Summary of
_.the Ottawa Valley
The 'Ottawa Valley is located
in Eastern Ontario with some
parts extending into Quebec,
The valley extends from. East
Hawkesbury to the Temiskaming
Lake. The most productive area
of the valley • contains' the'
Counties of Renfrew, Lanark,
Carleton, :-Prescott ':anti
covering an area of 5,995 square
miles' and containing about
579,359 -people. The youthful
Ottawa River forms the Eastern
-boundary of the Quebec -Ontario
border for some 360 miles, as
well as running through the
vane itself. It also is the master
stream which. controls local
drainage. The valley it mostly
underlain by Paleozoic sediment
with some Precambrian rock to
the North. Because this lowland
area was once submerged in the.
glacial Champlain Lake, the area
is now above a sand and clay,
plain. The soils of this area are?'
the dark; grey gieisolic soils.
Although ` not the best soil,
artificial drainage makes it
better. Natural vegetation here is
part of the Great Lakes -St.
Lawrence, y=wh'ich consists of
white ',end red pine, spruce,
yellow birch and maple: •
• The climate here is classed _
under a tumid comtinerrtal' -�-
r cool Summer, no dry season
Average January temperatures
''run about 10 degrees,' while July
temperatures are about 65
degrees. Rainfall averages around
30" to 34".
All above • mentioned,
combine to make Agriculture
generally favourable in ' this
region. As a part of the Eastern
dairy bel"tPthe main Agricultural,„
pursuit is that' Of the production
of fodder crops for the dairy and
beef cattle of the- region.
'Dairying is particularly
"important•and almost tw .thirds
of Ontario's cheddar • eheese
itself. Also "there ' are many
sawmills located within.
region, mostly. in Renfrew
County, Other wood -using
industries' include furniture,
doors; and plywood.
Milling in this area consists of
structural materials; sand, gray,el,
limestone and magnesium , These
are not really of . major
significance compared to the rest
of Ontario, but they are
important within the region:,
The availability of
• i'nexpensive power, an efficient
transportation system,
proximity to large- Canadian and
U.S. markets, skilled labour and
an abundance of raw materials
make the Ottawa Valley a good
manufacturing `centre. Printing
and publishing, textiles, dairy
products and non-ferrous metals
are among the more prominent
_products prodii4ed in the area.
e
The Ottawa Valley has a great
selection of energy sources. It
has several hydro -electric
generating stations and is the site
of . Canada's first atomic plant,
Chalk River, for the generation
of, electricity.......iron? nuclear
power. There, is h. natural gas
pipeline 'from Alberta, while
Nova Scotia and the U.S. are
principal sources of coal. Wood
is obtained locally;
Transportation services are by
.the.., ,, main No. 17 East-West
Highway, the C.N.R.,
three airlines operating in
Ottawa City, and a vast number
"Of highways within the• 'region.
The Bell Telephone
,Company, many post offices,
three radio stations, two
television stations and many
daily newspapers, combine to
make " .a. good system ---"of
communication within ' the
region.
The Ottawa Valley is a
favorite vacation area for many
travellers.` Our nation's 'capital,
Ottawa, is probably the major
attraction, with' its historic sites
and museums.
WgterMnd sewage problem
prevalent in Huron County; ;
In common with many other
areas- experiencing urbanization
arid . expansion of municipal
seryiees, many municipalities
within the, county of Huron are
facing probleths' of adequate
water supply and, sewage
disposal facilities, according to
the ' $58,000 official plan
prepared for Huron county..
This problem ' has been
gra�t,,�r�Lrkkuw y inesed.,
cutting and elifninrtibb
woodlots . resulting in " an
increased rate of run-off,
thereby lowering the storage
capacity of groend water and 'in
reduced stream flows. Both of
these -results adversely affect
the capability of streams to
accept.. sanitary :sewage effluent,
due to the reduced capacity for
dilution of effluent.
T Lake Huron shoreline is
being ° eveloped at a_ rapid rate
ass'a private cottage complex. In
most cases, facilities for water
supply and sewage disposal, are
minimal.
Recent trends „to ' more
intensified agricultural
operations also compound the
problem of ' adequate sewage
disposal and preservation of
safe sources of water supply.
Disposal of industrial wastes has
not been a major problem to
` date except in a few isolated
instances;
SEWAGE DISPOSAL
' 'FACILITIES
4
Of the 26 ,municipalities in,
the county of Huron, only the
five larger towns have municipal
sewage treatment facilities. The
remaining municipalities make
extensive use of septic tank
systems.
Of approximately 2,800
cottages along the Lake Huron
shoreline, most rely on septic
tanks, cesspools or similar
devices for sewage disposal;
Further intensive development
along the lakefront will require
a -'careful review and assessment
of. the problem of sewage
disposal. Because of the
increasing .number of prof leets..
encountered with septic tank
systems, 'there is an increasing
need • to specify. larger lot siies
for septic tank installations.
,Recent trends indicate ' a
.xequi.rement. _for. ,a _.m.inimui i. lot_
size of from 1 to 2 acres
depending upon soil conditions
where municipalpiped water is
not available. Similarly, where
municipal water is available
minimum recommended lot- size
is 0.5 acre.
Alternatively it may be-
necessary to resort to collection,
and haul je to suitable
disptanks'osal areas or facilities.
A survey of existing,sanitary

The Ottawa Valley is very
unique in that it has many things

accepting additional effluent
may be a limiting factor in the
growth potential of a number
of centres. '
WATER SUPPLY
Most of the areas within the
County - obtain 'water , from,
ground sources., rich ,as„drilled
or artesian wells, or aquifers.
La.lm,x H.urQn,: supplies
regmmunities —P-e)ose-.Ipiv, -the'
Lakeshore.
In general, water supplies are
adequate for current and the.
foreseeable needs of the area.
The quality of water,, in some
instances, may s require
treatment ,to reduce hardness
and eliminate ,colour and odour.
ESTIMATE FOR
GROWTH POTENTIAL
During- the study period prior
to this Plan it was found, .and
reported - 4n Technical Report
No. 2 that each of the. various
Tow�tis and Villages had ' a
growth potential dependent
upon the amount of land ' and
.the condition of the murticipal
services. The estimate was based
on overall consideration 'of

improvemeop nts- as recommended
by Consultants 'retained by the
various Municipalities.,
Determination of growth
potential was based on current
criteria. for acceptable standards
for pollution „control. It was
recognized that ''advanced
technology- and. techniques will
increase the 'capacity cif existing
and future' plants to handle ,
sewage. . However, if ia-r,
4 e-Apeet—t ,t in.
part, the increased capacity 'will
be taken up by the demand for,
increasingly, higher standards of
pollution control.
In summary, it was found
that the towns of Goderich and
Wingharn have existing capacity
for ; , growth. - After' proposed
improvements are made Clinton
°-will have a, substantial capacity
for growth.
It should be noted that the
`Village of Bayfield is situated
near both an adequate water
supply and receiving stream and
oh, this basis has the potential
for considerable growth ' and
development.
lluron Park has capacity for
future growth but industrial
development may well use part
of this capacity.
Water supply and sanitary”
sewage disposal facilities have a
great beaking on where and how
much development will. take
place. The capacity of receiving
streams •( to .accept additional'
effluent are no less a restricting
factor. '
'Most t of the smaller een, ties
have a particular -problem in
,dealing with pollution of water
supply , sources frbm' deficient
or ` over( oatlecl,,,,l t> .
' installations and inadequate
'facilities for dealing with
industrial arid agricultural
wastes. Major capital
expenditures and increased
costs will be „ incurred if a
comprehensive , program for
preservation of , water supply
sources' and pollution control
measures is to be undertaken.
The necessary public works
for growth are referred to in
the summary' tables below and
are •included here to relate the
necessary municipal services
required to, accommodate 'the
population potential of this
Plan.
