Roast Beef, Baby Carrets, Waterfront Regeneration Trust Community & industry cooperate to proteet Lake Ontarlo wetland After four years of public meetings, discussion and negotiatiens, Clarington Municipal Cou-ncil, at a spe- cial session on Novemnber 3rd, unanimously appreved prin- ciples of understanding with Blue Circle Canada te pretect much of Westside Marsh and create 120 acres of public parkland. "Congratulations are due ail round" said David, Cromble, Chair cf the Waterfrent Regeneratien Trust. "Future generations will thank you for protecting this important part of your waterfront. As the population of Durham Region grews, this area will become te Clarlngton what High Park Is te Toronto, a natural gem and a source cf pride for the cern- mnunity". Westslde Marsh is a provlncially significant wet- land on the Clarlngton water- front east cf Oshawa. It is the most diverse wetland in Durham Regien, with over 250 species of birds, and rnany rare plants. In addition, the mnarsh borders a small commrunlty of waterfrent res- idences. 1-owever, Blue Circle Canada has a licence datlng from 1974 te expand its exist- ing operatiens adjacent te Westside Marsh te quarry limestone from most of the wetland. Cornmunity concerns about the future of the marsh led Mayor Diane Hamre, .Clarlngton CouncIl and 'St. Marys Cernent (recently pur- chased by Blue Circle Canada) in 1993 te request the Waterfront Regeneration Trust te bring the parties together and explore solu- tiens. Eariy in the Trust's pro- cess, it was suggested by a memnber of the public that the c-ompany's need for aggregate could be met by trading lime- stone under a municipal road for the area occupied by the marsh. Based on this idea, cemmunity workgrovUps, the municipality, cempany, regu- latery agencies and the Trust worked eut a cemnplex exehange cf land and money te protect much of the mrarsh and add new habitat. The agreement will aise provide an increased buffer between the residents and future quarry operatiens. Mayor Diane Hamre thanked ail the participants for their dedication and hard work. "Beforewe embarked on this pro cess with the Waterfront Regeneratien Trust, there was nothlng but conflict and anger be tween the company and the cern- rnunlty, wlth the municipali- ty caught in the mniddle", she said, "Now we have an improved climate of coopera- tien, and 1 recornrend that the new Ceunicil establish the comrnunity relations comimit- tee as a first prieritY". Mavis Carlton, co-secretaxy of the Port Darlington Community Association, sald -1 amn very pleased with the agreement overali. 0f course, we recognîze that this is just the beginning of implementa- tien, and hope that the resi- dents will be able te continue te participate te ensure pro- tection of the habitats, and, quality of life of this unique section cf the waterfront". Wilson Little, representing Blue Circle Canada, was pleased te see the resolution of some difficuit issues wlth- eut havlng te resort te courts and tribunals.
