ABC A offers erosion assistance
The Erosion Control Assistance
Program (ECAP) is a grant
program available through the
Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Authority. This assistance is
offered to anyone owning lands
(within the watershed) showing
minor erosion problems which are
causing water quality degradation.
The financial assistance is subject
to conditions found on the
application form.
The conservation authority
provides grants for approved
erosion control projects when no
other assistance programs are
available. Grants apply to projects
which have total costs of $16,500
Schools take
interest in
Jr. Achieve.
The North Huron Education
Committee has launched a
campaign to generate greater
awareness of Junior Achievement
in North Huron schools. As a result
of these efforts, eight North Huron
elementary and separate schools are
interested in taking part in the
program.
Junior Achievement works with
teachers to bring business people
into the classroom to share their
practical experience with students.
The program promotes entrepre
neurship and free enterprise by
offering "hands on" role modelling
and business education. All funding
to support Junior Achievement
programs comes from the local
business community.
Denise Wikins-Trcblc, a member
of the North Huron Education
Committee, is pleased by the
response from local schools. "Il is
important that our youth have an
opportunity to benefit from the
same business education programs
offered to other students for many
years. Junior Achievement is one
way of encouraging our young
people to consider becoming the

of $70.75. Six cows consigned by
or less. The landowners are
required to pay for the project and
will be reimbursed 50 per cent of
the least cost option for the project.
This means that the grant will be
based on the least expensive, yet
adequate method of reducing the
soil erosion.
Also, for the first year following
the project completion, the ABCA
will provide a grant for mainten
ance work at the same rate as the
project. However, need for this
service is usually quite minimal.
Up until the past couple of years,
grants have not been available due
to lack of funds. In spite of this,
Robert Traut, the advisor for this
program, provided landowners with
technical assistance - surveying,
designing, supervising construc
tion, and inspecting the final
product - free of charge. Now that
there are grants available, Mr.
Traut will still provide technical
assistance to landowners who
qualify for the grant assistance.
An interesting project completed
by the ECAP program can be seen
in Biddulph Township. A culvert
pipe underneath a road, empties its
contents into a catch basin on the
west side of the road. However, the

catch basin often couldn't take the
water fast enough. Water ran across
the field and into a ditch creating
several erosion problems. The
landowner applied to the ABCA for
erosion control assistance. A design
was prepare for the project and it
was approved by Mr. Traut.
Then a contractor constructed
rock chutes with rocks that were
already at the site. A grassed
waterway was constructed where
the water ran across the fields. One
rock chute directs the excess water
onto this grassed waterway.
Because the area is now covered
in grass erosion has been greatly
reduced. As well a second chute
was constructed at the end of the
grassed waterway directing water
into the ditch. By making these
changes, the loss of topsoil due to
erosion has been virtually
eliminated.
If you are having an erosion
problem on your land, contact
Robert Traut at the ABCA's
administration office at 235-2610.
Please remember to fill out an
application and have your design
approved by Mr. Traut before
beginning construction if you wish
to receive grant assistance.

Washouts could lead to tractors
