  • Monitoring of Municipal Salt Management Plans in the District of Muskoka
    Monitoring of Municipal Salt Management Plans In the District of Muskoka December 2010 Monitoring of Municipal Salt Management Plans in the District of Muskoka INTRODUCTION The mission of the Muskoka Watershed Council (MWC) is to Champion Watershed Health. In pursuing this mission, MWC evaluates the watershed through research on, and analysis of, issues impacting the health of the watersheds. The Muskoka Watershed Report Card is the primary tool used to communicate the results of this work. MWC also prepares position papers on issues of concern. PURPOSE AND RECOMMENDATIONS The purpose of this paper is to report on the implementation of municipal salt management plans across Muskoka. The Province also uses salt on provincial highways and private shopping centres use salt on their parking lots to ensure safe conditions. These applications will not be addressed in any detail in this report. In general, municipalities have methodically implemented their respective plans over the last four years. In particular, significant capital investment has been made in the construction of new salt domes with impervious floor surfaces, the installation of proper facilities to store pre-wetting material (water or a de-icing solution added to road salt or sand before, or during, application to the road ), and the acquisition of trucks and computers with pre-wetting capability. This effort should be commended. Not all actions can be implemented at the same time, and additional work is required to completely implement the salt management plans. In particular, the following activities, recommended in the salt management plan, are outstanding: 1. Monitoring of snow storage areas to determine the levels of salt, oil/grease and heavy metals present in the snow melt that are released to the environment.

Snow stations are located near the Village of Rosseau, Arrowhead Provincial Park, Brooks Mills, Norway Point, Ouse Lake in Algonquin Park and near the Village of Sundridge. Above normal snow water content has been measured across the region since early January 2014. The snow water content in the snow pack as of April 11 th is 20% above normal or 120% of the historical average in the area. Snow water content in the remaining snow pack has fallen from the April 4th th snow survey readings but remains above normal for this time of year. Most managed lakes in the area are beginning to quickly trend up with rising inflows. MNR dams are currently prepared for optimal discharge through the spring melt.

  • An Independent Review of the 2019 Flood Events in Ontario
    Ontario’s Special Advisor on Flooding Report to Government An Independent Review of the 2019 Flood Events in Ontario A Report to the Hon. John Yakabuski, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry Douglas McNeil, P.Eng. McNeil Consulting Inc. – Winnipeg, Manitoba An Independent Review of the 2019 Flood Events in Ontario Douglas McNeil, P.Eng. McNeil Consulting Inc. – Winnipeg, Manitoba 1 Executive Summary Ontario has a long history of taking actions to keep people and property safe from the impacts of flooding through land use planning policies and mitigative activities. The development of the modern floodplain policy in Ontario, the watershed approach, the conservation authority model, and the flood standards have been extremely effective at reducing flood risks, especially in new greenfield development areas. However, during the spring of 2019, heavy rains paired with melting snow and a sudden temperature increase led to devastating flooding across many areas throughout northern and southern Ontario. Emergency declarations were made by 23 municipalities and one First Nation, with significant flooding impacting households, commercial properties, roads and other key infrastructure, such as bridges. Emergencies were first declared starting in early April and lasted through July in many cases. Even through the fall and heading into winter, the Great Lakes continue to experience high-water levels that have been underway since early 2017, and many people and properties continue to be at risk. In response to these flood events, the provincial government announced that it would undertake consultation on the province’s current flood mitigation and land use planning policies. Their first step was to host three regional listening sessions held by provincial leaders with municipal, Indigenous and industry leaders in Muskoka, Pembroke and Ottawa in May 2019.
