Director's Report to Public Works Committee.
ITEM: WD-79-80.
DATE: May 29, 1980.
-----------------------
SUBJECT: Lakeshore Erosion Control Study.
Background:
In 1978 Council uuUzocioe6 the undertaking of u Lakeshore Erosion
Control Study and the Guoacueka Ke&inu Conservation Authority was
requested to make provision in their 1979 Budget to carry out same.
The Study has now been completed and is atLod`ed.
Report:
The Study Area (defined on Figure l of the attached) consists of
1`100 feet of lakeabnre, and two alternative control measures are
presented, together with Cost Estimates (as of January, 1980) ` as
follows:
(i) KnuJ Relocation $]59,0X), 00**
(ii) Erosion PcoLccL1ou 1196,000. 00
*�
In respect of (i) , above, the estimated coat of $150"00, 80 is
inclusive of n $5,000. 00 allowance for ]onJ acquisition; however,
in my opinion, the IuLtcz figure would ocon in be rather conserv-
ative.
It is possible problems may he encountered if road relocation is
considered, an concerns have already been expressed by local res-
idents in this zeQard. However, if the decision was to undertake
this measure, and if such action is approved by the Ministry of
Transportation 6 Communications, the project would be eligible for
Provincial subsidy.
Erosion Protection is generally [c]t by senior government o&cucico
to be the responsibility of the local municipality, who are expected
to adopt remedial solutions within their own financing structure;

however, if this course of action is taken, municipalities can
apply for assistance if it is considered that a particular pro-
ject is of sufficient financial magnitude, and can n.oL be acc-
ommodated without such assistance.
Recommendation:
THAT, upon consideration of the Lakeshore Erosion Control Study,
a remedial alternative be selected, and that sources of funding
and financial assistance be determined for consideration of the
project in 1981.
