Sutton Secondary Plan Review Study May 2008 Existing Environmental Conditions and Opportunities/Constraints Analysis Project No. TA4468 2.2 In-season Field Surveys Due to the size of the study area and access limitations, in-season vegetation, wildlife and fisheries surveys were not completed to verify environmental conditions and constraints/opportunities to future urban land use. Vegetation, wildlife and fisheries characterization was based on a desk-top analysis of existing background reports/mapping and windshield surveys. 2.3 Application of Environmental Data The results of the background data review, as described above, were used to: • characterize and map the natural environment features/functions within and adjacent to the study area; • identify opportunities/constraints to future urban land use; and, • identify habitat restoration/enhancement opportunities, including buffers and corridor/linkage enhancements. The results of this analysis were used to develop a Natural Heritage System for the Sutton Secondary Plan Review Study area. A more detailed discussion of the environmental analysis is provided below. 3.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS OVERVIEW 3.1 Vegetation The study area is comprised of a mosaic of cultural, terrestrial and wetland communities, active agricultural land and existing built-up urban areas (Sutton, Jackson’s Point). Cultural vegetation features within the study area consist of meadow, shrub thicket and woodland communities that have established on former agricultural lands. Terrestrial features include deciduous, mixed and coniferous forest associations of varying species composition, age structure and disturbance history. Wetlands within the study area consist of swamp (coniferous, mixed, deciduous, shrub thicket), marsh (meadow, open water) and aquatic communities associated with areas of high water table conditions, riparian zones (e.g. Black River and tributaries) and closed depressions.
