  • Executive Summary This Report Is the First Step in Evaluating Source Water in the Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CSPA)
    Cataraqui Source Protection Area Watershed Characterization Report March 2008 Executive Summary This report is the first step in evaluating source water in the Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CSPA). It provides base information for the synthesis of a final assessment report which is the foundation of the source protection plan for the CSPA. The CSPA is located at the eastern end of Lake Ontario and the beginning of the St. Lawrence River. It includes a portion of the Bay of Quinte, Hay Bay, the southern half of the Rideau Canal and the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence River. It includes 11 municipalities within the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) jurisdiction plus the municipality of Frontenac Islands (Howe and Wolfe Islands) and about 1,800 smaller islands in the St. Lawrence River (see Figure 1-2). The area is characterized by the exposed bedrock, lakes and woodlands of the Canadian Shield (Frontenac Axis) in the central part of the area, and the agricultural landscape of the limestone and clay plains to the south and east. Urban development is concentrated along the shoreline of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. Stakeholders and Partners The diversity of the local landscape is reflected in the range of interested stakeholders within our watersheds. Our stakeholders and partners include municipalities, federal and provincial government agencies, community groups, businesses, residents, and visitors. In addition to working closely with our municipalities, we also work with local health units and provincial and federal government agencies. A variety of community organizations and individuals representing agriculture, cottagers, industry, the environment and recreation help to round out our stakeholder organizations and represent the various interests in our area.
