(III) Delegations
1. Lloyd Thomas, 489 Whitevale Road appeared before Council on behalf of the
Whitevale Residents' Association to address the issues affecting the Village of
Whitevale, stating their goal is to retain the social and cultural heritage. He
noted they do not consider schools to be part of a buffer zone and stressed the
importance of looking at everything together. He stated the need to build the
Whitevale By-pass first, they do not see the need for the reconstruction of the
existing bridge on Whitevale Road and respectfully requested Council to reject
the proposal.
A question and answer period ensued with discussion regarding the existing
bridge and by-pass, buffer zone and the difficulty in accessing information with
no high speed Internet in Whitevale.
2. Mark Lowe, resident of Whitevale appeared before Council stating he is not
opposed to the development in Seaton, but has concerns with what is being
considered a buffer zone. He stated this should act as a natural open space to
maintain the viewscape and not be engulfed by the surrounding subdivision.
He stated he understood that the plans can still be altered and requested
Council direct staff in this regard.
A question and answer period ensued with further discussion regarding the By-
pass, with the number of schools being questioned.
3. Marion Thomas, a resident of Whitevale, appeared before Council in opposition
to the Seaton Neighbourhoold Plan. She noted that schools consume a large
amount of land, increasing the need for buses. She suggested the possibility
of shared space for playgrounds and the need for rapid transit. She also noted
her concerns with sanitary sewers which would not be available to the
Whitevale residents. She stated the By-pass should be built first and that
multiple housing types should be considered.
A question and answer period ensued with respect to the notification to
residents, whereby they were not given ample opportunity to examine the
documents.
4. Beverly Morose appeared on behalf of Judy Duffus to express their concerns
with the buffer zone. She stated that schools and parks are an integral part of
the community but should not be considered a buffer. She stated that a
pristine, undeveloped area is needed as a buffer. She noted she is not

opposed to development, but would not want to see the heritage homes lost to
development. She stated that Whitevale is a vibrant community and would like
to ensure the protection and preservation of the hamlet. She asked that
Council not approve the plan and adhere to the Central Pickering
Development Plan for Seaton, this will be the legacy to Pickering.
A question and answer period ensued with respect to the location of school
sites.
5. Charles Sopher, a resident of Whitevale, appeared before Council and stated
that at an All Candidates meeting he had attended there seemed to be no
business case for development of the airport lands, and questioned whether
Seaton was considered in conjunction with an airport. He noted that according
to the Central Pickering Development Plan land exchange guidelines, the
environmentally significant features and cultural heritage of the Whitevale
Heritage District need to be protected for future generations. He questioned
the meaning of a buffer zone, stating that what currently exists is working well.
He felt there were too many school sites which do not belong in a buffer zone.
6. John Rider,a resident of Whitevale, appeared before Council stating he has
enjoyed living in Pickering and being involved in the Community since 1974.
He stated this plan fails to live up to the vision and promises made to have a
greenbelt protecting the hamlet. He felt the residents had not been given
ample opportunity to actively participate in the process. His main issues are to
honour the boundaries of the Whitevale Heritage Conservation District, remove
the schools and parks from the buffer zone, and should the Stormwater
Management Facilities be above ground structures, remove them from the
buffer as well.
A question and answer period ensued with respect to the buffer zone and the
notification process.

7. L. Craig, 1415 Whitevale Road appeared before Council and questioned why
the wording in the draft amendment to the Pickering Official Plan had been
changed to delete the reference to working cooperatively with other parties
including the residents. He also questioned why the City should be responsible
to provide internet access to the residents of Whitevale and what consideration
is being given to the other heritage buildings along Whitevale Road.
8. Steve Gilcrest,1995 Royal Road, appeared before Council with concerns
regarding the financial implications. He stated there should be full disclosure
with respect to the costs to all taxpayers. He felt the plan lacked sufficient
specific details with respect to roads, placement of schools and the associated
costs. He questioned the number of students which would be added to the
school board roles, stating a need to have definite numbers in order to
associate dollar amounts. He noted it was unfair to all to make an informed
decision in the absence of information.
Mayor Ryan noted this development is a direct result of a Provincially
controlled area based on a decision to protect the Oak Ridges Moraine.
A question and answer period ensued.
C. Rose advised Council of corrections made to the report regarding terminology
and provided a brief overview of the Minutes of Settlement and the intent of the
recommendations in Report PD 14-11. She explained the City's requirement to
prepare the Neighbourhood Plans and what requires endorsement at this point.
Paul Lowes of Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc. working on behalf
of the City undertaking the Seaton Neighbourhood Planning Review, appeared
before Council. Through the aid of a power point presentation he provided an

overview of the neighbourhood plans providing an explanation with respect to
densities, park locations, trails and Village Greens. He indicated that the Province
has stated there are to be no recreational facilities in the Natural Heritage areas.
He showed the location of pedestrian predominant streets, noting three different
options for the westerly community node. He explained the permitted uses in the
Hamlet Heritage Open Space area and also noted the size and location of the
Stormwater Management Ponds are not final at this point and confirmed they will not
be above ground. He also confirmed that the information with respect to the
number of schools came from the direction of the school boards.
Dan Leaming of The Planning Partnership, a subconsultant on the team with Paul
Lowes, appeared before Council. He provided an overview of the Sustainable
Placemaking Guidelines through the aid of a powerpoint presentation. He provided
details of the four levels of sustainability and explained the structure and
implementation strategies and how they are applied. He provided information with
respect to the incentive programs being developed and how they are awarded. He
explained these guidelines are used to evaluate site plan applications and plans of
subdivisions.
C. Rose explained the Staged Servicing and Implementation Strategy. She stated
some preliminary information had been received and explained the phasing of the
residential and employment lands as well as the hard and soft services. She
indicated that the Whitevale area is not to be serviced with sanitary sewers
according to the Durham Regional Official Plan. She noted the Strategy must be to
the satisfaction of the City and the Region.
A question and answer period ensued with Council posing numerous questions.
Staff in conjunction with the consultants provided clarification on many issues
including employment lands, densities, trails, recreational facilities, stormwater
ponds, sanitary sewers for the residents of Whitevale, percentage of greenspace,
bridge design, legal responsibilities with respect to possibly reverting to the old plans
and the landowners rights, timeframes for the implementation of phases and the
preservation of trees.

issues. The main areas of concern were noted as the Whitevale residents being given
the opportunity to hook up to sanitary sewers, ensure the western portion of the
Whitevale By-pass including the bridge over West Duffins Creek, be included in Phase
1, and to limit the buffer uses as those currently identified are not appropriate Also
discussed were the location of parks and schools with concerns being raised with
respect to the illumination of ball parks. Also questioned was the term "institutional" and
what this could include. It was noted the Region's main concerns are with population

Chair: Councillor McLean
John Beresford, architect for the project appeared before the Committee. Through
the aid of a power point presentation, he stated the need to take streets and
transform them to more liveable spaces, noting that the proposed townhouses will
encourage liveability and safety. He stated there would be provision for 208 parking
spaces, including both private and visitor parking. The townhouses would range in
size from 1,700 to 2,000 square feet and some would be equipped with elevators. He
also noted their compliance with sustainability guidelines.
Doug Martin, 1857 Glendale Drive appeared before the Committee stating his
concerns with the impact of increased traffic and noted that the 208 parking spots
being proposed was unrealistic. He felt that 250 - 300 parking spots would be a
more accurate estimate. He also noted his concerns with safety, stating that
congestion was already at capacity . He noted concerns with the configuration as the
development would be facing his backyard, reducing privacy as well as property
values. He noted this development would not fit in with the community and would like
to see a lower profile home, possibly semi detached. He indicated his willingness to
work with staff and residents to find a solution to these issues.
Jeremy Crawford, 1840 Glendale Drive, appeared before the Committee in
opposition to the application, noting his concerns with traffic. He stated people
currently park on the street creating safety concerns as well, making it dangerous for
children to cross the street. He questioned where the greenspace would be in the
proposed development. He also noted concerns with the height of the development
being three storeys and felt it was not sustainable. He indicated this would also bring
their property values down.
Jackie Gentle, 1859 Malden Crescent, appeared before the Committee reiterating
previous delegation concerns and noting her main issue was the traffic congestion,
stating it would be unreasonable to consider increased traffic in the area. She noted
this would impact the surrounding area as well, which would only increase the
problem.
Michael Lee, 1832 Bronte Square, appeared before the Committee noting concerns
with traffic both during and post construction. He noted that the traffic would be
diverted onto Bronte Square and questioned whether there would be traffic lights
installed.
D. Garland, 1310 Fieldlight Boulevard, appeared before the Committee in opposition
to the application, noting the entire concept should be sent back. She stated the
density is too high to fit in with the community, She stated that at least one storey
should be taken off as she felt it would tower over the existing homes. She indicated
3

Chair: Councillor McLean -
there is never enough visitor parking now and that owners would be using those
spots as well. She
also noted concerns with the freehold townhouses, as they would have no say in
what is done.
Shirley Vasey, 1841 Malden Crescent appeared before the Committee stating she
felt the drawings shown were not aesthetically appropriate for the area stating that it
should be matched up with the existing community.
Patrick Spears, 1847 Malden Crescent appeared before the Committee and stated
that most residents have 2 or 3 cars and get ticketed on the street now. He
questioned how many vehicles the driveways would accommodate. He also
questioned why there were survey stakes already in the ground if nothing had been
approved yet. He asked where the 208 parking spots would be, stating it would be
impossible to have this many.
Donna Bell, 1879 Hansell Court appeared before the Committee, stating she was in
agreement with all the issues noted already and stated that if nothing has been
approved yet, the signs should come down.
Lucille Dore, 1866 Glendale Drive, appeared before the Committee stating she has
experienced atrocious traffic issues first hand, witnessing many close calls. She
noted a huge increase in traffic after the opening of Tim Hortons. She indicated her
concerns with safety and noise issues. She is not opposed to development, but
within reason . The buildings are too high and she indicated that the resale value of
their properties has already been affected.
Becky Arseneau, 1945 Glendale Drive, appeared before the Committee and stated
she had witnessed traffic chaos on her way over here this evening on her electric
bike. She stated this development does not promote a sense of community. The
proposal of three storeys is not aesthetically pleasing, she felt reducing it to two
storeys would be an improvement.
Brian Miller, 1855 Glendale Drive appeared before the Committee stating his
concerns with safety and questioned what would be done with respect to snow
removal.
John Martin, 1862 Glendale Drive, appeared before Committee and noted he was
also speaking on behalf of his mother Beverly Martin. He stated their concerns with
traffic and the driveways. He questioned how they would get onto Highway 2. He
also stated that three storeys would not fit in with the neighbourhood.

Amanda Lavocque, 1791 Bronte Square, appeared before the Committee, speaking
on behalf of her neighbours Norma and Renee Guay as well. She noted they have
numerous concerns, with the main issue being the increased traffic as a result of the
development. She also noted concerns with the impact on the school system, noting
that most of the new residents purchasing townhomes would have young families.
She also stated the height and lot sizes do not fit with the existing neighbourhood.
Michael O'Leary, 1907 Bowler Drive, appeared before the Committee and questioned
what the developers were offering for parkland, garbage and snow removal . He
stated the traffic issue was the number one priority and staff should sit down with the
residents to address the issues. He was also in agreement that three storeys do not
fit in with the neighbourhood and felt that the number of homes going in should be cut
down.
John Service, 1821 Bronte Square, appeared before the Committee, stating he is co-
chair of the Vaughan Willard school board and noted that they would welcome more
students to the school. He questioned the number of townhouse units, visitor parking
and traffic issues.
Angela Wurster, 1871 Malden Crescent, appeared before the Committee, stating she
had moved there to raise her family but has concerns with the density, population
and loss of mature trees. She also stated the space and size of the houses do not fit
the neighbourhood.
Bill Waugh, 1816 Bronte Square, appeared before the Committee questioning the
cost of the townhouse units, whether they would be high or low end. He also noted
his concerns with parking and indicated the visitor parking was too far away which
would increase on street parking.
Mike Farrugia, 1904 Glendale Drive, appeared before the Committee stating his
concerns with the traffic issues in an already congested area. He questioned a
roundabout or possible third road at the end of Liverpool.
Norna Guay, 1793 Bronte Square appeared before the Committee with concerns
regarding noise, trash, traffic and decreased property values. She stated there has
been an increase in accidents since Tim Hortons opened, noting her concerns for the
safety of children in the area due to the increase in traffic volumes. She also
questioned the site lines for the bungalows on Glendale Drive.
Warren Davis, 1828 Bronte Square, appeared before the Committee stating that
higher densities create more problems.

concerns with traffic as walking across Glendale Drive is dangerous now. He also
noted his concerns with safety, height of the building, noise increase, loss of
greenspace and questioned where the parking would be as well as playgrounds.
Chris Gertzos, 1972 Glendale Drive, appeared before the Committee noting he had
purchased his home due to the lot size and greenspace. He noted the lack of
greenspace in this development and noted a decrease in property values due to this
development. He felt that fewer homes of a better quality would allow for a better fit
in the community, more trees and greenspace.
Alice Rooney, 1900 Liverpool Road, appeared before the Committee stating that the
traffic is unbelievable and questioned where the children would play. She noted
there were too many houses that looked like square boxes, which are not homes.
Carmen Stefanescu, 1924 Glendale Drive, appeared before the Committee stating
she was in agreement with all the concerns noted, stating the development is totally
inappropriate. She questioned whether there would be any allowance for
handicapped parking.
A question and answer period ensued with Committee members posing various
questions with staff providing clarification. Staff indicated they would be willing to
meet with the residents to further discuss the issues raised regarding this
development.
The applicant appeared and provided clarification with respect to the possible
extension of Liverpool, indicating that this would not be the case.

Re: School Boards' Declaration of Voting _Day as a Professional Activity Day
City Council considered the above matter at a meeting held on April 11, 2011 and adopted the
following recommendation of the Finance and Administration Committee:
"Whereas Ontario municipalities historically use schools as voting places during municipal
elections; and,
Whereas the Municipal Elections Act states that school boards must provide space to be
used as voting places free of any charge when requested for use by a municipality; and,
Whereas school boards are requesting municipalities provide security at schools being
used on Voting Day to ensure the safety of students throughout the entire school when
only a small portion of the school is being used as a voting place; and,
Whereas concerns regarding student safety at the school during voting hours can be
eliminated if the students are not in the school on Voting Day;
Therefore Oshawa City Council requests that the Minister of Education amend the
Education Act to declare Voting Day for municipal elections in the Province of Ontario as
a Professional Activity Day; and,
That this resolution be forwarded to all Ontario municipalities, local MPP's, the
Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks
and Treasurers of Ontario and all school boards in the City of Oshawa in accordance with
Report FA-11-81 dated March 24, 2011.,,

By the rake May 9, 2011
The following is a recommendation ratified by Council of the Town of Ajax at its regular Meeting
of Council held May 9, 2011
Invasive Asian Carp Species in Great Lakes
Moved by: C. Jordan
Seconded by: P. Brown
WHEREAS the transfer of invasive Asian Carp (an aquatic nuisance species) into the Great
Lakes poses a significant threat to the health and welfare of Canadians and Americans; and,
WHEREAS the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was authorized by U.S. Congress in 2007 to
prevent the movement of aquatics species between the Mississippi River Basin and the Great
Lakes Basin; and,
WHEREAS, according to a 2009 Risk Assessment conducted by the Canadian Department of
Fisheries and Oceans, the time has come to take decisive, co-ordinated actions to protect the
Great Lakes from reaching the avoidable, irreversible ecological "tipping point" that is anticipated
to result from an Asian Carp invasion; and,
WHEREAS a permanent, sustainable solution to the proliferation of Asian Carp in the Great
Lakes Basin requires re-establishing the hydrologic separation between the Mississippi River
Basin and the Great Lakes Basin in the Greater Chicago area, as confirmed in Resolution
8-2010M approved by the members of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative in
2010; and,
WHEREAS the complementary "Statement of Unity' respecting Asian Carp approved by the
members of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative in 2010 established a series of
short term (2010), mid term (2011-2012) and long term (2013 and beyond) actions; and,
WHEREAS the Statement of Unity did not anticipate the need for and appropriateness of
conducting public hearings regarding Asian Carp as an international pollutant under Section
310(a) of the Clean Water Act of the U.S.A. to allow citizens and stakeholders in U.S. and
Canadian Great Lakes communities who are concerned about the impact of an Asian Carp
invasion to provide comments directly to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and,
WHEREAS the above-noted Resolution and Statement of Unity were endorsed as an
expression of shared widespread concern about the threats that invasive Asian Carp would pose
to ecological conditions, habitat and recreational activities along Great Lakes and St. Lawrence
shorelines and tributaries, yet Canadian municipalities, stakeholders and citizens have not
been provided with the opportunity to express their concerns directly to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, as the U.S. Clean Water Act does not require that public hearings be conducted in
Canada or, more specifically, in Ontario and Quebec;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the comments and recommendations set out in the
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority report entitled "Great Lakes and Mississippi River
Interbasin Feasibility Study-Invasive Asian Carp Species", dated April 29, 2011, and the
comments of Great Lakes United to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), dated March
31, 2011, regarding the "Great Lakes and Mississippi Interbasin Feasibility Study" be endorsed;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the members of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Cities
Initiative, other stakeholders and the public be afforded an opportunity to convey their views
about the serious adverse impacts of Asian Carp, on recreational activities and commercial
fisheries, as identified by both the Ontario Government and Environment Canada and valued at
approximately $400 million CDN per year, and other potentially costly impacts, in a public
hearing conducted in Canada forthwith, and that USACE provide regular opportunities for
discussion about their progress in public forums, at least two times per year, in Canada;
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that this resolution be sent to the Board of Directors of the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence Cities Initiative requesting that said resolution be considered and approved
at the Annual General Meeting being held on June 16, 2011 in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
and then sent forthwith to the U.S. Department of State with a request that Foreign Affairs host a
public hearing in Canada where the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers team would be invited to hear
the comments of Canadian municipalities, other stakeholders and members of the public about
the impacts of invasive Asian Carp on shared international waters.

TO: Chair and Members of the Authority
Meeting #4/11, April 29, 2011
FROM: Deborah Martin-Downs, Director, Ecology
RE: GREAT LAKES AND MISSISSIPPI RIVER INTERBASIN FEASIBILITY STUDY
Invasive Asian Carp Species
KEY ISSUE
Support for comments sent by Great Lakes United to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the
Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Feasibility Study (GLMRIS) to prevent the spread
of the invasive Asian carp species between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River.
RECOMMENDATION
WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA) objectives for Healthy Rivers and
Shorelines and Regional Biodiversity are supported by fisheries management plans that
strongly recommend actions to prevent the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive
species;
AND WHEREAS the Asian carp are aquatic invasive species that pose a threat to the
biodiversity and nearshore habitat structure of Lake Ontario and potentially the lower
reaches of relatively large river systems within the TRCA jurisdiction, such as the Humber
and Rouge Rivers and Duffins Creek;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA endorse the comments contained in the
letter on the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Feasibility Study (GLMRIS),
dated March 31, 2011, sent by the Great Lakes United (GLU) to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers to prevent the spread of Asian carp between the Great Lakes and Mississippi;
AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Authority with progress on GLMRIS.
BACKGROUND
TRCA was approached by GLU, an international citizens coalition dedicated to protecting and
restoring the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Ecosystem, and asked to consider endorse their
comment letter as a means of helping to prevent the spread of Asian carp into the Great Lakes
and St. Lawrence River. The membership of GLU spans a diverse spectrum of interests,
organizations and individuals, including citizens, environmentalists, conservationists, labour
unions, First Nations, hunters, anglers, academics, and progressive business and industry.
GLU is very concerned about an Asian carp invasion to the international waters of the Great
Lakes and St. Lawrence River. One of the most significant opportunities to help stop the Asian
carp from spreading is the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Feasibility Study. This
study was authorized by U.S. Congress in 2007 mandating that the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (the Corps) determine how to prevent the two-way transfer of invasive fish species
through the Chicago area waterways, as well as all the hydrological connections between the
Great Lakes and Mississippi River watershed.
54
56
The Corps recently announced Chicago District's Notice of Intent to Prepare a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement; Initiate the Public Scoping Period; and host Public Scoping
Meetings for the GLMRIS. GLU submitted, in the form of a letter with support from various
groups (including TRCA), specific comments meant to improve the GLMRIS and ensure the
ecological and economic health of these waters and basins are protected from the impacts of
aquatic invasive species. The comments are summarized as:
• the need for the Corps to adhere to the U.S. Congressional authority to "prevent" the spread
of aquatic invasive species between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins and not
just "reduce the risk";
• accelerate the timeline for completion of the GLMRIS;
• prioritize the Chicago Area Waterway System portion of the GLMRIS;
• provide for public comment as the study proceeds; and
• conduct a public hearing in Canada.
RATIONALE
The term "Asian carp" refers to four different species of fish: Bighead, Black, Grass and Silver
Carp. The Bighead and Silver Carp are the species closest to invading the Great Lakes from
the Chicago area waterways. In 2005, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR)
introduced legislation making it illegal to posses, sell or import live Asian carp. A risk
assessment study undertaken by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) in 2009 concluded that
if Asian carp successfully colonized the Great Lakes there is a high probability they would
spread across the Great Lakes basin. The study stresses that such an invasion would have a
significant impact on the food web and trophic (community) structure of aquatic systems.
Furthermore, the Ontario government has stated that if Asian carp enters the Great Lakes there
will be serious adverse impacts on Ontario's recreational and commercial fisheries.
Environment Canada has made a similar assessment.
The various fisheries management plans (FMP) written for watersheds within the TRCA
jurisdiction all recognize that aquatic invasive species disrupt the balance of native aquatic
communities and are considered one of the most serious threats to biod'iversity. The most
recently completed FMP, the Rouge River Watershed Fisheries Management Plan (TRCA and
OMNR, 2010), recommends that priority emphasis should be placed on monitoring and
preventing the spread of invasive and exotic fish species. To date, the Asian carp species of
concern have not been collected by the TRCA regional or waterfront monitoring programs but
field crews are alerted to the risk and know to bring such species to the attention of our partner
agencies with mandates for fisheries management (i.e. OMNR and DFO).
The Toronto and Region Remedial Action Plan (RAP) has identified, as a first priority, the
protection of existing fish habitat with a focus on coastal wetlands and nearshore physical
habitat (e.g. reefs and spawning shoals). RAP states that protecting these existing habitats can
be through the firm and effective enforcement of policies and guidelines, which would include
legislation that speaks to preventing invasive species introductions. A secondary priority of
RAP is to rehabilitate waterfront areas where habitat potential is very high (e.g. Rouge Marshes
and Toronto Island wetlands), areas that are vulnerable to destruction should Asian carp enter
the system. Over the recent decades, significant funding has been provided through RAP for
extensive habitat rehabilitation along the Toronto waterfront with continued opportunities for
future work. In this context, failing to keep Asian carp out of Lake Ontario could be a major
setback to achieving RAP and TRCA priorities for fish habitat.

Mr. David Wethington
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
111 North Canal Street, 6th Floor
Chicago, IL 60606
Re: Notice of Intent to Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), Initiate the
Public Scoping Period and Host Public Scoping Meetings for the Great Lakes and
Mississippi River Interbasin Study (GLMRIS)
Dear Mr. Wethington,
Please accept these comments submitted on behalf of the following 108 organizations, as well as
our hundreds of thousands of members across the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence and Mississippi
River basins, in both the United States and Canada, regarding the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
59
(Corps), Chicago District's Notice of Intent to Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS), Initiate the Public Scoping Period and Host Public Scoping Meetings for the Great Lakes
and Mississippi River Interbasin Study (GLMRIS). We represent environmental, conservation,
fishing, boating, labour and religious groups with a shared interest in preventing the ecological
and economic harm caused by aquatic invasive species.
The undersigned organizations are extremely concerned about an Asian carp invasion to the
international waters of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River, as well as concerned about the
two-way transfer of aquatic invaders between the Mississippi and Great Lakes basins. We are
submitting specific recommendations to improve GLMRIS and ensure the ecologic and
economic health of these great basins is protected from damaging aquatic nuisance species.
Prevent Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Transfer
The GLMRIS study was authorized by the U.S. Congress in 2007 to "prevent" rather than
"reduce the risk" of aquatic nuisance species movement between the Great Lakes and
Mississippi River basin'. In other words, Congress requires the Corps to only be developing
solutions that are 100% effective and it is beyond the scope of the Corps' statutory authorization
for the GLMRIS study to look at any solutions that would not achieve prevention.
We believe the only permanent and sustainable solution to the Asian carp threat to the Great
Lakes, and the threat of future movement of invasives, is the hydrologic separation of the Great
Lakes and the Mississippi River basin because if water does not flow between the two
watersheds, water-based plants, animals and diseases will not be able to migrate actively or
passively. The Corps has inappropriately broadened GLMRIS to study "risk reduction" z which
is neither what Congress told them to do, nor a credible strategy to prevent ANS movement
through the Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS) or any of the other aquatic connections.
Short-term, emergency activities have already been authorized around the CAWS and in Eagle
Marsh, Indiana, and funded separately from GLMRIS. We support these emergency activities.
However, expanding the scope of GLMRIS to address risk reduction will divert resources from
determining how to achieve prevention as fast as possible.
Water Resources Development Act of 2007 ("2007 WRDA"), Pub. L. No. 110-114, § 3061(d) (2007)
says: (d) Feasibility Study- The Secretary, in consultation with appropriate Federal, State, local, and
nongovernmental entities, shall conduct, at Federal expense, a feasibility study of the range of options and
technologies available to prevent the spread of aquatic nuisance species between the Great Lakes and
Mississippi River Basins through the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and other aquatic pathways
z U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ("USAGE"), Project Management Plan: Great Lakes and Mississippi
River Basin Interbasin Feasibility Study 1 (2010), and U.S. Army Engineer Division, Great Lakes and
Ohio River ("CELRD"), USAGE, Memorandum for Record ¶ 2, dated December 15, 2010, available at:
littp://glinris and k;ovidocutnentsldocs/'GLMRIS prevent whi.tepaper.pdf
60
Produce Results Before 2015
The GLMRIS study takes too long. The Chicago portion of the study is not predicted to be
complete until mid-2015, over four years from now. Corps staff indicated in at least one public
meeting that this official timeline is optimistic and the actual end date is likely to be even later.
The Corps should acknowledge the urgency of finding a permanent solution, narrow the scope of
investigation to hydrological separation, condense the timeline and produce final results for the
Chicago portion of GLMRIS within 18 months rather than mid-2015.
Further, additional study requirements in GLMRIS, such as a review of all invasive species that
could move between the two basins, should not extend the study timeline and should not
influence the mandate to "prevent" aquatic invasive species movement between the two basins.
Prioritize Solutions for the Chicago Area
The obvious and critical threat of Asian carp establishing in the Great Lakes is a reason for
urgent action. The Corps should study and provide a solution for the CAWS as the first priority,
and where needed, act on other aquatic pathways, based on the greatest likelihood of invasion. If
necessary, the Corps should consider a phased approach to separating the two watersheds,
prioritizing measures to prevent Asian carp migration while still taking steps that will lead to
permanent prevention of all movement of aquatic nuisance species in both directions.
Integrate Relevant Research into GLMRIS
In order to accelerate the time frame of the study and save resources, the Corps should not
duplicate relevant work thai has already been done or is currently being performed. The Corps
should integrate the scientific results from the binational risk assessment of Asian carp being
facilitated by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, and the identification of hydrological
separation options being developed by the Great Lakes Commission and the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence Cities Initiative into GLMRIS, after an independent critical review.
Provide for Public Review and Input
The Corps should create an opportunity for regular discussion forums during which the public
can interact with technical staff and consultants for detailed questions and answers on the
progress of GLMRIS. We recommend forums held at least two times a year, in addition to the
requirements of the NEPA process.
Request Hearing in Canada
An Asian carp invasion to the Great Lakes is not just a threat to Americans; it presents a serious
threat to the health and welfare of Canadians. Approximately 40 percent of the shoreline of the
Great Lakes and 36 percent of their waters lie within the boundaries of Ontario, Canada. The
majority of the St. Lawrence River basin is in Quebec, Canada. A risk assessment study
conducted by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans concluded that if Asian carp
successfully colonize the Great Lakes there is a high probability they would spread across the
61
Great Lakes basin and possibly even through the prairie provinces.3 The study stresses that such
an invasion would have a significant impact on the food web and trophic structure of aquatic
systems., Furthermore, the Ontario government has stated that if Asian carp enters the Great
Lakes there will be serious adverse impacts on Ontario's recreational and commercial fisheries,
which are valued at approximately CAD$400 million per year.4 Environment Canada has made a
similar assessment.5
In 2010 four not-for profit organizations in Canada requested the U. S. Secretary of State to
formally request a public hearing in Canada regarding Asian carp as an international pollution
threat, under section 310(a) of the Clean Water Act.6 A response to this petition was never
received. The Department of State should request that Foreign Affairs host a public meeting in
Canada where the Corps study team would be invited to hear comments from stakeholders in
Canada who are concerned with the impact of an Asian carp invasion to shared international
waters.
In summary, our organizations strongly encourage the Corps to adhere to the Congressional
authority to "prevent" the spread of aquatic nuisance species between the Great Lakes and
Mississippi River basins and not "reduce the risk"; accelerate the timeline for completion of
GLMRIS; prioritize the CAWS portion of GLMRIS; provide for public comment as the study
proceeds; and request a hearing in Canada.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment, and for seriously engaging in this study, which is
critical to the health of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River and Mississippi River basins in both
the United States and Canada. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact

Subject: Request for Road Dedication By-law
William Jackson Drive, Pickering
File: Roadded.526
On September 17, 2007, Council passed Resolution 17/07 authorizing staff to initiate the process
of changing the name of (Old) Taunton Road east of Brock Road to William Jackson Drive. The
process included contacting the owners fronting (Old) Taunton Road to advise them of the City's
intent to change the street name and to seek their comments. All owners indicated that they had
no objection to the name change.
On April 20, 2009, Council enacted By-law 6940/09 authorizing the renaming of (Old) Taunton
Road to William Jackson Drive, however the by-law could not be registered (formally effecting the
name change) until such time as the City acquired the most easterly section of (Old) Taunton
Road (Parts 1 to 5, Plan 40R-15548) which lands were still in the ownership of ORC.
On March 29, 2011 the City acquired Parts 1 to 5, Plan 40R-15548, and on April 14, 2011, the
name change by-law was registered as Instrument DR983442.
As the name change by-law has now been registered, it is now appropriate to formally dedicate
William Jackson Drive as a public highway within the City of Pickering.
Attached are a location map and a draft by-law for the consideration of City Council at its meeting
scheduled for May 16, 2011.

Short reports from attending Committee members were
provided:

M. Sawchuck reviewed the background of the letter and stated
that identification of the seven properties would be helpful. I.
James has such descriptors for Committee's review. The City
must do entire purchase, removal, etc. at own cost in order to
preserve any of these properties. I. James reported that 9 of
the listed properties are on the City's Heritage Register. J.
Sabean and J. Zimmerman had been hired to provide a
consultants review of those 9 properties and it was concluded
that 1 house was not of heritage significance, 1 house was too
deteriorated to salvage, and the remaining 7 houses were felt
to have heritage merit and worth salvaging. This information
was written back to Transport Canada and it was their
response in this letter that the City must take full responsibility
in order to protect them. Discussion ensued.
Is. James suggested a recommendation to Council to obtain
approval to view and photograph the 9 properties for the
Heritage Registry. This work could be completed by a staff
member and P. Rodrigues.
