Spring/Summer 2017 Newsletter
Greetings from the President: Larry Bowen
I would like to extend a warm welcome back to the lake for those of you who were not able or did not winter over. Yes
Spring has arrived and along with it the highest recorded water level since data collection began on a regular basis in
1943.
Overland flooding was reported in our area on 21 April. The Parks Canada office at Smiths Falls tried to strike the right
balance of water level this Spring by keeping Bobs Lake above the Full Supply level (the threshold at which damages can
begin to occur) because outflow had to be controlled to limit the impact downstream on Christie Lake. That did not
happen. It was reported that 1 log was removed on 5 May and 2 more logs on 6 May, then 1 log was inserted on15 May
(dates approximate). These were not the only logs moved in and out, only the ones we knew about and after the fact. The
unfortunate recipients of the outflow are Christie Lake and the Tay
River downstream from the dam. The flood damage battered bridge
footings, closed secondary and private roads, eroded shorelines,
impacted businesses, flooded some homes/cottages and tore away
docks. The CLA made a presentation at a Township meeting on 16
May for council to immediately apply to the Minister of Municipal
Affairs and Housing to activate the Disaster Recovery Assistance for
Ontarians Program. The council finally passed such a resolution on 23
May. Due to the significant impact that the recent flood has had on our
community we will be preparing and distributing a ‘Special Edition’
newsletter covering the event. Your input and photos would be most
welcome which you can send to any director.
I would like to convey a sincere thank you to those who passed along important information and photos, specifically
Penny Nault and Donna Walsh who collated all data and distributed it via Spotlight e-mails and posted data to our
website. I would also like to offer a special thank you to Paul Jordan who provided daily water level readings throughout
even though their home and business experienced record water levels. Mother Nature is definitely in charge.
There have been many rumours surrounding the Tay Valley Township waste sites, specifically the possibility of closing
those sites and replacing them with ‘curbside’ pick-up. This has caused a lot of controversy. The CLA has therefore
‘stood-up’ a Waste Management Committee, chaired by Gordon Hill, to address all aspects of the townships’ plans as
presented by their Waste Management Working Group. A CLA survey has been distributed to our community. Your
comments will be collated and a briefing developed to be presented at a township public meeting 24 June, location and
time to be advised and/or at a township Committee of the Whole open meeting - more to follow.
It has not been an easy decision but I will be stepping down from the position of president following our AGM in July. I
have enjoyed the challenges of this position. I cannot thank those of you enough who have supported the numerous
initiatives which have been undertaken during my three year tenure. I plan to continue to support the lake association as a
director if approved by the membership.

Don’t miss our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 15 July at 10AM at the Tay River Tent & Trailer Park. Our guest
speaker, travel historian Brian Gilhuly, will be presenting a talk titled “For Christie Lake, change trains at Glen Tay!”.
The usual refreshments will be provided prior to the start of the meeting. The focus of our AGMs has been to provide
more opportunity for dialogue between the membership and your executive. We need to hear from you so please come
out and join us.
We are all stewards of our lake!
Membership & Directory Committee: Penny Nault, Donna Walsh

Communications & Website Committee: Penny Nault
Well, April and May certainly was a busy time for us. We are fortunate to have the tools necessary to communicate with
our Lake Community during a challenging time such as the record flood of 2017. We took photos and posted them on the
website, posted time-sensitive flood-related documents on the website, communicated important updates via CLA
Spotlight News emails, updated the Home page water level gauge at least once a day and responded to many, many
questions. We thank the Jordan family for the provision of critical water level data while they themselves were faced with
unprecedented flooding to their cottages and property. I think I can speak for everyone when I say we are so very
thankful that their iconic bridge did not wash away.
3
Our Home page water level gauge received a dramatic face lift to accommodate the rising water
levels, most notably the addition of a ‘Flood’ zone.
On April 29
th we were at the low end of the ‘High’ zone at 155.02m. By May 12
th we reached a
record high at 155.81m. In this two-week span, the water level had risen .79m (79cm or 31 inches).
Because there is so much material on the flood, the Communications & Website Committee have
decided to produce a special edition newsletter entitled ‘The Christie Lake Flood of 2017’. It will
cover all aspects of the flood and will be printed in colour. To encourage enrolment/membership
renewal, a free hard copy will be given to those who enroll or renew their 2017 CLA Membership.
Additional hard copies will be available at cost. We are asking everyone to submit photos
(properties, roads, shorelines, floaters) and/or stories that you would be willing to share. Please
send them to Donna Walsh at [email protected] .
Marker Buoys: Donna Walsh
Placement of shoal markers has begun on the main body of the lake and will be completed shortly. Note that
CLA does not place shoal markers in bays. Our thanks go out to Ray and Apryle Patterson for placing the
markers for all our safety!
Of special note this year, due to the flooding there are additional hazards to be aware of; from up-rooted full
sized trees, dock and raft pieces, to floating debris. Extra caution is advised.
After the Flood: From Tay Valley Township
Before Moving Back In
Once the flood waters have receded:
The regular water supply has been inspected and officially declared safe for use.
Every flood-contaminated room has been thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and surface-dried.
All contaminated dishes and utensils have been thoroughly washed and disinfected - either by using boiling water or
by using a sterilizing solution of one part chlorine bleach to four parts water. Rinse dishes and utensils thoroughly.
The sewage system should not be used until the water in the septic drain field is below the distribution pipes. If the
system must be used, conserve water as much as possible while the system attempts to restore itself as the ground
water table falls.
Repairing Structures
Steps to take if you need to repair your house after the flood:
Check with the municipality regarding the requirement for a building permit for your project.
Your property is most likely in an area regulated by your local Conservation Authority (i.e. river or stream, valley,
inland lake shorelines, hazardous lands, watercourses and wetlands). If minor building repairs are required such as
replacing flooring or drywall, then permits or approval will not be required from the Conservation Authority.
If repairs, reconstruction or renovations are required (including, foundation repairs, reconstruction or replacement,
outer wall construction, deck replacement, additions or other structural change or alteration to the residence) then
review, permits or approval will be required from the local Conservation Authority.
4
Review/approvals may also be required for any repairs, modifications, reconstruction relating to property grading,
auxiliary buildings, shoreline retaining walls and/or dock structures.
Flood waters can weaken walls or even ceiling structures. If you are concerned or suspect that the structural integrity
of your home may be compromised, leave the area and contact a structural engineer to assess the situation.
Disposing of garbage and debris from lawn or house
Garbage and debris can be disposed of at the Glen Tay Waste Site. Regular disposal requirements and fees apply. Keep
a copy of all of your receipts to submit to your insurance company and any funding assistance program.
Disposing of sand and/or sand bags from your property.
Sand and/or sandbags can be returned to the Burgess Public Works Garage and placed in the designated area.
After The Flood Resources:
The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority
The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) offers grants to landowners for various projects under the
Rural Clean Water Program. If your property has been affected by flooding you may be eligible for shoreline, septic
and well restoration. Contact the RVCA for program information at 613-692-3571 or 1-800-267-3504 or visit the following link
http://www.rvca.ca/programs/rcwp/rvca_rcwp.html.
Lanark County Social Services
Lanark County Social Services have many programs that they administer, from emergency funding to housing issues. If
your property has been affected by flooding and you are in need of assistance to pay bills, a call to Social Services will
be able to fit you with the right program or even provide you information on other organizations that may be of assistance
to your particular needs.
Contact Social Services at 613-267-4200 ext. 2140 or visit the following link http://www.lanarkcounty.ca/Page1924.aspx.
Letter submitted by Lake Resident: Blake Farmer
May 30th, 2017 Christie Lake Association Inc. Christie Lake Ont.,
Re: Flooding of Christie Lake by Parks Canada
I would like to commend and congratulate the Christie Lake Association (CLA) for your courageous presentation of May
16th to Tay Valley Township (TVT) council on behalf of Christie Lake property owners who suffered tremendous damage
during this year’s unprecedented and seemingly deliberate flooding of our lake by Parks Canada (PC) an agency under the
direction of the department of Environment and Climate Change Canada; the Hon. Catherine McKenna is the minister in
charge [email protected]
For those cottagers, residents and property owners unable to attend the meeting, portions of it were carried on CTV
Ottawa News; a brief review of that meeting can also be found on line in the official meeting minutes at TVT Council
The spring of 2017 was filled with record rainfalls and severe flooding along many major waterways including the
Ottawa, Rideau, Mississippi and Tay rivers. Over the years we have all become accustomed to the gradual draw down of
Christie Lake water levels beginning in the late summer and continuing into fall and winter; a check with the Rideau
Waterways website http://www.rideau-info.com/canal/water-manage2.html helps us understand that PC, a federal
government agency that manages the water levels in Christie and Bob’s Lake (amongst many others) has developed a
fairly detailed water level management plan to ensure safe navigation of the UNESCO World Heritage Rideau Canal. The
5
strategy at PC is seemingly to slowly drain down the supply lakes to the Rideau during the navigation season of May 24th
to Thanksgiving to provide ample water for navigation.
A few years ago, in an effort to assist Christie Lake property owners better manage the ups and downs of very high to
very low water levels, I recommended that the Christie Lake Association (CLA) survey its membership and (if found
appropriate) recommend that TVT send a request to PC that during the renewal and reconstruction of the Bolingbroke
Dam on the inlet portion of the Tay River between Bob’s and Christie Lakes that they also construct a small spillway dam
at an appropriate location along the outlet portion of the Tay River. The purpose of this spillway was to hold the level of
Christie Lake at a level more desirable to property owners (tax payers) while at the same time to not impede the outflow
of water during spring runoff or flooding (such as this spring).
For those property owners that have never seen Christie Lake a full 55 inches above the level it was when we closed up
last Thanksgiving I can assure you it was the worst possible situation. Mr. Paul Jordan of Jordan’s Cottages was also at
that council meeting of 16 May; along with many others; equally outraged and stunned by the complete absence of
concern or coordinated effort from TVT, PC and the RVCA.
At this council meeting I learned that TVT has an Emergency Response Plan http://www.tayvalleytwp.ca/en/resident-
services/emergency-preparedness.asp; but I was astonished to learn that NO ONE at TVT considered the flooding of
Christie Lake enough of an emergency to bother to break the glass on the plan in order to get help for the property owners
of Christie Lake (I guess that the approx $1.3M Christie Laker’s pay in property taxes doesn’t impress enough to warrant
action). On Friday May 19th I was able to connect with our elected Provincial representative, the Hon. Randy Hillier
Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) http://www.randyhilliermpp.com/
Mr. Hillier was very responsive to my concerns; chief amongst them was that the flooding of Christie Lake was very
different than the other parts of Ontario and Quebec that had been flooded mostly by massive spring rains. While it can
be argued that the rains contributed to the flooding of Christie I tend to believe that the flooding of Christie Lake was
primarily caused by Parks Canada water management policy and a structurally unsound century old dam scheduled for
replacement eons ago but delayed yet again. Mr. Hillier responded that he had already been contacted by Mr. Paul Jordan
and in concert with our federal MP, the Hon. Scott Reid, the two of them had already toured several flooded properties on
Christie.
During our lengthy conversation there were several points made.
Seasonal, permanent and business owners of Christie Lake are all taxpayers and as such must be treated with
respect, importance and given equal opportunities for assistance from all levels of government.
Many property owners on Christie Lake are also non residents, many of them Americans who also deserve the
same respect and level of assistance as every other property owner.
The announcement from TVT and the RVCA that Christie Lake property owners who suffered damage must first
obtain and pay for RVCA agreement then TVT (and possibly other governmental organizations) is insulting.
Finally, that action must be taken so that this deliberate flooding will not happen again.
Mr. Hillier promised to speak with officials at TVT and within the provincial authorities to help with assistance and
financial relief through the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians Programs (DRAOP) and other opportunities. In
the past few weeks since our conversation, several announcements of assistance have been made. I applaud Mr. Hillier
for his efforts.
In conclusion I have a bit of a laundry list to share with the CLA. The goal of this list is to provide short term assistance
and improved long term planning and strategy to Christie Lake property owners to ensure that this “once in a life time”
event remains just that;
1. The inclusion of the CLA as an equal partner for any and all discussions going forward.
2. Recognition that Christie flooding was different than other Ottawa valley flooding.
3. Admission of accountability and liability for damages by PC and TVT.
4. Compensation for all impacted residents and businesses on Christie for property and structural damages (shoreline
erosion, watercraft, docks and dwellings).
5. Compensation to TVT and private individuals/businesses for infrastructure damages (roads and bridges).
6. Zero requirements for permitting and RVCA approvals required to return damaged properties to pre-flood
condition.
7. Recognition that constant flooding creates unsustainable stress on wildlife and fish stocks.
6
8. Replacement of lost fish stocks due to flooding.
9. Development of a long term solution that includes a functioning emergency plan at TVT.
10. The building of a spillway on the exit of Christie lake that will regulate the lake levels between “Lowest
comfortable level” of 154.6M and the “Highest comfortable level” of 155.2M with the “Just Right level” at or
near 154.9M
And finally; the immediate replacement of the century old log and concrete dam at Bolingbroke with a modern,
controllable dam NOW!!
Sincerely, Blake Farmer Christie Lake
CLA Waste Management Committee: Gordon Hill
Proposed changes to the Tay Valley Township (TVT) Waste Management Plan
As if dealing with flood damage was not enough of a challenge, changes to TVT’s proposed waste management plan may
make our lives even more difficult.
1 Background Information
At meetings held in early to mid-March, with almost no public notice, Councillors approved a plan to switch to roadside
garbage collection for some, but not all, household waste from the current program which requires TVT residents to
deliver all of their waste and recyclables to one of three TVT waste sites. The plan, which was to be effective January 1,
2018, was a “done deal” – until public pressure, spearheaded by CLA, forced Council to defer the proposed garbage
collection program pending receipt of additional and improved financial information and until after a public meeting had
been held to assess public input and reaction. That public meeting is scheduled for Saturday, June 24, 2017 (time and
place to be advised). The Chairman of the TVT Waste Management Group advised recently that, depending on the input
and reaction of TVT residents, the plan may or may not proceed and that all of the terms of the plan are up for grabs.
Some of the key elements of the plan, as originally approved by Council but now subject to change, include:
1.1 There will be no roadside pick-up for those who live on private roads.
1.2 For those who access their properties by private road, pickup will take place from dumpsters (size, shape, and
design as yet unknown) which will be placed at the intersection of each public road (e.g. Hanna Road, Althorpe Road,
Christie Lake North Shore Road) and each private road (e.g. Sleepy Hollow Lane, Christie Lake Lane 22). There are
approximately 261 private roads in TVT.
1.3 The waste sites at Stanleyville and Maberly will be closed to the public, but not officially closed
because they may be needed in future. The Glen Tay waste site (“the GT waste site”) will be the only waste site in
use in TVT.
Loon nest and egg at height of flood.
Nest abandoned when water receded as
loons could no longer climb up to it
7
1.4 TVT residents will not be permitted to take their household waste or recyclables to the GT waste
site, except for glass (bottles, window panes, etc.) and special items such as tires, large appliances, electronics, brush,
construction waste, etc. TVT residents must separate glass waste from other garbage and take it to the GT waste site
where it will be crushed and buried in the landfill.
1.5 The Township proposes to charge a specified amount (probably $2.50 per bag) for each bag of household waste.
There will be no charge for cardboard, paper, recyclable plastic or metal cans, or for delivering glass to the GT waste site.
Clear plastic bags bearing TVT logos or TVT garbage tags may be purchased at the Township offices. The current policy
of allowing 1 free bag of waste garbage for each bag or blue box of recyclables will be discontinued. TVT will no longer
provide 25 free tags or bags per year.
2 Concerns
Your CLA directors are concerned that, if the plan is implemented as originally proposed and approved:
2.1 TVT will spend close to $500,000 on capital equipment to implement roadside pick-up. Yet it claims that its cost
to implement and manage roadside pick-up and eliminate all but the GT waste site will be approximately equal to its
current costs – except for the garbage bag charges which are, effectively, another tax. However, at the moment, capital
cost estimates and revenue and expense projections are woefully incomplete and have little, if any, back-up
documentation. Missing financial information includes: cost of transporting compactors from Maberly and Stanleyville to
the GT waste site and retrofitting them, and the current GT waste site compactor, for top loading; cost of 261 dumpsters;
cost of levelling the ground on the sides of the public roads to hold dumpsters; cost of cleaning dumpsters periodically;
cost of cleaning up litter along roadsides; the amount of additional tax dollars required each year as a “reserve” to replace
new capital items at the end of their useful lives (e.g. two new trucks, transporting and retrofitting of the three compactors
that TVT now owns, ramps, etc.); if their useful lives are amortized over 10 years, TVT will be required to collect an
additional $50,000 tax dollars (approximately) each year for reserves; no allowance has been made for the cost of
gasoline, licensing, insurance, drivers’ education, maintenance and repairs; no allowance has be made for the cost of a
back-up vehicle if one or both of the garbage collection trucks should be forced out of service; The last paragraph on page
5 of TVT Report #PW-2017-07 indicates that the roadside collection program will require an additional 1700 hours of
employee time per year, but that additional labour cost has not be included in TVT’s costs estimate. At $30.00 per hour
(for union employees) those additional hours would cost $51,000 per year, even more if those extra hours require
overtime pay.
2.2 TVT is establishing different levels of service for its residents based upon the roads upon which they live, all at
the same tax cost. Waterfront residents, who have paid more than their fair share of taxes over the years, are being
expected, once again, to settle for a lesser service, but at the same tax cost.
2.3 Dumpsters must be sturdy enough to withstand the ravages of bears and racoons, and must be large enough to
handle heavy garbage loads generated on long weekends.
2.4 Some, perhaps including some who live beyond TVT’s borders, may place one or more waste garbage bags
without a TVT logo or tag in a dumpster, or may place large non-recyclable items (couches, TV sets, mattresses, etc.) in
or beside the dumpsters. How will TVT police that activity? What will happen to the garbage improperly bagged or
tagged or left outside the dumpster?
2.5 Dumpsters will attract animals of all kinds, some of which may pose risk of harm to children at near-by cottages
or at school bus pick-up locations at the end of private roads, and to walkers, joggers and cyclists.
2.6 The new program will likely increase the amount of litter along the roadside. [NOTE: TVT has committed to
pick up the litter, but how long will it take for it to do so and what will it cost the township?]
2.7 Dumpsters may be unsightly, will likely be malodourous in the summer heat and will need to be
cleaned regularly; and
8
2.8 Roadside pickup may be the death knell of the Reuse Centre if TVT residents seldom travel to the GT waste site
to deal with their waste and recyclables.

Stephen Keeley, TVT’s Public Works Manager.
