Township at Biddulph public Notice Proposed Change In Renulatory Flood Standard Recent changes in provincial floodplain management policies provide an option to allow municipalities and the local Conserva- tion Authority to reduce the level of the regulatory flood stan- dard. The Upper Thames River Conservation Authority and the Township of Biddulph are considering, along with other munici- palities in the Upper Thames River Watershed, a reduction of the regulatory flood standard to one based on the historical 1937 Flood, in this region. The use of this standard on the Upper Thames River and its tributaries will result in some variation, re- duction, in the definition of the floodplain in some areas. This proposed variation in some floodplain areas provides a more realistic flood protection standard but continues to restrict devel- opment in the most hazardous region of the floodplain, nearest the river or creek. To effect this change the Township of Biddulph, and the Con- servation Authority must consider the views and opinions of the local residents. Interested persons are asked to express their opinions or concerns verbally or in writing, on or before March 31, 1988 to the: Upper Thames River Conservation Authority P.O. Box 6278, Station "D" London, Onjario N5W 5S1 (519) 451-2800 For additional information please contact: Bill J.
