Water source committee seeks to fill vacant seats
A local source protection authority
has issued a notice calling for
applications to fill three vacant seats
on a committee that is protecting
municipal sources of drinking water.
The Ausable Bayfield Maitland
Valley Drinking Water Source
Protection Committee (SPC) is a 15 -
member committee in addition to the
chair committee. The committee
reduces risk to drinking water in the
Maitland Valley and Ausable
Bayfield source protection areas.
The SPC does this by putting into
action locally developed and
provincially approved source
protection plans. The Ausable
Bayfield Source Protection
Authority (SPA), on behalf of the
source protection region, is seeking
applications from individuals to fill
two vacant committee seats from the
Economic — Agriculture sector and
one vacancy for a committee
member from the Other —
Environmental public interest sector.
The source protection authority
issued the call for applications on
Aug. 15. Applications (cover letter
and resume), with position title
clearly marked, are to be submitted
by Monday, Sept. 25, 2017 by 4 p.m.
local time to be considered. For a
summary of member obligations, job
description, and full posting visit:
www.sourcewaterinfo.on.ca. After
the closing of the application period,
the source protection authority will
then interview a short list of
candidates.
Source Protection Committee
Chair Matt Pearson said a committee
member's work is interesting and
important. "We have benefitted from
the expertise, knowledge and
commitment of our past and current
members," he said. "We have three
committee seats that are vacant at
this time. We are looking for strong
candidates to take on these vital
roles as committee members." It's
important to find the right people
who can bring their knowledge and
questions to the table, according to
Pearson. "This helps to improve the
work we do to implement, monitor,
and update policies that are reducing
risk to our local drinking water," he
said. "It helps to keep our drinking
water safe and clean, starting at the
source."
The Ausable Bayfield Maitland
Valley Source Protection Committee
was Ontario's first. The Ausable
Bayfield Maitland Valley SPC has
worked since 2007 to create local
terms of reference, assessment
reports, and source protection plans.
This work is made possible by the
Ontario Clean Water Act, 2006. The
Province of Ontario approved the
locally developed plans on Jan. 19,
2015 and the plans took effect on
April 1, 2015. The source protection
plans include policies to address 21
activities that can pose a threat to
municipal drinking water sources in
certain circumstances (for example,
in certain locations such as
municipal wellhead protection areas
and in certain quantities).
The make-up of the committee is
shaped by the source protection
committee regulation (Ontario
Regulation 288/07) and by a local
process that took place to decide
how to include diverse voices at the
committee table. One third of the
committee is from municipalities.
One third of the committee (five
members) comes from economic
sectors. Locally, three of those five
economic member seats are from
agriculture and the other two are
from industry and commerce,
including tourism. The other
third of the committee represents
Other — Environmental, Health,
Obituaries
and other interests of the general
public (including property
owner association representation;
public representation from the
two source protection areas;
and environmental sector
representatives).
