Point Clark Beach Association 2006

PETITION FOR ACTION - To the Local, Provincial and Federal Governments
During the Annual Meeting of the Point Clark Beach Association on August 12th 2006, the membership attendees requested that a Petition be circulated to draw support for the restoration of the Point Clark lakeshore, specifically, the improvement of water quality and beach conditions from Amberley Road to Pine River.
The sludge and foul odour at the waters edge have made beach areas unfit and unsafe for residents and tourists. A number of contributing factors have been identified: the current low lake level, the presence of man-made jetties, the invasion of the plant Common Reed, the rise in natural E. coli due to increased bird habitat/population, improperly maintained septic systems, manure and fertilizer run-off.
We, the undersigned, request that ecological studies be initiated immediately to provide the necessary data to determine long-term solutions to the pollution problem. These may or may not include the removal of rock jetties, mandatory septic inspections, containment of fertilizer and manure and the timely cutting and disposal of the Common Reed plant. All solutions will require the co-operation of permanent and seasonal residents, local farmers as well as all levels of government.

I am not a local resident but visit this area every year and feel strongly that the problem with high e-coli levels should be addressed, as this is an area of great beauty and not a place to dump animal waste or slurry.

Enviromental Rules and Regulations should ensure that the local municipalities are responsible to constantly monitor and clean up contaminated shorelines in their region. The health and safety of our citizens and animals should be a higher priority.

I wholeheartedly agree with the need for cleanup of the beach. We have been noticing a decline in the cleanliness of the beach and water for some time now. Thank you for arranging this petition.
