Municipal drains and dit dging
influences on fisl*abitat
EXETER - The issue' of
class authorization for
agricultural municipal
drains has been the sub-
ject of many discussions
around municipal coun-
cil tables.
To help answer these
questions, . the
Department of Fisheries
and Oceans (I O), in
cooperation with con-
servation authorities
have organized a series
of information sessions
across southwestern
Ontario. Locally, the
Ausable Bayfield
Conservation Authority
(ABCA) is hosting an
information day at the.
Parkhill Legion on
September 8.
The morning session,
from 9 a.m. to noon, will
provide insight into
striking a balance
between the need to
protect fish habitat and
the need for drainage to
agricultural lands.
Those attending will
receive information on
the Fisheries Act and
the Al3(:A's efforts to
classify municipal
drains for reviewing
potential works.
Municipal councillors or
planners as well as
drainage engineers,
superintendents and
contractor's are invited
to attend.
The afternoon session
from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30
p.m. will discuss the low
water levels over the
last couple of years and
the increased need for
dredging. Presentations
will be made detailing
the roles and responsi-
bilities for dredging pro-
posals and the impacts.
on adjacent fish habitat.
This information will be
of interest to landown-
ers, marina operators,
engineers and contrac-
tors.
Pre -registration is
required by calling the
ABCA at 519-235-2610:
There is no cost and
lunch will be provided.
