RE: GREENLANDS ACQUISITION PROJECT FOR 2006-2010 

Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Duffins River Watershed 

Ronald Glen Hingston 

CFN 38555 

______________________________________________________________________________ 

KEY ISSUE 

Acquisition of land located west of Seventh Concession Road, north of Chalk Lake Road, 

Township of Uxbridge, Regional Municipality of Durham, under the "Greenlands Acquisition 

Project for 2006-2010", Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Duffins Creek watershed. 


THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 10.48 hectares (25.9 acres) more or 

less, consisting of a rectangular shaped parcel of vacant land, being Part of Lot 6 

Concession 6, designated as Part 1 on Registered Plan 40R-5547, Township of Uxbridge, 

Regional Municipality of Durham, be purchased from Ronald Glen Hingston; 

THAT the purchase price be $130,000 together with Mr. Hingston’s legal costs to a 

maximum of $1,000; 

THAT the acquisition by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is 

conditional on the availability of all necessary funding; 

THAT TRCA receive conveyance of the land required free from encumbrance, subject to 

existing service easements; 

THAT the firm of Gardiner Roberts LLP, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to 

complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred 

incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be 

paid; 

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take whatever action may 

be required to give effect thereto including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the 

signing and execution of any documents. 

BACKGROUND 

Resolution #A260/05 at Authority Meeting #9/05, held on November 25, 2005, approved the 

Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2006-2010. 

The rectangular shaped subject lands are 10.48 hectares (25.9 acres) more or less and are 

landlocked having no roadway access. The subject lands abut unopened municipal road 

allowances to the east and south. TRCA owns land on three sides of the subject property.

Negotiations have been conducted with the owner Mr. Ronald Hingston. 

The offer at hand is supported by an appraised value based on independent valuation. 

Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. 

RATIONALE 

The 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 in the headwaters of the Duffins Creek and is designated Natural Core Area in the Oak 

Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. 

The property is also within the provincially significant Uxbridge Forest Kames Area of Natural or 

Scientific Interest and is part of the Uxbridge Forest Environmental Significant Area. 

TAXES AND MAINTENANCE 

Based on a review of the environmental criteria for lands that are eligible to receive a property 

tax exemption under the provincial Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program, it would appear 

that all of the subject property would be eligible for exemption for the 2011 taxation year. 

The addition of the subject parcel of land will not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs 

at this location. 


The Ontario Heritage Trust (OHT) has agreed to fund up to $76,750 of the purchase price and 

related costs. Durham Region will be requested to fund 40% of the purchase price and related 

costs which is in accordance with their funding guidelines. The remainder of the funding will be 

from land sale revenue. 

Expenditures related to this acquisition will be charged to account 004-11-502.

Item EX7.3 

RE: TORONTO LADIES GOLF COURSE EROSION CONTROL PROJECT 

Town of Markham Agreement 

______________________________________________________________________________ 

KEY ISSUE 

Recommends approval of an agreement to deal with slope stabilization for a section of the 

valley wall in the Don River watershed, adjacent to the Toronto Ladies Golf Course in the Town 

of Markham, Regional Municipality of York. 


THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT approval be granted to enter into an 

agreement with the Town of Markham for the completion of erosion control works in the 

vicinity of Toronto Ladies Golf Course, Don River watershed, Regional Municipality of 

York; 

THAT the agreement be subject to availability of funding from the Town of Markham and 

any other terms and conditions as may be required by Toronto and Region Conservation 

Authority (TRCA) staff and solictor; 

THAT TRCA provide up to $25,000 in funding from the 2010 Region of York erosion 

control program budget to aid in the implementation of construction; 

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take the necessary action 

to implement the agreement including obtaining any needed approvals and the signing 

and execution of documents. 

RATIONALE 

TRCA staff has been contacted by the Town of Markham with a request for assistance in the 

planning and implementation of erosion control works to address a gully forming on a valley 

wall of the Don River watershed. The erosion site is located on the valley wall, of the East 

Don River, above the Toronto Ladies Golf Course, and adjacent to the parking lot at St. 

Vladimir’s Church. The erosion appears to have been caused by sheet flow across the 

asphalt parking lot concentrating in one corner of the parking lot and creating a gully in the 

valley wall, as the water moves down the slope. This problem appears to be compounded 

by the lack of proper drainage in the parking lot. 

Scope of the Works 

The scope of the works to be undertaken for this project by TRCA will be separated into 

three stages; Survey and Planning, Detailed Design and Approvals, and Implementation of 

Works.

Stage 1: Survey and Planning 

� undertake detailed site survey including the collection of topographic data as 

required including the locations of any underground utilities in the vicinity of the 

proposed works; 

� issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to retain a consulting engineering firm to 

undertake geotechnical investigation, develop preliminary design option(s) and cost 

estimates; 

� initiate a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) under the Municipal 

Planning Act. 

Stage II: Detailed Design and Approvals 

� coordinate the Municipal Class EA, including public consultation, development and 

submission of the Environmental Study Report; 

� work with consulting engineers to develop preliminary design options for review by 

the Town of Markham; 

� work with consulting engineers to finalize the preferred preliminary option and to 

provide stamped engineering drawings of the preferred design, and specifications; 

� coordinate the review of permit applications and ensure the receipt of all necessary 

approvals in accordance with the Class EA process; 

� development of a detailed cost estimate for the implementation of works. 

Stage III: Implementation of Works 

� undertake construction works in accordance with the approved design; 

� based on preliminary cost estimates, it is anticipated that the cost for this stage of 

the works will be upward of $500,000. 


The funding for this project is to be provided by the Town of Markham for the first two 

stages of the project: Survey and Planning, and Detailed Design and Approvals. The third 

stage of the project; Implementation of Works, is to be shared between the Town of 

Markham and TRCA, whereby TRCA funding will be provided from the 2010 Region of York 

erosion control program budget, at a cost of no greater than $25,000. 

Funding for the TRCA portion of this partnership project will be identified in the 2010 York 

Region erosion control capital budget, under account code 185-01 to an upset limit of 

$25,000. The remainder of the project costs will be funded under agreement with the Town 

of Markham.

Item EX7.4 

RE: REFORESTATION SEEDLING PROCUREMENT, 2010 - 2016 

Award of sole source contract to Somerville Nurseries Inc. 

______________________________________________________________________________ 

KEY ISSUE 

Recommends approval of a sole source contract with Somerville Nurseries Inc. to supply 

seedlings for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's 2010-2016 planting program. 


THAT the contract for the supply of reforestation seedlings for the 2010-2016 program 

years be awarded to Somerville Nurseries Inc. at a total cost not to exceed $125,000 plus 

applicable taxes, per program year, it being the sole supplier that can provide the product 

which best meets Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications at an 

acceptable price; 

THAT the contract be on terms and conditions satisfactory to TRCA staff and, as 

necessary, solicitor; 

AND FURTHER THAT authorized staff be directed to take the action necessary to 

implement the contract including obtaining necessary approvals and signing and 

execution of documents. 

BACKGROUND 

At Executive Committee Meeting #7/08, held on September 5, 2008, Resolution #B101/08 was 

approved, in part, as follows: 

THAT staff be authorized to negotiate terms satisfactory to Toronto and Region 

Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff with Somerville Nurseries Inc. to ensure an 

uninterrupted supply of reforestation seedlings based on TRCA seedling demand 

forecasts to provide for program and project needs to December 31, 2009;... 

At this meeting approval was granted for the purchase of seedlings for 2009 planting projects 

and for staff to negotiate with Somerville Nurseries Inc. for the growing of material for 2010 and 

2011. Staff is seeking approval to extend the seedling demand forecast to include the projected 

requirements for an additional five year period of 2012 through 2016 program years, along with 

the approval to purchase these seedlings provided pricing remains favourable and funding is 

available.

TRCA and other Greater Toronto Area (GTA) conservation authorities (Credit Valley, 

Nottawasaga Valley, Lake Simcoe Region and Halton Region) have been coordinating the 

purchase of reforestation seedlings as a means of supplying their individual program 

requirements. While each conservation authority forecasts its own requirements independently, 

Somerville Nurseries offers equivalent unit pricing (below market list) to the conservation 

authorities, providing each the benefit of combined purchase pricing. 

RATIONALE 

Somerville Nurseries Inc. has a long history of supplying conservation authorities requirements 

for consistent quality reforestation stock in the south and central Ontario regions. For more 

than ten years they have been TRCA's primary supplier for seedling stock, with some additional 

seedlings being procured from other smaller growers further afield when necessary. The only 

other potential supplier for these seedlings is located in Kemptville Ontario, over 4 hours away. 

During planting season, seedlings are often picked up twice daily making this other supplier 

much less feasible, especially considering the higher pricing. 

Tree seedling production usually requires a four year commitment from both the supplier and 

buyers due to the time required to collect and sow seed and grow the seedlings to the required 

sizes. TRCA would like to reaffirm its commitment with Somerville Nurseries through 2016 to 

ensure an uninterrupted supply of tree seedlings to meet TRCA's projected demands for 

programs and projects. 

Tree seedling purchases from Somerville Nurseries for program years 2008 and 2009 averaged 

$91,000. annually before taxes. While numbers for 2010 are low, indications are that the 

demand in 2011 and 2012 will exceed these averages. 

Somerville Nurseries Inc. continues to offer TRCA the best combination of: 

� consistent seedling quality; 

� seed zone and genetic source control; 

� locally collected native seed, locally grown seedlings; 

� excellent unit pricing; 

� ability to provide for identified stock - species, size, type, age-class; 

� flexibility to meet last minute demand for additional stock; 

� convenience as the most local supplier; and 

� willingness to work with conservation authorities to achieve seedling target demand. 

Therefore, staff recommend that TRCA extend the existing seedling supply agreement for a 

further five years to ensure that no shortfall in seedling inventories affects our projected 

reforestation planting commitments. Failure to take such action may result in scheduling 

delays and/or cancellation of orders for reforestation stock. The net result could mean a 

reduction in planting effort. 


All costs associated with the procurement of reforestation stock are recovered from the end 

user program or project in the year in which the seedlings are purchased and delivered. Funds 

have been allocated in individual project/program budgets for the 2010 year. 

Based on an average unit cost of $0.56 per tree (2010 pricing, applicable taxes extra), the 

anticipated cost for 2010 seedling supply is expected to be not more than $60,000.

Somerville Nurseries Inc. requires a 25% deposit (standard terms) to confirm the spring 

seedling order by December 31st of the previous year.

Item EX9.1 

RE: RESTORATION SERVICES CENTRE 

Energy Performance Review 

______________________________________________________________________________ 

KEY ISSUE 

To report on the Restoration Services Centre's energy performance and cost savings over the 

two year period ending June 2009. 


THAT the staff report on Restoration Services Centre (RSC) energy performance review 

be received. 

BACKGROUND 

At Authority Meeting #9/07, held on November 30, 2007, members directed staff to report back 

in two years on the buildings performance in terms of energy consumption, cost savings and 

absenteeism rates, relative to increased construction costs to achieve Leadership in Energy 

and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification. 

RSC was designed and constructed to meet LEED Platinum rating, the highest rating available 

within the LEED Canada NC-1.0 rating system. RSC's design incorporates creative, adaptive 

and cost conscious solutions to address energy and water conservation targets established for 

the project. Throughout the design and construction phases of the project, both staff and 

consultants worked closely to achieve an aesthetically pleasing, environmentally sustainable 

and functional building. The LEED Platinum designation, awarded by the Canadian Green 

Building Council (CaGBC), is proof positive that TRCA has reached this goal. 

During the design process and subsequent construction and completion of the RSC, 

Enermodal Engineering Ltd. was tasked to monitor and compare RSC's predicted and actual 

energy and water consumption against a Model National Building Code (MNBC) reference 

building - a calibrated simulation that compares RSC to a hypothetical baseline building that 

meets the minimum requirements of the Canada Building Code. The energy intensity (EI) 

rating for the baseline building was modelled at 434 ekWh/m 2 

and the energy simulation 

predicted the RSC design would yield an EI of 150 ekWh/m 2 

. The actual EI established after a 

full one year monitoring program was calculated to be 151 ekWh/m 2 

- effectively confirming the 

design and operating criteria for RSC were valid and that the building was performing as 

planned. 

RATIONALE 

Staff has completed a review of the energy consumption records and utilities invoices to 

compare year over year performance of RSC for the two year period from July 2007 to June 

2009.

Year 1 (2007-2008) results indicate that RSC was operating at a 65% reduction in energy 

consumption over the MNBC reference building equating to a electrical demand savings of 

292,883 ekWh. This translated into an energy cost savings of $22,725 over the first year of 

operation (based on prevailing rates). Water saving strategies employed at RSC, including 

ultra low flow faucets, waterlessurinals and composting toilets, also delivered a 95% cost 

savings on potable water consumption. 

Year 2 (2008-2009) results mirror those found in Year 1 (63% reduction or 282,303 ekWh 

compared to MNBC reference building) and corroborate that RSC is continuing to function 

within its energy and water conservation and use design parameters. Although total energy 

consumption increased in Year 2 by 6.7% (electricity consumption increased 10.6% while 

natural gas consumption declined 0.3%), the change can be attributed to a few factors 

including: 

� an increase in the number of staff working at RSC, thereby increasing consumption for 

lighting, computers and other regulated loads; 

� 

� 

the addition of a DriSteem humidification system that operated during the 2008/09 winter 

period for the first time to address indoor air quality and user comfort as well as structural 

issues associated with seasonal changes in humidity, and; 

substantially colder temperatures experienced in January 2009. This observation is borne 

out by a 7.9% increase in Heating Degree Days (HDD) in Year 2 versus Year 1. 

Cost savings from energy and water were lower in Year 2 due to slightly higher consumption, 

however, natural gas prices declined during the same period thereby reducing total costs. 

Total energy cost savings in Year 2 were $21,192 which translates to a reduction of $1,066 

(4.8%) in savings compared to Year 1. The resultant 2 year cost savings of $43,450 represents 

16.1% of the estimated construction capital cost premium incurred to achieve a LEED Platinum 

rating. Projected forward, energy cost savings are expected to offset the capital premium in 

approximately 12.5 years from date of completion. 

RSC continues to draw interest from many sources and staff receive regular requests to 

conduct tours and explain the energy and water saving strategies incorporated. 

While no statistical analysis has been carried out to quantify RSC staff absenteeism rates in 

comparison to the TRCA corporate average or those of other TRCA facilities, there is general 

consensus amongst staff working at the RSC that they: 

� feel that RSC HVAC systems provide a more comfortable environment than in their previous 

work location; 

� appreciate the abundance of natural light and ability to regulate fresh air/temperature; 

� believe the open concept office environment is positive and more conducive to a 

collaborative process; 

� are proud of the facility and TRCA's sustainable building initiative as evidenced by the 

feedback of positive comments and reactions from internal and external visitors.

56

Proposal: 


Mimico Creek Watershed in order to facilitate an addition to an existing fire station. The existing 

fire station is located in an established area of Mississauga and at the time of construction was 

located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. However, TRCA has recently updated the 

flood data for the Mimico Creek Watershed and the site is now partially located within the 

Regional Storm Floodplain and depths at the Goreway Drive access location are in excess of 1 

metre. Although TRCA staff would not be in a position to support intensification of the existing 

emergency service on the subject site should the use be inundated by flood waters during a 

Regional Storm event, TRCA staff are of the opinion that the proposed addition is a minor 

addition. The proposed addition to the fire station is to accommodate a “satellite station” where 

paramedics may complete reports, take breaks or use washroom facilities. The satellite station 

is ancillary to the existing fire station and ambulances will not be dispatched, cleaned or 

equipped at this location. The proposed addition will be located outside of the floodplain and all 

existing grades will be maintained. The area to which this application applies is currently 

asphalt parking lot. As such, no significant vegetation will be removed, 


The proposed addition will be located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain and all existing 

grades are to remain the same. As such, no impacts to the storage and/or conveyance of 

floodwaters is anticipated.

RATIONALE 


Proposal: 

The applicant seeks permission in order to relocate an existing garden shed and undertake rear 

yard grading to lengthen a small terraced slope. The subject property is located in the 

Cherrywood West rural settlement in rural Pickering. The Petticoat Creek and associated 

valleylands traverse the southwest corner of the lot. The location of the Petticoat Creek on the 

lands has resulted in a large portion of the manicured rear yard falling within the TRCA 

Regulated Area. The existing shed is to be moved approximately 15 metres to the west. In 

addition, the existing terraced slope is to be extended by 15 metres to the west. These works 

are proposed on the existing manicured lawn outside of the creek and valleyland area. 


The proposed works are outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with the 

Petticoat Creek. 

Pollution: 

All exposed soil as a result of the changes to the existing terraced slope are to be immediately 

stabilized with sod or seed in order to prevent sediment reaching the creek. 



Erosion: 

There are no geotechnical or slope stability concerns associated with this proposal. 


The proposed works are to take place on an existing manicured lawn outside of the valleyland 

area. No vegetation will be removed as part of the proposal.

63

Proposal: 

The applicant is proposing the replacement of the existing auto-body repair shop and 

associated minor grading within a Regulated Area of the Duffins Creek Watershed. The site is 

located south of Kingston Road on the west side of Notion Road, in the City of Pickering. 


The site is located wholly within the 'Pickering Town Centre' Special Policy Area. The proposed 

structure is flood-proofed to the 350-year storm elevation and will not introduce an increased 

level of flood risk. A hydraulic analysis was conducted for the site plan review and confirmed 

that the new structure will be able to withstand the depths and velocities of the Regional Storm. 

Pollution: 

Sediment and erosion control measures are not required because the construction activities are 

located within a highly developed area, well away from any watercourse (over 350 metres). 

However, the applicant has chosen to enclose the work area with sediment control fencing, so 

any potential impacts have been sufficiently mitigated. 



Erosion: 

The proposed structure will not negatively affect slope stability or create additional erosion 

hazards. 


The proposed construction is not located close to any natural heritage features, and does not 

require the removal of any vegetation. 

Plantings 

Ornamental plantings have been proposed in the front of the property and along the 

rear, but do not form part of this permit. 


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 TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Proposal: 

The purpose of this application is to develop within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River 

watershed in order to facilitate the construction of a new irregular-shaped industrial building 

comprised of office and warehouse uses at 15 Grand Marshall Drive. The proposed building 

footprint is to be 1,570 square metres and slab on grade. The total proposed gross floor area is 

2,015 square metres. The existing condition of the site is vacant. A realigned creek with a 

westerly flow is located along the southern property boundary. The grade at the rear of the 

property will be raised to accommodate a parking area. The proposed re-grading will involve 

the construction of a 1.8 metre retaining wall. The subject site is located east of Morningside 

Avenue and south of Sheppard Avenue East in the City of Toronto (Scarborough Community 

Council Area). 


The subject property is partially located within a regulatory flood plain of the Rouge River 

watershed. The proposed regrading at the rear of the property will effectively remove the site 

from the regulatory flood plain. TRCA staff have determined the proposed works will not 

adversely impact the storage and/or conveyance of floodwaters. The review of the Stormwater 

Management Report has been deferred to City of Toronto staff.

RATIONALE 


Proposal: 

The purpose is to remove two underground storage tanks and backfill the resulting void within 

a Regulated Area of the Don River Watershed.The proposed works are located within an 

already disturbed, flat asphalt parking area at the rear of an industrial lot. A tributary of the West 

Don River traverses the rear of the property and the majority of the subject property is located 

within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. The project will not result in any changes to the existing 

grades and the area will remain flat. TRCA staff are satisfied that there will be no impacts on the 

storage or conveyance of flood waters. The watercourse is in a degraded state and no 

significant natural features will be affected by the proposed works. 


As grades will remain unchanged, there will be no impacts on the storage or conveyance of 

flood waters. 

Pollution: 

There are no pollution issues associated with this application as the area of disturbance is 

within an already disturbed, flat area and is sufficiently setback from the watercourse. 

87



Erosion: 

There are no geotechnical issues associated with this project. 


As a watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. There 

are no other significant natural features on or adjacent to the site that may be negatively 

impacted by the project. 

Plantings 

The area of disturbance is currently devoid of any vegetation and will be restored to the 

existing asphalt condition. No natural features will be affected by the works. 


The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary 

Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

Letter of Undertaking (to provide revisions to the engineering and landscape 

drawings); dated October 23, 2009; received October 23, 2009; prepared by the 

Regional Municipality of York. 

RATIONALE 


Proposal: 

The entire proposal consists of the widening of 2.7 kilometres of Langstaff Road from Highway 

50 in the west to Highway 27 in the east from two to four lanes. A combination of rural (road 

side ditches) and urban (curb and gutter) cross sections will be constructed, with the majority 

being urban cross sections surrounding the two watercourses and associated culverts at 

Rainbow Creek (CFN 42745) and Tributary 4 (CFN 37724). 

This file 42745 focuses on the regulated area between Huntington Drive and Highway 27 in the 

east end of the project limits and the 4.5 metre extensions on both the north and the south ends 

of the existing 2550 milimetre diameter x 17.30 metre Structural Plate Corrugated Steel Pipe 

(SPCSP) at Rainbow Creek. The proposed length of the culvert will be 26.30 metres within the 

36 metre right of way. 

Originally the Regional Municipality of York (RMOY) submitted plans which were approved in 

2009 under CFN 37501 to build a bridge at Rainbow Creek with the understanding that 

Langstaff Road would be constructed "under" the new Highway 427. In the spring of 2009 the 

Ministry of Transportation (MTO) announced that Langstaff Road would need to be constructed 

"over" Highway 427. Hence, this new file concerning the extensions to the existing culvert 

structure at Rainbow Creek is an "interim" approach only to avoid any future throwaway costs. 

The current MTO plan is that the culvert and extensions will be removed and replaced with an 

MTO bridge when the Highway 427 project is constructed within the next 10 years. 

89

The entire site is located within a Regulated Area as well as a Regional Storm Floodplain 

associated with the Rainbow Creek. The works associated with this project have been 

reviewed under the Environmental Assessment Act in Central File Number 33232, Ontario 

Regulation 166 and under the Federal Fisheries Act for best management practices. 


Staff has reviewed the hydraulics for the proposed temporary culvert extensions and has 

determined that there will not be any negative impacts to flooding. 

Pollution: 

Standard erosion control measures (silt fences, pea gravel cofferdam and pump ) will be 

implemented to ensure that the construction-generated sediments do not enter the 

watercourse. 



Erosion: 



There will be temporary in stream works associated with this project. A coffer dam method will 

be utilized to isolate the watercourse from construction of the culvert extensions. With erosion 

and sedimentation plans in effect and the works being conducted within the coldwater timing 

window from July 1 to September 15, the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or 

destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated. A Letter of Advice will be written by TRCA 

staff on behalf of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) after the permit has been issued. 

The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has provided a clearance email to the proponent and 

advised that there is no need for a permit from MNR under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) 

since redside dace occupy reaches much further downstream near Highway 7. Transport 

Canada has provided a letter to the proponent to indicate that the waters are not navigable and 

no further approvals are needed under the Navigable Waters Protection Act. 

Plantings 

All disturbed areas will be restored with native/non-invasive species following 

construction.

RATIONALE 


Proposal: 

The purpose is to construct an inground pool, cabana and patio area as well as recognize a 

shed which has already been constructed within a Regulated Area of the Humber River 

watershed. The subject property is adjacent to a stream corridor with associated flood plain 

and meander belt area. 

Based upon a site visit conducted by TRCA staff September 23, 2009, the existing top-of-bank 

of a mild 4H:1V slope is located approximately 2 metres from the rear lot line near the already 

constructed shed and gradually encroaches onto the subject property by approximately 1 

metre midway along the rear lot boundary. 

91

The proposed in-ground pool, cabana and patio area are setback from the rear property 

boundary by approximately 2.5 metres (a minimum of approximately 1.5 metres from the 

existing top-of-bank of a mild slope). The proposed works are located within an already 

disturbed, sodded area devoid of significant vegetation. The area between the proposed works 

and the rear lot line will be planted with native, non-invasive species plants. Staff are satisfied 

that the proposed works and existing shed are sufficiently setback and will not have an impact 

on the slope or any other natural feature. 

Fee: 

As the shed was constructed prior to the issuance of a Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit, an 

additional administrative fee was applied to this permit application. 


The proposed works and already constructed shed are not located within the Regional Storm 

Flood Plain. There are no impacts on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters. 

Pollution: 

Sediment control fencing will be erected for the duration of construction to prevent the transport 

of sediment into the adjacent valley feature. 



Erosion: 

TRCA Geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed works are sufficiently setback from the 

top-of-bank and will not cause erosion or instability of the slope feature. 


As a watercourse is not impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. There are 

no other significant natural features on or adjacent to the site that may be negatively impacted 

by the project. 

Plantings 

The area between the proposed works and the property boundary will be restored with 

native, non-invasive plantings to provide an enhanced buffer between the valley and the 

residential uses. 


The proposal is consistent with Section 4.2.2 E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary

RATIONALE 


Proposal: 

The purpose is to construct a replacement garage within a Regulated Area of the Humber River 

Watershed. The existing garage is located approximately 1 metre from the existing top of bank 

of a steep 1.4H : 1V, well-vegetated slope which forms a part of the East Humber River valley 

wall. Based upon a Geotechnical Report prepared by Soil Engineers Ltd., dated October 28, 

2009, the long-term-stable-top-of-slope is located approximately at the edge of the existing 

garage. 

The replacement garage is slightly smaller than the existing garage and is to be located 1.5 

metres further inland than the existing garage; thus creating a 1.5 metre buffer between the 

stable-top-of-slope and the new structure. Due to site constraints a larger buffer cannot be 

achieved, however, TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed setback is 

sufficient. The proposed buffer to the stable top of bank and the area between the existing 

garage footprint and the existing top of bank will be densely re-vegetated with native, 

non-invasive shrubs in order to enhance the stability of the slope and provide an ecological 

buffer between the residential use and the valley system. 

113


The proposed works are not located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain, there will be no 

impacts on the storage or conveyance of flood waters. 

Pollution: 

Sediment control fencing will be erected and maintained for the duration of construction to 

prevent the migration of sediment into the adjacent valley system. 



Erosion: 

TRCA geotechnical staff are satisfied that the proposed works are sufficiently setback from the 

stable top of bank. 


As a watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result. There

the construction of both a deck and cabana structure and also to restore an area of 

unauthorized filling with a TRCA Regulated Area of the Humber River Watershed at the rear of 

an existing residential dwelling at 30 Pecan Drive, in the City of Brampton. The construction of 

the ancillary deck and cabana structures commenced without a TRCA permit. In addition, 

unauthorized fill was placed adjacent to the top of bank associated with the adjacent valley 

corridor. As part of this application, the illegally placed fill is to be removed and the grades 

restored to match the grades approved for the associated draft plan of subdivision. A portion of 

the concrete base for the cabana structure is to be removed in order to provide an adequate 

buffer from the existing top of bank. As such, no geotechnical concerns are anticipated as a 

result of the proposed works. In addition, the subject property is located outside of the 

Regional Storm Floodplain. A planting plan has been submitted for the rear of the subject 

property in order to prevent any potential erosion adjacent to the top of bank and also to 

provide a net ecological gain with this application. As such, there are no flooding or ecology 

related concerns with this application. 

115

Fee and Permit Timing: 

As the works were initiated prior to the issuance of a permit under Ontario Regulation 166/06, 

an additional administrative fee has been charged on this application. In addition, the 

timeframe for this permit has been adjusted to reflect that the works are to be completed in the 

near future. 


The works are located outside of the Regional Storm Floodplain. As such, no impacts to the 

storage and/or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated. 

Pollution: 

Appropriate erosion and sediment controls (i.e., silt fence) have been proposed with this 

application, and will be maintained throughout all phases of construction.

existing parking lot will be expanded to accommodate the new parking requirements. The 

subject property is located on Morning Star Drive, east of Goreway Drive, west of Highway 427 

and north of Derry Road, in the City of Mississauga. Elmcreek Park is located immediately west 

if the subject lands. The park lands are traversed by a tributary of the Mimico Creek 

Watershed. 

131

Through the Federal Economic Action Plan, this project is partially funded by the Infrastructure 

Stimulus Fund (ISF) that provides funding for to municipal construction-ready infrastructure 

rehabilitation projects. 

The proposed parking lot expansion is proposed to occur within the Regional Storm 

Floodplain. There are portions of the existing use located within the Regional Storm Floodplain. 

As a result, TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) policy allows 

for the redevelopment of existing resource-based uses and the construction of ancillary 

structures in the floodplain. The proposed parking lot facility will be located outside of the 

hydraulic floodway, and meets the Authority's flood depth and velocity criteria for municipal 

parking. The proposed community centre addition is located completely outside of the 

Regional Storm Floodplain. 

Please be advised that the proposed parking lot expansion is proposed to be constructed 

within lands currently zoned "Greenbelt" by the City of Mississauga Zoning By-law. Although 

the proposed parking facility is not a permitted use in the "Greenbelt" zone, the City of 

Mississauga has identified the proposed development is the preferred design and that other 

options are not viable technically and/or financially. As well, it has been identified that the 

additional parking spaces are necessary given the current shortage of parking on-site. 

An extensive enhancement planting plan is proposed for the valley lands associated with this 

site and the adjacent Elmcreek Park. The plan must identify that a significant ecological gain 

has been achieved through the restoration and enhancement of these areas. The planting 

plans will be finalized, reviewed and approved by TRCA staff prior to the issuance of this permit. 


There will be minor regrading within the floodplain to facilitate the construction of the parking 

facility. Based on a hydraulic report provided by the applicant, it appears that the minimal 

regrading will not affect the storage and/or conveyance of floodwaters.

subject property is located on the east side of Broadview Avenue, north of Eastern Avenue 

within the Lower Don Special Policy Area (SPA). The site is located entirely within the SPA and 

is separated from the watercourse by Don Valley Parkway to the west. 


The subject property is located in a Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Lower Don Special Policy 

Area and is subject to a regional storm flood elevation of 79.67 metres above sea level (masl). 

The site is also located within the Lower Don SPA which recognizes the existing commercial, 

industrial and residential development within the flood plain and allows new 

development/redevelopment in the area, subject to new structures meeting the minimum 

350-year flood-proofing requirements. In light of this, the proposed development will be flood 

proofed to the regional storm flood elevation.

5, 6, Plan 108, (589 King Street East), in the City of Toronto (Toronto and 

East York Community Council Area), Don River Watershed as located on the 

property owned by Toronto Community Housing Corporation. 

138

The purpose is to excavate and construct a 128-unit, eight-storey affordable housing residential 

rental building with underground parking. 



RATIONALE 


Proposal: 

The proposal is to excavate and construct a 128-unit, eight-storey, affordable residential rental 

building with underground parking on formerly developed lands located south of King Street 

East, east of St. Lawrence Street, west of River Street and west of the Don River in the City of 

Toronto. The land is currently owned by the Ontario Realty Corporation and will shortly be 

transferred to Toronto Community Housing Association. The redevelopment of this site is the 

first to go forward within the West Don Lands neighbourhood. The West Don Lands is currently 

subject to flooding in a regional storm event and has been the subject of extensive planning 

efforts by the Province of Ontario, Waterfront Toronto, the City of Toronto and TRCA, including 

the Class Environmental Assessment for the Lower Don River West Remedial Flood Protection 

Program which was approved by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment on September 28, 

2005. The preferred flood remediation alternative approved in the EA includes a flood 

protection landform currently under construction on the west side of the Don River, and the 

widening of the railway bridge located near the mouth of the river, completed in 2007. The 

flood remediation works will result in the removal of the West Don Lands and the eastern 

portion of downtown Toronto from the floodplain. 

Recognizing the need to expedite development of the waterfront lands prior to the full 

completion of the flood remediation works, the TRCA Executive Committee adopted Resolution 

B139/05 on December 2, 2005, which states in part: 

139

...THAT flood protection measures as approved in the Class Environmental Assessment 

for the Lower Don River West Remedial Flood Protection Program be completed prior to 

occupancy of any new structures permitted within the West Don Lands; 

THAT staff be directed to develop with the City of Toronto staff the most effective 

mechanism for controlling said occupancy and limiting TRCA and City of Toronto liability; 

AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to report back to the Executive Committee on the 

status of controlling said occupancy during the review of any Ontario Regulation 158 

permit applications for developments within the West Don Lands. 

Since this resolution was adopted, TRCA staff has worked with the Province, Waterfront Toronto 

and the City of Toronto to ensure that the appropriate agreements are in place to ensure 

occupancy of new buildings will not occur until the flood remediation works are complete, and 

that TRCA's liability is limited during the construction period prior to the flood remediation 

works being complete. These agreements include the following: 

1. 

2. 

3. 

4. 

5. 

A restrictive covenant that ensures that: (a) no buildings or structures on the lands shall be 

occupied for human occupancy until the structural and functional completion of the Flood 

Protection Landform (FPL); and (b) prior to the structural and functional completion of the 

FPL, the TRCA may only issue a permit with conditions limiting construction completion and 

restricting human occupancy until the structural and functional completion of the FPL. 

A temporary easement in favour of TRCA in respect of the lands to inspect, repair, service, 

and maintain the FPL and to ensure the effectiveness of the FPL for flood control. 

A permanent conservation easement effective upon the Province giving up ownership of 

the lands that are subject to the easement and that are to be developed to ensure that any 

development of the lands is first approved by TRCA and does not interfere in any way with 

the effectiveness of , or penetrates, the FPL with rights of TRCA to enter, inspect, and 

repair the FPL and charge the cost of repairs to the party breaching the terms of the 

easement. 

An indemnity from the Province indemnifying TRCA from any claims made by third parties 

against TRCA (including TRCA's own negligence) prior to completion of the FPL, limited in 

amount to $2,000,000. 

A warranty whereby the Province is obliged to repair any defect in the FPL construction 

occurring within 5 years of the completion of the FPL. 

A subdivision agreement will be executed which, in addition to the above, requires that the 

"wet" side of the FPL be conveyed to the TRCA. 

Conditional Permit: 

In light of the above, the issuance of this permit is conditional upon: 1) the above referenced 

agreements being executed by all parties (at the time of writing, the language of the 

agreements has been reviewed by the parties' legal counsels but not all of the agreements had 

been executed); 2) the issuance of this permit does not permit occupancy of the building until 

TRCA has confirmed the structural and functional completion of the FPL; and 3) the lands being 

transferred to the ownership of Toronto Community Housing Corporation.

The subject property is currently located in the regional storm floodplain, with minimal flood 

depths, and will be removed from the floodplain upon completion of the flood remediation 

works, expected to be complete in 2010/2011. The proposal will have no impact on the storage 

or conveyance of flood waters. 

Pollution: 

The site is situated in an urban context and is well removed from the Don River. As such, 

standard municipal erosion and sediment controls are satisfactory.

The purpose is to conduct site grading on the subject lands, in order to develop a 7-storey 

residential condominium building with 88 units. 



RATIONALE 


Proposal: 

The proposal is to conduct site grading works, in order to facilitate the development of a 

7-storey condominium building, with 88 residential units. The subject site is located on the 

south side of Woodbridge Avenue, near Clarence Street (west of Islington Avenue). The site is 

approximately 0.31 ha (0.76 ac) in size and is located entirely within the Regional Storm Flood 

Plain associated with the Humber River and within the Regulated Area of Ontario Regulation 

166/06. The property is also located within the Woodbridge Special Policy Area (SPA). This 

area of downtown Woodbridge has been designated as an SPA by the Province of Ontario, 

which allows for some development and redevelopment to occur within floodprone areas, 

subject to satisfying a number of technical requirements. This includes floodproofing 

requirements and the provision of safe access to and from the site. 

142

The subject parcel is currently designated 'High Density Residential' by OPA #440. In 

accordance with the policies of OPA #440, a maximum residential density of 99 units per net 

hectare is permitted within this designation. The proposal entails the development of 88 units, 

which represents an increase of 58 units from what is currently permitted on the property. Given 

the level of intensification, approvals from both the Ministers of Municipal Affairs and Housing 

(MMAH) and Minister of Natural Resources (MNR) were required. This approval was provided 

on July 27, 2009 to the Regional Municipality of York; the approval authority for the proposed 

Official Plan Amendment (OPA #691). TRCA's support for approval of OPA #691 and the 

associated Zoning Amendment Application was provided on July 7, 2009. This followed a 

recommendation report at the June 12, 2009 Executive Committee which provided TRCA's 

concurrence with the technical elements of the proposed planning applications (Resolution 

#B069/09). This report identified that a future O.Reg. 166/06 permit application would be 

brought forward for the development of the site, subsequent to final sign-off being provided by 

the Province, and any outstanding design details being integrated into the site plan application, 

to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. 

Subsequent to the approval of OPA #691, the City of Vaughan initiated a comprehensive 

review of the SPA policies for the Woodbridge Core Area. The terms of reference for this study 

have been completed, while TRCA staff are at this time, providing technical assistance. While 

this study is underway, further applications for redevelopment/intensification in the Woodbridge 

SPA will not be considered by the City of Vaughan. 

TRCA staff are satisfied, based upon the extensive review process that has been completed, 

and the materials submitted to date, that the proposed building meets TRCA's floodproofing 

requirements for development within a Special Policy Area. Given that similar confirmation has 

been provided from the City of Vaughan, the Province and the Region of York, TRCA staff are 

now in position to recommend final approval of the proposed building, which is the subject of 

this permit. 


TRCA Water Management Engineering staff has reviewed technical plans for the subject 

proposal including grading plans and are satisfied that the works will not exacerbate or 

negatively impact the storage or conveyance of flood waters beyond levels which have been 

anticipated for Special Policy Areas. Additionally, staff have reviewed the supporting technical 

analysis, and are satisfied that the building will be constructed to meet TRCA's floodproofing 

criteria. 

Pollution: 

Erosion and sediment control measures including silt fencing will be implemented prior to the 

initiation of construction, to ensure sediment is not transported to the adjacent Humber River 

and its associated valley corridor. 



143

Erosion: 

Erosion will minimized through the implementation of the aforementioned erosion and sediment 

control measures. 


The proposed development is located more than 10 metres away from the top of bank 

associated with the Humber River. There are no geotechnical/slope stability issues relating to 

the proposal. Furthermore, there are no fisheries issues associated with these works nor will 

significant vegetation be removed. 

Plantings 

A landscape plan has been submitted for landscape elements around the proposed 

building. TRCA staff are satisfied with this plan. 


This proposal complies with Section 4.2.1 - Development and Redevelopment/Intensification 

within Established Communities/Highly Urbanized Communities - of the TRCA's Valley and 

Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP).

The purpose of this application is to allow development within a Regulated Area of the Humber 

River Watershed in order to facilitate the installation of a cricket field on TRCA-owned lands 

(Thackeray Park) at Kipling Avenue and Steeles Avenue West in the City of Vaughan. 

These works will occur on a former landfill site that is owned by the TRCA, but managed by the 

City of Toronto. The area for the proposed cricket field has been disturbed through previous 

site activities associated with the former landfill operation. There is a small wetland and 

vegetated slope immediately north of the development site, which will remain undisturbed. 

Only the northeastern portion of the proposed development is located within the TRCA's 

Regulated Area. These works will include the installation of all or a portion of the cricket field, 

chainlink fencing, stone retaining wall, parking area, plantings, sub-drainage system and outlet. 


The proposed works will not be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain of the Humber 

River. There will be no impact on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters.

In addition, the implementation of the aforementioned sediment and erosion control measures 

will minimize erosion on the site. The proposed sediment and erosion control measures, 

restoration plantings and rip rap at the sub-drainage system outlet will also alleviate the existing 

erosion occurring at the northern end of the site. 


As the watercourse will not be impacted by the proposal, no fisheries concerns will result.

RATIONALE 


Proposal: 

The applicant seeks permission to undertake site grading and alteration of a watercourse in 

order to establish the rough grades for the site and to construct associated sediment and 

erosion controls. The works are located within the second phase of a large residential 

development known as Angus Glen West Village (File No. 19TM-030004), which is located on 

the west side of the Bruce Creek northwest of the intersection of Major MacKenzie Drive and 

Kennedy Road in the Town of Markham. The works are to take place on table lands adjacent to 

the Bruce Creek valleylands and within the footprint of the former Stollery Pond, which, through 

prior permit approvals from TRCA, is currently being restored into a naturalized valley corridor. 

156

The Angus Glen West Village plan of subdivision was draft approved with conditions by the 

Town of Markham in 2006. The works proposed at this time will facilitate the start of 

construction for the second phase of this development. As the site is partially within the 

Regulated Area adjacent to the Bruce Creek valleylands, the applicant is required to obtain 

permission from TRCA prior to any grading taking place. In addition, two temporary sediment 

control basins are proposed that will outlet to the Bruce's Creek valleylands at the location of 

the former Stollery Pond. 


The two proposed sediment control ponds within the former Stollery Pond footprint are located 

within the Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with the adjacent Bruce Creek tributary. The 

Regional Storm Flood Plain is contained within the valleylands, as established by the draft plan 

of subdivision, to the satisfaction of TRCA staff. The proposed works will ensure that flood 

flows are conveyed appropriately through the site. 

Pollution: 

Extensive sediment and erosion controls are to be implemented prior to the commencement of 

site grading and are to be maintained during the construction phase of development. 



Erosion: 

There are no slope stability or erosion concerns with this proposal. 


Areas to be graded are to be buffered from significant environmental areas by sediment and 

erosion control fencing as shown on drawings submitted with the permit application. Disturbed 

areas are to be stabilized following grading. Some vegetation is to be removed as part of the 

construction process. Tree removals and replacements have been identified on plans 

submitted as part of the application to the satisfaction of TRCA staff.

RATIONALE 


Proposal: 


Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the grading and servicing of a draft approved plan 

of subdivision (City File No. D03-95121/19T-95121), commonly referred to as the 

Hughey/Tranquility lands. This application is considered to be the second phase of 

development for the related subdivision and involves the construction of the remaining 

residential blocks/lots, site grading and servicing and the stormwater management facility The 

first phase was approved by the TRCA Executive Committee at the October 9, 2009 TRCA 

Executive Committee meeting and a TRCA permit has been issued (Permit No. C-09784). The 

first phase involved the construction of seventeen (17) residential lots on the west side of Coon’ 

s Road, a roadway (referred to as Street E), cul-de-sac, and a vista block. 

162

The subject property is traversed by a tributary of the East Humber River of the Humber River 

Watershed. The proposed development is currently located within the Regional Storm 

Floodplain. Through the draft plan review, a Functional Servicing Report (FSR) was completed 

and reviewed/approved by TRCA staff that identifies the potential for the realignment of the 

floodplain to alleviate the flooding risks associated with this draft plan of subdivision. The 

report identifies that the floodplain is considered to be unusually wide and shallow in this 

specific location due to a subtle ridge, which creates a backwater effect on the subject lands. 

As a result of this ridge, the floodplain characteristics on the subject property have been 

identified by TRCA staff as being distinctly different from those of upstream and downstream 

areas. In this regard, TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) 

includes provisions to permit the alteration of stream corridors and floodplains that contain an 

unusually wide and shallow floodplain. As a result, as a condition of draft plan approval, a 

proposed scheme to alter the floodplain through "cut and fill" works that ensures that flood 

storage and conveyance will be maintained was agreed to "in principle". As part of this 

application, a hydraulic report was submitted, which satisfies the above noted condition of draft 

approval. Please be advised that the plan involves raising the subject lands (western section) 

above the level of the Regional Storm Floodplain, which ensures that the development is 

located entirely outside of the floodplain. 

As part of this application, an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) was completed for the subject 

lands. TRCA staff has reviewed and approved the supporting EIS, which concludes that the 

proposed development will not adversely impact this reach of the Humber River Watershed. 

As a component of EIS recommendations and conditions of draft approval for the draft 

approved plan of subdivision, the applicant is required to submit an extensive enhancement 

planting plan for the adjacent valley lands. These plans must identify that a significant net 

environmental gain has been achieved with respect to terrestrial habitat and cover through the 

restoration and enhancement of these areas. These plans will be finalized, reviewed and 

approved by TRCA staff prior to the issuance of this permit. Through the related draft plan of 

subdivision, buffers consistent with TRCA’s guidelines have been incorporated into the plan. 

As such, the proposed development is sufficiently setback from the valley corridor. 


Once grading works are completed, the proposed development will be located entirely outside 

of the Regional Storm Floodplain. In addition, the "cut and fill" works have been designed in 

accordance with TRCA's guidelines/procedures. As such, no adverse impacts to the storage 

and/or conveyance of flood waters are anticipated. 

Pollution: 

Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be constructed/installed and maintained 

throughout all phases of development. Temporary sediment basins/ponds are proposed as 

part of the erosion and sediment control scheme, which conforms to TRCA's Erosion and 

Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban Construction. 



163

Erosion: 

There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns associated with this proposal. 


As a component of the EIS, a Tree Inventory and Preservation Report was submitted and 

reviewed by TRCA staff. Based on our review, it appears that no significant vegetation will be 

removed as a result of construction. The enhancement planting plan is premised on 

augmenting the existing forest and valley vegetation, particularly in areas where the natural 

vegetation is less dense. In addition, restoration efforts will also be directed in the valley in the 

eastern portion of the site to provide further riparian vegetation along the edges of the East 

Humber River. There are no fisheries related concerns associated with this project. 

Plantings 

All proposed plantings will be native and non-invasive, consistent with TRCA's 

planting/restoration guidelines. 


This proposal is consistent with Section 4.1.1 - New Urban Development and Section 3.2.2 - 

Policies and Procedures for Establishing Corridor Boundaries and Alterations (Stream 

Corridors) - of the Authority's VSCMP.

Town of Richmond Hill, Humber River Watershed. 


Watershed in order to facilitate the installation of a french drain system to alleviate overland 

drainage onto the adjacent property. 

164



RATIONALE 


Proposal: 


Humber River Watershed in order to facilitate the installation of a french drain system to 

alleviate overland drainage onto the adjacent property. The subject lands are located within an 

established subdivision adjacent to Lake Wilcox in the Town of Richmond Hill. The subject 

property is located at a higher elevation than the neighbouring property to the east and a 

wooden retaining wall along the common property line separates the two sites. Currently, the 

roof leaders on the subject site are connected to pipes which drain onto the neighbouring 

property through the retaining wall. The purpose of this application is to detach the roof leaders 

from the pipes and construct a french drain system which will allow some of the overland flow 

to flow directly into Lake Wilcox. TRCA geotechnical staff has reviewed this application and are 

satisfied that the proposed works will not negatively effect the existing retaining structure. The 

northern portion of the site is located within the Regional Storm Floodplain, however, the 

existing grades will not be altered. As such, no adverse impacts to the flow and/or conveyance 

of flood waters are anticipated. In addition, TRCA staff has reviewed the proposed outlet to 

Lake Wilcox and are satisfied that the outfall has been designed in accordance with TRCA's 

guidelines such that flows have been designed to dissipate via sheet flow to prevent erosion. 

165


All existing grades are to remain unchanged. As such, TRCA staff are satisfied that the flow 

and/or conveyance of flood waters will not be impacted. 

Pollution: 

The applicant will install erosion and sediment controls consistent with TRCA guidelines to be 

maintained throughout all phases of construction. 



Erosion: 

TRCA staff has reviewed this proposal and are satisfied that the existing retaining structure will 

not be negatively impacted. 



Plantings 

Although no significant vegetation will be removed to facilitate this proposal, the 

applicant has committed to providing plantings along the Lake Wilcox shoreline on the 

subject lands. All plant species will be native and non-invasive consistent with our 

planting guidelines.

The purpose is to replace the existing watermain on Richmond Street between Leisure Lane 

and Trench Street. The proposed work involves the installation of a new 150mm PVC 

watermain with associated service connections. 



RATIONALE 


Proposal: 

The proposal is to replace a watermain on Richmond Street from Leisure Street to Trench 

Street in the Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York. 

A section of watermain within the 

Regulated Area will be replaced. The watermain under the concrete box culvert at the East Don 

River will remain intact and the new watermain will connect to the 

existing sections on the east and 

west side. 


The proposed project will have no impacts on the storage or conveyance of floodwaters. 

Pollution: 

Standard erosion and sediment control measures (sediment fencing) will be implemented prior 

to construction and maintained for the duration of construction, and until the site is stabilized 

and restored, in order to prevent construction generated sediments from entering any 

watercourse or wetland. Erosion and sediment control measures have been provided in 

accordance with the TRCA Erosion and Sediment Control Guideline for Urban Construction. 

167



Erosion: 



With erosion and sediment control measures in place, the potential for Harmful, Alteration, 

Disruption or Destruction (HADD) of fish habitat will be mitigated. A Letter of Advice will be 

prepared by TRCA staff on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for this project.

Item EX10.95 

RE: BRAMALEA TRANSIT TERMINAL 

150 Central Park Drive 

______________________________________________________________________________ 

KEY ISSUE 

Request for direction to staff on a permit application. 


STAFF is requesting direction from the Executive Committee with respect to issuing a 

permit. 

BACKGROUND 

At its September 9, 2009 meeting, Brampton City Council adopted a resolution to circulate the 

City of Brampton’s Draft Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment (OPA) for external agency and 

stakeholder review. Within this update, Brampton relocated the Bramalea City Centre Major 

Transit node from the south end of the Bramalea City Centre to a City-owned parcel on the east 

side of Bramalea City Centre. Based upon Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's 

(TRCA) draft floodline update for Etobicoke Creek, this property is located within the Regional 

Storm Floodplain. City of Brampton staff have identified the need for this new terminal in this 

location, as well as the significant time constraints around attaining approvals to initiate 

construction. Due to the significant time constraints, City of Brampton staff are requesting that 

this proposal be considered for approval by the Executive Committee at meeting #10/09, 

scheduled to be held on December 11, 2009. As this site is in the Regulatory Floodplain, the 

proposal is not consistent with TRCA policies, however, staff are cognizant of the public interest 

that is served through the Brampton Bus Rapid Transit project (Zum), which is not considered 

under TRCA’s policies. TRCA staff are requesting direction from the Executive Committee with 

respect to the approval of this proposal. 

The Zum is identified by the City as a key aspect of the future transit network. The Queen Street 

Zum corridor is the first of three corridors which comprise Phase 1 of the Brampton Bus Rapid 

Transit project. The Queen Street corridor requires a transit terminal in the vicinity of the 

Bramalea City Centre due to the ridership generated by the centre and connection to existing 

transit. However, it was determined by Brampton that the existing transit terminal cannot meet 

the projected increased ridership needs, and as such a review of alternatives was undertaken. 

The subject site, currently owned by the City of Brampton and used as a parking lot, was 

considered to be the best available option in the area. The subject lands are located in the City 

of Brampton at 150 Central Park Drive, southwest of the intersection of Bramalea Road and 

Queen Street East. The proposal consists of a 1-storey bus terminal which contains waiting 

areas, washrooms, security offices, driver break facilities and outdoor bus passenger pick up 

areas.

Due to contractual funding arrangements with the provincial and federal governments, service 

milestones must be met. The first milestone, which includes the Bramalea City Centre Terminal, 

is scheduled for operation in September 2010. Due to the strict timing constraints associated 

with the service delivery of this project, the City of Brampton is aiming to commence 

construction December 2009. 

Flood Plain Management 

TRCA staff initiated a floodline mapping update (hydraulic study) of the Etobicoke Creek 

watershed in 2006. However, due to delays in the update of the Etobicoke Creek hydrology 

(flows), updated floodline information for this area was not available until November 2009, after 

the initial review of this application had began. The previous floodlines indicate that the flood 

fringe associated with the Regional Storm Floodplain minimally encroached onto the subject 

lands, which could have likely been managed through the design of the proposed structures. 

Due to a significant increase in flows, the Regional Storm Flood elevations have increased 

through this area. The hydraulic model currently shows that during a Regional storm event, 

water will spill over Queen Street to the west of the Etobicoke Creek, and will also overtop the 

banks of the valley in the vicinity of the subject site. Flood depths of 0.8 metres are expected to 

occur across the subject site. This is only one of a number of areas where TRCA's 

comprehensive update of the floodlines in the Etobicoke Creek watershed has identified 

significant increases in flooding in an urbanized setting. 

The hydraulics (or behaviour of the water through the floodplain) are quite complex when water 

spills outside of the valley. Under these conditions, the traditional tools used to calculate flood 

elevations are limited and tend to overestimate flood elevations. In these circumstances, the 

practice is to manage the floodplain with the current information, recognizing that the estimates 

are conservative, or to undertake more sophisticated two-dimensional modeling which may be 

able to shed more light on the characteristics of this spill area and depths of flooding. 

However, due to time constraints of this project, the latter approach is not feasible. TRCA Water 

Resources staff has identified that the frequency of flooding is less than the 1:350-year storm, 

or the 25% possibility of flooding in a 100 year period, as this storm is contained within the 

valley corridor of the East Branch of the Etobicoke Creek. 

TRCA staff undertook preliminary investigations to identify potential options for flood remedial 

works within the reach to reduce the risk of flooding. Options included, but were not limited to: 

modifying the existing bridges and/or culverts throughout the reach to increase the conveyance 

capacity of the channel; or the use of the upstream Chinguacousy Park on-line ponds for 

storage (retention) during the Regional storm event. Unfortunately, none of the options 

analyzed resulted in significant reductions to the flood elevations. 

Due to the nature of this project, flood proofing techniques such as filling the site or raising the 

building may not be feasible. However, in order to prevent upstream and downstream hazard 

during a Regional Storm Event, the City of Brampton has committed to managing the flood risk 

in this area and has agreed to carry out its operations so that buses are not stored on site and 

ensuring that the proposed building is structurally sound during a Regional Flood. The City of 

Brampton is also currently undertaking an exercise to determine what additional flood proofing 

can be incorporated into the design of the building. The structures are primarily open air and 

may be able to be wet flood proofed. 

170

CONCLUSIONS 

TRCA and City of Brampton staff will continue working cooperatively to manage flood risk on 

the site to create the best possible solution at this preliminary stage of our flood analysis 

studies. To determine a transitional approach, the City of Brampton will need to work with TRCA 

to review these new spill/flood areas to determine comprehensively if and how development 

should proceed on a site basis. Because this proposal does not conform to TRCA’s policy 

requirements TRCA staff is seeking direction from the Executive Committee with respect to the 

issuance of a permit for this project. Should the committee wish to support the issuance of a 

permit, due to the timelines associated with this project, the committee would need to authorize 

staff at this meeting to issue a permit for these works.
