Ron Britton addressed the meeting with a description of the Gananoque River Management Study now being under- taken in the three townships of Kitley, Bastard and Rear of Leeds and Lans- downe, comprising 950 sq. miles with four sub-basins. The consultant firm of Crysler and Lathem, Ltd., Willowdale is under- taking the study with funding provided by Federal, Provincial and the Muniâ€" cipal Governments through the Flood Damage Reduction Program. Flood- plain mapping is in process to indicate which lands can safely be developed. Costs are $166,000 for mapping and $40,000 for collecting data. This and other Engineering studies, such as requirements of hydroâ€"electric power, interrelate with ongoing environmental studies to give an overview of water quality, fish and wildlife resources, aquatic vegetation, as well as recreâ€" ational interests. In the final stages the Study will form water management strategies which will tie together all those varied interests. Two openâ€"house public meetings have been planned to form in-put for the Study, one in its initial stage which was held June let at the Sweets Corner School and a second at the conclusion in 1981 or 1982, to present the strateâ€" gies which have been developed. Mr. Britton made a request for in- formation from experienced, concerned people who know the river system, and especially from the farming resource people. A question period followed and Mr. Britton furthur discussed the implicaâ€" tions of the Study as it is related to the goals of the G.R.W.A. and con- cluded that he has high hopes for the study if co-operation exists. HwS LYNDHURST Bun Sheffield expressed to Ron Britton the appreciation of all pre- sent and thanked him for addressing the meeting. Newly elected President, Richard Fox, assumed the chair and made a motion for a show of appreciation to the retiring executive members for their services to the ASSOCiation.
