MVCA studies Harriston floodplain problem areas The Harriston Remedial Measures Study, undertaken by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority to investigate ways of decreasing the floodplain, is nearing completion. Marlene Schiell of ,Listowel, secretary -treasurer of • the Authority, said the draft report from the engineers is expected shortly and the Authority will dis- cuss it with members of Harris - ton council on Nov. 19 at a meet- ing in Wroxeter. Two-thirds of the Town of Harriston is considered to be in floodplain area. Much of the town is built on very low land and a short conduit conducts the north branch of the Maitland through a portion of the town.. ' "A real problem in .the town is a mobile home park," Mrs. Shiell said. "It gets hit with flooding' quite regularly." In its periodical newsletter, the Authority noted a number of other projects which it had com- pleted or is undertaking. The Authority recently ac- quired the water rights for the Bluevale Dam and pond and copies of the Bluevale Dam restoration report have been re- ceived and are on file at. the Wroxeter office. Tree applications for this year reforestation extension program now stand at 50,000 trees, up substantially from last year's amount of 43,000. In this area trees will be planted along Highway 86, west of Listowel in Wallace Township and on land along the Elma-Grey boundary sideroad in Elma Township. The Authority has also com- pleted the planting of school yard arboretums for two schools and now has a request from another school. Elementary students at Turn - berry Central School near Wing - ham and at the Grey Township School at Ethel were introduced to proper mechanical and hand planting techniques as they planted 200 trees, including 35 different species. Wallace Public School near., Gowanstown has re- quested an arboretum as well. The arboretums will serve as study areas for future lessons. Developmet) plans have been completed for a new camping area at the Falls Reserve Con- servation Area near Benmiller which will double the number of site available. Some of the work will be done this fall to accommodate 79 addi- tional campsites supplied with water and hydro outlets. It is expected the project will be com- pleted in 1976 thus bringing the total number of campsites to 150 at the Falls Reserve. Mapping and proposed deve- lopment plans have been drawn up by the Authority's resources manager and resources techni- cian for a park area for the Village of I.ucknow. Iaucknow is presently outside of the Maitland 'watershed but is in an area which the Authority hopes to expand to -cover. The tentative plan far the park will be with Lucknow Mune l in the near future.
