SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION

RES.#A157/12 - INLAND FILL, CLAIREVILLE WESTERN BUFFERApproval to enter into an agreement for clean inland fill.

Moved by: Dave RyanSeconded by: Glenn De Baeremaeker

THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) enter into an agreement with Condrain Group to accept placement of clean surplus topsoil on TRCA-owned lands at Claireville Conservation Area to create an enhanced reforestation base, subject to archaeological and municipal approvals;

THAT the fee for accepting the topsoil will be $2.60/cubic metre (m³);

THAT, in addition to the tipping fee, Condrain Group will be responsible for all costs of sediment control, placing topsoil, fine grading and seeding the site with a basic cover crop;

THAT the funds received as compensation for receiving the surplus soil be set aside exclusively for project costs, for future reforestation and habitat enhancement of the property and associated TRCA purposes;

AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate TRCA officials be authorized and directed to execute all the necessary documentation required.

CARRIEDBACKGROUND Resolution #A25/12 granted approval for placement of clean topsoil on Toronto and Region Conservation Authority-owned tablelands within the Humber watershed for the purpose of restoring forest cover.

The site is located on the west side of Claireville Conservation Area, adjacent to Deerhurst Drive, south of Regional Roal 7 (Queen Street) in the City of Brampton. The site is approximately eight hectares of open tableland above the West Humber River. The site is dominated by non-native grasses, with some exotic, invasive shrubs and a few scattered tree saplings (<10%). The site is poorly drained clay soil (Peel Series).

A successful reforestation project in conjunction with topsoil placement along the western edge of Claireville Conservation Area, immediately adjacent to the industrial area along Deerhurst Drive, has a variety of potential benefits:

establishing a visual barrier and a buffer between the conservation area and heavy

industry to the west, reducing noise, dust and pollutants entering the park; establishing a significant forest patch which would augment an existing forest stand and

improve forest connectivity.

342

A topsoil placement project would represent an opportunity to address some of the reforestation challenges of this area. The site's heavy clay soils and poor drainage contribute to poor tree survival and growth. This could be amended through the addition of at least 1.5 to 2 m of good quality topsoil with a composition and texture that will remain well or moderately-well drained. Also, addition of this amount of fill would eliminate the existing grass and shrub competition. Vegetation would still need to be managed for successful reforestation. However, competition control would be simplified; exposed soil would provide an opportunity for successful establishment of a desirable cover crop; and competing vegetation would initially consist primarily of annuals and not be well-established, improving management options and the likelihood of their success. Improved soil conditions and decreased competition would increase seedling growth rates, important in successfully establishing tree cover and initiating the transition to a closed canopy forest.

Staff anticipates the site could accommodate between 100,000 and 150,000 cubic metres of topsoil. Final design configuration for fill placement will be subject to the findings of an on-going archaeological assessment and any recommendations to protect important cultural heritage assets. Staff anticipate that the topsoil will be strategically placed in two or three hectare sections over a period of two years. This will allow reforestation of the completed topsoil sections to commence as early as spring 2013.

A significant obstacle in undertaking the work was the limited construction access options available to TRCA. The site is bounded by valleylands to the east and south, forest cover to the north and privately held and occupied industrial lands to the west along Deerhurst Drive. Staff determined the only viable haul route was via private property on Deerhurst Drive. Staff contacted the owner of a vacant property adjacent to TRCA property, but the owner was not willing to enter into an access agreement with TRCA. Staff was, however, successful in negotiating an agreement with Condrain Group to access the western buffer via a vacant Metrus-owned property adjacent to Deerhurst Avenue. As part of the agreement, Condrain Group will supply and place the clean topsoil over a period of two years and will compensate TRCA at an agreed rate of $2.60 per cubic metre. The negotiated compensation is appropriate considering the financial cost associated with a long term lease of the Metrus lands would likely have exceeded the potential increase in tipping fees on the open market. In addition, the current agreement shifts all costs and liability associated with the access route to Condrain.

TRCA will oversee the construction of the landform and the financial compensation will allow for the implementation of a reforestation plan beneficial to Claireville Conservation Area and TRCA. TRCA staff will implement a soils quality control program to ensure and confirm that all soil placed on site meets Ministry of the Environment parkland criteria.

RATIONALETRCA has completed similar projects in other areas with considerable success. Examples of these successful projects include:

the berm on Kortright Centre for Conservation tablelands off Pine Valley Drive;

Boyd North Pit rehabilitation off Rutherford Road;

berming along Intermodal Drive and Highway 407 within Claireville Conservation Area;

berming and wetland complex development at Boyd North (along Islington Avenue north of

Rutherford Road); berms and restoration in Kleinburg at Regional Road 27 and Islington Avenue.

343

Staff sees this regeneration work as a benefit to all involved as the surplus fill, along with the financial compensation, will provide an opportunity to restore forest cover.

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONETRCA will finalize a landform design subject to the findings of an on-going archaeological assessment and any recommendations to protect important cultural heritage assets. TRCA will obtain all municipal and regional approvals and permits associated with the proposed project.

FINANCIAL DETAILSTRCA staff anticipates that fill revenue from this project will offset direct project operating and reforestation costs.

RES.#A158/12 - MARIE CURTIS PARK PROJECT (PHASE 2)Pathway Paving Works. Award of Contract RSD12-137 for the supply of all labour, materials and equipment necessary for asphalt paving works at Marie Curtis Park, City of Toronto.


THAT Contract RSD12-137 for the supply of all labour, materials and equipment necessary for asphalt pathway paving works at Marie Curtus Park in the City of Toronto, be awarded to Mopal Construction Limited for a total cost not to exceed $474,225.00, plus a contingency amount of $94,845.00 to be expended as authorized by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff, plus HST, it being the lowest bid meeting TRCA cost estimates and specifications.

CARRIEDBACKGROUND Since 2010, TRCA's Watershed Management Division and the City of Toronto’s Parks Forestry and Recreation (PF&R) Division have partnered on the revitalization of Marie Curtis Park East and West on the waterfront, which is being carried out in tandem with the City of Mississauga’s and TRCA’s development of a new park on the former Arsenal Lands which is located immediately adjacent to Marie Curtis Park West.

The intent is that Marie Curtis Park West and the Arsenal Lands site be developed as a regional destination park, while Marie Curtis Park East will continue to serve as a local park. The lands comprising Marie Curtis Park are owned by TRCA and will continue to be managed and operated by PF&R in accordance with the existing 1972 Waterfront Agreement between the two agencies.

The revitalization efforts generally consists of creating new park uses such as a Dog Off Leash Area, upgraded facilities, restored and new pathway connections, decommissioning of old lighting and parking areas, and the creation of a new bioswale within an existing parking area to provide improved stormwater controls at the site.

The asphalt paving of the multipurpose trail will improve safety for pedestrian traffic and recreational activities.

RES.#A159/12 - ARSENAL LANDS 1352 LAKESHORE ROAD EAST ROOF REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR PROJECTExtension of Contract RSD12-95 for Applewood Roofing and Sheet Metal Limited. Authorization to increase the approved contract amount for Applewood Roofing and Sheet Metal Limited for the supply of all labour, materials and equipment necessary for the replacement of an existing flat roof system at 1352 Lakeshore Road East, City of Mississauga.


THAT Contract RSD12-95 for the supply of all labour, materials and equipment necessary for the replacement of an existing flat roof system at 1352 Lakeshore Road East, City of Mississauga, which was awarded to Applewood Roofing and Sheet Metal Limited, be extended to include a tender option item to incorporate an insulation and vapour barrier at a cost of $42,100.00 for a revised total of $149,240.00, plus the original contingency sum of $21,450.00, to be expended as authorized by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff, plus HST.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDThe Canadian Arsenal Lands property is located at 1352 Lakeshore Road East. The property has been retained as a local landmark and a reminder of the significance of this site and its contribution to both World War I and World War II. In World War I, Canada's first aerodrome and flying school was established on the Arsenal Lands by the Curtis Aeroplane Company. Between 1917 and 1919, the area was used as a training centre for the Cadet Wing of the Royal Flying Corps. In World War II, Small Arms Limited occupied the Arsenal Lands and operated the Canadian Small Arms School, a rifle range and an ammunition plant. More recently, Hydro One and the Police Cadet Training School occupied this administrative building for numerous years, and the semi-underground rifle range is still used by private gun clubs. Now primarily a park and open space, the Arsenal Lands is associated with both the natural environment and with significant historical developments on these lands. The warehouse/administrative building and water tower are the last visible remnants of the former a munitions plant that occupied this site.

The roof of the building has deteriorated beyond its life expectancy and has been leaking for several years. The water damage has continually added to the further deterioration of the building interior. TRCA staff promptly initiated the tender process to hire a roofing contractor to carry-out the replacement of the roof. At Executive Meeting #3/12, held on August 10, 2012, Resolution #B101/12 was approved as follows:

THAT Contract RSD12-95 for the supply of all labour, materials and equipment necessary for the replacement of an existing flat roof system, be awarded to Applewood Roofing & Sheet Metal Limited for a total cost not to exceed $107,140.00, plus a contingency amount of $21,450.00 to be expended as authorized by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff, plus HST, it being the lowest bid meeting TRCA cost estimates and specifications;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized officials be directed to take the necessary action to implement the contract including the signing and execution of documents.

348

The contractor's work will include the demolition and removal of the existing roof and replacement with similar building materials and colours to match the original building aesthetics.

RATIONALEThe tender documents had included an optional item to provide an insulation component to the roof replacement of the building at a cost of $42,000.00. The reasoning behind the separate price was based on a combination of available funding and the option to perform the insulation component from the interior of the building at a later date. This option was not included in the original scope of work awarded to Applewood Roofing and Sheet Metal Limited. Given that this is a heritage building, and after a closer investigation of the design of the interior ceiling, it was determined that performing the work from the interior of the building would result in a much greater cost to remove the entire original ceiling and to properly reinstate it. Therefore, the option for the insulation tender item being included in the current scope of work makes sense from both an economical and heritage perspective.

The additional tender item included in the Contract for Applewood Roofing and Sheet Metal Limited was evaluated against the other bid submissions and was still the lowest bidder. The following is the comparable results of the three lowest bidders meeting TRCA specifications with the inclusion of the optional item.

RES.#A160/12 - KORTRIGHT PARKING LOT RETROFITPermeable Paving Demonstration Project - Phase 2. Award of contract for the Phase 2 construction retrofit of parking facilities to further demonstrate permeable paving materials and techniques at the Kortright Centre for Conservation, City of Vaughan.


349

THAT the contract for the Kortright Parking Lot Retrofit project be awarded to Hank Deenen Landscape Ltd., at a total cost not to exceed $118,000.00, plus HST, it being the lowest bid meeting Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications;

THAT TRCA staff be authorized to approve additional expenditures to a maximum of ten percent (10%) of the total cost of the contract plus HST as a contingency allowance, if deemed necessary;

AND FURTHER THAT authorized staff be directed to take the action necessary to implement the contract including obtaining any approvals and the signing and execution of documents.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDPermeable pavements are emerging as one of the most promising stormwater best management practices for meeting municipal water balance objectives on parking areas and low traffic roads. The pavements can be applied in a variety of contexts, are supported by extensive research, and are reasonably cost effective relative to other stormwater infiltration practices. While permeable paver products constructed from concrete have been widely available in Ontario for quite some time, such products constructed from recycled tires have just recently been introduced to the market. Using recycled rubber in paving products represents an innovative means of diverting tire waste from landfills and avoiding greenhouse gas and other emissions from incineration. Marketers of such products also claim they are superior in terms of load bearing capacity per unit thickness, ease of installation and winter maintenance requirements.

In order to demonstrate and evaluate this technology, a 1,260 square metre section of the Kortright Centre parking lot is being reconstructed as a component of a larger TRCA demonstration project, funded in part through a grant from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment Showcasing Water Innovation Program, 2012-14. The Kortright Centre Green Parking Retrofit demonstration will include two types of interlocking recycled rubber paver products, the permeable VAST

®

product and the impermeable Eco-flex®®

product which will drain to two bioretention cells of differing design. The pavements and bioretention cells will be monitored continuously over a one year period by TRCA's Sustainable Technologies Evaluation Program to evaluate run-off volume reduction and quality benefits compared to an asphalt section of the parking lot. The purchase of materials and monitoring equipment for the demonstration is currently underway, with construction and subsequent installation scheduled for September 2012.

The supply and donation of the materials needed for this project were previously approved by TRCA's Chief Administrative Officer in June 2012 in accordance with TRCA's Purchasing Policy. This new approval is for the award of the contract to do the site work and installation of the materials in order to complete this demonstration project. TRCA staff had estimated a reasonable value of this contract to be in the range of $100,000-125,000, before taxes and surcharges.

350

RATIONALERequest for Tenders (RSD12-136) were sent to the following five contractors/suppliers, who were selected based on their area of business expertise and past experience on TRCA projects:

R.G. Peel Construction;1. Griffith Property Services;2. Ferdom Construction;3. Hank Deenan Landscaping Ltd.;4. Loc-Pave Construction.5.

Three potential bidders attended the optional site inspection meeting held on August 23, 2012. During that meeting, they were shown the site, had the project design concept explained, and were given a list of the materials secured by TRCA that did not need to be included in the unit costing for the project.

Four sealed tenders were received on or before bid the closing deadline of noon on September 6, 2012. Qualified bids were opened at Tender Opening Committee Meeting #6/12, held on September 7, 2012, in accordance with TRCA's Purchasing Policy. The bid results are as follows:

Company Bid Price(Plus 10% Contingency plus HST)

Hank Deenan Landscape $117,332.00R.G. Peel $191,947.00Ferdom Construction $207,746 .00Griffith Property Services $219,692.00Loc-Pave Construction No Bid

After careful review of the submitted quotations, and after confirming the scope of work with the low bidder, staff recommends that the contract RSD12-136 - Kortright Parking Lot Retrofit project be awarded to Hank Deenen Landscape, it being the lowest bidder meeting TRCA specifications and requirements.

FINANCIAL DETAILSFunding of $100,000 for this project will come from development compensation from a development project in the City of Vaughan, and the remainder is from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment's "Showcasing Water Innovation Grant". Costs will be charged to TRCA's project account 416-77 Kortright Centre Low Impact Development Stormwater Management Demonstration Project.

RES.#A161/12 - MAIN HUMBER RIVER AT DUFFY’S LANE (SOUTH OF PATTERSON SIDEROAD) MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTInitiation of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process for the bank stabilization project at Duffy's Lane, Region of Peel.


THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff be directed to commence a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the preferred erosion control protection works of Duffy’s Lane, south of Patterson Sideroad, Region of Peel, and facilitate construction of the preferred alternative;

THAT as part of the EA process staff is directed to undertake public consultation, as well as assess environmental impacts including public safety, road improvements, stream naturalization and fish habitat;

THAT authorized officials and staff be directed to take all necessary actions to implement the foregoing, including the signing of agreements or other legal documents deemed necessary in order to retain the required engineering consulting services, subject to approval of Town of Caledon;

THAT TRCA involvement be subject to funding being available from the Town;

AND FURTHER THAT the Town of Caledon be so advised.CARRIED

BACKGROUNDThe area of concern is a section of Duffy’s Lane located south of Patterson Sideroad (Attachment 1). The study area extends approximately 72m along the main Humber River parallel to Duffy’s Lane and includes two issues of concern: an eroded river embankment and the stability of the adjacent roadway. A portion of the site is within the Albion Hills Conservation Area property and a portion is on Town of Caledon right-of-way.

Currently this section of road occupies a very narrow shoulder that is less them 1m in width, which has resulted due to the unstable adjacent river embankment that has an approximate height of 2.5 metres from the river bed. Within the past year TRCA staff has monitored this site and has indicated that the portion of the embankment supporting the roadway is eroding. This presents a significant concern for TRCA and the Town of Caledon as it pertains to a emergency access route to Albion Hills Conservation Area. From a watercourse health perspective, this poses a significant concern in terms of erosion, downstream sedimentation and fish habitat quality, as well as public infrastructure and safety.

The Town of Caledon and TRCA have agreed to partner on implementing a project to improve the conditions of the watercourse and roadway by reducing this section to a width that will support a single lane, and through bank stabilization and stream restoration improving overall road stability.

352

RATIONALEThe planning and design phase of this project will be carried out in partnership with the Town of Caledon under a Municipal Class EA. The Class EA approach is considered a suitable means for the planning and design development regarding the improvement of the this section of road and streambank as it provides a streamlined process that ensures compliance with Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) requirements.

This process may require the development of a Community Liaison Committee (CLC) which includes members of the general public such as affected landowners, public interest groups, and any other parties interested in the planning and design phases of the project. Interested individuals are provided with opportunities to offer recommendations on the development of the remedial solutions, and objections to design proposals where appropriate. Meetings with other regulatory agencies will also be held as deemed appropriate.

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONEThe planning and design phases of this project will be carried out under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2011) prepared by the Municipal Engineers Association in Ontario. The Class EA document places projects into four possible schedules, depending on their characteristic (i.e., Schedule A, A+, B, or C projects). The schedule in which a project falls determines the planning and design procedures that must be followed.

In addition to the Class EA process, the project will require an environmental screening and approval process under both the Fisheries Act and Navigable Waters Protection Act.

TRCA will require the support of a consultant team in order to fulfill the requirements of the EA planning and design process. The consultant team will possess the required geotechnical and fluvial geomorphological expertise to assist with the analysis of the preferred alternatives and the development of the construction drawings.

FINANCIAL DETAILSA budget of $40,000 has been allocated to undertake this Class EA. Funding is available from the Region of Peel Climate Change Mitigation Capital Budget under account code 129-39. The Town of Caledon will contribute in-kind support by way of consultation in 2012. Funding toward the implementation of the remedial works in the subsequent year will depend on the portion of works that falls on Town of Caledon right-of-way.

RES.#A162/12 - MAIN HUMBER RIVER AT HUMBER STATION ROAD (SOUTH OF CASTLEDERG SIDEROAD-NORTH OF KING STREET) MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTInitiation of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process for the erosion control protection works at the Humber River adjacent to Humber Station Road, Region of Peel.


THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff be directed to commence a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the preferred erosion control protection works of Humber Station Road, south of Castlederg Sideroad, north of King Street, Region of Peel, and facilitate construction of the preferred alternative;

THAT as part of the EA process staff is directed to undertake public consultation, as well as assess environmental impacts including public safety, road improvements, stream naturalization and fish habitat;

THAT authorized officials and staff be directed to take all necessary actions to implement the foregoing, including the signing of agreements or other legal documents deemed necessary in order to retain the required engineering consulting services, subject to approval of the Town of Caledon;

THAT TRCA involvement be subject to funding being available from the Town;

AND FURTHER THAT the Town of Caledon be so advised.CARRIED

BACKGROUNDThe area of concern is a section of Humber Station Road located south of Castlederg Sideroad and north of King Street (Attachment 1). The study area extends approximately 70m along the main Humber River parallel to Humber Station Road. The erosion occurring on the embankment is subsequently threatening the stability of the roadway. Town staff had flagged this area as a high priority due to public safety concerns and approached TRCA staff for viable solutions.

Currently this two lane road is buffered with a narrow shoulder that is less than 1 metre in width due to the erosion. The top of the embankment is approximately 2 metres high from the bed of the river. During the past several months, TRCA staff has been monitoring this site and has indicated that the embankment supporting the roadway has eroded by 0.75 metres within a seven month period. From a watercourse health perspective, this poses a significant concern in terms of erosion, downstream sedimentation, and fish habitat quality as well as public infrastructure and safety.

The Town and TRCA have agreed to partner on implementing a project where the elements to improve the conditions of the watercourse through bank stabilization and stream restoration can be accomplished in conjunction with the required road improvements.

355

RATIONALEThe planning and design phase of this project will be carried out in partnership with the Town of Caledon under a Municipal Class EA. The Class EA approach is considered a suitable means for the planning and design development regarding the improvement of this section of road and streambank as it provides a streamlined process that ensures compliance with Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) requirements.

This process may require the development of a Community Liaison Committee (CLC) which includes members of the general public such as affected landowners, public interest groups, and any other parties interested in the planning and design phases of the project. Interested individuals are provided with opportunities to offer recommendations on the development of the remedial solutions, and objections to design proposals where appropriate. Meetings with other regulatory agencies will also be held as deemed appropriate.

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONEThe planning and design phases of this project will be carried out under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2011) prepared by the Municipal Engineers Association in Ontario. The Class EA document places projects into four possible schedules, depending on their characteristic (i.e., Schedule A, A+, B, or C projects). The schedule in which a project falls determines the planning and design procedures that must be followed.

In addition to the Class EA process, the project will require an environmental screening and approval process under both the Fisheries Act and Navigable Waters Protection Act.

TRCA will require the support of a consultant team in order to fulfill the requirements of the EA planning and design process. The consultant team will possess the required geotechnical and fluvial geomorphological expertise to assist with the analysis of the preferred alternatives and the development of the construction drawings.

FINANCIAL DETAILSA budget of $45,000 has been allocated to undertake this Class EA. Funding is available from the Region of Peel Climate Change Mitigation Capital Budget under account code 129-39. The Town of Caledon will contribute in-kind support by way of consultation in 2012 and provide funding toward the implementation of the remedial works in the subsequent year.

RES.#A163/12 - GREENLANDS ACQUISITION PROJECT FOR 2011-2015Update on the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015 and project funding.


THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff be directed to investigate possible federal government funding opportunities for land acquisition.

AMENDMENTRES.#A164/12


THAT the following be added after the main motion:

AND FURTHER THAT staff report to the Executive Committee for further consideration.

THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED

THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED

THE RESULTANT MOTION READS AS FOLLOWS:

THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff be directed to investigate possible federal government funding opportunities for land acquisition;

AND FURTHER THAT staff report to the Executive Committee for further consideration.

BACKGROUNDTRCA has completed the acquisition of 77 acres (31 hectares) of land to date in 2012. This includes an acquisition from the Town of Ajax and six acquisitions through the development process. This brings the total lands secured by TRCA to 44,070 acres (17,835 hectares).

Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015 Funding SourcesCapital LevyIn the 2012 budget there is capital levy of $142,000 for land acquisition. These funds are utilized to cover the costs/fees related to obtaining property rights through the planning process, donations, easements and land exchanges including legal, survey, registration, environmental audits and appraisal.

Project Specific FundingTRCA carries out a number of construction projects such as trail, erosion and flood control which may require the acquisition of land. The purchase of this land is generally funded through the specific project.

358

Provincial GovernmentThe only significant funding opportunity at this time from the provincial government is available through Ontario Heritage Trust (OHT). The Natural Spaces Land Acquisition & Stewardship Program provides funds to conserve and protect provincially significant natural systems in southern Ontario through the acquisition of fee simple and conservation easement interests in privately owned land and to assist with the stewardship of lands acquired through the program. Project proposals under this program are currently due by Friday, October 5

th

, 2012.

Funding is based on the following evaluation criteria:property must be located in southern Ontario;

acquisition of the property would contribute to the long-term conservation and protection of

natural heritage systems in southern Ontario;acquisition of the property would contribute to the long-term conservation and protection of

a provincially significant natural area (as defined);the property contributes to provincial policy or statutory outcomes for specific geographic

areas (e.g. Niagara Escarpment Plan, Greenbelt Plan and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan);long-term conservation and protection of the property can most effectively be achieved

through land acquisition;the property conserves and protects targeted resources that have emerged from a

systematic approach such as a long-term strategic conservation plan, or targeted expansions of existing public lands;the property builds on prior provincial investments by expanding or connecting existing

public properties;land managers can demonstrate resources and capacity for long-term stewardship of the

property;where appropriate, the property should provide for public access;

significant financial leveraging by partner organizations is expected (i.e. 50% from the

project partner). Other provincial funds will not be considered as leverage;title must be held by the OHT or another public agency and the applicant must be prepared

to enter into a long term property Stewardship Agreement with the OHT.

City of TorontoThe protection of Lake Ontario as the source of potable water for the City of Toronto is a high priority for the City. It is recognized that protecting and improving the water quality of the various river systems and watersheds that flow into Lake Ontario through the GTA is an important objective in source water protection. A vital tool to help meet this objective is the protection of the river systems and watersheds through acquisition of key parcels of land, and to this end the City has established a Land Acquisition for Source Water Protection Reserve.

In order to be eligible for funding from the Capital Account, the property must meet at least one of the following criteria:

lands, where City staff are of the opinion that they should not be developed for

intensification purposes due to their unique environmental characteristics as significant water resources features, such as, flood plains, stream and valley corridors, natural features contiguous to stream and valley corridors, wetlands, critical fish habitat, significant vegetation/forest cover, hydrological sensitive recharge/discharge areas, etc., identified by the relevant source documents;

359

lands, where rehabilitation, regeneration and/or treatment works are planned for source

water protection, consistent to the City of Toronto Wet Weather Flow Management Master Plan Long Term Preferred Strategy or other relevant source water protection initiatives;acquisition of land within the City of Toronto shall be a first priority, funding to the TRCA for

acquisitions outside of the City of Toronto but within Toronto watersheds shall not exceed 33% of the purchase price;purchases shall be for land whose value has been appraised and that the sale price shall

not exceed fair market value;in addition to the above technical criteria, priority will be given to situations where:

there is a willing seller;

there are matching financial contributions from other sources including but not

limited to other municipalities and/or other levels of government;the parcel will supplement other public holdings in the area;

the nature and immediacy of a threat to the lands.

In 2010 there was $6 million available in the reserve for land acquisition. A majority of this acquisition funding was transferred to support significant erosion control projects in 2011. There is currently $500,000 in the reserve for 2012. It is staff's understanding that only properties located within the City of Toronto are eligible for funding.

Regional Municipality of DurhamDurham Regional Council has established a Regional Land Conservation and Protection Reserve Fund for conservation property acquisition purposes through its Land Securement Funding Policy for Conservation Areas (2007). Regional funding is based primarily on the following evaluation criteria:

properties will be purchased for conservation purposes only, as part of Conservation

Authority land acquisition plans;properties acquired will be located within, or contribute to, the enhancements of the

Regional Official Plan Greenlands System, and be outside of urban areas;properties acquired will contain key natural heritage and/or key hydrological features;

acquisitions will support Regional long-term planning and growth management (i.e. not

preclude or compromise future planned growth).

For competing proposals, preference will be given to properties that:consolidate, enlarge and/or otherwise enhance existing tracts of publicly owned

conservation lands;have the greatest percentage of natural feature coverage;

are located on the Oak Ridges Moraine;

have the greatest risks of damage and degradation;

exhibit other significant features/resources (e.g. well head protection).

The Region has also established additional criteria that must be followed as part of the process including: funding will be no more than 40% of the total direct cost of acquisition, a firm offer of purchase and sale involving a willing landowner is required as well as secured commitments from other funding partners. Conservation authorities will continue to submit consolidated five-year plans, including land acquisition programs as a separate program area as part of the business planning and budget process. The regional funding commitments expire at the end of each budget year unless otherwise identified or authorized. The annual contribution to this fund by the Region in 2012 is $960,000.

360

Regional Municipality of PeelThe Region of Peel has developed protocols and criteria to access funds from the Region’s Greenland Securement Program to help cover the costs associated with acquiring key natural heritage, environmentally sensitive and significant lands in Peel.

Criteria are fairly broad, but are provided from the general to more specific:protect, maintain, and enhance Core Areas of the Region of Peel Greenlands System;

facilitate implementation of TRCA land securement strategies aimed towards protecting,

maintaining and enhancing natural heritage systems;target areas not likely to come into public protection through other means;

to provide public access where appropriate;

contain Core Area of the Region of Peel Greenlands System, an area identified within the

current TRCA Greenlands Acquisition Protection Project, or a locally significant wetland;land use factors influencing the need and justification for securing the property;

value of securing the property to the Region.

Applications are considered by the Greenlands Securement Subcommittee (GSSC), a subcommittee of Council. Recommendations are made by the GSSC to Regional Council. Generally up to 50% of the required funding will be provided where appropriate to leverage funding from other funding partners. The annual contribution to this program by the Region is $750,000.

Regional Municipality of YorkThe Regional Municipality of York has a long standing commitment to protecting the natural environment through policy, legislation and on-the-ground action through the Region’s Greening Strategy. The Greening Strategy provides the framework for initiatives to restore habitat, increase forest cover, secure greenlands and their linkages, and promote and protect the natural environment. Since 2001, $1.4 million has been allocated annually to the Region’s Greening Strategy. Approximately $800,000 is reserved for land securement costs associated with easements, donations and acquisitions. Securement opportunities can be brought forward at the staff level both internally or externally and are weighed against Council approved securement criteria by an Internal Evaluation Team and brought forward for Council approval if the base criteria have been met. Land securement criteria primarily focus on connection and enhancement of York Regions Greenlands System but also place value on partnerships. In general, for land securement opportunities with an acquisition component, York Region’s preference is a funding model which includes multiple partners with equal contributions. Local MunicipalitiesThere have been certain priority locations where the local municipality wanted to expedite the acquisition of a property by contributing to the purchase. In recent years, TRCA has received funding from the City of Pickering, Town of Richmond Hill and the City of Markham for the acquisition of specific properties.

361

Oak Ridges Moraine FoundationThe Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation (ORMF) started in 2002 with an investment of $15 million from the Province of Ontario. Since then ORMF has granted $14.1 million to 177 projects. TRCA has benefited from almost $2.2 million from ORMF for land acquisition. Since ORMF has almost exhausted the original provincial funding, they have not provided grants for land acquisition for the last few years.

Nature Conservancy of CanadaNature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) has acquisition funding from various levels of government for the securement of property within their Natural Area Conservation Plans. There is only one of these areas within TRCA's justification known as the "Happy Valley Forest Natural Area" Conservation Plan. Generally, NCC has obtained their funding from the federal and provincial governments, the Regional Municipality of York and private fundraising for the Happy Valley Forest acquisitions. TRCA has acquired one property in the Happy Valley Forest in partnership with NCC.

Additionally, staff understands that Parks Canada may be able to purchase lands as strategic additions to the Rouge National Urban Park.

Other Non-governmental OrganizationsA number non-government organizations such as the Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust, Oak Ridges Trail Association, Green Durham and Ducks Unlimited Canada have provided small amounts of funding to TRCA for land acquisition.

Foundations and Private DonationsTRCA also on occasion receives donations from private foundations and private donors for land acquisition.

CONCLUSIONAs outlined above, TRCA's municipal funding partners continue to provide funding support for greenlands acquisition on a property by property basis. The various programs cover up to 50% (with the exception of Durham at 40%) of the purchase costs associated with acquiring the properties. In the last few years TRCA has lost our major funding partners that have provided matching funding for these programs including the City of Toronto and the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation, which has made the acquisition process more challenging.

The Province of Ontario through OHT has a funding opportunity available at this time and staff is proposing to submit a number of applications for this funding. Also, staff will continue to explore opportunities for funding from local municipalities, NCC, other non-government organizations and donations to match the funding from our municipal funding partners.

362

The greatest potential opportunity to secure additional land acquisition funding is the federal government. The federal government has provided natural areas land acquisition funding through NCC in the past and staff believes there is an opportunity to convince the federal government to provide natural area funding to TRCA.
