The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has the responsibility to regulate activities in natural and hazardous areas in order to:
- prevent the loss of life and property due to flooding and erosion, and
- conserve and enhance natural resources.
This is done through regulations affecting areas in and near rivers, streams, floodplains, wetlands, slopes and the Lake Huron shoreline.
The MVCA also works with municipalities to review development applications to ensure they meet local and provincial environmental standards.
If you are planning a project you may need an MVCA permit, approval under The Planning Act, or both.
For information on in-land regulations and development please email Patrick Huber-Kidby, Planning and Regulations Supervisor, at phuber-kidby@mvca.on.ca or call 519-335-3557 ext. 237.
For information on shoreline development and planning applications please email Anna Soleski, Environmental Planner – Regulations Officer, at asoleski@mvca.on.ca or call 519-335-3557 ext. 240.
Please Note: If you have concerns about tree cutting in your area please contact the relevant County forestry staff. They will be able to provide information on forest conservation bylaws and determine if follow-up is warranted.
