Bayfield River (Tuckersmith Township) Erosion Control Project This project which began on November 10, will correct an erosion problem on a bend in the Bayfield River about one quarter of a mile upstream of the Clinton Conservation Area. Two landowners requested the work but about five properties will receive some protection. Alec Scott, Water Resources Co-ordinator with the ABCA described the construction. "The river undercut the 16 metre high bank on the outside of the bend, so we are moving the river channel away from the bottom of the bank and filling in the old channel", said Mr. Scott. "We are protecting a portion of the outside bank with rock rip rap to seal off the area where the river used to flow." Lavis Construction Co. Ltd. of Clinton and George Radford Construction Co.
