because it will cover the sampling expense for the project. The goal is to get 175 samples from the entire township area, using a gridworkmapping systemof representative samples. So far, the SNC has collected 100 samples and technicians hope to have more before the August 28 deadline on the project. Some of the samples are tested on-site and results recorded about water quality and content. Others may go to a private lab for analysis with the OGS covering the expense. Landowners whose wells were sampled as part of the survey will receive a copy of the lab report on their well water at no cost to them. After all the samples collected by the end of August are analyzed, the data will be used to create a groundwater quality map of the township. The goal is to have both the map and analysis report ready for presentation to the township and other interested parties by the end of 2016. Di Iorio noted that, where Alfred-Plantage- net Township is now, it was once part of the Champlain Sea during prehistoric times. When the land shifted and the Champlain Sea drai- ned away, the ancient sea bed became part of the township’s underground profile. Below the marine sediment layer may be trapped pockets of ancient sea water which could result in a salty taste to the water of a well. In other parts of the township, the below- ground profile may feature shale bedrock and limestone and below them pockets of sulphur- taintedwater that could give a «rotten egg» smell to well water. The groundwater map will help

identify these areas and also areas where there are no problems with the overall water quality. So far, Di Iorio noted there has been good res- ponse from landowners contacted about provi- ding samples of their well water for themapping study. There are still areas where SNC needs to

get water samples. Anyone interested in seeing if they can help fill in the blanks on the ground- water survey map can call Di Iorio toll-free at 1-877-984-2948, extension 305, email tdiiorio@ nation.on.ca, or go to the SNC website at www. nation.on.ca for more contact information.

Homeowners using wells for their drinking water supply may want to contact the South NationConservationAuthority.Their wellsmay be key to successful completion of a groundwa- termapping study that would be a real benefit to future development in the township. Since the end of June, technicians with the South Nation Conservation Authority (SNC) have been collecting water samples from wells in Alfred-Plantagenet Township. The samples are tagged, examined, and the data entered in SNC records as part of a groundwater mapping survey project. SNC project representative Tessa Di Iorio explained that the survey has many potential benefits both for individual property owners and for the township at large. «The goal is to collect groundwater samples across the whole municipality and create a groundwater map,» Di Ioria said, adding that themapwill be useful both for local landowners and also for developers deciding where to locate new housing projects. «It’s a great pre-screening tool for developers,» she acknowledged, adding that the map can provide information on both the water quality in a particular area and provide clues about the underground profile which may affect the water quality. The SNC is partneredwith the United Coun- ties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR), the township and the OntarioGeological Survey (OGS) on the mapping project.The OGS involvement is critical
