Page 38 of 99
Background
On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020
On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021
IssuesAnalysis
Governance is important and endorsing such demonstrates the NVCArsquos willingness to provide accountability and transparency in the process of sharing information with the public

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD
Date 25062021
To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors
From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)
Recommendation
WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA
RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review
Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018
election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108
tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th
2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos
2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th
2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act
2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements
Bill 229 ndash 2020
bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 73 of 99
Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA
bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context
bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA
or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy
Working Together for Watershed Management
bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023
bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021
bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities
ADVISORY BOARDS
Government prescribed terms
bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo
In a 2018 public meeting on the
development application residents
who live in the area expressed
concern about the impact on wildlife
and habitat traffic and the effect on
existing homeowners and the golf
course
Director of planning Doug Herron told
the committee the applicant has
addressed some of the concerns
raised by the public
(Editors note Article corrected on
May 18 to indicate the nine unit block
would be along the first fairway an
original version stated the fifth
fairway Simcoecom apologizes for
any confusion caused)

the timelines to establish service
agreements with municipalities
Under the proposed regulations guide
NVCA will be able to continue
integrated watershed management
work such as protecting and
enhancing water quality and quantity
identifying flood and erosion risks and
managing stormwater systems This
process helps NVCA manage human
activities and natural resources on a
watershed basis while taking into

environmental issues as well as
impacts of growth and climate change
ldquoI am extremely proud of the
collaborative work that the
Conservation Authority Working Group
(CAWG) was able to do to assist the
development of this regulations
guiderdquo said Doug Hevenor CAO at
NVCA ldquoOn behalf of NVCA I would
like to thank the Province for including
a wide range of stakeholders in the

Municipalities of Ontario and the
development and agricultural sectors
Their first task included looking at the
first phase of proposed regulations
that impact conservation authorities
and their participating municipalities
Im so pleased the Province has
recognized a watershed-wide
approach to management as the best
way to approach conservation issuesrdquo
commented Mariane McLeod NVCA
Chair ldquoIm grateful that our staff will
have sufficient time to work with our
18 member municipalities to develop
Memoranda of Understanding for the
services our conservation authority
provides
Later in the year the Province will

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood
but you might have to wait them
out
Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak
of the destructive moths but their
days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees
May 29 2021 by Erika Engel
Collingwood Today
Shawn GibsonBarrieToday
Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

Background
On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020
On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021
IssuesAnalysis
Governance is important and endorsing such demonstrates the NVCArsquos willingness to provide accountability and transparency in the process of sharing information with the public

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD
Date 25062021
To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors
From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)
Recommendation
WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA
RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review
Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018
election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108
tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th
2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos
2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th
2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act
2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements
Bill 229 ndash 2020
bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 73 of 99
Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA
bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context
bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA
or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy
Working Together for Watershed Management
bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023
bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021
bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities
ADVISORY BOARDS
Government prescribed terms
bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos
jurisdiction bull Must seek out a variety of members including youth and indigenous
representation Appointment process of members by public notification and application
bull A minimum of one authority Member (and an Alternate) to be appointed bull Maximum authority representation is 15 bull CA must provide administrative support bull Meetings open to the public
CA Board to develop TOR
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo
In a 2018 public meeting on the
development application residents
who live in the area expressed
concern about the impact on wildlife
and habitat traffic and the effect on
existing homeowners and the golf
course
Director of planning Doug Herron told
the committee the applicant has
addressed some of the concerns
raised by the public
(Editors note Article corrected on
May 18 to indicate the nine unit block
would be along the first fairway an
original version stated the fifth
fairway Simcoecom apologizes for
any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood
but you might have to wait them
out
Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak
of the destructive moths but their
days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees
May 29 2021 by Erika Engel
Collingwood Today
Shawn GibsonBarrieToday
Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

Background
On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020
On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021
IssuesAnalysis
Governance is important and endorsing such demonstrates the NVCArsquos willingness to provide accountability and transparency in the process of sharing information with the public

Date 25062021
To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors
From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)
Recommendation
WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA
RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review
Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018
election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108
tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th
2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos
2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th
2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act
2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements
Bill 229 ndash 2020
bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 73 of 99
Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA
bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context
bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA
or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy
Working Together for Watershed Management
bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023
bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021
bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities
ADVISORY BOARDS
Government prescribed terms
bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo
In a 2018 public meeting on the
development application residents
who live in the area expressed
concern about the impact on wildlife
and habitat traffic and the effect on
existing homeowners and the golf
course
Director of planning Doug Herron told
the committee the applicant has
addressed some of the concerns
raised by the public
(Editors note Article corrected on
May 18 to indicate the nine unit block
would be along the first fairway an
original version stated the fifth
fairway Simcoecom apologizes for
any confusion caused)

authorities will implement along with
the timelines to establish service
agreements with municipalities
Under the proposed regulations guide
NVCA will be able to continue
integrated watershed management
work such as protecting and

managing stormwater systems
This process helps NVCA manage
human activities and natural resources
on a watershed basis while taking into

environmental issues as well as
impacts of growth and climate change
ldquoI am extremely proud of the

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood
but you might have to wait them
out
Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak
of the destructive moths but their
days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees
May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

Page 38 of 99
Background
On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020
On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD
Date 25062021
To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors
From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)
Recommendation
WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA
RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review
Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018
election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108
tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th
2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos
2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th
2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act
2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements

2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA

Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo
In a 2018 public meeting on the
development application residents
who live in the area expressed
concern about the impact on wildlife
and habitat traffic and the effect on
existing homeowners and the golf
course
Director of planning Doug Herron told
the committee the applicant has
addressed some of the concerns
raised by the public
(Editors note Article corrected on
May 18 to indicate the nine unit block
would be along the first fairway an
original version stated the fifth
fairway Simcoecom apologizes for
any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood
but you might have to wait them
out
Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak
of the destructive moths but their
days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees
May 29 2021 by Erika Engel
Collingwood Today
Shawn GibsonBarrieToday
Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

NVCA review new proposals for
Conservation Authorities Act
June 3 2021 by Brian Lockhart
Toronto Star
With changes coming to the
Conservation Authorities Act the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority is reviewing the first phase
of changes in the Regulatory Proposal
Consultation Guide
Part of the guide details the
mandatory and non-mandatory
programs and services conservation
authorities will implement along with
the timelines to establish service
agreements with municipalities
Under the proposed regulations guide
the NVCA will be able to continue
integrated watershed management
work such as protecting and
enhancing water quality and quantity
identifying flood and erosion risks and
managing storm water systems
The process helps the NVCA to
manage human activities and natural
resources on a watershed while taking
into account social economic and
environmental issues as well as the
impact of growth and climate change
ldquoI am extremely proud of the
collaborative work that the
Conservation Authority Working Group
(CAWG) was able to do to assist the
development of the regulation guiderdquo
said Doug Hevenor CAO of the NVCA
ldquoOn behalf of NVCA I would like to
thank the province for including a

development of the guiderdquo
The Conservation Authority Working
Group was established by the Province
of Ontario in January 2021 and
includes representatives from
conservation authorities Conservation
Ontario the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario and
development and agricultural groups
The first task of CAWG included
looking at the first phase of proposed
regulations that impact conservation
authorities and their participating
municipalities
ldquoIrsquom so please the province has
recognized a watershed-wide
approach to management as the best
way to approach conservation issuesrdquo
said Mariane McLeod NVCA chair ldquoIrsquom
grateful that our staff will have
sufficient time to work with our 18
member municipalities to develop
Memoranda of Understanding for the
services out conservation authority
providerdquo
Later this year the province will
consult on the second phase of the
proposed regulations which will
include details on municipal levies
related to mandatory and non-

June 4 2021 by Brian Lockhart
New Tecumseth Times

Conservation Authorities Act the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority is reviewing the first phase
of changes in the Regulatory Proposal
Consultation Guide

environmental issues as well as the
impact of growth and climate change
ldquoI am extremely proud of the
collaborative work that the
Conservation Authority Working Group
(CAWG) was able to do to assist the
development of the regulation guiderdquo
said Doug Hevenor CAO of the NVCA
ldquoOn behalf of NVCA I would like to
thank the province for including a

Group was established by the Province
of Ontario in January 2021 and
includes representatives from
conservation authorities Conservation

looking at the first phase of proposed
regulations that impact conservation
authorities and their participating
municipalities
ldquoIrsquom so pleased the province has
recognized a watershed-wide
approach to management as the best
way to approach conservation issuesrdquo
said Mariane McLeod NVCA chair ldquoIrsquom
grateful that our staff will have
sufficient time to work with our 18

Background
On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020
On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021
IssuesAnalysis
Governance is important and endorsing such demonstrates the NVCArsquos willingness to provide accountability and transparency in the process of sharing information with the public

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD
Date 25062021
To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors
From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)
Recommendation
WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA
RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review
Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018
election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108
tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th
2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos
2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th
2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act
2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements
Bill 229 ndash 2020
bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 73 of 99
Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA
bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context
bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA
or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy
Working Together for Watershed Management
bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023
bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021
bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities
ADVISORY BOARDS
Government prescribed terms
bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood
but you might have to wait them
out
Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak
of the destructive moths but their
days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees
May 29 2021 by Erika Engel
Collingwood Today
Shawn GibsonBarrieToday
Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018

2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements
Bill 229 ndash 2020
bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 73 of 99
Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA
bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context
bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA
or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy
Working Together for Watershed Management
bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023
bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo
In a 2018 public meeting on the
development application residents
who live in the area expressed
concern about the impact on wildlife
and habitat traffic and the effect on
existing homeowners and the golf
course
Director of planning Doug Herron told
the committee the applicant has
addressed some of the concerns
raised by the public
(Editors note Article corrected on
May 18 to indicate the nine unit block
would be along the first fairway an
original version stated the fifth
fairway Simcoecom apologizes for
any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood
but you might have to wait them
out
Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak
of the destructive moths but their
days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees
May 29 2021 by Erika Engel
Collingwood Today
Shawn GibsonBarrieToday
Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

NVCA review new proposals for
Conservation Authorities Act
June 3 2021 by Brian Lockhart
Toronto Star
With changes coming to the
Conservation Authorities Act the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority is reviewing the first phase
of changes in the Regulatory Proposal
Consultation Guide
Part of the guide details the
mandatory and non-mandatory
programs and services conservation
authorities will implement along with
the timelines to establish service
agreements with municipalities
Under the proposed regulations guide
the NVCA will be able to continue
integrated watershed management
work such as protecting and
enhancing water quality and quantity
identifying flood and erosion risks and
managing storm water systems
The process helps the NVCA to
manage human activities and natural
resources on a watershed while taking
into account social economic and
environmental issues as well as the
impact of growth and climate change
ldquoI am extremely proud of the
collaborative work that the
Conservation Authority Working Group
(CAWG) was able to do to assist the
development of the regulation guiderdquo
said Doug Hevenor CAO of the NVCA
ldquoOn behalf of NVCA I would like to
thank the province for including a
wide range of stakeholders in the
development of the guiderdquo
The Conservation Authority Working
Group was established by the Province
of Ontario in January 2021 and
includes representatives from
conservation authorities Conservation
Ontario the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario and
development and agricultural groups
The first task of CAWG included
looking at the first phase of proposed
regulations that impact conservation
authorities and their participating
municipalities
ldquoIrsquom so please the province has
recognized a watershed-wide
approach to management as the best
way to approach conservation issuesrdquo
said Mariane McLeod NVCA chair ldquoIrsquom
grateful that our staff will have
sufficient time to work with our 18
member municipalities to develop
Memoranda of Understanding for the
services out conservation authority

Later this year the province will
consult on the second phase of the
proposed regulations which will
include details on municipal levies
related to mandatory and non-
mandatory programs and service
standards

Page 38 of 99
Background
On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020
On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD
Date 25062021
To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors
From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)
Recommendation
WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA
RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review
Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018
election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108
tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th
2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos
2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th
2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act
2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements
Bill 229 ndash 2020
bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 73 of 99
Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA
bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context
bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA
or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy
Working Together for Watershed Management
bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023
bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021
bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities
ADVISORY BOARDS
Government prescribed terms
bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo
In a 2018 public meeting on the
development application residents
who live in the area expressed
concern about the impact on wildlife
and habitat traffic and the effect on
existing homeowners and the golf
course
Director of planning Doug Herron told
the committee the applicant has
addressed some of the concerns
raised by the public
(Editors note Article corrected on
May 18 to indicate the nine unit block
would be along the first fairway an
original version stated the fifth
fairway Simcoecom apologizes for
any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood
but you might have to wait them
out
Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak
of the destructive moths but their
days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees
May 29 2021 by Erika Engel
Collingwood Today
Shawn GibsonBarrieToday
Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

Proclaimed Amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act Staff Report No 19-06-21-BOD
Page 38 of 99
Background
On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020
On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

PermitsApprovals under the Conservation Authorities Act Report Staff Report No 21-06-21-BOD
As outlined in MNRFrsquos May 2010 ldquoPolicies and Procedures for Conservation Authority Plan Review and Permitting Activitiesrdquo (the ldquoCALCrdquo report) permit applications under the Conservation Authorities Act will generally be processed within specified timelines This document identifies that conservation authorities are to make a decision (ie recommendation to approve or recommendation for refusal with right to an appeal) with respect to a permission (permit) application and pursuant to the Conservation Authorities Act within 30 days for a complete minor application and 90 days for a complete major application
The NVCA will notify applicants in writing within 21 days of the receipt of a permission (permit) application as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not The applicant should pre-consult with NVCA staff prior to submission of an application to determine complete permit application requirements for specific projects
In 20192020 the NVCA in collaboration with Ontariorsquos Conservation Authorities and Conservation Ontario endorsed the Conservation Ontario ldquoClient Service Standards for Conservation Authority Plan and Permit Reviewrdquo (the ldquoClient Services Standardsrdquo report endorsed June 24 2019 amended December 9 2019) As a designated high growth CA the NVCA has implemented the following measures (Note that the NVCA had historically and proactively addressed items 1 amp 2 below)
1 Publicly accessible agreements and policies that guide reviews and decision making
2 CA online screening maps
3 CA annual report to Conservation Ontario on review timelines
The Client Service Standards report provided client service targets for review of permit applications under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act (Table 3 of document at link included below) Under the Client Service Standards prior permit applications classified as lsquoClearance LetterLetter of Approvalrsquo have been renamed lsquoRoutine Permit Applicationsrsquo The following target timelines have been identified
bull Routine Permit Applications ndash Notification as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not within 10 days decision to be rendered within 14 days of receipt of complete application with 7 additional days for review of subsequent re-submissions

Recommendation
WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA
RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review
Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018
election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108
tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th
2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos
2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th
2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act
2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements
Bill 229 ndash 2020
bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 73 of 99
Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA
bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context
bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA
or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy
Working Together for Watershed Management
bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023
bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021
bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities
ADVISORY BOARDS
Government prescribed terms
bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo
In a 2018 public meeting on the
development application residents
who live in the area expressed
concern about the impact on wildlife
and habitat traffic and the effect on
existing homeowners and the golf
course
Director of planning Doug Herron told
the committee the applicant has
addressed some of the concerns
raised by the public
(Editors note Article corrected on
May 18 to indicate the nine unit block
would be along the first fairway an
original version stated the fifth
fairway Simcoecom apologizes for
any confusion caused)

days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

NVCA review new proposals for
Conservation Authorities Act
June 3 2021 by Brian Lockhart
Toronto Star
With changes coming to the
Conservation Authorities Act the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority is reviewing the first phase
of changes in the Regulatory Proposal
Consultation Guide
Part of the guide details the
mandatory and non-mandatory
programs and services conservation
authorities will implement along with
the timelines to establish service
agreements with municipalities
Under the proposed regulations guide
the NVCA will be able to continue
integrated watershed management
work such as protecting and
enhancing water quality and quantity
identifying flood and erosion risks and
managing storm water systems
The process helps the NVCA to
manage human activities and natural
resources on a watershed while taking
into account social economic and
environmental issues as well as the
impact of growth and climate change
ldquoI am extremely proud of the
collaborative work that the
Conservation Authority Working Group
(CAWG) was able to do to assist the
development of the regulation guiderdquo
said Doug Hevenor CAO of the NVCA
ldquoOn behalf of NVCA I would like to
thank the province for including a
wide range of stakeholders in the
development of the guiderdquo
The Conservation Authority Working
Group was established by the Province
of Ontario in January 2021 and
includes representatives from
conservation authorities Conservation
Ontario the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario and
development and agricultural groups
The first task of CAWG included
looking at the first phase of proposed
regulations that impact conservation
authorities and their participating
municipalities
ldquoIrsquom so please the province has
recognized a watershed-wide
approach to management as the best
way to approach conservation issuesrdquo
said Mariane McLeod NVCA chair ldquoIrsquom
grateful that our staff will have
sufficient time to work with our 18
member municipalities to develop
Memoranda of Understanding for the
services out conservation authority
providerdquo
Later this year the province will
consult on the second phase of the
proposed regulations which will
include details on municipal levies
related to mandatory and non-
mandatory programs and service
standards

Background
On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020
On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD
Date 25062021
To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors
From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)
Recommendation
WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA
RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review
Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018
election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108
tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th
2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos
2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th
2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act
2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements
Bill 229 ndash 2020
bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 73 of 99
Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA
bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context
bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA
or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy
Working Together for Watershed Management
bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023
bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021
bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities
ADVISORY BOARDS
Government prescribed terms
bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos
jurisdiction bull Must seek out a variety of members including youth and indigenous

CA Board to develop TOR
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo
In a 2018 public meeting on the
development application residents
who live in the area expressed
concern about the impact on wildlife
and habitat traffic and the effect on
existing homeowners and the golf
course
Director of planning Doug Herron told
the committee the applicant has
addressed some of the concerns
raised by the public
(Editors note Article corrected on
May 18 to indicate the nine unit block
would be along the first fairway an
original version stated the fifth
fairway Simcoecom apologizes for
any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood
but you might have to wait them
out
Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak
of the destructive moths but their
days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees
May 29 2021 by Erika Engel
Collingwood Today
Shawn GibsonBarrieToday
Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

who live work and play in the
watershedrdquo commented Doug
Hevenor CAO of NVCA ldquoMaintaining
and enhancing these natural resources
requires an integrated approach By
dividing our services into core and
non-core we may have to make the
difficult choice to eliminate or reduce
programs from the integrated process
Page 99 of 99
This makes it much more difficult to
ensure naturersquos ecosystem services
are in place and are resilient to
climate change and the impacts of
urban growthrdquo
Residents are encouraged to submit
comments about their experiences
with NVCArsquos noncore programs and to
ask the Minister to reconsider dividing
programs into core and noncore
Examples include experiences in
NVCArsquos conservation areas working
with the stewardship team to restore
stream and river banks as well as
childrenrsquos experiences at the Tiffin
Centre for Conservation
ldquoCurrently NVCA receives 50 of our
funding from our municipal partnersrdquo
continued Hevenor ldquoUnder the new
legislation funding for non-core work
could be drastically reduced from
current levels This funding is vital for
maintaining our conservation
areasand allows our education staff to
develop programs Our talented
stewardship staff raises four times as
much funds to restore our streams
and rivers to improve water quality
maintain tourism and provide habitat
in all of our partner municipalitiesrdquo
Residents can visit the Environmental
Registry of Ontario to provide
comments and to learn more about
the proposed changes to the
Conservation Authorities Act

Background
On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020
On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

PermitsApprovals under the Conservation Authorities Act Report Staff Report No 21-06-21-BOD
As outlined in MNRFrsquos May 2010 ldquoPolicies and Procedures for Conservation Authority Plan Review and Permitting Activitiesrdquo (the ldquoCALCrdquo report) permit applications under the Conservation Authorities Act will generally be processed within specified timelines This document identifies that conservation authorities are to make a decision (ie recommendation to approve or recommendation for refusal with right to an appeal) with respect to a permission (permit) application and pursuant to the Conservation Authorities Act within 30 days for a complete minor application and 90 days for a complete major application
The NVCA will notify applicants in writing within 21 days of the receipt of a permission (permit) application as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not The applicant should pre-consult with NVCA staff prior to submission of an application to determine complete permit application requirements for specific projects
In 20192020 the NVCA in collaboration with Ontariorsquos Conservation Authorities and Conservation Ontario endorsed the Conservation Ontario ldquoClient Service Standards for Conservation Authority Plan and Permit Reviewrdquo (the ldquoClient Services Standardsrdquo report endorsed June 24 2019 amended December 9 2019) As a designated high growth CA the NVCA has implemented the following measures (Note that the NVCA had historically and proactively addressed items 1 amp 2 below)
1 Publicly accessible agreements and policies that guide reviews and decision making
2 CA online screening maps
3 CA annual report to Conservation Ontario on review timelines
The Client Service Standards report provided client service targets for review of permit applications under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act (Table 3 of document at link included below) Under the Client Service Standards prior permit applications classified as lsquoClearance LetterLetter of Approvalrsquo have been renamed lsquoRoutine Permit Applicationsrsquo The following target timelines have been identified
bull Routine Permit Applications ndash Notification as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not within 10 days decision to be rendered within 14 days of receipt of complete application with 7 additional days for review of subsequent re-submissions
bull Minor Permit Applications - Notification as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not within 14 days decision to be rendered within 21 days of receipt of complete application with 15 additional days for review of subsequent re-submissions
bull Major Permit Applications - Notification as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not within 21 days decision to be rendered within 28 days of receipt of complete application with 30 additional days for review of subsequent re-submissions

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)
Recommendation
WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA
RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review
Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018
election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108
tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th
2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos
2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th
2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act
2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements
Bill 229 ndash 2020
bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 73 of 99
Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA
bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context
bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA
or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy
Working Together for Watershed Management
bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023
bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021
bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities
ADVISORY BOARDS
Government prescribed terms
bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo
In a 2018 public meeting on the
development application residents
who live in the area expressed
concern about the impact on wildlife
and habitat traffic and the effect on
existing homeowners and the golf
course
Director of planning Doug Herron told
the committee the applicant has
addressed some of the concerns
raised by the public
(Editors note Article corrected on
May 18 to indicate the nine unit block
would be along the first fairway an
original version stated the fifth
fairway Simcoecom apologizes for
any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood
but you might have to wait them
out
Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak
of the destructive moths but their
days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees
May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

NVCA review new proposals for
Conservation Authorities Act
June 3 2021 by Brian Lockhart
Toronto Star
With changes coming to the
Conservation Authorities Act the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority is reviewing the first phase
of changes in the Regulatory Proposal
Consultation Guide
Part of the guide details the
mandatory and non-mandatory
programs and services conservation
authorities will implement along with
the timelines to establish service
agreements with municipalities
Under the proposed regulations guide
the NVCA will be able to continue
integrated watershed management
work such as protecting and
enhancing water quality and quantity
identifying flood and erosion risks and
managing storm water systems
The process helps the NVCA to
manage human activities and natural
resources on a watershed while taking
into account social economic and
environmental issues as well as the
impact of growth and climate change
ldquoI am extremely proud of the
collaborative work that the
Conservation Authority Working Group
(CAWG) was able to do to assist the
development of the regulation guiderdquo
said Doug Hevenor CAO of the NVCA
ldquoOn behalf of NVCA I would like to
thank the province for including a
wide range of stakeholders in the
development of the guiderdquo
The Conservation Authority Working
Group was established by the Province
of Ontario in January 2021 and
includes representatives from
conservation authorities Conservation
Ontario the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario and
development and agricultural groups
The first task of CAWG included
looking at the first phase of proposed
regulations that impact conservation
authorities and their participating
municipalities
ldquoIrsquom so please the province has
recognized a watershed-wide
approach to management as the best
way to approach conservation issuesrdquo
said Mariane McLeod NVCA chair ldquoIrsquom
grateful that our staff will have
sufficient time to work with our 18

Background
On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020
On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD
Date 25062021
To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors
From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)
Recommendation
WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA
RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review
Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018
election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108
tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th
2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos
2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th
2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act
2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements
Bill 229 ndash 2020
bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 73 of 99
Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA
bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context
bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA
or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy
Working Together for Watershed Management
bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023
bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021
bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities
ADVISORY BOARDS
Government prescribed terms
bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos
jurisdiction bull Must seek out a variety of members including youth and indigenous

bull A minimum of one authority Member (and an Alternate) to be appointed bull Maximum authority representation is 15 bull CA must provide administrative support bull Meetings open to the public
CA Board to develop TOR
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo
In a 2018 public meeting on the
development application residents
who live in the area expressed
concern about the impact on wildlife
and habitat traffic and the effect on
existing homeowners and the golf
course
Director of planning Doug Herron told
the committee the applicant has
addressed some of the concerns
raised by the public
(Editors note Article corrected on
May 18 to indicate the nine unit block
would be along the first fairway an
original version stated the fifth
fairway Simcoecom apologizes for
any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood
but you might have to wait them
out
Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak
of the destructive moths but their
days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees
May 29 2021 by Erika Engel
Collingwood Today
Shawn GibsonBarrieToday
Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

Conservation Authority (NVCA)
provides
The Ontario government released the
changes on the Environmental
Registry of Ontario As part of the
public consultation process members
of the public can comment on these
changes on the before June 27 2021
The proposed changes lists the
services that are core and non-core
Municipalities would be mandated to
provide funds for core services such
as flood management permitting and
planning services However
municipalities can opt-out of non-core
services including maintaining hiking
trails environmental restoration on
private land providing education
programs planting forests and most
components for stream groundwater
and wetland monitoring
ldquoOur natural resources provide
numerous ecosystem services to those
who live work and play in the
watershedrdquo commented Doug
Hevenor CAO of NVCA ldquoMaintaining
and enhancing these natural resources
requires an integrated approach By
dividing our services into core and
non-core we may have to make the
difficult choice to eliminate or reduce
programs from the integrated process
Page 97 of 99
This makes it much more difficult to
ensure naturersquos ecosystem services
are in place and are resilient to
climate change and the impacts of
urban growthrdquo
Residents are encouraged to submit
comments about their experiences
with NVCArsquos noncore programs and to
ask the Minister to reconsider dividing
programs into core and noncore
Examples include experiences in
NVCArsquos conservation areas working
with the stewardship team to restore
stream and river banks as well as
childrenrsquos experiences at the Tiffin
Centre for Conservation
ldquoCurrently NVCA receives 50 of our
funding from our municipal partnersrdquo
continued Hevenor ldquoUnder the new
legislation funding for non-core work
could be drastically reduced from
current levels This funding is vital for
maintaining our conservation
areasand allows our education staff to
develop programs Our talented
stewardship staff raises four times as
much funds to restore our streams
and rivers to improve water quality
maintain tourism and provide habitat

changes on the before June 27 2021
The proposed changes lists the
services that are core and non-core
Municipalities would be mandated to
provide funds for core services such
as flood management permitting and
planning services However
municipalities can opt-out of non-core
services including maintaining hiking
trails environmental restoration on
private land providing education
programs planting forests and most
components for stream groundwater
and wetland monitoring
ldquoOur natural resources provide
numerous ecosystem services to those
who live work and play in the
watershedrdquo commented Doug
Hevenor CAO of NVCA ldquoMaintaining
and enhancing these natural resources
requires an integrated approach By
dividing our services into core and
non-core we may have to make the
difficult choice to eliminate or reduce
programs from the integrated process
Page 99 of 99
This makes it much more difficult to
ensure naturersquos ecosystem services
are in place and are resilient to
climate change and the impacts of
urban growthrdquo
Residents are encouraged to submit
comments about their experiences
with NVCArsquos noncore programs and to
ask the Minister to reconsider dividing
programs into core and noncore
Examples include experiences in
NVCArsquos conservation areas working
with the stewardship team to restore
stream and river banks as well as
childrenrsquos experiences at the Tiffin
Centre for Conservation
ldquoCurrently NVCA receives 50 of our
funding from our municipal partnersrdquo
continued Hevenor ldquoUnder the new
legislation funding for non-core work
could be drastically reduced from
current levels This funding is vital for
maintaining our conservation
areasand allows our education staff to
develop programs Our talented
stewardship staff raises four times as
much funds to restore our streams
and rivers to improve water quality
maintain tourism and provide habitat
in all of our partner municipalitiesrdquo
Residents can visit the Environmental
Registry of Ontario to provide

Background
On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020
On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

PermitsApprovals under the Conservation Authorities Act Report Staff Report No 21-06-21-BOD
As outlined in MNRFrsquos May 2010 ldquoPolicies and Procedures for Conservation Authority Plan Review and Permitting Activitiesrdquo (the ldquoCALCrdquo report) permit applications under the Conservation Authorities Act will generally be processed within specified timelines This document identifies that conservation authorities are to make a decision (ie recommendation to approve or recommendation for refusal with right to an appeal) with respect to a permission (permit) application and pursuant to the Conservation Authorities Act within 30 days for a complete minor application and 90 days for a complete major application
The NVCA will notify applicants in writing within 21 days of the receipt of a permission (permit) application as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not The applicant should pre-consult with NVCA staff prior to submission of an application to determine complete permit application requirements for specific projects
In 20192020 the NVCA in collaboration with Ontariorsquos Conservation Authorities and Conservation Ontario endorsed the Conservation Ontario ldquoClient Service Standards for Conservation Authority Plan and Permit Reviewrdquo (the ldquoClient Services Standardsrdquo report endorsed June 24 2019 amended December 9 2019) As a designated high growth CA the NVCA has implemented the following measures (Note that the NVCA had historically and proactively addressed items 1 amp 2 below)
1 Publicly accessible agreements and policies that guide reviews and decision making
2 CA online screening maps
3 CA annual report to Conservation Ontario on review timelines
The Client Service Standards report provided client service targets for review of permit applications under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act (Table 3 of document at link included below) Under the Client Service Standards prior permit applications classified as lsquoClearance LetterLetter of Approvalrsquo have been renamed lsquoRoutine Permit Applicationsrsquo The following target timelines have been identified
bull Routine Permit Applications ndash Notification as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not within 10 days decision to be rendered within 14 days of receipt of complete application with 7 additional days for review of subsequent re-submissions
bull Minor Permit Applications - Notification as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not within 14 days decision to be rendered within 21 days of receipt of complete application with 15 additional days for review of subsequent re-submissions
bull Major Permit Applications - Notification as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not within 21 days decision to be rendered within 28 days of receipt of complete application with 30 additional days for review of subsequent re-submissions

From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)
Recommendation
WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA
RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review
Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018
election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108
tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th
2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos
2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th
2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act
2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements
Bill 229 ndash 2020
bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 73 of 99
Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA
bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context
bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA
or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy
Working Together for Watershed Management
bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023
bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021
bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities
ADVISORY BOARDS
Government prescribed terms
bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos

Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo
In a 2018 public meeting on the
development application residents
who live in the area expressed
concern about the impact on wildlife
and habitat traffic and the effect on
existing homeowners and the golf
course
Director of planning Doug Herron told
the committee the applicant has
addressed some of the concerns
raised by the public
(Editors note Article corrected on
May 18 to indicate the nine unit block
would be along the first fairway an
original version stated the fifth
fairway Simcoecom apologizes for
any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood
but you might have to wait them
out
Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak
of the destructive moths but their
days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees
May 29 2021 by Erika Engel

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

NVCA review new proposals for
Conservation Authorities Act
June 3 2021 by Brian Lockhart
Toronto Star
With changes coming to the
Conservation Authorities Act the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority is reviewing the first phase
of changes in the Regulatory Proposal
Consultation Guide
Part of the guide details the
mandatory and non-mandatory
programs and services conservation
authorities will implement along with
the timelines to establish service
agreements with municipalities
Under the proposed regulations guide
the NVCA will be able to continue
integrated watershed management
work such as protecting and
enhancing water quality and quantity
identifying flood and erosion risks and
managing storm water systems
The process helps the NVCA to
manage human activities and natural
resources on a watershed while taking
into account social economic and
environmental issues as well as the
impact of growth and climate change
ldquoI am extremely proud of the
collaborative work that the
Conservation Authority Working Group
(CAWG) was able to do to assist the
development of the regulation guiderdquo
said Doug Hevenor CAO of the NVCA
ldquoOn behalf of NVCA I would like to
thank the province for including a
wide range of stakeholders in the
development of the guiderdquo
The Conservation Authority Working
Group was established by the Province
of Ontario in January 2021 and
includes representatives from
conservation authorities Conservation
Ontario the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario and
development and agricultural groups
The first task of CAWG included
looking at the first phase of proposed
regulations that impact conservation
authorities and their participating
municipalities
ldquoIrsquom so please the province has
recognized a watershed-wide
approach to management as the best
way to approach conservation issuesrdquo
said Mariane McLeod NVCA chair ldquoIrsquom
grateful that our staff will have
sufficient time to work with our 18

Background
On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020
On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

Staff Report 22-06-21-BOD
Date 25062021
To Chair and Members of the Board of Directors
From Doug Hevenor Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
SUBJECT Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA)
Recommendation
WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA
RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review
Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018
election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108
tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th
2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos
2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th
2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act
2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements
Bill 229 ndash 2020
bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 73 of 99
Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA
bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context
bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA
or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy
Working Together for Watershed Management
bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023
bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021
bull Moving to this new fee structure will require some effort on both the part of the CArsquos and the part of the municipalities
ADVISORY BOARDS
Government prescribed terms
bull Quorum Chair Vice-Chair and secretary to align with Administrative By-Law bull Members must reside in Area of Jurisdiction bull Public permitted to be members bull Minimum number of members is 5 bull Where possible members represent the geographic range of authorityrsquos
jurisdiction bull Must seek out a variety of members including youth and indigenous

CA Board to develop TOR
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo
In a 2018 public meeting on the
development application residents
who live in the area expressed
concern about the impact on wildlife
and habitat traffic and the effect on
existing homeowners and the golf
course
Director of planning Doug Herron told
the committee the applicant has
addressed some of the concerns
raised by the public
(Editors note Article corrected on
May 18 to indicate the nine unit block
would be along the first fairway an
original version stated the fifth
fairway Simcoecom apologizes for
any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood
but you might have to wait them
out
Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak
of the destructive moths but their
days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees
May 29 2021 by Erika Engel
Collingwood Today
Shawn GibsonBarrieToday
Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

who live work and play in the
watershedrdquo commented Doug
Hevenor CAO of NVCA ldquoMaintaining
and enhancing these natural resources
requires an integrated approach By
dividing our services into core and
non-core we may have to make the
difficult choice to eliminate or reduce
programs from the integrated process
Page 99 of 99
This makes it much more difficult to
ensure naturersquos ecosystem services
are in place and are resilient to
climate change and the impacts of
urban growthrdquo
Residents are encouraged to submit
comments about their experiences
with NVCArsquos noncore programs and to
ask the Minister to reconsider dividing
programs into core and noncore
Examples include experiences in
NVCArsquos conservation areas working
with the stewardship team to restore
stream and river banks as well as
childrenrsquos experiences at the Tiffin
Centre for Conservation
ldquoCurrently NVCA receives 50 of our
funding from our municipal partnersrdquo
continued Hevenor ldquoUnder the new
legislation funding for non-core work
could be drastically reduced from
current levels This funding is vital for
maintaining our conservation
areasand allows our education staff to
develop programs Our talented
stewardship staff raises four times as
much funds to restore our streams
and rivers to improve water quality
maintain tourism and provide habitat
in all of our partner municipalitiesrdquo
Residents can visit the Environmental
Registry of Ontario to provide
comments and to learn more about
the proposed changes to the

Page 38 of 99
Background
On behalf of the collective CAs Conservation Ontario has been communicating our commitment to accountability and transparency over the past several years and all Conservation Ontario and the conservation authorities share the Provincial governmentrsquos commitment to governance accountability and transparency All conservation authorities approved their new Administrative By-Laws by December 2018 in compliance with the December 2017 amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act The legislated deadline was achieved with funding support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2017-2018 which enabled development and endorsement of the Conservation Authority Best Management Practices (BMP) and Administrative By-Law Model (Conservation Ontario April 2018 as amended) document which includes Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies Despite these efforts the Province continues to emphasize the importance of governance accountability and transparency and amendments were made to the Conservation Authorities Act through Schedule 6 of Bill 229 which received Royal Assent on December 8 2020
On February 2 2021 a number of these clauses related to Conservation Authority governance were proclaimed and there have been a number of General Manager meetings (February 10 26 and March 22) where actions on these clauses have been discussed The Required Actions and the BMP actions in general demonstrate accountability and transparency to the Province through compliance with the legislation and of course to municipalities and the public in their implementation CAs updated their administrative bylaws by December 2018 A CO Governance Accountability and Transparency Initiative is outlined for endorsement and includes the following three actions to demonstrate CA commitment in this regard
a) Updates to CA Administrative By-laws b) Proactive Reporting on Priorities and c) PromotionDemonstration of Results
Individual CA resolutions in support of the three actions identified were also requested To deliver on these actions and to advise CO staff it is proposed a Steering Committee be established comprised of CAOs who volunteered to participate in development of this concept which was discussed at a General Managers Meeting on February 26 2021

PermitsApprovals under the Conservation Authorities Act Report Staff Report No 21-06-21-BOD
As outlined in MNRFrsquos May 2010 ldquoPolicies and Procedures for Conservation Authority Plan Review and Permitting Activitiesrdquo (the ldquoCALCrdquo report) permit applications under the Conservation Authorities Act will generally be processed within specified timelines This document identifies that conservation authorities are to make a decision (ie recommendation to approve or recommendation for refusal with right to an appeal) with respect to a permission (permit) application and pursuant to the Conservation Authorities Act within 30 days for a complete minor application and 90 days for a complete major application
The NVCA will notify applicants in writing within 21 days of the receipt of a permission (permit) application as to whether the application has been deemed complete or not The applicant should pre-consult with NVCA staff prior to submission of an application to determine complete permit application requirements for specific projects

1 Publicly accessible agreements and policies that guide reviews and decision making
2 CA online screening maps
3 CA annual report to Conservation Ontario on review timelines
The Client Service Standards report provided client service targets for review of permit applications under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act (Table 3 of document at link included below) Under the Client Service Standards prior permit applications classified as lsquoClearance LetterLetter of Approvalrsquo have been renamed lsquoRoutine Permit Applicationsrsquo The following target timelines have been identified

Recommendation
WHEREAS the provincial government has presented regulatory legislative amendments related to the CAA
RESOLVED THAT the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) board of directors accepts this report for information and review
Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with information pertaining to the proposed regulatory changes to the CAA as described in Phase 1 of the Regulatory Guide as currently posted on the ERO
Background
The Recently released phase 1 regulatory changes guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) which is posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) for review and comments until June 27 2021 includes proposed new regulations that focus conservation authorities (CAs) on their core mandate by prescribing mandatory programs and services they must provide give municipalities greater control over funding consolidate ldquoConservation Areardquo regulations and to require community advisory boards
Page 71 of 99
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
KEY POINTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
bull The CAA continues to provide for watershed-based natural resource management supporting the original intent of the 1946 CAA
bull The Act does not limit the scope of work CAs can undertake with municipalities (eg stormwater monitoring NHS system development planning and policy support)
bull The general levy financing model will be different Specific changes will be defined in the pending regulations for mandatory programs Levy is not expected to decrease
bull It is expected that the costs for Source Water Protection will be downloaded from the Province to the municipalities (approximately $178000 annually for NVCA)
bull The new model allows for municipalities to opt into or out of non-mandatory programs that they currently support through the special shared levy Some programs cannot be effectively delivered if not supported watershed-wide (eg monitoring trails and watershed planning efforts)
bull CAs will be required to have formal agreements andor memorandums of understanding for work they do with municipalities These agreements will be time-limited requiring routine updates
SHORT HISTORY ON CHANGES TO THE CAA
2015 Province (Liberal Government) initiates review of CAA 2017 December Bill 139 passes but elements not proclaimed before June 2018
election 2019 April 5th Province posts proposals to change to the CAA to ERO Bill 108
tabled with changes to the CAA before ERO posting closed Bill 108 passes June 6th
2020 January and February consultation sessions with stakeholders on the efficiencies consistency transparency and oversight of CArsquos
2020 November 5th Bill 229 tabled with Schedule 6 containing additional changes to the CAA Bill 229 with Schedule 6 passes December 8th
2021 January ndash MECP forms Conservation Authority Working Group to advise on regulations to support act
2021 February 2 2021 province proclaims some governance and transparency provisions and minor administrative amendments
KEY CHANGES AND IMPLICATIONS
Bill 139 - 2017 bull Added a purpose to the Act that supported and reinforced the objects of
CAs The purpose of this Act is to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation restoration
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 72 of 99
development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario
bull Added improved enforcement tools with stop work orders and substantially increased fines for individual and corporate offences
Bill 108 ndash 2019
bull Categorizes CA programs and services as either mandatory or non-mandatory Mandatory programs and services are loosely defined as natural hazards conservation and management of CA owned or managed lands and source water protection with details of specific elements in the pending regulations
bull The Act allows for other mandatory programs and services to be added at a later date
bull Mandatory programs and services are to be supported by general levy assessed to each municipality based on the CVA apportionment
bull Concerns were expressed that watershed planning and management are not specifically included in mandatory programs but that scope remains in the CAArsquos purpose objects and powers
bull The scope of what is considered supportive of mandatory programs is currently being defined by Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks staff through the pending regulations
bull The Provincial Conservation Authorities Working Group was formed to advise the Province on the scope of regulations CAs hope the updated regulations will ensure a continued comprehensive approach to CA programs Non-mandatory programs and services would be voluntarily supported by a municipality through special benefitting levy or capital
bull Non-mandatory programs will need to be supported by memorandums of understand or service level agreements It is not yet known if the Province will dictate the requirements for these agreements The Act allows for CAs to undertake programs and services that are supported by other revenue sources (eg self-generated revenue or grants) A transition period will be prescribed in the pending regulations
bull The Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks has suggested fiscal year 2022 for implementation which is not realistic due to current budget timelines to meet municipal requirements and the expected amount of work necessary to complete memorandums of understand or service level agreements
Bill 229 ndash 2020
bull Governance changes include the requirement for all appointees to a CA board to be municipally elected councilors Term limits of one year and no more than two consecutive terms are in place for Chair and Vice Chair These positions must be rotated through member municipalities with a possible exemption The bill allows the Minister of Natural Resources and
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 73 of 99
Forestry (MNRF) to issue Section 28 permits before or after consideration by a CA
bull CAs have expressed concern that permits may be issued without adequate technical evaluation or local context
bull CAs are required to issue permits for works within a Ministerrsquos Zoning Order (MZO) area regardless of whether they meet current regulations PPS or CA policy or best practices so long as they are not in the Greenbelt CAs can provide conditions with the permits but the applicant can appeal directly to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
2021 Proposed Regulatory Changes under the Conservation Authorities Act
Phase 1 The current regulatory proposal consists of the following bull Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Programs bull Transition Plans and MOU Timelines bull Community Advisory Boards bull Section 29 Regulations
MANDATORY NON-MANDATORY
What does Mandatory mean
Through recent changes to the CAA the Province has defined Mandatory programs as programs and services related to
bull Natural Hazards bull Management of Conservation Authority owned or managed lands bull Drinking Water Source Protection bull Other Items to be Prescribed Core Watershed-Based Resource
Management Strategy Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring
What does Non-Mandatory mean
Non-Mandatory is divided into two categories bull Municipal Service Agreements (ie Planning Agreements or RMO
Agreements)
bull Other Programs and Services
Current Levy Structure
bull Board of Directorrsquos votes on and approves total budget and total levy
portion of the budget
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 74 of 99
bull Weighted collection of levy from all member municipalities based on their percentage of Modified Current Value Assessment
bull Special project may be fee for service or special benefiting levy
New Levy Structure
bull Mandatory programs and services will maintain the current levy structure bull Municipal Services will require an agreement to define fee for service or levy
amount bull Other programs and services will either need to be wholly funded by the CA
or will require an MOUAgreement with each municipality for its share of the requested levy
Working Together for Watershed Management
bull MOUAgreements for Non-Mandatory programs and services are required to be in place by January 1 2023
bull Transition plans defining how wersquoll accomplish this must be completed by December 31 2021

Page 75 of 99
bull Composition (technical skillsruralurban etc) bull When meetings occur bull Termduration of appointments bull Additional activities or functions of members bull Number of members bull Activities bull Functions bull Duties and procedures
CHANGES TO SECTION 29 REGULATIONS
Once the new section 29 of the Conservation Authorities Act is proclaimed a Ministerrsquos regulation is proposed to consolidate the current individual authority section 29 lsquoConservation Areasrsquo regulations regarding activities on lands owned by conservation authorities into one regulation
IssuesAnalysis
If the regulations pass as presented they will completely change the current budget process used by Conservation Authorities (CAs) The proposed changes raise the following concerns
Timelines for agreements lines up with new municipal elections - what will happen when councilrsquos go ldquoLame duckrdquo will there be issues
When new councils are installed will their vision line up with previous council concerning the results of the negotiations for MOUs and MOAs
How will the public react to ldquoRecreationrsquosrdquo exclusion from Mandatory definition for Management of CA owned lands
How will CAs deal with associated costs and staff resource requirements to address any new service standards and timelines associated with delivery of mandatory programs including
There could be a possible increase in natural hazard management
Cost could also increase in order to provide additional identified core work areas including Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Land Management Strategy Property Management Plans and Community Advisory Boards
Phase 1 Regulatory Changes Guide to the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) Staff Report No 22-06-21-BOD
Page 76 of 99
Relevance to Authority PolicyMandate
This is very important information for the NVCA as it will inform our organization on how the December changes to legislation within the CAA will be implemented by CAs through the application of these proposed regulations The appropriate NVCA Administration Bylaws will be presented to the board of directors for approval and then amended by NVCA staff to accommodate the changes once they are proclaimed
Impact on Authority Finances
There could be considerable impact to CAs finances as a result of the regulatory changes Phase 2 is expected to include a minimum levy for Conservation Authority costs not related to delivery of specific programs and services which could include
bull Staffing and expenses for the authority members (governance costs) bull General corporate services management clerical financial (eg
accounting payroll) general asset management planning IT staff senior management costs legal costs office equipment and supplies IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery and insurance
bull General Administrative Assets workshop space main office occupancy costs (eg heating utilities potentially rent) general asset management planning IT infrastructure vehicles and machinery depreciation on owned buildings and equipment and main office maintenance and repair
bull Property taxes
A couple of other unknowns are Source Water Protection funding set annually at $178000 and Fees charged by CAs

Wasaga tees up settlement talks
over residential development on
golf course
May 17 2021 by Ian Adams
Wasaga Sun
Wasaga Beach will try to reach a
settlement agreement with the owners
of Marlwood Golf and Country Club as
it prepares for a land planning tribunal
hearing over a residential
development proposal
Councilrsquos co-ordinated committee
agreed to a recommendation that
authorized staff to try and reach a
settlement with TPC at Marlwood on
its proposal to build 60 residential
units in two blocks overlooking the
course
One block on the first fairway would
be nine units The second block
coming off Masters Lane is 51 units
and would front onto the 17th fairway
The original submission for 65 units
was filed in 2017 It was revised in
2020 to what is currently proposed
Marlwood had filed an appeal to the
Land Planning Appeal Tribunal in
January after the town failed to
provide a decision on its development
application
A case management conference is
scheduled for June 16
According to a report to committee by
the townrsquos planner Todd Weatherall
the proposed development does
conform to provincial regional and
municipal planning policies though
there are several unresolved issues
dealing with natural heritage issues
identified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry and the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority
However he noted those issues could
be addressed through a revision of the
development boundaries and policies
in the proposed zoning bylaw
amendment
ldquoDiscussions on these matters can
resolve the appeal without litigationrdquo
Weatherall wrote ldquoA settlement will
allow the town to negotiate terms with
the owner to ensure that the townrsquos
interests are consideredrdquo
In a 2018 public meeting on the
development application residents
who live in the area expressed
concern about the impact on wildlife
and habitat traffic and the effect on
existing homeowners and the golf
course
Director of planning Doug Herron told
the committee the applicant has
addressed some of the concerns
raised by the public
(Editors note Article corrected on
May 18 to indicate the nine unit block
would be along the first fairway an
original version stated the fifth
fairway Simcoecom apologizes for
any confusion caused)

Gypsy moths are in Collingwood
but you might have to wait them
out
Simcoe County is seeing an outbreak
of the destructive moths but their
days are numbered according to
forestry experts watching the trees

Therersquos an invasive moth hungry for
trees in Collingwood but with a little
luck the damage it leaves behind
wonrsquot be permanent
The local conservation authority has
confirmed earlier predictions by
Simcoe County and the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry that
2021 would bring an outbreak of
European gypsy moths
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA) published a bulletin
on the invasive species noting there
will be a peak in the population of the
destructive caterpillars and moths this
year and likely for the next couple of
years
Rick Grillmayer the NVCArsquos manager
of forestry said hersquos seen caterpillars
travelling across large fields in search
of foraging areas
ldquoWhen populations of gypsy moth are
as high as they are anticipated for this
year there really isnrsquot much
landowners can do to control the
infestation other than to patiently
wait it outrdquo said Grillmayer in the
NVCA bulletin
In Collingwood Parks Manager Wendy
Martin confirmed there are spots
where the gypsy moth has become
prevalent
ldquoWe have a couple of hot spots in
town Mair Mills is one areardquo said
Martin
However the town is taking the lsquowait
patientlyrsquo approach
ldquoCurrently the town does not have the
resources to control gypsy moths on
private or town landrdquo said Martin
The County of Simcoersquos forestry
department reports gypsy moths are
non-native invasive insects from
Europe and theyrsquove been in Ontario
since 1969
The caterpillars feed on deciduous and
some coniferous trees in May and
June causing trees to lose their leaves
(defoliation) during peak years They
seem to like oak trees and though
they look similar to tent caterpillars
they do not make tents
Though trees can suffer and even die
from multiple years of defoliation that
is not always the case
Page 91 of 99
ldquoAs population levels [of gypsy moths]
typically collapse back to low densities
within one to three years of outbreak
no substantive or long-lasting impacts
to overall forest health has resulted
historicallyrdquo states the Simcoe County
Forestry website
According to an egg mass survey of
county forests in 2020 the most
noticeable impacts have been in the
Midland Tiny Penetanguishene Tay
and Adjala-Tosorontio areas
The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has
mapped areas with defoliation caused
by gypsy moths in 2020 and
confirmed a general outbreak across
much of the province Yoursquoll find the
mapping here
The City of Barrie is trying to combat
the caterpillars with insecticide
injections into the tree and wrapping
the trunks in tape sticky side out
Living Green Project director Andee
Pelan told BarrieToday it is anticipated
that trees in Simcoe County will be
severely affected this year
ldquoThe European gypsy moth has a
seven- to 10-year cycle hellip this year
will see a peak in its population cyclerdquo
said Pelan ldquoTypically when
populations rise rapidly they are
usually followed by a crash from a
host-specific virus or fungusrdquo
The county has confirmed the
presence of Nucleopolyhedrosis virus
(NPV) andor Entomophaga maimaiga
fungus in the county forest areas and
confirmed it has caused insect
mortality
Pelan said using tape to try to prevent
the caterpillars from eating the tree
isnrsquot necessarily the best idea
ldquoThere have been quite a lot of reports
of other wildlife like birds getting
trapped as well We will however be
using the burlap wrap-trap technique
in a couple of weeks thoughrdquo she
said ldquoThis will include physically
picking the caterpillars off the tree and
drowning them in a bucket of soapy
water just like we did with the
Japanese beetlesrdquo
Its pretty gross but it worksrdquo
The NVCA said the area may also get
some help from the skies but not in
the form of aerial spraying which has
to be widespread and can be
detrimental to native butterflies and
moths
ldquoDuring our spring bird monitoring
surveys wersquove seen a noticeable
increase in bird species that specialize
in eating caterpillars like gypsy mothrdquo
said Dave Featherstone a senior
ecologist at the NVCA in their latest
bulletin ldquoWe are more frequently
coming across avian species like the
black and yellow-billed cuckoos and
the rufous-sided twohees We also
saw black-capped chickadees eating
egg masses during the winterrdquo
Martin directed Collingwood
landowners who might be seeing
evidence of gypsy moths and
caterpillars on their trees to
the County of Simcoe website where
there is a list of resources and
information on how to find a certified
arborist or professional forester to
help

NVCA review new proposals for
Conservation Authorities Act
June 3 2021 by Brian Lockhart
Toronto Star
With changes coming to the
Conservation Authorities Act the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority is reviewing the first phase
of changes in the Regulatory Proposal
Consultation Guide
Part of the guide details the
mandatory and non-mandatory
programs and services conservation
authorities will implement along with
the timelines to establish service
agreements with municipalities
Under the proposed regulations guide
the NVCA will be able to continue
integrated watershed management
work such as protecting and
enhancing water quality and quantity
identifying flood and erosion risks and
managing storm water systems
The process helps the NVCA to
manage human activities and natural
resources on a watershed while taking
into account social economic and
environmental issues as well as the
impact of growth and climate change
ldquoI am extremely proud of the
collaborative work that the
Conservation Authority Working Group
(CAWG) was able to do to assist the
development of the regulation guiderdquo
said Doug Hevenor CAO of the NVCA
ldquoOn behalf of NVCA I would like to
thank the province for including a
wide range of stakeholders in the
development of the guiderdquo
The Conservation Authority Working
Group was established by the Province
of Ontario in January 2021 and
includes representatives from
conservation authorities Conservation
Ontario the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario and
development and agricultural groups
The first task of CAWG included
looking at the first phase of proposed
regulations that impact conservation
authorities and their participating
municipalities
ldquoIrsquom so please the province has
recognized a watershed-wide
approach to management as the best
way to approach conservation issuesrdquo
said Mariane McLeod NVCA chair ldquoIrsquom
grateful that our staff will have
sufficient time to work with our 18
member municipalities to develop
Memoranda of Understanding for the
services out conservation authority

Later this year the province will
consult on the second phase of the
proposed regulations which will
include details on municipal levies
related to mandatory and non-
mandatory programs and service
standards
