TO:
The Chairman and Members
of the Board of Directors,
North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority
ORIGIN:
Susan Brownlee, Regulations Officer
DATE:
November 19, 2012
SUBJECT:
Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to
Shorelines and Watercourses Permits for board approval
Background:
Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, and subsequently Ontario Regulation
97/04 empowers each Conservation Authority to establish their own regulation to
prevent the loss of life and property due to flooding and erosion, and to conserve and
enhance natural resources. On May 4, 2006 the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation
Authority (NBMCA) received its regulation entitled the Development, Interference with
Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourse Regulation (Ontario
Regulation 177/06). This regulation will continue to be used as the tool by which the
NBMCA manages issues related to development in natural hazard areas including areas
with floodplains, wetlands and steep slopes. Within this regulation, a permit may be
given by an Authority for development applications within the Authority’s jurisdiction for
28(1)(b) prohibiting, regulating or requiring permission of the authority for straightening,
changing, diverting or interfering in any way with the existing channel of a river, creek,
stream or watercourse, or for changing or interfering in any way with a wetland;
28(1)(c) prohibiting, regulating or requiring the permission of the authority for
development if, in the opinion of the authority, the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic
beaches or pollution or the conservation of land may be affected by the
development.(Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter C.27).
Conservation Authority staff have been delegated the approval authority for permits
under this regulation, subject to a final endorsement by the board of directors.
Analysis:
Fourteen new permits were issued by the Conservation Authority since the previously
approved minutes as per the policies, procedures and guidelines of the NBMCA under
the Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and
Watercourses regulation; a table summarizing these permits issued is attached to this
report.
Five permits were issued for residential lots to work on water-related projects. Proposed
works included construction of cribs and shoreline stabilization, while Permit 80-12 was
issued for remedial works related to the clean-up of an oil spill on a residential lot.
Five permits were issued for the construction of dwellings, sheds and a driveway for
residential lots.
Permit 82-12 was issued for minor repairs to a private dam that was constructed in the
1950 for agricultural purposes. Although the Ministry of Natural Resources issues work
permits under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act for dams, as this was considered
a minor work to repair undermining that has taken place beneath a spillway, the
Conservation Authority issued a permit under O. Reg. 177/06 as well as a Letter of
Advice for fish habitat matters.
Permits 81-12 and 92-12 were issued for work related to the development of commercial
establishments, while Permit 94-12 was issued to the City of North Bay for work
proposed to stabilize two sections of Chippewa Creek in the Thompson Park area.
Recommendation:
The permits that have been issued are consistent with the policies and guidelines of the
Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and
Watercourses Regulation.
Therefore, it is recommended that the Conservation
Authority Board of Directors approve these permits (see attached).
RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION:
RESOLVED, THAT Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to
Shorelines and Watercourses Permits 80-12 to 92-12 and Permit 94-12 be approved
and appended to the minutes of this meeting.
