Page SECTION B THE HERALD January 1ISI Why floodplain rules are tough BROCK HARRIS HALTON REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY situated In a headwater swamp he get permission from Authori ty After due process because filling In of this particular piece of land might affect stream flow he was denied a permit his right he appealed to Minister of Natural Resources arguing that the filling In of this one piece of land would have no signific ant ecological effects The Authority agreed the effect To the early Halt on Region Settlers the virgin territory meant backbreaking work clearing Ihc land Without zoning or conservation regulations or an awareness of future ecological conse quences the land was alter ed The once swiftflowing creeks were reduced to a trickle during summer months and became raging torrents during spring melting Man and nature no longer lived in harmony With history as a teacher strict floodplain ami head water regulations are enforced by the Authority Basically the regulations prevent any construction near ponds or on swamps or any area that is susceptible to flooding The regulations further prevent the filling and dump ing on ecologically sensitive land and prevent any tampering with water courses John Hall the Authority Land Use Planner explains Often the Region Conservation Authority finds the public does not have a full understanding of the relationship between land and water Its difficult to realize the role swamps play in maintaining high watcr quallty and acting to naturally regulate stream flow A precedentsetting case for the Authority involved a with swamp land who wanted to fill and develop his property After proceeding through municipal channels for permits he was advised that because the land was would be insignificant but by turning a blind eye to this Instance a precedent would be eel Authority then in good faith could not turn down other applicants Because the cumulative affect of filling in swamps would be damaging to the region whale the permit denied llcndwntcr swamps arc regulated by the Conservati on Authority because provide many benefits to the residents our watershed Swamps reduce flooding by soaking up excess spring water Swamps recharge ground water arena and streams by slowly releasing water during dry periods Swamps provide good habitat for many plant and animal species Swamps filter excess chemicals by natural processes To date with the construction of four dams and several channel works the Authority has rectified mast of he manmade damage from previous generations Under a new direction of preventative cure of environmentally sensitive areas the Authori ty through regulations has deflccled development which otherwise may nave caused significant damage to the environment As
