Keiver, Mr Glen Keiver, Mr Tom Slater and ,,1 Mr G Dizusiak entered the meeting at approximately 200 P M MEETING WITH MR T SLATER Mr Slater and Mr Dizusiak, representatives from ALTA WATER Alberta Water Resources had several matters to discuss RESOURCES with Council, one being a request by Mr Alvin Keiver to investigate the possibility of raising the water level in Keiver Lake Mr Slater noted he had not made extensive investigation into the possibility of raising the level of water in Keiver Lake, but have checked out some items Mr Keiver had suggested pumping water from the Kneehill Creek into the lake In order to study the matter, it would require approval from the M D , the surrounding land owners, and the Alberta Motor Association who presently have a camp site located at the park Mr Slater noted the lake has a limited inflow Photographs of the lake in previous years indicate the level is about the same now as it was in previous year He also noted there is a high ridge between the creek and the lake and this would make it difficult and very expensive to pump water from the creek into the lake The capacity of the creek and needs of other people on the creek would also have to be taken into account, along with the rising energy costs The other aspect involved is that Keiver Lake is a sandy lake and has very little weed growth or algae This is very unusual for this area The water is very clean and presumably comes from springs with very little run off to polluxte the water The concern of Water Resources is what effect pumping water from the creek into the lake might have on the quality of the water It might promote growth of weeds and be a detriment to the quality of the water in many other ways Mr Keiver noted that spring run off from a coulee on the Peter Tainsh property to the east of the lake might be diverted by means of a ditch so as to run into the lake instead of into the slough It was noted that the lake is too shallow to support fish, and Mr Glen Keiver noted that the lake in 1959 was about 10 feet deep It is now about 5 to 7 feet deep Mr Slaterroted that Fish and Wild Life feel a lake must be at least 15 to 20 feet deep before it is worth stocking with fish This depth would enable fish to survive over the winter After further discussion of various matters, Mr Slater noted that Alberta Water Resources would be willing to conduct a survey of the area to determine if water could be diverted into the lake, providing the M D was agreeable and all adjoining land owners consented to Alberta Water Resources going on their land to conduct the survey Mr Ferguson moved that the M D request AlbE�rta Water Resources to conduct a survey, providing the required consent forms can be obtained from the surrounding land owners Carried There was brief discussion with Mr Glen Keiver regarding the Allingham Bridge and use of same in the winter time It was noted the motor grader cannot cross the bridge due to the imposed weight limit of 10 tons It was agreed that the school bus would have to go around in the winter time Mr Glen Keiver and Mr Alvin Keiver then left the meeting Mr Slater briefly reviewed the proposed Three Hills Creek Diversion at SW 7- 33 -24 -4 - Elmer Albrecht' land There are three possible locations for such a diversion and he will be forwarding maps showing these possible sites in the near future However

Alberta Fish and Wildlife because it is a fish damlto see if they would assist in funding this project To date no reply has been received from this department Mr Slater noted the project would cost about fifty to 75 thousand dollars W' Mr Slater also discussed the location of the sewage lagoon if the M D went ahead with installation of a modified sewage system for Swalwell The proposed location would not be approved because of the proximity to the dam The lagoon should be located to the south of the dam, which of course will mean added expense due to the distance involved Mr Slater also reviewed with Council the proposed Acme Recreation Reservoir project The study has been completed and the study indicates that the facility would be used heavily by the residents of the City of Calgary and the surrounding area A similar project is being studied for the Irricana area and at present it is not known V). if both projects would be approved The site for the reservoir would be at the Reimer Coulee and would be a supplement to the Village of Acme water supply Mr Slater noted that his department will be discussing this project soon with the Village of Acme The Orkney Drainage
