Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority Meeting
April 20, 2016
1. Prior meetings
April 11 - Conservation Ontario – Discussion re: Notawasaga CA v Gilmore. CO
will pay counsel to intervene in this case at the Ontario Court of Appeal along
with others (Landowners Association and the Province of Ontario). Case is
complicated but is available on Google. A reminder that CA's are entirely a
creature of legislation and can't exceed or go outside the lines set out.
Presentation from a bureaucrat (Min of Env). Source Water Protection will likely
not be funded much longer. It will fall on the Municipalities likely through the CA's.
This will be reflected presumably in the annual levy.
April 18 – Policy and Priorities Committee - Funding major capital projects
(currently dams) - in the 70's Toronto turned over all operating and ownership of
provincial dams to local CA's with a now forgotten promise of capital funding
when needed – two views – Ottawa (2%ers) and upper valley Municipalities
(location of the dams)- one town has 8 failing dams (@ 50 - 500 thousand each)
and 1800 people – Ottawa view is that they aren't on the river and the mayor
won't allow more than 2% on any budget item (Don't tell Shaun) - Review to be
done of the actual assessable value of dam work in the upper system as
compared to the lower ones to see if there is an equitable way to spread the
costs.
2. Board meeting April 20
Review of septic re-inspection program. In Lanark County - Drummond North
Elmsley and Tay Valley are using powers under the Building Code to have the CA
inspect tanks. Both pay the cost of inspections as an operating cost. Currently
only lakeside systems as neither has any towns or hamlets. Voluntary program
at first in Tay and 2% found in need of replacement. Then compulsory program
and a further 10% had to be replaced. Drummond is doing Mississippi Lake but
the program is just started and no figures on failures. Carleton Place and
Beckwith have shown no interest. Mississippi Mills has the Mississippi Lake
Front and three likely hamlets as well as Clayton Lake.
Report on dam operations in the system. Two different environments. The hard
rock above Innisville and the soil based lower valley. Storms may hit one area
and a few miles further away have minimal effect. 5” on Mazinaw will produce a
huge volume of water in the lake immediately. If logs are removed then lower
lakes will flood. Lower river area has more absorption on land which may spread
the load. Carleton Place uses the river to drink and both CP and MM use it to
dilute final waste treatment water. A delicate balancing act.
Wetland policy is ready to go pending release of new Provincial policy
Next meeting: May 18, 2016
