RECOMMENDATION THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of a request from Tridel Corporation (Tridel) for a permanent sanitary sewer easement to service Tridel's developments at 1 Old Mill Drive, City of Toronto, Humber River watershed; AND WHEREAS it is in the opinion of TRCA that it is in the best interests of TRCA in furthering its objectives, as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act, to cooperate with Tridel and the City of Toronto in this instance; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT a permanent easement containing hectares (0.143 acres), more or less, be granted to the City of Toronto for an upgraded sanitary sewer to facilitate the development of adjacent lands owned by Tridel at 1 Old Mill Drive in the City of Toronto, said land being Part of Lots 1 and 2 Humber Range, Concession 2 from the Bay and designated as Part 1 and 2 on draft plan by I.M.

BACKGROUND Tridel has formally requested a permanent easement for an upgraded sanitary sewer. The current sanitary sewer within the existing easement is not able to hold the capacity required for the proposed condominium development. Therefore Tridel is required to reconstruct the sanitary sewer to service their condominium development at 1 Old Mill Drive in the City of Toronto. The permanent easement will be assumed by the City of Toronto for maintenance after completion of construction. Extensive public consultation has taken place throughout the planning process for this development. No concerns were raised regarding the sanitary sewer during the consultations. The subjects lands are part of a larger parcel acquired from The Corporation of the City of York on October 25, 1984 for conservation purposes. TRCA staff has carried out negotiations with Tridel's representatives and respectfully submit that the compensation relating to the hectares (0.143 acres) easement, is fair and reasonable. The total compensation package is composed of $60, for the purchase of the permanent easement and $20, in native plantings throughout the Humber River watershed to produce an ecological net gain and total compensation of approximately $80, Plantings: All lands disturbed by construction will be stabilized and, where deemed appropriate by TRCA staff, revegetated with native woody and herbaceous plant material in accordance with existing TRCA landscaping guidelines. A landscaping plan was prepared and form part of the permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06. A plan illustrating the permanent easement location is attached. 27

CFN KEY ISSUE Acquisition of property located south of Langstaff Road and west of Islington Avenue in the City of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, under the 'Greenlands Acquisition Project for ', Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Humber River watershed.

CFN KEY ISSUE Purchase of property located to the rear of Dundas Street West, City of Toronto - Etobicoke York Community Council Area, under the "Greenlands Acquisition Project for ", Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Humber River watershed. RECOMMENDATION THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 0.19 hectares (0.47 acres), more or less, of vacant land being Part of Lot 10, Concession C, FTH and designated as Parts 1 and 4 on Plan 66R-27060, City of Toronto - Etobicoke York Community Council Area, located to the rear of Dundas Street West, be purchased from Delmanor Prince Edward Inc.; THAT the purchase price be $2.00; THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) receive conveyance of the lands free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements; THAT Gardiner Roberts LLP, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs, and disbursements are to be paid; AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take the necessary action to finalize the transaction including obtaining needed approvals and signing and execution of documents. BACKGROUND Resolution #A94/10 at Authority Meeting #5/10, held on June 25, 2010, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for Negotiations have been conducted with Ms. Mary Critelli of DelZotto Zorzi LLP, Barristers & Solicitors, acting as agent on behalf of the owner. The proposed site development consists of an underground parking garage and multi-storey retirement apartment building. The works also include removal and restoration of an existing asphalt parking lot located at the top of the valley. 36

37 The proposed development is subject to City of Toronto and TRCA review and approvals which have now been finalized. The subject property is appropriately zoned for the intended use and currently contains an office building and surface parking lot. The existing surface parking lot is located within the slope hazard limit as well as up to the physical top of bank and the resulting storm flows are actively eroding the slope on the northwest corner of the site. This erosion scar requires remediation and replanting. The zoning approval was conditioned upon securing a comprehensive plan for slope remediation, valley renaturalization and conveyance of the restored valley lands to TRCA. The proposed slope remediation and replanting plans need to be secured prior to moving forward with a permit for the new development. The owner has agreed to retain TRCA Restoration Services staff to design and construct the required works. An agreement is being put in place prior to the issuance of a permit under Ontario Regulation 166/06 in order to guarantee that the slope remediation works will take place. Ultimately, the development will result in renaturalization of the former parking area and the hazard lands will be conveyed to public ownership for a net gain to the natural heritage system. Access to the subject lands will be achieved along the east side of the property in order to complete the slope remediation works as well as to secure future access for maintenance purposes. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Humber River watershed as outlined in the Greenlands Acquisition Project for Through our review of Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendment Application WET 04 OZ for retirement residential development, TRCA staff established the limits of the open space lands (i.e. Parts 1 and 4 on Plan 66R-27060) which are located partially within the Regional Storm Flood Plain and entirely within the Regulated Area of the Humber River valley corridor at this location. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE It is proposed that the lands be turned over to the City of Toronto for management.

BACKGROUND Resolution #A94/10 at Authority Meeting #5/10, held on June 25, 2010, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for Negotiations have been conducted with Mr. George Karakokkinos of Nu-Land Management Inc., who acts as agent on behalf of the owner. 39

40 The subject parcel to be conveyed to TRCA contains an on-stream pond with an outlet structure, utilizing stop logs to control water levels. The pond was built by a previous owner of the property sometime prior to From the outset of negotiations, which date back to 2006, staff has maintained that the existence of the on-stream pond is problematic from a liability perspective and that it is imperative that the pond be taken off-line before any acquisition by TRCA. Following much discussion between TRCA and the owner, it was decided that TRCA staff is best positioned to restore the pond due to expertise in natural heritage restoration. Accordingly, the owner has agreed to provide funds in the amount of $85,000.00, as estimated by TRCA Restoration Services staff, for removal of the outlet structure in order to gradually draw down the pond and allow the watercourse to re-establish its natural path. A portion of the funds will be used to purchase native plant material to restore the former pond area. Based on the above-noted agreement, staff is now prepared to proceed with acquisition of the subject lands. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject lands fall within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Don River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for Through the review of residential subdivision 19T-95065, TRCA staff established the limits of the open space lands (i.e. Block 57 on Draft Plan of Subdivision) which are situated entirely within the regulated area and partially within the Regional Storm Flood Plain of a headwater tributary of the East Don River at this location. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Based on TRCA's preliminary review of the environmental criteria for lands that are eligible to receive a property tax exemption under the provincial Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program, it would appear that all of the subject property will be eligible for an exemption once the restoration work has been completed. Taxes for 2014 are estimated to be $1,900. The addition of the subject parcel of land will not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs at this location. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the costs related to this purchase are available in the TRCA land acquisition capital account.

42 TO: FROM: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #9/13, November 1, 2013 Brian Denney, Chief Executive Officer Item EX7.6 RE: USE OF RESOURCES DURING AN ELECTION Approval of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Policy KEY ISSUE Approval of policy and receipt of procedures on Use of Resources During an Election. RECOMMENDATION THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the policy on Use of Resources During an Election be approved, as outlined in Attachment 1; THAT the procedures on Use of Resources During an Election be received, as outlined in Attachment 2; THAT the policy be added to the category of "Application to the General Public or Have Significant Implications" as outlined in the Policy Review staff report approved by the Authority on July 26, 2013; AND FURTHER THAT the City of Toronto be so advised by the CEO's Office. BACKGROUND At its meeting held on February 20 and 21, 2013, Toronto City Council approved a motion requesting that City agencies adopt policies similar to the City of Toronto's that clarify the appropriate actions of employees and use of facilities, events, information, infrastructure and other resources during an election. At Authority Meeting #4/12, held on May 25, 2012, Resolution #A85/12 approved the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) policy on Conflict of Interest - Employee Participation in Municipal, Provincial or Federal Elections. TRCA staff conducted a review of the City of Toronto policy, as well as those of the cities of Vaughan and Brampton, and towns of Markham and Richmond Hill in preparing the TRCA policy and procedures for Use of Resources During and Election. RATIONALE The rationale for this request is to provide a consistent approach to the use of public resources during an election, to help support confidence in the election process, and to be in keeping with the Municipal Elections Act,1996 which specifies that a municipality or local board cannot make a contribution to a municipal election candidate. 42

43 The policy strives to recognize the need to balance freedom of expression and assembly of candidates with responsibilities while ensuring there is no unfair advantage, promotion or contributions to any one candidate, party, registrant or supporter of a ballot question. The policy recommended in Attachment 1, in conjunction with the already approved TRCA policy on employee participation in elections, meets these objectives, and is consistent with the City of Toronto policy. Procedures for implementation of the policy have been approved by TRCA's Directors Committee, and are outlined for the information of the board in Attachment 2. Staff recommends that the policy on Use of Resources During an Election be categorized as "Application to the General Public or Have Significant Implications", and as such requires Authority approval.

44 Attachment 1 1. PURPOSE The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) policy on 'Use of Resources During an Election' provides a consistent approach and direction to TRCA employees on how TRCA resources can and cannot be used during municipal, school board, provincial and federal election campaigns or campaigns on a question on a ballot. 2. BACKGROUND The Municipal Elections Act,1996 specifies that a municipality or local board cannot make a contribution to a municipal election candidate (Section 70(4)). A contribution includes money, goods and services given to and accepted by or on behalf of a person for his or her election campaign (Section 66 (1)). Since a contribution may take the form of money, goods or services, any use by an Authority Member who is a candidate or by any candidate, of TRCA s resources for an election campaign would be a contribution by TRCA. This policy and accompanying procedures establishes guidelines on the appropriate use of resources during an election period, in order to: protect the interests of Authority Members, candidates, staff and TRCA, and ensure accountable and transparent election practices. TRCA employees may be approached by some candidates to use TRCA resources for the purposes of campaigning. A clear policy is required to guide the action of TRCA employees and help determine which requests can be accommodated and which should be denied. 3. SCOPE This policy and accompanying procedures applies to all Authority Members, candidates in a municipal, school board, provincial and federal election, and TRCA staff during an election period. 4. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Chief Executive Officer (CEO): Procedures and guidelines pursuant to the 'Use of Resources During an Election' policy shall be developed to ensure audit implementation compliance. All issues with respect to this policy and associated procedures should be directed toward the CEO. Directors: Directors are responsible for the application of this policy to TRCA resources, facilities and employees managed by their Divisions. TRCA Employees: TRCA employees are responsible for understanding and applying this policy and for seeking clarification and advice if required. 44

TRCA resources cannot be used to promote one candidate, political party, registrant or a supporter of a question on a ballot during an election over another candidate, political party, registrant or a supporter of a question on a ballot during an election. This policy is intended to enable continued public and media access to candidates or registrants for information and interviews. The policy distinguishes between unplanned media scrums or chance public encounters by candidates and the media, whether in-person or online, and actual planned media events or rallies. The policy recognizes that Authority Members are holders of their position until their successor is appointed, and supports Members in continuing to fulfill their responsibilities as Authority Members.

56 TO: FROM: Chair and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #9/13, November 1, 2013 Carolyn Woodland, Director, Planning and Development Item EX10.1 RE: APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 166/06 Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses KEY ISSUE Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06, written permission from the Authority is required for: a) straightening, changing, diverting or interfering in any way with the existing channel of a river, creek, stream or watercourse, or for changing or interfering in any way with a wetland; b) development, if in the opinion of the authority, the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches or pollution or the conservation of land may be affected by the development. A permit may be refused through a Hearing Process, if in the opinion of the Authority, the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches, pollution or the conservation of land is affected. RECOMMENDATION THAT permits be granted in accordance with Ontario Regulation 166/06 for the applications which are listed below: PERMIT APPLICATION EX EX10.3 ARE MAJOR APPLICATIONS Applications that involved a more complex suite of technical studies to demonstrate consistency with policies; applications that cover a significant geographic area (e.g. subdivisions, stormwater management ponds), extensive modifications to the landscape, major infrastructure projects, emergency works, resolution of violations/after the fact permits, trail construction 56

57 CITY OF BRAMPTON EX10.1 CITY OF BRAMPTON 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 alter a watercourse on Countryside Drive between Bramalea Road and Torbram Road in the City of Brampton, Humber River Watershed, as located on property owned by the City of Brampton or through easement agreements. The purpose is to widen Countryside Drive from Bramalea Road to Airport Road. This project has been divided into 2 separate permits (CFN and 49863). This application (CFN 40845) covers the widening of Countryside Drive from Bramalea Road to Torbram Road including the replacement of an undersized culvert with a bridge at the H3 tributary crossing, construction of a sidewalk on the south side and a multi-use path on the north side of the road. The redside dace timing window will apply to any in or near water work at the H3 tributary (approximately Station ) and the warmwater fisheries timing window will apply to the watercourse that outlets just east of Torbram Road, unless otherwise specified in writing by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). A Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The permit will be issued for the period of November 1, 2013 to October 31, 2015 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: Letter of Undertaking to provide revisions to the engineering and landscape drawings to the satisfaction of TRCA staff; dated October 15, 2013; received October 15, 2013; prepared by the City of Brampton. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: 57

58 Proposal: This proposal is one of two separate permit applications for the construction of Countryside Drive from Bramalea Road to Airport Road. Work for this section of the road involves widening Countryside Drive from Bramalea Road to Torbram Road from a 2-lane rural to a 4-lane urban cross-section with 6-lanes at major intersections. A 1.5 m wide sidewalk will be constructed on the south side of the road and a 3.0 m multi-use path will be constructed on the north side of the road. The existing 3.9 m span culvert at the H3 tributary (approximately Station ) was found to be undersized. As a result, the City of Brampton together with MNR through their requirements as it relates to redside dace determined that the culvert will need to be replaced with a single 36 m span bridge and the watercourse realigned. In addition, a new 2.4 m by 1.5 m box culvert will be constructed in place of an existing 600 mm diameter CSP to accommodate the road widening near Torbram Road. This culvert will connect to an existing 2.4 m by 1.5 m concrete culvert that outlets to a watercourse south of Countryside Drive on the east side of Torbram Road. Control of Flooding: Works within this area are not anticipated to affect the conveyance or storage of flood waters. Pollution: Standard erosion and sediment control measures (silt fence, cofferdam, rock check dam) will be implemented prior to construction and maintained for the duration of construction, and until the site is stabilized and restored, in order to prevent construction generated sediments from entering any watercourse or wetland. Erosion and sediment control measures have been provided in accordance with the TRCA Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: No geotechnical/slope stability issues are anticipated for the proposal. Conservation of Land: With erosion and sedimentation plans in effect, the potential for a Harmful, Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated and a Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).

As such, the consultants have provided a new permit application in the name of the City of Markham, the current landowner. No changes have occurred since the original approval in July The lands subject to this permit are located within the floodplain of the Rouge River Watershed, located north of the Rouge River, south of Highway 7 East, and east of Warden Avenue. The works are compensatory in nature, in order to provide mitigation for the anticipated impacts to the species within the Rouge River as a result of the construction of infrastructure works outleting to the Rouge River in support of Draft Plan of Subdivision 19TM This plan of subdivision was the subject of a Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP), which was completed and approved by TRCA staff on June 30, As part of the high density development, a number of infrastructure works have been constructed in phases, including the construction of underground stormwater detention chamber and outfall which services Phase 1 of subdivision the plan of subdivision (C ) and a the removal of a headwater drainage feature and the reconstruction construction of an outfall to serve Phase 2 of the development (C ). The permits associated with the works have been approved by the Executive Committee in 2011 and 2012 respectively. As this branch of the Rouge River has been identified as a regulated habitat for Redside Dace, the landowner was required to provide MNR with compensation works as per the Endangered Species Act 2007 to mitigate the impacts of the infrastructure works required to service the plan of subdivision, which outlet into the Rouge River. The proposed works are a component of the mitigation plan submitted to MNR for review and approval, which included the construction of the wetland feature, which is to provide an overall net benefit to the species. A letter of approval was received with the permit application from MNR (dated February 21, 2013) with respect to the Mitigation Plan. As the location of the wetland to be constructed is located within a Regulated Area of the TRCA, a permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 (as amended) is required for the works. 62

63 The proposed works include the construction of a riverine wetland on City of Markham lands (with authorization from the City), as a compensatory piece in support of the infrastructure works associated with the draft approved plan of subdivision. The wetland is intended to become part of a much larger Natural Heritage System, known as the "Greenlands System" through Markham Centre. The existing location of the proposed works is currently comprised of a low, flat meadow/thicket area. The works include the impoundment of a low area along the Rouge River, which is designed to attenuate runoff during storm events, and attenuate shallow groundwater to enhance base flow and provide additional water quality improvements. The works include the creation of a small rock check dam structure within the floodplain, which will regulate the flows inleting and outleting from the feature, including a series of localized excavated areas, creating opportunities for a number of small habitats. The proposed works also include the installation of a number of native plant materials and native seed mixes. The completed works will include a newly created wetland to be integrated within the overall Natural Heritage System, and a complementary terrestrial habitat as part of the overall compensation strategy. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are located within the Regional Storm Floodplain. Intended to function as a riverine wetland, overflow from the river during storm events, will provide water to the man-made feature. Based on the design and TRCA review, there are no significant modifications to the conveyance of stream flows, and a minor increase in flood storage capacity is anticipated. Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained on the subject property during all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no anticipated geotechnical impacts with respect to slope stability or erosion concerns related to this application. Conservation of Land: The Rouge River is considered a Recovery Reach for Redside Dace under MNR's Endangered Species Act, and as such, all in-water works shall adhere to the appropriate fisheries timing window (July 1 to September 15). A Letter of Advice will be required to be issued to facilitate the near and in-water works. Plantings All plantings for the restoration works will be native, non-invasive species. Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section New Urban Development - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP). 63

The proposed pedestrian walkway is located within the Springdale Neighbourhood # Stage 4 (Draft Plan of Subdivision 21T-02006B). This project is being managed and implemented by City of Brampton staff. The proposed walkway will be constructed at-grade utilizing a permeable surface (i.e. turfstone to be filled with topsoil and seed mixture) that will allow for the passage and infiltration of surface flow. Additionally, there will be minimal disturbance to the vegetation as a result of the construction of the proposed walkway. A planting plan has been provided as part of this submission in order to improve the ecological condition of the natural area in this valley corridor. TRCA staff recognizes that the intent of this walkway is to provide for a more solid and safe trail surface in an area where residents have established their own informal walkway. TRCA staff has recommended to City of Brampton staff that they should consider a more permanent and long-term solution as a part of the City's overall trail master planning process. Recognizing that the trail is located within a valley feature, the City of Brampton has committed to installing signage at the top of the walkway to inform and warn users of their safety during high water levels and flooding. Furthermore, the City has committed to implementing a protocol during heavy storm warnings that would require placing barriers at the top of the valley to prevent pedestrians from using the walkway. Control of Flooding: A portion of the proposed walkway is located within the Regional Storm Floodplain. However, the existing grades are to be maintained. As such, TRCA staff do not anticipate any adverse impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Appropriate erosion and sediment control (i.e. silt fence) have been proposed with this application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns anticipated with this application. Conservation of Land: No significant vegetation will be removed as a result of construction. However, a planting plan has been provided with this application to enhance the landscaping within the riparian zone adjacent to the walkway. The landscape plan includes planting a diversity of native and non-invasive species. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this application. 67

These works are being necessitated in order to replace the existing main treatment building. Works will involve construction of a new headworks building, biofilter structure and influent chamber to the north of the bend in Beechgrove Drive. Two new permanent roads are to be constructed to allow for access to the biofilter structure and influent chamber; the road to the influent chamber will be asphalt, while the road to the biofilter structure is to be comprised of permeable grass pavers. In order to accommodate the new influent chamber, an existing culvert conveying drainage under the roadway is to be realigned, and the lands south of Beechgrove Drive graded to accommodate the new location of the culvert. A coffer dam is to be established while the culvert is being realigned; flows will be diverted using a bypass pump and discharged through a filter bag to a vegetated area. Rip rap shall be placed at both the upstream and downstream end of the realigned culvert to prevent erosion. The downstream end of this culvert will also be constructed to receive flows from a new roadside drainage feature on the north side of Beechgrove Drive, running under the new permeable paver road. A 900mm concrete sanitary sewer running south from Beechgrove Drive is also part of this project, and will be installed using trench boxes. Once construction of the new facilities is complete, the existing treatment building will be decommissioned. Heavy duty silt fencing will be used to isolate the work areas from the adjacent natural features, employed either as a single row, or as a dual row reinforced with straw bales. Tree protection fencing is also to be established in accordance with City of Toronto Urban Forestry standards. Several trees and several shrubs are to be removed within the TRCA regulated area to accommodate facility expansion. These removals will be compensated through an extensive planting plan that includes native trees, shrubs, sod, or a seed mix. Construction is anticipated to commence in early 2014 and be completed by mid Control of Flooding: The proposed works are not located within the Regional Storm flood plain and are not anticipated to impact flooding, flood storage or conveyance of flood waters. All grades will be maintained or matched. Pollution: Erosion and sediment control measures (silt fence, catch basin filter fabric, filter bag) will be installed prior to construction and maintained for its duration. These measures are being implemented to prevent the release of construction generated sediment into Highland Creek. Erosion and sediment control measures have been provided in accordance with the TRCA Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction (2006). 82

83 Dynamic Beaches: The proposal will not have any implications to dynamic beaches. Erosion: There are no impacts identified to slope stability or erosion as a result of these works.
