Attention: Mavor Neil CraiQ and Council
Dear Sirs,
Re: Compliments to the Oro-Medonte Fire Department
I write to commend your fire department for their prompt, efficient and courteous service.
We are undergoing major renovations, and ihe activities have, unfortunately, caused our alarm
system to malfunction. Last week, the system sent a false alarm to our monitoring station which,
although having been notified of the construction, dispatched the fire department anyways.
Fortunately there was no emergency. The incident did, however, give us the opportunity to
experience first-hand how quickly the fire department responds. Once on the scene, they
thoroughly checked the premises, including all smoke, heat and carbon monoxide detectors.
Furthermore, Mr. Scott Cowden was supremely understanding, helpful and patient in trying to
resolve the malfunction.
Please extend our thanks and appreciation to all your firefighters.
Singe~Y,

The Church Woods
Shanty Bay
Note for Agenda - Meeting of Council of
The Township of Oro-Medonte
June 7, 2006
Purpose of the Delegation:
A group of Shanty Bay residents, in partnership with The Couchiching Conservancy (TCC), are
embarking on a fundraising campaign, to acquire the Church Woods for the TCC and future
generations of community residents. The Church Woods are located just west of St. Thomas's
Anglican Church in Shanty Bay, Ontario.
Project Description and Ecological Significance of The Church Woods:
The Church Woods property is a 25 acre parcel of mixed hardwood trees, located within the
Village of Shanty Bay, to the west of St. Thomas's Church, north of Bay Street and South of the
Ridge Road. The Church Woods have been identified as ecologically significant and as an Old
Growth Forest. The property contains over thirty species of trees and supports specialized plant
communities, as well as significant breeding bird habitats. However, The Church Woods are
under serious threat as an area for residential development. Because this is a relatively rare stand
of forest within a residential community, the purchase of this ecologically significant property is
an essential conservation strategy.
Recent Development:
This residents' group has been approached by the current owners of the property with a proposal
to purchase The Church Woods, on condition that the property remain in its current, undeveloped
state. It is proposed that TCC will act as the owner of this land, based on several very successful
models in the past. We have begun an initiative, in conjunction with the TCC, to raise funds
locally towards the project cost, focusing on individual donors, a few foundations and allied
organizations.
Proposal:
The Shanty Bay residents who will be forming a delegation to Council on June 7,2006, would
like to respectfully request that The Township of Oro-Medonte partner with them in the raising
of funds for this project, by donating money to The Couchiching Conservancy to assist with the
purchase of the property from the current owners.
Further particulars of the history of The Church Woods, its ecological significance, the proposed
community and educational uses of The Church Woods, the budget for the purchase and funding
sources will be presented at the Council meeting.
Residents' Group: Tim Crooks, Brenda and Stan Glazer, Vicki Hand, Catherine Nixon,
Suzanne Robillard, Jim Robinson and Jim Swan. Guest: Ron Reid, Executive Director of The
Couchiching Conservancy.
Project Description: The Church Woods, Shanty Bay
Ecological Significance of The Chnrch Woods:
The Church Woods property is a 25 acre parcel of mature hardwood trees and softwood trees,
located within the Village of Shanty Bay, to the west of the historic St. Thomas's Church and
close to Kempenfelt Bay. The Church Woods have been identified as an Old Growth Forest,
containing over thirty species of trees. However, the Woods are under serious threat as an area
for residential development. Because this is a relatively rare stand of forest within a residential
community, the purchase of this ecologically significant property is an essential conservation
strategy.
The Church Woods have been owned by the same family group since 1832. The property abuts
the western boundary ofSt. Thomas's Anglican Church. The church was built in 1832 partly
from trees cut from these woods, making a unique connection between the natural and cultural
heritage of Shanty Bay.
The Woods form part of a continuous belt of forest stretching from Barrie almost to Orillia, just
west of the Lake Simcoe shoreline. This corridor and Ridge Road follow an ancient beach and
bluff system along the former shores of the glacial lake, Lake Algonquin. Because the soil in the
Church Woods contains many granite rocks and boulders, 1his area was never suitable for
agricultural crops.
The Church Woods property is crossed by footpaths used frequently by residents of the
surrounding area for walking, cross-country skiing and horse-back riding. The forest is traversed
by a brook during the spring snow run off and fall rainy season; the forest slows the melting of
snow in the spring and absorbs the spring snow melt water and prevents flooding over Bay Street
to the south.
The Church Woods contain a host of species that are uncommon to rare in Ontario, including
many plants and invertebrates. The Church Woods have at least thirty species of trees, including
good specimens of the nationally-threatened Butternut. This diversity forms an important habitat
for pileated, downy, red-headed and other woodpeckers, as well as other forest birds and
mammals such as squirrels, raccoons, porcupines and deer, rabbits and foxes. The drainage ditch
along the southern boundary forms a habitat for frogs and other amphibians.
The Church Woods have been operated as a Managed Forest since 1992. Apart from being
selectively logged for timber twice in the past forty years, the property has not been touched. The
woods were last selectively logged in 1992, so most of the trees are mature and in good
condition. Old Growth Forests occupy less than 1 % of the remaining forest cover in southern
Ontario, so healthy examples such as The Church Woods are especially valuable.
In light of all ofthe foregoing, there is no question about the ecological significance of the
Church Woods.

The Need for Conservation of The Church Woods:
The owners of the Church Woods, who have conscientiously preserved the property based on
sound community and ecological principles, are now interested in selling the property. They
would prefer to sell the property to local residents on condition that the woods be preserved in
their current natural state, rather than divided up into lots for the construction of houses or other
buildings.
A group of the local residents, interested in maintaining the owners' principles of good land
stewardship, has identified The Couchiching Conservancy as the ideal future owner of the
property. The Conservancy Board has approved their involvement in the project, and both the
current owners and the neighbouring land owners have entered into Letters of Intent for the
purchase of the property. The transaction is conditional upon an independent appraisal to
establish its current market value, and on the necessary purchase funds being raised within
approximately 90 days.
The Couchiching Conservancy will act as the owner of this project, based on a very successful
model provided by the Grant's Woods project in 2002. The Conservancy will register the
property with the Ecological Gifts Program of Enviromnent Canada, to ensure that it will always
remain in its natural state. They will also prepare a management plan for The Church Woods to
ensure their ecological and community benefits, and will involve local residents in stewardship
activities. The Conservancy and the local residents will raise funds locally towards the overall
project cost, focusing on individual donors, a few foundations, and allied organizations such as
nature clubs.
Background on The Couchiching Conservancy:
The Couchiching Conservancy is a regional land trust based in Orillia, Ontario. The
Conservancy currently owns or manages 22 properties of ecological significance totaling over
7,000 acres in a region from Midland to Kirkfield and from Barrie to Muskoka. This local
organization has successfully participated in three cooperative projects with the Nature
Conservancy of Canada to purchase properties within the Carden Alvar.
The Conservancy is a registered charitable organization (13972-5030 RR0001) and a certified
recipient for Ecological Gifts. It can also receive donations of securities if desired, since this
arrangement brings improved income tax benefits. It currently has three staff, and an annual
budget of $250,000.

Purchase Cost of The Church Woods:
The final purchase price for Church Woods will be established through an independent appraisal.
The current owners have proposed a cash payment of $600,000, with any value above that
recognized through a charitable tax receipt.
Funding sources:
For the $600,000 local budget for the project, we anticipate revenues over the next two years
from:
Individual donors:
$440,000
Municipality:
$60,000
$100,000
Other Sources:
Partnering to Complete the Purchase of The Church Woods:
We encourage interested parties to contribute funds to The Couchiching Conservancy in trust for
the specific purpose of purchasing The Church Woods. We encourage members ofthe Shanty
Bay community to assist in preserving this important ecological jewel. The Church Woods may
be used as an educational tool by the local school and will continue to serve as a buffer against
creeping urbanization of the area. The Church Woods, under the stewardship of The
Couchiching Conservancy and local volunteers will be preserved for use by members of the
community and their children and their children for generations to come.

Pursuant to the February 23, 2006 Commission meeting minutes, the FCS Fire
Protection Plan proposal remains under peer review by the Township of Oro-

provided a summation of the additional and unbudgeted time that FCS IS
allocating to the project, ultimately exceeding the original budget allowan~ . by
three-fold. It was reviewed that although the initial goal of proving the eXisting
water supply as sufficient has been met in principle, FCS did report further
outstanding items. The overall requirement of the peer review process was
discussed. It was noted that Township staffs did not inform FCS or the Lake
Simcoe Regional Airport Commission of their intent to conduct such a review and
that it was an after-the-fact decision. P. Mulrooney respectfully inquired as to
why the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport is building hangars to the requirements of
the OBC under the jurisdiction of a local building authority rather than conforming

G. Femandes updated the members as to the status of the Fire Protection Plan.
Pursuant to the March 16, 2006 Commission meeting minutes, correspondences
from both FCS as well as Weatherwise Aviation were reviewed. It was reviewed
that the process has successfully provided an agreement to accept the existing
water supply as sufficient, pending final agreement of additional terms. As a
result of relevant historical information submitted by Weatherwise Aviation
regarding the original water supply agreement, which was originally agreed upon
by previous Township of Oro-Medonte senior staffs and as a result of changes to
what was originally deemed as adequate, a final agreement is not forthcoming in
the immediate future. It was once again reviewed that changes in Township of
Oro-Medonte senior staffs as well as the peer review process have added further
terms to that of the original agreement. Direction was given to staff advise FCS
that in consideration of these correspondences and in response to Weatherwise
Aviation, the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commission no longer requires the
active services provided by FCS Fire Consulting Services Ltd.

. Source Water Protection (SWP) Committee Formation, Draft Guidance Report
and NVCA response
The Chair and CAO/Secretary-Treasurer reviewed the process of establishing the
committee members. In general the NVCA supports the draft Conservation Ontario
Source Water Protection Committee Guidance Document
The process of selecting the SWP committee will be directed by the Lead Source
Water Protection Authority. Flexibility is required to provide adequate and equitable
representation on a per watershed basis, The selection process should include
Municipal (political) and Conservation Authority (technical) staff representation.
VICE CHAIR, WALTER BENOTTO CHAIRED THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING.
. Source Water Protection (SWP) Information Session Update
Fred Nix provided an overview of the SWP Information Session, and noted that
there still is a need to clarify the role of the NVCA.
The NVCA Full Board noted that a balance of Agricultural and Rural representation
is an important factor. Our Region is the most complex within the source water
protection process. There appears to be some confusion regarding specific
responsibilities municipalities will have. The current Act notes that the local
municipalities will be responsible for enforcing the legislation.
CHAIR FRED NIX RESUMED HIS SEAT AND CHAIRED THE REMAINDER OF THE
MEETING.
. Conservation Ontario Strategic Review & NVCA response
The CAO/Secretary Treasurer identified five strategic directions and their
associated strategic actions which have been supported by staff:
. Promote the value of watershed management
. Diversify relationships and findings sources
. Build capacity of Conservation Authorities
. Influence Policy Development
. Evolution of Conservation Ontario
Until a more detailed work plan identifying staff resources and costs is developed; it
is difficult for the NVCA to make specific recommendations on the details of the
strategy,
. Assimilative Capacity Study update
The CAO/Secretary-Treasurer advised that the report should be finalized in the
next month and forwarded to the Ministry of the Environment for endorsement It is
anticipated that a Executive summary will be produced to be distributed to the
Municipalities.
. Conservation Authority Moraine Coalition Annual Report
The Annual Report was provided for the information of the Full Board.

There being no further nominations, G.A Walker closed the process
and called for the vote, B. Molesworth distributed ballots and then
collected and counted them. B. Trounce was elected Vice-Chairman,
4.1 Striking of an Evaluation Committee
G.A Walker explained that, in the past, the Chair and Vice-Chair have
formed the committee. B. Molesworth provided a copy of the form the
Town uses when carrying out Staff evaluations. The Board, as the CEO's
employer, is responsible for performing this duty. The C.A.O. of the
Town of Midland also provides feedback, but in a different manner.
After some discussion, it was agreed that a copy of the Town's
evaluation form be given to all Board members and then returned to
G.A. Walker or B. Trounce. When all completed forms are in, they will
compile the information and arrange to meet with B. Molesworth for
the final evaluation.
4.2 Reading Series
B. Molesworth distributed sample posters for this summer's Reading
Series and a separate sheet with biographies of the eight authors which
will be incorporated into a separate pamphlet.
The idea, this year, is to put less information on the poster but also
produce a separate pamphlet with detailed information about the authors.
B. Molesworth may already have two sponsors for the series willing to
contribute $500.00 each.
The Mirror will be putting together an advertising page about the event
for which we will pay half, the rest will come from other sponsors.
Other local newspapers have been approached. There will be a
concerted effort to attract more of the summer residents this year.
Tickets will be $7.00 for one reading, $25.00 for any four or $40.00 for
all eight. The series will run from Thursday, July 6 to Sunday, July 9
and Thursday, July 13 to Sunday, July 16. An application has been sent
to the Canada Council asking for $2,000.00
The Board congratulated B. Molesworth for his work on this initiative.

6.5 Report from tbe Friends of the Midland Public Library
At the recent Friends meeting, it was decided that clear objectives will be
developed in the hope of recruiting more help around certain initiatives.
The Book Sale will be held Saturday, July 8th. a.A. Walker asked for
volunteers to work 2 hour shifts the day of the sale. Board members will
check their calendars.
Shirley Whittington has been working on the idea of an endowment fund,
Several ads have run in the newspaper advertising the concept of
donations or bequests in memory of a loved one.
The display sign for the front lawn, that the Friends purchased, has
arrived and will be installed when the Town determines its best
placement.
7. New business
7.1 Architectural Drawings
B. Molesworth has received an offer from Steven Langmead, who worked
with Margaret Beckman on our space analysis study, offering to work
with another semi-retired architect and set down a framework to help
select an architectural fIrm to produce drawings for the Library's
expansion. They would nominate four or fIve fIrms that have experience
in designing Library expansions, especially working with older,
historical buildings. The Board would then choose from the list.
The other alternative is to advertise in architectural magazines, The
feeling about the second option was that the Board does not have the
expertise or knowledge to make an informed choice from what could be
a large number of unknown architectural fIrms. B. Molesworth has drafted
a letter for S. Langmead to edit prior to being sent to the selected fIrms.
He will provide a copy for Board review at the next meeting.

7.3 Visual Aid Machine
The Villa Care Centre has donated a machine to us, that belonged to a
previous resident, that magnifies the print of books or papers for people
that are visually impaired. A place to put it has yet to be decided. It is in
the Reference Department right now.
7.4 StatTmg
B. Molesworth informed the Board of the potential for some long term
staff absences this year due to health problems. These could lead to
problems with staffing. He recommended that we hire someone to work
on-call, with a guaranteed number of minimum hours per week. There
is currently some money in the part-time staff line of the budget that
isn't being completely utilized. One of the Staff will eventually be on
EI which will also free up some money, The Board agreed with
B. Molesworth's recommendation.
Moved by: A. Campbell
Seconded by: A. Wilkes
That the Board authorize B. Molesworth to initiate necessary Staffing
adjustments.

Q) 2006 Budget Book- History, Mandate and Mission Statement
The Lake SilTICOC Region Conservation Authority was created as the Upper
Holland Valley Conservation Authority on September 6, 1951. Our history is one
of adapting to constant change with our rnunicipal partners. Enlarged in 1960, we
were renamed the Holland Valley Conservation Authority. In 1970, the
municipalities of Scott and Georgina joined the Conservation Authority and with
this change a new name cluerged - South Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority.
1nnisf11 united with the Conservation Authority in 1974 and an additional
expansion to include northern Durham Region occurred in 1978. To better reflect
the area we serve, our name was changed to the Lake Sirllcoe Region
ConservaIion Authority onJuly 9,1986.
A further expansion took place in 2000 to include the remaining northern portion
of Brock Township within the Lake Simcoe watershed, from Beaverton to the
Talbot River. In 2001, the Townships of Oro-}"fedonte and Ramara joined the
Conservation Authority's membership. In May 2003, a unanimous vote was
passed to expand the Lake Sirncoe Region Conservation Authority's area of
jurisdiction to include the northern portion of the City of Barrie.
There continues to be trell1endous change in Ontario and this change is not about
to end in the near fnture. The LSRCA has adapted very well to this change and
continues to adapt to new challenges each step along the way. Our strategic plan
H\Vatcrshed 2010" outlines our vision, defines our mission, and includes our
values.
. MISSION STATEMENT'
To provide leadership in the restoration and protection of the environmental
health and guality of Lake Simcoe and its watershed -with our comll1unity,
municipal and other government partners.

On October 20, 2005, the Lake Suncoe Environmental I'vIanagement Strategy partners - federal and provincial departments and ministries, regional governments,
n1unicipalities, citizens and the Chippewas of the Georgina First Nations - held a workshop to announce the latest progress report on the health of Lake Silncoe and its
watershed. New monitoring info,rmation indicated that phosphorus loading to the lake has decreased. This was supported by the discovery of a small population of wild
lake trout surviving to adulthood in Lake Simcoe. Though it is still early, the possibility that this popular fish population is rebounding is a prornising indication that the
efforts of residents, COillll1Unities, environmental and government agencies are having a positive impact:. \Ve recognize that the lake is still impaired despite this news and
we must remain vigilant to ituprove lake water '-luality. Through a more comprehensive watershed tuanagement program, the Conservation Authority will continue to work
'\v1th its many partners to make Lake Sirncoe the highest priority.
~ \\lith a surface arca of 722 km2, Lake Simcoe is
southern Ontario's largcst body of water
exclusive of the Great Lakes,
~' Thirty-five rivers flow into Lakc Simcoe,
draining a land area of 2,281 km2. Five major
river systen1s (Holland, Black, Beaver,
Peffedaw and Uxbridge) drain 60% of the
watershed. Of these five rivers, four start in
the Oak Ridges Moraine.
'i' Lake Simcoe is the source of potable water for
five n1ll11icipalities and it receives the treated
effluent from 14 sewage treatment plants.
~. .An estinlated 12,000 cottages around Lake Simcoe
add between 40,000 and 50,000 people to the
region throughout the sutnmer.
~ Lake Sitncoe receives the most angling effort of
any Ontario inland lake ~ 100/0 of resident and
5% of all non-resident angling,
i , I I
m~lo 15 20km
-4-
{~' Each winter there are bet\veen 2,000 and 4,000
ice huts scattered across the ice of Lake
Simcoe
'ii' Approximately $200 million is generated
annually by tourism and recreation on Lake
Sitllcoe. Ice fishing alone generates $30
million annually,
~ The most sought after species of fish by
anglers in Lake Simcoe are lake whitefish, lake
trout, and yellow perch.
~ Lake Simcoe is within a one hour drive for half
the population of Ontario.
~ Through the LSEMS Program, the
Conservation Authority has targeted to reduce
the current 100 metric tons of phospholus
entering Lake Simcoe by 25 n1ctric tons.
~ Lake Simcoe is a very valuable l1atural
resource.

expertise by providing training and development programs. In the 2006 13udget we are allocating training dollars for such programs as health and safety/first aid, word
processing, customer service, Ontario IvIunicipal T'vIanagen1cnt Institute (OrvHvII) courses, registration fess for annual conferences, and an intensive leadership program
designed to strengthen the competencies of the Conservation Authority's management team. In addition, the Conservation Authority supports employees' educational
pursuits as long as the course(s) of study relate to their position within the Conservation Authority.
e-a.. Compensation Management (General Levy) - In order for the Conservation Authority to renuin competitive in thc marketplace, LSRCA has c01nmitted to
undertake a full compensation managen1ent review every three years, although the previous study to the one undertaken in 2005 was in 1999. This process involves
the evaluation of each position within the Conservation Authority to detcnnine a point and grading structure for each position then placement of the positions
appropriately on a salary grid. As a follow-up to the completion of the study in late 2005, funds have heen set aside in the 2006 budget to enable us to hire a
compensation consultant to assist us \.vith the devclop1nent and in1plementation of a job evaluation maintenance process.
,.. Human Resources Information System (IIRIS) (Conservation Authority Generated) - With the increasing growth that Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority
has been experiencing we are recommending the purchase an HRrs system. An HRIS program will enable the Authority to report and track employee training and
development requirements, performance managcr:nent, employee vacation/ overti1ne/ sick leave as well as 1naintain electronic employee fues and provide I-IR mettics
for use when developing an Authority HR Strategy.
Projects and Studies
.;.&-. Lake Simcoe Environmental Management Strategy (Special Capital Levy) - Lake Simcoe is a valuable natural resource estimated at being worth $200 Inillion
annually to the local econ01ny. In order to keep Lake Simcoe healthy and clean, the annual phosphorus target for the lake needs to be 75 metric tonnes, a reduction
from the current 100 metric tonnes per year. To reduce phosphonls pollution from entering Lake Simcoe, at least one metric of phosphorus must be reduced each
year for the next 20 years.
Phase III of the LSEMS Implementation Program was launched in September of 2002 led by tbe LSRCA and involving the following partners:
. First Nations of Georgina and Rama
. the federal government
. the provincial government

LSElYfS III will continue to focus on efforts to control and reduce phosphonls loadings entering Lake SiIl1coe, it monitoring program to assess the changes in the
ecological health of the lake and it's tributaries, and a public education \outrcach program. Specific activities include: minimizing new sources of phosphorus loadings
associated with urban dcvcloplncnt through the use of regulations, reducing existing phosphorus loadings from agriculture by initiating capital projects, continued
monitoring of the lake, rivers and fishery, and educating and mobilizing the community to action.
LSEMS Co-ordil1ation /Administration/Communications (Special Capital Levy, Registration Fees) - Funding has been provided for stafling and expenses
involved to co-ordinate the activities of LSEMS, as well as costs associated with building consensus among public groups, stakeholders and governments to develop
a "one-voice action plan" for restoring the health and quality of Lake Simcoe and its watershed,
LSBMS B"sin-\Vide Lake Simcoe W"tersbed Plan (Special Capital Levy) - This watershed plan will identify opportunities (e,g. land nse strategies, policies, resource
stewardship, land securement, and other options) to protect and rehabilitate the quality and integrity of the Lake Simcoe ecosystem, This c01nprehensive plan will
be completed in four phases. Phase 1 involved the development of an Envlxo111nental Assessment Tool to assist in protecting significant natural features and functions
through land use management and was completed in early 2005. Phase 2 (Ecosystem Analysis) began in 2005 and involves the characterization and analysis of the
enviroll1nent and the creation of models to analyze the effects of various land use and resource management decisions on the ecosystem. The Assimilative Capacity
Study and Source \X1ater Protection Planning initiatives, undertaken by the Conservation Authority in 2005, and will be incorporated into the watershed plan. Phase
3 involves the development of a restoration plan for significant natural heritage features and functions, and will begin in 2006. Phase 4 is the full implementation of
the comprehensive Lake Simcoe Watershed Plan(LSWP). The Basin-Wide Watershed Management Plan will involve all LSEMS partners and include an extensive
public participation process. An integral cOlnponent of the LSEMS Basin-\Vide L.ake Simcoe Watershed Plan is an integrated water ll1anagement strategy which
involves the development of a strategy dealing specifically "\vith stormwater and waste water management, along -with future water taking issues and allocation of both
surface and ground water.
Perfornlance Mea5'urements- The "State of the Lake Simcoe \Vatershed 2003" report is a benchmark for measuring future changes within the watershed and will
support the development of the LS\X1P. This report involved the collection and analysis of data to determine the location, area, significance, sensitivity, linkages and
functions of the existing natural environment within the watershed. It is expected that full updates will be planned every five years for this report. In 2006, the design,
revie\v and publication of a "State of the Resource" (SOR) report card \vill be con1pleted based on a series of technical indicators that were finalized in 2005.

located at \\!esley Brooks 1.'vicll1orial Conservation Area and erosion channel works located at the Peffetlaw Danl and \X!esley Brooks :tvfemorial Conservation Arcas,.
Capital Maintenance Water Control Structures (Other Provincial and Municipal)
During 2006, the Conservation Authority, in conjunction \\':ith its member municipalities, plans to undertake dredging of the Fairy Lake Dam reservoir and repaint
the cat walk at the Pefferlaw Dam. In 2005 / 2006, the Conservation Authority will complete Danl Safety Reviews for the aforementioned dams, as well as a Flood
lnnundation Study for Fairy Lake Dam.
Flood Forecasting/Flood Warning (General Levy, JvlNR Transfer Payment)
The goal of the LSRCA Flood Forecasting and Flood Warning Program is to assist in the prevention of loss of life and property damage due to flooding. In 1997,
LSRCA staff restructured the flood forecasting and warning systelll to provide a more consistent and reliable monitoring and forecasting system. In 1998, a G'TA
Flood Contingency Plan was finalized to ensure unifornuty in the way conservation authorities interact "v1th lllunicipalities. This plan is updated on an annual basis.
The Conservation Authority continues to work \"\I-1.th the GTA Flood Forecasting and \\larning group to look at ways to better deliver flood forecasting and warning
in the GTA area. Iu 2005, a web-based fax system was adopted and a portable flood warning computer purchased with the aim of providing 24/7 flood warning
capability.
Additionally, a long~term flood monitoring plan has been established looking at possible fuhlre requirements for expanded watershed area. Other business related to
the maintenance and operation of the flood monitoring and warning system includes:
continuing to further develop hydrometric expertise
reviewing elnergency response in cooperation with lllunicipalities and the Regions and update to provide required service
conducting annual maintenance and repair of equipment
investigating, \v1th other conservation authorities, a computer simulation model to assist with flood forecasting based on predicted rainfall and / or snowlllelt

,., York Region Flood Risk Areas Study (Special Capital Levy, MNR Transfer Payment) - The project is directed towards identifying areas of flooding where potential
loss oEhfe could occur and provide this information to the York Region Emergency Management Services to improve their response to a flood event. Areas -will be
determined based on existing and updated mapping.
,., Updating IDF Information (Special Capital Levy, MNR Transfer Payment) - The project is directed towards updating the Intensity, Duration and Frequency
infornution for storm events \\I1.thin the watershed. lYIunicipalities are being requested to contribute toward the study which will be completed by Environment Canada.
Infot111ation would be used in future flood forecasting.
Projects and Studies
a, Aquatic Management Plan (Special Capital Levy) - A number of federal, provincial and regional strategies exist to guide watershed managclnent and fisheries habitat
protection and rehabilitation. 'The Strategic Plan for Ontario Fisheries (SPOF II) was developed to set the context for the province and similarly the Maple District
Fisheries 1\fanagelnent Plan for part of the Lake Simcoe watershed. These plans, while important, are broad in scope and as such do not provide specific
recommendations with respect to the resource at a sub-watershed level. They were also completed approximately 20 years ago and require updates. The Beaver River
Aquatic 1\hnagenlent Plan will fill this gap by identifying fisheries issues and providing management concepts and approaches to protect and rehabilitate the fishery
of the Beaver River. This process will involve significant public and special interest group participation.
~.. Assimilative Capacity (Provincial Grant) - Over the past year significant work has been done to develop an assinlliative capacity model that is scientifically based,
to be used to predict the impacts of various land development scenarios on the lake, watercourses and river water quality, currently and for future planning cOllside,ratioll.
The Inodel will be ready for operational use in early 2006 to assist in scenario planning and analysis related to the Intergovermnental Action Plan (IGAP) for
development and growth in Sitncoe County.
,.' Oak Ridges Moraine Conserva1ion Plan Watershed Planning - Durham Region (Spec;al Capital Levy) - Prior to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan
(ORlvICP) the LSRCA undertook sub-watershed planning according to an established schedule which now has to be altered in respect of ORMCP time lines, The
ORIvICP included requirements that Oak Ridges J\..1oraine municipalities initiate sub-watershed plans for all watersheds that drain off the moraine within their respective
jurisdiction by the end of March 2003. These sub-watershed plans also require completion no later than 2007. The Durham Region sub-watersheds within tbe Lake
Simcoe Basin requiring sub-watershed plans that conform to the ORIvICP requirelnents are: the Beaver River, the Pefferlaw Brook and the Uxbridge Brook. Only the
Uxbridge Brook sub-watershed has had a sub-watershed plan completed in the past. This plan is somewhat outdated and also requires significant further study to ensure

compliance with the ORlvICP requirements. The sub~watershed plans to Ulcet OR,tv1CP requirements \\!ill include detailed studies and assessments, such as stream
morphology assessruent, nutrient models, surface and ground water rnodels, detailed water budgets, natural heritage rnapping and analysis, development of minirllum
ecosystcrll requirements, water quality monitoring updates and stormwater rnanagement updates. TIle level of detail and information required to complete a sub-
watershed plan (managcrucnt strategy) to meet these requirements are significant and the work will occur over the next three to four years. All ORMCP sub-watershed
planning activities "vill be co-ordinated in partnership with DurhamH..egion Staff.
a-. Groundwater Monitoring (Special Capital Levy and provincial grants) - 200S, various lullllicipal groundwater studies resulted in the construction of numerical
groundwater flow models for 111uch of the province including all ofY ork Region and portions of Durham. These models, which will be available for evaluating potential
impacts of future land use scenarios, will serve as excellent planning tools and resources for managing water resources. The baseflow and groundwater monitoring
programs that "vill continue at LSRCA, in cooperation with the regions, will help to provide the data necessary to update, calibrate and validate those models into the
future.
... Natural Heritage Mapping (Special Capital Levy) - In 1998, the Province of Ontario formally adopted the use of a new Natural IIcritage System known as the
Ecological Land Classification Systelu (ELCS) which would be used by terrestrial ecologists to provide planners and resource Inanagers with better information on which
to base land use decision. EI-,CS is based on the ecosystem principle that "everything is connected to evaything else" and assists in defining the linkages between
resources. This information is extremely important to the Conservation ,Authority and municipalities to ensure the protection of natural resources within the watershed.
ELC mapping for the entire Lake Simcoe basin has been completed and updates based on 2005 artho photos may occur in 2006, depending on the timely delivery of
the digital imagery. In 2006, the L5RCA will continue with sub~watershed and basin~wide analysis and modelling of the terrestrialiandscape to begin identifying areas
of special concern, further define environmentally sensitive areas, opportunities for protection and restoration and also the identification of key areas for land securement
potential. This analysis will also form the basis for the development of Conservation Authority Natural Heritage policies intended to assist in the protection and
conservation of terrestrial natural heritage \v1thin the Lake Simcoe basin. The analysis and modelling \\Till also support ongoing sub-watershed planning and the
completion of the LSEMS Basin-Wide Plan.
e-.. Open Lake Monitoring (Special Capital Levy and provincial grants) - Open Lake Monitoring includes the cost to continue monitoring water quality in Lake Simcoe
and efforts to develop a predictive water quality model to assist in the production of lllanagement scenarios and lake strategies. Specific activities involve data collection,

Review (EBR) website and the release of the Guidelines for Developing Schedules of Regulated areas, the Authority moved ahead "\v:ith the project to cOl'nplete new
hazard l11apping for the entire watershed. During 2004, the Conservation Authority worked on the orthophoto base mapping to build the new maps that delineate the
extent of the Authority's resource interest and to define the area regulated. In 2005, the Conservation Authority completed further phases to add information such as
floodlines, wetlands, steep slopes and significant valleys. The mapping, targeted for completion in 2006, will provide revised updated mapping for use by the
Conservation Authority and member municipalities. On completion, this t\vo year project will be sulnnitted to theIYfinister of Natural Resources for approval.

The Conservation Authority currently owns more than 1,000 hectares of land (approximately 2,500 acres) throughout the
Lake Simcoe watershed. These lands help form the core of the natural heritage land base throughout the watershed
and the Conservation Authority has a commitment to maintain these lands for environmental protection. Financial
support of our regions, municipalities, the province and private donations were combined to acquire these lands, The
traditional passive recreation opportunities on these lands include hiking, picnicking, cross country skiing and birding. A
demand for greater variety and more modern conveniences, as well as clean, safe and attractive sites places a
greater demand on the Conservation Authority to meet these changing needs, especially in more urban settings.

East Hol1and River Sub-watershed Management Plan (implementation) - In the year 2000, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority produced the
East Holland River Sub-watershed :Management Plan. In this dOCUll1cnt, it was recognized that to address the current health of the Sub-watershed and develop a
strategy for the future, "it was llnportant that a balance be found bet\vcen the environmental health of the Sub-watershed and future urban growth". The Managclnent
Plan outlined current levels of nahlral cover in the Sub-watershed, set targets for fuhlre levels, and identified priority areas for the implementation of restoration
projects. To that end, two guiding principles were adopted:
- 1'0 protect what is healthy, and
- To rehabilitate what is degraded.
T'he \\!atershcd Stcwardship Departmentv.rill continuc working towards the achievcment of those targets by implementing in-the-ground restoration projects in 2006,
with the focus being the Bogart Creek Furthermore, throughout 2006 staff will continue to develop partnerships with landowners, municipalities, and local
stakeholder groups across the sub-watershed to secure additional projects in 2007 and 2008.

The Conservation Authority currentiy owns more than 1,000 hectares of land (approximately 2,500 acres), retained
primarily in a natural state for flood control, erosion control, and natural resource management. Some of these lands
are used for more active outdoor recreation pursuits such as group camping, cycling and swimming. Conservation
lands have enhanced the open space and outdoor recreation opportunities offered by local municipalities throughout
the watershed. As the watershed continues to urbanize and expand, this role will become more critical.
Conservation Area Programming (General Levy, Conservation Authority Generated)
n, Scanlon Creek Conservation Area - The multi-purpose conservation area encompasses opportunities for passive recreation including hiking, walking, hinting and
picnicking. The area also provides opportunities for facility rental, cycling, group camping, special events and is h01ne to the Conservation Authority's outdoor
education facilities. In 2006, staff will continue to build on the workshops and surveys .with user groups that have been undertaken in the past in order to detertnine
the future vision for Scanlon Creek Conservation Area including the completion of a planning project led by students from Ryerson University.

Costs associated mth staff salaries and expenses to adiTllnister and deliver the Conservation Education program for the Conservation Authority. Expenditures also
include grounds maintenance, food services, building capital repairs and building maintenance and utilities.
Fundraising will remain an important component of the education pragranl. Educat.ion staff will work with the fundraising staff to raise funds necessary to enhance
educational programs, facilities and services.
'" Professor Smi1h Natural Resources EdueaIion Centre (Conservation Authority Generated) - The Conservation Authority's education programs are provided
through the Professor E. A. Smith Natural Resources Educational Centre (residential use) and the Nature Centre (day use) located at Scanlon Creek Conservation
Area. The programs are offered to youth and adult groups during the week and on weekends throughout the year. The educational staffs goal is to provide high calibre
education prograrns by interacting with clients. Using a "hands-on" approach to a variety of human and natural history programs ernphasizingwatershed conservation,
the educational staff provide a learning environment that promotes the development of life skills and attitudes.
Open 12 months a year, this residential centre accommodates up to 66 overnight visitors. Courses of study offered at the centre include a variety of conservation and
resource management themes via hands-on activities and interactive progranls. Over 4,000 youths accounting for over 8,600 user days visit the centre annually.
With the signing of a new ten-year agreenlentwith the York Boards of Education in 2000 for continued use of the Education Centre, S0111e measure of revenue stability
for operations has been achieved in the education department. The new agreement also provided for capital investment in the physical plant \Vith contributions to
a new educational centre capital reserve. This has provided a much needed face lift to the facility, while allowing the Conservation Authority to ensure the physical
plant does not deteriorate from lack of upgrades. In 2005, donnitory washroom upgrades were completed, donnitory bedrooms were painted and the water treattnent
system was upgraded with the addition of a liquid chloriue system.

The Educational Centre is beginning the process of an "energy audit". \Vhcn the recommendations of this audit arc followed, the facility \\Till become a high
perfonnance building from the perspective of cost-effective energy usage. This will reduce energy consumption, reduce expenditures and provide energy related
educational opportunities within the surrounding cOl1uTIunity.
Staff will continue to contact private schools from within and beyond our watershed boundaries to encourage bookings for our residential educational program.
\X/eckend use of the education ccntre continues as an ilnportant c01nponent of the overall use of the facility and provides the opportunity for the Conservation
Authority to deliver its envirOIuuental message to a wider range of users.
Youth groups .will continue to be important clients. An effort will be made to increase the number of weekends booked by youth groups and to diversify the types
of youth groups that rent the facilities, services and programs.
Through a greater marketing effort throughout 2005, using flyers, posters, DVD and personal contacts, the Educational Centre has been more fully booked. This
marketing will continue into 2006 and beyond, so that we can reach the point of having a waiting list for booking our programs.
~, Scanlon Creek Nature Centre (Conservation Authority Generated) - Providing day progralns for up to 60 visitors, the programs offered at this facility are slluilar
to those offered at the Professor E. A. Smith Natural Resources Educational Centre. Approximately 3,800 students take part in the programs offered at this facility
annually. In 2005, an extension to our 2001 agreement was arranged with the Simcoe County District School Board to provide education programs for their grade
4 and 7 students.
Use of the nature centre has great potential for increased use by a variety of groups. Rental of this facility comprnnents the use of the education centre and attracts
user groups from. a closer distance then the ones that arc the predominate clients of the educational centre, The Nature Centre has traditionally had two peaks of
activity, September through November and April through June. In 2006, we are adding a winter program of approximately I month in duration. This will provide
a link between the other two seasons, Both regular curriculum~based programs and electives, such as snowshoeing will be offered.

TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
REPORT
Dept. Report No. To: Prepared By:
BP 2006-024 Council Bruce Hoppe
Subject: Department:
Council Site Plan Agreement and Building and Planning
Removal of Holding Prefix -
C.ofW. John Douglas Switzer - Lot Date:
10, Plan 51 M-720 - 46 June 1, 2006
Motion # Highland Drive R,M. File #D11-030267
Application #2006-SPA-04
Date: Roll #: 010-002-03518
~ BACKGROUND:
II
The purpose of this report is to review a proposed site plan agreement on the above noted property.
The subject lands are within the Horseshoe Valley subdivision, and were one of several properties that the
Township applied a Holding symbol on the original Zoning By-law, the removal of which was contingent on the
entering into of a site plan agreement. The purpose of this was to ensure that construction of dwellings on
these properties which exhibit steep slopes and mature trees, was conducted in such a manner that slope
stability and preservation of as much vegetation as possible occurred.
The Zoning By-law was passed by Council on February 6, 2002, and a building permit was issued on July 11,
2002. Construction continued that year and a provisional occupancy was issued on November 7, 2002.
Recently, the owner has entered into an agreement of purchase and sale, and realized that a final occupancy
certificate was never issued. A recently conducted inspection by staff for the final occupancy and a
subsequent review of the file have indicated that the holding symbol was never removed as originally intended.
II BACKGROUND:
II
The 2002 building plans were circulated to the Township's consulting engineer and approved. Construction of
the dwelling was in accordance with the subdivision agreement, and the dwelling was constructed with the
majority of tree cover protected. The mechanics of the building permit issuance should have included the
entering into of a site plan agreement and removal of the holding prefix. Given that the property is intended to
be sold, it is recommended that the site plan be entered into at this time, which will be registered on title and
\
provide the new owners with the intention to protect the slope and tree cover on this property. As well the
holding prefix which applies on the zoning should be removed.
II RECOMMENDATION(S):
II
On the basis of the above, it is recommended:
1. THAT Report No. BP 2006-024 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Township of Oro-Medonte enter into a Site Plan Agreement with John Douglas Switzer
relating to construction of a dwelling at 46 Highland Drive, Lot 10, Plan 51 M-720, (formerly Oro,
now Township of Oro-Medonte).
3. THAT the Clerk prepares a By-law for Council's consideration to enter into a Site Plan Agreement
with John Douglas Switzer.
4. THAT the Clerk prepares a By-law for Council's consideration to remove the Holding Symbol from
Lot 10, Plan 51 M-720 (formerly Oro, now Township of Oro-Medonte).
5. AND THAT Mr. Switzer be notified of Council's decision.\

REPORT
Dept. Report No. To: Prepared By:
BP 2006-028 Council Bruce Hoppe
Subject: Department:
Council Zoning By-law Amendment Building & Planning
for Peter Partridge, Services
C.ofW. Concession 2, North Part of Date:
Lot 29 (Oro) June 1, 2006
Motion # 2032 Line 2 North R.M. File #: D1426157
Application # 2006-ZBA-03
Date: Roll #: 010-001-20000
II BACKGROUND:
1-
A statutory Public Meeting required under Section 34 of the Planning Act was held on May 29, 2006 to
review an application for rezoning submitted by Mr. Peter Partridge. The intent of this application is to
rezone an existing lot of record to permit the construction of a single family dwelling. The purpose of this
report is to review all comments to date and make recommendations to Council as to the disposition of
this application.
The subject application applies to lands legally described as Concession 2, North Part of Lot 29 in the
Township of Oro-Medonte (formerly Oro), A map showing the location of the subject site is shown on
Attachment 1. The subject parcel is currently zoned Rural Industrial (IR) in the Township's Zoning By-
law. The intent of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to rezone the entire parcel from the Rural
Industrial (IR) Zone to an appropriate residential category to permit the intended residential land use,
Based on survey information provided by the applicant, a pumphouse was previously located on the
subject site, which historically had assisted in providing water to the Edgar Centre, This pumphouse
was abandoned in 1964; however, the industrial zoning which applies to the subject property has
remained, The property in question is approximately 0.2 ha (0,5 acres) and a lot frontage of 45m
(147,58ft), The subject land contains a chain-link fenced area within which the pumphouse structure is
located. This structure is in poor condition which is evidenced by the fact that it has been abandoned
over 40 years.
\h-
II ANALYSIS: _
The subject property is designated Agricultural in the Official Plan. Section D2.2 of the Official Plan
states that in the Agricultural designation, "other permitted uses include single detached dwellings...".
As such, the application's intent of creating a residential use on the property is consistent with the intent
of the Official Plan.
The Planning Act requires that every decision shall be consistent with the 2005 Provincial Policy
Statement (PPS) and in that regard, permitted uses in prime agricultural areas are agricultural uses,
secondary uses and agriculture-related uses. There is no direction in the PPS on the development of
residential uses on existing lots of record. In this case, permitting the residential use on an existing lot of
record would be more consistent with the PPS than the current industrial zoning which could permit any
industrial use, including industrial uses which are non-agriculture related.
As noted above, the present zoning would allow for the establishment of an industrial use on this
property. It is staff's position that an industrial use that has no relation to agriculture in a prime
agricultural area is inconsistent with the PPS. Given this industrial use (pumphouse) has been
abandoned years ago, staff have no objection to a zoning which is more consistent with the rural
residential nature of this area.
No members of the public spoke at the public meeting nor have any written submissions been received.
In addition, there were no agency concerns in response to the circulation of this application.
In conclusion, the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would conform with the intent and policies of the
Oro-Medonte Official Plan and Provincial Policy Statement. On this basis, staff support the proposed
amendment.
I'
II RECOMMENDATION (S):
On the basis of the above, it is recommended that:
1. THAT Report No. BP 2006-028 be received and adopted;
2. THAT a Zoning By-law Amendment for Peter Partridge, that would rezone the lands described as
Concession 2, North Part of Lot 29, Township of Oro-Medonte (formerly Oro), on Schedule A12
of Zoning By-law 97-95, as amended from the Rural Industrial (IR) Zone to the Residential One
(R1) Zone be approved; and
3. THAT the Clerk bring forward the appropriate By-law for Council's consideration.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Ms, Pennycook:
Re: Request for Support Regarding the
Decision of the Ministry of Natural Resources
to No Longer Issue Approvals Under the
Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act
The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority's Board of Directors, at their meeting
held on Friday, April 28, 2006, passed the following resolution:

THAT the Authority object to this change in MNR policy
as it will result in additional costs being borne by the
Conservation Authority without any additional funding
being provided by the Province; and
FURTHER THAT watershed municipalities be requested
to support the Authority's resolution in this regard.
CARRIED
The LSRCA is respectfully requesting that your municipality send a letter supporting the
Authority's position in this regard to the Ministry of Natural Resources. A copy of Staff
Report No. 21-06-BOD pertaining to this matter is attached.
Yours truly,

FROM:

DATE:
April G, 200G
SUBJECT:
Proposed Policy and Procedural Directive by
the Ministry of Natural Resources to its Staff
with respect to the decision to not issue
approvals under the Lakes and Rivers
Improvement Act
RECOMMENDATION:
THA T Staff Report No. 21-0G-BOD be received
for information; and
FURTHER THAT the Authority object to this
change in MNR policy as it will result in
additional costs being borne by the
Conservation Authority without any
additional funding being provided by the
Province.
Purpose of Staff Report:
The purpose of this Staff Report is to present to the Board of Directors with a description of
the proposal by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) to eliminate specified Lakes and
Rivers ImprovementAct(LRIA) permitting requirements in areas under the jurisdiction of the
LSRCA and the impact this will have on Authority policies and finances,
Backqround:
The Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act (LRIA) was first passed in 1927 and brought
together six previous acts governing dam construction and other works on lakes and rivers,
The main purpose of the Act at that time was the protection of public interest in rivers, timber-
driving, timber slide companies, and waterpower privileges, When the LRIA was passed,
most dams were constructed for log driving, water supply, and waterpower purposes,
Between the period 1927 to 1950, very few dams were constructed for private recreation,

Many of the industrial mill dams were built prior to the 1940's. The legislation, technology, and
standards that existed did not adequately address the protection of persons and property and
did not recognize the need to protect the aquatic natural resources to the standards of today .
The LRIA has been amended a number of times, including the following:
1) In 1996 the province approved major amendments to the LRIA. Reference to timber
driving and the protection of interests of timber slide companies were repealed. The
purposes of the Act were strengthened through the recognition of Engineers and
Inspectors and their powers were defined. In addition, the enforcement and penalty
provisions were updated,
2) In 1998, section 15 of the LRIA was amended to allow the Minister to delegate
authority for reviews and approvals to external agencies,
3) In 2001, section 3 of the LRIA was amended to provide the Minister with additional
powers to make regulations respecting dam safety.
4) In 2000, section 23,1 of the LRIA was added and in 2002 itwas amended to establish
the statutory authority for the Minister to order the preparation of water management
plans and to establish a new process for the preparation and amendment of water
management plans.
5) In 2002, section 17 of the LRIA was amended to provide the Minister with the statutory
authority to issue specific orders to a dam owner where the location or the plans and
specifications have not been approved,
The current proposal, which is posted on the Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR) registry, can
be summarized as follows:
That LRIA permits will no longer be required forthe following activities for areas that are within
the jurisdiction of a Conservation Authority which has passed regulations under Section 28
of the Conservation Authorities Act.
construct a water crossing,
. channelize a riveror stream that may harmfully alter fish habitat or impede the
movement of fish in a river, stream or lake,
enclose or cover a length of river or stream,
install, a cable or pipeline into the bed of a river, stream or lake (ref. O. Reg.
454/96, s. 2).
This also means that MNR staff will not be involved with any enforcement duties pertaining to
illegal actions related to the above noted activities.

Relevance to Authority Policy:
The proposed MNR policy change will help to streamline the review process and avoid
duplication by eliminating the need for a proponent to obtain a LRIA permit. The activities that
would no longer need an LRIA permit would still require a Conservation Authority (CA) permit
with the exception of underground pipes in the bed of Lake Simcoe, Activities in Lake
Simcoe below the average annual highwater mark of219.15 metres above sea level do not
need a CA permit although these works would still require Fisheries Act review and approval.
A negative impact on the implementation of Authority policy is the complete lack of
enforcement support from MNR which will occuras a result of the MNR policy change. MNR
Conservation Officers have been extremely supportive overthe years in working with Authority
staff to resolve violation issues under their legislation which is stronger than that afforded
under the Conservation Authorities Act. The MNR has taken a number ofthe worst violators
to court and has been successful in obtaining convictions. This will no longer occur once the
new Policy is adopted and will place an even greater burden on the already stressed
resources of the Authority's existing enforcement activities.
Impact on Authority Finances:
The lack of enforcement and legal assistance will result in more enforcement costs and
especially more legal costs being borne directly by the Conservation Authority, The Authority
has not budgeted for this additional cost in 2006, As a result, it is recommended that the
Authority should not support the downloading of the LRIA responsibility unless it is adequately
compensated for the costs associated with program delivery by the province.
Summary & Recommendations:
1) The proposed MNR policy change will help to streamline the review process and avoid
duplication by eliminating the need for a proponent to obtain a LRIA permit Most of
the activities that would no longer need an LRIA permit would still require a CA permit
2) A negative impact on the implementation of Authority policy is the lack of enforcement
support from MNR which will occur as a result of the MNR policy change and the
additional legal cost that will result.

3) It is recommended that the Authority object to this change in policy as it will result in
additional costs being borne by the CA without any additional funding being provided
by the Province.
It is therefore recommended that Staff Report No, 21-06-BOD be received for
information; and
FURTHER THAT the Authority object to this change in MNR policy as it will result in
additional costs being borne by the Conservation Authority without any additional
funding being provided by the Province,

To the immediate attention of the Clerk and Municipal Waste Managers or Recycling
Coordinators
Your Support for the AMO Position on Household Hazardous
Waste/Household Special Waste (HHW/HSW) Position Paper
(TIME SENSITIVE REQUEST)
Issue: AMO is requesting your consideration and support of the HHWIHSW position paper
it has developed in anticipation of a designation of these materials by the Minister of the
Environment in the near future.
Background:
The Honourable Laurel Broten, Minister of the Environment, announced on April 20, 2006,
that she will be designating HHW/HSW in the near future. In anticipation of this
announcement, AMO, through its AMO/AMRC (Association of Municipalities of Ontario I
Association of Municipal Recycling Coordinators) Waste Management Task Force, has
developed a position paper on the management of this waste.
AMO believes that in order to meet its goals of designating HHW/HSW, the Province must
provide clear direction in respect of the following:
Recognition that HHW/HSW is a public health and safety issue and that municipalities
have a vested interest in an effective HHW/HSW management system as it transcends all
environmental boundaries due to its potential impacts on air, soil, municipal landfills,
water, storm drains, sanitary sewers and waste water treatment facilities;
Recognition that the principles of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and Design for
the Environment (DfE) place the responsibility for product residuals and packaging on
industry;
Industry funding to operate, maintain and expand, as needed, HHW/HSW collection
infrastructure and public education programs;
Utilize the CSA HHW standard and specify a short list of HSW that includes latex paints
and coatings, oil containers, oil filters, propylene glycol, alkaline batteries and
pharmaceuticals, and to further stage in residentially generated used motor oil as part of
the overall program;
u Recognize that the current municipal level of service offered across Ontario is varied and
that it cannot be reduced but must be improved to an acceptable standardized provincial
level of service to be determined in association with municipalities and industry;
.. ./2
2-
\
Require industry to fund and establish HHW/HSW related research that provides scientific
and verifiable data that can be used to further enhance the system for uniform program
delivery for all residents across Ontario;
Support industry in its efforts for reduction, reuse and reformulation initiatives via eco-
labelling, procurement, outreach and education programs;
Empower Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) by ensuring that it has sustainable funding, full
authority to develop an HHW/HSW program and the necessary policy and approval
support from the Minister of the Environment.
The AMO/AMRC Proposal for a Provincial Household Hazardous Waste and Special Waste
StrateGY has been approved in principle by the AMO Executive, and can be accessed on the
AMO website.
Action:
AMO asks its members to pass a resolution at Council conveying its support of the position
paper prepared by the AMO/AMRC Waste Management Task Force.
Please forward your municipality's resolution by June 9th, 2006, to:
