Coalition names co-ordinator The Huron County Surface Water Quality Coalition (HCSWQC) has announced the appointment of Terri Cox as program co-ordinator. Cox is an environmental engineering technologist and has recently returned from China where she managed and facilitated a Canadian-led. multi-agency development project which partnered a Canadian College with two Chinese institutions. The Coalition is a non-profit, community based organization that brings together the combined efforts of concerned citizens and organizations who want to improve surface water quality and includes representation from the Ministry of Environment, OMAFRA, the Ausable-Bayfield and Maitland Valley Conservation Authorities, the Huron County Health Units, the HFEC, and various municipalities and cottage associations, among others. Key to the success of the Coalition is community support, co-operation and input. The HCSWQC continues to build upon the work of other non-profit, community based organizations, namely the Huron Farm Environmental Coalition (HFEC) which is credited with commissioning a 1999 surface water quality study for which it collected and evaluated local water quality data, and SOL-VE (Save our Lake - Value Environment), the organization responsible for an extensive 1997 study of Huron County water quality. The studies provided a combined total of more than 18 major recommendations for action that are now being formally addressed by the established working committees of the HCSWQC. Action plans are being developed in the areas of Education/ Communications, Research, Watershed Planning, Funding and Incentives, and Environmental Watch and Mediation, in an effort to develop a sustainable “Made in Huron” solution to water quality problems . Collectively, the members of the HCSWQC can carry out solutions to improve surface water quality, thereby reducing water-borne diseases which affect human and animal health, degrade recreational waters and adversely impact the local economy.
