In accordance with TRCA policy, the following comments have been received and action has been taken to date: Technical and Agency Comments TRCA staff Planning and Development staff has confirmed that the portion of the property to be declared surplus is located on tableland outside of the valleylands defined as the stable top of bank plus a 10 metre buffer. In addition, there are no geotechnical slope stability concerns at this site. As such, the proposal to declare the lands surplus and any new development on the surplus lands will be consistent with TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. City of Toronto staff - Planning The property is zoned RM2(3) by Zoning By-law 7625 of the former City of North York. This is the "Multiple Family Dwellings Second Density Zone". Permitted residential uses include Duplex Dwelling, Semi-detached Dwelling and Single Family Dwelling. The exception number '3' requires a minimum lot size of 641 square metres instead of 665 square metres as required by the RM2 zone regulations. City of Toronto - Parks, Forestry & Recreation (PF&R) The site is of no interest to PF&R for the following reasons: the site does not lead to Downsview Dells Park; access to Downsview Dells Park is located 400 metres to the east; and Giltspur Park is located directly across the street from the site. Public Consultation a sign was installed on the subject lands on April 8, 2010 inviting public comment; notices of the Public Information Session were distributed to the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry & Recreation Department and Councillor Maria Augimeri; 43

40 a notice of the Public Information Session / request for public comment was placed in the North York Mirror on Friday, April 9, 2010 and the Toronto Star on Saturday, April 10, 2010; a Public Information Session was held on Thursday, April 15, 2010, at Calico Public School (in the gymnasium), from 7:00 p.m to 9:00 p.m.; and members of the public have been invited to attend the Executive Committee meeting to make submissions or comments. The public information package was distributed at the Public Information Session. There were two correspondence (one letter and one electronic mail transmission) received as a result of the Public Information Session; both were positive responses to the proposed sale. There were no comments received opposing the disposal of the parcel of TRCA-owned land at the Public Information Session, nor has any further comments (positive or negative) been received to date. It is proposed that the disposal of the land be at market value and follow an open public tender process. If the public tender process is unsuccessful, the property would be listed with a real estate broker. A map showing the location of the subject property is attached. RATIONALE Staff has reviewed the subject property and is recommending it be declared surplus and disposed of for the following reasons: 1. it is not required by the City for access to Downsview Dells Park or park purposes; and 2. the subject property is entirely above the top-of-bank of the Black Creek valley and only the rear (i.e. southern) one quarter of the parcel is located within the regulated area. FINANCIAL DETAILS The proceeds from this sale will be used to acquire priority lands under TRCA's Greenlands Acquisition Project for Report prepared by: George Leja, extension s: gleja@trca.on.ca For Information contact: George Leja, extension 5342; Ron Dewell, extension s: gleja@trca.on.ca; rdewell@trca.on.ca Date: May 19, 2010 Attachments: 1 44

42 TO: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #4/10, June 4, 2010 Item EX7.7 FROM: Catherine MacEwen, Director, Human Resources, Marketing and Communications RE: WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PREVENTION POLICY KEY ISSUE Approval of the Workplace Violence Prevention policy and receipt of program. RECOMMENDATION THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) policy for Workplace Violence Prevention of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, as outlined in Attachment 1, be approved. AND FURTHER THAT the program for Workplace Violence Prevention of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, as outlined in Attachment 2, be received. BACKGROUND On December 15, 2009, Bill 168, which amends Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act to address workplace violence and harassment, received Royal Assent. The provisions of Bill 168 will come into force on June 15, 2010, at which time employers will have a number of new obligations under the Act. These obligations include the requirement to conduct assessments of the risks of workplace violence and the requirement to develop a policy and program to address and prevent violence in the workplace. RATIONALE The purpose of the Workplace Violence Policy and Program is to ensure that all TRCA employees and volunteers understand their roles and responsibilities as they relate to violence prevention at the workplace. Also to ensure that risks of violence to employees and volunteers are identified and appropriate prevention programs and practices are established that eliminate or minimize those risks. The first responsibility of all employees and volunteers is to promote safety and guard against harm to themselves and others. The Workplace Violence Policy and Program reinforces TRCA's commitment to health and safety in the workplace. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds are identified in the 2010 Human Resources Operating Budget.

43 Attachment 1 WORKPLACE VIOLENCE POLICY AND PROGRAM POLICY TRCA is committed to the prevention of workplace violence and maintaining worker health and safety. TRCA will take whatever steps are reasonable to protect workers from workplace violence from all sources. Workplace violence as defined by the Occupational Health and Safety Act: the exercise of physical force by a person against a worker, in a workplace, that causes or could cause physical injury to the worker; an attempt to exercise physical force against a worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical injury to the worker; or a verbal statement or behaviour that it is reasonable for a worker to interpret as a threat to exercise physical force against the worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical injury to the worker. Violent behaviour in the workplace is unacceptable from anyone. This policy applies to all employees, consultants, contractors, volunteers, visitors, clients and any other person who conducts business with TRCA or on behalf of TRCA. Everyone is expected to uphold this policy and to work together to prevent workplace violence. Specifically, if TRCA is aware that domestic violence is likely to expose an employee to a workplace physical injury, every reasonable precaution will be implemented to protect the individual, at his/her work site. There is a workplace violence program that implements this policy. It includes preventative measures and procedures to protect workers from workplace violence, a means of summoning immediate assistance and a process for workers to report incidents or raise concerns. TRCA, as the employer, will ensure that this policy and the supporting program are implemented and maintained and that all workers and supervisors have the appropriate information they need to protect themselves. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that measures and procedures are followed by workers and that workers have the information they need to protect themselves. All workers are encouraged to raise any concerns about workplace violence and to report any violent incidents or threats. There will be no negative consequences for employees who report workplace violence in good faith. TRCA will investigate and deal with incidents and complaints of workplace violence in a timely and fair manner, respecting privacy of all concerned to the extent possible. The workplace harassment policy should be consulted whenever there are concerns about harassment in the workplace. 47

44 Attachment 2 WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PROGRAM BACKGROUND The purpose of this policy is to ensure that all employees and volunteers understand their roles and responsibilities as they relate to violence prevention at the workplace. Also to ensure that risks of violence to employees and volunteers are identified and appropriate prevention programs and practices are established that eliminate or minimize those risks. The first responsibility of all employees and volunteers is to promote safety and guard against harm to themselves and others. DEFINITIONS Workplace Violence the exercise of physical force by a person against a worker, in a workplace, that causes or could cause physical injury to the worker; an attempt to exercise physical force against a worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical injury to the worker; or a verbal statement or behaviour that it is reasonable for a worker to interpret as a threat to exercise physical force against the worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical injury to the worker. Examples of workplace violence include, but are not limited to: verbally threatening to attack a worker; leaving threatening notes at or sending threatening s to a workplace; shaking a fist in a worker s face; wielding a weapon at work; hitting or trying to hit a worker; throwing an object at a worker; sexual violence against a worker; kicking an object the worker is standing on, such as a ladder; attempting to run down a worker using a vehicle or equipment, such as a truck. Domestic Violence Domestic violence is widely understood to be a pattern of behaviour used by one person to gain power and control over another person with whom he/she has or has had an intimate relationship. This pattern of behaviour may include physical violence, sexual, emotional, and psychological intimidation, verbal abuse, stalking, and using electronic devices to harass and control. Workplace Refers to any location where TRCA business is conducted or TRCA services are provided. Workplace violence is not limited to incidents that occur within a traditional workplace. Work-related violence can occur at off-site business-related functions (conferences, trade shows), at social events related to work, in clients' homes and on their property, or away from work but resulting from work (a threatening telephone call to your home from a client). 48

45 Weapons Toronto and Region Conservation Authority maintains a full and total ban on the possession of weapons in the workplace. This includes weapons either kept or transported in any vehicle. Weapons shall be prohibited while conducting TRCA business off-site. Weapons shall be defined as, but not limited to, any gun, rifle, knife or other item held with intent to cause bodily harm. RESPONSIBILITIES Employer 1. Foster a violence-free workplace and maintain a zero-tolerance attitude towards violence or threats of violence in the workplace. 2. Ensure that all confirmed incidents are taken seriously, and are investigated and reported in a timely and confidential manner. 3. Ensure that any employee who commits or threatens to commit violence against another person is subject to appropriate corrective disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment and/or the pursuit of legal action. 4. Ensure that all employees are appropriately trained on the prevention, identification and reporting of workplace violence. 5. Ensure that no reprisals are made against employees who report workplace violence. 6. Provide support to employees who are victims or who witness workplace violence, including access to the confidential Employee Assistance Program. 7. Ensure that the policy and program are reviewed on at least an annual basis and updated as necessary. Supervisor, HR & Safety & Human Resources Associates ( The Workplace Coordinators ) 1. Manage the program that prevents violence in the workplace. 2. Lead the investigation of any workplace violence or threat of violence in a confidential manner. 3. Report any known incidents of workplace violence and harassment to the Joint Health and Safety Committee (JH&SC). Supervisor 1. Ensure that the guidelines set out in this policy are followed by all employees. 2. Assess the risk of violence to employees in their areas of responsibility and eliminate or minimize those risks. 3. Inform employees of any risk of violence they will encounter in their work. 4. Ensure that employees are trained on how to recognize the potential for violence, how to minimize exposure to violence and what to do when confronted by violence. 5. Respond to all incidents appropriately and in a confidential manner as outlined in this policy. 6. Take no reprisal actions against employees for reporting workplace violence Employees 1. Embrace a violence-free workplace and refrain from engaging in any threatening or violent behaviour. 2. Be an attentive participant in all training that is required. 3. Immediately report any incidence of violence or threat of violence towards yourself, or one that you witness, to either your immediate supervisor, the director of your department or the Workplace Co-ordinator. 49

46 4. Cooperate with authorities and all other people involved in an investigation. Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC) 1. Review the Risk Assessment results and provide recommendations to reduce or eliminate the risk of violence. 2. Review all reports forwarded to the JHSC regarding workplace violence and other incident reports as appropriate pertaining to incidents of workplace violence that result in personal injury or threat of personal injury, property damager, or police involvement. 3. Participate in the investigation of critical injuries. 4. Recommend corrective measures for the improvement of the health and safety of workers. 5. Respond to employee concerns related to workplace violence and communicate these to management. PREVENTATIVE MEASURES AND PROCEDURES Risk Assessments The Workplace Co-ordinators and the JHSC, with assistance from supervisors, will conduct risk assessments to determine if any parts of our operation are vulnerable to acts of violence. We look at three main categories: workplace design (where we work), administrative practices (how we work) and work practices (what you do). Risk assessments will be reviewed annually by the JHSC. There is certain work or conditions of work that can put workers at a higher risk of workplace violence. These risk factors will be part of the risk assessment. The risk factors are as follows: direct contact with clients handling cash working alone or in small numbers working with unstable or volatile people (e.g. places where alcohol is consumed) working in a community based setting mobile workplaces working in high crime areas Measures and procedures to control the risks of workplace violence identified in the risk assessments may include: safe work procedures; personal protective equipment; design or physical layout of the workplace such as doors with clear windows, adequate lighting, location and structure of counters, barrier, etc. procedures for informing or advising workers of potentially violent situations or people; worker training on the workplace violence policy and program and dealing with aggressive or violent clients. The controls will be identified, put into place and training provided to workers. 50

47 Policy Development and Maintenance These assessments guide policy development and maintenance which address and control the identified risks of violence. The Workplace Violence Prevention Policy will be posted at all TRCA work locations and be part of the TRCA Safety Manual. Training All new employees will receive training on the Workplace Violence Prevention Policy during the orientation sessions. New and existing employees in jobs where there is a higher risk of violence will be specifically trained by their supervisor before performing any of the duties that may expose them to the higher risk. The Right to Refuse Work Any employee has the right to refuse work when they believe that workplace violence is likely to endanger their life. The employee will be assigned other duties pending an investigation and decision by the Ministry of Labour. Notices When an incident of workplace violence occurs the employer should first notify police or emergency responders for immediate assistance. If a workplace violence incident results in a person being killed or critically injured, the employer must: immediately notify, by direct means such as telephone, a Ministry of Labour inspector, the workplace s joint health and safety committee or health and safety representative; and within 48 hours notify, in writing, a director of the Ministry of Labour, giving the circumstances of the occurrence and any information that may be prescribed; and immediately notify TRCA s legal representatives. If there is an incident of workplace violence and a worker is disabled or requires medical attention, the employer must notify the joint health and safety committee or health and safety representative within 4 days of the incident. DISCIPLINARY ACTION Any employee, who assaults or threatens to assault another employee, or any other individual at the workplace, shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment and/or the pursuit of legal action. Violent action and threats of violence are serious criminal offences, and will always be handled in a firm matter. For others who have committed an act of workplace violence, to protect its employees and property, the TRCA may take action against the individual through civil court. PROCEDURES FOR SUMMONING IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE When you are the victim of violence 1. Tell the offender that their conduct must stop immediately. 2. Avoid retaliation or confrontation. 3. Remove yourself from the situation to an area of safety. 51

48 4. If warranted, call Report the incident immediately to a supervisor or the Workplace Co-ordinator.

52 TO: FROM: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #4/10, June 4, 2010 Nick Saccone, Director, Restoration Services Item EX8.2 RE: COATSWORTH CUT DREDGING PROJECT Tender RSD10-15 Award of Contract KEY ISSUE Award of Contract RSD10-15 for channel maintenance dredging of the navigation channel at Coatsworth Cut, Ashbridge s Bay Park, City of Toronto. RECOMMENDATION THAT Contract RSD10-15 be awarded to The Ontario Construction Company Limited for the channel maintenance dredging of Coatsworth Cut for the total cost not to exceed $167, plus HST, which includes a contingency amount of $5, to be expended as authorized by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), it being the lowest bid meeting TRCA specifications; AND FURTHER THAT authorized officials be directed to take the necessary action to implement the contract including obtaining necessary approvals and the signing and execution of documents. BACKGROUND Maintenance dredging at Coatsworth Cut, Ashbridge's Bay Park was last completed in 2008 with the removal of approximately 4,250 cubic metres of material. The dredged material was tested and deemed to meet open water and parkland quality guidelines for disposal at Tommy Thompson Park (TTP) for use in the construction of habitat projects within the park. Due to lower than average water levels, TRCA performed an updated sounding survey of the channel in May 2010 which indicated that additional material had been deposited within portions of the channel since completion of dredging operations in With lower than anticipated water levels expected for the 2010 boating season, maintenance dredging has been scheduled to commence in early July to provide for continued safe navigation throughout the remainder of the year and into RATIONALE Due to the redistribution of material within the channel and additional deposition, portions of the channel have become narrowed, limiting safe navigation for local boaters for the remainder of the 2010 season and into As a result, TRCA proposes to dredge approximately 4,000 cubic metres of material using a combination of water and land based equipment for dredging and off site disposal to TTP for use in the construction of on site habitat projects as part of the master plan implementation. 56

53 Tender RSD10-15 was publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial News on May 11, 2010 with a site information meeting held on May 13, Tender packages were sent to seven (7) contractors as follows: Galcon Marine Ltd.; Soderholm Maritime Services Inc.; McNally Construction Inc.; Ambler & Co. Inc.; Dan Higgs Excavating Ltd.; Dean Construction Co. Ltd.; and The Ontario Construction Co. Ltd. The Tender Opening Committee opened the tenders on May 21, 2010 with the following results: Tender RSD10-15 Coatsworth Cut Channel Maintenance Dredging BIDDERS CONTINGENCY MOBILIZATION/ DEMOBILIZATION The Ontario Construction Company Limited Galcon Marine Limited IN-SITU VOLUME (m³) DREDGING ($/m³) TOTAL (Plus HST) $5, $35, ,000 $31.85 $167, $5, $45, ,000 $39.50 $208, TRCA staff reviewed the bids received against its own cost estimate and has determined that the lowest bid is of reasonable value. Based on the bids received, staff recommend that The Ontario Construction Company Limited be awarded Contract RSD10-15 for a total amount not to exceed $167,990.00, plus HST, as they are the lowest bidder meeting all TRCA specifications.

54 TO: FROM: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #4/10, June 4, 2010 Adele Freeman, Director, Watershed Management Item EX8.3 RE: PARTNERS IN PROJECT GREEN District Energy Feasibility Study Award of Contract KEY ISSUE Award of contract to complete a feasibility study for a district energy system in the Pearson Eco-Business Zone in the vicinity of Toronto Pearson. RECOMMENDATION THAT the contract to complete a Pearson Eco-Business Zone District Energy System Feasibility study be awarded to FVB Energy Inc. at a cost not to exceed $140, plus applicable taxes; AND FURTHER THAT authorized 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 Partners in Project Green has two targets for energy conservation: reduce energy consumption for building related activities by 20 percent by 2015; and, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by six percent below 1990 levels by 2014 and 15 percent below by At the Partners in Project Green Steering Committee Meeting #03/09 the following resolution was approved: THAT an RFP for an Airport Vicinity District Energy Feasibility Study be issued to establish a financial and environmental case for district heating and cooling within the Pearson Eco-Business Zone. After a competitive procurement process, the Partners in Project Green Executive Committee endorsed the following resolution on May 19 th 2010: THAT FVB Energy Inc. be awarded a contract to complete a Pearson Eco-Business Zone District Energy System Feasibility study at a cost not to exceed $140,000 plus applicable taxes. These recommendations are consistent with the Partners in Project Green Strategy document that recommends undertaking a feasibility study for a district energy system, which could play a pivotal role in meeting these targets by increasing the supply-side energy efficiency in the Pearson Eco-Business Zone. 58

55 District Energy is the distribution of thermal energy using a pipeline distribution system. The central thermal plants may use various types of fuel including natural gas, oil or renewable energy. Heat may be generated from either purchased fuel or waste heat. The economic viability of district energy systems relates closely to the energy density of the thermal customers being served. The district energy system in effect replaces the functions provided by the furnaces, air conditioners, boilers and chillers in individual buildings, and are more energy efficient than the sum of the small building level systems they replace. The Pearson Eco-Business Zone is home to two large natural gas cogeneration facilities at the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) and TransAlta that could each constitute the backbone of a district energy system. Existing steam that is currently vented to the atmosphere could be captured for the heating and cooling needs of nearby buildings. In order to determine if pursuing a district energy system in the vicinity of Toronto Pearson is a worthwhile effort, Partners in Project Green developed a Request for Proposals (RFP) to complete a feasibility study. The study will entail the following deliverables: 1. Technical Analysis characterize customer demand; analyze suitability of energy sources for a district energy system; recommend a distribution system concept. 2. Triple Bottom Line Business Analysis financial analysis (business as usual baseline, costs, revenues, financing); environmental analysis (anticipated GHG emissions reductions, ecological impacts); social analysis (socio-economic impacts); regulatory and legal analysis; ownership and operational structure; risk assessment. 3. Implementation Strategy RATIONALE An RFP was prepared by Eco-Industrial Solutions under the direction of the Partners in Project Green District Energy Project Team. The RFP was released on November 23, 2009 and the deadline for submissions was December 21, The RFP was sent to 22 consulting engineering firms identified by the members of the Project Team and the Canadian District Energy Association member listing as follows: Aerius Engineering; AMEC; Ameresco Canada; CEM Engineering; Cobalt Engineering; Conestoga-Rovers & Associates; Conunudrum Capital Corporation; COWI; Environcorp; FVB Energy Inc.; 59

57 Criteria FVB Morrison Hershfield Vendor Profile and Team Composition Methodology Fee Proposal 2 2 Total The selection team and the Partners in Project Green Executive Committee recommend that FVB Energy be awarded the contract to complete the study. The vendor and team members have deep experience with all phases of the study, planning and commissioning of district energy systems in North America. The team was able to answer the interviewers questions with confidence and precision, and was able to demonstrate strong value for money through their experience and understanding of Canadian district energy systems. Morrison Hershfield constructed a team including sub-consultants from Golder Associates and AF Consult. The interviewers determined that Morrison Hershfield and Golder Associates are beginning to build expertise in district energy systems, but their experience and knowledge is still limited. AF Consult has significant experience in district energy in Europe, but in this proposal, their role was limited to modeling the distribution system remotely from Sweden. The study is expected to be completed for December FINANCIAL DETAILS The value of the contract is $140,000 plus applicable taxes. Funding for this project will be made available through Federation of Canadian Municipalities Municipal Green Fund, the Region of Peel and the Greater Toronto Airports Authority.

58 TO: FROM: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #4/10, June 4, 2010 Carolyn Woodland, Director, Planning and Development Item EX9.1 RE: COXWELL SANITARY TRUNK SEWER EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN KEY ISSUE Update on the City of Toronto's Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer Emergency Response Plan. RECOMMENDATION THAT the City of Toronto staff presentation on the Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer Emergency Response Plan be received; AND FURTHER THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff report on the TRCA-City of Toronto Planning and Permitting Protocol be received. BACKGROUND The Coxwell sewer was built over 50 years ago to handle the sewage of people living in the centre of the City of Toronto. It is 4.8 kilometres in length, and today, handles the sewage of 750,000 residents. In late 2008, cracks, spalls and vertical displacement in the concrete pipe were discovered by a robotic camera. The cracks are located beneath Barbara Crescent, north of Coxwell Avenue and O Connor Drive. If the pipe was to break or collapse in this location, its contents would spill into the Don River causing contamination. In addition, should the sewer crack or break, the ground above could settle, resulting in property damage to the homes and roads located near Barbara Crescent and Coxwell Avenue. At Authority Meeting #11/08, held on January 30, 2009, TRCA advised the board that it was working with City of Toronto staff on the required emergency response plan. At this meeting, Resolution #A314/08 was approved as follows: WHEREAS a very large sanitary sewer, known as the Coxwell trunk, in the City of Toronto is showing signs of structural instability; AND WHEREAS the City of Toronto is looking at all possible options for repair or replacement of the damaged section of pipe, along with plans to twin the sewer in accordance with the Wet Weather Flow Management Master Plan; AND WHEREAS failure of the existing pipe could result in the diversion of sanitary sewage to the Don River if alternative measures to contain the flow are not in place; AND WHEREAS the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) wants to ensure that every effort is made to contain the flows and avoid any diversion to the Don River, but recognizes that an emergency response plan must be in place to deal with any diversion that might occur should the pipe fail before a replacement mechanism for the damaged section of pipe can be put in place; 62

59 THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA requests the City of Toronto to take every possible action to protect the Don River from any possible sewage overflows; THAT the Chief Administrative Officer be authorized to approve Ontario Regulation 166/06 permits to the City of Toronto for the Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer to facilitate an emergency overflow, a new section of sewer to bypass the damaged section, and any emergency repairs and other works associated with the implementation of an emergency response plan to deal with diversion, treatment and cleanup of any sewage flows to the Don River and Harbour, should that become necessary between Executive Committee meetings; THAT the City of Toronto be requested to proceed with the twinning of the Coxwell trunk as soon as possible as part of the City's comprehensive plan to reduce the frequency and severity of combined sewer overflows; THAT City of Toronto staff be requested to present the Emergency Response Plan to the Authority once developed; AND FURTHER THAT regular updates be provided to the Authority regarding the Emergency Response Plan and any measures undertaken. TRCA Permitting Requirements The City's Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer: Emergency & Contingency Planning For Preparation And Permanent Works (CSTS-EMWG) includes a number of contingency and permanent measures to ensure that the sewer is secured or, if a spill is to occur, it is managed. The City has worked with a number of agencies, including TRCA, to ensure their mandates are satisfied. TRCA recognizes that protecting human health is the main concern in the event of a sewer spill to the Don River. Short-term and long-term containment of wastewater flowing in the Coxwell STS is key. Thus, TRCA sees all measures to contain the wastewater prior to it reaching the Inner Harbour area should be seen as a priority of the City of Toronto. It is TRCA s role to ensure that the design and construction of the emergency preparation work projects will mitigate, to the extent possible, all negative impacts to the Don River watershed and the Inner Harbour of Lake Ontario in accordance with TRCA's legislation. In order to satisfy TRCA s concerns, the City has been working with TRCA Conservation Lands and Property Services and Environmental Assessment Planning sections to secure the appropriate approvals. Due to the complexity of the permitting issues, TRCA and the City have developed a framework for these approvals. TRCA review is focused on five components of the CSTS-EMWG: 1. Managed Release Plan Should the Coxwell STS break, TRCA is working with the City to ensure that a containment and cleanup strategy for the Don River and Keating Channel is in place so as to limit the amount of untreated sewage that could reach the Inner Harbour. TRCA has issued a Letter of Advice for the installation of protective devices in anticipation of a spill. No permits were required. 63

60 2. Temporary Pumped Bypass Solution As part of the Managed Release Plan, a temporary outfall from the Coxwell Sewer to the Don River has been constructed in order to minimize potential spill impacts to the Don Valley flood plain, Taylor Massy Creek and the East Don River. TRCA was not involved in the review of plans for the outfall and did not issue permits. 3. Permanent Bypass Solution TRCA is currently reviewing plans for a permanent bypass solution of the section of pipe which is cracked in order to eliminate the risk of spill from the Coxwell STS to the Don River in the future. See below for details specific to this part of the project. 4. Contingency Treatment Elements Emergency remedial works of manholes, stream crossings and route access through the valley corridor is being evaluated by City staff. TRCA is working with the City to ensure that all required works are constructed in a timely manner. TRCA has received permit applications, reviewed preliminary plans and conducted site visits for many of these works. To date, no permits have been issued. 5. Significant In-stream Works In the event of a spill, significant instream works will be required to clean up the Don River and the surrounding valleylands. TRCA has provided significant baseline information, and is working with the City to ensure that an effective plan is developed. To date, TRCA staff has not been involved in the review of any detailed plans or permit applications. TRCA is continuing to work with the City to ensure requirements for accessing or acquiring TRCA property are satisfied, Ontario Regulation 166/06 permits are obtained, and the requirements of TRCA's Level 3 Agreement with Fisheries and Oceans Canada for approvals under Section 35(2) of the Fisheries Act are satisfied. The City has also had separate interactions with the Provincial Ontario Ministry of the Environment and the federal government (Fisheries and Oceans Canada) in regard to water quality related legislated mandates. Proposed By-Pass Solution The City has approved the Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer: Emergency & Contingency Planning For Preparation And Permanent Works. This plan proposes that a new section of pipe be constructed to permanently bypass and secure the damaged section of sewer. The City has awarded the contract to build the permanent bypass to McNally Construction Inc. TRCA staff has met with City staff and their consultants to review the preliminary project details and has conducted a site visit, although no permit application has been formally submitted to date. The permanent bypass will start adjacent to the parking lot of Taylor Creek Park and will be tunneled through the ravine, reconnecting to the existing sewer at the intersection of Coxwell Boulevard and O Connor Drive, downstream from the damaged section. This route was chosen because it is the shortest, and will involve the least property encroachment, surface disturbance and traffic disruption. 64

61 Tunneling will begin in Taylor Creek Park, 8.5 metres below the surface in June The tunneling will end at Coxwell and O Connor, 42 metres below the surface. Similar to other large tunneling projects in the TRCA s jurisdiction, the tunnel boring machine will be inserted into the entry shaft. As it moves, the excavated materials will be removed through the entry shaft, and the tunnel will be built using precast concrete segments. Tunneling will be performed using an earth pressure balance machine and will not require dewatering. The machine will be removed at the exit shaft. Once the new pipe is ready, it will be connected to the existing pipe at the entry and exit shafts. Chambers will be constructed around the existing pipe in the entry and exit shafts. The exit pipe inside these structures will be removed in sections and prefabricated pipe bends will be installed and the flow re-routed under live flow conditions. Future Studies Once the permanent bypass is in operation, the City will determine repair methodologies for the damaged section of the Coxwell STS, which include repairing or decommissioning. The City is also continuing with the Don River and Central Waterfront Project Study, initiated in 2008, as an Environmental Assessment (EA) which is examining options for addressing capacity, redundancy and security issues for the Coxwell STS. The City is consulting with TRCA on this EA.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The proposal is to interfere with a wetland to facilitate the removal of vegetation and installation of temporary erosion and sediment controls in preparation for the construction of a residential subdivision. The site is located on the west side of Tillings Road, south and west of Brock Road and Taunton Road in the City of Pickering. The site is not located within the valley corridor but includes shallow wetlands identified in the TRCA's regulatory mapping. The subdivision is part of the proposed Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. The neighbourhood was subject to a municipal Official Plan Amendment and an on-going Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) process which addressed issues such as overall protection and enhancement of the natural heritage system as well as water management. The Draft Plan of Subdivision has been approved with conditions. As part of the planning process, an additional approximately 38 hectares of lands formerly identified for development within the Duffin Heights neighbourhood were protected as part of the natural heritage system to mitigate the impacts from those remaining lands that will be developed. This site has for many years been designated for development in the City of Pickering Official Plan. As such, when the MESP was reviewed, compensation for the loss of shallow wetland habitat and vegetation on this site and others was made a requirement of approvals. The compensation will take place on public lands currently cleared and used for agriculture and formerly slated for development. The owner shall be required to provide the cost of compensation to the City of Pickering prior to release of the permit. In addition, a monitoring program funded by the developer group is required. Similarly, the owner's proportionate share of the cost of the monitoring program shall be provided to TRCA prior to the release of the permit.

113 Proposal: The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a commercial building and associated parking and landscaping on a vacant parcel of land. The subject lands are located within an approved subdivision adjacent to a valley corridor on the Oak Ridges Moraine in the Town of Richmond Hill. Please be advised that associated with this application, the applicant has worked with TRCA Property Staff to gain permission to enter TRCA lands to site grade and to complete an extensive enhancement planting plan. Through the subdivision process TRCA Staff staked the limits of the valley corridor however, our 10 metre buffer requirement was not incorporated into the plan. The subject lands are characterized by gradually sloping topography with an approximate 2.5 metre grade differential between Yonge Street and the rear (westerly property line). In order to match the grades at Yonge Street, the applicant initially proposed a 3 (three) tier armourstone retaining wall along the property line abutting the TRCA lands to the rear of the site. However, TRCA policy does not support the use of retaining walls adjacent to valley corridors as they typically require regular maintenance and repair, and limit and impact upon adjacent uses. As such, TRCA staff met with the applicant in order to discuss development options that included the elimination of the proposed retaining structure and providing a vegetated buffer in order to mitigate the impacts of development on the valley lands to the rear of the site. It is recognized that the site is significantly constrained given the size of the site and the fixed access points off of Townwood Road and Yonge Street. As such, TRCA staff have worked with the applicant in order to create a development concept that better meets the objectives of TRCA s VSCMP. In this regard, the applicant has provided plans showing small-scale fill placement on TRCA owned lands to the rear of the subject lands in order to provide for a naturalized stable slope which will be extensively planted with native and non-invasive species to provide an ecological net gain. Control of Flooding: Please be advised that the subject site is located outside of the Regulatory Floodplain, as such no impacts to the conveyance and/or storage of floodwaters is anticipated. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls (i.e., silt fence) will be installed and maintained during all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns associated with this application. However, the applicant has submitted a geotechnical report illustrating that the proposed slopes on TRCA lands are stable. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this application. 117

The permit will be issued for the period of June 4, 2010 to June 3, The documents and plans which form part of this permit will be listed in a separate report RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 120

117 Proposal: The purpose of this application is to facilitate the realignment of a portion of Spring Creek, a tributary of the Etobicoke Creek Watershed, as part of the development of a residential plan of subdivision in the City of Brampton. TRCA recently approved permits at the November 6, 2009 Executive Committee meeting and May 7, 2010 Executive Committee meeting for the grading and servicing works associated with Phases 1, 2 and 3 of the associated development. The tributary to be realigned as part of this application flows in a southeasterly direction through the subdivision lands from Sandalwood Parkway west of the Highway 410 to Great Lakes Drive east of Highway 410. The tributary has historically been modified through agricultural activities and is presently an altered, ill-defined system. The subject property is located within the Sandringham-Wellington Secondary Plan area in the City of Brampton. The associated Draft Plan of Subdivision was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on November 18, TRCA staff provided conditions of approval for this subdivision that were included in the in the OMB decision. The valley corridor block width and realignment were approved in principle through this process. The proposed conditions will include the restoration of the corridor utilizing current fluvial geomorphic principles and the establishment of a vegetated 47 metre wide corridor. The tributary will be enhanced through the construction of a dynamically stable channel that includes offline wetlands, riffle-pool sequences, etc. The construction of the realigned channel will utilize effective erosion and sediment controls to minimize the effect and duration of channel disturbance and potential disturbance to fish habitat. An updated hydraulic analysis has been submitted in support of this application. TRCA Water Resources staff have approved this analysis and there are no flooding concerns with this application. In addition, there are no ecology or geotechnical concerns with this application. A comprehensive planting plan for the proposed channel works has been reviewed and approved by TRCA staff. Control of Flooding: The proposed channel works will occur in the Regional Storm Floodplain, however based on this revised design and TRCA review, no permanent modifications to the storage and conveyance of stream and storm flows are anticipated. 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. 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, and a monitoring program - in accordance with DFO and TRCA requirements will be required. 121

Specifically, the valley land enhancement plan that was a requirement of the MESP, requires the following elements be included in the enhancement planting plan: (a) plantings to enhance oxbow ponds; (b) establishment of woodland habitat patches through valley lands; (c) habitat for different wildlife groups; and, (d) native shrubs and trees to provide food source for birds and mammals. It is our understanding that the developers for these lands have entered into a satisfactory arrangement with the City of Brampton with regard to the implementation and funding of these enhancement planting works. This application is intended to implement and achieve the MESP enhancement planting requirements and objectives. 128

125 The proposed trail pathway involves two (2) watercourse crossings. The trail pathway has been aligned in an effort to reduce the number of watercourse crossings. As well, the location of the crossings have been strategically determined in that the pedestrian bridge abutments are located outside the meander belt and the 100-year erosion limit of the watercourse. Lastly, the bridge crossings have been designed in an effort to protect the physical and ecological function of the watercourse. Control of Flooding: Although the majority of the trail system is located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, a hydraulic analysis was completed for the proposed conditions. In addition, the proposed trail system construction is intended to maintain existing grades within the valley corridor. As such, TRCA staff does not anticipate any adverse impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters as result of construction. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed and maintained throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns associated with this application. A Letter of Advice (LOA) on behalf of Fisheries and Canada (DFO) will be issued with this permit. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. As noted above, an extensive enhancement planting plan has been submitted with this application and will implement the requirements and objectives established in the approved MESP for this area. Plantings All proposed plant species are native and non-invasive consistent with TRCA's guidelines. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is in conformity with Section New Resource-based Uses and Section Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).
