47 TO: FROM: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #7/12, September 7, 2012 Deborah Martin-Downs, Director, Ecology Item EX7.9 RE: STORMWATER MANAGEMENT CRITERIA DOCUMENT KEY ISSUE Approval of Stormwater Management Criteria Document and next steps to facilitate its implementation. RECOMMENDATION THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Stormwater Management Criteria Document (August 2012) prepared by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) be approved; THAT staff be directed to disseminate the final document to municipal staff, the development industry and other agencies through technical meetings and a posting on the TRCA and Sustainable Technologies Evaluation Program websites; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to apply the stormwater criteria presented in the document to all new development applications. BACKGROUND Effective management of stormwater is critical to the health of our streams, rivers, lakes, fisheries and terrestrial habitats. The practice of managing stormwater continues to evolve as the science of watershed management and understanding of our watersheds grow. TRCA has been involved in integrated watershed planning and monitoring activities for many years, and the results of this work have revealed that the health of a watershed declines with increasing urbanization. This deterioration has occurred despite widespread adoption of conventional stormwater management approaches that rely heavily on end-of-pipe practices such as detention ponds. Recent watershed studies have concluded that supplementing conventional approaches with low impact development (LID) practices is essential to protect watershed health and improve resiliency to anticipated impacts of climate change. In 2010, TRCA published the Low Impact Development Stormwater Management Planning and Design Guide (LID Guide) as a tool to help developers, consultants, municipalities and landowners understand and implement site and conveyance stormwater practices. At Authority Meeting #3/09, held on April 24, 2009, staff received approval to finalize and disseminate the LID Guide. The LID Guide presented a new paradigm of stormwater management (SWM) aimed at improving watershed health through the implementation of Low Impact Development, a strategy that seeks to maintain natural water balance and mitigate the impacts of increased runoff and stormwater pollution. LID consists of a set of site design approaches and small scale stormwater practices that promote the use of natural systems for infiltration, evapotranspiration and reuse of rainwater. These practices can effectively remove nutrients, pathogens and metals from stormwater, and they reduce the volume and intensity of stormwater flows. Examples of LID practices include permeable pavement, rainwater cisterns and greenroofs. 47

48 In order to have LID better integrated into SWM plans for new development, at Authority Meeting #3/09, held on April 24, 2009, TRCA approved the development of a SWM Criteria Document, as per Resolution #A45/09, in part, as follows: THAT staff be directed to develop a stormwater management criteria document, in consultation with municipal, provincial and other interested stakeholders, that presents an integrated set of stormwater management criteria (flood protection, water quality control, erosion control, water balance) which may be used to select and size stormwater management practices presented in the Low Impact Development Stormwater Management Manual; AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Authority when the draft stormwater management criteria document has been developed. Staff began work on the Criteria Document shortly after the Authority meeting in Since then, staff has continued to review and approve SWM plans for new development. In some cases the updated criteria which encourages the use of LID have already been implemented as a best management approach in many new plans and community site designs in order to prevent increases in flood risk, better manage baseflow characteristics, prevent stream erosion and preserve water quality. Based on experience to date, the updated criteria can result in modest changes to site planning approaches, many of which can save costs and enhance the green infrastructure of a new development. The document was developed in consultation with all municipalities in TRCA s jurisdiction, the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE), the Building, Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) and Credit Valley Conservation Authority (CVC). A final workshop was held on April 26, 2012 with these organizations where the Stormwater Criteria Document was presented in detail. After the workshop, comments were received and addressed over that past four months. In summary, TRCA's municipal partners and MOE supported the document with minor edits to ensure that the document was consistent with municipal and provincial stormwater guidelines and criteria. Comments received from BILD focused on ensuring that the criteria presented in the document were practical and achievable. TRCA met with BILD on August 22nd and 27th, 2012 to go over their comments in detail and changes were made to the document to allow for more flexibility while not compromising on the necessary criteria for SWM. It is important to note that many of the criteria and best management practices promoted in the document are already requirements of many TRCA municipalities (eg. City of Toronto, Town of Ajax) and have been imbeded in municipal official plans (eg. City of Toronto, York Region, Peel Region, City of Vaughan). The final document is available to download at A few hard copies will be available at the meeting and additional copies will be made available upon request. 48

49 RATIONALE The practice of managing stormwater is continuing to evolve as the science of watershed management and understanding of our watersheds grow. Effective management of stormwater is critical to the continued health of our streams, rivers, lakes, fisheries and terrestrial habitats. In simple terms, precipitation that lands on the ground surface is distributed in several directions. Some of the water infiltrates the ground (infiltration), some of it runs off the surface (runoff), and much of the remainder either evaporates or is consumed by plants (evapotranspiration). This is referred to as the water cycle. In natural settings, the presence of vegetation and the lack of hard surfaces define this distribution such that a relatively small part of the rainfall produces runoff. In built communities, the introduction of hard surfaces and the reduction in vegetated cover alter this proportion such that significantly more runoff is generated, and less water is taken up by evapotranspiration from natural vegetation or makes its way into the ground to naturally recharge our streams, wetlands and groundwater resources. During storm events, the increase in surface runoff usually generated by our communities can result in flooding and erosive damage to our streams and structures. In addition, human activity produces pollution, which in combination with the increased runoff can degrade the quality of our water resources. Together these by-products of urbanization also degrade our natural heritage systems, and can cause hydrological, water quality and ecological impacts to natural heritage features. The Stormwater Management Criteria Document was developed to provide guidance in the planning and design of stormwater management infrastructure for developers, consultants, municipalities and landowners, and outlines the processes and infrastructure (both LID and conventional SWM practices) needed to mitigate the impacts of urbanization on the natural water cycle to: prevent any increases in flooding; protect water quality; preserve groundwater and baseflow characteristics; prevent in-stream erosion; and, maintain an appropriate diversity of terrestrial and aquatic habitat and opportunities for human uses. The design criteria presented in the document includes sections on: water quantity (flood protection); water quality; erosion control; water balance (for both groundwater recharge and protection of natural features); and, SWM practices. The following provides a brief summary of each of the sections in the document and highlights the directions being proposed, including changes from previous guidance. 49

50 Water Quantity (Flood Control) Water quantity in stormwater management, refers to the control of flood flows created by stormwater. Development is required to address water quantity in order to protect downstream properties from flood increases due to upstream development. Typically, watercourses in urban watersheds are characterized by fast or flashy responses to rainfall events due to higher amounts of impervious area that increase the volume and frequency of stormwater surface flows. Controlling flood flows for the and Regional design storm events as outlined in the Stormwater Management Criteria Document seeks to ensure that new development does not increase the risk of flooding downstream. This criteria has been standard practice for decades and has undergone very little change in this document. The only addition is identifying the need to also analyze and potentially mitigate the impacts of urbanization on Regional flood (Hurricane Hazel) flows for large development proposals. Traditionally stormwater flows have only been managed to the 100 year level, as impacts on Regional Storm flows were considered minor due to soil saturation and watershed hydrological timing. Recent hydrological modelling completed by TRCA has found that as urbanization continues further from Lake Ontario, in the headwater areas, there is a potential that flood risks downstream can increase for the Regional storm event. TRCA is currently leading an initiative through Conservation Ontario which is examining this issue in more detail and will be developing options for mitigation with input from the Ministry of Natural Resources and other conservation authorities experiencing the same problem. Results from this initiative will be completed in mid 2013 and a summary report to the Authority will be prepared. Water Quality In addition to affecting the distribution of water quantity in the different components of the water cycle, urbanization adversely impacts the quality of the rainfall once it comes into contact with the ground surface and associated features. As storm runoff travels across roofs, parking lots and other hardened surfaces, a variety of contaminants and pollutants accumulate, which are ultimately conveyed to receiving watercourses. The loss of the original vegetation and topsoil eliminates a valuable filtering mechanism for storm runoff. The Stormwater Management Criteria Document seeks to ensure that new development does not increase pollutants entering receiving water bodies through the implementation of a combination of source and conveyance controls, commonly referred to as LID, and conventional end of pipe facilities, such as SWM ponds that promote filtration and pollutant removal. This criteria is based on an Enhanced Level of Protection (80% TSS (total suspended solids) removal) as described in the MOE Stormwater Planning and Design Manual (2003) which has been a requirement since Traditionally, the water quality criteria has been addressed through the construction of SWM ponds as the only means of achieving the criteria. TRCA's new SWM Criteria document provides a method to achieve this criteria using LID and highlights the added benefits of LID in mitigating thermal impacts of stormwater to protect sensitive fish habitat such as Redside Dace and Trout. 50

51 Erosion Control The urbanization of a watershed has a direct impact on the morphology, or physical shape and character, of the local receiving watercourses. For example, in order to accommodate the increased volume and velocity of surface runoff, widening and undercutting of the receiving watercourse can occur, in turn causing banks to slump and fail during severe storms. In addition, the bed of the watercourse may change due to sediment covering the natural substrate with shifting deposits of mud, silt and sand, thereby affecting aquatic habitat. Further, downcutting of the channel bed creates instability which can lead to increases in the velocity of stream flow and erosion both upstream and downstream. Finally, loss of riparian tree canopy cover results from the constant undercutting and failure of the stream banks, exposing tree roots and other woody vegetation that would otherwise serve to stabilize the banks of the watercourse. TRCA s erosion control criterion, as outlined in the Stormwater Management Criteria Document details how erosion must be mitigated using acceptable SWM practices based on development area, size and character of the receiving watercourse. The SWM criteria document provides a new direction in mitigating erosion potential through managing both stormwater volumes and flows using a combination of source and conveyance controls, commonly referred to as LID, and conventional end of pipe facilities such as SWM ponds that promote volume and peak flow reductions. Traditionally erosion control has been achieved using only conventional strategies such as SWM ponds by managing stormwater flows. Current research and monitoring completed by the TRCA recommends stormwater volumes be managed as well to mitigate erosion potential. Water Balance (Groundwater Recharge and Natural Features) Alteration of the water cycle due to urbanization can harm natural features that are sensitive to changes in hydrology such as watercourses, wetlands and woodlands, and reduce the amount of rainfall available to recharge groundwater and sustain aquifers where appropriate. The Stormwater Management Criteria Document outlines where in TRCA s jurisdiction infiltration is required to sustain groundwater resources and baseflow and provides guidance on designing stormwater management systems that protect hydrologically sensitive natural features. The SWM criteria has now been updated to emphasize the importance of minimizing the impacts of development and urbanization on the water cycle through a "water balancing" methodology, which will inherently mitigate impacts associated with flood risk, water quality, erosion, groundwater recharge and the related impacts to natural heritage features. SWM Practices There are numerous combinations of SWM practices that can be incorporated into a new development to achieve the above-noted criteria. The SWM Criteria Document references the Ministry of the Environment s Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual (MOE 2003), TRCA s Low Impact Development Stormwater Management Planning and Design Guide (TRCA/CVC 2010) and various municipal SWM guidelines for design guidance. Traditionally, the impacts of urbanization on stormwater has been mitigated through the implementation of SWM ponds as the only means of treatment. The Stormwater Management Criteria Document emphasizes the importance of the treatment train approach to SWM, which consists of treating stormwater at the source, conveyance and at end-of-pipe using a combination of innovative site design strategies and SWM practices. For example, LID practices such as bioswales can be used at source and in the conveyance system to meet water quality and water balance objectives while a downstream dry detention basin can be used to meet flood control objectives. 51

52 DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE TRCA staff will take the following steps to finalize and implement the Stormwater Management Criteria Document: disseminate the Stormwater Management Criteria Document to municipal staff, the development industry and other agencies through technical meetings and an communication to municipal engineering departments, MOE and BILD; posting of the document on the TRCA and Sustainable Technologies Evaluation Program websites; and continue applying the document through the plan input and review process to new development applications.

68 TO: FROM: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #7/12, September 7, 2012 Brian Denney, Chief Administrative Officer Item EX8.5 RE: RECORDS STORAGE FACILITY SERVICES Contract CAO12-01 KEY ISSUE Award of Contract CAO12-01 for offsite storage of records. RECOMMENDATION THAT Contract CAO12-01 be awarded to Iron Mountain Canada Corp. at an estimated cost of $20, per year for five years, for a total cost not to exceed $100,000.00, plus 10% contingency to be expended as authorized by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff, plus HST, with an option to renew for an additional two years at a rate equivalent to increases in the Consumer Price Index, it being the lowest bid meeting TRCA specifications; THAT the contract be subject to terms and conditions satisfactory to TRCA staff and, as necessary, solicitor; AND FURTHER THAT authorized officials be directed to take the necessary action to implement the contract including the signing and execution of documents. BACKGROUND The TRCA's records program has been in existence since Through those years, TRCA has accumulated a substantial number of records. Many of the records currently in heavy usage are stored in Central Filing at Head Office, while seldom accessed records have been stored at off-site storage facilities operated by independent records management companies since Securit is TRCA's current vendor for storage of records, with the seven year contract ending in November, TRCA utilizes an electronic document and records management system to try to reduce the requirement for physical storage of records and to expedite retrieval of records. RATIONALE Request for Quotations (RFQ) were issued to the following five storage providers in the Greater Toronto Area: FileBank Professional Services; Iron Mountain Canada Corp.; Recall; Recordxpress; Securit Records Management. Three RFQ's were received by the closing deadline of 12:00 p.m. on July 26, 2012, and were opened on July 30, 2012 by TRCA staff (Kathy Stranks, Lesia Korobaylo and Angelica Dancel) with the following results: 68

69 Contract #CAO Records Storage Facility Services Bidder Estimated Cost Per Year * (Plus HST) Filebank Professional Services $21, Iron Mountain Canada Corp. $15, RecordXpress $18, Recall No Bid Securit Records Management No Bid * Costs are based on storage, retrieval and destruction quantities incurred by TRCA over the past year. The estimated total value of $20,000/year plus 10% contingency in the recommendation is to allow for fluctuations in TRCA's requirements. Staff contacted Securit on a couple occasions between July 26 and August 9, 2012 to determine why they chose not to respond to the RFQ, and as of the date of this staff report has not received a response. Bids were reviewed on August 13, 2012 by TRCA staff (Kathy Stranks, Chris Gerstenkorn and Lesia Korobaylo). Based on the review, staff recommends that Contract CAO12-01 for Records Storage Facility Services be awarded to Iron Mountain Canada Corp., it being the lowest bid meeting TRCA specifications. The Iron Mountain location where documents will be stored is located approximately 5 km from TRCA's Head Office, where TRCA's Corporate Records section is located, which provides for quick retrieval of files if required and allows for the lowest environmental impact of the respondents. In addition, Iron Mountain provided the best response in terms of their environmental and sustainability initiatives being undertaken corporately. Iron Mountain has been in existence since 1951 as a global leader in information management services. TRCA has used the services of Iron Mountain in the past. Although some problems existed with Iron Mountain with errors in refiling documents, staff believes these problems to be consistent across the industry and can be limited through dialogue with Iron Mountain staff, their enhanced records management systems since TRCA last used their services, and as TRCA's use of its electronic document management system is expanded. FINANCIAL DETAILS The estimated value of the contract is $20,000 per year for five years, for a total not to exceed $100,000, plus 10% contingency, plus HST. Iron Mountain has agreed to lock-in pricing for the five years of the contract, and TRCA has the option for a two year renewal, with any rate increases to be based on any increases in the Consumer Price Index. Iron Mountain will absorb the total cost of the transfer, including permanent withdrawal fees, from Securit. 69

RECOMMENDATION THAT Corporate Express Canada/Staples Advantage Canada be identified as the vendor of record for the supply of office supplies for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) purposes until March 31, 2015 be awarded to Corporate at a cost not to exceed $100,000.00, plus HST, as it is the lowest bidder meeting specifications. BACKGROUND TRCA has purchased its office supplies for years from Corporate Express in a tendering process. Corporate Express was purchased by Staples Canada in Typical office requirements include pens, markers, staples/staplers, sticky notes, etc. City of Toronto completed a competitive process for the supply of office supplies and awarded the contract to Corporate Express Canada/Staples Advantage Canada until March 31, Many of the items on the City agreement are purchased by TRCA, while others are not. TRCA staff successfully negotiated discounted prices for those additional items below standard catalogue pricing. As a result, staff recommends that Corporate Express Canada/Staples Advantage Canada be identified as the vendor of record for supply of office supplies as they provided the lowest bid from the City of Toronto tendering process that meets both City of Toronto and TRCA specifications. By participating with the City of Toronto contract, TRCA is able to achieve significant savings due to the buying power of the City. FINANCIAL DETAILS The cost of TRCA office supply purchases over approximately the next 2.5 years until March 31, 2015 is estimated to be $100,000 plus HST. This agreement will be shared with other TRCA offices for greater savings.

72 TO: FROM: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #7/12, September 7, 2012 Nick Saccone, Director, Restoration Services Item EX8.7 RE: FRENCHMAN S BAY HARBOUR ENTRANCE PROJECT Sole Source Contract PMO12-14 KEY ISSUE Award of contract PMO12-14 for professional engineering services to finalize detailed design for Frenchman s Bay Harbour Entrance Project in the City of Pickering. RECOMMENDATION THAT Contract PMO12-14 be awarded to Shoreplan Engineering Limited (Shoreplan) for professional engineering services to finalize detailed design for the Frenchman s Bay Harbour Entrance Project in the City of Pickering, at a total cost not to exceed $65,300.00, plus 20% contingency, plus HST. 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 In 2008, the City of Pickering working in partnership with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), initiated the Frenchman s Bay Harbour Entrance Class Environmental Assessment (EA). The purpose of this project is to create a safe harbour entrance that supports the marine function of the Bay, while preserving or enhancing the ecological conditions. The project will also provide opportunities to improve public use and recreation, environmental sustainability, enhance tourism and commercial linkages. As part of the Class EA process, Shoreplan was retained by TRCA to undertake a coastal engineering study and conceptual design. In 2009, Shoreplan submitted their final report, which included a detailed assessment of coastal conditions at the site, the development of alternative concepts for the harbour entrance, refinement of a preferred alternative and detailed design. Since the completion of the Class EA, TRCA and City of Pickering staff have proposed a number of amendments to the original detailed design to ensure compliance with regulatory approvals, to finalize construction specifications and to ensure project implementation costs are within the approved budget. In addition, a qualified costal engineer is required to undertake site inspections to ensure construction activities are compliant with the ensuing detailed design. 72

73 RATIONALE In order to proceed to project implementation, TRCA requires a professional coastal engineer to complete detailed design drawings, which address the project constraints mentioned above. Shoreplan provides extensive expertise with over 30 years in coastal engineering on the Great Lakes. In addition, Shoreplan has demonstrated local experience, having participated in nine studies of Frenchman s Bay and through the completion of coastal analyses of three nearby waterfront projects: Meadowcliffe Erosion Control Project, Guildwood Parkway Erosion Control Project (Phase 2) and Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project. Based on Shoreplan's previous involvement in the Frenchman s Bay Harbour Entrance Class EA and extensive knowledge of the local site conditions, TRCA staff recommends that Shoreplan be retained to provide coastal engineering services in support of this project. Staff therefore recommends award of the contract on a sole source basis as per Section of TRCA's Purchasing Policy as follows: The required goods and services are to be supplied by a particular vendor or supplier having special knowledge, skills, expertise or experience that cannot be provided by any other supplier. The Shoreplan work includes: 1. assisting TRCA with finalization of approvals with Transport Canada and Canadian Coast Guard related to navigational markings and lights. 2. providing assistance during the tendering of various components of the project including steel sheet piling, pile driving and dredging. 3. attending periodic site reviews and meetings. Shoreplan will attend one site visit per month by a principal and a staff engineer. 4. providing technical advice and drawing interpretation/clarification as may be required during construction. 5. arranging for Terraprobe Limited to complete a geotechnical investigation to confirm assumed design parameters for the steel sheet pile and support pipe piles. After receiving the geotechnical report, Shoreplan shall review the pile design assumptions, complete necessary calculations and make any necessary modifications to the design drawings. Shoreplan's associated fee structure was compared to past projects of a similar nature and was deemed good value for money. FINANCIAL DETAILS Based on the work described, Shoreplan has submitted a proposal for coastal engineering services for a fixed fee of $65,300.00, plus HST. Funds are available in TRCA s Pickering Harbourfront Restoration (account ) from the City of Pickering.

77 CITY OF BRAMPTON EX10.2 CLAIREVILLE HEIGHTS LIMITED To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure and site grade on Lot 6, 7, Concession 8 ND, 45, 55 and 65 Yorkland Boulevard, in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Claireville Heights Limited - c/o Castleridge Homes. The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a high-rise apartment building with an underground parking garage associated with a municipal official plan amendment application, zoning by-law amendment application and site plan application. The permit will be issued for the period of September 7, 2012 to September 6, 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: Proposal: The purpose of this application is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a twelve-storey, 330 unit apartment building and two levels of underground parking associated with a municipal official plan amendment and zoning by-law amendment application (City File No. C08E07.010) and site plan application (City File No. SP11-066). The subject property is known as 45, 55 and 65 Yorkland Boulevard, located north of Queen Street and east of Goreway Drive at the terminus of Yorkland Boulevard, located in the City of Brampton. Staff understands the Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law amendment application permitting the high-rise apartment building is approved "in-principle" by the City of Brampton Planning, Design and Development Committee and is awaiting final clearance from TRCA. 77

78 The proposed development is the final phase of the Spring Pointe Development. As part of the final phase, this development proposal is considered to be Phase 1 of a three-stage development proposal. In the future, two additional high-rise apartments buildings (12-storey building and 10-storey building) will also be constructed on the subject lands. Additional TRCA permits will be required for the future phases of development. The subject property is located immediately adjacent to lands owned by the TRCA (i.e., Claireville Conservation Area). The lands owned by the TRCA are tablelands located on the west side of The Main Branch of the West Humber River, which are actively farmed. Based on the plans submitted with this application, the proposed underground parking garage is sited in close proximity to the eastern property limit adjacent to Claireville Conservation Area and the applicant requests access to TRCA lands in order to construct the underground parking garage (see Appendix I). As such, the applicant is requesting a 10 m temporary construction/access easement over the TRCA lands. As an adjacent and effected landowner, TRCA staff has an interest and concern with respect to the temporary and permanent encumbrances and impacts upon our lands. It is staff's opinion that an underground parking structure constructed close to the lot line produces an encumbrance on TRCA lands, due to the close proximity of the proposed permanent structure. This is of particular concern to the TRCA, because both environmental buffers and structural setbacks are typically applied to mitigate the impacts upon our adjacent lands. Appropriate buffers and setbacks have not been incorporated into the applicant's design, and therefore, an appropriate and considerable compensation package will be required for any permanent impacts to TRCA lands. Based on discussions with the land owner, the applicant is committed to offer monetary compensation and provide significant restoration and enhancement planting within the Clairevillie Conservation Area for the granting of the temporary easement for the construction of the underground parking garage. The proposed monetary compensation will take place in phases coincident with the phased construction of three (3) high-rise apartment buildings. An appraisal of the subject lands was undertaken by the TRCA Property Section, which is generally consistent with the proposed monetary compensation offered by the applicant. This application pertains to the private lands owned by the applicant only. The proposed temporary construction/access easement requires consideration and approval from TRCA's Authority Board. A Permission to Enter (PTE) and TRCA Archaeology clearance is required for all proposed works on TRCA lands prior to the release of any permits, approval and/or prior to any entry on TRCA lands for any of the works related to this proposed development. Please be advised that TRCA staff are working collaboratively with the applicant in order to bring a future report forward to the TRCA Authority Board and to satisfy the requirements of TRCA Property Section and TRCA's Archeology review. In order to address potential groundwater and hydrogeological concerns associated with the proposed underground parking garage, the proponent conducted borehole investigations which were instrumented with monitoring devices and submitted a geotechnical report that investigates the subsurface conditions. Based on the report submitted, there are no significant groundwater and/or dewatering concerns associated with this project. As noted above, an extensive enhancement and planting plan has been submitted with this application. Given that the proposed plantings are proposed on TRCA lands, the extent of restoration and enhancement planting is currently being negotiated with the applicant and will be dealt with through the future temporary construction/access easement request. 78

79 As part of the earlier Spring Pointe Development, a stormwater management pond was constructed. The existing pond has been designed to treat this development proposal. In order to achieve TRCA's water balance requirements, the development has been designed to retain the first 5 mm of rainfall during a storm event through on-site Low Impact Development (LID) measures such as infiltration trenches and bioswales. Control of Flooding: The subject property is located entirely outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, there are no impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters. 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 project. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. However, an extensive restoration and enhancement planting plan is currently being negotiated with the applicant for the neighbouring TRCA lands. Plantings All proposed plant species will be native and non-invasive consistent with TRCA's planting guidelines. Policy Guidelines: This application is in conformity with Section New Urban Development - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

The purpose is to construct a dog off-leash pathway within High Park. Works will include the construction of a granular trail, staircase and fence. No in-water works are included within the scope of this project. The permit will be issued for the period of September 7, 2012 to September 6, 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: 81

82 Proposal: The City of Toronto is proposing to construct a dog off-leash pathway in order to close an existing trail within a ecologically sensitive area. Works will include the construction of a granular path, prefabricated metal staircase, sub-drainage, retaining wall and fence. The proposed path will be approximately 2.5m wide and will connect two existing trails north and south of the High Park Allotment trails. The trail will be comprised of a 150mm granular based toped with 200mm of compacted granite screening. Two rip-rap drainage outlets are proposed for the subdrains at low points of the trails. A retaining wall will be constructed along the east side of the Allotment Gardens. The wall will be approximately 0.5m high and 17m long. Additionally, fences will run along ether side of the trail to prevent dog's from entering into the adjacent vegetation. To facilitate the proposed alignment nine tree are to be removed. Restoration will be completed through seeding and the planting of a minimum of 58 Flowering Raspberry shrubs. Access to the site will be from an existing pathway that will be outfitted with ground protection measures to minimize impacts to tree roots. Erosion and sediment control measures and tree protection hoarding will be installed prior to the commencement of works. These works are anticipated to be completed during the fall of Control of Flooding: Works are not anticipated to negatively impact flooding, flood storage and the conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Erosion and sediment control measures (silt fence) will be installed prior to construction and maintained for the duration of works, and until the site has been restored and stabilized.

83 EX10.4 GO TRANSIT - A DIVISION OF METROLINX To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade and alter a watercourse on Lot 23, 24, Concession C, (near Weston Road south of Highway 401), in the City of Toronto (Etobicoke York Community Council Area), Humber River Watershed as located on the property owned by Go Transit - A Division of Metrolinx and the Weston Golf and Country Club. The purpose is to construct Section 7 of the Metrolinx/Go Transit Georgetown South Service Expansion and Union-Pearson Rail Link (GSSE-UPRL) project including expansion of the existing single-track rail system over the Humber River Bridge in order to accommodate four rail tracks. During the TPA process for this project, it was established that the expansion of the three in-water piers over the Humber River will constitute a destruction of approximately 129m2 of fish habitat by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and deemed as a Harmful, Alteration, Disruption and Destruction (HADD) under the Federal Fisheries Act. Thus, Metrolinx, with assistance from TRCA has obtained a Fisheries Authorization under Section 35 (2) of the Fisheries Act. The project area includes the existing rail tracks located between Islington Avenue and Weston Road, south of the Highway 401, in Toronto. The permit will be issued for the period of September 7, 2012 to September 6, 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: 83

84 Proposal: The proposal includes the construction of the Section 7 of the proposed Metrolinx/Go Transit Georgetown South Service Expansion and Union-Pearson Rail Link (GSSE-UPRL) which extents between Islington Avenue and Weston Road, south of the Highway 401, in Toronto. This project was identified as part of the Transit Project Assessment (TPA) study for the Metrolinx/Go Transit Georgetown South Expansion Project completed in The purpose of the GSSE-UPRL project is to redevelop the south end of the Georgetown corridor to allow for more train services to meet the increasing GO ridership demand over the next twenty-five (25) years. The expansion will involve the construction of new rail tracks, signals, stations, platforms, bridges and underpasses to accommodate a safe high frequency service system and to provide a new link between Union Station and the Pearson International Airport. This proposal focuses on the Section 7 of the GSSE-UPRL which comprises the Humber River Bridge and the Weston Road and Islington Avenue area will include works associated with the following; Expansion of the single track Humber River Bridge, including eight piers (in water and flood plain) to accommodate the three additional rail tracks; Expansion of the single track west and east embankment to accommodate three additional tracks (14m extension); Replacing and re-routing of an existing 760mm municipal sewer north of Pier Number 5 (including 2 new manholes) and removal of the existing sewer; Construction of a new storm sewer outfall from the Weston Road underpass to the Humber River on the north side of the existing bridge; and, Construction of a new tunnel and approach paths under the west embankment to accommodate the Weston Golf and Country Club golf cart and pedestrian traffic. Construction is anticipated to begin during the spring of 2012 and to conclude by March 2014 in time for the PanAm Games to be held in Toronto in The expansion of the rail system to accommodate three additional tracks to support the planned expansion of rail service between Union Station and the Pearson International Airport will result in the expansion of existing rail bridge piers within the Humber River just east of the Weston Golf and Country Club. Consequently, it was determined by DFO that the associated in-water works will result in the permanent removal of approximately 129m2 of fish habitat while the presence coffer dams within the Humber River during the construction period will constitute the temporary removal of approximately 223m2 of fish habitat. These impacts are deemed by DFO as Harmful, Alteration, Disruption and Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. As such, Metrolinx/Go Transit was required to provide appropriate habitat compensation under the Fisheries Act in order to receive a Federal Fisheries Authorization from DFO. Through ongoing technical discussions with TRCA staff regarding the GSSE-UPRL project, a TRCA project "the Lower Humber River Marshes Costal Wetland" (LHRM) creation project was selected as the preferred compensation option out of several habitat improvement options to be implemented on behalf of Metrolinx/Go Transit to serve as the fisheries compensation for the loss of fish habitat arising from the GSSE-UPRL project. On site restoration will also occur around the immediate area of disturbance on the Humber River once construction is completed. Control of Flooding: TRCA water resources specialist has confirmed that the proposed work will have minimal impacts to the control or the conveyance of flood waters. Since, construction activities associated with expansion of the three in-water piers will occur within the regional flood plain for a period of two years, a Flood Contingency plan has been developed to identify roles and procedures associated with site evacuation and will be implemented when needed during the construction period. Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented prior to the construction commencement and maintained for the duration of works. A detailed erosion and sediment control plan was developed in line with the TRCA's GTA Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction (2006) to be implemented during construction. 84

85 Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: No impacts to slope stability or erosion have been identified with these works. Conservation of Land: To reduce impacts to fish and fisheries resources, construction mitigation and habitat protection measures will be implemented as per DFO Authorization and in line with the approved Erosion and Sediment Control measures. During the two-year construction period, construction activities associated with three in-water piers will occur in flood plain and within the Humber River valley. As such, a Flood Contingency plan has been developed to identify roles and procedures associated with site evacuation and will be implemented when needed during the construction period. This Contingency plan contain measures to remove equipment and other construction materials from the site during specific storm events to help minimize the potential release of deleterious substances into the Humber River. Metrolinx/Go Transit has agreed to monitor the site works to ensure the erosion and sediment control measures implemented are working efficiently during the construction period. Plantings Upon completion of construction, all disturbed areas will be restored and stabilized with native, non-invasive species.

The works described above are required to finalize development of the residential portion of a 59 hectare plan of subdivision known as Beechridge Farms (File No. S-A ). On June 1 of this year, the Executive Committee approved construction of two road crossings of a tributary of the Carruthers Creek within the draft plan of subdivision area. In 2011, the Executive Committee approved a permits for the construction of the permanent stormwater management pond; grading and filling to prepare table lands for development; construction of a temporary sediment control pond; and, a temporary construction access road over the tributary. This permit would facilitate completion of the final grading and infrastructure works for the project, specifically at the northeast quadrant of the site, which is to be developed for residential dwellings. The site is located west of the Carruthers Creek Valleylands and east of Salem Road north of Rossland Road in the northeast portion of the Town of Ajax urban area. The draft plan is composed of several large parcels of land planned for employment uses along Salem Road and a low-density residential area in the northeast quadrant of the site adjacent to the Carruthers Creek valleylands. 90

91 Proposal Includes Stormwater Management Innovation: As part of this development proposal, the applicant has advanced the implementation of Low Impact Development (LID) stormwater management techniques including extensive use of bioswales and exfiltration trenches located adjacent to the Carruthers Creek valleylands. These works will mitigate the hydrological changes to the Carruthers Creek as a result of urbanization of this site by more closely mimicking pre-development drainage patterns. Further, the proposed LID measures will assist in maintaining groundwater and surface water contributions to the adjacent wetlands, while reducing increases in stormwater volumes. Control of Flooding: The proposed stormwater management works have been sited outside of the valley within the buffer blocks so as to have no impact upon the storage and conveyance of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. No grading works are to take place within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. Pollution: Detailed sediment and erosion control plans have been submitted in support of the application to isolate the work area from the adjacent Carruthers Creek valleylands and to carefully stage construction of the low impact development stormwater bioswale and exfiltration swale. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical or slope stability concerns associated with this proposal. Conservation of Land: The proposed works are located outside of the core of the Carruthers Creek valleyland corridor and are located strategically within the environmental buffer lands to separate the proposed residential lands from lands to be conserved for long-term environmental protection. The proposed works will facilitate the completion of a development proposal that will set aside the main Carruthers Creek, tributary lands and a wetland area into public ownership for permanent conservation. Plantings Extensive complementary landscape plans are proposed, which provide for the planting of numerous native, self-sustaining, grasses, shrubs and trees to surround the development envelope and support the proposed stormwater swales and overflow outfalls. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3, Infrastructure and Servicing, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The subject lands are located on the west side of the Petticoat Creek valleylands within the Highbush Neighbourhood of the City of Pickering, west side of Altona Road, south of Finch Avenue. The lands are currently one large residential lot framed by recently developed suburban lands to the north and south and the Petticoat Creek to the east, fronting on Sandhurst Crescent to the west. Pursuant to a previous Agreement with the City of Pickering, the existing residence, which is located within the Regional Storm Plain on the eastern portion of the lot, within the Petticoat Creek valleylands, is to be demolished and the portion of the lands within the Regional Storm Flood Plain conveyed to the city. Since the original agreement was executed, the Petticoat Creek flood plain maps were updated resulting in a larger flood plain boundary on the site. 100

101 In the fall of 2011, the Owner of the lands applied to sever the subject lands into two residential lots. At that time TRCA advised the Owner of the revised and larger flood plain boundary. The Owner has revised the proposed severance so as to provide for a 10 metre (33 foot) horizontal buffer from the larger flood plain boundary with the exception of a 2 to 7 metre (6.5 to 23 foot) wide flood plain 'lobe', which extends along a low point of land at the southern boundary of the lot adjacent to existing newly developed residential lots and beyond the natural valleyland formation. At the request of City of Pickering Development Control staff, this portion of the lands is now proposed for inclusion into the lot in order to provide for a rational lot fabric and consistent lot interface to the adjacent newly developed residential lots to the south. As part of a proper lot interface a retaining wall of between 0.56 metre to 1.27 metre in height (1.8 foot to 4.2 foot) is proposed within the residential lot at the southern property boundary. Control of Flooding: The proposed fill placement has been described in detail and shown on plan by the Owner's qualified engineering consultant in support of the proposal. Along with the proposed fill placement, the existing residence within the flood plain is to be removed, which will provide compensatory flood plain storage. TRCA's Water Resource Engineering staff have reviewed the detailed plans and have no objection. The proposal will have a negligible impact on the storage and conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: A detailed Sediment and Erosion plan has been submitted in support of the application, which will isolate the proposed work area from the Petticoat Creek valleylands to the east. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical or slope stability concerns associated with this proposal. Conservation of Land: The proposal will result in the conveyance of the majority of the Regional Storm Flood Plain, the valleylands associated with the Petticoat Creek and a 10 metre (33 foot) environmental buffer conveyed into public ownership, City of Pickering. The majority of the proposed fill placement is located outside of the valleylands adjacent to existing residential lots. Plantings No plantings have been made a requirement of this proposal. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 3.2.2, Stream Corridors, of TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

A large portion of the subject property is located within the Main Humber River valley corridor. The property's tableland is similar to a peninsula with a steep slope along its northern boundary and a more gentle slope feature along its eastern boundary. The southern boundary does not contain a significant slope and the western boundary is adjacent to the street. The previously existing dwelling was located within approximately 3 metres from the steep northern slope feature. 129

130 Based upon a Geotechnical Slope Stability Report, prepared by SPL Consultants Limited, dated February 6, 2012, the long-term-stable top-of-slope (LTSTOS) for the northern and eastern slope features were determined. Based upon the analysis, the previously existing dwelling would have been at or very close to the LTSTOS. The proposed replacement dwelling will be located 6 metres away from the LTSTOS. Due to site constraints, this setback buffer is the maximum that can be achieved on this property. TRCA Geotechnical Staff are satisfied that the proposed works are adequately setback from the LTSTOS. The proposed location of the replacement dwelling provides a reduction in risk to property and life over the previously existing dwelling location. In order to enhance the stability of the slope feature as well as provide an ecological buffer between the valley system and the proposed residential use, the area between the existing top-of-slope and the LTSTOS (and in some places beyond the LTSTOS) will be restored with native, non-invasive trees and shrubs. Control of Flooding: The subject property is not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. There will be no impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Sediment control fencing will be erected and maintained for the duration of construction to prevent the transport of sediment into the valley system. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: TRCA Geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed works have been adequately setback from the LTSTOS as identified by SPL Consultants Limited. TRCA Geotechnical staff are also satisfied that the extensive restoration plantings proposed within the area between the existing top-of-slope and the LTSTOS will help provide increased stability to the slope feature. Conservation of Land: As a watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. There are no other significant natural features on or adjacent to the site that may be negatively impacted by the project. Plantings An extensive planting plan has been included as part of this permit which will not only enhance the stability of the slope with native, non-invasive plantings but also provide a net ecological gain. Policy Guidelines: The proposal is consistent with Section D) - Replacement Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

144 EX10.36 TOWN OF WHITCHURCH-STOUFFVILLE To construct, reconstruct, erect or place a building or structure, site grade, temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material, originating on the site or elsewhere and interfere with a wetland on South shore Parkette on Lakeview Avenue, in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville. The purpose is to undertake improvements to a community park on the south shore of Preston Lake within a Regulated Area associated with the White Rose -- Preston Lake Provincially Significant Wetland Complex. The permit will be issued for the period of September 7, 2012 to September 6, 2014 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: Concept Plan, prepared by TRCA Restoration Services Division, received by TRCA Planning and Development Division August 23, RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant proposes to: repair and replace a minor existing park retaining wall with a new single row of armourstone; add additional sand along south Preston Lake shoreline within the park boundary to improve access for swimming and establish two small shoal structures on either side of the lake frontage to contain the sand. The proposed works were designed by staff in TRCA's Restoration Services Division in partnership with the Preston Lake South Shore Property Owners Association, who maintain the park as a private community park on behalf of the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, which is the park land owner. 144

145 The park lands are located on the north side of Lakeview Avenue within the South Shore Preston Lake residential community in the rural portion of the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville. The current site condition is manicured lawn with isolated trees and shrubs used for recreation and as an access point to the lake at an existing sand beach. A landscape brick wall separates the manicured parkland from the beach area and is currently in a state of disrepair. Preston Lake is a Kettle Lake near the crest of the Oak Ridges Moraine. The lake and shoreline areas have been designated by the Ministry of Natural Resources as part of the Provincially Significant White Rose -- Preston Lake Provincially Significant Wetland Complex. Consequently, all lands within 120 metres (394 feet) of the wetland boundary, including the entirety of the park, are located within a Wetland Interference Regulated Area and are subject to TRCA's permit requirements. The proposed works will result in an enhancement to the adjacent natural setting of the park lands. Control of Flooding: Preston Lake, as a Kettle Lake, is not part of a riverine system and is therefore not mapped as part of TRCA's flood plain mapping program. Pollution: All works are to be protected by silt and sediment control measures to be implemented during construction. Construction access will is to be limited to the Town-owned park lands. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: The existing retaining wall is currently at the toe of slope and is approximately 1 metre (3.3 feet) in height. The applicant proposes to replace the existing minor retaining wall and replace it with a single course of armourstone similar in dimension to the existing structure. Conservation of Land: All work is to be constructed from the shoreline area. Equipment is not to work from the water or traverse the water at any time. After construction, the site is to be stabilized with an appropriate seed mixture. It is the opinion of TRCA staff that there will be a net environmental gain associated with the project in terms of enhanced naturalized plantings within the park lands and no adverse impacts on the adjacent wetland communities. Plantings In addition to the proposed seed mixture a rain garden of native plans as well as additional naturalized plantings near the shore line are proposed. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with the provisions of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan.
