<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Thank you for your interest in the RBC
Blue Water Grant that GRCA received. The funding will be used to
support a number of workshops using the rural stewardship guide. There will
also be funding made available to provide landowners with assistance to
implement projects that they identify during the workshops. Well
decommissioning could be included in the funding provided.
Currently landowners in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Wellington</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> and the Upper
Grand have access to 100% funding to decommission abandoned wells. As
Dave has passed on to you there are also locations throughout the watershed
where the Ontario Drinking Water Stewardship Program will fund well
decommissioning. Farmers can access the Environmental Farm Plan funding
too. We will be looking at funding gaps and needs and will try to fill in
areas where funding is currently not available. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

advertising the workshops and the assistance available to landowners. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
