RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose of this permit application is to alter the alignment of a portion of a headwater drainage feature associated with Pomona Creek and the reconstruction of an existing on-line stormwater management facility and the reconstruction of an existing on-line stormwater management facility within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Don River Watershed,. The realignment of the feature is required to facilitate the implementation of the next phase of funeral services for the Archdiocese of Toronto, including the construction of a second Mausoleum for the Holy Cross Cemetery, the construction of a network of service and access roads, and the reconfiguration of an existing on-site stormwater management pond, associated with a site plan control application and a municipal building permit. The subject property is located south of Highway 407, east of Langstaff Road, and west of Bayview Avenue. The existing feature is a remnant of a dendritic headwater drainage feature, of which many sections of the feature has been removed over the years through site alteration and grading works within the cemetery lands. The remaining feature conveys surface flows from the Langstaff Secondary Plan Area, surface drainage from the cemetery lands, and drains into an online wetland stormwater management facility, but does not support fish habitat. The facility drains to an outfall which is piped south of the cemetery, into an existing residential community, which outlets into Pomona Creeks further downstream. The existing stormwater facility is subject to drainage easements in favour of the City of Markham. The proposed redesigned pond will be constructed to the satisfaction of the TRCA and City and will require a permit from the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC). The easement documents will be adjusted to reflect the changes to the facility from a wetland stormwater facility to a symmetrical, open water stormwater management pond and the easements will remain in favour of the City of Markham. The realignment of the drainage feature will remain open and continue to convey existing flows. The new channel will be seeded and planted to provide thermal mitigation. Any future development plans which may further require amendments to the channel will be subject to a separate permit upon application of the third phase of development of the Cemetery. The proposed works are located on tableland, and is not within the Regional Floodplain. As such, there are no flood related concerns, geotechnical issues, or ecology related concerns with this application. Control of Flooding: The subject property is not located within the Regulatory Flood Plain. There will be no anticipated impacts on the storage and conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Appropriate Sediment and Erosion control measures will be put in place and maintained during all construction phases. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable

9

Erosion: There are no anticipated impacts identified to slope stability or erosion as a result of the proposed works. Conservation of Land: The existing feature is currently in a constrained and in a degraded state. The realigned channel will be restored and all disturbed areas will to be stabilized with seed and restored with native, non-invasive plantings. Plantings

A restoration planting plan is included as part of the proposed works which is composed of native, non-invasive plantings consistent with TRCA guidelines.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 8.8 Interference with a Watercourse, of the The Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

11

Proposal: The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed in order to facilitate site alteration, grading and construction of residential townhouses and the construction of an outfall. All proposed works are associated with a municipal building permit. The subject property is adjacent to a watercourse known as Tributary B within the Cornell Community. This tributary within the Rouge River Watershed was reconstructed under Ontario Regulation 158 (Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways) Permit No. C-05109, which was issued on May 6, 2005. It is noted that the potential loss of fish habitat within Tributary B was authorized by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) as part of Fisheries Act Authorization # 525-1342 (1999). This authorization was provided for the above previously approved works to construct a new tributary channel and to allow for the development of the triple-box culvert under Highway 7. The proposed works are located within the Cornell Centre Community, located on the south side of Highway 7 East, north of Highway 407, and east of 9th Line, in the City of Markham. The plan of subdivision (19TM-06012) formed the block on the draft plan, which was approved with TRCA conditions by the Town of Markham in 2007. The approval of the draft plan has been subject to multiple extensions over the years. The proposed works implement an approved site plan application which was reviewed and approved by TRCA staff, and include the construction of an outfall to the channel block. The setbacks to the natural heritage system were established through the original draft plan of subdivision approval. The proposed works are setback from the constructed top of bank and Regional Floodplain limit as established through the original draft plan of subdivision approval, and as such, there are no flood related concerns, geotechnical issues, or ecology related concerns with this application. Control of Flooding: The residential construction works are located on tableland, while the outfall is to be constructed on the slope of the realigned channel within Cornell Centre. The location of the outfall is set back from the tributary, and as such, staff do not anticipate the proposed works will impact the storage of conveyance of flood waters. Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion controls will be installed and maintained throughout the construction phase in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering the adjacent tributary. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no anticipated impacts identified to slope stability or erosion as a result of the proposed works. Conservation of Land: All disturbed areas and areas to be graded will to be isolated from the channel and will be restored with native, non-invasive plantings. The channel block was previously transferred to the City in the early phases of development. The landowner has received landowner authorization from the City of Markham to undertake the outfall works. Furthermore, the appropriate sediment and erosion control measures shall be implemented as shown on the supporting drawings submitted with the permit application.

12

Plantings All proposed plantings and seed mixes are native and non-invasive consistent with TRCA's planting guidelines.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 8.4 - General Regulation Policies of the Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the TRCA.

originating on the site or elsewhere on Lot 27, 28, Concession 3 Block 10, Plan 65M-3997, (10961 and 11121 Leslie Street), in the Town of Richmond Hill, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Leslie Elgin Developments Inc. The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed to facilitate site alteration and grading, the implementation temporary stormwater management facilities, and reinforcement of an existing culvert crossing in support of an OMB approved draft plan of subdivision, associated with a municipal building permit.

The permit will be issued for the period of June 10, 2016 to June 9, 2018 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking prepared by Dave Stewart, Vice President TACC Developments,

dated June 6, 2016 committing to complete TRCA's requirements prior to final issuance of the permit.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

14

Proposal: The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed in order to facilitate site alteration and grading, the construction of temporary stormwater management ponds, and reinforced construction access to the site in support of the 2015 OMB and municipally approved draft plan of subdivision, associated with a municipal permit. The subject property is located north of Elgin Mills Road East, east of Leslie Street, west of Highway 404, and south of 19th Avenue, in the Town of Richmond Hill. Located in the North Leslie Secondary Plan Area, the Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) for North Leslie (East of Leslie) was reviewed and approved by TRCA staff on August 15, 2015 for the subject lands, and subsequently approved by the Town of Richmond Hill. The works includes establishing the rough grades for the overall draft plan of subdivision and includes temporary stormwater management control ponds to treat construction generated sediment prior to discharging to the adjacent natural features. The temporary sediment and erosion controls will remain in place until the subdivision is completed, at which time the temporary pond will be removed and the permanent stormwater management ponds will implemented, and will be subject to separate TRCA permits. Engineering staff have confirmed that the proposed temporary stormwater management and mitigation plan are consistent with the principles of the approved MESP, and a comprehensive monitoring plan will be completed to TRCA's satisfaction. Staff have further reviewed the details associated with the temporary outlet structure which will discharge to wetland associated with the tributary and wetlands, and are satisfied with the level of controls. Through the MESP review process, the sensitive aquatic communities including wetlands and watercourses traversing the property, as well as a rookery containing over 60 heron nests, to the north of the property (considered as provincially significant habitat) were identified. These areas have been protected through the Secondary Plan policies with respect to the natural heritage system. As a result, development is to be phased to minimize impacts to these habitats to the greatest possible extent. The tributaries and wetlands have been protected through the policies by enforcing a 30 metre buffer from the features while the heron habitat is protected and preserved through the secondary plan policies and supporting MESP recommendation, including the prohibition of heavy equipment construction activity during the nesting season (March 15 - July 31). As such, in accordance with the approved MESP, heavy construction works are prohibited within 500 metres of the heronry from March 15 to June 31, and for the month July, heavy construction activity is prohibited within 300 metres. The remainder of the works adjacent to the heronry will be required to occur after July 31. Due to this restriction, to respect this heronry timing window, an additional construction access is required. As a result, this permit includes utilizing an existing culvert crossing to the south, which was previously used to access the lands for farming activities. The crossing is to be reinforced with concrete and steel plates to facilitate heavy truck access to the site, and will also be isolated from the creek with jersey barriers wrapped in filter cloth and coir logs in order to prevent construction generated sediment from entering the watercourse. As a precautionary measure, a contingency plan has been created in case of an accidental spill into the watercourse. With this contingency plan in place, TRCA staff have no anticipated flooding, ecology or geotechnical related concerns with this proposal. Control of Flooding: The proposed works are predominantly located on tableland, and the proposed crossing utilizes and existing culvert. As such, there are no impacts anticipated related to flood control or flood conveyance as a result of these works.

15

Pollution: Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures are to be installed prior to, and maintained during all phases of construction. In addition, a comprehensive monitoring plan has been approved for the ongoing monitoring of the sensitive wetland and watercourses. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable Erosion: There are no slope stability and/or erosion related concerns with this application. Conservation of Land: The site has been historically used as active farmland. As such, there is no significant vegetation to be removed as a result of this project. Furthermore, there are no in-water works proposed within this permit, and as such, no fisheries related impacts are anticipated with this permit. Plantings

As the subdivision works will be staged. this permit does not include the planting and restoration of the environmental buffers at this time. All planting and restoration works will be included in subsequent stages of the overall construction works for the plan of subdivision and the permanent stormwater management facilities.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal is consistent with Section 8.4 - General Regulation Policies of the Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the TRCA.

TOWN OF RICHMOND HILL 10.20 LESLIE ELGIN DEVELOPMENTS INC. To site grade and temporarily or permanently place, dump or remove any material,

originating on the site or elsewhere on (10961 and 11121 Leslie Street), in the Town of Richmond Hill, Rouge River Watershed as located on the property owned by Leslie Elgin Developments Inc.. The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed to facilitate the minor filling of 23 cubic metres of floodplain, in support of an OMB approved draft plan of subdivision.

The permit will be issued for the period of June 10, 2016 to June 9, 2018 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: • Letter of Undertaking prepared by Dave Stewart, Vice President TACC Developments,

dated June 6, 2016 committing to complete TRCA's requirements prior to final issuance of the permit.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The purpose is to undertake works within a TRCA Regulated Area of the Rouge River Watershed in order to fill 23 cubic metres of land associated with the flood fringe of the Regional Floodplain, in support of the 2015 OMB and municipally approved draft plan of subdivision, associated with a municipal permit. The subject property is located north of Elgin Mills Road East, east of Leslie Street, west of Highway 404, and south of 19th Avenue, in the Town of Richmond Hill. Located in the North Leslie Secondary Plan Area, the Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) for North Leslie (East of Leslie) was reviewed and approved by TRCA staff on August 15, 2015 for the subject lands, and subsequently approved by the Town of Richmond Hill.

17

The proposed works are located within the flood fringe of the Regional Storm Floodplain however the volume of fill is considered to be minor in nature (23 cubic metres) and it is not anticipated that the works will create any new hazard. Furthermore, there are no anticipated impacts related to flood control or flood conveyance associated with these works. As the North Leslie Secondary Plan also provides for greater buffers to the natural heritage features, the OMB approved plan of subdivision provides for an overall net gain to the natural system, and as such, the works are considered acceptable. Control of Flooding: The proposed works includes the filling of the 23 cubic metres of the Regional Storm Floodplain. The works are considered to be minor, and is not anticipated that the works will create any new hazard. As all the remaining lands associated with the Floodplain will be conveyed into public ownership, there no further anticipated impacts related to flood control or flood conveyance associated with these works.

The subject property is partially within a stream corridor associated with a tributary to the East Humber River. The rear portion of the property is within the Estimated Regional Storm Flood Plain associated with the watercourse. The Estimated Regional Storm Flood Plain extends to an elevation of 258.2 metres above sea level (masl) on the property. The proposed works are located within the Estimated Regional Storm Flood Plain. Based on the location of the Estimated Regional Flood Plain, there was no opportunity to locate the proposed swimming pool outside of the Regional Storm Flood Plain. TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed swimming pool and landscaping, involving placement of patio stones, has been appropriately designed such that it will not impact flood storage and conveyance. Furthermore, the location of the proposed swimming pool is generally flat and is void of any significant natural features. As such, there are no geotechnical or ecology related concerns anticipated with this project. Control of Flooding: The proposed works will be located within the Regional Storm Flood Plain. TRCA staff are satisfied that the proposed inground swimming pool and patio stone landscaping will not impact flood storage and conveyance. Pollution: Sediment control fencing will be erected and maintained for the duration of construction to prevent the transportation of sediment from the property. Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable. Erosion: There are no geotechnical and/or slope stability concerns associated with this project. Conservation of Land: The location of the proposed works is void of any significant vegetation. As such, no significant vegetation will be removed. Plantings

The applicant has proposed restoration plantings in order to create a vegetated buffer between the proposed works and the watercourse located at the rear of the property.

Policy Guidelines: This proposal complies with Section 8.5.1.7 - Property Improvements and Non-habitable Accessory Structures - of the The Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the TRCA.
