The report also recommended that the Maitland Authority assesses the effects of agriculture drainage on flood peaks and investigate potential advantages and disadvantages of delaying runoff from agriculture drains.

The report suggested that check dams or flow control structures that would provide runoff storage could be effective in reducing the peak flow in the Nine Mile River, below Willough- by Street. . The report recommended that the Maitland Authority consider acquiring lands along Dickies Creek between Havelock and Willoughby Streets to maintain existing natural environment and, in conjunction with floodline regulations, reduce the potential for future flood damages. The wooded area along stream makes this section of the Creek naturally attractive and provides a good fisheries habitat. Development in this area will result in future flood damages and detract from the - existing natural environment said the report. The report also suggested that the existing Mill Pond dam be repaired to reduce the potential of a washout and downstream flooding. Mr. Hicks observed the poor state of repair the dam is in, during his on site . in- vestigations in the village. When discussing the improvements to the Ackert drain, Councillor Ab Murray noted that flood proofing may be a solution for some businesses near the- main street conduit. He com- mented that Gordon Fisher who lives on Campbell Street just east of the conduit has a plug he screws into the drain in his basement floor and sand bags which he uses to prevent flooding. "He knows the situation," ;aid, Murray, "He has lived there almost all his life. He prepares for it and has never been flooded." • CONTINUED FROM P. 1 indicate that the Ackert Drain does not flow into Lucknow, it would be possible to make a presentation of these facts to the board and have the name changed. In case we did not know, the tributary running into the Mill Pond is Dickies Creek.
