removed the key barriers to Ontarians getting construction jobs in Quebec by April 1,
1999, the Ontario government would act. After three months of intense but largely
unproductive discussions, the barriers were still not down. Ontario had to act. It did. He

for fairness and follow the Ontario government's lead and voluntarily stop awarding
construction contracts to companies from Quebec.

1-31 Robert G. Lake, General Manager, Peterborough Utilities Commission, advising of a
provision of service for billing and settlement with IMO. He advises that as deregulation
is implemented, our local distribution company (wires company), will be required to
perform the billing function for all energy suppliers operating from within our
municipality. Most utilities today do not have the hardware and software required to
perform the billing function for multiple vendors with multiple rate structures. Also, in
addition, our local distribution company will be required to perform a settlement function
with the Independent Market Operator. This requires calculating the load curve for all
customers in the municipality to calculate their bill, based on the rates of the energy
supplier, or for customers who have not chosen a specific supplier, applying the hourly
spot market prices to their load curve. He expects at this point, no utility has software for
a settlement system, as the rules are not fully developed. He advises that in Peterborough
they have just installed new hardware and software in their Civic Data Centre (CDC).
The CDC performs all of the computer services for the City and the PUC. One of their
largest systems is their Utility Management System, which will handle multiple vendors
and multiple rates. The software is working now in deregulated gas, and deregulated
electric utilities. They do not yet have a settlement system but will be choosing one in
the next few months. He is offering his services and would be pleased to discuss options
with the Municipality of Clarington.

traditional borders and ensures growth at home through the development and export of
Canadian products to U.S. and global markets.

change the name of Waverley Park to Bowmanville Optimist Park. He advises that this is
their 15 year anniversary and they would like a major event to cap off their anniversary

however, financial constraints do not allow them that luxury. They are proposing a rather
substantial donation in the amount of $15,000 towards building a park/playground
somewhere in Bowmanville in exchange for the consideration of changing the name of
Waverley Park to read Bowmanvile Optimist Park. This would be a one -time cash

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Fire Marshal's office refrain from

direct action of extinguishing fires or very minimal fire prevention procedures."
2. "WHEREAS in 1998 the Province of Ontario completed current Value
Assessment;
AND WHEREAS there was a change in the status of the payments in Lieu
Properties which included all properties owned by Ontario Hydro;
AND WHEREAS Ontario Hydro was billed accordingly at current value tax
rates;
AND WHEREAS Ontario Hydro did remit their payments as billed;
AND WHEREAS legislation allows each and every ratepayer the opportunity to
appeal their assessment which Ontario Hydro has now done;
NOW THEREFORE the Township of Bagot, Blythfield and Brougham wishes to

Goodyear Canada Diesel Fuel Spill into Bowmanville Creek. Rainbow trout have begun
to spawn and have been making their way from Lake Ontario up through the creek to
their spawning sites for the last two weeks or so. It appears that there were fish staging in
the creek at the time of the spill, however, some of these have since died. Fishing season
opens at the end of April and there will be people who intend to eat what they catch. He
feels that it is imperative that a public information meeting with the relevant public
agencies present be held as soon as possible so that our community can obtain factual
information about what caused the spill, what impacts have been detected and those that
are expected, and related public health issues that need to be addressed.

Summary of Correspondence -12- April 12, 1999
D —11 Kathryn J. Vout, Town Clerk, Town of Grimsby, advising of a resolution passed by the
Town of Grimsby as follows:
"WHEREAS there is a shortage of 94 family physicians in the Niagra Region as
defined by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons standards; and
WHEREAS the West Lincoln Memorial Hospital, which serves Western Niagara
has identified that due to this shortage and future retirements, in June of 1999, the
hospital will be unable to support its anesthesia roster without an additional GP
Anesthetist; and
WHEREAS the inability of new and current citizens of our communities to find a
family physician results in the inappropriate use of emergency rooms for primary
care; and
WHEREAS the municipalities of Grimsby, Lincoln and West Lincoln have
recently partnered with West Lincoln Memorial Hospital and area physician
practices to offer significant financial incentives, using taxpayers' money, in an
effort to attract family physicians to the communities; and
WHEREAS there is concern across the Province that newly educated doctors are
leaving the Province of Ontario to take up practice in another province or country;
and
WHEREAS the current regulations faced by doctors trained overseas and in the
United States who seek to practice in Canada may be prohibitive resulting in
qualified doctors performing unskilled jobs to earn a living while the Province is
facing a significant shortage of qualified doctors;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the Town of
Grimsby requests the Province of Ontario to take steps to limit the exodus of
newly educated doctors from the Province and to recognize the human resources
available among immigrant doctors;
AND FURTHER THAT this resolution be sent to the Premier of Ontario, the
Minister of Health, the Minister of Municipal Affairs, the local Member of
Parliament, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and all municipalities in
the Province of Ontario for their support."

Ontario Non -Profit Housing Association requesting support for the
removal of federal unilaterals. AMO is concerned that current lobbying

discussions. AMO feels it is premature for municipalities to provide
support to the Ontario Non -Profit Association at this time, based on

government to clarify federal programs and to understand the ability to
create administration efficiencies. AMO is continuing its discussions
around its involvement in this federal -provincial process and agreement.

D-4 Edwin and Violet Cook, 290, 292 and 294 King Street East, Bowmanville,
L 1 C 1 P9, lodging a complaint pertaining to the issue of the snow
management policy in effect on King Street East (between Beaver Lumber
and Mearns Avenue) in Bowmanville. Since the amount of space between
the highway and the sidewalks is minimal and because it is a five -lane
highway, the amount of and frequency at which snow from the road is
piled on to the sidewalks is atrocious. They feel that the municipality
ought to be responsible for the removal of sidewalk snow which results
from ploughing of the highway in this area and are requesting assistance in
this matter.

conditions. She advised that a seven foot snow bank was piled on her
sidewalk by road clearing and in all fairness, 12 hours is insufficient to
clear such tremendous amounts of snow. She is requesting that the fee be
waived and is asking for consideration in this matter.

Ontario from unfair competition to fight for their right to jobs. In December 1998,

Ontarians working on the Quebec side. The Premier stated that if Quebec had not
removed the key barriers to Ontarians getting construction jobs in Quebec by April 1,

unproductive discussions, the barriers were still not down. Ontario had to act. It did. He

for fairness and follow the Ontario government's lead and voluntarily stop awarding
construction contracts to companies from Quebec.

1-31 Robert G. Lake, General Manager, Peterborough Utilities Commission, advising of a
provision of service for billing and settlement with IMO. He advises that as deregulation
is implemented, our local distribution company (wires company), will be required to
perform the billing function for all energy suppliers operating from within our
municipality. Most utilities today do not have the hardware and software required to
perform the billing function for multiple vendors with multiple rate structures. Also, in'
addition, our local distribution company will be required to perform a settlement function
with the Independent Market Operator. This requires calculating the load curve for all
customers in the municipality to calculate their bill, based on the rates of the energy
supplier, or for customers who have not chosen a specific supplier, applying the hourly
spot market prices to their load curve. He expects at this point, no utility has software for
a settlement system, as the rules are not fully developed. He advises that in Peterborough
they have just installed new hardware and software in their Civic Data Centre (CDC).
The CDC performs all of the computer services for the City and the PUC. One of their
largest systems is their Utility Management System, which will handle multiple vendors
and multiple rates. The software is working now in deregulated gas, and deregulated
electric utilities. They do not yet have a settlement system but will be choosing one in
the next few months. He is offering his services and would be pleased to discuss options
with the Municipality of Clarington.

Anesthetist; and
WHEREAS the inability of new and current citizens of our communities to find a
family physician results in the inappropriate use of emergency rooms for primary

recently partnered with West Lincoln Memorial Hospital and area physician
practices to offer significant financial incentives, using taxpayers' money, in an

WHEREAS there is concern across the Province that newly educated doctors are
leaving the Province of Ontario to take up practice in another province or country;

SUBJECT: CLOCA's 2nd .Annual Durham Children's Groundwater Festival
Launched as part of the Authority's 40th anniversary theme of "Water Quality", a mini -groundwater Festival
was held in October 1998. This year the Authority is working with the Children's Groundwater Institute
(CGI) to plan a larger four-day event for the Second Annual Durham Children's Groundwater Festival. The
Festival will be held from September 27th - October 1st at Camp Samac in Oshawa. Last year the Festival
attracted approximately 720 students and this year attendance will increase to 4000 students. The goal of the
Festival is to increase the awareness of grade four students concerning water issues and motivate them to
become water stewards in their home, classroom and community. The Festival is a full day event and
consists of hands-on, interactive activities with messages relevant to their daily lives. Through the learning
centres students will soak up knowledge on properties, uses, connections and importance of water and
habitat. They will also discover the essential role water plays in the social and economic development of
Ontario. All activities are designed to meet the new common curriculum standards. A school registration
package will be issued to the organizing committee members in March for distribution to school program
coordinators. Three teacher workshops will be held in the beginning of June at which time they will receive
pre-program and follow-up activities to be included into their curriculum. Please see attached Festival
proposal(separately bound).
Background: Children's Groundwater Institute
Groundwater Festivals were first initiated by the Children's Groundwater Institute (CGI) in 1994. CGI is an
industry sponsored, non-profit, charitable organization initiated by Ciba-Geigy. Their mission is to develop
educational activities, materials and festivals on a local level to promote water environmental education to
children. The Children's Groundwater Institute believes the value of water and the protection of the
environment is fundamental to our existence and therefore deserves our attention. Since the initial festival in
1994, the Children's Groundwater Institute has held 15 festivals in Ontario educating over 45,000 children.
Financing
The Financing of the 1999 Durham Festival is the responsibility of the Children's Groundwater Institute.
The Authority will be coordinating a local sponsorship program to supplement operating costs. The cost to
host the 1999 Festival is estimated at $40,000 - $41,000, which includes busing costs for students. .A
majority of this cost will be recovered through an admission fee of $6.00/student (busing included) with the
balance raised through local sponsorships.

Leasing of Land (Section 21(d)) Schedule 4-2 of Mar. 2/99
The period for which an Authority may lease land without approval of the Minister has been increased from

Section 28 (3): the authority's power to grant permission "subject to conditions" is affirmed, as is the power
to cancel permission if conditions are not met.
Section 28 (4): maps referred to in a regulation are to be available for public review at the Authority head
office during normal business hours.
Section 28 (5): regulated areas are limited to:
(a) adjacent or close to the shoreline of the Great Lakes -St. Lawrence River System or to inland lakes that
may be affected by flooding, erosion or dynamic beach hazards;
(b) river or stream valleys;
(c) hazardous lands;
(d) wetlands; or

S.R.: 4304-99 APPROVED BY C.A.O.
MEMO TO: The Chairman and Members of CLOCA Board of Directors
FROM: J.R. Powell, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Committee of the Whole
The following resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors at their meeting on January 19, 1999.
Res. k8 Moved by B. Nicholson
Seconded by J. Gray
THAT the Authority establishes a Committee of the Whole, comprised of all members of the
Authority, to replace the Executive Committee. The Committee of the Whole to retain the
same responsibilities as the previous Executive Committee.
The purpose of this report is to request the Board give further consideration to the role and functions of a
Committee of the Whole, beyond simply a replacement for the activities of the former Executive Committee.
CLOCA Administrative Regulations
Revised. November 17. 1992
"POWERS AND FUNCTIONS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
21. Subject to the Conservation Authorities Act and to any power or function being reserved to the
Authority by these regulations, the Authority Executive Committee shall,
(a) enter into such contracts or agreements as are necessarily incidental to the erection of works under anv
project that has previously been approved by the Authority.
(b) consider and authorize where necessary, the purchase of such equipment and services as are necessary
for carrying out the approved work of the Authority.
(c) to direct and administer the Authority's Personnel Policy.
(d) approve and authorize payment of accounts in the interim period between General Authority Meetings.
(e) regularly scrutinize and investigate all aspects of the Authority's finances and, when necessan ,
recommend appropriate action to the Authority.
(f) before every Annual General Meeting, consider the financial needs of the Authority in relation to its
various projects, general conservation activities and administrative processes for the ensuing year, and
draw up a proposed budget for presentation to the Annual General Meeting.
(g) receive delegations on behalf of the Authority and if necessary, report and make recommendations
thereon to the Authority.
cont'd....... 2
S.R. 430499 February 10, 1999
IMS: ABDA2 Page 2
Schedule 4-20 of Mar. 2/99
(h) decide and recommend to the General Authority such matters of policy and practice as are not covered
by these regulations.
(i) appoint subcommittees from its own members or otherwise to study, consider and report to the
Executive Committee on any subject over which the Executive Committee has jurisdiction.
22. The Executive Committee may consider and investigate all proposed land purchases in connection
with any approved project or other approved activity of the Authority. No purchase or option of land
shall be made until the General Authority has approved by resolution the recommendation of the
Executive Committee.
23. On request, the Executive Committee may approve transfer of funds up to $2,000.00 from the amount
allocated in one section of the budget for the approved activities to the account of another. Where the
requested transfer is in excess of $2,000.00, the Executive Committee shall consider the matter and
make recommendations to the General Authority. In no case shall monies that have been raised for a
specific approved project be transferred to any other project or item of expenditure without the prior
approval of the General Authority.
24. Notwithstanding any powers given to the Executive Committee by previous sections, the Executive
Committee shall not approve any expenditures that result in the total amount budgeted for all projects,
general conservation activities and administrative activities being exceeded by the total expenditures
for these items during the current year. If it should appear that the total expenditure on all projects,
and other items during the year will exceed the current budget, the Executive Committee shall order
the cessation of all unessential Authority activities and make recommendations on the problem to the
General Authority at the earliest possible opportunity."
It is the opinion of staff that the regular business of the Authority can be handled by the Board of Directors
meeting on a monthly basis. In 1998 the average duration of meetings was:
Board of Directors
Executive Committee
1 hr. 12 min.
46 min.
Given there was almost always an element of duplication between Board of Directors and Executive
Committee agendas, two hours seems to be a reasonable estimate for average meeting duration based on the
Board convening once a month.
The Committee of the Whole format affords an opportunity for the Board of Directors to consider certain
matters in more depth and under less formal procedures than the Board of Directors meeting format. Items
upcoming that would benefit from Committee of the Whole discussion include the following:
1. Lynde Shores Management Plan: final draft
2. Corporate Strategy Review
3. 1999 Budget and Multi Year Forecasts

MONTHLY NUCLEAR REPORT CARDS REFLECT HIGHER TARGETS
The Ontario Hydro monthly nuclear report cards that were released today have a number of changes, including
increased performance standards.
"We have shown steady improvement, but it's time we raised the standards," said Carl Andognini,
Executive Vice -President and Chief Nuclear Officer. "We can only achieve our goal of being among the best in
the world if our targets reflect the highest standards."
Because standards have been raised, it may appear in the short term that the performance of our nuclear
operations have declined.
"Some of the `excellent' standards we achieved last year, will only be `good' when measured against
this year's targets. However, the overall progress, as measured by the OHN performance index, will continue
to move upward," Andognini said.
The report cards also have a number of other changes. They show some trends in performances and
also contain a number of renamed categories. Among the changes:
Radioactive Waste Produced will have more restrictive targets, and Spills, Major and Moderate
replaces Spills Reportable to the MOE. This is a tougher measure and it will be harder to achieve the
"excellent" standard that was recorded last year. Employee safety targets will be raised in all three measured
areas.
The report cards, which measure such things as production, radiation exposure, safety issues and
overall nuclear performance, are made available to a wide -range of groups, including the communities in which
Ontario Hydro's nuclear generation stations are located.
The material is also available at Ontario Hydro Nuclear Information Centres, on the Ontario Hydro web
site (www.hydro.on.ca) and by "Fax -On -Demand", by calling 1-800-238-7718 and asking for story code
10100.

Radioactive Waste Produced has more restrictive targets for 1999 than in 1998. Dose to Public will not be reported at the OHN
level, as this indicator measures the dose received by the public adjacent to each nuclear site, and does not roll -up to an OHN total. What
had been reported previously at the OHN level was simply the highest dose figure generated by any of OHN's facilities. As such it was not
representative of either the dose received by the average Ontario resident, nor the average resident adjacent to a nuclear facility. Targets
are unchanged from 1998. The dose reported by each site will be the combined total from both "A' and "B" plants, rather than the
former practise of reporting the dose figures separately for plants sharing the same site. Spills - Major & Moderate replaces the Spills
Reportable to the MOE indicator reported last year. Targets for the new indicator are significantly more difficult to achieve. All

targets for 1999 are significantly tougher than 1998. If compared to 1999 year-end targets, Maintaining Accident Rate
'better than target" status on this indicator in 1999 will require a significant improvement in performance
over 1998 levels. Accident Severity Rate targets will be more difficult to meet in 1999. Accident 1.0

Dear Head of Council:
I am writing to update you on Local Service Realignment (LSR) and to inform you of
various measures that the province is taking to assist municipalities.
Since 1995, we have been committed to finding the best way to deliver government
services and to redefine the role of governments in Ontario to make them more
accountable to taxpayers. We have found efficiencies and savings, cut the size of
government, cut taxes and invested in priorities such as health care and education.
Our plan is working. Taxpayers are responding with renewed optimism and Ontario's
economy is responding with jobs and growth.
The government has always been open to ideas that ensure that efficient and quality
services are delivered by the level of government best able to respond to taxpayers'
needs. In this regard, the province would like to acknowledge the assistance and
advice from the municipal sector and to particularly thank Michael Power, the President
of AMO and its member municipalities for their advice on the transfer of services.
Municipalities have asked us to assist in reducing their financial risk and to provide
them with greater certainty regarding their new responsibilities so that they are better
positioned to deliver benefits to taxpayers.
On February 24, 1999, AMO wrote to the Premier asking the government to reconsider
how land ambulance and public health services are funded. AMO has also expressed
concerns regarding the delivery of land ambulance dispatch services and has asked for
more time before land ambulance is transferred to the local level. We have listened
and, today, are responding to those concerns.
We are pleased to work with the municipal sector under a new partnership arrangement
to deliver land ambulance and public health. Effective January 1, 1999 the province
will share 50 per cent of municipal costs for public health and land ambulance
approved by the Ministry of Health.
I-21
To ensure that all property taxpayers benefit from the change in cost-sharing for public
health and land ambulance, municipalities will receive a $20 million Community
Reinvestment Fund (CRF) Bonus equivalent to 15 per cent of the CRF that would
otherwise be reduced due to lower land ambulance and public health costs. This will
allow municipalities that receive CRF payments to be better off and better positioned to
pass lower program costs on to their taxpayers.
These measures will reduce costs to municipalities by $290 million, resulting in overall
net savings of $150 million.
We are extending the deadline for the final transfer of land ambulance to
January 1, 2001. We recognize, however, that municipalities are at different stages of
readiness and many municipalities are poised to accept responsibility. Therefore, any
municipality that is ready to assume this service earlier should do so. The province will
also continue to work through AMO to deal with dispatch and other implementation
issues to ensure the transfer of services goes smoothly.
You will note the welcome change to the costing methodology for OPP non -contract
policing which has been revised for 1999, reducing costs for municipalities across the
province by an estimated $22 million.
Many of you have also asked for POA payments. In April, the province will provide one-
time grants to municipalities in accordance with the amounts and distribution of
Provincial Offences Act net revenues that were used to determine municipalities' 1998
CRF allocations. These payments will be made in early April, 1999. Grants in respect
of POA net revenues from January 1, 1999 will be paid when transfer agreements with
the Ministry of the Attorney General have been signed.
1998 Year -End LSR Adjustment
Last August at the AMO Conference, I made a commitment that we would carry out a
year-end review of the 1998 LSR programs. I also said municipalities which
experienced program cost decreases would retain their 1998 CRF allocation. At the
same time, an assurance was given that no municipality would be disadvantaged from
increased program costs. Our hard work to find efficiencies and savings is paying off
and we are pleased to confirm that LSR costs have significantly declined for the
majority of municipalities, providing a benefit of $170 million for 1998. Program costs
are continuing to decline, and for 1999, municipal LSR costs are expected to decline
$390 million from the cost estimates released on March 31, 1998.
WAM
For those municipalities that have experienced increased program costs in 1998, there
will be an additional $20 million provided as part of the year-end CRF adjustment.
Information pertaining to your 1998 CRF year-end adjustment and 1999 CRF
allocations along with a detailed guide will be sent to your municipality by courier over
the next several days. CRF year-end adjustments for 1998 will be reflected in the 2"°
quarter 1999 CRF payments to be made in April, 1999.
Assistance for 1999
In 1998, the province provided additional support to municipalities through the Special
Circumstances Fund. The Honourable Chris Hodgson, Chair of Management Board
and Minister of Northam Development and Mines, will announce shortly details for a
Special Circumstances Fund for 1999.
In addition, the Municipal Restructuring Fund announced last year to support municipal
restructuring is being extended. To assist northern municipalities with transitional costs
associated with the annexation of unincorporated areas, funding will be available under
Northern Transition Assistance. Details regarding these programs have been
communicated to eligible municipalities and allocations will be announced next month.
In the next few weeks, the province, for the first time, will be making payments -in -lieu of
taxes to municipalities for property the provincial government occupies and leases from
tax exempt organizations such as the federal government and municipalities. My
colleague, The Honourable Al Leach, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing will be
communicating with you directly on this matter.
In 1998, municipalities benefited from an estimated $170 million saving due to the
reduced employer's contribution rate and a one-year suspension of employer
contributions to the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS). For
1999, municipalities are estimated to save more than $200 million in reduced OMERS
costs.
The significant reductions in program costs, the changes announced today in cost-
sharing arrangements and the additional assistance being provided to municipalities will
help you to meet your responsibilities, as service providers, employers and elected
officials. These changes and assistance will also help municipalities to meet their
obligations under the Pay Equity Act.
Extension of Deadlines
In order to provide municipalities with more time to factor these changes into their
budgets and to pass on savings to taxpayers, the upper tier rating by-law deadline will
be extended 30 days to April 30, 1999.
In addition, we are responding to concerns for additional time to send out tax notices in
respect of 1998 that implement the requirements of the 10-5-5 capping provisions. To
assist in this regard, the province will be extending the March 31 and June 30 school
board remittances and will make equivalent payments on behalf of municipalities
directly to school boards.
With respect to the March 31 school board remittance, municipalities that send out
recalculated 1998 tax notices before March 31 will be required to repay the instalment.
without interest, to the province by April 30. Municipalities that send out tax notices
after March 31 will have to repay the province 30 days after tax notices are mailed.
School board remittances must be repaid no later than July 31.
The province will also extend the June 30 school board remittance until July 31 for
municipalities that have not billed by June 1,
The timing of municipalities sending out recalculated 1998 tax notices may also affect
the 1999 interim bills. For municipalities that are affected, the province will assist by
providing interest relief for the non -school board share of the 1999 interim bills, up to
July 31. Municipalities may apply to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing for
this assistance, which will be granted based on the timing of adjusted 1998 tax notices.
As promised, the province will also be providing assistance to compensate for the
administrative costs of billing for those municipalities that have met the requirements of
the 10-5.5 capping provisions of Bill 79. Details will follow shortly.
To address municipal concerns about the maintenance of the frozen assessment
listing, the province is prepared to support centralized management of the frozen
assessment listing for 1998, 1999 and 2000.
Again. 1 would like to thank municipalities for their co-operation and advice during the
past transition year and to extend our commitment to continue to work with our
municipal partners in delivering quality services in a more efficient and cost-effective
way for all taxpayers.
I am confident that the reduction in the LSR program base as well as additional funding
commitments will provide municipalities with the certainty, the tools and time required to
ensure that taxpayers benefit from the realignment of local services.
Yours sincerely,
Ernie Eves. Q.C.

Attention: Mayor Diane Hamre
Dear Madam:
Subject: Fuel Oil Spill at Goodyear Canada
Bowmanville Creek - CLOCA IMS File: RDFA2
In regard to the above subject matter, the following Authority concerns regarding this incident
are provided for your information.
The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority is a potentially affected downstream
property owner, namely the Bowmanville Harbour Conservation Area. This conservation
area has been established around the Bowmanville Marsh, which not only provides habitat for
migratory birds, but also forms part of the Bowmanville Creek system which is recognized as
a high quality cold water fishery.
It is our understanding that the fuel oil spill at the Goodyear plant occurred on March 7, 1999,
however, it wasn't until March 11 that the Authority received "official" notification of the
spill from enforcement personnel of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. During staffs
presence on the site (March 12 to March 16), it became apparent that the concern was not only
for the visible oil product within the waters of Bowmanville Creek, but also for the fuel oil
trapped under the ice, particularly in the area of West Beach Road.
At the direction of Authority staff, an impermeable boom was installed across the mouth of
the Bowmanville Marsh on March 15. It is hoped that the low water levels within the marsh
at the time of the spill, as well as the impermeable boom, has prevented fuel oil from entering
the Marsh. Authority staff observed no visible evidence of fuel oil in the Marsh during their
time on the site. Staff will continue to monitor the Marsh area for any such evidence.

A recent creek walk, attended by Goodyear Canada, Detox Environmental, Environment
Canada, Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Authority staff, was conducted on March
22 to review the cleanup measures and their effectiveness. Staff acknowledge the effort put
forth by Goodyear and Detox Environmental on the cleanup, however, some fuel oil is still
evident at the source of the spill. Cleanup efforts are continuing in this area and investigations
into the extent of fuel oil within the soil is almost complete. It was evident during this creek
walk that fuel oil exists within the soil and sediment along the immediate creek banks along
the length of the creek. In some cases, fuel oil was also evident on the aquatic vegetation
within and adjacent to the creek. Staff have concerns for the amount of fuel oil in these areas
as well as what efforts will be undertaken to address this potential chronic problem and its
possible effects on the Bowmanville Creek fishery and any associated wildlife use of the
creek.
Discussion has occurred as to what the best recourse is to deal with the fuel oil within the
sediments and soils of the creek, however, at this point there are no real firm answers.
Concerns would be had for any efforts that cause further disruption of the aquatic ecosystem
of the Bowmanville Creek, particularly if such cleanup efforts require major works on the
creek.
Overall, the cleanup of visible fuel oil in the creek and within the ice has been very effective,
however, Authority staff are unsure as to the potential long term effects, if any, that this spill
may have on the fish, aquatic vegetation and wildlife which use the Bowmanville Creek. At
the present time, the spring run of rainbow trout within the creek has commenced. Authority
staff have arranged with Mr. D. Lawson to open the fish ladder at the Goodyear Dam to
provide access for the fish to the creek upstream of the affected portions of the creek. The
ladder will be opened on March 27. It should be noted that the fish ladder was closed at the
time of the spill and during the bulk of the cleanup efforts. This measure should address any
immediate potential impacts upon the rainbow trout run within the Bowmanville Creek.
In conclusion, while the cleanup efforts undertaken to date have been effective, Authority staff
are still unclear as to what potential long term effects this spill may have on the aquatic
ecosystem of the Bowmanville Creek. At what point will these efforts be considered complete
and on what basis will this decision be made?

MEMO TO: The Chairman and Members, CLOCA Board of Directors
FROM: Robert Hersey, Provincial Offences Officer
SUBJECT: Fuel Oil Spill at Goodyear Canada
Bowmanville Creek
As the Members may be aware, on March 7 a fuel oil spill occurred at the Goodyear plant in Bow tanvillt
As a result of this spill, approximately 500 gallons of No. 2 Fuel Oil entered the Bowmanville Creek. The
spill occurred at a storage tank behind the Goodyear plant, in the immediate vicinity of the Goodyear pot(
Authority staff were first notified of this spill by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Enforcement staff
on March 11. They were concerned for the impact of this spill on the fish population of Bowmanville Cr(
and as the spill may be pursued as a breach of the Fisheries Act, Authority staff were asked to be a presen,
on the site.
On March 12, Authority staff met with the plant manager and environmental manager of Goodyearto discL
the fuel oil spill. At that time, Goodyear explained how the spill occurred and what measures were being
undertaken to effect a cleanup of the oil product within the Creek. Authority staff also met with a biologi
from Environment Canada who had been on-site all week long to offer advice on the cleanup.
Authority staff remained on-site to observe the cleanup and offer advice from March 12 to March 16 at a
at which time staff from Environment Canada returned to the site. During the weekend (March 13 and 14)
Authority staff collected fish samples for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Environment Cana,
for possible evidence in any legal matter which may arise out of the fuel spill. Staff also assisted the Tor_
Wildlife Centre by providing information on the location of wildlife which may have been affected by the f
spill. Staff were also contacted by the Coast Guard to observe the mouth of the Bowmanville Creek for a
signs of the fuel oil entering Lake Ontario.
As a result of the spill, Authority staff had concerns for the fuel oil entering the Bowmanville Marsh. St
requested that an impermeable boom be placed at the mouth of confluence of the Marsh and Bowmanville
Creek, in order to prevent fuel oil from getting into the Marsh and possibly affecting the wildlife. Detox
Environmental, Goodyear's contractor for the cleanup, readily installed this boom at the location specific
Authority staff.
Cleanup efforts generally consisted of installation of absorbent booms across the creek and removal of
contaminated ice from the creek. Contaminated ice which was removed was returned to the Goodyear plat
for containment. During the course of staffs presence on the site, it became apparent that oil product ui
the ice was the main concern. Oil product found under the ice was a problem as far south as the
Bowmanville Harbour Conservation Area. The removal of this ice necessitated the access to Authority
owned lands at the Harbour in order to facilitate ice removal, [tamely in the area of West Beach Road.
cont'd...............
IMS: RDFA2 March 23,
S.R.: 432499 Pa
Authority staff attended a creek walk with Environment Canada, Detox Environmental, Goodyear and the
Ontario Ministry of the Environment on March 22. The purpose of this creek walk was to review the res
of the cleanup effort on the creek. During this walk, it was apprent that the major area of concern was at
Goodyear plant at the location of the spill. Fuel oil was still being observed along the creek banks, likely
result of the oil moving through the soil into the creek. Containment efforts at the site has resulted in the
collection of some of the oil, however, it is apparent that some oil product is still making its way into the
Creek. Some oil sheen is still being observed downstream of the plant, particularly in areas of slower me
waters (pools and back eddies). As of the time of the creek walk, no appreciable amount of ice was obser
on the creek, likely having melted or removed as a result of the cleanup. Some oil sheen was observed as
south as the mouth of the Bowmanville Creek. It was noted, however, that there appears to be some fuel
trapped within the sediments and soil immediately adjacent to the Creek itself, and possibly some fuel oil
the aquatic vegetation. Cleanup of this material is likely to be addressed in the next several weeks, once i
has been determined what the most effective means of cleanup is.
Authority staff have met with inspectors from Environment Canada regarding possible legal action under
Fisheries Act. Authority staff who attended the site have been asked to secure all fish samples and prepar
documentaion and photographs taken at the site. Should legal action result from this spill, all fish sample:
photographs and documentation will be provided to Environment Canada. At present all fish samples are
under lock and key, and staff are preparing the documentation requested. As of March 22, staff have bee
informed that Environment Canada will likely have a de -briefing session in the next several weeks at whic
all involved agencies will meet.
Authority staff will continue to keep the Authority Board apprised of the situation.
RECOMMENDATION.

In reference to our conversation today regarding our application which was somehow
overlooked despite being dropped off at the desk prior to the deadline. I would respectfully
request consideration of our application, as a first year club we desperately need it.
The municipality has been very supportive and as a result we have enjoyed a very successful first
year with 42 members. I
In order to expand our club we need help with the first year expenses, with the response we have
had and a waiting list for next year we feel we should be able to raise our own funds.
This year however we must purchase more safety pads for the ice which are very costly.
On behalf of the Clarington Speedskating Club I thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
A�"
Kathlynn Hoch
Club President.
