Good morning, Thank you for…

Good morning,

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Ministry of Municipal Affairs' proposal to amend Ontario Regulation 332/12 (Building Code).

Please see the attached file containing Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s comments on this ERO posting (#019-1332).

As requested below, we have included our recommendations here in the comment box for your reference:

In order to ensure the protection of people and property from natural hazards and the conservation of natural resources, TRCA recommends that:

1) The MTO process to designate transit corridor land be coordinated with MMAH, municipalities and conservation authorities where applicable in the early stages of the planning and/or environmental assessment process in order to avoid increasing the risk of natural hazards (flood and erosion risks) to infrastructure, development or public health and safety.

2) Conservation authorities’ regulations made under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act continue to be “applicable law” under O. Reg. 332/12 (Building Code).

Please contact me should you have any difficulty opening the attached file. Confirmation of your receipt would be appreciated.

Regards,
