(Levesque Photo) Conduit, shoreline study major projects for MVCA The Listowel conduit and an engineering study of the shores of Lake Huron are the two major projects of the Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority in 1984. At MVCA's annual meet- • ing on Feb. 16, general man- ager Bryan Howard reported that the Town of Listowel has chosen to go ahead with re- construction of the, conduit under business premises on Wallace north. Engineering and con- struction costs for the pro- ject 'have been estimated at $495,000 for 1984. QVC:. has bud:eted $31,500 for an engineering study of the Lake Huron shores within the Maitland watershed. MVCA staff member 'Ian Deslaurier said the coastal ' engineering study will deter- , mine how much property is at risk from erosion and flooding, and how much it will cost to protect the shore- line. An additional $10,000 has been budgeted in connection with the Lake, Huron shore- line project. This, said Mr. Deslaurier, will be spent to inform the public of shore- line erosion. Mapping of • flooding lines and erosion lines ,was completed last year, and this information will be passed on to the homeowners and cottagers along the shore. The townships of 'Ashfield, Colborne and Goderich, the Town of Goderich and the County of Huron will share a special levy for these pro- jects. The Town of Goderich has yet to approve the spe- cial levy. The province will pick up 85' per cent of the cost of coastal engineering study and pay 90 per cent for the public information project. APPROVE BUDGET Municipalities in the Mait- land Valley watershed will be paying 5.7 per cent `more this year to the Conservation Authority. At . the annual meeting, get of $1,985,919, up from $1,058,777 last' year. • • The 32 member=munici= palities of MVCA will share the general levy of ' $177,830. This general levy is up from $168,230 in 1983. Construction and engin- eering costs for the Listowel conduitand $643.,977 for' special employment pro- grams account' for the large overall budget increase. -Special employment pro- g- rams include Summer Ex- perience and other projects such as work at the Brussels dam. MVCA secretary -treasur- er Marlene Shiell said that while, these progrmas are in- cluded in the budget, there is no guarantee that provincial or federal governments will approve the projects. • pp A breakdown of 'the bud- gets shows the' municipal levy makes up nine per cent of the budget. Special levies make up 4.6 per cent of the overall bud- get. Special levies are appli- ed against the benefitting municipality such as Lis- towel for the conduit project there. The total special levy expected in 1984 is $91,405. Provincial grants are bud- geted at $1,107,148 or 55.7 per cent of the entire budget. Federal •grants, under spe- cial employment programs, are budgeted at $525,530 or 26.5 per cent of the 1981 bud - get r • a r proved-a-4384-bud_L MVCA Budget Summary The remaining revenue of $83,200 is expected from con- servation areas operated by MVCA. This. represents 4.2 per cent of the revenue side of the budget. Water and related land management are the areas where the Authority expects to spend most of its money in 1984... A total of $909,986, or 45.8 per cent of the budget, is designated for these cate- gories, which include the Listowel conduit and the shoreline study. The administration portion of the water and related land management program totals $302,486.
