You don't flood private…

You don't flood private property and then designate them Provincially Significant Wetlands. In our area that's exactly what is happening. In 1981 the RVCA, Moe and the city agreed to give water discharge permits to quarry operators north of us without first contacting downstream riparian property owners for consent forms to be filled out to whether or not they would allow this extra water through their properties, millions of liters per day. No property owner was ever contacted.
Wetlands are being artificially created on the backs of private property owners , devaluing their lands without compensation.
The water coming through a 7ft diameter culvert full to capacity in the spring run off one concession road north of us is expected to go through a 3ft culvert on the next concession road south of it.
Result, the 3ft culvert gets completely submerged by over a foot of water completely flooding private property above it.
A diversion was created in 2005 taking water from this drain through a height of land to our drain system,a different watershed, increasing waters in our drain 10 times the amount it was meant to handle, causing flooding in our area. Engineers report says it all.
I had a PSW designation removed by MNR from my property and many of my neighbors which was jncorrectly applied to use.
Our Conservation Authority's are not friends to rural property owners.
They have failed to fulfill their mandate for years, contributing to flooding, not preventing it.
The powers they have should be removed, and not be given more, or remove Conservation Authorities all together.
