Bayfield has been chosen as the ex- perimental site for the use of this new type of erosion protection. This is the, first time that "wavebusters" will have been used in Ontario and both the provincial and federal governments have shown interest in follow- ing this project. "Wavebusters" were introduced to Bayfield council earlier this spring by Coun- cillors Jim Quick'and Cliff Freeman. Cur- rently in use in Munro and Lexington; Michigan, in Florida and in Chicago, the "the wavebusters" are new on the market. Councillors Quick and Freeman reported to council that 'the concept and method work behind the "wavebusters" was impressive. "Wavebusters" are concrete forms that . work to create a sandbar area. Water flows through the grill system of "wavebusters" and sand and siltremain behind. One hundred feet of "wavebusters" have been donated to Bayfield • by Diemert Custom Backhoe. The contracting firm wants to use the Bayfield project as a model, in hopes of doing more work of this type. "We're getting a $20,000 project at no cost to the village," Councillor Quick said in recommending the go-ahead of the work. Council accepted the donation, with the ,notation that in taking the offer, the 'municipality is in no way placedin a com- promise position with Diemert Custom Backhoe. Before work can actually begin, approval . must be given by the Ministry of Natural Resources. They, among other things, re- quire surveys, 'specifications and a $250 ad- ministration fee. As well the ministry re- quires that the municipality state that it will °be responsible for the maintenance of the • "wavebusters.''' The "wavebusters" will be placed in ap- proximately four feet of water in the area that runs between the Al'Galbraith property and the Pioneer Park area.
