For example, one property owner recently purchased 27,000 acres of land, but was only able to submit 1 report for the entire property. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the population of seasonal residents not reporting in the area during the off season also be taken into consideration, as there is potential that they are unaware of the reporting process. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County of Hastings take the necessary steps to accurately interpret the devastation of the Gypsy Moth Caterpillar by way of geographical consideration along with the online reporting method to ensure accurate and beneficial spraying to combat this problem is undertaken.

Est.

Beach Condition Over the last four or five years the shoreline of Lake Ontario seems to have changed drastically each year. As you will recall, in 2017 the water level was at its highest point since 1947, whereas in 2018 it was quite low. In 2019 the water level was high again and in 2020 it was rather low. This past summer of 2021 the water was also very low making for a larger, flatter and sandier beach which was much more pleasing to our many visitors and, of course, our community. The Covid-19 Pandemic Again, the ongoing pandemic (the worst since the Great Spanish Flu of 1919) had repercussions on the use of our park. Since most of the other lakeshore beaches, including Cobourg (on a limited scale), were open, we did not experience the vast crowds of last year, and the resulting problem regarding parking spots did not occur. Still, a large number of people did come to the beach with upwards of 100 coming and going during the day on most Saturdays and Sundays. Weekdays are more subdued, but are still enjoyed by all visitors. Most of the visitors come in the form of family groupings that come on a regular basis. We are glad to report that the existing facilities, e.g. toilets, parking, and boardwalks, are adequate for the number of people using the park, and in our opinion need not be increased at the present time. However, since all but one of the wooden benches placed on the lakefront have been washed away by the high water, it would be nice if they could be replaced in order to give visitors a place to sit while they visit the beach. As reported last year, the Works Department, the Parks Department, By-law Enforcement, and the Police and Fire Services, do a great job in maintaining the park, keeping it clean, and safe, for all to enjoy. mprove ments This year our community again made many improvements to our cottages, including upgrading, painting and installing metal roofs. One small cottage received extensive renovations inside and out of the structure much to the credit of its owners. As well, sand was raked, grass cut, flowers planted, and brush 111 and stones removed. Again, like last year, two of our coninu1111ty members, Gail and Chuck MacDonald, went out every morning to pick up any rubbish left on the beach. On most days, they do not find much garbage as most of the people visiting the park are considerate and put any refuse in the trash bin. Social Events The annual Horseshoe Tournament was again the Red Letter Day on the social calendar of West Beach with twenty-fOUI' participants and almost fifty spectators. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic social distancing rules were observed. All those in attendance had a wonderful time. During July and August many visitors enjoyed the beach, including several groups doing yoga, playing volleyball, and engaging in other sports. Adults and children made use of the exceptionally warm water along the shore of Lake Ontario, swimming and building sandcastles. There are also several groups Of surf boarders, kayakers, and kite -surfers that come to the beach. The kite -surfers' aerial acrobatics are enjoyed by one and all. One kite -surfer, or kite -boarder, who came from Mississauga, told me that Bowmanville Beach is the best location for the sport he has ever seen. All in all, it was a great sunlirler in the park, with absolutely no problems of any sort. All our visitors just have fun and enjoy the peaceful tranquility of our beautiful beach. It should be noted that our good friends the by-law officers were in regular attendance and, compared with last year, they had less to do. Nevertheless, their presence and the attention they pay to the park is one of the main reasons things are as quiet as they are at the beach. We, as a community, extend our thanks and gratitude to all of them. Special Visitors This year our community was pleased and honoured to have visits from Mayor Adrian foster, as well as CO1111CIllors Granville Anderson, Margaret Zwart, and Ron Hooper. We also had visits from former councillor, Willie Woo, and our very special friend Ms. Faye Langmaid. As well, Brent Pascoe, of the Parks Department, was a frequent visitor, we especially thank him for the help and assistance he has extended to our conlnlunity and those using the park over the last few years. As a personal note, I will add that a few years ago a town official said he thought the park on our beach was supposed to be a "people's place" and insinuated that the continued existence of the cottage community was sonleho\v detrimental to the concept of the beach being a people's place. With upwards of 500 people coming throughout each week during the summer to enjoy the beach, I would say that, if this is not a. people's place, I have never seen one. As to our being a detriment to the park, just ask any of the people who use the park, and our neighbours up the road, and I am sure they would say we are certainly not a detriment to the beach, but in fact a great asset, which has helped to make the park become the great success story that it has become. In closing, I would again stress how well this arrangement between our conlnlunity and the Municipality of Clarington has worked out since Port Darlington Park was first created over thirteen years ago, and how happy we, and the general public who use the beach, are with the results. We, as a CommUlllty, again invite all membel's of Clarington COUI1Cil, the Municipal staff, and of course the public to visit us at any time in the dream park on the beach that we all love so much. 1 ani looking forward to the continuation of this great mutual arrangement and the preservation of OUI' cottage C0111111U111ty for many years to come. I remain respectfully yours, G.F. Cole President of the West Beach Association P.S. If you have any questions or comments, call me at any tinge. 3 T From: Barry Bracken To: EABDirector(c Ontario.ca; infoCabdurhamyorkwaste.ca Cc: clerks(aldurham.ca; ClerksExternalEmail Subject: DYEC Throughput Increase - Request for an Individual Environment Assessment Date: February 17, 2022 6:37:30 PM [You don't often get email from beav201@yahoo.ca. Learn why this is important at http://aka. ms/LeamAboutSenderldentification. ] Below, we are expressing our concerns that the Regions have failed to adequately access the health and ecological impacts of burning an additional 20,000 tonnes of garbage per year.For your information, we have been following the incinerator project since 2007. I (Barry) personally have made several delegations to Durham. Council and Committees during the early years of this project. We witnessed numerous delegations by community doctors, one of who was a Geneticist. Also nurses and a professor of Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology. Since that time I have continued to follow this closely but, due to age etc., in a reduced manner. The Environmental Screening is a proponent driven process and it seems that, as a result, several areas of concern have not been included and should have been addressed. We witnessed most of the delegations made by community residents. They described the shortcomings of various reports on this proposal and other incinerator issues. We feel the response of Region's staff and Council have been inadequate. Perhaps most important is the lack of a thorough Health Assessment. Some of the other areas of concern include ambient air exceedance of particulate matter, Benzopyrene, Sulphur Dioxide and especially Dioxins and Furans. Another area of great concern is that Durham Region failed (without adequate explanation) to release all the long term sampling results of Dioxins and Furans from 2015 - 2019. Finally, all three PIC'S (Public Information Centres) events were held very early in the process. None of these events occurred after the release of the draft ESR and the current ESR so the public hasn't had the opportunity to comment on the essential details of the proposal. In conclusion, please consider the above to be a request that this proposal needs to be subject to an INDIVIDUAL ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT. Yours truly, Barry and Barbara Bracken Ir 111
