Dear Mr. Doug Pladsen

RE:

I appreclate the opportunity to make my concerßs kÊovrrn, in writing, about the prnposed ffi€d

waveåreakat LaSalle Park Marina.

At taSalle Park there are three types of swans. Mute swans ar€ year around residenß, they are

non migratory and non native; the othertwc srrvâ:lts are indigenousto Ns¡th Arner*ca and are

migatory. TheTundra Swan rests and Fasses thr+ugh LaSalle in large ffocks, sometimes&)to100 blrds at a time. Tt*e third type of swân theTfiImpeter Swan (Cygnus buæ{nator}, $r¡nters

at LaSalle. The Trumpeter Sn¡an wefghs 25 to 30 pounds with a uring span al V lATo I feet

making ¡t the largest species of watedou¡l in the world-

Tft¡mpeter Swans were extirpated frorn Ontario in the mid 18(fr. A l"estoration prograrn was

started ín 1982 through the efforts of ,3 now retired Ministry of Natural

Ressu,rces bí,alogist. ln the early 1980's eggs were coltected from Alaska and Alberta forhatching. raisír*g captive breeding pairs and eventually cygnets were released in Ontario.

ln 1g93, the first trumpeter swaas to mate in ttre wild and rnigrate in Ontario in or¡er tr50 years

choce Burlington Bay as their overwintering home. Today there are some 800 to 90t free

fh¡lng; wild trumpeter swans in Ontario, of which 25% choose to wínter in the area adiacent tothe boardwailk at LãSalle Park. SÍnce 1993. with tt*e help of a few dedicated volunteers, a daÎly

rnonitoring; record keeping, cofaur rnark and Þanding pftlgrarn has been rnaintained from

Novemherto March each Year.

O¡rtario's Trumpeter Swan records have novu been transferred to a computer data base at the

University of GueNph. This contaíns ouer 30,000 records sf rnovernents, s¡.¡rvival, parentage and

product?vity oT LL45 marked swans wlth another 150 recordsand new bandings to be entered.

Ðoug P*adsen,

È,llay8,2AI2

The benefit of these urintering swans is that they provide the opportunity for indepth scientific

research of this specie. Students fronr Guelph Un'rversity and McMaster *-tniversity have vwitten

and are writing their science papers from the f.asalle Park Trumpeter Swan records.

lnforr¡ation Ís being exchanged wlth Bird Sþ¡dies Canada, who will use our data for teacfring

and furthering their own scientific research.

A study is a,lso under way under the direction of of the University of Guelph

whictr !nvofues collectisrg blood, feather ar¡d cloaca* samples for the Univerui$s research sn the

auian Borr¿a virus.

The purpose for providing you with this background information ïs the concern of myself and

others about the effects the pea'rnanent waw-break could have on the swafts that winter in the

area and on the freezing Fattern of the 8ay and area adjacentto the bsardvrralk.

A very irnporÊant issue is that Trumpeter and Tundra swans rnust have open water to survive,

The u¡ater must be shatlow eeT ough fer the swans to tip for food as they are not divers" They

cannot feed ín water deeper than the length of their neck and the first approximate quarter of

their chest. They elso require sufficient land resting area. A large open spaoe runway is a

requirement for take.off and landing as they are a 747-si¿ed, huge bírd, the largest swan in theworld- Placement and size of the urave-break oauld curtail the ability of the birds to take sË

and land and this coutrd present an obstacle that wouH be impossible to overcome.

The tirning of constrrctisn is atsa critical siace winter disturbance {Ncvember to March} would

have a s€vere detrirnental effect-

We are askípg your professiooalå wiren fìrrning up tfreir act¡on plan, to make these ftems a high

priority. We t¡.llly appreciate there ìs no intent on anyone's part to âarm the swans and, a

so!utîon to accpmmodate the birds and the Marina'hasto be found.

This program is împortant and your cons*deration in helping to preserve it ls greatty

appreciated.

Submission by

Surmary:The pooject [s to desigll a system to coÊ&o* ìtravcs for a saft harbo¡¡r at LFMA- This amounfs to

an energr prcôlem that is to provide an entance for boats, a safe mooring areâ and safe mooringf,aciliries for people movement and enjoyment of moored boats. r,Vaves ¡¡rd wind are ¿ unified energJ¡

syste{Ð, but effective control overwind is tnugh Èrr achie¡¡e, Therefore, rvaves in water are thechøÊÎenge. Two rnethods of e,nergy õontrol aæ suggested with existing examples available: increasedmass and íßertia in e floating säüetuf,e that spans üre wave period, (at lly'aupoos Marina, Frince EdwardCounty) and parabolic flrrves in a wau, (æ Po* DoverHarbourMarina" Norfolk County)" Tobeeffsclive, å¡ly rryave break must h¿ve the energy balarce ap,pruaching zero, {not lfte the situation atPsrt Credit Yacbt CIub, Port Credit) Ot&er environrnenta{ effects are also considered primøily*quatic plants aed it is propos€d that a harvester be considered and discussd at this peirlt in theproæss" Erosion csntrol potential for shore sites is also mentioned. The conslusion is that a perrnanentnon-floating struature is the belter of the hvo options serggested,

The request has been madeby Diltron Ccnsulfing wnder Schedule C of the Municipal ClassEnviro:nnental Assessment prÐcess for ínput to the study of a u¡ar¡e break system for f¿Salle ParkMarina" located in llamilton ll*r,bo¡.u at the west eed of Lake Ontario It is myunderstandingthæ it isthe hope of tlre LPMi{ to h¿ye federal funding fo¡ this project if it is irnplemented, and therefore thiss'tudy will alsc be subject to the Canadian Eslçim*m¡ental À$s€s$neç*t Aet or review prooess a-r well.

^As a boat onrfÌ€r arid user uf harbours for watercrafr, my rna.lor requireræe,nt for shelter for boatmoøring is a safe haràot¡r. This includes provisio*s for calm watar for mooring to wharves, jetties alldother fÌoating sysÊems of mooring facilities that are ofren provided within barltcurs, especially farsmall rvatercraf[" Lack of mctíon derived from wind and waves is a key component in the r,estriction afmotion of moered boats, - to reduce wear and chafe on mooring lines, and exceseive motion of rnaststc avoid hitting nearby mests. It is also a big component for those who enjoy their boat while mooredin the docks in the facility. Furlber, deming stonn times or other weetï¿er dependent situ¿tions (wet andslrppery), it is a major {aclor in being able to walk the walkways on floating pontcons safely. (DocksarË the rvaters in which boats rcst aÍ a mooring.)

Thus, the priu:ary concern for an effective design of a wave break is to dissipate the energyf¡om waves before they reach the harbour. Since energy is neither created nor desffoyed, thís becomesa project ?n using energy or inertia from one '*sourc€" or mr¡ss to counteract enerry of anothsr'*sourse"or mzss.

There can be seve¡al sflurc€s for energy ûo make u¡av€s. Eoat wake is one source but may be

regulatd and controlled or enforsed wittrin a measured proximity to harbours. Wind ene¡ry acld itssffecß can be trunsferred to both boats ard open water surfaces and is the usual cause for rvaves in the

study area- Currents and especially conflicting currents tr currËnts ínto la¡ge masses of stable wâterrårÌ cau$e staæding \ä¡aves, bl¡t this is not the z¡su¿l situation witÉrin this shrdy area-

trVind energy hansfer is the matn cause cf rn aves in the study area. That energy beoomes the

main e*ergy sourÈÊ to c.onsider for this study. This is complicated by the fact th¿t wind may come

ftom any point of the sompess and thexefÐre is a 3600 conside,Íatiqn f,or the loc¿tisn. l#hile tXere is a

certain amount ofprotection from the north" from the n¿fv¡r¿l rise of land, and west fmm the existingspit, f$n a¡ea to tïle east becomes mo'Ís exposÊd to west wind effects as one fnflv€s molre easterly,espscially since,waye$ are gen€rêted in conce*tric circles around stationary objects like the spít- Frompersonal erperisnce and observatíons" tåe more damaging wind systerns at LPM.A, have heæ,n from thseast and soufi, even though fte fstch is not particularly Tong in either dir€ction. lü'ith the current wavebreak systonl I have seen øÁsts interlock acrrû¡ïs finger pontoons ûcm wave actian generated bysouthrvinds, restetrting in dønmges to both boats entangfe4 and rilaves easily "breakl'ouer the currentwavebreak with earterþ winds" meaning Che c.trreût n'ave break is ine.ffective for those wind systerns-

Osce the wind cnergy is transferred [o wav€ motion in water, there are norv two sor¡roes ofenergy that rnay a{fect the harbsur: wind ar:d Hrave e&ergy. Since rvind energy is difficult to cor¡t¡ol

with manmade structures, the anly ccntrol for that may be to ptrant more trees on the spit or increase

the a¡ea of the existing spit tro allow for more'håtuÍal" area for trce planting. That leav€s the control ofïvave sn€rg¡r as the main project

T'here are roquirements ts allow l ) access for boats to and frsm tlæ hsr,fuur a:rd 2.) area forsafe mooring facilities witbån the hartour, and 3.) safe use of the mooríng faøilities af all times by boøtowners and Marina personel. Tllis must also i¡slude the effects of ice: firsÇ on mooring systeras ifthose syslems are to ãe left in fhe water cver tarinter, asd second on tàe wave brEak struc&re if it is tobe in place over winter as wetrl. Because of the costs involved, it is usual for a desire to have a biggerfaci*ity with moæ tenants ar me¿wbeffi Èo cover æ$b of the iruprovemenl so some expansie,n is usuellyplanned.

In the sr¡rrent shrdy aræ,there has b€sn some artificial development of islets ta åhe east of theLPMA site and *rat would appear ts b€ a reasonable €asterly lirnit. If it is desirable to ma*ntainthoseislets as isolated systems, then lhat may be achie.r'ed, at least for keeled sailing vessels, by shallowdepths of water or random artificial n'reeß" and fish habitat that rernain just below the surfaoe-..

However" wave pattern systems from those islek in an easterþ breezes is a concem ir the design

because in the interfercnce pattern generaåed by the islets, the,le are pcinàs of reinlorcement as well as

pcinfs of interference. If that area or the area betr.veen sho¡e and a uravebreak system is to be Ieftu¡ithout a complete wave barrier (as is now the case), then some s,crt of fu¡thsr ¡¡¡ave break protection

{ftorn parabc}ic surfac€ controtr} ought to be initiated within this new current design to confol waves inthose gaps.

Since wal,e action is a transfer of errergy alcng the wavs, aÍ efferti.ve wave bre¿k needs to

inte.rnrpt dris transfer longitudinally" This m€r¡ns àhat the displacement cr period cf the wave needs to

be interfercd rvlth if the break is to be succ€ssful. This can be done in at leest tTvo rrtalÆ. Firsl, the

energy system fïåt affÊcts water pa*icles and their changes in potential and kinstic errergy c¿n be

interfered with by adding msFe ilìass and inertia to tËre systern via a stn¡ctu¡e that spans the wavepenod,. The shuctr¡re musË always exceed fhe period of the wavÈ st that the potential energy of the

particles at the high poinfs offsel the kinetiE eflergy atthe low points of the wave within oaeperiod. ffthere is Ë¡Íår alvave sys[em that exceds lhe design of Êhe st¡r¡cture, then the break system will fäil and

the w¿\,'es over the sÉrucu¡¡e wil* be severe. This is a real risk no¡v that n'eather systsms are morevariab$e and unprodisùable than we may have ihought in $re pasl. Second, the wave can be relçrsed onitself by using solid parabolic struch¡¡es to [imit the effective distance contuol and so the tstål system

cancets the displaceræent by itself. In any designed *ystem to dissipate energy of waves, fhe resulÊ mustbe that the energy balance within the systern apprcaches or equals zeru. By th¿t I noear drat the snerg¡tinìo a reÞining wall must be reflacted to deôdên more incorßing €nersv, or that potential energy of aparticle within a wave must be oft'set by kinetic energy with the same period of the wave.

ln pract*caÍ terms, I have seen both the above zuggested €nsrgy dissipation stn¡ctures used effectivelyin harüouss ia Ontario.

T'he ñrst systern, a systern of rnass and iner,ta, may be seen at tlrc lffaupoos Marina in Frince rEdward County, rvhere they haue a *hememadd' lryaye hreak constructed af used tires pressed onto aeompact fioaÉing system. There a¡e draTrbacks in thaf the anchoring hald$/art næds to be large to holdthe mass of *le floaÈing rystem and then there æe ?¡b¡zMussefs, which addu*sxpecbed weiglrt andtond to s¡.nk the system. f:nol+ever, ¿t more than 6 feet wide, thaÉ particular systsm is an effectíve r¡/avc

break for the losaiion. Ìt is high malntenance from what I could see" and a'wkward to æpair whenrepairs werc needed- Itwoxld appearas if this sysûu* mustbedismantled and shetrtered forthe winterby storing it in a she.ltersd place. lf that were the case, then the mooring sysÍwr would also need to be

remcved for lhe rvlnter rs well, This is an ongoing cost that ingreases ernery year and caËses much wear

a¡*d tear çn mooring facilities and the people w'ho have to move it. There is also ãre real cosl tc dispose

of tiræ once they fail. There is a different system design with the floating wave Break at H¿rbour lffestin Hamilton but that strucfsre is composed of hye longitudinal floats sepatated by solid members so

that it, too, does span f}le period of waves that it is to heøk. However, the mooring faci$ity ther€ is nota floating syste¡n and so poses a rnuch different wintering prcblem from the {loating sysÈern at LFMA.

Eramples of the second system can be se6n at the ?ort Dsvsr Harbour M¿rina and coast guæd

station aÈ Pcrt Doyer in Long Point Bay on Lake Erie. The enhance to the msrina faces *'est u'ithabouta ? mils feteh ov€r very shallow water to the west with a prevailing westerlybreeze. Waves

ccming in to this madna often haye displacements of morc than I meteq oocasionalÏy up to 2 rneterso

and n ould çre*te havos within e rnarina if they were not well controlled. This control is generated byat least 3 parabolas constn:lcfed sn shore and east of the concrete j,etty for the entrance to the LlnnRiver. The fi¡sf is a relatively fiarge cutrvË on the north shore east of thejetty and west of the caastguard shrion. Ttreis føcas almost due south and any vr'âves that break on this surfaee fnve fhe reflection$¡aves rast to the focal point of the paraboþ about mid channel to tf*e harbour entnance. Thus, ühere is

s'¿sry effeotive interfesence pøttern using concentrat€d, refleclive, rvave flrergy to dissipate new,inccrning wave €nergy and since there is no defined linearsurface for reflection" the ínterferencepaÈtern is scrambled tco. Then there are two more constructedn smnller, curvsd surfaces on flre northshore, east of that big surface, due soutft of the coast guard station that add fürttrer darnpening by the

same rÐeans. ln a span of about 40 meters at the hsrbüur entrance, there are just no waves, evenlvith 2meteru¡aves al buoy ED6, about 300 meiers r¡¡est of the €nFaûcq near the mouth of the L1.nn River.

The second system offers a much superior wave break with lorv maíatenance and continuallyeffective control, because whalwer the incor-ning wave characteristics for period anddisplacelnent, thc

¡efl,ection and ooncentnation of tbat rcflected systsm canc€.ls the confinuing i*comingrvavÊ ensrgysysùem. Howeve,rn it ís dif-ficult to implement this sort design as a change in an existing system after the

iurplementatien of another design, es c€n be seen al Pcrt Credit'llC cwrently.They h¿ve a *tmightwall design and west facing ingre*s with westerly prevailing u'inds to a protected bay. That ingress

oËers a sourr€ for bsth a tscrnoulli s,lrstem of resfüctod fluid flor+,, so greater w¿ter velocities and an

initiaÈior: point fur a ner# conceflt¡jc wave pattsrn with no int¡rference pattern that expands miserablywi¿hi* thaf harbou¿ This systein design at PCYC is a failure far fusu|?S% aftheirmooring facility".A,s a further conside.ration- the parabolic system reduces the eflects of waves on üre skacture itseXf, byreducing th.e ineomi*g war¡€ size, and that is wsrth considerable consideration in an e.ngineering

design.

As fos other effechs, some of tleem unwanàed by boaters, there will be a change in erolog¡twithin ü¡e confines of the r¡¡ave break. Vfhile a mck wall is open ùo flow so that water [evels do notdifferr'¡ifiin and without, the volurne of wafç moved within a walled area oruansferred ftum one

side of,a nal1 to anofher is changed {usually lessened} so that oflen water is warrner and less mobileth¡c¡ if the wali were not in plaoe. Thus, silting increases. These two effects {rva*ning and silti4g) ænd

to incr€ase plant growth ¿nd so clnnge navigability for boaters. On the other side of &e dis,cr¡ssion,

Incorporatingparabolic curves into a design may also make for 1€ss bank erorieÊ fûrneighboring properties if tl¡e effects of tbe wavE bceak system extend beyond thE rnerina itstlf, evsn ífit is only to the boundary of the defined study area-

ûne might also make the csmment that The ,4mericar¡ ,A.nny Corps of Engineers üras been

relattvely unsuccessft¡l at designing and building wave break structuras on the Atläntic seaboard

becar¡se of the consknt ånd relentless forces of,waves on their designs. This would indicate trat amongthose design engineeas, tfuere a¡€. some basic princip*as that have been left out of a consideration foteffective, fong te.rrn, ccst effecËive lttaye break sh¡ctural designs. Strely, it can be none oËher than alack of energ¡l balance resolution w'lren compared to the properties of the materiatrs used in the

structl¡ral implernørtation or the ero.sion charecterístics of the foundatio*s or fcundation soils.

In summary, two ways to counteract u/av€ e¡T€rgy with effesdve war/e breaks are to overpowerthe energy systeffr with mass and inertia and try to have this system flcat, ot to use systems th¿t use

reflectir.e ïvave energy concentrated to dissipate incoming rr,ave energJ¡. Any sy*tern thât does îotconsider the anergy balance fo a *zutr¿l equilibrium is not scientilically reasonabïe" rtrhile cost is

always afactnr,building effective systems the firsttime is the only cost effsctive methcd, becar¡se

fixing any inoperative experiment is much more costly in the snd- While addingmass and iaertia to a

system is aften cheaper and expedient, adding tfuat mass and hoping to have it lIoat effeetively requiresongûlßg vigilance and constant mainter:ance, vll of which is expensive. Changes in envir,onr¡ent and

ocolory for Ére long run with floating sysüems are therefore not ås stable as they would be witï a¡rermanent, low maintena¡ce, scientifically sound, no*-floating wave break syshem, prødded thesbi¡cture itself ånd its fot¡nd¿tion are capable of resisting degrad¿tise frorn so¡tiftrel pouding bywater urd ice.

The LaSalle Park Marina is located in Lasalle Park at the foot sfLaSafle Park Road. The 57 acre park was initially developed in'1951, and is sunounded by an older residential community. TheLaSalle Park Pavillion is a cornrnunity landrnark where banquets,

weddings, business rneetings and other events ar,e held. The park

also incl¡rdes walking trai|s, sports fields, a playground, a wadingpool and splash pad and a picnic area" The constructed walkingfail and looilceuß are connected to the Waterfront Trail along Lake

Ontario"

The LaSalle Park Martna is a valuable resource, as it is the onlymarina in the City of Burlington offeri¡-rq an 'irnportant haven forIocal recreational boaters and those that enjoy viewing marina andboating activities. lt also houses a public launch omp and is oneof the only accessible madnas in Hamilton Harbou¡'.

Whv is there a need for a waue breah sfudv?The LaSalle Park Marina is cunenlly pr.otected by a floatingwave break" The cunent system has proven to be insufficientduring high wind events, resulting in damage to sorne boats

moored at the Marina.

ln 2009, LPMA subrnitted their Vision 2012 to City Councilwhich proposes a permanent wave break and an expanded

Marina to 320 slîps plus 2û transient slips. The key benefits of

the proposed vision include:

s Enhanced fish and wildlife habitatw Reduced wave agitation levels and prevention of damage

& Habitat restoration included the construction of seasonally emergent sh¡oals

to help diversifo the native fish community and provide improved spawning

habitat for fish such as bass and sunfish

Lasalle Pa¡k Mariaa lVave Break F. roject

TB Dillíen Constlting and Shoreptan Consufting Engineers:

I aüeüd€d tfte public ev€at oD May 16 and your last tn¡o boards ast<ed for futher input or forË*i*gs forgotten in ftre rcatsdals th¡t ye,re presentd that evening. I have scveral oolrcnß ürat wseevident ts me regarding facts a¡d cmiseions'

There u,ere coms¡ents about h¡bitat for nesting sites for Csmamî Tems asd Ring Billed Gulls

specifrcally" The dæigp conceg før the cross s€ction oftlp wave break was a çiangle *ith a rotrnded

câp 4)ex and sev€rsl srmoth sided pieces laid in below the ry o* both sides af an angle &at Ipresnaed was úe sfixnp aagte of the base" I havebæn a birdu¡atcher für ovcr 5G years ard have lwerseein ãn exarnple of this as ¿ suitabte habitat for any nest never mind gulls änd teøs. TTreEe is a fairtylarge nesting colony ofborh species allöBoøqxrte's gulls o¡ the break wall in Port Colborne but the

area thay nest on is *r üa üat su¡fzoes behied tbe ï¡ave break. Predatus are excludd ftorr this afea

{peopleard rrccoons!}.Thsre is also a ctrap at Brock Uníveisily {sorry; I fut'tknow his name) who

has tloræ considerabls researcå oç this site aod he xrould not be too In¡tl b firrd within lh*t universify.

Tbis sorl of person *øou¿s v¡'bât will worh ¿r¡d wfiat won't. Furthø" in a disctxsiot with tlcsr¡ggæted that ihe inc|i¡e wor¡ld have a reftreetance of about 6fflo" There rnigbt wÊl? be wash over tkwaïl,pa¡;kltlarly if the sðves il€ at âû angle æ the wall- This overwasb would clear away alt nestíng

activiff ard so there y¿ould be no habiÈat. Sn a personal levd, I arl su¡e the bo*ers night ¡refer uons;tir*g siæs Ént clos to the ü¡arína, bm any ec¡hânc€ÊsßË of habitat offu isleæ to äe 6t as a spiuoff fi¡om cons*n¡ction rnigþt be as preføable an option as pæsible-

A seoond coËnrcnt h¡s to do nrith the idea sfth 60pr6 rsflectanee f,aúor ad tfue direction oftherryäyes. Ðata chwsr f,or wi¡d slnmed weighted wind di¡ectiors frorn tùe sauth *¡est and the biggest

spaight surface of u¡ave break wes also ic thzt geøreral direc¿ioa: that is ftom soutä west ûo, north ea$.

Sinæ the wat{ 1ryas in at least twa segmsnts, and drc entraner vas Ín that wall s&z¡ctu¡e, ftere \ryiü be

some u,Bsh ¿r€.rÐss the hole in the wall estrance. Many of us have uperierrced a similar siqtatiaqr at the

N3¡íonal Yacht Club in Toronùo afid once lhe wind blows, it is *lura1æ a challe*ge to ge{ boats allgnedto get througþ ftooeaperhnes. This problern isexacerbatedif útãr,, are interferenæ pdterns setup

fiorn rcflEcta*ee i¿ tfoe hole. Silrce tfuis marina witt be able to hzve larçr vessels wiå mor€ protectiol!

a&er the constn¡ction, more darqrening ratha than *ess, particutørly v'rhen atigning ùo gÞt in is be*er Itis not il*conæivable tlrs 50' bo¿b coä$d be in ttle nrarina and so thcir demands sr requirements inworst case stofins shrc: ¡ldbe consídered. I knor.r thetc have been boats lost on tfie no¡th shore of I¿kcOntario whe* they failed to negotiate gaps in break walls in rough seas- ÀmoËizing ccsts over 50

years me¿ns thaf the design ought to be as goed as it can be aow ta make the ease of enferjag and

exitir:g as pleasurable and safe as possrìble in totrglr conditions, the worst case scsta¡io. It is often

aszurned thaÊ skippers brow how tßhandlË their boat. This is not ahva¡s the casq prticular{y in

a&e¡se conditions, often because of little expaience in Îäose conditions. It is nol the usual choice Èo

go out in mugh conüítions , bt¡t ofren a necessiry ta getb:rck in whe*r caught in that situatian-

^4 third comment is on your projææd trifetime of the strccture, which *res 5CI years. \\'hile Iunderstapd tbat waves snd ice take a Êoll, and materials wear and erode, is it pe*sible to consider theprobable state of the sEuctrre at 50 years and enûertai¡ a culrenü r*ethod to rebuild orrejuvenute the

str¡cture lvith pmjected costs in2tl? dollørs? It would seem reasßTtable that if a shucture can be

dæigned to make that easier rather than more difficult, that rvould be pæf,erable. Failing thaldæigning a struchn€ to last tronger Èhan that projecfion, migå{ be beäer yet.

One ssrnrr¿ent about ice aad ib effecß- ûre solutio¡¡ to ureaken ice is to increase turbuÏence inthe rratez and so increase heat exchangs betwæfl water amd air. Using trrater frsm non-suface dopths is

warrnerthãn surface depths. Pumpingairmoves [Ess rn6ss than pmping water so aeratíon is often the

praetical soluti.on to fscilitete the process. There is a pilot program curer:tly on site just so¿¡ßI ofËrnhro, On*æio thattrses aquiet vertical wlndmill to poweran air comprcssor- This system süores airwithin a chamber afid can obviously go to pres-sures Êreater than atmospheric,. The curlent use is tothert use the air acrocs the fins of a twrbine to genera,te elecbic currents. If an air system \¡¡êre sÉsn as

nes€ssary for âce control, a consideration of a shamber incorporated info the wave bruak, wif¡ avsrtical wind mill and oornpresscr sysfern rvould certaínþ be a gretn option.

The $ast camment I will make is thø the wind data frcm tf,æ John Munro Airport is, in rnyopiniorq a very g¡oss füctor for the microclirclate sü LPMÁ.. I have had same considerable experiencewith plalrt grawth models and fheir r€qrdrsnent for qeather data to make them work reasonably well.Tte greatest challe*ge wÊs tc get applieable wertlrer data for a growing site. l{hile I understand the

scarcþ of reli,able gad accurate dafa geyreraþ and th¿t ai¡ports are usually zgsod source sf bothaecËrate and complete files, thzt are pubtricly availahle with no oosh, tlwøe naay be Marina membemwho oould gef access to data from the Can¿da Center for Inla*d Waters that would be rnore applicableand just as oomplete as the data you have choser- Having sailed ûn the boy for some tiree, it is rlst abdy of waterwith unifo¡rn winds" The Dundas valþanúihe effcsts pf,the heatsinks in the rnaterialsof tbe cilies, both tfar-øiltos and tsurlinglon" with the escarpment to bofh sides xukes for very uniqueasld rrcn-urifoûr¡ conditions- I suggest that ãryíng Èo obtaia the neost proxirnate weather dtrå ought tobe a priority in this specific case"

Description

Whv is there a need for a $Jaus bneah sÍt¡dvl

The LaSalle Park Marina is cunenily protected by a floating

wave break. The cunent systern has proven to,be insuffieient

during high urind events, resulting in damage b some boats

moored atthe Marina"

ln 2009, LPMA submited thelr Vislon 2t12 to City Council

which proposes a permanent wave break and an expanded

Marina to 32t slips plus 20 bansient slips. The key benefils ofthe proposed vision: include:

" Enhanoed fish and wüdlife habitat

' Redu€€d wave agitalion leræ[s and prewntion of damage æused by!.VAVeS

- Reduced dock infraskudr¡re weât* Dûcks rernain in place dudng the winter

Working cooperatively, the City of Burlington and LPMA have

initiated this sfudy to confirn an appropriate wave break.

LaSalle Park Marine Wave Break Class EA Summary of the August Public Information Centre and Frequently Asked Questions

Approximately 80 people attended the Public Information Centre (PIC) held for the LaSalle Park Marina Wave Break Class EA on August 21, 2012. Over 30 comment forms and letters have been received.

The study team thanks all who have participated in this project to date! The following summarizes the frequently raised comments/questions about the project and provides the study team’s response.

LaSalle Park Marina Wave Break Class EA Frequently Asked Questions – August 2012 PIC

Key Comment/Question Response • A permanent rock wall is the only solution that will protect

investments, health & safety of the boat owners, Marina staff and volunteers.

Comment noted.

• With a low crest solution, is there any concern for excessive seaweed growth? Would the circulation inside the wave break be enough to stop weed growth?

It is noted that the wave break has the potential to change water circulation regardless of the design and the result could be some algae. Algae growth happens in some locations now. Overall, water circulation is expected to be sufficient with a fixed wave break even without the low crested section. The low crested section will provide further enhancement. It is noted that the growth of aquatic vegetation is related more to the depth of the water.

• What are the provisions for additional parking demand once the wave break is constructed?

• Is the parking going to be expanded to address the increased demand for the marina as well as the launch ramp?

This EA is focusing on the wave break itself. A fixed wave break could be designed for the existing marina or an expanded marina. Should LPMA and the City decide to consider an expanded marina, additional consultation with the public will take place about issues such as parking.

• The wave break needs to be higher by at least 1-3 feet on the east side to address damaging east winds. Low crest is not acceptable.

• The wave break needs to be high enough to prevent masts from swinging. More wind break from trees, etc.

Based on the modeling undertaken for this project a crest elevation of 76.5 metres is sufficient for the fixed wave break. Further refinement and modifications can still be made in the detailed design. The wave break will reduce the size of the waves. It is not anticipated

2

LaSalle Park Marina Wave Break Class EA Frequently Asked Questions – August 2012 PIC

Key Comment/Question Response that the wave break would reduce the winds.

• Consideration should be given to making east side a little closer to land due to ice concerns.

The east side of the wave break has been left open to allow for some small boat access as well as allowing sufficient space for the resident trumpeter swans to take off and land.

• It would be nice if a small area inside the wave break could be used for radio control sail boating. Needs a minimum 2ft. depth.

It is anticipated that there would be potential for conflict if radio controlled boats are used in proximity to the marina.

• Temporary disruption to the area during construction is acceptable. Would like to see truck traffic minimized.

• Would rock be delivered by boat or truck?

We have completed investigation into materials and construction techniques and agree that the most cost effective method to bring in bulk stone materials is by water. Some materials will still need to arrive by truck but the use of water where possible will minimize the potential for negative impact on the community.

• Protection of wildlife and aquatic species is good. The opportunity to improve habitat, water and vistas is important in consideration of a solution.

Comment noted.

• Are there any yearly maintenance costs to the wave break? • What is the lifespan of the wave break?

Maintenance costs for marine structures, such as fixed wave break, are typically stated to vary between 0.5% to 1% of the capital cost on an average annual basis. We would expect the cost to maintain a fixed wave break at LaSalle Marina to be at the lower end of this range given the simplicity of the structure and relatively mild wave activity. It is anticipated that the wave break will last 50 + years.

• What percentage of the damage done to boats and/or docks might have been avoided by proper or better mooring/tying up?

It is not anticipated that mooring or tying up practices would have reduced the damaged during the storm in June 2012.

• How are “steam” impacts calculated?

The Sport Tourism Economic Assessment Model (STEAM) is a web based economic impact model managed by the Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance. Information on tourism related spending data is incorporated into the base model and information on a specific community event can be added to measure economic impact from new or recurring, spending on a community based on sporting events. In the case of the data presented at the August PIC, the data is presented as current annual discretionary spending impacts as it occurs now in the community, because the LaSalle Park Marina exists. Should the Project

LaSalle Park Marina Wave Break Class EA Frequently Asked Questions – August 2012 PIC

Key Comment/Question Response as envisioned receive a go ahead, the expanded Marina would bring increased economic impact multipliers of about 45% more per year into the community, according to the STEAM Statisticians. Further information on the STEAM model can be found at: http://canadiansporttourism.com/industry-tools/steam-sport-tourism-economic-assessment-model.html

• Navigation lights would be needed to make sure visitors know where the entrance is.

Appropriate lights and signage would be placed on the structure for navigation.

• Entrance ought to be a concave surface to reduce waves for incoming boats.

We believe that concave shapes will reflect waves to a focus point where the waves will be multiplied. We do not support this approach.

• How soon can we get it going?

This process will complete requirements under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act for the wave break. The next steps in the project will include detailed design of the wave break; applying for permits (it is anticipated that permits under the Fisheries Act and Navigable Waters Protection Act will be required); and provision of sufficient funding. Other issues such as parking have been raised during this EA and will be addressed separately once the wave break EA is completed.

lVîørins Expønsion Threøtens Fûre Trumpeter Swans

One quarter of Onfario's rare Trumpeter Swans are being threatened by a pru'pose.d r¡arinaexpansion at I"aSal[e Park [n Burlington" ûntario.

Trurnpeter s*'aîs were hunted ouË of exístesce in fhe Provinee $'ith the last one being shol atI-ong Point in 1886. Almost 100 y<ars later, in 1982, they werc reinÍroduced in the Previace byretired Ministry of Natural Resourses Biologíst[vho gatbercúa dediceted !öamaf yokmtee¡s to raise Trumpet€r Swan cygnets frcm eggs flown in fro'm B.C. and AfÊskÊ.

*Itwouldb a hagedy if these majestic birds were to disappear again," says Beverly Kingdon, a

volunteerwilhthe Ðntario TrumpeterSrvan Resloration Grou¡l {OTSRG} nho has bee*r taggingand collecËing data ore the swans, rvho overwinÈer at Lasâllê Parþ since 1993.

She notes thaÉ it has faken 30 years of dedicatdwsrk by a handfirl of yolturteers to aehieve asetrf-s¿¡staining population of tr,000 Trumpeter Swans in tfie Fnovince. To have the 2S0 plussrvaffi who åaye sslected LaSalle Pa¡k as their ideal winter bome prt in jeopardy, f,or the benefitof boaters who cor¡Id avail ürsmselves of many otherrnarina options, doesu't sitrvell u¡ith hsr"

*What has been propced will make it impossible for the sw¿r3rs to overwintff *?etrero she saysand with so n¿uch develapment ¿¡'¡¡rnd the lake, there are few other o'ptions for them.

*The most.serious threat t8 onr fiagile popularion of Trumpeter Swa¡rs iú this Prsvince is the loas

of wintering habitat to expanding fuuman populations," notes Kingdon. Urban ex¡xrsion, r,uralresidential devetoprne,nt and recreatioa often preferentia*ly oscr¡c ir and adjacent to eflrironment$prdened by waas; nauæly large, clean, salm snd prodactive waterbodies.

LaSalþ Park ftllârína - A Brief flistory

lasal&e Park Marina represents 32 years of ded¡cated hard r¡wrk by skilled vol¡.lnteers. The

Martna is the üty of Burlington's Open Public Marina, rufi by the dedícated volunteeru.cf theLaSalNe Park Ma,rina Asseciation as a not-for-pro,fit seåf-{relp entity under a Joint Venture w}ththe City, sinæ "rts creation in 1981.

TlæMariea offers greater affordabiltty aad acress tlaan many other altematives" and thr,ough

its existence rnakes possíble a nt¡mber of Community outreach programs offered by the Boat

Club [Sailingfiorthe Disabled; chãldren & ad,u[t Sailing School; Sea Cadets; to name a fewhand partnerships tfiat otherwise *¡ould nçt be possible.

The Marîna was built and paid for enti:rely by the Association without any subsidy.

Because of the Marina, fish ar*d witdl?fe popuNations have increased tl*ere and the Rernedial

Action Flan have noted that fact. As have the rare aquatic plants that are now found atLaSalle whictr have increased dramatical:þ since we buiût the rnarina.

The swans feed on those plants along wlth a number of other species.

laSal f e Park ltrlarina - First Try fnuitonmenta] Award Wlnner

We are friends of the environment, vråich ls why we were tre first Manina anywhere to winthe Green Leaf Top Environrnental 5 Anchcr Award presented at CclW and attended by boththe Federal and Prorrincial trvlinisters of the Environment.

The Proposed Project is under a High Lwel Envîronrnental Åssessrnent.

It has and willcontinue to be a very open Public process.

Vision 21Jt2is intendedto be a Safe flarbour on many levels. envlronmentalhabitat being

one of the nrost key. Enhancîng bíodiversitV is an :important component.

The Proposal is a synergy projedt.

We have presented publicly at ãbeut a dszen Open Gty Csuùìcil rneetings since 2ffi9, as rr¡ell

es to other Groups includlng ttre Walerfront Comtnittee.

This is why there is an Environvnental Ass€ssrrlent to balance tl-*e merits of the case"

life like mute swans; trurnpete,r swans; tents; gulls; ducks; geese; and anyand allof god's

creatures. There is room for all.

Marinas can ir¡deed be rnade and operated in srynergistic coexistence with all creatures

{whethertheV walk, f}y, or swim!, for the benefËt of alÍ.

LaSalle Park Marina has proven that fact.

We are proud of our reoord.

That is why we deliberately named the pmposal from the outset in 2(H:

Uision 201e - Th€ Sigger P-rcü¡rq The Cøse þr a Fermanent *d¡ Islond Frsh & W¡IdrileIlabûtnt Wovebçeøker øt lntuIle.

Or.lr goal is a Safe Ha,rbour an many levels.

We trust ln the process as the EnvÌronmeat¿t Assessment evo&ves- We at LPMA have very

strongenvironmental credenüals, an et(cellent trark record and arefetlowi*rg proper EA

protocols.

The last thing we or aßyone want te see ar€ any losers.

The'Proposal is intended to significantly increase fisrì & wild*ife llabitat at LaSallq enhance

biodiuersÏty, at the sãfrle t¡rne providing a nruch needed allweathe¡ Safe Harbor¡r.

It is intended to be in harmony w¡th the goafs of the Hamilton Harbour&trlllatershed

Fistreries Management Han {Minlstryof Natt¡ral Resouroes & RB€} to increase habitat.

We want to sæ this project done right for the benelit of alL including the swans"

LPMA fear¡es the science to the scientists, apd the details to the EA Process.

AGENDA ITEMS ACTIONS

1. Welcome and Introductions

All attendees introduced themselves and indicated the organization they represent

Karen provided a brief overview of purpose of meeting

The main purpose is to provide an understanding of Vision 2012 and to obtain support from agencies

Want to obtain feedback from agencies as EA will need to be completed for the project, staff will be reporting to City Council in near future and

there are funding opportunities to be investigated

Vision 2012 identifies the need for a permanent wave break due to wave agitation in LaSalle Marina with floating wave break

Contact sheet was circulated for attendees to provide information

2. Presentation – John Birch

John Birch provided a power point presentation on Vision 2012 – The Bigger Picture – The Case for a Permanent Rock Island Fish & Wildlife Habitat Wavebreaker at LaSalle (presentation attached).

John provided the following information:

Described situations of damaging wave action in the marina

LPMA has had 2 floating wave breaks and the current system was installed in 1998

Wave break committee struck in 1999 to assess wave agitation

HCCL retained to look at wave agitation levels and options to remediate the situation

LPMA operates in partnership with the City of Burlington

Preferred option of Vision 2012 is B – permanent wave break for enlarged marina

LPMA wants input from stakeholders regarding Vision 2012

Docks and wave break are removed from the water each year and stored on the LaSalle Pier. Vision 2012 would have Marina docks remaining in place year round.

John reviewed two handouts indicating the location of the marina and a concept of what the marina may look like with a permanent wave break

3. Questions and Answers Question regarding removing docks and wave heights – John replied LPMA removes docks in the winter to avoid ice damage and waves can get to 4.75 feet from the SE and SW

May have to consider dredging at some time if permanent wave break is installed as some marinas experience infilling on a regular basis

Sediment creates fish habitat and then dredging eliminates it

John indicated that LPMA has never had to dredge LaSalle Marina as the water is relatively

deep

Modeling has been done in previous research that can be referenced

Adding a permanent wave break will alter water circulation

Entrance to LaSalle Marina is relatively deep compared to other marinas

It was suggested that wave analysis and current analysis will need to be done and RAP may have some of this research. When constructing the east promontory and island chain, the contractor found there was a strong current. Some species are taking advantage of the above water configurations which needs to be considered going forward.

LPMA is a 5 Anchor Award winner – John described the marina’s attributes that contributed to this award (spill protocol, notifications, waste disposal, etc)

Need to determine how this obstruction (permanent wave break) is safe for all boaters

Design the wave break to minimize impact on shoreline

Island developed to the west of the marina was designed to reduced movement of water

East islands were developed to encourage growth of habitat

Biologist would need to identify benefits to habitat and opportunities

4. Roundtable Discussion 5. Specifics from each shareholder on design

requirements, EA expectations, feasibility, support, etc.

John Hall (RAP)

LPMA is an organization that can manage this type of project

RAP speaks to no further infill in the harbor unless it accomplishes remediation. How does this project fit in relation to this?

RAP will be involved with this project and it needs to be assessed based on today’s information and research versus information from 1990

John will see what reports he can find that are relevant to this project

Consulting process is expensive, takes time and the EA is required to deal with a number of areas including above water wildlife

Support in principle, providing environmental considerations above and below water line are

included in design process

Sue MacDonald and Wayne Atkins (TC)

Transport Canada only deals with navigation and protects the public’s rights to safe navigation

Has the marina been approved under the Navigable Protection Act?

Do not see any issues related to navigation

Need to determine the parts of the act that apply including aboriginal consultation

So far see no reasons to deny this application pending EA report

Bruce Morrison (MNR)

Changes to hydrology and fish species need to be considered

New plan for water levels should be considered

If not federal EA then need to address provincial water quality and species at risk

No major concerns with the project and in support of the EA process

Non-desired birds may impact other species

Stepped break wall facing outwards may be beneficial

Teresa Labuda (CH)

Permanent wave break may create a sediment problem as suspended solids may settle as seen in some marinas. Need to consider this in design

Supportive of this project as it is a consolidated project as opposed to dealing with individual boaters, and agrees that next step is to enter into EA process

The depth of water in the marina is a benefit

It’s too early for engineering comments

Rick Kiriluk (DFO)

His organization protects fish habitat. This project destroys fish habitat although some habitat may be offset

Rick needs to consult with fisheries manager

EA process will determine how the project will proceed, scope and scale be determined

Fisheries Act authorization will be required but infill is clear destruction

Policy speaks to net gain and this can be monitored and assessed

Will provide parameters for the project

Habitat alternatives assessment tool will be

utilized

Suggestion to use Aquatic Habitat Toronto as a resource

Rick will speak to RAP, M&R, RBG and Fisheries Management

DFO Science should be involved as well

Project will fall under the auspices of Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and involve aboriginal and public consultation

Will most likely be a federal EA and with multiple agencies involved, need to determine which agency will take lead role

Important to ensure harmonization amongst multiple agencies

Consultant would manage the EA and will expedite the process

Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency should be contacted, John will provide a contact

Samantha Mason (CH)

Water quality is an important consideration in this project

Goal is to prevent chemical use to control water plants

Design to be self-sustaining

When creating habitat, look at specific species in reference to the Species at Risk Act

Ian Hamilton (HPA)

HPA is supportive of the concept of an expanded marina

City needs to renew lease for water lots

HPA will be involved in the EA in some capacity Marilyn Baxter will be HPA’s contact for this

project

6. Other Business

7. Next Steps Agencies identified support for the project but there is an need for continued dialogue

Report to City of Burlington Council to seek approval for support of the EA process

Steering Committee will be formed from this group to work through the EA process, requirement would be to meet every two months

Technical Committee will be formed to review technical aspects and parameters for EA and meet every 6 months

Will be looking for volunteers for these two committees and will confirm time commitment for each committee

Lorne Newton (LPMA), Bruce Morrison, Ian Hamilton

Notes:

Following introductions, Karla provided an overview of the project and the steps

required to meet the Municipal Class EA process and the Canadian Environmental

Assessment Act.

Input on the project was obtained from those in attendance including their perspective

on the wave break and required approvals. The following points were raised.

LPMA

There has been serious damage to boats in the marina during extreme wind events. The

LPMA set up a committee to discuss marina protection and commissioned the Hall

Report which suggested a permanent rock wave break as the best long term solution.

Tires used to provide a good wave break but collected sediment and zebra mussels

which reduced floatation and they were awkward to remove every year. Maintenance

is a key ongoing expense for the Marina.

Having to remove the dock and keep them on the pier is an eyesore, is labour intensive,

and leaves them subject to vandalism.

2

The wind comes from all directions in the Harbour. The wind climate is locally

influenced by the Niagara Escarpment. They are also seeing more south wind events.

This needs to be taken into consideration when determining which wind monitoring

data to use in the assessment.

LMPA is concerned for the environment; don’t want to see reduction in water quality as

a result of the wave break.

There is lots of personal experience within the marina members; could organize a

meeting so that they can provide their insight and knowledge on things like winds and

ice.

Safe access to the wave break is important for maintenance and bird control.

Ice is a significant concern for a floating system.

MNR

Looking for net benefit to fisheries and a net gain in habitat.

Need to recognize issue with Cormorants. Suggest finding ways to make it less desirable

for these birds. It was agreed that the design should minimize the promotion of invasive

species such as gobies. It was noted that Cormorants will roost on a floating wave break

but will nest on a fixed wave break; however, bird challenges are an issue for the whole

harbour and their presence/absence will not significantly be influenced by the type of

wave break.

Need to fit into the RAP restoration objectives and Fisheries Management Plan

objectives.

MNR has data on exising fish population. Bruce can provide methodology and results.

DFO also has data on fisheries which can be obtained through Christine Brusso at DFO.

The data is for Hamilton Harbour – not necessarily specific to LaSalle Marina area.

May need federal and/or provincial species at risk permits.

Conservation Halton

Will need Fisheries Act authorization for a fixed breakwater as well as a CA permit.

Will be looking for a net gain in productive fish habitat.

Need to consider: algae growth; increased sedimentation of area once closed in;

potential for excessive plant growth within an enclosed area and resulting boating

safety; will need to think outside the box to reduce long term maintenance issues.

John noted that the marina is very deep and has never had an issue with plant growth.

Conservation Halton has fish community data specific to the North Shore and will be

starting a second season of monitoring this year. Conservation Halton data focuses

3

more on shallower water near shore communities (e.g. up to 6 ft) whereas MNR

sampled in deeper water.

The need for Public Lands Act approval and Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act permit

was discussed and needs to be confirmed as it is a federal water lot.

Conservation Halton will have a review team for this project with an environmental

planner (Jane Devito) coordinating input as well as an engineer (Theresa Labuda).

If compensation is needed a possible area of focus includes Grindstone Creek, which has

a Fish Habitat Management Plan.

Hamilton Port Authority

Maximize ecological benefit by minimizing cost, ecological footprint, and invasive

species such as gobies and zebra mussels.

Other marinas have used sunken boats – this could be one of the ways to think outside

the box.

HPA owns the bottom of the Harbour. The City will need to make a formal request to

HPA who will review the engineering drawings.

Need to consider adaptive management; can’t be driven solely by engineering

specifications.

Hamilton Conservation Authority has jurisdiction for the Harbour. They do not allow

filling within the Harbour unless it is for environmental reasons. It can be a time

consuming approval process.

Information and Contacts

It was noted that there is lots of available information in the BARC library.

There is a new water level study underway. Public outreach will begin on the study

soon.

Suggested that Chip Weseloh at the Canadian Wildlife Service be contacted.

Suggested that Hamilton Conservation Authority be contacted.

The local Councillor Rick Craven has received calls regarding odours associated with

Cormorants.

Schedule

Conservation Halton would like to look at documentation and designs before they go to

the public. Conservation Halton review time requests – 6 weeks for the initial draft; 4

weeks for the second draft.

4

It was suggested that LPMA be involved in reviewing the information that goes to the

public.

Hamilton Port Authority just reviews drawings – 4 weeks requested.

Should be a meeting/review with agencies prior to the 2nd public information centre.

The timing of decisions and clarity on who makes the decisions should be highlighted on

the schedule.

Public Input and Next Steps

A notice of commencement for the project is being prepared.

The first public information centre is proposed for May 2012.

Information about the project will be placed on the Projects and Initiatives page of the

City web site http://cms.burlington.ca/Page150.aspx here is the link although the

project has not been included yet

Action Items:

Mark and Milo to list the reports they have received from RAP and elsewhere and

distribute to those in attendance so guidance on missing information can be provided.

Karla and Doug to revise the schedule to send with the meeting notes.

Mark to contact the Canadian Wildlife Service and the Hamilton Conservation Authority.

Samantha to provide written comments on the meeting handouts and notes.

John to assist in distributing project information to the LPMA members.

Dillon to review Species at Risk websites and consult with DFO and MNR regarding

Species at Risk.

Dillon to request more recent fish community data from DFO, Conservation Halton

(Andrea Dunn) and MNR.

BurlÍnffiDraft Notice of Commencement - Ver ILaSalle Park Marina Wave Break Study

City of Burlington

The City of Burlington has¡n¡tiated a study of the wavebreak used lo protect theLaSalle Park Marina. Locatedat the foot of LaSalle ParkRoad, the Marina is home to theLaSalle Park MarinaAssociation and the BurlingtonSailing and Boating Club. ltalso houses a public launchramp and is one of the onlyaccessible marinas in HamiltonHarbour. A floating wave breakis currently used to protectboals in the Marina from wavesin the harbour. The currentsystem has proven to beinsufficient during high windevents and the resull has beendamage to some of the boatsmoored at lhe Marina.

The study is intended to evaluate different ways to manage the waves at the LaSalle Park Marinaincluding consideration of a fixed wave break or a new improved floating wave break.

The study area is located in west Burlington and is generally bounded by the edge of LaSalle Park in theeast, Aldershot Place/Townsend Avenue in the north, Fairwood Place West in the west, and Lake Ontario(Burlington Bay-Hamilton Harbour) in the south (ref. Key Plan).

A key component of the study will be consultation with interested stakeholders (residents, landowners,LaSalle Park Marina and Burlington Sailing and Boating Club members, and regulatory agencies). APublic lnformation Centre (PlC) will be held to provide ínterested parties with an opportunity to review anddiscuss issues related to the study. Details regarding the forthcoming Public lnformation Centre will beadvertìsed as the study progresses.

The study will be conducted in compliance with the Municipal Engineers Association "Municipal ClassEnvironmental Assessment,"(October 2000, as amended June 2007). The project will be carried out as a"Schedule C" proiect and will address all Phases oî the Class Environmental Assessment Process.

We are interested in hearing any comments or input that you may have about this study. Comments andinformatÍon regarding the study are being collecled to assist the City of Burlington in meeting therequirements of the Provincial Environmental Assessment Act. Residents are encouraged to provide theirinput regarding the existing wave break and any known information about waves and ice in this area ofHamilton Harbour.

Notes:

Following introductions, Karla provided an overview of the project and the steps that

have been undertaken to meet the Municipal Class EA process. Karla overviewed:

o Evaluation criteria.

o Options for alternative solutions and the preferred alternative solution.

o Design alternatives for the preferred alternative solution and the preferred

option.

Milo reviewed the wave dynamics at the LaSalle Park Marina.

Jen provide an overview of the 2012 natural environment field studies undertaken for

the project and the fish and wildlife considerations being incorporated into the project.

Generally all in attendance were positive about the opportunities a fixed breakwater

provided. It was noted that a similar proposal was part of the pier and shoals

constructed by RAP but not constructed due to budget restrictions.

2

Input on the project was obtained from those in attendance including their perspective

on the wave break and implications for fish and wildlife. The following points were

raised:

Fisheries - MNR

Looking for net benefit to fisheries and a net gain in habitat.

Need to incorporate the Lake Ontario/Hamilton Harbour Fisheries Management Plan

objectives.

MNR has been working to restore cisco in the lake. This project may work towards

creating habitat for this species. Suggestion was to fill gaps between large rock (armour

stone, large rip-rap) with gravel to enhance habitat.

MNR prefers the aquatic habitat shelf to be on the outside of the breakwater where it

can potentially provide a benefit to cisco. Habitat features at 3 m depth would be ideal.

Fisheries – DFO

DFO is focused on fish habitat. Any in-fill proposed in the Great Lakes must be run

through the Habitat Alteration Assessment Tool (HAAT). However, it was cautioned that

HAAT may not be the right tool for this project as it favours littoral, wetland habitat.

Given the characteristics of this area it is anticipated that the HAAT may show a

decrease in habitat as a result of the project. This does not necessarily mean DFO

approval will not be provided but will push the focus on the diversity of habitat creation

and how well it meets MNR Fish Management objectives.

Key to habitat creation will be diversity in structure. Suggestions included “step down”

side slopes (outer side of breakwater) to create areas for gravel, cobble and boulder

substrate, flat areas for spawning. Create pockets in the breakwater that will naturally

collect material in the harbour.

General RAP- Fisheries

This project creates an unique opportunity to create shoal habitat on the outside of the

fixed breakwater.

Important to implement as much habitat diversity as possible.

Need to clearly show benefits to the natural environment to meet the recommendation

of RAP. The RAP states there should be no infill unless it’s for a RAP project. Goal

should be to strongly tie the project needs to the remedial actions of the Fish and

Wildife Committee.

3

General RAP- Aquatic Environment

Be cautious of the potential for a sheltered area to increase blue-green algae blooms or

Cladophora growth. Blue-green algae and aquatic vegetation tends to get caught up at

shoreline, etc.

When the initial habitat restoration occurred at LaSalle Park, it was found there was a

good current along the LaSalle shoreline.

Murray mentioned that the harbour has a tendency to become anoxic about 2-7 m from

the surface during the summer.

Victor and Murray questioned if the low crest section was necessary as circulation is

rather good in the area. They suggested that the need for circulation be critically

reviewed. It is good practice to have the low crest section to enhance circulation but it

should not be suggested that it needs to be there if in fact there is no issue. Suggested

speaking with scientists at CCIW (Dr. Irabandi) who have done studies on circulation in

the harbour. F.M. Bois did drogue studies in the harbour in the late 80’s, early 90’s.

General RAP- Birds

None of their avian biologists were able to attend. Suggestion was to contact Dave

Moore to discuss benefits of breakwater to birds such as Common Terns and Herring

Gulls as well as how to deter nuisance species (i.e., cormorants and ring-billed gulls).

Bird habitat on the breakwater crest may need an active management plan.

Suggestions also include speaking with Ralph Morris at Brock University, Bob Curry

(Hamilton Naturalist Club) or Jim Quinn.

Suggestion was made by RAP to consider an undulating breakwater crest that would

appear to form “islands” and may create more isolated habitat potential for birds.

Overall, it was acknowledged that bird ecology may be a challenge to incorporate.

While the effort of the local group to restore Trumpeter Swans was acknowledged, RAP

strongly suggested we seek additional expertise for this species and the potential

interactions with this project. There was a divergence in opinions on how the swans

should be considered.

Good Moming All,

The folks running the swan program at Wye Marsh replied with the email below in response to inquiries about

their bubblers and about the space requirements of trumpeter swans. On the consenatirc side, they suggestthat 600 sq. ft. is appropriate for 4 adult swans (equal to an area per swan of 150 sq. ft. or 14 m2l.

See below for information related to their experience with bubblers. As Karla mentioned yesterday, I think for

today should continue to communicate we are still inr,estigating the bubblers and ice issues.

Please let me know if you harc any follow-up questions.

Thanks,Jen

Hello Jen

Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information. I hale tried to address all the questions you asked as

best I can.

Ourarea is approximately 2 acres. lt is mostly Írozen. Our Bubblers of which we haw many - both air powered

and water powered - keep an area of approxim ately 20 feet by 30 feet open. Cunently we hale 3 bubblers running

https://rnail.google.con/nBil/u/0/?ui=2&ileebecc304c8&vier¡ìFpt&search=inbox&th=13c1Í81224b8r,il+r' 1t3

1l2ll13 DillonConsulting Mail -Swanlnforrnationfrom\lrôreMarsh

- we ha\e two more that we rotate through as we hare problems with the others. lt is important to consider thenoise created by an air compressor if you are going to utilize air based bubblers (the noise afiects the Swansability to communicate with one another). lt is also important to haw an emergency plan for when the bubblers

ercntually fail. We haw had this happen in the past and harc had to spend hours chipping away at the ice inorder to #1 access the malfunctioning bubbler, and #2 create open water for the bubblers to make larger oler afew days of operating.

Our area is not big enough. We hale numerous fights and tenitorial battles that happen. We provide what I call aREST STOP for the swans.

ldeal wintering habitat for swans would be shallow, with awilable regetation on the substrate, open water and at

least of a radius of 100m (as l'w read this is the approximate distance required for a swan to take ofi).

Our swans (anywhere from I to 50 in a day) "stop in and fuel up" before they continue their flight to winteringhabitat - or fry out to rest on the frozen neaby lakes/ponds. Most of the time we ne\ er haw more than 20 swansfor any greater lhan 2 hours as our area does not hale enough space in order for the swans to feel

UNSTRESSED and relaxed enough to be comfortable - and so I would ne\er recommend that a wintering habitatcould be this small.

How big is the ideal space? I think that our area would be ideal for 1 family of 6 or 4 adults. I would not put any

Monday about Common Tems and Hening Gulls was also really positiw about the project and excited about theopportunity to use the structure for nesting Common Tems and Hening Gulls. He is optimistic about the

structure being able to attract these birds (with a little help such as nesting boxes and/or calls being broadcastedto attract)and dissuade species like cormorants. Darc did not see the wawbreak being attractiw to cormorants

due to lack of regetation on the crest and an owrall sense that they would not nest at this location.

Re: Comments on LaSalle Park Marina Breakwater Class Environmental

Assessment Preliminary Draft City of Burlington

Dear Ms. De Vito:

The project team appreciates your comments on the Draft Environmental Study

Report for the LaSalle Park Marina breakwater. The team has prepared draft

responses to each of your comments for discussion at our meeting on April 12, 2013.

Each comment and its respective response is listed in the table below:

Number Comment Response

General Comments

1 We note that the current preliminary draft has removed the option of protecting the existing marina and now only looks at the option of an expanded marina. No justification has been provided for the need for an expanded marina. In addition, an assessment of the additional infrastructure and ancillary uses (e.g. parking, washrooms, restaurant and clubhouse facilities) associated with an expansion should be prepared.

The focus of this EA is the protection of the LaSalle Park Marina. Improved protection is needed for the current marina due to repeated incidents of boat damage during storms. However, LPMA has expressed desires to expand the marina primarily to address funding requirements for this marina protection as well as meeting demand. Thus, an expanded marina was assumed for the purpose of the Class EA. Expansion would include the addition of docks and boat slips. There is no intention of expanding the current clubhouse or adding restaurant facilities. The City is currently reviewing operational improvements to the parking lot; it will not be physically expanded. The City may consider the option of using portable washroom facilities during the boating season should they be necessary. It should be noted that

operations usually associated with a commercial marina (e.g. boat repair, equipment sales) have never been contemplated for LaSalle.

2 A discussion regarding how the proposed work will affect public access and enjoyment of the waterfront and waterfront activities (e.g. viewing of the lake, recreational fishing, sunbathing, swimming etc.) should be discussed as part of the evaluation of the alternatives in the EA document.

The effect on public access and enjoyment is addressed in the evaluation criteria “limit impact to the community”. It is also discussed in Sections 4.3, 5.3.2 and 6. The focus in these sections is the opportunity to enjoy the pier for passive recreation including fishing and improved views. It is noted that neither the beach or pier is appropriate for swimming or sunbathing as there is a considerable amount of wildlife in the area. These activities are supported elsewhere in the Park (on the splash pad). It should be noted that presently, the docks are currently stored on the pier over the winter. With a permanent breakwater, the docks will no longer be stored on the pier, therefore enhancing access to the pier and parking as well as providing an improved view of the area. We will review the report to confirm that we have appropriately highlighted potential effects on public access and enjoyment.

3 Relevant information that characterizes the location of the proposed breakwater (based on existing studies and any additional data collected through this EA) should be brought forward and summarized so that the potential impacts can be defined.

The existing conditions have been described based on previous studies, data provided by relevant agencies and stakeholders and through information collected as part of this EA. The project team made a concerted effort to engage agencies and seek feedback during the EA process and to obtain information.

4 While the evaluation criteria have been identified, there is a lack of any scientific/technical assessment to

5 Information pertaining to Phase 3 of the EA process “Detail inventory of natural, social and economic environment” has not been undertaken to a satisfactory extent with respect to fish habitat, fish communities, zooplankton, aquatic invasive species and the zooplankton, phytoplankton, aquatic vegetation and algae communities present within the study area.

We believe we have collected an appropriate amount of information to assist in the decision making process associated with comparing alternatives as well as the determination of potential effects of the project and proposed mitigation.

6 Detailed information about the existing water quality at the proposed wave break area needs to be included in the EA document with extra detail provided regarding anoxia and hypoxia conditions. It is questionable why water quality and erosion were not tangibly assessed under “Improvement to Habitat”.

The RAP demonstrates improvement to local water quality. The issues of sediment sources and conditions of hypoxia or anoxia in the harbour are amply covered in the RAP. They are linked to much greater issues of waste water treatment plants in Hamilton and Burlington which are not specific to this site. Further, past erosion of the park area has been stabilized as a result of restoration that took place in the late 1990s.

7 Please clarify what status the Vision 2012 document has with respect to endorsement from the review agencies.

Vision 2012 is a position paper prepared by the LaSalle Park Marina Association. It does not have any official endorsement from review agencies.

8 It is preferred that the wave break structure and marina expansion be self-compensating or of a net benefit to fish and wildlife habitat in situ. A final design that will be acceptable to the HCA and CH will clearly demonstrate a net environmental benefit to Hamilton Harbour.

At this stage in the process, we cannot confirm the final extent of the proposed habitat shelf or any additional off-site compensation that may be needed. As noted in the draft report, the City and LPMA proposes to address the potential destruction or disruption to fish habitat through the development of an aquatic shelf

and/or other compensation. The extent of the habitat creation required will be determined during detailed design. At that point we will engage DFO and CH and HCA to discuss the specific wave break design and the requirements for a Fisheries Act authorization. We will consider the preference of the Conservation Authorities for a self-compensating solution.

9 Additional reference to the Hamilton Harbour Fisheries Management Plan and the Hamilton Harbour Remedial Action Plan is requested including detailed information about how the proposed wave break meets the objectives of both the FMP and the Hamilton Harbour RAP.

We believe the references to the Hamilton Harbour Fisheries Management Plan and RAP are sufficient within the document. Information regarding how the proposed breakwater meets the objectives of the FMP and RAP are detailed in Section 3, 4.3. 5.3 and 6.

10 As the proposed location for the breakwater is well off the north shore of Hamilton Harbour and within the HCA watershed, should the EA be filed and the project approved to proceed to detailed design, the breakwater will require regulatory approval from our agency pursuant to ‘ Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Ontario Regulation 161/06’.

As noted in Section 8 of the draft document, we agree that further discussion is required during detailed design on CH/HCA regulatory approval requirements.

11 HCA staff suggests using the Lake Ontario fish community species (Table 1) as it contains one more species (Lake Whitefish) that is a target species in the Hamilton Harbour Fisheries Management Plan and it assumes that there is nothing preventing the entry or use by Lake Whitefish in Hamilton Harbour. We also suggest using the Lake Ontario species list as there is a less drastic change in the overall weighted suitable habitat

We note that the description of the HAAT modelling results is different than what was provided to us by DFO. The results of the HAAT model are preliminary in nature and will be refined once detailed design is completed for the project. We have noted your concerns with the parameters selected for the model and will further discuss them with all appropriate parties during detailed design.

(WSA) between the high and low water levels and therefore less potential for impact to the fisheries over time if water levels do fluctuate between high and low values. Using the Hamilton Harbour fish species list, there is a drastic change in the overall weighted suitable habitat (WSA) between the high and low water levels used and therefore potential for greater impact to the fisheries over time if water levels do fluctuate between high and low. This could result in an unstable fishery. Due to the potential impact of climate change, we would recommend erring on the side of caution and selecting the lower water level of 74.2m (scenario 2), comparing scenario 2 with scenario 4, scenario 2 has a less overall negative impact.

12 The side slopes of the wave break are steeper than any natural habitat types that would be found in Lake Ontario and are not likely to provide spawning habitat for salmonid fish species.

The target species, as discussed with DFO and the MNR, for the rocky side slopes are Lake Whitefish and Cisco. These fish deposit their eggs freely over rocky substrate (i.e., open substratum spawners) and are nonguarders. The provision of interstitial spaces between rocks is noted for the side slopes to function as spawning habitat.

Specific Comments

13 Figure 8: Standard Fixed Breakwater Cross Section (page 26): The side slopes on the cross section of the fixed breakwater would provide little habitat for fish due to the steep side slopes, especially upslope where the shelves are present.

14 Section 4.2 Evaluation Criteria and Methodology (page 28): There is concern that long term impacts associated with the presence of fixed sections of a wave break (Alternatives 1 and 3) on water quality, sediment transport, and the growth and presence of aquatic plants have not been adequately modeled. Water quality and sediment transport should be modeled for a period longer than the life of the project as stated in the EA report. It is suggested that the modeling be undertaken to forecast water quality and sediment transport conditions for a period of at least 75 to 100 years following the construction of the wave break structure.

As indicated in the draft report, wind and wave modeling was completed as part of the EA. In addition, sediment transport studies for Hamilton Harbour were considered (Baird, 1996) and they indicated that sediment transport rates are only in the order of 300 m3 per year. Actual transport rates, which are supply limited, are considerably lower as evident from the lack of littoral deposits against the existing shoreline structures. Water quality was taken into consideration in the evaluation of alternative breakwater configurations. Comments regarding aquatic plants are discussed in our response to Question 15. We do not believe it is reasonable to request 75 to 100 year modelling of water quality and sediment transport conditions. The results of such forecasting would be driven by wind and wave action which can’t be accurately extrapolated over such a long period of time.

15 Table 1 Evaluation Criteria (page 29):

Water quality in and around the new structure post construction and also a period of 75+ years post construction has not been evaluated.

Impacts to coastal processes including sediment transport have not been included.

nuisance vegetation communities and we do not anticipate the need for their removal. Should this be required, a plan will be developed to address this issue.

16 Alternative 1 (page 31): Please add the information pertaining to the effect of this alternative on fish communities and fish habitat. Please describe what the long term effects of this alternative would be on sediment movement, sediment accumulation, water circulation and water quality in the vicinity of the breakwater. Please be clear and practical about the feasibility of the use of a floating silt curtain. If this is not a feasible mitigation measure, this needs to be clarified and a truly feasible approach to preventing siltation during construction needs to be clearly identified for any alternative chosen.

The effects of this alternative on fish communities and fish habitat has been discussed on page 30 of the draft EA document. Please refer to our response to Question 14 on water quality and sediment transport. The use of a silt curtain during construction is feasible in this area since it is not subjected to breaking waves of the same magnitude as is observed in the open water of Lake Ontario. The waves in this area are relatively small (less than 1m in height). We generally do not anticipate needing to use a silt curtain as we expect the material used for the breakwater will be clean fill. A final decision as to the need for a silt curtain will be made during detailed design.

17 Table 2: Evaluation Summary (page 36):

Staff do not agree that Option 1 of a new fixed breakwater should be ranked first because long term sedimentation, water quality and vegetation growth patterns have not been modelled for this alternative.

The cross section provided for the fixed breakwater that would comprise all or parts of Alternatives 1 and 3 would provide little in the way of fish habitat because of the steep side slopes.

Table 2 is incomplete as such; an

evaluation of short and long term impacts to water quality, sediment transport and aquatic vegetation growth patterns, and the potential need for impacts of vegetation management need to be evaluated.

Table 2 is meant to supplement the written discussion in Section 4, and summarize the more detailed evaluation table that is presented in Appendix C. Please see response to Question 14 regarding additional information about water quality, sediment transport, etc. Note that to date, the LPMA has not had any issues with nuisance vegetation and vegetation management protocols have not been required (to be confirmed).

18 Section 5.3.1 Low-Crested Standard Breakwater (page 41): It is noted in this Section that “Through consultation, it was determined the inclusion of the low-crested section of the breakwater would be beneficial to circulation in the harbour once the breakwater is installed.” Please provide detailed information about the consultation undertaken regarding the low crested breakwater and the technical data reviewed as part of this consultation.

This feature was presented as part of the preferred alternative during the second PIC. The comments received after the second PIC expressed support for the preferred alternative. During a discussion with the MNR at the PIC, they also indicated support for the low-crested section of the breakwater.

19 Section 6 Preferred Breakwater Concept: Sect. 6.1 Conceptual Breakwater Drawings (page 47): It is noted that the aquatic habitat shelf will be widened on the Harbour side of the breakwater. Please provide the width and length of the shelf on the both sides of the breakwater. Please provide a preliminary indication of the substrate type on the shelves on both sides of the breakwater. Please indicate how many metres of the circumference around the break wall will not contain a fish habitat shelf. Please quantify the square area of the fish habitat shelf.

The proposed aquatic shelf is discussed in Section 6 of the report. The details related to the exact measurement and material diameters for the shelf will be determined during detailed design.

Introduction:

Samantha Mason is unable to attend the meeting; discussion regarding some of her comments

may need to be deferred.

Karla gave an introduction to the meeting, including some background information on how the

project has gone to date. She explained that the team is hoping to finish the EA portion of the

project and have it posted on the EBR for 30-day review by the end of April. Work that is still

outstanding is detailed design, acquisition of funding, etc. The comments provided by the CAs

fall into three main categories: those that will be addressed during detailed design, those the

team feels have already been adequately addressed in the text of the report, and those to be

discussed at the meeting today. The items the team believes are most important for discussion

today are: the scope of the project (marina expansion), water quality, sedimentation and

associated vegetation growth and monitoring periods.

Marina Expansion:

Karla clarified the term marina “expansion”

o additional docks but no changes to on-shore facilities are anticipated (ACTION: Dillon to

confirm with LPMA regarding number of access points required with the addition of

more docks)

o The City is undertaking an operational review of parking to see if they can

accommodate more vehicles on the pier but no physical expansion is planned.

The CAs are concerned that all aspects of the potential breakwater have not been considered.

o They would have expected to see information on the rationale for an expanded marina

(including feasibility studies), and consideration of the impacts of the expansion as part

of the evaluation and assessment of effects. (ACTION: Dillon to identify opportunities

to improve the explanation of the marina expansion and how it relates to the problem

statement, alternatives considered and will include consideration of effects such as

potential community impacts associated with additional vehicle traffic that might

result from an expanded marina and breakwater combination).

o It was noted that the installation of a breakwater for the existing marina was shown at

one of the PICs as an alternative solution and it is not clear why that was not carried

through in the report. Karla clarified that this was not meant as an alternative but

rather a visual reference to show that the breakwater alternatives could be

implemented for the existing or expanded marina. The expanded marina was used to

evaluate and assess impacts as it represented the “worst case” scenario. (ACTION:

Dillon to clarify in text)

ACTION: Dillon to contact Teresa for further discussion on EA process.

Lorn provided additional background information on the marina. The marina has been owned by

the City since 1981 and LPMA is a volunteer organization. Prior to the Harbour Commission

removing mooring buoys in the harbour, boats covered much more physical space than they

would if the expansion took place. The LPMA and the City have done economic studies and

impact analysis on the surrounding area and the reason for expansion is primarily economic.

Vision 2012 outlines some of these studies. [A copy of Vision 2012 was sent to the CAs]. It was

noted that the marina currently gets upwards of 150 requests per year for more slips. A better

breakwater is needed to protect boats regardless of marina size It is not economically viable to

spend the money to enclose the existing 200 slips; additional slips are required to make the

breakwater affordable.

Lorn clarified that LPMA is looking for funding from Marina users, the City, the province and the

Canada Build program. LPMA can’t get revenue for their portion of the cost without more slips.

The City would make the application for the Canada Build portion of funding.

John Hall noted the importance of emphasis on the enhancement of fish and wildlife habitat as

one of the purposes of the fixed breakwater. From the RAP community perspective, there is

concern about any filling in the harbor unless it is for habitat creation. The team should be

careful to ensure that the public benefits and that benefit for fish and wildlife are front and

center in the report. The team should revisit purpose statement to include habitat benefits.

Water quality, sediment transport and aquatic vegetation modeling:

The CAs believe that approx. 400m of solid breakwater is very significant construction and

suggest that 5 fundamental analyses should be done through modeling: wave diffraction and

refraction, wave transmission, harbour oscillations, currents, and flashing and circulation. The

question of what marina standards need to be followed was also asked. Milo indicated that all

the modeling was done with the exception of circulation and flashing. With regards to

standards, the basic standard is a 1 ft. wave maximum within a basin. The layout of all the

alternatives was based on this. (ACTION: Milo to send CH modeling information)

Water circulation and water quality were discussed and the team indicated that overall,

additional modeling would not affect the EA decision making process. Milo provided the

following rationale for not including circulation modeling at this time.

o the project wouldn’t create any contaminants, and only small turbidity would occur

during construction due to depth and construction process selected therefore the

breakwater itself would not have significant water quality impact

o The breakwater does not entirely enclose the marina and water will still circulate but we

have acknowledged that circulation is reduced with a fixed breakwater option. This is

already considered in our evaluation of alternatives

o Even if we were to model circulation and find that retention time is increased by a

specific factor, we have no way of knowing what that means in terms of water quality or

vegetation growth

o The option of the fixed breakwater with low section was put forward in recognition of

the fact that there would be some reduction in water circulation. We already know that

this low section is likely to have an impact on the protection afforded to boats. During

detailed design it will have to be sized to balance the desire to protect boats and the

desire to maintain adequate circulation.

A permit will be required from the Hamilton Conservation Authority and they noted that the

four main issues that will be the focus of their review are flooding, erosion, pollution and

conservation of land. We will consider water quality and the fisheries issue to some extent but

they will not be the primary items on which we base our decision to give a permit. The four

items mentioned will need to be addressed by the time the permit is applied for.

There is a comment in the CH letter that suggests the need for 75-100yrs of modeling. This is not

something that is commonly done and clarification of this is requested. (ACTION: CH to clarify

monitoring comment with Samantha Mason and will get back to the team. Update: Email

from Teresa Labuda on April 22 indicating that 75-100 years of modeling is not required).

John Hall suggested that the issue of water quality should be look at in terms of the ability to

meet the RAP goals. Further discussions between now and detailed design on how to make this

work were suggested along with consideration of setting some performance criteria for water

quality. It was noted that water quality in the basin

Douglas noted that there is no contaminant input into the harbour as a result of the marina and

that erosion has been addressed through the RAP. Boats are pretty well controlled in terms of

their outputs. Swans are a major source of input of nutrients into the harbor. It is estimated that

75 people are feeding them for 6 months of the year. (ACTION: CH to send Karla thoughts on

the Trumpeter Swan issue).

Evaluation Criteria – there was some confusion expressed related to the evaluation criteria and

how they relate to the objectives. ACTION: text will be reviewed and improvements made

where possible to clarity.

Cost information – CH would like more detailed supporting information to clarify the cost of the

breakwater. Douglas indicated that LPMA has experience with the annual maintenance

associated with a floating wave break. One of the cost benefits of having a fixed wave break is

that you can leave everything where it is.

John Hall encouraged the team to work hard to maximize fish habitat benefits in the structure.

We would prefer to do habitat compensation in place rather than have a disturbance and then

compensate somewhere else. RAP is not a review body, but they like to offer input and insight

when they can.

CH noted that it will be difficult to provide all our comments to meet an end of April filing date.

The City will consider this in their scheduling.

Action Items:

Dillon to contact Teresa for further discussion on EA process

CH would like a copy of Vision 2012.

Dillon to confirm with LPMA regarding number of access points required with the addition of

more docks

Milo to send CH modeling information

CH to send Karla thoughts on the Trumpeter Swan issue

The existing conditions section of the report has been revisited and additional details added where appropriate from the RAP and other sources.

2 An evaluation of the form and function of the existing substrates that would be covered up by the proposed breakwater structure has not been provided. A list of the fish species (e.g. Lake Whitefish, Round Whitefish, Lake Trout, Lake Herring, Walleye and other species expected to use this area) and the life stages and activities (e.g. migration, feeding, spawning) supported by the area of the lake to be covered by the proposed breakwater have not been provided in the EA report.

The Stage 1 and 2 RAP documents discuss existing conditions of the area, including substrates. This has been incorporated into Section 3 of the report. A list of the fish species provided by Fisheries and Oceans Canada that have been recorded in the area of the proposed breakwater has been included as part of Appendix A of the report.

It is suggested that evaluation criteria found in the right hand column of Table 1: Evaluation Criteria be used to specifically evaluate all aspects of the project. This assessment of the evaluation criteria should be presented in a comprehensive manner in the EA report. This Section currently does not assess the extent to which new habitat is created and to which existing habitat is destroyed. Theses habitat types need to be rated in terms of the quality and quantity of fish habitat they provide. Section 4.3 does not address long-term impacts of sedimentation on water quality posed by the breakwater.

It should be noted that Table 2 of the document is a summary of the alternatives evaluation only. A detailed evaluation, encompassing all the criteria in Table 1 is provided as part of Appendix C. Our evaluation of alternatives clearly articulates that the footprint of a fixed wave break will result in the greatest removal of existing habitat and conversely provides the greatest opportunity for the creation of rocky underwater shoal habitat relative to the other alternatives considered. We also clearly state that the shoal habitat being created has more value in attracting the fish species desired by MNR. The evaluation of alternatives takes this into account along with other factors to determine a preferred alternative overall. Sedimentation is discussed in Section 3 of the report. As mentioned in the report, sediment transport studies for Hamilton Harbour were considered (Baird 1996) and information was also pulled from the RAP Stage 1 and 2 documents (also presented in Section 3). These background studies indicated that the potential

Provision of data that looks at oxygen concentrations at a variety of depths of water over a 12-month time frame in the area proposed for the breakwall construction would be helpful in identifying the quality and quantity of fish habitat to be occupied by the proposed breakwall. It is suggested that gillnet sets be undertaken at various water depths at various times of the year (early spring, summer and late fall) to determine what fish species are using the proposed wavebreak location. This will assist in properly evaluating what fish communities and what functions of these fish communities are likely to be affected by the proposed wavebreak. Oxygen concentrations at a variety of water depths collected in the area of the proposed footprint of the wavebreak would be beneficial. The benefit in having this data would be to allow us to more effectively evaluate the quality of the fish habitat to be lost.

sediment transport rates are in the order of 300 m3 per year and that actual transport rates, which are supply limited, are considerably lower as evident from the lack of littoral deposits against the existing shoreline structures. Therefore, we do not believe that sediment transport is a factor in the evaluation of alternatives for the project. The evaluation has looked at the relative difference between alternatives from the perspective of their impact on fish habitat and this in combination with other factors was incorporated into the selection of a preferred alternative. Gill net surveys and oxygen level assessments were not necessary to distinguish a difference in the potential for impact on fish habitat. We have noted in Section 6 of the ESR that the City and LPMA are committed to continue working together with the Conservation Authority and DFO during detailed design to develop a project that aims at providing a natural environment and fish habitat benefit.

3 While the evaluation criteria have been identified, there is a lack of any scientific/ technical assessment to support the application of said criteria.

We have added more detail in the existing conditions section of the report to provide more information on background studies that were consulted and wave modelling undertaken to support the evaluation of alternatives.

4 Information is requested on the extent to which anoxia and hypoxia are an issue in the location of the proposed wavebreak with respect to the quantity and quality of fish habitat at various water depths. Specific oxygen concentration data are requested regarding oxygen concentrations at various depth intervals at the proposed wavebreak location.

The RAP demonstrates improvement to local water quality. The issues of sediment sources and conditions of hypoxia or anoxia in the harbour are amply covered in the RAP which we have summarized in Section 3 of the report. As discussed in the response to #2, oxygen level assessments were not necessary to distinguish a difference in the potential for impact on fish habitat.

5 Further information about which fish and habitat fish are using the proposed wavebreak area during all months of the year would assist in determining the quantity and quality of fish habitat to be occupied by the proposed wavebreak.

A fish species list has been included as part of Appendix A that identifies fish species that have been recorded in the area of LaSalle Park by Fisheries and Oceans Canada. We note that data collection by DFO occurs on a bi-annual basis.

6 Comment not addressed. Discussion of the fish community use of the areas to be destroyed and disrupted by the breakwall over various months of the year is insufficient. Section 3.1.2 in the EA Report discusses near shore aquatic habitat but does not discuss deeper water areas where the breakwater will be located.

See response to #5. Section 3.1.2 has been revised to summarize background informa-tion on offshore aquatic habitat conditions available in the RAP document.

It is requested that all of the goals and objectives of the Hamilton Harbour Remedial Action Plan and the Hamilton Harbour Fisheries Management Plan be listed in the EA document, with the EA document making specific reference to how the proposed wave break meets each of the applicable goals and objectives (that are applicable) of these two plans.

The goals of the Hamilton Harbour Remedial Action Plan and Hamilton Harbour Fisheries Management Plan have been identified in Section 6.2 and each has been discussed relative to how the proposed breakwater contributes to achieving these goals.

7 It is suggested that further discussion occur regarding the outcome of the HAAT model once it has been re-run using updated parameters. The model output based on updated parameters is an important piece of information with respect to evaluating impacts of the project on fish communities and fish habitat.

The results of the HAAT model are preliminary in nature and will be refined once detailed design is completed for the project. We have noted your concerns with the parameters selected for the model and will further discuss them with all appropriate parties during detailed design.

8 It is agreed that Lake Whitefish and Ciscoe are broadcast spawners that need interstitial spaces between rocks for spawning habitat. Fish habitat literature suggests that these species prefer rocky shoals with an overall slope of no steeper than a 5:1 (length: height) grade. The literature suggests that Lake Whitefish prefer flat shaped rocks upon which to broadcast their eggs. Given these habitat specifica-tions, the steep slopes of the wavebreak are not likely to provide suitable spawning habitat for this species.

The target species, as discussed with DFO and the MNR, for the rocky side slopes are Lake Whitefish and Cisco. These fish deposit their eggs freely over rocky substrate (i.e., open substratum spawners) and are non-guarders. The provision of interstitial spaces between rocks is noted for the side slopes to function as spawning habitat. As stated in the report, there is a commitment to provide an aquatic habitat shelf on the harbour side of the wavebreak to compensate for the loss of fish habitat. The shape, size and extent of the shelf will be determined during detailed design in consulta-tion with the appropriate regulatory body at that time. Based on previous

consultation with both DFO and the MNR, this aquatic habitat shelf will be designed to function as habitat for Cisco and Lake Whitefish. It is not the intention of the preferred alternative to only offer the sideslopes of the wavebreak as potential habitat.

Specific Comments

9 Alternative 1 Evaluation: Only short-term water quality impacts were discussed. Long-term water quality impacts must also be discussed. Alternative 2 Evaluation: Neither short nor long-term water quality impacts were discussed. Alternative 3 Evaluation: Neither short nor long term water quality impacts were discussed. Please provide an evaluation of all alternatives of both short-term and long-term water quality conditions on the land ward side of the wavebreak, taking into account post-construction sedimentation conditions and wave conditions for all alternatives. There is a large amount of sediment potentially available for transport along the shoreline that is flushed out of the tributaries on an ongoing basis. The lack of sediment accumulation along shoreline structures could be the case because of existing wave action that scours these areas. Please provide modeling on sediment accumulation of the landward side of the wavebreak alternatives under post-construction scenario, taking into account post- construction wave conditions.

Water quality was taken into consideration in the evaluation of alternative breakwater configura-tions. The evaluation for all three alternatives were reviewed and revised to ensure discussion on both short and long-term water quality impacts. Wind and wave modelling results were considered when evaluating alternative solutions. These are presented in Appendix D, E and in Section 4.3. Sedimentation is discussed in the response to comment #2. We do not agree that there is a large amount of sediment available for transport. Much of the shoreline is protected and details of this are available in the Conservation Halton Shoreline Inventory. If lack of sediment build-up were caused because of existing wave action and scour, there would be no build-up of littoral sediment along any shore perpendicular structures.

10 Over the past 30 years, a permanent wave break structure has not been in place. If a permanent wave break structure is constructed, sedimentation and wave conditions are likely to change on the landward side of the wavebreak structure. Please provide information about the extent of aquatic macrophyte growth expected to occur over a long-term time line if each of the alternatives were to be constructed. It is noted from interpretive signage in place on the promontory at La Salle Park Marina that wave protection provided by the existing wavebreak increases aquatic plant growth. While this is beneficial as long as the plant growth is moderate in nature, there is concern that a permanent wavebreak could cause an overgrowth of plants in the long term due to changes occurring overtime due to the presence of the wavebreak structure.

DFO has previously classified this area as “dense” for macrophyte growth. Despite this classification, it should be noted that over more than 30 years of operation, the LPMA has never reported conditions of nuisance vegetation communities and we do not anticipate the need for their removal. Should this be required, a plan will be developed to address this issue.

11 Section 4.3 (pg. 30): This Section discusses the creation and destruction of fish habitat by Alternative 1. It is stated in this Section that “current use by fish is poor”. It is requested that comprehensive fish community survey data be provided to substantiate that statement. The report does not discuss the long term effects of this alternative on sediment movement, sediment accumulation, water circulation and water quality in the vicinity of the breakwater. Text provided regarding clean fill and the use of a silt curtain should be included in the appropriate areas of the EA, likely under the evaluation of the

The effects of this alternative on fish communities and fish habitat has been discussed in Section 4.3. A species list of fish provided by DFO has been included as part of Appendix A.

Please see response to comment #2 and #9 regarding sediment accumulation and movement.

alternative solutions. magnitude as is observed in the open water of Lake Ontario. The waves in this area are relatively small (less than 1m in height). We generally do not anticipate needing to use a silt curtain as we expect the material used for the breakwater will be clean fill. A final decision as to the need for a silt curtain will be made during detailed design.

12 The ongoing contribution of sediment to the Lake from various tributaries has not been acknowledged. Ongoing sedimentation along the near shore areas could be an issue once a wavebreak structure is put in place. The information in Table 2 does not satisfy concerns raised about the insufficient evaluation of potential impacts on water quality, sediment transport and aquatic vegetation growth and management caused by the construction of the wavebreak.

We acknowledge there are sediment inputs from various small tributaries along the north shore; however, the major tributaries along the north shore are located at the west and east ends of this shore (Rambro/ Indian Creek and Grindstone Creek). Given the wave energy distribution indicated on Figure 4.3 of Beak (1993), littoral sediment from these creeks is unlikely to reach the LaSalle Park shore. See comment #10 regarding aquatic vegetation growth.

13 It is preferred that the width and length of the fish habitat shelves be calculated during the EA stage to assist in determining whether the proposed project is a net gain or a net loss in the productive capacity of fish habitat.

The proposed aquatic shelf is discussed in Section 6 of the report. The details related to the exact measurement and material diameters for the shelf will be determined during detailed design. We appreciate that it is

the preference of the Conservation Authorities that the project represents a net gain in the productive capacity of fish habitat and this will be considered further during detailed design for the project. Should this project move forward to detailed design, the requirements of the various approvals and permits will be fulfilled. As noted in the response to comment #2, the City and LPMA are committed to continue working with the Conservation Authorities and DFO during detailed design.

Thank you for your email of May 5,2012 regarding your request for information held byAboriginalAffairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) on established or potentialAboriginal and treaty rights in the vicinity of Lasalle Park Marina Wave Break project forBurlington, Ontario.

Consulting with Canadians on matters of interest or concern to them is an important part ofgood governance, sound policy development and decision-making. ln addition to goodgovernance objectives, there may be statutory or contractual reasons for consulting, as well asthe common law duty to consult with First Nations, Métis and lnuit when conduct that mightadversely impact Aboriginal or treaty rights (established or potential) is contemplated.

It is important to note that the information held by MNDC is provided as contextual informationand may or may not pertain directly to Aboriginal or treaty rights. ln most cases, the Aboriginalcommunity remains best positioned to explain their traditional use of land, their practices orclaims that may fall under section 35, including claims they may have put before the courts.

The Department has recently developed a new information system, the Aboriginal and TreatyRights lnformation System (ATRIS), which brings together information regarding Aboriginalgroups such as their location, related treaty information, claims (specific, comprehensive andspecial)and litigation. Using ATRIS and a 100 km radius surrounding the project location,information regarding potentially affected Aboriginal communities is presented in the attachedreport in the following sections for each community:

Aboriginal Gommunity lnformation includes key contact information and any otherinformation such as Tribal Council affiliation.

Treaties, Glaims and Negotiations includes Historic Treaties, Specific, Comprehensive andSpecial Claims. Self-Government may be part of Comprehensive claims or stand-alonenegotiations.

Litigation usually refers to litigation between the Aboriginal Group and the Crown, oftenpertaining to section 35 rights assertions or consultation matters.

L

Also included, where available, is a section entitled Other Considerations. This may includeinformation on Métis rights, consultation-related protocols or agreements and other relevantinformation.

Should you require fudher assistance regarding the information provided, or if you would preferthat a smaller or greater buffer be used to gather information, please do not hesitate to contactme.

ln general, where historic treaties have been signed, the rights of signatory First Nation's aredefined by the terms of the Treaty. ln many cases, however, there are divergent views betweenFirst Nations and the Crown as to what the treaty provisíons imply or signify. For each FirstNation below, the relevant treaty area is provided.

ln areas where no historic treaty exists or where such treaties were limited in scope (i.e. whereonly certain rights were addressed by the treaty, such as the Peace and Friendship Treaties),there may be comprehensive claims that are asserted or being negotiated. Comprehensiveclaim negotiations are the means by which modern treaties are achieved.

Specific claims refer to claims made by a First Nation against the federal government related tooutstanding lawful obligations, such as the administration of land and other First Nation assets,and to the fulfillment of lndian treaties, although the treaties themselves are not open to re-negotiation. The below response provides summaries of relevant claims that are current to thedate of the response. As the claims progress regularly, it is recommended that the status ofeach claim be reviewed through the Reporting Centre on Specific Claims at: http://pse4-esd4.ainc-

Treaty Area - Southern Ontario treaties for Settlement: 1783 -1815

There are several treaty making eras which impact the province of Ontario. These eras areknown as the Upper Canada Land Surrenders from 17641o 1862. The Upper Canada LandSurrenders are seen as treaties which transfer allAboriginal rights and title to the Crown inexchange for one-time payments. ln light of the evolution of Aboriginal law over the past twentyyears, this position may not be as clear as believed. There may be residual rights remainingespecially relating to hunting and fishing.

Six Nations of the Grand RiverChief William (Bill) Kenneth Montour1695 Chiefswood RoadPO Box 5000Ohsweken, Ontario, NOA 1M0Phone: (519) 445-2201Fax: (519)445-4208www.sixnations.ca

The main reserve is the Six Nations of the Grand River, and is an 18,000 hectare land baselocated 25 km southwest of the city of Hamilton, between the cities of Brantford, Caledonia andHagersville, Ontario. Their ancestral homeland is located in the Mohawk River Valley (Ontarioand Quebec) and present day states of New York and Vermont.

The Six Nations of the Grand River is the contact point for the following local individual FirstNation communities which fall under the Six Nations and/or Haudenosaunee leadership.

The Haudenosaunee Grand Council of Chiefs, also known as the Six Nations ConfederacyCouncil, considers itself to be the central government of the lroquois Confederacy. Theycontend that they represent the fifty Chiefs of the Six Nations Confederacy, and asserttraditional rights in the southern Ontario region based on the text of the Nanfan treaty. ln thepast, federal officials have included them in their notification and consultation, however, they arenot legally recognized as the official Canadian leadership of the lroquois.

There is also an American component of the Haudenosaunee Grand Council. lt exercises itssovereignty by issuing passports to its citizens travelling abroad. As the territory crosses theCanada/ USA border, many Haudenosaunee citizens work and live on opposite sides and maynot recognize either a Canadian or American identity. They also may not view the internationalborder in their territory in the same way that the federal governments of either country do.

Treaty AreasSouthern Ontario pre-Confederation treaties to open the interior: 1815 to 1862 and other pre-Confederation treaties. Haudenosaunee Six Nation rights are premised under these pre-Confederation treaties.

Between the Lakes Treatv of 1784 and 1792This treaty was a land purchase signed by the Mississauga for a tract of land on either side ofthe Grand River. Governor Haldimand purchased this land for the Six Nations to enhance theoriginal purchase made for them. This treaty is one of over 30 land purchases and treatiesknown as the Upper Canada Treaties.

7

Haldimand Proclamation of 1784The Six Nations and their descendants were granted by decree, lands six miles deep from eachside of the Grand River as compensation for their loss of territory as a result of their alliancewith the British during the American War of lndependence.

Simcoe Patent of 1793This patent confirms the lands granted to the Six Nations by the Haldimand Proclamation. ltspecifies that the Six Nations can surrender and dispose of their land only to the Crown. Anyother leases, sales or grants to people other than Six Nations shall be unlawful and suchintruders evicted.

Nanfan Treatv of 1701This Treaty, also known as the Treaty of Albany, covers a land base of 800 by 400 miles aroundthe Lake Erie, Huron and Ontario area, as well as a portion of the United States and includesthe five nations of the Mohawks, the Onondagas, the Oneida, the Seneca and Cayuga. TheTreaty states:

"We (the five nations are to have free hunting for us and their heirs anddescendants from the Five Nations forever and that free of all disturbancesexpecting to be protected therein by the Grown of England."

The Province of Ontario (R. v. lreland (1990) decision) recognizes the hunting rights under theNanfan Treaty. To date, Canada does not have a position concerning the standing of thisTreaty.

The Haudenosaunee Council and the elected Chief of the Six Nations submitted a claim to theMinister of AANDC regarding their "right to hunt and fish" which was premised in part on theNanfan Treaty. The Haudenosaunee Six Nations was referred to the Ontario Government forremedy, as hunting and fishing issues are the responsibility of the province.

The Jav Treatv 1794 - Treatv of Amitv. Commerce and NavioationSince its conclusionin 1794, Aboriginal Peoples have been guaranteed the right to trade andtravel between the United States and Canada. This right is recognized in Article lll of theTreaty, and subsequent laws of the United States that stem from this Treaty. Canadian-bornpeople with at least 50% Aboriginal blood can enter, live in, and work in the United Stateswithout immigration restrictions, and they cannot be deported for any reason. Canada has notpassed legislation to implement Article lll of the Jay Treaty.

History of Claims and Negotiat¡ons with the Six NationsPrior to 2006, the Government of Canada and the Province of Ontario held discussions with theElected Chief and Council of the Six Nations in an attempt to achieve out-of-court resolution onvarious claims. However, this process was interrupted in February of 2006 when a group of SixNations protesters took occupation in a residential building site in Caledonia known as theDouglas Creed Estates. When the situation escalated, the discussion table was extended toinclude the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council (HCC). At this time, a Special FederalRepresentative and Senior Federal Negotiator were appointed.

The Elected Chief and Council (who are elected under the lndian Act) delegated the lead on

resolving matters tied to the Douglas Creek Estates to the Haudenosaunee ConfederacyCouncil. Negotiations on other claims continued to include the HCC, who has retained the leadat the negotiating table. The Elected Chief and Council are also represented at the negotiationsby a member or members of the Council.

With regard to the litigation process, the elected Chief and Council of the Six Nations and theHaudenosaunee Grand Council are well informed and have an established capacity. lt isrecommended that any consultation proceed with respect for their negotiating experience, aswell as their consultation knowledge and capacity. When planning consultation, federal officialsshould be approachíng both the elected Chief and Council and the Haudenosaunee Councilregardíng any federal engagement. While the Haudenosaunee Development lnsitute (HDl)maintains that the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs have legislated them to represent theirinterests on development issues, the federal government is not aware of any legal authority in

place for HDI to do so.

Specific Claims and NegotiationsSix Nations of the Grand River have many specific claims filed with Canada, not all of which arecurrently active. From the 1980s to the mid-'1990s, Six Nations submitted 29 specific claims toCanada. ln 2007 Canada made an offer to Haudenosaunee Six Nations for settlement of 4claims: Grand River Navigation Company lnvestment; Block 5 (Moulton Township); Welland

9

Canada Flooding and the Burtch Tracts. The offer was not accepted and negotiations have notcontinued since 2008. The specific claims are grouped according to areas below:

The Haldimand Tractln general, Six Nations'claims deal with past grievances that relate to lands known as theHaldimand Tract. These lands were set aside for Six Nations when they came from New York toCanada in 1784 as allies of the Crown after the American Revolution. A link to a map andinformation is: http://rnn¡¿w.sixnations.callandsResources/HaldProc.htm

Today, the Six Nations reserve covers approximately 50,000 acres of the original million acretract. The Haudenosaunee/Six nations claims that over the past two centuries, thousands ofacres were stolen, improperly transferred to non-Aboriginals, or sold without propercompensation. Canada's negotiation of Six Nations'claims is an out-of-court process. ln 1999,2000 and 2001, all three parties-Six Nations, the Province of Ontario and the Government ofCanada-turned from active litigation to talks to find common ground upon which to proceed withsome form of out-of-court resolution.

While these effods did not produce results, other efforts have been made since 2004. TheGovernment of Canada began exploratory discussions with the Six Nations' Elected Chief andCouncil and the Province of Ontario to address the claims. These discussions were interruptedwhen a group of Six Nations protesters occupied the then privately owned Douglas CreekEstates site in Caledonia.

There have been no formal negotiation sessions since October B, 2009. Canada continues toengage in bilateral and trílateral exploratory discussions with representatives from Ontario andSix Nations (both the elected Chief and Council and the Haudenosaunee Council). The purposeof these discussions has been to explore means to redefine the negotiation process.

The Culbertson Tract ClaimThis claim concerns the easterly most First Nation, the Mohawk of the Bay of Quinte. TheCulbertson Tract claim relates to a land transaction that took place in 1793. ln recognition ofmilitary alliance of the Mohawk people during the American Revolution, a tract of land the sizeof a township was set aside for the Six Nations under a formal treaty issued by Lt.-Gov. JohnGraves Simcoe.Under the terms of the treaty, if the lands were to fall into the hands of non-Six Nationsinterests, the Crown promised to "dispossess and evict" the trespassers from the lands andrestore the occupied lands to Six Nations possession.The Mohawk of the Bay of Quinte's claim alleges that approximately 827 acres, now located inthe townships of Desoronto and Tyendinaga, was improperly taken from the First Nation in1837. Specific claim negotiations with Canada closed in 2008, and the issue is now in litigationwith the Ontario Federal Court since 20'10. However, the Mohawk are not asking the couft todetermine the validity of their claim to the Tract, but rather they are seeking an order thatCanada is in breach of fiduciary duty and other legal duties to negotiate in good faith under theSpecific Claims Branch Policy. lf the Mohawk choose to claim title to the land, they can do sothrough AANDC's Special Claims process.

Aboriginal Rights AsseÉions: the MétisThe inclusion of the Métis in s.35 represents Canada's commitment to recognize and value theirdistinctive cultures, which can only survive if they are protected along with other Aboriginalcommunities.

The Office of the Federal lnterlocutor for Métis and Non-Status lndians (OFl) is aware that theMétis Nation of Ontario (MNO), its Regions and community councils, have asserted a Métis rightto harvest in a large section of the province. However, the best source of information on thenature of these assertions, is from the Métis themselves, who can be contacted via theirprovincial or national organization.

ln 2003, the Supreme Court of Canada affirmed Métis rights under s.35 of the Constitution Act,1982,in the Sault St. Marie area, in the Powley decision. For more information on the Powleydecision visit the following link: www.aadnc-aandc.qc.caleno/1100100014419

The provincialgovernment has accommodated Métis rights on a regional basis within Métisharvesting territories identified by the MNO. These accommodations are based on credibleMétis rights assertions. An interim agreement (2004) between the Métis Nation of Ontario(MNO)and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) recognizes the MNO's Harvest Cardsystem. This means that Harvester's Certificate holders engage in traditional Métis harvestactivities within identified Métis traditional territories across the province. For a map of Métistraditional harvesting territories visit the MNO website at:httÞ://www. metisnation.orq/harvesti nq/harvestínq-m a p.aspx

Métis Nation of Ontarioln partnership with Community Councils, MNO has established a consultation process. Notehowever, that this organization does not represent all Métis in Ontario.

Métis Litigation in OntarioName: HMTQ in Right of Canada v. Michel BlaisStatus: activeCourt No.: 08-213Description: The Application is charged with unlawfully harvesting forest resources in a Crownforest without a license contrary to the Crown Forest Sustainability Act, 1994. The Applicant, aMétis, asserts that he is an Aboriginal person within the meaning of s. 35 of the Constitution Act,1982 and that the alleged harvesting occurred in lands set apart for the Batchewana Bandpursuant to the Robinson Treaty of 1850. He claims that the Batchewana First Nation maypermit Métis persons to exercise the same Aboriginal and treaty rights as its members pursuantto this treaty.

Name: HMTQ in Right of Canada v. Denis LarabieStatus: activeCourt No.: n/aDescription: The defendant has been charged for unlawfully hunting cow and bull moose withouta license and possessing killed wildlife contrary to s.6 (1 )(a) and s.12 of the Fish and WildlifeConservation Act. The defendant identifies himself as Métis and claims that he was exercisinghis Aboriginal and/or treaty right by hunting within his traditional territory in Ontario.

Name: HMTQ in Right of Canada, Laurie Desautels v. Henry Wetelainen Jr.Status: activeCourt No.: CV-08-151Description; The defendant, Henry Wetelainen Jr., intends to question the constitutional validityof sections 28, 31 and 40 of the Crown Forest Sustainability Act (1994), S.O. 1994, c. 25 andOntario Regulatíon 167195, as amended, in relation to an act or omission of the government ofOntario. The defendant claims that he was exercising Aboríginal and treaty rights afforded bythe Adhesion to Treaty 3, by harvesting wood within his traditionalterritory. He claims that he isa Métis/Non-Status lndian and that the imposition of payment for harvesting or use of the forestresource is an infringement and violates is constítutional rights.

Name: R. v. Laurin, Lemieux, LemieuxStatus: concludedCourt No.: ONCJ 265Description: Three Métis defendants were charged with fishing violations and claimed that thedecision of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) to prosecute them violated the terms of thelnterim Agreement (2004) between the MNR and the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO). As thedefendants were indeed Harvester Card holders authorized to fish in the Mattawa/Nipissingterritory, therefore, they were entitled to the exemption in the agreement.

The Court concluded that laying of charges against any valid Harvester Card holder who isharvesting in the territory designated on the card within 2years of the 2004 agreement was abreach. The lnterim Agreement itself was silent as to any geographic limitations. There was nomention of the Agreement only applying north and east of Sudbury. Further, the reliance onHarvester Cards, which explicitly contained the territorial designation of the cardholder, signifiedthat the MNR accepted such designations for the purpose of the agreement. The Court wasclear to note that this case did not make any ruling regarding the merits of any claim that theMattawa/Nipissing area contains section 35 rights bearing Métis communities.

Name: Ministry of Natural Resources v. Kenneth Sr. PaquetteStatus: activeCourt No.:to be determinedDescription: This Notice of Constitutional Question relates to a provincial prosecution involving acharge pertaining to hunting moose.

Dear Doug Pladsen,

RE: LaSalle Park Marina Wave Break Study, Notice of Public Meeting

We would like to acknowledge receipt of your correspondence, which we received on 51412012 regarding the above notedproject.

As you may be aware, the area in which your project is proposed is situated within the Traditional Territory of Curve LakeFirst Nation. Our First Nation's Territory is incorporated within the Williams Treaty Territory and is the subject of a claimunder Canada's Specific Claims Policy. We strongly suggest that you provide Karry Sandy-Mackenzie, Williams TreatyFirst Nation Claims Coordinator, 8 Creswick Court, Barrie, ON L4M 2S7, with a copy of your proposal as your obligation toconsult to also extend to the other First Nations of the 'Williams Treaty.

Although we have not conducted exhaustive research nor have we the resources to do so, Curve Lake First Nation Council is

not currently aware of any issues that would cause concern with respect to our Traditional, Aboriginal and Treaty rights.

Please note that we have parlicular concern for the remains of our ancestors. Should excavation uneafth bones, remains orother such evidence of a native burial site or any Archaeological findings, we must be notified without delay. In the case of aburial site, Council reminds you of your obligations under the Cemeteries Act to nolify the nearest First Nation Governmentor other community of Aboriginal people which is willing to act as a representative and whose members have a close culturalaffìnity to the interred person. As I am sure you are aware, the regulations further state that the representative is neededbefore the remains and associated artefacts can be removed. Should such a find occur, we request that you contact our FirstNation immediately. Curve Lake First Nation also has available, trained Archaeological Liaisons who are able to activelyparticipate in the archaeological assessment process as a member of a field crew, the cost of which will be borne by theproponent.

Ifany new, undisclosed or unforeseen issues should arise, that has potential for anticipated negative environmental impactsor anticipated impacts on our Treaty and Aboriginal rights we require that we be notified regarding these as well.

Thank you for recognizing the importance of consultation and respecting your duty to consult obligations as determined bythe Supreme Court of Canada.

Should you have further questions or if you wish to hire a liaison for a project, please feel free to contact Melissa Dokis orKri sta Coppaw ay at 7 0 5 -657 -8045x222 or dutytoconsult@curvelakefn.ca.

You should be aware that many First Nations either have or assert rights to hunt and fish intheir traditional territories. For First Nations, these territories typioally include lands andwaters outside of their reserves.

In some instances, project work may impact aboriginal archaeologlcal resources. lf anyAboriginal archaeological resources could be impacted by your project, you should contactyour regulating or approving Ministry to inquire about whether any additionalAboriginalcommunities should be contacted. Aborigina[ communities with an interest in archaeologicalresources may include communities who are not presently located in the vicinity of theproposed project.
