unnecessarily adding excessive phosphorus through the sewage plant into Lake Ontario.
He expressed concerns with the report, noting other technologies which were not being
considered and stating that there were conflicting views between the report and the two
university studies which were conducted. Mr. Steele stated that the Region's use of
nozzles to increase velocity does not reduce the pollutants going into Lake Ontario. He

simulated capacity study.

Re: Report PLN 01-14
Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant
Doug Anderson, President, Durham Clear, appeared before Council in opposition to
Report PLN 01-14. He stated that he had attended the forums and also noted a lack
of consultation in this regard, with no interaction. He felt the EA has not established
the best option, just the preferred option, and also noted this has not yet received
Regional approval, questioning why this report is being considered. He also noted
that the 5 tertiary treatments were not even considered in the report. He stated his
concerns with respect to the impacts on the natural environment and the future of the
Duffins Creek Plant, noting the need to explore alternatives. He requested that
Council strongly oppose this plan and take time to consider the options.

Environmental Assessment (EA) to address the future capacity limitations of the

that it supports the preferred solution identified through the EA to meet the

with new valves that can open and close in response to increased and
decreased flows, to improve effluent mixing; and

containment of phosphorous to continue to be within the maximum daily
phosphorus limit as volumes of effluent increase;

to revise the "Regions' Commitments" through this EA process by:

annual budget for such research, and engaging in partnerships with

b) adding a new section to the Regions' Commitments to ensure that the future
EA to address wastewater needs beyond the Plant's current limit of 630 Million
Litres Per Day will include all necessary components of an EA to address
future outfall capacity limitations, rather than the piecemeal approach that was •
followed with the last Plant expansion;

Resolution # 164/14
Moved by Councillor Pickles
Seconded by Councillor Dickerson
Whereas Pickering Council has passed previous motions regarding the federal lands
including Resolution 212/98.
Whereas the federal lands consists of approximately 18,600 acres in total, with the
majority in the City of Pickering.
Whereas the June 11, 2013 announcement by the Federal Government identified, that
it will designate approximately 8,700 acres for an airport and transfer approximately
5,000 acres to Parks Canada for the creation of the Rouge National Urban Park.
Whereas there are 4,900 acres of"remaining lands" (i.e. the lands that are not
included in the new airport site, and not part of the transfer to the Rouge). The
announcement in June, 2013 referenced that these lands could be used for "job-
creating development". The majority of these remaining lands are designated by the
Province of Ontario as Greenbelt and/or Oak Ridges Moraine, border the Rouge Park,
8

and are largely comprised of prime agricultural lands.
Whereas the Federal Government has identified that new Airport Zoning Regulations
(AZRs) will need to be established to reflect this new, smaller airport site and land
transfer to the park (AZRs are currently in place based on the entire federal ownership
being considered an "airport site").
Whereas after the June 11, 2013 announcement, Transport Canada held two public
engagement opportunities. People were invited to provide comments through the
Transport Canada website. Transport Canada has not yet provided to the City of
Pickering or residents a summary of the comments or responses to the open houses.
Whereas Pickering Council supports an open and transparent process with an
opportunity to analyze and share relevant information as well as appropriate
opportunities for public review and input to decision making.
Whereas in the early 2000s, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA)
established a Pickering Advisory Committee to provide advice on the completion of a
draft plan and to obtain input on the Airport Zoning Regulations (AZRs) that were
being established at that time. The GTAA Committee had representatives from the
affected local and regional municipalities (elected officials and staff) as well as
representatives from the surrounding affected communities.
Now therefore be it resolved that the Federal Government establish an open and
transparent process with opportunities to share, analyze and comment on relevant
documents and decision-making on the use of the federal lands including the
announced airport in the City of Pickering.
That the Federal Government provide a summary of the comments and responses
received through the open houses that followed the June 11, 2013 announcement.
That on lands falling outside the announced airport site, the Federal Government
respect the Federal Green Space Lands Master Plan, and the provincial Greenbelt
Plan and Oak Ridges Moraine policies.
That the Federal Government clarify whether the entire airport site is needed for
airport purposes, or whether other uses might also be introduced and if so what they
would be.
That the Federal Government prepare/update and make public for review and
comment, a business case for use of the federal lands, including the announcement of
an airport.

Assessment, with appropriate opportunities for review and input by the City of

reimburse the City for reasonable expenses to participate in the Environmental
Assessment Process.
That the Federal Government continue to involve the City of Pickering on the AZR
process.
That Transport Canada re-establish a Pickering Advisory Committee to act as a liaison
between the Federal Government, the City of Pickering and the community on matters
pertaining to the federal lands and announced airport. The Committee members to
