Establish a province-wide Phragmites control program; and, 4. Control Phragmites along Provincial Highways; PDR-PCD-O8-16 1 February 16, 2016 AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to work with local municipalities, local conservation authorities, and other interested organizations to map known locations of Phragmites and to develop a coordinated plan to control and eradicate Phragmites in Grey County using best available management practices. Background Phragmites, also known as the European Common Reed (Phragmites australis), is an invasive perennial grass that is causing extensive damage to shorelines and wetlands throughout North America, including the southern parts of Ontario. According to a document entitled “lnvasive Phragmites — Best Management Practices” prepared by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, the invasive plant grows and spreads quickly and has an extensive root system that eventually overtakes neighbouring native species by consuming the nutrients and the water in the area where it grows. Phragmites also releases a toxin from its roots into the soil which effects the growth of neighbouring plants and can even killoff native species. The plant prefers disturbed habitats and prefers to grow in standing water. The roots of the plant can grow to extreme lengths and the plant can grow quite tall (up to 5 metres in height). There is a native species of Phragmites that is similar to the invasive species and therefore it is important to properly identify whether the plant is invasive or not prior to attempting to control or eradicate the plant. The invasive Phragmites plant tends to grow taller than the native species, grows at a higher density, and has some other differences in terms of stem colour and leaf colour. The invasive species also overtakes the native vegetation, whereas the native species does not alter the habitat. If a program were to be developed to control and eradicate Phragmites, it will be important to train front-line staff on how to identify the invasive plant. Phragmites has also caused impacts to agriculture by plugging agricultural drainage ditches and tiles which results in flooding and impacts to crop yields. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) has noted that Phragmites is becoming a real problem for Ontario farmers. As a result, the OFA supports the work of the Ontario Phragmites Working Group (OPWG). The OPWG was established in 2011 and is a non—profitand volunteer based group that has formed to facilitate effective, efficient and environmentally responsible management of invasive Phragmites in Ontario. OPWG is currently focusing on the facilitation of education, information sharing and investigation, as well as pursuing effective management options. OPWG became a committee of the Ontario Invasive Plant Council in October 2013. The recommendations put forward by OPWG to the Ontario government included the following: PDR—PCD-O8-16 2 February 16, 2016 - emergency use permits for herbicide applications; - Approval of aerial treatment application; - Establish a province-wide control program; and, - Establish an Invasive Species Act for Ontario. On November 3, 2015, the Ontario Invasive Species Act received Royal Assent. The purpose of the Invasive Species Act is to prevent invasive species from entering Ontario, to control the spread of invasive species, and to remove and eradicate the invasive species from Ontario. This is a good first step in dealing with invasive species and demonstrates that the Ontario government is taking invasive species seriously. Current State of Phragmites in Grey County County staff sent correspondence to local municipalities and conservation authorities within Grey to see how prevalent the issue of Phragmites is throughout the County and to determine if there have been any efforts deployed to control the weed. The following is a summary of the responses received to date from local municipalities and conservation authorities: Municipalityl Conservation Known Locations Control Authority Town of The Some areas that contain No control methods have been utilized to Blue Phragmites but not a lot. date.

Practice Lead, Environment The Corporation of the Town of Saugeen Shores Initial Screening for Siting a Deep Geological Repository for Canada’s Used Nuclear Fuel Executive Summary On May 14, 2012, the Corporation of the Town of Saugeen Shores expressed interest in learning more about the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s (NWMO) site selection process to find an informed and willing community to host a deep geological repository for Canada’s used nuclear fuel (NWMO, 2010). This report summarizes the findings of an initial screening, conducted by AECOM, to evaluate the potential suitability of the Town of Saugeen Shores against five screening criteria using readily available information. The purpose of the initial screening is to identify whether there are any obvious conditions that would exclude the Town of Saugeen Shores from further consideration in the site selection process. The initial screening focused on the areas within the boundaries of the Town of Saugeen Shores.

  • Spatial, Temporal, and Cohort-Related Patterns in the Contribution of Wild Chinook Salmon ( Oncorhynchus Tshawytscha ) to Total Chinook Harvest in Lake Michigan
    SPATIAL, TEMPORAL, AND COHORT-RELATED PATTERNS IN THE CONTRIBUTION OF WILD CHINOOK SALMON ( ONCORHYNCHUS TSHAWYTSCHA ) TO TOTAL CHINOOK HARVEST IN LAKE MICHIGAN By Mart Christopher Williams A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Fisheries and Wildlife 2012 ABSTRACT SPATIAL, TEMPORAL, AND COHORT-RELATED PATTERNS IN THE CONTRIBUTION OF WILD CHINOOK SALMON ( ONCORHYNCHUS TSHAWYTSCHA ) TO TOTAL CHINOOK HARVEST IN LAKE MICHIGAN By Mart Christopher Williams During 2006–2010, the majority of hatchery-produced Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) stocked into Lake Michigan were marked with a combination of oxytetracycline (OTC), coded-wire-tags (CWT), and fin-clips to distinguish between hatchery and wild origin. The goals of this research were to: (1) evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of the OTC mark, (2) examine spatial, temporal, and cohort-related patterns in the contribution of wild Chinook salmon, and (3) explore how differences in size-at-age and maturity-at-age may affect the proportion of wild Chinook salmon. OTC mark accuracy and reproducibility was determined to be adequate based on the error matrix fish, OTC mark quality distribution, and OTC mark presence/absence reader agreement was excellent. The lakewide proportion of wild age-1 Chinook salmon for four year-classes ranged from 53.52 to 56.92% with little interannual variation. The proportion of wild Chinook salmon increased as the fish became older (i.e., age- effect), suggesting differential survival between hatchery and wild fish. The proportion of wild age-1 Chinook salmon was greater in Michigan than Wisconsin, but was similar for older ages.
