The Barrie Creeks, Lovers Creek and Hewitt’s Creek Subwatershed Plan 8 Combined Recommendations This chapter provides a compiled list of the recommendations identified in the detailed technical chapters of this subwatershed plan. These recommendations will be brought forward and prioritized in the development of an implementation plan for Barrie Creeks, Lovers Creek, and Hewitt’s Creek subwatersheds. The recommendations in this chapter have been grouped into categories of similar issues. Thus, for example, recommendations derived from the terrestrial natural heritage chapter may be grouped with recommendations derived from the water quality chapter, in cases where they address shared issues. In such cases, the numbering system will allow the reader to trace the recommendation back to the chapter where it originated. Recommendations in the following list are numbered as chapter number – recommendation number. In cases where a recommendation originated from more than one chapter, it is numbered based on its first occurrence, with all other occurrences listed in parentheses. It is recognized that many of the undertakings in the following set of recommendations are dependent on funding from all levels of government. Should there be financial constraints, it may affect the ability of the partners to achieve these recommendations. These constraints will be addressed more fully in the implementation phase. Chapter 8: Combined Recommendations 333
The Barrie Creeks, Lovers Creek and Hewitt’s Creek Subwatershed Plan 8.1 Protection and Policy 8.1.1 Official Plan consistency Recommendation 6-1 – That the LSRCA, MOE and MNR assist subwatershed municipalities in ensuring official plans are consistent with the recommendations presented in the Barrie Creeks, Lovers Creek and Hewitt’s Creek subwatershed plan, as approved by the LSRCA Board of Directors. This approval will be subsequent to consultation with municipalities, the subwatershed plan working group, and the general public, as outlined in the Guidelines for developing subwatershed plans for the Lake Simcoe watershed (May, 2011). 8.1.2 The adaptive watershed planning process Recommendation 8-1 – That the LSRCA and other relevant and interested stakeholders establish an implementation working group to assist in coordinating the implementation priority recommendations to address the most significant threats in these subwatersheds. Recommendation 8-2 (3-21) - That the LSRCA, MNR and MOE analyse and report the results of the existing and proposed water quality, water quantity, and aquatic and terrestrial natural heritage monitoring programs annually, and that the information be used to update the LSRCA Watershed Report Card. Further, stakeholders should be made aware when updates are available, and be provided access to the monitoring data collected via a web portal, to increase distribution and communication of this data. Recommendation 8-3 – That the LSRCA, with the assistance of the other government agencies and stakeholder groups involved in implementing the recommendations of this subwatershed plan, report on the progress of this implementation annually. Recommendation 8-4 – Within five years of the completion of this subwatershed plan, that the LSRCA, in collaboration with MOE, MNR, subwatershed municipalities, and other interested and relevant stakeholders, review and update this subwatershed plan. 8.1.3 Protecting Natural Heritage Recommendation 6-2 – Recommendation 6-2, which relates to mitigation for the loss of natural heritage features through development, remains in discussion with LSRCA’s partners Recommendation 6-3 – That the MNR, MOE, and LSRCA review the terrestrial natural heritage data provided by the comprehensive monitoring program, when it becomes available, to define site level characteristics or indicators of ‘high quality’ natural heritage features, and provide policy recommendations to subwatershed municipalities (as necessary) to ensure high quality natural heritage features are adequately protected from development and site alteration. Recommendation 6-4 –That the City of Barrie confirm the existence of the tallgrass prairie remnant in Allandale Park and, if a remnant still persists, develop and implement a management plan for its preservation and enhancement, and examine opportunities to provide interpretive values for the public. Recommendation 6-5 – That the MNR, MAFRA, LSRCA, subwatershed municipalities, and interested members of the agricultural community review the results of the studies Chapter 8: Combined Recommendations 334
