DEVELOPMENT Township report now in hands ear of Min is try of the Environment decide against run -o system By JIM BROWN The Advance -Times Wayne Fear has decided against installing a dry manure run-off tank on his Morris Township farm. Fear was seeking' permission from township council last Tues- day evening to install the run-off tank on Lot 3, Concession 5. In or- der to install the tank, Fear would have to have his property re -zoned from restricted agriculture to spe- cial restricted agriculture. The purpose of the re -toning was to accommodate a smaller separation distance between the barn and the Belgrave Creek. Chief building official Paul Jo - sling said the separation distance would be 325 metres. The required separation" distance is 400 me- tres. Josling pointed out that if it wasn't for the cemetery, there would be no by-law required. • "The tank would be the required distance from Belgrave, but not far enough from the cemetery," he said. Although the Ministry- of the Environment and Energy, the Vil- lage of Blyth, and the Huron County Health Unit had no objec- tions to the re -zoning application a 117 -name petition against the ap- plication was presented to council. Because of the petition and the number of people opposed to the reduced separation distance in at- tendance at last Tuesday's council meeting, Fear decided not to pro- ceed with the installation of the, tank. - However, tie did not withdraw his application for re -zoning from council. During the meeting, Fear said that he was not going to proceed with the project which was initiat- ed by the Maitland Valley Conser- vation Authority. "The MVCA asked me to make the application, I did not asic them if I could," he said. Craig Metzger of the Huron County Planning Department said that with a reduced separation dis- tance there would be the chance for increased odor complaints. "Agriculture is the premier function of the township, accord- ing to the township's official plan," he said. Metzger said the MVCA was concerned about the possible envi- ronmental problems if the tank was not built. The petitioners opposed to the building of the tank were con- cerned that Fear would expand his hog operation. However, Fear said he would not increase his operation, and if anything would downsize his op- eration. • "I thought I would make for a better situation with the building of the tank," he said. "But, if the people don't want me to build it, I won't." "Everyone here don't want me to build it." Fear saidthat he would not change the size of feed lot or the barn. He said . the current by-law was in effect when he bought the land. ' • • • Councillor Keith Johnston said he was not in favor of building the tank se close to town. He said that it could be used for a liquid ma- nure system. Council deferred making a deci- sion until the Feb. 14 meeting. It was noted that if a given to the application, anyone opposed to the application would have a 20 -day period to appeal the decision. However, people appeal- ing the decision would have to pay a $125 fee. Continued from Frage 3 as did some drilled wells and others were found to be at risk. The soils were found to be quite porous. All in all, "We can't see a pat- tern," said Knight. "We can't con- clude that contamination is coming from septic effluent." Armed with the study results, the findings have been forwarded to the Ontario Ministry of Environ- ment and Energy for its comments, but to date, there has been no reply. Tumberry Reeve Brian McBur- ney said he would prefer to wait to have a public meeting to inform residents of the situation after coun- cil has received word back from the ministry. In order to satisfy the demand for future development and ensure the safety of Lower Town residen es, council may be forced to enact some special policies for the area. The planning department is pro- posing that:, - -- a pubic education program be designed to encourage proper de- sign, Use and maintenance of septic systems, promote water -saving de- vices and trfe importance of well in- spections; -- those wells from which the water did not meet Canadian Drink- ing Water Standards should be in- spected by the well inspector from the Ministry of Environment and Energy; -- a bylaw should be passed by the Township of Tumberry requir- ing septic systems be inspected and pumped out once every three years. Residents would be required to sub- mit a certificate with their taxes en- suring that this has been completed. If the certificate is not submitted, the township would have the au- thority to complete the inspection and add' the cost to the taxes; -- a bylaw should be passed by the township which regulates the expansion of existing development serviced by onsite septic systems based on appropriate percolation rates. r - As far as future development is concerned, the planning department suggests that applications be ac- companied by appropriate hydroge- ological studies which assess the impacts to groundwater and soil suitability of the proposed systems to the satisfaction of provincial guidelines. Knox Missionary Society Oaterr o essert meetingFivrenVi Ui VUU�I/ Also, storm -water management plans would be required for would- be developments. New developments serviced by individual subsurface septic sys- tems would be subject to a quality - assurance program for monitoring and maintenance of septic systems. Dug wells would not be permit- ted and industrial development would be limited to dry industries. Finally, it is suggested that the number of animal units allowed be reduced to four from the current 10 in the developmental zone. Council members agreed that conducting such extensive studies could become rather expensive for developers. "It depends how badly people wantto build there (in Lower Town)," said Deputy Reeve Mery Baker. Councillor Randy Foxton noted that some people might go through the entire process only to be told they can't develop their property. However, all agreed it is better than the status quo with no devel- opment of any sort allowed. Coun- cil is awaiting word from the envi- ronment ministry before proceeding. card GORRJE--Mrs. Anne Moir - ,Johnson served dessert before the meeting when the Women's Mis- sionary Society of Knox Church gathered at her home earlier this month.
