Living snow fence
project considered
By Shawn Loughlin
The Citizen
A joint project between the west
region of the Ministry of
Transportation (MTO) and Huron
County is endeavouring to create
living snow fences throughout the
county.
James Corcoran, a senior
environmental planner with the
MTO, spoke to Huron County
Council at its March 15 committee
of the whole meeting about the
project and the advanced science
and research behind it.
Corcoran told councillors about
the drastic differences between areas
throughout the county and how
snow drifting and road conditions
can differ from kilometre to
kilometre based on wind patterns
and the structure of fields.
Warden Jim Ginn, who lives along
Highway 8 between Goderich and
Clinton, said he can see the vast
difference at his home farm. He lives
on a bend in the highway and road
conditions will differ dramatically
depending on which direction you
look from the house.
Corcoran said that the project is
aiming to calculate snow transport,
severity and priority, look for
priority areas in Huron County and
then the arrangement of tree
planting through the trouble spots.
He said that with living snow
fences planted in just the right spots,
the project could drastically improve
winter driving conditions.
He also said that incentives are
now being paid to landowners who
plant the snow fences. Initially,
Corcoran said, landowners were
simply having the trees they planted
paid for, but now the project will
compensate them for acreage they
take out of production to plant trees.
The compensation amount,
Corcoran said, is $500 per acre per
year for a five-year agreement
period. He said that agreements
would then be renewed in five-year
terms.
In order to calculate trouble areas,
Corcoran said the MTO has studied
wind patterns, snowfall figures and
fetch distances (which means the
distance the snow will travel in
different areas).
Through his findings, Corcoran
found that 16,490 metres of
highway is classified in the severe
category, which is the second-
highest, only below extreme (there
were zero metres of Huron County
roads judged to be in the extreme
category). The number of severe
metres is over three times higher
than the lower five categories: 5,090
metres of moderately severe roads,
3,400 metres of moderate roads, 675
metres of light -to -moderate roads,
350 metres of light roads and zero
metres of very light roads.
According to a map presented to
council at the March 15 meeting,
Corcoran said that many of the
priority areas, nearly half, are on
Highway 21 north of Goderich,
while other areas are scattered
among Highway 8 between
Goderich and Seaforth, Highway 4
south of Clinton and Highway 21
south of Bayfield.
Corcoran then explained the
typical tree -planting arrangement,
saying that depending on the land
being made available by the
landowner, several rows of trees will
be planted. Three rows of trees, he
said, would be ideal, but won't
necessarily be possible in all
instances.
Councillors were enthusiastic
about the project, saying that the
implementation of a consistent
living snow fence project could pay
off drastically in the categories of
both safety and financial, in terms of
snow removal savings.
Council
supports
Dutch -
Canadian
event
Continued from page 3
special celebration in Goderich to
mark Canada's 150th anniversary
this year.
The celebration, set for Saturday,
May 13 at Liberation Memorial
Park, will honour the 7,600 soldiers
that died in the drive to take back
Holland, which created a strong
bond between the two nations.
Nagle explained the event aims to
reconnect people with what
happened in Holland, saying most
don't know that the German forces
in Holland surrendered to the First
Canadian Army in 1945, which is
part of why the Dutch recognize the
efforts of Canadian soldiers and
Canadians are always welcomed in
the country.
As part of the event, the group is
petitioning to bring Princess
Margriet to the celebration. They
said they are optimistic in their
chances to have her at the
celebration.
The event will include a dinner,
parade and a concert.
Nagle and Rutledge explained
they were looking for $760 from
each municipality in Huron, a dime
for each soldier slain in the effort.
Councillor Bill Knott moved to
have the amount considered in
North Huron Council's budget
deliberations.
"I've been aware of this project
for awhile and I feel it's
worthwhile," Knott said, noting both
his grandfather and father served in
World Wars I and H respectively. "I
feel we should fully support this. It's
not a large amount of money, but I
believe it's worthwhile."
Knott went on to say that major
conflicts like the World Wars are
chronologically further and further
away every year and tangible
connections to the event are
diminishing every day.
"Children are forgetting," he said,
warning about the dangers of
repeating the past.
Council received the report and
will deal with the issue during its
budget deliberations.
