Doing nothing about it
Federation says land washed away
Good farmland is being washed
down the river and there isn't any
government body doing anything
about it, members of the Huron
Federation of Agriculture were
told Thursday night.
"Conservation Authorities
were set up for river flood control
and erosion control and those are
the two things they are not doing
much about," Norman
Alexander, Hullett ditch com-
missioner, told the 15 members
present.
Mr. Alexander, who has
studied erosion problems since
his retirement in 1974 from his
Londesboro, seed cleaning
businesssaidgovernment
overnment
departments are too fragmented
to deal with the problem. There is
no single agency responsible for
erosion in Ontario, he said.
One ministry does not know
what information the other has
collected. The ministry of
Agriculture wasn't even aware of
river sediment studies carried
out by the Ministry of the
Environment until he showed
them the information, Mr.
Alexander said.
These studies show the
sediment load in area rivers
increasing dramatically. The
Ausable river which drains 334
square miles had an average
daily suspended sediment load of
106 tons in 1970. By 1975 this
amount had jumped to 228 tons.
The Maitland river which
drains 680 square miles has a
much smaller suspended
sediment load. In 1970 the river
carried 33 tons per day and in
1974, 45 tons per day.
The sediment carried from
farmland is very costly as it
blocks rivers and causes
flooding, Mr. Alexander said.
"Erosion is costing thousands
of dollars. The Federation of
Agriculture should get a
knowledgeable committee and
find out what is happening," he
said.
Mr. Alexander presented the
Federation with recom-
mendations he had given the
Ontario Government earlier in
the day at a conference in Lon-
don.
Demonstration models should
be set up in the county showing
tile mouth protection and rip -rap
spillways at the end of municipal
and private tile.
Velocity reducing methods for
water existing from culverts
should be demonstrated in the
county, along with seeded
waterways over tile and fords
across ditches and creeks, Mr.
Alexander said.
Provisions should be made to
train back -hoe operators in
drainage installation andrePair
repair,
so that they would be available as
sub -contractors for hire by ditch
and tile contractors. Tile in-
stallers and ditch contractors
should be trained in rip -rap
construction, and other erosion
control measures, he felt.
Bulletins on erosion control
should be made available to

The only bulletin available was
compiled 17 years ago, he said.
"Somewhere within our
ministries we need trained soil
conservationists like they have in
the Soil Conservation Service in
the United States. Some con-
sulting engineering firms have no
trained soil conservationists on
their staffs," he said.
After a brief discussion
Federation members decided to
refer the matter to the land use
committee to draw up a
resolution.
