1.          the Toronto Port Authority:

a.         to ensure that its new comprehensive air study address nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, volatile organic carbons (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and carbonyl compounds, particularly acrolein;

b.         to include the following components in its new comprehensive air modelling study: a detailed emissions inventory combined with modelling to predict air quality impacts from current and projected activities at the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport and beyond the airport boundaries; comparison of results to any existing ambient measurements in the vicinity and to federal and provincial ambient air quality guidelines; an airport monitoring program that includes assessment of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and carbonyl compounds, particularly acrolein; and a human health risk assessment to explore the potential health risks associated with airport emissions only, and airport emissions relative to the overall potential health risks from air pollution in the community;

c.         to provide opportunities for the Toronto City Centre Airport Noise Management Study Advisory Group to review the terms of reference for the comprehensive air study and provide input; and

d.         to provide opportunities for the airport consultative committee and the Toronto Medical Officer of Health to advise on mitigation plans for health and environmental concerns, including those indirectly related to airport operations such as emissions from taxis or parking lots; and

 e.        that the proposed “Airport Consultative Committee” or the “Toronto City Centre Airport Noise Management Study Advisory Committee” be structured to have representation similar to the committee established at the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, including representation from Toronto Public Health, Transport Canada and the community;

f.          to provide a full break down of all the chemicals which are used in operations at the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport; and

g.         to outline their policies and practices that are in place to prevent hazardous wastes from entering the holding tanks and/or the city sewer system or the lake water that surrounds this airport;

2.         the Ontario Ministry of the Environment to ensure that the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport is in full compliance with provincial environmental regulations, and to require the airport to employ state-of-the art methods for containing, recycling or eliminating contaminated runoff from the airport, especially with respect to the use of ethylene glycol used during de-icing operations;

3.         the Toronto Police Service and Transportation Services, Right-of-Way Management, Permit Parking by-law enforcement to aggressively enforce the anti-idling by-law at the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport;

4.         the Medical Officer of Health to report to the Board of Health on the environmental assessments required for expansion at the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport;

5.         the General Manager, Toronto Water, to:

a.         identify what chemicals are used in the de-icing fluids, as well as in other cleaning products used at the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport; and

b.         test the water pumped from the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport holding tanks into the city sewer system for all the chemicals that they have identified; and

6.         that all written submissions presented to the Board of Health with regard to the “Update on Air Pollution from Toronto’s Airports” be forwarded to the Provincial and Federal Ministers of Environment and Health, to any other appropriate government authorities and to well established environmental groups in Ontario.
