The Chairman and Members of the Hamilton Region Conservation Authority, 1217 Main Street West, HAMILTON, Ontario.
Gentlemen:
As requested by letter dated
September 28, 1967, and with the approval
of the Hamilton-Wentworth Planning Area
Board given on October 11, 1967, we have
prepared Part I "A study of the Ancaster-
Dundas Valley System for Conservation
purposes''.
Part I is A Survey of Existing
Conditions only, and will be followed
by Part II, analysis and recommendations,
after the various proposals for the High-
way No. 8 alignment are known. This pro-
cedure was agreed to by your Field
Officer, Mr. B. W., Vanderbrug.
We hope that Part I of the
study will be of value to the Authority.
Respectfully submitted,
ee ext es) OUTR Director of Planning and Secretary-Treasurer.

Re: Ancaster-Dundas Valley System
Dear Mr. Pound:
As you are aware, the Hamilton Region Conservation Authority
is presently considering the preservation of the Dundas-
Ancaster Valley system and using same for passive as well as
intensive recreational purposes.
The need for more open space, especially around our urban centres is quite obvious and we feel that the Dundas-Ancaster
Valley would be a major contribution towards the provision of
Open spaces in this region. Geographically, this valley system
is ideally located, and its topographical features would permit
developments such as skiing, tobogganing, camping, picnicking
and swimming, We are also looking at this valley system as a
possible site for a conservation school. The major portion
of this valley system of course, would be preserved as such
and could be used for hiking, nature studies etc,
Our staff has done a considerable amount of work on this project
and we have now established the rough boundaries of the area
which we feel should be set aside for this project. This area
encompasses approximately 2,500 to 3,000 acres and we feel
that its preservation could be achieved by a combination of land
acquistions and conservation easements.
We understand that your staff is presently engaged in the pre-
paration of official plans for the Town of Dundas and the Town-
ship of Ancaster and that you have also been authorized to make
a study of the various recreational facilities in this region. These studies are directly related to our plans in this valley system and since this project will have a major impact on the
surrounding development we would appreciate it if your staff
could make an appraisal of this valley system in conjunction
with your own studies. If this is possible, we would hope
that such a study would give us information on the following:
a) Define the area which is to be designated as a conservation
area b) Make an appraisal of the impact of this area and its develop-
ment on existing and projected land use adjacent to the area
(physical, social and economic) c) Make recommendations as to which areas in this valley system
should be developed for recreational purposes and methods
of access to those areas
dad). Make a projection as to the total area and population that
this valley system might serve
I hope that you will find it possible to undertake this study
for us and if further information is required, please do not
hesitate to contact our office.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours very truly,
HAMILTON REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY

The Hamilton-Wentworth Planning
Area Board received a request on
September 28, 1967, from the Hamilton
Region Conservation Authority to under-
take a study of the Ancaster-Dundas
Valley System. At the Planning Board
meeting held on October 11, 1967, the
Board instructed the Technical Staff to
proceed with the study in accordance
with the following motion:
"Tt was MOVED by G. Chertkoff
and SECONDED by Dr. Found that the
Technical Staff of the Hamilton-Wentworth
Planning Area Board undertake a study of
the Ancaster-Dundas Valley System in
accordance with the terms of reference
listed in the Hamilton Region Conser-
vation Authority's letter, dated
September 28, 1967, on the condition
that the Conservation Authority will
contribute up to $2,000.00 towards the
eost of carrying out the study."
By letter dated October 27, 1967,
the Hamilton Region Conservation Authority
agreed to contribute towards the cost of

the Study and subject to provincial
approval an amount not to exceed ‘$2,000.00.
By letter dated December 12, 1967,
the Hamilton Region Conservation Authority
advised that the necessary provincial
approval had been obtained.
B. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The purpose of this part of the
study is to determine the limits of a study
area within which a Conservation Area may
be developed. Following the definition of
this study area, a detailed cataloguing of
all existing physical features was’
made together with assessment of transpor-
tation facilities, land ownership patterns,
etc.
Because at this time the final
proposals of the Department of Highways
with respect to the location of Highway 8,
Dundas By-Pass, are not known, the balance
of the study cannot be completed.
Part II of the study will deal
in detail With the following:
- Future land use impacts
- Future transportation needs
- Recommended areas for acqui-
sition by the Conser-
vation Authority
- Recommended programming of
land acquisition
- Suggested methods of acquiring
funds for these land

C. GENERAL LOCATION AND REGIONAL
SETTING OF THE PROPOSED CON-
SERVATION AREA
The Study Area is located with-
in the County of Wentworth, and in the
Townships of Ancaster, Beverly, West
Flamborough, the Town of Dundas, and the
City of Hamilton, (see Maps #1 and 3).
The City of Hamilton, the Town
of Dundas, and Ancaster Village abut the
study area on three sides. Within the
study area there is one hamlet known as
Mineral Springs, and there are scattered
residences throughout the whole of the
aedy area.
The County of Wentworth is
strategically located approximately mid-
way between the urban centres of Buffalo
and Detroit in United States, and the
Metropolitan Area of Toronto. Planners
have repeatedly warned that the
development and expansion of urban areas
possibly stretching from Oshawa to Buffalo
in what is generally called the Golden
Horseshoe, will result in a great need in
the future for Conservation and Recreation
areas.

' The Ancaster-Dundas Valley which
is at the centre of the Golden Horseshoe,
and close to excellent communication routes
such as the Queen Elizabeth Way, Highway
401, etc., would undoubtedly serve the
anticipated urban development in this
region.
The Ancaster-Dundas Valley system
is approximately 10.5 miles in length, and
for the purposes of the study is defined
to be from Cootes Paradise at Dundas to
Paddy Green's Road in Ancaster. The part
of the Valley system under study is
approximately 5.3 miles in length and
approximately 2.5 miles in width. The
total Valley system is approximately 13.25
square miles in area or 8,480 acres. The'
study area covers approximately 4,500 acres.

D. THE AIMS OF CONSERVATION
In 1946 the Province of Ontario
enacted the Conservation Authority's Act.
The Hamilton Region Conservation Authority
was created in 1966, and incorporated the
former Spencer Creek Conservation Author-
ity.
The aim of a Conservation
Authority is to carry out the Conservation
of natural resources within its area of
jurisdiction. The areas of concern may
be summarized as follows:
This involves the construction
of flood control dams and reservoirs,
small water supply reservoirs, channeli-
zation and improvement of streams, pro-
hibition of building construction below
the high watermark and the dumping of
fill in certain areas.
This involves the acquisition
of lands such as flood plain lands, pre-
servation of source areas such as swamps
and marsnes, ete., scenic areas, the. con-
trol of stream bank erosion, soil con-
servation measures, assistance to land
owners for grass waterways and tile
drainage.

II. CONTENT OF THE STUDY
A. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF
THE ANCASTER-DUNDAS VALLEY
1. Topography - The area of
the Ancaster-Dundas Valley included in
this Study has local relief which rises
from 263 feet to 890 feet above sea
level (627 feet). The lowest point is
the Ancaster Creek in the vicinity of
the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Rail-
way close to Highway No. 8 and Highway
No. 2, the highest point is in the area
of the head waters of Mineral Springs
Creek, in the morainic depositions of
this area, (see Map /#2A).
2. Land Forms - (Physiography) -
The Ancaster-—Dundas Valley resulted from
pre-glacial erosion which cut deeply into
the bedrock of the Niagara Escarpment.
Hrosion and deposition changed the Valley
further during glacial periods. Glaciers
eroded the surface and carried rocky
material considerable distances from their
places of origin. Rocky, unstratified
material was deposited by the advancing
and retreating ice lobes covering this area.
The oscillating ice margin created glacial
lakes, between ice lobes and the exposed
land spillways; glacio-lacustrine deposits
and shore line features in the Valley are

a The
part of these depositions of glacial
waters.
The lower section of the Valley
is part of a glacial end moraine with
gravelly depositions and intermittent pro-
glacial lake terraces. Stream bank erosion
and slippage can be seen in various areas.
The middle part of the Valley is a rough
area of glacial depositions with a kame
and kettle land forms, and drainage is
blocked in places by the sag and swell land
forms in this area.
The upper section of the Valley
is characterized by glacio-lacustrine land
forms. The sides of the Valley are part of
the Niagara Escarpment, a striking land
form, which has great value for potential
conservation and recreational land use
purposes. The exposed bedrock is dolomite
limestone, and can be described asacuesta.
The Escarpment is most pronounced in the
area along Highway No. 2 and is overridden
by glacial-drift in the location of Mineral
Springs, and exposed again in the northerly
Side of the Valley close to Bullocks Corners
(see Map /2C).

and Ancaster Creek, are located within
the Study Area, which together with the
contributory watercourses make up the
flow of water in the Ancaster-Dundas
Valley. In the case of Spring Creek and
Ancaster Creek, the head waters are not
within the Study Area, however the impact
of water flow, water storage and surface
conditions in their respective watersheds
become factors in all sections of the
Valley contributing to the erosion of
stream banks (see Map //2B).
There are no records available
of highwater marks establishing flood
plains in the Study Area. Because the
streams are fast flowing, little flooding
appears to occur except during spring
breakup of ice which affects the lower
parts of the Study Area.
4%. Soils - Most soils in the
Study Area were deposited during glacial
periods. The parent material of this
soil came from the underlying bedrock
formations of the Polaeozoic strata, and
the soil belongs to the grey-brown Podzolic
group.
Different types of soil originate
from various types of rock material. Soil
is deposited throughout thousands of years

The Study Area has various
soil types which are shown on Map /#2D.
The soils within the Valley are mostly
silty clay loam of fine texture and are
generally well drained. The soil covers
a coarse sand and gravel.
The northern and western areas
of the Valley have sand and sandy loam
soils with a fine texture and are generally
well drained. Outside the study area, on
the north-westerly boundaries of the
Valley, is a lacustrine plain with light
silty loams with fair to good drainage.
The north-easterly section has the out-
runners of the heavy loams of the Trafalgar
type with average to poor drainage. Level
areas in the Valley usually indicate a
clay fill soil, while irregular knobby
topography suggests gravel or sand deposits.
Some areas in the end moraine
have pockets of sand and silt deposited by
ice contact or river outwash.

B. VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE
Most forested areas shown on
Map #5 are a secondary growth. The lower
partly swampy areas have tree stands
associated with wet moist conditions,
i.e. Cedar, Birch, Beech, Willow and
Swamp Maple; clearings in the morainic
area have residual trees such as
Hickory, Ash, Hemlock, Chestnut, and
Kim, the Elm trees have been badly
affected by the Dutch lm disease.
Sugar Maple and Beech are found in
more densely forested areas. Pine
and Spruce are located on slopes
having a northerly exposure, and Birch
is common on the slopes having a
southerly exposure. Some areas have
been reforested with coniferous trees,
and areas of former pasture land are
covered with scrub growth.
Because of the variety of
habitats, the Study Area could accom-
modate a large variety of animal
species. Although no study has been
made, observations indicate that the
following species are found in the
Study Area:
white-tail deer (near the
scrub land boardering farm lands and

game birds such as the wood-

pheasant, and hawks, owls, crows, finches,
woodpeckers, etc.
The creeks within the Study
Area have few fish apparently due to
seasonal low water levels and pollution.

C. HISTORICAL SUMMARY
The lands of the Ancaster-
Dundas Valley were first travelled by
French explorers and merchants trading
with Indians in the area. Settlers
came to the area in the 18th century and
settlement occurred predominantly after
the American Revolution.
Governor Simcoe in 1793 ordered
the survey of Governor's Road or Highway
No. 99 which was done by the Deputy Pro-
vincial Surveyor for the Niagara District,
Augustus Jones, the road was completed
in 1795 by the Queen's Rangers.
Karly buildings of various
architectual periods are located within
the Study Area or nearby. There is a Saw
Mill site on Ancaster Creek, and other
early structures are located in Lot 42,
Concession 1, the Hermitage property on
the west side of Sulphur Spring Roads; the
remains of a Saw Mill are in Mineral
Springs. The Sulphur Spring waters of
Mineral Creek were formally utilized as
a spa by a Hotel which was located on
Sulphur Spring Road.

D. BAISTING LAND USE
The land use within the Study
Area is shown on Map #6. The breakdown
of land uses is as follows:
- One-family
detached dwellings = 64
- Summer residences = 5
- An Anglican Church
recreation centre
and camp
- A construction yard
The traditional rural character
of the Study Area has changed to one of
mixed rural and low-density residential.
The original large agricultural holdings
have been broken up, and existing large
holdings are not being used for agricul-
tural purposes.

G. TRANSPORTATION
1, ROADS | The proposed Conservation Area
is located close to the periphery of
Metropolitan Hamilton. A major Provincial
Highway - Highway 403 now under construc-
tion within the Township of Ancaster - will
provide access to the Study Area from
Hamilton and the hinterland via the Town-
ship of Ancaster local road system. High-
way No. 99 and Highway 2 are bordering the
Study Area and can provide access to it.
Traffic from the north can use Highway No.
5 and the local roads system in West Flam-
borough to approach the Study Area; traffic
from the east can use Highway No. 53.
Within the Conservation Area.
itself, there are existing minor township
roads. These penerally are of low traffic
capacity and provide access only to parts
of the Study Area.
ee PROPOSED
HIGHWAY During 1967 the Department of
NO. Highways announced plans for a proposed
OR DUNDAS highway alignment connecting from a point
BY-PASS. close to the existing Christies Corners in
| West Flamborough Township to the Mohawk
interchange on Highway 403. The road was

described as a Rural Freeway by the pre-
liminary plans, profiles, etc., that were
available subsequent to the release of
information on this proposal by the Depart-
ment of Highways. It appeared that there
would be a 200 foot right-of-way plus
additional widths wherecut and fill were
encountered on the route. This right-of-
way is carved through the heart of the area
now under study for Conservation purposes.
Subsequent to the announcement
of this proposed route, it was found that
the Department of Highways had registered
a warning on title against properties
affected by the route in the Toronto Lands
Registry Office. The route is shown on
Drawing No. 7. It is estimated that the
total acreage within the study area con-
sumed by the proposed right-of-way is
approximately 41 acres. This area does
not include lands required for side
Stopping. wiere cnere is cut. and Till, as
this detailed information is not avail-

way represents 1.2% of the lands within
the Study Area.

Hamilton Region Conservation Authority
and others to the Department of High-
ways with respect to the affect that
this proposal would have upon the Valley
as it exists, and any future development
of a Conservation Area. It was later
announced by the Minister of Highways
that his department would be prepared
to examine alternative routes and that
these alternatives would be made avail-
able along with the details of the
original route for study by the various
area authorities affected, i.e. Hamilton
Region Conservation Authority, Local
Municipal Councils, Hamilton-Wentworth
Planning Area Board, etc.
To date, the alternate routes
has not been made public and therefore
this part of the report does not deal in
any detail with the impact of the pro-
posed highway on the Study Area. It
can be stated that any highway route
within the study area will have the
following affects:
a) The development and
planning of the Study Area would be
adversely affected by the intrusion of

TRANS-
PORTATION
b).. In an-area which is in-
tended to be eeinuad for Recreation,
Wild Life Sanctuary purposes, and for
quiet enjoyment by people of a Conser-
vation Area a highway such as the one
proposed, will have anadverse affect
because of the generation of a con-
siderable amount of traffic noise.
c) There will be the visual
impact of a highway, whether elevated
depressed or at natural ground level,
on an area that is essentially proposed
to be protected, as far as is possible,
in its natural state, from urban encroach-
ment and uses which are incompatible with
the concept of a Conservation Area.
The existing public trans-
portation available to the area is min-
imal in nature, and from the point of
view of providing an adequate means of
access to the area, can be discounted.
There is, however, an existing
railway line which twists and loops
anrough part of the Study Area. It.is
conceivable that in considering the
future drawing power of this area and
its relationshiv to the ever-expanding

H. EXISTING PUBLIC SERVICKHS
The municipal water supply
system by wells for part of the urban
area of Ancaster is located on the east
side of Mineral Springs Road, south of
Highway 99. Ancaster is examining
additional water supply from this source
for its future needs. There are isolated,
residential dwellings within the Study |
Area, they are served by their own
individual wells. From present infor-
mation available, it appears that there
is adequate natural water supply in the
area to satisfy the drinking water
requirements of a Conservation Area.
There is no existing municipal
sanitary sewage disposal system in the
Valley Area. However, the Township of
Ancaster is considering several alter-
natives to solve its present problems
with respect to sanitary sewage disposal,
and is considering as one alternative a
possible connection through the Study
Area. Near the Old Ancaster Road extend-
ing to the Dundas Sanitary Sewage System

Road. The future needs of a developed
Conservation Area with respect to Sani-
tary Sewage Disposal might also be
served if the connection between Ancaster
and Dundas through the Valley is decided
upon.
The Ontario Hydro Electric
Power Commission has service available
to the entire area by way of overhead
pole lines.
The Bell Telephone Company
provides telephone service to most res-
idences within the area.
No municipal fire or police
stations are located within the area.
tne closest municipal fire and police
station is on Wilson Street in the Town-
ship of Ancaster. Fire protection could
be provided to future Hamilton Region
Conservation Authority development in
the case of minor fires; the Town of
Dundas and the Township of Ancaster could
enter into agreements with the Conser-
vation Authority for other emergencies.
There is no gas supply system
within the Study Area, however, both the
Town of Dundas and the Village of Ancaster
have gas available abutting the Study Area.

I. APPROXIMATE LAND VALUES
The land ownership pattern
originally laid out by Lot and Con-
cession is still in evidence. However,
further land division is breaking down
the ownership pattern so that nowhere
in the Study Area is there a parcel of
land as originally patended. Although
one owner holds more than 200 acres,
no one owns a complete Township lot.
The division of larger par-
cels of land is taking place along
secondary roads. Map No. 7 together
with the attached ownership chart
shows the up-to-date ownership pattern
in the Study Area, and indicates that
there are approximately 141 separate
ownerships (‘see Appendix No. III).
The pressure of urban
development is being felt over the
entire Study Area, and is best illus-
trated by the number of land divisions
under Section 26 of The Planning Act.
There have been 42 land divisions from
1963 to 1967 inclusive. Speculative
pressure already exists in various
parts of the Study Area. Lands abutting
Lions Club Road have increased in price

considerably today from the ‘500 per
acre averare price in 1957. Owner-
ship chanres without actual develop-
ment indicates that speculative
buying is taking place.
There has been some new
residential development of a low
density nature and of high quality
on Sulphur Springs Road and the Old
Ancaster Road. This development
although dispersed could be respon-
sible in part for’ a trend to higher
land values in the area.
If a pattern of estate type
development extends throushout the
Study Area, it will exclude the public
from having access to the area asa
whole, and will make more difficult
the task of the Conservation Authority
in acquiring substantial land assemblies
for development purposes due to the rising
land costs.
It is evident that manv of the
holdines in_the Valley are of a private
retreat nature, this is particularly so
in the area of Sulphur Springs Road
where mich of the land is posted against
any form of public trespass. Land costs

PROPERTY
RESTRICTIONS
in the area vary considerably depending
upon the size of the property, its
proximity,to existing roads and services,
and its scenic amenities.
Waste land, scrub land, and
swamps have an estimated value of
approximately ‘200 per acre. Areas which
have development potential, have a value
of $200 - $4,000 depending whether they
can be readily serviced or not.
Part 2 of this study will make
recommendations as to areas of land which
should be acquired by the Conservation
Authority, and will give preliminary
estimates of the costs of these acquisitions
based on recent sales in the area.
The ownership pattern as shown
on Map 7 suggests that there may be rights-
of-way to provide access to some properties
which do not front on a road allowance. A
legal search of properties within the area
would probably reveal restrictions which
would have a bearing on the ultimate use
of those lands to be acquired by the Con-
servation Authority.
On May 15, 1967, the Department
of Highways of Ontario deposited at the
Registry Offices in Toronto and Jlamilton a
plan showing the location of a proposed
