Th6 Ausable-13ayfiels1
Conservation Authority has
announced plans for a Major
flood plain study of the Port
Franks basin.
Resources 'manager Bill
IVIurigall said the $15,000
study will determine where
the Authority should
strictly adhere to its flood
plain regulations.
tMungallsaid Port Franks,
was a very complex problem
in terms of areas where
flooding was a threat to
human life and where
flooding would only cause an
economic loss.
He said the Authority
recognizes the complex
problem which exists in the
community situated on the
mouth of the Ausable. River
along Lake Huron and that
the study will attempt to
define the various areas.
Terming the study a top
priority, Mungall stated the
results of the study should be
known before September,
The flood plain study is the
first in a series of long range
plans that will attempt to
"get a handle" on the
flooding situation, he said.
In future years the
Authority will be conducting
an ice break-up study to
determine when, the ice
breaks up. Another study
will examine the silting of
the harbour,
Calling it "the most
complex flooding problem"
in south-western OntariO,
Mungall said there were two
primary reasons for the
flooding problem: the ice
jam situation on the Ausable
Compounded by the flow of
Mud Creed into the basin and
the continually eroding
sandy soil.
Mungall said he doubted if
there would ever be another
major attempt to diminish
the spring water flow as was
attempted in the early 1950's
following major floods in
1947 and 1948.
Floods of that intensity
take place roughly . every
thirty years, Mungall stated.
The Authority will be
developing a long range land
acquisition policy Mungall
told the T-A.
The purpose of the plan
will be to acquire lands in
such areas as Hay swamp
or Ausable gorge, which
contain "provincially
significant features."
Mungall noted that in the
case of Hay swamp it was
much cheaper to preserve
swamps as water storage
areas than to build dams.
In terms of the Authority's
flood plain guidelines which
were sent to municipalities
earlier in the year, ap-
pr ox t in a t el y 20
municipalities have ac-
cepted the guidelines which
suggest where buildings or
the dumping of fill should
not be allowed,
In other flood matters, the
village of Seaforth has
requested a flood control
study,
Mungall said if a storm of
Hurricane Hazel's intensity
hit the area, Seaforth could
suffer an estimated $500,000
in damage. The report will
suggest preventative
measures.
The Authority plans no
major development work
this year with the exception
of Zurich where washrooms,
a picnic pavilion, the
planting of trees and the
making of trails will take
place. Work of a remedial
nature will take place at the
Parkhill conservation area
and, at Rock Glen near
Arkona and at the Stewart
Gully erosion control project
in East Williams township.
