,of the progress` yOu and your committee
are . making. towards the success of. the
birthdaY celebration. next August.

I :will be looking' forward to being
among those present in, August.
Sincerely,.
After more than a year of
grOwing public concern and
POlitical rhetoric on all sides,
Ontario Envirenment Minist-
er Harry Parrott has .finally
taken the first small step
towards resolving, the acid
rain piabIetTi:ly announcing
his intention to serve a
pollution control order on the
massive INCO Smelter at
Sudbury', Parrott has hope-
fully broken through the
psychological barrier that
„seemed, to encourage endless
research into acid rain, but
littIe actual control.
The .neiv control order will
require INCO to cut, its,
emissions of sulphur dioxide
to 1,950 tons per day by the
end Of 1982. Not surPriSing-
ly, the company is complain-
, ing that this 25% decrease
' from theii present emissions
could interfere with their
future pfeketproduction,, and
that the cost will run into
tens of Millions of dollars.
But to save the lakes and
forest • threatened by acid
,
rain, this first step is a con-
servative one. An Ontario
legislative committee last
year suggested a target for
INCO of 1500 tons per day.
Federal Environment Min-
ister John Roberts called for
a reduction of SQ - 60%, with
some of his officials talking
about the possibility of 1000,
tons Per day as a realiStic
Even rthat figure
aboie the 750 tons per day
that was 'Proposed in an
:earlier control order for
INCO, lifted by the provincial
government two, years ago.
The Federation of Ontario
Naturalists has labelled Par-
rott's move "a good ,begin-
fling", but called for, immedi.
'ate disCnssion.of other tech-
niques`to force INCO's efrits-
smelter
sions to a lower level with a
minimum of delay. As well, a
coalition of groups fighting
acid rain has called foi early
action on thecoal-fired gen-
erating stations owned by
.conrariallydro_to..-reduce-the-
sulphur dioxide sent up their
stacks.
Not all the impetus for
Parrott's crackdown on RICO
comes from within Ontario.
Canada desperately needs an
air pollution treaty with the
Americairr government, and
Mr. Roberts was obviously
told when he Iiisited Wash-
ington that Canada had bet-
ter clean up its own back
yard before it could expect
action abroad. The INCO
superstad, the largest`single
source of sulphur dioxide in
North America, has become
a symbol of the acid rain
battle. That symbol)sm-was
not lost on Mr. Parrott when
he suggested that his actions
to control INCO should sig-
nificantly strengthen Can--
ada's hand in international
negotiations.
