A bit of repair work is needed at the L’Orignal Marina and the fed- eral government is going to pay the whole bill. Age and years of buffeting and beating of wind and waves have taken a toll on some parts of the L’Orignal Marina installation. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DF0) did a recent inspection of the boating facility and sent a copy of its report later, to Champlain Township parks and recreation department, that the floating breakwaters need repairs. Breakwaters are artificial structures designed to “break the water” or other- wise protect either a marina installation or a shoreline from the effect of wave action. It helps provide a safe, secure, and quiet anchorage for boats. Township council received a parks and recreation department report on the DFO inspection during its August 6 session. The inspection report noted that parts of the floating breakwaters at the marina need repairs. The breakwaters, the marina cause- way, and the boat launch are all federal property. The township just leases use of the marina properties from the DFO. So the federal government will pay for the cost of repairs to the floating break- waters while the township arranges for a contractor to do the work. The DFO has set a maximum limit of $32,255, not including HST, for the cost of all repairs. The parks and recreation department contacted three contractors to ask for quotations for the work and received replies from two. Those quotes were passed on to the DFO for review and final approval.
