As council is aware, I have been involved with this case since 2010. I have sent letters on behalf of residents to the Provincial Departments of Transpm1ation and Infrastructure Renewal, Environment, and Emergency Management Office and received responses from the Province (see attached.) The fundamental issue regarding the restoration of the culvert is before the courts and I, along with all others involved, hope that a speedy resolution is possible. Yours truly, Zach Churchill MLA, Yarmouth House of Assembly Nova Scotia Liberal Caucus Office 5151 George Street, Suite 1402 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2T3 December 7, 2010 Honourable Bill Estabrooks, Minister Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal 211d Floor, Johnston Building 1672 Granville Street PO Box 186 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 3Z8 Dear Minister Estabrooks: I am writing in regards to an issue in Yarmouth County. As a result of the flooding in early November, a culvert had been undermined in the Golden Forest Subdivisionlocated in North Kemptville, and the road that is the right-of-way to the subdivisionhad been washed-out. Until last week, when a temporary bridge was installed, the Golden Forest Roadwas impossible to access by vehicle. This caused a great safety issue for the four full-time residents of this subdivision as they were very concerned about access, for emergency vehicles, in particular. According to the DFAA program, because it is a private road, the Golden Forest Road does not qualify for funding and the residents are responsible for the cost ofrepair to the road. Although this is a private road, according to residents, the right-of-way to Golden Forest is an "industrial road" as the approximately 220 acres of land is assessed as forestry. The culvert borders the approximately 220 acres of land, not Golden Forest. The general public also uses this road to visit family and friends who reside in Golden Forest. Please advise me if there is any funding available to assist the residents of Golden Forest in repairing the Golden Forest Road. Thank you for your attention to this issue. Yours truly, Zach Churchill MLA, Yarmouth Cc: Hon. Ramona Jennex, Minister of Emergency Management House of Assembly Nova Scotia Liberal Caucus Office 5151 George Street, Suite 1402 Halifax, NS B3J 2T3 December 21, 2010 Honourable Bill Estabrooks, Minister Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal 2ndFloor, Johnston Building 1672 Granville Street Halifax, NS B3J 3Z8 Dear Minister Estabrooks: I am writing to follow-up on my December 7 letter regarding Golden Forest Road. Please find attached a map which shows that the culvert is located on the industrialroad and not on the Golden Forest Subdivision. The residents of Golden Forest continue to be concerned aboutthe future of their access road. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your attention to this issue. Yours truly, Zach Churchill MLA, Yarmouth House of Assembly Nova Scotia Zach Churchill,MLA 396 Main Street Suite I 00 Yarmouth. Nova Scotia B5A I E9 Phone: (902) 742-4444 Fax: (902) 742-7391 E-mail: ca(iiJ;achchurchill.co111 October 10, 2012 Honourable Sterling Belliveau, Minister Department of Environment 511' Floor, 5151 Terminal Road PO Box442 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3.J2P8 Dear Minister Belliveau: I write to you on behalf of residents of Golden Forest Subdivision (Golden Forest Road, North Kemptville). The road is now non-existent, causing grave and urgent safety concerns. EHS and firefighting vehicles are not able to pass this road, leaving residents and seasonal visitors without fundamental access to help in the case of emergencies. Furthermore, without access to these fundamental services, insurance companies are indicating that residential properties will be ineligible for coverage. This means homeowners are very close to losing their properties. This issue has been ongoing for two years. It has been a source of great frustration for residents of the Golden Forest Road and is quickly becoming a health and safety issue. It has become apparent that government intervention is urgently needed to bring about a resolution to this issue. I strongly urge you to meet with all parties involved. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Nova Scotia Environment (NSE) has been in dialogue with both the contractor and the residents of the subdivision and understands the concerns of the residents about safety and the need for permanent suitable road access to their properties. However, NSE is not able to direct a proponent to install a structure in a watercourse as the issue does not fall within our jurisdiction. This being said, an approval is required from NSE for altering a watercourse. Activities that require approval are stipulated in the Activities Designation Regulations, which can be found on our website at: http://www. gov.ns.ca/just/regulations/regs/envactiv. htm#TOC3 3. To date, NSE has not received an application to install a new structure. NSE will work with the proponents with any future plans to install an approved structure to provide access to the subdivision. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Adrian Fuller, Western Regional Director, at (902) 678-6088. Sincerely, (-H+-{1- . /) //ff .../)~~ ..i~r:.c&.?.ut- Sterling B~v~au Minister c: Hon.

As a result of the flooding in early November 20 l 0, a culvert was undermined in the Golden Forest Subdivision located in North Kemptville, and the road, which is the only access point to the subdivision was washed out. The Department of Environment placed a temporary bridge allowing entry to the road which was removed in the fall of 2012 leaving residents, again, without a suitable access point to their properties. EHS and firefighting vehicles have indicated they are unable to pass this road leaving residents and seasonal visitors without help in the case of emergencies. According to residents, the Department of Environment has stated that this issue is the responsibility of IWB Real Estate as they made the decision to install a temporary bridge and had a permit issued in their name. Both the permanent and seasonal residents of Golden Forest Subdivision offered IWB Real Estate a financial commitment of $45,000 towards the $75,000 ~HST cost of the permanent culvert to resolve this issue but their offer has yet to be accepted. I have written to the Departments of Transportation and Environment on this issue and both are unable to provide any assistance. Th.is situation has become an urgent safety issue for the residents of Golden Forest Subdivision. As the minister responsible for Emergency Management Office, Iurge you to provide the financial assistance needed to resolve this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
