Director of Engineering Services JAS/FL/DJC/df 22 October 2004 r. CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T(905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 r. 601 REPORT NO.: PSD-134-04 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 In April 2004, the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) released draft Terms of Reference for the Highway 407 East Completion Environmental Assessment (EA). The Municipality submitted its comments on the draft Terms of Reference in June 2004 through Staff Report PSD-082-04. MTO and the project consultant Totten Sims Hubicki (TSH) have provided a formal response to the Municipality's comments on the draft Terms of Reference (see Attachment No. 1). 1.2 On September 27, 2004, MTO released revised Terms of Reference for the 407 East EA and submitted them to the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE) for review and approval. Public comments on the revised Terms of Reference must be submitted to MOE by Tuesday, October 26, 2004. Once approved by MOE, the Terms of Reference will guide the preparation of the EA. The proposed project schedule included in the Terms for Reference forms Attachment 2 to this report. 1.3 Given the short time period for the submission of public comment (30 days) and Council's meeting schedule, it was not possible to obtain Council's approval of comments by the stipulated date. Accordingly, Report PSD-134-04 has been submitted to MOE as the Municipality's preliminary comments, with the caveat that Council will not be formally considering and approving the comments until November 01, 2004. a 1.4 As well, because of the short commenting period, the Clarington Highway 407 Community Advisory Committee (CAC) was unable to formulate a set of consolidated comments. The comments indicated on Attachment No. 3 to this report therefore reflect the comments provided by the individual members of the CAC and have been incorporated into the main body of the report where staff concur. •• 1.5 The purpose of this report is to provide the Municipality of Clarington's formal comments on the revised Terms of Reference for the Highway 407 East EA, as indicated in bold italics. Staff has also commented on the responses provided by MTO and TSH to the Municipality's comments on the draft Terms of Reference (see Attachment No. 1) and indicated whether or not the response addresses the Municipality's concern. Where it is felt that the concern was not adequately addressed, the reader is directed to the appropriate section of the staff report for additional comments.. 2.0 OVERVIEW OF REVISIONS TO THE TERMS OF REFERENCE 2.1 The revised Terms of Reference are similar to the draft version released in April 2004 in that they are much more general than the previous 2003 Terms of Reference. This reflects the fact that the Terms of Reference are no longer "� able to limit or "scope" the issues that are to be addressed in the EA study. .o 602 No .,, REPORT NO.: PSD-134-04 PAGE 3 2.2 The rationale for the EA study is more clearly articulated in the revised Terms of Reference. MTO has indicated that additional north-south and east-west transportation capacity will be required in Durham Region over the next 30 �. years, and that the additional capacity may be provided through a provincial transportation corridor. The Terms of Reference now indicate that the purpose of the EA is "to assess existing and future anticipated transportation capacity deficiencies within the Region of Durham and to determine the transportation needs from a Provincial perspective." 2.3 The discussion of the policy framework for the EA Study places a greater emphasis on framing the transportation problems in Durham Region in the context of the GTA and other areas, including Kawartha/Haliburton and Northumberland County. There is a specific recognition that transportation in Durham Region affects and is affected by other developments and policy initiatives in the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH). 2.4 A more detailed discussion of each alternative to the undertaking has been included (eg. improved and/or new transit services) and how the preferred ,,,.. alternative will be selected. Each of the alternatives will be assessed against the transportation, economic and environmental criteria provided in Table 4.1 to determine the expected effects and impacts, mitigative measures, and the .. advantages and disadvantages associated with each alternative. 2.5 The Terms of Reference continue to discuss how alternative methods will be �. generated and evaluated once a preferred alternative has been identified. The objectives defined in Table 5.1, which will be used to generate the alternative methods, have been expanded to include more natural environment (eg. avoid �. where possible, minimize encroachment or loss of the ecological function of wetlands). Table 5.2 and Appendix C, which will be used to evaluate the alternative methods, have been revised to include additional indicators such as •• significant built heritage features and property impacts on commercial, industrial, institutional and recreational properties. 2.6 The consultation program remains largely unchanged with a couple of notable exceptions. The project team has proposed to re-examine the mandate, membership and operating procedures for the Community Advisory Group (CAG) and the Municipal Technical Advisory Group (MTAG) during the EA. Currently, representatives from the Clarington Planning Services and Engineering Services Departments sit on MTAG. It is also proposed to expand the municipal consultation program to include municipalities outside of Durham that may be directly or indirectly impacted as a result of changes to the transportation system in Durham (eg. York Region, Toronto, and Kawartha Lakes). 2.7 The revised EA Study schedule (Attachment No. 2) assumes MOE approval of the Terms of Reference in mid-December 2004. The Transportation Planning/Need Report is expected to be released by the end of January 2005 and the preferred alternative and the EA study area are expected to be identified by late March 2005. The first round of formal public consultation will 603 REPORT NO.: PSD-134-04 PAGE 4 d occur at this point. The entire EA study is expected to be completed and submitted to MOE in December 2006. No 3.0 COMMENTS ON THE REVISED TERMS OF REFERENCE ' 3.1 Policy Framework 3.1.1 Section 2.1 of the Terms of Reference lists the provincial, regional and local documents that establish the policy framework within which transportation problems and potential solutions will be considered as part of the EA study. 3.1.2 Comments a) Although the list of policy documents is quite extensive, the following documents should be added: • The Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan • Building A Better Tomorrow— Ministry of Public Infrastructure and Renewal, February 2004 • Regional Transportation Strategy— Greater Toronto Transportation Authority All recently completed or on-going MTO studies such as the Goods Movement Study, Transit Opportunities Study, High Occupancy Vehicle (HO10 Lanes, and the Commuter Parking Lots Study. 3.2 Transportation Planning/Need Study 3.2.1 The Transportation Planning and Need study will be undertaken early in the EA process since it will define the transportation problems in Durham Region and beyond and provide the rationale for proceeding with the EA. •• 3.2.2 Comments a) The Region of Durham's population and employment growth figures should be updated to incorporate the most current figures (population, growth, employment, transportation, travel pattern) and then be compared to figures of other independent sources that have no vested interest in growth/transportation planning. The use of alternate growth scenarios will increase the confidence in the results of the Transportation Planning and Need Study. b) The argument that improved transportation infrastructure is needed to stimulate economic growth in Durham Region needs to be supported by the appropriate studies. The documents and data sources that will be referenced should be listed in the Terms of Reference to ensure that the sources are both appropriate and accurate. c) The analysis of transportation opportunities must include an analysis of all current, promised and projected spending commitments from/to .r REPORT NO.: PSD-134-04 PAGE 5 various governments, including 10 Year and beyond capital spending plans of Go Transit, Via Rail, CN and CP Rail, TTC, local/regional transit systems, and improvements to provincial, local and regional road infrastructure. The Terms of Reference should indicate at a general level the documents or types of documents that should be reviewed to ensure that the sources are appropriate. 3.3 Identification and Evaluation of Alternatives r. 3.3.1 The EA study will identify and assess alternatives that may address all or part of the transportation problems to be identified in the Transportation Planning/Need an Report. The identification and evaluation phase is expected to be completed about two months into the EA study (end of February 2005) and the preferred alternative is expected to be selected approximately one month later (end of �. March 2005). The first round of formal public consultation will occur after this stage. 3.3.2 Comments a) The speed at which a preferred alternative will be identified raises some concerns about the thoroughness of the analysis. For example, +• the use of broad factors and criteria, rather than a more detailed cost/benefit analysis, to assess the benefits and disadvantages of each of the alternatives, may not be sufficient. b) If the alternatives in the Terms of Reference are not looked at with the diligence required, then the public will not have any confidence in the WX study's findings. c) The project team should formally consult with the public and the Advisory Groups during the evaluation of the alternatives and prior to ,m the identification of the preferred alternative. d) The process for generating and evaluating alternatives should follow the process set out for alternative methods, i.e. that they be: comprehensive, understandable, replicable, traceable and participatory. e) The likelihood of any alternative being implemented has a direct effect on the effectiveness of this alternative, including the various components of a combined alternative. Issues related to implementation, including but not limited to funding, timing, and staging, should be fully explored. fl The Terms of Reference should require the EA to identify specific examples of where the various alternatives have been applied in circumstances similar to the conditions found in Clarington and discuss their effectiveness and environmental impacts. REPORT NO.: PSD-134-04 PAGE 6 r 3.4 Generation and Evaluation of Alternative Methods 3.4.1 The Terms of Reference outlines a multi-step process for generating and evaluating alternative methods of implementing the preferred alternative. Tables 5.1 and 5.2 in the Terms of Reference outline a number of objectives and criteria that will be used in this process. 3.4.2 Comments a) The public should be involved in the development of the objectives and criteria for the generation and evaluation of alternative methods at specific workshops and not simply consulted at Public Information Centres as the project team has suggested. b) The protection of urban separators is indirectly covered under a number of objectives already listed in Table 5.1. However, this objective is important to the maintenance of community identity and the prevention of urban sprawl and therefore should be included in Table 5.1 as a specific objective. c) The project team has proposed that weights will only be assigned to factors and not the criteria in Table 5.2. However, this approach would appear not to provide for the relative importance of the various criteria to be assessed(eg. groundwater vs. vegetation). „r 3.5 Public Consultation w 3.5.1 The Terms of Reference indicate that public comment is encouraged at any time throughout the study process. Formal consultation with the public will occur as follows: • Consultation Round # 1 - May 2005 After the selection of the preferred alternative and the identification of the EA Study Area • Consultation Round # 2 - September 2005 After the development of the preliminary evaluation methodology for the alternative methods • Consultation Round # 3 - February 2006 After the identification of the preferred alternative method • Consultation Round #4 - September 2006 After the identification of the preferred concept design and before the preparation of the EA Report. 3.5.2 Comments .r a) Because of the general nature of the Terms of Reference, the successful execution of the study will depend largely on how it is directed during the various work activities. Therefore, it is important that there be adequate and timely consultation with the various stakeholders and advisory groups that have been established. WN ,■, REPORT NO.: PSD-134-04 PAGE 7 b) The EA study schedule should be sufficiently flexible to provide for additional consultation with stakeholders as required. The integrity of the EA process is dependent upon the ability of the public and interested groups to provide input and to have their concerns .. properly addressed. c) The Terms of Reference should identify workshops/information �•• centres at key points in the EA study that warrant more intensive and interactive consultation — for example, on the issue of"need", and the identification of a preferred alternative and an EA study area. d) Public Information Centres and other study—related activities should be advertised at least twice and in a prominent location in local newspapers. e) E-mail should be a recognized way to receive input during the EA by the proponent and MOE. fl The Terms of Reference should require the project team (TSH) and MTO to regularly update the 407 East EA website and the MTO website. g) The 30 day window for the submission of comments on the revised Terms of Reference does not allow for a thorough review of the document and does not recognize the meeting schedule of municipal �. Councils. The comment period for key documents should be expanded to at least 45 days. 3.6 Clarington Highway 407 Community Advisory Committee r. 3.6.1 The Clarington Highway 407 Community Advisory Committee is the only residents' advisory group established by a Council in Durham Region. Its members include representatives from the commercial and industrial sector, the agricultural community and LACAC, as well as unaffiliated members of the public, and as such is a valuable resource for both Clarington Council and the ., project team. 3.6.2 Comments a) The Terms of Reference should recognize the Clarington 407 CAC as a specific stakeholder group and require the project team to provide regular updates to the CAC at key points in the EA study. b) The Terms of Reference should indicate that the project team will aw meet with the Clarington CAC on a regular basis during the study. 4.0 CONCLUSION .. The EA study process must move forward or the result will be a gridlock on our current highway system which the economy can not afford. The current Terms •• of Reference can be used as a step in that direction. Given the timeline that REPORT NO.: PSD-134-04 PAGE 8 No has been set out it will only be achievable if the public, interested groups and agencies can put forward their concerns and have then addressed by MTO in a ..� timely, fair and transparent process. Clarington, by forming a CAC, has provided MTO with additional public input that would otherwise not be available. Staff and the CAC will continue to work together with the consultants, and MTO ••' to advance the process. am Attachments: 1.

Additional studies should be undertaken to determine the current need for additional transportation capacity in Durham Region, and should also address transportation needs in Kawartha/Halibuton and Northumberland County. The ToR should address the policy context in which the EA is being conducted and how it will be affected by other provincial initiatives, such as the establishment of the Greater Toronto Transportation Authority, the proposed GTA Greenbelt, GO Transit expansion, the revised Provincial Policy Statement, and Smart Growth/Growth Management. Given that a specific project has not yet been defined, MTO should formally re-invite all federal authorities to participate in the EA process to ensure effective federal involvement throughout the EA process. A Transportation Planning/Need Report will be prepared during the first phase of the individual Environmental Assessment that will examine the need for transportation improvements within and through Durham Region to neighbouring regions A statement has been added in Section 2.1 to state that 407 East is being undertaken within the context of all related provincial initiatives. The Ministry of Transportation will re-contact all federal, provincial and municipal agencies at the commencement of the individual Environmental Assessment. Federal authority participation will be coordinated by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency(CEAA). The 1989 Overview Study is one of many studies being used by the Project Team to provide supporting information for the determination of transportation need. The Terms of Reference have been revised (Section 2.3—Transportation Problems)to list all of the studies that will be reviewed. Section 2.1 (Policy Framework) is a new section that lists the Provincial, Regional and local policy documents that will be reviewed to determine the policy framework within which transportation problems and potential solutions will be considered. Other important policy documents should be added to the list. Response partially accepted. See Section 3.1.2 of the Report for additional comments. Section 1.2 (Federal/Provincial Environmental Assessment Co-ordination) has been retained in the revised Terms of Reference.

While the figures for population can be considered forecasts,the numbers used for employment are less reliable because they are based on a full build out of employment lands at selected densities. Other population and employment scenarios need to be considered. The EA must provide a comprehensive analysis of transportation demand for existing and future conditions, including intermediate planning horizons within the overall planning period. The revised EA ToR indicates that population and employment and other relevant transportation data will be reviewed during the individual EA. Consideration of alternative growth rates and forecasts within Durham and in communities adjacent to Durham will be included in the planning need work to be undertaken within the individual EA. The Durham Transportation Master Plan (DTMP) suggests that Highway 407 Extension through Durham is required but also recognizes that this potential corridor is under the jurisdiction of the Province and that it would be subject to an individual EA to confirm the need and identify the location for a highway/transitway. The Project Team has also verbally advised that the growth forecasts prepared by the Province and the Region are regularly updated and have been generally accepted. Sensitivity testing will be undertaken on the growth scenarios to determine the effect of variances from the forecasts—eg. population growth occurring earlier or later than forecasted. The individual Environmental Assessment will examine existing conditions, 2011, 2021 and 2031 planning horizons. I It may also be useful to explore alternative growth scenarios prepared by independent organizations to ensure the integrity of the growth projections used in the EA study The Transportation Planning/Need Report to be prepared as part of the EA will be reviewed for thoroughness at the time it is released. Response partially accepted. See Section 3.2.2 of the Report for additional comments. A new statement has been added to Section 2.5 of the revised Terms of Reference that states that the transportation Planning/Need Report will include demand forecasting and transportation analysis for the 2011,20121,and 2031 planning horizons. 0 MTO/TSH RESPONSES TO COMMENTS PROVIDED BY THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON ON THE HIGHWAY 407 EA DRAFT TERMS OF REFERENCE Clarington Comment(Report PSD-082-04) MTO/TSH Response Staff Comment The argument that improved transportation Economic development documentation/data The documents and data sources that will be infrastructure is needed to stimulate economic sources will be identified during the individual referenced should be listed in the Terms of growth in Durham Region needs to be supported EA.

The ToR describe the purpose of the undertaking, but do not specifically define what the"undertaking"is. From a review of the ToR, specifically Section 1.1, it would appear that the intended undertaking is to provide additional east-west and north-south transportation capacity within and through Durham Region over the next 30 years. However, it is not within MTO's mandate to provide a comprehensive transportation plan for Durham Region that could involve modifications to the regional and local road networks, local and GO Transit, and rail freight on the CN and CP rail lines.As well, the title of the ToR indicates that the EA will address the Highway 407 East Completion. Therefore, a definition of the undertaking should be included in the ToR that accurately reflects what the EA will actually address.A possible definition of an undertaking could be as follows: "To identify problems with east-west and north-south transportation capacity in Durham Region over the next 30 years, and to evaluate alternative solutions to the identified problems, including the extension of Highway 407 East to Highway 35/115". This will be considered during the first phase of the individual Environmental Assessment (Transportation Planning/Need Report). The Purpose of the Undertaking is defined in Chapter 2. The individual EA may recommend improvements to transportation systems outside provincial jurisdictions. Such recommendations will be provided to appropriate jurisdictions for further consideration and action. It is recognized that the Terms of Reference are not permitted to scope the EA study. However, it would be useful at this stage to identify the types of documents that should be referenced in the EA Study. Response partially accepted. See Section 3.2.2 of the Report for additional comments. The revised Terms of Reference provide a more comprehensive discussion of the Purpose of the Undertaking in Section 2.0. In particular, there is a more specific recognition that transportation problems in Durham Region cannot be addressed in isolation and that there are existing and anticipated capacity constraints on key linkages between Durham and communities to the west and east. The statement of the Purpose of the Undertaking has been revised to read:"The purpose of this individual EA is to assess existing and future anticipated transportation capacity deficiencies within the Region of Durham and to determine the needs from a Provincial perspective."

In order for the EA study process to be comprehensive and effective, MTO should look at transportation problems and opportunities in a holistic fashion and not just focus on highways. This will ensure that other transportation providers, such as GO Transit, will contribute the input necessary for alternative solutions to be considered. MTO/TSH Response Chapter 4 of the EA ToR provides a description of a process for generating alternatives to the undertaking and, assessing and selecting the preferred alternative to the undertaking. MTO will examine broad-based transportation problems and opportunities and not merely focus on highways. Alternatives to the undertaking include all modes as well as Transportation Demand Management and Transportation Systems Management strategies and initiatives (See Chapter 4 of the EA ToR). Staff Comment A new section has been added to the Terms of Reference(Section 4.1.1 —Assessment of Alternatives to the Undertaking). This section indicates that each of the Alternatives identified in the Terms of Reference will be assessed against the transportation, economic and environmental criteria set out in Table 4.1 to determine: • expected effects and impacts • general actions that may mitigate or remedy the identified effects • advantages and disadvantages of each alternative. The Terms of Reference indicate that Table 4.1 represents the minimum considerations and may be modified based on input received and study findings. The report outlining the evaluation of the alternatives will be reviewed to ensure that the analysis is sufficiently thorough. Section 4 of the Terms of Reference discusses the Alternatives To the Undertaking and has been revised to provide a more detailed discussion of each of the Alternatives to be reviewed.

In Table 4.1, the term"environment"must be used in its fullest sense to include the natural, cultural, and socioeconomic environments. Many of the alternatives, including the combined alternative, involve improvements to infrastructure that are outside the jurisdiction of the provincial government—eg. improvements to local transit and the regional road system. The analysis of the various alternatives must address the ability of these alternatives to be The process used to select a preferred alternative should include descriptive tables or reports outlining the potential impacts of each alternative on each feature, and potential mitigation and net impacts. MTO/TSH Response Expansion of GO Rail services to Clarington will be examined as part of the Transportation Planning/Need phase of the individual Environmental Assessment. Environment is meant to be used in its fullest sense. Clarification has been added to the EA ToR in Section 3. All of the transportation, economic and environmental criteria listed in Table 4.1 relate to the broad definition of environment as detailed in the Environmental Assessment Act. The analysis will be based on the planned infrastructure improvements identified in the Official Plans, TMPs, etc., of the Regional and local municipalities. Comments on the impact of not having certain elements of the infrastructure in place can be made. The potential impacts of each alternative method will be detailed in the study documentation during the individual EA. Expected effects and impacts, potential mitigation measures and advantages and disadvantages of alternatives to the undertaking and alternative methods will be examined as detailed in Chapters 4 and 5 of the EA ToR. Staff Comment I The original comment related to the assessment of Alternatives To and not to the Transportation Planning/Need phase of the study. Nevertheless, the Alternatives To identified in the terms of Reference includes improved and/or new commuter rail service. The definition of"environment'set out in the Ontario Environmental Protection Act is used in the Terms of Reference. This definition includes the natural environment(air, land,water, plant and animal life including humans)and the social, economic and cultural conditions that influence the life of humans or a community. The likelihood of any alternative being implemented has a direct effect on the effectiveness of this alternative and therefore warrants a more detailed analysis than suggested by the project team. Response partially accepted. See Section 3.3.2 of the Report for additional comments. Response accepted. If F� MTO/TSH RESPONSES TO COMMENTS PROVIDED BY THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON ON THE HIGHWAY 407 EA DRAFT TERMS OF REFERENCE Clarington Comment(Report PSD-082-04) The evaluation approach proposed-appears to be suitable because it allows for trade-offs and recognizes that it is unlikely that any alternative method will be found to be"perfect'with maximum advantages and no disadvantages. The ToR should require that the EA include specific examples of how alternative transportation solutions have been applied in similar circumstances, and outline their effectiveness and environmental impacts.The current 400 series highways could be used as examples to demonstrate the impact and effectiveness of the 407 east extension The assessment of the 407 East extension should look at toll and non-toll alternatives. The various alternatives to the undertaking should be assessed at various stages of implementation to tie in with the growth of transportation demand. The assessment of the various alternatives should include an analysis of any required capital improvements by the local and regional governments resulting from the construction of the highway, and ways that the economic impact on the municipalities could be mitigated. MTO/TSH Response Comment noted. It would be useful to highlight examples of successful mitigation measures applied to other transportation solutions during the individual EA. We will carry this comment forward to the individual EA. This comment relates to a highway/transitway solution. This comment will be carried forward for consideration to the individual Environmental Assessment. The planning need will include an assessment of how highway/transitway solutions amongst other potential solutions, may address the defined problems. In consideration of highway solutions,the effect of tolling will be considered. Sensitivity testing using a range of tolling strategies will also be considered. The alternatives to the undertaking will be assessed at the planning horizon years previously noted. It is premature to reference a highway as the preferred solution. Costs and benefits to the Region and its area municipalities will be assessed according to the criterion/factors in the EA ToR. I t t. t _ ! t t t t t t Staff Comment The evaluation approach proposed by the current terms of Reference, although somewhat modified, remains basically unchanged. Response accepted. The original comment suggested that the EA evaluate both the effectiveness and the impact of the various alternatives in similar situations. The response provided only addressed the issue of impact. Response partially accepted. See Section 3.3.2 of the Report for additional comments. The thoroughness of the evaluation of toll and non-toll alternatives will be reviewed at such time as the report detailing the selection of the preferred alternative is released by the project team.

The protection of both of these wetlands, as well as the protection of the Bowmanville-Courtice urban separator, will need to be considered when determining an appropriate alignment for Highway 407 and/or the East Durham Link. The ToR should require that that the human health risks be addressed in the assessment of alternative methods. MTO/TSH Response The EA ToR indicates that evaluation criteria are subject to refinement and modification during the individual EA. Decision rules outlining the levels of importance, quality and/or sensitivity of features and functions can be considered during the individual EA. Special considerations to the noted objectives and others can be considered during the individual Environmental Assessment through adjustment to the factor weights used in the arithmetic evaluation process as outlined in the EA ToR.

Effective consultation is dependent upon MTO providing sufficient information about the project to agencies and public in a timely manner. The general nature of the ToR will require public consultation throughout the EA process to ensure that alternatives are not dismissed too easily. MTO has not made sufficient effort to explain major changes to the ToR and the EA process arising out of the recent court decision. PICs should include a presentation component, along with Q &A session, to permit the public to better understand the project and process, to hear answers right there and then to ask questions. This still permits those preferring to ask questions one on one the opportunity to do so. MTO/TSH Response The EA will include provisions and commitments that must be adhered to during design, construction and operation of any facility regardless of who the constructor or operator might be. The EA ToR includes a detailed consultation program (Section 7).There is sufficient flexibility in the program to allow stakeholders to request a specific amount of advance notice and/or specific documentation to facilitate participation in the individual EA studv. The EA ToR has allowed for four(4)formal points of contact throughout the individual EA. Public comment is encouraged at any time throughout the process. The format of Public Information Centres will be reviewed prior to each round. PICs may or may not include a presentation/question and answer component, depending on the nature of the material to be presented. Staff Comment I The EA study will be reviewed to ensure that the provisions and commitments included will be binding on any future proponent or owner. However, it must be recognized that the Provincial Government, if it sells or transfer jurisdiction of the project, can choose to impose or remove any restrictions it sees fit to do so. The proposed consultation program does not provide sufficient opportunities for effective public involvement at key points in the EA process. Response partially accepted.

Reference — e.g. what events/requests must occur before MTO considers additional consultation opportunities? Further, a compliance monitoring plan must set out all commitments that would be adhered to by proponent, whoever that might ultimately be. • The project team must commit in the Terms of Reference that field and current studies will be undertaken in all instances where secondary data is outdated or unreliable, or where studies were conducted in a manner that would not be consistent with protocols identified in the Terms of Reference, or to the satisfaction of agencies with a relevant mandate.. Policy Framework • The list of studies to be reviewed as outlined in Section 2.1 of the Terms of Reference should be revised to include: • the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan • Building a Better Tomorrow (Feb. 2004) • Greater Toronto Transportation Authority— Regional Transportation Strategy • All related recently completed or ongoing MTO studies such as: Goods Movement Study, Transit Opportunities Study, HOV lanes and Commuter Parking Lots study. Transportation Planning and Need Report • The Region of Durham's population and employment growth figures must be updated and must incorporate the most current population/growth/employment/transportation-travel ' pattern figures — e.g. 2001 census plus others etc., then be compared to figures of other independent sources — i.e. those organizations that have no vested interest in growth/transportation planning. Also, alternate growth scenarios must be explored to ensure growth projections are integrated with horizon years for the EA study. • The transportation demands for existing and future conditions should be very thoroughly documented. This should include intermediate planning horizons in the overall planning period. • The proponent and project team should commit in the Terms of Reference that: any studies shown as background information would be current and/or studies showing historical data should only be relied upon to the degree that the information therein is still relevant to current EA study. .r rw Identification and Evaluation of Alternatives • The project team must fully assess issues around implementation of a combined alternative transportation solution, including but not limited to funding, timing, and staging. • All documents (federal/provincial/regional/local) related to transportation plans and related funding commitments must be brought forward for discussion in the EA. • The process for generating and evaluating alternatives should follow the process set out for alternative methods, i.e. that they be: comprehensive, understandable, replicable, traceable and participatory. • Stakeholder consultation occur prior to the project team identifying the preferred alternative. Clarington has the largest stake in the Durham region in the 407 project. If the alternatives in the Terms of Reference are not looked at with the diligence required, then Clarington as a community will be paying the highest price. • The Terms of Reference state that after three months, the Study Team will define a preferred alternative. This appears to be too short a time period to specify a Study Area and preferred alternative. It would seem more reasonable to use the initial segment of the study to screen alternatives, define a study area and establish a work program that looks at full completion of the Highway 407 East including the connector links as one option. As well, other selected modes of dealing with the transportation issues that could be used in conjunction with and/or as alternatives to the 407 should be identified. The preferred alternative (which may include a mix of transportation modes) would then be defined near the end of the study when advantages and disadvantages of specific options have been more fully explored. The analysis of alternatives should clearly outline the implications and i" impact of not having Highway 407 completed given various traffic demand forecasts and alternative transportation scenarios. •• During the course of the Study, approaches other than the Highway 407 may be identified to deal with transportation problems (This could be alternatives to 407 or complimentary components of an overall transportation solution). The Study Team should cite specific examples of where these other approaches have been applied in circumstances similar to the conditions found in Clarington and should detail their effectiveness and environmental impacts. • The effectiveness and environmental impacts of the current 400 series highways should be used as examples to demonstrate the impact and effectiveness of the 407 east extension. Consultation — General Comments • The project team should commit to undertaking task - appropriate workshops/consultation methods on aspects of the EA study that stakeholders have identified as requiring more intensive and interactive consultation. • Stakeholder consultation must occur on "need", identification of preliminary study area within which "alternatives to" would be identified, as well as objectives for assessing „r evaluating alternatives prior to project team coming forward with a preferred alternative. r 627 • All stakeholders including government reviewers must be provided with sufficient notice of consultation opportunities and with EA documents in a timely manner, to permit them to respond fully by the appropriate deadlines. • The consultation record must be provided at the earliest opportunity, to permit stakeholders to review how consultation occurred, and results to determine if sufficient. ., • Regularly scheduled advisory group meetings should be held to provide opportunities for exchange of information, questions and answer sessions and project updates —in addition to those meetings required to deal with project - specific issues The public, municipal and agency advisory group representatives are more likely to be able to attend meetings regularly if they and/or alternates know the meeting schedule in advance. Also, given the amount of project specific information that must be absorbed, regular updates and question and answer sessions allow for advisory group representatives to better absorb complex and detailed information incrementally. • The process must move forward or the result will be a gridlock on our current highway system that our economy can't afford. The current Terms of Reference has to be used as a step in that direction. The MTO must however give a timeline that can be achieved with + + enough input' from the public and interested groups so that these concerns can be addressed sufficiently and that all parties have a fair say in the process. Public Consultation • The principles of public consultation must be stated clearly in the Terms of Reference. Accessibility is a key to meaningful consultation. There should be stakeholder access to: information, documents, deliverables, project team and the proponent — i.e.. access to the people and resources associated with the project. As well, via related processes, public stakeholders must have access to municipal staff and elected officials as they take decisions related to EA throughout the study. • Future Public Information Centres/meetings must contain a formal presentation, sufficient time for a question and answer session, to run concurrently with a drop-in meeting for those who do not wish to hear presentations and engage in a question and answer session. • The proponent must advertise at least twice on every occasion — in major GTA newspapers as well as local papers. Ads must be located in prominent sections of paper that are generally read by public — e.g. first or GTA section in major papers, first 10 pages or so in local papers. • All EA notices/advertisements must include e-mail contact information for those listed on the notice, and must be a recognized way to receive input during the EA by the proponent and MOE, as well as all related reviewers. • The project team must agree to provide regular updates to the Clarington 407 CAC at key .• points in the EA study, and upon request. Key project team personnel must be available to provide such updates to stakeholders throughout the study. • All advisory group meetings should be open to the public with upcoming meeting dates posted on the project website. The public must be aware of issues brought forward/comments by public servants and public representatives on the Community �`" wrr Advisory Group, as they occur— not many months down the road when and if summaries get posted on website. • The role of meeting facilitators should be restricted to facilitation — they should not be employed in any other capacity by the project team to avoid any perception of bias. �- • When anything causes the EA schedule to change, this should be shown on the project team website, with an explanatory note. The project team and proponent must commit to updating the project team's and proponent's websites regularly . • The EA study schedule in the Terms of Reference should be reviewed and amended to include specific consultation opportunities. Also, sufficient flexibility should be incorporated into the entire schedule to provide for additional consultation as requested by stakeholders, and to permit sufficient time for conducting field work that must be undertaken for a number of seasons at specific times of the year. • The Terms of Reference present a broad un-scoped approach to studying the transportation needs of The Region of Durham and the Municipality of Clarington in relation to large-scale transportation needs. Because the Terms of Reference are general, the successful execution of the study will depend largely in how it is directed during the various work activities. Therefore, it is important that there be adequate timely consultation with the various stakeholders and advisory groups that have been established. The Clarington CAC has requested quarterly meetings with the Study Team as a basic guide for the frequency of consultation. Agency Consultation • MOE must ensure that all government agencies are identified early in the EA process so that stakeholders can be assured that all agencies with a related mandate are involved in EA study. • All advisory group meetings should be open to the public with upcoming meeting dates posted on project website. The public must be aware of issues brought forward/ comments by public servants and public representatives on the Community Advisory Group , as they occur — not many months down the road when and if summaries get posted on website. Community Advisory Group • MTO's Community Advisory Group (CAG) must be revamped prior to start of the EA study to ensure that the CAG is composed of members who represent the diversity of interests .. of the impacted community. • Member selection criteria and a clear group mandate should be set out in the Terms of Reference to guide municipal selection of appointees, and the project team's at large "` selection of members. rr 1 ' Leading the Way REPORT PLANNING SERVICES Meeting: GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE Date: Monday, November 1, 2004 Report#: PSD-135-04 File#: ZBA 2004-041 By-law#: Subject: APPLICATION FOR REMOVAL OF PART LOT CONTROL APPLICANT: BLACK CREEK DEVELOPMENTS LTD.

The removal of Part Lot Control would facilitate the construction of the approved semi-detached dwelling within the registered plan. 3.0 COMMENTS 3.1 Staff has no objection to the approval of a By-law exempting the subject lands from Part Lot Control. Attached is a By-law (Attachment 2) to exempt the subject lands from Section 50 (5) of the Planning Act. 3.2 Attachment 3 is a Summary Table provided in accordance with the Region of Durham's requirements under the delegation of Part Lot Control. It details lots/blocks affected by the Part Lot Control By-law, the unit type and the number of the Part Lot Control By-law. 3.3 The Finance Department has confirmed that the taxes are up to date for the subject properties. 4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 In consideration of the comments noted above, approval of the removal of Part Lot Control By-law as shown on the attached by-law (Attachment 2) is recommended. ' 4.2 In accordance with Subsection 7.3 of Section 50 of the Planning Act, the Part Lot Control By-law may provide a specified timeframe during which the By-law shall be in force. As a result, it is not necessary for Staff to prepare a second By-law to restore Part Lot Control on the subject lands. The Planning Act leaves it to the Municipality to determine an appropriate timeframe during which the By-law shall apply. Staff recommends that the By-law be in force for a three (3) year period following Council approval, ending November 8, 2007. .r ar REPORT NO.: PSD-135-04 PAGE 3 r Attachments: Attachment 1 - Key Map for Removal of Part Lot Control Application Attachment 2 - By-law for Removal of Part Lot Control Attachment 3 - Unit Type and Number Summary Table r. r.. 632 ATTACHMENT 1 - GEORGE REYNOLDS BLOCK 72 � `�1 DRIVE BLOCK GEORGE REYNOLDS (0.30 I 9rri P.ut �a KRE'E " DRIVE N76'10'30'E 26700-0313 26700-0312 N821 27.587 N8 J 47'E LOT 1 A=582800 25 26700-0278 N 25 -7-m 0=58.241 N n F- LOT 2 ^ N71. 7' N85515 z P.I.N. ^ m n 0 f W 26700-0279 $ N N U LOT ? 26 ° m $ PART 1, PLAN OR - 558 W PJ N. m m N ^ w 92 5tB Ln 26700-0260 ^ 32.500 rn v PA s 27 g L 0 T 30 26700-0281 m m `- LOT 5 N71 ' P.I.N. ^ 32.500 ^ ° ° p 26700-0282 0° 0 0 o z LOT 6 m P8 C m 67 m s d O P.I.N. ^ ^ Ui W 26700-0283 32.500 32.500 BLOCK 70 n PJ.N. o ° o PART, 26700-0516 8 29 m 66 $ L 0 T 2 9 PART 2 O P.I.N. °p m Q m 0 PART 3 �26700-0515 00 ^ ^ ^ Z PART 4 P.I.N. 32.500 C3 o 32.500 ° 2si.

Franklin Wu, Director of Planning Services Chief Administrative Officer HB/FUDJC/df 22 October 2004 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 636 .rr REPORT NO.: PSD-136-04 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 The Municipality of Port Hope was incorporated on January 1, 2001. It is the result of the amalgamation of the former Town of Port Hope and the former Township of Hope. 1.2 Due to the amalgamation, the Municipality inherited two separate planning approaches. In April 2003 the Municipality of Port Hope undertook an Official Plan Review, Update and Consolidation by issuing a Policy Direction Report which Staff commented on. 1.3 The Planning Advisory Committee of the Municipality of Port Hope has issued a working draft of their Official Plan and requested comments prior to presentation of the document to Port Hope Council scheduled for later this year. �+ 2.0 COMMENTS • 2.1 Staff have received and reviewed the working draft of the Municipality of Port Hope Official Plan. The working draft is clear and comprehensive and addresses a number of concerns that we had previously brought to the attention of the planning staff in Port Hope. While we have some comments, specific to the inter-relationship of the two municipalities, the Planning Advisory Committee is to be commended for the vision that is set out in the document. 2.2 Wesleyville Employment Area is located in close proximity to the Municipality of Clarington's eastern boundary. The eastern portion of Clarington is predominantly rural in nature and it is anticipated to remain this way for some time. Development of the employment area at Wesleyville, although planned for many years, will have an impact. Careful consideration of the transportation impacts and induced pressure for other forms of development will have to be carefully planned so as to preserve the rural structure of that portion of Clarington. 2.3 The proposals for Tucker Creek have been deleted from this working draft of the Official Plan. Clarington is very pleased to see that our comments regarding the impacts on servicing, transportation and change to the predominantly rural and agricultural eastern portion of Clarington have been taken into consideration in this most recent draft. The precedent that the Tucker Creek proposal would have set for new uses and future .� expansions, including the creation of a new settlement area supporting residential, commercial, office and recreational uses was unacceptable to the Municipality of Clarington as set out in our reports (PSD-063-03 and PSD-079-04). 2.4 We have concerns with Schedule D -Transportation as it does not show any future trail „ connections, it would be reassuring to have indicated the Oak Ridges Moraine Trail and Waterfront Trail at least conceptually to ensure that the future inter-connections between the municipalities are there when the trails are being developed. Given the removal of the Tucker Creek development and that Wesleyville will be serviced from the 401 and Wesleyville Road we see no need for the future collector shown from Townline REPORT NO.: PSD-136-04 PAGE 3 to Wesleyville Road; futher we would have concerns that this future collector could impact the transportation patterns in this portion of Clarington. 2.5 In Section C under the general principles outlined, it is troublesome that there is no provision (even conceptually) for wildlife corridors. From the Second Marsh in Oshawa, through Clarington and into the Municipality of Port Hope we have a rare opportunity of ow being able to promote a near shore wildlife corridor that does not exist anywhere else along Lake Ontario. Consideration should be given to adding an objective that promotes wildlife corridors both along the lake and back up the valley systems to the "" Ganaraska Forest and Oak Ridges Moraine. 2.6 In the General Provisions under the Natural Heritage Section we are suggesting that a policy regarding the need to undertake multi-stakeholder watershed planning studies in order to protect the integrity of ecological and hydrological functions be added. In this regard, the inter-relationship between the headwaters of creeks and rivers that cross from Port Hope into Clarington and vice versa will have reciprocal policies in the Official Plans. In addition, this provides for the overall planning of how storm water management will function when the drainage of an area will flow to the other municipality. This will provide for consultation regarding contiguous natural features, as well. 2.7. The draft Official Plan document permits alteration to the limits of the Aggregate Reserve Area without the need for an amendment to the Official Plan. Identification of, .. or deletion of, Aggregate Reserve Area requires studies to support the change and any revision could have potential impacts on future land uses. As such, it is suggested that changes to the limits of an Aggregate Reserve Area be undertaken by amendment. 2.8 It is suggested that upon closure of a licenced operation or a revoked licence that the Municipality of Port Hope revisit the drafted Official Plan policies requiring that an application be submitted to rezone the lands without the need for an Official Plan Amendment. If the Municipality deletes the overlay designation without an amendment to the Plan and then amend the Zoning By-law to delete aggregate extraction this would remove the onus from the landowner to submit an amendment application. 2.9 Review of development applications and the supporting documentation to permit a new or expanded Extraction Area can consume a lot of municipal resources. Also, there may be technical studies submitted that either the Municipality or the Conservation Authority do not have the technical expertise or resources to review. It is suggested .. that the Municipality consider inclusion of policies that identify what studies would be required to be submitted in support of an application to permit or expand an aggregate extraction area and policies that would provide the Municipality with the opportunity to .. peer review these studies at the expense of the proponent. 3.0 CONCLUSIONS 3.1 The Municipality of Port Hope is to be commended for the work completed to date. We appreciate the opportunity to comment during the Official Plan review process. 638 rr REPORT NO.: PSD-136-04 PAGE 4 List of interested parties to be advised of Council's decision: •w Planning Advisory Committee Municipality of Port Hope mi 56 Queen Street P.O.

Total site area is 28.43 hectares. .r 2.0 LOCATION 2.1 The subject lands are located within Part Lot 1, Concession 3, City of Oshawa, Parts 1 and 2, Plan 40R-15946. Specifically, the lands are on the west side of Townline Road North, a short distance south of Taunton Road and north of the future extension of Beatrice Street East. 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 On September 3, 2004, the Municipality of Clarington was circulated by the City of Oshawa to provide comments on the above draft plan of subdivision. 3.2 The area subject to the Draft Plan of Subdivision is located within the Part II Plan for the Pinecrest Planning Area. The lands are designated residential. 3.3 The plan of subdivision as circulated provides for a range of lot and unit types, providing flexibility for the lands to be subdivided in various ways through Part Lot Control. 3.4 Mr. and Mrs. L. Heard of 1339 Townline Road North contacted staff with respect to concerns for medium density townhouses being located along Townline Road. They indicated that they believed townhouses would devalue their property. 4.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 4.1 The application was circulated to the Municipality of Clarington Engineering Services Department for review. The following comments have been received: ir. REPORT NO.: PSD-137-04 PAGE 3 Sidewalks and Street Illumination The City of Oshawa and the applicant will be responsible for 100% of the cost of any sidewalk or illumination improvements that are deemed necessary on Regional Road 55 to service this development. Storm Water Drainage All storm drainage flows, both minor and major,-must be self contained within the City of Oshawa and the road allowance for Regional Road 55. The developer's engineer must demonstrate this prior to final approval. 5.0 STAFF COMMENTS .. 5.1 All existing development on the Clarington side of Townline Road North is based on private well and septic services. The applicant will be required to prepare a hydrogeological report to assess any potential impact of development on neighbouring .r wells so that preconstruction information is available for subsequent monitoring. .. 5.2 The City of Oshawa should confirm in writing that it will be responsible to assume and accept all costs for street illumination, and/or sidewalk improvements on Townline Road North, including their future maintenance. w 5.3 With respect to the comments of Mr. and Mrs. Heard, given the range of residential units provided for in the draft plan, there is the possibility that there may be no townhouse units. However, it is likely that there will at least be some townhouse units along Townline Road. The preferred location for medium density development is along arterial roads. Staff have no objection. 6.0 CONCLUSION .. 6.1 In consideration of the comments provided within this report, it is recommended that the Municipality would have no objection to the approval of the Draft Plan of Subdivision provided the City of Oshawa confirms its responsibility for improvements on Townline Road North as a result of the development on Townline Road North subject to the Condition of Draft Approval contained in Attachment 2.

This by-law regulated smoking in public places and in the workplace within the Region. 1.2 As recreation facilities were specifically designated as public places in the by- law, there is no longer any smoking in any of our recreation facilities. Signage has been provided in the recreation facilities to inform the public. +r� 1.3 This by-law is specific in terms of no smoking within the facilities, however, it does not address the issue of smoking at or near the entrances. This means that patrons may have to walk through a group smoking at or near the entrance doors, and if windy conditions exist, there may be smoke blowing into the facilities. 1.4 In discussions with the Region of Durham Public Health Department, staff have been informed that it would be useful to use the distance of 9 metres from any entrance since the recommended distance for designated smoking areas is 9 t metres. 1.5 Signage will be installed at all recreation facilities to inform patrons of the new procedure and where designated smoking areas are located. Permanent signage will be in place in early November. 2.0 COMMENTS 2.1 Staff is advising Council of this operational procedure which will assist the .r department to provide all patrons smoke free access to our facilities, while providing patrons designated areas where smoking is permitted.

GSM Design is an internationally renowned firm specializing in museum and special collections display. 1.3 The museum facility will be a 3,500 square foot addition to the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex and will become a destination locale for local residents and •'�1 sports enthusiasts, as well as, an asset to tourism within the municipality. 2.0 COMMENTS 2.1 The development of the museum project is a complex project when taking into consideration the display of the artifacts within the museum inclusive of the operation of the museum as a destination and tourist attraction within the Municipality. 2.2 A committee of staff, Joan and Brian McFarlane, Barry Bryan Associates and Bill Humber(local historian, author and sports enthusiast) is meeting regularly to guide the development of the project. 2.3 The key component to establishing the display is the creation of a story line that will both 'tell the story', and at the same time be interesting to the patron. The overall theme of the display is integral to the physical design of the building. 2.4 To establish the story line, the committee has created a mission statement that will become the guide to the evolution of the project. The mission statement is: "To present and preserve an informative, educational and entertaining history of the evolution of hockey." 1064 REPORT NO.: CSD-14-04 PAGE 3 2.5 The mission statement was predicated on two main themes — the values of hockey and the evolution of hockey. Hockey has a significant impact on us as Canadians; it is what defines us as Canadians and has been a steadying influence and focal point in our rural communities. Hockey has evolved over generations from a pastime enjoyed by young Canadian children on the local rivers and ponds to international competition of nations competing for Olympic Gold. Clarington's Brian McFarlane Hockey Museum will tell the story of that evolution. It is not intended to be a Hall of Fame which celebrates the heroes of the sport, but rather an evolving story which will develop specific storylines to `' chronicle the history of the sport and the impact it has upon us. 2.6 As an addition to the Garnet B. Rickard Complex, the construction of the physical museum facility will be situated in the main courtyard. Through the process of development of the project, the Community Services Department with the assistance of the Communications and Marketing Division of Corporate Services Department has prepared and issued a Request for Proposal for consulting services to develop a Business Plan for the marketing and operations of the museum. The Business Plan will identify strategies for the promotion and marketing in terms of immediate, two year, five year and ten year milestone dates. the 2.7 The Business Plan will further provide a detailed program for the promotion of the museum and, will take the story line and mission statement into consideration when developing the marketing and promotional aspects of the plan. 2.8 The committee has met several times and is currently meeting every three weeks to review the progress of the development of the project, in particular conceptual discussions in reference to the development of the museum program. The next critical step for the committee is the development of the story line. This process will involve detailed discussions around the actual collection. Conceptually, the museum collection is the story of the development of hockey both within Canada and the world. W 2.9 Once the story line is developed, GSM Design will commence the interior design of the museum. Concurrent with the design of the interior, Barry Bryan .. Associates will develop the structural aspects of the building design which is integral to the display of the artifacts taking into consideration requirements such as lighting, security and environmental controls to protect the collection. W i.. r.. 1005 REPORT NO.: CSD-14-04 PAGE 4 3.0 CONCLUSION 3.1 In addition, the architects will be taking current design restraints of the existing facility to ensure a smooth transition of movement of both arena patrons and museum patrons within the facility. The suggested time frame for the opening of the museum is Spring of 2006. This date has been suggested as the preparation of the story line and display ultimate integration into the museum facility is time- intensive. 3.2 The Community Services Department will continue to provide update reports to Council as progress continues. 1006 1 � n ar lam Leading the Way REPORT COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT Meeting: The General Purpose and Administration Committee Date: November 1, 2004 Resolution #: Report#: CSD-15-04 File #: By-law #: • Subject: SUMMER DAY CAMP PROGRAM - 2004 Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1.

CSD-15-04 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 For the past number of years, the Community Services Department has provided a Summer Day Camp program for our residents. The program has grown from two general eight week camps at Courtice Community Complex and Rickard Recreation Complex serving 4 - 12 year olds to the following variety of general and specialty programs offered in 2004 to a wider range of youth across the entire municipality. Early Bird Camp (Rickard RC) 4-12 years 3 days Courtice Day Camp 4-12 years 8 weeks Rickard Day Camp 4-12 years 8 weeks Newcastle Day Camp 4-12 years 8 weeks Sports Camp (South Courtice Arena) 8-14 years 8 weeks Trip Camp 8-14 years 8 weeks Skateboard Camp 10 -16 years 8 weeks Mobile Playground (two funmobiles) open 8 weeks Drama Camp (Rickard RC) 8-14 years 2 weeks Leadership Camp 13-15 years 2 weeks 1.2 The Summer Day Camp program is advertised in the Community Guide and local newspapers. In addition, over 10,000 flyers were distributed to all elementary students through the Public and Catholic School boards. 1.3 Staff contacted local schools to offer our support and expertise at local fun fairs. Twelve schools accepted our offer and staff handed out flyers, answered questions from the public and ran fun, interactive activity stations promoting our summer programs. Banners and signage were erected at all facilities including the Newcastle Arena and the Newcastle Lions Pool. Registration for the camps began upon receipt of the Community Guide and continued throughout the spring and summer. 2.0 STAFF TRAINING 2.1 A total of 39 students were employed in day camps this summer as supervisors, instructors and counsellors. As well as providing leisure opportunities to the community youth, the Community Services Department plays a key role in developing future community leaders through our part time staff. Our staff are leaders both in our recreation programs and in their communities, through school, sports and other activities and we view the development of that leadership as important. Staff received 40 hours of pre-camp training in leadership development, team building, recognizing child abuse, program planning, behaviour management, conflict resolution and administrative responsibilities among other things. Staff meetings were also held weekly t REPORT NO. CSD-15-04 PAGE 3 W. throughout the summer to review issues, update staff and to develop a strong day camp team. All staff was required to be certified in First Aid and CPR and to supply current criminal reference checks. The staff was very dedicated and committed to the program and to the participants and brought a wide range of knowledge, experiences and enthusiasm to the program. To conclude our training and to kick off the summer, our staff was treated to a "Customer Service Appreciation Barbecue" hosted by the Municipality's Customer Service Implementation Team. This brought the staff team together for one last team building outing before they headed off to their camp locations. 2.2 The camp supervisors started work at the beginning of June. Their role was to develop all of the details of the camp program and special events, confirm the trips and transportation details and coordinate staff training. In addition the supervisors were active at community events and fun fairs, creating a department presence and promoting our summer programs. The earlier start for the aw supervisors also helps in the retention of senior staff. All of these staff are college or university students who have been with us for several years. In the past we would often lose some of these experienced staff to positions that could offer more than eight weeks of summer employment. 2.3 This year the camp supervisors were also involved in a Region-wide training session in June with 65 other senior day camp staff from Oshawa, Ajax, Whitby, Pickering, and Uxbridge. The evening included presentations by Durham Lives regarding new program ideas and a session by the YMCA on keeping your staff motivated throughout the summer. This evening was well received by staff and provided them with the opportunity to network and share program ideas with their counterparts from across the Region. 2.4 The supervisors also participated in a team building exercise at Lakeridge Experiential Education Facility. Activities included climbing, orienteering, high ropes and co-operative activities which challenged their strength, emotional boundaries and problem solving skills while building on their self esteem, self confidence and communication skills. Staff learned to depend on each other to achieve the team's goals. 2.5 At the end of the summer all staff attended a pot luck summer wrap up dinner. Staff enjoyed a wonderful meal followed by a summer evaluation discussion at which they were encouraged to provide feedback, both positive and constructive, on their camp experience. These comments will be considered when planning the 2005 program. it 1009 REPORT NO. CSD-15-04 PAGE 4 3.0 SUMMER DAY CAMP 3.1 In order to accommodate working parents, our extended hours service was provided again this year. Early drop off started at 7:30 a.m. and pick up ran as late as 5:30 p.m. This service was available at Newcastle Day Camp, Rickard Day Camp for Day camp and Drama Camp, Courtice Day Camp and South Courtice Sports Camp. 386 campers took advantage of this service throughout the summer. (See Attachment# 1) 3.2 Also, a special daily registration camp was offered June 28th, 29th and 30th prior to the start of the regular eight week camp program. This program was offered at one location only as a service to working parents and was incorporated into our staff training. Previous experience had shown that families do not attend full program day camps the first week surrounding the July 1 holiday, thus the short week is not financially viable to offer at all camp locations. 3.3 The campers were divided into groups, each week based on that week's p 9 P � registration. This allowed us to make better use of staff and to align the groups more appropriately based on the campers' age and maturity level. The weekly program revolved around a central theme with daily activities and special events catering to the.theme. Themes included: Wild Wacky Spo rt s Winter Wonderland Under the Big Top Creepy Creatures Wild Things Ocean Odyssey Slime, Grime, Gunk and Goo Friendship and Memories 3.4 Some of the more memorable special events this summer included a Camper Carnival where campers participated in a carnival of activities and were entertained by "Snapping Toes", a children's entertainer, a North Pole Carnival complete with real snow and a visit by Jungle Jack and his Creepy Creature Bug Collection. The Barnyard Bash at Watson's Farm provided campers with a hands on farming experience and concluded with a treat of fresh picked strawberries. Campers also had the opportunity to visit Upstairs at Loblaws where they learned how to create and enjoy delicious treats. Newcastle Day Camp visited Cal's Grill for hot lunches and Rickard Day Camp had Pizza Pizza Fridays. This was an excellent partnership that allowed our camps to make contacts and enhance our exposure in the community and it also provided campers with a hot lunch at a reasonable cost. 3.5 This summer, day camp participants were offered several trips that were tied into the theme of the week for the program. A conscious effort was made to focus the trips on local attractions and to minimize travel time. Trips included North End Bowl, Cullen Gardens, Bowmanville Zoo and Cedar Park. 1010 REPORT NO. CSD-15-04 PAGE 5 We also continued our excellent partnership with Ontario Power Generation who hosted campers each week at their information centre. This program was enhanced by expanding the partnership to include Friends of the Second Marsh and Nature Trails Unlimited. Campers experienced a full and exciting day of conservation and environmental awareness through wilderness walks and presentations in the theatre. 3.6 Sports Camp was relocated to the new South Courtice Arena. Participants learned the fundamentals of various sports while developing sportsmanship, leadership and teamwork skills. Each Wednesday, campers were treated to a golf lesson and a mini putt tournament at Quarry Lakes Golf Centre. Other sports included baseball, soccer, basketball, ultimate Frisbee, Lacrosse and swimming. This program proved to be so successful that it outgrew the indoor facilities at South Courtice Arena. Staff will investigate other alternatives for the program prior to next summer. The extended care program was also available for parents at this location. 3.7 Trip Camp was set up on a three week rotation this year, in order to provide a variety of trip options to return campers. Trips for Package A included Science . Centre, Cedar Park, Pickering Museum, Cullen Gardens, Chuck E Cheese and Skating. Package B trips included Lakeridge Extreme Sports, Cobourg Beach, Putting Edge and Cineplex Odeon Theatres, Metro Toronto Zoo, Upstairs at Loblaws and Bowling. Package C included Hockey Hall of Fame and CN Tower, Kids Zone and Swimming, Rock Climbing and Wheelies, Laser Quest, Jungle Cat World and Ontario Power Generation Visitor's Centre. Parents had the option of dropping their children off at either the Rickard Complex or the Courtice "' Complex and could utilize the extended care program offered at both locations. 3.8 The Drama Club partnered with the Municipality once again this summer to provide two weeks of Drama Camp at the Rickard Recreation Complex. Parents could utilize the extended care at Rickard Recreation Complex Day Camp location either in the morning or afternoon. Campers received training in acting, voice projection, character development, singing and dancing. The highlight was the production staged at the end of each week in which the campers had the opportunity to showcase their newfound talents before a full house of family and friends. 3.9 Skateboard Camp continued to be a popular program for young boarders. Participants were taught the basic skills of skateboarding and also learned how to maintain their boards and do minor repairs. In an effort to enhance the image of skateboarding, emphasis was also placed on "respect". Participants were encouraged to skate respectfully, to treat public property and each other respectfully and they could anticipate respect in return. The camp was offered from 9:00am -12:00 noon Monday to Friday at locations throughout the municipality. r. 1011 REPORT NO. CSD-15-04 PAGE 6 3.10 Leadership Development Camp was expanded from one week to two weeks this summer at the Rickard Complex. This camp operated at an advanced level of instruction for the camp participants. Registrants were introduced to a wide range of topics such as leadership styles, team building, responsibility, commitment, conflict resolution, problem solving and were encouraged to develop their communication skills and self-esteem. Participants were also able to test their new skills by assisting in the day camp setting. Upon successful completion of the Leadership Development Camp, participants received a Certificate of Completion and Certification in First Aid and CPR. 4.0 MOBILE PROGRAMS 4.1 The analysis of last year's Mobile Playground Program lead us to the conclusion that there was a need for expertise programming in the infant to toddler age categories. To meet that need we invited the YMCA Early Years.staff to partner with us in delivering a comprehensive Mobile Playground program to ten communities a week over the summer. YMCA Early Years and Community Services each committed one van and two staff. Each 'Funmobile' team consisted of a "Y" staffer specialized in programming the infant to toddlers age group and one Community Services Day Camp staff experienced in programming the older children. 4.2 This team approach allowed pp us to double our program opportunities and outreach to communities that could not sustain a full week program and to test the level of interest in newer communities, all at no extra cost to the municipality. This drop-in style program offered a less structured option to our day camps for participants and caregivers. The two Fun Mobiles each visited a different location everyday and delivered a program of games, activities and crafts appropriate to the participants. No pre-registration was required and often parents/caregivers would come to the park and socialize as their children participated. The Mobile Playground rotated through ten different parks daily, . throughout the summer which included: Tyrone Park, Orono Park, Guildwood Park (Bowmanville), Walbridge Park (Newcastle), Penfound Park (Courtice), Kendal Park, Ina Brown Park (Newtonville), Elliot Park (Hampton), Avondale Park (Courtice), and Haydon Hall. The program numbers were outstanding and were extremely well received at all locations with over 3,700 young people visiting the playground throughout the summer. (See Attachment#2) 4.3 Participation in the Mobile Skateboard Drop in Program declined this summer to the point that many locations averaged less than 5 skaters per day. Courtice Community Centre, which was traditionally a strong location also experienced disappointing numbers. Many regular users are now taking advantage of the new permanent skateboard facility at Donevan CC in Oshawa. Staff will review the viability of this program and possible program alternatives. (See attachment#3) 1012 REPORT NO. CSD-15-04 PAGE 7 r. 5.0 SPECIAL EVENTS 5.1 Again this year the camp staff was actively involved in the Racing Against Drugs Program. Staff developed and ran a "Pit Stop" for three days, for 1,500 Grade Five students, to promote awareness and safety issues relating to drug, alcohol and tobacco use. Staff was also involved with community events, such as Hampton Fun Day, Kendal Day, Tyrone Spirit Day and Clarington Family Safety Day, providing games and activities in support of the local community. 5.2 For the third consecutive year, camp staff organized the Clarington Family Fun Day. This event is an opportunity for residents to celebrate their community and ift reacquaint themselves with friends and neighbours through a day of family fun. Fun Day took place on July 24, 2004 from 11:00a.m. - 3:00p.m at the Courtice Community Complex and attracted over 500 participants. This year's event w consisted of 32 attractions including a jumping castle, dunk tank, hay rides and barbecue. A free swim was offered with a donation to the Clarington Food Bank. Several boxes of food were collected. Durham Regional Police were unable to field a Tug of War team this year so the Clarington Cup, emblematic of tug of war supremacy, remains with the Emergency Services team for another year. Many community groups and agencies contributed to the success of this day and staff acknowledges the following partners: Ontario Power Generation Clarington Animal Services Clarington Emergency Services Durham Regional Police Durham Lives Mosport Le Mans Series Race Car Chubby Soft Drink Company YMCA Ontario Early Years Upstairs at Loblaws, Bowmanville Friends of the Second Marsh 5.3 The annual end of summer "Day Camp Reunion" was hosted for all campers and their families at Rickard Recreation Complex on the evening of August 26. Rain b" forced staff to amend the program "on the fly" as the entire event was moved indoors, however many campers and their families were treated to a wonderful evening of games, skits, songs and barbecue. Many thanks go to our community partners who contributed to the success of this event including, M&M Meats, Clarington Emergency Services Department, The Firehouse Youth Centre, YMCA Ontario Early Years, and Friends of the Second Marsh. 1013 REPORT NO. CSD-15-04 PAGE 8 6.0 CONCLUSION 6.1 The Community Services Department is committed to providing the residents of the Municipality of Clarington a safe and innovative program during the summer. The new program initiatives and partnerships were well received with overall attendance up over last year. Staff will continue to review and evaluate the 2004 Summer Day Camp program and will strive to develop the appropriate program to meet the varied needs of our community in 2005.

Director of Finance MM/LAB/Id - 1203 REPORT NO.: COD-056-04 PAGE 2 BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS This quotation was for seven (7) Motorola portable radios with accessories, twenty (20) spare batteries and one (1) multi-unit charger and was issued to known distributors in the area. As the total contract was estimated to be under$30,000, a quotation rather than a tender was issued with nine (9)firms being invited to bid. Subsequently, bids were , received and tabulated as follows: Motorola Canada Limited $32,402.92 Markham, ON Williams Communications $4,610.50 Oshawa, ON (partial bid)* T.A.S. Communications $5,315.76 Peterborough, ON (partial bid * *batteries only As a result of budget constraints, the list of equipment, originally priced at $32,402.92 (plus GST), was reduced to bring costs within budget. To do this, the spare chargers included with the radio accessories were deleted as was the Multi-Unit Charger, thereby reducing the total bid to $30,736.20 plus GST. The required funds will be drawn from the 2004 Capital Emergency and Fire Services Communications Account#110-28-281-82819-7401. The reason for the lack of competition on the quotation for the portable radio pricing dates back to the original sale of the communications system. Motorola, being the manufacturer, retained exclusivity for the supply of new equipment to ensure compatibility of new equipment and maintain the integrity of the system. This*aspect of the system-was not clear at the time the Request for Quotation was issued. This limits Motorola dealers' ability to bid except for the supply of batteries and accessories. 1204 REPORT NO.: COD-056-04 PAGE 3 The low bidder has previous) provided similar products and related services to the YP P Municipality of Clarington and they have performed satisfactorily. The Director of Finance has reviewed the funding requirements and concurs with the recommendation.

Section 357(3 &4) indicates that the Council shall hear and dispose of every application not later than the 30th day of April in the year following the year in respect of which the application is made. The last day for making application for the previous year's tax reduction is the 28th day of February in the following year. More specifically, under Section 354, the Treasurer shall recommend to Council that outstanding taxes be stricken from the roll. To strike taxes from the roll it must be by reason of a decision under Section 357 or 358, or of a decision of a judge of any court or that the taxes are uncollectible. An application for a cancellation, reduction or refund may be made for one of the following reasons: • Ceased to be liable to be taxed at rate it was; • real property becomes exempt; • razed by fire, demolition or otherwise; • damaged by fire, demolition or otherwise (substantially unusable) • removal of a mobile unit; • sickness or extreme poverty; • gross or manifest clerical error; and • repairs/renovations preventing normal use of period of 3 months. The 357 and the 358 process begins when an application is prepared by either the Regional Assessment Office or the Tax Department. The neighbourhood assessor will perform an on-site inspection of the property. The assessor will verify the reason for the application, the period of time, for which the tax relief is claimed, and the amount and type of assessment that is affected. The application is then sent back to the Tax Department where the actual tax adjustment is calculated and the taxpayer's account adjusted. Section 356, deals with severances or divisions into parcels. These parcels of land were taxed in blocks in the year(s) prior to severance/consolidation.

THAT Council approve in principle the Conceptual Master Plan for Port Darlington Waterfront Park near the mouth of Bowmanville Creek. 2. THAT staff proceed to obtain input from the public on the Conceptual Master Plan 3.

A Financial Analysis was prepared to evaluate the financial viability and funding sources for the Land Acquisition Strategy (Report PSD-043-02). The Financial Analysis report concluded that acquisition needed to be scheduled over a 20 year period. Since, that time a number of properties have been obtained and we now have sufficient lands to begin some development of the Bowmanville waterfront for parkland. Council has since June of 2004 approved the acquisition and/or expropriation of the lands necessary to develop Phase 1 of the Port Darlington Waterfront Park on the East Beach. To provide Council with a vision of what the final build out of the park development would look like, Engineering Services has had a conceptual master plan prepared for all of the lands identified in the Acquisition Strategy regardless of the land acquisition timing priority. From this conceptual plan the Phase 1 development plans can be developed for implementation in 2005 or 2006 subject to funding. 2.0 OVERVIEW OF THE WATERFRONT STRATEGY The Clarington Waterfront Strategy (1993) was prepared to provide a long-term vision for Clarington's waterfront. The Strategy identified, among other things, the lack of active and passive/recreation opportunities along the waterfront. Much of the Lake Ontario shoreline was impeded by large land owners, such as St. Marys Cement, Cameco, Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, Wilmot Creek Retirement Community and large agricultural operations. To provide more public open space the Strategy identified three district parks, one in each of the three Urban Areas, focal nodes and areas of interest along the waterfront. District parks in Newcastle Village and Bowmanville were centered around the existing harbours. The district park for Courtice was identified at the bottom of Courtice Road. Two passive recreation areas were identified, one around the Wilmot Creek in Newcastle and the other around Bowmanville Marsh in Bowmanville. The Waterfront Trail, focal nodes, and areas of interest associated with the trail will be contained within a greenway of linear parks along the waterfront. (See Attachment 1) The recommendations within the strategy provided the basis for waterfront policies in the Clarington Official Plan, adopted in 1996. In the Clarington Official Plan the district parks are identified with District Park symbols, and the greenway as "Waterfront Greenway" or in some instances "Environmental Protection". REPORT NO.: EGD-50-04 PAGE 3 3.0 PROGRESS OF THE BOWMANVILLE WATERFRONT LAND ACQUISITION AND PARK PLANS 3.1 Overview In 1999, approximately 45 hectares (111 acres) of land in and adjacent to the Bowmanville and Westside Marshes were secured by the Municipality of Clarington as a result of negotiations with Blue Circle Cement (now St. Marys Cement) to save a portion of the Westside Marsh. These lands were subsequently transferred to Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. A management plan is being prepared jointly by the Municipality and CLOCA to ensure the ecological functions of the marshes are not lost as a result of future quarrying by St. Marys Cement. The plan will also provide opportunities for passive recreational uses. The residents and Council were recently invited on a tour in the summer of 2004 to view the works which are nearing completion. The Municipality leases a portion of the Bowmanville Harbour Conservation Area from CLOCA. A Conceptual Plan was prepared in 2000 which recommends improvements to the boat launch, parking lot, Waterfront Trail and fish cleaning station. New play areas and a lookout are also proposed. The improvements total $1.14 million dollars. One third funding has been approved in the SuperBuild program. The implementation of these improvements are contingent on receiving the balance of funds in the 2005 capital budget. A District Park is designated at the mouth of the Bowmanville Creek for both the east beach and west beach. The Port Darlington Harbour Company (PDHC) currently owns the lands on both the east and west of Bowmanville Creek. The Municipality has been in negotiations with PDHC for sometime. The PDHC lands on the East Beach are included in the long-term acquisition strategy however at this time acquisition is not crucial to the first phase of park development. In addition, accommodating marine industry in Bowmanville Harbour is desirable from both economic and public interest aspects (e.g. an active waterfront is desirable). The Municipality has been acquiring lands on the south and north side of East Beach Road to provide for sufficient depth to the park and ancillary facilities such as parking and washrooms, etc. As such, the Municipality has prepared a design concept that can be phased in overtime and in relation to which lands will ultimately be publicly accessible. In addition, funds should be allocated in the capital budget to begin implementation such as grading, parking, seating and some plantings. 3.2 Waterfront Trail The Waterfront Trail is generally located within the Waterfront Greenway and links the District Parks, focal nodes and other areas of interest together. The total length of the trail is 31 kilometers (19 miles). Opportunities to move the trail off road and closer to the water are sought through development of lands, or by other means such as leases and licenses agreements. For the "Waterfront Greenway", in the Clarington Official Plan the intention was to have the Waterfront Trail integrated within the open space on the lake side of the roadway. REPORT NO.: EGD-50-04 PAGE 4 3.3 Bowmanville/Westside Marshes Management Plan CLOCA and the Municipality have been working on a Management Plan for the Bowmanville and Westside Marshes since 2001; as part of this plan a report regarding the dynamic beach and how it should be managed in the West Beach Area has been prepared. The draft report recommended that "Due to the extreme severity of the hazards (i.e. potential loss of life)" CLOCA and the Municipality continue with the long term acquisition strategy of this area. In addition, the recreational activities recommended for this West Beach and Bowmanville Marsh are passive in nature and promote the restoration of the dune area along West Beach to maintain the barrier between the lake and marsh. 3.4 Conceptual Master Plan for Port Darlington Waterfront Park A Conceptual Master Plan has been prepared to provide a vision for the future development of the waterfront in Port Darlington. The physical barrier of the Bowmanville Creek divides the park into two distinct sides. Each side presents different opportunities for park development. The West Beach side contains the marsh and a sand beach with level access to the waters edge. The East Beach side has a shoreline that is elevated from the waters edge and existing uses such as the marina, condominiums, and Bobby C's restaurant. The Conceptual Master Plan takes advantage of the physical features of each site to create a district park that will provide a variety of recreational opportunities for residents of Clarington and beyond. 3.4.1 East Beach Side (Attachment 2) The east side of the creek would contain the active use areas of the park. It is proposed that a large central gathering node be constructed near the waters edge at the south extension of Port Darlington Road. This space would be used for special events such as concerts in the park, fireworks displays, art exhibits, etc. A nautically themed children's playground, water play area, washroom building, and concession stand are also proposed for this portion of the park. Open green spaces would be provided for picnicking or informal play. The Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail would pass through this section of the park. Initially when the Secondary Plan for Port Darlington was being developed (1992) it was assumed that there would be adequate room south of the existing East Beach Road for the district park development; however, detailed development of the park plan and an examination of the existing and potential road alignments have yielded a much more usable park space, that will accommodate the anticipated activities in the park by shifting the road to the north. REPORT NO.: EGD-50-04 PAGE 5 Because the surrounding land is higher than the lake, direct access to the waters edge is limited on the east side of the creek. Walkways and waterfront lookouts would be constructed parallel to the lake along the top of the bank. Steps down to a waters edge platform would be constructed. A small beach at the west end would provide direct access to the waters edge. The architectural features throughout Port Darlington Waterfront Park, including buildings, shelters, lights and site furniture would be designed to match the architectural style of Victorian era Port Darlington. It was during this period that Port Darlington was an active summer resort. The activity and vitality of the east portion of the park would complement the existing residential, commercial, and marina uses just north of the park. Clarington's Official Plan includes a Village Commercial block along the south side of the Regional Water Treatment plant. This block could be developed with shops, artisan's studios and restaurants. The village commercial buildings would also screen the view of the Regional Plant from the park and provide the opportunity to create rooftop patios overlooking the lake. 3.4.2 West Beach Side (Attachment 3) The proposed parkland on the west side of the Bowmanville Creek will be much more passive in character and will complement the beaches and marshes that dominate the landscape on the west side. The sand beach will be the main attraction of the west beach portion of the park. The north edge of the west beach portion of the park will include nature trails along and through the marsh as well as interpretive signage and opportunities to launch non-motorized boats and canoes in the open water of the marsh. A waterfront promenade and waterfront lookouts are proposed along the north edge of the beach. Beach volleyball courts could be constructed between the beach and marsh. The volleyball courts could be used for informal play or programmed tournaments. Since the washrooms and playground on the east beach side are not easily accessible to the west beach it is proposed that a washroom building and children's playground also be constructed on the west beach side of the park. This area would also provide a neighbourhood park function for residents. The Bowmanville Creek is a barrier to pedestrians moving between the east and west portions of the park. The number and size of boats entering and leaving the lake at the mouth of the creek would make building a bridge at this location very difficult and expensive. This master plan proposes a boardwalk that connects the west portion of the park to the marsh trails on CLOCA's land. Pedestrians would follow the marsh trail north and cross the creek at a proposed bridge to the Bowmanville Waterfront Recreation Area that is scheduled to be built in 2005. A bridge at this location is not currently part of the 2005 project. Including a bridge in the project would create a more direct pedestrian connection between the east and west portion of Port Darlington Waterfront Park and between the Bowmanville Waterfront Recreation Area and Port Darlington Waterfront Park. Using a barge to transport people from the west beach to the east beach as was done in the early 1900's is also an option. REPORT NO.: EGD-50-04 PAGE 6 4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 The framework to create publicly accessible waterfront has been established in the Clarington Waterfront Strategy, Clarington Official Plan and the Land Acquisition Strategy. The financial analysis provided a timeframe for the acquisition of waterfront lands and the financial means to acquire such lands. The acquisition of waterfront land was identified by Council as a priority, the timeframes established in the various strategies and studies have guided staff in their recommendations to Council and land acquisitions. We are now at the point where some development of the Port Darlington Waterfront Park is possible. 4.2 At this time it would be prudent for Council to approve in principal the Conceptual Master Plan for Port Darlington Waterfront Park so that the first phase of development can be carried out within a future context for further acquisitions and phases of development. While it is desirable to have public input prior to Council endorsement of a park master plan, staff is seeking Council endorsement at this time as the Masterplan has an impact on private property and prior to meeting with the Port Darlington Community Association. 4.3 The first phase of development for the district park is conceptual only and will have to be detailed prior to construction. A cost estimate for the development of the detailed design and construction will submitted for consideration in the 2005 Capital Budget. If approved, the project could be started in 2005 or 2006.
