SAGA plans for Ganaraska Watershed Report Card The Save the Ganaraska Again (SAGA> organization is planning to develop a Ganaraska Water- shedi Report Card for a portion of the watersheti in the Municipality of Clarington. At their meeting last Wednes- day the group set a date for a workshop to be held in January outlining the objectives and guidelines for such a Report Card. The Watershed report card would involve an area from west of the Oshawa Ski Hill and north to the stream east of Kendal. Al water courses in this particuhar area would be part of the study. In speaking with Elva Reidi of SAGA she said the Report Card would fit in well with the proposeti Watershed Study that is to be undertaken by, the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority. Les Stanfield, a fish biologist with the Ministry of Natural Resources has spoken to the SAGA group concerning such a untiertaken for the Report Card. Stanfielti is also a member of FISH (Fishermen Involved In Saving Habitat). It is expecteti that Stanfiehd will be involveti in the SAGA project. He did assist with two report cards in Prince Edward County this past summer. Elva Reid also pointed out that SAGA now had the time to undertake such a task and bas funding that bas been made available to SAGA by Dupont and was presented recently by Davidi Climenhage of Dupont. The monies represented $3,000 in Canadian funds. Les Stanfield bas inforrned SAGA that a report card is for educating purposes and is not meant for resolving planning issues. A Watersheti Report Card is a new concept which recognizes there is a neeti for a common tool for ordinary people whîch will educate them about the watersheti. There are four levels with the bronze level being mainly mapping and will identify environmentally sensitive areas and will make a comparison with existing assessments. The Silver level would identify problem areas and start monitoring tools. The Gold level advances the program with a greater emphasis on hum.an management. Through the process water sources would be identified as would dis charge and recharge, areas. There would be mapping of p lant and animal communities. The report card would contain- information relating to alI environmental aspects.
