The Elgin Clean Water Program (ECWP) was launched in 2012 as a collaborative initiative among the four
conservation authorities within Elgin County: Catfish Creek Conservation Authority, Kettle Creek Conservation
Authority, Long Point Region Conservation Authority and Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority. The
program provides landowners with technical expertise and financial incentives to support implementation of
on -the -ground projects that improve water quality and habitat conditions in Elgin County.
Program oversight is provided by a Review Committee responsible for evaluating and approving funding
applications. The committee is comprised of representatives from Elgin County, the Elgin Soil and Crop
Improvement Association, the Elgin Federation of Agriculture and an Elgin County landowner, ensuring
balanced representation and local perspective in program delivery.
The Elgin Clean Water Program funds a range of project categories designed to address priority environmental
concerns across the County, including:
Well Management 0 Wetland/Riparian Protection/Restoration
Erosion Control Structures 0 Livestock Management
Clean Water Diversion 0 Other Projects
In addition, a Cover Crop Incentive Program was introduced in 2017 to encourage farmers to plant cover crops
as a means of reducing soil erosion and phosphorus loss from agricultural fields over the winter months.
To date, 368 projects have been completed across Elgin County since the program began in 2012 with total
projects costs at $4,500,000. The ECWP has contributed $1,037,280 in grants to landowners to undertake
projects. CA staff have assisted landowners in leveraging the ECWP funding to obtain $2,240,127 in matching
funds and landowners have contributed $1,222,316 of their own funds, labour and/or equipment.
Page 9of21
In 2025, 28 projects were completed, totalling $103,635 in
Elgin Clean Water Program grants.
The breakdown of completed projects was as follows:
• 4 Erosion Control
• 2 Well Management
• 15 Wetland Creation
• 1 Livestock Management
• 2 Other (Tallgrass Prairie)
• 4 Cover Crop Establishment
To ensure the long-term success of previously funded projects and protect past investments, the Elgin Clean
Water Program introduced a new Maintenance Funding Category in 2025. This category provides financial
assistance to landowners for necessary repairs and maintenance to ECWP-supported projects, helping to
extend their lifespan and sustain environmental benefits such as improved water quality, erosion control,
and habitat protection.
Maintenance funding supports eligible activities including repairs to wetland and erosion control structures,
prescribed burns in tallgrass prairie restorations, and invasive species management. Projects are evaluated
on a case -by -case basis by the ECWP Review Committee to ensure funding is directed toward actions that
maintain or enhance environmental outcomes. By supporting ongoing stewardship, this new category
strengthens the long-term effectiveness of ECWP projects across Elgin County.

A 10-acre agricultural field along the Lake Erie bluffs that was experiencing significant erosion was retired
from production. The site was seeded with a diverse mix of native grasses and wildflowers to stabilize soils
and reduce erosion. In addition to improving shoreline resilience, the project created new habitat for
wildlife, including species at risk such as Eastern Meadowlark, Barn Swallow, and Bobolink.

Two well decommissioning projects were implemented to address safety
and groundwater quality concerns.
One involved a 36-inch dug well located at the base of a wooded slope and
in close proximity to an active well on the property. The second project
decommissioned a 70-year-old brick well that had not been used in more
than 40 years due to unsafe drinking water.
Both wells were properly decommissioned by a licensed well contractor in
accordance with Ontario Regulation 128/03.

The landowner wanted to establish a pasture for —40 cattle that were housed in a barn with poor ventilation.
Funding from the Elgin Clean Water Program supported the installation of a five -strand high tensile wire fence
along the watercourse on the property, preventing livestock access and protecting water quality. A minimum
10-foot setback was maintained, helping to reduce erosion, nutrient loading, and impacts to the riparian area.

Wetland creation remained the most funded project category in 2025 with 15 projects completed. Wetlands
were created across the County with projects in West Elgin, Dutton Dunwich, Southwold, Central Elgin,
Malahide and Bayham. These projects help buffer flood flows, reduce erosion, improve water quality, and
strengthen habitat networks throughout Elgin County.
Thank you to Elgin County and the Green Lane Community Trust Fund for funding the Elgin Clean Water
Program.

"The funding is always a great incentive for people to try to incorporate a new project."
• "The Elgin Clean Water Program was really important because it helps landowners do good projects on
our land, not just dream about them."
• "It was essential to have the conservation authority staff support this project and check in on it. They
also kept me up-to-date on anything that was happening and asked any questions that needed to be
answered from the landowner's perspective."
• "Cover crops are easy to implement and generate great rewards. Less soil erosion, better water
infiltration, more soil life, more wildlife habitat and better soil structure."

Report to County Council
From: Jeff Brooks, Manager of Emergency Management
Date: February 24, 2026
Subject: Live Fire Training Structure Rental Fee Schedule
Recommendation(s):
THAT a licence agreement between the County of Elgin and the Township of Southwold
for the use of land for the purpose of installing and operating a live -fire structure,
substantially in the form of Appendix "A" of the February 10, 2026 report titled "Land
Use Agreement for Fire Training Structure" be approved; and
THAT the fee structure contained in the report titled "Live Fire Training Structure Rental
Fee Schedule" dated February 24, 2026 be approved.
Introduction:
The County of Elgin will be installing a purpose-built Live Fire Training Structure to
enhance firefighter training capacity within the region. The facility represents a
significant investment in firefighter safety, skill development, and emergency
preparedness.
When the structure becomes operational, Council direction is required to formalize a fair
and sustainable user fee framework that supports both local municipal partners and
external agencies while ensuring cost recovery and long-term viability.
Backaround and Discussion:
The Live Fire Training Structure will be located at the Talbotville Fire Station in the
Township of Southwold. The Township provides access to the property, utilities, hydrant
water supply, and ancillary facilities required to support live fire evolutions.
To ensure equitable cost sharing:
Elgin County Municipalities
Municipalities within the County will access the structure at a cost recovery rate,
limited to the direct costs established by Southwold for:
Page 15 of 21
Water usage
o Facility use
o Associated operational expenses
This approach reflects the collaborative spirit among lower -tier partners and ensures no
additional financial burden beyond actual incurred costs.
• External Municipalities
For municipalities outside the County of Elgin, a standardized daily rate is
proposed-
0
$800 per day when the municipality provides its own trained operator
qualified on the structure.
o $1,000 per day when the operator is supplied by the Elgin Middlesex Fire
School.
o Additional fees for cost recovery of consumable costs for
specialized training.
The differential accounts for personnel costs, scheduling, and administrative
coordination when a certified operator is required.
This model balances accessibility with responsible asset management while preserving
priority access for Elgin County partners.
Financial Implications:
The proposed fee structure:
Ensures full recovery of Southwold's direct costs for in -county users.
• Generates revenue from users external to Elgin County to offset:
• Structure maintenance
o Administrative coordination
o Consumable materials
o Long-term lifecycle replacement planning
• Revenue generated through rental fees from municipalities external to Elgin
County will reduce reliance on County tax levy support for ongoing operations
and would assist in offsetting the cost of amortization.
Annual monitoring of usage and maintenance expenditures will determine whether
adjustments are required to maintain sustainability.
Page 16 of 21
Advancement of the Strategic Plan:
The Live Fire Training Structure directly advances Council's strategic priorities by:
• Strengthening regional emergency preparedness capacity.
Enhancing firefighter safety and competency through realistic, controlled training
environments.
Promoting inter -municipal collaboration and shared services.
• Supporting workforce development within the emergency services sector.
The proposed fee framework ensures the facility remains financially sustainable while
maintaining equitable access for local partners.
Local Municipal Partner Impact:
For Elgin County's seven lower -tier municipalities, the impact is positive and
collaborative:
Access to a state-of-the-art training asset at cost recovery only.
Reduced travel and accommodation expenses compared to out -of -region
facilities.
Increased frequency and quality of live fire training opportunities.
• Strengthened interoperability among municipal fire departments.
The Township of Southwold is appropriately compensated for its direct operational
costs, reinforcing the partnership model underpinning the project.
Communication Reauirements:
Following Council approval, staff will:
• Circulate the approved fee schedule to all Elgin County Fire Chiefs.
• Provide written notification to neighboring municipalities and regional training
partners.
• Update County and Fire School promotional materials and booking
documentation.
Ensure operator qualification requirements are clearly defined and documented.
Clear communication will ensure transparency, consistent expectations, and proper
scheduling coordination.
Page 17 of 21
Conclusion:
The Elgin County Live Fire Training Structure represents a forward -looking investment
in public safety and regional resilience. Establishing a clear, fair, and sustainable user
fee model is necessary to protect this asset and ensure long-term operational viability.
The proposed structure:
• Supports Elgin municipalities through cost -recovery access.
• Establishes reasonable market -based fees for external users.
• Recognizes the operational role of the Elgin Middlesex Fire School.
• Maintains the collaborative partnership with the Township of Southwold.
Approval of this framework will formalize operational sustainability while reinforcing
Elgin County's leadership in firefighter training and emergency preparedness.
