The Proposed Beaver Valley Village Subdivision and Our Water
Your executive has been actively monitoring the progress of the Beaver Valley Village subdivision application, which supports a 45-lot subdivision, on individual septic systems and individual wells, on a 29.7 Ha area bounded by Windy Lane, Bowles Bluff Road and the 7th Line.
Having studied the documentation for this application, it is our opinion that the applicant’s studies are neither extensive enough nor thorough enough to provide assurance that future development will not negatively affect the quality and quantity of water for property owners in the area of the proposed subdivision.
Additional agency and peer reviewer comments are anticipated. We will continue to monitor the process. In the meantime, we are researching the feasibility of retaining our own groundwater expert to help promote BVRA concerns to Municipality and County decision makers and, if appropriate, to the Ontario Municipal Board.
