New iluro
By Alan'Rivett
Dennis Merrall; of London, an engineer
with Middlesex County for the past 10
years, was hired as the—new county
engineer for Huron County at the meeting
on January 8.
Mr. Merrall, 38, who served as the depu-
ty engineer in Middlesex County, will of-
ficially start his duties with the county on
January 22 for. a probationary period, of
one year at a starting salary of $52,000 per
._.yeatL.
"It will be my pleasure an honor to serv-
ed as thea county engineer. Before I ac-
cepted the county's offer, I talked to a long
list of people about the reputation of Huron
County and discovered the county has a
reputation for having a good roads system
and a good roads department. I'll do my
best to build on that good reputation," said
Mr. Merrell in a brief statement to eouncil
last Thursday. .
At a meeting of the Huron County Roads
Committee on December 12, Tuckersmith
Reeve. Robert Bell, the 1986 chairman of
the committee, said the position had -been
offered -to another candidate who subse-
quently refused the position. It was then of-
fere'd to Mr. Merrall, who was reluctant to
move to the area unless a starting salary
of $52,000 was made available. He also re-
quested that a day be set aside to review
the policy and operation of ,the . roads
department with the former engineer:
The newly -hired engineer takes over
from former county engineer R.A (Bob)
ngineer .Tared
Dennis Merrall
Dempsey who resigned from the position
to accept a position in Woodstock late last
• year.
Mr •Merrall expects to move to the area.
aftertthe school year from London where
he lives with his wife and two teenage
daughters.
De! 'letion f
oxygen in
la yes studied
The Ontario Ministry of the Environment
has awarded a contract for $64,300 to Beak
Consultants Ltd, to study oxygen depletion
in inland lakes, Envirgnment Minister Jim
Bradley announced recently.
The --.two year. -study will roncentrate on `
lakes affected by recreational, urban, and
agricultural activities. Typically, these ac-
tivities in a lake's watershed result in the
addition of phosphorus and nitrogen -based
nutrients to the lake water.
These nutrients frequently result in in-
creases in algae density in the lakes. As the
algae die in the late summer, they decom-
pose on the lake bottom, a process which
consumes oxygen from the water. In some
cases, the water near the bottom of the lake
becomes completely devoid of 'oxygen,"
rendering that part of the lake unsuitable
:or fish.
The Beak study will develop a
• mathematical mggdel -which related dif-
ferent types of development or land use in a
watershed to the oxygen levels in the lake
water. This will ultimately be used to.
regulate activities in a watershed to ensure '
that the fish habitat is not adversely af-
fected. The validity of the. model will be
tested on lakes in the Muskoka-Haliburton
area of Ontario.
