Mr. Solomon's referral request was based on his concern that the former land fill site on the west side of the Bowmanville Creek would be disturbed by any rerouting and increased velocity in the creek, if the above plans of subdivision drains into the Bowmanville Creek at the location proposed in the draft Northwest Bowmanville Master Drainage Plan. 1.3 Three (3) of the Plans of Subdivision which Mr. Solomon wished included in his referral request had already received draft apPLoval (1ST 87087, lOT 02037 and 18T 87021) at the time of his ....3 (' 'j l), REPORT NO. PD-102-92 PAGE 3 request. The Planning Act provides that a request for referral could only be made before draft approval and accordingly the three (3) were not included. 1.4 One of the recommendations to the ontario Municipal Board made by Regional Staff wi thin their referral report suggested that Mr. Solomon's concerns could be best addressed through the inclusion of appropriate condition(s) of approval for all the affected plans of subdivision which would address the issue of storm water and the impact on the waste disposal site located on the west side of the Bowmanville Creek. 1.5 Mr. Solomon withdrew his appeal, conditionally, upon draft conditions of approval being incorporated within the various plans of subdivision as noted by Regional Staff. 1.6 In addition to incorporating the necessary clauses wi thin the relevant plans of subdivision referred to the ontario Municipal Board, Regional Staff incorporated similar conditions of approval witliin the three (3) plans of subdivision not included in the referral request. Plan of Subdivision 18T-82037 was one of the three subdivisions and the condition was amended by the Region on July 10, 1990 (Attachment #1) by adding conditions 16a and 16b as follows: 16a That a Master Drainage Plan for Northwest Bowmanville shall be submitted to the Town of Newcastle, the Central Lake ontario Conservation Authority, and the Ministry of Natural Resources for review and approval. The Master Drainage Plan shall recommend Stormwater Management methods which will not impact on the waste disposal site on the west side of Bowmanville Creek in the area of Jackman Road. 16b That the Ministry of the Environment shall confirm that the Master Drainage Plan for Northwest Bowmanville as approved by the Town of Newcastle, the Central Lake ontario Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources does not impact on the waste disposal site on the west side of the Bowmanville Creek in the area of Jackman Road. The purpose of the amendments was to ensure the waste disposal site P2 ,,) - ....4 REPORT NO. PD-102-92 PAGE 4 issue was properly addressed prior to final approval of the draft plan. It should be noted that Town's Staff do not have difficulties with the amended conditions. 1.7 By correspondence date March 18, 1992 (Attachment #2), Town Staff was formally notified that the conditions of draft approval issued initially on March 7, 1989 and amended on July 1,0, 1990 were amended further as follows: 1) Condition Number 16a was amended by deleting the reference to the Ministry of Natural Resources. 2) Condition Number 16b was deleted and replaced with the following: 16b That a qualified Engineer shall certify in writing to the satisfaction of the Town of Newcastle, that the stormwater management controls approved for implementation in northwest Bowmanville will not detrimentally impact the former waste disposal site located on the west side of Bowmanville Creek, just north of Jackman Road. 16c That, notwithstanding conditions 16a and 16b, Phase II as shown on a plan prepared by J. D. Barnes Limited, reference Number 89-25-295-10, showing 21 lots of single detached units 1-4~lots for~ 8 semi-c=detaclle~ . . h~~s ity residential development and a commercial block, may proceed on the basis of an interim stormwater drainage solution approved by the Town of Newcastle and the Central Lake ontario Conservation Authority which will temporarily re-route stormwater runoff to the Soper Creek Watershed, provided that the owner agrees in the Town of Newcastle' s Subdivision Agreement, not to implement stormwater drainage scheme until the Northwest Bowmanville Master Drainage Plan has been approved in accordance with conditions 16a and 16b. The purpose of the Region's amendments was to expedite the clearance of Phase Two of the Newcastle Meadows Plan of Subdivision through the issuance of clearance letters by the Town of Newcastle and the Conservation Authority confirming that provisions in the Town's Subdivision Agreement will ensure that stormwater drainage for Phase Two will not be re-routed west to the Bowmanville Creek until the Northwest Bowmanville Master Drainage Plan is approved to the satisfaction of the Town of Newcastle and the Conservation i- IF) "7 ) ,)J ....5 REPORT NO. PD-102-92 PAGE 5 2 . STAFF COMMENTS 2.1 Staff has no objection to the amendments to Condition Number 16a or to the inclusion of new condition 16c. Staff would confirm that the Subdivision Agreement between the Town and Newcastle Meadows Inc. presently complements the staging plan for Phase Two. Furthermore, the appropriate clearance letter to facilitate Phase Two has been forwarded to the Region. 2.2 Staff cannot however concur with the newly amended condition 16b. The earlier version of condition 16b requires the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Town as clearance agencies regarding the waste disposal site. Both the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Natural Resources have now been removed from condition 16b apparently as a result of the Ministry of the Environment stating that the proposed outfall from the North Bowmanville Development would not impact the landfill site and the Ministry of Natural Resources stating that the subject matter is not within the Ministry's mandate. 2.3 As a result, this new version of conUi~n~-b~pIaee~-h~Wfl-ac the sole agency responsible to clear this condition. This is not acceptable on the following ground: a) the new condition 16b was never requested by the Town; b) impact of proposed development on the former waste disposal site is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment. To the extent the Ministry of the Environment has indicated there is no impact, the Region should delete this condition in its entirety; d) the Town has no inhouse expertise to review any engineering report. r: Dill.

As a resul t, Staff have no al ternati ve but to recommend Council to request Regional Council to overturn the decision of the Commissioner of Planning.

BOWMANvILLE DRAINAGE AREA STORMWATER OUTFALL TO BOWMANVILLE CREEK OUR PROJECT NO. 870l As per the ~orth Bowmanville' stormwater M.anageme.nt compensation study (G.M. Sernas, May, 199~) and the Northwest Bowmanville Master Drainqqe studY (G.M. Se~nas, october, 1989), the North Bowmanville development area is proposed to drain into the Bowmanville Creek approximately 280 metres upstream of the Jackman Road Bailey Bridge (Refer to Drawing 8701 No~ 1 enclOsed). \::;, j'; During the master drainage study, it was learned that a dump site exists near the Bowmanville creek approximately 150 metres upstream of the proposed outfall location west of the creek. This site was investigated and it has been determined that the dump site is a sufficient distance away from the proposed work associated with the outfall, and will not be affected by the drainage proposal. Furthermore, the master drainage study . states that the North Bowmanville development will not cause an increase in peak flows in the' Bowmanville Creek and therefore increased flooding (that . potentially could impact the dump site) will not occur. The study states.. . IITbts can be attributed to the fact that the watershed bas a very low developtnent ratio and most of thB developnwnts m-e located at tbe lowet. rea.ebes of tbe watershed. The timing of peak flows from these doWttstl'Bm1l areas is sueb that tbey will fat' precede those that emanate from the large upstream reacbes of the Bowmanville Creek." pAB For these reasons, .the dump site will not be affected by the drainage proposal for tn~o~ wm' opments.

At that time we advised the Region that we had no objection to the approval of the plan. We did not request the imp~sition of any approval conditions. Recently we were requested by the both G.M.Sernas and Associates, and the Region, to clear approval condition 16 (a) which states the following: "That a master drainage plan for Northwest Bowmanville shall be submitted to "",the "'I'own of Newcastle, the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources for review and approval. The master drainage plan shall recommend stormwater management methods which will not impact on the waste disposal site on the west side of the Bowmanville Creek in the area of. .Jackman Road." The Ministry of Natural Resources is not prepared to provide any clearance of the above noted condition for the following reasons. 1. This approval condition was never requested by MNR. 2. The wording of the approval condition suggests concern about the possible effects of stormwater flow on an existing or former waste disposal site. The mandate of MNR.does not extend to this type of concern. As a result, we respectfully request that the Region amend the conditions of draft approval to delete reference to MNR since we have no interest in this file. . . /2 (over) .- () 2 ') '"
