Page 7: Appendix B-2 Public Information Centre Display Boards

Highway 407 East Phase 1 is proceeding as a Public Private Partnership (P3). In May 2012, the Ontario Ministry of Transporta on (MTO) and Infrastructure Ontario (IO) selected the 407 East Development Group (407EDG) to design, build, nance and maintain Highway 407 East Phase 1.407EDG is comprised of two partners, each with decades of experience building and maintaining highways around the world:

CINTRA INFRAESTRUCTURAS S.A. (CINTRA)

CINTRA is one of the world’s leading private developers of transport infrastructure, with more than 40 years experience in developing and managing highways.

SNC-LAVALIN INC., THROUGH SNC-LAVALIN CAPITAL DIVISION

SNC-Lavalin is one of the world’s leading engineering and construc on rms, with some 5,000 employees in 13 o ces in Ontario.

How We Are Going to Consult

407 EastDevelopment Group

Page 9: Appendix B-2 Public Information Centre Display Boards

Design and Construc on Reports During the EA process, a number of commitments to mi gate poten al e ects were made. During the design, 407EDG will prepare Design and Construc on Reports (DCRs) to showhow these commitments are being incorporated into the Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project.A series of DCRs will be prepared in 2013 to document:

the design;consulta on completed on the design;approvals and permitsenvironmental impacts and mi ga on; andhow commitments made during the Environmental Assessment will be implemented.

DCRs will be prepared and made available for a 30-day review period prior to construc on of the work outlined in each report. Comments received will be considered and incorporated into the design, if appropriate.The works proposed to be included in each DCR are shown on the next display. The proposed construc on presented at this PIC will be documented in DCR #2. As shown in the overall DCR Plan for the Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project, further details on the works associated with other DCRs will be provided at future PICs.

Reuse of Stones

Building Demoli on – Buildings within the Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project will be demolished and removed.

Built Heritage An Adap ve Reuse Strategy for built heritage resources (buildings) of high cultural heritage value or interest is being implementedAdap ve reuse means using por ons of heritage resources for other purposes (e.g., stones used in gateway features)The salvaging and adap ve reuse of materials is part of the Community Value Plan for the Project, which iden ed cultural, social and historical values and concerns of stakeholders in communi es near the corridorSeveral loca ons are being examined where adap ve reuse plans may be implemented. This may involve the use of select building materials (bricks, stone, wood) for commemora ve heritage sites within and abu ng the highway corridor, with opportuni es provided to local municipali es to use material for their own cultural heritage ini a ves

Construc on Noise

Construc on ac vi es typically cause temporary noise and vibra on impacts to the nearby community. Noise and vibra on mi ga on measures to be implemented during construc on of Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project include:

Using construc on equipment that is in good repair, ed with properly func oning mu ers, and complies with the noise emission standards outlined in Ministry of the Environment guidelinesTo the greatest extent possible, limi ng the most noisy construc on ac vi es to day me hours and working in accordance with municipal noise by-law requirementsWhere the sequencing of construc on permits, building permanent noise barriers and/or berms during the early phases of construc onMaximizing the distance between the construc on staging areas and nearby residents to the greatest extent possibleMaintaining construc on haul roads to prevent potholes and ruts. This will help avoid the loud noise caused by construc on vehicles travelling over uneven road surfaces.A Complaints Protocol has been established by 407EDG on how it will deal with and respond to inquiries and complaints received during construc on

Potential Environmental Effects and Proposed Mitigation

Page 30: Appendix B-2 Public Information Centre Display Boards

Dust

Air quality concerns related to dust from construc on can result from excava on and earth removal; use of construc on equipment and vehicles; material load-out to trucks; and wind erosion of stockpiles and exposed areas.

Dust mi ga on measures to be implemented during construc on of the Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project include:

Periodic watering or stabiliza on of disturbed and exposed soilsSweeping and/or water ushing of the entrances to construc on zonesUsing water or other approved dust suppressants on access and haul roadsMonitoring of air quality during construc on will be undertaken at 2

designated sampling sta ons

Water Quality Protec on and Flow Management

Highway 407 East Phase 1 has the poten al to adversely e ect surface water and groundwater quality. Protec on and management measures to be implemented during construc on of the Highway 407 East Phase 1 Project include:

Groundwater and surface water monitoring to protect sh habitat and wetlands Private wells adjacent to the construc on will be monitoredConstruc on of permanent stormwater management ponds for treatment of highway runo

Design and implement erosion and sediment control measures, including:Erosion and Sediment Control Plan to protect sheries, surface water, and adjacent vegeta on and proper esUse of Best Management Prac ces in MTO’s “Environmental Guide for Erosion and Sediment Control during Construc on of Highway Projects” and other guidelines as appropriateConduct regular inspec ons of all temporary erosion and sediment control devices, including maintenance and repair of all damaged measures, to ensure protec on of water quality in streams

Vegeta on and Wildlife

Vegeta on Restora on Plans have been developed to o set the removal of vegeta on as a result of the Highway 407 East Phase 1 project using ecological principles and na ve plant species for restoring/enhancing/crea ng vegeta on communi es to meet the 1:1 compensa on ra o for forest and wetland, which is a commitment in the EA.Undertake forest edge management, tree protec on and soil amendment measuresImplement Invasive Species Management Plan (e.g., garlic mustard)Monitor plan ng success and ini ate correc ve ac on, if requiredPoten al e ects on wildlife include habitat loss, changes in habitat quality, wildlife mortality, and reduced movement/connec on. Key proposed mi ga on measures include:

Design, construc on and monitoring of wildlife crossings, with direc onal barrier fencing and vegeta on plan ngs, with the goal of reducing road mortality and facilita ng movement through known wildlife corridors. Vegeta on clearing will occur outside the April 21 to July 31 breeding period for migratory birds

Fish and Fish Habitat A comprehensive strategy is being developed to compensate for the required realignments of watercourses and e ects to sh habitat from the Project. The new stream realignments to accommodate the proposed structural works presented in PIC #2 will require federal approval under the Fisheries Act and provincial approval under the Endangered Species Act, 2007. The scope of this work is expected to include:

Stream realignments of East Du ns Creek Tributary, West Oshawa Creek Tributary and Lynde Creek Tributary A (approx. 2,312 m) using:

Natural channel design principles to mimic exis ng watercourse channels (width, water depths and slope)Riparian plan ngs of na ve vegeta on to restore and enhancecover and food sources, help regulate water temperature through shadingand reduce erosionNatural substrates, ri es, pools and in-stream cover to enhance

sh habitatKey mi ga on measures to protect sh and sh habitat during construc on include:

Fish rescue and reloca on procedures All work within watercourses will be conducted within the applicable construc on ming windows to ensure protec on of sh during their spawning and nursery periodsErosion and sediment control devices to prevent sediment from entering watercourses
