ARCA gives Lucan a manure flap update
By Craig Bradford
T -A Reporter
LUCAN - While not in their own
back yards,. Lucan council is con-
cerned about the huge hog opera-
tions that have been proposed for
their neighbors' back yards in- Bid-
dulph Township. .
' Lucan'co►uncil was given an up-
date on what's happening in Bid-
dulph Township with large scale-
hog operations and their' draft nutri-
ent management bylaw by Ausahle
Bayfield Conservation . Authority
general' manager Tom Profit and
Lucan-Biddulph board repre-
'sentative Teresa -Ondrejicka at last
week's meeting,
Biddulph has passed an interim .
moratorium On thi: establishment of
large hog operations till they can
• pass a nutrient management bylaw..
In a written report read aloud.
Ondrejicka said the ABCA has no
official position on the proposed
Biddulph bylaw at this,time.
"The board of directors and the
authority willfind themselves in
the position to develop'a statement
over the next few months.because
of the increased demand from pri-
vate citizens and . municipalities
alike for us'. to
have one,"' she
said.
She also said the
ABCA encourages
municipalities to
draft nutrient man:
agement plans but. reminds them
the ABCA has no ability to enforce
such (bylaws. The ABCA sees its
role as providing technical support
and education."One example of this
`is that Prout has attended a Bid-
dulph public. meeting on the issue;
and presented a series of studies
that would help as reference materi-
al for drafting a -bylaw. -
Prout said Biddulph council is
headed in the right direction.
"It's not a problem or issue that's
going to go away." he said. "it
sounds like (Biddulph council is)
talking about doing the right things.
Prout reminded Lucan coun-
cillors that the ABCA, has a vested
interest in the qual-
ity of water that
winds its way
through the wa-
tershed to Lake Hu -
ton and that the oth-
er major player, the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture;
Food • and Rural Affairs, is con-
cerned about issues .that affect
farmers. •'
• "Biddulph has . the challenge- of
blending those," he .said, adding
that both sides are "right" hut they
come from different viewpoints.
"In my opinion, 1
think agriculture
will see a major
revolution."
