OMB decision could have impact on fishing streams Fragile wetlands and a cold creek fishery surrounding propos- ed aggregate developments near Guelph, Ontario, have been sav- ed by an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) decision, following actions by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH). The University of Guelph wants to turn a 190-hectare plot of mix- ed farmland and wetlands in Puslinch Township into a multi- million-dollar gravel develop- ment. That development was halted in 1988 by . one of the longest and most expensive OMB hearing in Ontario history. The hearing was forced by the OF AH, and several other parties, because the development threatened provincially- significant, Class 1 wetlands and one of the last trout streams re- maining in the watershed. The OMB decision released Port wins 5-4 Port Perry's representatives in the Novice Lakeshore Hockey League played a very entertain- ing first game against the Stouff- ville team at Stouffville on Oc- tober 5.

Congratulations Aggie SUNDAY OCTOBER 14th, 1990 "\ Port Perry MoJacks Cobourg Cougars MoJacks - Defending Centr VS -- al League Champs yesterday clearly supports the OFAH position taken at the lengthy hearings -- the decision states the university must satisfy 46 tough environmental restric- tions before it can proceed with the development. Dr. Terry Quin- ney, OFAH Provincial Coor- dinator, Fish and Wildlife Ser- vices, called the OMB decision "a major turning point in OMB perspective and a victory for the environment in Ontario. "We may have finally reached the stage in Ontario where en- vironmental values are 'given equal consideration to develop- ment values," Dr. Quinney said. "Most people will admit that society must have gravel - but not if we have to sacrifice the natural environment to get it." And the decision should ensure that future OMB hearings ex- amining aggregate operations, or similar developments, will re- quire input from relevant govern- mental, environmental experts. Because the OF AH felt the On- tario Ministry of Natural Resources wasn't doing its job, the Federation was forced to sub- poena MNR fish, wildlife and wetlands experts to prove that the development would have hurt the environment. "It's a disgrace, in a time when more people than ever are ex- pressing concerns about the en- vironment, that we should have to supboena the MNR to get the truth out," said OFAH Executive Vice President Rick Morgan. "The Federation, in effect, forc- ed the MNR to do its job at these hearings," said Dr. Quinney. "Because of the OMB's decision, we expect that relevant expert witnesses -- be they MNR or Ministry of the Environment -- will be required to attend future hearings. Hopefully, we've chang- ed the system for the better." In June, the OMB ruled that other aggregate developments in the area could not proceed without a series of restrictions, in- cluding the completion of rigorous environmental studies ordered by the municipality. Together, the two decisions will ensure that future aggregate developers will be forced to address carefully all environmental ramifications, the OFAH said. ~~, =, odd aa aia Sheu a " PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, October 10, 1990 -- 35 Monsma still on win streak In game 1 of the day Monsma Electric remained undefeated by beating Emmerson's Insurance 6-1.
