Lake shore property owners take note
EXETER - Although there may
not be cause for extreme concern,
Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Au-
thority is monitoring the current
water levels of- Lake Huron. Ac-
cording to Environment Canada,
Great Lakes water levels are ex-
pected to' be very high this spring
and summer. The last period of
high water levels on the Great
Lakes occurred in 1985-86 which
resulted in serious shoreline flood
and erosion damage.
This may have a severe impact
on the property owners of the
shoreline municipalities. The
ABCA will be providing the shore-

sue shoreline Flood Advisory
Bulletins and Flood Warning Bulle-
tins as required. The Flood Warn-
ing Bulletins will be issued when
water levels and wind speeds reach
a critical point.
One of the key mandates of the
Conservation Authorities is the im-
plementation of the various aspects
of the provincial shoreline manage-
ment program at the field level. In
the past this included carrying out
preventative, protective and emer-
gency response programs such as:
hazard mapping, developing and
maintaining pertinent flood, ero-
sion, dynamic beach and shoreline
rivironmental monitoring databas-
es, the preparation of shoreline
management plans, remedial
works, acquisition, flood and storm
warning, and public information
and education activities.
The responsibility for the implc-'
mentation of these guidelines was
given to the Conservation Authori-
ties as a result of the high lake lev-
els in 1985-1986. This recognizes
the local knowledge, interests and
concerns of each Conservation Au-
thority along the • different shore-
