Act & Regulations Duration Action Taken Status There were no non-compliances with respect to the SDWA or supporting regulations identified during this reporting period. System Municipal Drinking Water License and Drinking Water Works Permit There were no non-compliances with respect to the Municipal Drinking Water License and Drinking Water Works Permit identified during this reporting period. Orders There were no provincial orders issued during this reporting period. Best Practice Issues and Recommendations Issues: A) The Operations and Maintenance Manuals did not contain a listing of active alarms, operational targets and alarm set points, which should ensure effective disinfection of the produced water including high and minimum low free chlorine residuals, contact chamber / reservoir depth HLP lock out level, chemical pump failures, flows into and through the works and high and low contact chamber / reservoir depths. B) There were a number of inaccuracies found in the Operations Manuals. C) The communications tower had metal sheathing installed on two of the three sides. D) No flows for Well 1 were recorded on any of the monthly summaries or on the Annual Summary report because the automated polling system is programmed to only record flows of one full m3 and flows from this well were less than one m3 on any given day. The daily log sheets prepared by the operators showed these flows. A total flow of 5 m3 was recorded from Well 1 during the inspection period. Recommendation: A) The Municipality should consider installing a summary of active alarms, operational targets and alarm set points, which should ensure effective disinfection of the produced water, including high and minimum low free chlorine residuals, contact chamber / reservoir depth HLP lock out level, chemical pump failures, flows into and through the works and high and low contact chamber / reservoir depths in the Operations and Maintenance Manuals. B) The Operations and Maintenance Manuals should be reviewed by municipal staff and any inaccuracies should be corrected as soon as possible. C) The Municipality should consider installing metal sheathing on the remaining side of the communications tower at the PH to prevent climbing. D) The Municipality should consider reprogramming the SCADA polling and recording process to include partial m3 for flows so all flows are more accurately captured.

Action Taken – Submitted form to Act & Regulations Duration Status notify the Director There was one non-compliance item (AWOl 113865) during the last inspection period for late provision of Schedule C and the corresponding Director Notification documentation for system modifications/upgrades. Specifically, the Municipality provided late verbal notifications to the SMDHU as prescribed by Section 16-6 of Schedule 16 or O. Reg. 170/03. System Municipal Drinking Water License and Drinking Water Works Permit There were no non-compliances with respect to the Municipal Drinking Water License and Drinking Water Works Permit identified during this reporting period. Orders There were no provincial orders issued during this reporting period. Best Practice Issues and Recommendations Issues: 1) No distribution microbiological samples have been collected from the lower pressure zone as there is no sample location appropriate to the Municipality within that main section. 2) The HLP's can discharge water through the contact main and into the distribution piping at a rate of 12.4 LIs(1088.64 m3/day). It would appear that, unless the HLP's and reservoir are taken out of service, that the maximum flow rates into the treatment works are now 12.4 Us. A Schedule C has been issued for the DWWP and guidance for updating the, DWWP and.MDWL indicates that corresponding changes to the MDWL would be completed by the Environmental Assessment and Approvals Branch. There have been no new issues of the MDWL during the inspection period. 3) The Operations and Maintenance Manuals did not contain a summary of active alarms, operational targets and alarm set points which should ensure effective disinfection of the produced water including high and minimum low free chlorine residuals, chemical pump failures. Reservoir alarm set points and operating levels. System pressures and flows into and through the works have not been included in the manuals. 4) There were a number of inaccuracies found in the Operations Manuals. 5) A CT calculation was not provided for the original configuration where the reservoir and HLP's are bypassed and only the well pumps and the contact main are used for treatment. 6) Some of the equipment descriptions and information provided in the DWWP and MDWL were inaccurate. See page 12 of the report for a full accounting. 7) There was no wiring which would allow for quick, non-disruptive failure testing of the free chlorine residual analyser installed at the PH (as installed in all of their other facilities). Recommendations: 1) The Municipality should consider installing a dedicated sample station within the lower pressure zone. 2) The Municipality should ensure that appropriate changes to the Table 2 maximum flow rates provided in the system MDWL are completed as soon as possible (if necessary). 3) The Municipality should consider including a summary of active alarms. Operational targets and alarm set points which should ensure effective disinfection of the produced water including high and minimum low free chlorine residuals, chemical pump failures, reservoir alarm set points and operating levels, system pressures and flows into and through the works in the Operations and Maintenance Manuals.

A new double walled tank was present but not in use and Staff advised that the generator will be replaced with a gas fired unit at some point in the future. 4) Fire pump flows by-pass the treated water distribution water flow meter and the treated water free chlorine residual analyser. Recording all volumes of water discharged to the distribution system is required by the MDWL. Continuous free chlorine residual monitoring must be provided. There were no fire pumps flows recorded or observed during the inspection period. There were no indicators if the fire pump operates except for observation of precipitous reservoir level drops on trending and/or potentially pressure drops when the HLP's lock out. 5) Some of the equipment descriptions provided in the DWWP were inaccurate. See pages 12 and 13 of this report for a full accounting. Recommendation: 1) The Municipality should consider installing a summary of active alarms, operational targets and alarm set points, which should ensure effective disinfection of the produced water, including high and minimum low free chlorine residuals, chemical pump failures, reservoir alarm set points and operating levels, system pressures and flows into and through the works in the Operations and Maintenance Manuals. 2) The Operations and Maintenance Manuals should be reviewed by municipal staff and any inaccuracies should be corrected as soon as possible. Page 2 of 3 Page 96 of 138 10.c) Report No. TES2014-05, Jerry Ball, Director of Transpo... Robincrest – 2013 Municipal Summary Report 3) The Municipality should consider installing secondary containment for the entire diesel generator installation. 4) Volumes of water discharged to the distribution system by the fire pump must be calculated and recorded in the flow records for the Robincrest PH as required by the MDWL. With no continuous monitoring available, staff must make records of treated water free chlorine residuals immediately before and immediately after fire flows are observed. As an alternative to a dedicated flow meter, an hours of operation meter on the fire pump would aid in tracking length and time of operation of this pump so distributed volumes could be calculated more accurately. An alarm for fire pump operation would provide an indication of start and end times. 5) The equipment descriptions in the DWWP should be corrected at the Municipality’s earliest convenience.

Recommendations: 1) The Municipality should consider installing a summary of active alarms, operational targets and alarm set points, which should ensure effective disinfection of the produced water, including high and minimum low free chlorine residuals at all of the PH's, low and high contact chamber and reservoir level alarms, reservoir level set points for pump starts and stops, chemical pump failures, well pump and/or high lift pump lock out interlocks and flows into and through the works in the Operations and Maintenance Manuals. 2) The Operations and Maintenance Manuals should be reviewed by municipal staff and any inaccuracies should be corrected as soon as possible.

Warminster – 2013 Municipal Summary Report Schedule 22; Section 22-2 (2) Section 1 List Requirements of the Act, the Regulations, the system’s approval and any order the system failed to meet (non-compliances) at any time during this reporting period, the duration of each non-compliance and describe the action taken to correct each non-compliance listed in this section. Act & Regulations Duration Action Taken Status There was one non-compliance item (AWOl 114596) during the last inspection period for late provision of Schedule C and the corresponding Director Notification documentation for system modifications/upgrades. Specifically, the Municipality provided late verbal notifications to the SMDHU as prescribed by Section 16-6 of Schedule 16 or O. Reg. 170/03. System Municipal Drinking Water License and Drinking Water Works Permit There were no non-compliances with respect to the Municipal Drinking Water License and Drinking Water Works Permit identified during this reporting period. Orders There were no provincial orders issued during this reporting period. Best Practice Issues and Recommendations Issues: 1) The Operations and Maintenance Manuals did not contain a listing of active alarms, operational targets and alarm set points, which should ensure effective disinfection of the produced water including high and minimum low free chlorine residuals, chemical pump failures, reservoir alarm set points and operating levels, system pressures and flows into and through the works have not been included in the manuals. 2) There were a number of inaccuracies found in the Operations Manuals. 3) There was no flow meter on the Well 1 overflow. Technically, water flows discharged from this well to the ground during artesian conditions are considered takings against the PTTW and should be accounted for. 4) A plastic cased and capped monitoring well (WWR 5708758) is located on the PH property. It is marked by a metal t-bar but is not protected in any other way. Water was previously observed to be emerging from the ground surrounding this well and running away to the south. 5) Some of the equipment descriptions provided in the DWWP were inaccurate. The free chlorine residual analyser described on the contact main discharge is likely not required and will not be installed. 6) Average distributed flows were typically half of the average raw/treated flows being directed to the reservoirs. Daily distributed flows should be roughly equal to daily raw flows since there are no users supplied from the contact main and the well pumps are controlled by reservoir level. If either flow was unequal, the reservoirs would run dry or they would be overflowing constantly or it would be an indication of a large leak. There was no evidence of a large continual leak and the reservoirs were neither draining nor overflowing. An investigation into this discrepancy revealed that the SCADA recorded raw flows appeared to be approximately double the manually recorded raw flows. The SCADA and manually recorded distributed flows were quite similar. Recommendations: 1) The Municipality should consider installing a summary of active alarms, operational targets and alarm set points, which should ensure effective disinfection of the produced water including high and minimum low free chlorine residuals, chemical pump failures, reservoir alarm set points and operating levels, system pressures and flows into and through the works in the Operations and Maintenance Manuals.

Warminster – 2013 Municipal Summary Report 2) The Operations and Maintenance Manuals should be reviewed by municipal staff and any inaccuracies should be corrected as soon as possible. 3) The Municipality should consider installing a flow meter on the overflow from Well 1 to capture all takings as required by the PTTW. 4) If the Municipality does not intend to use monitoring well 5708758 for any purpose, it should either be abandoned in accordance with Reg. 903 or maintained in such a way that it does not pose a contamination threat to the aquifer into which it is dnlled (Le. determine where the water is leaking from and seal it, and protect the installation in some fashion from vandalism and/or vehicular traffic). 5) The equipment descriptions in the DWWP should be corrected at the Municipality's earliest convenience. 6) The Municipality must ensure that flow readings are accurately recorded by the SCADA system Section 2 In order to assist the owner in assessing the capability of the system to meet existing and planned uses of the system, The Township of Oro-Medonte monitors and compiles volume and flow rates. At this time, the data software for the 2013 compilation is being enhanced. As such, the flow and volume rates will be available and provided at a later date.

Item For: Sustainable Severn Sound Steering Committee (SPSC) Item No: 40-03 Meeting Date: Thursday, February 6, 2014 Subject: Proposed Municipal Invasive Species Workshop, June 2014 Recommendation That the information contained within this document regarding a proposed workshop to support strategic direction EN.S.5, Protect native species and habitat from invasive plants, animals, and pests, be received for information and committee review. Background Invasive species are a growing threat to biodiversity in Ontario. Invasive species disrupt food webs, degrade habitat, introduce parasites and disease, and can lead to species at risk. Fishing, hunting, forestry, tourism and agriculture can all be affected by invasive species. Every year invasive plants cost the agriculture and forest industries in Canada about $7.3 billion (MNR, 2012). In the Great Lakes, loss and damage connected with zebra mussels has cost between $3 billion and $7.5 billion (MNR, 2012). Invasive species such as giant Hogweed and water Chestnut can be harmful to human health, and may also result in reduced tourism and recreation opportunities. As demonstrated, management costs associated with invasive species can be significant. The proactive approach involves early detection, informed management, and on-going education.

ISR NVASIVE PECIES ESOURCES The invasive species resources below may be of interest to you. The Ontario Invasive Plant Council (OIPC) website is a good source of information and resources on invasive plants. The OIPC has been busy developing Control Information and Best Management Practice documents, including: Invasive Honeysuckles (Lonicera spp.) Wild Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) White Sweet Clover (Melilotus albus) European Black Alder (Alnus glutinosa) Common Buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) Dog-strangling Vine (Cynanchum \[syn. Vincetoxicum\]rossicum) Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata) Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) Page 136 of 138 13.a) Correspondence dated March 18, 2014 Severn Sound Envir... Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens glandifulera) Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica) Phragmites/Common Reed (Phragmites australis subsp. australis) Reed Canary Grass (Phalaris arundinacea subsp. arundinacea) The OIPC has also developed a Clean Equipment Protocol for use by land managers (e.g., trail maintenance), roads/utilities crews, etc. It contains information on when to clean equipment, where to clean, and how to clean, including inspection and cleaning diagrams, and checklists. The OIPC is collaborating with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources on a webinar series. The series runs every Wednesday from March 19 to April 30, and will include a presentation, and an opportunity for participants to ask questions of the expert panelists. March 19 - Common Buckthorn March 26 - Dog-strangling Vine April 2 - Garlic Mustard April 9 - Japanese Knotweed April 16 - Phragmites April 23 - Reed Canary Grass April 30 - Giant Hogweed For more information on the webinars, view the announcement or email Rachel Gagnon, Coordinator at OIPC. The State of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has developed a Phragmites Treatment/Management Prioritization Tool and accompanying Phragmites Treatment/Management Prioritization Tool FAQ and User Guide. Although the tool was developed specifically for Michigan, it may help when considering how to prioritize local areas for management, based on ecological, human values, and feasibility of treatment. The Great Lakes Phragmites Collaborative includes resources on Phragmites, and has a webinar series.
