Recommended 20 years ago
Dam opening this Friday
advances in technology, brought
about by Hurricane Hazel's
devastation, had raised the level
of design requirements.
Therefore, the hydrology of the
entire Parkhill Creek drainage
basin had to be completely
reviewed. — Result —
Engineering and construction
costs rose and a new functional
report had to be prepared.
Oct. 1963 — M. M. Dillon,
Ltd. presented a new functional
report to the Authority. Due to
increased costs, negotiations had
to be re-opened with all levels of
government, federal, provincial
and local.
In 1964 Professor D. Clough
presented a new cost benefit
study which again recommended
construction of the dam. New
farm land cleared since 1959 in
the Klondyke area downstream
resulted in maintaining a
favourable cost-benefit ration
even in the light of the increased
costs of the Parkhill Dam.
1964-65 — Participating
municipalities would .not agree
to increasing the Authority's
share in the project (originally
25% of the total cost) beyond
$210,000, - -
The cost of the dam was now
estimated at over $2,000,000
and the Federal and Provincial
Governments were not ready to
,agree to shoulder such a large

THEN YOU FLIP HIM
THEN YOU TIE HIM
The Honourable George A.
Kerr, Q.C., Ontario Minister of
Energy and Resources
Management, will be in Parkhill
on Friday, September 5 to
officially open the Parkhill Dam
and Reservoir.
Also in attendance will be the
Honourable Charles S.
MacNaughton, Ontario Treasurer
and Minister of Economics and
the Honourable William Stewart,
Ontario Minister of Agriculture
and Food.
Robert Stanbury, M.P.,
Parliamentary Secretary to the
Secretary of State and James
Lind, area M.P., will speak on
behalf of the Government of
Canada.
This project was constructed
by the Ausable River
Conservation Authority with the
financial assistance of the
Governments of Canada and
Ontario. A plaque
commemorating the occasion
will be unveiled.
Trees naming the
twenty-three municipalities in
the Ausable watershed will be
planted surrounding the plaque.
Preceding the 2:00 o'clock
ceremony a parade of area
school children will march to the
site, led by the Starlette
Strutters of St. Marys.
The general public is cordially
invited to join with the
Authority members in marking
this memorable occasion.
The Parkhill Dam, located at
the northern limits of the Town
of Parkhill on Highway 81, is the
first major flood control
structure to be built by the
Ausable River Conservation
Authority. This also represents
the completion of the third in a
series of complementary flood
control measures recommended
in the 1949 Ausable Valley
Conservation Report.
The first was the Channel
Improvement Scheme in the
vicinity of Port Frank completed
in 1954 and the second was the
construction of the Morrison
Dam near Exeter completed in
1958.
The Parkhill Dam actually
consists of two separate earthfill
structures, the larger North Dam
located across the valley of the
main Parkhill Creek, and the
South Dam, which contains the
spillway and control structure,
situated on a tributary stream.
In view of the available
storage this reservoir was
designed as a multiple-purpose
unit in accordance with the
preSent philosophy of resource
management.
Its primary purpose is the
control of moderate flooding
both in the Town of Parkhill,
where flooding has occurred
almost annually in the past, and
in the reclaimed lands of the
valuable Klondyke market
gardening area downstream,
There will also be a decrease
in damage resulting from floods
that would normally be termed
of devastating magnitude and
which might occur only once
every 100 years. Provision has
also been made for low flow
discharge to augment the
Summer flow of the Parkhill
Creek. The reservoir can be used
to provide an emergency water
supply for the Town of Parkhill.
For many people the most
obvious benefit will be the
creation of an attractive
water-oriented conservation
area. A long-range development
plan for the 1,900 acres of the
Parkhill Lake Conservation Area
has been prepared and work is
now proceeding according to the
phasing schedule laid out in the
plan. Ultimately the area will be
open for year round use, with
facilities to be provided for
many Winter sports as well as for
a full range of Summer activities.
HISTORY OF PARKHILL DAM
1949 — The project was
originally recommended in the
1949 Ausable Valley
Conservation Report issued by
the then Department of Planning
and Development of Ontario.
1957 — The Ausable
Authority initiated the project
by authorizing M. M. Dillon,
Ltd. to prepare a preliminary
engineering study.
1959 — A favourable
cost-benefit analysis was
received by the Authority from
Professor Donald J. Clough of
the University of Toronto.
1960 — Scheme was accepted
by Federal and Provincial
governments.
June 1961 — Project delayed
due to objections to method of
levying the Authority share of
the cost. — Result that
engineering activity suspended
pending Ontario Municipal
Board approval of Authority's
basis of levy.
May 1962 — 0. M. B. hearing
took place re: review of
apportionment of costs to
member municipalities.
Sept. 1962 — O. M. B. upheld
the Authority's basis of levy. By
September 1962 after many
delays, the original 1958
Functional Report was
outdated. The reason was that
percentage of the total cost of
the project.
May 1966 — Approval was
received from the Agricultural
Rehabilitation and Development
Agreement (A.R.D.A.) Under
this agreement the Ausable
Authority paid a fixed portion
of the cost of constructing the
Parkhill Dam and the balance
was financed with A.R.D.A.
assistance. The Ontario
Department of Highways also
agreed to pay a portion of the
cost as the construction of this
dam removed the necessity of
building a new bridge over
Parkhill Creek and straightening
Highway No. 81.
Spring 1967 — Contract let
June 1967 — Sod turning and
construction began
July 1969 — Final
Engineering Inspection and
completion of construction.
