"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.
