These plans outline policies that will come into effect Apr. 1. (Submitted photo) A local source protection committee for drinking water source protection has praised the Province of Ontario for approval of source protection plans for the Maitland Valley and Ausable Bayfield Source Protection Areas. "The policies in the new Source Protection Plans will reduce risk to local drinking water," said Laurence Brown, chairman of the Ausable Bayfield Maitland Valley Source Protection Committee (SPC). "The Plans will reduce this risk through a practical and local approach to manage threats in the most vulnerable areas of our region." The 15 community members on the committee, as well as liaisons, have worked hard for the past seven years to prepare terms of reference, assessment reports, and source protection plans, according to Brown. The plans provide policies to reduce risk to drinking water. There are 21 activities that may, in certain areas and certain circumstances, pose a threat to drinking water. Those activities include septic systems, home heating oil, farm use of pesticide, fertilizer and manure and chemical storage. The policies address activities in four types of vulnerable areas: wellhead protection areas (groundwater) around municipal wells; surface water intake protection zones; significant groundwater recharge areas; and highly vulnerable aquifers. People may find the maps of these areas by visiting www.sourcewaterinfo.on.ca. Threat activities may be low, moderate or significant. In this region, significant threats to drinking water are only found in wellhead protection areas (WHPAs). The policies in those relatively small vulnerable areas reduce risk by using tools ranging from education and outreach, to risk management plans, to restricted land uses to prohibition of some activities. There are fewer than 1,000 properties in the entire region where significant threats to drinking water could be present, according to Brown. There are fewer than 200 properties that will require risk management plans. People in the region can also protect water through positive actions in highly vulnerable aquifers (HVAs) and significant groundwater recharge areas (SGRAs). Plan policies for those areas include education and outreach. Landowners are not required to comply with policies in those areas but Brown said he hopes people will have regard for the plans' policies for moderate and low threats and voluntarily consider what positive actions they can take. The Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) posted the plan approval on the Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR) Registry on Jan. 22. The plans take effect on Apr. 1. The MOECC also approved Updated Assessment Reports for the Maitland Valley Woods site maintained by the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation.

Yes folks, your voting support has paid off big time — the camp was awarded the largest amount given out in the smaller category - $45,000! This will help us toward our goal of building four — winterized, accessible bunkhouses at the camp — we estimate that one bunkie will cost us $18,000 to construct. The winners were announced live on Canada AM on Tuesday morning with the program on location at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School in Cambridge. The school was the Broker Prize Winner of $100,000 for their idea of enhancing their community field to better meet the needs and interests of the community. I did note with good humor that Klahanie was spelled wrong on the big cheque they showed on TV! Hopefully that won't be the case when the real one arrives. In the grand scheme of things a minor detail.
