SUBJECT: First Public Notice ~T
Construction of a Fishway in the
Goodyear Dam, Bowmanville Creek
The Ministry of Natural Resources, in co-operation with the
Bowmanville Creek Angler's Association and Goodyear Canada, is
proposing to construct a fishway at the Goodyear Dam on
Bowmanville Creek. The project will improve access for lake-run
trout and salmon to the high quality spawning and nursery areas in
the middle sections of Bowmanville Creek. This will assist the
MNR to achieve its long-term objective of increasing fish
production through natural reproduction to accommodate increasing
demand for angling opportunities.
The project is being planned in accordance with the approved MNR
Class Environmental Assessment for Fishways. Such assessments are
intended to give interested and affected parties the opportunity
to provide input to the planning of such projects and to request,
if necessary, individual treatment under the Environmental
Assessment Act.
Please direct any inquiries, comments or concerns regarding the
Goodyear Dam Fishway proposal to the District Manager, Lindsay
District, by June 30, 1987.
Planning of the project will be continued and final notice issued
only to those who have .responded to this initial notice, and to
those who are directly affected.
For further information, please contact Dave Bell at this office.
Yours truly,
~~ s~~
