PURCHASE OF BLACK-FAREWELL WETLAND COMPLEX
I have requested all levels of government to collaborate in purchasing the
Provincially Significant Black-Farewell Wetland Complex in Courtice (including
the area of extended urban boundary - to mitigate the damage done to this
watershed by including Courtice North within the urban boundary without
knowledge on its significance). It should be in the interest of all to protect
this remainder of once extensive wetland. This system is delicately balanced
having physical, hydrological, geochemical and biological interacting
components. The survival of this complex, two streams, Oshawa Second Marsh and
the people's private well water supply depend on high water table in Courtice
North, the sole groundwater recharge for Black and Farewell Creeks that do not
originate at the Oak Ridge Moraine.
New WATER POLLUTION CONTROL PLANT
in Courtice
Learn more about plans for this plant and concerns raised by
residents and by Ontario Hydro on the effects this proposed plant may have on Clarington,
Courtice, and the Nuclear Plant. There will be public meetings and information sessions
coming up in the near future in Courtice - please plan to attend.
Date/Time/Location will be listed here as soon as available.
For more information, contact Libby at (905) 436-2376
2 meetings have already taken place in Oshawa,
even though Courtice will be impacted most. It will affect:
all of Courtice
Our Waterfront
Darlington Generating Nuclear Station water
quality intake
Tooley Creek Watershed
Durham Region decided for us that this new plant
will provide the Region with greater flexibility to accommodate increases in the
population target in the Official Plan. This project will need construction of a trunk
sewer northerly through Courtice, allowing
the development of Courtice, Oshawa and Whitby. It will
convey wastewater & sludge storage from these areas.
Think about it. We don't have services needed
now; our roads are crumbling away; we are serviced by a part-time Fire Department &
staff...and they want to bring more development here.
Water Pollution Plant in Courtice - call Tom
Sloley - (905) 668-7721,ext. 5289
or call Libby
(905) 436-2376 for Questionnaire to fill out to send to Durham Region.
HIGHWAY 407
Is Highway 407 a costly white
elephant threatening the future health of our communities?
