"Durham Region's proposal is one of the most forward-thinking municipal municipal planning actions we've ever seen," said Jim Anderson, a policy adviser with DUC. The Region is currently reviewing its official plan, and is recommending a natural heritage system that would protect 101 wetlands or 7,260 acres. Most of those are found in the northern northern municipalities of Uxbridge, Brock and Scugog, and to the east in Claring- ton. If those wetlands had to be restored, restored, it would cost an estimated $15 million, said Owen Steele, a biologist with DUC. All municipalities are mandated by the Ministry of Natural Resources to protect provincially designated significant significant wetlands. Unfortunately, a vast majority of wetlands are not inventoried or designated designated by the Province, and are therefore therefore not protected by the municipality, Corrections An article that appeared in the March 12 edition contained incorrect information. . GlobalTech Hydrogen Fuel Injection Injection reduces gas consumption by a minimum of 10 per cent and emissions emissions by 50 to 70 per cent. An article in the March 28 edition gave the incorrect date for a municipal municipal community forum in Newcastle. The meeting will be held Thursday, April 1 from 7 to 9:30 p.nv This Week regrets the errors. Mr. Steele said. "What we're really pleased with is that Durham is proposing to protect other wetlands the Province hasn't deemed significant," Mr. Steele said. "That will mean all wetlands are given same level of protection." The Region's natural heritage system system would also recognize and protect other environmentally significant lands like fish and wildlife habitats, valley lands and woodlots. "(These areas) have been protected in the past, but this is more formalizing formalizing our intent to protect them and clarifying clarifying our policy," said Chris Darling, a planner with the Region. If approved, the heritage system -- like Oak Ridges Moraine policies -- would essentially protect significant areas from development. An extensive environmental assessment would have to prove development like wildlife management, conservation projects or highways was absolutely necessary, Mr. Darling said.
