31 REPORT #6b SAUGEEN CONSERVATION PROGRAM REPORT Thursday, October 24, :00pm WATER RESOURCES/STEWARDSHIP SERVICES Flood and Erosion Control Structures All inspections and reporting for the SVCA capital works flood and erosion control structures have been completed for Waterlution Saugeen staff partnered with the Grey Bruce Sustainability Network to host the Waterlution weekend where young professionals working in the environmental field came together over the weekend of October 4-6. About 15 participants were registered and were actively involved with the weekend. Friday opened with a dignitaries welcome from Lisa Thompson and David Inglis. Saturday involved a walking tour of Walkerton where Jo-Anne Harbinson explained the past and present use of the floodplain in Walkerton. This also exposed the participants to the capital works projects that the SVCA is involved in, such as the flood control dyke in Walkerton. An overview on the requirement of development proposed behind the dyke was given while highlighting the successes of existing development in the floodplain in Walkerton. Rural Stormwater Management Model (RSWMM) Pine River Priority Watershed Jo-Anne Harbinson continues to work with the Technical group looking at the development of the model that will be developed for the management of stormwater in a rural area which will improve the understanding of how agricultural and rural drainage function in the rural landscape. It is the hope that with sufficient data to calibrate the model that it may be ready in February or March Go to for more information on the RSWMM 1

32 Program Report October 24, 2013 Drinking Water Source Protection Early Response Grant Funding Program The Early Response Review Committee met on August 15 and September 27, The Outreach Specialist, Jo-Anne Harbinson provided the committee a power point that included the review of 13 applications in the Source Protection Area. To date, the committee has approved approximately $70,718 in grant funds for the projects reviewed leaving approximately $6,300 to be allocated. Completion date of these projects must be by December, The Outreach Specialist has been directed to source out additional eligible projects to use the remaining funds by December, Stewardship Grey Bruce Stewardship Grey Bruce is now a legal incorporated entity. With the help of the SVCA Graphic Assistant, Catherine Bould, the SGB now has a new logo. In addition, the group will be looking at a two day Strategic Planning session to outline the goals and objectives of the group within Grey and Bruce Counties. They will be making an application for charity status. Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation The Coastal Centre has a number of initiatives on the go along the Lake Huron and Georgian Bay shorelines. The Centre offers continued technical support to SVCA staff and the shoreline municipalities. The Coastal Centre has approached the SVCA to partner with the placement of a rolling board walk for Brucedale Conservation Area. All the materials will be purchased by the LHCCC and will be constructed by students at Saugeen District Secondary School in Port Elgin. This type of board walk does not prevent the natural progression and processes of a dune system but allows it to continue to develop in a natural state. The board walk can also be removed during the winter period. It is hoped that the construction of the board walk will be over the winter with installation in the spring of The Coastal Centre just finalized a position paper on Extreme Water Levels on Lake Huron. Go to for more information on the Coastal Centre and their activities. WaterWORKS Hanover and Walkerton The Manager of Water Resources and Stewardship Services together with Nancy Griffin, Conservation Education Coordinator have partnered with the Grey Bruce Sustainability Network to coordinate two WaterWORKS days. One in Hanover with JDSS students and one in Walkerton that includes Sacred Heart students and Walkerton District CS. WATER QUALITY PROGRAM REPORT Surface water sampling is ongoing at the 29 regular sites and the two Rural Storm Water Management Model (RSWMM) sites that are located within the Pine River priority watershed. There have not been any rain events to trigger the RSWMM ISCO automated sampler at the Ripley gauging site. The river has been barely flowing, if at all since July. The Water Quality Specialist has been working on surface water data summarization and analysis. The Walkerton PGMN wells were sampled in September with the assistance of the Ministry of the Environment to monitor nitrates in the aquifers. As well, the Water Quality Specialist has been collecting the annual water quality samples from all of the PGMN wells. 2
