Page THE HERALD Wednesday April 1089 Fishing group objects to testing wells Money going to the dogs A local Ashing group could force Region to conduct studies before drilling two propos ed wells in Georgetown The Walton Fly Fisher man s Club in Georgetown is op posed to the last two phases of a Regional plan approved for the Halton Hills Village plan of sub division for Georgetown in The Region recently completed test drilling at a Sideroad Line site that is expected to pump out 200000 gallons of water per day But it has met with opposition from the in trying to com testing in the other two wells at 15 and Eighth Line and Trafalgar Road and Highway The two wells combined are ex to pump out 12 million gallons of water per day IWFFC is fighting the drill ing of the Sideroad and Trafalgar Road welts because they argue fish could die in the surroun ding creeks The WFFC says water temperatures could rise and water levels could drop if water is pumped from the wells This would kill both salmon stocked hi the water and brown and brook trout in Stiver and Black Creeks says the drilling could lead to a reduced water table by so per cent and a lower chahce of survival for 20 Atlan tic salmon smote hatched fish placed the river system as part of a 10year Ministry of Natural Resources program The fishermans club wrote to the and the Ministry of the Environment to voice their con cerns There are just too many en significant areas surrounding the proposed well sites for the expansion of the Georgetown water supply to go ahead and develop new or expand existing wells in that area said a letter written to the Ministry of the Environment by president Jim Wenger Mr said flow rates would be reduced by 15 per cent in the river and ground water discharge by 50 per cent depleting the numbers of Atlantic salmon spawning in Silver and Black Creeks Regional Chief Administrator John Fleming said the IWFFC couid cause the ministry to bump up its recommended assessments He said a class en vironmental assessment of the well site areas would be the quicker shorter route but that a longer process could be ordered by the ministry We really got caught In a in this said Regional Chairman Peter Pomeroy last week It now seems thatwe have a double environmen tal assessment we have to do But he added that until the re cent restocking of the local creeks salmon fry haven t been in those waters since the 1900s Clearly it has an impact on the environment s existence he said Water drilling at the three test sites was originally part of a pro posal of the Halton Hills Village formerly Enterac plan of sub division in which gave the developer funding to do drill testing for wells and to expand Georgetown s water pollution con trol plan Test drilling was approv by the Town of Halton Hills in In 1988 the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of the Environment sup ported the towns application in a proposal for ground water monitoring i To discuss the IWFFC con cerns the Region hired consultant Thorbum Penny who met with the fishing group and the Region to discuss the well projects The Region promised to inform the Izaak Walton group before any new wells were developed The fishing groups said at that they had no problems with the drilling of the first test well at Sideroad and Tenth Line but were concerned about the Sideroad IS and the Trafalgar Road locations conservation chairman Michael Rowan said the Ministry of the Environment should per form a full individual assessment as to the needs to protect both the characters of both Black Creek and Silver Creek and to protect our fisheries throughout the Credit River system Halton Hills councillors love dogs if Monday nights decision to raise the local dogcatcher allowance is any Indication The
