PRESENT ATIONS
Mayor Abernethy introduced Gord Miller, Environmental Commissioner of Ontario, to
address Council on "The Role of the Environmental Commissioner and Current
Issues". Mayor Abernethy noted that Mr. Miller has served as the Environmental
Commissioner of Ontario since January 31, 2000, and that prior to his appointment,
he worked for the Ontario Ministry of the Environment for 14 years as a scientist,
manager of training and development, and as a district manager. He has direct
experience with numerous environmental issues, including approval and inspection
activities, municipal sewage, drinking water, solid waste management, hazardous
waste, noise, air pollution and land use planning.
Council Meeting Minutes

November 23, 2009
Mr. Miller addressed Council indicating he would be speaking about his Annual Report
issued in October, his new responsibilities under the Green Economy Act and waste
management issues. Mr. Miller clarified that he is an independent officer appointed
by the Ontario Legislative Assembly to monitor and report annually on government
compliance with the Environmental Bill of Rights.
Mr. Miller addressed ecological resilience, how a system relates and responds to
disturbances, and the need to ensure that systems can withstand shocks in planning
reform and land use planning. He noted in 2010, the Provincial Policy Statement is
set for review and urged Council to pursue changes in the Planning system. Mr. Miller
discussed the need to protect diversity and resources, for example, how the
government manages soil erosion and the need to come up with better ways. He also
addressed resilience in infrastructure noting changes to the Environmental
Assessment process to facilitate transit development.
Mr. Miller discussed his Annual Report to the Legislature including changes to the
Green Economy Act which now require that he report on initiatives in Ontario to
reduce the use or to make more efficient use of energy and to report on barriers in
reducing energy that may be found in Acts or Regulations in Federal or Provincial
policy or Municipal by-laws. Mr. Miller indicated his first report will be presented at the
end of 2010 and that he looks forward to working with Municipalities and distribution
companies.
Mr. Miller discussed waste management issues indicating there is no Provincial
Strategy governing waste management in Ontario. He noted municipalities govern
residential waste and even though the public aspires to reduce, recycle and reuse, the
municipality is left with 40% residual waste. Mr. Miller stated in Ontario, we are faced
with two bad options -landfill technologies that encompass environmental liability that
stretches forward to future generations or the family of combustion or thermalization
technology that emits pollutants in real time. Mr. Miller stated the old incineration
technology was extremely poor but the European technology is vastly better. He
acknowledged that there are emissions but they are not in the order of the old
technology and that Council and the public should trust the Ministry of the
Environment, the engineering technology and the approval standards and to insist the
Province maintain the highest standards.
Mayor Abernethy acknowledged John O'Toole, MPP, Durham, in attendance this
evening.
Mayor Abernethy stated a pecuniary interest with respect to the presentation of
Bernard Nayman regarding Report CLD-026-09 Compliance Audit - John Mutton as
one of the individuals who brought the complaint forward against the individual at the
centre of the Compliance Audit was a member of his 2006 Election Campaign, and he
competed for the position he now holds with the individual who is at the centre of the
Compliance Audit. Mayor Abernethy vacated the Chair and refrained from discussion
and voting on this matter.

Mr. Nayman stated the compliance audit was conducted in accordance with Section

auditing standards. Mr. Nayman provided an overview of the report, highlighted
apparent contraventions of the Act with respect to contributions, expenses and
municipal resources, responded to applicant complaints and audit findings. Mr.
Nayman summarized the audit findings indicating that the audit determined that there
were 34 instances of apparent contraventions of the Act.
Mayor Abernethy resumed the Chair.

90 years, most are retired and would like to spend more time at the cottage and to
remain until the infrastructure for the park is in place. Mr. MacDonald thanked staff
and Members of Council for their professionalism in dealing with their inquiries and
hoped that an amicable solution for all could be found.

Edwin Bounsall addressed Council concerning Staff Report #4 - Report PSD-112-09 -
Offer of Compensation to Port Darlington Harbour Company Respecting the
Expropriation of the West Beach Lands for Bowmanville Waterfront District Park-
Parts 1,2,3,4 on Plan of Expropriation 0552233 and Parts 1 and 2 on Plan of
Expropriation DR838341 indicating that all but one of the cottage owners were present
this evening and are in favour of the Report as far as it goes. Mr. Bounsall stated that
they have asked for lifetime leases which, due to their ages, would not last forever,
and failing that have suggested that consideration be given to five-year leases with
potential for renewal reviewed at that time. Mr. Bounsall suggested an amendment be
made to the recommendation that would not preclude further rental agreements or
leases beyond 2010, which would then provide the opportunity for further consultation.
Emily Pillinger addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item 0 - 2 - Request
for Amendment to By-law to Licence, Regulate or Permit Certain Animals.
Ms. Pillinger is proposing that the municipality amend By-law 93-161 to permit single-
family homes to keep 3 to 6 laying hens for household egg gathering. Ms. Pillinger
stated in this time of economic hardship and push towards 'greener' living, the keeping
of hens would help sustain local food systems. She indicated many communities
allow the keeping of hens and that chickens have been kept in urban areas for
thousands of years. Ms. Pillinger highlighted the advantages of keeping chickens
noting they do not pose a public health risk and legal chickens will not increase the
need for animal control. Ms. Pillinger urged Council to consider her request and
distributed information on the keeping of backyard chickens.
Resolution #C-673-09
Moved by Councillor Foster, seconded by Councillor Woo
THAT the meeting recess for ten minutes.

John Mutton, George Van Dyk and Richard Ward regarding Report CLD-026-09
Compliance Audit - John Mutton as one of the individuals who brought the complaint
forward against the individual at the centre of the Compliance Audit was a member of
his 2006 Election Campaign, and he competed for the position he now holds with the

John Mutton addressed Council concerning Staff Report #2 - Report CLD-026-09 -
Compliance Audit - John Mutton. Mr. Mutton stated this audit is the third audit that
has been performed on his election campaign expenses and questioned how much
money has been spend on this issue to date. He advised that he is a defeated
candidate who is happy in the private sector. Mr. Mutton expressed concern with
certain findings of the audit with respect to the list of "associated corporations", with
the listing of Panoz Motor Sports as an ineligible contributor, the assumption of the
number of election signs and the reallocation of gifts of appreciation to payment of
election staff.
George Van Dyk addressed Council concerning Staff Report #2 - Report CLD-026-09
- Compliance Audit - John Mutton. Mr. Van Dyk stated the audit report completely
vindicates and exonerates the individuals who requested the audit be performed as it
indicates there were 34 apparent contraventions of the Act regarding contributions
and expenses. Mr. Van Dyk feels that the total amount of municipal resources spent
on the election campaign should be returned to the taxpayers of Clarington. He
advised the individuals who requested the audit have spent more than $11,000 and
reminded Council that they have 30 days from receiving this report to act upon it. Mr.
Van Dyk questioned whether Council will have charges laid against Mr. Mutton or if
they will rely on the complainants to take this matter to court.
Richard Ward addressed Council concerning Staff Report #2 - Report CLD-026-09 -
Compliance Audit - John Mutton. Mr. Ward stated the audit performed by
Mr. Nayman of Mr. Mutton's 2006 Election Financial campaign confirms that he was
correct in his challenge of Mr. Mutton's 2003 Election campaign as there is a
duplication of many associated corporations that he had previously challenged.
Mr. Ward stated these are indictable offences and that prosecution is in order.
Mayor Abernethy resumed the Chair.
Richard Ward addressed Council concerning the Presentation of Gord Miller,
Environmental Commissioner of Ontario. Mr. Ward expressed concern that the Deer
Creek Golf Course was taking water without a permit during the construction of the
Ajax Water Treatment facility and contaminating west Ajax and Pickering. Mr. Ward
stated he contacted numerous agencies including the Environmental Commissioner,
the Medical Officer of Health and the police services with no resolve. Mr. Ward stated
20% of the $6 million value was paid by Clarington and that the golf course should be
invoiced for this amount.

Directors pertaining to municipal leadership in climate change action
calling on the Government of Canada to recognize and support
municipal leadership and action in greenhouse gas reduction as part
of Canada's efforts to meet national or international climate change
objectives:
"WHEREAS a global reduction in the emissions of carbon dioxide
(C02) and its significant contribution to the creation of greenhouse
gases (GHG) is necessary to slow climate change and reduce the
risks to our economy, human health, the physical environment and
quality of life;
WHEREAS human activities have caused a dramatic increase in the
amount of carbon dioxide (C02) in the earth's atmosphere. Since the
mid 1700s, the concentration of CO2 has risen from about 280 parts
per million (ppm) to reach 387 ppm in 2009. This amount is likely the
highest concentration in the atmosphere in the past 20 million years;
WHEREAS evidence presented in the Intergovernmental Panel of
Climate Change (IPCC) November 2007 report indicates that
"Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident
from observations of increases in global average air and ocean
temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice and rising global
average sea level" and "Most of the observed increase in global
average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to
the observed increase in anthropogenic GHG concentrations. It is
likely that there has been significant anthropogenic warming over the
past 50 years averaged over each continent (except Antarctica).";

for mitigation will fall primarily on municipalities;
WHEREAS municipalities are leaders among governments in Canada
when it comes to making climate change a priority;
WHEREAS in December, national governments from around the

conditions of a new global climate agreement;
WHEREAS local community based emission reductions can be lower
cost compared to many other approaches, while also providing
important social, economic, and environmental benefits to citizens
and businesses;

being of communities across Canada have urged federal and
provincial/territorial governments to make climate protection a priority;

Declaration on Climate Change committing municipal governments,
each according to their individual circumstances and abilities, to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent from 1990 levels by
2020 and by 80 percent by 2050;
WHEREAS the FCM has climate change as a strategic priority and
has numerous programs and committees such as the Green
Municipal Funds and the Partners for Climate Protection Program,
that support municipal leadership on climate change action;
WHEREAS Minister Baird re-affirmed the Government of Canada's
position in the House of Commons on November 18, 2009 when he

Current trends indicate that the population predictions are

in Courtice, Bowmanville and Newcastle. The Region will
attempt to capture employment lands, industrial lands along
the 407 and linkage area lands that will be serviced by the
Region.
The Province is pushing intensification targets to increase, Lisa
therefore where you may before have seen a 2 or 3 storey unit
being built, it could not be a 7 or 8 storey.
Committee feels it would be beneficial to have a presentation
from the Planning Department on the 407 Highway and area
linkage.
The final report from the Youth Initiative has been forwarded

Idea of forming an Energy Sub-Committee was raised. The
focus of the sub-committee would to be energy conservation
and a potentially an energy conservation challenge in the
Municipality. The aspects of the EcoEnergy Home Retrofit

There is currently a new solar panel program that is arranging
to have customers sell back excess energy to Hyd~o at the rate
of (approx) 80 cents kw hour. There is a real opportunity hear
for municipalities that are quick to get in on the early stages of

builders to consider this option. There is a possibility of a
partnership with the Green Committee and the Municipality to
start a process to streamline the application process to make it
easier for residents considering this program.

2.0 ITEMS FOR INFORMATION
2.1 Road Watch News & Statistics-(Gord Lee)
DRPS Statistics-(Constable Esther Rathwell)
Traffic Watch Statistics-(Ron Baker)
Gord attended the Newcastle Bond Head Ratepayers meeting where 42 people
were in attendance. He gave a presentation which educated residents about how
the Road Watch Program works. Brochures were handed out and there was an
article in the Orono newspaper mentioning the presentation from Gord. Members
felt that there should be more educational tools for the Road Watch Program so
Gord Lee has offered to give presentations whenever possible.
There were no reports in the drop boxes as oftoday. Constable Rathwell
informed members that all reports are up-to-date and Gord Lee will pick up
reports from staff. He will hand them over to Esther.
The box in the Canadian Tire Store is full of pamphlets and there aren't any left
for use. Gord Lee will visit this location.
2.2 Highway 407 Update-(Leslie Benson)
The 407 Committee has now met its mandate and will no longer meet.
3.0 AGENDA ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
3.1 Road Watch Box, Orono-Gord Lee
There has been a Road Watch box installed at the IGA in Orono.
3.2 Three-Way Stop @ Hampton Store-(check counts)-Ron Baker
Ron Baker performed traffic counts in Hampton in June of 2006. Average speeds
were also recorded and the results were 52.6 KPH in a 50 zone. All-way stop
warrants based on traffic counts are 50% and counts have not changed
significantly since 2006. Constable Rathwell hands out speeding tickets at this
location but said that there is not enough volume to justify time spent there.
Illegal parking is also an issue in the vicinity ofthe store and Leslie advised that
she would speak with the Director of Engineering to see if the installation of
bollards might be an option to reduce illegal parking.

Darlington Nuclear Power Plants for 2008
Philip Webster, Director, Darlington Regulatory Performance Program Division of
the CNSC, provided a presentation on the Compliance and Safety Performance of
~
;j
Pickering and Darlington Nuclear Power Plants in 2008. The highlights of Philip's
presentation were:
.. The ne\\' CNSC safety performance ratings for 2008 are:
o Fully Satisfactory (FS)
o Satisfactory (SA)
o Belm\' Expectations (BE)
o Unacceptable (UA)
. The CNSC's Safety Performance Ratings for Pickering A&B and Darlington

4.2 Report from the Ontario Drinking Water Advisory Council concerning the New
Recommended Standard for Tritium in Drinking Water
4
Jim Merritt, Chair, Ontario Drinking Water Advisory Council, provided a
presentation on the nevI"' recommended standard for tritium. Jim provided copies of
the Report and Advice all the Ontario Drinking Water Quality Srandard for Triiium
dated May 21, 2009.
The Report was prepared for the Honourable John Gerretsen, Ontario Minister of
the Environment, for his consideration. The highlights of Jim's presentation were:
. On February 21, 2007, the Minister of the Environment formally requested
the Ontario Drinking Water Advisory Council (ODW AC) to provide advice
on the Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standard for tritium as a result of the
issue being raised by the Medical Officer of HeaIth for the City of Toronto.
. On June 12,2007, the Minister made an additional request for the Council to
also take into consideration a Greenpeace Canada report authored by Dr. Ian
Fairlie entitled, "Tritium Hazards Report: Pollution and Radiation Risks at
Canadian Nuclear Facilities".
. To undertake this review, the Council established a working group comprised
of members with knowledge of the issue and experience in radionuclide risk
and regulation to assist the Council as a whole.
. The working group developed a multi-step approach including:
o Obtaining and reviewing all pertinent documentation for review
o Undertaking an inter-jurisdictional comparison
o Meeting with key stakeholder groups and individuals
o Holding a public consultation to hear directly from interested parties
o Developing recommendations for the full Council's consensus
. In an effort to arrive at a proposed Standard, several numerical variations that
use models of other jurisdictions and authorities were evaluated and revised
using Council's own conclusions. The technical challenge was how to best
utilize the available radiological research and information to arrive at a risk as
close to 1 in a million as possible, while maintaining practicability and
achievability.
Jim explained Council's 6 recommendations and they are:
. The Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standard for tritium should be revised to
20 Bq/L.
. The Standard of 20 Bq/L should be applied as the running average of the
preceding 52 weekly composite samples.
. The current sampling and monitoring programs, as conducted by the Ministry
of Labour and the industry, should continue.
. Monthly reports of biweekly test results and running averages should be sent
to the regulatory bodies, local municipalities, health units, local interest
groups and should be made available to the general public.
. It is equally important to monitor trends in monthly data and if there is an
indication of increases, the Province should require the discharger to take
appropriate corrective actions, in collaboration with other appropriate
authorities.
5
. Monitoring and reporting at the point of discharge should be the focus for
emergency response and the current program should be enhanced to require
dischargers to report monthly.
Jim Mcnitt indicated the Report and Advice on the Omario Drinking Water Quality
Standard for Tritium has been sent to the Minister of the Environment and the
Ontario Drinking Water Advisory Council is waiting further direction. Jim will
keep the D1'.1iC updated on any action to be taken respecting the Report and
recomrn endations.
For further information, Jim Menitt can be contacted at (416) 314-3606 or bye-
mail at iim.merrittm;ontario.ca and their website is wv./w.odwac.gov.on.ca.

Site for the Future Construction of a Nuclear Power Facility to the CNSC.
. In April 2007, OPG submitted a Project Description to the CNSC for the
Darlington site.
. On June 29, 2009, the Ontario Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure
announced that the Ontario Government suspended the "Request for
Proposal" process to procure two reactors for the Darlington Site due to
concern about pricing and the uncertainty around ABCL's future.
. In July 2009, OPG indicated it would continue with the EA and licensing
activities to obtain federal approvals necessary for the site preparation at
Darlington.
. On September 30,2009, OPG submitted the Environmental Inlpact Statement
(EIS) to the CNSC that is approximately 1000 pages with 28 technical
support documents of more than 9000 pages and approximately 4000 pages
for the Licence to Prepare the Site (L TPS).
. The EIS and 28 technical support documents include:
o Information on multiple technology approach
o Description of the existing environment, potential effects, mitigation,
significance of residual adverse effects and follow-up monitoring
activities
o Examination of the likely effects of the environment on the project,
cumulative effects, accidents and malfunctions
o Examination of community perspectives, views and values
. The Updated LTPS Application to the CNSC is:
o To demonstrate the site is appropriate for a NGS
o To define the site layout and activities to be undertaken
6
o To describe the management programs that will govern the activities
to be carried out
o To demonstrate to the CNSC that their regulatory requirements will
satisfied
o To make application to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and
Transport Canada for lake infilling and wharf construction 0
. On October 30, 2009, the Joint Review Panel was established by the Federal
Minister of the Environment and the President of the CNSC to empower the
three member Joint Review Panel members to:
o Conduct an examination of the environmental effects of the proposed
Project and consider the significance of the effects
o Consider measures that are technically and economically feasible to
mitigate any adverse environmental effects and the need for feIlow-
up programs with respect to the Project
o Consider comments from the public that are received during the
reVIew
o Hold public hearings
o Submit to the federal government a report with recommendations
about the Project
o May grant a Licence to Prepare the Site once a decision is made on
the Environmental Assessment
. The Joint Review Panel will consider public and technical comments from
November 2009 to May 17, 2010 and if sufficient information was available
the Joint Review Panel will proceed to a Hearing in September or October
2010.
In conclusion, Laurie indicated that OPG is confident the results of this assessment
and taking into account the proposed design and mitigation measures that the New
Nuclear at Darlington Project will not result in any significant adverse
environmental effects.
Laurie Swami or her associates will provide regular updates to the DNHC on the

MEMO
TO: Mayor Abernethy and Members of Council
FROM: Patti L. Barrie, Municipal Clerk
DATE: December 11, 2009
RE: Correspondence Item D-1 -Mike & Carmen Gazo, Pertect Party Inc.
Requesting to Sell Fireworks Year Round
Correspondence Item D-1 on Monday's Council agenda is a request from Mike & Carmen
Gazo, Perfect Party, to be allowed to sell Family Fireworks year round in their store.
The Fire Department has advised that they do not feel comfortable with allowing fireworks to
be available for sale throughout the year. There are too many needless injuries, especially
with children through the misuse of consumer fireworks. There is the problem of fireworks
being mistakenly sold to minors and the storage of fireworks adds to the fire hazard of a
building. Many fire officials and fire safety organizations feel that sale of consumer fireworks
should be completely banned and families be encouraged to attend firework events run by
professionals. Clarington Fire agrees with this stance.
The Municipal Law Enforcement Division is concerned that, as our by-law only allows for
fireworks to be set off on May 24~" and July 15t~ any fireworks sold now would have to be
stored until dates. This raises concerns over unsafe storage and accident potential.
