This form gives the Belfast Area Watershed Group (BAWG) access to the riparian buffer zone (15 meters from the stream) of the stream on my property in order to assess and monitor its overall health. If any restoration work is recommended through the assessment process, BAWG will contact me beforehand to discuss the possibilities.
Those undertaking these restoration activities will be directors, employees, or volunteers of BAWG or persons and organizations authorized by BAWG to assist us in our work.
The BAWG watershed restoration work follows all federal and provincial laws and regulations, and BAWG will obtain permission and appropriate permits before undertaking any work. We carry insurance for these activities arranged through the Prince Edward Island Department of Environment, Water and Climate Change.
BAWG will contact me to ask permission before starting any activity on my land, except where BAWG is simply performing a stream assessment and does not step outside the riparian buffer zone (15 meters from the stream). This form covers such activities from the date of signing until the said property changes ownership. I understand that I may cancel this permission at any time by contacting BAWG by email. BAWG will then send a letter confirming the cancellation.
