Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority
Considers Flood Control
Darn At Listowel
1i April 1.970 the Mankind Val-
ley Conservation Authority under-
took a study of the Upper Middle .
Maitland Water$hed. The study
was to assess the surface water
resources of that portion of the
watershed lying upstream of the
Aiighway No. 23 crossing of the:
Middle Maitland River.
The study was initiated by all
agricultural land drainage probe
leer in the Waliace-Marybormigh
Townline area.
While simple land drainage
problem, it would hare done noth-
ing but aggravate the flooding
conditions which are known to
exist at Listowel. It was shown by
calculation that land drainage
without supplementary i'lood con-
trol could increase the peak flood
discharge as touch as fifteen per-
cent.
Flooding, and the damage re-
sulting Prow flooding, is not new
to the citizens Of Listowel. How-
ever, since the last serious flood
occurred in 1918 when 41/2 feet of
water covered Main Street, it was
felt advisable to assess that data
under todays development.
A$ a means of assessing the
potential damage from such a
flood in 1971, a survey was under,.
taken. This survey indicated that.
recurrence of the 1948 flood would
cause 81,560,000 in direct damages
in the Town of Listowel.
The magnitude of the potential
damage indicates the nesessity
for providing flood control.
In order to provide improved
land drainage for the agricultural
community While preventing fur-
thee aggravation of flooding at
Listowel, a flood retarding reser-
Voir was recommended.
Examination of the watershed
resulted in the recoininendation
that a dam be constructed at a
Point just upstream Of the eastern
boundary of ListeweI.
The Middle Maitland Dam
would be an earth fill dam with a
concrete gravity spillway. Over-
all length of the ram Would be
660 feet with a maxim= height
of 17 feet. Behind the dam, the
Middle Maitland Reservoir would
extend one mile p the ma in.
:Stxeamn into Wallace Township
terming a lake with a surface
area of 190 acres.
Although the dam would he
primarily used for flood control,
it would also provide a multi-
purpose reservoir which could be
used for recreational purposes and
for low floW augmentation.
This stagy is only one of the
numerous projects Undertaken by
the Maitland 'Valley Conservation
Autherity in solving the natural
resource probleins of the water-
shed.
