2 EMS Process Ecological Inventory Ecological Assessment Management Policy Recommendations Complete Complete DRAFT Consultation Council Endorsement EMS guiding 2010 OCP 11/06/2008
3 11/06/2008 EMS - Green Infrastructure Mapping
4 Vegetation Inventory Results Vegetation classifications Naturalness of vegetation 18% Modified 41% 7% 1% 28% 5% Forest Shrubland Herbaceous Sparse Vegetation Unvegetated Not mapped 41% 1% 11% 11% 26% 10% Semi-modified Semi-natural Mainly natural Natural Not mapped Note: 59% of Surrey mapped in vegetation inventory. Urban areas not mapped, except for parks, greenways and other significant features. 11/06/2008
5 11/06/2008 Hubs in Northeast Surrey
6 11/06/2008 Hubs & Corridors in Northeast Surrey
7 Comparison of ESAs with EMS High/ Medium/ Low ESA replaced by EMS Management Areas 11/06/ ESA 2010 EMS
8 Components of the EMS: HUBS > 10 ha. size High & Moderate Naturalness rating Provide origin, destination for wildlife Anchors of the Green Network Examples: Large natural parks and reserves (City, Regional) Riparian areas Inter-tidal and foreshore areas Large complexes of private / public land holdings First Nations Reserve lands Escarpments 11/06/2008
9 Components of the EMS: SITES <10 ha. Size; Moderate & High Naturalness rating; Smaller, but important natural areas; Stepping Stones wildlife/ecological processes; Examples: Greenways Community parks Large private holdings Remnant wooded areas Riparian areas 11/06/2008
10 Components of the EMS: CORRIDORS Most natural connections between Hubs, Sites Most feasible potential links between Hubs, Sites Provide current or potential movement corridors Support the ecological function of Hubs and Sites Width, exact location TBD Examples: Greenways Rights of Way (Hydro corridors, etc.) Riparian links Green streets Drainage corridors 11/06/2008
11 Components of the EMS: THE MATRIX Remaining Urban / Modified lands Varying degrees of naturalness, ecological function Opportunities for green development, restoration Examples: Green roofs Green streets Surface drainage ways & permeable paving Replanting of trees, shrubs Backyard gardens / Boulevard plantings 11/06/2008
12 Types of Green Infrastructure Parks FLORA Urban Forests Conservation Areas Buffer Areas Green Ways 1 NATURAL Ponds Lakes AQUATIC Swamps Aquifers GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE BUILDINGS Green Roofs Green Walls 2 ENGINEERED ENGINEERED GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE LANDSCAPES Bioretention/Bioswales Green Streets Rain Gardens Native Vegetation Street Trees Soil Retention STREAMS Rivers Brooks Creeks SOILS Nutrients Minerals HARDSCAPE Permeable Surfaces / Pavements Perforated Pipes & Outflow Inlets WATER Condensate Harvesting Rain Harvesting Grey Water Harvesting Passive Irrigation
13 Benefits of EMS (Riparian corridor) (Identify Opportunities for Green Infrastructure) Recognizes the dynamic nature of ecosystems; Opportunities flagged for environmental studies before development process; Flags opportunities to create corridors between hubs; Recognizes the ecological value of urban green infrastructure
14 Benefits of EMS Vegetation Inventory Holistic/Flexible management options to protecting ecological function; Allows for ecological enhancement over time; Preservation and development planned in harmony, not in opposition. Naturalness Rating
15 Hubs & Corridors Vegetation Inventory Secondary Land Use Plans (NCPs) Informs more detailed NCP Environmental Studies (Hubs/Sites/Links); Road network considerations; Parks & Natural Area acquisition priorities; Environmental compensation areas; Linkages to a city wide GIN; Consistent city wide inventory & evaluation criteria. ANNIEDALE-TYNEHEAD NCP
16 Development Application Process Tree Preservation Density Bonus / Density Transfer; Cluster/Open Space development; Tree preservation priorities; Engineered GI in key locations; Site naturalization opportunities; Special setback requirements; Conservation easements; Alternative green design.
17 Guide Environmental Asset Management Guides Natural Area Park and greenways acquisition strategy; Parks and greenways management strategies Environmental assets inventory; Alternative drainage & Engineering strategies; Guide Biodiversity planning and restoration work.

19 9 Proposed Strategies for Ecosystem Management in Surrey 1. Raise public and development community awareness of Ecosystem values; 2. Protected Core areas of key remaining large natural (hubs) in sufficient scale to be refuges of biodiversity; 3. Link hubs and sites together; 4. naturescape general urban matrix; 5. Manage landscapes for stormwater, control sediment, limit erosion, and promote tree cover;
20 9 Proposed Strategies for Ecosystem Management in Surrey 6. Maintain Agricultural Lands, both cultivated and fallow, ensuring a strong contribution to biodiversity; 7. Provide governmental leadership to protect, enhance and restore the GIN; 8. Incorporate protection and restoration of ecosystems into the planning and development processes. 9. Facilitate a fair and equitable distribution of costs and benefits when managing ecosystems.
