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. J.
