It is a wonderful area ,however, there is a vanderlism problem caused by a few individuals (young people) in our parks.I know for a fact that it has been reported to the town, at a cost the town has had to make repairs. I believe if there was a police presence during the evening and night less of this behaviour would occur. J. In addition there are dogs running loose everywhere. I have been at the school bus stop when out of no where 5 dogsOarge) just appeared. I was glad I was there as some of the children were smaller than the dogs. Some of the dogs were know ,none of the owners were present. Think of the possible danger of one dog getting excited the rest foUoweing and the children became the target of their excitement. All this on townshipproperty-Harbourwood Park. This is just one incident of many, Dogs run astay at all hours. Garbage day is a feast. Bags are ripped, garbage ends up aU over the place. My husband does not work on Mondays and in the last few months he has gathered up our neihbours garbage rebaged it on a number of occasions,chased the dogs away ,to await the garbage pick up, God for bid that the garbage person would have to gather up garbage other than what was in a container. It could be right in front of them and they leave it. . There appearsto be no . enforcement by the Township even though legislation exit. This is a serious problem, one 1 believe the Township should be overseeing. I would also like to recommend to Council that a By-Law be enacted that there be a "POOP and SCOOp. by -law. This should pertain to aU subdivisions and aU Parks in the Township. Do you know how many germs and parasites are spread by dog (animal) feces.? This is a Health and litter issue. We see people walk their dogs to the park for the prime purpose for their animals to defecate, leave the feces there and walk home, There are others that pick up after their dog then throw the bag in the park. Every spring my husband has been able to collect a 3/4 fun wheelbarrow wheelbarrow full of dog feces from in front of our yard by the roadway. In addition 1 request that all parks have garbage containers. One should be placed at all entrances and a few within the Parks depending on the park size. This is a simple request, one which exits in most cities and towns. The above mentioned issues are an serious and I believe fan within the Township '5 responsibilties and 1 am requesting that action be taken. I would appreciate it if you would respond in writing.

Parcells [bparcells@rogers.com] Thursday, January 24, 2002 10:59 AM ian.beard@township.oro-medonte.on.ca Harry Hughes By-Law( re Dogs-poop & scoop and leash ) ---' L ~- . ',.., On May 23,2001 a delegation from Harbourwood subdivision met with Council regarding dogs at large in our neighbourhood. There was a lengthy discussion by the Council ,culminating with ' strong support from the Councillors for both a "poop & scoop" and leash By-Law. At that time it was stated that the matter would be referred to staff for formulation. WE left with the understanding that this should be accomplished within three(3) months. It is now January 24,2002 , nine (9) months since that meeting and to date no member of the delegation has been contacted by the Township. Councillor Hughes I know during that time frame has brought the matter to your attention and has queried the lack of action ,yet there is still no action. It would appear there is a breakdown between Council and Township staff or perhaps just incapable staff as this matter is not a complicated issue to address, and should in fact have been dealt with within two (2) months. It was my hope that a letter of this nature would not be necessary but recent incidents have led me to alert you for the need of such a by-law. In the last couple of weeks while driving, my husband, family and I have had near misses with three different dogs dashing out on to the road and having to take evasive action. On two of those occasions narrowly evading an accident. On the third incident after being frightened by the first two upon seeing the darting dog I told my husband to hit the dog as our lives are worth more than his, however he was able to stop the car in time as the road was dry unlike the first two situations . Locations of the incidents were Howard 5t, Elvin 5t, and Lakeshore in the vicinity of the marina. In addition the dogs are loose again on garbage day, one in particular has a feast each of those days, leaving a mess on the roadway. If as stated by the various Councillors that they recognize this to be a serious problem in their respected wards, it begs the question why has nothing been done? B.

Box 100 Oro, Ontario LOL 2XO Dear Mayor Beard and Members of Council: Re: County of Simcoe Weighted Vote vs. Reduction in County Council Composition Please find enclosed the following documentation for your consideration: a) Council Resolution 14-025 passed on February 19, 2002 b) Notice of Motion given at the January 29,2002 County Council meeting c) February 14, 2002 County of Simcoe Performance Management & Strategic Planning Committee Report 02-013 Council has directed that I correspond to all municipalities to provide the above documentation as the February 14,2002 Report 02-013 is contrary to the Notice of Motion. Said County Report continues to propose that there be a dual purpose By-law to deal with implementing a revised weighted vote for the existing 32 members, combined with the controversial issue of reducing the County Council composition by 50%. It is Council's position that had the County followed the legislative requirements and enacted a Weighted Vot.e By-law anytime after December 1996, it clearly would have been a By-law with one sole purpose; being a weighted vote for the 32 member council. There was not and is not any reason why this one issue cannot proceed by way Qf a separate and distinct By-law, which sole purpose is to establish a weighted vote formula for the 32 members. Further, there is no reason to believe that there wiIJ be any difficulty in achieving the required triple majority consent on this single purpose By-law. ----_.._~ ~- ;r/ Februal)' 20, 2002 Re: County of Simcoe Weighted Vote vs. Reduction in County Council Composition Page 2 Council fails to understand why the County continues to propose combining this non- controversial issue with the controversial By-law that proposes to reduce the County Council composition, particularly when the County has acknowJedged the very real potential that the controversial By-law may never be enacted due to failure to obtain the required triple majority consent. In closing, we would ask that you consider whether it is in the best interests of the residents of the County or its member municipalities for the County to continue to pursue a proposal which the County has reason to believe will fail. The need to bring forward a weighted vote formula for the 32 members is a direct resuJt of an error made by the County. It is the Town's position that this error can successfully be corrected if the County would simply bring forward one By-law that deals solely with a weighted formula for the 32 members. Until such time as the County is successful in enacting a By-law to reduce the council composition, there remains the need to ensure proper representation based on current electorate information, thus the need for one By-law, which sole purpose is to establish a weighted vote formula for the 32 member council.

Bonany (original signed) Seconded by: M. Toombs (original signed) "Re: January 29, 2002 Notice of Motion - County Council - Weighted Vote By-law Be it resolved that the Council for the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury fully endorses the Notice of Motion that Deputy Mayor Roughley gave at the January 29, 2002 County Council meeting. That in accordance with arguments made by the County at the January 2002 Court proceedings, we support the County position that there must be a consistent democratic approach, and failure to enact a Weighted Vote By-law "would be an eroding of the weighted votes assigned to those municipalities of the County that were growing in population faster than others", That in order to ensure the County asserted goals are fulfilled, it is necessary for the Weighted Vote By-law to be separate and distinct from the controversial issue of reducing the composition of County Council. That it is inappropriate to combine both issues in one By-law as the written decision of Judge Weekes acknowledges that the County asserted that there is no assurance the County would ever be able to secure the required triple majority consent. . That in the event both issues are combined in one By-law, and in the event the County cannot secure the triple majority consent, there will remain the outstanding issue that there are 32 members whose weighted vote is based on 1994 electorate information. A continuation of the weighted vote based on the 1994 electorate information would be contrary to the assertion made by the County in the Court proceedings, namely that it advocates a democratic approach which ensures representation by population for its 32 members."

J ITEM FOR; PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND STRATEGIC PLANNING COJ.\llMITTEE SECTION: ITEM NO. 1\lEETING DATE: SUBJECT; \Varden and Council PMSP 02-013 February 14, 2002 Proposed By-law to Change the Composition and Size of County Council and Provide for the Allocation of Weighted Votes = RECOMMENDATJON: THAT the draft by-law presented in 20011O change the composition and size of Council and to establisl} the allocation of votes among Council members be revised in Section 4, which establishes the number of votes given to any member, and in Section 5 which establishes the effective date of the by-law, to bring Section 4 into effect immediately upon receiving the "trip le majority" approval pursuant to Section 26 of The Municipal Act, and to recognize the division of weighted votes among 32 members of Council until December 1 51, 2003; AND THAT a pubHc meeting, as required by The Municipal Act, be: held as part of the Coumy Council meeting on Tuesday March 26,2002; AND TRA T the necessary public notice be given for that mee6ng. BACKGROUND: On January 29,2002, County Council received the report of the Performance Management and Strategic Plaoning Committee under Item PMSP 02-008, outlining the decision of the Superior Court of Justice on the method of weighted voting at County Co unci 1. The decision c.onfim1ed that, until a by-law regarding the matter is passed under Section 26 of The Municipal Act, the number of weighted votes assigned to members of County Council should stand at the number in effect as of December, 1996. That number is 108. Given the growth in population that has occurred in the County since 1996, interest has been expressed by members of Council to take the necessary action to restore the fOJI1mla for determining weighted votes as soon as practical, and not to wait until December 1, 2003_ In addition, a Notic.e of Motion was presented to County Council at its January 29!h meeting stating that: "NOW THEREFORE County Council direct that one By-1aw be prepared for the purpose of establishing a weighted vote formula for 32 members, and "a separate"By-law be prepared for the purpose of detennining the future proposed " reduction in the composition of County Council", . - ---. Febmary 14, 2002 Performance MaDagement & Strategic Planning PMSP 02-013 Page 2 ? / 5C...v lJ1 the preambles of the Notice of Motion it was stateq that County Council desires to increase the weighted vote for its existing 32 members as a result of the recent Court decision, and that a legislative requirement to hQld a public meeting must be fulfilled. The public meeting that was held in August, 2001 proposed a By-law that would change the composition and size of County Council and provide for the allocation of votes (weighted vote fonnula). The legislative requirements under Section 26 were fulfill~d fOT the intent at that time. Staff had requested a legal opinion on how the County should now proceed. In summary, in order to bring the voting formula into effect prior to December 1, 2003, a second public meeting must be held to present a revised by-law to the public. In addition, jt is confirmed that the desired revision can be accomplished by passing one by-law, incorporating two effective dates (one for the voting formuJa and a later one for the reduction in the size of Council). ill fact, our lawyers recommend passing only one by-law to cover aJJ these matters, as two by~laws would require two more public meetings which could lead to confnsion among the public as to Cou.ncil's intent, and also to potential uncertainty under Section 26 ofthe Act. To restore the method of calcula.tion using the most current nu.mber of electors, and in part, to address the fundamental basis of the Notjce of Motion, the following process could achieve this expeditiously and be less subject to legal challenge: · Revise the proposed By-law to incorporate two effective dates. The allocation of votes (weighted voting) would be effective immediately upon receiving the "triple majority". The change in composition and size of council (reduction from 32 to 16) would also be effective upon receiving the "triple majority" but not in force until December 1, 2003. · Give proper notice and hold a public meetil1g as soon as is practicaL The public meeting could be held on the same day as a County Council meeting. This would eliminate extra per djem and.mileage costs. Advertising expenses are estimated at approximately $1,200.00. · The By-law would then be presented to Council for support. The fonuula for the weighted votes would be confinned, based upon Clerk's Certificates being submitted using the number of municipal electors con finned ITom the 2000 election. The majority of the member municipalities would need to pass resolutions consenting to the by-law, and those municipalities must represent the majority of the county electors (triple majority) FINANCIAL ANALYSIS; AdvertisiDg Costs - $1,200.00 SCHEDULES: There are no schedules to this Report.

Essentially, there is consensus to delist on every use impairment but the fish community. However, there is consensus that there are factors that have come into play since Stage 2 due to harvest and zebra mussels. It is felt that delisting can proceed if there are commitments from other agencies for the future. Rimi Kalinauskas noted that the Technical Review Team has reached consensus with regard to fish communities. Keith Shennan stated that the Draft Document will go to the Technical Review Team through Rimi Kalinauskas and the SSEA members will receive a copy for their review. ".

Fourth Quarterly Report for 2001 4.. ./ .. ~ '~ .....) ci ----- · Approval of Report Keith Sherman asked that the 4th Quarter Report be received for information purposes rather than approval as some items have not yet been entered. Revenues: This is a draft statement as some items are still being posted to our books in the Town of Midland system. The year end statement will be available for approval at the next quarterly meeting. Bill Thompson asked ifthere will be any adjustments made to the final statement. Keith Sherman stated that we will have to examine the "Private/Community" amount in the future. Expenditures: This is a draft statement and there are going to be some minor adjustments before the year end statement. Keith commented on a few expenditures. · GIS base coverages amount represents time spent on these databases. It is a major expense, but an excellent asset.. · Requests and Reviews are a possible source of future revenue. We could declare a "fee schedule" for the County and Municipalities for specific work that isn't included in normal SSEA work with the municipalities and those charges could be passed back to developers. Bill Thompson commented that members have to be aware that the SSEA is a valuable resource. David Parks stated that there should be an aggregate service for membership in the SSEA and rriunicipalities don't want to be billed for phone calls etc. Keith Sherman assured members that the fee schedule would not include "nonnal" SSEA services to municipalities. · There have been a high number of reports produced during the 2001 year and that is reflected in the Produce Reports expenditure. · The invoice for Flow Stations has not come in yet and Keith stated that the amount will either have to be put into the 2002 budget or Accounts Receivable in transition. Bill Thompson asked for a footnote on the 2001 year end report on that item and Bob Coryell agreed that it should remain in the 2001 books. · In draft, we have a slight deficit of$1,400.00. MOTION: Moved by Bob Coryell, seconded by Ralph Hough, to receive the draft 4th Quarter Report as infonnation. CARRIED. · Approval of Cheque Register Cheque register items: · The Honey Harbour Survey of Water Supplies is a project on behalf of the District of Muskoka and Township of Georgian Bay, We have surveyed all property owners for well or intake of surface water. We took "raw" quality water. Resorts and marinas were also -3- r .i~/.? I r jr '"la ./'0 ~' ! included in the survey. We have selected wells and intakes for sampling water quality and those numbers will be analyzed and reported. This gives a "picture of water resources" for planning purposes and information for the general public. The new legislation is still unknown with regard to "small waterworks operations" but we will be providing an interim report to the municipalities and will suggest additional sampling for the coming season. · Paul Maurice inquired about the Wye Marsh Inventory Project. Keith explained the project and added that we were laying the framework for a complete biological inventory in the future for the Wye Valley. · Ralph Hough inquired about the GBA Foundation aerial photos. Keith explained that we purchased copies of Honey Harbour photos for the Honey Harbour project. Ralph Hough suggested a company in Oro-Medonte "Eye in the Sky" should we require future aerial photos. · The amount paid to Dixon Hydrogeology relates to the Municipal Groundwater Study and that amount will be recovered as all nine municipalities involved in the study have been invoiced equally for that amount. MOTION: Moved by David Parks to approve the cheque register for the 4th Quarter, seconded by Mike Mayotte. CARRIED · Overview of Quarter Keith Sherman presented the Quarterly Activity Report from the Severn Sound Environmental Association Implementation Office for infonnation purposes. Bill Thompson commented that this report only shows the "highlights" and has seen for himself that the daily schedule is overwhelming. Keith agreed that this report only reflects public events and that there a number of day to day activities and projects that are not listed such as the databases, ongoing regular monitoring. These items are not "exciting" until they are summarized in reports and the changes are evident. Keith did comment on one of the items - Regent Public School has received a lot of recognition and attention on behalf of the Severn Sound RAP. Bill Thompson commented that much of the thanks goes to Paul DeVillers for finding funding for the students which allowed them to attend the Montreal Forum. Members also received a Forecast of Revenues as information. The "Status" column refers to the status of each project. "C" is completed, "R" is rejected and "D" is deferred until 2002. The Log Salvage project is an example of a rejected project. Although some of the work was approved, funding for additional sampling was rejected. Bill Thompson took a moment to fonnally introduce Laurie Schutt, the new Executive Director of the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre and newest member of the SSEA. He welcomed her and congratulated her on accepting the position at the Wye Marsh. -4- -ur :'.II1m.u!m!~-tI'!1[ Tr.c:..

Budget for 2002 Keith Sherman noted that the budget presented is an interim proposal or draft. He wishes that the budget could be increased but recognized the commitments already in place. Members signed the new three year agreement in 2001 with municipal amounts set in that existing agreement for those years. Some of the costs have increased, therefore increasing expenses in the budget. The main employees of the Severn Sound Environmental Association are Town of Midland employees and they recently received raises. Flow station costs will also be increasing but Keith is trying to find partners to assist with those additional costs. Bob Coryell questioned the dollar amount of Private Projects compared to Community/Public. He stated that if we cannot reach the goal for Community/Public, the amount. should be changed to reflect a more reasonable amount. Keith Sherman stated that a revised forecast of revenues will be included in the budget. Ralph Hough commented that Keith Sherman is an administrator, not a fundraiser therefore we need to be more realistic with fundraising and we should get our heads together to get some ideas on how to help. Bill Thompson suggested a small Subcommittee, such as the one that put together the new Mission Statement, to meet and discuss fundraising. Ralph Houg~ Mike Mayotte and Bob Coryell volunteered to sit on the Fundraising Subcommittee. MOTION: Moved by Bob Coryell to approve the interim budget for 2002, seconded by Paul Maurice. CARRIED 6. Other Business · Partner '8 Reception Keith Sherman explained the purpose of the Annual Partner's Reception and two dates were put forward to the members: Thursday, March 28,2002 and Friday, April 5, 2002. It was decided that the date of the reception would depend on Paul DeVillers' schedule and either date was fine with the members. · Website Michele Locke did a short presentation on the SSEAlSSRAP website she is working on. Public education and interaction on environmental issues is imperative and a large part of the. work done by the Severn Sound Environmental Association. A web site specifically designed and maintained by the Severn Sound Environmental Association will be an important educational tool and will allow many people access to our information and publications. There will be links to each SSEA member's website and in turn the Severn Sound website will offer the environmental information -5- L;,/ .: /, ~~ ~ that municipal residents and employees need. The annual cost for the website will only be $85.00 which includes the domain name www.sevemsound.ca and web hosting at Compusolve. We anticipate a good public response to the website. Links ",ill be forwarded to members so that they can review it and make comments before we officially launch the site. Keith is hoping to find some project funding for the website in the future. David Parks suggested that we move toward less paper in the future and start using email more for SSEA correspondence. Keith Shennan stated that we will make a commitment to becoming more electronic, We have tried this approach with the Public Advisory Committee and 80% of the mailing list is now through email only. Ralph Hough agreed with this approach. He only receives his mail from the Township Office once a week therefore email would be his preferred method for receiving correspondence. · Municipal Groundwater Study Keith Sherman updated members on the North Simcoe Municipal Groundwater Study. There is a commitment from nine municipalities to participate in the Groundwater Study. The Ministry of the Environment (MaE) wants seamless groundwater mapping and they don't have much information on Simcoe County. A Steering Committee made up of municipal planners and public works supervisors was set up and have met a number of times. A Letter ofConfinnation was sent to the MaE from the SSEA on behalf of the nine municipalities and the letter was accepted by the MaE. Garfield Dunlop announced the $602,000.00 North Simcoe project in November and also announced the SSEA as the lead for this project. MOE is funding 85% of the project with the municipalities paying the remaining 15%. Unfortunately, the province will not allow the SSEA to take any money for the administration of this project but there are some components of this project that the SSEA Office will have to handle and Keith is hopeful that it can somehow be billed back to the project. To date, a request for a Letter ofInterest was sent to 27 consultants and from the respondents, a short list of four consultants was approved by the Steering Committee. Those consultants will receive a Request for Proposal, which has to be approved by the MaE, and will be presenting to a Selection Committee in February. . There is also a collaboration with the Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority and the Nottawasaga Valley. Conservation Authority. There is a 5km buffer incorporated into the study as the results must be seamless. Bill Thompson commented that as the lead of this project, the SSEA is providing a valuable service to member municipalities and to the MaE. Keith Shennan stated that there some benefits to being the lead for this project, but he has yet to figure out what they are. If the SSEA hadn't been at the first meeting, others, with little -6- ~ '.""~-'-~ 5 c/-::; experience with or knowledge of North Simcoe would be handling the project. The fact that the SSEA was granted the lead ensures that others know we exist and it proves that the SSEA has continued value. Bill Thompson agreed and noted that this will allow for creative public relations work with the MaE and may offer future opportunities, David Parks inquired if this project will cost the SSEA anything and Keith Shennan assured him that he wouldn't allow that. This should be a benefit to member municipalities without any cost. Keith Sherman also noted that the SSEA will retain a copy of the deliverables for this project as well as Simcoe County and MaE. . Ralph Hough commented that the Township ofOro-Medonte portion ofthe Municipal Groundwater study involves three organizations including SSEA, LSCA and the NVCA. The Township is very committed to their partnership with the Severn Sound Environmental Association. Keith Sherman stated that as the project unfolds, there will be reports back to the SSEA and there is a requirement for public meetings so that members and residents will be kept informed of the process. 7. Next Meeting and Adjournment Meetings were scheduled for the following year as follows: 1st Quarter Meeting - April 19, 2002 2nd Quarter Meeting - July 19,2002, 3rd Quarter Meeting - October 18, 2002 and 4th Quarter Meeting - January 24,2003.

A better solution would be as above #1, #2: 1) Amend the present official plan and present controls to protect residences and farms a specific number of feet away (example, within 1200' of an adjacent border) with buffering/screening guidelines - have it apply to all existing industries as well as future ones 2) Encourage Duncor and Vandergeest to plant at least two rows of mature evergreen trees along the south side of Dun cor's recently erected wire mesh fence continuing along the south border of Vandergeest's property and any future industrial growth adjoining my borders 3) If the above two are not possible within a reasonable length of time (by the fall of2002) then I would suggest financial and physical planning and assistance from Council in planting at least two rows of mature i.e. 7-8' evergreen trees along the adjacent fence border on my side taking into account the seedlings already planted there. This may be the most cost effective and environmentally friendly solution. Since no other possible solutions relating to the buffering/screening being placed on my property were considered by me or discussed at the meeting, I would suggest the berm being built on my property be put on hold for now and two or more rows of mature evergreen trees be planted along the fence border (between my property and EricAnna) on my side beside the existing seedlings (40 are left and are about one foot high) with Oro's assistance. Of course I would be open to other solutions as they pertain to being placed on my property to protect my residence and agricultural land from the offending industrial properties.

Although I have yet to read the decision, it was probably the right decision in the end. As you know, I supported the application primarily because the well was already there and I wanted to find a way to control the water taking. The only way to get that control, in my opinion, was to approve a plant and enter into agreements with the owner to provide a mechanism whereby the water taking could be monitored. I continue to believe that the process would have given the Township more control over the use. As it stands now, the well is still there, the trucks continue to roll and the Township has no control. If the well was not there to start with, I would not have supported the application, The key, in the future, is to never find ourselves, as a Township, in this situation again. This means being extra vigilant with water taking applications and making sure the Township comments on these applications when they are posted for public review. This process was not available to the Township when Gold Mountain obtained their initial permit. Staff now carry out this task, ensuring that Gold Mountain #2 does not happen again. Talk to you soon. Nick McDonald ... ~b-/ TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE OFFICE OF THE CLERK lREP?RT :0 C~UNCIL I . REPORT NO.: ADM2002-07 PREPARED BY: M. Pennycook, Clerk DATE: February 27, 2002 SUBJECT: Road Name Change - 5/6 Side road IBACKGROUND I At Committee of the Whole on February 13, 2002, correspondence was received from the Board of Deacons of Calvary Community Church requesting a name change to the 5/6 Sideroad. The name suggested for the road is "Calvary Road". This request was referred to staff for a report. 'ANALYSIS I The 5/6 Sideroad is approximately 4.2 km in length from Highway 93 easterly, crossing the First Line and then turning south to Ridge Road. A map of the road is attached for information. In order to rename this road, it would be necessary to advertise the intent to rename in the newspaper for four consecutive weeks for an approximate cost of $1000.00. Additionally, signage at Highway 93, First Line and Ridge Road would have to be changed and the cost borne by the Township. After canvassing the surrounding municipalities, it was found that the City of Grillia has a street named "Calverley Street". The Township's Street Naming Policy states that duplication of street names used in adjacent municipalities shall be minimized as not to conflict with emergency response addresses. For the above reasons, it is recommended that the name of the 5/6 Sideroad remain unchanged. (RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council receive and adopt this report. 2. That the name of the 5/6 Sideroad remain unchanged. 3. That the Board of Deacons of Calvary Community Church be advised of Council's decision.

The discussions with yourself have been most helpful to us in planning the vision that God has for our local church community. The announcement that the road will be paved in the summer of 2002, was well received by our church cong reg ation. During our meeting with yourself, you mentioned that the re-naming of the road could be done, should we submit a proposal to the Township. Upon review, we would like to submit that the name be changed to .. Calvary Road". Please advise us, as to what steps need to be taken on our behalf, in having the road name changed. Again, we thank you for your time and insight, and look forward to hearing from you on the proposal of changing the road name.

REPORT ! i ~. i ! DEPT. REPORT TO: Council PREPARED BY: #ES2002-G7 Keith Mathieson SUBJECT & FilE #: DEPARTMENT: COUNCil: Draft "Water and Sediment Public Works Survey of Bass lake" - C. OF W. Prepared by Mr. Keith Sherman, Co-Ordinator of the MOTION #: Severn Sound Environmental DATE: Association DATE: February 22, 2002 During the winter of 2000, a number of meetings were held with the Honourable Mr. Garfield Dunlop, M.P.P.; Members of Township Council; Township staff; Mr. Keith Sherman, Severn Sound Environmental Association; M.N.R. staff; and Mr. Doug Herbert, Bass Lake Property Owners' Association, with regards to improving the water quality of Bass Lake. Mr. Herbert and his Association presented two (2) proposals at these meetings to remove sediment from Bass Lake, which would be funded through private fundraising and possible Provincial grants. From these meetings, it was felt that core samples should be taken from the bottom of Bass Lake to analyze the concentration of phosphorous sediments of Bass Lake during the winter of 2001, prior to dredging or aeration of the lake. This work was co-ordinated by Mr. Keith Sherman of Severn Sound Environmental Association and Mr. Doug Herbert, Director, Bass Lake Ratepayers' Association, and funded by the Township of Oro-Medonte. Mr. Sherman has provided a draft Report entitled, "A Water and Sediment Survey of Bass Lake" dated January 16, 2002, which is attached for Council perusal. Under "Results and Discussion" (pages 5 and 6), Mr. Sherman is suggesting that the proposal to dredge or aerate the lake would result in the degrading of the water quality of Bass Lake. Mr. Sherman's conclusions and recommendations are outlined on page ten (10) of the Report. The financial implications to the Township of Mr. Sherman's recommendations would be the cost of the open water quality sampling in five (5) years to be considered during the appropriate Budget deliberations. ) Mr. Sherman will be attending the Regular Committee of the Whole Meeting on February 27,2002 to answer any questions that Council may have with regards to this Report. -1- q ~'J/ 1.

Further, the low bottom water oxygen conditions monitored in 1996 (Gernza and Aubrey 1999) could lead to. an increase in the net release of sediment bound nutrients into the water column. Although the water quality conditions of Bass Lake have been monitored since the 1970's, the sensitivity of Bass Lake to nutrient inputs and the impact of in-lake management actions such as dredging lake sediments on the Lake have not been examined. This report will describe the sediment and water quality conditions in Bass Lake, Township ofOro-Medonte, in relation to nutrient sources. Bass Lake is located at the headwaters of the North River in the Severn Sound watershed and is situated on the edge ofthe Oro Moraine. The Lake has a surface area of5.49 km2, a volume of18.8 million m3, mean depth of3.4 m and a maximum depth of8.5 m. The lake has a drainage area of 40.88 km2. The area receives recreational use including cottages, trailer parks, swimming, boating and fishing. Sediment and water sampling took place on March 6,2001 through the ice at four locations and at an additional site on November 22, 2001. Sediment cores were sectioned into 2-cm sections :from o to 10 cmdepth and then in 5-cm sections ftom 10 em to the bottom of the core (as deep as 75 cm). A deeper layer of elevated organic matter (LOI) and elevated ammonia in sediment pore waters was found below a moderately enriched layer (30 em thick) just below the sediment surface, indicating that recent sediment deposition was relatively cleaner as compared to sediment deposited during past. The deeper layer may result from past logging activities in the Lake basin. Metal values for Bass Lake sediments were below or slightly above the lowest effect level (LEL) of the Sediment Quality Guidelines indicating sediment that has quality typical for the relatively clean sediment in the area. There is no indication that additional bioassessment of the sediment in Bass Lake is required if left intact. Open water quality was monitored bi-weekly from May 15 to October 2 at the deepest point in the lake, site BL. Water clarity was measured using the Secchi disk visibility. Profiles of dissolved oxygen, temperature and conductivity were collected along with samples of nutrients, chlorophyll a, phytoplankton and zooplankton. Secchi disk visibility was improved over historical values from typical mean values of2 m to 3.8 m in 2001. The improvement may relate to the infestation of the exotic zebra mussel in recent years. A temperature gradient was apparent occasionally through the summer but was apparently broken down by wind and wave action between sampling runs allowing the deep bottom waters to be reaerated from above. The dissolved oxygen in the bottom waters fluctuated through the sunnner and reached a minimum of2 mgIL The lack of hydrogen sulphide odour (the rotten egg smell) in the bottom water samples through 2001 suggesting that the bottom waters were sufficiently oxygenated to prevent anaerobic conditions and the build up of phosphorus or ammonia from the iv \. .. ,()j A h,...J ./\0'\ y" \ sediments. If the sediments were polluted with excessive organic matter and high concentrations of mtrogen and phosphorus, an accumulation of nutrients in the bottom waters overlying the sediment would be expected as well as much higher phosphorus and mtrogen concentrations in the surficial sediment. However, the findings in this survey suggest that this is not the case in Bass Lake. There is little accumulation of ammonia or phosphorus in the bottom waters overlying the sediment in winter or in summer when bottom water dissolved oxygen reaches a minimum concentration and relatively low concentrations of phosphorus in the sediments of Bass Lake. Based on Secchi disk visibility, phosphorus concentration and chloropyll a concentration, Bass Lake was considered meso trophic or moderately enriched. The Ontario Trophic Status Model was used to predict existing conditions and to examine the sensitivity of the Lake to changes in phosphorus input, Bass Lake is sensitive to nutrient enrichment based on expected changes to the watershed and based on the potential for extended anoxic conditions in the bottom waters that will promote release of nutrients from the deep water sediments. With a concerted effort to control sources of phosphorus to the lake, it is possible to reverse some of the effects of historical loadings on the lake and prevent further deterioration. The lake trophic status and the sensitivity of the lake to changes in loadings do not appear to warrant such drastic action as lake sediment dredging. The sediment measurement of this survey confirm that organic matter and phosphorus concentrations in surficial sediment are not polluted and should be left intact. v I ' ' e-:: ,,,- f f INTRODUCTION The Township ofOro- Medonte was approached by the Bass Lake Ratepayers Association concerning water quality concerns with the Lake and proposed large scale in-lake management techniques such as dredging mud from the lake bed as a possible option for improving lake quality. The Severn Sound Environmental Association was contracted by the Township to conduct a survey ofthe lake sediment and water quality conditions and to make recommendations on management action. Concerns with the water quality of Bass Lake included the effects of nutrient enrichment on Bass Lake such as nuisance algae growths and poor oxygen conditions in the bottom waters of the lake that could adversely affect fish and other aquatic life, Further, the low bottom water oxygen conditions monitored in 1996 (Gernza and Aubrey 1999) could lead to an increase in the net release of sediment bound nutrients into the water column. Although the water quality conditions of Bass Lake have been monitored since the 1970's, the sensitivity of Bass Lake to nutrient inputs and the impact of in-lake management actions such as dredging lake sediments on the Lake have not been examined. This report will descn"be the sediment and water quality conditions in Bass Lake, Township ofOro-Medonte, in relation to nutrient sources. The purposes of this report are to: 1. describe the water quality conditions in 2001 in comparison with historical water quality conditions 2. estimate the relative sources of phosphorus and predict the open water phosphorus concentrations 3. descn"be the relative sensitivity of the Lake to phosphorus supply and recommend a phosphorus control strategy 4. measure sediment quality in order to assess proposed in-lake management techniques for improving Bass Lake water quality. This document does not deal with protection and enhancement of nearshore habitat and bathing quality. However, these important aspects of environmental quality will benefit from a better understanding of the open water quality status and sensitivity of the Lake. BASS LAKE AREA Bass Lake is located at the headwaters of the North River in the Severn Sound watershed and is situated on the edge of the Oro Moraine. The Lake has a surface area of 5.49 km2, a volume of 18.8 million m3, mean depth of 3.4 m and a maximum depth of 8.5 ill. The lake has a drainage area of 40.88 km2 (Figure 1). The area is underlain by limestone bedrock and has an overburden geology dominated. by glacial outwash and sands and gravel of the Oro Moraine. The soils are well drained in upland areas of the watershed. Poorly drained muck soils associated with historical or existing wetland areas are located west, south and downstream of the Lake, 1 .. ~ , ~ /l.~ .. "-"'''''- "!it r'i, ;"l .~ i/ The area receives recreational use including cottages, trailer parks, swimming, boating and fishing. The immediate shoreline of the Lake has 212 permanent and seasonal shoreline dwellings that are serviced by individual private sewage systems. Big Cedar Estates is a year-round trailer park located at the Southwest end of the Lake with up to 230 trailer homes serviced by a communal spray irrigation sewage system. Bass Lake Provincial Park is a recreational park located on the south side of the Lake with approximately 250 summer only camp sites. The Provincial Park has a septic tank pit system with liquids discharged to holding lagoons. Solids are hauled from the system by licenced haulers out of the watershed (Figure 2). A municipally owned beach is located at the eastern end of the Lake. The Provincial Park has an organized beach along the south shore. Swimming also occurs at a road allowance on the south side of the Lake at the Concession 13 road allowance. There is an extensive provincially significant wetland located at the western end of the Lake and another wetland immediately south of the Lake. METHODS Sediment sampJing 2001 Sediment and water sampling took place on March 6,2001 through the ice and an additional site was sampled on November 22,2001. Sediment core samples were obtained at five locations from the deep area of the lake in order to compare sediment and pore water quality (pore water is the water that occupies the spaces between the sediment particles) in the deeper lake bed subject to low oxygen conditions (between the deepest point, 8.5 m up to depths of 5 m). Sampling locations are shown on Figure 2. Samples were collected using a modified benthos corer. Cores were sectioned into 2- em sections from 0 to 10 cm depth and then in 5-cm sections ftom 10 cm to the bottom of the core (as deep as 75 em). At the main lake station (BL) the cores taken were sectioned in 2-cm sections to the bottom of the core obtained. Core sections were centrifuged to separate the water ftom the solids for analysis of ammonia in interstitial water, Duplicate sections were analyzed for loss on ignition (LOI, a measure of organic content of the sediment), total phosphorus and metals. Sampling support, water and sediment analyses were provided by staff of Environment Canada's National Water Research Institute. Water Quality On March 6, 2001 and on November 22,2001, the water column was sampled to within a meter off bottom using a Hydrolab Pro:fi1er for temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and pH. Water samples ftom one meter depth and within one meter off bottom (5 m) were collected on March 6, 2001 using a van Dorn bottle and analysed for nutrients (total phosphorus, soluble phosphate, ammonia., nitrate). 2 ...""~, ";",d; Open water quality was monitored bi-weekly from May 15 to October 2 at the deepest point in the lake, site BL. During each sample run a euphotic zone composite sample (2 times the Secchi disc measurement) and a grab sample using a van Dorn Bottle at 1 m ofIbottom were collected. Water samples were tested for chlorophyll ~ (only in composite sample), total phosphorus, soluble reactive phosphorus or phosphate, ammonia, total Kjeldahl nitrogen and nitrate. Analyses of water samples were carried out at the Ministry of the Environment using standard analytical methods. In addition, a separate composite sample was collected for identification and estimation of phytoplankton biovolume. Vertical profiJes of temperature and dissolved oxygen and conductivity were obtained using a YSI model 50 dissolved oxygen meter and a YSI model 3000 TLC conductivity meter. Zooplankton were collected using a conical plankton net towed vertically through the water column from the bottom to the surface. Zooplankton samples were preserved and sent to a contractor (Sue Stanke) for identification, enumeration and estimation of biomass. The method used for zooplankton was similar to that used by Gernza and Aubrey (1999). Trophic status model approach The Ontario Trophic Status Model (TSM, Dillon, et al. 1986 ) was used to predict existing conditions and to examine the sensitivity of the Lake to changes in phosphorus input. The TSM was developed for small, stratified, Precambrian Shield lakes. The model equates the change in phosphorus concentration in a lake over time with the phosphorus input per unit lake volume minus the phosphorus loss through sedimentation and outflow (Dillon et aL 1986; Hutchinson et al. 1991). Hutchinson et al. (1991) indicate that use of the TSM for areas outside the geographic area for which it was developed can be made, provided measurement and validation of phosphorus export figures and phosphorus retention coefficient are achieved. The model has been adapted for use in Severn Sound through the use of direct measurements and estimates of local phosphorus loads and comparison of measured quality with predicted quality (Sherman and Brown 1995). The model data sources were augmented with infonnation collected in the area through the Severn Sound Environmental Association Office. The TSM model recognizes two conditions that affect phosphorus retention in a lake. 1. where bottom water dissolved oxygen is not depleted - the oxic condition 2. where bottom water dissolved oxygen is depleted to at or near 0.0 mg 02/L - the anoxic condition. Either of these conditions could apply to Bass Lake depending on the severity of oxygen depletion in the deeper area of the Lake. Predicted total phosphorus was evaluated using both conditions. 3 . . '! /~JV\ Data Sources Open water quality Open water quality was sampled during the ice-free period from 1973 to 2001. Most of the measurements were taken by cottagers through the Ministry of the Environment (MaE) Self Help Program. More comprehensive sampling was carried out during a study by the University ofT oronto (Zimmennan et al. 1983) from 1978 to 1980. The Ministry of the Environment sampled the Lake in 1996 (Gernza and Aubrey, 1999). Members of the Bass Lake Cottage Association have been involved in the MOE Lake Partner Program since 1996. Lake Partner Program data from 1998, 1999 and 2000 were available for total phosphorus and Secchi disc visibility in Bass Lake. The 2001 water quality survey data from this study was also induded in the modelling analysis. Precipitation and atmospheric phosphorus supply Long-term average precipitation from the Atmospheric Environment Service station at Orillia was used. Long-term average evaporation was obtained using Dillon et al. (1986). A long-term bulk. deposition value of20.7 mg/m2.year was used for total phosphorus loading from the atmosphere to the Lake surface (:from Dillon et al. 1993). Morphometric and Hydrologic information The drainage basin for Bass Lake was delineated using:MNR OBM 1:10,000 topographic maps supplemented with air photo interpretation of the drainage divide by Severn Sound Environmental Association GIS staff. Long-term flow data from the North lliver station (02ED024) was available :trom 1989 to 2000. The mean daily flow was converted to a runoff value of 0.331 m/y. The surface inflows are generally associated with the wetland areas to the west and south of the lake. The upland to the south ofthe Lake is part of the Oro Moraine, a source of ground water recharge/discharge to the lake. Shoreline Development and Watershed land use Shoreline development was obtained from the TO"WI1Ship ofOro-Medonte Property Assessment data and through interviews with the Trailer Park staff and Provincial Park staff. Changes in land use of the watershed were examined in a series of air photos from the Ministry ofNatural Resources (1953, 1971, 1989, 1998). All shoreline properties were grouped as seasonal residential units, residential units (assumed permanent), vacant registered lots and camp ground units or trailer units (Appendix 5). Analysis of historical air photos for the Bass Lake watershed indicated that the proportion offorest cover in the watershed has changed very little. This is because planting of trees has offset removal offorest cover. Cultivated fann land and pasture have been reduced since 1953 and replaced with urban or estate residential type development, especially north east of the lake. Changes in shoreline 4 . ..... I)- ,,,, t development appear to be slow. However, the conversion of older cottage style dwellings to pennanent dwellings and increases in water use have increased the impact that shoreline dwellings can have on the lake. Based on measurements and estimates of total phosphorus loads from various land uses in the Severn Sound area ( Severn Sound RAP 1993, SSRAP unpublished), unit total phosphorus export values (kglkm2.yr) were applied to various land uses in the Bass Lake watershed to estimate the watershed sources of total phosphorus to the Lake. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Sediment Quality Loss on ignition (LOI) values were relatively low in the first 30 em of sediment and increased in the deeper sections, indicating a deeper layer of higher organic content below the depth that would influence the water column of the Lake (Figure 3a-d). The longest core was 75 em and extended into clay at the bottom indicating that the mud deposits in Bass Lake had a thickness of approximately 75 em. The deeper layer ofhigher LOI may be due to organic matter deposited during the period of intensive logging of the Bass Lake watershed (date???). Ammonia values in the sediment pore water (the water in the spaces between the sediment particles) ranged from 0.6 to 5 mgIL in the top 10 cmofsediment (2-cmseetions) and increased below or 5-cm sections from 0 to 30 em below the sediment surface and within 30 em below the sediment surface. In four ofthe five cores the ammonia concentrations increased to values up to 11 mgIL in the more organic layer deeper in the sediment (Figure). The water samples from above bottom had ammonia concentrations less than 0.005 mgIL. Ammonia was measured in the sediment pore water at concentrations 100 times higher than in the overlying water column. The concentration was even higher in the deeper sediments. It would appear that release of this ammonia to the overlying lake water is insufficient to cause ammonia accumulation in the bottom waters. Total phosphorus in the sediment was relatively low at the sediment surface and generally decreased with depth indicating relatively low phosphorus content. Table 1 shows the mean values of metals found in the top four em of sediment from four locations in the Lake as compared to the Provincial Sediment Quality Guidelines. For comparison, median sediment metal concentrations found by the Geological Survey of Canada in a large number oflake sediment samples from the region and mean values for Penetang Bay. Metal concentrations for Bass Lake sediments were below or slightly above the lowest effect level (LEL) of the Sediment Quality Guidelines indicating sediment that has quality typical for the relatively clean sediment in the area. There is no indication that additional bioassessment of the sediment in Bass Lake is required ifleft intact. 5 . . \u /'\4/ If the sediments were polluted with excessive organic matter and high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus, an accumulation of nutrients in the bottom waters overlying the sediment would be expected as well as much higher phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations in the surficial sediment. However, the findings in this survey suggest that this is not the case in Bass Lake. There is little accumulation of ammonia or phosphorus in the bottom waters overlying the sediment in wiilter or in summer when bottom water dissolved oxygen reaches a minimum concentration and relatively low concentrations of phosphorus in the sediments of Bass Lake. The elevated ammonia concentrations in the sediment pore water suggest that if the sediment were extensively disturbed, as would happen with deep water dredging, or if the deeper bottom waters experienced complete oxygen depletion then Bass Lake water quality would be degraded through the increased release of nutrients. Bass Lake should be considered very sensitive to any extensive deep water dredging project. It should also be considered sensitive to any additional sources of organic matter or nutrients that could lead to increased oxygen depletion ofthe bottom waters ofthe lake. In addition disturbance of the sediment could release elevated concentrations of ammonia that could be toxic to fish. Water Quality During winter the water is colder near the ice cover and warmer with depth. Dissolved oxygen decreased with depth to just over 2 mg/L (Figure 3). No detectable odour of hydrogen sulphide (the rotten egg smell) was detected in the bottom water samples suggesting that the bottom waters were sufficiently oxygenated to prevent a build up of products of anaerobic decomposition such as ammonia. There was no difference between the total phosphorus, dissolved reactive phosphorus or ammonia concentrations at 1m depth in the water column compared to 1 m offbottom confinning that a build up of nutrients was not taking place in the water column near the sediment (Appendix 1). Temperature pro:fi]es taken from spring through to fall of2001 showed that Bass Lake was partially stratified. Gernza and Aubry (1999) also reported partial thermal stratification or layering in the bottom waters of the Lake. The significant change in temperature in 1996 and 2001 started at approximately 5 m and was occasionally accompanied by decreased oxygen concentration in the bottom waters that varied through the late spring to summer. A similar oxygen depletion was noted in the measurements made in 1978-1980 (Zimmerman et al. 1983). The depletion occurs below 7 . m to the deepest point of8.5 to 9 m and represents a s~ proportion of the total area of the lake of about one m thickness. A zone of rapid teD1perature decline, or a thermocline, was set up occasional in the deep basin of the Lake but was apparently broken down by wind and wave action between sampling runs causing the bottom waters to be reaerated from above. The dissolved oxygen in the bottom waters fluctuated and reached a minimum of 2.1 mg/L on August 7, 2001 while a minimum of 0.2 mgIL reached on August 6, 1996 (Gernza and Aubrey 1999). The lack ofhydrogen sulphide odour (the rotten egg smell) in the bottom water samples through 2001 suggesting that the bottom waters were sufficiently oxygenated to preyent 'anaerobic conditions and the build up of phosphorus or ammonia :from the sediments. Water clarity as indicated by Secchi disk visibility was improved in 2001 over historical values (Table 6 A ; ~ f. ../j ~- t~~ " , 2, Figure 8). The improvement may relate to the infestation of the exotic zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, in Bass Lake that apparently started in 1997. The improvement in clarity may explain the improvement in bottom water dissolved oxygen concentration since 1996 or earlier. Algae density, as indicated by chlorophyll ~ concentration, was at similar levels to historical values (Table 2, Figure 8). Total phosphorus and ammonia concentrations in the bottom waters were similar to euphotic zone composites in the 2001 survey. No accumulation oftotal phosphorus, phosphate or ammonia was noted. This is in contrast to Gernza and Aubry (1999) who noted elevated total phosphorus and ammonia in the bottom waters ( 1 m off bottom) compared to the euphotic zone samples for 1996. A comparison of basic water chemistry between 1978-80 and 1996 is presented in Table 3. The basic chemistry of the lake has changed very little over the 16-year period with slight increases in sodium and chlorides concentration and a slight decreases in sulphate concentration. Mean conductivity has not changed appreciably since 1978. Based on bottom water dissolved oxygen concentration, total phosphorus concentration, chlorophyll ~ concentration and Secchi disc visibility over the period 1973 to 2001, the lake can be considered meso trophic or moderately enriched. The apparent increase in total phosphorus in 1996 may have been due to one anomalous value that influenced the seasonal mean. Secchi disk visibility appears to be increasing in recent years. The introduction of zebra mussels to the lake (noted in 1997) has likely contn"buted to an increase in water clarity following a long period of relatively stable average clarity between 1973 and 1996 (average Secchi disc visibility 2.1 m 1973-1996). The water quality status of Bass Lake as of2001 is considered moderately enriched. The bottom water conditions indicate sensitivity to additional input of organic matter or phosphorus. Phytovlankton and zoovlankton [phytoplankton will be added when results are received in March, 2002] The average density and biomass of zooplankton over the open water survey was 26,782 organisms/m3 and 52.2 mglm3 respectively. The zooplankton community density in the open lake was dominated by the cladoceran Daphnia retrocurva and the calanoid copepod Leptodiaptomus ashlandii. These tiny ''water fleas"eat algae and other small particles in the water column. Their presence in the lake is an indication of relatively good water quality. Another significant organism found in the zooplankton samples (but not included in the above mentioned density and biomass) was' the veliger larvae (the free swimming stage) of the exotic zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha an introduced pest to Ontario from Europe. Z~bra mussels were apparently introduced into the lake in 1997 and have become distn"buted throughout the lake, especially on hard surfaces, on other native mussels and clams and rooted aquatic plants in the nearshore. The average zebra mussel density and biomass was 13,356 veligers/m3 and 3.8 mg/m3 in 2001 with peak values in the spring and early summer. . 7 , . I A l<b /~/I The seasonal pattern of density and biomass was compared to results for 1996 (prior to any zebra mussel infestation). Mean biomass for the open water period was similar but the seasonal distiibution of biomass indicated depressed values during the spring and early summer when zebra mussel veliger larvae are at their peak, The infestation of this pest may be adversely influencing the large bodied zooplankton populations which depend on particles (algae and bacteria) in the open waters. M ode) results The TSM was used to predict total phosphorus concentration in the lake under existing conditions in order to assess the predicted quality against measured. The recent measured total phosphorus concentrations ranged between 11 and 18 ug/L. The model predicted a total phosphorus concentration of16 ug/L which compared well with the measured results, It should be noted that the model more closely predicted measured total phosphorus when used in an oxic mode (as opposed to anoxic) for phosphorus retention (see App~ndix 5). Other factors will affect the relatively simple prediction of quality in Bass Lake following any phosphorus control actions. The model and predictions have not been adjusted for the effect of zebra mussels on water clarity and total phosphorus. Evidence from other areas of the Great Lakes and inland waters suggests that a shift in the phosphorus - open water algae relationship should be expected in Bass Lake. Water clarity has already improved since the infestation with zebra mussels began in Bass Lake. The low bottom water oxygen conditions may benefit from the increased water clarity as sunlight will probably start to penetrate to the deepest areas of the Lake and promote oxygen production deeper in the water column. The lake bottom waters do not appear to contn1mte any serious increase in loading to the Lake as of2001. Increasing water levels due to a lack of control at the outlet dam may adversely affect lake quality by increasing bottom water oxygen depletion problems that may result in an increased release of phosphorus in future. The water level control at the dam should be investigated further with the Ministry of Natural Resources to detennine if lake levels can be stabilized or reduced slightly to promote natural mixing of the water column into bottom waters, Lake management actions - phosphorus control The model was used to represent conditions in future ifno additional controls ofphosphorus supply :fi:om the shoreline or watershed sources were put in place. The following changes may take place over the next 20 years: 1. the commerciaVindustrialland will double in area 2. the residential area will increase by 20 % 3, rural land in pasture and forest and wetland will decrease by the areas occupied by 1. &2. 4. the vacant but registered shoreline lots will be built as permanent residences, 8 A {V,..., t ;"\ -, ! -r '-i .. i .' . " The result of these forecasted changes was a total phosphorus increase to 17 ug/L. In other words, ifno strategy for control of phosphorus is implemented over the next 20 years, the water quality of the Lake could deteriorate further. The phosphorus supply to Bass Lake can be broken down into controllable sources (Shoreline development, urban storrnwater, agricultural) and uncontrollable sources (atmospheric input, export ITom forested and wetland areas) (Table 4). An assessment of changes in tbe forest cover and wetlands in the Bass Lake watershed (SSRAP unpublisbed) shows that there remains a healthy proportion of cover (more than 30%) with some large areas of interior forest and wetlands. Maintaining forest cover and wetlands by protective land use designations is an important measure that will protect the lake in future. Urban storrnwater management practices could be implemented for future and existing areas to reduce the supply of phosphorus. Several actions have been and can be taken by fanners in the watershed to rriinimize the loss of soil and nutrients ::ITom agricultural operations in the watershed. These include use of conservation tillage practices, restricting access of livestock ::ITom streams and the development and implementation of nutrient management plans. The model was again used to represent conditions in future with the following controls of phosphorus supply: 1. 3. Implement urban storrnwater management practices that will lead to a reduction in this source by 20% Implement a private sewage inspection program along the Bass Lake shoreline. This is expected to virtually eliminate the possibility of ongoing pollution ITom faulty or seriously substandard sewage systems Implement rural non-point source control projects in fanns located in the watershed with a goal of reducing total phosphorus ITom this source by 20%. 2. Based on the modeled quality with the above controls in place, the predicted total phosphorus is reduced by 2 ugIL or 12%. In the case of rural non-point source controls, some implementation bas already been started and should result in improved runoff ITom cultivated fields over the next few years. Other control measures will require new implementation projects to be started. For example, correction of inadequate shoreline private sewage systems could be carried out through a reinspection program by the Township. 9 '- f'f r\l:J /\0." () j; Lake mana\!,ement actions - in-lake management techniQues In-lake management techniques have been proposed in Gemza and Aubry (1999) involving lake aeration. The Bass Lake cottagers Association has also proposed a restoration plan for Bass Lake that involves dredging the sediment at the deepest point in the lake. The lake trophic status and the sensitivity ofthe lake to changes in loadings do not appear to warrant such drastic action. The fact that the lake appears to be changing in response to zebra mussel infestation suggests a ''wait and see" option should be pursued to assess the oxygen regime after improved clarity. The bottom water measurements of this survey and those ofGernza and Aubry (1999) did not indicate a significant build up of phosphorus and the appropriateness of an oxic mode for the TSM suggest that the is no large reservoir of nutrients in the sediment. The sediment measurement ofthis survey confirm that organic matter and phosphorus concentrations in surficial sediment are not polluted and should be left intact. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS In summary, Bass Lake is sensitive to nutrient enrichment based on expected changes to the watershed and based on the potential for extended anoxic conditions in the bottom waters that will promote release of nutrients from the deep water sediments. With a concerted effort to control sources of phosphorus to the lake, it is possible to reverse some of the effects of historical loadings on the lake and prevent further deterioration. The following actions are recommended for Bass Lake. Shoreline - ensure private sewage systems are working properly and fix those that aren't - encourage naturalizing shoreline frontage on lake Watershed - encourage conservation tillage practices for cultivated land and implement nutrient management plans for fanns in the Bass Lake watershed with a goal of reducing watershed sources to the lake by 20% - encourage urban stonnwater best management practices in existing ''residential'' catchments with a goal of reducing this source of phosphorus by 20% over the long-term. - encourage natural riparian vegetation along streams with a goal of 75% of stream banks with natural vegetation - maintain forest cover by encouraging planting of trees and protection of existing forest stands. - protect and enhance wetlands 10 -A 'Yf.

The location of these lights, if approved by Council and Hydro One, would be on existing hydro poles as shown on the attached map. Under Section 5(a)(i) of the Township's Streetlight Policy, Bass Line is considered an arterial road and installation of streetlights on Bass Line would benefit the adjacent developments on Plans 629 (Nelson Street), 979 and 1222 (Ward Avenue), 1270 (Broadview Avenue), 1310 (Joy Avenue and Glengrove Avenue), Orser Drive, Vine Street, Bards Beach Road, as well as Bass Line. All capital and operating costs of these proposed lights would be the responsibility of each lot owner in this area. The capital cost to install these five (5) streetlights on Bass Line on existing hydro poles would be approximately $3,750.00 and the cost would be divided equally amongst the 180 lot owners. Operating and capital costs for year one would be approximately $28.00 for each lot owner. Each subsequent year, a rate will be set that will cover the cost of hydro, maintenance and to establish a reserve fund. This rate would be approximately $8.00 . $10.00 per lot based on 180 lots in the area. This rate is reviewed annually by Council. The Township is requesting that you be: 1. In favour of the installation of the five (5) proposed streetlights on Bass Line and that a capital and operating cost of $28.00 for 2002 will be added to your tax bill, and an operating and maintenance cost of $8.00 - $10.00 per year (to be reviewed annually) will be added to your tax bill each year thereafter. 2. Not in favour of the installation of the proposed streetlights on Bass Line. 1b~,3 I Page 2 Your response to this proposal may be forwarded, in writing, to the Township of Oro-Medonte at Box 100, Oro Station, Ontario LOL 2XO, or bye-mail at engineering@township.oro-medonte.on.ca or by telephone at (705) 487-6499, to the attention of the undersigned, until February 15, 2002. ....

Policy Official Plan Designation: Zoning By-law: Agricultural AgriculturallRural (A/RU) Zone Comments Roads Superintendent: Building Department: No concerns All components of a sewage system are required to be maintained on a single parcel of land. From information provided, sewage system appears to be constructed on two properties. Prior to approval, verification is required that sewage system is contained on one lot or properties deemed as one lot. Planning Department Comments 1. Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan? The subject property is designated Agricultural in the Official Plan. The general intent of the policies is to preserve the agricultural lands of the Township and to maintain the open countryside. The proposed addition to an existing accessory building would generally conform to the intent of the Official Plan policies, given the location of the property to agricultural lands. 1 2. Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law? The subject property is zoned Agricultural/Rural (AIRU) in the Township's Zoning By- law 97-95, as amended. The intent of the By-law is to establish setback requirements, which assist in maintaining the character of the rural area. The proposed variance would permit an increase in the maximum floor area of an accessory building, and would permit it to be located closer to the rear yard setback, and front yard setback required for a detached accessory structure. Therefore the variance conforms with the general intent of the Zoning By-law as an accessory building is permitted within the Agricultural/Rura1 (AIRU) Zone. 3. Is the variance desirable for the appropriate development of the lot? Upon site inspection it is evident that the proposed addition would not appear to impact on the neighbouring properties and would be located in an area which does not affect the existing structure, well, or septic on the property. 4. Is the variance minor in nature? The proposed variance is considered minor in nature on the basis of the information provided above, Recommendation It is recommended that Minor Variance Application A-3/02 be granted subject to the standard conditions and satisfaction of the building department requirements regarding the sewage system approval for the structure from Council in accordance with the budget is also required. Decision BE IT RESOLVED that: Moved by, Albert Pross seconded by, Dave Edwards "That the Committee hereby GRANT Minor Variance Application A-3/02 as a amended to a 1 metre (3.28 feet) setback from the front yard and subject to the following conditions: 1. That an Ontario Land Surveyor provide verification to the Township of compliance with the Committee's decision by 1) pinning the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring of the foundation by way of survey/real property report prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor. 2 2.
