Whereas sound is considered by the Environmental Protection Act to be
a contaminant which causes negative effects on human health;
Whereas the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) states that planning for
land uses in the vicinity of rail facilities should be undertaken in a
manner that ensures that rail facilities and sensitive land uses are
appropriately designed, buffered and/or separated from each other;
Whereas the PPS also directs municipalities to avoid land use patterns
and development which may cause environmental or public health and
safety concerns;
Whereas, Environmental Noise Assessment Studies, prepared in
accordance with Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks
guidelines require accurate and up -to date data to accurately assess the
impacts of railway noise on new development and identify appropriate
mitigation measures;
Now therefore, be it resolved that the Region of Durham is requesting
that CP Rail reconsider its decision to cease providing railway traffic
information to the noise consultants; and
That a copy of this motion be forwarded to CP Rail; the area
municipalities; the Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO); and the
