16 THE BRUSSELS POST, OCTOBER 24, 1979
PREPARING FOR A NEW FENCE — Earl Fyfe of Blyth was busy
ge, tting the ground ready for a new fence at the farm of Murray Scott as
part of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority's plan to solve an
erosion problem. Mr. Scott's cattle will now be in a new fenced-in area
and will be watering up near the barn instead of down by the Belgrave
creek where they had been causing the erosion.

the MNR said the Ministry's main objective
to provide a nursery habitat for the rainbow
trout and also a spawning ground for salmon
in the fall. The MNR is footing 100 per cent
of the cost.
At the farm owned by Ross Taylor, a
certain area around the creek will be fenced
in, and that's the only section that the cattle
will then be able to get their water from. The
MVCA will also be planting trees along the
edge of the Belgrave Creek, not only to
protect the soil from the direct impact of the
rain, but also provide shade that will
improve the value of the creek for fish. The
Authority will also be placing rocks in the
water where the stream current has caused
the greatest damage and it will be seeding
along the bank where there is minimum
amounts of erosion.
On the Scott property, a new kind of
watering system will be installed up near the,
barn so that the cattle no longer have to
water at the creek, and there will once again
be a fenced off area for the cattle. Next
spring the MVCA will be planting trees and
seeding along the edge of the banks of the
creek on Mr. Scott's property.
Mr. Scott commented that they had been
running the one area where there was a lot of
erosion as a feed lot and they realized it was
creating quite an erosion problem. The
MVCA suggested an alternate watering
system to the creek to Mr. Scott--a year
round water bowl which would be electrically
heated.

The Authority will be doing some reforest-
ing along some parts of the land.
"In the future, this will add value to the
property," Mr. Scott said.
He said the one problem he could see was
that when the stream was fixed up for better
fishing (by the MNR) it would bring more
people on to his property but that the MNR
said they would put a sign stating that
people could trespass only with the owner's
permission.
"I think it's a worthwhile project financ-
ially. I felt all along I shouldn't be watering
that many cattle out of the stream. I'm only
too happy to see that they're doing
something," he said.
Some of the negative effects of soil
erosion according to the MVCA are: the loss
of productive land (agricultural, recreational
etc.), the sedimentation of stream beds that
negatively affects fish populations--soil sedi-
ment carries pollutants such as phosphor-
ours, pesticides and organic compounds into
our water systems and sedimentation of
farm drains causes a damming effect that
inhibits run off.
Through the Authority's erosion control
program, free technical advice and assist-
ance with funding to 50 per cent of the cost
of remedial works (to a maximum of $5,000)
is made available for inland erosion control.
