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. • `a) v -0, 6 6t P ;./.. ele, AN If ,the ?Sk w •
