Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

IssuesAnalysis

Governance is important and endorsing such demonstrates the NVCArsquos willingness to provide accountability and transparency in the process of sharing information with the public

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

Page 71 of 99

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA

2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018

election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108

tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th

2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos

2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th

2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act

2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments

KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS

Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of

CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 72 of 99

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 73 of 99

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act

Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations

MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY

What does Mandatory mean

Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to

bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource

Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring

What does Non-Mandatory mean

Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO

Agreements)

bull Other Programs and Services

Current Levy Structure

bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy

portion of the budget

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 74 of 99

bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment

bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy

New Levy Structure

bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy

amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA

or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy

Working Together for Watershed Management

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities

ADVISORY BOARDS

Government prescribed terms

bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

CA Board to develop TOR

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 75 of 99

bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures

CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS

Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation

IssuesAnalysis

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues

When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs

How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands

How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including

There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management

Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 76 of 99

Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate

This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed

Impact on Authority Finances

There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include

bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg

accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance

bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair

bull Property taxes

A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks

over residential development on

golf course

May 17 2021 by Ian Adams

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach will try to reach a

settlement agreement with the owners

of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as

it prepares for a land planning tribunal

hearing over a residential

development proposal

Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee

agreed to a recommendation that

authorized staff to try and reach a

settlement with TPC at Marlwood on

its proposal to build 60 residential

units in two blocks overlooking the

course

One block on the first fairway would

be nine units The second block

coming off Masters Lane is 51 units

and would front onto the 17th fairway

The original submission for 65 units

was filed in 2017 It was revised in

2020 to what is currently proposed

Marlwood had filed an appeal to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in

January after the town failed to

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

(Editors note Article corrected on

May 18 to indicate the nine unit block

would be along the first fairway an

original version stated the fifth

fairway Simcoecom apologizes for

any confusion caused)

NVCA reviews new proposal for

changes to Conservation

Authorities Act

May 20 2021

Alliston Herald

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) is currently

reviewing the Regulatory Proposal

Consultation Guide the first of two

phases in finalizing the changes to the

Conservation Authorities Act

Part of the guide details the

mandatory and non-mandatory

programs and services conservation

authorities will implement along with

the timelines to establish service

agreements with municipalities

Under the proposed regulations guide

NVCA will be able to continue

integrated watershed management

work such as protecting and

enhancing water quality and quantity

identifying flood and erosion risks and

managing stormwater systems This

process helps NVCA manage human

activities and natural resources on a

watershed basis while taking into

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Collingwood Today

Shawn GibsonBarrieToday

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

Page 38 of 99

Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

IssuesAnalysis

Governance is important and endorsing such demonstrates the NVCArsquos willingness to provide accountability and transparency in the process of sharing information with the public

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

Page 71 of 99

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA

2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018

election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108

tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th

2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos

2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th

2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act

2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments

KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS

Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of

CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 72 of 99

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 73 of 99

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act

Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations

MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY

What does Mandatory mean

Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to

bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource

Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring

What does Non-Mandatory mean

Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO

Agreements)

bull Other Programs and Services

Current Levy Structure

bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy

portion of the budget

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 74 of 99

bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment

bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy

New Levy Structure

bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy

amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA

or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy

Working Together for Watershed Management

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities

ADVISORY BOARDS

Government prescribed terms

bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

jurisdiction bull Must seek out a variety of members including youth and indigenous

representation Appointment process of members by public notification and application

bull A minimum of one authority Member (and an Alternate) to be appointed bull Maximum authority representation is 15 bull CA must provide administrative support bull Meetings open to the public

CA Board to develop TOR

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 75 of 99

bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures

CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS

Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation

IssuesAnalysis

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues

When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs

How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands

How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including

There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management

Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 76 of 99

Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate

This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed

Impact on Authority Finances

There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include

bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg

accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance

bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair

bull Property taxes

A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks

over residential development on

golf course

May 17 2021 by Ian Adams

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach will try to reach a

settlement agreement with the owners

of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as

it prepares for a land planning tribunal

hearing over a residential

development proposal

Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee

agreed to a recommendation that

authorized staff to try and reach a

settlement with TPC at Marlwood on

its proposal to build 60 residential

units in two blocks overlooking the

course

One block on the first fairway would

be nine units The second block

coming off Masters Lane is 51 units

and would front onto the 17th fairway

The original submission for 65 units

was filed in 2017 It was revised in

2020 to what is currently proposed

Marlwood had filed an appeal to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in

January after the town failed to

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

(Editors note Article corrected on

May 18 to indicate the nine unit block

would be along the first fairway an

original version stated the fifth

fairway Simcoecom apologizes for

any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Collingwood Today

Shawn GibsonBarrieToday

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

NOTTAWASAGA VALLEY

CONSERVATION AUTHORITY

UTOPIA ndash Residents in the

Nottawasaga Valley watershed are

encouraged to comment on the

proposed changes to the Conservation

Authorities Act to help ensure there is

adequate funding for important

services that the Nottawasaga Valley

Conservation Authority (NVCA)

provides

The Ontario government released the

changes on the Environmental

Registry of Ontario As part of the

public consultation process members

of the public can comment on these

changes on the before June 27 2021

The proposed changes lists the

services that are core and non-core

Municipalities would be mandated to

provide funds for core services such

as flood management permitting and

planning services However

municipalities can opt-out of non-core

services including maintaining hiking

trails environmental restoration on

private land providing education

programs planting forests and most

components for stream groundwater

and wetland monitoring

ldquoOur natural resources provide

numerous ecosystem services to those

who live work and play in the

watershedrdquo commented Doug

Hevenor CAO of NVCA ldquoMaintaining

and enhancing these natural resources

requires an integrated approach By

dividing our services into core and

non-core we may have to make the

difficult choice to eliminate or reduce

programs from the integrated process

Page 97 of 99

This makes it much more difficult to

ensure naturersquos ecosystem services

are in place and are resilient to

climate change and the impacts of

urban growthrdquo

Residents are encouraged to submit

comments about their experiences

with NVCArsquos noncore programs and to

ask the Minister to reconsider dividing

programs into core and noncore

Examples include experiences in

NVCArsquos conservation areas working

with the stewardship team to restore

stream and river banks as well as

childrenrsquos experiences at the Tiffin

Centre for Conservation

ldquoCurrently NVCA receives 50 of our

funding from our municipal partnersrdquo

continued Hevenor ldquoUnder the new

legislation funding for non-core work

NEWS RELEASE

NOTTAWASAGA VALLEY

CONSERVATION AUTHORITY

UTOPIA ndash Residents in the

Nottawasaga Valley watershed are

encouraged to comment on the

proposed changes to the Conservation

Authorities Act to help ensure there is

adequate funding for important

services that the Nottawasaga Valley

Conservation Authority (NVCA)

provides

The Ontario government released the

changes on the Environmental

Registry of Ontario As part of the

public consultation process members

of the public can comment on these

changes on the before June 27 2021

The proposed changes lists the

services that are core and non-core

Municipalities would be mandated to

provide funds for core services such

as flood management permitting and

planning services However

municipalities can opt-out of non-core

services including maintaining hiking

trails environmental restoration on

private land providing education

programs planting forests and most

components for stream groundwater

and wetland monitoring

ldquoOur natural resources provide

numerous ecosystem services to those

who live work and play in the

watershedrdquo commented Doug

Hevenor CAO of NVCA ldquoMaintaining

and enhancing these natural resources

requires an integrated approach By

dividing our services into core and

non-core we may have to make the

difficult choice to eliminate or reduce

programs from the integrated process

Page 99 of 99

This makes it much more difficult to

ensure naturersquos ecosystem services

are in place and are resilient to

climate change and the impacts of

urban growthrdquo

Residents are encouraged to submit

comments about their experiences

with NVCArsquos noncore programs and to

ask the Minister to reconsider dividing

programs into core and noncore

Examples include experiences in

NVCArsquos conservation areas working

with the stewardship team to restore

stream and river banks as well as

childrenrsquos experiences at the Tiffin

Centre for Conservation

ldquoCurrently NVCA receives 50 of our

funding from our municipal partnersrdquo

continued Hevenor ldquoUnder the new

legislation funding for non-core work

could be drastically reduced from

current levels This funding is vital for

maintaining our conservation

areasand allows our education staff to

develop programs Our talented

stewardship staff raises four times as

much funds to restore our streams

and rivers to improve water quality

maintain tourism and provide habitat

in all of our partner municipalitiesrdquo

Page 38 of 99

Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

IssuesAnalysis

Governance is important and endorsing such demonstrates the NVCArsquos willingness to provide accountability and transparency in the process of sharing information with the public

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

Page 71 of 99

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA

2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018

election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108

tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th

2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos

2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th

2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act

2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments

KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS

Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of

CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 72 of 99

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 73 of 99

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS

Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation

IssuesAnalysis

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues

When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs

How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands

How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including

There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management

Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards

Page 76 of 99

Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate

This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed

Impact on Authority Finances

There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include

bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg

accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance

bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair

bull Property taxes

A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks

over residential development on

golf course

May 17 2021 by Ian Adams

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach will try to reach a

settlement agreement with the owners

of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as

it prepares for a land planning tribunal

hearing over a residential

development proposal

Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee

agreed to a recommendation that

authorized staff to try and reach a

settlement with TPC at Marlwood on

its proposal to build 60 residential

units in two blocks overlooking the

course

One block on the first fairway would

be nine units The second block

coming off Masters Lane is 51 units

and would front onto the 17th fairway

The original submission for 65 units

was filed in 2017 It was revised in

2020 to what is currently proposed

Marlwood had filed an appeal to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in

January after the town failed to

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

(Editors note Article corrected on

May 18 to indicate the nine unit block

would be along the first fairway an

original version stated the fifth

fairway Simcoecom apologizes for

any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Collingwood Today

Shawn GibsonBarrieToday

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

Page 38 of 99

Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

Page 71 of 99

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA

2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018

election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108

tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th

2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos

2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th

2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act

2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments

KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS

Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of

CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 72 of 99

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 73 of 99

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations

bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource

Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring

What does Non-Mandatory mean

bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy

New Levy Structure

bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy

Working Together for Watershed Management

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues

When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs

How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands

How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including

There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management

Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards

Page 76 of 99

Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate

This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed

Impact on Authority Finances

There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include

bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg

accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance

bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair

Wasaga tees up settlement talks

over residential development on

golf course

May 17 2021 by Ian Adams

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach will try to reach a

settlement agreement with the owners

of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as

it prepares for a land planning tribunal

hearing over a residential

development proposal

Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee

agreed to a recommendation that

authorized staff to try and reach a

settlement with TPC at Marlwood on

its proposal to build 60 residential

units in two blocks overlooking the

course

One block on the first fairway would

be nine units The second block

coming off Masters Lane is 51 units

and would front onto the 17th fairway

The original submission for 65 units

was filed in 2017 It was revised in

2020 to what is currently proposed

Marlwood had filed an appeal to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in

January after the town failed to

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

(Editors note Article corrected on

May 18 to indicate the nine unit block

would be along the first fairway an

original version stated the fifth

fairway Simcoecom apologizes for

any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Collingwood Today

Shawn GibsonBarrieToday

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

Page 38 of 99

Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

IssuesAnalysis

Governance is important and endorsing such demonstrates the NVCArsquos willingness to provide accountability and transparency in the process of sharing information with the public

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

Page 71 of 99

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA

2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018

election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108

tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th

2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos

2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th

2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act

2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments

KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS

Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of

CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 72 of 99

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 73 of 99

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act

Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations

MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY

What does Mandatory mean

Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to

bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource

Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring

What does Non-Mandatory mean

Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO

Agreements)

bull Other Programs and Services

Current Levy Structure

bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy

portion of the budget

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 74 of 99

bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment

bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy

New Levy Structure

bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy

amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA

or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy

Working Together for Watershed Management

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities

ADVISORY BOARDS

Government prescribed terms

bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

jurisdiction bull Must seek out a variety of members including youth and indigenous

representation Appointment process of members by public notification and application

bull A minimum of one authority Member (and an Alternate) to be appointed bull Maximum authority representation is 15 bull CA must provide administrative support bull Meetings open to the public

CA Board to develop TOR

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 75 of 99

bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures

CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS

Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation

IssuesAnalysis

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues

When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs

How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands

How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including

There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management

Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 76 of 99

Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate

This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed

Impact on Authority Finances

There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include

bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg

accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance

bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair

bull Property taxes

A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks

over residential development on

golf course

May 17 2021 by Ian Adams

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach will try to reach a

settlement agreement with the owners

of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as

it prepares for a land planning tribunal

hearing over a residential

development proposal

Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee

agreed to a recommendation that

authorized staff to try and reach a

settlement with TPC at Marlwood on

its proposal to build 60 residential

units in two blocks overlooking the

course

One block on the first fairway would

be nine units The second block

coming off Masters Lane is 51 units

and would front onto the 17th fairway

The original submission for 65 units

was filed in 2017 It was revised in

2020 to what is currently proposed

Marlwood had filed an appeal to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in

January after the town failed to

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

(Editors note Article corrected on

May 18 to indicate the nine unit block

would be along the first fairway an

original version stated the fifth

fairway Simcoecom apologizes for

any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Collingwood Today

Shawn GibsonBarrieToday

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

NOTTAWASAGA VALLEY

CONSERVATION AUTHORITY

UTOPIA ndash Residents in the

Nottawasaga Valley watershed are

encouraged to comment on the

proposed changes to the Conservation

Authorities Act to help ensure there is

adequate funding for important

services that the Nottawasaga Valley

Conservation Authority (NVCA)

provides

The Ontario government released the

changes on the Environmental

Registry of Ontario As part of the

public consultation process members

of the public can comment on these

changes on the before June 27 2021

The proposed changes lists the

services that are core and non-core

Municipalities would be mandated to

provide funds for core services such

as flood management permitting and

planning services However

municipalities can opt-out of non-core

services including maintaining hiking

trails environmental restoration on

private land providing education

programs planting forests and most

components for stream groundwater

and wetland monitoring

ldquoOur natural resources provide

numerous ecosystem services to those

who live work and play in the

watershedrdquo commented Doug

Hevenor CAO of NVCA ldquoMaintaining

and enhancing these natural resources

requires an integrated approach By

dividing our services into core and

non-core we may have to make the

difficult choice to eliminate or reduce

programs from the integrated process

Page 97 of 99

This makes it much more difficult to

ensure naturersquos ecosystem services

are in place and are resilient to

climate change and the impacts of

urban growthrdquo

Residents are encouraged to submit

comments about their experiences

with NVCArsquos noncore programs and to

ask the Minister to reconsider dividing

programs into core and noncore

Examples include experiences in

NVCArsquos conservation areas working

with the stewardship team to restore

stream and river banks as well as

childrenrsquos experiences at the Tiffin

Centre for Conservation

ldquoCurrently NVCA receives 50 of our

funding from our municipal partnersrdquo

continued Hevenor ldquoUnder the new

legislation funding for non-core work

could be drastically reduced from

current levels This funding is vital for

maintaining our conservation

areasand allows our education staff to

develop programs Our talented

stewardship staff raises four times as

much funds to restore our streams

and rivers to improve water quality

maintain tourism and provide habitat

in all of our partner municipalitiesrdquo

NEWS RELEASE

NOTTAWASAGA VALLEY

CONSERVATION AUTHORITY

UTOPIA ndash Residents in the

Nottawasaga Valley watershed are

encouraged to comment on the

proposed changes to the Conservation

Authorities Act to help ensure there is

adequate funding for important

services that the Nottawasaga Valley

Conservation Authority (NVCA)

provides

The Ontario government released the

changes on the Environmental

Registry of Ontario As part of the

public consultation process members

of the public can comment on these

changes on the before June 27 2021

The proposed changes lists the

services that are core and non-core

Municipalities would be mandated to

provide funds for core services such

as flood management permitting and

planning services However

municipalities can opt-out of non-core

services including maintaining hiking

trails environmental restoration on

private land providing education

programs planting forests and most

components for stream groundwater

and wetland monitoring

ldquoOur natural resources provide

numerous ecosystem services to those

who live work and play in the

watershedrdquo commented Doug

Hevenor CAO of NVCA ldquoMaintaining

and enhancing these natural resources

requires an integrated approach By

dividing our services into core and

non-core we may have to make the

difficult choice to eliminate or reduce

programs from the integrated process

Page 99 of 99

This makes it much more difficult to

ensure naturersquos ecosystem services

are in place and are resilient to

climate change and the impacts of

urban growthrdquo

Residents are encouraged to submit

comments about their experiences

with NVCArsquos noncore programs and to

ask the Minister to reconsider dividing

programs into core and noncore

Examples include experiences in

NVCArsquos conservation areas working

with the stewardship team to restore

stream and river banks as well as

childrenrsquos experiences at the Tiffin

Centre for Conservation

ldquoCurrently NVCA receives 50 of our

funding from our municipal partnersrdquo

continued Hevenor ldquoUnder the new

legislation funding for non-core work

could be drastically reduced from

current levels This funding is vital for

maintaining our conservation

areasand allows our education staff to

develop programs Our talented

stewardship staff raises four times as

much funds to restore our streams

and rivers to improve water quality

maintain tourism and provide habitat

in all of our partner municipalitiesrdquo

Residents can visit the Environmental

Registry of Ontario to provide

comments and to learn more about

the proposed changes to the

Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

IssuesAnalysis

Governance is important and endorsing such demonstrates the NVCArsquos willingness to provide accountability and transparency in the process of sharing information with the public

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

Page 71 of 99

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA

2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018

election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108

tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th

2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos

2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th

2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act

2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments

KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS

Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of

CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 72 of 99

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 73 of 99

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act

Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations

MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY

What does Mandatory mean

Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to

bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource

Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring

What does Non-Mandatory mean

Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO

Agreements)

bull Other Programs and Services

Current Levy Structure

bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy

portion of the budget

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 74 of 99

bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment

bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy

New Levy Structure

bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy

amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA

or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy

Working Together for Watershed Management

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities

ADVISORY BOARDS

Government prescribed terms

bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

CA Board to develop TOR

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 75 of 99

bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures

CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS

Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation

IssuesAnalysis

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues

When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs

How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands

How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including

There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management

Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 76 of 99

Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate

This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed

Impact on Authority Finances

There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include

bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg

accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance

bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair

bull Property taxes

A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks

over residential development on

golf course

May 17 2021 by Ian Adams

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach will try to reach a

settlement agreement with the owners

of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as

it prepares for a land planning tribunal

hearing over a residential

development proposal

Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee

agreed to a recommendation that

authorized staff to try and reach a

settlement with TPC at Marlwood on

its proposal to build 60 residential

units in two blocks overlooking the

course

One block on the first fairway would

be nine units The second block

coming off Masters Lane is 51 units

and would front onto the 17th fairway

The original submission for 65 units

was filed in 2017 It was revised in

2020 to what is currently proposed

Marlwood had filed an appeal to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in

January after the town failed to

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

(Editors note Article corrected on

May 18 to indicate the nine unit block

would be along the first fairway an

original version stated the fifth

fairway Simcoecom apologizes for

any confusion caused)

May 20 2021

Alliston Herald

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) is currently

reviewing the Regulatory Proposal

Consultation Guide the first of two

phases in finalizing the changes to the

Conservation Authorities Act

Part of the guide details the

mandatory and non-mandatory

programs and services conservation

authorities will implement along with

the timelines to establish service

agreements with municipalities

Under the proposed regulations guide

NVCA will be able to continue

integrated watershed management

work such as protecting and

enhancing water quality and quantity

identifying flood and erosion risks and

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Collingwood Today

Shawn GibsonBarrieToday

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

IssuesAnalysis

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

Page 71 of 99

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA

2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018

election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108

tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th

2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos

2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th

2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act

2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments

KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS

Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of

CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 72 of 99

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 73 of 99

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act

Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations

MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY

What does Mandatory mean

Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to

bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource

Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring

What does Non-Mandatory mean

Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO

Agreements)

bull Other Programs and Services

Current Levy Structure

bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy

portion of the budget

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 74 of 99

bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment

bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy

New Levy Structure

bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy

amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA

or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy

Working Together for Watershed Management

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities

ADVISORY BOARDS

Government prescribed terms

bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

jurisdiction bull Must seek out a variety of members including youth and indigenous

representation Appointment process of members by public notification and application

bull A minimum of one authority Member (and an Alternate) to be appointed bull Maximum authority representation is 15 bull CA must provide administrative support bull Meetings open to the public

CA Board to develop TOR

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 75 of 99

bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures

CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS

Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation

IssuesAnalysis

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues

When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs

How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands

How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including

There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management

Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 76 of 99

Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate

This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed

Impact on Authority Finances

There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include

bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg

accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance

bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair

bull Property taxes

A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks

over residential development on

golf course

May 17 2021 by Ian Adams

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach will try to reach a

settlement agreement with the owners

of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as

it prepares for a land planning tribunal

hearing over a residential

development proposal

Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee

agreed to a recommendation that

authorized staff to try and reach a

settlement with TPC at Marlwood on

its proposal to build 60 residential

units in two blocks overlooking the

course

One block on the first fairway would

be nine units The second block

coming off Masters Lane is 51 units

and would front onto the 17th fairway

The original submission for 65 units

was filed in 2017 It was revised in

2020 to what is currently proposed

Marlwood had filed an appeal to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in

January after the town failed to

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

(Editors note Article corrected on

May 18 to indicate the nine unit block

would be along the first fairway an

original version stated the fifth

fairway Simcoecom apologizes for

any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Collingwood Today

Shawn GibsonBarrieToday

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

Recommendation

RESOLVED THAT the NVCA Board of Directors receive Staff Report No 21-06-21-BOD that summarizes the permits and approvals issued by staff for the period of November 28 2020 to June 8 2021

Purpose of the Staff Report

Background

As a result of an amended regulation to the Conservation Authorities Act Section 28 lsquoDevelopment Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulationrsquo NVCA staff have been delegated the authority to approve permissions consistent with board approved policies and guidelines

Based on the Board of Directors approved reporting format and timelines staff provide the Board biannual reporting This format allows for increased transparency and freeing up of staff time to devote to permit approvals and issuance

PermitsApprovals under the Conservation Authorities Act Report Staff Report No 21-06-21-BOD

As outlined in MNRFrsquos May 2010 ldquoPolicies and Procedures for Conservation Authority Plan Review and Permitting Activitiesrdquo (the ldquoCALCrdquo report) permit applications under the Conservation Authorities Act will generally be processed within specified timelines This document identifies that conservation authorities are to make a decision (ie recommendation to approve or recommendation for refusal with right to an appeal) with respect to a permission (permit) application and pursuant to the Conservation Authorities Act within 30 days for a complete minor application and 90 days for a complete major application

The NVCA will notify applicants in writing within 21 days of the receipt of a permission (permit) application as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not The applicant should pre-consult with NVCA staff prior to submission of an application to determine complete permit application requirements for specific projects

1 Publicly accessible agreements and policies that guide reviews and decision making

2 CA online screening maps

3 CA annual report to Conservation Ontario on review timelines

The Client Service Standards report provided client service targets for review of permit applications under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act (Table 3 of document at link included below) Under the Client Service Standards prior permit applications classified as lsquoClearance LetterLetter of Approvalrsquo have been renamed lsquoRoutine Permit Applicationsrsquo The following target timelines have been identified

bull Routine Permit Applications ndash Notification as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not within 10 days decision to be rendered within 14 days of receipt of complete application with 7 additional days for review of subsequent re-submissions

bull Minor Permit Applications - Notification as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not within 14 days decision to be rendered within 21 days of receipt of complete application with 15 additional days for review of subsequent re-submissions

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

Page 71 of 99

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA

2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018

election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108

tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th

2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos

2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th

2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act

2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments

KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS

Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of

CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 72 of 99

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 73 of 99

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act

Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations

MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY

What does Mandatory mean

Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to

bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource

Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring

What does Non-Mandatory mean

Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO

Agreements)

bull Other Programs and Services

Current Levy Structure

bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy

portion of the budget

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 74 of 99

bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment

bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy

New Levy Structure

bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy

amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA

or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy

Working Together for Watershed Management

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities

ADVISORY BOARDS

Government prescribed terms

bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 75 of 99

bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures

CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS

Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation

IssuesAnalysis

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues

When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs

How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands

How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including

There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management

Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 76 of 99

Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate

This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed

Impact on Authority Finances

There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include

bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg

accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance

bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair

bull Property taxes

A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks

over residential development on

golf course

May 17 2021 by Ian Adams

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach will try to reach a

settlement agreement with the owners

of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as

it prepares for a land planning tribunal

hearing over a residential

development proposal

Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee

agreed to a recommendation that

authorized staff to try and reach a

settlement with TPC at Marlwood on

its proposal to build 60 residential

units in two blocks overlooking the

course

One block on the first fairway would

be nine units The second block

coming off Masters Lane is 51 units

and would front onto the 17th fairway

The original submission for 65 units

was filed in 2017 It was revised in

2020 to what is currently proposed

Marlwood had filed an appeal to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in

January after the town failed to

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

(Editors note Article corrected on

May 18 to indicate the nine unit block

would be along the first fairway an

original version stated the fifth

fairway Simcoecom apologizes for

any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

NVCA review new proposals for

Conservation Authorities Act

June 3 2021 by Brian Lockhart

Toronto Star

With changes coming to the

Conservation Authorities Act the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority is reviewing the first phase

of changes in the Regulatory Proposal

Consultation Guide

Part of the guide details the

mandatory and non-mandatory

programs and services conservation

authorities will implement along with

the timelines to establish service

agreements with municipalities

Under the proposed regulations guide

the NVCA will be able to continue

integrated watershed management

work such as protecting and

enhancing water quality and quantity

identifying flood and erosion risks and

managing storm water systems

The process helps the NVCA to

manage human activities and natural

resources on a watershed while taking

into account social economic and

environmental issues as well as the

impact of growth and climate change

ldquoI am extremely proud of the

collaborative work that the

Conservation Authority Working Group

(CAWG) was able to do to assist the

development of the regulation guiderdquo

said Doug Hevenor CAO of the NVCA

ldquoOn behalf of NVCA I would like to

thank the province for including a

development of the guiderdquo

The Conservation Authority Working

Group was established by the Province

of Ontario in January 2021 and

includes representatives from

Ontario the Association of

Municipalities of Ontario and

development and agricultural groups

The first task of CAWG included

looking at the first phase of proposed

regulations that impact conservation

Page 38 of 99

Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

Page 71 of 99

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of

CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 73 of 99

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act

Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations

MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY

What does Mandatory mean

Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to

bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource

Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring

What does Non-Mandatory mean

Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO

Agreements)

bull Other Programs and Services

Current Levy Structure

bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy

portion of the budget

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 74 of 99

bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment

bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy

New Levy Structure

bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy

amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA

or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy

Working Together for Watershed Management

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities

ADVISORY BOARDS

Government prescribed terms

bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 75 of 99

bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures

CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS

Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation

IssuesAnalysis

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues

When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs

How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands

How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including

There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management

Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 76 of 99

Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate

This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed

Impact on Authority Finances

There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include

bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg

accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance

bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair

bull Property taxes

A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks

over residential development on

golf course

May 17 2021 by Ian Adams

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach will try to reach a

settlement agreement with the owners

of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as

it prepares for a land planning tribunal

hearing over a residential

development proposal

Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee

agreed to a recommendation that

authorized staff to try and reach a

settlement with TPC at Marlwood on

its proposal to build 60 residential

units in two blocks overlooking the

course

One block on the first fairway would

be nine units The second block

coming off Masters Lane is 51 units

and would front onto the 17th fairway

The original submission for 65 units

was filed in 2017 It was revised in

2020 to what is currently proposed

Marlwood had filed an appeal to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in

January after the town failed to

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

(Editors note Article corrected on

May 18 to indicate the nine unit block

would be along the first fairway an

original version stated the fifth

fairway Simcoecom apologizes for

any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Collingwood Today

Shawn GibsonBarrieToday

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

Page 38 of 99

Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

Page 71 of 99

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA

2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018

election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108

tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th

2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos

2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th

2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act

2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments

KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS

Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of

CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 72 of 99

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 73 of 99

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act

Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations

MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY

What does Mandatory mean

Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to

bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource

Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring

What does Non-Mandatory mean

Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO

Agreements)

bull Other Programs and Services

portion of the budget

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 74 of 99

bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment

bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy

New Levy Structure

bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy

amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA

or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy

Working Together for Watershed Management

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities

ADVISORY BOARDS

Government prescribed terms

bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

Page 75 of 99

bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures

CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS

Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation

IssuesAnalysis

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Wasaga tees up settlement talks

over residential development on

golf course

May 17 2021 by Ian Adams

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach will try to reach a

settlement agreement with the owners

of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as

it prepares for a land planning tribunal

hearing over a residential

development proposal

Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee

agreed to a recommendation that

authorized staff to try and reach a

settlement with TPC at Marlwood on

its proposal to build 60 residential

units in two blocks overlooking the

course

One block on the first fairway would

be nine units The second block

coming off Masters Lane is 51 units

and would front onto the 17th fairway

The original submission for 65 units

was filed in 2017 It was revised in

2020 to what is currently proposed

Marlwood had filed an appeal to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in

January after the town failed to

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

(Editors note Article corrected on

May 18 to indicate the nine unit block

would be along the first fairway an

original version stated the fifth

fairway Simcoecom apologizes for

any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Collingwood Today

Shawn GibsonBarrieToday

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

Page 38 of 99

Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

IssuesAnalysis

Governance is important and endorsing such demonstrates the NVCArsquos willingness to provide accountability and transparency in the process of sharing information with the public

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

Page 71 of 99

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA

2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018

election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108

tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th

2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos

2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th

2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act

2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments

KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS

Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of

CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 72 of 99

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 73 of 99

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act

Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations

MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY

What does Mandatory mean

Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to

bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource

Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring

What does Non-Mandatory mean

Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO

Agreements)

bull Other Programs and Services

Current Levy Structure

bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy

portion of the budget

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 74 of 99

bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment

bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy

New Levy Structure

bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy

amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA

or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy

Working Together for Watershed Management

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities

ADVISORY BOARDS

Government prescribed terms

bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 75 of 99

bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures

CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS

Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation

IssuesAnalysis

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues

When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs

How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands

How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including

There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management

Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 76 of 99

Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate

This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed

Impact on Authority Finances

There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include

bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg

accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance

bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair

bull Property taxes

A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Collingwood Today

Shawn GibsonBarrieToday

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

IssuesAnalysis

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

Page 71 of 99

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA

2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018

election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108

tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th

2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos

2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th

2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act

2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments

KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS

Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of

CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 72 of 99

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 73 of 99

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act

Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations

MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY

What does Mandatory mean

Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to

bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource

Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring

What does Non-Mandatory mean

Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO

Agreements)

bull Other Programs and Services

Current Levy Structure

bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy

portion of the budget

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 74 of 99

bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment

bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy

New Levy Structure

bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy

amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA

or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy

Working Together for Watershed Management

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities

ADVISORY BOARDS

Government prescribed terms

bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

jurisdiction bull Must seek out a variety of members including youth and indigenous

representation Appointment process of members by public notification and application

bull A minimum of one authority Member (and an Alternate) to be appointed bull Maximum authority representation is 15 bull CA must provide administrative support bull Meetings open to the public

CA Board to develop TOR

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 75 of 99

bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures

CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS

Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation

IssuesAnalysis

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues

When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs

How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands

How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including

There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management

Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 76 of 99

Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate

This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed

Impact on Authority Finances

There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include

bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg

accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance

bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair

bull Property taxes

A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks

over residential development on

golf course

May 17 2021 by Ian Adams

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach will try to reach a

settlement agreement with the owners

of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as

it prepares for a land planning tribunal

hearing over a residential

development proposal

Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee

agreed to a recommendation that

authorized staff to try and reach a

settlement with TPC at Marlwood on

its proposal to build 60 residential

units in two blocks overlooking the

course

One block on the first fairway would

be nine units The second block

coming off Masters Lane is 51 units

and would front onto the 17th fairway

The original submission for 65 units

was filed in 2017 It was revised in

2020 to what is currently proposed

Marlwood had filed an appeal to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in

January after the town failed to

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

(Editors note Article corrected on

May 18 to indicate the nine unit block

would be along the first fairway an

original version stated the fifth

fairway Simcoecom apologizes for

any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Collingwood Today

Shawn GibsonBarrieToday

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

Recommendation

RESOLVED THAT the NVCA Board of Directors receive Staff Report No 21-06-21-BOD that summarizes the permits and approvals issued by staff for the period of November 28 2020 to June 8 2021

Purpose of the Staff Report

Background

As a result of an amended regulation to the Conservation Authorities Act Section 28 lsquoDevelopment Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulationrsquo NVCA staff have been delegated the authority to approve permissions consistent with board approved policies and guidelines

Based on the Board of Directors approved reporting format and timelines staff provide the Board biannual reporting This format allows for increased transparency and freeing up of staff time to devote to permit approvals and issuance

PermitsApprovals under the Conservation Authorities Act Report Staff Report No 21-06-21-BOD

As outlined in MNRFrsquos May 2010 ldquoPolicies and Procedures for Conservation Authority Plan Review and Permitting Activitiesrdquo (the ldquoCALCrdquo report) permit applications under the Conservation Authorities Act will generally be processed within specified timelines This document identifies that conservation authorities are to make a decision (ie recommendation to approve or recommendation for refusal with right to an appeal) with respect to a permission (permit) application and pursuant to the Conservation Authorities Act within 30 days for a complete minor application and 90 days for a complete major application

The NVCA will notify applicants in writing within 21 days of the receipt of a permission (permit) application as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not The applicant should pre-consult with NVCA staff prior to submission of an application to determine complete permit application requirements for specific projects

In 20192020 the NVCA in collaboration with Ontariorsquos Conservation Authorities and Conservation Ontario endorsed the Conservation Ontario ldquoClient Service Standards for Conservation Authority Plan and Permit Reviewrdquo (the ldquoClient Services Standardsrdquo report endorsed June 24 2019 amended December 9 2019) As a designated high growth CA the NVCA has implemented the following measures (Note that the NVCA had historically and proactively addressed items 1 amp 2 below)

1 Publicly accessible agreements and policies that guide reviews and decision making

2 CA online screening maps

3 CA annual report to Conservation Ontario on review timelines

The Client Service Standards report provided client service targets for review of permit applications under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act (Table 3 of document at link included below) Under the Client Service Standards prior permit applications classified as lsquoClearance LetterLetter of Approvalrsquo have been renamed lsquoRoutine Permit Applicationsrsquo The following target timelines have been identified

bull Routine Permit Applications ndash Notification as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not within 10 days decision to be rendered within 14 days of receipt of complete application with 7 additional days for review of subsequent re-submissions

bull Minor Permit Applications - Notification as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not within 14 days decision to be rendered within 21 days of receipt of complete application with 15 additional days for review of subsequent re-submissions

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

Page 71 of 99

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA

2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018

election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108

tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th

2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos

2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th

2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act

2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments

KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS

Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of

CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 72 of 99

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 73 of 99

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act

Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations

MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY

What does Mandatory mean

Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to

bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource

Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring

What does Non-Mandatory mean

Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO

Agreements)

bull Other Programs and Services

Current Levy Structure

bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy

portion of the budget

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 74 of 99

bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment

bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy

New Levy Structure

bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy

amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA

or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy

Working Together for Watershed Management

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities

ADVISORY BOARDS

Government prescribed terms

bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 75 of 99

bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures

CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS

Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation

IssuesAnalysis

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues

When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs

How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands

How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including

There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management

Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 76 of 99

Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate

This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed

Impact on Authority Finances

There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include

bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg

accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance

bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair

bull Property taxes

A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks

over residential development on

golf course

May 17 2021 by Ian Adams

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach will try to reach a

settlement agreement with the owners

of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as

it prepares for a land planning tribunal

hearing over a residential

development proposal

Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee

agreed to a recommendation that

authorized staff to try and reach a

settlement with TPC at Marlwood on

its proposal to build 60 residential

units in two blocks overlooking the

course

One block on the first fairway would

be nine units The second block

coming off Masters Lane is 51 units

and would front onto the 17th fairway

The original submission for 65 units

was filed in 2017 It was revised in

2020 to what is currently proposed

Marlwood had filed an appeal to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in

January after the town failed to

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

(Editors note Article corrected on

May 18 to indicate the nine unit block

would be along the first fairway an

original version stated the fifth

fairway Simcoecom apologizes for

any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

NVCA review new proposals for

Conservation Authorities Act

June 3 2021 by Brian Lockhart

Toronto Star

With changes coming to the

Conservation Authorities Act the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority is reviewing the first phase

of changes in the Regulatory Proposal

Consultation Guide

Part of the guide details the

mandatory and non-mandatory

programs and services conservation

authorities will implement along with

the timelines to establish service

agreements with municipalities

Under the proposed regulations guide

the NVCA will be able to continue

integrated watershed management

work such as protecting and

enhancing water quality and quantity

identifying flood and erosion risks and

managing storm water systems

The process helps the NVCA to

manage human activities and natural

resources on a watershed while taking

into account social economic and

environmental issues as well as the

impact of growth and climate change

ldquoI am extremely proud of the

collaborative work that the

Conservation Authority Working Group

(CAWG) was able to do to assist the

development of the regulation guiderdquo

said Doug Hevenor CAO of the NVCA

ldquoOn behalf of NVCA I would like to

thank the province for including a

wide range of stakeholders in the

development of the guiderdquo

The Conservation Authority Working

Group was established by the Province

of Ontario in January 2021 and

includes representatives from

conservation authorities Conservation

Ontario the Association of

Municipalities of Ontario and

development and agricultural groups

The first task of CAWG included

looking at the first phase of proposed

regulations that impact conservation

authorities and their participating

ldquoIrsquom so please the province has

recognized a watershed-wide

approach to management as the best

way to approach conservation issuesrdquo

said Mariane McLeod NVCA chair ldquoIrsquom

grateful that our staff will have

sufficient time to work with our 18

Page 38 of 99

Background

On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard

a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results

Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD

Date 25062021

To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)

Recommendation

WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA

RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review

Purpose of Staff Report

The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO

Background

The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards

KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES

bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA

bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)

bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease

bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)

bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)

bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates

development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario

bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences

Bill 108 ndash 2019

bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations

bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date

bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment

bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers

bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations

bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital

bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations

bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

Bill 229 ndash 2020

bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and

Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA

bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context

bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry

2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act

Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations

MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY

What does Mandatory mean

Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to

bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource

Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring

What does Non-Mandatory mean

Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO

Agreements)

bull Other Programs and Services

Current Levy Structure

bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy

portion of the budget

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 74 of 99

bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment

bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy

New Levy Structure

bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy

amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA

or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy

Working Together for Watershed Management

bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023

bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities

ADVISORY BOARDS

Government prescribed terms

bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

jurisdiction bull Must seek out a variety of members including youth and indigenous

Page 75 of 99

bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures

CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS

Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation

IssuesAnalysis

If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns

Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues

When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs

How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands

How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including

There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management

Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD

Page 76 of 99

Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate

This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed

Impact on Authority Finances

There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include

bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg

accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance

bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair

bull Property taxes

A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks

over residential development on

golf course

May 17 2021 by Ian Adams

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach will try to reach a

settlement agreement with the owners

of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as

it prepares for a land planning tribunal

hearing over a residential

development proposal

Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee

agreed to a recommendation that

authorized staff to try and reach a

settlement with TPC at Marlwood on

its proposal to build 60 residential

units in two blocks overlooking the

course

One block on the first fairway would

be nine units The second block

coming off Masters Lane is 51 units

and would front onto the 17th fairway

The original submission for 65 units

was filed in 2017 It was revised in

2020 to what is currently proposed

Marlwood had filed an appeal to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in

January after the town failed to

provide a decision on its development

application

A case management conference is

scheduled for June 16

According to a report to committee by

the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall

the proposed development does

conform to provincial regional and

municipal planning policies though

there are several unresolved issues

dealing with natural heritage issues

identified by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry and the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority

However he noted those issues could

be addressed through a revision of the

development boundaries and policies

in the proposed zoning bylaw

amendment

ldquoDiscussions on these matters can

resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo

Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will

allow the town to negotiate terms with

the owner to ensure that the townrsquos

interests are consideredrdquo

In a 2018 public meeting on the

development application residents

who live in the area expressed

concern about the impact on wildlife

and habitat traffic and the effect on

existing homeowners and the golf

course

Director of planning Doug Herron told

the committee the applicant has

addressed some of the concerns

raised by the public

(Editors note Article corrected on

May 18 to indicate the nine unit block

would be along the first fairway an

original version stated the fifth

fairway Simcoecom apologizes for

any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood

but you might have to wait them

out

Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak

of the destructive moths but their

days are numbered according to

forestry experts watching the trees

May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Collingwood Today

Shawn GibsonBarrieToday

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for

trees in Collingwood but with a little

luck the damage it leaves behind

wonrsquot be permanent

The local conservation authority has

confirmed earlier predictions by

Simcoe County and the Ministry of

Natural Resources and Forestry that

2021 would bring an outbreak of

European gypsy moths

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin

on the invasive species noting there

will be a peak in the population of the

destructive caterpillars and moths this

year and likely for the next couple of

years

Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager

of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars

travelling across large fields in search

of foraging areas

ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are

as high as they are anticipated for this

year there really isnrsquot much

landowners can do to control the

infestation other than to patiently

wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the

NVCA bulletin

In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy

Martin confirmed there are spots

where the gypsy moth has become

prevalent

ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in

town Mair Mills is one areardquo said

Martin

However the town is taking the lsquowait

patientlyrsquo approach

ldquoCurrently the town does not have the

resources to control gypsy moths on

private or town landrdquo said Martin

The County of Simcoersquos forestry

department reports gypsy moths are

non-native invasive insects from

Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario

since 1969

The caterpillars feed on deciduous and

some coniferous trees in May and

June causing trees to lose their leaves

(defoliation) during peak years They

seem to like oak trees and though

they look similar to tent caterpillars

they do not make tents

Though trees can suffer and even die

from multiple years of defoliation that

is not always the case

Page 91 of 99

ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]

typically collapse back to low densities

within one to three years of outbreak

no substantive or long-lasting impacts

to overall forest health has resulted

historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County

Forestry website

According to an egg mass survey of

county forests in 2020 the most

noticeable impacts have been in the

Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay

and Adjala-Tosorontio areas

The Ontario Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has

mapped areas with defoliation caused

by gypsy moths in 2020 and

confirmed a general outbreak across

much of the province Yoursquoll find the

mapping here

The City of Barrie is trying to combat

the caterpillars with insecticide

injections into the tree and wrapping

the trunks in tape sticky side out

Living Green Project director Andee

Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated

that trees in Simcoe County will be

severely affected this year

ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a

seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year

will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo

said Pelan ldquoTypically when

populations rise rapidly they are

usually followed by a crash from a

host-specific virus or fungusrdquo

The county has confirmed the

presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus

(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga

fungus in the county forest areas and

confirmed it has caused insect

mortality

Pelan said using tape to try to prevent

the caterpillars from eating the tree

isnrsquot necessarily the best idea

ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports

of other wildlife like birds getting

trapped as well We will however be

using the burlap wrap-trap technique

in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she

said ldquoThis will include physically

picking the caterpillars off the tree and

drowning them in a bucket of soapy

water just like we did with the

Japanese beetlesrdquo

Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo

The NVCA said the area may also get

some help from the skies but not in

the form of aerial spraying which has

to be widespread and can be

detrimental to native butterflies and

moths

ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring

surveys wersquove seen a noticeable

increase in bird species that specialize

in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo

said Dave Featherstone a senior

ecologist at the NVCA in their latest

bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently

coming across avian species like the

black and yellow-billed cuckoos and

the rufous-sided twohees We also

saw black-capped chickadees eating

egg masses during the winterrdquo

Martin directed Collingwood

landowners who might be seeing

evidence of gypsy moths and

caterpillars on their trees to

the County of Simcoe website where

there is a list of resources and

information on how to find a certified

arborist or professional forester to

help

NVCA review new proposals for

Conservation Authorities Act

June 3 2021 by Brian Lockhart

Toronto Star

With changes coming to the

Conservation Authorities Act the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority is reviewing the first phase

of changes in the Regulatory Proposal

Consultation Guide

Part of the guide details the

mandatory and non-mandatory

programs and services conservation

authorities will implement along with

agreements with municipalities

Under the proposed regulations guide

the NVCA will be able to continue

integrated watershed management

work such as protecting and

enhancing water quality and quantity

identifying flood and erosion risks and

managing storm water systems

The process helps the NVCA to

manage human activities and natural

resources on a watershed while taking

With changes coming to the

Conservation Authorities Act the

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation

Authority is reviewing the first phase

of changes in the Regulatory Proposal

Consultation Guide

Part of the guide details the

mandatory and non-mandatory

programs and services conservation

authorities will implement along with

the timelines to establish service

agreements with municipalities

Under the proposed regulations guide

the NVCA will be able to continue

integrated watershed management

work such as protecting and

enhancing water quality and quantity

identifying flood and erosion risks and

managing storm water systems

The process helps the NVCA to

manage human activities and natural

resources on a watershed while taking

into account social economic and

environmental issues as well as the

impact of growth and climate change

ldquoI am extremely proud of the

collaborative work that the

Conservation Authority Working Group
