SDRA Lake Management Plan
Skootamatta District Ratepayers Association Lake Management Plan 2019 Executive Summary The primary goal of the Skootamatta District Lake Management Plan (hereafter referred to as LMP) is to establish meaningful discussion among residents and local community members in order to preserve the environmental, social, and recreational well being of the Skootamatta District Lakes and the surrounding community. This document continues to be an ongoing project and a living document, subject to change as the needs of the lakes change. The LMP covers many topics relevant to lake health, including invasive species, water quality, fisheries, wildlife, shoreline health, and boating/recreation. This information was gathered using resident and cottager surveys, water quality testing, fishery data collection, and discussions with external stakeholders. In an effort to understand what may impact both the environmental health of the lake, and the continual enjoyment by residents, the LMP includes past, present, and future considerations. For example, historic water quality testing and fishery monitoring provides a benchmark for analysis to compare to the current status of these indicators of lake health. Additionally, impacts of recreational activities on the lakes have increased, as more people are enjoying the lakes in new and different, more technologically advanced ways. The major theme throughout the LMP is lake health, as it relates to water quality, dam operations, and development. Open communication with different levels of government, non-profit organizations, and businesses serves to align the LMP with other programs that may influence the lakes and their residents. Discussions with the Quinte Conservation Authority about water levels and dam operations provide a deeper understanding of challenges associated with maintaining the overall watershed and how the local lakes may be impacted. -

Sodium is a silver-colored metal that is according to the method of recovery as follows: rock salt, from so unstable that it reacts violently in the presence of water, and the surface or underground mining of halite deposits; solar salt, chlorine is a greenish-colored gas that is dangerous and may from the solar evaporation of seawater, landlocked bodies of be lethal.

N On Strategy 2017 Annual Report DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, In 2014, we presented a strategic vision for long-term sustainable growth at Compass Minerals. This plan featured a significant investment of more than $500 million in our key assets and a commitment to expanding our plant nutrition business in order to diversify our earnings and position us to serve the increasing global need for innovative products that support sustainable agriculture. Although we have faced headwinds, we made important progress and remain on course with our strategic vision. We are beginning to see the initial benefits of the investments we’ve made, and with our employees’ focus on high performance and execution, we believe we are well-positioned to meet and exceed our long-term operational and financial goals. FINANCIAL YEAR-IN-REVIEW While consolidated revenue grew 20 percent in 2017, weaker results in our salt business reduced our total operating and net earnings. Because of back-to-back mild winters in 2016 and 2017, both our highway deicing and consumer deicing businesses faced reduced demand in 2017. This, in turn, led us to reduce operating rates throughout our mines for a second year, which had a negative impact on operating costs, and ultimately on our profitability. Our plant nutrition business, now expanded to include North and South America, provided a beneficial offset to the decline in our salt business earnings. Even with the decline in 2017 earnings, we continued investing in our business, specifically completing the installation of continuous mining and continuous haulage equipment at our Goderich rock salt mine and commissioning the new and expanded sulfate of potash (SOP) production equipment at our Utah facility. -
