Dear Si r:
This letter will follow up our meeting of Tuesday, July 23rd which
was in response to your letter of July 10th regarding the status of
this Authority's Area,s within the Town of Newcastle.
This Authority presently has fourteen Conservation Areas totalling
in area 2,921 acres, of which six are within the Town of Newcastle
and total 1,472 acres in area.
Proceeding in a point form review from south to north, these areasare:
1) Bowmanvi.11e Harbour C. A. - presently totalling 82 acres, in 1985
we reconstructed a public boat launch ramp. For 1986 we are pro -
posing land acquisition plus construction of a walkway and vault
toilets and installation of picnic items (tables, barbecues) and
a sign.
2) Bowmanville Valley C. A. - presently totalling 74 acres, due to
budget cutback no works were completed in this Area in 1985. Prior
to further construction, the Authority would have to acquire fur-
ther properties and is hopeful of some acquisition in 1986.
3) Stephen's Gulch C. A. - presently totals 325 acres. In 1985 we
commenced construction of a parking site in order to service anglers
and cross- country skiiers. No construction works are proposed for
1986.
4) Hampton C. A. - presently totalling 21 acres. This Authority's
Chief Administrative Officer is responding to enquiries from the
CENTRAL LAKE ONTARIO CONSERVATION AUTHORITY

5) Enniskillen C. A. - presently totalling 160 acres. In 1985 we
installed a prefabricated pedestrian bridge; in 1986 we propose
to install water and electrical services to our northern picnic
site in order to meet the demand for use of the Area.
6) Long Sault C. A. - presently totalling 810 acres. In 1985 we
constructed an addition to the main parking lot. No works have
been included in our 1986 preliminary proposals.
The 1986 works mentioned above are very preliminary in nature and
await Province of Ontario- Ministry of Natural Resources, and Central
Lake Ontario Conservation Authority budgetary approval before becoming
a scheduled project. All works conform to the masterplans for the
Conservation Areas which, with some updating, will be re- forwarded to
the Minister of Natural Resources for approval as a long term develop-
ment guideline document. (No such approvals have been forthcoming
for several years,however, now, the back log of requests for approvals
may be alleviated).
As indicated to you, all annual development proposals must be backed -up
with demand and use statistical information and where we have a mutual
interest (local or regional) in seeing certain projects to reality,
then hopefully we can work together and share statistical information.
I hope the above is the information you desire and look forward to
working with you in the future.
Yours truly,
R. D. Clow,
Conservation Areas Manager.
