Harriet Philips, Ph.D, SENES Consultants Limited, addressed Council to present the findings of the Peer Review of the Site Specific Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment for the proposed Energy-From-Waste Facility for the Clarington 01 Site. Dr. Philips stated SENES Consultants Limited, was commissioned by the Municipality of Clarington to provide a peer review of the Site Specific Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment performed by the Region of Durham's consultants Jacques Whitford. Dr. Philips provided background information on the purpose of the peer review which is to render an opinion as to whether the risk assessment has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted principles and to comment on whether the conclusions reached are appropriate and defensible. Dr. Philips reviewed the methodology for conducting the peer review indicating the review was conducted in accordance with Health Canada Guidance and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment "Reviewer's Checklist for Risk Assessment". Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Dr. Philips provided an overview of the elements and key requirements of a peer review which must demonstrate that sufficient information has been assembled for the facility to provide a confident assessment of the impacts and to describe each exposure pathway; that the right receptors have been selected and assigned appropriate characteristics and that the receptors are exposed to appropriate concentrations of chemicals of concern; that the potential health effects posed by each chemical of concern is understood and appropriate toxicity reference Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - June 15,2009 values are used to assess the likelihood of adverse health effects; and, that the likelihood of adverse health effects posed by each chemical of concern has been estimated and the estimates are interpreted in meaningful ways. Dr. Philips stated the scope of the Site Specific Risk Assessment Review was based on the 140,000 tonne scenario and on the assumption that the concentrations from the Air Quality Assessment are valid. She stated the peer review of the air quality assessment indicates that the modelling appears to have been done appropriately following regulatory guidelines and the emission rates and factors appear to be appropriate. Dr. Philips advised that they have requested the consultants to further review the apparent meteorological mismatch that may cause an inaccurate representation of long-term exposure. She stated that a peer review meeting with all reviewers was held on June 5, 2009 noting some of the comments received by reviewers for the Region and the Medical Officer of Health have been incorporated but that other comments still need to be addressed. In conclusion, Dr. Philips stated the Jacques Whitford Risk Assessment is comprehensive, conforms to risk assessment guidance, that the conservative approach taken would result in an overestimate of exposure and risk and while SENES has provided comments, the comments would not change the conclusions of the risk assessment. Dr. Philips confirmed that she has no affiliation or interest specific to the Energy-from Waste project, that she is a Qualified Person - Risk Assessment under O.Reg 153/04 and she has conducted a number of risk assessments on behalf of the Ministry of the Environment. In response to a question, Dr. Philips stated that based on what is provided within the risk assessment and methodology, the risk assessment indicates that there will be no adverse effects on humans or ecology and confirmed that the facility would be safe to operate. Dr. Christopher Ollson and Jim McKay, Jacques Whitford, addressed Council regarding the findings of the Site Specific Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment for the proposed Energy-From-Waste Facility for the Clarington 01 site, updated June 12,2009. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Dr. Ollson provided a comparison between a site specific versus generic risk assessment. Dr. Ollson confirmed that in undertaking the generic risk assessment, the location and specific technology was not known. Dr. Ollsen provided an overview of the risk assessment framework including an understanding of the chemical baseline, how the chemicals come into contact with people and the environment, to what amount these chemicals are linked to environmental effects on human or ecological health, to what degree people and ecological receptors are exposed to these chemicals and when predicted exposure levels are compared to exposure limits is an increased risk predicted and if so, how to reduce identified risks. Dr. Ollsen outlined the risk assessment methodology, including the collection of baseline data from various locations within the Local Assessment Area, the selection of receptor locations based on public input, landuse, location, etc., and the compilation of a comprehensive list of chemicals of potential concern that may be emitted from the facility. Dr. Ollsen reviewed baseline, construction, operational and decommissioning scenarios. Council Meeting Minutes - 6 - June 15, 2009 He stated risks to human receptors were evaluated by inhalation assessment at 309 receptor locations and multi-pathway assessment at 132 receptor locations. The results indicate that no acute or chronic risk estimates at the maximum ground level concentration exceeded the regulatory benchmark for all Project Scenarios. The results of the multi-pathway assessment indicate that exposure to facility-related air emissions will result in no adverse health effects to human receptors living or visiting the area. He noted the only exeedences of regulatory benchmarks were from existing conditions in the Baseline Case. Dr. Ollsen reviewed the methodology for the ecological risk assessment including government regulations and guidance framework, highlighted the selection of Valued Ecological Components and reviewed exposure pathways for wildlife and freshwater receptors. He noted the only exceedences of regulatory benchmarks were from existing conditions in the Baseline Case in the freshwater aquatic system for a limited number of chemicals; there was no undue risk predicted for ecological receptors for any of the Project-related scenarios modelled; or any undue risk predicted for any species at risk that would be found within the area. Dr. Ollsen concluded by stating the site-specific risk assessment determined that the proposed Covanta facility operating at 140,000 tonnes of MSW/year could be safely operated at the Clarington 01 site without undue risk to either people or the environment. He further advised that for the most part operating at 400,000 tonnes, the same conclusion could be drawn that under normal operating conditions there would not be any undue risk to people or the environment. Dr. Ollson confirmed that the modern-day facility would be safe to operate and that the Ministry of the Environment will not issue a Certificate of Approval if was deemed not to be safe. Resolution #C-355-09 Moved by Councillor Robinson, seconded by Councillor Foster THAT Council recess for ten minutes.

Dr. Stone introduced Doug Allingham, Chair, Board of Trustees, and Kevin Empey, President and CEO, Lakeridge Health Corporation.

He stated local physicians and patients understand that healthcare is under significant pressure, is underfunded and that it is within this environment they are struggling to find a solution. However, Lakeridge Health Bowmanville must continue as an acute care site with 24-hour emergency seNice and on-site internal, surgical and special care units to serve their patients. Dr. Stone stated there will be no reduction in service and that the hospital will continue to provide the same services and that telemedicine will also be developed as an additional tool to seNe their patients. A working group of physicians and hospital administrators will work together to ensure support for the Lakeridge Bowmanville site. Dr. Stone stated that only joint communications will be announced to the public through statements issued by either himself or Mr. Empey as discussions continue. Dr. Stone thanked Mr. Allingham for bringing both sides together to find common ground and common solutions. He requested the community, service clubs, business and industry to pledge financial support as the facility moves towards much-needed renovations. He also thanked local government leaders, the excellent physician group who have stood united in trying to represent the interests of the community, hospital staff and Council for their support. Dr. Stone advised the community must continue to play an important role as the process unfolds. In response to questions, Mr. Empey advised that the hospital is keen for the expansion of the Emergency Department and will continue to work with the Ministry of Health and the Hospital Foundation to kick-off the project. In response to a further question regarding the fundraising target, Mr. Empey stated the Foundation is a separate entity and he did not have that information available.

Crome, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning Services Reviewed by: d~ ~ Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer IUFUdf 17 June 2009 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 REPORT NO.: PSD-065-09 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND On March 2, 2009 Council confirmed their resolution of July 14, 2008 which authorized an agreement to facilitate the acquisition of 71 Old Kingston Road and related matters. The resolution was part of a report recommending approval of an official plan amendment and zoning by-law amendment for a proposed high density residential development. The report detailed how the valley lands and environmentally sensitive portions of the property would be dedicated to the Municipality for stewardship and passive recreational purposes and 0.5 ha was dedicated for parkland as well. An agreement was negotiated with the landowner dealing with the acquisition of 7.1 Old Kingston Road, the valleylands and the parkette, and the closing date was May 20, 2009. The property acquisition closed as scheduled and the site is now in Municipal ownership. This property has cultural heritage value as it was once the location of the Tooley Mill. The mill was built by Jacob Stalter in the 1870s. Augustus Smith Tooley acquired the mill and some nearby land from Mr. Stalter and the area became known as Tooley's Mill Hill. The mill no longer remains on the property. 2.0 COMMENTS On June 16 the Clarington Heritage Committee and the Administrator of the Clarington Museum and Archives toured the interior of the house and the property. The house has been significantly altered on the interior and very little of the original architectural features remain. The Committee discussed the historical significance of the property during their regular meeting which followed the tour. No concerns were raised in regards to the demolition of the building, however, as the house's stone foundation is the original, the CHC would like to see the stones reused in a landscape feature as part of any future parkland development. The former location of the Tooley Mill should also be acknowledged as part of public education on local history through on-site interpretation. The following motion was passed: "THA T the Municipality of Clarington consider archaeological research to find the footprint of the Tooley Mill at the time that the property is developed, to erect a marker depicting the Mill, and consider reusing the aschlar cut stone from the foundation in a landscape feature." In discussion with other departments and the Administrator of the Clarington Museums and Archives, no other Municipal use for the building has been identified. Municipal Law Enforcement has received a number of complaints since the property has been vacated as it appears to have become a target for vandalism REPORT NO.: PSD-065-09 PAGE 3 and spring time parties. The building has been secured and has been re- secured a number of times over the past few weeks. 3.0 CONCLUSION There is no anticipated municipal use for the building and it does not have significant heritage features or value present any longer. Therefore, the building should be demolished. The cost of the demolition is approximately $40,000. The stones from the foundation should remain on site for future use by the Municipality.
