They ees to make the course eligible to be part of the Audobon Sanctuary pro- gram, one of only a handful of such courses in Canada, says co-owner George Tidd. Project consultant Glen Schnarr brought along sev- eral experts to explain spe- cifics of the plan as well as development principals Dick Kirkpatrick, George Tidd, Glen Toth, and Bob and Barb Monckton. Schnarr said the original plan was to build a 36-hole course north of Highway 7 between the Fourth and Fifth Lines. However, after an en- vironmental review of the 225-acre property, they re- duced the proposal to 27 holes in order to protect the various sensitive areas, in- cluding both branches of the creek. Tom Hildtich, an environ- mental engineer with ESG (Environmental Services Group) International, said in from several sources like Credit Valley Conservation and the Ministry of Natural Resources, he did an on-site aries, of the property last fall. From that, 65 acres have been identified as needing protecting and preservation. No changes are required to Halton's Official Plan to permit construction of a golf course because the land i above the brow of the Niagara Escarpment and considered less important for agricultural production. Halton Hills' Official Plan would also permit the course in its rural area. However a own used car business from his residence. During that four year period he purchased and re-sold more than $1 million in vehicles. He charged his customers $4,550 in GST which he kept instead of remitting it to Rev- enue Canada. The maximum penalty for tax evasion and failing to re- mit GST is 200 per cent of the amount evaded and/or a two year jail term. Car accident claims life of Georgetown man A single vehicle accident on the Eighth Line around 2:25 a.m. Monday has claimed the life of a Georgetown man.

Christopher Crozier, a water resources engineer with Burnside Development Services, said irrigation wa- ter will be taken from the creek during March and April when flow is heavy and stored in newly created ponds for use in low-flow periods from June through August. Two streams join on the property to form a tributary to Black Creek and eventu- ally part of the Credit River. Both these streams as well as Mann's Creek are considered to be cold water fisheries and important Brook Trout habi- tat. Crozier used actual weather data for the past 22 years to prepare a computer model of historical water flows in the area. From that it was determined diverting three to four per cent of spring flow or runoff from summer storms will provide sufficient water to irrigate the course. He said irrigation water would always be taken from groundwater. Paul Bowen, an hydrogeologist with Terraprobe, said his firm will locate a well and septic sys- tem to service the proposed 15,000 square foot club- house. Neighbours' wells will be monitored during the well's construction to ensure the new well does not inter- fere with them. He predicted these facilities would have much less impact on sur- rounding groundwater than the existing farm operation, saying they would be equal to about 10 to 12 homes. Schnarr said the course is expected to attract most of its - Frances Niblock photo customers from Brampton, Mississauga, Oakville, Guelph and Kitchener. The conversion of Acton's Blue Springs course to private has left a market for mid to higher end facilities. The tees and greens will be elevated, Tidd says, and will require some irrigation because of their special grasses. However drought resistant grasses will be used on the remainder of the course so they require little pesticide, herbicide, fertilizer or irrigation. Tidd says the developers will be planting more than 1,000 trees on the property and the only heavy, earth- moving will be to create the storage ponds for irrigation. Soil from those will be used to build the tees and greens. Schnarr said the ponds may be lined with clay or synthetic materials to prevent the collected water leaking into the ground. Tidd says developers ex- pect 350 to 375 golfers per day on weekends with much smaller crowds through the week. The course will be closed in winter with no plans to add extra facilities like a tennis bubble.
