THE BRUSSELS POST, MARCH '21 1979 — 7 VCA can help .stop soil erosion BY CRAIG PIFER WATER RESOURCES TECHNICIAN It is estimated that soil erosion, defined"' as "The removal and transport of soil particles by water, wind, ice, or gravity", is responsible for an average loss of 63.1 tons of sediment per day in the Maitland River watershed. This figure increases to a startling average of 253 tons per day in the month of April as a result of spring runoff, Although soil erosion is a natural process, human activities have greatly accelerated the process. Many types of developmeht act to seal up the soil surface, thereby .increasing surface runoff and erosion.

The removal or Jack of vegetation cover, whether it results from urban development, or farming activities, exposes the soil to the erosive forces of nature. The effects, of erosion can be quite severe. Fertile topsoil necessary for food production can be lost at a rate that far exceeds the rate that soil is formed by natural processes. Erosion may result in the siltation of watercourses which can decrease the quality of fish habitat. Recent studies have shown that sediment freed by the erosion process acts as a WI sees cancer ded to hold a dessert euchre, Monddy April 2 at 7 p.m., in the library, with proceeds going 'to the Cancer Society.

In fact, between 40 and 80 percent of the 'total phosphorus load of watercourse may be associated with sediment. The remedial measures needed to counteract the effects of erosion can require large inputs of money, time, and labour, which in some cases, may make erosion control impractical, Since it can be very expensive to solve erosion problems after they have progressed, the obvious solution is to minimize the possiblility of problems arising in the first place. This can be done by using proper land management practices. Contour plowing, grassed waterways, windbreaks, and the maintenance of a vegetation strip between cultivated fields and watercourses are proven erosion control practices. Minimizing the time that soil is exposed to wind and water can also reduce erosion significantly. The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority is concerned about the loss of good agricultural land by soil erosion. Consequently, an erosion control assistance program has been initiated by the Conservation Authority for 1979 and is being promoted by the Soil and Crop Improvement. Association. Under the program any private landowner within, the Authority's - area of jurisdiction may apply for technical and financial assistance with 'an erosion problem. The Authority will contribute 50 percent of an erosion control project's cost pp to a maximum of $5,000. The actual work may be carried out by the Authority or by the landowner in consultation with Authority staff. The Authority will also offer advice to the landowner on land management practices in order to maintain.- the condition - of erosion control works and preVent further erosion. The erosion control assistance program is oriented, towards inland erosion problems and stresses practical solutions or approaches involving limited costs and minimal amounts of time, labour, equipment, and maintenance. Projects involving stream and ditchbank improvement, sheet and rill erosion problems, as well as the control of small gullies, may be eligible for technical and financial assistance from the Authority. A pilot project was undertaken by the Conservation Authority in 1978 on the farm of Mr. Jim Armstrong, and was used as an erosion control demonstration site during the 1978 International Plowing Match. At the site a gully was rehabilitated by grading and seeding the sideslopes and installing a series of check dams in the gully to reduce water velocity. Proper drain outlet erosion control and a grassed waterway were also part of the demonstration. Anyone interested in financial or free technical assistance with their erosion problem is encouraged to contact the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority at 335-3557.
