402

William and Judith Wilder own a major farming operation located in northern Pickering and southern Uxbridge and they were looking for addition farmland for their operation. In late 2005, the Wilders acquired 450 acres of land located south of Albright Road, between Brock Road and the 6th Concession Road in the Township of Uxbridge. Of the total 450 acres, approximately 181 acres located on east side of Brock Road is usable for farming purposes. The Wilders are the principals of 671934 Ontario Ltd. In 2001 the Wilders donated a conservation easement on 711 acres of their lands in this area. TRCA was a signatory to the conservation easement agreement.

Since the purchase of this property, TRCA staff have had ongoing discussions with Mr. Wilder relating to the 270 acres of the property fronting on the 6th Concession Road. The Wilders are proposing to donate a 17 acre parcel of this land which is located on the east side of the 6th Concession Road and is separated from the remainder of the 450 acre holdings by an unopened road allowance. Based on the discussions staff are recommending a transaction on the following basis:

a) TRCA will acquire 232.46 acres of the Wilder property for a purchase price of $1.7 million;

b) William and Judith Wilder would retain two-10 acre lots which they would sell. The value of the lots has been taken into account when the purchase price of the 232.46 acre parcel was determined;

c) William and Judith Wilder will have the right to harvest wood for a 2 year period from the acquired land following good environmental forest management practices;

d) William and Judith Wilder will have the right to farm any farmlands included in the lands being acquired for as long as they operate their farm on the adjacent lands. The right is for the Wilders personal use only and is not transferable. We estimate that there is approximately 7 or 8 acres of farm land included in the lands being acquired by TRCA; and

e) TRCA will fence the limit between the lands being acquired by TRCA and the lands being retained by William and Judith Wilder.


RATIONALEThe subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Duffins Creek watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006-2010. It is located in the headwaters of the Duffins Creek, in a provincially significant Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) and contains a small portion of the provincially significant Glen Major Wetland Complex. The property is designated as Natural Core Area under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. The addition of the subject parcel will compliment TRCA's holdings in the Glen Major area.

403

TAXES AND MAINTENANCESince this property has been designated as a provincial significant ANSI and contains a portion of the provincially significant Glen Major Wetland Complex, it will be eligible to receive a property tax exemption. The addition of the subject parcel of land will not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs at this location.

FINANCIAL DETAILSThe subject property was identified on the list of properties approved by the City of Toronto to be funded from the city's Land Acquisition for Source Water Protection Reserve. The city will fund up to 50% of the costs of the acquisition for properties on the list located outside of the city boundaries. The reserve presently contains funding of $500,000.

Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) Foundation staff have indicated during preliminary discussions that they would support a contribution by the ORM Foundation to this purchase. Other potential funding sources are the Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham and the Ontario Heritage Trust under the Natural Spaces Land Acquisition & Stewardship Program. Expenditures related to this acquisition will be charged to account 004-11-502.

The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto will be requested to fund the balance of the required funding for the acquisition.

Negotiations have been conducted with the owner's agent, Mr. C. Y. Lee of C.Y. Lee Architect. The Rock Community Church presently uses the existing pond located on the subject lands for baptism ceremonies. At the time the original report was considered by the Executive Committee the proposal was for a 20 year exclusive lease of the subject lands for church-related activities. This term was not acceptable to the church trustees and they were proposing a substantially longer term. To resolve this issue, staff are recommending a nonexclusive licence of the property to the church for a 40 year period. The church trustees are in agreement with this proposal.


RATIONALEThe subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Humber River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006-2010.

TAXES AND MAINTENANCEAs stipulated in the nonexclusive use agreement, the owner will continue to be responsible for taxes and maintenance for the 40 year term of the agreement.

FINANCIAL DETAILSFunds for the costs related to this purchase are available in the TRCA land acquisition capital account.

RES.#B82/06 - CONTRACT RSD05-05 EXTENSIONSupply of Operated Heavy Construction Equipment and Dump Trucks. Extension of Contract RSD05-05, for the Supply of Rental Rates for Operated Heavy Construction Equipment and Dump Trucks, for a further one year period.


THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Contract RSD 05-05, Supply of Rental Rates for Operated Heavy Construction Equipment and Dump Trucks , awarded to Sartor & Susin Ltd. be extended for a period of one year to July 31, 2007 subject to terms and conditions satisfactory to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDAt Authority Meeting #6/05, held on July 22, 2005, Resolution #A168/05 was approved as follows:

THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) utilize, as required, the services of Sartor and Susin Ltd. for the supply of operated heavy construction equipment and dump trucks for the period August 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006, it being the proposal that best meets TRCA's requirements at the lowest overall cost;

AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to use the next lowest tender if the need arises.

In preparation of the original tender documents, staff included a provision whereby the successful bidder could request a one year extension to the contract at a specific maximum percent increase or decrease to the unit prices bid.

Sartor & Susin Ltd. have requested, in writing, a one year extension to their contract with an overall year two increase, in the unit rates, of 5 percent.

RATIONALETRCA and Sartor & Susin Ltd. have worked together on numerous successful projects over many years and through the tendering process, Sartor & Susin Ltd. have consistently provided the lowest unit rates with a broad spectrum of equipment and fully experienced operators.

Staff has reviewed the proposed new rate structure, in conjunction with a performance review, and are satisfied that the requested 5 percent increase is indicative of overall industry operating cost increases and are warranted.

FINANCIAL DETAILSThe value of this contract is estimated to be approximately $900,000, based upon a review of similar workloads in previous years. An increase or decrease in workload will have an impact on the value of this contract extension. The operated equipment is rented on an "as required" basis with no minimum or maximum rental hours guaranteed.

RES.#B83/06 - TENDER OPENING COMMITTEE #11/06TENDER RSD06-07 - Tender for the supply and placement of soil for Kleinburg New Forest North Project, City of Vaughan. The Tender Opening Committee opened tenders on June 16, 2006 for the supply and placement of clean soil on Toronto and Region Conservation Authority-owned tablelands located on the east side of Highway #27 and Islington Avenue in the Community of Kleinburg, City of Vaughan.


THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT contract RSD 06-07 for the supply and placement of 350,000 cubic metres of clean soil for the New Forest North project be awarded to Anpro Environmental Group Incorporated with compensation payable to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) at the tendered unit rate of $3.51 per cubic metre;

THAT in addition to the tipping fee , Anpro Environmental Group Incorporated will be responsible for all costs of sediment control , placing soil, fine grading and seeding the site with a basic grass mixture ;

THAT the funds received as compensation for receiving the surplus soil be set aside exclusively to offset project costs for future restoration and habitat enhancements within the property, long term management of the property and general TRCA purposes ;

AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to execute all the necessary documentation required .

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDThe Kleinburg Area Ratepayers Association (KARA) requested that Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and the City of Vaughan explore opportunities to enhance the natural habitat potential of a vacant portion of tablelands in the community of Kleinburg. The 14 hectare property located on the east side of Highway #27 and Islington Avenue in the community of Kleinburg consists of grass covered vacant tablelands with areas of recent fill deposition. The 14 hectare property has recently been conveyed to TRCA from the City of Vaughan.

414

TRCA staff, in conjunction with KARA and the City of Vaughan, has completed detailed design drawings showing how the existing tablelands will be enhanced significantly by importing and strategically placing clean surplus soil. It is the opinion of staff that this is an opportunity to create wetland and interpretive opportunities while creating the foundation for diverse habitat and public features. The soil placement will also provide the desired sound and visual attenuation structures for the neighboring residential community. Upon completion of the fill placement and grading phase of the project and subject to available revenues, TRCA staff will complete all site trails, plantings and associated landscaping as shown on the attached layout plan.

A stewardship agreement between TRCA, KARA and the City of Vaughan has been completed in which TRCA will assume the long term management responsibilities associated with the 14 hectare property. The agreement is similar to the stewardship agreement implemented in 1992 between TRCA and the City of Vaughan for the Foster Woods property in Kleinburg.

An archaeological assessment of the property was completed on behalf of the City of Vaughan in 1987 by Mayer, Pihl, Poulton and Associates Inc. and no sites of significance were found. TRCA staff has reviewed the assessment and concurs that the site is considered cleared from an archaeological perspective.

It is the opinion of staff that multiple sources of clean surplus soil will be available to complete the regeneration objectives and generate the necessary revenue to offset project costs and future costs associated with the management of the property. TRCA will implement a soils quality control program to ensure and confirm that all soils placed on TRCA-owned property meet Ministry of Environment Table 1 criteria.

As per Authority Resolution #A4/06, staff of TRCA were authorized to proceed with the project. An advertisement was placed in the Daily Commercial News requesting tenders from interested parties to undertake the required work. Tenders were received from the following nine contractors:

COMPANY NAME COMPENSATION OFFEREDAnpro Environmental Group Inc. $3.51 per cubic metreCoreydale Contracting Co. $3.15 per cubic metreAro Excavating Ltd. $2.70 per cubic metreGentile Contracting Ltd. $2.55 per cubic metreB. Gottardo Construction Ltd. $2.05 per cubic metreRagno Excavating Ltd. $2.00 per cubic metreClearway Group $1.50 per cubic metreConeco Earthmoving Construction $1.26 per cubic metreCon Drain Co. Ltd. $1.25 per cubic metre.

Staff reviewed all tenders and determined that the submission by Anpro Environmental Group Incorporated met all TRCA requirements and included the highest price per metre compensation of the nine tenders received.

415

RATIONALETRCA staff have negotiated similar agreements with developers and/or operated similar operations in other areas with considerable success. Examples of these successful projects include the berming along the new Markham by-pass east of the Ninth Line, berming along Highway 407 at Claireville Conservation Area, berming and wetland complex development at Kortright Centre for Conservation and berming and wetland complex development at Boyd North (along Islington Avenue north of Rutherford Road, City of Vaughan).

Staff see this regeneration work as a benefit to all involved as the surplus soil along with the financial compensation will allow for the creation of habitat opportunities and public features on the property.

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONEObtain various municipal permits prior to beginning fill placement.

FINANCIAL DETAILSTRCA staff anticipate that fill revenue from this project will offset direct project operating and restoration costs. The potential gross revenue from this project is approximately $1.2 million dollars. The direct project operating and restoration costs will be deducted from this revenue.

8.1.18 JOSEPH W.GRAYTo develop at the northwest corner of Kennedy Road and King Street, in the Town of Caledon, Etobicoke Creek Watershed as located on the property owned by Joseph W.Gray.

The purpose is to place fill material within a TRCA Regulated Area in order to improve existing agricultural operations.


Legal Survey, prepared by J.R. Finnie, dated May 8, 2002, stamped received by TRCA Planning and Development staff June 23, 2006;Site Plan & Cross-Section Plan, prepared by J. Gray, dated June 23, 2006, stamped received by TRCA Planning and Development staff June 23, 2006.


438

Proposal:This proposal involves the placement of approximately 9,000 cubic metres of fill material within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Etobicoke Creek Watershed in order to improve the existing agricultural use of the land. Recently, the TRCA has approved the development of a new residential dwelling and driveway on the subject lands. Please be advised that a TRCA permit was not required for the approved dwelling and driveway, which in the opinion of TRCA staff was unlikely to have an impact on the ecological features associated with this site. Traditional farm practices (i.e., cash crop) occur on the subject lands. However, a deep land depression exists in the area to which fill placement is to occur. Localized drainage from rain events and snow thaw reduce crop production within the depression. The proposed grading work will provide for improved drainage and increased crop production. The area to which this application applies is located within the Regulatory Floodplain. TRCA Water Resources staff has confirmed that this area floods as a result of an undersized culvert beneath King Street, which creates a backwater effect in the area to be filled. Although a loss of storage will occur, TRCA Water Resources staff has confirmed that this section of the floodplain is within an ineffective flow area and that flooding will not be exacerbated upstream and/or downstream of this site. The depression is void of any significant vegetation and is located on the tableland portion of the subject property. As such, no adverse ecological impacts are expected as a result of construction.

Control of Flooding:Due to the flood characteristics in this area, TRCA Water Resources staff has confirmed that no significant impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated as a result of fill placement.

Pollution:The proposed works are setback approximately 120 metres from the nearest watercourse feature. In addition, vehicular access to the land depression will not require crossing of the corridor feature. As such, sedimentation of the nearby Etobicoke Creek tributary is not anticipated. However, appropriate erosion and sediment controls (i.e., silt fence) have been proposed with this application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction.


PlantingsCompensatory planting is not required. The proposed fill placement is located within an area that is actively farmed.

Policy Guidelines:This proposal is in conformity with Section 4.2.2 (E) - Development and Redevelopment/Intensification Within Non-Established Communities/Highly Urbanized Areas - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

The Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program policies permit development within SPAs provided the technical requirements of the TRCA are satisfied. The current proposal satisfies the technical requirements, as the residence will be located outside of the 350 Year Storm Flood event and will be adequately flood proofed to the Regional Storm Flood elevation. All excess fill material will be removed from the site.

Control of Flooding:The proposed dwelling will be flood proofed to the Regional Storm Flood elevation. TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed works will not affect the storage and conveyance of flood waters. There will be no in-water works associated with this project, as the watercourse is not in close proximity to the site.

Pollution:Sediment and erosion control measures are not required for this project, as the property is over approximately 50 metres from the watercourse and is separated from the watercourse by residential development.

Conservation of Land:There are no geotechnical/slope stability issues associated with this project, as there is no slope on the property. The proposed works are not expected to impact any significant natural features. No fisheries issues or impacts on riparian vegetation are anticipated as the property is not adjacent to a waterway.

PlantingsThere are no significant natural features on concern to the TRCA on the property. No plantings are required or are feasible as part of this project.

Policy Guidelines:This proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.1 (B) - Development Guidelines for Development/Redevelopment within Designated Two Zone Areas or Special Policy Areas - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Proposal:The Town of Richmond Hill, Parks, Recreation and Culture Department seeks to place fill within a Regulated Area and construct in the Regional Storm Flood Plain in order to implement improvements to the Phyllis Rawlinson Park and Foster House. The Phyllis Rawlinson Park is an outdoor recreation and interpretive park located on the east side of Leslie Street south of Stouffville Road in the northeastern portion of the town. The park contains several buildings of heritage significance. The town is seeking to improve the park by restoring the heritage buildings and providing additional landscaping and pathways. Portions of the heritage buildings are adjacent to a watercourse which traverses the eastern portion of the parklands. As part of the landscaping and additional pathways, the town proposes to place fill within the Regional Storm Flood Plain.

Control of Flooding:The proposed placement of fill is minimal and will have a negligible impact on the control and storage of flood waters. An existing wooden bridge structure and debris is to be removed from the adjacent watercourse which will help to remove impediments to flood flows.

Pollution:Erosion and sediment control plans have been prepared which adequately separate areas to be disturbed from the watercourse to prevent sedimentation.

Conservation of Land:All areas to be disturbed during construction are to be stabilized. Plantings of native trees and shrubs are to take place as part of this proposal. There are no geotechincal issues associated with this proposal. This proposal is not located in an area with significant natural heritage features. In-water works will not be required for this proposal. Staff will issue a letter of advice on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) with this permit, as a DFO authorization pursuant to the Fisheries Act (Canada) was not required.

PlantingsPlanting plans have been incorporated as part of this proposal which have been reviewed by TRCA staff.

Proposal:The proposal is to conduct site grading, permit the placement and removal of material within a Regulated Area of a tributary of the Humber River and to alter a watercourse, in order to facilitate the development of a stormwater management pond and an associated storm outfall, to service the development of Planning Block 39, in the City of Vaughan.

Planning Block 39 in bounded by Pine Valley Drive to the west, Major Mackenzie to the north, Weston Road to the east and Rutherford Road to the south. The proposed works are in accordance with the approved Block 39 Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) and are located within a draft approved plan of subdivision (Vellore Village Estates, 19T-89024V). The proposed SWM facility will receive flows from Phase 7 within the aforementioned subdivision (approximately 41 ha).

471

The proposed stormwater facility is located on the east side of Pine Valley Drive, north of Rutherford Road. In discussions with the Region of York, representatives of the applicant and in consultation with TRCA technical staff, it was determined that the associated storm outfall would ideally be suited for development on the west side of Pine Valley Drive. The storm outfall headwall will be located within the Region of York right-of-way for Pine Valley Drive. It is noted that a cobble stone drainage swale conveying flows from the outfall to Marigold Creek is located within lands owned by the TRCA. As such, a temporary working easement/permission to enter will be required for the subject works. These approvals will be issued by staff within the Conservation Lands and Property Services Department and will be required prior to the issuance of the subject permit.

This permit application for servicing fulfills a condition of draft approval issued by the TRCA staff. Authority staff has received and reviewed detailed technical submissions relating to the proposed works and has commented appropriately. The agent, Ander Engineering & Associates, on behalf of the applicant, is in the process of addressing Authority comments. At this time, there remain minor issues relating to landscaping for the outfall and water management. TRCA staff is confident that these issues can be resolved shortly. It is noted that these issues in no way affect the location of the proposed works. The permit will not be released until such time as these issues are satisfactorily resolved.

Control of Flooding:The proposed stormwater facility is located away from the valley corridor and on tableland on the subject property. It is also located outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Humber River. Flows from the stormwater facility will be conveyed under Pine Valley Drive and discharged on the west side of Pine Valley Drive, at the associated storm outfall. It is noted that the proposed outfall will not impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters.

Pollution:Sediment and erosion control measures including sediment fencing will be erected prior to the initiation of works and maintained for the duration of construction, to ensure sediment does not enter the watercourse or the nearby valley system.

Conservation of Land:There are no geotechnical/slope stability concerns associated with the proposed works. The proposed works will not result in a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat. As such, a Letter of Advice will be issued on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for the proposed outfall and the flows that are to be discharged into Marigold Creek. No other significant natural features will be impacted by the proposed works.

PlantingsExtensive landscape planting plans for the proposed SWM facility and outfall will be carried out in accordance with TRCA Planting Guidelines.

Policy Guidelines:This proposal complies with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

TOWN OF MARKHAM

8.1.49 LINDVEST PROPERTIES (CORNELL) LTD.To develop, alter a watercourse, place material within a regulated area on Lot 9, 10, Concession 9, southeast of Highway 7 and 9th Line, in the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Lindvest Properties (Cornell) Ltd.

The purpose is to conduct site grading, permit the temporary/permanent placement, dumping and/or removal of material within a Regulated Area and to alter a tributary of the Rouge River, in order to facilitate the development of a triple-box culvert crossing within the Grand Cornell residential subdivision, in the Town of Markham.


Letter of Undertaking, prepared by Ecotech Consulting Engineers , dated June 29, 2006, received June 30, 2006.


Proposal:The proposal is to conduct site grading, permit the temporary/permanent placement, dumping and/or removal of material within a Regulated Area and to alter a tributary of the Rouge River, in order to facilitate the development of a triple box-culvert crossing within the Grand Cornell residential subdivision, in the Town of Markham.

The Grand Cornell subdivision is located near the southeast corner of 9th Line and Highway 7, north of Highway 407. The proposed works are located on Michelena Terrace and will facilitate the development of the southern portion of the Cornell Community in Markham. The proposed triple box crossing will eventually convey flows from Tributary B within the Cornell Community. Flows from this tributary are to be conveyed through a permanent channel which was created to convey post-development flows from upstream of the proposed works. This reconstructed channel was previously permitted under Ontario Regulation 158 (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways) Permit No. C-05109, which was issued on May 6, 2005.

479

Permanent flows from Tributary B are to be ultimately conveyed to the new channel. However,Tributary B flows, at this time, are conveyed through a temporary channel leading to the Tributary B stormwater facility, located just north of Highway 407. This is due to fact that a new culvert under Highway 7 which was to be constructed to convey permanent flows from the upstream drainage area of Cornell through the reconstructed and onto the Tributary B SWM facility is currently incomplete. Previously, the Highway 7 culvert was approved under O.Reg. 158 Permit No. C-5212, issued on July 11, 2005. Once these works are completed, flows from the temporary channel will be changed over and conveyed through the Highway 7 culvert and into the new permanent channel.

The proposed culvert crossing will traverse across the permanent channel, which at this time is dry. It is noted that the potential loss of fish habitat within Tributary B of the Little Rouge River was authorized by the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) as part of Fisheries Act Authorization # 525-1342 (1999). This authorization was provided for the above previously approved works to construct a new tributary channel and to allow for the development of the triple-box culvert under Highway 7. However, given that flows are currently not flowing into the permanent channel, the proposed culvert crossing works will not result in a Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat.

Control of Flooding:It is noted that the permanent channel was designed to convey the Regional and 100 year storm event. As such, the proposed triple-box culvert has been designed to convey flows consistent with a Regional Event. Therefore, there will no upstream or downstream flooding impacts resulting from the proposed works.

Pollution:Sediment and erosion control measures will be erected around the work area and maintained for the duration of construction.

Conservation of Land:There are no geotechnical/slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. No in-water works are proposed as part of the subject application. No other significant natural features will be affected by the proposed triple-box culvert crossing.

PlantingsExtensive landscape plans detailing native, non-invasive plantings have been submitted for the culvert crossing. Additional plantings for the associated permanent channel have also been provided.

Policy Guidelines:This proposal is consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Letter of undertaking provided by Mark Schollen , Schollen and Company Inc., dated July 5, 2006, to address any outstanding TRCA Engineering and Ecology issues prior to issuance of the permit .


Proposal:This permit forms the first component of the proposed Honda lands development, located in the Headford Business Park, between Highway 404 and Leslie Street, south of Major Mackenzie Drive, in the Town of Richmond Hill. The current proposal involves the removal of existing barn structures located within the Rouge River valley on lands owned by Honda Canada. These remnant barns are no longer in use, and are being removed to allow for the restoration of the valley corridor, which will be conveyed into public ownership through the planning process for the adjacent tablelands. Subsequent permit applications for other components of this project will be bought forward to the Executive Committee for their consideration in Fall and Winter 2006.

The majority of works to be completed under this permit will occur outside of the Regulatory floodplain, while a small portion of the temporary removal works will be completed within the floodplain. No in-stream works are proposed with this application. All areas in which site alterations are to occur will be stabilized following removal of the structures. Permanent restoration of the disturbed areas will be completed as a component of the larger valley land restoration works, to be completed under a future TRCA permit application.

Control of Flooding:The proposed works are partially located with the Regional Storm Floodplain, however, due to the temporary nature of the works, TRCA staff are satisfied that the works will not adversely affect the flow and/or conveyance of floodwaters.

Pollution:Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures have been proposed with this application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction.

481

Conservation of Land:All disturbed areas will be stabilized after the removal of the barns and restored to pre-construction conditions were appropriate. There are no geotechnical concerns with this application.

PlantingsAll proposed plantings and seed mixes used to stabilize the disturbed areas will be consistent with TRCA's planting guidelines.

Drawing No. S-1, General Arrangement Plan , prepared by Chrisholm, Fleming and Associates, received on June 27, 2006.


Proposal:The purpose is to construct within a Regional Storm Floodplain of the Don River to facilitate the replacement of a pedestrian bridge at Edwards Gardens. The former bridge was demolished as a result of the August 19, 2005 flood event. The site is located west of Leslie Street and south of Lawrence Avenue in Etobicoke York within the City of Toronto. The proposed construction is part of the overall maintenance of bridge structures within the park. All works are sufficiently setback from significant natural features and no in water works are required.

Control of Flooding:The bridge is located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, however, the works proposed will not affect the existing hydraulic opening. As such, no significant impacts to the storage and conveyance of stream flows are anticipated as a result of this project.

Pollution:Sediment and erosion control measures will be installed and maintained during construction to ensure that no debris enters the watercourse.


PlantingsAll disturbed areas will be restored upon the completion of the project.

Policy Guidelines:The works are consistent with Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Red-Line Revised Proposed Box Culvert Details , Drawing No. 02-064-BC, prepared by Condeland Engineering Ltd ., Revision No. 2 (revised May 15, 2006), received May 23, 2006.


Proposal:The proposal is to conduct site grading, permit the temporary/permanent placement and/or removal of material within a Regulated Area of the Humber River and interfere with a watercourse, in order to implement a comprehensive restoration plan relating to a stream realignment, fish habitat enhancements and combined riparian plantings at 1051 Kipling Avenue (Planning Block 48), in the City of Vaughan.

Site Context:The subject site is located east of Kipling Avenue, north of Teston Road and is approximately 80.91 ha (200 acres) in size. The subject property is accessible from a narrow farm laneway, located off of Kipling Avenue, which leads to a farmhouse set back approximately 1.0 km from the road. There are two existing broken concrete culverts within the aforementioned laneway, which provide access to the farmhouse and allow for the operation of farm equipment, used to cultivate crops on the property. Two tributaries of the Humber River traverse the subject site; the first tributary originates north of Kirby Road, just south of King-Vaughan Road, in an area with numerous small kettle ponds and lakes. This watercourse is a small riverine coldwater system, forming part of the East Humber River and is located closer to the west side of the subject site. The second watercourse, which is considered small, is located further to the east of the main tributary. This tributary is also classified as a small riverine coldwater system and originates near Kirby Road, flowing south and then joining the aforementioned main tributary south of the subject property. Flows within this small tributary are intermittent in nature, providing seasonal or indirect fish habitat.

Background:In October 2003, TRCA Enforcement staff noted that the applicant had conducted significant works which resulted in the alteration of the two watercourses on the subject site. This work was conducted in the absence of requisite approvals from the TRCA (under Ontario Regulation 158 - Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways, which was in force at that time) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (HADD - Harmful Alteration, Disruption or Destruction of fish habitat). The unapproved works included a realignment of the main watercourse on the subject property. Furthermore, a berm was constructed, restricting access to the flood plain. The channel was also widened resulting in laminar flow, and thereby creating a low-flow barrier to fish passage. Lastly, new culverts were installed which were not properly sized or installed correctly to allow for the passage of Regional Storm Flows or fish.

506

Subsequent to the issuance of a TRCA violation order, the applicant submitted an application for an O.Reg. 158 permit in late October 2003, in order to resolve the violation and conduct restoration works for the two altered watercourses. The proposed works include the removal of the broken concrete box culverts and the installation of new bottom box culverts. This will provide a benefit to fish habitat on the subject site. In addition, the improperly installed culverts are also to be removed. Furthermore, natural channel design principles will be employed to restore the watercourses and re-establish their associated flood plain areas. This will include the implementation of a comprehensive restoration planting plan for the channel banks and the planting of the flood plain areas.

In light of the sensitivity of the watercourses and the degree of disturbance incurred, the proponent will be contributing funds to the establishment of a comprehensive monitoring program for the proposed works. This will include measurements of channel morphology, aquatic biota and riparian vegetation. The program will also define a set of target objectives for channel performance that will be used to determine whether maintenance or modifications to the channel are required during the monitoring time period. Issuance of the subject permit will be contingent upon the receipt of the aforementioned funds for the establishment of this monitoring program.

The above permit application was submitted and reviewed under Ontario Regulation 158. Furthermore, the proposed works were also reviewed to ensure consistency with Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses), which came into effect on May 8, 2006. It is noted that the issuance of the permit for the works will be provided under O.Reg. 166/06.

Control of Flooding:The proposed works will result in the re-establishment and re-planting of the associated flood plain areas. As such, the works will not impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters and will in fact, reinstate the natural flood plain for the area.

Pollution:Erosion and sediment control measures will be erected prior to the initiation of the subject works and maintained for the duration of construction, to ensure that sediment does not enter the nearby watercourses.

Conservation of Land:There are no geotechnical slope stability issues associated with the proposed works. Given that the subject application is proposed to address an outstanding violation on the property, authorization from DFO will be required. The proposed works will be carried out during the coldwater timing window, between July 1 to September 15.

PlantingsA comprehensive valley land restoration plan has been submitted and reviewed by TRCA technical staff. Plantings of native, non-invasive material will be carried out along the channel banks and throughout the flood plain areas of the affected watercourses.

507

Policy Guidelines:This proposal complies with Section 4.2.2 (F) - Opportunities for Regeneration and Section 5.1 - Flood Control Remedial Works, of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program

RES.#B88/06 - AWARD OF CONTRACTRSD06-11 for Supply and Delivery of Cobble Stone, at the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project, City of Toronto.. Award of Contract for Supply and Delivery of Cobble Stone at the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project.


THAT Contract RSD06-11 for Supply and Delivery of 7,000 tonnes of Cobble Stone at the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project be awarded to Dufferin Aggregates at a unit cost of $24.25, total cost not to exceed $169,750 plus applicable taxes, it being the lowest tender that met Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDThis tender was publicly advertised in the Daily Commercial News. Three companies provided sealed bids to supply the project with 7,000 tonnes of cobble stone, which were opened by the Tender Opening Committee on June 9, 2006. The tenders have been reviewed by staff and the results are as follows:

RATIONALEStaff has reviewed the tenders and recommend that the lowest bid received for Contract RSD06-11 from Dufferin Aggregates, by triaxle dump trucks, be accepted for the supply and delivery of cobble stone at a unit price of $24.25 per tonne (plus GST).

508

It was determined that it would be more effective to deliver the stone to the site by triaxle truck due to stringent CN Rail safety requirements. CN Rail requires a flag person to be stationed at the level crossing entering this project for all tractor trailers accessing the site and, according to CN Rail, securing a flag person on a regular basis is unlikely. Given that the window of opportunity to complete this work prior to the park opening in September is quickly closing, staff recommended the low bidder supply the material using standard triaxle truck.

FINANCIAL DETAILSFunds are identified in the "Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project, City of Toronto".Funding for the project is being made available from the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation, in account number 223-70.
