  • Chapter 2 – Cataraqui Source Protection Area
    Cataraqui Source Protection Area Assessment Report (June 2011) Chapter 2 – Cataraqui Source Protection Area 2.0 Introduction This chapter provides the reader with an overall perspective on the watersheds, physical geography, human geography, and Great Lakes aspects of the Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CSPA). For additional detail on these topics, the reader is invited to review the Watershed Characterization Report: Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CRCA, 2008) in Appendix ‘L-2’. The Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CSPA) is located at the eastern end of Lake Ontario and the beginning of the St. Lawrence River (Map 1-1). It includes a portion of the Bay of Quinte, Hay Bay, the southern portion of the Rideau Canal and the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence River. The region includes approximately 1,000 kilometres of Great Lakes shoreline (Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, including the islands) and about 200 inland lakes. It covers the jurisdiction of the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA), plus the municipality of Frontenac Islands (Howe and Wolfe Islands) and the waters up to the International Boundary between Canada and the United States of America (Map 1-2). The landscape of the CSPA is extremely varied. The central region is characterized by the exposed bedrock, lakes and woodlands of the Canadian Shield (Frontenac Axis), while the south and west consist mainly of the agricultural landscape of the limestone and clay plains (Map 2-1). In the east, the surficial geology is dominated by sand and gravel. The landscape is described in detail by Chapter 1 of the Watershed Characterization Report: Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CRCA, 2008) and it is illustrated by Figures 1-4 through 1-15 of that document.
