With Reference to the attached letter from the
Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority.
Due to the rain storm in Parch, considerable
damage was done to the hanks of the creek and the area surroundinJ;
the creek in Orono Park.
Ibis Deparriment did its utmost to vcti ry the
situation. First we had to drain tho water out or the hole the
storm left and secondly we dumped some gravel , rocks etc. to help
rill the space.
Mr. ,Jack Dunham, Director of Public Works
investigated the site and agreed with me that we reel"ired heavy Fill .
There was to he a worksproject corning in the Orono Area and they could
dump fill from that project into Orono Park.

erosion along the creek banks. I met with James. A. Powat , Resources

Dear Sir:
Re : Erosion Control, centennial Park , Orono, Town of Newcastle ,
Your File No: 105-B
A portion of the above erosion control project in Centennial
Park, Orono, was carried out by the Authority staff with the
assistance of the Towns staff and backhoe . Larly freeze up
this year prevented the completion of the project.
All the materials for the project have been purchased. Approximately
four to five tons of gabion stone are still piled on site . We
will arrange for the Authority staff to complete the project first
thing next Spring. There has been some damage to the lawn adjacent
to the work site which will be repaired upon completion of the
project next Spring.
As mentioned, all the materials for the project have been purchased.
An invoice is enclosed since we understand that the cost of the
project has been budgeted this year (1980 ) .
We regret that the project was not able to be completed this year,
but we hope you can appreciate the circumstances .
Yours truly,
6y J.�II 4 ��i'�" .
