depth of Well 2 (actual depth is 46.8 m DWWP indicates 46 m); the UTM coordinates provided (Well
1 actual is E 621390 N 4928418 DWWP indicates E 6114420 N 4928429; PH actual is E 621403 N
4928448 DWWP indicates E 611420 N 4928429); the DWWP indicates that the Well 1 submersible
pump is capable of delivering 2.27 L/s when flow records indicate that the actual capacity is 2.68 L/s;
and, the DWWP indicates that data recorders are incorporated with the chemical metering pumps
and the turbidity analyser when there is no such equipment.
2) 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, system pressures

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.

Best Practice Issues and Recommendations
Issues:
1) The DWWP inaccuracies included; the depth of Well 2 (actual depth is 79.3 m DWWP indicates 91.1 m);
the DWJVP indicates that Well 2 is contained "within a concrete maintenance structure" but this . structure
was removed in 2004; the DWWP indicates that there is 8131 m of installed watermain when there is
approximately 8793 m now installed; and, the DWWP indicates that both the free chlorine residual analyser
and the turbidity analyser are "supplied with continuous samples, in the interim, from the well pump
common discharge header" when both analysers are supplied with treated water from the end of the
contact main.
2) The communications tower at the pumphouse had metal sheathing installed to prevent climbing but
only on two of three sides.
3) 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, low, high and overflow water tower level alarms, tower level set .
Points for pump starts and stops, chemical pump failures, well pump lock out interlocks and flows into and
through the works.
4) There were a number of inaccuracies found in the Operations Manuals.
5) The raw water pressure switch in the PH contains mercury.
Recommendations:
1) The inaccurate equipment descriptions (as above) in the DWWP should be corrected at the
Municipality's earliest convenience.
2) The Operating Authority should consider installing metal sheathing on the remaining side of the
communications tower at the pumphouse to prevent climbing.
3) 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, low, high and overflow water tower level alarms, tower level set points for pump
starts and stops, chemical pump failures, well pump lock out interlocks and flows into and through the

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.

4) The Operations and Maintenance Manuals should be reviewed by municipal staff and any inaccuracies
should be corrected as soon as possible.
5) A CT calculation should be completed to determine the minimum required free chlorine residual for a
situation where only the well pumps and the contact main are used for treatment.
6) The equipment descriptions and information in the DWWP and MDWL should be corrected at the
Municipality's earliest convenience.

Best Practice Issues and Recommendations
Issues:
1) 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.
2) There were a number of inaccuracies found in the Operations Manuals.
3) There was no drip pan under the diesel generator and fuel lines within the PH. 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.

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 Municipalitys earliest convenience.

Section 1
List Requirements of the Act, the Regulations, the systems 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 (AWQl 113866) 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) 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.
2) An operational procedure was not provided in the Operations and Maintenance Manuals for operating the
system using the original configuration where the reservoir and HLP's are bypassed and only the well
pumps and the contact main are used for treatment.
3) 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.
4) There were a number of inaccuracies found in the Operations Manuals.
Recommendation:
1) The equipment descriptions and information in the DWWP and MDWL should be corrected at the
Municipality's earliest convenience.
2) A procedure describing the process of enabling, the equipment required to enable, and the required
treatment criteria necessary (including minimum required free chlorine residuals) for the DWS to operate on
pressure from the well pumps and with provision of contact time from the contact main without the reservoir
or high lift pumps should be created and included in the Operations Manuals..
3) 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.
4) The Operations and Maintenance Manuals should be reviewed by municipal staff and any inaccuracies
should be corrected as soon as possible.

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 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.
2) There were a number of inaccuracies found in the Operations Manuals.
3) There were a number of inaccuracies in the DWWP equipment descriptions including: the depth of Well
1 (actual depth is 82.4 m DWWP indicates 76.2 m); the depth of Well 2 (actual depth is 78.1 m DWWP
indicates 80.47 m); and, the casing size of Well 2 is 210 mm in the DWWP when the WWR indicates it is a
150 mm casing.
4) Down-hole inspections of Wells 1 and 2 have not been completed. Well 1 could not provide sufficient
flows to meet demands and for this reason, Well 2 could not be taken out service. With the addition of Well
3, demand can be met. The Municipality has indicated that they intend to conduct down-hole inspections of
all supply wells every ten years.
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.

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.

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

effectiveness of SPSC, more meetings could be more effective in achieving progress
(versus monthly SPSC meetings)
Suggestion that the sub-committees may function better with an individual
approach, no need to try and apply one model
SPSC would benefit from working on development of a platform on how to connect
local organizations and municipalities with funding
Agreed that there is value in reporting and drawing trends/statistics from the data
that can be applied within the municipality
Challenges have been experienced by SSS in gathering the corresponding data from
the municipalities
Request was made by SSS on how this process (reporting) could be facilitated
hering to a
formal reporting template
Stated that frequency of reporting to SPSC should parallel the reporting of the
organization
Multiple options for direction of the committee were presented, including:
Committee Role
-Maintain existing structure and function;
-Apply a strategic approach to the role of the SPSC;
-SPSC will select priorities for SSS; and
-SPSC members may be requested to play a larger role in reporting
to SSS in response to reducing meeting frequency.
Meetings
-Quarterly sessions for the SPSC;
-Environmental Pillar Sub-Committee has recommended 2 months
on, then 1 month off;

Discussion: Update provided on County of Simcoe Long Term Affordable Housing Strategy, and
the objections/concerns presented by Huronia-area Mayors questioning the criteria used for
identifying priority areas. Unique challenges within Huronia include Central North Correctional
Facility (CNCC), as well as Waypoint Centre for Mental Health. A main criterion of the strategy
was determined to be growth-related. Strategy will be re-evaluated to consider local criteria,
such as CNCC and Waypoint. More information on the County of Simcoe Long Term Affordable
Housing Strategy
Town of Midland will be proceeding with their Energy Conservation and Demand Management
Plan (CDM), as required by Ontario Regulation 397/11. The regulation came into force January 1,
2012 requiring municipalities and public agencies to report their annual energy use and GHG
emissions to the Ministry of Energy by July 1, 2013. In addition, municipalities and public
agencies will need to develop five-year (CDM) plans by July 1, 2014.
Information was shared about Bill 91, the Waste Reduction Act. AMO is asking for support on a
social media campaign, asking the public and MPPs to support Bill 91 which is stalled in the
legislature after second reading.
Action Item: Request was presented that SSS distribute further information as provided by
Mayor Millar to the larger committee (completed December 5th). Further suggestions/
recommendations about additional support the committee or SSS can offer to be considered on
an on-going basis.

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.

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.
