The adjacent site, referred to as the Empire "by the Sea" development, is subject to TRCA permit C-08456 for similar shoring and excavation. The review of the proposed mixed use development has included a further detailed comprehensive flood remediation plan and this

863

plan includes detailed grading for the subject property, Legion Road and a portion of the "Bonar" site in order to remove the Empire by the Sea development from the spill area. This plan has been substantially approved by TRCA staff. However, the proposed flood remediation works need to be secured prior to moving forward with the permit for the mixed use development. TRCA staff is comfortable that the approval of this permit for excavation and shoring will not compromise any further TRCA permit applications or City approvals, both of which are imminent, and will be consistent with City's excavation and shoring permit. The development of the foundations and remainder of the mixed use development, as well the development of the flood remediation works will be subject to a separate TRCA permit at a later date.

Control of Flooding:The proposal for excavation and installation of foundation shoring is not located in the regional storm floodplain. As such, the proposal will have no impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters.

Pollution:Temporary erosion control has been provided per the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area Conservation Authorities, Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction. There are no geotechnical issues with the proposal as the shoring is sufficiently set back from the stable top of bank.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable.

Erosion:The subject property is in immediate proximity to Lake Ontario and erosion of the watercourse is not of concern.

Conservation of Land:The subject property was, until recently, fully developed with a shopping centre in an urban context. The proposal will have no impact on the conservation of land.

PlantingsOff site renaturalization has been secured by the City of Toronto.

Policy Guidelines:The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2., Development within Non-Established/Highly Urbanized Areas, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to install a stormwater outfall, plunge pool and wetland; decommission seven existing stormwater outfalls; and restore the site with native seed mix, shrubs and trees.

The permit will be issued for the period of September 11, 2009 to September 10, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit:

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

Proposal:The Sanofi Pasteur Connaught Campus is located in the City of Toronto between Bathurst Street and Dufferin Street. The campus is bounded to the west by the West Don River Valley corridor, to the north by Steeles Avenue West, to the south by the lands of G. Ross Lord Park and to the east by existing residential properties. The site has a total area of 21 hectares. Sanofi Pasteur uses the campus for the production of vaccines.

865

Sanofi Pasteur has prepared a master storm water management report to identify the quality and quantity impacts of the change in storm water run-off on existing infrastructure and watercourses as result of new buildings/additions currently under construction as well as future re-development of the south end of the property. The improvements to the storm water system include a new run-off collection and discharge system. The installation of a new storm sewer line below the internal road surface of Wilson Trail, two new oil grit separators and an underground storm water management facility on the lands owned by Sanofi Pasteur were approved by the Executive Committee on August 7, 2009 (Application No. 0100/09/TOR). The subject of this permit is the construction of a new storm outlet and plunge pool and wetland on lands owned by TRCA and managed by the City of Toronto. The proposed stormwater system would reduce the number of stormwater outfalls to the valley lands and will provide treatment of run-off before discharge into the West Don River. The existing seven outfalls will be plugged and abandoned and the surrounding areas restored with native vegetation. The existing storm outfalls to be decommissioned have over the years contributed to soil erosion and slope instability along the valley wall. The decommissioning of existing outfalls and the restoration of the slope will result in a net environmental gain to the West Don River Valley corridor.

Conditional Permit:The applicant has been advised to secure an easement agreement between the City of Toronto and TRCA for the proposed outfall and plunge pool/wetland area. The issuance of this permit is conditional upon the applicant receiving approval of the easement by the TRCA Authority Board.

Control of Flooding:A portion of the proposed works including the new outfall, plunge pool and wetland will be located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, however these works will not affect the storage or conveyance of flood waters.

Pollution:Silt fencing will be secured around all construction areas to prevent the migration of construction generated sediment into the water course.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable.

Erosion:There are no geotechnical issues with the proposed works.

Conservation of Land:All filled and disturbed areas will be stabilized and revegetated following construction. No significant resource features will be impacted by the proposed works. A letter of advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

PlantingsNew plantings of native trees and shrubs will occur on the publicly owned valley lands.

Policy Guidelines:The proposal is consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Proposal:The purpose is to construct a second floor mezzanine and thereby increase the floor area in an existing commercial building within a Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed. The existing commercial building is partially located within the flood fringe of the Regional Storm Flood Plain.

As the Regional Flood Elevation on the property is 208.11 metres above sea level (m.a.s.l.) and the existing building's finished floor elevation is 209.55 m.a.s.l., the existing building is already floodproofed. The proposed mezzanine floor is entirely within the already constructed building shell and does not result in a change to the existing building footprint or height. The proposed works will not have an impact on the storage or conveyance of flood waters.

Control of Flooding:Although the proposed addition is located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, the addition is entirely within an existing building which is already floodproofed. There will be no impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood waters.

Pollution:There are no pollution issues associated with this application.

Dynamic Beaches:Not applicable.

Erosion:There are no geotechnical issues associated with this application.

Conservation of Land:As a watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. There are no other significant natural feature on or adjacent to the site that may be negatively impacted by the project.
