Comments received during the consultation period were taken into consideration by the Committee, and revisions to the document were made, where necessary. These revisions were reflected in the Proposed Long Point Region Source Protection Area Assessment Report. The Proposed Assessment Report was posted for a second 30-day public comment period beginning October 8, 2010. All comments received during this second comment period were forwarded to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment with the submission of the Proposed Long Point Region Source Protection Area Assessment Report on November 25, 2010. The Long Point Region Source Protection Area Assessment Report received approval from the Ministry of the Environment on April 29, 2011. When new information became available, revisions were made to the Updated Long Point Region Source Protection Area Assessment Report. This report was posted for a public comment period beginning on April 15, 2011. All comments received during this comment period were considered by the Lake Erie Region Source Protection Committee. The Ministry of the Environment approved the Updated Long Point Region Assessment Report on February 27, 2012. Following the 2012 approval of the Updated Assessment Report further updates and new information has been added to the Long Point Region Assessment Report; these updates include new information regarding a nitrate Issue Contributing Area in Oxford County and a new drinking water system located in the Municipality of Bayham. A 30-day public consultation period took place from February 9 to March 10, 2015 and a separate, focused consultation was held from March 16 to April 10, 2015 for the new Elgin County – Municipality of Bayham section of the Assessment Report. The Long Point Region Source Protection Authority submitted the Updated Long Point Region Assessment Report to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change for approval on June 3, 2015. Following the June 2015 submission, additional comments were addressed and the Assessment Report was re-submitted for approval October 27, 2015. The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change approved the Updated Long Point Region Assessment Report November 4, 2015. New information has since been added to the Approved Updated Long Point Region Assessement Report; these updates include a Tier 3 Water Budget and Local Area Risk Assessment and Wellhead Protection Area (WHPA) updates in the communities of Delhi, Simcoe, Waterford and the Village of Richmond. Comments received during all public consultation periods are summarized in Appendix A. The Assessment Report summarizes the technical studies undertaken in the Long Point Region Source Protection Area (watershed) to delineate areas around municipal drinking water sources that are most vulnerable to contamination and overuse. Within these vulnerable areas, historical, existing and possible future land use activities were identified that could pose a threat to municipal water sources. Technical studies include a characterization of the human and physical geography of the watershed, a water budget and water quantity stress and risk March 11, 2019 ES-1 Long Point Region SPA Approved Assessment Report assessment, an assessment of groundwater and surface water vulnerability, a land use activity inventory, and an evaluation of existing water quality contamination Issues. The Assessment Report provides an introduction to the Source Protection Planning process, and the roles and responsibilities of the Lake Erie Region Source Protection Committee, municipalities and conservation authorities.

  • Forest Birds at Risk in the Norfolk Sand Plain Region in Southwestern Ontario
    Forest Birds at Risk in the Norfolk Sand Plain region in southwestern Ontario Final Report on the 2011/ 2012 Field Program Jody Allair, Audrey Heagy, Sarah Dobney, Emily Bird, Myles Falconer, David Bell Bird Studies Canada This report contains a summary of the results of the two-year Forest Birds at Risk in the Norfolk Sand Plain (FBAR –NSP) project. It contains sensitive information on species at risk locations and is not for general distribution. For further information contact Jody Allair, at [email protected], or Audrey Heagy, at [email protected]. Project Funding In 2010-11, Bird Studies Canada (BSC) applied to Environment Canada’s Habitat Stewardship Program (HSP) and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources’ Species at Risk Stewardship Fund (SARSF) for support for a two-year project targeting five at-risk bird species breeding in forest habitats in the Norfolk Sand Plain region in southwestern Ontario. On 3 June 2011, BSC was notified that project funding was being provided by the HSP program over a two-year period. On 14 June 2011, BSC was notified that funding provided by SARSF was not available for this project other than for Whip-poor-will survey work in this region. In 2012, BSC also applied for and received funding to hire three students through the NSERC Industrial Undergraduate Student Research Award for a 16-week Species at Risk Intern positions. Survey Effort In 2011, BSC biologists conducted breeding season field surveys at 37 sites within the eastern Norfolk Sand Plain region (all in Norfolk County, Table 1). Thirty-two of these sites and 35 new sites were visited in 2012, giving a total of 67 sites visited in 2012 (in Norfolk and Elgin Counties, Table 2), and 72 sites visited over the two-year period.
