Mr. O'Toole stated there were numerous issues on the horizon, noting Energy-From-Waste, the 407 East Expansion, the Darlington "B", Environmental Assessment and the Source Water Protection Act, are all issues affecting the Riding. Mr. O'Toole extended congratulations on the success of "Pitch-In" Week and 'the collection of household batteries. He highlighted current legislation before the Assembly including Bill 35 -Investing In Ontario Act, 2008 stating stable, predicable funding is what organizations want; Bill 50, Provincial Animal Welfare Act, 2008, noting the Ontario Federation of Agriculture has concerns with this Bill; Bill 64, Cosmetic Pesticides Ban Act 2008, a controversial bill which is federally regulated; and, Bill 69, Smoke-Free Ontario Amendment Act, 2008, which he supports but questions where funding for enforcement would come from. Mr. O'Toole highlighted the Joint Municipal Provincial Fiscal Review which is being conducted this year to determine which taxes pay for which services, similar to the "Who Does What" Report commenced in the 1990's and acknowledged the argument between the Federal and Provincial levels of government concerning the Built Canada program. He noted the most important infrastructure is the Windsor border with six level~ of government involved in the issue and the need to remain competitive to keep businesses in Canada.

Council Meeting Minutes - 6 - May 5, 2008 Ian Parrott, Senior Manager of Approvals, Environmental Assessment and Approvals Branch, and Dave Fumerton, District Manager, York Durham District Office, Ministry of the Environment, addressed Council concerning Municipal Solid Waste Management. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Ian Parrott provided an overview of the history of landfilling in Ontario and reviewed legislation and regulations governing new and existing landfill sites. Mr. Parrot stated Provincial roles and responsibilities are three-fold and include setting standards and guidelines for emissions to groundwater, surface water and air, as well as the design and operation of landfill sites, administering approvals and permitting processes and conducting inspection and enforcement activities to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. Mr. Parrott detailed the regulatory framework and reviewed the provisions of the Environmental Assessment Act, the Environmental Protection Act and Certificates of Approval. He also outlined common problems with landfill sites and how issues are dealt with. Dave Fumerton reviewed major landfill sites in Ontario, active landfill sites, including the W. H. Hale Landfill Site in Clarington, and Durham Region waste diversion statistics. In response to questions concerning the development of a new site or expansion of a current site as an alternative to EFW, Mr. Parrott responded that the site would be selected during an Environmental Assessment Process and that the timing of the process would be equivalent to what is being done for the EFW facility. He further stated that the size of the site is dependent on how high or how deep it is. In response to further questions, Mr. Parrott stated landfills are not allowed in the Oak Ridges Moraine but he was unsure of the limitations on the greenbelt. He clarified that he was not aware of the Province anticipating landfill in Clarington or any new landfill sites being developed in Ontario. Mr. Parrot also stated that the Ministry of the Environment places a significant weighting factor on an unwilling host community as public opinion and community is an important part of the process. In response to further questioning, Mr. Parrott stated it is not impossible for a site to make it through an EA process and that landfills that have been decommissioned are continuously monitored until they demonstrate that they are no longer a threat. Mayor Abernethy congratulated Wayne Robbins, Senior Vice President, Ontario Power Generation - Darlington (OPG) on receiving the President's Leadership Award. Wayne Robbins addressed Council to provide an update on Darlington's 2007 performance and to highlight issues facing OPG in 2008. Mr. Robbins acknowledged the efforts of Chief Weir and staff for an excellent job regarding the Bowmanville fire. Mr. Robbins introduced two new Darlington employees in attendance - Stu Seedhouse, new Plant Manager, and Steve Woods, Director of Engineering. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation Mr. Robbins provided a recap of OPG, noting the company is one of North America's largest power generators supplying 70% of Ontario's electricity. He stated Darlington's vision is to be in the top quartile of the world's 440 operating reactors and to provide safe, reliable, predictable, cost- effective generation. Mr. Robbins stated safety is paramount and that they have Council Meeting Minutes - 7 - May 5, 2008 surpassed 5 million hours without a lost time accident. He noted they continue to focus on improved maintenance outages and have had successful maintenance outages on Unit 2 and Unit 4. Mr. Robbins advised they are leading the industry with the transition to a planned 36-month outage cycle and planning for long-term station sustainability. Mr. Robbins summarized by restating OPG's commitment to the community to communicate openly and transparently to earn and maintain the public's tru st. In response to questions, Mr. Robbins stated the Province will make the decision on the technology for the new build and they are anticipating a decision from the government over the next three months. In response to further questions, Mr. Robbins stated that if the maximum capacity is installed with the new build, OPG would supply approximately 40% of Ontario's energy. Resolution #C-241-08 Moved by Councillor Robinson, seconded by Councillor Hooper THAT Council recess for 15 minutes. "CARRIED" The meeting reconvened at 10:36 p.m. DELEGATIONS Louis Bertrand addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item I - 21 - Public Information Session and Peer Review of Emission Criteria. Through use of a RowerPoint presentation, Mr. Bertrand reviewed the limits of operation with respect to safety margins and highlighted the motion passed by Durham Council on January 23, 2008, requesting that the most modern and state of the art emission control technologies that meet or exceed the European Union EU monitoring and measurement standards be incorporated into the design and installation of the proposed EFW facility. Mr. Bertrand expressed concern with the emissions standards proposed by the consultants as noted in Regional Report WR-16 and questioned whether they are comparing operational limits to a legal EU limit and where the safety margin between those operational limits and the EU directive limits is. He also questioned whether this incinerator would be allowed to operate in Europe. Mr. Bertrand summarized by stating he is not at all reassured by the report and would like an independent peer review by experts and requested the Mayor and Regional Councillors to vote against accepting Report WR-16. Council Meeting Minutes - 8 - May 5, 2008 Kristin Robinson addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item I - 21 - Public Information Session and Peer Review of Emission Criteria to explain why a peer review must be done and a Public Information Session be held at this point in the EA process, not later. Ms. Robinson reviewed the EFW proposed operational limits and EFW facility emission limits comparison study provided by the Region's consultants. She stated there are major differences from what the consultants have proposed and what the EU is saying about the best techniques. Ms. Robinson feels that what is being proposed is far from the state of the art facility that was promised, that regular citizens are unaware of such important things going on that could affect their health, and that the process has not been transparent. She feels it is imperative to have a Peer Review done to advise the public how these emission limits were set and to engage an expert panel to respond to questions. Ms. Robinson feels there are too many unanswered questions to trudge forward waiting for information to appear after vital decisions have been made. Steve Conway addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item 1-21 - Public Information Session and Peer Review of Emission Criteria. Mr. Conway disputed comments made by Magnus Sch6nning, First Secretary, Embassy of Sweden regarding the lack of health studies on EFW emissions and submitted a copy of a study entitled "Health Effects of Exposure to Waste Incinerator Emissions: A Review of Epidemiological Studies". The study demonstrates that several adverse health effects have been reported associated with mass burn incineration in populations living near incinerators. Mr. Conway noted 3,000 doctors in France are presently requesting the banning of incinerators. Linda Gasser addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item I - 21 - Public Information Session and Peer Review of Emission Criteria. Ms. Gasser explqined the Environmental Assessment is an iterative process that takes into consideration Vl7hat is brought forward, stating no process can consider what is not brought forward and without information issues cannot be properly addressed. She expressed concern that the Regions have forged ahead without conducting rigorous studies in the proper order or consulting with the public on key aspects of the EA, i.e. the proposed EFW Emissions Operating Limits and the Business Case. Ms. Gasser stated local Councillors need to take immediate action to ensure that if an incinerator were approved by the Ministry of the Environment that it would be a state-of-the-art facility as the Region committed to on January 23, 2008. Ms. Gasser requested Council to direct staff to commission Peer Reviews of the EFW Facility Air Emission Criteria and provide advice as to how what is proposed would meet Council commitments; add a date by which the Region should respond to Report CAO-05-08 concerning a Public Information Session; and to consult with Clarington residents as often as necessary throughout the EA process in order for all residents to understand how Regional decisions affect the community. Council Meeting Minutes - 9 - May 5, 2008 Resolution #C-242-08 Moved by Councillor Robinson, seconded by Councillor Trim THAT the meeting continue beyond the 11 :00 p.m. curfew, in order to hear from the remaining two delegates following which the meeting shall recess until Friday, May 9, 2008, at 9:30 a.m. "MOTION LOST" Resolution #C-243-08 Moved by Councillor Novak, seconded by Councillor Hooper THAT the meeting to continue beyond the 11 :00 p.m. curfew, in order to hear from the remaining two delegates following which the meeting shall recess until Tuesday, May 6, 2008, at 9:30 a.m. "CARRIED" Cathrine McKeever addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item 1- 21 - Public Information Session and Peer Review of Emission Criteria. Ms. McKeever stated a recent delegation to this Council said she and her husband were confused about the EFW facility EA process which indicated a need for public information sessions. Ms.. McKeever advised there is confusion somewhere as her previous letter did not even mention the EA process. Ms. McKeever advised information sessions organized by our municipal council are needed because residents need a source for information upon which they can depend and they know to be both reliable and unbiased. Ms. McKeever stated normally people rely on their local media to keep them apprised of major events; however, she feels such is not the case with this proposed facility. Ms. McKeever stated rather than being impartial, Rogers TV 10 and Clarington This Week are actively anti-EFW noting she can cite numerous examples from either source showing this bias. Ms. McKeever stated the most blatant occurred this past week. Rogers TV 10 produced a show called "The Burning Question" aired last Sunday, April 2yth and through judicious editing, a man who supports energy from waste and has said so many times including as a delegation to this Council was made to be saying the opposite. Ms. McKeever stated many people support building of this facility and an Ipsos Reid poll showed nearly 75%. She expressed concern that those who control the news still feel the need to manipulate this support to manufacture confusion and to demean this Council and undermine its authority. Ms. McKeever stated we may enjoy a free press in this country but Durham Region suffers from a biased one. She urged Council, as our elected representatives, to ensure residents have the truth. Aiden T ombes was called but was not present. Council Meeting Minutes - 10- May 5, 2008 Dave Renaud addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item I - 21 - Public Information Session and Peer Review of Emission Criteria. Mr. Renaud expressed concern that the figures reported in the Chief Administrator's Report on the hosting a Public Information Session are very high. Mr. Renaud advised the CAW has previously held two forums on the issue and the costs were $2,600 for one and $4,200 for the other. Mr. Renaud confirmed that the bulk of the cost was to cover expenses for speakers. Mr. Renaud volunteered his service to help reduce costs in hosting the forum. Mr. Renaud submitted copies of resolutions from the Windsor and District Labour Council, the CAW - National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Works Union of Canada and the Durham Region Labour Council in opposition to the principle of waste incineration. The Chief Administrative Officer confirmed the figures reported in Report CAO-05-08 are correct and acknowledged that the private sector can host a meeting for less cost.

Madill, Regional Clerk, Regional Municipality of Durham, writing to the Honourable Jim Watson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing advising on April 16, 2008, Regional Council passed the following resolution pertaining to the "Growing the Greenbelt" Consultation Paper: "a) THAT the following comments be forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing as Durham Region's response to the draft expansion criteria to Growing the Greenbelt: i) The consultation material clearly indicates that the Province is only considering criteria for expansion of the Greenbelt, not to reduce the size or remove areas. As such, this initiative does not provide an opportunity for the Region to raise previous concerns expressed with the Greenbelt. The Minister had indicated that the Region's 'comments, along with those that the ministry continues to receive, will form part of the ten-year review of the Plan' (in 2015). In anticipation of the review, the Minister should consider and propose criteria for adjustments to the Greenbelt boundary, where warranted to remove lands that do not meet the Greenbelt vision and goals; Council Meeting Minutes -15- May 5, 2008 ii) The criteria should be clarified to define what is meant by 'the proposed Greenbelt expansion must be based on a provincial scale systems approach that formed the original Greenbelt'. Municipalities did not have access to, or knowledge of, this approach or data used by the Province to establish the original Greenbelt; Hi) Requiring that the proposed expansion complement the Growth Plan and not interfere with affected municipalities bringing their official plans into conformity is supported. This recognizes the need to carefully consider further expansions to the Greenbelt, particularly in Durham where over 80% of the land mass is already in the Greenbelt. This will assist municipalities in addressing land required to meet provincially mandated growth; iv) Requiring that any request for expansion complement ongoing provincial initiatives, is supported. However, as noted in the Consultation Paper, there are a number of provincial initiatives affecting the Greater Golden Horseshoe that could have an effect on any proposal to expand the Greenbelt. The final criteria should identify all potential provincial initiatives that could affect a proposed expansion. This is essential supporting information needed to assist municipalities in preparing their requests; and b ) THAT a copy of Report #2008-P-27 of the Commissioner of Planning be forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the area municipalities." Resolution #C-246-08 Moved by Councillor Trim, seconded by Councillor Robinson THAT the resolution from the Region of Durham with respect to the Region's comments on the draft expansion criteria to Growing the Greenbelt be endorsed. "CARRIED" Council Meeting Minutes - 16 - May 5, 2008 1-21 Kristin Robinson advising that she has been finding it extremely difficult to get answers to question regarding the proposed Energy- From-Waste facility; expressing concern that very important decision are on the brink of being made Le. emissions criteria without citizens being allowed to be properly involved in the process; suggesting an independent peer reviewer scrutinize the emissions criteria to ensure that the criteria fulfils resolutions made by Regional Council; and that citizens be consulted in a public forum where experts are available to answer questions that the public raise.

Ms. Duare McKinnon-Rutherford feels that having the Mayor as a member of the Committee takes away from the Committee's credibility and that there are many community citizens who are well established, well connected and very effective in their efforts to address local environmental issues who would be qualified to lead the Committee.

The correspondence indicated that they feel the amount owing is not due, the audit was flawed, the errors are obvious, the town has been notified directly where the errors are and the letter from the Municipality is nothing more than harassment. Resolution #C-253-08 Moved by Councillor Robinson, seconded by Councillor Hooper THAT Correspondence Item D - 8 from Don and Cynthia Prout with respect to the Compliance Audit of John Mutton be received for information..

The Deputy Mayor outlined the purpose and format of the public meeting. Council Meeting Minutes - 2 - MAY 12, 2008 PUBLIC MEETING (a) Subject: Report: Clarington Official Plan PSD-049-08 Carlos Salazar, Manager of Community Planning and Design, provided a verbal report supported by a PowerPoint presentation pertaining to Report PSD-049-08. Mr. Salazar reviewed the components of an official plan, what the current plan has accomplished, why a review is needed, the approach and timeframe associated with the review and public participation in the process. Mr. Salazar outlined reasons supporting an official plan review from global issues to local issues noting the review will provide an opportunity to reaffirm the vision for the quality of life in the community and to guide future decision-making. Peter Campbell, Vice President, Delta Urban Inc. addressed Council on behalf of Intracorp Development Limited and Preston Group, with respect to their combined ownership of approximately 130 acres on the north side of Bloor Street between Prestonvale Road and Courtice Road in the Courtice Urban Area. Mr. Campbell stated the lands are located within a Future Urban Residential designation in the Clarington Official Plan adopted in 1996. He stated the designation for these lands was based upon two primary factors when the current Clarington Official Plan was adopted - the residential land supply horizon was 2016 and the proposed Courtice Sewage Treatment Plan was some time away from construction. He noted the new Clarington Official Plan will have a concurrent time horizon with the new Durham Region Official Plan, being the year 2031 and that the Courtice Sewage Treatment Plant is now built and operational. Mr. Campbell feels it is timely to replace the Future Urban Residential designation on the subject lands with Urban Residential and the other specific designations for neighbourhood facilities, densities and roads that apply to designated lands that are ripe for development and formally requested the Municipality to complete the re-designation of the Future Urban Designation for the entire area north of Bloor Street from Prestonvale Road to Courtice Road as part of the Official Plan review. Mr. Campbell stated correspondence dated May 1,2008, addressed to David Crome, Director of Planning Services provides written comments on behalf of his clients. John Stephenson addressed Council stating he feels the 25 year time frame for the Official Plan development is far too long and suggests that the Plan focus on the first two years with increasingly reduced emphasis on the five and ten year futures. Mr. Stephenson suggested the plan be subject to annual revisions based on the economic, energy and global warming scenarios at the end of each year so as to produce an updated plan incorporating the most recent and complete information available at the time. Mr. Stephenson outlined factors to be considered including the state of the economy, the availability and impact of energy shortages, and the impact of global warming and stated that the effects of these factors on the lifestyles of the people of Clarington must be considered in terms of home design, travel within the community and Region, and other infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, industrial Council Meeting Minutes - 3 - MAY 12, 2008 areas, recreational areas and facilities, open spaces and growing food, etc. Mr. Stephenson stated the Municipality should resist the expansion of communities into areas that are not now under construction; however, if population growth is not avoidable then it should be accommodated by redeveloping areas in the central core by constructing compact apartment blocks. He also feels the Municipality should not borrow money to accommodate population growth. Mr. Stephenson submitted his comments in writing. Keith Worden, addressed Council on behalf of his family to advise of the issues that they have with property in the employment area around Trulls Road, and Courtice Road to Prestonvale Road. He stated he has anguished over the designation of Dom's Auto Parts and expressed concern with what is viewed as the entry from Highway 401 to Clarington and feels that the current industrial/commercial designation is not the most gratifying for that particular area and that there are better usages for the land. Mr. Worden acknowledged the need for the industrial base but questioned that particular location. Mr. Worden also feels if the designation in that area remains, then it will attract other neighbours that are not complimentary as to how Clarington wants to be perceived. He suggested that as part of the process staff review the designation to motivate Dom's to move on and to consider development in the area that would enhance the vision such as a residential opportunity. Peter Evans, President, Clarington Older Adults Association addressed Council stating he is encouraged by the plan as it gives the community a degree of control over the future by setting goals, targets and milestones to achieve and address quality of life issues. Mr. Evans stated the Association has already addressed Council with concerns that affect their operation and have presented their goals and challenges respecting management of growth and parking issues. Mr. Evans expressed the Association's willingness to work along with staff on this positive venture. Doug Rombough, addressed Council advising he and his wife own a heritage property built in 1877 on Arthur Street in Newcastle and are concerned with the degree of intensification of housing developments surrounding their one-acre property. He stated the proposed developer plans to build many townhouses and small property developments. Mr. Rombough urged staff to consider the historical importance of not only their land but Newcastle Village proper. Mr. Rombough acknowledged that he is not opposed to development and hopes that all residents will continue to have input into what gets developed where and when. Mr. Rombough requested a clear definition of "intensification", especially provincial initiatives in that regard. In response to a question, Mr. Rombough clarified he does not feel that putting mega- houses on 40 foot lots or townhouses surrounding his property is appropriate planning. Council Meeting Minutes - 4- MAY 12, 2008 Bill Cawker, Baywood Homes, addressed Council as the owner of 250 acres at the northeast corner of Concession Road 3 and Liberty Street which are currently designated Future Urban Residential, Environmental Protection and Community Park. Mr. Cawker stated through this review there may be opportunity to work with staff to convert this designation to urban residential. Mr. Cawker stated Baywood Homes welcomes the study, and will work closely with staff and will become involved in the process. Mr. Cawker submitted correspondence prepared by Sernas and Associates outlining his position. Resolution #C-278-08 Moved by Councillor Robinson, seconded by Councillor Woo THAT Council recess until 7:00 p.m. "CARRIED" The meeting reconvened at 7:00 p.m. Carlos Salazar, Manager of Community Planning and Design, repeated his verbal report and PowerPoint presentation pertaining to Report PSD-049-08. Sheila Hall, Executive Director, Clarington Board of Trade, addressed Council stating the Board of Trade encourages this review to foster their goals and to ensure that the Municipality's direction is in line with Regional and Provincial goals. She indicated the Board of Trade's focus would be on the development and servicing of employment lands and expansion of the existing job base to create a healthy social fabric, including the recruitment of physicians. The Board of Trade would also like to ensure that the residential ratio to people working in the community is healthier than it is today. Ms. Hall noted there is great value in the community taking a pro-active approach rather than waiting for the growth that is coming to arrive. Donald Kirkup, Kirkup Realty Corporation Brokerage, addressed Council stating his client owns 8 Y:2 acres at the northeast corner of Prestonvale Road and Bloor Street and suggested that the corner be redesignated to allow for convenience shopping to be located within walking distance of large concentrations of residential development. Mike Ricciuto addressed Council stating he owns property in Courtice, Hampton and Mitchell's Corners and has questions related to hamlets. He feels it is important that hamlets are not ignored as part of the review as they provide diversity in housing, and attract professionals and that growth supports infrastructure in hamlets. Mr. Ricciuto stated the Greenbelt Protection Act requires municipalities to define the boundaries of hamlets and questioned how Clarington will define hamlet boundaries when reviewing the Official Plan. Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - MAY 12, 2008 Libby Racansky addressed Council stating if the Official Plan is the Municipality's compass for the future it would have to consider climate change as the most important issue. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Ms. Racansky highlighted slides of the City of Ottawa's Official Plan Review which considered climate change as the most significant environmental challenge. Ms. Racansky stated the newspaper advertisement indicated that residents will be able to make a difference but expressed concern that comments made during the last review were not considered in the new Plan. Ms. Racansky stated the importance of the natural environment must be understood and its policies must be more enforceable, especially with respect to the Lake Iroquois shoreline. She cautioned if land continues to be developed with a "business as usual" approach, our health and economy will be threatened noting there is an intrinsic relationship between what is done on the land with woodlots, wetlands and farmland, and the weather. Ms. Racansky feels that future development applications, including the aggregate should not be allowed to impact the limited natural environment or farmlands. She also feels that concentration on downtown Courtice and other communities deserve the same attention as Bowmanville. Ms. Racansky feels that the preliminary worklplan is not ready for approval by Council as she feels more staff education is needed. Jordan Clement addressed Council extending congratulations to the Planning Services Department for putting forth an integrated plan and covering all aspects. He stated however, that he was a little distressed at the last slide of Mr. Salazar's presentation when he saw the sky slowly being blocked out by buildings. He stated growth and environmental destruction is important and is not being adequately addressed. Mr. Clement stated he looks forward to seeing the continuation of the high quality of life and community experienced in Clarington.

Roberta Stasyszyn, Edward Oegema, Business representatives . Fred Biesenthal Municipality of Clarington . Janice Szwarz, Planning Services Department . Leslie Benson, Engineering Services Department Central Lake Ontario Conservation . Rob Hersey (CLOCA) Miller Waste · Mike Kopansky; AI Ramsay; Brad Harper Additional Persons in attendance . Louise Fish - Resident 1103 Solina Road . James Bird - Resident 1156 Solina Road . Gilles Lecours - Resident 1184 Solina Road . Doug Bruce - Resident 1211 Solina Road . Mary Novak - Regional Councillor (Wards 1 &2) . Charlie Trim - Regional Councillor (Wards 3&4) . Cliff Curtis - Region of Durham Works Commissioner Regrets . Tom Brewer, Business Representative Opening Remarks; . Mike Kopansky welcomed the members or the committee and the attendees from the residential neighborhood. Mike opened the floor for residents to voice their concerns before committee moved into the regular meeting agenda. Miller Community Relations Committee - October 25, 2007 Resident input and associated discussion: Gilles Decours- . When the material is being turned and there is a south-westerly or westerly wind there is a strong odour at his residence. He is very concerned that the level of odour will increase with the warmer weather in late spring and summer. Gilles had not called Miller's hotline to date but now has a copy of the Hotline number. . For Gilles the noise level associated with the compost site operations has not been an issue to date. . Gilles has not experienced any problems with dust generated from operations at the composting site; however this may be due to the weather conditions since the site opened last September. Doug Bruce - . Doug has talked to AI Ramsay on several occasions since late last fall and AI has always been willing to take Doug's calls and respond to his concerns. Doug is concerned with the continuous level of odour that he has experienced from the site when the wind is blowing in his direction and is worried about what will happen when the warmer weather arrives in spring/summer. . · Doug has found to date that the level of odour intensity from the site seems to vary depending on wind direction and weather conditions. He has also investigated the odour levels around the site when the wind is blowing in different directions and has detected odours at different locations around the site depending on wind direction and weather conditions. · Doug and other neighbours are concerned about the property values in the area due to the odour. · Doug claims there is a continuous odour in the area around the site and out of concern for this situation Doug started calling neighbours and politicians to ensure everyone was aware of his and his neighbors concern with respect to odour generation at the composting site. James Bird - · James confirmed that his experience and concern is consistent with the comments made by Doug and Gilles. Louise Fish - · When a resident calls the hotline # what response can they expect the company to take? Mike Kopansky answered by saying that depending on the time of day the hotline is either answered by a Miller Miller Community Relations Committee - October 25, 2007 2 employee or a call answer service. If the call is taken by a Miller employee they will record the callers concerns and contact the Miller staff person responsible for the operation being identified. If the call is received by the call answering service they will take down the concerns and then work through an after hours contact list to contact a Miller employee to investigate the callers concern. Miller will investigate the concerns raised by the caller and if the source of issue is resulting from Miller's operations at the composting site then Miller will take steps that will help mitigate the problem. For example, if a windrow is being turned and "septic type" odours are being emitted as a result of turning that windrow then Miller will stop turning the windrow and cover it with a bio-filter wood media or spray the windrow with an organic odour suppressant. · Last year there was a bus tour of Miller's Bloomington site and apparently there was no odour reported by those on the tour of the Bloomington site, is that what your goal will be for this site? Mike Kopansky: Yes - Miller's goal is to operate the site in a manner that is acceptable to the local community. Mike clarified that different people have varied perceptions and sensitivities to odours and odour levels and that Miller staff will work with the local community to identify site activities that generate problematic conditions for sensitive receptors and find ways to mitigate them. While at the Bloomington site there was a low intensity "earthy odour" but none of the persons on the tour found the odour or the odour level offensive. Janice Szwarz - . As part of Miller's application to the MOE there is a section titled "Best Operating Practices" It speaks to odour suppressants such as Bio- Filter media and or odour suppressant agents, etc. Janice asked Mike Kopansky to explain how these suppressants would be used in our operating practices. Mike Kopansky explained how and when these suppressants would be used. Mike Kopansky: Aerobic composting requires that the materials being com posted have the appropriate bulk density, moisture content and feedstock mixture to promote aerobic composting conditions. When aerobic composting is underway the odours generated are typically described as an earthy smell and are typically not offensive to people. When anaerobic conditions are present the composting material can take on an offensive septic odour - this happened last week when the business park experienced the offensive odour generated while Miller turned a windrow that was going anaerobic. By adding woodchip and dry materials the anaerobic windrow can be returned to an aerobic state. Miller can also apply an odour suppressant agent to windrows that have higher odours level generation while they are being converted back to an aerobic state. Miller Community Relations Committee - October 25, 2007 3 . How will the outcome of the meetings with the residents and business owners get back to Council & this committee? Committee agreed that we could have the residents come to our next meeting on May 15, 2008 to find out how things were progressing. Regional Councillor Mary Novak . How many windrows can be shut down if they become a problem? Mike Kopansky: Mike Kopansky explained that Miller received permission to receive and process wood materials thus allowing an on site source of wood chips for use in the composting process. Typically on site there are less than 5 windrows being worked on in any given day - it is highly unlikely that all five would be problematic but if they were they could alter operational plans to minimize adverse affect on surrounding neighbours. In Miller's experience it is important for Miller and its neighbours to have good communication to ensure that prompt responses are provided to legitimate concerns and to foster a proactive and positive relationship. Is there a chance that a tour could be arranged for residents or business owners in the area to explain the process? Mike Kopansky: Mike Kopansky replied yes, that could certainly be arranged. We will set a date in the near future. . How will Miller become pro-active? Mike Kopansky: Miller will work aggressively with staff to ensure we do not create situations that cause odours unnecessarily. Mike would like to contact residents in a week or two so that he is able to meet with them at their properties at a mutual~y convenient time to smell odours that cause them concerns and set up a site tour. Fred Biesenthal- . On Friday (March yth) at 6:00 am Fred arrived at work and did not smell anything. At 9:00 am two of my staff members arrived and they could smell a very strong odour. Miller was called by several area businesses and within 1 hour the offensive odour was gone. · The odour was widespread, from Spoiled Sports to the Business Park south of Baseline. · Fred commented that he had contacted Miller (AI Ramsay) in the past with respect to odour levels and to date AI had responded promptly and professionally - the odour at the time of his previous calls had not been as strong as or as offensive as it was this past Friday. Roberta Stasyszyn- · Do you ever get any complaints from the people to the west of the site? Perhaps we should investigate to find out. Mike Kopansky: To date Miller had not received complaints from neighbours to the west. Miller Community Relations Committee - October 25, 2007 4 · Maybe the Miller Compost Hotline sheet could be handed out personally by Miller Waste. That way Miller could introduce themselves and let the business owners and other residents know who to call if they have any issues regarding the compost site operations. Mike Kopansky: Mike agreed Miller would visit with neighbours around the site to ensure everyone has a copy of the Hotline number and to discuss any concerns they may have with the compost site operations. Mike will do this with other staff within a couple weeks of this meeting. Mike noted that he had already delivered a business card proactively to one resident immediately west of the site (trailer storage area) several months ago - this resident will be revisited again within next couple weeks. Four residents left the meeting and the regular meeting agenda commenced. Item # 1 Review minutes of meeting #1 - one minor error was corrected and the minutes were finalized. Action Items from Previous Meeting 1.1 Members are to consider possible candidates for Committee co-chair. During the meeting Roberta Stasyszyn graciously agreed to be the co- chair for the GRG with Mike Kopansky. 1.2 Miller is to approach Waste Management to coordinate a policy that would encourage truck traffic utilizing both facilities to avoid blocking the railway tracks. Miller discussed the situation with Waste Management - both companies agreed to cooperate on this issue - Miller prepared a draft policy for vehicles visiting the Miller site but are looking for input on this issue from Clarington. Leslie Benson was unaware of the request for her department (see point 1.3 below) and would provide input to Miller prior to Miller distributing their policy to vehicles visiting the Miller site. 1.3 Brent Mavin will investigate the installation of a sign to advise traffic not to block the railway tracks. As outlined in point 1.2 above Leslie will investigate the situation and provide feedback to Miller and the CRC. 1.4 Rob Hersey to provide monitoring data for Tooley Creek, Rob reports that monitoring data is vel}' extensive and did not want to distribute paper copies to the group for conservation purposes. Miller agreed Miller Community Relations Committee - October 25, 2007 5 to distribute copies of the data via CDs delivered to CRC members once Rob Hersey provided the data to Miller. 1.5 Janice Szwarz and Brent Mavin to investigate the possibility of allowing Miller to install locked gates on the Hancock Road allowance. Situation was discussed at length - Miller and residents wanted to prevent unwanted dumping and other unwanted use of Hancock Road allowance from Bloor Street south. Clarington staff advised that the Town's policy will not allow the closing off of a road allowance as requested by Miller and the residents. Issue is considered closed. Item # 2 Miller to report on key measurables: . Tonnes processed - site received 24,478mt From September 1, 2007 through February 29, 2008 - this is well within the requirements of the Certificate of Approval issued for this facility which allow weekly maximum of 4,200 tonnes or yearly site total of 70,000 tonnes (wood 20,000 and composting 50,000). · Residue rates - minimal to date - expected yearly average to be less than 3%; Miller - will provide an update upon completion of one year's operation . Traffic - report of scale transactions from Sept 15 to end of February date show 1,588 scale transactions. Peak month occurred in November - 730 scale transactions - based on 6 days per week operation this averages to 28 scale transactions per day. This is well below the maximum trips per hour modeled by the transportation consultants (their maximum peak hour was 28 trucks). . Dust - site is being maintained in accordance with C of A - no dust complaints have been received to date. . Noise - site is being maintained in accordance with C of A - no noise complaints have been received to date. · Woodlot Management - Nothing to report here since last meeting - no maintenance work expected to be performed until spring/summer 08. · Groundwater monitoring - Hydrology reports are up to date as per requirements of C of A - ongoing monitoring will continue this year as per C of A requirements. · Odour - Odour reports are being logged, investigated and corrective actions taken as per site C of A. The site has received a total of 14 notifications related to 9 odour events (multiple notifications of same event is the reason for higher notifications than actual events) This total represents the time period from September 2007 up to March 12, 2008. The nature of reported intensity ranges from mild but detectable to strong / offensive. Miller staff has taken steps to reduce the odour sources and will continue to work with neighbours to reducing impact on surrounding neighbours. Miller Community Relations Committee - October 25, 2007 6 · Miller staff made the statement that the site is being operated in compliance with the requirements of the C of A for the site. Item # 3 Any other business: None raised other than Miller's commitment in the first part of the meeting to meet with area residents within the next couple of weeks to work towards improved communication and fewer odour issues. Item # 4 . Next meeting scheduled for Thursday May 15th, 2008 Miller Community Relations Committee - October 25, 2007 7 1-2 CLARINGTON AGRICULTURAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2008 MEMBERS PRESENT: Tom Barrie Gary Jeffery Jennifer Knox Mark Bragg Ted Watson Donald Rickard Henk Mulders Orwin Bandstra Mary Ann Found Councillor Gord Robinson STAFF: Faye Langmaid Marlene Werry, Durham Region REGRETS: Ross McMaster Eric Bowman Brenda Metcalf GUESTS: Chris Duke, OMAFRA Chair called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Adoption of Aqenda 08.10 Moved by Mary-Ann Found, seconded by Orwin Bandstra 'That the Agenda for April 1 0, 2008 be adopted" Approval of Minutes 08.11 Moved by Donald Rickard, seconded by Ted Watson "That the minutes of the January 10, 2008 meeting be approved as corrected." Guests: Chris Duke, Program Analyst, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Anaerobic digestion is agri-food contribution to Ontario's renewable energy production. A reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and promote digestate as a land-applied crop nutrient. Anaerobic digestion is oxygen-free decomposition. Biogas is created by the process of breaking down of organic matter in oxygen free conditions. Organic materials such as manure, food byproducts and crops are put in a sealed holding tank for 5-100 days at a temperature between 200C and 50oC. The resulting product is biogas and non-digestible organic materials. This process removes most pathogens and odour The benefits of anaerobic digestion are manure treatment that is 95-99% odour and pathegon free. Economic returns linked to non-commodity product last year were $500 million in Germany were this process is currently being used. A renewable energy production and climate change emissions reductions. Some regulations are already in place for anaerobic digestion Max 5000 m3/year Max 1 00 m3 on-site · Max 25% by volume off-farm materials Of remaining material, 50% must be manure · 3 Lists of Materials (called Schedules) - Permitted materials - (primarily food processing and pre-consumer food products and byproducts) - Permitted materials with pre-treatment (700C for 1 hour or 550C for 20 hours) - (primarily meat plant products) - Excluded materials · Nutrient Management Strategy, record keeping · Digestate treated as Ag Source Material The value from digestate: · Digestate" is the digester effluent · Liquid contains most nutrients - Nutrients for growing crops Solid/liquid separator: - Solids: · Bedding Material · Fibre material for plastic reinforcement · Peat-like product for horticultural market - Liquids: · Land application (best value) There are safety considerations: - Stored biogas is combustible, but low volume, low pressure - Compare to energy content in propane cylinder Gases from storage of input material - potential risks - Need to handle input and output materials properly Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) is gas use authority in Ontario Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standard being developed There are currently several farm-based systems constructed or in the planning stages in Ontario. There is biogas funding programs to kick-start the sector (currently a backlog of applications, program is 6 months old, designed for 2 year span). The start up cost is a minimum of $200,000 minimum. These are very efficient systems to run. Operations need to be able to sell "green" energy (this requires an agreement with Ontario Power Authority) and be able to utilize and get full value from side benefits. Construction needs to meet local building requirements for permits, MSDS as well as zoning and assessment regulations. Business Arising from Minutes The Site Alteration By-law will be going to GP&A in a report from the Engineering Services Department on Monday, April 14. Only change of significance to committee is the ORM regulation, which was not in the draft reviewed. AACC April 10, 2008 A public consultation is being held over four days to review the Sign By-law. The dates are: April 21 in Orono; April 22 in Newcastle; April 23 in Bowmanville; and April 24 in Courtice A copy of the Public Consultation Paper will be available on the website or in the Planning Services Department early next week, there is also a visual preference survery. Please attend the meeting or review and provide comments. Correspondence: The 2008 Farmland Preservation Forum, Land for the Next Generation of Ontario Farmers will take place in Guelph, April 17th, 2008. Reports from Committees 407Committee Things are moving along. The next public meetings will be scheduled for June, after some tweaking of the route. Suggested that a request be made to have the consultants meet with the Ag Committee to discuss bridges. DAAC DAAC passed a resolution to request MPAC to provide a breakdown of assessments. They also want to encourage a partial exemption for farm markets if 50% of what is sold at the market is grown on the farm. Also, bunk houses need to be assessed as farm property. Durham Region is doing a review of development charges. A sub-committee will meet to make recommendations. One such recommendation will be regarding bunk houses. If you build one bunk house for 40 people you are charged one development fee. If you build four bunk houses, each to house 10 people, you pay four developments fees. Durham Federation of Aqriculture Durham Federation recently had the a land valuation consultant speak to committee with regard to the 407. The 407 has not been declared a project yet, as such expropriations cannot proceed, it is on a willing buyer/seller basis. They believe it will be 2010 before the EA is approved and expropriations can start to happen. They believe that when the process of acquiring property begins there will be room for negotiations with affected land owners. In the case where the majority of land is being taken and the owner is facing economic hardship due to the loss of the farm they will probably buyout the whole farm. If land owners are not willing to negotiate, expropriation will take place. If you are involved in negotiations/expropriation it is suggested that you retain a lawyer who is familiar with both processes. This will not be a painless process.
