Rawdon Municipal Bulletin
I have some very good news to announce!
While reading this bulletin, you will note that
Rawdon also prioritizes the ENVIRONMENT. This is
an important subject to which every citizen must
contribute.
In March, your council passed a loan by-law for
the rehabilitation of the last three segments of 6th
Avenue (Route 348). These segments represent
more than 2 kilometres and will be refurbished
during the second half of the summer. Everything
should be completed by the end of September.
We are reminded that this road, formerly known as
Route 30, built by the province at the end of the
thirties, has never been ideal. The 2013 work does
not benefit from any subsidy at this time.
In March, your council awarded Excavation Carroll
a contract for $1,633, 261 for the upgrading of
water and sewer networks (sanitary and storm
systems), mainly in the block bounded by Albert
Street, 7th Avenue, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Street and
9th Avenue (see drawing on page 2). This work is
partially subsidized and will significantly improve
the quality of life of the area residents as well as
decrease the volume of water to be treated at the
On another note, I would like to congratulate Mrs.
Marine Revol for her nomination at the MRC de
Joliette; a well deserved promotion. We wish her
great success on her new career path!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of
our businesses who sponsored and paid 100% of
the cost of the publication of the Citizen’s Guide.

Operation Natural
Shorelines in 2013!
Since 2008, the Interim Control By-law of the MRC de Matawinie related to
the protection of riverbanks, shore areas and floodplains (ICB 110-2007)
requires Rawdon’s shoreline residents to keep the shoreline of any lake or
waterway in its natural state.
Source: Fisheries and Oceans Canada
Any work on the shore, such as cutting the grass or cutting trees
is forbidden (except in the access point to
the lake).
Anyone who contravenes the present by-law
is liable for a minimum fine of $300 and a
maximum fine of $1,000.
Let’s make things happen
Many projects aimed at protecting the environment have been planned for the 2013
summer season:
* Creation of the Green Squad who will visit
shoreline residents to assist them in the
restoration of their shore’s natural state;
* Planting of native plant species on the
municipal shores of Rawdon Lake and in
the vicinity of the dam on 3rd Avenue;
* Conference on the naturalization of shores,
on May 21st in the council room at Town
Hall. To register: 450 834-2596, ext. 7162.;
* Passing of a by-law on the follow up of the
emptying of septic tanks;
* Drawing of a master plan for the protection
Library
* Option 2 – Planting: You can choose to plant native plant species.
Let us emphasize that planting does not mean creating a garden,
nor a new border. It is an area which must recreate the natural
Leisure
* Option1 – Simple and cost-effective method: You must stop cutting
the grass immediately on the shore and let nature
do its work. At first, the appearance of the bank may
be poor, but soon the vegetation composition will
evolve and shrubs and trees will establish themselves
naturally. This option is free and requires no effort or

of Rawdon Lake;
* Elaboration of an action plan to reduce
greenhouse gases;
* Mapping of waterways and wetlands on
the municipality’s territory;
* Posting of a new Environment section on
the municipality’s website.
How to design an access point to the lake?
In order to prevent shore erosion and safeguard vegetation coverage, only one access by property is authorized.
Organizations
My shoreline is still artificial. What should I do?
When the shore is not occupied by vegetation in its natural state, measures must be taken in order to renaturalize it. You have two options:
News
Inspection of shorelines
During the summer of 2013, the shorelines of the municipality’s main lakes will be inspected to ensure they have been
designed in accordance with by-law ICB 110-2007. A Green Squad will visit properties in order to meet with
shoreline residents, to answer their questions and to ensure that the by-law is respected. At the
same time, a database will be set up on the status of this strip of land with a width of 10 to 15 meters (depending on the
slope) that surrounds the bodies of water.
Gentle slope: When the slope of the shore is less than 30% (gentle slope), the shore
must be 10 meters wide. A pathway with an angle to the shoreline must be built, except
close to the water body where the path must be perpendicular to the shore. This helps
minimize the removal of vegetation. The path must be 2 meters wide if there is a public
access to the waterway. If not, the access can be 3 meters wide. No materials (rocks, wood,
mulch) should be added to define the
limits of the path. You can simply continue cutting the grass in the access path
to define its limits. You must ask for a
municipal permit to design an access
path in the shore.
Steep slope: When the slope of the
shore is more than 30% (steep slope),
the shore must be 15 meters wide. A

which adapt to the topography of the

Green Window
When the shore has a slope of more than 30%, it is possible to build
a visibility window in the top part of the embankment. To do so, you
must trim and cut the trees and shrubs to make a maximum 5 meter
wide opening in the vegetation. The trees and shrubs must be cut
at a minimum height of 1.5 meters. You must ask for a municipal
permit to design a green window.
* Minimize the area of the structure to protect the natural aquatic habitats;
* Choose untreated wood (cedar, tamarack, hemlock) that contains
natural preservatives which protect it from decaying.
Did you know you must ask for a municipal permit for
any construction, repair or demolition work on a dock?
Pontbriand Lake: Do you have your vignette?
At Pontbriand Lake, all boats with 10 horsepower (hp) must navigate with a vignette
and this, in accordance with regulation # 25-2006, concerning the pricing of access to
vessels via the municipal boat launch at Pontbriand Lake.
Details of the rates for the vignette:
* Rawdon resident or Rawdon taxpayer: $20 annually (vignette purchased at Town Hall)
* Non-resident and non taxpayer : $150 for the day (vignette purchased at the Cascades
park gatehouse)
When the vignette is issued, a vessel identification form must be filled out. During
shoreline inspections, the Green Squad will ensure that all docked boats display their
2013 vignette.
Boat launches. Are they allowed?
It is forbidden to build a private boat launch (roadway), considering that this type of work has a major impact on the environment.
When it is not possible to access the water with your boat from your own property, you must then use the public boat launch.
Respectful navigation: * In order to reduce the formation of waves, the resuspension of bottom sediments and the risk of accidents, it is
recommended to limit your speed on the lake to 10 km/h at less than 100 meters from the shore or in shallow
depth areas (less than 3 meters).
* Swimmers and non-motorized watercraft have priority over motorized watercraft. Motorized watercraft must
therefore manoeuvre in a manner to respect this priority and avoid taking a direct route toward a swimmer or
a non-motorized watercraft.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Emptying of septic tanks:
The municipality is collecting your receipts!
The municipality passed a by-law (no 1011), asking citizens to
submit their receipts for the emptying of septic tanks.
Did you know that the emptying of the septic tank
must be done regularly in order to maintain system
efficiency? The emptying helps prevent solids and
foams to exit the tank and block the drain field.
You must empty your tank according to its use:
* A septic tank that is used year long (building occupied continuously or episodically) must be emptied at least once every two years.
It is possible that your septic tank emptying contractor will take
care of sending a copy of the invoice to the municipality. Just
ask him!
