In September a grassed waterway measuring an average 340 metres in length by 12 metres in width was constructed on the farm of Ken Oliver of Lobo Township. Oliver's grassed waterway was constructed through the Conservation Authority's Conservation Services Pro- gram and thus qualified for an 85 percent grant. Conservation Authority engineering staff first surveyed Oliver's property and designed the waterway to handle a volume of water that would be associated with heavy rainfall. Next a local contractor was hired to con- tract a shallow channel of suf- ficient size and shape to ac- commodate the flow of water in the channel. The surface of the newly constructed channel was then roughed -up and seeded with a mixture of red fescue and trefoil, with a cover of winter wheat. A rock chute which provides erosion protection at the outlet of the grassed waterway completed the project. In October, two grassed waterways measuring 500m x 700m x 11m were constructed on the farm of Mark Bell of Stanley Township. In Bell's case, construction of the grassed waterways followed the same procedure as Oliver's except that the con- struction work was done by A.B.C.A. staff and a grader and operator leased from Stanley Township. John Schwindt, Conserva- tion Services Coordinator says, "The three grassed waterways will help to control soil erosion by better distributing the flow of water across the fields and controll- ing the transport of sediments through maintainance of a vegetable cover." Th grass covering the waterway should be taken off as hay 2 to 3 times per year. The Conservation Authori- ty is also currently helping several area land -owners with the design of berms. Like grassed waterways, berms prevent soil erosion by reduc- ing the speed and erosive force of flowing water. The berms are designed to cause a slight ponding of the water and are used in conjunction with a drop -tube inlet. The droptube inlet enables the water to be drained off quick- ly and without causing erosion. Schwindt says "we would like to be doing more of these types of projects because they are so beneficial in terms of less soil erosion and better water quality. And it's not just the guy who does the pro - NEW GRADER — Stephen township has purchased a new John Deere grader.

T -A photo Vehicles need inspection sticker New rules for propane After Dec. 31, it will be il- legal i -,t Ontario to fuel or drive an Ontario -licensed pro- pane vehicle not displaying a windshield sticker indicating its fuel system has been in- spected and meets govern- ment safety standards. The inspections are part of a new propane motor vehicle safety program introduced by the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations in co- operation with the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munication (MTC). The in- spections are mandatory under the Highway traffic act and the Energy Act. "Propane vehicles first ap- peared in Ontario about four years ago. Their safety record has been relatively good - but we have en- countered a few problems. These inspections will help ensure that all vehicle fuel systemshave been properly in- stalled and maintained," said Dr. Robert Elgie, Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations. There are now more than 50,000 propane vehicles and approximately 1,400 propane filling stations in Ontario. identified vehicle owners and filling station operators have been notified in writing of the new program and provided with additional information on the safe handling of pro- pane. Most propane vehicles in the province are part of commercial fleets. Vehicles may only be in- spected by certificed staff at stations licensed by MTC. Propane conversion centres and filling stations across the province have been invited to apply to MTC for a licence to inspect propane -fuelled vehicles. More than 1,000 propane system installers, licensed by the Consumer Ministry's Fuels Safety Branch, have successfully completed a training course at communi- ty colleges to qualify for the required inspector certificate. Licensed inspection sta- tions are free to set their own fee for the inspection and con- sumers are advised to shop around. MT(' regional vehicle inspection offices will have in- formation on inspection sta- tions in their area. The inspection is man- datory for vehicles that have had their fuel system con- verted to propane and also for vehicles in which a propane fuel system is original equip- ment. however, because vehicle manufacturers are re- quired to comply with federal installation standards, new vehicle propane fuel systems will be checked for wear and tear, leaks and damage only. Any person filling an uninspected vehicle with pro- pane after December 31 is liable to aline of up to $10,000 or up to one year in jail, or both, upon conviction. Anyone driving a propane -fuelled vehicle after that date without the appropriate sticker is liable to a fine of up to $200. A poster will be prominently displayed at propane filling stations warning drivers that their vehicle must display a propane inspection sticker in order to obtain fuel. Also among testing pro- cedures set out in the regula- tions passed by the Ontario legislature on August 14 were changes to the standards governing propane vehicle fuel system equipment and in- stallation. These new stan- dards call for special vapor - tight enclosures over fuel tanks and fittings installed in- side vehicles; improved, permeation -resistant fuel hoses and pressure testing of all newly installed fuel systems. The characteristics of pro- pane make it imperative that all vehicle fuel systems are free of leaks and other defects. Propane is stored in a vehicle's fuel system under pressure in a liquid state. 1f released, it rapidly turns in- to a heavier-than-air vapor that may collect in low areas or inside the vehicle. The smallest spark or flame may result in a flash fire. "Propane has already pro- ved its worth as a viable alter- native to gasoline in motor vehicles." said Dr. Elgie. "Now it's up to the industry , vehicle owners and the government to make sure every vehicle meets the re- quired standards. This is a goal that serves everyone's best interests." Copies of the brochure, Pro- pane Motor Vehicle Safety: What You Should Know and an MTC leaflet on the inspec- tion program are available from the Consumer Informa- tion Centre, Ministry of Con- sumer and Commercial Rela- tions, 555 Younge Street, Main Floor, Toronto, Ontario M7A 2H6, (416) 963-1111. ject who benefits. Improved water quality helps us all, from the farmer downstream whose cattle drink it, to the people using the beaches at Bayfield, Grand Bend and Port Franks. Unfortunately, right now budget constraints prevent us from doing more than a few projects a year." Farmers do have another potential source of financial assistance in the form of OMAF's Soil Conservation and Environmental Assistance Program. The Conservation Authority is prepared to provide the technical assistance to people applying through the OMAF program. Schwindt notes that struc- tural erosion control projects, like berms and grassed waterways, are often only half of the solution to soil and erosion problems. He says, "Farmers should also be con- sidering non-structural measures like conservation tillage, conservation cropping and tree planting. You should look at the total picture on your farm and look at what combination of measures will work best for you."

Hog producers who were enrolled in the program dur- ing period nine will receive the registration forms for the tenth period in the mail. The registration fee is $10.00 per sow minus any positive balance in the producer's ac- count as shown on the registration form. Previously eligible pro- ducers (with at least four sows, but not enrolled) and producers who withdrew may enroll in period ten at 60 per cent eligibility. That is, 60 per ' cent of the sows enrolled would be eligible for any future payment. New pro- ducers who did not have four or more eligible sows in any previous period may enroll. If there is a future payout, the new producer is eligible for payment on 100 per cent of his sows.
