New checklist, fact sheet offer landowners, contractors more details on what’s needed when applying for proposed shoreline protection works

The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) Board of Directors has approved a new fact sheet with information for landowners and contractors who are proposing shoreline protection works; and a new Checklist for Applications for Shore Protection.

The conservation authority requires permits for shoreline works proposed to prevent erosion. Providing more detail about what’s required for a permit application can help to expedite the application process and ensures the application process is consistent, according to ABCA staff.

“We feel it will be easier and faster for applicants to obtain permit approval if they know ahead of time what information is required,” said Geoffrey Cade, ABCA Manager of Water and Planning.

The board approved the two documents at its regular board meeting held on September 20, 2018.

The new checklist includes details about what’s needed in terms of drawings and plans and other submission requirements.

The fact sheet outlines application submission requirements, application fees, and ABCA’s application review process for shoreline protection.
