I have read the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, this Phosphorous Reduction Strategy, and the Shoreline Protection Regulation Discussion Paper. There are stringent regulations for municipalities with regards to Sewage Treatment Plants and Stormwater Management Works (ie. ponds).

All this is useless if it excludes golf courses. Such 'wholesale' users must be controlled.

I am greatly concerned by the fact that the plan to reduce phosporous levels in Lake Simcoe addresses only the phosporous entering the lake through tributaries.
