Oak Ridges Moraine watershed plans being finalized

  

We have revised the watershed plans for the Nonquon River, Southern Lake Scugog Tributaries, Blackstock Creek, and East Cross Creek watersheds in Scugog (see map below), in order to incorporate the input we received at open houses and during a consultation period that ended in November.  

 

Thank you to everyone who provided input! 

 

The revised plans are available for review until January 15, 2012, before they are finalized.

The plans have been developed in partnership with Durham Region, supporting the direction contained within the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. The plans identify watershed conditions, environmental stresses and threats, and give watershed-wide direction for protecting and sustaining watershed features. The plans will provide a current information resource for municipalities, consultants, developers, landowners and resource users.
