LAKE ERIE SHORELINE, WATERSHED CONDITIONS STATEMENT.

Effective immediately, the Catfish Creek Conservation Authority (CCCA) is issuing a Watershed Condition Statement for the shoreline of Lake Erie within CCCA’s administrative boundary.

Flood Status Water Safety

A Gale Warning for Lake Erie has been issued by Government of Canada, Marine Forecast and Warnings on Tuesday January 11, 2022 at 10:30 a.m. The possibility exists for damaging winds through today, tonight and Wednesday along the Lake Erie North Shore. Power outages are possible. Damage to buildings, such as roof shingles and windows, may occur. High winds may toss loose objects or cause tree branches to break.

Winds are west 10 knots (19km/hr) increasing to southwest 15 (28km/hr) near noon and to southwest 20 (37km/hr) this afternoon. Wind increasing to southwest 30 (56km/hr) early this evening and to southwest 35 (65km/hr) late this evening. Wind diminishing to southwest 30 (56km/hr) late overnight and to southwest 20 (37km/hr) Wednesday afternoon. Wind veering to west 15 (28km/hr) Wednesday evening.

Waves 0.5 to 1 metre building to 2 to 3 this evening then subsiding to 1.5 near noon Wednesday. Waves subsiding to 1 Wednesday evening.

Lake Erie water elevation observed at Port Stanley at 11:00 AM;

· 1.068m above chart datum (present Lake Erie water level 174.568m.)

A possible wave uprush of 174.918 metres elevation along the Waneeta Beach area, Port Bruce Provincial Park beach and the harbour areas has the potential to cause shoreline erosion and flooding.

Residents are asked to closely watch local conditions and take appropriate responsible action, and are urged to use caution and stay away from Lake Erie shoreline areas experiencing strong wave action and elevated water levels. Parents are reminded to keep children and pets away from these areas. Municipal flood coordinators are asked to monitor road conditions along the lakeshore.

This Watershed Condition Statement is in effect until 12::00 p.m., Thursday January 13, 2022. This is a reminder to be diligent, and watch local weather conditions and to take appropriate action when circumstances require.

CCCA continues to monitor watershed conditions and will issue updates and recommendations when or if necessary. CCCA always recommends taking any necessary precautions.

    PUBLIC NOTICE - ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTS IN PORT BRUCE

    PUBLIC NOTICE

    ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTS IN PORT BRUCE

    Catfish Creek Conservation Authority, request the co-operation of Port Bruce residents to remove all seasonal docks and support structures from the waters of Catfish Creek by December 15, 2023.  This request is to assist in reducing potential impacts as a result of flooding and/or in channel ice build-up.

     

    Leaving obstructions in the channel could accelerate ice build-up and adversely influence the movement of in channel ice through Port Bruce.  Channel flow patterns around obstructions may also accelerate creek-bank erosion during high run-off periods.  Boat docks dislodged due to flooding or ice jam events can pose a serious safety threat to the public.  In addition, we request that all other floatable objects such as; picnic tables, propane tanks, barrels, etc. are removed or secured within flood prone areas.

     

    Further inquiries relative to this matter may be directed to the attention of Mr. Peter Dragunas,

    Water Management Technician, Catfish Creek Conservation Authority, (519-773-9037 EXT 19).

     

    Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
