SAVE MAITLAND
ASSOCIATION REPLIES
TO LISTOWEL
Editor, The 'Beacon Herald
Sir: This letter is in part a
'reply to recent assertions from
members of the Listowell munci-.
pal government which appeared
in your paper Aug. 6, concerning
the activities and motives of the
Save the Maitland Association,:
We think this i s important since
there is some reflection on the
the Association and its rational
approach to this problem, its
credibility and, above all, the
place of responsible citizenry in
our democratic society.
The Question has been posed:
why should Listowel hear the
brunt of this Association's attack?
On the one hand, we recegnige
that there are other sources of
pollution on :the Maitland River'
and we expect those responsible
for these other sources to realize
their responsibility to begin plan-
ning for an effective solution now.
On the other hand, the mayor
and councillors of Listowel must
admit that the' have been aware
of this problem for many years.
They surely realize that:
(i) The Maitland River is a
perfect exernsie of what can hap-
pen to a river when it is over
loaded with. pollutants,
(ii) The Town of Listowel and
en industry which is a, prime
direct and indirect source of em-
ployment for its populace is the
main contributor to the pollation
of the river.
{iii) Pollution arises from such
aourc:,s as inAdequate septic tank
systems;- drainage ditches, uncoil.
trailed effluent from the' town and
the effluent from the lagoons
when they are drained.
We suggest that if there is any
doubt in anybody's mind on this
point that they observe the river
at the ford just above Listoaret
park, then downstream or the
lagoon at Trowbridge and then
compare these observations with,
those on any bridge on the Little
Maitland River (tor example, at
:Jamestown) or the North Malt=
land River (for m111.010; at
Gorrie.)
To stat3 that other sources are
contributing as well• that the
membership in the AesetietiOn is
not competent to judge the sit-
uation, that people must live with
their waste and thereby Justify
a position and actions is not the
coniitructivr- and realistic 'attitinie
that responsible citizens .should
exPeet from their elected repre•
senittivies.
We have now evaluated tech-
-1101:3 aseu age uo uoaninannui wow
Mee which have been installed
recently at the lagoon by OWRC.
if their figures on flow and on-
eentration of pollutants are cor-
rect, then doubtless these facilit-
ies will go a long way to provide
treatment of the waste water from
Listowel and its industry. Our
concern, however, is still over thp
fine' disposal of the effluent from
the lagoons when they become
full. The present scheme calls for
draining the lagoons at least
three times a year. This effluent
will contain considerable algea,
some disolved carbon and almost
all 0! the phosphorus and nitro-
gen compounds that entered with
the original water. All of this
materiel will contribute to the
algae growth in the Maitland
and this growth will be most
apparent during the summer
• months when the flow is extremely
low, particularly around its source
at Listowel. We recognize that
this nitrogen and phosphorus
problem exists in all waste dis-
posal systems and that there is
some concern whether solutions
using present technology are ef-
fective, economic and realistic.
At, the same time, we must rec•
ognize that this problem is mag-
nified here by insufficient flow
in this river to echieve large
dilution. Future plans for dispos-
al of this effluent should not in-
elede the Maitland River as part
of the disposal system. We are
recnieating the ONVII,C to evalnate
other schemes which we and other
groups are recommending for dis-
posing of the lagoon effluent.
We express concern over the
length of time .it ;ha s taken re,
spOnsible 'Authorities to expedite
the new facilities. Procrastination,
wrangling over 60-40 or 70-30 split
of costs and they inflexibility of
government officials on financial
matters during the period 1962-
1971 is unacceptable if society is
going to meet the dethands in this
important area. We think it is
time for politicians at all levels
as Well a s the electorate to place
more weight on those qualities of
statesmanship which lead to long-
lasting' effective solutions of these
pollution problems rather than
those based on short-term political
expediencies. Perhaps the recent
statement by Nayor Kilberg
relating to the two-year deadline
for a complete sewer system in
Listowel reflects a changing
attitude; certainly we laud such
action.
