Extraordinary rainfall over the Dec. 27-28, 2008 weekend caused a portion of the embankment next to the Bayfield River to collapse and the county has been monitoring the situation ever since. "Unfortunately, it's not stopping. We've lost another 10 feet as well as some trees," Sandy McLean told Hu- ron County councilors at their Aug. 5 committee of the whole meeting. McLean said the collapse is slowly encroaching towards the paved road- way. In December the upper edge was 50 feet from the roadway and since then another 10 feet has given way. He said a new road access to the east parking lots at the Jacob Memo- rial Building and the facilities ware- house might have to be built. "The worse case scenario is we'll have to move our road. We have a lot of trucks coming it. the back area of the site and there is cause for con- cern," said McLean. While McLean said the county's consultant engineer visited the site and recommended that $4,000 be spent to drill 50 -foot bore holes before determining remedial construction measures, Coun. Bill Siemon (Huron East) asked why McLean had not ap- plied to the Ausable Bayfield Conser- vation Authority for a $5,000 grant through the Clean Water Project. "Seepage from a watermain or tile is causing it so I wonder why you didn't apply for the grant. You don't want the $5,000 - is that it?" he asked. Siemon added that if McLean had applied for _ the grant, the engineer- ing costs could be covered by the grant. McLean responded that he hasn't applied for the grant because he's not yet sure what the remedial ac- tion should be. "It's not the case that I don't want the money but I don't know what we need to do yet," he said. Coun. Neil Vincent (North Huron) pointed out that the county is going to spend money one way or another in response to the problem. "If the land is moving back and there's water in there, doing nothing is not an option," he said. Coun. Bert Dykstra (Central Hu- ron) said he'd like to see the county working with the conservation au- thority on the problem. "By next spring, we'll lose another 30 to 40 feet. It can be saved but we need to take action immediately," he said. Coun. Ben Van Diepenbeek (ACW) suggested that an immediate appli- cation to the Clean Water program could possibly see the engineering costs paid for retroactively. "We need to move forward and at least get an application in," he said. 1,1 [. c: O , $ t r.1 I ♦ a. c. a11r•ratw0rrr 911111r4‘.41ggliff oQ For Sale, Trade, Rent to Buy, V.T.B., O.A.C.
