PREFACE
P.1. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW
In 2007 the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) in consultation with the Region of Durham, and surrounding municipalities initiated the 407 East Individual Environmental Assessment and Preliminary Design Study (August, 2009) (“407 East Transportation Corridor EA”) under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This study was intended to support the transportation objectives of the provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe by providing for the efficient movement of people and goods within the study area.
The need for an east-west freeway, north of Toronto and connecting to Highway 35/115 in Clarington was initially considered in the 1950s and 1960s, and the 407 transportation corridor was included in the Parkway Belt West Plan in 1978. The existing Highway 407 corridor originates at the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) in the City of Burlington and terminates at Brock Road in the City of Pickering. To date, planning decisions related to land use and transportation have included the easterly extension of the Highway 407 corridor. Various planning studies were previously undertaken to determine the location of particular segments of the 407 corridor as it exists today. A recommendation for the inclusion of a dedicated right-of-way (ROW) for transit as part of the 407 East Transportation Corridor through Durham Region was also made previously through a variety of studies.
Key areas addressed in the 407 East Transportation Corridor EA included:
To provide a new transportation corridor to address transportation capacity deficiencies;
To provide a comprehensive freeway network through Durham Region to improve mobility, network flexibility and provide an alternative emergency/detour freeway route in Durham Region;
To offer relief to traffic congestion on local roads, as the freeway will provide an alternate route for through traffic;
To meet infrastructure needs to address continued population and employment growth in Durham Region and eastern Greater Toronto Area; and
To allow for better and more efficient transportation and flow of goods between Toronto and eastern Ontario.
P.1.1. 407 East Transportation Corridor The 407 East Transportation Corridor will extend Highway 407 by 50.0 kilometres (km) from Brock Road to Highway 35/115. This includes 2 north-south links of 10.0 km connecting the

Highway 401 to the proposed 407 Transportation Corridor, with 1 link in West Durham (Whitby) and the other link in East Durham (Clarington).
The ultimate design plan of the project includes:
Ten lanes from Brock Road to Harmony Road and 8 lanes from Harmony Road to the East Durham Link;
Six lanes from the East Durham Link to Highway 35/115, 6 lanes on the West Durham Link (WDL) and 6 lanes on the East Durham Link;
110.0 metre (m) highway ROW and 60.0 m transitway ROW. The highway component includes provisions for High Occupancy Vehicle lanes for passenger vehicles;
Twenty interchanges, 14 road closures, 42 road crossings, 65 stormwater management ponds; and
Two highway maintenance facilities, 2 transitway maintenance facilities, 2 commercial vehicle inspection facilities, 3 truck lay-bys along the links and 17 transitway stations.
P.1.2. Environmental Assessments The 407 East Transportation Corridor EA was captured by both federal and provincial environmental assessment (EA) legislation.
In June 2010, the Ontario Minister of the Environment, under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (OEAA), granted approval of the 407 East Transportation Corridor EA.
Shortly afterwards, in July 2011, the Federal Minister of the Environment, under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA), approved the Comprehensive Study Report of the Project and made a decision that the 407 Transportation Corridor is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects with the implementation of appropriate mitigation measures.
P.1.3. Phased Implementation The Highway 407 East Transportation Corridor will be implemented in 2 phases by Infrastructure Ontario (IO), in partnership with MTO (“the Province of Ontario”). Please refer to Figure P-1.
Phase 1 (“407 East Phase 1”, “the Project”) is scheduled to start early in 2013 and will be completed by late 2015 and includes 32.0 km of highway from east of the Brock Road interchange in Pickering to east of Harmony Road in Oshawa and the WDL.
Phase 2 of the 407 East Transportation Corridor will be divided in 2 parts. Phase 2A from Harmony Road to Taunton Road/East Durham Link is scheduled to be completed by 2017.

P.1.4. Project Delivery The implementation of 407 East Phase 1 will occur using an Alternative Finance and Procurement delivery model. The Province of Ontario has awarded the rights to design, build, finance and maintain (DBFM) the Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project for a 30-year concession period to the 407 East Development Group (407EDG). The Province of Ontario will retain control and ownership of the facility and be responsible for the tolling rates and revenue.
DBFM differs from traditional highway design-bid-build projects because both the finalization of the design details and the construction of a project are carried out simultaneously. For aggressive project delivery to the public, the Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project is divided into strategic components and work packages in a manner that allows early parts of the Project to go ahead with construction, while latter parts of the Project are finalizing their design details. This method is advantageous for larger construction projects with a short schedule and makes efficient use of resources to support completion. The Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project will be a new multi-lane tolled highway with staged widening toward the ultimate development for a comprehensive freeway network through Durham Region.
P.1.5. Current Design Build The initial 407 East Phase 1 design-build development stage encompasses transportation layout, community features and environmental impact mitigation measures. Supporting elements, such as drainage, stormwater management, lighting system and signage are also considered.
Transportation Layout
The main line of the Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project is roughly 22.0 km long in total, with 7.4 km of 6-lane east-west freeway from east of Brock Road to the WDL and 12.9 km of 4-lane east-west freeway from WDL to east Harmony Road. Interchanges are found at Lake Ridge Road, Baldwin Street (Highway 7/12), Thickson Road, Simcoe Street and Harmony Road.
The WDL is a 4-lane north-south freeway connecting Highway 407 and Highway 401 with interchanges at Highway 407, Highway 7, Taunton Road, Dundas Street, Lake Ridge Road and Highway 401.
The Highway 401 and WDL Interchange includes a 5.0 km realignment of Highway 401 (6-lane freeway) from east of Salem Road to west of Henry Street, with an interchange at the re-aligned Lake Ridge Road.
Community Features
Considerations for community-focused features are identified in the Community Value Plan and include but are not limited to:

Gateway features, signage;
Architectural enhancement of bridges;
Local heritage strategies (such as commemorative plantings, signage; adaptive resource use);
Designated wildlife crossings and associated wildlife fencing;
Wetland restoration;
Trails and pathways; and
Aboriginal/community commemorative landscape and bridge architectural elements.
Environmental Impact Mitigation Measures
The EAs conducted for the Project concluded that environmental effects of the undertaking can be appropriately prevented, mitigated or remedied. Mitigation will include noise mitigation, stormwater management and snowdrift control among other identified measures.
Vegetation Restoration will be undertaken to replace the loss of forests and wetlands within the Project lands at 1:1 compensation ratio. The objective of the vegetation compensation will be to restore and/or enhance wildlife and ecological linkages among vegetation communities and promote the re-establishment of self-sustaining terrestrial and aquatic environments, including restoration of Species at Risk (SAR) habitat. In addition, environmental conservation, enhancement and compensation measures will include:
SAR permit requirements, including implementation and monitoring of Overall Benefit Plans for recovery of endangered species (Butternut, Redside Dace, Bobolink, Eastern Meadowlark and Barn Swallow);
Mitigation and documentation of historical aboriginal and early settlement sites;
Remediation of contaminated soil;
Implementation of terrestrial mitigation measures (Edge Management Plans, Invasive Species Management Plan, etc.); and
Design and implementation of fish habitat compensation plans using natural channel principles for stream realignment designs to ensure no net loss of fish habitat, and where feasible, overall enhancement.

Public Participation
The public has an important role to play during the design and construction phases of the Project. Community input to detail designs required for construction will be solicited at Public Information Centre in 2012 and 2013. Questions, feedback and comments are always welcome.
P.2. PROJECT ORGANIZATION & IMPLEMENTATION
On March 21, 2012, a fixed-price contract between the Province and the 407EDG to DBFM the Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project was signed. This partnership is committed to ensuring that mitigation measures and compliance monitoring are implemented relative to the commitments made during the environmental assessment (EA) process and in subsequent detail design phases. The design and construction of the Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project allows for continued opportunities for stakeholders and the public to be both consulted and informed as the Project develops.
P.2.1. 407 East Development Group The 407EDG team includes designers, builders, financiers and operators who will complete the Project. 407EDG has assumed the responsibility for delivering and complying with all obligations, commitments, and responsibilities stated in the approved provincial and federal EAs, applicable permits, authorizations and approvals that are required to execute the Project. 407EDG consists of 2 companies, Cintra Infraestructuras S.A., a division of Ferrovial S.A, and SNC-Lavalin Inc. (through its division, SNC-Lavalin Capital).
P.2.2. 407 East Construction General Partnership To design and build the Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project, 407EDG has formed and established a “Design-Build Contractor” in the form of a “Joint Venture” company referred to as the 407 East Construction General Partnership (407ECGP). 407ECGP will act as the designers and builders of the Project and are directly responsible for executing construction and will manage the design. 407ECGP consists of a fully integrated team of 2 equity members SNC-Lavalin Inc. through its SNC-Lavalin Construction Division and Ferrovail Agroman S.A. This relationship ensures the highest levels of quality, innovation, and safety for the design and construction of the Project.
407ECGP has retained a design team consisting of 3 companies, Jansen & Spaans Engineering Inc.; AIA Engineers Limited; and SNC-Lavalin Environment (a Division of SNC-Lavalin Inc.). These 3 companies are responsible for the overall highway design, including road and pavement design, structures, utilities, illumination, traffic management, environmental protection and compensation, and components of the Community Value Plan.

P.3.1. Ontario Environmental Assessment Act OEAA Purpose
The purpose of the OEAA is to help protect and conserve Ontario’s environment by ensuring that projects subject to the Act follow a planning process leading to environmentally sound decision-making. The intent is to predict the environmental effects of proposed initiatives or projects before they are carried out. A key component of the OEAA and good planning is to ensure that reasonable and meaningful consultation opportunities for members of the public, agencies, First Nations and other key stakeholders are provided throughout the process.
EA Project Phases
The 407 East Transportation Corridor EA followed the requirements of the OEAA under the EA process (Section 6.1 (2) of the OEAA), with the framework for this study set out in the 407 East EA terms of reference approved by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) in January, 2005.
Six main project phases were examined, as follows:
Project Initiation;
Transportation Problems and Opportunities;
Transportation Alternatives (Alternatives to the Undertaking);
Route Alternatives (Alternative Methods);
Preliminary Design; and
EA Report.
An overview of the EA study process is shown in Figure P-3.

Individual Environmental Assessment (IEA) Report
The 407 East Transportation Corridor EA, was completed in August 2009 and submitted to the MOE for review and approval. Approval under the OEAA was granted by the Minister of the Environment in June 2010. The 407 East Individual Environmental Assessment and Preliminary Design Study (August, 2009) (“EA report”), can be accessed at www.highway407east.com.
P.3.1.1. Ministry of Transportation Class Environmental Assessment The MTO Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities 2000 (MTO Class EA) is an approved planning document under the OEAA that defines groups of projects and activities and the EA process which MTO commits to follow for each undertaking, under the provision of the OEAA.
Under the MTO Class EA, the 407 East Transportation Corridor is considered a ‘Group A’ level project, due to it being a new provincial transportation facility. Therefore, in accordance with the MTO Class EA, the 407 East Transportation Corridor EA was conducted following the IEA planning process requirements under the OEAA.
The Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project is utilizing the MTO Class EA (Design and Construction Report preparation) in order to document how "Commitments to Future Work and Public

Participation" as described in the EA report are being addressed prior to the commencement of construction activities.
P.3.2. Canadian Environmental Assessment Act Overview
The CEAA sets out the responsibilities and procedures for carrying out the EA of projects that involve federal government decision-making. Under legislation prior to 2012, the federal EA process applied whenever a federal authority (such as a federal department or federal agency) had a specified decision-making responsibility in relation to a project. This was known as triggering for an EA. There were 2 triggers for the Project, federal lands were required to enable the undertaking to be carried out and the federal government needed to exercise regulatory duties in relation to the undertaking issue a permit or license that is included in the Law List Regulations pursuant to CEAA (i.e., Authorization under the Fisheries Act).
Project Scope
The scope of the Project for the federal EA included the entire 407 East Transportation Corridor development and began as a screening level assessment in May 2008. In March 2010, as a result of the January 21, 2010 Supreme Court of Canada ruling in MiningWatch Canada versus Canada (Minister of Fisheries and Oceans et al.), it was determined that the Project was required to continue to a higher elevated level of assessment, as a Comprehensive Study.
Comprehensive Study Report (CSR)
As part of federal EA process, the public and Aboriginal groups were invited to provide comments on the conclusions and recommendations contained in the Comprehensive Study Report (CSR) prepared for the project. The CSR presents the public, Aboriginal groups and the Canadian Minister of the Environment with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s analysis, conclusions and recommendations on the fundamental consideration set out in the Act, which is whether or not the Project is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.
In July 2011, the federal Minister took into account the implementation of appropriate mitigation measures, and rendered a decision based on the CSR, that the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects. A follow-up compliance monitoring program to verify the accuracy of the federal EA and/or determine the effectiveness of measures taken to mitigate the adverse environmental effects is required, and will by documented in separate document by 407EDG.

P.3.3. Other Provincial/Federal Approvals Ontario Endangered Species Act, 2007
Purpose and Project Scope
The Ontario Endangered Species Act, 2007 (ESA) came into force on June, 2008. The Act provides species protection (s.9) and habitat protection (s.10) to those species listed as extirpated, endangered and threatened on the SAR in Ontario List, Ontario Regulation 230/08, issued under the ESA. However, habitat protection for those species listed prior to enactment of the ESA will not be fully instituted until 2013 for all species. At this time, specific habitat protection guidelines are being rolled out by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) for individual species.
Identified Species at Risk
Through several years of natural heritage inventories, it was determined that the construction of the Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project will interact with 5 species and/or their habitat protected under the ESA, including:
Butternut (Juglans cinerea);
Bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus);
Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna);
Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica); and
Redside Dace (Clinostomus elongatus).
Permits under Section 17(2)(c) of the ESA have been secured by the MTO for the above SAR.
Federal Fisheries Act Authorizations
Affected Watercourses
There are a total of 19 watercourses within the project footprint that will require modification or alteration of fish habitat to facilitate construction of the 407 East Phase 1 Project. These watercourses are located in the watersheds of Duffins Creek, Carruthers Creek, Lynde Creek and Oshawa Creek. The works associated with these watercourses have been determined to result in the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish and/or fish habitat and, therefore, will require authorization under the Fisheries Act for channel realignments and/or enclosures along the Highway 407 East Phase 1 corridor.
The 407EDG, on behalf of MTO, will obtain authorizations under subsection 35(2) of the Fisheries Act from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for the HADD of fish habitat prior to relevant construction works or activities.

P.5 OVERALL CONSULTATION PLAN
The 407EDG has prepared a Community and Stakeholder Consultation Plan (Consultation Plan) which provides a comprehensive approach to consultation that will be flexible, inclusive, and integrated to proactively solicit feedback and input from all stakeholder groups on design and construction. It is a living document and will be reviewed for the relevance in its strategy and application every 6 months.
The Consultation Plan conforms to the requirements set out in the both federal and provincial EA approvals and ensures that the full ranges of topics related to the Project are examined by the public.
The Consultation Plan is be guided by the following principles.
External stakeholders, including external agencies and the public will be notified of the 407EDG’s intention to carry out a study at the beginning of the study, before the 407EDG becomes committed to a particular solution.
Will place emphasis on consultation with the stakeholders most directly affected.
Will provide timely, user-friendly opportunities for input by the public and the agencies whose mandates are most directly affected.
Consultation will be used to assist in the identification of data requirements.
The 407EDG will constructively address input received during the consultation process.
During later planning and design phases, the 407EDG will show how the input received in earlier stages affected the project
The amount, extent and timing of consultation will vary according to the complexity of a specific issue(s), the nature of the specific environmental issue(s), and the concerns expressed by the public and external agencies.
For each consultation event, appropriate methods of notification will be selected based on the nature of the study area, the external parties to be contacted, the stage of the study, and the issues to be addressed.
The 407EDG will make reasonable efforts to resolve concerns. Mediation will be considered for major issues, at key decision points.
P.5.1. Engagement of Stakeholders Consultation with stakeholders will include, but not be limited to, the following groups:

Facilitate approvals; and
Provide updates on legislative and regulatory requirements.
At the outset, MTAG will receive information on the overall approach to implementation of the Project; including provisions pertaining to the design, construction, and handover of new municipal infrastructure.
The MTAG addresses matters of interest to municipal engineering, planning, operations and emergency services staff/providers. Information is provided to the group at milestone junctures (outset; proposed design schemes; major construction staging and scheduling). Meetings are generally held to coincide with public information centres (PIC), but may also be convened as required.
It is expected that MTAG members will keep their respective Councils apprised on the Project. The 407EDG with its design and construction, and operations, maintenance and rehabilitation groups, will provide municipal Councils with special purpose presentations in these regards at the request of MTAG members.
Section 2.0 documents the consultation process undertaken for this DCR.
