Water Test Highlights 1997-2001

Upstream from TCH
(PWMG 28)

old quarry, water main leaks, McLaughlin reservoir ?, inadequate fording sites (bank erosion), clear cutting, garbage Alkalinity, E-Coli
Just above confluence on Crowley Farm Road
(PWMG 64)
tide, road runoff, wetlands, clear cutting, gabage, inadequate fording sites (bank erosion), water main leaks, Ogilvie Brook (golf course?) Alkalinity, Chloride, Conductivity, E-Coli, Iron, Manganese, Suspended Solids, Phosphorus, Turbidity

Recommended preliminary classification:

Class B : Upstream from Trans-Canada Highway
Class C : Downstream from Trans-Canada Highway
Class B : Ogilvie Brook and McLaughlin reservoir area

Recommended actions:

>> create adequate fording sites at ATV crossings;
>> mitigate the impacts of the quarry at Crowley Rd.;
>>fix existing water main leaks;
>> plant vegetation and place bank stabilization structures at areas where excessive erosion was surveyed;
>> conduct water sampling in Ogilvie Brook to identify sources of excessive nutrients;
>> ensure that the wetlands located immediately upstream and downstream from Crowley Farm Rd. are conserved;
>> clean up garbage along the brook (especially around TCH abutments);
>> encourage the creation of conservation areas/green spaces;
>> conserve all wetland areas;
>> reduce and eventually phase out the use of cosmetic pesticides.
