Erosion control project starts this Wednesday GRAND BEND - The ABCA has secured grants from the province to install erosion protection for one home at the end of Sauble Road in Grand Bend. A study done in 1989 concluded that the property re- quired some form of protection be- cause of the ongoing erosion along the banks of the Ausable River. If erosion was allowed to continue unchecked, the building on top of the bank would be in danger. Cur- rently, the house is only 20 feet from the top of the actively -eroding bank. Warwick Equipment Limited of Stratford will complete the project by installing a steel sheet pile wall. The sheet pile option was chosen for three reasons. 1. The wall will stop the erosion at the toe of the slope and support 'he bank. 2. The bank is so steep that there is little space to work with; the sheet pile wall was the best option in the available area. 3. This option was the most eco- nomical based on the available space and expected life of the steel sheet piling. The project will begin Wednes- day, September 20 with the end of October as the target date for com- pletion of the work. The project will affect boat traffic to an extent since a barge will be used to install the wall. A navigable channel, however, will always be main- tained. The $121,000 project will be funded as follows; 50 per cent pro- vincial grant; 45 per cent from the Village of Grant Bend and the ef- fected landowner; and five per cent from the ABCA general levy.
