TAFL shows 153.665 was added in August of last year. Description shows it as 'Township of Lanark - New Channel' with various locations included in the description. Not knowing the area I'm not sure if this channel is already in use or is actually the new one in question.

TAFL currently shows

150.5300
151.0850
153.6650
153.8150
154.0700
158.5500
158.9250
159.2250

154.070 is obviously OFM but I'm not sure how the other repeater pairs match up.

153.815 is the main paging/fireground repeater for the county. Then when on scene will go to a TAC Channel. Currently the TAC channel is 150.530. It seems that they're adding another one. Only 2 new frequencies I found if they're correct would be 153.665 and 159.255.

The 151.085 can be ignored too. It's a common LPU. Its probably used at one of their facilities for maintenance/security.
