He remarked the coordination role of the Alliance as an umbrella organization, and emphasized that individual trails will be funded, developed and maintained by local community groups. He noted the whole-hearted support of the CPTA for the proposed creation of a Hubley Wildlands Conservation Area. He also added his personal support to the proposal to sell Crown land around Paradise Cove in order to finance the purchase of privately owned land near Black Point Lake near Nine Mile River to permit development of the Bluff Trail. Chambers discussed his analysis of the total phosphate data, which was measured in 5 random samples taken within a circle of radius 50 m. of each sampling station. This is the first time that this kind of sampling has been done in these lakes.
Sheldrake Lake has a much higher phosphate level than any of the other lakes sampled.
It is important to determine why the Sheldrake levels are so high. 1,2,4 and 5. The phosphate levels of stations 1 and 3 in Five Island Lake are significantly higher that at station 2. The phosphate levels at all three stations in Frederick Lake are different. Assessing the changes since 1995 proved more difficult because we only have single samples from the sampling stations in these earlier data, and we only have data for stations 1,2 and 3 on Hubley and Five Island.
