The crossing is to conform to the recent standards established by the Province of Ontario and published in the Ontario Traffic Manual (OTM) Book 15. These new provincial standards provide a standardized design template across the Province of Ontario for locations where pedestrian crossings are common, such as midblock crossing of recreational trails or intensive activity (e.g. adjacent to schools or employment nodes). These pedestrian crossing treatments may also be considered at roadway intersections and midblock crossings which do not meet warrants for traffic signals. The location under consideration in this report is identified on Figure 1.0. As identified, the Port Burwell Lighthouse is an intensive activity that creates a desire line for pedestrians to cross Robinson Street. Since there is currently no traffic control infrastructure to protect pedestrians crossing Robinson Street at the lighthouse, the Municipality has directed that an analysis be completed to assess user needs and determine the most appropriate pedestrian crossing treatment. As part of this report, a recommendation and cost estimate has been provided for a future pedestrian crossover and accounts for pavement markings, signage, and street lighting infrastructure at the subject location in accordance with industry best practices and provincial standards. _:);!_ RC SPENCER ASSOCIATES INC.

These new PXO layouts for low-speed, low- volume roads would be an option for municipalities to consider using at locations where they are planning to install non-signalized pedestrian crossings. Before installing pedestrian crossovers, road authorities take into consideration numerous factors including pedestrian and vehicle volumes, vehicle speeds, crossing distance, road user characteristics and visibility to ensure that the operation of crossovers do not create notable traffic disruptions. Further, pedestrian crossovers are installed on roadways with a maximum posted speed of 60km/h and maximum four lanes of two-way traffic." "The purpose of OTM Book 15—Pedestrian Crossing Treatments is to provide practical guidance and application information on the planning, design, and operation of pedestrian roadway crossings treatments for transportation practitioners and to promote uniformity of approaches across Ontario. The set of guidelines provided within[the]manual are consistent with the intent of the Highway Traffic Act(HTA)with respect to the pedestrian crossing applications and provide a basis for road authorities to generate or update their own guidelines and standards." "The OTM Book 15 — Pedestrian Crossing Treatments includes consolidated references to relevant material that is provided in other OTM Books as applicable to pedestrian crossing treatments. For newly established practices, Book 15 will supersede previously released OTM Books on pedestrian crossings." "The OTM incorporates current best practices in Ontario. The guidelines are intended to provide an understanding of traffic operations and they cover a broad range of traffic situations encountered in practice. They are based on many factors which may determine the specific design and operational effectiveness of traffic control systems. However, no manual can cover all contingencies or all cases encountered in the field. Therefore, field experience, knowledge of application, and engineering judgement are essential in deciding what to do in the absence of specific direction from the Manual itself and in overriding any recommendations in the Manual. Similarly, municipalities may need to adopt policies that reflect local conditions. The traffic practitioner's fundamental responsibility is to exercise engineering judgment on technical matters in the best interests of the public and workers. Guidelines are provided in the OTM to supplement professional experience and assist in making those judgments." The following pages of this report use the OTM methodology and apply current traffic volume information to develop a recommended configuration at the Robinson Street location in Port Burwell. _: ,7y RC SPENCER ASSOCIATES INC. ti� Consulting Engineers Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Assessment Robinson Street at Lighthouse, Port Burwell, Ontario Page 4 PEDESTRIAN CROSSOVER WARRANT AND SELECTION Preliminary assessment for this location is completed by use of the Decision Support Tool found on page 26 of the Ontario Traffic Manual, Book 15: Install IPS,MPS or Full Traffic Signal Warranted Yew Traffic Signal based on for Pedestrians? the guidelines provided In OTM Book 12 I. r 8-hr Ped.Vol.?100 and 8-hr Veh.Vol.X750?

'%r`rr- Consulting Engineers Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Assessment Robinson Street at Lighthouse, Port Burwell, Ontario Page 7 CONCLUSION The configuration of the proposed PXO at the Port Burwell Lighthouse crossing Robinson Street is based on Robinson Street as a two-lane road with no bike lanes and a 50 km/h speed limit. Traffic volumes of about 364 vehicles per day were observed by the Municipality (Appendix A), which translates to about 182 vehicles over an 8-hour period. The cross-section of Robinson Street is approximately 7.0m wide, so it is deemed to be a two-lane cross-section. Therefore, the most appropriate typical layout of the PXO design mandated by the warrant and selection procedure is "Level 2, Type D". A dimensioned template for the installation is provided on the previous page (Fig. 39 from OTM Book 15). The probable cost to implement this pedestrian crossing treatment is between $15,000 and $20,000. A detailed statement of probable cost is provided in Appendix B.

(Pedro Dyck) BACKGROUND: Council will recall from the March 7, 2019 meeting consideration was given to a consent application from 1841449 Ontario Inc. for 7855 Plank Rd proposing an undersized surplus farm dwelling parcel and no on-site water source. Council's recommendations to realign the parcel and add a water source were acknowledged and the applicant has submitted an amended application to consider. An amended Consent application E16/19 was received from the Elgin County Land Division Committee on March 20, 2019 proposing to sever a 0.4 hectare (originally 0.26 ha) parcel and retain 41 ha (originally 41.2 hectares), Part Lot 15 Concession 5, known municipally as 7855 Plank Road for the purpose of severing a surplus farm dwelling. The subject lands are designated "Agriculture", "Natural Gas Reservoir" and "Natural Heritage" on Schedule "Al" Municipality of Bayham: Land Use and "Hazard Lands", "Significant Woodlands" and "Existing Petroleum Wells" on Schedule `A2' Municipality of Bayham: Constraints of the Official Plan and zoned Agriculture (Al-A) and LPRCA Regulation Limit on Schedule "A" Map No. 8 in the Zoning By-law No. Z456-2003.

C-07/ D13.FROE Roll # 3401-000-006-05700 SUBJECT: Rezoning Application — Froese Zoning By-law Z685-2019 BACKGROUND: Isaac and Maria Froese submitted a rezoning application to rezone their property at 10909 Plank Road. The property is subject to Consent Application E92/18 granted March 20, 2019 for the purpose of severing a surplus farm dwelling. A public meeting was held April 4, 2019 with no public comments and no attendees. At the time of writing this report no additional applicant or public comments have been received. The purpose of this By-law is to change the zoning regulations on the 71 ha (176 acres) retained lot from an Agricultural (A1) zone to a Special Agricultural (A2) zone; and to change the 1.2 ha (2.99 acres) of severed lands from an Agricultural (A1) zone to a site-specific Rural Residential (RR-38) Zone in Zoning By-law Z456-2003. The new residential lot is created surplus to a consolidated farm operation. The retained lands are located at 10909 Plank Road, on the west side of Plank Road, north of Maple Grove Line. The effect of this By-law will be to fulfil two conditions of consent. Firstly, to recognize zero lot frontage, for access via right-of-way, for the severed lands and, secondly, to change the retained lands to an A2 Zone in order to prohibit residential development. DISCUSSION The amended consent application was supported by Council on March 7, 2019 proposing to sever the dwelling as surplus to the farm corporation. The rezoning of both the severed and retained parcels is a condition of the consent. The retained lands will be rezoned to Special Agricultural (A2) to prohibit new dwellings. The surplus dwelling will be rezoned to site-specific Rural Residential (RR-38) with a prohibition of livestock as per the Official Plan policies for surplus farm dwelling severances. Staff and planner Staff Report DS-27/19 Froese 2 are supportive of the purpose and effect of the zoning amendments to satisfy the condition of consent and recommend approval. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Rezoning Application January 22, 2019 2. Draft Zoning By-law Z685-2019 RECOMMENDATION THAT Report DS-27/19 regarding Froese rezoning application be received for information; AND THAT pursuant to Planning Act Regulations Bill 73 Smart Growth for our Communities Act, 2015, it be pointed out that at the public participation meeting held April 4, 2019 associated with this application, there were no written submissions and no oral presentations regarding this matter and that all considerations were taken into account in Council's decision passing this resolution; AND THAT Zoning By-law Z456-2003, as amended, be further amended by changing the zoning on the lands owned by Isaac and Maria Froese described as Concession 8 Part Lots 19 and 20 from Agriculture (A1)to Special Agricultural (A2) on the retained lands and from Agriculture(A1) to site-specific Rural Residential (RR-38)on the severed surplus farm dwelling portion; AND THAT Zoning By-law Z685-2019 be presented to Council for enactment.

C-07/ D09.19 Giesbrecht Roll # 3401-000-004-16300 SUBJECT: Consent Application E20/19 Giesbrecht BACKGROUND: A consent application E20/19 was originally received on March 7, 2019 followed by an amended application on March 15, 2019 from the Elgin County Land Division Committee submitted by Peter and Maria Giesbrecht proposing to sever one lot with 30.48 metres frontage and 75.9 metres depth, overall area of 2314.65 m2(0.57 acre). The owner would retain 2838.75 m2 (0.70 acre). The subject land is within the boundary of the Village of Straffordville. Lands are designated "Residential" on Schedule 'B' Straffordville: Land Use and Constraints in the Official Plan. Lands are zoned Village Residential (R1) Zone on Schedule "F" in Zoning By-law No. Z456- 2003. The proposed lot is numbered as 55715 Main Street, Straffordville. Elgin County Land Division Committee will consider the applications on May 9, 2019. DISCUSSION: The consent creates an additional building lot for residential purposes in the settlement area, consistent with the PPS. The consent is consistent with Elgin County Official Plan policies, which support residential intensification and redevelopment within settlement areas. Bayham Official Plan policies encourage residential intensification and infilling on underutilized lands in settlement areas, therefore the proposal is consistent with the Official Plan. The proposal meets the minimum lot setback, lot frontage and depth and lot area regulations of the Village Residential (R1) Zone. Please refer to the planner's memorandum dated March 27, 2019 for further analysis of the application. Regarding municipal services, the lot is serviced with a sanitary sewer stub and a new residence will be required to connect to the municipal sanitary sewer system. An on-site well is required and reports must demonstrate quality and quantity meeting the provincial standards. Staff Report DS-28/19 Giesbrecht Based on the application and review, staff and municipal planner recommend the support of the consent application for the creation of one building lot fronting on Main Street in the village of Straffordville with the recommended conditions.

Surrounding uses are residential in all directions and a split commercial and residential parcel is located to the north across Main Street. 3. Provincial Policy Statement 2014 Section 1.1.3 indicates that settlement areas shall be the focus of growth and development and that regeneration and vitality is promoted in these areas. The consent will create an additional building lot for residential purposes within a settlement area. The proposed consent is consistent with the PPS as the growth is proposed within the settlement area of Straffordville. 4. The Elgin County Official Plan promotes the efficient use of existing and planned infrastructure and encourages minimizing the amount of land required for new development. Section C1.3.2 General Policies indicates that the County supports IBI Group is a group of firms providing professional services and is affiliated with IBI Group Architects IBI GROUP MEMORANDUM 2 Municipality of Bayham—March 19,2019 residential intensification and redevelopment within settlement areas, therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with the Elgin County Official Plan. 5. The Municipality of Bayham Official Plan Section 4.2.2.1 encourages new residential development to consolidate within existing settlement areas by filling in vacant areas and locating new residential development adjacent to existing built-up areas in a compact and contiguous fashion. Section 4.5.2.2 indicates that redevelopment and residential intensification are supported by the Municipality for underutilized lands within a residential designation in villages. The policy also indicates that development must be capable of being serviced with municipal water and sewer services. The subject lands are located in Straffordville which does not have municipal water service. The lot is large enough to install a well for domestic water usage and there has traditionally been an adequate ground water supply in Straffordville, we do not anticipate any issues with water quality and quantity for the new dwelling, however, the applicant will supply testing, to provincial standards, for private water service for the new lot. The proposed consent is consistent with the Official Plan insomuch as residential intensification and infilling on underutilized lands in the village of Straffordville is encouraged and supported. 6. The subject lands are located in the Village Residential (R1) zone in By-law Z456- 2003. The retained lot meets the minimum lot setback, lot frontage, lot depth and lot area regulations of the R1 zone. The severed lot has adequate lot area and lot frontage to accommodate a single detached dwelling in conformity with regulations for lot setbacks in the Zoning By-law. One single detached dwelling is a permitted use in the R1 zone. The proposed consent is in conformity with the Zoning By-law. 7. Based on the above review of consent application E20/19 we have no objection to the proposed consent and recommend the following conditions for consent approval: a) The applicant must install a well with well water quality and quantity testing results to provincial standards for the new lot. b) Payment of cash in lieu of parkland.

C-07/ D09.VANQ Roll # 3401-000-006-10400 SUBJECT: Consent Application E21/19 VanQuaethem Farms Ltd. BACKGROUND Consent application E21/19 was received from the Elgin County Land Division Committee submitted by VanQuaethem Farms Ltd. proposing to sever an irregular shaped parcel of land 767.9 m2(0.19 acres) and to retain 40.4 ha (99 acres) of land with the intent to add to the abutting rural residential lands at 56280 Eden Line. The subject lands are described as Concession 9 Part Lot 18. The subject lands are designated Agricultural on Schedule "A": Land Use in the Official Plan. The lands are zoned Agriculture (Al-A) on Schedule "A" Map No. 2; and the lot addition lands are zoned Rural Residential (RR) in Zoning By-law No. Z456-2003. Elgin County Land Division Committee will consider the application on May 9, 2019. DISCUSSION: The intent is to add the lands to the neighbouring rural residential property to address the location of several existing residential amenities having been located on the lot line or on the surrounding farmlands in error due to a misunderstanding of the boundaries by both parties. The planner's memorandum dated March 27, 2019 analyzes the application subject to the Bayham Official Plan and Zoning By-law policies. The application meets the criteria for the boundary adjustment policies subject to conditions. Based on the application and review, staff and municipal planner recommend the support of the consent application for the addition to a lot with the listed conditions. ATTACHMENTS 1.

The following reasons explain our request. The property was originally part of the family farm owned by Paul and Jose DePlancke.In 1993 the DePlancke's house was severed and the farm land was sold to Brian VanQuathem-VanQuathem Farms. Several years later the DePlancke's house was destroyed in a fire. In 2010 Frank Fehr then purchased the lot and built a new home and a detached shop. Mr.Fehr lived in the home for a year and then sold the property to Jeff and Ann VerMeersch. Jeff and Ann sold the house to us in August 2017. When we first looked at the property both Jeff and Ann and our real estate agent advised us as to where the property boundaries were. Their description made sense to us since the areas were grasslands and trees and obviously had not been farm land. Shortly after we purchased the property we had Kim Husted Surveying mark the corners of the property as we wanted to fence a portion of the yard. This is when we discovered that the grass and trees,that were being maintained by the previous owners,were actually on Brian VanQuathem's property. We have had several discussions with Brian VanQuathem and we have agreed to this boundary adjustment before you. The following reasons explain our request. 1. The southwest part of our concrete driveway is about 1 foot on Brian VanQuathem's property. 2. The hydro pole for our house is on Brian VanQuathem's property along with about 10 meters(30 feet)of the underground service to our house. 3. The well to our property is only off the property line by about 1 meter(3 feet) 4. The west side of the property has an inground sprinkler system and trees that are on the VanQuathem property. 5. The north side of the property has trees,sprinkler lines,a main water line from the well to the detached shop and a brick fire pit that are all on the VanQuathem property. The boundary adjustment that we are requesting will resolve all of the above noted issues. The boundary adjustment does not affect any agricultural land. By achieving this adjustment there will then be about 8 meters(24 feet)between the well and the property line which will insure protection for our drinking water supply. We appreciate your consideration of this matter.

We have completed our review of the consent application submitted by VanQuaethem Farms Ltd. for lands located at Part Lot 18, Concession 9, Eden Line, north side and west of Plank Road.The applicant is requesting consent for severance of 767.9 m2 (8,265 ft2) of land and to retain 40.4 ha (99 acres) of land. The intent is a lot addition to be merged with the abutting property at 56280 Eden Line. The change includes consolidating an encroaching driveway,water line, buried electrical line, and fire pit, and the change will increase the setback from the well to the property line for the residence at 56280 Eden Line.The lands are designated Agricultural on Schedule "A": Land Use in the Official Plan. The lands are zoned Agriculture (Al-A) on Schedule"A", Map No. 2; and the lot addition lands are zoned Rural Residential (RR) in Zoning By-law Z456-2003. 2. The land intended to be severed abuts the north and west boundaries of 56280 Eden Line in an "L" shape. The north side strip is 5m (16 feet) in width at the east side and narrows slightly to the western side; and the western strip is 10m (32 feet) at the south side and narrows to approximately 5 m on the north side. The resulting lot addition is a regularly shaped rectangular parcel. Currently the well is setback 1 m (3 feet) from the property line and is increased to approximately 6 m (19 feet). The driveway encroaches onto the farm parcel by 0.3 m (1 foot) and is increased to 10 m. The severed lands have trees, buried sprinkler lines, a water line (to the accessory building), a brick fire pit and buried electrical wires used by the residential dwelling. The lot frontage is increased from 82 m (269 feet)to 92 m (301 feet) and the lot depth is increased from 56 m (183 feet) to 60 m (196 feet). The residential parcel was created in 1993 under file E134/92. The retained lot is regularly shaped, having a lot frontage of 317 m (1,040 feet) a lot depth of 1,012 m (3,320 feet). The retained parcel is vacant farm field with a small woodlot on the east side. Surrounding uses are agriculture. IBI Group is a group of firms providing professional services and is affiliated with IBI Group Architects IBI GROUP MEMORANDUM 2 Municipality of Bayham—March 27,2019 3. The Municipality of Bayham Official Plan Section 2.1.9 Minor Lot Adjustments indicates that minor boundary adjustments to convey land shall be permitted if no new conveyable lot is created. The intent of the application is to merge the severed lands to the abutting parcel and to continue residential use with no new lot created. Based on no new lot being created the consent is consistent with the Official Plan. 4. The subject lands are located in the Agricultural (Al-A) zone in By-law Z456-2003. The retained lot area of 40.4 ha meets the minimum lot area regulation of 40 ha for the Al-A zone. The addition of the severed lands does not reduce established lot setbacks and the lot setbacks and lot area are in conformity to the RR zone regulations. One single detached dwelling is a permitted use in the RR zone. The severed lands require a zone change consistent with the merged lands. 5. Based on the above review of consent application E21/19 we have no objection to the proposed consent to sever 767.9 m2 from the subject lands to add to the adjacent parcel, with the following conditions: a. That the applicant merge the severed lands with the 560 Eden Line lands to create one lot. b. That the applicant zone the severed lands to a Rural Residential (RR) zone. eWta IBI Group Paul Riley, CPT Consulting Planner to the Municipality of Bayham LONG POINT REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY BOARD OF DIRECTORS Annual General Meeting — February 22, 2019 r..� Approved April 3, 2019 Members in attendance: Dave Beres, Robert Chambers, Kristal Chopp, Michael Columbus, Valerie Donnell, Roger Geysens, John Scholten and Peter Ypma Staff in attendance: J.

Debbie Thain, Forestry Technician 10 years Barry Norman, Forestry Labourer 10 years Roger Geysens, LPRCA board member from Norfolk County 15 years CONSERVATION STEWARDSHIP AWARD PRESENTATION LPRCA encourages everyone to help enhance and protect the watershed and supports private land stewardship. The Conservation Stewardship award was created to recognize those individuals who take action to enhance and protect the watershed as well as their own properties. The second annual LPRCA Conservation Stewardship Award presented by Chair Columbus was awarded to Glenn Coon. Mr. Coon and his wife Pam have made a commitment to positive environmental actions that contribute to a more sustainable and healthier watershed as part of the Alternative Land Use Services (ALUS) Norfolk. Their farm properties, located in Port Rowan, include reforestation projects, tallgrass prairie projects and numerous wetlands that support and improve wildlife. Projects include 20 habitat nesting structures, two erosion control structures and berms, as well as two hickenbottom structures. They also have two grassed waterways, 16 reforestation projects as well as a large volume of native grassland plantings; and nine wetland projects have been either created or enhanced. Mr. and Mrs. Coon thanked LPRCA for the award which they stated was made possible with the help and expertise of LPRCA, ALUS Norfolk and Trees Ontario. With the support they have received over the years from their community they felt the need to give back and do their little bit to mitigate climate change. NEW BUSINESS a) UTV SIDE BY SIDE TENDER A UTV was purchased in 2018 for Backus as a test to replace a rented pickup truck.

This one-time top-up will provide additional support to municipalities that face infrastructure deficits to support improved productivity, economic growth,a clean environment,and help to build strong cities and communities. This special funding will be provided to Ontario recipients under the Canada—Ontario— Association of Municipalities of Ontario—Toronto Gas Tax Fund Administrative Agreement. An amount of$819,443,895 will be provided to Ontario as well as individual signatories, and will then be distributed to ultimate recipients in accordance with the allocation formula used for gas tax payments made in 2018, as follows: • Ontario: $819,443,895 o Association Municipalities of Ontario $649,940,923 o City of Toronto $167,421,424 o Province of Ontario $2,081,548 Funds must be used in accordance with all the terms of the current Gas Tax Fund Administrative Agreement. Information on Ontario's federal Gas Tax Fund allocations per community prior to Budget 2019 can be found on Infrastructure Canada's website'. The gas tax top-up funding is expected to be transferred following royal assent of Budget 2019. March 14, 2019 marked one year since the Canada—Ontario Integrated Bilateral Agreement was signed. 'https: /www.canada.ca/en/office-infrastructure/news/2018/backgrounder-ontarios-2018-19-federal-gas- tax-fund-alfocations.html ...2 Canada - 2 - As I know you appreciate, under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program,proposed projects must first be prioritized by the province before they are submitted to Infrastructure Canada for consideration. As a reminder, through the Integrated Bilateral Agreement with Ontario, $11.9 billion is available to the province and is broken down as follows: - $8.3 billion for public transit; - $2.8 billion for green infrastructure; - $407 million for community, culture, and recreation infrastructure; and - $250 million for infrastructure in rural and northern communities. The one-time top-up to the Gas Tax Fund adds substantial dollars to this Agreement. More importantly, those dollars flow to you. We believe this is an important step to take to ensure your local priorities have the resources needed so projects can get moving and, crucially, the summer construction season is not missed. We all know how important that season is to make real progress on projects,not to mention job creation locally. In the meantime, we continue to press the Ontario government to open intakes for all four streams so as to maximize the number of projects we can build together for Ontarians in 2019 and the years ahead. We know you have proposals ready, and last week's announcement in Budget 2019 is a clear signal that we are there to support you. Spring is already (at last) in the air. It is time to get projects moving so we do not lose a historic opportunity to build our communities and create good-paying jobs now. I look forward to continuing to work with you on our shared infrastructure interests. Yours sincerely, The Honourable Francois-Philippe Champagne, P.C., M.P. Minister of Infrastructure and Communities c.c. City Clerk and Council Enclosure—Gas Tax Fund fact sheet THEFEDERAL The federal Gas Tax Fund delivers over $2 billion every year to GAS TAX FUND over 3600 communities across the country. For the 2018-19 fiscal year, this represents an investment of more than $819 million INONTARIO from the Government of Canada to Ontario municipalities. The federal Gas Tax Fund (GTF) is a permanent source of annual funding to provinces and territories, who in turn flow this funding to their municipalities to support local infrastructure priorities. Every year, municipalities benefit from the support and flexibility of the federal Gas Tax Fund. They can pool, bank, and borrow against this funding — providing significant financial flexibility to plan infrastructure projects over the long term. Projects are chosen locally and prioritized according to the infrastructure needs of each community. Communities select how best to direct the funds and have the flexibility to make strategic investments across 18 different project categories. Because many municipalities across Canada continue to face serious infrastructure deficits, Budget 2019 proposes a one-time transfer of $2.2 billion through the federal Gas Tax Fund to address short-term priorities in municipalities and First Nations communities. This will double the Government of Canada's commitment to municipalities in 2018-19, with Ontario municipalities of all sizes sharing an additional federal investment in local infrastructure of over $819 million, for a total of approximately $1.64 billion. QUICK FACTS: • The federal Gas Tax Fund is allocated on a per capita basis for provinces, and provides a base funding amount of 0.75 percent of total annual funding for Prince Edward Island and each territory. O On-reserve First Nations communities in provinces also receive an allocation on a per capita basis. • The federal Gas Tax Fund has been indexed at two percent per year, meaning that it will continue to grow to provide additional support to municipalities. • To date, more than $23 billion has been invested in municipalities through the federal Gas Tax Fund. poi Inanarfrastructureia Canada C THE FEDERAL GAS TAX FUND Eligible projects include investments in infrastructure for construction, renewal or material enhancement in each of the following categories: A!) 0 tit 1ltdl fi 1.

The MEP preparation included stakeholder engagement, the gathering and analysis of baseline consumption data and energy mapping and the creation of a plan. The LAP preparation included developing a greenhouse gas inventory, setting emission reduction targets and outlining target sectors, goals and actions to reduce GHG emissions. The preparation process and deliverables for each plan overlapped and the plans complement each other and are combined into one comprehensive energy planning document for Bayham. Globally temperatures are rising and extreme weather events are occurring with greater intensity and more often. In order to fight against climate change countries around the world united in signing the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015, agreeing to strengthen the response to limit global average temperature rise to 2°C and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C by 2100. In order for Canada to meet its commitment action is necessary at all levels of government and importantly at the local level. The Federal and Provincial governments have focused significant policy effort on climate change, sustainability, renewable energy production and energy efficiency to fulfill this commitment. The Municipality uses several energy sources including electricity, natural gas and vehicle fuel. Consumption amounts were sourced from local service providers in order to understand the community's energy use, establish an energy consumption baseline and calculate total GHG emissions totals. The Plan preparation process included stakeholder and community engagement to discuss Bayham's energy use and recent topics and trends in various sectors of the community. The preparation of the MEP and LAP was designed around these consultations, extensive research and analysis of consumption data in a Baseline Energy Profile and GIS mapping. Bayham also contributes to renewable energy production in the form of wind turbine, solar and ethanol/bio-fuels. The total GHG emissions across all sectors in 2015 was 24,389 t COze. Reduction targets were determined through analysis of projection scenarios over the 10, 15 and 20 year timeframes. The community target is a reduction in GHG emissions of 20% per person over 15 years to 2033. The corporate (or municipal) sector reduction target is 20% (or 2% per year) reduction in GHG emissions over 10 years to 2028. The MEP establishes a vision statement and goals while the LAP contributes actions to implement these goals. The MEP and LAP combine to establish Bayham's current energy use; provides projection calculations and GHG emission reduction targets; and goals and actions designed to promote and encourage an energy efficient, thriving, cost-effective, and healthy green community. 1 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham 1 Introduction to Community Energy Planning 1 .1 Community Energy Planning Overview The Municipality of Bayham Municipal Energy Plan (MEP) and Local Action Plan (LAP) are designed to help the Municipality understand its' energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through a community energy planning process. They are comprehensive plans intended to support economic development, improve energy efficiency, reduce GHG emissions and promote community sustainability solutions. The main components of the Plan are to establish baseline energy use profiles across different sectors of the community and prepare a local action plan for GHG reduction, actions and initiatives. Municipal staff initiated the Plan process in order to: • Demonstrate the progressive approach of Bayham regarding renewable energy production, energy conservation and GHG emission reductions • Promote economic growth in Bayham • Create baseline information of energy consumption and GHG emissions for use in public and private sector initiatives to reduce baseline numbers • Recommend possible implementation actions for each sector • Provide direction to private investors for development initiatives based on background energy and GHS data • Improve GHG emission awareness through the illustration and description of existing production and consumption patterns The MEP and LAP are combined into one document because of significant overlap in background research and baseline energy use information. 1 .2 Municipal Energy Plan The Municipality of Bayham received funding from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) to complete a Municipal Energy Plan (MEP) in January 2017. The MEP Program is designed to help Ontario Municipalities understand and respond to their energy use. The MEP preparation requires stakeholder engagement, the gathering and analysis of baseline data, energy mapping and the creation of a plan. This document fulfills the requirements of the Ministry funding. 2 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham 1 .3 Local Action Plan In September 2017, the Municipality of Bayham entered into an agreement for funding from the Green Municipal Fund, managed by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, to complete this Local Action Plan (LAP). By adopting this document, the Municipality will become a partner with hundreds of communities across Canada in the Partners in Climate Protection Program. The LAP includes a greenhouse gas inventory and emission reduction targets. It will provide the community guidance on actions to reduce emissions. 1 .4 Climate Change A changing global climate has become evident in recent decades and is attributed to human's use of fossil-fuel energy resources. Temperatures have steadily increased and active weather events are becoming more frequent and extreme. Changing weather patterns are causing extreme local weather events such as heavy rains and prolonged droughts. Local actions are needed to mitigate and adapt to these climate changes. In order to mitigate and adapt, action is needed to reduce emissions and prepare for changes. The Federal, Provincial and local governments are addressing climate change by creating reports and policy documents aimed at reducing energy consumption and GHG emissions. Federal and Provincial strategies and reduction targets aim to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change including: • Federal Sustainable Development Strategy for Canada: 2016-2019 • Ontario's Climate Change Strategy (2017); and • Ontario's Five Year Action Plan 2016-2020. As part of Ontario's efforts local municipalities, including Bayham, have prepared an Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan (ECDMP). This Plan includes detailed municipal facility energy use, GHG emissions, energy intensity and establishes reduction targets to x 2020.

It occupies 248 km2 (61,282 acres) of land on the north shore of Lake Erie at the east end of Elgin County. It is bordered by the Township of Malahide to the west, Norfolk County to the east and the Township of Southwest Oxford and the Town of Tillsonburg, in Oxford County to the north. The 2016 Census population was 7,396, an increase of 5.8% from the 2011 Census total of 6,989. Bayham comprises of three Villages— Port Burwell, Straffordville and Vienna - and five hamlets— Corinth, North Hall, Eden, Richmond, and Calton. The Municipality is home to a large agricultural community of fruit and vegetable producers and other businesses in manufacturing, tourism and business services. 2.2 Growth Forecasts The 2016 Census shows a population increase of 407 people or 5.8% from 2011. Assuming the population increases continue the forecasted population for the next census years would be: • 2021 - 7,825 persons • 2026 - 8,278 persons • 2031 - 8,758 persons Assuming an average of 2.5 persons per dwelling, this would require approximately 946 new dwelling units to accommodate 2,365 additional people to the year 2031. The increased population will increase future energy needs in Bayham. In January 2017 municipal staff presented to Council the findings from a Vacant Lot Inventory (VLI). The inventory reviewed lands within village and hamlet, settlement area boundaries that have lands available for development. The review found that approximately 1900 new dwelling units could be accommodated, with varying levels of municipal services (public and/or privately owned and operated water and sewer systems). The study found there is sufficient buildable land available in Bayham to accommodate forecasted growth to 2031. The growth analysis was based on 2011 Census population in Elgin County and Elgin County Official Plan projects growth of approximately 500 persons and 30 jobs in the Municipality to 2031. The 2016 Census statistics show higher than projected growth in Bayham. Regardless of the difference in projected growth from the County and 2016 Census population, Bayham has an adequate supply of developable land available to accommodate growth. 4 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham 2.3 Local Economy The local economy is based primarily on agricultural activities and there is a transition taking place to a more creative economy.

In September 2014 the Municipality of Bayham released Municipality of Bayham: Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan. The strategic priorities and recommendations identified the following key components to maintain and promote economic success in Bayham: • Marketing and investment attraction efforts must improve and dovetail with Elgin County and other regional initiatives • Enhancements to Bayham's quality of place experience are needed • Continued support for small business and entrepreneurs • More effort needs to be directed at investment readiness including a plan for future investment • Support and encourage a transition to value-added agriculture while improving traditional agricultural activities The preparation of this MEP and LAP is consistent with these economic development initiatives establishing another avenue for the community to: • Market itself and attract invest as a leader in energy and operating cost efficiency • Enhance the quality of place with more employment opportunities and a higher quality of life • Support small business through energy savings resources • Support the agricultural industry by reducing energy costs on the farm and encouraging the transition to value-added crop types Bayham's economy is an important focus for the MEP and LAP due to increasing energy costs and climate change risks. Businesses will thrive in a low energy cost and high value community. 5 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham 3 Energy Policy Context 3.1 National Context The Government of Canada continues to foster climate change adaption measures. The Environment and Natural Resources department publishes resources for action on climate change. The Federal Sustainable Development Act, 2008 provides the legal framework for the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy for Canada: 2016-2019 (FSDS). This strategy for sustainable development planning and reporting, sets priorities, establishes goals and targets and identifies actions to achieve them. The strategy includes 13 Federal Sustainable Development Goals and Canada's Second Biennial Report on Climate Change. Several the goals that align with the MEP and LAP include: • Effective action on climate change: creating a low carbon economy • Low-carbon government: government leading by example • Modern and resilient infrastructure: supports clean economic growth and social inclusion • Clean energy: access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy • Safe and healthy communities: clean, sustainable communities that contribute to health and well-being Canada's Second Biennial Report on Climate Change presents projections of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada from 2020 to 2030. It provides information on actions undertaken to address climate change, information to support developing countries and is presented every two years to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). At the Paris Climate Conference (2015) the majority of countries from around the world, including Canada, signed an agreement to address climate change. The intent of the agreement is to strengthen the response to limit global average temperature rise to 2°C and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C. The MEP and LAP align with federal initiatives to reduce the effects of global warming. 3.2 Provincial Context The Ontario government is a strong proponent of reducing GHG emissions and encouraging energy efficiency initiatives. The extensive renewable wind and solar energy production and the phase out of coal power production over the last decade has positioned Ontario to be a national and international leader in reducing global warming and climate change. 6 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham 3.2.1 Ontario's Climate Change Strategy (2017) Ontario's Climate Change Strategy identifies ways to address climate change. The strategy highlights five areas of transformation toward the goal of a high productivity low carbon economy and society. The highlights relating to the MEP and LAP are summarized as follows: • A Prosperous Low-Carbon Economy with World-Leading Innovation Science and Technology: Build Green Infrastructure— assistance to low carbon fuel distributors and upgrades to infrastructure, e.g. getting biofuel to households, electrical vehicle charging stations, support cycling and walking • Government Collaboration and Leadership: Carbon Neutral Government— reduce emissions and energy costs across government • Reducing GHG Emissions Across Key Sectors: Climate Change in Long Term Energy Plans • A Resource-Efficient High Productivity Society: Zero Emission Vehicles Actions, Create Incentive Programs—grants for energy audits and geothermal systems • Adaption and Risk Awareness: Climate Change and Agricultural Sector Initiatives Alignment The MEP and LAP are prepared using the Ontario Climate Change Strategy as a guiding document. The strategy is an important step toward a low carbon economy and society in Bayham. 3.2.2 Ontario's Five Year ONTARIO'S FIVE YEAR Climate Change Action CLIMATE CHANGE Plan 2016-2020 ACTION PLAN Ontario's Five Year Climate Change 2 01 6 - 2020 Action Plan is aimed to reduce GHG emissions and fight climate change. 44*.

These action areas and goals inform the preparation of the MEP and LAP. The goals for the MEP and LAP and the actions in the LAP align with this Provincial policy. 3.3 Local Context Southwestern Ontario has emerged as a leader in renewable - energy. There are many examples of progress toward sustainable energy production such as wind, y ', solar and biogas development. - There are several large renewable projects regionally, including Erie Shores Wind Farm and Integrated Figure 1: Bayham wind turbines and potential fuel crops. Grain Processors Cooperative Ethanol Inc. (IGPC)—Aylmer, ON. Municipalities have also prepared and adopted a number of MEP's and LAP's supporting a more sustainable region. 8 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham 3.3.1 Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan Bayham owns and operates a number of facilities across the community, from libraries to pumping stations. In order to monitor, analyze, publish and forecast energy consumption for these operations Bayham has developed an Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan (ECDMP), as required under the Green Energy Act. The Plan was implemented in 2015 and is based on operational energy consumption data, which has been tracked and analyzed annually since 2011. The information includes: total floor area; hours of operation; average flow (pumping stations for sanitary sewer); electricity consumed; natural gas consumed; consumption intensity; and energy intensity. The purpose of the ECDMP is to: educate staff and the public; implement energy efficiencies and best practices; and reduce energy consumption and its related environmental impact. Council established the following targets: • Reduce the greenhouse gas emissions (kg CO2e) of the Municipality by 10% prior to January 1, 2020 (2% per annum) • Reduce energy consumption (ekWh/yr) of the Municipality by an average of 0.5% per year by January 1, 2020 (total reduction of 2.5%) Case Study - The Four objectives of the ECDMP include: Municipality's 2015 LED 1.

It was approved in 2002, reviewed in 2012 and is currently under Five- Year Review to incorporate provincial planning changes since the last update and to align with community changes. The Official Plan includes policies on energy efficiency, renewable energy systems and large- and small-scale renewable and alternative energy systems. The policies on energy efficiency encourage innovative design and site layout for building form and size, density, lot and building orientation, and on-site landscaping. They recognize building and development certification programs that increase energy efficiency and decreased impact on the environment. Renewable energy policies support wind, solar and alternative energy projects of various scales and are reviewed subject to applicable criteria and background studies. Climate change is one of the items included in the current five-year Official Plan review. New policies on climate change include changing crop types and agricultural practices, identifying environmental and public risks. With policy changes, there is an opportunity to promote specific programs and initiatives such as tree planting, energy efficiency and active transportation to reduce GHG emissions. 10 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham 4 Municipality of Bayham Consumption and Production 4.1 Energy Consumption It is important to establish a broad understanding of how energy is consumed in the community in order to find ways to reduce energy use. Bayham's homes and businesses consume electricity and fuel to use appliances, heat and cool buildings and to travel in vehicles. Most of the consumption is through electricity and natural gas consumption as detailed below. 4.1.1 Electricity Bayham Electricity Consumption(KWh)by Sector The Provincial electrical 2014 2015 network provides electrical sector _ Actual / Actual power to Bayham, distributed Residential ! 25,145,866 48 24,613,070 48 by HydroOne, which one of Industrial i 13,328,959 26 12,742,070 25 the largest electricity Commercial 13,383,090 26 13,639,004 27 transmission and distribution Total 51,857,915 _ 50,994,144 service providers in Canada. Table 1: Electricity consumption in Bayham 2015. The Independent Energy Systems Operator (IESO) operates Ontario's power system. In 2014 the Ontario government eliminated coal-fired electricity generation in order to reduce GHG emissions. HydroOne provided electricity consumption data for Bayham by sector— residential, commercial and industrial - for the years 2014 and 2015. There was a slight difference between the two years with approximately 860,000 KWh more consumed in 2014. There was a reduction in consumption in the residential and industrial sectors and a small increase in the commercial sector in 2015, as shown in Table 1. Further analysis of the data for 2015 is included in the Baseline Energy Profile (BEP) and Geographic Information System (GIS) maps in Section 4.3. 4.1.2 Natural Gas Natural Gas is used in Bayham residences and businesses as a heat source for furnaces, water heaters, appliances, fireplaces, etc. Natural Resources Gas Ltd. (NRGL) provided Bayham consumption data for 2015 and 2016. They have been providing natural gas to Bayham consumers since 2015. 11 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham As shown in Table 2, there was a decrease in the total natural gas consumption of 312,764 cubic metres (3.6%)from 2015 to 2016. There were increases in the residential, commercial, and Natural Gas Consumption (m3) by Sector industrial sectors and declines in 2015 I 2016 the farm and institutional sectors. Sector Actual % Actual % Because the natural gas data Residential 5,188,136 60 5,364,322 64 included accounts from postal Farm 2,646,199 30 2,228,164 27 code areas crossing into Commercial 211,272 2 254,551 3 neighbouring municipalities, the Industrial 178,487 2 194,811 2 consumption data includes Institutional 452,632 5 322,115 4 assumptions and analysis to Total 8,676,727 8,363,963 match the municipal boundaries, Table 2: Natural gas consumption in Bayham 2015 as detailed in Appendix A. 4.1.3 Vehicle Fuel Private / Community Consumption According to the 2016 Census there were 2,705 personal vehicles traveling from a place of residence to work. The baseline consumption and emissions in the BEP were calculated assuming a work week of 5 days for 52 weeks (work year minus three weeks of vacation and holidays) at an average vehicle consumption of 11.9 L per 100 km (average from all personal vehicle models consumption in 2005 and 2016 models sourced from National Resources Canada). The Census provides a break down into five categories based on one-direction length of trip — less than 15 minutes, 15-29 minutes, etc. -from the residence to employment. The average driving speed was assumed to be the speed limit. Based on the above calculations the total kilometres driven in 2016 was estimated at 45.7 million, resulting in the production of an estimated 13,419 t CO2 GHG emissions. Consumption data is not available for personal trips. Municipal / Corporate Consumption The Municipality records the amount of fuel consumed by its fleet on a weekly basis. These vehicles provide vital functions such as snow plowing and park/facility maintenance. The total amount of diesel consumed in 2015 was 88,164 L resulting in an estimated 242 t CO2e of emissions and the total amount of gas consumed was 32,884 L and 80 t CO2e. The Municipality has sourced bulk fuel from the Local Authority Service (LAS). LAS provides consistent and predictable prices to Municipalities across Ontario through co-operative procurement efforts. The Municipality of Bayham has reduced operating costs by utilizing bulk fuel and other services from LAS since 2015. 4.2 Energy Production Bayham is a leader in the production of renewable energy production since the Erie Shores Wind Farm came into operation. There are a number of existing facilities in the region producing electricity and fuel for energy use as described below. 12 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham 4.2.1 Wind Energy- Erie Shores Wind Farm Erie Shores Wind Farm opened in 2006 after two years of development. There are 66 turbines stretching along the north shore of Lake Erie between Copenhagen and Clear Creek, extending inland two to three kilometres. The energy generated by the turbines is collected and transported on 24 kilometres of underground cables and 28 kilometres of overhead collector lines. The voltage is increased at the Port Burwell substation and transmitted via a 30-kilometre transmission line to Hydro One's grid near Tillsonburg, contributing to Ontario's renewable energy supply. The 24 turbines in Bayham account for 36% of the Erie Shores turbines. The total production for baseline year 2015 was 66,175 MWh and in 2016 was 58,848 MWh. Ontario's yearly wind turbine power output is 9.2 million MWh according to the Independent Electricity Systems Operator (IESO). Therefore, Bayham accounts for approximately 0.65% of the provinces wind power and supplying up to 8,200 households with electrical energy. 4.2.2 Solar Energy—AMBER Co-op, FIT Program The Aylmer, Malahide, Bayham, and Elgin Renewables (AMBER) Co-operative includes farmers and rural land-owners who are invested in a for-profit energy co- operative in Elgin County. It was created to help local farmers and interested groups with Provincial FIT program applications (see Section 4.4.7 for more information). The initial investment focus was on rooftop solar installations and operations with future developments directed at bio-fuels and hydro generation and large procurements. Rooftop space for solar panels is leased and financing is AMBER's goal is to exclusively from its members. AMBER generates foster growth in the electricity and manages the systems through community-based green energy generation a management group for the 20 year term of the in Ontario by engaging contracts. residents and investors Through the FIT program there are two solar in projects that offer rooftop and a biogas contracts in Bayham. The financial, social and biogas and one of the solar projects were environmental returns." contracted through the AMBER co-op. 4.2.3 Ethanol / Bio-fuels Energy - IGPC Ethanol Inc. Established in 2007, Integrated Grain Processors Cooperative Ethanol Inc. (IPGC) is an ethanol producer located in the nearby town of Aylmer, ON. The plant is located approximately 10 km from the municipal limits of Bayham and produces denatured fuel grade ethanol and distillers grains (high protein feed supplement)from grade two corn. The plant is currently in the process of doubling its operations. The corn is locally sourced from a 150 km radius, including farms within Bayham. IGPC produced 100 million Litres (L) of ethanol and 170,000 Tonnes of distillers' grains in 2016. Bayham makes up approximately 25% of the sourced corn and thereby 13 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham contributes 50,000,000 L of renewable ethanol fuel and 42,500 T of livestock feed. IGPC also produces their own power with a steam turbine generator and a natural gas fired internal combustion electric generator. 4.3 Baseline Energy Baseline Energy Studies (BLS) measure how and where energy is used within a municipality and analyzes opportunities for energy reduction. Consumption data was provided by the local natural gas and electricity providers. The BLS includes: • A profile of how energy is supplied and distributed in Bayham • Spatial analysis of energy consumption statistics in each sector to identify opportunities for energy conservation within each sector • Greenhouse Gas emissions resulting from energy consumption The data analysis process is outlined in Appendix A. 4.3.1 Baseline Energy Profile The Baseline Energy Profile (BEP) is integral to the development of the MEP and LAP. The BEP includes the consumption and emissions for a specific year to be used for comparison and monitoring and determining progress toward reduction targets. The 2015 baseline year was chosen because it had the most data available. The BEP is based on analysis and calculations of data collected from the following sources: • HydroOne— electricity consumption • Natural Resources Gas Limited — natural gas consumption • Transport Canada —vehicle emissions • Census Canada— population, number of households and employment travel • The Municipality of Bayham Energy and Demand Management Plan — municipal consumption The BEP chart, Table 3, comprises the energy consumption type and emission calculations that comprise the baseline energy year of 2015 based on sector. The consumption amounts are multiplied by an emissions factor(a representative value that relates the quantity of a greenhouse gas released to the atmosphere with an activity associated with the release of that greenhouse gas) in order to determine the amount of GHG emissions released. The total 2015 GHG emissions for Bayham was just over 24,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) being emitted. The transportation sector (vehicle fuel consumption) represents well over half of the total GHG emissions with 13,000 t CO2e. The second highest GHG emissions came from the residential sector with 6,007 t CO2e representing nearly a third of total emissions. Vehicle fuel and residential buildings are the key target sectors for reducing GHG emissions. 14 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham The Total Emissions section of the BEP breaks down the emissions by fuel type per capita and per household. The total emissions of 3.3 t CO2e per capita in Bayham is lower than the national average of 20.1 t CO2e per capita in 2015 (Environment and Natural Resources Canada). Ontario's emissions in 2015 of 12.8 t CO2e per capita (calculated from Environment and Natural Resources Canada and Statistics Canada data). Overall, Bayham's per capita emissions are well below the national and provincial levels. The lower amount could be attributed to many things, including a small industrial base compared to other parts of the country and province or factors in the dependability (data overlapping into neighbouring municipalities) and/or availability (personal vehicle trip fuel consumption) of the data. Regardless, the state of Bayham's energy use is better than other places in Canada and Ontario. Another important aspect is Bayham's local renewable energy production including wind turbines (more than 8,000 households supplied by Bayham turbines), solar power installations, and ethanol production (up to 50,000,000 L of renewable ethanol fuel and 42,500 T of livestock feed per year) that effectively offset GHG emissions. These offsets are not included in the BEP. Bayham is in a great position to be a leader in reducing GHG emissions and renewable energy production for years to come. flatt 1111141111111"4\111141"- f :•r•.

The mapping illustrates characteristics of different areas in the municipality to tailor energy use and GHG emissions reduction initiatives to specific areas or sectors. Compared to other MEP mapping examples, the majority if not all were from geographically larger, more populated areas or densely populated city regions than Bayham's low population and smaller area. After extensive analysis two maps were produced for Bayham based two distinct areas, the Rural Area (RA) and the Rural Village Area (RVA) based on natural gas and electricity consumption categories. The maps illustrate the percentage of the consumption and emissions for each sector in one of two areas in Bayham - the RA vs the RVA. These two areas are based on the postal code boundaries in Bayham, further data analysis information is included in Appendix A. The RA is based on areas on the north, east and west of Bayham and postal codes starting with NOJ, N5H, N4G, and N5R. The RVA is based on data received for postal codes starting with NOJ. The RVA area delineation became evident as it included all three villages in Bayham — Straffordville, Vienna and Port Burwell. This distinction was chosen as the best way to illustrate the differences in consumption and emissions by sector and as a way to understand the challenges for reduction of emissions in the two areas. 4.3.2.1 Electricity Mapping Table 4 shows electricity consumption and GHG emissions by sector for two separate years based on the RA and RVA areas. This information forms the Baseline 2015 - Electricity Consumption and GHG Emissions by Sector GIS map, Figure 1 below. The comparison showed that there was small difference between the two years and so the mapping focuses on 2015 to correspond with the BEP baseline year. Figure 2 shows consumption and GHG emissions by sector and the percentage of each for the RA and RVA. It is evident from the map that the electricity consumption in the RVA has a higher proportion of residential than the RA and conversely industrial and commercial make up a larger proportion of the RA. There are typically higher population densities in villages versus rural lands and more parcels of land for larger industrial and commercial uses in rural areas. Therefore, the mapping exercise for electricity consumption in Bayham supports the conclusion that energy efficiency and GHG emissions reduction initiatives for residential uses should be focused on RVA's and industrial and commercial initiatives should be focused on RAs. 17 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham Comparison Table-Electricity Energy Use Rural Village Area (RVA)vs. Rural Area (RA) Rural Village Area (RVA) Rural Area (RA) Electricty GHG I Electricty GHG Consumed Emissions Consumed Emissions (kWh) (t CO2e) %of RVA (kWh) (t CO2e) %of RA 2014 Residential 19,039,305 819 52% 6,106,561 263 41% Commercial 9,125,953 392 25%. 4,257,137 183 28% Industrial 8,714,368 375 23% 4,614,591 198 31% Total 36,879,626 1,586 14,978,289 644 2015 Residential 18,711,280 805 52% 5,901,790 254 40% Commercial 9,253,843 398 25% 4,385,161 189 30% Industrial 8,284,071 356 23% 4,457,999 192 30% Total 36,249,194 1,559 14,744,950 634 Notes: Electricity data provided by Hydro One.

The comparison shows there was a relatively small difference between the two years and so focusing on 2015 mapping is acceptable corresponding with the BEP baseline year. Figure 3 map shows consumption and GHG emissions by sector and the percentage of each for the RA and RVA. It is evident from the map that the natural gas consumption in the RVA has a higher proportion of residential and institutional uses than the RA. There is typically higher residential population densities in villages versus rural lands and more schools and churches in villages. Farms and residences make up most of the consumption in the RA. The commercial consumption in the RA more than doubled in 2016. Therefore, the mapping exercise for natural gas consumption in Bayham infers that agricultural initiatives should be the focus in RAs and residential and institutional intiatives should be the focus in the RVAs. The comparison table and GIS map for natural gas will be useful for future monitoring.

The challenges and opportunities that were identified include the following topics and trends. 4.4.1 Agriculture Farming makes up a significant portion of the economy in Bayham and therefore is one of the main energy consumers and GHG emitters. Farmers are continually confronted with rising operation costs due to energy needs. New technologies are being introduced in order to improve efficiency and lower operating costs. For instance, tractors are now equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to work every square metre of the fields as efficiently as possible, reducing fuel consumption. The following opportunities need to be explored to reduce GHG emissions in farming operations: • Generating renewable electricity through wind, biogas, solar, etc. • Geothermal construction/installations - capturing energy from the ground and using it for heating and cooling • Growing energy crops that can be used to heat buildings or fuel vehicles • Saving energy by installing more efficient equipment and creating less energy waste The majority of farming in the area is for oilseed and grain farming crops, making up approximately 45% of the farms. Corn farming represents 30% of the oilseed and grain farming category, used for energy/ethanol. There are a number of resources available for farmers included on the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) and Ontario Farmers Association to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. 4.4.2 Alternative Land Use Service (ALUS) "Through this ALUS Canada is a not-for-profit program funded program, we have an by individuals, governments, foundations and opportunity to respond corporations to invest in farm lands. A pilot project o the dual crises of began in Bayham in 2012. In January of 2016, climate change and ALUS Bayham expanded to include the biodiversity loss by Municipalities of Malahide, Central Elgin, engaging those who Southwold, Dutton-Dunwich and West Elgin to own and manage most establish ALUS Elgin. ALUS Elgin partners with of the land in southern local Conservation Authority's (Catfish Creek, and eastern Ontario." Kettle Creek and Long Point) and other ALUS organizations in the region to develop projects and ideas that are best suited to the landowners' needs and the priorities of Elgin County. 22 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham ALUS is an incentive program that recognizes the role farmers play in a healthy environment as well as in producing food and creates incentive programs to conserve and restore natural features such as wetlands, creeks, shorelines, native grasses and trees, and unique ecosystems like tall grass prairie and oak savannah. The main aim in the region is to reduce sedimentation and phosphorus loading in rivers and lakes through gully and bank erosion mitigation. 4.4.3 Land Use Land use planning policies are an important way to address the effects of climate change, promote energy efficiency and reduce GHG emissions. The Official Plan directs development to settlement areas in order to create compact development, among other things reducing expensive and resource consuming expansion of water and sewer service delivery. It also encourages environmentally friendly design of buildings and streetscapes through opportunities such as Community Improvement Plan policies. Agriculture, resource protection and energy policies are included to ensure the long-term sustainability of the community and local ecosystems. 4.4.4 Transportation Bayham is a rural community that relies heavily on automobile transportation in resident's daily lives. The rural nature of the community limits possibilities for introducing transportation/transit systems. The South Western Ontario Transportation Alliance (SWOTA) is a passenger rail and bus service expansion advocate looking to re-establish vital links for people that either do not have access to an automobile or prefer to take transit. The only potential connection that SWOTA has identified in the area is in neighbouring Tillsonburg. Bayham does not have the population density to establish a connection. Bayham staff and the Elgin and St. Thomas Public Health (ESTPH) are in the process of evaluating options for establishing a local transportation system, such as a ride-sharing network. Adding public electric vehicle charging stations is a way to encourage residents to buy electric vehicles and reduce GHG emissions. Tourism is important to the local economy. London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Brantford and the greater Toronto area are all in close proximity to Bayham for tourism attraction. Eco-conscious tourists would be motivated and enabled to travel to Bayham if there was a reliable charging station for their vehicles. Some municipalities are also transitioning vehicle fleets to electric or blended natural gas or bio-diesel, including installing fueling/charging stations at municipal facility locations. 4.4.5 Public Health —Active Transportation Elgin St. Thomas Public Health (ESTPH) provides health care service and general health promotion programs in Bayham. Active Transportation is a constant topic of conversation of ways to improve public health outcomes. Promotion of walking and 23 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham cycling improves health and reduces fuel consumption and GHG emissions, further improving health with cleaner air and water. Transit is another opportunity to improve health and reduce GHG emissions. Bayham has a relatively small and dispersed population making it more challenging to establish a transit system which operates efficiently and services the needs of the population. Active transportation infrastructure is sometimes out of reach for persons lacking the ability to get to and from recreation facilities and activities. ESTPH and the Municipal administration are looking at ways to coordinate a ride-sharing system to provide transportation alternatives to the community. 4.4.6 Recycling/Waste Management The Municipality of Bayham, the Municipality of Central Elgin and the Township of Malahide Waste Management Master Plan Final Report (Report), which also includes a Waste Recycling Strategy (Strategy), was approved in October 2011 and covers a twenty-year period (2012-2032). The Municipalities provide residents with garbage collection/disposal, Blue Box collection/processing and limited collection/processing of organics, municipal household special waste and waste electrical and electronics equipment. The focus of the plan is to reduce the amount of waste directed to landfill and increase the amount of waste diverted to 40%. Most of the waste under the Municipalities' control comes from the residential sector. The collection amounts in Bayham are included in Table 6. The Municipality has increased diversion rates since 2016, improving by three percentage points with an increase of collected recycling. In 2011 as outlined in the Report/Strategy Bayham's total materials diverted from the waste stream was at 31%, including additional diversion not captured in Table 6. The Report/Strategy goal was a 40% diversion rate by January 1, 2016. In 2017 the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change identified an interim diversion goal of 30% by 2020 as part of the Strategy to Achieve a Circular Economy. The 2015 Curbside Waste Audit found that the diversion rate was at 39%. So Bayham is on track to meet or exceed diversion targets. Currently there is no green bin collection program in Bayham which represents an opportunity to collect organic waste from homes and businesses, diverting unnecessary waste from the landfill.

The FIT program allows homeowners, communities, business owners and private developers to generate renewable energy and sell it to the province at a guaranteed price for a fixed contract term. The FIT program applies to the use of one or more forms of renewable energy, including: wind, water power, biomass and biogas, solar photovoltaic (PV) power and landfill gas. It is administered by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) and is divided into two streams depending on the number of kilowatts of electricity that can be generated by a project. FIT 5 was the most recent version. The application portion of FIT 5 is complete and is adding 150 MW of renewable energy in the Province. This may be the last round of contracts under the FIT program as the Provincial Government has not announced any new FIT versions. 4.4.8 Cap and Trade Ontario launched a cap and trade program on January 1, 2017. It places a cap (or limit) on the amount of GHG emissions that Ontario's homes and businesses can emit by incentivizing them to find innovations and make investments to lower emissions. Companies can trade (buy or sell) allowances. Credits become available for purchase from a company that reduced its greenhouse gas emissions and has surplus credits. The capital that is collected is reinvested into projects that reduce GHG pollution such as social housing retrofits, electric vehicle incentives and public transit. Job creation is expected in clean technologies for researchers, entrepreneurs and start-ups as a result of this reinvestment in energy conservation and GHG reductions. The expected impacts from the cap and trade program on the average Ontario home are likely an additional $13 per month to fuel a car and heat a home. It will not affect electricity costs as the power supply in Ontario is mostly carbon emissions free. The retail price of gasoline estimated to increase about 4.3 cents a litre and about 5 cents a litre for diesel in 2017. Cap and trade proceeds will be put into a new dedicated Greenhouse Gas Reduction Account. The funding will be used for projects and priorities identified in Ontario's Five Year Climate Change Action Plan 2016-2020, including funding programs that: • lower the carbon emissions from transportation fuels • encourage uptake of electric vehicles • expand public transit Also under the Climate Change Action Plan, some of the proceeds from cap and trade will be invested in programs to help homeowners and businesses save money by improving energy-efficiency. Actions include to: • Improve efficiency in multi-residential buildings and public institutions • Widen low-carbon energy choices for homeowners 25 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham • Help consumers manage their energy use • Establish long-term greenhouse gas reduction targets in the Building Code • Introduce low-carbon content requirements for natural gas Cap and trade programs are an opportunity to increase investment in reducing GHG emissions in Bayham. 4.4.9 Energy Audits, Building Repairs and Redevelopment There are several programs available through the provincial government designed to help Ontarians improve energy performance of buildings and facilities. Energy audits are a way to better understand what improvements are possible and what the cost- benefit of improvements might be. Furthermore, some incentive programs based on community improvement plans are available to provide retrofit grants.

The resources are separated 26 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham into sections for homes, small business and organizations and may include installing smart thermostats, improved insulation and windows, and/or ground-source heat pumps (home geothermal). Elgincentives Elgin County offers an incentive program through Community Improvement Plans (CIPS) for the redevelopment and enhancement of urban design in settlement areas. The Elgincentives CIP provides financial assistance to businesses and property owners for repairs, restorations and redevelopment projects. The aim of the program is to improve the downtowns, waterfronts, agricultural and tourism areas in the lower-tier municipalities in the County. A CIP is a tool that enables municipalities to direct funds and implement policy initiatives in specific areas. Elgincentives provides an energy efficiency retrofit grant to improve the overall energy efficiency of a building for up to 25% of the costs to a maximum of$10,000. This type of funding is integral to enabling small business owners to improve facilities and save money on energy use while Elgi nce trues Community improvement Program revitalizing downtown areas. 4.4.10 Local Renewable Energy Coordination Opportunities In order for Bayham to optimize GHG emission reduction efforts it is important to identify possible partnerships with local businesses in the renewable energy field. A few options for collaboration are detailed below. KBR Energies Kent Brothers Renewable Energies (KBRE) is a renewable energy generation company based out of Aylmer, ON, just west of the municipal limits of Bayham. Their primary focus has been to help interested parties, mostly farmers, through the FIT program and is under contract with AMBER Co-op to manage its FIT 2.0 projects. KBRE supported the CEP plan preparation by providing valuable input into the stakeholder engagement process. Erie Thames Powerlines Erie Thames Powerlines is a regional energy company representing the amalgamation of seven Public Utilities Commissions (PUCs) within the municipalities of Port Stanley, Aylmer, Belmont, Ingersoll, Thamesford, Otterville, Norwich, Burgessville, Beachville, Embro and Tavistock. It was launched in 2000 and has expanded across the region since, servicing more than 18,000 customers. In the long-term Erie-Thames could be involved in setting up a private community scale electricity grid or other large scale renewable projects. 27 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham 5 MEP Vision and Goals 5.1 Vision and Goals 5.1.1 MEP Vision Identifying key community priorities and what is intended to be achieved is captured in the MEP vision statement. The vision of the Municipality of Bayham Municipal Energy Plan is to: Attract and maintain businesses and enhance residents' quality of life by using energy conservation and GHG emission reductions to create a cost-effective, high quality, healthy community. 5.1.2 MEP Goals The goals of the Municipality of Bayham MEP and LAP were informed by consultation and the establishment of the vision statement. The goals are as follows: Goal 1 Encourage residents and businesses to improve the energy efficiency of buildings in Bayham Goal 2 Promote and expand Bayham's contribution to renewable energy production Goal 3 Provide leadership to the community by continuing to improve energy efficiency in municipal government operation and ensure planning policies promote sustainable development practices Goal 4 Support and encourage sustainable agricultural practices, the transition to more energy efficient farms, and adaptation of farm lands to address the risks of climate change Goal 5 Reduce personal vehicle transportation emissions Target Sectors Through the preparation of the MEP and LAP several important sectors of the community have been identified for action on energy efficiency and GHG emission reduction. These sectors include: agricultural; industrial, commercial and institutional (101); residential; municipal; and, transportation. The following paragraphs include target sectors and a brief description for each of the MEP goals. Supporting Materials The MEP goals are informed by the background research and guiding documents described in the previous sections of the Plan. Through the plan development process relevant goals, objectives, actions, etc. are incorporated and are outlined in each Goal section below. 28 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham Goal 1 Encourage residents and businesses to improve the energy efficiency of buildings in Bayham Target Sectors: Agricultural, ICI, Residential, Municipal Agricultural operations use a lot of energy for barns and other facilities as well as planting, harvesting and processing of crops. Although farmers are already well aware of energy/operating costs and work toward optimizing efficiency, agricultural facilities and land still hold immense potential for the installation of renewable energy infrastructure and energy efficiency initiatives. ICI businesses and institutional organizations can save money by reducing their energy use but they need to be encouraged and enabled to see significant community-wide reduction. Residential buildings are of key importance to reduce energy use and GHG emissions in Bayham. Residents need to be encouraged, enabled and educated in order to significantly reduce energy use community-wide. Municipal government can provide education and guidance to residents and businesses; provide leadership encourage energy efficiency efforts by example. Supporting Materials: Ontario's Climate Change Strategy (2017) • Reducing GHG emissions across key sectors: climate change in long term energy plans • A resource efficient high productivity society: zero emission vehicle actions, create incentive programs Ontario's Five Year Climate Change Action Plan 2016-2020 • Buildings and homes: reduce emissions from fossil-fuel use in buildings Provincial Cap and Trade— energy audit grants/funding • Help consumers manage their energy use Goal 2 Promote and expand Bayham's contribution to renewable energy production Target Sectors: Agricultural, ICI, Residential, Municipal, Transportation Agricultural activity is the strength of Bayham's economy and cultural identity. Wind turbines and solar panels currently produce renewable energy in Bayham and past efforts to install renewable capacity should be better recognized. Farms in the community need to continue to be a focus of renewable energy expansion. ICI businesses and organizations have an important role to identify and sponsor renewable energy projects. Businesses and organizations that invest in renewable energy should be recognized for their efforts. 29 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham Residential buildings consume a large portion of energy use and building stock in Bayham and the buildings provide opportunities for small-scale renewable energy installations. Municipal government, in coordination with Provincial agencies and Ministries, provide the authorization to install/construct renewable energy projects. In the past Bayham has supported large-scale wind energy production and policies are included in the Official Plan to guide development. Integrating solar, wind, and/or geothermal production at Municipal facilities and promoting the successes provides guidance to the public. Transportation fuels are a major source of GHG emissions and in order to reduce the impact from vehicular travel alternative fuel sources are needed. Electricity for electric vehicles and renewable ethanol fuel are already produced in Bayham. There is an opportunity to increase Bayham's share by increasing agricultural production of corn, developing bio-diesel capacity and expansion of renewable electricity generating infrastructure—wind, solar, etc. Supporting Materials: Municipality of Bayham: Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan • Bayham's quality of place experience enhanced by recognizing the community's contribution to renewable energy Municipality of Bayham Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan • Explore renewable energy generation opportunities in facilities that are energy use optimized Goal 3 Provide leadership to the community by continuing to improve energy efficiency in municipal government operation and ensure land use planning policies promote sustainable, energy efficient development practices Target Sectors: Municipal Municipal efforts to reduce energy use in government "'I operations needs to be - recognized and continued in order to promote Bayham as _ an energy-conscious Figure 4: Bayham Waste Treatment Plant community and continue to foster community-wide reduction efforts.

Businesses and organizations should promote ways for people to reduce dependence on non-renewable fuels and they should be recognized when their efforts achieve significant success. Residential Personal vehicle travel makes up a significant portion of fuel consumption and GHG emissions. People should be encouraged and enabled to locate nearer to employment and services, reducing reliance on business as usual fossil fuel combustion vehicles. New residential developments should include electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Municipal progress on reducing GHG emissions from the municipal vehicle fleet provides an example for the community and can reduce energy costs in the long term.

It advances opportunities to evaluate and implement GHG emissions reduction goals from the MEP by establishing action items separated into target sectors —community and corporate. 6.2 Business Case The community of Bayham will benefit from reduced energy costs in several ways. Local Job Creation: By using renewable energy production methods, i.e. biogas, solar, biofuels,jobs are created to support new energy sources through the operation of technology, construction and labour-intensive in terms of direct employment. Support for Local Businesses: Dollars spent for energy saving renovation improvements will have a ripple effect: saving jobs and/or creating new jobs; supporting local businesses such as hardware, contractors, equipment, etc. Increased Community Investment: the municipal government will save through energy efficient operations. Reduced operation costs save money that can be spent on community improvements such as bicycle paths or on further energy efficiency measures. Improving and promoting active transportation will reduce the dependence of using automobiles which will reduce traffic congestion, provide lower GHG emissions, promote clean air, and healthier lifestyles. 6.3 Energy Projections and Reduction Targets — Community 6.3.1 Business as Usual - Community Business-as-Usual (BAU) is a term used to describe when projections are made without change to the existing situation. BAU calculations have been made, as shown in Table 7, based on per capita calculations from the BEP for electricity (0.31 t CO2e), natural gas (1.15 t CO2e) and vehicle fuel (1.85 t CO2e) emissions. The population of Bayham in the 2016 Census was 7 396 people up from 6 989 in the 2011 census representing a 5.8% increase, with approximately 7 311 people in 2015. The emissions projections shown in Table 7 are based on a continued 5.8% increase over five year periods (population increases in Bayham in five year increments consisted of 5.5% from 2001- 2006 and 3.9% from 2006-2011, so 5.8% assumed solid growth) over the 10, 15 and 20 timeframes beginning in 2018. The analysis includes assumptions based on BAU (no GHG emission reductions) 10% and 20% reduction in per capita emissions. If Bayham continues to use energy at the current rate per person the total emissions of the community will continue to rise, i.e. business-as-usual. The projected population 33 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham increase is 2,169 people from 2015 to 2038. That would result in an increase in consumption and emissions by energy type of: • Electricity consumed 15,534,000 kWh, GHG emissions produced 668 t CO2e; • Natural gas consumed 1,330,000 m3, GHG emissions produced 2,527 t CO2e; • Fuel consumed 1,632,322 L, GHG emissions produced 4,023 t CO2e; • Total GHG emissions 7,218 t CO2e. Compared to the 2015 total emissions of 24,161 t CO2e, the BAU case of 31,663 t CO2e to 2038 represents a 30% increase in emissions.

Table 7:Total Community Emissions Projections by Energy Type table. 6.3.2 Reduction Target - Community According to projection calculations in Table 7, in order to remain below current community-wide emission amounts, the community would need to reduce emissions by 20% per capita to 2033, avoiding an additional 5,987 t CO2e of GHG emissions. By decreasing emissions per capita by 20% over 15 years, Bayham could accommodate a population increase of over 1,500 people with no increase in total emissions, further reductions would be realized should the population increase at a lower rate. The Municipality intends to revisit the reduction targets at minimum five years from adoption of the LAP. 34 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham 6.4 Energy Projections and Reduction Targets - Corporate 6.4.1 Water/Wastewater Treatment Operations The Municipality manages a number of wastewater treatment facilities. The Port Burwell Wastewater Treatment Plant is the largest consumer of energy along with a system of pumps to send the wastewater to the wastewater plant. The Centre Street Booster Pump and Richmond Road Pump maintain pressure in the water systems. Table 8 shows emission volumes for the diversion of wastewater based on consumption and emissions tracking in the ECDMP since 2011. There has been a noticeable reduction in consumption since 2015 across operations, largely due to renovations and upgrades at the Wastewater Plant but evident in the other operations. The reduction coincides with the introduction of the ECDMP. In order to illustrate the recent reduction, Table 8 includes calculations for average emissions from 2011-2014 and 2015-2016 and the difference between the two averages. The results show that only the Richmond Road Pump emitted slightly more emissions since 2015 and the rest of the operations show marked reduction in emissions.

Each buildings/facilities hours of operation, electricity consumption and natural gas consumption are shown for each year along with calculations of emissions and electricity intensity. Table 9 shows the emissions for each facility as calculated in the ECDMP. The table is divided into two sections, the municipal facilities and four facilities that were recently removed from municipal ownership for various reasons. The facilities with the most consumption and resultant GHG emissions are the public works garage, Straffordville and Eden Community Centres and the two fire 35 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham stations.

The consumption amounts from 2014 to 2017 are shown in Table 10. Table 10: Municipality of Bayham annual streetlight electricity consumption and GHG emissions. Significant electricity and maintenance costs have been realized, with consumption decreasing by more than half since the LED conversion. 6.4.4 Recycling/Solid Waste The Municipality does not currently track solid waste production for operations. Establishing an inventory of solid waste has been included in Action Section 3.1 for monitoring of and reducing solid waste amounts and GHG Emissions in Municipal operations. 6.4.5 Business as Usual and GHG Emissions Reduction Projections — Corporate BAU and GHG emission reduction calculations have been made based on data from the ECDMP and fuel consumption provided by the Municipality. The calculations have been divided into three sectors of Corporate/Municipal operations, including Water/Wastewater, Buildings and Fuel. Since the ECDMP was adopted the Municipality has made significant progress in reducing GHG emissions by replacing streetlights with LED light fixtures, upgrading the Water Treatment Plant and through disposition and consolidation of properties. Unlike the Community BAU calculations in Table 7, the Corporate BAU and GHG emission reduction targets have been projected by annual decreases for each sector. Municipal operations do not change proportionally to population changes. GHG emission reductions have been calculated based on 1%, 2% and 3% annual increments over 10, 15 and 20 timeframes based on 2016 data, beginning in 2018. Consumption data from 2016 has been used as the baseline BAU value reflecting successful reduction in wastewater treatment and reorganization of fire services facilities and consolidation/disposition of several other facilities. Based on the recent GHG emission reductions streetlight energy usage has been omitted, to be revisited in subsequent updates to the Plan. 6.4.5.1 Water/Wastewater Treatment Operations Water and Wastewater treatment operations consumed 586,167 kWh of electricity in 2016, producing 25,205 kg CO2e GHG emissions. Furthermore, the operations consumed 2,126 m3of natural gas producing 4,037 kg CO2e in GHG emissions. The 37 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham projected Corporate GHG emissions for electricity, natural gas and in total are shown in Table 11.

Table 13: Corporate Fuel BAU and GHG Emissions Reduction by Fuel Type. 6.4.6 Reduction Target- Corporate The Municipality's reduction targets from the ECDMP for the time period 2015 to 2020 were to: • reduce GHG emissions by 2% per year for a total of 10% in five years; and, • reduce energy consumption by an average of 0.5% per year for a total of 2.5%. Continuing the reduction target of 2% per year in the water/wastewater, building/facility operations and fuel sectors over 10 years would accomplish significant progress in reducing GHG emissions in a reasonable and attainable timeframe. Based on a reduction of 2% per year for the next ten years in Tables 11-13, each sector is projected to reduce emissions from 2016 by 21.5% for a total reduction of 83,491 kg CO2e in GHG emissions. The target for the corporate sector is 20% GHG emission reduction over 10 years, to 2028. 6.5 Goals and Actions The Goals and Actions section provides the framework for GHG emission reduction to reduce Bayham's per capita GHG emissions by 20% over the next 15 years to 2033 and Corporate GHG emission reduction targets of 20% over 10 years to 2028.

Large- scale wind turbine procurement projects were not expanded. Community garden coordination with groups such as Elgin Farmers, Port Burwell- Bayham Horticultural Society, youth/church groups or schools could reduce operating cost and help promote the project. Goal 5 Reduce vehicle transportation emissions Action 5.1 Install public electric vehicle charging station(s) locations • Encourage locals to purchase electric vehicles 45 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham o New homes should include electric charging capabilities in the garage or in close proximity to the driveway/parking • Increase tourism by marketing availability of public electric charging stations o Proximity to the Greater Toronto Area, London, Waterloo Region and Brantford presents the opportunity to market Bayham as a more viable destination for environment-conscious tourists Action 5.2 Expand active transportation opportunities • Expand and improve walking and cycling routes in and around settlement areas to encourage active transportation Action 5.3 Improve rural transportation options • Incentivize businesses and institutions to create or improve carpool/active transportation options o Incentivize businesses to support cyclists by installing secure bike parking and shower facilities o Recognize/promote businesses and institutions that initiate carpooling • Explore opportunities to create an alternative to personal vehicle travel such as a ride-sharing program o Move people around Bayham more efficiently and reduce GHG emissions o Encourage community interaction and get people to and from active transportation destinations to improve accessibility and health Action 5.4 Reduce Municipal fuel consumption • Examine ways to reduce trip lengths, improve vehicle efficiency and invest in energy low to zero GHG emission vehicles • Monitor large vehicle hybrid, compressed natural gas, electric and bio-diesel technology and price developments o Oxford County pilot compressed natural gas snow plow example Opportunities and Constraints With Bayham's population being dispersed rurally, ride-sharing initiatives need to be as inclusive and accessible as possible. Significant funding is required for implementing these actions. Active transportation investments encourage residents to improve their health and presents significant opportunity to reduce GHG emissions by reducing vehicle trips. Municipal fleet vehicle replacement/upgrades to lower GHG emission models requires significant investment. 46 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham 6.5.2 Actions Timeframe and Status In order to monitor the progress of the above actions, an Actions Timeframe and Status Table has been created and included below as Table 14.

The strategy will be integrated into the policies and administrative actions to make energy conservation and GHG reductions normal day to day activities in the municipality. The following are key components of the implementation strategy. 7.1 Community Based Strategic Plan 2018 A key component of the community based strategic plan will be the Municipal Energy Plan and the Local Action Plan. The Municipality is undertaking a community based strategic plan in 2018. It will provide residents, business, council and staff with direction to enhance business opportunity, improve community quality of life and improve the natural environment. By including the two Planning initiatives, it will maintain a focus on energy conservation and GHG emission reductions going forward. 7.2 Administrative Responsibility Effective implementation of the MEP and LAP requires clear assignment of roles and responsibility across the municipal administration. Responsibility for overall implementation of the Plans will be assigned to the CAO. Through the CAO's annual review, targets and outcomes related to the two plans will be discussed with Council. Responsibility for specific projects and initiatives will be assigned to appropriate senior staff reporting directly to the CAO. This action will ensure greater accountability for implementing the Plans. 7.3 Capital Budget Criteria An effective approach to change energy consumption and GHG emissions is to establish criteria in the procurement process that measures these items. Through the 10 year capital budget and operating budgets, Council and staff make choices about the impact of the capital and operating purchases. To implement these actions, the budgeting and procurement process will be revised include criteria for energy conservation and GHG emissions. Where there are measureable criteria comparing the differences energy consumption and emissions Council can make informed decisions. Council will lead change by example through their decisions on 10 year capital budgets and operating budgets. 7.4 MEP and LAP Review The Municipality will review and update the MEP and LAP in 2020, being five years from the baseline energy consumption data. This will provide a measure of success and achievement for the goals and objectives of the Plans. It will also provide an opportunity to revisit\adjust goals and\or actions related to the Plans. At the same time the Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan (ECDMP) will continue to 50 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham track and review municipal energy consumption annually. This monitoring will be expanded to track other energy consumption\GHG emission data in the community. 7.5 MEP and LAP Communication Strategy A key element in the implementation process is communicating the purpose and intent of the plans to the community and business. The effect of good communication is to change attitudes, increase investment in energy conservation and GHG emissions, effectively making these actions part of every day activities. The communication must be to and from the public as part of the evaluation process for the Plans. All sectors of the community are encouraged to comment on either of the two plans. The municipality will adopt a consultation strategy to engage key groups in working towards a sustainable energy future. This may include annual communication updates, public participation in workshops or discussion groups raising the awareness of the Plans. The MEP and LAP will be posted on the Municipal website (www.bayham.on.ca) and available in hard copy at the municipal offices and all Bayham branches of the Elgin County libraries. The public is invited to contact the Municipality to comment on the plan, actions by Council or their own initiatives to reduce energy consumption or GHG emissions. Communication may be by mail, e-mail, or call: Municipality of Bayham 56169 Heritage Line Straffordville ON NOJ 1Y0 Phone: 519-866-5521 E-mail: bayham@bayham.on.ca 51 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham Appendix A - Data Analysis Process Electricity Consumption — HydroOne HydroOne, the regional electricity provider, contributed electricity consumption data for both 2014 and 2015. The amount of electricity consumed in Kilowatt hours (kWh)for commercial, industrial and residential sectors by postal code was provided. The postal codes were NOJ 1H0, NOJ 1TO, NOJ 1Y0, NOJ 1ZO, NOL 1CO3 N4G 4G7, N4G 4G8, N4G 4G9, N5H 2R1, N5H 2R3, and N5H 2R5. From a review of a GIS postal code boundary file and google maps searches, it was evident that the data received by postal code overlapped into neighbouring jurisdictions. Postal codes NOL 100 and N4G 4G7 were omitted because they are not located within Bayham. In order to extract the relevant consumption totals specifically for Bayham a percentage was estimated. The estimation was based on an aerial photo survey of approximate settlement area density in each postal code area. For instance, postal code area N4G 4G9 included lands in the northeast area of Bayham and in Norfolk County. On the Norfolk County side are a section of lands abutting the southern boundary of Tillsonburg; and lands farther south, roughly west of County Road 30 from Vanderhoeven Side Road to 1st Concession Road and west to the Bayham-Norfolk boundary. Bayham lands east of these lands made up approximately 45% of the built-up areas within the boundary, so a percentage of the electricity consumed for each sector was included in the Baseline Energy Profile. The consumption totals were then divided into Rural Area (RA) and Rural Village Area (RVA)for the GIS maps. A copy of the received data and calculated totals and percentages for Bayham is available for review from the Municipal Officies(titled HydroOne-kWh-2014-2015 RevisedPercentage.pdf). Natural Gas Consumption — Natural Resources Gas Ltd. (NRGL) NRGL, the regional natural gas distributor, contributed natural gas consumption data for both 2015 and 2016. The consumption data was received with account information based on postal code. A desktop survey was conducted to identify buildings based on sector- industrial, commercial, institutional and (larger)farms—and were mapped/digitized in GIS. The total of each sector per postal code, within Bayham's boundaries, were determined. As with the HydroOne data, the postal code data overlapped the municipal boundaries, except for forward sortation area (first 3 characters of the postal code) NOJ where all the records were included because the vast majority is within Bayham (and consists of the Rural Village Area (RVA) on the GIS maps). Further analysis and assumptions were necessary of the other forward sortation areas (N4G, N5H and NOL). The data was 52 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham sorted by consumption volume, including business/institution name and by the number of houses identified in recent aerial photography. The larger consumers were assumed to be either large farms or industrial, commercial or institutional buildings. Residential totals were assumed based on the number of houses identified from a range of low to medium consumption totals within the postal code area. Not all buildings in Bayham use natural gas for heating and air conditioning. This was evident, and accounted for in the assumptions, from: the total number of accounts; the differences in number of accounts within each postal code; and from 2016 census data for the total number of households in Bayham. For instance, there were 17 potential large consumers identified from the aerial photography in the N4G forward sortation area, however, there were only 9 substantial natural gas accounts with large consumption totals. Also 192 houses were identified but there were only 91 similar records in the received account data. It was assumed that there were several large consumers and half the houses that did not source heat (or air conditioning) from natural gas, but some other fuel source such as furnace oil. The finalized data was incorporated into the Baseline Energy Profile and GIS mapping data included in the Plan. 53 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham Appendix B - Summary of Stakeholder Engagement Stakeholder Meeting #1 — March 23, 2017 Representatives from the Elgin St. Thomas Public Health (ESTPH) and South Central Ontario Region economic development corporation (SCOR) and Municipal staff attended a stakeholder meeting held at the Bayham Municipal office in Straffordville on March 23, 2017. The discussion opened with the consultant, IBI Group, providing an overview of: the Municipal Energy Plan and Local Action Plan projects; provincial and national context; and several important issues - energy efficiency, GHG emission reduction and the business case. The second part of the meeting included each attendees role in the community and their thoughts on initiatives, programs, etc. that came to mind during our introduction to the project. Kimberly Earls (SCOR) described her organizations role in business retention and attraction at the regional and local level. SCOR has been working with various agencies on resource management and sustainability, not directly related to energy and GHG emission reduction. Andrew Powell (ESTPH) provided an overview of ESTPH's role in the community, upcoming health policy updates, safe drinking water and their focus on active transportation. A general discussion on relevant topics related to energy efficiency and GHG emission reductions followed. It was identified that Bayham has already been active in wind and solar installations, Energy Demand and Management initiatives - through building retrofits, streetlight LED replacement, reduction targets and the new energy efficient municipal office and recreation centre building. Other topics identified for further research included FIT/microFlT program (provincial funding primarily for solar on farms financing), Integrated Grain Processors Co-op (IPGC) ethanol plant and farming efficiency measures. Public Open House — March 23, 2017 The Municipality of Bayham, through their consultant IBI Group, hosted a Public Open House to present background information on the MEP, to answer community members' questions and receive feedback to inform the preparation of the MEP. Display boards were presented for information purposes and to encourage discussion between attendees and project staff. We welcomed approximately 30 community members and there was plenty of discussion between community members, project and municipal staff, the Mayor and Councillors. 54 IBI GROUP MUNICIPAL ENERGY PLAN AND LOCAL ACTION PLAN Prepared for the Municipality of Bayham Stakeholder Meeting #2 — June 15, 2017 Representatives from SCOR, ESTHU, Erie Shores Wind Farm, ETBO Tool and Die, ALUS Canada/Long Point Region Conservation Authority (LPRCA), Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) and Municipal staff attended a stakeholder meeting held at the Bayham Municipal office in Straffordville on June 15, 2017. The discussion opened with the consultant, IBI Group, providing an overview of: the Municipal Energy Plan and Local Action Plan projects; provincial and national context; and several important issues - energy efficiency, GHG emission reduction and the business case. The discussion then proceeded to a discussion of the following topics identified in previous consultation and research: ALUS; AMBER renewable energy co-op; FIT/microFlT; Southwestern Ontario Transit Alliance (SWOTA); IPGC; farming practices; etc. The group was presented with a draft Baseline Energy Profile data table to familiarize them and discuss the approach to present, analyze and incorporate the data into the energy plan preparation. It was identified that there is an opportunity to focus emissions reduction at a per-household level. Separating farming consumption into a separate sector was suggested. The final portion of the meeting included a brainstorming session led by the consultant, IBI Group, to examine possibilities for the vision statement, goals and objectives. The process included: providing a brief overview of the functions of vision statements, goals and objectives; providing examples from existing energy plans; allowing the attendee's time to think about and write down their comments and key words/terms; and presenting their thoughts to the group and recording them on the poster boards to incorporate into the plan preparation process. Stakeholder Feedback Information Package — November 30, 2017 An information package was sent electronically to stakeholders on November 30, 2017 in order to get feedback on several items included in the Plan. Stakeholders were presented with a revised versions of the BEP, GIS mapping and comparison table and draft vision statements. The draft vision statements were based on feedback from the Stakeholder Meeting #2 discussion. Stakeholders were asked to choose which vision statement that they felt best described what we are trying to achieve. Comments were requested on anything in the BEP or mapping that either stood out as important or was not clear. A memorandum was included in the package describing the information contained in it including: the rationale for choosing the Rural Village Area and Rural Area depictions on the GIS maps and associated comparison table; and, the analysis behind the BEP numbers and potential conclusions based on the data. 55 Energy Consumption Statistics 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 Annual Annual

SUBJECT: GARBAGE BAG TAG ALLOCATIONS BACKGROUND: On February 21, 2019, the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham held discussions concerning By-Law No. 2017-002, being a by-law for the provision of recycling and waste collection and to prohibit the depositing of refuse or debris on lands within the Municipality of Bayham without the consent of the property owner or occupant of the land. On February 21, 2019, the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham passed the following resolution: THAT discussion re By-Law No. 2017-002 be received for information; AND THAT staff be directed to bring forward an amending By-law for Council consideration to clarify language within By-Law No. 2017-002 On March 7, 2019, the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham deferred consideration of By-law No. 2019-021. A copy of By-law No. 2019-021 is attached hereto as Appendix 'A'. DISCUSSION The Municipality of Bayham currently offers the following garbage bag tag allocations: Garbage Bag Tag Distribution Property Type No. of Free Tags Residential Unit 52 Commercial Unit 86 Farming Business 16 The Municipality operationalizes garbage bag tag distribution utilizing the following provisions: a) Vacant parcels of land and/or vacant Commercial Units not operating as a duly zoned place of business shall not be provided garbage bag tags. b) It is the responsibility of an Owner to transfer remaining garbage bag tags to a new Owner in the event of a property sale. The Municipality of Bayham has offered the above noted garbage bag tag allocation since 2016 following garbage bag tag allocation reductions in 2014 and 2015. The Municipality has not altered garbage bag tag allocations since 2016 due to the forthcoming changes with the recycling regulatory regime in the Province of Ontario. Understanding how the funding model for recycling material in Ontario works is critical to understanding the importance of diversion rates and garbage bag tag allocation. Recycling is one of the few opportunities where citizen's efforts can directly correlate into increased revenue for the Municipality. Firstly, the Municipality receives a share of the revenue for marketed recyclable materials. In short, the more the Municipality recycles, the more revenue the Municipality generates from the Material Recovery Facility. Secondly, the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (RPRA) provides funding to all Municipalities based on a formula which is calculated by factoring in Net Cost of Recycling Program (50% weight), Recovered Tonnage (35% weight) and RPRA Datacall Best Practices (15% weight). Simply, the RPRA formula creates an opportunity for additional revenue with additional recycling. Consequentially, the more the Municipality recycles and the less waste that is sent to the landfill, the greater the savings to the Municipality. The Municipality of Bayham currently scores poorly on a portion of the annual RPRA Datacall because the Municipality does not utilize the following provisions which are considered a 'Best Practice'for waste reduction: 1) Set Out Limit a. A cap on the number of garbage bags any single property can put out in a week. 2) User Pay System a. A fee model where the individual property owner pays for the actual garbage tonnage disposed from the subject property. Provision of garbage bag tags is not considered a User Pay System because a set amount of garbage bag tags is provided at no charge which does not encourage recycling. Although not a best practice the Municipality did reduce the number of garbage bag tags provided in 2014 and 2015. Subsequently, in 2016 AET Group Inc. was contracted by RPRA, funded by the Continuous Improvement Fund, to complete audits of residential waste in the Municipality of Bayham, Municipality of Central Elgin and the Township of Malahide. During the Curbside Waste Audit, recycling and household waste was collected from a representative sample of households for the purposes of investigating the composition of both the residential waste and recycling streams. A total of 100 homes were audited in the three area municipalities. All the areas were sampled four times (each season) over a one year period. The purpose of the Curbside Waste Audit was to obtain raw data in order to continue to make objective and informed decisions regarding improvements to the Municipality of Bayham Recycling &Waste Management program. The Curbside Waste Audit identified positive trends in recycling in the Municipality of Bayham which may be attributable to a phase down in the provision of garbage bag tags. • Capture Rate: The total quantity of a recoverable waste that is diverted for reuse or recycling as a percentage of the total quantity of the recoverable waste generated. A Capture Rate can be used as a measure of the success of a recycling and/or reuse program. A higher Capture Rate is indicative of more material being reused or recycled, rather than being sent to disposal. • Diversion Rate: The total quantity of waste that is diverted for reuse or recycling as a function of the total quantity of all wastes generated. A Diversion Rate can be expressed as a percentage or on a per capita basis. GARBAGE -GROUP RESULTS Collectively the audited municipalities averaged 9.1 kg per week of materials in the Waste Stream per household. The average Capture Rate of the total amount of Blue Box Accepted materials was 79%. The average Diversion Rate for the group was 29% of total materials diverted from the Waste Stream. GARBAGE -BAYHAM RESULTS In 2011 as outlined in the Waste Management Master Plan — Waste Recycling Strategy the Municipality of Bayham Diversion Rate was 31% of total materials diverted from the Waste Stream. The Waste Management Master Plan — Waste Recycling Strategy identified a goal for the Municipality of Bayham Diversion Rate of 40% of total materials diverted from the Waste Stream by January 1, 2016. In 2017 the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change identified an interim diversion goal of 30% by 2020 as part of the Strategy to Achieve a Circular Economy. The Curbside Waste Audit found that the Municipality of Bayham Diversion Rate was 39% of total materials diverted from the Waste Stream. The Curbside Waste Audit found that the average amount of materials in the Waste Stream per household, amounted to 6.8kg per week. Below is a depiction of the proportions of the Waste Stream, as identified in the Curbside Waste Audit, averaged over all three Bayham audited locations. Quantities were measured in kilograms per household per week. BAYHAM-WASTE STREAM KG/HH/WK ALL 5 26,5 B TERIALS, 5.526,6036 TOTAL ACCEPTED BB ATERIALS, 0 701,1036 UNACCEPTABLEBB PAPEfl/POCT1U6� 0.622,996 Notably, there was a 0.7kg or 10% portion of the Waste Stream attributed to Blue Box Accepted Materials. These materials are part of the Blue Box Program and are advertised as such. It is important to collect information regarding un-captured recyclables as they directly relate to the Municipality's overall Diversion Rate. Below is a depiction of the Municipality's Capture Rate of Blue Box Accepted Materials shown as a percentage. Quantities were measured in kilograms per household per week. CAPTURE RATE: BLUE BOX ACCEPTED MATERIALS KG/HH/WK WASTE STREAM 0.701,16% RECYCLING STREAM 3.729,84% The Curbside Waste Audit identifies that the Municipality of Bayham Capture Rate is 84% of recyclable materials into the Recycling Stream. The Municipality of Bayham Waste Management Master Plan identified a Capture Rate of 59% in 2009. Further the target Capture Rate for Rural Collection-South is 70%. Although the Capture Rate has significantly increased from 2009, the remaining 0.7kg per household, per week equates to 102.87 tonnes of uncaptured recyclables per year, across the entire Municipality. The cost of disposing this quantity of recyclables in the Waste Stream is $29,295.32 based on current pricing. The Curbside Waste Audit provides valuable information demonstrating the improvements in recycling in the Municipality of Bayham since the Waste Management Master Plan — Waste Recycling Strategy. The Curbside Waste Audit also provides clear evidence of an opportunity to reduce municipal costs by $29,295.32 based on current pricing, simply by placing recyclable materials in the appropriate location. ONTARIO RECYCLING &WASTE MANAGEMENT REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT The Province of Ontario's Waste-Free Ontario legislation will eventually see recycling services transition to a full Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) model. Under a full EPR model, a greater allocation of costs and operational responsibilities for recycling will be borne by the producers of consumer products and packaging, in exchange for control over the delivery of services. On June 9, 2016, the Waste-Free Ontario Act (WFOA) received Royal Assent. On November 30, 2016, the Lieutenant Governor proclaimed that the WFOA included the Waste Diversion Transition Act, 2016 (WDTA; Schedule 2 to the WFOA), and the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, 2016 (RRCEA; Schedule 1 to the WFOA). In February 2017, as required by the RRCEA, the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change (the Minister) finalized the accompanying Strategy for a Waste-Free Ontario (the Strategy) that establishes goals of a zero waste Ontario and zero greenhouse gas emissions from Ontario's waste sector, and outlines the vision for a circular economy. The WDTA allows for existing waste diversion programs established under the former Waste Diversion Act to operate seamlessly until full EPR under the RRCEA is implemented. The WDTA empowers the Minister to make changes to the transition programs, including increasing stewardship funding levels in the Blue Box Program Plan (BBPP), and allows for regulations by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. The existing BBPP continues to operate under the WDTA until such time the Minister issues a wind-up letter directing the program to be ended by a specified date. It is still uncertain as to the current timeline for all Ontario municipal Blue Box programs to be fully transitioned. The transition from municipal to producer Blue Box programs will happen over time as collection and processing contracts expire. Some municipalities may be able to transition before the end of their contracts if their contracts contain the appropriate clauses. The benefit of early transition is that 100 per cent of the respective costs will be covered by producers rather than the 50 per cent the Municipality currently receives. Utilizing historic averages the full transfer of the Municipality of Bayham Recycling Program to Producer responsibility has the opportunity to transfer municipal costs of approximately$90,000 per annum. Key considerations to date under the tranisition plan include: 1) Program changes implemented by the Municipality in advance of the transition will not be funded by the EPR model. 2) Municipalities will not be compensated for servicing for businesses under the EPR model as currently structured. CONCLUSION Based on the positive correlation to garbage bag tag allocation reduction and diversion rate and capture rate increases staff would respectfully recommend the operationalization of garbage bag tag allocations not be altered. Further, considering the expected changes within the Provincial Recycling and Waste Management regulatory environment and the potential revenue and expense impacts of the same staff would again respectfully recommend the operationalization of garbage bag tag allocations not be altered. The Municipality may be best served by continuing to encourage residents to recycle more and continue to divert recyclable materials from the waste stream as this ultimately helps to reduce the costs to the Municipality and is good for the environment.

CAO "-irtunity Is TO: Mayor & Members of Council FROM: Paul Shipway, CAOICIerk DATE: April 18, 2019 REPORT: CAO-31/19 SUBJECT: QUALITY OF PLACE ACTIVITIES BACKGROUND: The 2014 Municipality of Bayham Economic Opportunities & Initiative Plan identified the importance of Quality of Place activities. Specifically the 2014 Municipality of Bayham Economic Opportunities & Initiative Plan recommended enhancements to Bayham's Quality of Place experience. The need for focused attention on enhancing the quality of place, vibrancy and aesthetic appeal of Bayham is a key consideration in the attraction of residents, visitors and business investment...As such, it is important that Bayham target placemaking efforts to enhance the community's quality of place experience. Beyond capital improvements to municipal infrastructure and recent community signage enhancements the Municipality of Bayham currently utilizes the following legacy Quality of Place activities. • Port Burwell Utility Pole Christmas Lights • Port Burwell Historic Lighthouse Christmas Lights • Port Burwell Flowers— Hanging Baskets • Port Burwell Flowers— Concrete Planters • Port Burwell Banners— Polestars • Port Burwell Banners— Bridge • Vienna Flowers— Hanging Baskets • Vienna Flowers— Concrete Planters • Straffordville Parkette Christmas Lights • Straffordville Banners—Watermelonfest • Straffordville Banners— Fall • Straffordville Banners— Christmas Many of the assets utilized for Quality of Place activities are at or near end of life. The purpose of Report CAO-31/19 is to provide an overview of each initiative for Council consideration and to present options for future Quality of Place initiatives that may be able to deploy human and financial resources more equitably across the entire Municipality. DISCUSSION The Municipality largely relies on Hydro One utility poles for Quality of Place activities. The Municipality does not own decorative utility poles which is typically accompanied by underground utilities. As such, the Municipality is required to obtain consent from Hydro One to utilize utility poles for Quality of Place activities and also contend with existing utility infrastructure on the same.

The above noted banners have reached end of life and/or have one season remaining. The Municipality annually utilizes a contractor to install and remove banners at an expense of approximately $2,200/year. FLOWERS Flower inventory statistics is as follows: Flowers Location No. No. of Vienna Planters 6 No. of Vienna Hanging Baskets 6 No. of Port Burwell Planters 40 No. of Port Burwell Hanging Baskets 20 Flowers require the following inputs: • Flower Expense o Hanging Baskets are procured by the Municipality at an expense of approximately $800/year o Ground Planters are planted by the Port Burwell Horticultural Society and The Bayham Historical Society • Water & Labour Expense o Municipality of Bayham Public Works Student obtains water from the Wastewater Treatment Plant and waters both hanging and ground flowers 3 times per week from May— September at an approximate expense of$5,000/year. ■ This function adds stress to Public Works vehicle allocation during the capital construction season as a pickup is dedicated to watering flowers five hours a day, three times per week. CHRISTMAS LIGHTS Christmas light inventory statistics is as follows: Christmas Lights _ Location No. Straffordville (Strands) 300 ft. Port Burwell (Strands) 1000 ft. Port Burwell (Pole Mounts) 19 The Port Burwell (Pole Mounts) have reached end of life. Public Works staff have annually conducted repairs to the same to obtain an additional season out of the Pole Mounts. Replacement LED Pole Mounts are estimated at approximately $1000/ Pole Mount. Annually the Municipality utilizes a contractor to install and remove Christmas Lights at an expense of approximately$4,600/year. In summary, the various Quality of Place activities conducted by the Municipality, carry an annual operating expense of approximately $12,600. Given the need for capital outlay to procure new inventory to continue current Quality of Place activities in 2020 staff wanted to present an additional option for Council consideration versus status quo. COMMUNITY WIDE BANNER PROGRAM 1) Replace Municipal activities associated with existing banners, flowers and pole mounts. 2) Procure Summer&Winter Banner sets of 100-140 Blackout Mesh Banners (30" x 60") a. Obtain consent from Hydro One to mount the banners on County Roads in Calton, Richmond, Eden, Corinth, Straffordville, Port Burwell &Vienna. b. Five (5)designs which establish continuity of appearance 3) Estimated Capital Costs: a. 140 Summer Banners - $12,500 i. Five year expected life b. 140 Winter Banners - $12,500 i. Five year expected life c. 140 Banner Hardware sets - $14,000 i. Ten year expected life A Community Wide Banner Program would have similar capital costs to continuing legacy Quality of Place activities however would have the added benefit of providing more equitable Quality of Place activities to the Municipality. RECOMMENDATION 1. THAT Report CAO-31/19 re Quality of Place Activities be received for information; 2. AND THAT procurement of Quality of Place activities inventory be referred to 2020 Capital Budget deliberations. Respectfully Submitted by: Paul Shipway CAOICIerk t.fr.14;*7- 1111ft I REPORT CAO pol_tunity I5 TO: Mayor & Members of Council FROM: Paul Shipway, CAOICIerk DATE: April 18, 2019 REPORT: CAO-32/19 SUBJECT: ACCESSIBLE RECREATIONAL TRAILS CONSULTATION BACKGROUND The Integrated Accessibility Standard Regulation (0. Reg 191/11) requires that municipalities consult the public, people with disabilities and an accessibility advisory committee, where one exists concerning various public features. Elgin County has a Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee with Central Elgin only due to population size. No other local municipality has a population exceeding 10,000. In an effort to utilize shared services for the purpose of accessible feature consultation a survey and consultation was conducted by the Elgin County Accessibility Coordinator. DISCUSSION Further to the consultation and survey, the Elgin County Accessibility Coordinator invited staff from local municipalities to attend the Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee to provide feedback on the proposed feature document, attached hereto as Appendix 'A'. Feedback from the Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee was incorporated into the document, which was sent to local municipalities for staff review. This is the same process and procedure the Municipality utilized to approve the Accessible Playground Consultation in 2017. RECOMMENDATION 1. THAT Report CAO-32/19 re Accessible Recreational Trails Consultation be received for information; 2. AND THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham direct staff to utilize the Accessible Recreational Trails Consultation document, attached hereto as Appendix 'A' when building new, or redeveloping a recreational trail and associated features. Respectfully Submitted by: Paul Shipway CAOICIerk i YHA - 4 P s`s4.Av. O- t°poi'tunity Is�0 Municipality of Bayham Accessible Recreational Trails Consultation Document & Guidelines Section 1 - Background The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) was enacted in 2005 with the overarching goal for making Ontario accessible for people with disabilities by the year 2025. Under this legislation, an accessible Ontario is to be achieved through the development, implementation and enforcement of accessibility standards. Accessibility features in the exterior environment will be regulated primarily through the Design of Public Spaces Standard under the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR) (O. Reg 191/11). As per the IASR, all municipalities shall ensure that any recreational trails that they construct or redevelop, and that they intend to maintain, meet the following technical requirements: 1. A recreational trail must have a minimum clear width of 1,000 mm. 2. A recreational trail must have a clear height that provides a minimum head room clearance of 2,100 mm above the trail. 3. The surface of a recreational trail must be firm and stable. 4. Where a recreational trail has openings in its surface, i. the openings must not allow passage of an object that has a diameter of more than 20 mm, and ii. any elongated openings must be orientated approximately perpendicular to the direction of travel. 5. Where a recreational trail is constructed adjacent to water or a drop-off, the trail must have edge protection that meets the following requirements: i. The edge protection must constitute an elevated barrier that runs along the edge of the recreational trail in order to prevent users of the trail from slipping over the edge. ii. The top of the edge protection must be at least 50 mm above the trail surface. iii. The edge protection must be designed so as not to impede the drainage of the trail surface. 6. Despite paragraph 5, where there is a protective barrier that runs along the edge of a recreational trail that is adjacent to water or a drop-off, edge protection does not have to be provided. 7. The entrance to a recreational trail must provide a clear opening of between 850 mm and 1,000 mm, whether the entrance includes a gate, bollard or other entrance design. 8. A recreational trail must have at each trail head signage that provides the following information: i. The length of the trail. ii. The type of surface of which the trail is constructed. iii. The average and the minimum trail width. iv. The average and maximum running slope and cross slope. v. The location of amenities, where provided. 0. Reg. 413/12, s. 6. (2) The signage referred to in paragraph 8 of subsection (1) must have text that, (a) has high tonal contrast with its background in order to assist with visual recognition; and (b) includes characters that use a sans serif font. 0. Reg. 413/12, s. 6. (3) Where other media, such as park websites or brochures, are used by the obligated organization to provide information about the recreational trail, beyond advertising, notice or promotion, the media must provide the same information as listed in paragraph 8 of subsection (1). 0. Reg. 413/12, s. 6. In addition to these legislated design requirements above, the IASR also requires municipalities to consult the public, people with disabilities and their municipal accessibility advisory committee on the design of recreational trails to develop design solutions that reflect local conditions and meet the needs of all users. This applies to new or redeveloped existing recreational trails that the municipality intends to maintain. The following design components must be consulted on: 1. The slope of the trail. 2. The need for, and location of, ramps on the trail. 3. The need for, location and design of, i. rest areas, ii. passing areas, iii. viewing areas, iv. amenities on the trail, and v. any other pertinent feature. O. Reg. 413/12, s. 6. Section 2—Application In consultation with the Elgin County and Central Elgin Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee, local municipalities, members of the public and individuals with disabilities, the following recreational trail guidelines have been created to assist local municipalities when constructing new or redeveloping existing recreational trails. All design components that are required to be consulted on are included in this guideline. Section 3— Design Trail Slope • Where environmentally practicable, restrict cross slopes to 2%, running slopes under 5% • Where this is not practicable, trail designer should consult with stakeholders to determine best possible outcomes • Outcomes may include warning measures such as signage: "Caution, steep slope" or in a less extreme case, an opportunity for grade separation (ramps and or switchbacks).
