Crumbing dully being watched
Spring runoff may be its biggest problem, agrees council
PORT BLAKE - Stephen Township will be
watching a crumbling bank carefully over the
winter and next spring to see if measures can
be taken to prevent its erosion.
The Kingsmere North Gully is just south of
the Port Blake Conservation Area in the most
northern cottage subdivision in Stephen Town-
ship on the lakeshore. A municipally -owned
roadway comes to an end at the point where
the erosion is taking its toll.
Township drainage superintendent Ken
Pickering warned township council that the
area poses an erosion problem at their last
meeting. Council agreed to defer any decision
on what to do with the problem until the im-
pact of spring runoff can be assessed.
r'I guess we should take a look at it before it
gets bad," said township administrator Larry
Brown.
Since the gully is mostly protected from the
lake, it is believed erosion may be caused by
drainage run-off.
There is one cottage fairly close to the gully,
but not yet in any danger from the advancing
bank top.
Brown said stopping the bank's erosion may
be more an issue of prevention, than re-
inforcement. Improving the drainage may be
the best solution.
"Maybe that's what we need," said Brown.
Erosion on a gully north of Grand Bend has Stephen Township giv-
ing it a watchful eye, with a hope some solutions wi!l be found for it
next year.
