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.

A Gale warning for Lake Erie has been issued by Government of Canada, Marine Forecast and Warnings on November 29 at 03:00 AM. The possibility exists for damaging winds through

Today Tonight and Wednesday.  Wind south 15 knots (28km/hr.) increasing to south 20 knots (37km/hr.) near noon and to south 30 knots (56km/hr.) near midnight. Wind increasing to southwest 35 knots (65km/hr.) Wednesday morning.

Today Tonight and Wednesday.  Waves 0.5 metres or less building to 0.5 to 1 metres early this morning and to 2 metres overnight. Waves building to 3 to 4 metres near noon Wednesday.

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.

Lake Erie water elevation observed at Port Stanley at 5:15 AM Tuesday November 29,

  • 0.76m above chart datum (present Lake Erie water level 174.26m).

A possible wave uprush up to 174.38 metres elevation along the Waneeta Beach area, Port Bruce Provincial Park beach and the harbour areas has the potential to cause shoreline erosion.

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.

 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 December 1 at which time it will expire.

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.
