The Corporation of Delta COUNCIL REPORT Regular Meeting To: The Partners for Climate Protection Program & the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Green Municipal Fund From: The Office of Climate Action & Environment Date: January 3, 2012 Completion of Partners for Climate Protection Corporate Milestones 4 and 5 The following report has been reviewed and endorsed by the Manager of Climate Action & Environment. RECOMMENDATION: A. THAT a copy of this report and its attachments be forwarded to ICLEI Canada and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Green Municipal Fund for the purpose of review and completion of Corporate Milestones 4 and 5 of the Partners for Climate Protection program. PURPOSE: To provide an update on Delta’s progress with respect to the completion of Milestones 4 and 5 of the Partners for Climate Protection program and to satisfy the reporting requirements of ICLEI Canada and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Green Municipal Fund. BACKGROUND: In 1996, the Corporation of Delta joined the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program for Canadian municipalities. It is a program administered by ICLEI Canada and funded by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Green Municipal Fund. The PCP program is a five milestone process designed to challenge and encourage local governments across Canada to plan, implement and monitor climate action within the corporate and community spheres. There are two program streams within the PCP program: corporate and community. Currently, Delta has completed Corporate Milestone 3 and Community Milestone 1. Delta’s Corporate Climate Change Initiative (the Initiative) was initially approved by Council in July 2007. Since 2009 it has been revised on an annual basis reflecting completed projects, multi-year project progress and new projects. It is a plan that outlines strategies to reduce Delta’s vulnerability and contribution to climate change. Page 2 of 4 Completion of Partners for Climate Protection Corporate Milestones 4 and 5 January 3, 2012 The Initiative was endorsed with the intent that it remains a fluid document which will change over time to adapt to emerging technologies, opportunities and priorities. Each version of the Initiative includes the corporate greenhouse gas emissions baseline and nine action plans which outline specific climate action. The nine action plans are the Building Efficiency Plan, Green Fleet Management Plan, Infrastructure Improvement Plan, Education and Training Plan, Flood Management Plan, Sustainable Development Plan, Community Outreach and Education Plan, Urban Forestry Management Plan and the Natural Areas Management Plan. The implementation of these plans is coordinated by the interdepartmental Climate Change Working Group. The Initiative includes a goal of reducing corporate greenhouse gas emissions by 20% below 2007 levels by 2015. To track progress, an inventory of municipal greenhouse gas emissions is conducted every two years. The most recent inventory was completed in 2011 recording corporate emissions for 2009 and 2010. In following the British Columbia provincial greenhouse gas emission inventory protocol, Delta's revised baseline for 2007 is 7,266 tonnes of C0 2 e. DISCUSSION: Corporate Milestone 4 To fulfill the reporting requirements for the completion of Corporate Milestone 4 of the PCP program, the Corporation of Delta submits the 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Corporate Climate Change Initiatives (Attachment A) as well as the corresponding progress reports for each year (Attachment B). Within each version of the Initiative are the nine action plans that describe project timelines, budget and lead department. The corresponding progress reports describe project status and have been previously submitted to Mayor and Council on a semi-annual basis. Corporate Milestone 5 In fulfillment of the reporting requirement for Corporate Milestone 5 of the PCP program, a record of annual emissions from 2007-2010 and a breakdown of 2010 emissions by sector and fuel type are included in Attachment C. In Attachment D, a recent council report, Delta’s successful greenhouse gas mitigation and inventorying efforts are described. Delta's corporate greenhouse gas baseline for 2007 is 7,266 tonnes of C0 2 e. In 2010, actual greenhouse gas emissions were 6,783 tonnes of C0 2 e, a 6.6% reduction from 2007 levels. Delta's corporate emissions are primarily associated with the municipal buildings and fleet. Staff have assessed future greenhouse gas reduction projections and are confident that the 2015 target can be met. Since 2007, the Corporation of Delta has engaged with the public and various stakeholders in many ways. After approval of the 2007 Initiative, Climate Change Working Group members made a short presentation about the Initiative to other staff throughout the Corporation of Delta traveling to satellite facilities and the Works Yard. This presentation was revised and presented to members of the public at the 2008 Municipal Open House series, the 2009 Tsawwassen Area Plan meetings, municipal resident advisory committees, and at a series of public lectures hosted at local schools Page 3 of 4 Completion of Partners for Climate Protection Corporate Milestones 4 and 5 January 3, 2012 and libraries. It is estimated that over 1,000 residents were reached. In 2008, a pamphlet about climate change and the Initiative was mailed out to every household in Delta. Staff have promoted climate action and the Initiative through a number of interactive special events for children and youth. The Office of Climate Action & Environment has hosted Earth Week, a weeklong celebration of Earth Day, annually since 2008. During this event the public and school children are taught about climate change, how it may affect Delta and what they can do. The Office of Climate Action & Environment has also supported two climate change plays, “Keep Cool!” and the “Climate Change Showdown” which teaches elementary school children about climate change since 2008. Staff facilitates innovative public engagement through collaborative partnerships with institutions like the Centre for Advanced Landscape Planning (CALP) at the University of British Columbia. Since 2009, Delta and CALP have partnered to promote climate action awareness and decision making. CALP is conducting research with respect to climate action visualization and community scale decision making using information about Delta, and input and advice from Delta staff and residents. As part of their research a citizen’s working group was formed to evaluate the images and information produced. This working group and the project have provided rich feedback in terms of adaptation options for Delta. As part of Delta’s communication efforts online material has been recently revised and social media will be used to promote awareness and dialogue. Progress made with respect to the Initiative and the various other collaborations is reported publicly to Mayor and Council on a semi-annual basis. CONCLUSION: The Corporation of Delta has been a member of the Partners for Climate Change Protection program since 1996. We have learned many important lessons since then and are proud of our successes. The completion of Corporate Milestones 4 and 5 demonstrate that climate action can be integrated into business operations in a practical and meaningful way. Looking to the future, staff will apply their climate action knowledge and skills further as part of the Community Energy and Emissions Plan.

The report concludes that “unequivocal warming of the climate system” has, and will continue to occur because of human activities – primarily from the burning of fossil fuels and the 1 resulting release of harmful greenhouse gases (GHGs) . It is estimated that up to half of Canada’s GHG emissions are under the direct or indirect control or influence of municipal governments. Consequently, municipalities have become a focal point of both the Government of Canada’s and Province of British Columbia’s climate change action planning. Delta Council has long understood the important role municipal leadership plays with regard to climate change initiatives/actions and has progressively pursued various environmental stewardship initiatives that have effectively reduced the municipalities’ ecological footprint. To further this environmental stewardship movement, Delta has developed a unique and progressive Climate Change Initiative (Initiative) aimed at reducing Delta’s vulnerability and contribution to climate change. To ensure the success of the Initiative, staff has formed an interdepartmental Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) that will ensure that each action plan is developed, implemented, monitored and results reported back to Council. In addition, the CCWG will build upon the Initiative by revising action plans annually and adding new action plans as required. This process of development, implementation and feedback will ensure that action plans are regularly updated. The action plans contained within Delta’s Climate Change Initiative focus on reducing the energy consumed and solid waste generated during the delivery of municipal services and the operation of civic facilities. Delta’s Climate Change Initiative is not only comprehensive, but is also intended to reflect both corporate and community needs and values. Tackling climate change with individual, focused action plans is unique amongst municipalities. It will allow Delta to focus efforts where they belong and bring about the best opportunities for successful GHG emission reductions. 1 There are primarily six major GHGs, targeted by the Kyoto protocol as contributing to global warming. The top contributors are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulphur hexafluoride. Climate Change Initiative A Corporate Framework for Action 2011 The Corporation of Delta’s 2007 Greenhouse Gas Baseline Inventory (Revised December 2008) The municipality has created a list or “inventory” of all of the municipal buildings, vehicles, and utilities that produced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2007. Once this was complete, Delta hired a consultant to calculate the amount of CO2e (GHG emissions) produced by each item on the inventory. The calculations considered the amount of natural gas used to heat or cool Delta’s recreational facilities (arenas and pools), the amount of electricity needed to provide street and traffic lighting, heat and light for municipal buildings, parks and other recreational/cultural facilities, the amount of electricity required to operate Delta’s water, sewer and drainage utilities, and the amount of gasoline and biodiesel fuel needed to operate Delta’s municipal fleet vehicles and equipment. Cumulatively, these represent the total GHG emissions produced by the Corporation of Delta in 2007. The table below outlines the GHG emission totals in nine subcategories. This information was revised in December 2008. Corporate Fixed Infrastructure Aquatic and Arena Facilities Other Community Facilities Municipal Hall & Works Yard Utilities Lighting Police and Fire Buildings Parks Other Corporate Vehicle Fuels Fleet Vehicles Total Corporate Inventory Tonnes of CO2e 4586 287 273 99 84 522 39 9 2295 8194 Delta used the 2007 baseline inventory to set a GHG reduction target for the Climate Change Initiative. The goal is to reduce Delta’s corporate GHG emissions by 20% of 2007 levels by 2015. In order to track the success of the Initiative, Delta will conduct a baseline inventory review in April 2011. This inventory will allow the municipality to celebrate successes, identify areas that require more attention and to harmonize and set interim emission reduction target goals.

Natural Areas Management Plan Climate Change Initiative A Corporate Framework for Action 2011 Building Efficiency Plan Building Efficiency Plan Goals: Delta's civic buildings emit approximately 65% of our corporate GHG emissions, 80% of which can be attributed to major recrea‐ tional facilities. Improving the efficiency of the major recreational facilities continues to be the principle goal of the Building Effi‐ ciency Plan for 2011 through the retro‐commissioning of existing building systems. Building Efficiency Plan Summary: Improving the energy efficiency of the civic building stock is the primary goal of the Building Efficiency Plan. Facility energy audits completed at Delta’s five major recreation facilities has provided the basis for the development and implementation of large scale retro‐commissioning projects. An example of such a project is the Sungod energy retrofit project, a GHG reduction guaranteed based design/ build retrofit project initiated in 2010 and planned for completion by April 2011. For 2011 a similar project is being undertaken for the Ladner Leisure Centre, Delta’s second highest GHG emitting facility. Energy efficiency projects are also being pursued as part of the Corporate Financial Implications: Buildings Life Cycle Replacement program and as opportunities percent themselves. Examples of initiatives planned for 2011 include: Energy efficiency and management: ▪ Energy efficient lighting retrofits (various sites) ▪ Enhanced metering and continuous optimization programs ▪ Low E Ceilings (NDRC & SDRC curling rinks) ▪ Building envelope replacement ▪ Energy Manager (subsidized by BC Hydro) $50,000 (Delta’s committed portion) ▪ Ladner Leisure Centre energy retrofit $ 730,000 ▪ Civic building energy assessment and system component replacements Existing budget Future Building Efficiency Actions: Energy efficiency and management: ▪ Continue to plan, implement and assess energy saving initiatives throughout the Corporation for all civic buildings., e.g. demand side management and training programs.

Climate Change Initiative A Corporate Framework for Action 2011 Green Fleet Management Plan Green Fleet Management Plan Goals: To reduce Delta's fleet vehicle GHG emissions levels to 20% below 2007 levels by 2015 Delta will reduce its fleet‐related emis‐ sions by 459 tonnes of CO2e. In 2007, the corporate fleet vehicles emitted 28% of all of Delta's Corporate GHG emissions. This equates to 2295 tonnes of the total 8194 tonnes of CO2e emitted through the delivery and operation of municipal services. Green Fleet Management Plan Summary: The Green Fleet Management Plan is a major component of Delta's Corporate Climate Change Initiative. The plan is based on a program of actions that aim to reduce GHG emissions and improve the overall efficiency of Delta's corporate fleet. The plan includes fleet accreditation through the Fraser Basin Council's E3 Fleet Accreditation Program, an Energy Efficient Vehicle and Component Pur‐ chasing Strategy, and a transportation demand management program for Delta employees. Delta has already implemented or participated in several successful programs that have reduced fleet emissions, including: ▪ Achieved E3 Green Fleet Gold level accreditation ▪ Purchase of 22 hybrid‐electric vehicles ▪ Off‐Road Pollution Prevention Program ▪ Diesel Oxidation Catalyst Conversions ▪ ECM (Electronic Control Module) Adjustments ▪ Use of biodiesel and ethanol blended gasoline ▪ Anti‐idling policy Future Green Fleet Management Actions: Financial Implications: E3 Green Fleet accreditation: ▪ Maintain Gold Rating Existing Budget E3 Green Fleet accreditation: Delta achieved gold level accreditation and will make efforts to maintain this level by implementing actions within the following best management practice categories: ▪ training and awareness ▪ operations/maintenance ▪ idling reduction ▪ trip and route planning ▪ vehicle purchasing ▪ utilization management ▪ fuel data management ▪ GHG performance ▪ vehicle right‐sizing ▪ light weight components Energy efficient vehicle purchasing strategy: The Energy Efficient Purchasing Strategy includes: Potential Funding Opportunities: 1.

Engineering (lead), All Departments (support) Climate Change Initiative A Corporate Framework for Action 2011 Infrastructure Improvement Plan Infrastructure Improvement Plan Goals: According to Delta's greenhouse gas (GHG) 2007 baseline study, water, sewer, drainage infrastructure and corporate solid waste collection processes emitted 9% of all of Delta's Corporate GHG emissions ‐ 7% from solid waste, 1% from utilities, and 1% from street lighting. This equates to approximately 763tonnes of CO2. Delta will reduce emissions generated through the provision of corporate solid waste, utilities and lighting as technology permits. This will represent a 2% to 15% emission reduction amongst water, sewer, drainage and solid waste services. Infrastructure Improvement Plan Summary: The Infrastructure Improvement Plan aims to reduce GHG emissions and consider the susceptibility of infrastructure servicing to related climate change impacts. To do both, the plan has been broken into two components: the Utility Service Im‐ provement Plan and the Transportation Improvement Plan. 1. The Utility Service Improvement Plan proposes to identify ways to improve the energy efficiency of Delta’s utility services. This will include further efficiency reviews and improvements to Delta’s sanitary and water pump stations, flood boxes and street lighting. Staff will continue to promote water conservation through the WaterWise team, volunteer water meter program and recycling by providing additional recycling options for staff and the community such as residential curbside food waste collection. In addition, staff will continue to implement drainage best management practices (rain gardening, infiltration swales, permeable surfaces, etc). 2. The Transportation Improvement Plan proposes to look at our transportation infrastructure and develop ways to enhance transportation choices while also considering best management practices. The plan will include cycling and walking improvements (corridors, facilities and bike lanes), as well as improved and fully accessible bus stops and bus shelters. Future Infrastructure Improvement Plan Actions: The Utility Service Improvement Plan: ▪ Pump Stations/Flood boxes ‐ A sanitary/water pump site will be upgraded with a variable speed drive to improve energy efficiency. ▪ Street Lighting – Investigate new energy efficient street lighting technologies. ▪ Water Metering Program – Continue with voluntary residential water metering. ▪ Energy Recovery—Continue to monitor Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) station to assess power generation capability; review sewer heat recovery options. ▪ Recycling – Review opportunities for installing additional recycling bins to reduce solid waste generated by Delta. ▪ Best Management Practices— Continue to implement drainage BMPs and the installation of rain gardens. The Transportation Improvement Plan: ▪ Walking/Biking ‐ Continue to improve bicycle facilities, guidance signs, maps, and a strengthened sidewalk network. Long range cycling for infra‐ structure implementation plan. ▪ Transportation and Road Space Infrastructure ‐ Review pedestrian op‐ tions, bike lanes/corridors (rather than just shared vehicles/bike lanes – may require street parking reductions), and improved transit service. Financial Implications: The Utility Service Improvement Plan: ▪ Pump station upgrades $300,000 ▪ Implement street light pilot program $50,000 ▪ Voluntary water meter program $150,000 ▪ PRV station upgrade $420,000 ▪ Rain garden implementation $ 40,000 The Transportation Improvement Plan: ▪ Walking/cycling infrastructure $445,000 ▪ Transportation and road space $100,000 infrastructure ▪ Improving accessibility by lighting of pathways $300,000 Potential Funding Opportunities: ▪ FCM’s Green Municipal Fund (Transportation) Ministry of EMPR's Community Action on Energy Efficiency ▪ Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund ▪ BC Ministry of T’s Cycling Infrastructure Program ▪ BC Ministry of CS’s Local Motion Fund ICBC ‐ Road Sense ▪ BC Local Infrastructure Planning Grant Program ▪ BC Hydro Department: Engineering (lead) Climate Change Initiative A Corporate Framework for Action 2011 Education and Training Plan Education and Training Plan Goal: The goal of the Education and Training Plan is to educate approximately 1000 full time, part time and temporary staff about the impacts of climate change and how staff may reduce emissions or adapt to impacts. This training will assist the reduction of Delta’s ecological footprint and will save money on energy costs. These actions will have a positive impact on the environment, as well as enable staff to affect change in the workplace and the community. In 2011 staff education opportunities will be provided to enhance knowledge and values related to ecology, sustainable transportation, local food and energy efficiency. Education and Training Plan Summary: The Education and Training Plan is intended to train and educate Delta employees about the opportunities for and benefits of reducing GHG Emissions and adapting to climate change impacts. The Plan will include training (e.g. fuel efficient driving techniques). This plan will build upon existing educational and training initiatives, including: ▪ Workshops and education sessions ▪ BEST Commuter Challenge ▪ Turn it Off Challenge Future Education and Training Actions: Financial Implications: Education events: Throughout the year all staff will be invited to participate in related lunch and learns or events that highlight climate change, sustainability, transpor‐ tation and energy conservation. ▪ Earth Week—April 2011 ▪ Commuter Challenge—Spring 2011 ▪ Fall Harvest—Fall 2011 ▪ Turn it Off campaign— November 2011 Education/training opportunities for staff: Where funding is available, staff will be offered the opportunity to attend environmental workshops and conferences that are related to their posi‐ tion. These may include: ▪ Building energy efficiency, sustainability, planning and other related seminars. Reporting success: All successes will be reported to staff and Mayor and Council. Education events: ▪ Materials and fees $ 1,400 (CAE budget) Education/Training Opportunities for Staff: Existing budget Reporting Success to Staff Existing staff time Potential Funding Opportunities: ▪ Corporate department budgets & staff time ▪ Stewardship Canada Department: Human Resources, Climate Action & Environment and Engineering (lead), All other departments (support) Climate Change Initiative A Corporate Framework for Action 2011 Flood Management Plan Flood Management Plan Goals: Most of the Corporation of Delta is located on the lowlands of the Fraser River delta, and is protected by an extensive dike sys‐ tem along the Fraser River, the Strait of Georgia, and Boundary Bay. While the dike system provides a substantial degree of flood protection, it does not completely eliminate the potential for flooding in the protected areas. The goal of the Flood Man‐ agement Plan is to identify ways to reduce the risks associated with climate induced flooding, whether it be from sea level rise, spring freshet events, or extreme precipitation events. Flood Management Plan Summary: Delta's Flood Management Plan is addressing the necessary adaptive strategies needed to reduce the risk of inland and coastal flooding. The Plan will include a seawall/dike improvement strategy to cope with sea level rise, a flood box and pump upgrade program to reduce the impacts of flood events. This plan will build on initiatives that Delta has already taken to reduce flood risk in the community. Some of the initiatives that have been undertaken include: ▪ Annual flood preparedness for Boundary Bay area ▪ Seawall/dike inspections ▪ Storm surge data collection ▪ Delta storm surge prediction model for winter storm monitoring of flood risk ▪ Flood Risk and Consequence Study and sea level rise impacts presentation. ▪ Supporting national studies such as UBC’s Climate Change Visualization ▪ Participation on the national committee on infrastructure climate change impacts Future Flood Management Actions: Seawall/dike improvements: Climate change is contributing to sea level rise. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has estimated that sea level between 1993 and 2003 rose at a rate of 3.1mm/year. It is likely that the rate of observed sea level rise in the year 2100 will be between 0.6m‐1.2m higher than current levels. Delta will plan sea level/dike improvements and seek senior govern‐ ment funding to address these long term projections. Improving flood infrastructure: Much of Delta is built on a floodplain that is protected by a series of 9 dikes totaling 61.5km in length. It is also protected by floodboxes, pump stations and inland drainage culverts that are normally capable of protecting the community from flooding. As sea level rises, this infrastructure may not be able to handle the load. Delta is commencing to implement improvements to the system to reflect sea level rise projections and to work to continue to provide a reason‐ able level of protection against flooding. Floodplain strategy: Delta is completing an evaluation of flood risk, flood construction levels and future dike elevations for the lowland areas. This is being done to review how risk is changing over time. Delta is also partnering with UBC‐CALP to investigate potential adaptation options and related impacts. Financial Implications: Seawall/Dike Improvements: ▪ Ongoing evaluation of dike upgrade options. ▪ Selected dike improvements. Floodplain strategy ▪ Flood construction level and dike elevation evaluation. ▪ Flood Risk and Consequence study ▪ UBC‐CALP partnership Existing Budget Potential Funding Opportunities: ▪ Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund ▪ BC Local Infrastructure Planning Grant Program ▪ Flood Protection Program Funding Department: Engineering (lead), CP&D (support) Climate Change Initiative A Corporate Framework for Action 2011 Sustainable Development Plan Sustainable Development Plan Goal: Although Delta is not growing rapidly at present, our community is changing as a result of steady re‐development of existing areas and several major external projects. Delta’s Official Community Plan (OCP) helps us plan for and manage these changes and requires that we do so in a sustainable way. The Sustainable Development Plan will address how the municipality will direct, influence and promote climate change mitigation and adaptation in new development projects for all types of land uses. Specific targets for 2011 include the completion of development permit guidelines for the River Road East Eco‐Industrial Community Zone C and development of a Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP). Sustainable Development Plan Summary: Large and small developments can have an impact on the environment and on our community’s social fabric and quality of life. While Delta has been successful in working with developers of larger projects to employ high environmental standards, including those that can mitigate the effects of climate change, the intent of this plan is to better integrate these elements into all development projects. The plan will identify ways to reduce green‐ house gas (GHG) emissions from new development while ensuring other objectives continue to be met such as livability and affordability in residen‐ tial areas, business viability and community integration in commercial and mixed use areas, and employment and efficient movement of goods in in‐ dustrial areas. In 2011, Delta will embark on developing a CEEP that will Financial Implications: provide a framework to guide actions to reduce community energy con‐ sumption and emissions, improve energy efficiency and increase Delta’s Most of the actions identified in this plan are local energy supply.

Climate Change Initiative A Corporate Framework for Action 2011 Community Outreach and Education Plan Community Outreach and Education Plan Goals: The goal of the Community Outreach and Education Plan is to communicate Delta’s successes with the public and inspire similar actions within the broader community. The public are also invited to become informed and to participate in related climate ac‐ tion events. Staff will connect with residents and businesses through a series of public education and outreach programs. In 2011 discussing the social, environmental and economic benefits of mitigating and adapting to climate change will be completed. Community Outreach and Education Plan Summary: To mitigate the effects of climate change, staff will work towards influenc‐ ing everyday behaviour of residents, business owners and children through education and outreach programs. A suite of interactive and informative education programs, media and activities will be explored that captures the public’s attention and provides practical solutions. The plan will build upon the education and outreach initiatives already being undertaken in Delta. Examples of these initiatives include: ▪ Water Wise Education Team ▪ Keep Cool! Climate change play for elementary school children ▪ Climate Smart business training Financial Implications: Future Community Outreach and Education Actions: Climate Change Website: ▪ Website update and maintenance Public Outreach and Programs: ▪ Sustainable Gardening workshops; Earth Week; UBC‐CALP working group; environmental education ▪ Climate Smart program (2011) Educational School Programs: ▪ Various educational opportunities; Keep Cool!

Climate Change Initiative A Corporate Framework for Action 2011 Urban Forestry Management Plan Urban Forestry Management Goal: Our urban forests filter water, provide habitat, and improve local air quality. These forests include all trees growing individually, along streets, in groves, forests and woods as well as shrubs and ground cover. Staff continue to work towards regularly moni‐ toring urban forest composition and health. Establishing this knowledge base will assist in the management and succession of current and future urban tree stock. Urban Forestry Management Plan Summary: The Urban Forestry Management Plan proposes initiatives focused on the en‐ hancement and maintenance of urban forested spaces in Delta. The Plan will take inventory of Delta’s tree stocks, monitor change, and develop specific recommendations and plans that utilize existing and future urban tree stocks. The emphasis of the Plan will be on public lands while recognizing the impor‐ tant role private lands also play in urban forest ecology. Examples of efforts related to the Plan and already implemented include: ▪ Trees for Tomorrow planting program ▪ Working towards a 40% urban canopy cover goal in all three Delta communities ▪ Bylaw No. 6336 Delta Tree Cutting Regulation Bylaw Future Urban Forestry Management Actions: Delta Tree Inventory: Staff will continue to enhance urban tree canopy by planting trees. This will be done via: ▪ Engineering updating canopy coverage via orthophoto interpretation ▪ Trees for Tomorrow program ▪ Build upon success of the 20,100 trees by 2010 initiative Tree Planting and Preservation: ▪ Work with CP&D to promote tree planting and preservation on private property ▪ Establish partnerships with organizations and community groups to plant trees through the community Promoting the Urban Forestry Benefits: Educating the public about the benefits of urban trees is a key component of maintaining urban forest integrity. In 2011, staff will continue to use Delta’s website to promote various tree planting and protection initiatives and highlight the environmental benefits of trees in the community along with specific information relating to species and locations of trees that pro‐ vide the greatest benefits. Financial Implications: Delta Tree Inventory: ▪ Inventory upkeep and reporting Existing budget Promoting the Urban Forestry Benefits: ▪ Trees for tomorrow / tree planting $50,000 Potential Funding Opportunities: ▪ Green Streets Canada (Tree Canada Foundation) ▪ FCM’s Green Municipal Funds (Enabling Fund, Investment Fund & Infrastructure Fund) Department: Parks, Recreation & Culture (lead), CP&D and CAE (support), Engineering (operational role). Climate Change Initiative A Corporate Framework for Action 2011 Natural Areas Management Plan Natural Areas Management Plan Goal: Delta is one of the most ecologically diverse municipalities in the Lower Mainland. From Burns Bog to Cougar Creek to Boundary Bay, the Municipality of Delta is home to a wide range of birds, amphibians, fish, small mammals and plant species. It is imperative that this biodiversity is monitored and protected over time. In 2011, efforts will be made to sustain continued sup‐ port for multi‐year monitoring projects and to create decision making frameworks which will guide future action. Natural Areas Management Plan Summary: The Natural Areas Management Plan is intended to protect and preserve the ecological integrity of designated ecologically sensitive areas (ESA) as well as other natural areas like riparian areas found along major irrigation corridors and park land. Climate change will exert pressure on these areas that regulate ecosystem health and provide habitat for wildlife . The Plan will consider water and soil quality, vegetation and wildlife.

In recent years, the BC Government has embarked upon a number of initiatives to reduce GHG emissions in BC including: - Setting a target of a 33% reduction in total province-wide emissions by 2020 from 2007 levels. - Requiring all ministries and other public sector organizations (PSOs) to become carbon neutral beginning in 2010. - Requiring local governments to incorporate GHG reduction targets, and strategies to reach them, into their official community plans (OCPs) and Regional Growth Strategies (RGSs) through the Local Government (Green Communities) Statutes Amendment Act (Bill 27 – 2008). - Encouraging local governments to become proactive in achieving carbon neutrality in their corporate operations by becoming signatories to the Climate Action Charter. Signatories commit to achieving carbon neutrality in their local government operations beginning in 2012 through a combination of emission reductions and offsets. 1.2 Community and Corporate Emissions This inventory addresses the corporate operations consumption and emissions. Actions to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are frequently divided into the realm of: - Corporate emissions - those that the local government creates through its activities (and which it has control over) such as local government building operations, recreation centres, vehicle fleets, and utility services; and - Community emissions - those that the residents and businesses in the community create through their activities. The local government cannot directly control these, but may be able to influence through planning and program activities. Community emissions are not part of this inventory. 1.4 Carbon Neutrality Carbon neutrality means that the operation of the local government will result in no net greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. Carbon neutrality results from a combination of: - Reduction measures to reduce the GHG emissions from operations. This is accomplished through retrofits, efficiency initiatives, and behavioral change of staff; and - Carbon Offsets - which are reductions made by others - elsewhere in the community or province - through registered and reviewed projects that reduce GHG emissions. Owners of these offset projects may sell these ‘reduction credits’ to other parties that are working to neutralize their carbon footprint. GHG Emissions (tonnes CO2e per year) 600 Reductions Made 400 Offsets Required 200 0 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Year Emissions Getting to Carbon Neutral: Efficiency improvements will reduce the emissions from operated facilities. However, there will always be some emissions remaining, and these will be ‘neutralized’ through the purchase of offsets. Reductions Achieved 1.4 About this Inventory The inventory is completely based within this Excel spreadsheet with several Tabs. These store the raw data, process and synthesize the information, and then create a report. The spreadsheet contains four types of TABs - Reporting tabs, Data tabs (labeled 'D'), Synthesis tabs (labeled 'S'), and Spreadsheet Activation Tabs. FINAL 7/7/2011 Page 3 Corporate Operations Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory FINAL It is intended for users to be able to update their inventories themselves using this spreadsheet. Space has been provided for data entry and analysis up to 2012, and the accompanying Inventory Spreadsheet User Guide provides instructions on the use of this spreadsheet.

Each community offers different services, via a different mechanism to its residents. Counting the carbon footprint can be complicated because of how services are delivered and who’s ‘carbon balance sheet’ they might appear on. The Province, through a joint provincial-UBCM committee has developed a workbook of what to include when estimating the emissions included in the Climate Action Charter commitment. The workbook can be found at: http://www.toolkit.bc.ca/sites/default/files/Carbon%20Neutral%20Workbook%20v%202.pdf To ensure equity between communities, these are being defined around services that are considered to be “traditional municipal services”. Traditional services included in the inventories are: - Administration and governance Drinking, storm, and waste water Solid waste collection, transport and diversion Roads and traffic operations Arts, recreation, and cultural services Fire protection In the traditional services approach, the focus is on services funded by the local government – most specifically what service is delivered, and not on who delivers it. The expectation is that energy intensive contracted services will have to be included within community inventories (and thus tracked through contracts) from about 2012 onward. Local governments will be expected to define the emissions that occur from these services and they will form part of the inventory, which will need to be negated through the purchase of carbon offsets. Facilities owned and operated by other agencies that receive “Grant in Aid” funding from the local government are also not included in the operational profile or emissions inventory. It is currently not clear to what extent local governments will have responsibility over these emissions with respect to the Climate Action Charter requirements. 2.2 Approach to Inventory Data Collection p y the Climate Action Secretariat within the BC Ministry y of The p protocol documents are still under development by Environment. The data collection in this project aimed to cast a ‘wide net’ and capture as much information as possible. As the inventory guidance material is revised, there may be additions or deletions to this information. This inventory is grouped according to the operating units of the Corporation. 2.3 Estimating GHG Emissions from Consumption Data From an inventory of energy consumption, the greenhouse gas emissions are calculated by multiplying the consumption, by an emissions factor. For the combustion of fossil fuels, the emission factor represents the amount of CO2 created when burning that fuel (i.e. the “tailpipe” emissions), and depends primarily upon the type of fuel consumed (e.g. natural gas, gasoline, diesel, etc.) For the consumption of electricity, the GHG emission factor represents the amount of CO2 released to the atmosphere from the generation of the electricity. These emissions do not occur where the electricity is consumed, but rather elsewhere in the grid. The emissions factors do not account for the carbon released to extract, process, and deliver the fuel to the point of use – the “Carbon intensity” of the fuel.

Excluding Utilities, the Building electricity consumption actually reduced 1%. - 2010 total electricity consumption is 1% higher than 2009, and this relates to a 4% increase in building electricity consumption. Natural Gas - From 2005 to 2008, natural gas consumption increased each year by approximately 4%. - In 2009, there was a 3% drop in natural gas consumption. This is primarily due to a large drop in the Ladner Leisure Centre and Ladner Outdoor Pool NG consumption. A significant drop in consumption was also observed in Winskill Leisure Centre. - In 2010, there was a further 10% drop in natural gas consumption. This drop is primarily due to a large drop in consumption at the Sungod Recreation Centre. A further drop in consumption was also observed in Winskill Leisure Centre. Fleet Fuel - Gasoline consumption has remained steady from 2008 through 2010. In 2010 the Corporation switched almost all of the fire fleet to an Ethanol 10 Blend (E10) - this is approximately 8% of its total gasoline consumption. - The Corporation purchases almost all of its diesel as biodiesel (98.5% in 2010). There was an overall increase in diesel/biodiesel of 8% in 2010 compared to 2009. This increase is a result of increases in both the municipal and fire fleet consumption.

Despite being provided by another agent, the emissions from these activities are to be included in the local government inventory. As a guideline, if the local government is providing funding to a “traditional municipal service”, then it is likely to be included in the emissions inventory. The Corporation of Delta does not yet track the energy consumption or GHG emissions generated by services contracted to other organizations. This will be determined in a future inventory, as data becomes available. Contracted Services Service Provider Contact Contracted Services are not yet tracked by the Corporation of Delta Local Government Shared Facilities There are occasions where local governments support the independent operation of facilities by other organizations for the provision of "traditional services". Support can be in a number of forms including, but not necessarily limited to, service agreements and contracts, grants, rent free use of space, or land, and leased space. Facilities that are often affected include those related to fire protection, recreation and cultural services. Guidance from the Province of BC, regarding how to handle carbon responsibilities in these situations, is currently under development and is subject to change.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and so is included in some inventory protocols. The Climate Action Charter does not include the emissions from waste decomposition. However, some communities are members of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program. The protocol for that program includes quantification of the GHG emissions from solid waste decomposition.

FINAL 7/7/2011 Page 19 Corporate Operations Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory FINAL 6 Notes About this report This corporate energy and greenhouse gas inventory is the first step for local governments in developing corporate energy plans to meet their commitments under the Climate Action Charter. This includes becoming carbon neutral in their corporate operations. As part of this process, energy inventories have been compiled to develop actions to reduce their respective ‘carbon footprints’. General Notes to the Inventories [1] The protocols for defining the boundaries for the inventories are still under development and review by the Climate Action Secretariat of the Ministry of Environment. The required information may evolve as these protocols are further developed. [2] Energy costs cited in this report are estimates based on the energy consumption and typical retail fuel prices. These estimates do not reflect the various price categories that may apply or specific price features of different rate codes. This is an estimate and is not based on any review of actual utility invoices. [3] Costs for offsets are estimated assuming $25 per tonne of offsets and apply to purchased fossil fuels. Estimated CARIP rebates are based on the total applicable inventory (which includes electricity-related emissions) and are estimated at $30 per tonne carbon tax (as expected to become effective on July 1, 2012). [4] Emissions factors do not account for the carbon released to extract, process, and deliver the fuel to the point of use – the “Carbon intensity” of the fuel. There are however efforts under way in BC to reduce these ‘upstream’ emissions. Under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Renewable and Low Carbon Fuel Requirements) Act (Bill 16- 2008), the Province is aiming to reduce the carbon intensity of fuels by 10% by 2020. [5] The protocols for inventory compilation are under development through a joint working group of the Climate Action Secretariat (of the Ministry of Environment), and the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM). Further information is available at the “Toolkit” website (www.toolkit.bc.ca) and search for “carbon neutral government”. The draft protocol document is available at: www.toolkit.bc.ca/sites/default/files/Carbon%20Neutral%20Workbook%20Draft%20Final-1.pdf. [6] The current carbon neutrality guidance protocol indicates that facilities where the funding is shared between more than one local government (operations not capital) then the carbon footprint should also be shared. At present there is not complete guidance as to how this will apply to the range of shared services between regional districts, municipalities, and third parties that addresses the nature of service area, grant-in-aid, and other funding arrangements. Additionally, current budget systems may not allow for determination of the actual funding amounts. At present the carbon footprint of facilities is defined on the inventory of the local government most closely responsible for the utility bills (i.e. th the operator). thatt iin th the ffuture the protocol and or guidance the bill (i t ) It iis expected t d th t th t l will ill evolve l d provide id more options ti id ffor defining d fi i th relative share of carbon footprint carried by each player. The possibility exists that that some of the carbon footprint on this inventory will be allocated to another local government, or that a portion of tan inventory from another local government may be transferred to this inventory. Community Specific Notes: [1] -- Natural Gas data was discontinous in Fortis online records for various months in 2009 and 2010. The data was retrieved from a combination of the online system and manual lookup of bills kept by the municipality.

FINAL 7/7/2011 Page 20 ATTACHMENT D Delta’s Climate Action Council Report 2011 F.06 The Corporation of Delta COUNCIL REPORT Regular Meeting To: Mayor and Council From: Office of Climate Action & Environment Engineering Department Parks Recreation & Culture Department Finance Department Community Planning & Development Department Human Resources & Corporate Planning Department Date: November 30, 2011 2011 Climate Action Report The following report has been reviewed and endorsed by the Chief Administrative Officer. • RECOMMENDATION: THAT the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program report included as Attachment A be endorsed for submission to the Province and be shared with the public on Delta's website. • PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to provide Delta's Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program progress report to Council for endorsement. • BACKGROUND: Delta's Climate Change Initiative was initially approved by Council in July 2007 and has since been revised on an annual basis. Council endorsed the updated 2011 Climate Change Initiative in April 2011. Delta's Climate Change Initiative includes a goal of reducing corporate greenhouse gas emissions by 20% below 2007 levels by 2015. A greenhouse gas inventory was completed for the 2009 and 2010 calendar years and is discussed further in this report. In 2007, Delta signed the British Columbia Climate Action Charter, a non-binding memorandum of understanding where signatories agree to create complete and compact communities, measure and reduce community and corporate greenhouse gas emissions and become carbon neutral in corporate operations by 2012. r Page 2 of 5 2011 Climate Action Report • November 30, 2011 DISCUSSION: The British Columbia Climate Action Charter voluntarily commits local government to three goals: • • • become carbon neutral in civic corporate operations by 2012; measure and report on their community greenhouse gas emissions profile; and create complete, compact and more energy efficient communities. Those communities that have signed the Climate Action Charter are eligible to receive 100% of the carbon tax paid on natural gas and vehicle fuels as a rebate through the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program . One of the conditions of the rebate which will be applied for in February 2012, is that the local government reports publicly on its progress towards meeting the above goals of the Climate Action Charter by the end of 2011. Attachment A is the report in the form required by the Province. It is recommended that this report be submitted to the Province and be posted on Delta's website. Corporate Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions In following the provincial greenhouse gas emission inventory protocol, Delta's revised baseline for 2007 is 7,266 tonnes of C0 2 e. In 2010, actual greenhouse gas emissions were 6,783 tonnes of C0 2e, a 6.6% reduction from 2007 levels. Attachment B shows the annual emissions from 2007-2010 and a breakdown of 2010 emissions by sector and fuel type . Delta's corporate emissions are primarily associated with the municipal buildings and fleet. The following is a summary of climate actions achieved in 2011 and these actions are included in the report to the Province: Building Emission Reductions Delta has been conducting ongoing energy and greenhouse gas emission measures within Delta's buildings. These include lighting retrofits, low "e" ceiling installations, control upgrades and optimization, replacement of more efficient equipment through regular building lifecycle improvements and employee and operator awareness training . In early 2011, the Sungod Recreation Centre energy and emission reduction project was completed . The emission reductions from this project are estimated to be 466 tonnes of C0 2 e annually. Recent monthly utility consumption data from Sungod shows reductions greater than previously projected. A similar retrofit project at Ladner Leisure Centre is nearing completion. It is anticipated that this project will further reduce Delta's emissions by 350 tonnes annually. When these expected emission reductions from the major facility retrofit projects are realized , it is projected that the 2012 emissions will be approximately 18% below 2007 levels and approaching Delta's target of reducing emissions by 20% by 2015. Page 3 of 5 2011 Climate Action Report November 30, 2011 In conjunction with the North Delta Recreation Centre expansion project, a district energy system that can be sized to provide heating and cooling to multiple facilities within the Social Heart Civic Precinct is being investigated. A study is currently underway and staff will report back to Council with further details upon completion of this study. The Climate Change Working Group will continue to investigate new technologies and options to reduce emissions and provide recommendations for Council's consideration . Fleet Emission Reductions Fleet emission reductions to date have been a result of the implementation of Delta's Green Fleet Management Plan. Delta Fleet received Canada's first-ever Gold E3 Fleet rating for a municipal fleet from the Fraser Basin Council. Measures taken within Delta's fleet to reduce emissions include the use of biodiesel, ethanol blended gasoline, anti-idling policy and education, driver training, route planning, hybrid vehicles, and "right sizing" of vehicles to the specific application . For example, staff have recently analyzed the annual fuel consumption of ten hybrid Honda Civic vehicles compared to ten Chevrolet Cavaliers and found that on average the hybrid vehicles are producing 33% less emissions per kilometer travelled than the conventional vehicles. Further emission reductions are expected as Delta's Green Fleet Management Plan continues to be implemented with fleet turnover, vehicle right-sizing and continued investigation into new technologies and methods to reduce fleet emissions. Carbon Neutrality One of the voluntary commitments of the Climate Action Charter is to become carbon neutral in civic operations by 2012. The Province has released a draft Carbon Neutral Guidebook that provides guidance to local governments working towards carbon neutrality. Carbon neutrality means that emissions are reduced as much as possible and remaining emissions are balanced or offset through other measures. ( The opportunity to invest in local carbon reduction projects has been provided in the guidebook. However, as currently designed , the options presented have financial and technical challenges that result in very limited feasible opportunities for generating the quantity of offsets required to achieve carbon neutrality. As a result, the proposed framework is orientated towards the option of purchasing third-party carbon offsets. Third-party offsets are often invested outside of local communities and typically support greenhouse gas emission reduction in the private sector. The purchase of offsets is generally not supported for these reasons. Other Metro Vancouver municipalities have also noted similar issues with the Province's framework and the Metro Vancouver Regional Engineers Advisory Committee has sent recent correspondence to the Province and UBCM on this issue. A primary concern is that local governments should have the opportunity to use limited resources for climate Page 4 of 5 2011 Climate Action Report November 30, 2011 actions within their own communities instead of purchasing offsets from an outside provider. In response to issues raised, the Province has proposed a "making progress towards carbon neutrality" option which would permit local governments to make real reductions in corporate operations rather than purchasing outside carbon offsets. Local governments who choose to reduce greenhouse gases associated with corporate operations will not be "carbon neutral", will continue to be eligible for the carbon tax rebate and be considered compliant with the BC Climate Action Charter. The Province, through the Green Communities Committee, has committed to continue its work with municipalities on this subject. Formal reporting on progress towards carbon neutrality is not required until the 2012 report, and staff will be providing further information to Council on this subject. Community Climate Action The total greenhouse gas emissions for the community of Delta are approximately 100 times greater than the corporate emissions. Delta has already completed a number of initiatives to assist with reducing community greenhouse gas emissions that are noted in Attachment A. Renewable energy technologies including solar hot water and geoexchange systems have been incorporated into a number of new developments and retrofits within Delta. Recently a solar photovoltaic system was commissioned at Boundary Bay Airport. Delta has adopted the "solar ready regulation", implemented a Green Growth Index, supported community and school education programs, made regulatory amendments to remove barriers to the installation of renewable energy systems, constructed bike lanes, sidewalks, and other infrastructure to assist with the reduction of vehicle travel, thereby reducing emissions. Delta Council endorsed the development of a Community Energy and Emissions Plan that is currently underway which will identify additional opportunities to reduce community emissions. Staff will be providing a report to Council in early 2012 on this subject. I Implications: Financial Implications - Approximately $1.8 million has been invested in facility energy retrofits since 2007. It is anticipated that once all the currently funded measures are fully implemented , energy savings of approximately $220,000 annually will be realized . The estimated Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program rebate for 2011 is approximately $140,000. Council previously resolved that these funds be directed to a Climate Action Reserve Account that will be used to fund greenhouse gas reduction projects and also considered in conjunction with other capital projects approved by Council. Page 5 of 5 2011 Climate Action Report • November 30, 2011 CONCLUSION: Significant progress has been made towards meeting Delta's greenhouse gas reduction goals and work is continuing on future emission reduction projects. It is recommended that the attached report that is required for Delta's Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program be endorsed for submission to the Province and be posted on Delta's website.
