Report Title: Fire Chief Monthly Report – August 2020
RECOMMENDATION: That Staff Report No. PPP-2020-46 regarding the Fire Chief’s Monthly Report – August 2020 be received for information.
The Chief attended: 3 Fires 4 False Alarms 2 Medical Calls 1 Carbon Monoxide
Pump 21 is repaired and back in service.
Tay Fire and Emergency Services responded to three structure fires this month, and the cause of the fire was determined for each incident. There were no injuries to residents or firefighters.
One structure fire required crews to cut through the steel garage door in order to gain access to the fire. One structure fire originated in the basement, where firefighters deployed two of our smoke grenades, slowing the fire down until our attack teams were ready to enter the building and extinguish the remaining hot spots. In both cases, the fire spread was contained to the room of origin because of the efforts of firefighters on scene.
This month Tay Fire and Emergency Services responded to two false alarms at the Tay Shores Public School. The alarm company is investigating the cause and staff was advised that the system is repaired and ready for the opening of the new school year.

Complaints related to dogs were low compared to the months of June/July. Most complaints were residents reporting that a dog was found at large. With the township office now open to the public residents can once again purchase dog tags. Staff will be following up with residents who had expressed an interest on purchasing a dog tag during the suspension of sales to advise them of the change.
Due to COVID -19, several DOLA Statements and Summons to court were sent to the City of Barrie to be reviewed by a Justice of the Peace. All DOLA Statements were approved and the court date that has been set for those matters is tentatively December 3rd, 2020.
Three Dogs were brought to the Township pound in the month of August. One dog was captured by OPP during a complaint and two were found at large by fellow residents. Two dogs remain in the pound as of the date of this report.
No kennel inspections took place in the month of August.

Report No.: PPP-2020-42
Report Title: Short Term Rental Review Work Plan
RECOMMENDATION: That Staff Report No. PPP-2020-42 regarding an overview of the Short Term Rental Review Work Plan be received for information.
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: At the August Committee of All Council meeting, staff received direction from Council to start a public consultation process in regards to Short Term Rental (STR) properties within the Township of Tay. This report outlines the projected timeframe and work plan that staff will use during the process and what method will be utilized to obtain feedback from the public and operators of STR properties. Both the Planning and Development Services and Municipal Law Enforcement Divisions will work together on this review.
ANALYSIS: The following is the work plan that staff will be working from in order to have a projected timeframe to receive information from the public and STR operators on the impacts that these type of uses have on the residents of the Township.
September: In the first two weeks of September, Officer Kennedy and the Township’s Planner, Aleah Clarke, will formulate questions for two separate surveys. One survey will be sent to all known operators of STR properties within the Township, while the second survey will be available for the general public to fill out. The intent of this is to ensure that we are getting as much information as possible from both sides, to help determine the best way for the Township to possibly regulate STR properties. The surveys will also gather input from the STR owners respecting what best practices they employ when running an STR to prevent complaints being filed with Township staff.
October-November: Starting on the first week of October, staff plan to have the surveys go live on the Township website and all surveys sent by mail to owners of STR
Protection to Persons and Property 1 September 9, 2020 PPP-2020-42 properties and the abutting property owners within 120 metres. The public consultation process will run for a period of 6 weeks and will end on November 13th, 2020.
During the last two weeks of November and into December staff will gather all of the answers to the surveys and create a report that will be presented to Council at January’s Committee meeting which will outline the most common answers received and give Council insight on what direction the public would like to see the Township take on this matter. This report will also include staff’s recommendation on which route the Township should take to possibly enforce STR properties.
February-March : Depending on the outcome of the January report, staff will finalize a Licensing By-law, Regulatory By-law and/or Zoning By-law amendment that will come to the February or March Committee meeting for consideration. Staff may consider utilizing our solicitor in the review process before finalizing the draft Licensing or Regulatory By- law due to the perceived severity of this issue within the Township. The goal is to have a By-law passed by this time as set fines will need to be sent to the Ministry of the Attorney General for approval which could take up to three months.
April: Staff is aiming to have a finalized By-law written and enforceable by the start of the next “renting season” to get a better handle on the issue of STR properties within the Township. By-law staff will be able to enforce the By-law without set fine approval but charges will have to be laid via Information and Summons as there will be no set fine attached to the charges until approved by the Ministry of the Attorney General.
FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACT: As the survey will be created and managed internally by staff, the additional costs of executing this work plan are nominal. Minor costs for printing and mailing the survey will be incurred. Any legal costs for review of any licensing or regulating by-laws will be covered by the existing operating budget for legal and are not expected to be significant.
CONCLUSION: This is the projected timeframe that staff will be taking for this public consultation process. While this can change based on responses from the public, further Council recommendations or the time that the Ministry takes approving set fines, this is the work plan that staff feels would allow for potential regulations to be put in place for STR’s by the summer of 2021.

From: Bloom, Karina Sent: August-11-20 3:22 PM To: Cyndi Bonneville Subject: Mrs K Bloom, 63 Long point Rd cabin taxes payed in full, 2621.63 letter to counsel requesting a wave of penalties 792.95
To whom this may concern: My spouse passed suddenly at 56 while driving, due to heart failure, leaving me in shock at age 50. I am still fighting with the court system to have his estate settled, over 5yrs and still stuck in the courts, now due to Covid19. In 2016, I had to move to look after my parents, and asked by phone to have auto withdraw set up on my spouses cabin that has no accessable water. Tay Township mailed me the forms to sign & I enclosed a copy from the bank to set up auto payment for the land taxes at 63 Longpoint rd To my shock an old neighbour called to say she had mail in her box for me, after opening the letter I was shocked that the nothing had been set up for automatic payment of taxes. I since then have had contact with Shelly, Kim and now Cynthia in getting this gross error, or fate, as some would say, that know my history I as a widow at 55, I've been on EI since March, and may not have a job to return to in the fall. I've been blessed so far to just hold onto what little I have, as I fight the courts to one day have ownership of my spouses estate. Please find it in your hearts to wave the penelty fees of 792.95, not anyone's fault, as fate would have the postal service may of played a roll, we don't know. Sincerely Mrs Guy Bloom, who once attended MSS in Midland. We had a dream of retiring & building a home where his cabin remains unusable, due to no water. Please help me to endure through these hard times, thank you
INFORMATION BRIEFING NOTE Great Lakes Water Levels Impacts and Recommended Actions for the Severn Sound Area
Purpose In response to significant damages to municipal and private property due to high water levels on Georgian Bay, the Township of Tiny, Town of Penetanguishene, Town of Midland and Township of Tay and Severn Sound Environmental Association are seeking support for a number of actions that will assist Severn Sound shoreline municipalities build resilience and manage challenges caused by significant water fluctuations (both high and low).
Background Severn Sound is a group of bays located in southeastern Georgian Bay, Lake Huron and was delisted as a Great Lakes Area of Concern (AOC) in 2003, one of only 3 of the 17 Canadian AOC’s delisted to date. The Township of Tiny, Town of Penetanguishene, Town of Midland and Township of Tay are 4 of the 8 founding members of the Severn Sound Environmental Association (SSEA), a watershed based Joint Municipal Service Board under the Municipal Act (Section 202) founded in 1997. The SSEA is not a conservation authority and the majority of our watershed is not within conservation authority jurisdiction.
Included in the variety of services the SSEA provides, SSEA works with 8 municipal partners as well as partnering with the Federal and Provincial Governments to provide cost effective environmental monitoring in the Severn Sound area including coordinating monitoring of Georgian Bay water levels at Midland Bay and climate monitoring. In July 2020, water levels of Lakes Michigan-Huron exceeded the monthly mean record high level for the fifth month in a row. Lakes Erie, Superior and Ontario were above their long-term averages, indicating that Great Lakes Basin-wide factors play a role in high water levels.
The 100 year flood level for the Severn Sound and Township of Tiny coastal section of Georgian Bay, as calculated by Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) Great Lakes Technical Guide, is the 178.0 m above sea level (masl) elevation. Several SSEA member municipalities recognize the 178.0 masl contour (100 year flood level) as the flood hazard or regulatory limit to development in their Official Plan documents. A 15 m setback is also applied to land development to accommodate wave uprush. Based on water level data from the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) gauge in Midland Bay (managed and monitored by SSEA), the hourly maximum level reached in 2020 was 177.73 masl, only 27 cm below the 100 year flood level. These levels do not account for wave uprush. In the Great Lakes, the 100 year flood level is defined as the peak instantaneous still water level having a 1% probability of occurring in any one year.

INFORMATION BRIEFING NOTE Great Lakes Water Levels Impacts and Recommended Actions for the Severn Sound Area
Guidance from Binational, Federal and Provincial agencies indicate that climate change in playing a primary role in water level fluctuations for Lakes Michigan-Huron due to an absence of control structures at the inflow and outflow. Increasing shoreline resilience and adaptation measures is broadly recognized as being critical to protecting shoreline communities. In particular, the Ontario Government included actions targeted at Great Lakes flooding issues in the 2020 Protecting People and Property: Ontario’s Flooding Strategy. The SSEA supports these recommendations, in particular providing financial support to “enhance flood plain mapping” in areas outside of a conservation authority like Severn Sound.
Water Level Impacts High water levels, combined with wave uprush storm events, have caused damage to municipal infrastructure, residential properties, and natural areas in Severn Sound shoreline communities resulting in significant costs to municipalities and private landowners and business owners. Impacts of shoreline flooding and erosion include: destruction of beachfront property and structures, damage to roads and trails, flooding of private wells and septic systems, and damage to habitat such as tree die back, and wetland inundation.
To support Municipal emergency preparedness, SSEA staff completed a desktop mapping inventory of building structures adjacent to Severn Sound Southern shoreline areas with potential flood risk during high water condition periods. The Severn Sound area needs floodplain mapping and modeling that would assist municipal planning departments by identifying lands at risk of flooding due to high water levels.
Recommendations The Following actions are critical to ensure resilience in Severn Sound shoreline communities:
1. The Ontario Government invest technical and financial support for Severn Sound and its member municipalities to develop critical flood plain and wave up-rush mapping and modelling and further the development of Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR), and monitoring/modelling data and upgrading weather stations. 2. Support efforts for shoreline communities to build resilience and support emergency preparedness measures including green infrastructure and private land stewardship. 3. Support municipal planning departments by reviewing and creating progressive planning policies, including the Provincial Policy Statement and the Provinces Low Impact Development policies 4. Through the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, conduct a review of the 178m high water level, considering recent water level data and climate extremes 5. Support watershed organizations in providing resources and guidance for municipalities & residents for resilience and adaptation measures 6. Urge the Federal Government to support Great Lakes Action Plan 2030. This would include Governments of Canada and Ontario committing to establishing and funding Shoreline Resiliency Priority zones, including Southeastern Georgian Bay/Severn Sound, to identify and address significant threats from climate change (high water levels, stronger wind/wave energy, erosion, sudden spring thaws, ice jams) impacting natural and built infrastructure on Great Lakes shorelines, with an emphasis on naturalization and green infrastructure solutions

Report No.: OS-2020-71
Report Title: Monthly Activity Report – Water Wastewater Operations
ORIGIN: Superintendent of Water & Wastewater Operations for the period of Aug 1, 2020 to Aug 31, 2020.
TREATMENT PLANTS: Port McNicoll Wastewater Treatment Plant train 1 sewage return pump failed this was the original pump installed in 2002. We have replaced this 7 ½ hp 600vac 3phase pump with the spare we had on hand and have sent the failed pump out for repair. Victoria Harbour Wastewater Treatment Plant Bio solids loading pump has been repaired and reinstalled in the sludge holding tank. On August 3, 2020 we had a heavy rainfall which caused a sewage surge through the VHWWTP and we were able to quickly divert the excess surge flows to the Sludge storage which we used as equalization to prevent a sewage by pass from occurring. Victoria Harbour Water Treatment Plant has had some issues with chlorination this month while we were awaiting our replacement chlorine pump however we have now received the new pump and installed it to address the chlorination issues and it is performing well. The variable speed controller on our reverse flow cleaning system for the Pall filters failed on August 9, 2020 due to a communication error, these units have had this issue previously. We had a spare CPU control board on hand to replace the failed unit and the pump is now back in service.
DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTIONS SYSTEMS: We have been experiencing hydro supply problems at Mitchell’s Beach sewage pumping station and Tay hydro has now resolved the issues with installing a separate transformer for our sewage pumping station.
Operational Services 1 Sept 9, 2020 Report No. OS-2020-71
The sewer flushing and CCTV for Victoria Harbour was conducted between August 3rd and 14th and we received the report on the August 25th, 2020. There are a number of immediate repairs required to address infiltration in the area of the beaches which we will obtain pricing on before proceeding with repairs. These will require trenchless technology to ensure no damage to the newly paved road surfaces. We had a water main break off the truck main servicing Port Mc Nicoll along Vents Beach Road requiring the isolation of the water system west of Vents Beach road for a period of approximately 6 hrs. The Ellen Street sewage pumping station pump 1 was replaced and the new check valve assembly installed. The sewage pumping station is now fully operational. We are still waiting on parts to repair the damaged pump for pump 1. Obtaining a new impeller for this pump is challenging as we had to send it back to the manufacture to determine its replacement.
Sewer Backups There were no sewer backups during this period.
ADVERSE DRINKING WATER: There was one adverse water quality report during this period, AWQI # 151332, which required the resampling of the roadside water sampling station located on Third Avenue in Port McNicoll. As directed by the SMDHU sampling was completed and all follow up samples both at this location and before and after this location came back with satisfactory results two days in a row, no further action was required and the AWQI was closed.

STAFF REPORT
Department/Function: Operational Services
Chair: Councillor Barry Norris
Meeting Date: September 9, 2020
Report No: OS-2020-73
Report Title: Disposal of Surplus and Unserviceable Equipment Float
RECOMMENDATION: That report OS-2020-73 regarding the Disposal of Surplus and Unserviceable Equipment Float be received; And that staff proceed immediately with posting the surplus and unserviceable equipment float for online auction in as-is where-is condition; And that staff advise the resident that inquired about purchasing the equipment float that they may bid on the float via online auction.
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND:
Staff have received an inquiry from a resident about purchasing our old and unserviceable equipment float that has not been in use since its replacement with our current large equipment float. The old float would not pass a safety inspection and is not worth repairing to make road worthy. The resident wishes to acquire the old float for on private property use; a use that would not require a safety.
The Township’s asset disposal policy would normally have us send the equipment to auction either physically or by posting the item on an online auction site such as GovDeals.com. Either auction option would cost us approximately 15% of the auction sale amount in commission.
Operational Services Department 1 September 9, 2020 OS-2020-73
Alternatively the item could be posted for sale on the Township’s website at no cost, or offered directly to the resident that inquired about purchasing it. The Manager of Roads and Fleet Services has suggested a fair market value of approximately $500 for the old float.
ANALYSIS:
Getting the old float to a physical auction site would cost more than it is expected to return at auction, which is likely why it is still in our possession after a decade of not being used.
Posting for auction online on GovDeals.com is rather effortless; one of the Operational Services Administrative Assistants can get it posted in short order. This option is in line with our asset disposal policy and makes the asset available for purchase to the public at large, in a fair fashion. Once sold the purchaser would be responsible for removing it from our site.
Selling the float to the resident that inquired, directly, seems to be the least transparent way of disposing of an asset.
FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACT:
At an estimated value of $500 the financial impacts are negligible. The value is in getting unused and unwanted equipment off of our property and out of the way.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the old float be posted to GovDeals.com for auction as soon as possible and that the resident that inquired about its purchase be informed so that they can bid on the float if they are interested in doing so.

Notice
Attention: MAYOR Date:Aug.10,2020 RE: Notice of violation-zoning
Hello and good day,
I am writing in response to the notice of violation given by officer Rob Kennedy on August 6, 2020. Recently I registered a business under the name 'Alternative Lifestyles'. The purpose is to design and build high quality housing alternatives that can provide more attainable home ownership in this current housing market. Our units do not require a blackwater sewer system and are capable of off-grid options. About 6 weeks ago or so, my partner and I completed our first design. People from the neighbourhood started hearing about our project and became interested in our idea;viewing and taking photos. This led to a local facebook post garnering the attention of Paul Raymond and Rob Kennedy of Tay township. Both members of Tay township expressed enthusiasm regarding the post. Rob Kennedy personally stopped by and spoke to Marc Walker regarding the tinyhome and to see if there were any violations being committed. Rob asked if our tinyhome was listed on airbnb and he was told it was not. At the time Rob asked it was not listed on airbnb. At this time our tinyhome was up for sale and continues to be for sale as you can also view from our website. It was also at this time that it was expressed to Rob Kennedy that if someone was interested in purchasing our tinyhome model that they would be allowed to stay in it to test out the functionality of the unit and decide if they wish to purchase. Rob acknowledged this and did not express any further concerns. He was shown inside the unit and shown the incinerating toilet system to which he seemed to express much positive enthusiasm. About 4 weeks after Rob Kennedy viewed our tinyhome we listed our unit as a limited time offer business promotion online with Airbnb to try and garner attention of potential buyers. Rob Kennedy claims to have seen we had an airbnb listing and came to give notice of a zoning violation soon after. Rob Kennedy claims we have a travel/camper trailer instead of acknowledging we have an actual Tinyhome . To my understanding, Ontario has given authority to all municipalities to create the by laws to allow such Tinyhomes. They are recognized in other municipalities around Ontario and recognized across Canada in places like Vancouver, Alberta and Quebec. By definition our Tinyhome is not a temporary living space such as a camper trailer and the term 'Tinyhome' is not defined or recognized in the Tay by laws. Our units are winterized, sewerless and built by a seasoned licensed contractor. Features that travel/camper trailers are not required to have. Giving an unclear Notice of violation instead of trying to create a solution affects not only the community which I grew up in but it also affects my livelihood. This notice would restrict my right to gain and maintain a livelihood and not be deprived thereof thereby causing injury. Therefore, to prevent such an injury from happening, I request the township to acknowledge, define and permit tinyhomes as a viable housing option and create the by laws necessary to make them lawful in Tay township. We ask for the support from the Tay township Council to address the by laws regarding more affordable alternative housing solutions. Furthermore, we would like to bring to the attention of the council, the outpouring of community support for these types of alternative solutions. Within less than 24hrs we managed to get close to 1000 signatures and comments from people in and around the area that not only support what we're doing but support Tay township to prioritize this issue. I truly appreciate your time concerning this matter as it is becoming a topic of great importance in the area. We hope to be able to move forward in a positive manner and continue to keep an open discussion. My partner and I will be available to assist in any way possible.
Thanks again and kind regards!

Dear Councillor Norris
Councillor Norris, we the undersigned ask you to take up the cause of our neighbour, Chuck Walker, with the Mayor and Council. Chuck Walker lives at 9L King Road. He is a quiet neighbour, with a unique talent and passion: he has built a beautiful < Tiny Home > which is on his large property. Using exquisite carpentry, and high end features including an entirely self sufficent washroom (not needing septic) this provides a sleeping and living space for two people.
This Tiny Home is very beautiful, and could provide an answerto our homelessness issue. Chuck has invested an extraodinary amount of time, money and talent towards building it. Yet he has told us that due to a complaint from one neighbour, the Bylaw officers are insiting he move the Tiny Home this week. As his OTHER neighbours we fully support Chuck having his Tiny Home on his lot. lt should be considered as an < in-law > suite under the Bylaws, and, as a result, legal. ln this time of Covid, this is an ideal solution for Chuck's family and friends to visit him safely.
As a potentialAirBNB, this Tiny Home at 9L King Road is much less intrusive in our neighbourhood than the two otherAirBNB rentals at 68 King Road and 100 King Road.68 and 100 King Road are loud, noisyand sometimes exceed ten people in them at once. They are not COVID friendly. By contrast, Chucks's place suits two quiet adults or a family with a baby.
Please take this up with Council so that the Bylaw department can permit Chuck to use his Tiny Home. Please consider making an excemption under Bylaw 4.29.8 for this type of dwelling when Council considers the issue of AiTBNB lodging at its August meeting. Thank you

Chuck's Tiny Home
About this petition
PETITION RE: CHUCK'S TINY HOME
AUGUST 9, 2020
Dear Councillor Norris
Councillor Norris, we the undersigned ask you to take up the cause of our neighbour, Chuck Walker, With the Mayor and Council. Chuck Walker lives at 91 King Road. He is a quiet neighbour, with a unique talent and passion: he has built a beautiful
This Tiny home is very beautiful, and could provide an answer to our homelessness issue. Chuck has invested an extraordinary amount of time, money and talent towards building it. Yet he has told us that due to a complaint from one neighbour, the Bylaw officers are insisting he moves the Tiny Home this week. As his OTHER neighbours we fully support Chuck having his Tiny Home on his lot, It should be considered as an
As a potential AirBNB, this Tiny Home at 91 King Road is much less intrusive in our neighbourhood than the other AirBNB rentals at 68 King Road and 100 King Road. 68 and 100 King Road are loud, noisy and sometimes exceed ten people in them at once. They are not COVID friendly. By contrast, Chuck's place suits two quiet adults or a family with a baby.
Please take this up with Council so that the Bylaw department can permit Chuck to use his Tiny Home. Please consider making an exemption under Bylaw 4.29.8 for this type of dwelling when Council considers the issue of AirBNB lodging in its August meeting.
Thank you.

Covid if nothing else makes it very clear that we need to be self sufficient and these tiny homes are a great way to provide that.

My business has suffered during Covid and I am without a vehicle was almost found on the streets starved of no food, or water, and naked, dead. It is mostly because of a deadly disease and suffer from severely known as Lupus. I can't be in the sunlight or heat it will kill me. I am interested in buying a tiny home for myself when I have money. But right now have none and am staying with family. When I went past the poverty level and felt as though I was living in a time of famine for myself I needed rest because I couldn't go on anymore I was going to die, I took shelter at highway 80 rescue mission. They fed and clothed me I had water and a place to sleep. I eventually while working in their kitchen worked my up to Lead. They personally asked me if I would help due to having leadership skills and knowing what I was doing in a management position after a several women quit. After all the stories Ive heard, and the womans lives that have been affected by poverty and much more, I want to cry. Give this man a chance. He is doing the best he can. I still have received no help yet but will. But I have to keep striving, I won't quit. I plan to go back to school next year for Business. And am opening other businesses as well. This life can be soo good. But it shouldn't have to be like this.

If every homeowner that had the space built one for their aging parents...a homeless vet or small family that cant qualify for a mortgage...our housing problems could be solved...but instead outdated laws...red tape and bureaucracy stops progress as usual. Please do something to correct this problem.

4 Monitoring Programs Field/data collection: Open Water, Inland Lakes, PGMN, PWQMN/Tributaries, Stream Temperature, Stream Invertebrates and Climate
Adapting to COVID-19 Challenges
Due to COVID-19, both Provincial laboratories that SSEA sends water samples to for open water, lake, stream and groundwater monitoring programs have temporarily stopped accepting non-essential (i.e. not drinking water related) samples. We are reviewing our COVID-19 safety protocols for fieldwork, and will commence sampling in some capacity as soon as possible. The bulk of the work for many SSEA sampling programs (e.g. stream invertebrates, groundwater sampling) normally occurs in late summer into fall, and will hopefully not be impacted. In the meantime, there will be a focus on updating datasets and reporting on 2019 Raw Water Intake Sampling results.
Open Water • Completed 2 water quality sampling events at the raw water intake at the Tay Area and Rope Subdivision water intakes, using new safety protocols • Open Water sampling program on hold pending re-opening of MECP labs
Inland Lakes • Inland Lake sampling program on hold pending re-opening of MECP labs
Climate • Compilation of monthly Georgian Bay water level, regional climate data and ice off data
Citizen Science • Repaired and re-installed water level gauge on Farlain Lake • Water Level Watch volunteers from Farlain Lake submitted 11 water level observations from a static water gauge • Added 16 volunteers to SSEA citizen science programs (Shore Watch, Stream Watch) • Program development for Shore Watch, Stream Watch, supported by funding from TD Friends of Environment Foundation, and Lake Huron Georgian Bay Framework for Community Action Spring Soil Sampling at Penetanguishene Snow Disposal Site
[email protected] - www.severnsound.ca
5 Special Projects • Spring soil sampling completed at Penetanguishene snow disposal site as a cost recovery project
Data Analysis and Reporting Statistics, Data Management & Analysis, Stream Invertebrate ID, and GIS/Mapping
GIS/Mapping • To support Municipal emergency preparedness, SSEA Staff completed a GIS desktop inventory of building structures adjacent to Severn Sound Southern shoreline areas with potential flood risk during high water condition periods
Reporting • Tay Township Raw Water Assessment Report, in support of the Township’s drinking water license renewal
Statistics/Data Management & Analysis • Severn Sound-wide sodium and chloride analysis completed, and draft sodium map produced • Updated algae and zooplankton analysis for open water sites, presented in IAGLR virtual presentation
Stream Invertebrate Identification • 53 samples completed for a total of 10,000 bugs identified. Sturgeon River identification from 1998 to 2018 has been completed
Provincial Groundwater Monitoring Network (PGMN) • Analysis and trends of 2019 groundwater chemistry data has been completed • 2019 sodium concentrations at Bass Lake Side Road monitoring well continue to marginally exceed the Ontario Drinking Water System Regulations 170/03
Partnerships New/Updated NGO partners and MOU’s
