SPC document to be discussed publically
EXETER — The Ausable Bayfield
Maitland Valley Source Protection
Committee (SPC) has completed a
draft version of their Proposed
Terms of Reference and will
hold a public meeting and
three public open houses to /
hear comments on the
document.
"The Terms of
Reference will serve
as a work plan to guide
the creation of local,
science -based plans to
protect sources of
municipal drinking
water," SPC chairman
Larry Brown.
The Terms of Reference document
outlines roles, responsibilities, time-
lines, costs and which municipal
drinking water systems will be
included in the Source Protection
Plans.
Completing the work plan will be
an important milestone for the local
committee as it's the first of three
major required documents. The
public is invited to review the docu-
ment and provide comments
through attendance at one of three
informal open houses in the region
or through scheduled presentations
at the formal public meeting in
Holmesville on May 28.
There are three main questions
members of the public should con-
sider as they review the document,
according to project manager Cathie
Brown: "Should the Source
Protection Committee or the munici-
pality take on a certain task? Are
the resources adequate? Is there a
residential drinking water system
in the document that should be
excluded or a system omitted
that should be included?"
Hard copies of the docu-
ment are available for
reading at local conserva-
tion authority offices and at
designated locations in
each of the six counties that
are part of the Ausable Bayfield
Maitland Valley Source Protection
Region.
The document is also available
online at
www. sourcewaterinfo. on. ca
Three public open houses will be
held in the coming weeks to help
residents learn about the Draft
Proposed Terms of Reference docu-
ment: Wingham (May 21), Parkhill
(May 22) and Varna (May 24).
Details on the upcoming open
houses and public meeting can be
found at www. sourcewaterinfo. on. ca
Written submissions on the Draft
Proposed Terms of Reference are
welcome until June 10 at 4 p.m.
Members of the public are also
encouraged to submit written com-
ments to: ABMV Source Protection
Region, c/o ABCA, 71108 Morrison
Line, RR#3 Exeter, Ont.
The formal public meeting will be
held May 28 at the White Carnation
Restaurant and Banquet Hall in
Holmesville.
Individuals or organization repre-
sentatives have the opportunity to
pre -schedule short presentations to
provide their comments to the
Source Protection Committee.

ule your time to speak at the public
meeting, phone Chris at 519-335-
