The Town provided terms of reference for implementation studies including the EIS, within OPA 129. In accordance, the EIS includes:
- Identification and description of the character, natural attributes and functions of the environmental features and the relationship to the proposed development
- Identification of potential impacts of the proposed development on environmental features
- Recommendation of specific measures to mitigate potential impacts on environmental features
- Outline of a management plan to protect and enhance or rehabilitate environmental features during and following development construction
- Outline of a monitoring plan to ensure that the plans and recommendations of this report are carried out through, during and following construction
We undertook a concordance between the EIS requirements under OPA 129 and the requirements of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan to develop a harmonized work program to satisfy both planning processes.
