County project expands
to waste water systems
Huron County Council has
authorized some small changes to
the way it hands out funds through
the Huron Clean Water Project.
Rachel White, the county’s
stewardship co-ordinator and
biologist, spoke to council at its Jan.
2 meeting, proposing the changes.
She suggested the creation of a
new category: on-site waste water
systems, holding tanks and
composting toilets in place of the
former composting toilets and on-
site waste water inspections
category.
The Clean Water Project has been
funded by Huron County since 2005
as a grant program to assist farmers
and rural landowners in making
stewardship improvements on their
properties.
In 2018, White said, the project
funded 17 eligible applications,
which paid for up to 50 per cent of
the project costs, depending on the
category.
The new category will carry a
maximum payment of $2,000 at a
cost-share rate of 50 per cent with a
category limit of $40,000.
White said that the category
should be expanded to include the
replacement and repair of on-site
waste water systems. All systems,
however, must meet the
requirements of the Ontario
Building Code and be installed by a
licensed contractor.
The purpose of the new category
is to eliminate the contamination of
wells, surface and ground water by
assisting landowners with repairing
or replacing on-site waste water
systems or to install composting
toilets to reduce waste loading for an
existing on-site domestic water
system.
In order to be eligible, applicants
have to show a negative impact on
drinking water wells, ground water
or surface water and they cannot be
under a provincial or municipal
order to perform upgrades or repairs.
Existing categories include:
erosion control measures, rural
stormwater management and
wetland management plans, clean
water diversion, fragile land
retirement, livestock access
restriction, manure storage
decommission, community projects,
forest management plans and
woodlot enhancement, wellhead
protection, well decommissioning,
stewardship guide implementation,
cover crop incentive, living snow
fences, wellhead protection area
reforestation projects, wetland
restoration incentive program and
special projects.
For more information on the
Huron Clean Water Project, visit the
county’s website or the websites of
either the Maitland Valley of
Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Authorities.
