After weeks of digging….well I have not seen today’s news….but Mr Ford may be bringing it up…Without Prejudice ..I believe the Muskoka River Water Management Plan”, was up for renewal 2006. At that time I am highly suspicious liberal gov’t decided ..not to bother and rubber stamped it. .If you like the following ..highlights… free to read April 23 synopsis.
- The MNR controls the Lake Level using the following formula
- If the snow water content is >25% above normal on March 15 on the North Branch of the Muskoka River, lakes controlled by MNR will be lowered to the bottom of the Normal Operating Zone (NOZ).
- If snow pack water content is >50% above normal on March 15 on the South Branch of the Muskoka River, lakes controlled by MNR will be lowered to the bottom of the NOZ.
- If snow pack water content is >100% above normal on April 1 on both branches of the Muskoka River, lakes controlled by MNR will be lowered to the bottom of the LOZ (red line).
I’d like to point out that its the “Muskoka River Water Management Plan”, not the “Muskoka R. Flood Plan” and the distinction is important because the plan has absolutely nothing to do with managing floods, as evidenced by MNRF’s Mara Kerry’s interview in the Huntsville Doppler recently, as well as the details in the plan itself.
