Bass Pro Mills Drive Extension (between Highway 400 and Weston Road) Schedule C MCEA Study – Limited Environmental Impact Study

The material in it reflects Stantec’s professional judgement in light of the scope, schedule and other limitations stated in the document and in the contract between Stantec and the Client. [...] The Project is located within the City of Vaughan and within the administrative jurisdiction of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). [...] The Class EA for Municipal Infrastructure Projects was approved by the Minister of the Environment (now the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks) in 2000. [...] 4.3.2 Species of Regional Concern The TRCA assigns all fauna and flora species and vegetation communities recorded within the region a local rank (L-rank) that is partly on the ecological sensitivity of the species/community and partly on the population status within the TRCA jurisdiction (TRCA 2021). [...] Restoring the vegetated buffer on Black Creek in the Study Area and connecting it to the vegetated buffer on the reach to the south is an opportunity to improve ecological terrestrial linkage in the Study Area.
