The Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority has launched an online tool that will allow residents to see watershed areas.
Officials say if the location is outside of a shaded area on the map, developers probably don't need to apply for a permit.
"Residents can now refer to this mapping to see if they require a permit before undertaking any kind of development," says Luke Charbonneau, chair of the conservation authority, in a media release. "It’s simple, if you find you’re outside the shaded areas, you probably do not need a permit from the SVCA. It’s a big step forward in streamlining the permit process.”
The map can be accessed by clicking here and agreeing to the SVCA's disclaimer.
