At this time, a Regional Storm control strategy is being assessed and a final approach has not been selected. Further discussions with TRCA and the City of Pickering are recommended. No Schedule C Class EA projects are anticipated. Should any recommended facilities trigger either the Conservation Ontario Class EA for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects, 2009 or Schedule C of the Municipal Class EA, 2000, as amended 2007, additional Class EA documentation will be completed as needed as follow-up to this MESPA. In accordance with the studies undertaken, the Seaton Landowners Group has determined that there are three arterial and collector road projects for which the landowners are the proponent and which require compliance with Schedule C of the Class EA. These projects are identified and reviewed in Chapter C, Transportation of this report. In accordance with the Master Plan provisions of the Municipal Class EA (section A.2.7 and Appendix 4), the Seaton Landowners Group has adopted approach #2 to Master Planning for planning of the City arterial and collector roads. In this approach, the proponent undertakes a Master Plan which addresses all the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA and this is documented in a report (i.e. the MESPA). Because three of the City arterial and collector roads are subject to Schedule C of the Municipal Class EA, they must in addition, meet the requirements of Phases 3 and 4 of the Class EA. The MESPA, as a Master Plan, is not open to appeal to the Minister of No The Sernas Group Inc., Stonybrook Consulting Inc.

the Environment for Part II Order requests under the Environmental Assessment Act until a Notice of Study Completion for each project is issued. At the appropriate time, closer to the anticipated date of construction, road projects which are subject to Schedule C will address the requirements of Phases 3 and 4 of the Class EA planning process. Following that study, this process will be documented in a Class EA Study known as an Environmental Study Report and a Notice of Study Completion for specific arterial and collector roads projects will be issued. The timing of the Phases 3 and 4 study of the road projects will be established in consultation with the City and be linked to the Planning Act approvals such as plans of subdivision. At this time, there is no known need to restrict the timing of the Environmental Study Reports since the development approved under the Planning Act applications will be conditional upon the completion of the road projects. City staff will be active stakeholders in the Phases 3 and 4 planning process. Subsequent to this MESPA, closer to the time of implementation, these arterial and collector roads will comply with Phases 3 and 4 of the Municipal Class EA, 2000, as amended 2007, via separate Environmental Study Reports. 9.3 PROBLEM STATEMENT Phase 1 of the Class EA process involves identifying and describing the problems and opportunities pertaining to the projects, in this case, the non-Regional arterial and collector roads required for the development of the Seaton Community. In 2006, the Province of Ontario approved the CPDP that established a vision for the development of a sustainable urban community in Seaton 3 . The CPDP, recently amended in 2012, established that Seaton would grow by the addition of a series of urban neighbourhoods. Through the Provincial Facilitator’s office, a proposed conformity amendment to the City of Pickering conformity Official Plan amendment was prepared. This City Official Plan amendment is known as the Seaton Conformity Official Plan or Amendment #22; it was endorsed by City Council in April February 2011 and approved, in part, by the OMB on September 10, 2012 as Pickering Official Plan Amendment No. 22 4 (OPA No. 22). Within the CPDP and the City of Pickering Conformity Official Plan Aamendment No. 22, there has been established a hierarchy of studies, including the Master Environmental Servicing Plan, all of which must be completed prior to development occurring. The existing transportation system of non-Regional roads, transit, pedestrian linkages, and pathways will not adequately accommodate the mobility needs of future residents and workers within Seaton. New roads are projected to be required to serve planned 3 At the same time, the CPDP established a vision for the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve. 4 At the time of preparing this MESPA, the Pickering Official Plan Aamendment No. 22 for Seaton was not yet approved and in effect. As a result of the declaration of Provincial interest, decisions by the Ontario Municipal Board on planning matters related to Seaton will not become final and binding until such time as the Lieutenant Governor in Council makes a decision. This decision could confirm, vary or rescind the decision(s) of the Board. The Sernas Group Inc., Stonybrook Consulting Inc.
