36 TO: FROM: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #7/10, September 10, 2010 Carolyn Woodland, Director, Planning and Development Item EX7.1 RE: HEARING REPORT Application #0465/10/MISS to temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material originating on the site or elsewhere within a Regulated Area of the Etobicoke Creek Watershed Ontario Khalsa Darbar Inc., 7080 Dixie Road, City of Mississauga KEY ISSUE The owners of 7080 Dixie Road have applied to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), under Ontario Regulation 166/06, to develop within a Regulated Area to recognize the unauthorized placement of approximately 10,360 cubic metres of fill. The works were completed without obtaining approval under Ontario Regulation 166/06. RECOMMENDATION THAT Application #0465/10/MISS to develop within a Regulated Area of the Etobicoke Creek watershed to recognize the recent placement of 10,360 cubic metres of fill at the property municipally known as 7080 Dixie Road, in the City of Mississauga be refused as it adversely impacts the control of flooding. BACKGROUND This application has been submitted for approval of works after-the-fact. The applicant is presently seeking permission to retain the fill (approximately 10,360 cubic metres of fill) that has recently been placed on the subject property within the Regulatory Floodplain of Etobicoke Creek TRCA Enforcement staff observed the filling on the subject property, adjacent to the Etobicoke Creek on October 13, TRCA Enforcement staff subsequently issued a notice of violation on October 16, 2009, as the required permits (pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06) had not been attained from TRCA. The owners were subsequently charged under the Conservation Authorities Act for the unlawful placement of fill without attaining a permit from TRCA, and legal proceedings in the form of charges before District Court commenced August 24, This matter is anticipated to be proceeding through the courts in the fall of Violation notices and charges under the Conservation Authorities Act have previously been issued on this property to the same owners as a result of previous filling activity and watercourse alterations in another section of the river corridor on the property. Following the enforcement notices, TRCA staff received a permit application and associated materials on January 14, 2010 to regularize the prior placement of approximately 10,360 cubic metres of fill on the site. 36

37 As a result of the adverse impacts to the control of flooding (detailed further below) TRCA staff cannot support this permit application. In the case of the proposal for approval of works after-the-fact for 7080 Dixie Road, TRCA staff concludes that the control of flooding has been adversely affected. Before refusing permission, TRCA must hold a Hearing to which the applicant and other interested persons are a party (Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C.27-28(12)). The applicants have requested such a hearing before the TRCA Hearing Board. PROPERTY LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The subject property is located on the west side of Dixie Road, north of Derry Road, and is traversed by the main West Branch of Etobicoke Creek. The subject property is surrounded by employment lands, just west of the Lester B. Pearson International Airport, in the City of Mississauga. The south portion of the property contains an existing temple facility and associated parking lot and recreational field. The north portions of the parking lot and temple are within TRCA's Regulated Area adjacent to the Etobicoke Creek valley corridor. The recreational field, located just north of the temple, is located entirely within the Regional Floodplain and is subject to flood depths of up to two metres. A TRCA permit was previously issued for an addition to the existing temple and an expansion to the parking lot in 1997 (TRCA Permit #C-97053). A TRCA permit was also issued in 2006 for an additional parking lot expansion as well as the removal of fill and slope stabilization works adjacent to the creek, to resolve a previous violation on the property (TRCA Permit #C-06078). TRCA JURISDICTION Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06, a permit is required from TRCA prior to any development, if in the opinion of the Authority, the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches or pollution or the conservation of land may be affected by the development. Development is defined as: i) the construction, reconstruction, erection or placing of a building or structure of any kind, ii) any change to a building or structure that would have the effect of altering the use or potential use of the building or structure, increasing the size of the building or structure or increasing the number of dwelling units in the building or structure, iii) iv) site grading, the temporary or permanent placing, dumping or removal of any material, originating on the site or elsewhere. An Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit must be applied for and obtained before any grading or site alteration works can commence within portions of a property regulated by TRCA. In the case of 7080 Dixie Road, a permit under Ontario Regulation 166/06 would have been required prior to the site grading works and fill placement commencing within TRCA s Regulated Areas; this has been conveyed to the same proponent on several occasions through previous violation and permitting processes on the same property. 37

38 TRCA staff review all permitting requirements in concert with our Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) policies (1994). VSCMP integrates TRCA's natural hazard management, public safety responsibilities and reaffirms its commitment to ecosystem planning at a watershed level. The VSCMP outlines policies for new development and modifications to existing properties within highly urbanized areas such as the area surrounding and including the subject property. THE PROPOSAL This permit application is to seek permission after-the-fact for the fill placed within a TRCA Regulated Area, and the Regulatory Floodplain, adjacent to Etobicoke Creek. According to the report submitted in support of this application, prepared by MPS Engineering Inc., dated January 2010, approximately 10,360 cubic metres of fill has been placed over an area of 12,140 square metres (for an average depth of 0.85 metres). The submitted report and application identify that the fill has been placed on an existing soccer field in order to create a level soccer field for the benefit of temple members. The fill placed on site is located within the Regional Storm floodplain. STAFF REVIEW OF THE PROPOSAL Control of Flooding The submission does not meet the five tests under Ontario Regulation 166/06 as it negatively impacts the control of flooding. The report completed by MPS Engineering Inc., submitted with the application states that the fill placement has resulted in the direct loss of 8,640 cubic metres of floodplain storage during a Regional Storm event. TRCA staff has determined that this loss of flood storage is unacceptable and that the cumulative impacts to the available flood storage throughout the watershed, should this type of activity be allowed, would result in adverse changes to the function of the floodplain and its ability to convey flood waters. The loss of flood storage will result in an increase in peak flood flows and water levels. As noted above, the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program is utilized by TRCA staff to guide the review of applications pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06. The VSCMP stresses in 'Principle No. 4' that valley and stream corridors are vulnerable to the incremental and cumulative impacts of land use change. As a result, the VSCMP does not permit large-scale filling within the floodplain, which results in significant incremental and cumulative losses to floodplain storage for the purposes of facilitating development. This proposal is inconsistent with the following policies of the VSCMP: 1. Section C) identifies that alterations of valley corridors through such activities as filling shall not be permitted to create additional useable area and/or accommodate development. The fill has been placed within the valley corridor and is contrary to policy C). 2. Section 4.1- New Development, of the VSCMP emphasizes the need to protect and rehabilitate valley and stream corridor landforms, features and functions while being sensitive to the development characteristics and needs of the Region as a whole and to the use of these important resources by the community. The placement of fill within the Regulatory Flood Plain of the Etobicoke Creek valley contributes to the cumulative storage loss of flood waters in the watershed. Granting permission to regularize the fill placed on site: 38

39 i. may put additional properties upstream or downstream at risk of flooding during a Regional Storm event as a result of the cumulative impacts to floodplain storage; ii. would set a precedent that would make it difficult to refuse future applications of this nature. The cumulative impacts of such approvals would compromise the ability of TRCA staff to effectively manage flood risk on a watershed basis. Prohibiting development such as this that creates potential risk to life and property is further emphasized in Policy 4.1, which states that (T)he main thrust of the Authority s policies and procedures for undeveloped valley and stream corridors is to prevent new development that would introduce risk to life and property associated with flooding, erosion and slope stability The fill placed on the subject property is considered development and introduces potential flooding risk to life and property within the Etobicoke Creek watershed and is not consistent with Section 4.1 of the VSCMP. 3. Policy E. of the VSCMP recognizes the need for provisions dealing with ancillary structures and property improvements, such as minor filling. Section E.1) states that minor alterations to grade/landscaping, if located within the Regulatory Flood Plain, may be permitted so long as the location and design of the alterations do not result in unacceptable impacts to flood storage and conveyance. As previously stated, the filling on this site is not minor, and it is the opinion of TRCA Water Resources Engineering staff that the fill placed in the Regulatory Flood Plain has resulted in an unacceptable loss of flood storage and is inconsistent with this policy. 4. The unacceptable impact is further emphasized in Policy E.5) of the VSCMP, which states that property improvements and ancillary structures that introduce greater potential for valleyland impacts, such as filling, shall be prohibited. As noted above, the significant amount of fill placed on site has resulted in an unacceptable loss of flood storage, and thus a significant impact on the Etobicoke Creek valleyland. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS TO FLOODPLAIN STORAGE / PRECEDENT The submitted engineering report concludes that the placement of fill will only marginally increase the Regional Storm event water levels across the subject site. However, these impacts are cumulatively important in terms of scale of impact. Although the report suggests the fill has caused only marginal impacts, TRCA Water Resources Engineering staff conclude that this anticipated degree of change is unacceptable in this sector of the urbanized main Etobicoke Creek. When determining the risks associated with the fill activity, TRCA staff must also consider the management of the reach as a whole, and not only the subject site. TRCA staff is concerned about the loss of floodplain storage as this activity will negatively impact the overall function of the valley system to convey flood flows and will result in higher water levels downstream of the subject site. It is not possible to model the cumulative impacts to the Regional Floodplain water levels as a result of fill in the floodplain on a site-specific basis, given the current hydraulic modelling tools available. Although the impacts cannot be determined on a site specific basis, the cumulative impacts of permitting such fill or structural encroachments within the Regional Storm Floodplain will result in increases to the floodplain water levels. The recent floodplain mapping update of the Etobicoke Creek watershed indicated a significant watershed sensitivity to incremental development and floodplain change. In fact, additional areas of the subject property are now flood vulnerable during a Regional Storm event. 39

40 Based on the preceding, TRCA staff has adopted a floodplain management approach that prohibits the placement of significant amounts of fill in the floodplain. This submission is, therefore, not supported as it contributes to the impact created by the cumulative loss of Regional Floodplain storage within the Etobicoke Creek watershed. Permitting this intrusion could be argued by future applicants to have established a precedent which will lead to similar applications or fill proposals after-the-fact within TRCA s jurisdiction, given the constant pressure for more land use intensification within existing urban areas. This, in turn, would lead to additional lands being located within the Regional Storm Floodplain and potentially greater flood risks to those lands which are already vulnerable to flooding. Planning and Development staff receive inquiries for similar works both in rural and urban areas on a frequent basis. Most inquiries for such works do not progress beyond the preliminary inquiry stage in part because staff has the ability to refer to TRCA's historically consistent approach to watershed management which has not allowed such works to be permitted. If this application is approved, staff will have difficulty opposing future applications for the placement or recognition of placement of significant amounts of fill within valley corridors, which will result in additional negative impacts to our more urbanized watersheds. If this application is approved, such works could also be proposed by others in order to create additional tableland for development. The cumulative impacts of permitting such development would put additional properties at risk of flooding and expose TRCA to liability for having permitted it. Indeed, the TRCA's position before the Mining and Lands Commissioner on future appeals relating to its refusal to permit filling will become less defensible. It is the opinion of TRCA staff that this application does not have any merit and could possibly, if approved, be argued by future applicants to have created a significant and negative precedent for TRCA and undermine the legitimacy of TRCA's policies which have also been upheld by the Mining and Lands Commissioner. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION The restrictions to development within the floodplain, including the requirement for a TRCA permit, have been conveyed to the proponent through previous violation, planning and permit processes and is not a new circumstance. In summary, staff recommends that the application be denied for the following reasons: 1. The submission does not meet the tests applied to applications under Ontario Regulation 166/06. Specifically, this proposal will adversely affect the Control of Flooding as it: results in a loss in flood storage during a Regional Storm event within the Etobicoke Creek valley; 2. The submission does not comply with the objectives or policies of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. Specifically, it does not conform with Sections (C), 4.1, New Development, E. and E.5., Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures. 40

41 4. The submission could be argued by future applicants to have created a precedent that will: result in future consideration of similar proposals or after-the-fact applications to regularize significant amounts of fill within valley corridors in the City of Mississauga and other urbanized areas of TRCA s jurisdiction; undermine the consistent application of TRCA's policies; and reduce TRCA's ability to defend such policies at the Mining and Lands Commission.

All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be paid; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required. BACKGROUND The Meadowcliffe Drive Erosion Control Project was originally developed in 1985, at the request of several homeowners concerned over the loss of property and the potential long term risk to their homes. After geotechnical review by Terraprobe in 2006, and review of long term solutions to the shoreline erosion by Shoreplan Engineering, TRCA submitted the Environmental Study Report for the project to the Ministry of the Environment per the Environmental Assessment Act in March, The preferred solution determined through the Environmental Assessment process is a shoreline treatment consisting of cobble beach anchored by a series of parallel headlands which will protect 600 metres of eroding bluff below Meadowcliffe Drive. Construction of this project commenced in the summer of 2010, in terms of stockpiling materials for the project. The project will provide protection for 13 parcels of land involving 10 owners along the south side of Meadowcliffe Drive between Cudia Park and Bellamy Ravine. The subject parcels being acquired are strips of land below the 86 metre contour line which is approximately the lower one quarter of the bluff face. The lands to be retained by the owners include the upper portion of the bluffs face together with the tablelands above the bluffs and the improvements. The Ontario Heritage Trust (OHT) owns a property at 1 Meadowcliffe Drive. TRCA acquired the shoreline from this property when TRCA undertook the Bellamy Ravine Erosion Control Project. Based on a review of the survey, TRCA owns sufficient land at this location for construction of the access road and revetment. It may be necessary in the future to enter into an agreement with OHT to undertake slope buttressing. RATIONALE The subject property is required for the construction of the Meadowcliffe Drive Erosion Control Project. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE The parcels of land will be turned over to the City of Toronto under the terms of the existing management agreement. 51

52 FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the costs related to this purchase are available in the Meadowcliffe Drive Erosion Control Project, through the City of Toronto capital.

54 TO: FROM: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #7/10, September 10, 2010 James W. Dillane, Director, Finance and Business Services Item EX8.4 RE: REQUEST FOR DISPOSAL OF TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY-OWNED LAND West side of Weston Road, north of Highway No. 401, City of Toronto (Etobicoke York Community Council Area) CFN KEY ISSUE Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is in receipt of a request for a land exchange of a parcel of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority land located on the west side of Weston Road, north of Highway No. 401, City of Toronto (Etobicoke York Community Council Area), Humber River watershed. RECOMMENDATION THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) land located on the west side of Weston Road, north of Highway No. 401, City of Toronto (Etobicoke York Community Council Area), be retained for conservation purposes. BACKGROUND A letter has been received from Mr. Guillaume Lavictoire of Rueter Scargall Bennett LLP, who is acting on behalf of Dulane Construction Company Ltd., Torch Investments Ltd. and Hillhurst Acres Ltd., requesting that the subject parcel of TRCA land situated on the west side of Weston Road, north of Highway No. 401 be exchanged for the valleyland portion of his clients' neighbouring property to the north. At Executive Committee Meeting #10/09, held on December 11, 2009, Resolution #B180/09 was approved as follows: THAT the potential disposal of a parcel of land located on the west side of Weston Road, north of Highway No. 401, City of Toronto - Etobicoke York Community Council Area, be referred to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff for review and discussion in accordance with established TRCA policies; AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action. This request was circulated to City of Toronto staff and TRCA staff for review and comment. The following comments have been received: 54

55 City of Toronto Staff Comments The City is not allowed to sell parkland; however, the City can exchange parkland provided that the exchange meets Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department (PF&R) objectives and meets policies set out in the Official Plan. Section of the Official Plan notes that: Parkland Cannot Be Sold: The policy prohibits the sale of city-owned land (not just parkland but any city lands) that are part of the Green Space System which means designated Parks and Open Space (POS). But it Can Be Exchanged: The policy recognizes that in some cases it would be acceptable to exchange City-owned POS land if the land to be exchanged is: nearby (i.e. within normal walking distance); equivalent or larger in area; and comparable or superior green space utility (i.e. does the exchange make the park the same or better). PF&R staff has said that this land exchange would comply with the Official Plan policies for land exchange involving areas designated as open space. TRCA Staff Comments Planning and Development staff does not support the request for disposal of TRCA lands at this location for the following reasons: The Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) sets out the policy Framework for TRCA. 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 the subject lands, the top of valley bank is located on the far eastern portion of the property near the road, placing the entire property within the valley and its 10 metre buffer. In addition, 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 from public ownership does not meet the notion of good tableland management. Finally, 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. A plan illustrating the location of the subject lands is attached. 55

56 CONCLUSION While the City of Toronto's Official Plan policies do allow exchanges of park land in certain circumstances, the disposal of the subject parcel of land is contrary to TRCA's VSCMP policies as well as TRCA's mandate to conserve natural areas and protect adjacent land from natural hazards. Therefore, staff is recommending that the subject parcel be retained.

RECOMMENDATION THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of a request from the City of Toronto to convey certain lands for the construction of a cul-de-sac as part of the partial closure of Kirkhams Road, in the City of Toronto (Scarborough Community Council Area); AND WHEREAS it is in the opinion of TRCA that it is in the best interest of TRCA in furthering its objectives, as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act, to cooperate with the City of Toronto in this instance; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT a parcel of TRCA-owned land containing 0.12 hectares (0.29 acres), more or less, required for the construction of a cul-de-sac as part of the partial closure of Kirkhams Road, said land being Part of Lot 5, Concession 3, City of Toronto (Scarborough Community Council Area), designated as Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 on a draft Plan of Survey prepared by the City of Toronto Technical Services - Survey and Mapping, entitled: KIRKHAMS ROAD, under their Job No , dated September 21, 2009, be conveyed to the City of Toronto; 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 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 the conveyance of land be subject to a landscaping plan, subject to the approval of TRCA staff; 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 this sale or the carrying out of construction; 65

66 THAT said conveyance 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. BACKGROUND The subject lands form part of a larger acreage acquired by TRCA from Glen-Rouge Parks Limited on January 26, 1968 and the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto on October 4, 1983, under the Rouge River Component of the Land Acquisition Project. The City of Toronto has conveyed lands to TRCA over the years for nominal consideration of $2.00 and has requested that TRCA lands required for the construction of the cul-de-sac as part of the partial closure of Kirkhams Road be conveyed for the nominal consideration of $2.00. This City of Toronto road project has been reviewed under the Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process by TRCA staff. The City proposal consists of the removal of the severely deteriorated Kirkhams Road bridge and substructure; re-instatement and renaturalization of the Rouge River valley; relocation of the existing watermain by trenchless technology under the Rouge River; creation of cul-de-sacs north and south of the river; and a gate at Meadowvale Road which will be used for access by maintenance vehicles. Only the north cul-de-sac will occur on TRCA property. The EA process has been completed and TRCA staff is presently reviewing a permit application pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 for the proposed Kirkhams Road project. The permit application will be considered at a future Executive Committee meeting. Rouge Park staff has reviewed the proposed sale of TRCA-owned land to the City of Toronto for the purpose of constructing a cul-de-sac following the removal of the Kirkhams Road bridge and confirm that the City has selected an appropriate location in an area of relatively limited environmental sensitivity. Overall, Rouge Park is supportive of the Kirkham's Road bridge removal, as it will ultimately be ecologically beneficial to this section of the Rouge River valley and, therefore, has no opposition to the proposed property sale. A plan illustrating the fee simple conveyance and temporary easement locations is attached. Plantings: All lands disturbed by construction will be stabilized and, where deemed appropriate by TRCA staff, revegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant material in accordance with existing TRCA landscaping guidelines. A landscape plan will be prepared and form part of the permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06. 66

69 TO: FROM: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #7/10, September 10, 2010 Deborah Martin-Downs, Director, Ecology Item EX8.8 RE: HYDROLOGIC STUDY OF IMPACTS OF FLOOD FLOWS AND MITIGATION Future Development in the Humber River Watershed KEY ISSUE Award of contract for hydrologic study of the Humber River watershed to assess impacts of future development on flood flows and to develop appropriate stormwater quantity control criteria to prevent increases to flood flows. RECOMMENDATION THAT the contract to undertake a hydrologic study of the Humber River watershed, to assess the impacts of future development on flood flows, and to develop appropriate stormwater control criteria to prevent increases to flood flow and flood risk, be awarded to AMEC Earth & Environmental at a cost not to exceed $179,870.00, plus a contingency allowance in the amount of $20,130.00, plus HST, it being the lowest bid meeting Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications; AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take such actions as is necessary to implement the contract including the signing and execution of documents. BACKGROUND Within the TRCA jurisdiction, mitigation of the increase in flood flows resulting from urban development has traditionally revolved around controlling the peak rate of runoff from developing areas. This has typically been achieved by utilizing detention facilities (stormwater management (SWM) ponds) in new developments for temporarily storing and then releasing stormwater at a controlled rate. The level of control that the SWM ponds are required to provide is based on maintaining the pre-development peak rate of stormwater runoff up to the 100-year storm, to a level not exceeding the rate of runoff assuming a pre-development condition in the area being serviced by the SWM pond. However, recent analysis conducted by TRCA in the development of the Humber River watershed plan has indicated that ongoing development may also impact the magnitude of flood flows in excess of the 100-year storm, including the Regional Event (Hurricane Hazel) that defines the extent of the regulatory floodplain in the TRCA jurisdiction. As a result, Regional Event flood flows, and the extent of the regulatory floodplain, may increase as urbanization continues in accordance with municipal plans for growth. This expansion of the regulatory floodplain may cause existing development to enter into the floodplain, or may cause existing development in the floodplain, such as downtown Woodbridge, to be exposed to an increased flood risk. Given the obligation of TRCA to ensure that the floodplains are managed to minimize risk to life and property, it is evident that this issue needs to be investigated promptly, and if necessary new stormwater management criteria should be identified for future development to mitigate these risks. 69

70 Proposed Work A hydrologic study of the Humber watershed is proposed to be undertaken, that will simulate the hydrologic response of the watershed in a continuous manner in order to assess the effects of future development in the Humber watershed outside the current Official Plan boundaries ( white belt areas south of the Oak Ridges Moraine and Greenbelt). The study will make informed assumptions regarding the future land use in the white belt areas, by consulting municipal and regional planning documents as well as through discussions with municipal partners. Hydrologic models will be prepared to simulate flood flows from both current and future development conditions over a 30 year or greater period of historic record, as well as for Hurricane Hazel and other known extreme storm events. Increases in the magnitude, duration and frequency of occurrence of flood flows will be quantified throughout the watershed. If current quantity control criteria are inadequate to mitigate the impacts of future development on flood risk, enhanced stormwater quantity control criteria will be developed for application to future development in white belt areas. RATIONALE With the municipalities of Vaughan, Caledon and Brampton contemplating expansion of urban boundaries beyond the limits as defined in current Official Plans, it is imperative that an assessment of the impacts of development in these areas on downstream flood risk be undertaken. TRCA's approach to management of flood flows needs to be revisited in order to inform development of floodplain management policies and criteria that are consistent with minimizing risk in the floodplain. The proposed work also fulfills a recommendation of the Humber watershed plan for assessing the impacts of future development through rigorous hydrologic modeling, and to determine appropriate stormwater quantity control criteria to prevent increases in flood flows and flood risk within watercourses in the Humber watershed. Requests for Proposals were sent to three consultants as follows, and included a Terms of Reference for Hydrologic Study of Impacts on Flood Flows and Mitigation of Future Development in the Humber River Watershed that provided information on the objectives, key tasks and deliverables that would be required: AECOM Canada Ltd.; AMEC Earth and Environmental; Egmonds Associates Ltd. / Emmons & Olivier Resources Inc. Proposals were received on July 15, 2010 and opened by TRCA Water Management staff (Ryan Ness, Alison MacLennan, Michael Heralall and Don Haley) with the following results: COMPANY COST PROPOSAL (Plus HST) AECOM Canada Ltd. $275, AMEC Earth and Environmental $179, Egmonds Associates Ltd. / Emmons & Olivier Resources Inc. $239, Proposals were evaluated on the bidding firm s understanding of the project, experience on similar projects, professional expertise in the relevant disciplines, and whether all tasks were included in the submitted fee estimate. The proposals were ranked by the four TRCA engineers noted above. 70

71 Based on the evaluation criteria, the AMEC proposal had the highest score, and staff is recommending award of the contract to AMEC Earth & Environmental. While cost was not a criterion used in ranking the proposals, the AMEC proposal is also the lowest bid. AMEC has performed similar work in the past for TRCA, and staff was satisfied with the firm s performance on these projects and have confidence that the work proposed in this study will be competently delivered. FINANCIAL DETAILS The total cost to be paid to AMEC Earth & Environmental for works defined in the Terms of Reference is $179,870 plus applicable taxes. An additional amount of $20,130 will be set aside to cover any contingencies related to the undertaking, for a total project cost of $200,000 plus HST. The project will take place through the remainder of 2010 and into 2011 and will be fully covered by funds provided by the Region of York in account and funds provided by the Region of Peel in account Report prepared by: Michael Heralall s: mheralall@trca.on.ca For Information contact: Michael Heralall, extension s: mheralall@trca.on.ca Date: August 19,

79 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant seeks permission to construct a new church within a flood prone vacant lot within 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, which is located further to the east in the Town of Ajax. 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 meet the minimum floodproofing standard of the 350 year flood level and, where possible, meet the higher standard of the Regional Storm flood level. While the lands are currently vacant, the zoning for the subject lands allows a "Place of Religious Assembly" as of right, allowing the Owner to take advantage of the Special Policy Area provisions. The proposed church is approximately 5500 m2 in floor area (approximately 59,200 square feet) and is to include associated parking facilities, sanctuary, nursery, children's ministry, gymnasium and classroom space. The church building is to be constructed using slab on grade construction without a basement. Control of Flooding: The entire church structure will be built within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. The Owner was required to submit detailed hydraulic modelling to ensure that the proposed structure will not create an increase in flood elevations on lands up or downstream of the site. At the request of TRCA staff, the Owner has met the higher flood protection standard of the Regional Storm Flood Plain elevation of metres above sea level for the entire structure. No openings are proposed below this elevation. The building has been sited with a series of steps and ramps to elevate the exterior to the required elevation. Pollution: As the proposed construction is removed from the natural valleylands of the Duffins Creek by an industrial area on the east side of Notion Road, there is low risk of sedimentation of the creek. However, a sediment and erosion control plan has been submitted in support of this proposal in order to manage construction generated sediment. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no slope stability or geotechnical concerns with the project. Conservation of Land: As the subject lands are a vacant parcel devoid of significant vegetation, there are no conservation of land concerns with this proposal. 79

80 Plantings A landscape plan has been submitted to the City of Pickering, which includes plantings of trees and shrubs to meet the City of Pickering's landscape and urban design requirements. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section B, Development Guidelines for Development/Redevelopment within Designated Two Zone Areas or Special Policy Areas, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

In accordance with Authority RES.#B184/08, the proposed works are classified as "Emergency Works" because the damaged section of pathway and access road requiring repair are required to provide access for sewer works required as part to the Coxwell Sanitary Sewer Emergency Works project, which poses an immediate hazard to public safety, and as such represented a threat of injury to persons, loss of life, or loss of property (Conservation Authorities Act). The works involve the removal and replacement of the damaged section of pathway and bank restoration beneath and adjacent to the Don Valley Parkway, to Manhole #2. Control of Flooding: Although the proposed works are located within the engineered flood plain of the East Don River, no net changes in the existing grade will result from the proposed works. Therefore the proposed project will have no impacts on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters. Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented prior to construction and maintained for the duration of construction, and until the site is stabilized and restored, in order to prevent construction generated sediments from entering any watercourse. Erosion and sediment control measures have been provided in accordance with the TRCA Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: No geotechnical/slope stability issues have been identified with the proposal. 113

114 Conservation of Land: With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated.

119 RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose is to conduct grading and landscaping works associated with the construction of an enhanced drainage swale within a Regulated Area of the Humber River watershed. The majority of the subject property is flat and devoid of vegetation; however, a draw feature associated with Robinson Creek extends onto a corner of the subject property. A small 8 lot infill development is proposed for the subject property, stormwater drainage from the development is to be conveyed to the proposed enhanced drainage swale which ultimately drains to the draw feature, thereby maintaining the current drainage pattern of the site. As part of the associated Zoning Amendment Application (Application No. Z ), the limits of the draw feature were defined and an appropriate buffer applied. The proposed works are located outside of the buffer and natural feature and would act as an extension of the natural feature, resulting in a net ecological gain. As part of TRCA staff review of the associated Plan of Condominium Application (Application No. 19CDM-08V02), TRCA Ecology and Water Resources staff are satisfied that the proposed works are appropriately designed to manage the stormwater drainage from the development. Control of Flooding: The subject property is not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. There will be no impacts on the storage and conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment control fencing and temporary rock check dams will be installed and maintained for the duration of construction to prevent the transport of sediment into the draw feature and buffer area. 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. Plantings The enhanced drainage swale is to be vegetated with native, non-invasive plantings and act as a tableland extension of the draw feature, which results in a net ecological gain for the subject property. 119

The purpose is to conduct site grading in order to install a sanitary sewer line under Huntington Road, where it crosses West Rainbow Creek, adjacent to Planning Block 64, in the City of Vaughan. 129

130 The permit will be issued for the period of September 10, 2010 to September 9, 2012 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Schaeffers Consulting Engineers, dated August 25, 2010, received August 25, RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading in order to install a sanitary sewer line under Huntington Road, where it crosses West Rainbow Creek. The proposed work area is adjacent to Planning Block 64, in the City of Vaughan. The proposed servicing works will facilitate the development of an industrial subdivision in Block 64 and the future development of Planning Block 61. Planning Block 64 is located on the west side of the City of Vaughan; bounded by Rutherford Road to the north, Huntington Road to the east, Langstaff Road to the south and to the west by Highway 50. The proposed sanitary sewer line will be installed under the Huntington Road right-of-way where it bisects the West Rainbow Creek; a tributary of the Humber River. As part of these subject works, there will be crossings under three (3) existing culverts. These culverts are located south of Rutherford Road; with the last crossing located approximately 2 km south of Rutherford Road. The depth of the sanitary line will be approximately 2 metres or more under the existing culverts. Dewatering works are not expected for the proposed works, as groundwater is located below the sanitary line. In the event the culvert should fail, a contingency plan has been implemented in order to minimize impacts to the watercourse. The works will not be conducted during the warmwater fisheries timing window (April 1 - June 30). Control of Flooding: The proposed works will be located under the Huntington Road right-of-way and outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. TRCA technical staff are satisfied that the works will not impact the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters. 130

131 Pollution: Environmental/sediment fencing is proposed as an erosion and sediment control measure around the work site, in order to isolate the area from the watercourse. This will ensure that sediment from construction activities are not deposited in the nearby watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: Erosion will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned sediment control measures. There are no geotechnical/slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: While there will be no direct in-water works, the proposed contingency plan (should the culvert fail) involves the use of a pump by-pass system. This includes the use of a temporary coffer dam and pump by-pass within the watercourse. As such, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).

The purpose is to conduct site grading in order to install a sanitary sewer line under Huntington Road and Major Mackenzie Drive, where it crosses Robinson Creek, adjacent to Planning Blocks 61 & 64, in the City of Vaughan. 131

132 The permit will be issued for the period of September 10, 2010 to September 9, 2012 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Schaeffers Consulting Engineers, dated August 25, 2010, received August 25, RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to conduct site grading in order to install a sanitary sewer line under Huntington Road and Major Mackenzie Drive, where it crosses Robinson Creek. The proposed work area is adjacent to Planning Blocks 61 & 64, in the City of Vaughan. The proposed servicing works will facilitate the development of an industrial subdivision in Block 64 and the future development of Planning Block 61. Planning Block 64 is located on the west side of the City of Vaughan; bounded by Rutherford Road to the north, Huntington Road to the east, Langstaff Road to the south and to the west by Highway 50. Planning Block 61 is bounded to the west by Huntington Road, to the north by Nashville Road, Highway 27 to the east and Major Mackenzie Drive to the south. The proposed sanitary sewer line will be installed under the Huntington Road and Major Mackenzie Drive right-of-ways where it bisects Robinson Creek; a tributary of the Humber River. As part of these subject works, there will be crossings under two (2) existing culverts. The first culvert is located approximately 300 m south of Major Mackenzie Drive along Huntington Road. The second crossing is located on Major Mackenzie Drive, approximately 1 km east of Huntington Road. The depth of the sanitary line will be approximately 2 m or more under the existing culverts. Dewatering works are not expected for the proposed works, as groundwater is located below the sanitary line. In the event the culvert should fail, a contingency plan has been implemented in order to minimize impacts to the watercourse. The works will not be conducted during the warmwater fisheries timing window (April 1 - June 30). 132

133 Control of Flooding: The proposed works will be located under the Huntington Road/Major Mackenzie Drive right-of-ways and outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. TRCA technical staff are satisfied that the works will not impact the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Environmental/sediment fencing is proposed as an erosion and sediment control measure around the work site, in order to isolate the area from the watercourse. This will ensure that sediment from construction activities are not deposited in the nearby watercourse. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: Erosion will be minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned sediment control measures. There are no geotechnical/slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Conservation of Land: While there will be no direct in-water works, the proposed contingency plan (should the culvert fail) involves the use of a pump by-pass system. This includes the use of a temporary coffer dam and pump by-pass within the watercourse. As such, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Plantings No vegetation will be removed as part of the proposed works. As such, plantings will not be required for this application. Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section Infrastructure and Servicing, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The Molise Kleinburg Estates Inc. draft approved plan of subdivision is situated on the former Kleinburg Golf Course lands, south of Nashville Road and west of Stevenson Avenue. 134

135 There are two watercourses on the subject lands: one which traverses the central portion of the site (Tributary A) and a second in the northeast corner (Tributary B). The amphibian ponds will be created within the valley/stream corridor associated with Tributary A. Pond 1 will be situated in the central portion of the property at the toe of the valley slope. Pond 2 will be situated near the northwest corner of the site where there are no defined valley slopes. The surface area of the ponds will measure approximately 0.18 hectares (0.44 acres) and 0.12 hectares (0.30 acres). The areas in and adjacent to the ponds will be planted with native trees, shrubs, aquatics and seed. Ponds 1 and 2 are being provided by the owner to mitigate for the loss of two productive amphibian breeding ponds on the tableland portion of the site. These tableland ponds were used by the former golf course operators for irrigation purposes and are not connected to Tributaries A and B. These irrigation ponds will be drained and filled to accommodate the future Phase 2 subdivision works. Fish and wildlife collection from the existing irrigation ponds has already occurred under permits issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). The collected fish and wildlife were relocated to the existing on-line ponds along Tributary A and to other locations within the City of Vaughan at the direction of MNR staff. Relocation of amphibians from the existing on-line ponds to the proposed amphibian ponds will occur during the removal of the on-line ponds, following the completion and stabilization of Ponds 1 and 2. A separate permit application will be submitted for the removal of the existing on-line ponds. Control of Flooding: The proposal will have minimal impact on the storage and conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment and erosion control measures will be installed and maintained throughout construction to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent natural features. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There will be no geotechnical/slope stability issues associated with the proposed development. In addition, the implementation of the aforementioned sediment and erosion control measures will minimize erosion on the site. Conservation of Land: The project does not constitute a Harmful Alteration, Destruction, or Disruption of fish habitat and, therefore, an Authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is not required. Staff will issue a Letter of Advice to the proponent on behalf of DFO. The ponds will be located within the valley/stream corridor of Tributary A, but have been situated to avoid the loss of existing natural vegetation. The ponds have been sited near areas that support existing amphibian populations. 135

136 There are no other significant natural features on or adjacent to the site that may be negatively impacted by the project. The creation of these amphibian breeding ponds is intended to promote the conservation of land. Plantings An extensive revegetation plan has been prepared for both amphibian ponds utilizing native trees, shrubs, aquatics and seed to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section F) - Opportunities for Regeneration - of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.
