Lawson, president of the Bowmanville Creek Anglers Association for the past 15 years is concerned with the condition of the creek and the surrounding valley lands. Lawson is concemed particu- larly about erosion that is occurring in the creek, par- ticularly from added storm sewer run-off further up the creek. The concern is that the creek will soon become unsuitable for the fish found in the creek. Lawson claims that approximately 8,000 rainbow trout use the creek in the spring to spawn in, and around 2,000 chinook salmon can be found there in the fall. "Each year hundreds of anglers come to catch these magnificent fish," said Lawson. "They bring dollars to the community." The erosion problem in the valley has become a major problem in the past few years. The Vanstone Dam, which use to control the excess flow of the creek, was damaged in 1976, and development along the creek has caused more and more storm water run- off, contributing to the prob- lem. Also, until recently, the town would deposit the snow plowed off of Bowmanville's streets down in the valley. This large addition of extra water during the spring run- off has taken its toll on the valley lands. In many areas, that creek beds have eroded, making the creek wider than it previous- ly was. This has caused the overall level of the creek to become shallower, which in turn causes the creek to be warmer than it once was. If the creek becomes too warm, the fish that presently use the creek will stay away, thus not only ruining the ecosystem of the valley, but could impact on local businesses as anglers stay away. Mr. Lawson is proposing an effort to save the creek. He and a number of volunteers presently filled in a portion of the creek, turning it from a wide, shallow, rocky area to a narrow and deeper flow. He presented a number of slides showing the erosion and the work he and other volunteers have done to the Council at Monday night's Council meet- ing. Lawson hopes to bring the' municipality on board to help save the valley. He stressed to the Council that he does not expect them to foot the bill, but wants their help in getting the project off the ground. He would like to see the creek rehabilitated, and the valley lands put to greater use. If the valley was enhanced, it could be used and enjoyed by the people of Clarington and visitors to the area. Presently a number of bike and walking trails criss- cross the lands. Lawson hopes to see an entire community effort, with service clubs, large compa- nies, and businesses working with the Town and the Ministry of Natural Resources working to clean up the val ley. Lawson points out to the new Rotary Park, which con- tains a stairwav dowri into the valley, and a new walking bridge built across the creek, as a step in the right direc- tion. Clarington Council was impressed with Mr. Lawson's presentation, and agreed that it was a resource that needed t be preserved. The Town will look into a number of possibilities to see what can be done to help save the val- ley lands.
