This phenomenon is partly due to the fact that early settlers selected these locations to facilitate transportation, water supply and sewage disposal. Ontario rivers have well defined seasonal patterns, Most floods occur in the spring caused by a combination of the following factors: snow melt, prolonged rain and ice jams. Severe thunderstorms and hurricane type precipitation can cause serious flooding conditions during the summer and fall, Most corrective measures in the past have consisted of the construction of dams, dykes, and the initiating of channel im- provements to protect structures in the flood plain, It has only been in recent years that the annual flooding of rivers has come to be regarded as a natural part of the river regime, and that the flood plain serves to carry these flows. Several years ago a number of member municipalities requested the Authority's assistance in determining flood plain and fill line areas, for use in their official plans and zoning by- laws. The Authority subsequently approved a project to map the entire area under its jurisdiction to permit the establishment of regulations under Section 27(e) and (f) of the Conservation Authorities Act R.S.O. 1973. These regulations give the Conservation Authority the power to: (e) prohibit or regulate the construction of any building or structure in or on a pond or swamp or in any area susceptible to flooding during a regional storm. ( ft prohibit or regulate the placing or dumping of fill of any kind in any defined part of the area over which the Authority has jurisdiction, in which, in the opinion of the Authority, the control of flooding or pollution or the conservation of land may be affected by the placing or dumping of fill. The project consists of preparing two types of mapping — one for the urban areas and one for the rural areas. In urban areas, where development close to a water- course presents a major flood control problem, the mapping consists of detailed contour maps showing flood line areas which are susceptible to flooding during a "regional storm". This map- ping also shows a fill line. The fill line is based on the topography, present and future development, present and future channel requirements, and .on source areas. In a relatively flat valley or flood plain, the "fill line", if on a water course, will be an ap- proximation of the location of the "regional storm" flood line. Where valley slopes are steep, the "fill line" will be set back from the top of these slopes to permit control of filling' and development over the entire area, "Fill lines" can also be placed around waterholding areas such as swamps (which are natural flood control mechanisms) and around source areas (which feed the streams and rivers), In the rural township areas, pressures for development ad- jacent to watercourses or other hazard areas such as swamps and steep banks are not as great, but any proposal for development in these areas needs to be carefully examined so their ef- fect on flooding, pollution, and general land conservation can be assessed. The mapping in rural areas, therefore, is not as detailed, and since it does not involve the complicated flood line calculations or the determination of contours, it is not as expensive. What is shown on the maps is a "till line". Once the floodplain and fill line regulations arc registered, any person interested in development of a river corridor must apply to the Authority for a permit, If no adverse effects are likely to result, and the proposal is not within the floodplain, a permit will normally be granted, If adverse effects are likely, and cannot be overcome by changes to or alterations in the proposal, then a permit would be refused, but not until the applicant has been granted a hearing before the Authority's executive committee to state his case. A refusal from the Authority executive can be appealed to the Ministry Of Natural Resources.

MacLeren Limited of London, They have completed the proposed "fill line mapping" for twelve of the municipalities in the Authority and are close to completion of the proposed floodplain --- fill line mapping for six of the urban areas. Mapping of the remaining fourteen municipalities will be completed by the end of 1976. Educational Opportunites These courses are sponsored by the Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation Authority at their Claremont and Albion Hills Conservation Field Centres. Courses are for four weeks, Monday to Friday. Contact Deana Young at the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority (Box 459, Exeter, telephone 235-2610) for further information.
