Part 1 — The Preamble
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Official Plan Amendment is to amend the permitted uses
within the Horseshoe Valley — Resort Facility designation within the Township of
Oro-Medonte Official Plan in order to permit the proposed development and to
amend Schedule D — Horseshoe Valley in the Township of Oro-Medonte Official
Plan.
The intent of the Official Plan Amendment is to insert additional permitted uses
within Section C14.3.5 — Horseshoe Valley Resort Facility designation as they
specifically apply to the subject site in order to permit the development of a
commercial plaza with a variety of commercial uses.
1.2 Location
The lands affected by this Amendment are legally described as Part of Lot 1,
Concession 5 (Geographic Township of Oro), Township of Oro-Medonte, County
of Simcoe.
1.3 Basis
The purpose of this Official Plan Amendment is to permit a variety of commercial
uses on the subject.
As a broad basis, the purpose of the Official Plan is to state the long term vision
for the Township, assist Council in determining future policies and actions in all
matters relating to the development of the Township, set out goals and objectives
which will contribute to the achievement of the vision and municipal structure,
encourage development in appropriate areas of the Township and with an
appropriate mix of development types, recognize the importance of agricultural
lands in the Township, provide for the preservation of the natural environment
and to ensure that growth and development occurs in a manner that minimizes
any impact on public health and safety concerns, and the protection of
watersheds in the Township.
The subject lands are currently designated Horseshoe Valley — Resort Facility.
The designation of the land recognizes the site's proximity and previous ties to
Horseshoe Valley Resort despite being somewhat isolated from the Resort area.
A limited range of land uses are permitted in this current designation which do
not facilitate the establishment of a complete community in a predominately
residential area in need of more commercial goods and services. Additional
7
Page 13 of 122
5.b) By -Law No. 2018-089: A By-law to Adopt An Amendment to the Official...
commercial land uses are needed in the community to support the needs of
residents. Developing the lands with only the Resort Facility permitted uses
would not be logical given the locational relationship to the resort and lack of
commercial uses in the immediate area. A wider range of commercial uses
permitted on the lands will contribute to the establishment of a complete
community within the settlement area.
The proposed development would be serviced by municipal water services and
private on-site septic system. The septic system is an interim solution to
providing sewer services to the property prior to municipal sewer services being
available. Once municipal sewer services are available, the lands will be required
to utilize them and the septic system will be decommissioned.
An Official Plan Amendment has been submitted to designate the lands to
Horseshoe Valley — Resort Facility Exception which proposes to permit additional
land uses on the site, in addition to the uses currently permitted by the existing
designation. Additional uses are proposed that include Retail Stores, Personal
Service Shops, Business Offices, Medical Clinics, Financial Service
Establishments and Fruit and Vegetable Markets.
The Amendment will permit a greater range and variety of commercial uses on
the lands to facilitate the development of a commercial plaza that will be an asset
to the community. The Official Plan Amendment reflects the change in permitted
uses proposed site -specifically to the Horseshoe Valley — Resort Facility
designation as it would apply to the subject lands.
The proposed development will introduce additional goods and services to the
immediate community and Township to serve the needs of residents and tourists.
The commercial uses established will provide new business opportunities within
the Township. The Official Plan Amendment will facilitate the lands being
developed for commercial uses to foster the Township's business climate,
facilitate additional and diversified commercial opportunities, and ensure a limited
number of employment opportunities in the neighbourhood, all of which will
contribute toward the creation of a more complete community in this Settlement
Area.

individual septic bed lands may be developed or re -developed for other uses
permitted in the Resort Facility designation, subject to the owner obtaining all
required Planning Act approvals and other agency permissions.
c) Development of the subject lands shall be subject to site plan control approval

Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P 13, and through application(s) for Site Plan Control
Approval pursuant to Section 41 of the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P 13.

Re: Scoped Environmental Impact Study for a Property Located at Lot 1,
Concession 5 (Roll No. 4346-010-002-30000), Township of Oro-Medonte,
County of Simcoe
Dear Mrs. Gingras:
As requested, Azimuth Environmental Consulting, Inc. (Azimuth) has prepared the
following Scoped Environmental Impact Study to evaluate proposed future development
of a `Neighborhood Plaza' on a property located at Lot 1, Concession 5 in the Township
of Oro-Medonte. It is our understanding that this study is required by the Township of
Oro-Medonte and the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority to evaluate the
potential impacts of development on mapped natural heritage features, and to assess
conformity with applicable legislation and/or policy.
The following report outlines Azimuth's study process, describes natural heritage
features identified on the property, and provides an assessment of potential impacts of
proposed development on confirmed features. The results of the study indicate that
proposed development will avoid adverse impacts to any potential significant natural
heritage features and associated functions. Based on our understanding of the proposed
works, the proposed development would be considered consistent with the policies set
out in current applicable municipal and provincial plans, and compliant with the
regulations set out within Ontario's Endangered Species Act, 2007.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Azimuth Environmental Consulting, Inc. (Azimuth) was retained by the owners of the
property to prepare a scoped Environmental Impact Study (EIS). The property location is
outlined in Figure 1. The purpose of this report is to document the natural heritage
features of the property and provide an evaluation of the potential natural heritage
impacts associated with the proposed development. From this, we provide an assessment
of the conformity of proposed activities with applicable legislation and/or policy.
2.0 PLANNING CONTEXT
2.1 Provincial Planning Policy
The Planning Act requires that planning decisions shall be consistent with the Provincial
Policy Statement, 2014 (PPS). According to the Section 2.1.4 of the PPS, development
and site alteration shall not be permitted in:
• Significant wetlands in Ecoregions 5E, 6E and 7E; and
Significant coastal wetlands.
Similarly, Section 2.1.5 of the PPS states that unless it has been demonstrated that there
will be no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions,
development and site alteration shall not be permitted within:
• Significant woodlands in Ecoregions 6E and 7E;
• Significant valleylands in Ecoregions 6E and 7E;
• Significant wildlife habitat;
• Significant areas of natural and scientific interest; and
• Coastal wetlands in Ecoregions 5E, 6E and 7E that are not subject to policy
2.1.4(b)
Section 2.1.6 of the PPS states that development and site alteration is not permitted in
fish habitat except in accordance with federal and provincial requirements.
Section 2.1.7 of the PPS states that development and site alteration shall not be permitted
in habitat of endangered (END) and threatened (THR) species, except in accordance with
provincial and federal requirements.
Furthermore, under Section 2.1.8 of the PPS, no development and site alteration will be
permitted on lands adjacent to natural heritage features and areas defined above unless
the ecological function of the adjacent lands has been evaluated and it has been

5.b) By -Law No. 2018-089: A By-law to Adopt An Amendment to the Official...
demonstrated there will be no negative impacts on the natural features and ecological
functions.
It is ultimately the responsibility of the Province and/or Municipality to designate areas
identified within Section 2.1.4 and 2.1.5 of the PPS as significant. The Natural Heritage
Reference Manual (OMNR, 2010) and Ecoregion 6E Significant Wildlife Habitat
Criterion Schedule (MNRF, 2015a) were used to identify candidate features considered
applicable to the property and adjacent lands.
2.2 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe [(2017) the `Growth Plan'] dictates
where development and site alteration is permitted to occur within the `Greater Golden
Horseshoe', a planning area which includes the County of Simcoe, and thus, includes the
property. As per mapping produced by the Natural Heritage Information Center [(NHIC)
MNRF 2018), the property is contained within the Horseshoe Valley settlement area and
not within an area designated by the province as `Natural Heritage System'
(Appendix A). Section 4.2.2(6) of the Growth Plan states that: "beyond the Natural
Heritage System, including within settlement areas, the municipality:
a. will continue to protect any other natural heritage features in a manner that is
consistent with the PPS; and
b. may continue to protect any other natural heritage system or identify new systems
in a manner that is consistent with the PPS".
2.3 Township of Oro-Medonte
As per Schedule A of the Town OP (Appendix B), the property is contained within a
settlement area. Due to this settlement area designation, the property is not subject to
natural heritage designations such as `Environmental Protection' or `Core/Corridor Area',
as depicted in Schedule B of the Town OP (Appendix B). Schedule D of the Town OP
(Appendix B) specifically outlines land use designations within the settlement area
known as the `Horseshoe Valley Development Node'. As per Schedule D, the property is
zoned as `Resort Facility'. Regarding the Resort Facility designation, Section C14.3.5
states that:
Small scale resort -related facilities are permitted on lands designated Horseshoe
Valley Resort Facility as shown on Schedule D. Permitted uses include alpine and
nordic ski areas, driving ranges, stables, dining and entertainment lounges,
restaurants or snack bars, physical fitness and sports centres, pro shops and tack
shops, administrative offices and workshops and repair garages for resort equipment.
A small-scale training conference centre may be permitted on lands located at the
southwest corner of the 4th Line and Horseshoe Valley Road. Conditions for

5.b) By -Law No. 2018-089: A By-law to Adopt An Amendment to the Official...
approval of development within the Horseshoe Valley Resort Facility designation are
in Section C14.3.8.
2.4 Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority
Lands regulated by the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) are subject
to Ontario Regulation (O. Reg.) 172/06. The property is not located within the regulated
area of the NVCA (Appendix C), and thus, an NVCA work permit is not required prior to
any development and/or site alteration.
2.5 Endangered Species Act
Ontario's Endangered Species Act, 2007 provides regulatory protection to END and THR
species, prohibiting harassment, harm and/or killing of individuals and destruction of
their habitats. Habitat is broadly characterized within the ESA as the area prescribed by a
regulation as the habitat of the species or an area on which the species depends, directly
or indirectly, to carry on its life processes including reproduction, rearing of young,
hibernation, migration or feeding.
The various schedules of the ESA identify SAR in Ontario. Species identified include
those listed as Extirpated (EXP), END, THR and species of Special Concern (SC). Only
species listed as END and THR receive protection from harm and destruction to habitat
on which they depend.
Species listed under O. Reg. 230/08 of the ESA are addressed in this report.
3.0 STUDY APPROACH
3.1 Scope of Work
Azimuth prepared a scope of work expected to satisfy agency requirements based on a
preliminary evaluation of natural heritage features located on the property, and the scope
of proposed development. This `Terms of Reference' was submitted to NVCA, and
approved by NVCA planning staff (Appendix D). Site visits were conducted on April
28th and May 9th by Azimuth staff.
3.2 Study Area
The proposed development is located in Ecoregion 6E. For the purpose of this report, the
study area includes the single assessment parcel on which development is being proposed
(Figures 1-3), and is hereafter referred to as the `property'.

• Dobbyn, J. (1994) — Atlas of the Mammals of Ontario; and
• Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan [2007 (see Appendix B for applicable
schedules)].
3.4 Vegetation Community Mapping and Surveys
The Ecological Land Classification for Southern Ontario (ELC; Lee et al., 1998) was
used to classify vegetation community types within the property. Prior to undertaking
field studies, Azimuth completed a preliminary delineation and classification of
vegetation communities using recent air photo imagery for the property. A survey was
conducted on May 9th, 2018 (M. Francis, Azimuth) to refine vegetation communities
based on the conditions present on the property.
A single vascular plant survey has been completed for all vegetation community types on
the property (May 9th, 2017; M. Francis, Azimuth). This assessment was focused on
detecting any provincially designated vascular plant species, notably SAR as identified in
the schedules of O. Reg. 230/08.
3.5 Wildlife Surveys
3.5.1 General
A list of mammals potentially utilizing the property was compiled from direct
observations and interpretations of signs of mammalian activity (i.e., tracks, scats,
evidence of feeding). Candidate Significant Wildlife Habitat (SWH) functions were
evaluated according to provincial criteria outlined in the Ecoregion 6E Criterion Schedule
(MNRF, 2015a).
3.5.2 Birds
Only incidental bird observations were recorded for the property, and no formal breeding
bird surveys were conducted. For SAR birds with potential to occur on the property,
applicable areas of potential habitat are considered `candidate habitat' for the purpose of
AZIMUTH ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING, INC.
Page 28 of 122

5.b) By -Law No. 2018-089: A By-law to Adopt An Amendment to the Official...
this report. Given that the presence of these species was not ruled out, impacts of the
proposed development are considered based on the assumption that such species could be
found where suitable habitat exists.
3.6 Species at Risk
Azimuth conducted a SAR screening for the property, where species with potential to
occur in the overall planning area were assessed for their potential to occur on the
property. This screening focused on potential habitat features present on the property,
based primarily on property and landscape -level patterns of vegetation communities.
Background information was obtained through the NHIC database, which records historic
and/or recent documented occurrences of SAR to the accuracy of 1 km2. Targeted SAR
surveys were not expected to be required based on the vegetation communities present on
the property and were, thus, not conducted as a component of this study.
4.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
4.1 Land Use
4.1.1 On-site Land Use
The property is currently undeveloped and has no existing use (Figure 2).
4.1.2 Adjacent Land Use
Adjacent lands are comprised of a mix of land uses. Active roadways exist directly to the
north (Horseshoe Valley Rd.) and east (4th Line) of the property. Woodlot communities
are present directly to the south and west of the property.
4.2 Terrestrial Resources
4.2.1 Vegetation
Table 1 contains a list of vascular plants documented on the property to date, and Table 2
contains the names and general descriptions of all vegetation communities identified on
the property. Figure 2 depicts the locations and boundaries of each of these described
vegetation communities. Scientific names for all referenced vascular plant species are
included in Table 1. None of the vascular plant species documented on the property are
designated SAR. None of the vegetation communities are ranked as provincially -rare.
4.2.2 Wetlands
Provincial mapping designates significant areas of the property as unevaluated wetland
(NHIC, 2018). However, site surveys by an OWES -certified ecologist (M. Francis,
Azimuth) determined that this mapping is inaccurate. Areas mapped as unevaluated
AZIMUTH ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING, INC.

5.b) By -Law No. 2018-089: A By-law to Adopt An Amendment to the Official...
wetland were identified as coniferous plantation (CUP3-9) and upland hardwood forest
(FOD5-3) (see Figure 2). No further evaluation is undertaken in regards to wetland.
4.2.3 General Wildlife
Surveys have documented evidence for the following mammal species on the property:
Grey Squirrel, Red Squirrel, Chipmunk, and White-tailed Deer. None of these species
are of local or provincial conservation concern.
As discussed, candidate SWH functions were evaluated according to provincial criteria
outlined in the Ecoregion 6E Criterion Schedule (MNRF, 2015a). Table 3 contains our
SWH assessment, and SWH functions considered relevant to the property are discussed
in detail in Section 5.3.
4.2.4 Birds
No formal surveys have been conducted to assess bird activity on the property. Habitat
features on the property are assumed to have limited potential function for bird species of
conservation concern. No nesting activity of raptors and/or colonially -nesting birds has
been documented on the property.
4.2.5 Amphibians
The property contains no features with potential to function as amphibian breeding
habitat. As such, no formal surveys have been conducted to assess amphibian activity on
the property. No further assessment is undertaken in regards to amphibians.
4.3 Species at Risk
No SAR have been directly observed or otherwise documented on the property.
Azimuth's SAR screening for the property can be viewed in Table 4. Vegetation present
on the property provides potential habitat for Endangered Bats and Eastern Wood -pewee.
These species are further evaluated in -text, in Sections 5.2.1 and Section 5.3.2
respectively. Habitat requirements, appropriate designations (END, THR, or SC), and
scientific names for all species included in the screening are outlined in Table 4.
5.0 NATURAL HERITAGE FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
5.1 Candidate Significant Woodland
It is the responsibility of individual Townships (or other planning authorities) to
designate and map areas of Significant Woodland. To our knowledge, the property is not
designated as Significant Woodland by the Township or other planning authority. It is
also omitted from any `Core' or `Corridor' areas within the Town, as depicted in
AZIMUTH ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING, INC.
Page 30 of 122
5.b) By -Law No. 2018-089: A By-law to Adopt An Amendment to the Official...
Schedule B of the Town OP (Schedule B). Based on provincial criteria outlined in the
Natural Heritage Reference Manual (MNRF 2010), an objective assessment would likely
determine that woodland features of the property do not qualify as Significant Woodland.
The property is contained within a contiguous woodland feature estimated to be <15ha in
area, and is of insufficient size to provide any `interior' function. Further, it is
fragmented and subdivided by multiple major roadways and residential development
areas. There is no expectation that this block of woodland contains any other significant
feature or function that would afford it a status of Significant Woodland. No further
assessment is undertaken in regards to this candidate feature.
5.2 Candidate Habitat for Threatened and Endangered Species
Features with potential to function as habitat for the following SAR are associated with
the property, based on criteria outlined in our preliminary SAR screening (Table 3).
These species include:
Candidate END bat species roosting habitat.
5.2.1 END Bat Species
Areas of deciduous forest on the property have potential to function as general and
maternity roosting habitat for END bat species, including Little Brown Bat, Northern
Myotis, and Tri -colored Bat. The assessment of bat habitat function determined that only
the FOD5-3 community on the property contains features with potential to function as
habitat for END bat species. Therefore, the F0135-3 community is considered candidate
habitat for END bat species, and potential impacts to this candidate function are
discussed further in Section 7.1.1.
5.3 Candidate Significant Wildlife Habitat
Features with potential to function as SWH were evaluated in our preliminary assessment
[Table 4 (4.1 — 4.5)], based on criteria outlined in the SWH Criterion Schedule for
Ecoregion 6E (MNRF, 2015). Based on this assessment and data collected to date, our
findings indicate the potential for the following SWH functions within the property:
5.3.1 Candidate Bat Maternity Colony Habitat
A general assessment of bat habitat function determined that only the FOD5-3
community on the property contains features with potential to function as significant Bat
Maternity Colony habitat. Therefore, the FOD5-3 community is considered candidate
significant Bat Maternity Colony habitat, and potential impacts to this candidate SWH
function are discussed further in Section 7.2.1.

5.3.2 Candidate Habitat for Special Concern and Rare Wildlife Species
Eastern Wood -pewee
Breeding bird surveys have not been conducted to confirm presence or absence of this
species on the property. Based on breeding habitat preferences for this species, it is
likely that potential habitat function on the property is limited to the small area of
deciduous forest (FOD5-3). Therefore, the FOD5-3 community on the property is
considered candidate habitat for this species, and potential impacts to this candidate
function are discussed further in Section 7.2.2.
5.4 Natural Heritage Features & Functions Summary
Based on the above evaluation, the following natural heritage features and/or functions
are confirmed or have potential to occur on the property and/or adjacent lands, and thus,
are considered within the Impact Assessment of this report:
Candidate Habitat for Threatened and Endangered Species
o Candidate END bat habitat (Little Brown Myotis, Northern Myotis,
Tri -colored Bat)
Candidate Significant Wildlife Habitat
o Candidate Bat Maternity Roosting habitat
o Candidate Habitat for Special Concern and Rare Wildlife Species
■ Candidate Eastern Wood -pewee habitat
6.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Proposed development includes the construction of a `neighborhood plaza', consisting of
multiple mixed-use storefront units. As per Figure 3 and Appendix E, the development
plan includes parking areas and a septic bed for wastewater management. Development
would encompass the eastern half of the property, with some natural features in the
western half of the property to be retained. Access to the proposed development would
be from 4th Line.
7.0 IMPACT ASSESSMENT
7.1 Candidate Habitat for Threatened and Endangered Species
7.1.1 END Bat Species
One forest community on the property, FOD5-3, has the potential to function as habitat
for END bat species. The area of this community located on the property is estimated to
be 0.2 ha. This community contains second -growth hardwood forest, with canopy trees
averaging 20-30cm DBH. Scattered mature trees represent potential snag features,
although the exact number of these has not been quantified. The proposed concept plan
AZIMUTH ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING, INC.
Page 32 of 122
5.b) By -Law No. 2018-089: A By-law to Adopt An Amendment to the Official...
for the property has taken this community into consideration, with areas of FOD5-3 being
retained in an effort to maintain potential habitat function for END bats.
Other forest communities on the property are described as plantation forest and are
considered generally unsuitable as potential habitat for END bat species. Clearance of
these communities is not expected to result in a contravention of Section 10 of the ESA.
However, to ensure no incidental harm to END bats during the development process
which could result in an accidental contravention of Section 10 of the ESA, mitigation
measures are recommended for tree clearing. This includes ensuring that tree removal
take place occur only within a specific timing window (recommended in this report)
when bats would not be active in the general area.
7.2 Candidate Significant Wildlife Habitat
7.2.1 Candidate Bat Maternity Colony Habitat
One forest community on the property, FOD5-3, has the potential to function as Bat
Maternity Colony Habitat. The area of this community located on the property is
estimated to be 0.2 ha. This community contains relatively immature hardwood forest,
with canopy trees averaging <20cm DBH. Scattered mature trees with `snag' features are
present within this community. The proposed concept plan for the property has taken this
community into consideration, with areas of FOD5-3 being retained in an effort to
maintain potential habitat function for bat maternity roosts.
7.2.2 Candidate Habitat for Special Concern and Rare Wildlife Species
The FOD5-3 forest community has potential to function as nesting habitat for Eastern
Wood -pewee and, as such, is considered as candidate habitat for species of special
concern. The proposed concept plan for the property has taken this community into
consideration, with areas of FOD5-3 being retained in an effort to maintain potential
habitat function.

8.1 Wildlife Impact Mitigation
Where woody vegetation removal is required (e.g. tree clearance), timing windows
should be respected to avoid damaging active wildlife habitat, including nesting birds and
transient bats. In general, vegetation removal should be restricted to outside the window
of —mid April — late October. Removal of trees and vegetation within this time window
may result in a contravention to the Migratory Birds Convention Act and/or the
Endangered Species Act.

8.2 Sediment Controls
The property is located on sandy soils and, proposed construction activities have the
potential to result in excessive off-site sedimentation during storm events. To mitigate
this, it is recommended that sediment and erosion controls be installed around the work
area prior to site excavations. Such controls should be employed for the duration of the
construction period, and upon completion of construction until such time as disturbed
areas are re -vegetated to preconstruction conditions or better. Any fencing, including
sediment and erosion controls, should avoid the use of wire materials which have the
potential to trap wildlife. We recommend that disturbed/exposed soils are restored as
soon as possible following construction, and that restoration plantings use only native,
site -appropriate trees, shrubs, grasses or other suitable native vegetation. Azimuth would
be pleased to prepare a native species planting plan for the property upon request.
9.0 CLOSURE
This study was undertaken for a Property Located at Lot 1, Concession 5 (Roll No. 4346-
010-002-30000), Township of Oro-Medonte, County of Simcoe. Based on our
interpretation of the environmental conditions of the existing Town OP, the development
of the proposed Neighborhood Plaza is consistent with the OP. The proposed
development would result in the partial loss of woodland cover on the property; however,
it is our opinion that the area of woodland proposed to be removed does not contribute to
any significant features or protected natural function on the landscape. Our field
investigations determined that, contrary to provincial mapping applications, the property
contains no wetland communities. Finally, based on our assessment, there is no
expectation that the proposed works would result in a contravention to Sections 9 and 10
of the ESA, assuming proposed mitigation measures are followed.

Sent: May 4, 2018 11:48 AM
To: 'Ibull@nvca.on.ca'
Subject: EIS Terms of Reference Request: 4th Line, Oro
Hello Lee:
I hope you're well. I'm emailing to inquire about an EIS that Azimuth is preparing for a property located in Oro-Medonte
at the corner of the 4t" Line and Horseshoe Valley Rd. I understand that Dave Featherstone is away on leave, and so I'm
reaching out to you for confirmation of a study Terms of Reference. If someone else is stick -handling these inquiries at
the moment, please excuse this email and forward to the appropriate person.
In summary, the subject property is located within the Horseshoe Valley settlement node and, therefore, outside of the
provincial natural heritage system. The property is zoned under the Township Official Plan as 'Resort
Facility'. Although the property contains areas mapped as unevaluated wetland (see attached), a recent site survey
confirmed that no wetland communities are present. The dominant natural feature is woodland, which is comprised
primarily of immature and mid -aged coniferous plantation. I've attached some background documentation to assist in
providing context, including a map of the property location, pre -consultation notes from both NVCA and the Township,
and a summary document of proposed development plans.
Given the zoning details and the limited natural heritage features present, Azimuth is proposing a very scoped study,
including the following:
- Conduct a single site visit (May 2018) to document/characterize the following:
o Identify candidate Key Natural Heritage Features on the property, including features with potential to
function as habitat for Species at Risk and Significant Wildlife Habitat;
o Evaluate vegetation communities using protocols of the Ecological Land Classification for Southern
Ontario (Lee et al. 1998. Ecological land classification for southern Ontario: first approximation and
its applications. SCSS Field Guide FG -02);
o Record a list of vascular plants and incidental wildlife observations.
- Conduct a Species at Risk (SAR) screening for the property including a review of the habitat types used by
SAR as defined by the MNRF and determine if the habitat types utilized by the SAR are present in the study
area;
- Assess wildlife habitat function of the property, including potential function of the property as Significant
Wildlife Habitat, as per the Significant Wildlife Habitat Criteria Schedules for Ecoregions 6E;
- Map vegetation communities and other environmental features on current air photos;
- Prepare a scoped EIS report to:
o Assess the potential direct and indirect impacts of development on identified natural heritage
features;
o Assess conformity of the proposed activities with applicable legislation and/or policy;
o Recommend and develop an appropriate avoidance/mitigation/restoration strategy to address the
potential environmental impacts.
Please confirm that the above EIS Terms of Reference is satisfactory to NVCA and/or make recommended adjustments
as necessary.
Thanks for your time, and please don't hesitate to call and discuss further.
Regards,

2.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report describes the results of the 2018 Stage 1-2 Archaeological Assessment of Part of
Lot 1, Concession 5 (Geographic Township of Oro), Township of Oro-Medonte, County of
Simcoe, conducted by AMICK Consultants Limited. This study was conducted under
Professional Archaeologist License #P058 issued to Michael Henry by the Minister of
Tourism, Culture and Sport for the Province of Ontario. This assessment was undertaken as
a requirement under the Planning Act (RSO 1990) and the Provincial Policy Statement
(2014) in order to support a Site Plan and companion Zoning By-law Amendment application
as part of the pre -submission process. Within the land use planning and development
context, Ontario Regulation 544/06 under the Planning Act (1990b) requires an evaluation of
archaeological potential and, where applicable, an archaeological assessment report
completed by an archaeologist licensed by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport
(MTCS). Policy 2.6 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS 2014) addresses archaeological
resources. All work was conducted in conformity with Ontario Ministry of Tourism and
Culture (MTC) Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011), the
Ontario Heritage Act (RSO 1990a).
AMICK Consultants Limited was engaged by the proponent to undertake a Stage 1-2
Archaeological Assessment of lands potentially affected by the proposed undertaking and
was granted permission to carry out archaeological fieldwork. The entirety of the study area
was subject to property inspection and photographic documentation concurrently with the
Stage 2 Property Assessment high intensity test pit methodology at a five -metre interval
between individual test pits on 10 May 2018. All records, documentation, field notes,
photographs and artifacts (as applicable) related to the conduct and findings of these
investigations are held at the Lakelands District corporate offices of AMICK Consultants
Limited until such time that they can be transferred to an agency or institution approved by
the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS) on behalf of the government and
citizens of Ontario.
As a result of the property Assessment of the study area physical evidence of human activity
in the past was observed but is too recent to qualify as an archaeological resource and is of no
Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI). Accordingly, no archaeological resources were
documented. Consequently, the following recommendations are made:
1. No further archaeological assessment of the study area is warranted;
2. The Provincial interest in archaeological resources with respect to the proposed
undertaking has been addressed;
3. The proposed undertaking is clear of any archaeological concern.

5.1 DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT
This report describes the results of the 2018 Stage 1-2 Archaeological Assessment of Part of
Lot 1, Concession 5 (Geographic Township of Oro), Township of Oro-Medonte, County of
Simcoe, conducted by AMICK Consultants Limited. This study was conducted under

5.2 HISTORICAL CONTEXT
5.2.1 GENERAL HISTORICAL OUTLINE
In the seventeenth century Simcoe County was home to the Huron. With the arrival of French
priests and Jesuits, missions were established near Georgian Bay. After the destruction of the
missions by the Iroquois and the British, Algonquin speaking peoples occupied the area.
After the war of 1812, the government began to invest in the military defences of Upper

Canada, through the extension of Simcoe's Yonge Street from Lake Simcoe to
Penetanguishene on Georgian Bay (Garbutt 2010).
The First Nations along the bank of Hawkestone Creek and Ridge Road originally
established the Township of Oro. By the 1830s settlers from the British Isles started to
arrive, as Richard Hodges began to establish a landing for settlers. This landing would be
referred to as Hodges's Landing and would see the development of hotels, a tavern and
other service industries. Many of the communities in the area were located along
Penetanguishene Road. As a result the communities often grew quickly providing much
needed services to travellers along the road and former portage route. By 1871, the railroad
reached Hawkestone and a large train station was built here to handle the shipping of
freight. By the early 20th century another railway line was built through Craighurst. This
provided the community with further opportunities to ship goods to other communities and
provided easier transportation for its residents and future residents (Wikipedia 2010).
Map 2 is a facsimile segment from Hogg's Map of the County of Simcoe (Hogg 1871). Map
2 illustrates the location of the study area and environs as of 1871. The study area is shown to
belong to W. Quail; there are no structures shown to be within or near the study area. In
addition, this map illustrates two settlement roads adjacent to the study area, one to the north
and another to the west. The northern road is the current Horseshoe Valley Road while the
western road roughly corresponds to 4 Line North, though the current alignment of the road
travels around the eastern boundary of the study area.
Map 3 is a facsimile segment of the Township of Oro map reproduced from The Simcoe
Supplement in Illustrated Atlas of the Dominion of Canada (Belden, H. & Co. 1881). Map 3
illustrates the location of the study area and environs as of 1881. The study area is not shown
to belong to anyone and there are no structures shown to be within or near to the study area.
In addition, this map illustrates two settlement roads adjacent to the study area, one to the
north and another to the west. The northern road is the current Horseshoe Valley Road while
the western road roughly corresponds to 4 Line North, though the current alignment of the
road travels around the eastern boundary of the study area.
It must be borne in mind that inclusion of names of property owners and depictions of
structures and other features within properties on these maps were sold by subscription.
Property owners paid to include information or details about their properties. While
information included within these maps may provide information about the occupation of a
property at a specific moment in time when the information was collected, the absence of
such information does not necessarily indicate that the property was not occupied.
5.2.2 CURRENT CONDITIONS
The present use of the study area is as open woodlot. The study area is roughly 3.08 hectares
in area. The study area includes within it entirely woodlot. There is a modern building
foundation and some surrounding refuse in the western half of the study area, but the material
was found to be too recent to hold any Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI) based on

the professional judgement of the Field Director and the Project License Archaeologist. The
remainder of the study area is a wooded area. The study area is bounded on the north by
Horseshoe Valley Road, on the east by 4 Line North, and on the west and south by woodlot.
The study area is adjacent and to the southwest of the intersection of Horseshoe Valley Road
and 4 Line North. A plan of the study area is included within this report as Map 4. Current
conditions encountered during the Stage 1-2 Property Assessment are illustrated in Maps 5 &
6.
5.2.3 SUMMARY OF HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The brief overview of readily available documentary evidence indicates that the study area is
situated within an area that was close to historic transportation routes and therefore has
potential for sites relating to early Post -contact settlement in the region.
5.3 ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONTEXT
The Archaeological Sites Database administered by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and
Sport (MTCS) indicates that there are two (2) previously documented sites within 1
kilometre of the study area. However, it must be noted that this is based on the assumption
of the accuracy of information compiled from numerous researchers using different
methodologies over many years. AMICK Consultants Limited assumes no responsibility for
the accuracy of site descriptions, interpretations such as cultural affiliation, or location
information derived from the Archaeological Sites Database administered by MTCS. In
addition, it must also be noted that a lack of formerly documented sites does not indicate that
there are no sites present as the documentation of any archaeological site is contingent upon
prior research having been conducted within the study area.
On the basis of information supplied by MTCS, no archaeological assessments have been
conducted within 50 metres of the study area. AMICK Consultants Limited assumes no
responsibility for the accuracy of previous assessments, interpretations such as cultural
affiliation, or location information derived from the Archaeological Sites Database
administered by MTCS. In addition, it must also be noted that the lack of formerly
documented previous assessments does not indicate that no assessments have been
conducted.
Data contained in previous archaeological reports in close proximity to the study area that is
relevant to Stage 1 Background Study is defined within the Standards and Guidelines for
Consultant Archaeologists in Section 7.5.8 Standard 4 as follows:
"Provide descriptions of previous archaeological fieldwork carried out within the
limits of, or immediately adjacent to the project area, as documented by all available
reports that include archaeological fieldwork carried out on the lands to be
impacted by this project, or where reports document archaeological sites
immediately adjacent (i.e., within 50 m) to those lands. "

(AMICK File #18562IMTCS File #P058-1659-2018)
In accordance with data supplied by MTCS for the purposes of completing this study, there
are no previous reports detailing, "archaeological fieldwork carried out on the lands to be
impacted by this project", nor do any previous reports document known archaeological sites
within 50 metres of the study area.
The Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists stipulates that the necessity to
summarize the results of previous archaeological assessment reports, or to cite MTCS File
Numbers in references to other archaeological reports, is reserved for reports that are directly
relevant to the fieldwork and recommendations for the study area (S & Gs 7.5.7, Standard 2,
MTC 2011: 125). This is further refined and elaborated upon in Section 7.5.8, Standards 4 &
5, MTC 2011:
"4. Provide descriptions of previous archaeological fieldwork carried out within
the limits of, or immediately adjacent to the project area, as documented by all
available reports that include archaeological fieldwork carried out on the lands
to be impacted by this project, or where reports document archaeological sites
immediately adjacent (Le., within 50m) to those lands."
"5. If previous findings and recommendations are relevant to the current stage
of work, provide the following:
a. a brief summary of previous findings and recommendations
b. documentation of any differences in the current work from the previously
recommended work
c. rationale for the differences from the previously recommended work"
(Emphasis Added)
The study area is situated in area for which there is no archaeological master plan.
It must be further noted that there are no relevant plaques associated with the study area,
which would suggest an activity or occupation within, or in close proximity to, the study area
that may indicate potential for associated archaeological resources of significant CHVI.
5.3.1 PRE -CONTACT REGISTERED SITES
A summary of registered and/or known archaeological sites within a 1 -kilometre radius of
the study area was gathered from the Archaeological Sites Database, administered by MTCS.
As a result it was determined that there is one (1) archaeological site relating directly to Pre -
contact habitation/activity formally registered within the immediate vicinity of the study area.
However, the lack of formally documented archaeological sites does not mean that Pre -
contact people did not use the area; it more likely reflects a lack of systematic archaeological
research in the immediate vicinity. Even in cases where one or more assessments may have
been conducted in close proximity to a proposed landscape alteration, an extensive area of
physical archaeological assessment coverage is required throughout the region to produce a

None of the above noted archaeological sites are situated within 300 metres of the study area.
Therefore, they have no impact on determinations of archaeological potential for further
archaeological resources related to Pre -contact activity and occupation with respect to the
archaeological assessment of the proposed undertaking.
There are no surface water features within 300 metres of the study area.

the arrival of European cultures to the area at the beginning of the 17th century. This general
cultural outline is based on archaeological data and represents a synthesis and summary of
research over a long period of time. It is necessarily generalizing and is not necessarily
representative of the point of view of all researchers or stakeholders. It is offered here as a
rough guideline and as a very broad outline to illustrate the relationships of broad cultural

5.3.3 REGISTERED SITES OF UNKNOWN CULTURAL AFFILIATION
A summary of registered and/or known archaeological sites within a 1 -kilometre radius of
the study area was gathered from the Archaeological Sites Database, administered by MTCS.
As a result, it was determined that there is one (1) archaeological site relating directly to an
unknown cultural affiliation habitation/activity formally registered within the immediate

None of the above noted archaeological sites are situated within 300 metres of the study area.
Therefore, they have no impact on determinations of archaeological potential for further
archaeological resources related to Pre- or Post -contact activity and occupation with respect
to the archaeological assessment of the proposed undertaking.
5.3.4 LOCATION AND CURRENT CONDITIONS
The study area is described as Part of Lot 1, Concession 5 (Geographic Township of Oro),
Township of Oro-Medonte, County of Simcoe, conducted by AMICK Consultants Limited.
This assessment was undertaken as a requirement under the Planning Act (RSO 1990) and
the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) in order to support a Site Plan and companion Zoning
By-law Amendment application as part of the pre -submission process.
The present use of the study area is as open woodlot. The study area is roughly 3.08 hectares
in area. The study area includes within it entirely woodlot. There is a modern building
foundation and some surrounding refuse in the western half of the study area, but the material
was found to be too recent to hold any Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI) based on
the professional judgement of the Field Director and the Project License Archaeologist. The
remainder of the study area is a wooded area. The study area is bounded on the north by
Horseshoe Valley Road, on the east by 4 Line North, and on the west and south by woodlot.
The study area is adjacent and to the southwest of the intersection of Horseshoe Valley Road
and 4 Line North. A plan of the study area is included within this report as Map 4. Current

Township of Oro), Township of Oro-Medonte, County of Simcoe
(AMICK File #18562IMTCS File #P058-1659-2018)
The study area is situated within the Simcoe Uplands physiographic region. The Simcoe
Uplands is described as a series of broad, rolling till plains separated by steep -sided, flat -
floored valleys, indicating they were islands in Lake Algonquin. The till is composed of
mainly Precambrian rock, the texture of which is a gritty loam that becomes sandier toward
the north; more calcareous till occurs near Lake Simcoe and near Midland. Although the
dominant soil in the uplands is a sandy loam, smaller areas near the sandy ridges of the Oro
Moraine and the Hendrie forest feature extremely pervious soil areas, sometimes with dry
depressions many feet in depth. The loose sandy texture of the surface soil is conducive to
wind erosion when vegetation has been removed (Chapman and Putnam 1984: 182-183).
5.3.6 SURFACE WATER
Sources of potable water, access to waterborne transportation routes, and resources
associated with watersheds are each considered, both individually and collectively to be the
highest criteria for determination of the potential of any location to support extended human
activity, land use, or occupation. Accordingly, proximity to water is regarded as the primary
indicator of archaeological resource potential. The Standards and Guidelines for Consultant
Archaeologists stipulates that undisturbed lands within 300 metres of a water source are
considered to have archaeological potential (MTC 2011: 21).
There are no surface water features within 300 metres of the study area.
5.3.7 CURRENT PROPERTY CONDITIONS CONTEXT
Current characteristics encountered within an archaeological research study area determine if
property Assessment of specific portions of the study area will be necessary and in what
manner a Stage 2 Property Assessment should be conducted, if necessary. Conventional
assessment methodologies include pedestrian survey on ploughable lands and test pit
methodology within areas that cannot be ploughed. For the purpose of determining where
property Assessment is necessary and feasible, general categories of current landscape
conditions have been established as archaeological conventions. These include:
5.3.7.1 BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURAL FOOTPRINTS
A building, for the purposes of this particular study, is a structure that exists currently or has
existed in the past in a given location. The footprint of a building is the area of the building
formed by the perimeter of the foundation. Although the interior area of building
foundations would often be subject to property Assessment when the foundation may
represent a potentially significant historic archaeological site, the footprints of existing
structures are not typically assessed. Existing structures commonly encountered during
archaeological assessments are often residential -associated buildings (houses, garages,
sheds), and/or component buildings of farm complexes (barns, silos, greenhouses). In many
cases, even though the disturbance to the land may be relatively shallow and archaeological
resources may be situated below the disturbed layer (e.g. a concrete garage pad), there is no
practical means of assessing the area beneath the disturbed laver. However, if there were

evidence to suggest that there are likely archaeological resources situated beneath the
disturbance, alternative methodologies may be recommended to study such areas.
There is a modern building foundation and some surrounding refuse in the western half of the
study area, but the material was found to be too recent to hold any Cultural Heritage Value or
Interest (CHVI) based on the professional judgement of the Field Director and the Project
License Archaeologist. The foundation also did not affect the test pitting grid. Maps 5 & 6 of
this report illustrate the location of this feature.
5.3.7.2 DISTURBANCE
Areas that have been subjected to extensive and deep land alteration that has severely
damaged the integrity of archaeological resources are known as land disturbances. Examples
of land disturbances are areas of past quarrying, major landscaping, and sewage and
infrastructure development (MTC 2011: 18), as well as driveways made of gravel or asphalt
or concrete, in -ground pools, and wells or cisterns. Surfaces paved with interlocking brick,
concrete, asphalt, gravel and other surfaces meant to support heavy loads or to be long
wearing hard surfaces in high traffic areas, must be prepared by the excavation and removal
of topsoil, grading, and the addition of aggregate material to ensure appropriate engineering
values for the supporting matrix and also to ensure that the installations shed water to avoid
flooding or moisture damage. All hard surfaced areas are prepared in this fashion and
therefore have no or low archaeological potential. Major utility lines are conduits that
provide services such as water, natural gas, hydro, communications, sewage, and others.
These major installations should not be confused with minor below ground service
installations not considered to represent significant disturbances removing archaeological
potential, such as services leading to individual structures which tend to be comparatively
very shallow and vary narrow corridors. Areas containing substantial and deeply buried
services or clusters of below ground utilities are considered areas of disturbance, and may be
excluded from Stage 2 Property Assessment. Disturbed areas are excluded from Stage 2
Property Assessment due to no or low archaeological potential and often because they are
also not viable to assess using conventional methodology.
"Earthwork is one of the major works involved in road construction. This process
includes excavation, material removal, filling, compaction, and construction.
Moisture content is controlled, and compaction is done according to standard design
procedures. Normally, rock explosion at the road bed is not encouraged. While filling
a depression to reach the road level, the original bed is flattened after the removal
of the topsoil. The fill layer is distributed and compacted to the designed
specifications. This procedure is repeated until the compaction desired is reached.
The fill material should not contain organic elements, and possess a low index of
plasticity. Fill material can include gravel and decomposed rocks of a particular size,
but should not consist of huge clay lumps. Sand clay can be used. The area is
considered to be adequately compacted when the roller movement does not create a
noticeable deformation. The road surface finish is reliant on the economic aspects,
and the estimated usage. " [Emphasis Added]

(AMICK File #18562IMTCS File #P058-1659-2018)
(Goel 2013)
The supporting matrix of a hard paved surface cannot contain organic material which is
subject to significant compression, decay and moisture retention. Topsoil has no engineering
value and must be removed in any construction application where the surface finish at grade
requires underlying support.
Installation of sewer lines and other below ground services associated with infrastructure
development often involves deep excavation that can remove archaeological potential. This
consideration does not apply to relatively minor below ground services that connect
structures and facilities to services that support their operation and use. Major servicing
corridors will be situated within adjacent road allowances with only minor, narrow and
relatively shallow underground services entering into the study area to connect existing
structures to servicing mainlines. The relatively minor, narrow and shallow services buried
within a residential property do not require such extensive ground disturbance to remove or
minimize archaeological potential within affected areas.
The study area does not contain previous disturbances.
5.3.7.3 Low -LYING AND WET AREAS
Landscape features that are covered by permanently wet areas, such as marshes, swamps, or
bodies of water like streams or lakes, are known as low-lying and wet areas. Low-lying and
wet areas are excluded from Stage 2 Property Assessment due to inaccessibility.
The study area does not contain low-lying and wet areas.
5.3.7.4 STEEP SLOPE
Landscape which slopes at a greater than (>) 20 degree change in elevation, is known as
steep slope. Areas of steep slope are considered uninhabitable, and are excluded from Stage
2 Property Assessment.
Generally, steep slopes are not assessed because steep slopes are interpreted to have low
potential, not due to viability to assess, except in cases where the slope is severe enough to
become a safety concern for archaeological field crews. In such cases, the Occupational
Health and Safety Act takes precedence as indicated in the introduction to the Standards and
Guidelines. AMICK Consultant Limited policy is to assess all slope areas whenever it is safe
to do so. Assessment of slopes, except where safety concerns arise, eliminates the invariably
subjective interpretation of what might constitute a steep slope in the field. This is done to
minimize delays due to conflicts in such interpretations and to increase the efficiency of
review.
The study area does not contain areas of steep slope.

5.3.7.5 WOODED AREAS
Areas of the property that cannot be ploughed, such as natural forest or woodlot, are known
as wooded areas. These wooded areas qualify for Stage 2 Property Assessment, and are
required to be assessed using test pit survey methodology.
The entirety of the study area is woodlot. Maps 5 & 6 of this report illustrate the locations of
these features.
5.3.7.6 PLOUGHABLE AGRICULTURAL LANDS
Areas of current or former agricultural lands that have been ploughed in the past are
considered ploughable agricultural lands. Ploughing these lands regularly turns the soil,
which in turn brings previously buried artifacts to the surface, which are then easily
identified during visual inspection. Furthermore, by allowing the ploughed area to weather
sufficiently through rainfall, soil is washed off of exposed artifacts at the surface and the
visibility of artifacts at the surface of recently worked field areas is enhanced markedly.
Pedestrian survey of ploughed agricultural lands is the preferred method of physical
assessment because of the greater potential for finding evidence of archaeological resources
if present.
The study area does not contain any ploughable lands.
5.3.7.7 LAWN, PASTURE, MEADOW
Landscape features consisting of former agricultural land covered in low growth, such as
lawns, pastures, meadows, shrubbery, and immature trees. These are areas that may be
considered too small to warrant ploughing, (i.e. less than one hectare in area), such as yard
areas surrounding existing structures, and land -locked open areas that are technically
workable by a plough but inaccessible to agricultural machinery. These areas may also
include open area within urban contexts that do not allow agricultural tillage within
municipal or city limits or the use of urban roadways by agricultural machinery. These areas
are required to be assessed using test pit survey methodology.
The study area does not contain any areas of lawn, pasture or meadow.
5.3.8 SUMMARY
Background research also suggests potential for archaeological resources of Post -contact
origins based on proximity to a historic roadway.
The entirety of the study area does exhibit archaeological potential and therefore a Stage 2
Property Assessment is required.

Archaeological potential does not indicate that there are necessarily sites present, but that
environmental and historical factors suggest that there may be as yet undocumented
archaeological sites within lands that have not been subject to systematic archaeological
research in the past.
6.0 FIELD WORK METHODS AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
This report confirms that the study area was subject to Stage 2 Property Assessment by high
intensity test pit methodology at a five -metre interval between individual test pits on 10 May
2018.
The fieldwork undertaken as a component of this study was conducted according to the
archaeological fieldwork standards and guidelines (including weather and lighting
conditions). Weather conditions were appropriate for the necessary fieldwork required to
complete the Stage 2 Property Assessment and to create the documentation appropriate to
this study. The locations from which photographs were taken and the directions toward
which the camera was aimed for each photograph are illustrated in Maps 5 & 6 of this report.
Upon completion of the property inspection of the study area, it was determined that select
areas would require Stage 2 Property Assessment.
It must be noted that AMICK Consultants Limited has been retained to assess lands as
specified by the proponent. As such, AMICK Consultants Limited is constrained by the
terms of the contract in place at the time of the Archaeological Assessment and can only
enter into lands for which AMICK Consultants Limited has received consent from the owner
or their agent(s). The proponent has been advised that the entire area within the planning
application must be subject to archaeological assessment and that portions of the planning
application may only be excluded if they are of low potential, are not viable to assess, or are
subject to planning provisions that would restrict any such areas from any form of ground
altering activities.
6.1 PROPERTY INSPECTION
A detailed examination and photo documentation was carried out on the study area in order
to document the existing conditions of the study area to facilitate the Stage 2 Property
Assessment. All areas of the study area were visually inspected and select features were
photographed as a representative sample of each area defined within Maps 5 and 6.
Observations made of conditions within the study area at the time of the inspection were used
to inform the requirement for Stage 2 Property Assessment for portions of the study area as
well as to aid in the determination of appropriate Stage 2 Property Assessment strategies.
The locations from which photographs were taken and the directions toward which the
camera was aimed for each photograph are illustrated in Maps 5 & 6 of this report.

In accordance with the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists, test pit
survey is required to be undertaken for those portions of the study area where deep prior
disturbance had not occurred prior to assessment or which were accessible to survey. Test pit
survey is only used in areas that cannot be subject to ploughing or cultivation. This report
confirms that the conduct of test pit survey within the study area conformed to the following
standards:
1. Test pit survey only on terrain where ploughing is not possible or viable, as in the
following examples:
a. wooded areas
[All wooded areas were test pit surveyed at an interval of 5 m between
individual test pits]
b. pasture with high rock content
[Not Applicable - The study area does not contain any pastures with high rock
content]
c. abandoned farmland with heavy brush and weed growth
[Not Applicable - The study area does not contain any abandoned farmland
with heavy brush and weed growth]
d. orchards and vineyards that cannot be strip ploughed (planted in rows 5 in
apart or less), gardens, parkland or lawns, any of which will remain in use for
several years after the survey
[Not Applicable - The study area does not contain any of the above-mentioned
circumstances]
e. properties where existing landscaping or infrastructure would be damaged.
The presence of such obstacles must be documented in sufficient detail to
demonstrate that ploughing or cultivation is not viable.
[Not Applicable - The study area does not contain the above-mentioned
circumstances]
f. narrow (10 in or less) linear survey corridors (e.g., water or gas pipelines,
road widening). This includes situations where there are planned impacts 10
in or less beyond the previously impacted limits on both sides of an existing
linear corridor (e.g., two linear survey corridors on either side of an existing
roadway). Where at the time of fieldwork the lands within the linear corridor
meet the standards as stated under the above section on pedestrian survey
land preparation, pedestrian survey must be carried out. Space test pits at
maximum intervals of 5 m (400 test pits per hectare) in areas less than 300 in
from any feature of archaeological potential.
[Not Applicable — The study area does not contain any linear corridors]

2. Space test pits at maximum intervals of 5 m (400 test pits per hectare) in areas less
than 300 m from any feature of archaeological potential.
[All test pits were spaced at an interval of 5m between individual test pits]
Space test pits at maximum intervals of 10 m (100 test pits per hectare) in areas more
than 300 m from any feature of archaeological potential.
[The entirety of the test pitted areas of the study area were assessed using high
intensity test pit methodology at an interval of 5 metres between individual test
pits]
4. Test pit to within I m of built structures (both intact and ruins), or until test pits show
evidence of recent ground disturbance.
[Test pits were placed within I m of all built structures]
5. Ensure that test pits are at least 30 cm in diameter.
[All test pits were at least 30 cm in diameter]
6. Excavate each test pit, by hand, into the first 5 cm of subsoil and examine the pit for
stratigraphy, cultural features, or evidence offill.
[Regardless of the interval between individual test pits, all test pits were
excavated by hand into the first 5 cm of subsoil where possible and examined for
stratigraphy, cultural features, or evidence of fill. In areas where topsoil was not
present, test pits were excavated to a minimum of 30cm in depth to ensure that
suspected subsoils, if present, were not layers of fill or waterborne materials
overlying buried topsoil. If these areas consisted of fill soils, test pits were also
excavated a minimum of 30 cm below grade in order to ensure disturbance
extended below even deep topsoil layers such as those encountered in agricultural
fields to ensure that the depth of disturbance was sufficient to remove
archaeological potential in most contexts. Where other evidence indicates
locations of potentially significant archaeological sites that may include cultural
deposits below fill soils, alternative strategies to explore beneath the fill layers
found in some areas may be necessary to complete the Stage 2 Property
Assessment. In such cases, further Stage 2 Property Assessment may be
recommended following completion of the property survey under conventional
methodologies.]
7. Screen soil through mesh no greater than 6 mm.
[All soil was screened through mesh no greater than 6 mm]
8. Collect all artifacts according to their associated test pit.
[Not Applicable - No archaeological resources were encountered]
9. Backfill all test pits unless instructed not to by the landowner.
[All test pits were backfilled]

7.0 RECORD OF FINDS
Section 7.8.2 of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011:
137-138) outlines the requirements of the Record of Finds component of a Stage 2 report:
1. For all archaeological resources and sites that are identified in Stage 2, provide
the following:
a. a general description of the types of artifacts and features that were
identified
b. a general description of the area within which artifacts and features were
identified, including the spatial extent of the area and any relative
variations in density
c. a catalogue and description of all artifacts retained
d. a description of the artifacts and features left in the field (nature of
material, frequency, other notable traits).
2. Provide an inventory of the documentary record generated in the field (e.g.
photographs, maps, field notes).
3. Submit information detailing exact site locations on the property separately from
the project report, as specified in section 7.6. Information on exact site locations
includes the following:
a. table of GPS readings for locations of all archaeological sites
b. maps showing detailed site location information.
7.1 ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES
As a result of the 2018 Stage 1-2 Property Assessment of the study area no archaeological
resources were encountered. The structural foundation and modern refuse around it were
determined to be too recent to hold any Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI) by the
professional judgement of the Field Director and the Project License Archaeologist.
7.2 ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELDWORK DOCUMENTATION
The documentation produced during the field investigation conducted in support of this
report includes: one sketch map, one page of photo log, one page of field notes, and 14
digital photographs.

Stage 2 Property Assessment on 10 May 2018, consisting of high-intensity test pit survey at
an interval of five metres between individual test pits. All records, documentation, field
notes, photographs and artifacts (as applicable) related to the conduct and findings of these
investigations are held at the Lakelands District corporate offices of AMICK Consultants
Limited until such time that they can be transferred to an agency or institution approved by
the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS) on behalf of the government and
citizens of Ontario.
8.1 STAGE 1 ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS
As part of the present study, background research was conducted in order to determine the
archaeological potential of the proposed project area.
"A Stage I background study provides the consulting archaeologist and Ministry report
reviewer with information about the known and potential cultural heritage resources within a
particular study area, prior to the start of the field assessment. " (OMCzCR 1993)
The evaluation of potential is further elaborated Section 1.3 of the Standards and Guidelines
for Consultant Archaeologist (2011) prepared by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and
Culture:
" The Stage I background study (and, where undertaken, property inspection) leads to an
evaluation of the property's archaeological potential. If the evaluation indicates that there is
archaeological potential anywhere on the property, the next step is a Stage 2 assessment. "
(MTC 2011: 17)
Features or characteristics that indicate archaeological potential when documented within the
study area, or within close proximity to the study area (as applicable), include:
" - previously identified archaeological sites
- water sources (It is important to distinguish types of water and shoreline, and to
distinguish natural from artificial water sources, as these features affect site locations
and types to varying degrees):
o primary water sources (lakes, rivers, streams, creeks)
o secondary water sources (intermittent streams and creeks, springs, marshes,
swamps)
o features indicating past water sources (e.g., glacial lake shorelines indicated
by the presence of raised sand or gravel beach ridges, relic river or stream
channels indicated by clear dip or swale in the topography, shorelines of
drained lakes or marshes, cobble beaches)
o accessible or inaccessible shoreline (e.g., high bluffs, swamp or marsh fields
by the edge of a lake, sandbars stretching into marsh)
- elevated topography (e.g., eskers, drumlins, large knolls, plateaux)
- pockets of well -drained sandy soil, especially near areas of heavy soil or rocky

- distinctive land formations that might have been special or spiritual places, such as
waterfalls, rock outcrops, caverns, mounds, and promontories and their bases. There
may be physical indicators of their use, such as burials, structures, offerings, rock
paintings or carvings.
- resource areas, including:
o food or medicinal plants (e.g., migratory routes, spawning areas, prairie)
o scarce raw materials (e.g., quartz, copper, ochre or outcrops of chert)
o early Post -contact industry (e.g., fur trade, logging, prospecting, mining)
- areas of early Post -contact settlement. These include places of early military or
pioneer settlement (e.g., pioneer homesteads, isolated cabins, farmstead complexes),
early wharf or dock complexes, pioneer churches and early cemeteries. There may be
commemorative markers of their history, such as local, provincial, or federal
monuments or heritage parks.
- Early historical transportation routes (e.g., trails, passes, roads, railways, portage
routes)
- property listed on a municipal register or designated under the Ontario Heritage
Actor that is a federal, provincial or municipal historic landmark or site
- property that local histories or informants have identified with possible
archaeological sties, historical events, activities, or occupations"
(MTC 2011: 17-18)
The evaluation of potential does not indicate that sites are present within areas affected by
proposed development. Evaluation of potential considers the possibility for as yet
undocumented sites to be found in areas that have not been subject to systematic
archaeological investigation in the past. Potential for archaeological resources is used to
determine if property assessment of a study area or portions of a study area is required.
"Archaeological resources not previously documented may also be present in the
affected area. If the alternative areas being considered, or the preferred alternative
selected, exhibit either high or medium potential for the discovery of archaeological
remains an archaeological assessment will be required. "
(MCC & MOE 1992: 6-7)
"The Stage I background study (and, where undertaken, property inspection) leads to
an evaluation of the property's archaeological potential. If the evaluation indicates
that there is archaeological potential anywhere on the property, the next step is a
Stage 2 assessment. "
(MTC 2011: 17)
In addition, archaeological sites data is also used to determine if any archaeological resources
had been formerly documented within or in close proximity to the study area and if these
same resources might be subject to impacts from the proposed undertaking. This data was
also collected in order to establish the relative cultural heritage value or interest of any
resources that might be encountered during the conduct of the present study. For example,
the relative rarity of a site can be used to assign an elevated level of cultural heritage value or

interest to a site that is atypical for the immediate vicinity. The requisite archaeological sites
data of previously registered archaeological sites was collected from the Programs and
Services Branch, Culture Programs Unit, MTCS and the corporate research library of
AMICK Consultants Limited. The Stage I Background Research methodology also includes
a review of the most detailed available topographic maps, historical settlement maps,
archaeological management plans (where applicable) and commemorative plaques or
monuments. When previous archaeological research documents lands to be impacted by the
proposed undertaking or archaeological sites within 50 metres of the study area, the reports
documenting this earlier work are reviewed for pertinent information. AMICK Consultants
Limited will often modify this basic methodology based on professional judgment to include
additional research (such as, local historical works or documents and knowledgeable
informants).
Section 7.7.3 of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011:
132) outlines the requirements of the Analysis and Conclusions component of a Stage 1
Background Study.
1) `Idents and describe areas of archaeological potential within the project area.
2) Identify and describe areas that have been subject to extensive and deep land
alterations. Describe the nature of alterations (e.g., development or other activity)
that have severely damaged the integrity of archaeological resources and have
removed archaeological potential. "
CHARACTERISTICS INDICATING ARCHAEOLOGICAL POTENTIAL
Section 1.3.1 of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists specifies the
property characteristics that indicate archaeological potential (MTC 2011: 17-18). Factors
that indicate archaeological potential are features of the local landscape and environment that
may have attracted people to either occupy the land or to conduct activities within the study
area. One or more of these characteristics found to apply to a study area would necessitate a
Stage 2 Property Assessment to determine if archaeological resources are present. These
characteristics are listed below together with considerations derived from the conduct of this
study.
1) Previously Identified Archaeological Sites
Previously registered archaeological sites have not been documented within 300
metres of the study area.
2) Water Sources
Primary water sources are described as including lakes, rivers streams and creeks.
Close proximity to primary water sources (300 metres) indicates that people had
access to readily available sources of potable water and routes of waterborne trade
and communication should the study area have been used or occupied in the past.
There are no identified primary water sources within 300 metres of the study area.

Township of Oro), Township of Oro-Medonte, County of Simcoe
(AMICK File #18562IMTCS File #P058-1659-2018)
Secondary water sources are described as including intermittent streams and creeks,
springs, marshes, and swamps. Close proximity (300 metres) to secondary water
sources indicates that people had access to readily available sources of potable water,
at least on a seasonal basis, and in some cases seasonal access to routes of waterborne
trade and communication should the study area have been used or occupied in the
past.
There are no identified secondary water sources within 300 metres of the study area.
3) Features Indicating Past Water Sources
Features indicating past water resources are described as including glacial lake
shorelines indicated by the presence of raised sand or gravel beach ridges, relic river
or stream channels indicated by clear dip or swale in the topography, shorelines of
drained lakes or marshes, and cobble beaches. Close proximity (300 metres) to
features indicating past water sources indicates that people had access to readily
available sources of potable water, at least on a seasonal basis, and in some cases
seasonal access to routes of waterborne trade and communication should the study
area have been used or occupied in the past.
There are no identified features indicating past water sources within 300 metres of the
study area.
4) Accessible or Inaccessible Shoreline
This form of landscape feature would include high bluffs, swamp or marsh fields by
the edge of a lake, sandbars stretching into marsh, etc.
There are no shorelines within 300 metres of the study area.
5) Elevated Topogaphy
Features of elevated topography that indicate archaeological potential include eskers,
drumlins, large knolls, and plateaux.
There are no identified features of elevated topography within the study area.
6) Pockets of Well -drained Sandy Soil
Pockets of sandy soil are considered to be especially important near areas of heavy
soil or rocky ground.
The soil throughout the study area is brown sandy topsoil overlying a golden brown
sand subsoil, which is consistent with the wider area surrounding the property.
Therefore, the presence of this soil has no impact on potential within the study area,
as the wider area is not known for clay soils or exposed bedrock.
The image below (Kuhlmann, Stacy 2017) shows the consistencies of soil types and
how they compare to one another. The lower percentage of clay allows the soil to

7) Distinctive Land Formations
These are landscape features that might have been special or spiritual places, such as
waterfalls, rock outcrops, caverns, mounds, and promontories and their bases. There
may be physical indicators of their use, such as burials, structures, offerings, rock
paintings or carvings.
There are no identified distinctive land formations within the study area.
8) Resource Areas
Resource areas that indicate archaeological potential include food or medicinal plants
(e.g., migratory routes, spawning areas, and prairie), scarce raw materials (e.g.,
quartz, copper, ochre or outcrops of chert) and resources of importance to early Post -
contact industry (e.g., logging, prospecting, and mining).
There are no identified resource areas within the study area.
9) Areas of Early Post -contact Settlement
These include places of early military or pioneer settlement (e.g., pioneer homesteads,
isolated cabins, and farmstead complexes), early wharf or dock complexes, pioneer
churches and early cemeteries. There may be commemorative markers of their
history, such as local, provincial, or federal monuments or heritage parks.
The study area is not situated in close proximity to any historic structure identified on
the historic atlas map.
10) Early Historical Transportation Routes
This includes evidence of trails, passes, roads, railways, portage routes.

The study area is situated within 100 metres of two early settlement roads that appear
on the Historic Atlas Maps of 1871 and 1881. These historic roads correspond to the
roads presently known as Horseshoe Valley Road and 4 Line North.
11) Heritage Property
Property listed on a municipal register or designated under the Ontario Heritage Act
or is a federal, provincial or municipal historic landmark or site.
There are no listed or designated heritage buildings or properties that form a part of
the study area. There are no listed or designated heritage buildings or properties that
are adjacent to the study area.
12) Documented Historical or Archaeological Sites
This includes property that local histories or informants have identified with possible
archaeological sites, historical events, activities, or occupations. These are properties
which have not necessarily been formally recognized or for which there is additional
evidence identifying possible archaeological resources associated with historic
properties in addition to the rationale for formal recognition.
There are no known heritage features, or known historic sites, or known
archaeological sites within the study area in addition to those formally documented
with the appropriate agencies or previously noted under a different criterion.
CHARACTERISTICS INDICATING REMOVAL OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL POTENTIAL
Section 1.3.2 of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists specifies the
property characteristics which indicate no archaeological potential or for which
archaeological potential has been removed (MTC 2011: 18-19). These characteristics are
listed below together with considerations derived from the conduct of this study.
The introduction of Section 1.3.2 (MTC 2011: 18) notes that "Archaeological potential can
be determined not to be present for either the entire property or a part(s) of it when the area
under consideration has been subject to extensive and deep land alterations that have
severely damaged the integrity of any archaeological resources. This is commonly referred
to as `disturbed' or 'disturbance, and may include: "
1) QuaLain
There is no evidence to suggest that quarrying operations were ever carried out within
the study area.
2) Major Landscaping Involving Grading Below Topsoil
Unless there is evidence to suggest the presence of buried archaeological deposits,
such deeply disturbed areas are considered to have lost their archaeological potential.
Properties that do not have a long history of Post -contact occupation can have
archaeological potential removed through extensive landscape alterations that

(AMICK File #18562IMTCS File #P058-1659-2018)
penetrate below the topsoil layer. This is because most archaeological sites originate
at grade with relatively shallow associated excavations into the soil. Pre -contact sites
and early historic sites are vulnerable to extensive damage and complete removal due
to landscape modification activities. In urban contexts where a lengthy history of
occupation has occurred, properties may have deeply buried archaeological deposits
covered over and sealed through redevelopment activities that do not include the deep
excavation of the entire property for subsequent uses. Buildings are often erected
directly over older foundations preserving archaeological deposits associated with the
earlier occupation.
There is no evidence to suggest that major landscaping operations involving grading
below topsoil were ever carried out within the study area. Surfaces paved with
interlocking brick, concrete, asphalt, gravel and other surfaces meant to support heavy
loads or to be long wearing hard surfaces in high traffic areas, must be prepared by
the excavation and removal of topsoil, grading, and the addition of aggregate material
to ensure appropriate engineering values for the supporting matrix and also to ensure
that the installations shed water to avoid flooding or moisture damage. All hard
surfaced areas are prepared in this fashion and therefore have no or low
archaeological potential. Disturbed areas are excluded from Stage 2 Property
Assessment due to no or low archaeological potential and often because they are also
not viable to assess using conventional methodology.
3) Building Footprints
Typically, the construction of buildings involves the deep excavation of foundations,
footings and cellars that often obliterate archaeological deposits situated close to the
surface.
There is a structural footprint within the study area. A modern building foundation
was found within the western half of the study area, but it was determined to be too
recent to hold any Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI).
4) Sewage and Infrastructure Development
Installation of sewer lines and other below ground services associated with
infrastructure development often involves deep excavation that can remove
archaeological potential.
There is no evidence to suggest that substantial below ground services of any kind
have resulted in significant impacts to any significant portion of the study area.
Major utility lines are conduits that provide services such as water, natural gas, hydro,
communications, sewage, and others. These major installations should not be
confused with minor below ground service installations not considered to represent
significant disturbances removing archaeological potential, such as services leading to
individual structures which tend to be comparatively very shallow and vary narrow
corridors. Areas containing substantial and deeply buried services or clusters of

below ground utilities are considered areas of disturbance, and may be excluded from
Stage 2 Property Assessment.
"Activities such as agricultural cultivation, gardening, minor grading and landscaping do
not necessarily affect archaeological potential. "
(MTC 2011: 18)
"Archaeological potential is not removed where there is documented potential for deeply
buried intact archaeological resources beneath land alterations, or where it cannot be
clearly demonstrated through background research and property inspection that there has
been complete and intensive disturbance of an area. Where complete disturbance cannot be
demonstrated in Stage 1, it will be necessary to undertake Stage 2 assessment. "
(MTC 2011: 18)
SUMMARY
Table 4 below summarizes the evaluation criteria of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and
Sport (MTCS) together with the results of the Stage 1 Background Study for the proposed
undertaking. Based on the criteria, the property is deemed to have archaeological potential
on the basis the location of early historic settlement roads adjacent to the study area.

8.2 STAGE 2 ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS
Section 7.8.3 of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011:
138-139) outlines the requirements of the Analysis and Conclusions component of a Stage 2
Property Assessment.
1. Summarize all finding from the Stage 2 survey, or state that no archaeological sites
were identified.
2. For each archaeological site, provide the following analysis and conclusions:
a. A preliminary determination, to the degree possible, of the age and cultural
affiliation of any archaeological sites identified.
b. A comparison against the criteria in 2 Stage 2: Property Assessment to determine
whether further assessment is required
c. A preliminary determination regarding whether any archaeological sites identified
in Stage 2 show evidence of a high level cultural heritage value or interest and will
thus require Stage 4 mitigation.
No archaeological sites or resources were found during the Stage 2 survey of the study area.
9.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
9.1 STAGE 1 RECOMMENDATIONS
Under Section 7.7.4 of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC
2011: 133) the recommendations to be made as a result of a Stage 1 Background Study are
described.
1) Make recommendations regarding the potential for the property, as follows:
a. if some or all of the property has archaeological potential, identify
areas recommended for further assessment (Stage 2) and areas not
recommended for further assessment. Any exemptions from further
assessment must be consistent with the archaeological fieldwork
standards and guidelines.
b. if no part of the property has archaeological potential, recommend
that the property does not require further archaeological assessment.
2) Recommend appropriate Stage 2 assessment strategies.
9.2 STAGE 2 RECOMMENDATIONS
Under Section 7.8.4 of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC
2011: 139) the recommendations to be made as a result o f a Stage 2 Property Assessment are
described.

(AMICK File #18562IMTCS File #P058-1659-2018)
1) For each archaeological site, provide a statement of the following:
a. Borden number or other identifying number
b. Whether or not it is of further cultural heritage value or interest
c. Where it is of further cultural heritage value or interest, appropriate
Stage 3 assessment strategies
2) Make recommendations only regarding archaeological matters.
Recommendations regarding built heritage or cultural heritage landscapes
should not be included.
3) If the Stage 2 survey did not identify any archaeological sites requiring
further assessment or mitigation of impacts, recommend that no further
archaeological assessment of the property be required.
As a result of the property Assessment of the study area physical evidence of human activity
in the past was observed but is too recent to qualify as an archaeological resource and is of no
Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI). Accordingly, no archaeological resources were
documented. Consequently, the following recommendations are made:
1. No further archaeological assessment of the study area is warranted;
2. The Provincial interest in archaeological resources with respect to the proposed
undertaking has been addressed;
3. The proposed undertaking is clear of any archaeological concern.

10.0 ADVICE ON COMPLIANCE WITH LEGISLATION
While not part of the archaeological record, this report must include the following standard
advisory statements for the benefit of the proponent and the approval authority in the land
use planning and development process:
a. This report is submitted to the Minister of Tourism and Culture as a condition of
licensing in accordance with Part VI of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.
0.18. The report is reviewed to ensure that it complies with the standards and
guidelines issued by the Minister, and that the archaeological fieldwork and report
recommendations ensure the conservation, protection and preservation of the cultural
heritage of Ontario. When all matters relating to archaeological sites within the
project area of a development proposal have been addressed to the satisfaction of the
Ministry of Tourism and Culture, a letter will be issued by the ministry stating that
there are no further concerns with regard to alterations to archaeological sites by the
proposed development.
b. It is an offence under Sections 48 and 69 of the Ontario Heritage Act for any party
other than a licensed archaeologist to make any alteration to a known archaeological
site or to remove any artifact or other physical evidence of past human use or activity
from the site, until such time as a licensed archaeologist has completed
archaeological fieldwork on the site, submitted a report to the Minister stating that
the site has no further cultural heritage value or interest, and the report has been
filed in the Ontario Public Register of Archaeological Reports referred to in Section
65.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
c. Should previously undocumented archaeological resources be discovered, they may
be a new archaeological site and therefore subject to Section 48 (1) of the Ontario
Heritage Act. The proponent or person discovering the archaeological resources
must cease alteration of the site immediately and engage a licensed archaeologist to
carry out archaeological fieldwork, in compliance with sec. 48 (1) of the Ontario
Heritage Act.
d. The Cemeteries Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C.4 and the Funeral, Burial and Cremation
Services Act, 2002, S. 0. 2002, c.33 (when proclaimed in force) require that any
person discovering human remains must notify the police or coroner and the
Registrar of Cemeteries at the Ministry of Consumer Services.
e. Archaeological sites recommended for further archaeological fieldwork or protection
remain subject to Section 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act and may not be altered,
or have artifacts removed from them, except by a person holding an archaeological
licence.
