Grants available to landowners
to solve erosion problems
The Parkhill Creek watershed area is to receive additional funding for projects
Robert Traut
Senior Technician, ABCA
EXETER - The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) has
grants to help landowners deal with minor erosion problems on lands adja-
cent to watercourses or to complete projects for the purpose of reducing
soil erosion, sedimentation or other related detrimental effects on water-
courses.
Due to water quality concerns of Bosanquet, Parkhill, Grand Bend, Ste-
phen and McGillivray, and the relation between erosion, sedimentation
and poor water quality, the Erosion Control Assistance Program (ECAP)
of the ABCA is specifically targeting, these areas in the watershed of the
Parkhill Creek with additional funding over and above the watershed -wide
FCAP. Benefits will be realized by landowners participating in the pro-
gram by completing projects to control erosion, as well as by residents of
downstream municipalities due to long-term improvements in water quali-
ty.
Where more than one option for erosion control can be used, the grant
paid will be based on 50 percent of the most cost/beneficial option. The
most cost/beneficial option will be determined by considering the nature
of the erosion problem, value of the resources to be protected, availability
of erosion control materials, access to the site, and effectiveness of the
proposed project vs. required protection.
Due to implications of the Environmental Assessment Act, maximum
project cost must be less than $ 16,500. -
A plan or description of the erosion control project must be approved as
an ECAP project by ABCA staff prior to installation to be considered eli-
gible for grant assistance.
When funding is limited or the number of projects exceeds the funding
available, projects will be ranked on a priority system that will consider
the cost/benefit of the project. Benefits of the project may include the pro-
tection afforded to structures, properties, or the improvement in water
quality derived from the project. Projects will be approved in order of
those which provide the greatest benefit at the least cost.
Where grant funding is available through other programs or agencies,
and the applicant qualifies for same, the ABCA may decide that any or all
eligible costs will be applied to the other program. As a general rule, the
ABCA will not fund projects if other grant funding sources are readily
available to the applicant - regardless of the relative percent of grant avail-
able.
Soil in a watercourse destroys aquatic habitats, alters the composition of
aquatic environments, and decreases channel capacity. Erosion and sedi-
mentation processes usually result in the transport of chemically active
fine particles and organic matter while leaving coarser material behind.
The fine clay particles and organic matter can concentrate nitrogen, phds-
phorous, potash, bacteria and heavy metals. Soil particles can also carry
herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. All of these materials have serious
short and long-term effects on aquatic ecosystems and the organisms (in-
cluding humans) that depend on them.
If you are interested in applying for a grant through the Erosion Control
Assistance Program, please call Robert Traut at the ABCA (519-235-
2610). Program brochures are available at the municipal offices of Grand
Bend, Bosanquet, Parkhill, Stephen and McGillivray which are participat-
ing in this project.

Hire a student
Gary Wilson is keen to go to work
Meet Gary Wilson. As a resident of Exeter, Gary has just completed
grade 11 at South Huron District High School where his favourite
courses of study ranged from English to Math, and included Communi-
cations and Drafting. Like many other students, Gary is out of school
for the summer and is looking for a job.
Every homeowner knows that there are certain chores around the
house that are harder to get to than others. One possible solution to this
problem is to hire a student to help out with those numerous tasks. It
just so happens that odd jobs are Gary's specialty. Included on his list
of work experiences are stone picking, lawn mowing, trimming, and
snow shovelling. As well, Gary has done some janitorial work at the
Rec Centre. He posc@sses many valuable carpentry skills, and in his
spare time, Gary enjoys rollerblading and working with computers. He
has made himself familiar with both Wordperfect and Microsoft Word.
Although he ultimately hopes to
become an architect, Gary is will-
ing to work at just about anything
for the summer and would gladly
continue working part-time in the
fall. He is available to start imme-
diately, and would welcome the
opportunity to put his skills to
work for you.
U you have a job for Gary or
for any other students, pkase
contact the Canada Employment
Centre for Students in Clinton,
open Monday to Friday from
8:30 to 4:30.
f f you area student looking for
work, stop by the Student Employment Centre at South Huron DNS
and fill out a registration card. The centre is open Tuesdays, Thurs-
days and Fridays 8:30 to 4:30.

When Canadian pioneers
came to the Red River
Valley they found hand-
written signs in the mud
that read, "Choose your
rut carefully. You'll be in
it for the next fifty miles".
When you choose central
air conditioning,be sure to
buy a brand you trust, and
have it installed by com-

expertise and equipment
necessary to do the job
right.
You're going to be stuck
with it for 20 years.
