Foster, Councillors Neal and Novak and the Director of Operations regarding the
banner issue. He provided a chronology of events leading up to the September 9th
meeting, indicating that the banner was a gift from former Mayor, Jim Abernethy, and
in previous conversations with the Director of Operations, it was his understanding
that the banner would be erected as soon as the proper hardware was received. In
further discussions with the Director of Operations, Mr. Horvath advised that
Mr. Sullivan's idea to have Clarington residents who served in Afghanistan recognized
for their service and support displayed would be adopted by Council and that he would
contact the Department of National Defence to obtain the names of those serving from
Clarington. Subsequent to this discussion, Mr. Sullivan was advised that the banner
idea may not be the way the Municipality would recognize the troops. Mr. Sullivan
noted that nothing was ever done and the banner presented to his family was never
erected. He expressed concern that it has been one year since the request was made
to the Municipality resulting in the meeting of September 9th. Mr. Sullivan clarified that
at the meeting, he and his wife expressed their disappointment with the lack of
progress and pointed out that there is clear policy with respect to the "Support Our
Troops" Banner Program and that they made their position clear that they wanted the
banner erected as promised. Further discussion took place at the meeting on how the
Municipality would recognize those who served.
Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - September 19, 2011
Mr. Sullivan stated that regardless of how the Municipality would pay tribute to those
persons, he did not think that decision would nullify their position and at no time did he
or his wife rescind their position to have the banner erected. Mr. Sullivan requested
Council to vote to have the banner erected as promised.

indicating that the article provides a perspective that can help better
appreciate the perils of incineration, references opinions of Dr. Vyvyan
Howard, a nanoparticle expert and Professor of Bioimaging at the
University of Ulster who writes that today's incinerator filters typically let
through five to 30% of smaller particles under 2.5 microns causing the
worst health damage and allow the majority of the smallest nano -sized
particulates to pass through into the air; that nanoparticulates are even
more toxic than fine particles partly because they have far more surface
area that can react with body tissues than bigger particles of the same
weight; and, suggesting that Dr. Kyle give credence to the findings of
Professor Howard and report accordingly to Regional Council.

approach to raising additional funding for new hospitals, hospital
renovations, and hospital expansions;
Council Meeting Minutes -17- September 19, 2011

hospital renovations or hospital expansions.
2. THAT the imposition of "development charges" be either by way of
amendment to the existing Development Charges Act or be by way of
a separate "Hospital Development Charges Act' with the funds to be
collected by the municipality or municipalities that are served by the
benefitting hospitals and to be placed into Special Provincial
Development Charges Reserves for the benefitting hospitals.
3. THAT with the adoption of "development charges" legislation that

Minister of Health for Ontario, the Association of Municipalities of
Ontario, the Region of Halton and each of the area municipalities
within the Region of Halton for their endorsement and support, and to

c) Dock Operations
All stockpiles are 10 metres in height however the coal can be higher.
Salt piles are higher on the east side of the dock.
• Continue with the practice of :
• Applying dust suppressant on open face of fuel piles
• Petcoke piles are covered with tarps
• Maximum height of petcoke stockpiles is 10 m
• Unloading vessels should be stopped with wind velocities over 40km /hr and
from direction of concern
d) Quarry Operations
The quarry has been in full production since April. There have been a few complaints in recent
months. To determine the exact concerns with blasts, the quarry manager has called those
individuals who have previously complained just prior to a blast to determine the exact effect of
the blast. For example, was it just as loud? more or less vibration? etc.
The complains are usually when blasting occurs on the east face parallel to old Waverly Road is
on Level 1 and 2 but in the deeper quarry there should be less concern with respect to blasting
and equipment noise. As the quarry moves east they will modify blasting techniques to minimize
impacts to area residents.
In the State of Michigan maximum blasting level is 50 mm /s, in Ontario it is 12.5 mm /s.
• . Quarry is in full production with blast once to two times per week.
• Operations Mining Levels 1, 2 currently, but will switch to Levels 3 & 4 in late June.
• No blasting exceedances for ground vibration and air vibration in 2011.
• Ongoing dialogue with community over Blast - Related Issues.

Air vibration remains under the limit. Air vibration depends on various factors including cloud
cover. The closer the cloud ceiling the greater the impact. Depending on cloud cover minor
changes are made the day of the blast.

3. Sub - Committee Reports
The site maintenance sub - committee met over several evenings to cut back burdock and
remove accumulated grass clippings and dirt on the trail at the rear of the Sewage
Treatment Plant. The burdock removal was very labour intensive and several committee
members inquired about possible assistance from high school students. in the future.
It was noted that high school students are generally available for organised activities only
during the school year which may not correspond with the burdock removal schedule.
Transportation to the site is also a constraint for student work at the SWNA but for future
site clean -up events it will be stated in the advertisement that "Community Services hours
are available" for high school students who participate.
Clayton Morgan reported that he had removed several of the low branches from the
locust trees overhanging the trail from the Toronto Street parking lot.
Michael Goleski circulated a Burdock fact sheet for review by committee members.
Jim Cleland recommended that removal of young Manitoba Maple should be a project for
2012.
4. Updates
Kiosk Sign .
The sign was installed by Page Graphics on August 12. The sign graphics and content
look very good however it was noted that the sign needs to be flipped around so that the
orientation map of the SWNA faces S/E to assist people entering the SWNA from the
waterfront trail. Page Graphics have already been instructed to flip the sign around when
they are next in this area.
Fall Planting Project
Pending input from GRCA recommendations will be made for a fall planting. project that
could include barrier plantings and /or fish habitat enhancements.
Peter Windolf and Michael Goleski will meet on -site to assess potential locations for fall
planting. GRCA will also be asked to attend. Funding for a fall planting project is
available from the Municipalities' Stewardship program.
The date for the planting project will be Saturday October 22 at 9:OOAM. More details
will be available at the October meeting.
Bird box cleaning
Jim Cleland has requested assistance with the annual maintenance of bird boxes. Jim has
removed 4 of the 38 bird boxes so far. The specific boxes he requires assistance with are
south from the Cobbledick parking lot on the west-side of the SWNA. Jim will continue
to clean the bird boxes on the east side of the SWNA and around the Newcastle Memorial
Forest. Pat, Melanie and Brian volunteered to assist and will meet on site Wednesday
September 25 at 6:OOPM at the Cobbledick Parking Lot. Melanie will bring a wheel
barrow.
Great Canadian Shoreline Clean-
On Saturday September 24 several committee members will meet to clean -up garbage
along the Wilmot Creek and Lake Ontario shoreline. Melanie indicated she was unable to
attend on the 24th but will clean-up on the Toronto Street side on her own schedule.
The clean -up will correspond with the schedule for the Great Canadian Shoreline Clean-
up but the committee will not actually register as an official participant in the event. It
was agreed that it is a worthwhile project but official registration requires excessive
paperwork and an inventory of garbage collected.
An event poster will be created and distributed via the SWNA blog and Facebook, page.
Councillor Traill will send the event poster to various schools and environmental groups
who might be interested in participating.
Those able to attend will meet at the Cobbledick Parking lot at 9:OOAM to be assigned
zones to clean -up. Brian will bring garbage bags and gloves.
5. Other Business
Brian indicated that the new garbage containers have been well used all summer but the
garbage cans in the Toronto Street Parking lot were over spilling. Fishing season seems
to generate the most garbage at the SWNA and the committee requested that the
Operations Department increase the frequency of garbage pick -up during the fishing
season and /or add more cans at the parking lots.
Pat is working with the Wilmot wood workers club to have garbage can lids constructed
to help keep rain water out of the new garbage cans.. The lids are to be 22 %2" in diameter.
David Best announced that he is resigning from the committee. While he has enjoyed his
time on the committee he stated that he is unable to dedicated sufficient time to
committee meetings and events.
Chair Brain Reid thanked him for his years of service and wished him well on behalf of
the committee.
