Groundwater Modelling of the Oak Ridges Moraine Area
The Project and its Partners
The groundwater modelling project is a collaboration of three separate modelling projects
being the Conservation Authorities Moraine Coalition regional project, the Toronto
Region Conservation Authorities district specific project, and York Region's area specific
Yonge Street Aquifer Study. These projects were merged in 2001, and the overall project
was renamed the York Peel Durham Toronto / Conservations Authorities Moraine
Coalition (YPDT/CAMC) project.
The project involved the compilation and analysis of geological and hydrogeological data
and the creation of a computer model of the groundwater and surface water flow systems.
The project team included top hydrogeologists and field experts who compiled significant
sources of information resulting in increased understanding of the Oak Ridges Moraine.
The participating partners include
the 4 regional areas of York, Peel,
Durham and Toronto, the 9 related
Conservation Authorities, as well
as support from the Ministry of
Natural Resources, Canadian
Geological Survey, Ministry of
Northern Development and Mines and the Ministry of the Environment.
Yrc'e. �� p
Yarrl,Cki ion

COUNCIL - JUNE 13, 2006
The model was created in two phases; the first phase was the Core Model which includes
all of York Region and Toronto, and parts
of Peel and Durham within the related
watersheds. The second phase is the
Regional Model which includes all of the
Moraine watershed areas. The Core Model
was completed first and is more detailed
than the Regional Model, which continues to be developed.
Key Outcomes
Three significant technical produces have resulted from this project. The first is a
comprehensive database of available soils and water level information
collected from a multitude of sources. This database includes 600,000
geological descriptions, 1.8 million water well records, 140,000 borehole
records as well as climate and stream flow data.
The second product is the construction of the geological structure based
on the information database. This produce is the skeleton of the model
which defines how water might move through the various layers of the
moraine. This project identifies the various confining layers and aquifer
layers that make up the moraine.
The third technical product is the numerical flow model which predicts how water
actually flows through the various layers of the moraine as defined by the geological
D-13
COUNCIL - JUNE 13, 2006
structure. This component is used to predict effects of various groundwater scenarios and
how they may influence the aquifer.
This report is a foundational document for the Oak Ridges Moraine based on over 50
years of research and investigation. It is not the end of research however, but rather a
building block for future collaboration and increased understanding of the moraine. One
of the key outcomes of this work is reconfirmation of how the historical geophysical
events and geological process occurred and how they have resulted in the creation of
three main aquifer layers within the moraine.
Applications and Benefits
This project has created a useful planning tool for groundwater management and risk
assessment. The model can predict groundwater movement and allows for the
identification of large impacts on the aquifers. The tool can be used to predict
groundwater impacts, support Permit to Take Water Applications, find new water
sources, and evaluate existing well fields.
The model, like any other modelling tool, does have limitations and is useful to the extent
that it can predict future situations based on information available today. Its main benefit
is in predicting areas that me be of concern so that focused groundwater monitoring can
be established in those areas.
Future Direction
Once created, a model requires continuous refining based on availability of new
information andimproved understanding of how the system functions. This work will
continue with the existing partnership.
X(Il''�C'IRt°gXOM
D-14
COUNCIL — JUNE 13, 2006
York Region has had opportunity to apply this tool on various projects in the Region and
the other partners are also making extensive use of this tool. Continued and varied use
will only result in improved model calibration and geological understanding to the benefit
of all the partners and stakeholders in the moraine watersheds.
Further information is available from the YPDT website at www.ypdt-camc.ca.

are many such districts in Ontario with varying historical significance and
representing many styles of architecture and streetscapes, emphasizing that
no two districts are the same and each is distinct and has its own guidelines
and plan. Ms Fleck advised that the most successful of the existing Heritage
Districts are the ones which are neighbourhood driven, established from the
support and involvement of residents in the communities they represent. Ms.
Fleck advised that much of the success of this project is due to the
involvement of the many residents who volunteered their time and efforts to
help make this project happen for which she thanked them.

GENERAL COMMITTEE REPORT No. PL06-067
SUBJECT: Extension to Draft Plan Approval
Prato Estates Limited. (formerly 781933 Ontario Limited)
Part of Lot 22, Concession 2, E.Y.S.
File: D12-00-7A
FROM: Susan Seibert, Director of Planning and Development Services
DATE: June 6, 2006
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT Council advise the Ontario Municipal Board that it has no objection to the
extension of draft plan approval of Plan of Subdivision File: D12-00-7A (Prato
Estates Limited.) which was approved by Board Order 1267 on August 3, 2001, as
amended by Board Order 0892 dated July 3, 2002 (OMB File: PLO10149).
BACKGROUND
Location/Land Use:
The subject lands are located on the east side of Bayview Avenue, approximately 300 m
(1000 ft) north of Wellington St. The draft approved lands are situated directly east of
Plans 65M-3658 and 65M-3659 which were registered as Phase I of the Prato Estates Inc.
development. A location map showing the draft approved area is attached as Figure 1 to
this staff report.
Application Background:
The subject lands are within the Bayview Northeast Area 213 Secondary Plan and is one of
the four major subdivisions within the 2B neighbourhood.
In 2000 Prato Estates Limited filed an appeal with the OMB to consider its applications for
draft plan of subdivision and zoning by-law amendment. A Decision was delivered in July,
2001 and the OMB issued an Order dated August 3, 2001, which had the effect of
approving the redlined draft plan of subdivision, (save and except Blocks 517 and 518),
establishing the conditions of draft plan approval, and implementing Zoning By-law 4294-
01.D. A subdivision agreement was subsequently approved for Phases I and II of the plan
of subdivision and these plans were registered on April 29, 2003 as Plans 65M-3658 and
65M-3659 allowing the development of 350 lots.
—12—
COUNCIL — JUNE 13, 2006
June 6, 2006 - 2 - Report No. PL06-067
The Board Order provides that the draft plan will lapse at the expiry of five years from the
issuance of the Order (August 3, 2006) and as such the applicant has applied to the Board
for an extension to draft plan approval.
The subject draft plan of subdivision conforms to the provisions of the Official Plan and is
appropriately zoned within a holding (H) category which will be lifted following execution of
the subdivision agreement by the owner.
Proposal:
The planning firm representing Prato Estates Limited has applied to the Ontario Municipal
Board to extend draft plan approval for the unregistered portion of original draft approved
plan subdivision for a period of three (3) years. The entire Prato Estates Inc. plan of
subdivision includes the following number of lots:

COMMENTS
The Prato Estates Limited plan of subdivision proposes a total of 582 units including 477
single detached, 34 semi-detached and 64 townhouse units on a variety of lot sizes; a
block fora public elementary school site; a block fora neighbourhood park; two stormwater
management facility blocks; and a future residential development block.
In March 2006 Council allocated servicing capacity to the development lands within the
Town including the subject draft plan. The owner has notified the Town that it will be
proceeding to fulfill the outstanding conditions of draft plan approval in order to complete
the subdivision agreement and register the remaining lots within the Plan.
The registered, draft approved and OMB deferred areas of the draft plan are illustrated on
Figure 1.
Staff are of the opinion that the an extension to draft plan approval of the subject plan is
acceptable as it will allow the owner to proceed with the submission of fees and plans for
the processing of the subdivision agreement and registration of the plan of subdivision.
Staff recommend that the OMB be advised that the Town has no objection to extending
draft plan approval of the subject plan.
OPTIONS
—13—
COUNCIL — JUNE 13, 2006
June 6, 2006 -3- Report No. PL06-067
Council has the option of consenting to the extension of draft plan approval which will allow
the continued processing of the plan of subdivision, or Council can require that staff
provide additional information or clarification should it be required.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
n/a
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The Strategic Plan contains objectives to ensure high quality, comprehensive community
planning to protect the overall investment of citizens in the community. The subject
applications will facilitate this objective through the implementation of the residential
development.
CONCLUSIONS
The Prato proposed plan of subdivision was draft approved by an OMB Order dated
August 3, 2001. The draft approval is scheduled to expire five years from the Order date.
Phase 1 and 2 of the development was registered as Plans 65M-6358 and 65M-6359 in
April 2003. Servicing allocation has now been approved by Council allowing the
processing of the remaining phase of development. An extension to draft approval will be
necessary and staff recommend that the OMB be advised that the Town has no objection
to a three year extension to draft approval.

Ut6 TOWN OF AURORA
GENERAL COMMITTEE REPORT
No. PW06-028
SUBJECT: Approval to Execute a Preservicing Agreement— Phase 2 and 3
Preserve Homes Residential Subdivision (D12-01-5A)
FROM: W. H. Jackson, Director of Public Works
DATE: June 6, 2006
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to execute an agreement between
the Town of Aurora and Preserve Homes Corporation to permit the servicing of
the Phase 2 and 3 lands in Preserves Residential Subdivision (D12-01-5A) subject
to the following conditions:
(a) Issuance of the necessary Certificates of Approval from the Ministry of Energy
and Environment and Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority for all the
underground services;
(b) Signing of the engineering plans for the construction of the municipal
services;
(c) Receipt of proof of insurance indemnifying the Town in the amount of
$10,000,000; and
(d) Receipt of engineering fees and securities in accordance with the standard
procedures for subdivision developments in the amounts specified.
BACKGROUND
The owner of the subject lands (see Appendix "A") has applied to the Director of Public
Works for a Preservicing Agreement (see Appendix "B") so that construction of
municipal services for this subdivision can proceed. All underground servicing plans
and specifications have been reviewed and are generally acceptable to the Director of
Public Works. A few minor issues remain to be resolved with regard to the engineering
plans, and these are expected to be finalized shortly.
In addition, all matters respecting the services are generally complete except the
provision of fees and securities, and proof of insurance indemnifying the Town in the
amount of $10,000;000.
I"
COUNCIL — JUNE 13, 2006
June 6, 2006 - 2 - Report No. PW06-028
It is anticipated that the Developer will be entering into a Subdivision Agreement as
soon as possible to allow for the timely issuance of building permits (early 2007) for lots
within the lands. This will allow the commencement of house construction and the
occupancy of homes in the near future.
COMMENTS
It has been the practice of the Town to allow servicing to proceed in other subdivision
developments in this manner and it is suggested that it is appropriate to do so in this
case for the Phase 2 and 3 lands. It is understood that all arrangements have been
made by the current owner of this land to complete all works satisfactorily to permit the
timely completion of development of this area.
Appropriate securities (50%) will be provided at this time in accordance with current
Town preservicing practices.
It is noted that the Developer has recently submitted plans to other departments for
review and comment. As part of the Preservicing Agreement, the Developer
acknowledges that the servicing of the development will be done at his own risk, and
that there are no guarantees that the plans will not have to be changed as part of the
review and approval of the development by other Town departments.
OPTIONS
Council may decide to not grant approval at this time, and wait until the Subdivision
Agreement is completely executed.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Town engineering fees in the amount of 4% of the total servicing costs will be received
from the Developer.
The development will be assumed by the Town at some point in the future. Normal
operational and maintenance costs will be incurred after that time.
CONCLUSIONS
The reason for Preservicing Agreements is to allow Developers to get a head start on
the construction of services within their projects during favourable weather conditions.
The Developers must still fulfil their mandates as required by the Subdivision
Agreement that includes the provision of servicing securities in an amount of 50% of the
estimated costs.

GENERAL COMMITTEE REPORT No. PL06-063
SUBJECT: Extension to Draft Plan Approval
St. John's Road Development Corp.
Part of Lots 24 and 25, Concession 2, E.Y.S.
East side of Bayview Avenue
File: D12-00-1A
FROM: Susan Seibert, Director of Planning and Development Services
DATE: June 6, 2006
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT Council advise the Ontario Municipal Borad that it has no objection to the
extension of draft plan approval of Plan of Subdivision File: D12-004A (St. John's
Road Development Corp.) which was approved by Board Order 1266 on August 3,
2001 (OMB File: PL000902).
BACKGROUND
Location/Land Use:
The subject lands are located on the east side of Bayview Avenue, approximately 300
metres (1000 ft.) south of the intersection with St. John's Sideroad. The draft approved
lands are situated north and east of Plan 65M-3677 which was registered as Phase I of the
St. John's Road Development. A location map showing the draft approved area is attached
as Figure 1 to this staff report.
Application Background:
The subject lands are within the Bayview Northeast Area 2B Secondary Plan and is one of
the four major subdivisions within the 2B neighbourhood.
In 2000 St. John's Road Development Corp. filed an appeal with the OMB to consider its
applications for draft plan of subdivision and zoning by-law amendment. A Decision was
delivered in July, 2001 and the OMB issued an Order dated August 3, 2001, which had the
effect of approving the redlined draft plan of subdivision, (save and except Blocks 517 and
518), establishing the conditions of draft plan approval, and implementing Zoning By-law
4293-01.D. A subdivision agreement was subsequently approved for Phase I of the plan of
subdivision and that plan was registered on June 3, 2003 as Plan 65M-3677 allowing the
—33—
COUNCIL — JUNE 13, 2006
June 6, 2006 - 2 - Report No. PL06-063
development of 242 lots.
The Board Order provides that the draft plan will lapse at the expiry of five years from the
issuance of the Order (August 3, 2006) and as such the applicant has applied to the Board
for an extension to draft plan approval.
The subject draft plan of subdivision conforms to the provisions of the Official Plan and is
appropriately zoned within a holding (H) category which will be lifted following execution of
the subdivision agreement by the owner.
Proposal:
The solicitor representing St. John's Road Development Corp. has applied to the Ontario
Municipal Board to extend draft plan approval for the unregistered portion of original draft
approved plan subdivision for a period of three (3) years. The entire St. John's
Development Corp. plan of subdivision includes the following number of lots:

Phase II, Draft Approved

Phase II, OMB deferred

Total

1466
The St. John's Road Development Corp. plan of subdivision proposes a total of 650 units
including 342 single detached and 308 semi-detached units on a variety of lot sizes; a
block for a public elementary school site; a block for a neighbourhood park; two stormwater
management facility blocks; and a block for a future road extension. The wetland/valley
blocks were conveyed to the Town a part of Phase I development.
In March 2006 Council allocated servicing capacity to the remaining lands within the Town
including the subject draft plan. The owner has notified the Town that it will be proceeding
to fulfill the outstanding conditions of draft plan approval in order to complete the
subdivision agreement and register the remaining lots within the Plan.
The registered, draft approved and OMB deferred areas of the draft plan are illustrated on
Figure 1.
Staff are of the opinion that the an extension to draft plan approval of the subject plan is
acceptable as it will allow the owner to proceed with the submission of fees and plans for
the processing of the subdivision agreement and registration of the plan of subdivision.
Staff recommend that the OMB be advised that the Town has no objection to extending
draft plan approval of the subject plan.
—34—
COUNCIL — JUNE 13, 2006
June 6, 2006 -3- Report No. PL06-063
OPTIONS
Council has the option of consenting to the extension of draft plan approval which will allow
the continued processing of the plan of subdivision, or Council can require that staff
provide additional information or clarification should it be required.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
n/a
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The Strategic Plan contains objectives to ensure high quality, comprehensive community
planning to protect the overall investment of citizens in the community. The subject
applications will facilitate this objective through the implementation of the residential
development.
CONCLUSIONS
The St. John's Road Development Corp. proposed plan of subdivision was draft approved
by an OMB Order dated August 3, 2001. The draft approval is scheduled to expire five
years from the Order date. Phase 1 of the development was registered as Plan 65M-3677
in June 2003. Servicing allocation has now been approved by Council allowing the
processing of the remaining phase of development. An extension to draft approval will be
necessary and staff recommend that the OMB be advised that the Town has no objection
to a three year extension to draft plan approval.
