Sutton Secondary Plan Review Study May 2008 Existing Environmental Conditions and Opportunities/Constraints Analysis Project No. TA4468 • Control/manage pedestrian access within natural areas to protect sensitive wetland, upland and aquatic habitat. 4.1 Additional Recommendations Groundwater Recharge/Discharge Zones The study area supports important and sensitive groundwater recharge/discharge functions that should be protected. Future development applications must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the review and approval agencies that appropriate mitigation measures will be implemented to maintain (and enhance where appropriate) the pre-development groundwater regime (i.e. in terms of quantity, quality, flow path, and discharge points). Unique Physiographic Features The study area contains unique physiographic features such as the Virginia Beach Relict, located in the northeast quadrant of the Sutton Secondary Plan Review Study area. Where feasible, new development should have regard for this feature due to its influence on topography, surface water/groundwater regime, and linkage functions. Landform conservation should be addressed as part of an EIS at the time of a development application. Linkages and Corridors The protection of existing linkages and corridors are essential for sustaining the natural heritage system within the Sutton Secondary Plan Review Study area, as well as within the adjacent Greenbelt lands. At the development application stage, existing linkage connections and corridors (including restoration and enhancement opportunities) must be identified through an EIS and appropriate measures taken to ensure their protection and function. Natural Hazards and Lake Simcoe Shoreline Natural hazard lands, including areas subject to flooding, erosion, steep slopes and unstable soils should be avoided. Hazardous lands adjacent to the shoreline of Lake Simcoe which are impacted by flooding, erosion or dynamic beach hazards should also be avoided. LGL Limited environmental research associates Page 18
Sutton Secondary Plan Review Study May 2008 Existing Environmental Conditions and Opportunities/Constraints Analysis Project No. TA4468 5.0 NEXT STEPS Alternative land use concept plans for the Sutton Secondary Plan Review Study will be evaluated in the context of the proposed opportunities/constraints framework (Natural Heritage System) and the Black River Subwatershed Study. An environmental impact analysis and mitigation strategy will be prepared for the preferred land use alternative, including refinement of the environmental protection and enhancement/restoration measures described above. Guidelines for an environmental monitoring program will also be provided. LGL Limited environmental research associates Page 19
